Seven

Chapter 2: Envy

Kouga ran, using the tiny jewel shards embedded in his legs to propel himself even faster. He heard Ginta and Hakakku call out to him to slow down and wait. But Kouga could smell a certain girl, one who held his heart.

He continued on, running even faster as the smell became stronger. The trees he was running through turned to green and brown blurs as he reached his destination. He burst through the trees, seeing the face of the girl he loved.

He was just about to run and embrace her, when the stupid hanyou got between the two of them. He glared at the wolf prince, pushing the miko back further behind him.

The others of the half-demons pack discreetly stood off to the side, as Kouga's fellow wolves came up and stood on the other side, forming a rough outline of a circle.

"What do you want you flea bag?" Inuyasha hotly asked the wolf demon.

Kouga turned his nose up, and looked away fro the half demon. "You always ask the same question mutt-face. What do you think I'm here for? Your charming personality? No way! I'm here to see that you aren't mistreating my woman." Kouga said, looking at the raven haired beauty behind the dog. He watched as she blushed and looked away from him.

Inuyasha snarled at the wolf demon, and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, preparing for the fight which was sure to come. "she ain't your woman asshole, how many times I got to tell you that?"

"Whatever Inu-trasha, Kagome's mine so I'll ask you to let me see her, and get your dirty, half-breed hands away from her." Kouga said to the hanyou, placing his hands on his hips and glaring.

Inuyasha stiffened and growled low under his breath. He hated when Kouga made this particular insult, and his hands tightened around the hilt until his veins popped out. He was about to retort when he felt Kagome place her small hand on his back and step around him though never letting go of him.

"Kouga, that's enough. Don't call Inuyasha a half-breed. I am not your woman. I am not a piece of property that anyone came claim. I make my own choices, not have them made for me. It was nice of you to visit but I think you should leave now."

Kouga was a little hurt by the words of the girl. Once she was done talking she looked at Inuyasha to see his hands go slightly lax on his sword. He scoffed and looked away. He could feel his jealousy for the damn half demon grow, just by the one look of a girl.

"But Kagome you are my woman. One day you can be with me, a real warrior, rather then, ugh, Inuyasha, don't worry. We will have many pups, and be happy. For now I will take my leave. Inuyasha if you lay a finger on her or let her get hurt in anyway, I'll slice your head off and feed it to my wolves." he turned to leave, hearing profanity spewing from Inuyasha's mouth, but was stopped by Kagome.

"Kouga, I am not your woman, that is not my choice." she called out and looked over at Inuyasha again.

Kouga looked back and forth between the hanyou and miko and shook his head. When he looked up, you could see underlying hurt deep beneath his eyes. "I suppose it is because you already made that decision? You wish to be with another who doesn't even want you?" he accused pointing at Inuyasha.

Kagome went about ten shades of red and quickly took her hand off of Inuyasha. Inuyasha likewise, went about the same shade of red and looked away. "As if wolf breath. I don't want Kagome she's just the jewel detector. But you can't have her either."

Kagome looked at Inuyasha with hurt. She backed up and looked towards the ground. All the demons could smell the scent of salt water. Kagome looked up at the hanyou with tears in her eyes and shook her head. "SIT!" was all she said. As her subjugation spell took effect she stalked off into the forest.

Kouga chased after her, catching up with her in a few moments. He went to take her hand but she stepped away from him. The wolf demon decided to content himself to just walk with her.

After about twenty minutes of walking the miko stopped and started to cry harder than she had before. She crouched down, and held her chest tightly, trying to keep from breaking apart.

"Kagome, I'm sorry. I will kill the mutt face for hurting you, I-"

"Kouga, just go away now please." Kagome said in bursts, cutting the wolf prince off. He nodded his head and started walking back to the clearing. He passed the demon slayer, and pointed her in the right direction.

He walked through he line of trees that circled the clearing. He walked up to Inuyasha and stared him dead in the eye. All of a sudden he punched him, causing Inuyasha to fall to the ground, and hold his jaw.

"You have no idea how lucky you are half-breed." he said and left in a whirlwind of air. His comrades followed, trying to catch the uncatchable demon.

Kouga ran faster, trying to get away. Of all the feelings he felt towards the hanyou this one made him the angriest.

He envied the obvious love that Kagome had for him.

Alright so here was envy.

Thanks for the reviews I got. Originally I was only going to make this seven chapters long but I don't think I will have it that short anymore. I will go through each sin twice since there are so many characters to work with.

So thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed, and hopefully you'll give me a little review!

(After all I updated sooo quickly!)
