A/N yay! You guys like it! I'm so happy! I'll keep chugging with this story then Enjoy!
I woke up, possibly feeling sicker than before. Mainly because I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar face swooping down, eyes closed wait, was he going to kiss me?"AH!" I crab crawled backwards to get away from him, only stopping in the scuttling retreat when I ran into a wall. Wait wall?
Looking around I discovered I was back in the hut! I distinctly remembered going down outside.
"Oh so your awake my sleeping beauty?" a voice, murmured much too close for comfort. Looking back down from the ceiling I found the girls face inches away from mine. She giggled slightly, and I found myself in another horrible kiss! It was worse than smelling Ink while eating that tongue-burning curry of Kagome's! A wave of nausea hit me and I groaned pitifully as the woman left me there, disgusted like my brother had been.
A voice brought me back from the black tunnel I almost slid into, focusing on the appearance of Kagome I managed to get the room spinning long enough to hear what she was saying.
"Oh hey Inuyasha, good to see your awake!" she said in her normally chipper voice, that was grating on my nerves already. One thing you should never do when confronting a nauseous man, don't act like you feel better then they do. That thought had filtered in just as I realized she was still talking I barely even noticed her smile was a little forced,
"And don't worry," she said, "Myoga told us all about your condition and we'll help you find your mate." She was saying, finishing with the word mate in a distasteful tone.
However remembering the girl from just a moment ago, I narrowed my eyes in suspicion.
"Just how are you going to do that?"
"Well people keep showing up so it's not that hard…" she kept talking, but I was no longer paying attention. Standing I swayed slightly, just how long had I been out? And just how many people had my so called friends let molest me in my sleep?!
Stepping outside the hut I noticed two things wrong. One, there was a line of demons, being held back by Miroku and kept from quarrelling by Sango, all waiting semi patiently to get to the hut. Second thing, the sun was out. The allure was only supposed to be on during the night of the new moon!
A flick of black hair was blown up by the breeze into my line of sight, and I froze. No. This couldn't be happening! No no no no!
"MYOGA!" I wanted an explanation, and I would get one now!
"Oh master Inuyasha; good to see your awake now the trial can go much faster!" Myoga piped up, as he landed on my shoulder.
"What the hell is going on here?!" I demanded of the flea, who merely smiled in a clueless manner at me.
"Why master Inuyasha, we are helping you find your mate by letting them kiss you."
I felt sick, my friends had not only let numerous see me in this wretched human form but they had also let them touch me, while I was un-fucking-conscious! For the moment though that could wait, looking to the flea as I forced down my temper, I asked
"And this form? Why and I still a human?"
Myoga had the decency to look a little abashed,
"Well it would seem that until you find the right kiss you'll remain a human. I suppose this might be why half demons give such strong children, once they regain their form, all that pent up demonic energy has to go somewhere hum?" Myoga grinned.
Ugh, this couldn't get any worse. So not only did I have to show my human face to every demon in Japan I also had to kiss them… the mere thought made my stomach churn. So I did what any person in my situation would do.
I bolted.
Hearing the howls of a hunt rampaging towards me I leapt to the trees to watch, not wanting to interrupt some weak demon's dinner. However what I saw made me almost fall off my branch in laughter. By the snickers from the other side of the tree I could tell Ginta and Hakakku hadn't refrained.
A single, red clad human was being chased by not one but a score of demons, and they didn't quite appear to be hungry for dinner. After all why would one demon share with an entire horde? The confusion of the situation became clear to me though as they came closer. The human was in heat! This made it all the funnier, the poor thing was being chased by a throng of horny males and probably didn't even realize why!
He had to admit she was kind of pretty though. Was she a miko? I wondered. She wore the red hakama pants as one did; though her hitoe was red it made it all the stranger, what was a human maiden doing out here anyways? Watching for just a moment longer I leapt down from my tree to help her, Kagome would adore me all the more if I saved a human!
I landed on the ground just as the girl ran past me, effectively confusing the demons that were so lust struck that they simply skidded to a halt to stare at me, I scoffed and ran circles around them, the dust I kicked up in the process creating a fog around them.
"Humph, stupid weaklings." I mumbled to myself only to hear a rather male scream. Turning to look at the 'maiden' I was shocked to find she was not a she at all but a guy, a really pretty boy! What shocked me more though was the lasso that had been snagged around him, catching his arms to his side and lifting him a few feet into the air? I followed the rope from the boy upwards to see an all too familiar fire cat and demon slayer.
"Don't you try to run away Inuyasha! You have to find your mate or you won't be able to fight Naraku!" Sango was yelling.
I gaped, I had just saved Inuyasha? No, I hadn't saved any mutt face! I'd saved a pretty little human! My hopes of her mistake were shot though as the boy spoke in that all too recognizable voice.
"Shut up Sango! I don't want to get a mate and I don't want to kiss any strange demons! Just look at those ugly mugs I ain't doing it! Let me go!" he demanded, swinging back and forth now as he tried to kick himself free. There was no doubt about it now, this was Inuyasha.
"Kouga-kun!" I wagged my tail at the sound; turning to smile at my future mate as she approached with the hoshi I greeted her.
"Hi there Kagome" Ginta and Hakakku had climbed down now from the tree and I half expected them to greet their pack sister but instead. I watched in semi horror, along with Inuyasha as they both dove at him in an entranced state.
What happened next would have actually been hilarious if I hadn't been so grossed out, my brothers had leaped at the dangling half-breed and yanked him, and the fire cat out of the sky, which meant the demon slayer, fell too. They landed in a heap on the floor and Inuyasha screamed bloody murder as they groped and kissed him- at the same time! Then just like that it was over, both Ginta and Hakakku now having scrambled away from the mutt looking disgusted, while Inuyasha lay still on the ground writhing in agony. I almost felt sorry for him… almost.
"Inuyasha, get up! That's rude! You know you have to find your mate!" Kagome said waspishly, her tone made even me flinch. Though it confused me, couldn't she see how sick Inuyasha was? I could see it, and I hated the dog-breath-human-faced-mongrel. The hoshi came up and stood behind me, watching with equal distaste as the women, together, tied the flailing mutt to a tree.
"Kagome kissed him too, found out she's not his mate, think she's taking it a little rough" Miroku commented, and I felt a surge of anger, Kagome had kissed Inuyasha? How dare her! I paused, wait, and 'how dare she'? Why did I feel that way? Oh right yeah that's it, how dare my fiancé kiss another! That must be it!
"So then why's the demon slayer in on it?" I asked, no longer feeling sorry for the struggling male. Miroku shrugged and replied,
"Sango goes with whatever Kagome says If Kagome is mad at Inuyasha, so is Sango."
I nodded; the females of my pack did the same thing if they were mad at one male he was ostracized from the entire group. By now the demons I'd confused with the dust bowl had found their way out and charged toward the tied up half demon.
I watched in disgust and anger as kiss after lustful kiss was given to the male from boys and girls alike. Demons of all kinds' big small ugly and pretty and after each kiss Inuyasha looked even worse. Quite a few times he passed out, and the only way you could tell was that the screaming had stopped.
I found myself extremely angry, with every kiss administered I felt rage well up. I wasn't sure as to why; I just assumed that it was because Inuyasha was showing such weakness. How humiliating. I paused then at that thought, how humiliating. This must be the worst for Inuyasha, the poor half breed stuck as a human and tied to be 'pecked' at by vultures. The humiliation at such weakness must be tearing him up. It sure as hell was making me disgusted with him!
"Kouga-kun!" I jumped, and turned to the voice of my Kagome,
"You never told us what you were doing here, were you looking for us?" she asked with a smile on her face. Some how I found my self a little angry at her.
"I was just out hunting, but then I ran into Inuyasha and decided to help." I shrugged.
Kagome's face darkened and I almost flinched back,
"Humph if you ask me he deserves this, how could he be so stupid making you go out of your way to stop him! We're just trying to help!" she grumbled in a shockingly childish manner, like Inuyasha was a pet that had run away… I was seeing Kagome in a whole new light, and I didn't like it. Another cry from Inuyasha broke the silence, he was still hidden behind a mob of people but his voice was thick as if he was trying not to cry.
"Miroku! Please! Let me out!" he was begging, I cringed, I hated that mutt but even I was saddened to hear the arrogant jerk beg.
Miroku must have been similarly affected because he ran over to try his hand at untying Inuyasha, a glimpse of Inuyasha's face and my heart clenched painfully, I had seen that expression on many a war veteran's face. It always came at the end of the battle, when promise of seeing their family again became truth.
Inuyasha wasn't freed though; the taijiya had come up behind the monk and smacked him upside the head with the giant Hiraikotsu, effectively knocking him senseless.
"Miroku! Don't let him go, we need to find his mate you know that!" she was yelling as she dragged the hoshi away. I frowned, did all humans treat their packs like this? Ookami did not do this, if a female went into heat she was allowed her freedom to mate with whomever she wished! Not tied to a tree and forced to allow just any male or female kiss her and Ookami definitely did not strike each other unless there was just cause for it.
"I can't believe that, can you Kouga? Miroku was going to free him! Can't he see how much we're helping Inuyasha?" Kagome was ranting, and looking at the crushed look on Inuyasha's face I found, like Miroku, I couldn't see how this helped either. Stepping forward I made my decision. I was going to free Inuyasha. Passing the confused Kagome, I stepped through the throng of demons, litterally kicking some of them out of the way. I made my way to Inuyasha, who looked up at me with a mixture of aprehension and hope and that settled it, I couldn't back out even if I wanted to, no one had ever looked at me like that before he needed me.
I leaned over to him and he pinched his eyes shut, thinking I was going to kiss him. I laughed.
"stupid mutt, I'm cutting you loose you think I'd want to kiss you?"
Inuyasha's midnight eyes snapped open now to look up at me, a confused smile lighting his face as I slashed my claws through the ropes binding him. I had expected him to stand on his own, but no. He fell on me.
"Sorry," he mumbled hoarsly, "feel sick.. dizzy…" he explained, and I chuckled. I'd feel sick after having been kissed by that lot too.
"Inuyasha Sit boy!" Kagome's voice rang from behind me. I looked around confused but found myself flat on my back as the beads around Inuyasha's neck lit up, smashing him into the ground and as I had been holding him up, that ground, was me.
"what the hell!?" I squawked, surprised.
What had just happened here? Why had Inuyasha falen like that? I reached then for the beads and hissed in pain, prayer beads! Turning a fierce glare on Kagome I demanded her to take them off of the half breed, who now embarrassingly enough, had snuggled against me and fallen asleep.
"But.. I need to control him" she said, baffled at the request. I saw red.
"Control him?! Excuse me? You can't tame a demon you stupid little girl! You aren't his mother, nor his mate let him go you… you… Human!" I yelled from my place on the ground, unable to think of a better insult.
Kagome looked shocked before she tossed her hair over her shoulder and turned her head away from them, nose upturned.
"No."
Growling, I stood, and grabbed her by the shirt, pulling her off her feet.
"it wasn't a request Kagome." I was surprised myself, I loved Kagome didn't I? So why was I so angry with her for this?
I watched in a pleased manner as a trembling hand shot out to the beads and tore them easily from the half breeds sleeping neck, one by one the black beads fell bouncing uselessly onto the ground. Releasing Kagome now I moved back to pick up Inuyasha.
"wh-whare are you taking him?" Kagome asked, and I glared at her.
"why should I tell you? You just tied up a pack mate and let them be molested because your angry that you couldn't be his mate? Your such a child!" I snapped before dashing off.
Strangely I felt pleased. I had just saved my enemy from my love, and in the process lost her all together, yet I felt happy. Looking to the sleeping hanyou in my arms I sighed, stupid mutt, why did I save you again? Already I was wondering if this had been a good idea…
