Disclaimer: Inuyasha and co+ me I own…no not really.
Chapter 21
After they packed there stuff they were sent off by Shessomaru and Rin. The two told them to go to the Eastern Mountains, and over that should be wear Naraku's castle lays after a week or so of traveling.
It took the group a couple of days to reach the base of the mountains. When they started the walk up the group had a gnawing feeling that they were being watched/followed. Inuyasha said that the scent of the mountains were over powered by; as he said "filthy wolf stench." It was right before sundown when they made camp.
As usual they set up the fire and made dinner. But something was off, it just didn't feel right. Kagome felt a heated gaze on her; this is when she decided to speak up.
Kagome looked around the forested mountain. She looked at her group of friends and spoke quietly.
"Is it just me or are we being watched?"
"I have been noticing that as well, it's very odd." Sango said bringing her Hiraikotsu closer to her self.
"I agree, very odd." Miroku clenched his staff tightly.
"Kagome stay close to me we aren't alone." Inuyasha said grabbing hold of tetsuaiga.
As soon as Inuyasha finished sentence seven beady blue eyes surrounded the group, slowly coming closer. When a brown paw reached out of a bush, Inuyasha fully toke out his fang.
The group was surrounded by wolves. No one dared to make a move, well until Inuyasha got impatient.
"What do you want wolves? Where's your leader?" he spat out.
All of a sudden three of the wolves sprang at Inuyasha, pushing him far into the forest, while the other four wolves attacked Sango, Miroku, and even Kirara. They all were too distracted to notice that Kagome was being kidnapped.
Kagome was screaming bloody murder for this man to let her go.
"Let me go, you stupid beast!" she yelled slamming her fists into his back one by one.
The man that had captured her was going at a terribly fast speed. The man had the appearance of a full youkai. Which Kagome had easily sensed from his aura.
"Would you just shut up and be quiet!" the youkai yelled irritability back.
"I will not shut up until you take me back to Inuyasha! He might be hurt!" Kagome yelled kicking his gut really hard with her knee. The youkai dropped Kagome to hold his pained stomach.
"Why the hell did you do that!" he growled.
"Because I need to get back to Inuyasha!" she said standing up from her fall.
"What that dog turd you were with?" the man asked.
"He is not a 'dog turd' so don't call him that!" Kagome yelled at the dumb headed youkai.
She took a look at him and found out by his long fangs, pointed ears, long claws, and tail that he was a wolf youkai. (a/n: though I don't know if she saw the wolves…duh!) His eyes were a bright icy blue while his long chestnut hair was tied in a high ponytail. For clothes he wore animal skin and a shield/animal skinned chest armor. To top it all off he had a matching head band and half arm socks. He was very charming but not to Kagome's liking.
"Who are you and what are you planning to do with me?" Kagome asked taking two steps backwards when he stepped one step closer.
"My name is Kouga and I am the prince of these mountains. And what I want with you is…for you to become my mate." he said to confident.
"Augh! What is with everyone wanting me as there mate?" Kagome sighed out of frustration.
Kouga looked at her with surprise and finally smelt it. She was marked. He wrinkled his nose with disgust she must be courted to that mutt, his mind kept thinking. He finally opened his mouth after the weird awkward silence.
"Your mutt-boy's intended mate aren't you?" he asked.

Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango fought off the wolves after quiet some time. Yet when Inuyasha came back to camp to find Kagome gone he went berserk. It took him a mere second to sniff out that she was taken away from a mangy wolf.
Inuyasha was running fast to catch up to his intended but it was very difficult to sniff her out when the whole mountain stanched of wolves. But after awhile he caught a small sniff of her scent, and ran 10 times faster.
"Inuyasha must have caught Kagome-chans scent!" Sango exclaimed to Miroku as they rode Kirara, following Inuyasha.
(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)
"And what if I am?" Kagome asked cautiously.
"Well since your not fully mated I could just wait until that mark leaves. Then I will mark you as my own!" Kouga said uncaring to what others thought.
"Inuyasha will come from me, before you can do such a thing like that!" Kagome exclaimed.
"That mutt is going to catch up to us soon, so I better take her to the den. All over that area smells of my wolves so he'll have a hard time finding it." Kouga mumbled to himself.
"What was that?" Kagome asked.
Kouga did not respond but simply walked up to her as she was trapped between a tree and him. He picked her up easily and flung her over his shoulder. Before she could resist he sprinted off higher up the mountain. It was near the top of the mountains he stopped at the den.
It was a beat up old cave with a waterfall hiding its passage way. There were other wolves and youkai wolves hanging around the place. When Kouga brought Kagome in he carried her over to the back of the cave and placed her on a hay bed with fur around it.
"You stay here until I say so got it." He then turned to all the wolves that were hovering around her, staring at her as if she was a piece of fresh meat.
"And for all of you, you will not let one finger, paw or anything touches her and if they do they will pay personally by me. Got It!" Kouga yelled. Every wolf and youkai backed away.
"Ginta! Hakkua! Come here!" Kouga yelled for two other wolf youkai like himself. The two ran up to him and greeted.
"Kouga you're finally back! But who is this, she doesn't look like she can be shared evenly though the pack?" the one named Ginta said/asked.
"We will not be eating her, she is my women and I want you two to protect her. Also make sure she doesn't escape." Kouga ordered.
"But Kouga she has all ready have a mark to another, isn't he going to come after her?" Hakkua inquired.
"Yes most likely, but the whole mountain smells like our pack and the dog breath will have a hard time smelling her out." Kouga answered.
"So he is an inu-youkai then, aren't they very possessive?" Ginta asked.
"Inu hanyou actually, and yes they are. As for the mark it should disappear at the end of the week. But I must be off, if I have to hunt for the packs food." He turned back to Kagome sitting on the hay, kneeling next to her.
"I'll be back soon." He kissed her hand and said "My women." Before Kagome could complain he ran put of the cave.
"Aurgh!" Kagome sighed under her breath. Kagome looked around and saw the other two wolf men at either side of the entrance to the "bedroom." She had to make a plan on how to get back to Inuyasha and the others.
'Ok so I'm being guarded and wolves are all around me. How in hell am I going to get out of this one…great now I'm swearing like Inuyasha!' (Yawn) 'Wow I'm a lot tired then what I thought I thought I was. I'll just take a quick nap then think of a plan later on at night.' She placed her head on her arms and drifted off into a deep sleep.
(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)
Inuyasha felt very sleepy all of a sudden his mind was fussy, yet the determination to find his mate was what kept him going. One thing that confused him is that once in a while he would blink red and feel his tetsuaiga pulse, but he ignored it and kept running. Even though he could barley smell her he could feel her calling out to him. A scent that only he could smell a felling only he could fell drew him closer.
Once in awhile he could hear Sango, Miroku talk above him but just ignored them. He had better things to do then to listen to there conversations. The number one thing that frightens him is that Kagome would be hurt by the damned wolf. If one finger was laid on her he would surely slice a head off with his own two hands.
The scent was dragging the group higher and higher up the mountain. Yet her scent was getting more and more covered by wolves scents. The higher he got the more he smelt wolves until he could only smell wolves. It was almost right time and he couldn't find one single scent. Few more hours went by and it was night. That's when Miroku yelled down to Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha we have to take a break for night. We have been going since the morning and we haven't eaten in almost a full 12 hours. Please Inuyasha will keep searching for her when the light reached the sky."
Inuyasha really wanted to complain but he knew his human companions wouldn't be able to keep up if he kept going. He also knew Kagome would want him to wait up for them. So reluctantly he stopped.
"I'll be finding you soon Kagome I promise." He whispered to the sky, as Kirara landed.
They all eat but Inuyasha refused not until Kagome was back. He also refused to sleep until she was in his arms.
