The Other Side

Chapter 29

Kouga's Anger

Kagome was not a happy girl. How in seven hells did she manage to get kidnapped from right under her friend's noses? She grumbled to herself and she started to think of what she would do to get the inus to follow her. If only she could communicate through thoughts but then again, maybe she could. Sesshomaru did tell her she was some sort of elemental so perhaps she could do that if she put her mind to it? Kagome noted that she was getting further and further away from where she could sense Sesshomaru and Inuyasha.

She concentrated on her thoughts and calmed her nerves enough to say, Sesshomaru, I don't know if this will reach you but head to the north. Whoever this is, is heading for Kouga's territory. And for what it's worth, they smell like wolves. She hoped that he would get it cause if he didn't, she didn't want to think about that. She shook her head as she watched the scenery pass by in blurs. Was this really her life? Getting kidnapped seemed like a pastime of hers.

She decided to let this play out and see what actually happens. If they were heading to the north then it was possible that they were heading in Kouga's territory if not, then it was close enough. Kagome did leave the safe house, leaving Kouga mad so perhaps this was his way of telling her that he was unhappy and wanted answers? Kagome paled; if that was the case and both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha found out about that, there was a possibility of death. Of course, this wouldn't be the first time that Kouga kidnapped her… Why was it always her?

How long has it been? It certainly felt like forever with herself being carried. She glanced to the man that was holding her and absently noticed that he was wearing the same type of armor as Kouga. She really hoped it wasn't like the way her mind thought it was. Kagome sighed inwardly before hearing, "Our lord will be pleased with this prize." Oh well shit, that doesn't sound like she was going to Kouga after all. Well crap.

"But we did steal her from Lord Sesshomaru, our lord won't be too pleased with that aspect," came another man. Just how many were with her? Kagome silently prayed that the brothers would find her fast.

"Lord Sesshomaru has nothing on Lord Kouga and since he said that we were to bring her to him at all cost, it doesn't matter," answered the man holding her. Fuck; she was going to Kouga. Well then, whenever she got there, she was totally going off on Kouga. How dare he order someone to kidnap her?! And what he did mean that Sesshomaru had nothing on Kouga? Kouga was weak compared to him, not that she would say that or maybe she would since she was angry enough.

Kagome wished she had something that she could knock this male out with; like a frying pan. Hm, a frying pan on Kouga's head sounds so lovely. She noticed that they were nearing a large mountain, which they all scaled up easily before she was gently—she didn't understand that part; they had roughly grabbed her from her friends—placed her down on a set of furs. This was a different mountain that the one she remembered when Kouga first kidnapped her all those years ago. She glared at the male, who was walking into the cave entrance and once she noticed that it was Kouga, she wished she had Inuyasha's beads to sit this jackass.

"Kagome," he growled out. She blinked in surprise; he never called her by her name. It was always 'my woman.' Now she was nervous; what was going on? "Do you have any idea how offensive it is to dismiss a lord like the way you did a while back?" Was he high? The hell was he talking about—oh.

"Kouga, listen—" she tried to say but was backhanded. She inwardly gawked. He was abusive, wasn't he? Boy was she glad that she didn't 'mate' with him.

"No, I will not listen. You are going to finally understand what it means to be my bitch." Kagome's eyes widened.

Oh.

Oh, hell no.

Oh, hell fucking no.

So this was how this was going to play out huh? Kagome growled, causing Kouga to pause briefly at the warning but ignored it as he dismissed his men. He walked to her as Kagome crouched, her ears flattened and tail twitching in anger.

"You have some nerve, you know. How dare you kidnap me!"

"You are mine and have been mine since I place my claim on you," he said in a calm voice but Kagome knew that was just an act.

"I don't know if you've noticed or not but I have the markings of the west." She watched him look at her markings in distaste as his lip twitched. She smirked at him and added, "Regardless if you think I'm your mate-to-be, I'm not. I have been trying to tell you that for years and now that you finally have seen me, you think that I'm still yours."

"And what, you're telling me that Sesshomaru has placed a claim on you? I highly doubt that so be a good bitch and take what is coming to you." Kouga attacked her after that as Kagome's instincts took over.

Kagome dodged him, jumping to the left to avoid him but was thrown against the cave wall with a roundhouse kick. She groaned but didn't give up. She was fighting for her life and she'd be damned if Kouga was to forcefully mate with her. She let some of her miko powers into her hands and used something… else to push into her feet to make her move faster. Kouga pounced once again, not noticing in his rage that she was ready for his next move.

She leaped up and landed near the entrance with a halt. She took a deep breath as she watched red slowly seep into his eyes. Great, just what she needed; his beast to take over. She watched in both awe and horror as Kouga transformed into a large wolf and charged at her. Kagome brought her arms up to her face to protect herself. He sent them both out and off the cliff; it didn't help that he had her in his teeth, drawing blood around her arm.

The ground was coming closer as Kagome transformed herself into her black inu. She pulled her leg out of his grip and healed it without taking her eyes off of him. Kagome lowered her head, closer to the ground, showing her teeth while growling loudly. Those that were around had their eyes to their fullest at the battle in front of them. This was different and they wondered that perhaps their lord chose the wrong female to go after.

Kouga stepped forward, ignoring the growl before launching after her again, intent in hurting her. Fur was pulled, blood was shed and yelps of pain were heard and seen. The wolf pack jumped out of the way, in fear of getting hurt. Kagome tackled Kouga to the ground, her jaw clamping onto his neck. There was no way that she was going to let go; she knew that if she did, she would be in the position within seconds.

She was breathing hard and was relieved when she heard Inuyasha, followed by his brother coming closer to them. Kagome bit down on Kouga's neck harder and even got him to whimper. She smirked inwardly. She knew that she had won this fight and was damn proud of it too. Kagome would never be able to tell anyone how it happened but one moment she had Kouga pinned, the next, she was pinned with his mouth on her neck.

Damn him! She growled and snarled at him but for whatever reason, he was stronger. Kagome's blue eyes narrowed onto the wolf as her mouth tried to bite him. She couldn't get anywhere near so she went for his leg and crunched on that. He let her go with a yelp as Kagome jumped and landed away from him and in front of the brothers. Inuyasha was about to say something but Kagome roared at him to butt out.

Sesshomaru on the other hand was having none of that and transformed himself. The entire wolf pack hid at the sight of the massive dog whereas Kouga simply howled at the male for trying to take his female. He was ten times bigger and louder that all he did was crash Kouga under his paw. Kagome stayed near him, whimpering that her neck was killing her. Inuyasha bent down near Kagome, taking in the damage and wished they had gotten to her sooner.

She was bloody but she seemed to be healing herself despite everything; her neck was the worst though. "Sesshomaru, either just kill him or help Kagome. Her wound is bad," Inuyasha ordered as he gazed at his brother, who seemed to feel like killing was such a pleasant thought. With a flick of his paw, Kouga was thrown into the mountain before Sesshomaru looked down to the small female.

Sesshomaru barked as Inuyasha looked at him before nodding and jumped to place himself on his brother's back. Sesshomaru bent his head down, opening his large jaws around Kagome's body and picked her up before leaping into the sky.

Kagome cried at being touched but Sesshomaru only growled, soothing her worries.
