CHAPTER 3: Koga's proclaimed love.
"Hakkaku, Ginta…" Koga said "Yes Koga" they both said as they stood up "Your coming with me to hunt, the rest of you watch our two guests" Koga said and ran out with Hakkaku and Ginta running off after him. I sighed and went over to where Koga said I could sit, I laid down and shut my eyes for a bit… I woke up what seemed like hours later and sat up "Hey Shippo?" I said but he wasn't anywhere to be seen "Shippo?" I said again I wonder where he could have gone to. "Stand-up" I looked up beside me and there was Koga something's not right he smells different and then I spot his tail it's different big and fluffy 'Shippo' wow I didn't know he could change forms but that tail's gonna give him away. "Please don't make this look suspicious Akira" Shippo said and I gave a nod and stood up and walked beside Shippo "Hey Koga where are you going with the woman?" a wolf demon asks "I'm taking her out for some fresh air, this place stinks and I don't think it's the wolves" Shippo replied imitating Koga, wow Shippo's really good at this. "Hey Hakkaku, Ginta, go and watch Koga's back for him" the wolf demon says "What are you talking about, Hakkaku and Ginta left an hour ago with Koga" another wolf demon said "Huh? Then who the heck is he?" the first wolf demon says, as wolves start sniffing at Shippo, than one bites his tail "Ouch! That hurts!" Shippo squeals as he jumps into the air and reverts to his original self.
"Think you'd trick us huh? Conniving wench get them!" one wolf demon yells, on no I grabbed Shippo and grabbed a spear from the ground and ran out "We gotta get you outta here, what else can you do Shippo?" I ask while running. "I can expand my body and fly but that wouldn't be any use I can't fly away from here with you" Shippo said I came to a stop as I had come to a cliff face the wolf demons had surrounded us "Shippo you gotta get yourself back to Kagome and the others ok, be safe and don't worry about me" I said then turned around and threw Shippo off the cliff "No! Akira!" Shippo yelled then he changed form and flew just like he said. "Oh no you don't" a wolf demon said as he through his chain at Shippo to catch him, I through my spear at the chain "Shippo! Go find Kagome and quick!" I yelled, "You conniving wench you'll regret that" another wolf demon said as he approached me, I stood my ground firmly as I perked my ears back. Suddenly a boar landed on the wolf demon, I looked up to see Koga standing on a higher up ledge with Hakkaku and Ginta standing at either side of him "Hey, now what did I say about this" Koga said "Hey Koga look, the little guy is flying away, he's over there" Ginta says pointing at Shippo. Damn this isn't going to be good, Koga stood there in a thinking pose staring at me then jumped down in front of me "It's decided… You're my woman from now on" Koga said with a grin "Huh?" I exclaimed my ears stood up, and I stood there dumbfounded. "But Koga she's so different you don't want her" a wolf demon intervened "Idiots, she can see the sacred jewel shards, so she's much better than any regular female wolf demon" Koga replied "Then we could collect all the jewel shards in the region and our pack would become unstoppable" a wolf demon said "Yeah, that's right…" Koga said and walked up to me and put his arm around my shoulder "Akira you're my woman now, got that?" Koga said with a grin. I can't believe this guy, who does he think he is, I pushed him away "Look here, I ain't some prize boar you can claim as yours, I'm a person with feelings and besides I ain't available" I said as I turned away closed my eyes and folded my arms across my chest. "Huh? You're taken? Don't tell me your with that Mutt, Inutrasha" Koga asks I turned around with my ears turned back as I growled "How dare you presume that I would be with such an arrogant, self-absorbed, pup like him, and I'm not taken just un-available" I said to him, Koga smiled "At least were on the same page about that mutt, but why are you un-available then?" Koga asks. I turn away my ears still tuck back "I have to avenge my parents, I will not stop fighting until that demon is dead…" I replied.
"What if I killed this demon for you?" Koga asked me, he looked serious but I felt as if he wanted to help me not as a need for trying to get me. "Well I'd be in your debt" I replied Koga smiled "Then I'll bring you his head, once we've taken care of these bird brains" Koga said, I smiled back at him then turned to look at the sun "We should leave after your pack eats, they'll need their strength if we're to beat these demon birds" I said as I turned to face Koga. Koga smiled "Then let's eat" he said as we all went back in the den for a feed, well this day was sure fun… I sighed and gave my food to the wolves I smiled as looked over them sharing there portions of food. After everyone was finished eating they all suited themselves up with weapons "Ready men?" Koga yelled "Yeah!" they all yelled back "Let's go get them" Koga said as he lead us all to the nesting grounds of the birds of paradise. We all hid down behind rocks and boulders near the bottom of the mountain "The jewel shard is definitely here" I said "Good, can you spot where?" Koga asks I look about the sky then scan the mountain, I could see a huge bird with two half bodies and a jewel in it, I gasped "H-he's huge… he's in the mountain, I'll have to get closer to know where he has it in his body though" I replied. "They've spotted us, you guys handle the brutes I'll get the big guy, come on Akira" Koga says as he holds me close to him and jumps up the cliff, fighting off the birds as he goes, "Where is he?" Koga asks suddenly a huge bird demon emerges from the cliff and hovers a little ways away from us keeping its gaze on us.
"We've been looking for you, the wolf demon leader that has jewel shards, it's great that you decided to make a home delivery" the head on the right says, "Oh I have something to deliver alright!... Akira where's the jewel shard?" Koga says. I look at the demon it's in the mouth… oh no this isn't going to be easy "It's in the mouth…" I reply "Yes and we will take your jewel shards and devour you both" the left head says, then charges at us. Koga jumps to avoid it then hops down to ground level and puts me down where Hakkaku and Ginta are "You two protect Akira…" Koga said and took out a spear with two points from a dead demon lying on the ground. Koga spun the spear around "Koga, Where are you going? What are you planning to do?" Ginta asked worriedly "I'm gonna waste that demon" Koga said "Wait Koga, you're not seriously planning on taking that thing on all by your self are you?" I asked with concern, "I have to there is no one else strong enough to take that two-headed talking turkey on" he said then ran off "Wait Koga!" I yelled. Damn if he just waited I could have given him my jewel shard to help him, my ears flicked back "Don't worry sis, we'll get you to safety" Ginta said, I looked at him strangely as I flicked my ears straight up "Sister? Are you talking about me?" I asked "Yeah, after all you are Koga's woman now, so we treat you as one of us" Hakkaku said. "Get down!" Ginta yelled as he threw himself over me, and then was picked up by a bird demon "Help!" Ginta screamed "We have to do something" I said "It's too late he'll be taken to their nest and devoured" Hakkaku said "No" I said. "My katana…" I took out my katana aimed it at the bird demon "Hit the mark!" I yelled as I threw it, it flew through the air and hit the bird man and sent it falling down, it hit the ground first then Ginta, I ran over to him "Are you ok?" I asked "Yes, thanks sis" Ginta replied catching his breathe.
Other wolf demons came over when they saw what happened "Wow, what a shot" "Yeah that was amazing" the wolf demons praised me, I took my katana from the bird demon "Now is not a time to celebrate, we must keep our guard up" I said to the wolf demons and wolves. "There's more coming!" Ginta yelled, and in the sky hundreds flew straight towards us, I clutched my katana tight, then suddenly the demons were cut down, "You owe me big time ya stinking wolf now let's go" Inuyasha said as he held his sword. "Akira!" I saw the others come down on Kilala and Takara, "Inuyasha you bastard can't you be nice to me for one minute" I yelled at him "Nice! I just saved your life how nice do you want me to be!" Inuyasha yelled back at me, I growled "Akira!" I saw the others land and ran over to them "Takara!" I yelled as I through my arms around her "Akira what's going on?" Sango asks "Huh oh right, the wolf demon tribe is in an all-out war against the birds of paradise" I explained as I snapped out of my excitement in seeing Takara again. Miroku stepped out in front of all of us "Alright I'll take care of them, stand back if you value your lives! Wind-Tunnel!" Miroku yells, seeing Miroku's wind-tunnel suck all the birds of paradise up was simply amazing "Wow" "Amazing" "That's unreal" the wolf demon said amongst them-selves. "I'm busy, I don't have time for dog training today so I'll let you escape, go home puppy, get out of my face!" Koga yells at Inuyasha "Shut up wolf, your gonna pay for kidnapping Akira and Shippo" Inuyasha yells back "Hey dog-breathe take this chance to run, but keep your hands off my woman got it?" Koga says. I could feel my cheeks redden and my ears turned back slightly, "His woman?" Miroku says aloud, "She can see the sacred jewel, so she's perfect for me" Koga responds "What!?" Inuyasha yells "Is there any truth to what he's saying Akira?" Miroku asks me "Nothing's going on, I haven't agreed to anything" I reply.
Inuyasha perked up "I knew it, he's living in a fantasy, ya flea-bag" Inuyasha yells, "It's not a fantasy, I've claimed her as mine, I'm in love with you Akira!" Koga shouts, my cheeks turn bright red "Uh…" I look up at him speechless my ears flop down to each side. "Your far better off with me and you know it, it's time to make a clean break, and stop following that mutt, once you've been with a real warrior like me you'll never go back to scraps again" Koga says then laughs, as the wolf demon tribe cheered at his speech, oh god I feel so embarrassed and flustered, I don't know what to do. "He's pretty direct isn't he?" Shippo says, "I wish I had that kind of audacity" Miroku says I just stood there, "How dare you humiliate my friend like that, she's not your property!" Inuyasha yells then runs up the mountain chasing Koga, friend? Did Inuyasha just call me his friend since when did we become friends "Stupid mutt I told you I'm too busy! Go play fetch somewhere else!" Koga yells. Just then I sensed the jewel shard, and shook off the feelings I had and perking my ears up "Koga! It's about another fifty feet up!" I yelled, "Fifty feet more? Cause there's nothing at the peek!" Koga yells, "Koga it's behind you! Watch out!" I yelled. Seeing Koga just dodge the bird demon in time the bird demon was fly up in the air but I couldn't see Koga, oh no I see Koga fall from the bird demon and land on the top of the mountain, but he only has two shards now... I hope Inuyasha helps him. Suddenly seeing a bright light up on the mountain "Takara!" she turned into her huge form and I hoped on "Hakkaku, Ginta, come with me I may need your help with Koga" I said they nodded and hoped on behind me, "Quickly Takara" I say.
Takara takes off into the sky and as we reach the top Inuyasha was about to kill Koga "No!" I yelled and jumped from Takara, tackling Inuyasha "Hakkaku, Ginta, get Koga on Takara and take him to safety" I shouted. "Ok" They replied as they helped Koga I stood face to face with Inuyasha "What are you doing? We need his jewel shards!" Inuyasha says "No, I won't let you, I know you still want to finish your battle off, and kill Koga but I won't let that happen besides you called me your friend before, why? When we first met you wanted to kill me" I replied. Hakkaku sits at the front while, Koga sits in the middle, Ginta sits at the back holding onto Koga, Takara takes off and hovers above the cliff still watching us "Don't you dare protect that flea-bag by changing the subject, you can wait your turn for our dual to be finished" Inuyasha says. Inuyasha jumps over me and heads for Takara I jump and grab his leg and toss him back to the ground "If you want Koga you'll have to go through me first, dog boy" I said as I drew my katana "Ha, I'll cut your katana in half with no trouble" Inuyasha says smugly, just you try it, a smile crossed my face and I drew my ears back Inuyasha charges at me and swings his swords and I hold my katana in front in a defensive position, when his sword hit my katana, suddenly a charge it between us and some sort of light bolt charge flung us apart I rolled and skidded across the hard ground, "Akira!" I shook my head "I'm ok!" I yelled as I got up and looked at Inuyasha we both had the same look on our faces. What happened? Why did that happen? That's never happened before "Takara!" I yelled, Takara came past me and I wrapped my arms around one of her legs as she flew past, I let go once I was close enough to the ground, when Takara landed Hakkaku and Ginta helped get, Koga down off Takara, I sat on the ground and held Koga in my arms as the wolf demon clan surrounded to see what had happened. "Hey flea-bag we still have a match to finish" Inuyasha says as he jumps down from the mountain, "Inuyasha, Koga is hurt this is no time for posturing" Kagome says "Never mind, this is nothing" Koga says, "Koga don't get up" I say "Trying to get me while I'm down but I'm still able to whip ya" Koga says, "Ha, again with the insults… You're dead" Inuyasha says charging towards him. I jump in front and dodge his fist then hit him in the gut "You want to fight again huh? Well you'll get no special treatment for being a girl" Inuyasha says "Inuyasha! SIT!" Kagome yells. "Get Koga out of here quick" Kagome tells the wolf demons, "Kay your right, Koga take my arm" Ginta says, and they run off, I look at Takara, "Takara go with them and help Koga, I'll stay with Kagome and the others, keep me informed, ok?" I say to Takara, Takara nods her heads I give her a hug and then she flies off and follows the wolf demons.
Be safe Takara and help Koga get better, I could hear Inuyasha growl, "What's a matter with you now?" I ask as I turn around to find Inuyasha death staring me, "You know…" Inuyasha replies then walks away. I sigh heavily, Miroku, Sango and Shippo are on Kilala going to the top of the mountain and Kagome on Inuyasha's back they make they make their way to the top of the mountain I use the power the jewel shards and tried running up the cliff. I had got to the top first and picked up the two jewel shards, I opened my secret pocket in my skirt it was only small but I placed one of the jewel shards in my pocket and when the other came to the top they looked at me stunned that I could run so fast. "Hand the shards over" Inuyasha said I walked over to Kagome and handed the one I had in my hand to her, "Wait, where's the other one" Inuyasha barked, "Koga must have taken it with him, when you were busy battling me, I found this one over there" I replied Kagome looked at me then winked I gave a weak smile. We headed off again Kagome looked tired "Sango can I borrow Kilala?" Kagome asked "Sure" Sango replied "Hey where are you going?" Inuyasha asked "I'm going home" Kagome said and hoped on Kilala and left, I sighed "I suppose we should set up camp somewhere until Kagome comes back" I said "Why? We know where three jewel shards are so we should go get Koga and take them" Inuyasha says "Inuyasha you can't Koga's injured it won't be fair" I said "Then maybe you should be with him making sure he stays alive and safe, since you're his woman" Inuyasha replied. "Inuyasha! What is wrong with you today?" Miroku asked "Its cause he got called names, and the very person he wanted to dual got away… You know what I'll see you guys around, tell Kagome I'm sorry for leaving the group but we will meet again" I said "You don't have to leave, where will you go?" Sango asked "I'll search for Naraku, I'll be fine, it was nice knowing you all and I'm sure we'll meet again soon" I said then walked off.
As I walked through the valley I thought of everything that had happened I should collect some herbs and make some remedies up, and take them to Koga, I'm sure there are others that are badly hurt as well. So I walked around picking bits of certain plants and put them in my pouch, I need a place to mix these the only thing I can think of would be home so I used the power of the jewels and ran as fast as I could to my old home. I approached the hut and went in, as I looked around, it was exactly how I had left it, though now it was all dusty, I should clean before doing anything, so I cleaned the whole house inside and out, I admired my cleaning skills and went to the pot and laid in front of me certain plants, mixing some and leaving others out just by themselves. "All done…" I sighed that took a while then I used some vials that we had stashed away in a cabinet for the remedies and place the plants, remedies, some washers, and pieces of fabric in a basket, I closed the basket up and exited the hut, I should pay my respects while I'm here, so I gather some flowers. By the time I had reached the graves it was completely dark I laid some flowers on each of the graves and prayed for them "I wish you were both still alive, I'm completely lost at of what to do after I avenge your deaths, I wish we could be a family again just one more time" I said as a lonely tear ran down my face I sniffled "I must go, Koga and his pack needs my help but I will be back, I promise" I said once again. So I headed off picking up Koga's scent and running towards it as soon as I got close I stopped running and walked, running doesn't tire me out but if I let Koga or the others see I have jewel shards too I could be in trouble.
As I walk further I could see figures "Who's there?" a wolf demon shouts "It's just me, Akira…" I reply, "Akira! Your back, welcome" the wolf demon replies I keep walking towards them "How is Koga?" I ask. "He's in pain and he's arm is getting worse" he replies "Seems like I came at the right time, how is everyone else? Any minor or major injuries?" I ask "Yeah quite a few, what's in the basket?" he replies "Healing plants and herb remedies, they'll help, I made heaps so you can keep whatever is left over and used it again when its needed I'll tell everyone what each one is for" I replied while we kept walking. We entered into the den and I saw Koga in his spot gritting his teeth in pain "Koga" I said as I rushed over to him "Here let me take a look, I made a remedy that will help" I said as I knelt beside him "Akira…. What are you doing here?" Koga asked "Well I figured you'd need me around to tend to you, after all that is a serious injury you have there" I replied. Koga smiled "You sent Takara here to look after me though" Koga said, I looked at Takara who was sitting close by "What are you trying to say Koga? Don't you want me here?" I said in a huff and after all the sweet things he said. Koga grabbed my hand "That's not what I meant, I'm just surprised that you're here and not following that mutt around" Koga said when he said that it brought a smile to my face, I moved Koga hand off mine "Takara let Koga lean on you please" I asked her nicely, she nodded and turned into a medium form, letting Koga rest against her "Hakkaku can you brace Koga… I'm not gonna lie this will hurt a lot, but just bear with it please" I said. I grabbed out a vial, a washer and piece of fabric "Ginta can you hold this washer and fabric for me for a moment?" I ask "Sure" Ginta says with a nod of his head, I laid Koga's arm on my lap and held the vial just above his arm "Try not to move" I say then place a few drops into his gash, Koga groans in pain gritting his teeth and clutching his eyes shut "Ginta can I have the washer" I ask, Ginta passes me the washer and I place a few more drops on the washer then hold it to his gash "The fabric please" I say and Ginta passes me the fabric.
As I tie the fabric round the washer to hold it in place Koga is still groaning in pain "I'm finished Koga, it should get better in ten to twenty minutes give or take a bit" I said. I went around to all the wolf demons that were injured and treated them and then taught a few that escaped unharmed which one was used for what, how to find and make it, once I had finished I returned to Koga. "The remedy worked fast, he's asleep" Hakkaku said, "Is it meant to make you sleep?" Ginta asked "No, Koga's probably just exhausted from everything that's happened today" I said, "Yeah, well he has been through a lot, he captured you, made you his jewel detector then his woman…" Ginta said "Don't forget attacking that huge bird of paradise and getting his jewel shard ripped out" Hakkaku added. Ginta nodded in agreement "But not before he pro-claimed his love for Akira in front of everyone" Ginta said with a smile I just sighed what a day indeed "I'm gonna get some sleep guys, wake me up if anything happens, kay?" I said "Sure" Hakkaku replied I then laid down on the ground in front of Koga and Takara but still in Koga's little area. I listened to Hakkaku, Ginta and some other wolf demons go on about Koga and me though I vowed not to get involved with anyone until after I destroyed Naraku, even though Koga said he would help I'd rather him not get hurt. When it comes to mid-day tomorrow I shall leave in search of Naraku but leave Takara to Koga so she may help him and his pack hopefully Takara will understand that this is for the best, if Takara were to get hurt or die because of me I would never forgive myself, besides she seems so happy here with other wolves I then drifted into a deep sleep.
I hope you all enjoyed that chapter, I know the first three chapters are a similar storyline to Inuyasha but I promise it breaks away from it at times, thanks for reading until my next chapter… Happy Reading :)
