A/N: Ok, Sorry for making you guys wait so long, but things have been getting really busy around here. School is starting up pretty soon so you all know what that means: less time for updates and writing. Imense apologies to those who love this story and want to read as much of it as they can. Please be grateful to know that I am still writing it and am currently on Chapter Eleven.

ChrysoliteHeart: Thank you so much! I love cliffies, to an extent, and love writing them as well! I'm glad you thought that it was a good way to end the chappie

BoredGirl17: The best things in life you always have to wait for...sadly that is the case, but I am sure you will like this chappie as well

dragonkkid1: Wow, that is awesome praise indeed. Thank you so much !

J4YL1N: Here you go, the long awaited Chapter 7!

Ayani-chan: I must agree that Kouga is one of my least favourite characters, mainly because he gets in the way so much of potential KagomexInuyasha times. Enjoy!

InuyashaKagome4lyfe: Omg! That would be totally awesome if Ayame was pregnant by Kouga! I haven't written it out like that, but maybe later on I will put Ayame in the story... I do like her character after all

RelenaPeace: Oh you'll love chapter eight then ;D This chapter should be interesting as well, I hope!

inulover227: Thanks so much for the support!

TH3SAiiNT: Like I said to someone before, all good things take time. I can only come up with so many ideas and have so much time to write them down. Please be satisfied with what I can give you now ok?

Enjoy!

Chapter Seven

Inuyasha didn't do anything.

Miroku and Sango stood in silent shock. When anyone had ever laughed at Inuyasha before, he had reacted violently. It usually ended up that whoever was doing the laughing originally was killed without any mercy at all. Whoever laughed after the initial laughter (i.e. cronies) was also dealt with; this time slightly less severely as the 'attacker' was beat to a bloody pulp – to most likely die on the morrow. To see Inuyasha not react at all, but stand silently staring at Kouga with a fierce look upon his face, was unnerving to say the least.

Inuyasha wasn't going to react. He couldn't react, not with Kagome cradled carefully in his arms. To fight back and try to kill Kouga for his laughter would mean that Inuyasha would have to set Kagome down or have someone else hold her. She would then be vulnerable. So instead, Inuyasha opted for staring stonily at his opponent.

Kouga's laughter soon died off as quickly as it came. He began to get worried. He didn't understand why the mutt hadn't attacked him like usual. Thinking wildly, frantically, he froze. Did he…did he know about what had happened only a month earlier at the hot springs? Kouga searched Inuyasha's face for some kind of clue to answer his question.

There was nothing that he could see that would help him.

'Oh well,' he thought with a sudden grin, 'she's still mine and there is nothing that dog shit can do about it.' He felt like laughing or jumping up and down in excitement. Finally Kagome was going to be his and his alone!

Inuyasha didn't like the grin that was forming on the wolf demon's face. He didn't like it one bit. He could almost hear the gears turning in Kouga's head, the sound disastrous to him and Kagome. And their pup. If he let Kouga finish his thoughts, Kagome would be taken from him. Swiftly, Inuyasha took a small jump back. He wanted to put as much space between him and the stupid grinning wolf as he could, without actually running away. He wouldn't stoop to that wolf's level, no siree!

Kouga's grin only widened as he witnessed Inuyasha's jump, a small attempt to get away from the approaching battle. Oh, so the little doggy didn't want to give up his Kagome did he? Well too bad so sad for that little mangy mutt! Kouga flexed his claws, cracking each individual joint so that it made a distinctive popping noise. He had the right after all, to take his woman from this mutt using force. It was the demon law after all. Section three, line 24. If Inuyasha didn't know that, too bad for him.

Inuyasha clutched Kagome to him more securely before charging straight at Kouga with a sudden burst of speed and somersaulting straight over the dumbstruck demon's head. He carefully landed on the ground behind him. Kagome shifted a little, but then went back into deep slumber. She was unaware of what was happening in reality, as her dreams were filled with a small half demon baby…

Kouga turned around and stared at the mutt before him. When had he decided that he was going to go all fancy? Just who was he trying to impress? He watched and grew frustrated as Inuyasha simply cocked an eyebrow and somersaulted over Kouga once again.

Kouga snarled and spit at Inuyasha in fury. He was being made fun of! No one made fun of the Prince of the Demon Wolf Tribe and got away with it.

Inuyasha slowly sauntered up to Kouga and began growling, snarling, and yipping and yapping at Kouga. The sounds, to a human, made absolutely no sense at all. To a demon, they made some sense, but were mainly mumbo jumbo. Inuyasha was telling Kouga, in somewhat of a primitive manner, that he didn't think that he was important enough to be dealt with.

As the two demons continued their contest for the loudest and deepest dog sounds, Kagome began to wake up. She could feel a deep vibration in her chest and was curious as to what was going on. The sun was shining brightly in her eyes, which meant that it was almost noon time. Noon!? Her eyes jerked open. Why was she still sleeping so late!? Inuyasha would kill her!

Shifting her eyes slowly around her she noticed Sango, Miroku and Shippo standing off to the side looking tense although ready to fight. A puzzled frown made way onto her face, before she looked up towards the person who was holding her in their arms. It was Inuyasha. The expression on his face was fierce as he all but shouted in the dog demon native tongue. Turning towards the person who he was fighting with, she froze in fear when she saw that it was Kouga.

'Oh god, oh god,' she thought wildly, 'he's come back for me, oh god, what am I going to do?'

Breaking the flow of yips and yaps, Kouga began going into a complicated sequence of sounds. He had had enough. He was going to take Kagome for once and for all, whether Inuyasha wanted to give her up or not. It was difficult for him to keep his speed with this series of sounds, as it had to be preformed perfectly or it could kill someone.

His words fell on Sango's ears like magic. It was like an incantation that a priest or priestess would perform to keep demons at bay, and yet, here a demon was saying it. But just what was he saying? Sango was puzzled, and she quickly looked over to see Miroku and Shippo apprehensive and worried. Turning to look at Inuyasha, she saw the same look on his face. He was clutching Kagome, whom she noticed was now wide awake, closer to his chest. Why were they worried about these odd sounds?

The yips and snarls ripping from Kouga's throat caused Kagome to jerk upright in Inuyasha's grasp, before she started struggling frantically to break free. Numbly, Inuyasha set her down on her feet, only to watch her walk almost sexily over to Kouga's beaming and arrogant figure, swinging her hips with every step.

Inuyasha reached out a hand to her retreating figure, a painful, betrayed expression flitting across his face briefly. He let his hand drop after a moment, his claws curling into a fist and his sharp claws drawing blood from his palm.

"Ka…Kagome…." he whispered, watching the love of his life walk away, in a way only Inuyasha wanted to experience, to his rival. He swallowed heavily, before turning his eyes towards the rest of his friends. He saw shock and mild confusion on Sango's face. Miroku's face held sorrow as did Shippo's. They both knew, as did Inuyasha, want that sequence meant. Sango wouldn't have had any idea what the wolf had just done.

Kouga had called his woman to him. And now, if he found out that Kagome was pregnant with someone else's pup….

Inuyasha's heart began to beat wildly, squeezing his chest painfully as he thought about what was going to happen next.

And there was nothing he could do to stop it.

A/N:

Hello Hello! Hope you enjoyed the chapter!

As promised, a small summary of one of the fics that I am working on. Tell me what you think and I might just post it!

Attacked:

Kagome Higurashi and Inuyasha Kyouryoku don't consider themselves friends. They don't even consider themselves aqquaintances. They are enemies through and through. Or at least, that is what Inuyasha thought for a long time. But one night after school, after another daily episode of 'tease Inuyasha' something happens to change Inuyasha's mind. Why is there screaming coming from down the art hallway? Why can he smell the distinct tang of blood and the feel the fear rolling off in waves? And why, when he sees who is hurt, does he rescue her, after all she had done to him?

It's slightly OOC ( I think) and definitly AU. I would like to think it's even better than this story...but I would love your opinions!

Thanks for reading! 3
