Heyhey! Kay, you reviewers are so freakin' amazing, I decided that today is update day! I really dont have specialized days for updating but who cares! I'm glad you are all loving this! It's only because of the fantastic feedback that I've been getting that I keep updating. :) Well, that and the fact that I havent hit writers block for this story and I have a lot of chapters already typed out and I'm on summer break! Although, with volleyball at least three days a week at school, it doesnt feel like much of a break! :) But, enough rambling. I'll thank most reviews at the end, but first...
AnimeFreakAmanda: First off, thanks for reviewing! :) Second off, you are BRILLIANT! haha! I love that you took a guess. I tried to make it obvious, but nobody else even tried. :( And you got it on your first try! I love you!
Disclaimer: I dont own Furuba or Inuyasha.
Kyo slammed his hands down on the table and hissed, "I'm obviously not needed here, so I'm leaving," and ran with the speed of a bullet out the front door. He barely heard Tohru call out his name as he disappeared outside.
Nobody ever wants me! I'm always left out of everything! Kyo ranted silently. In the family I'm ignored because I'm the cat. I never chose to be that stupid furball. At school I'm isolated or picked on because of my hair. And tonight, what was up with that! Was everybody purposely ignoring me? Kagome too! She never ignores me. And… Why does it hurt so much that she did? I'm not really mad at Tohru, I'm always mad at Yuki and Shigure is always irritating. So why do I feel so hurt and angry? An image of Kagome looking with sparkling, happy eyes at Shigure flashed through his brain causing him to slug a nearby tree as he skidded to a stop. He hadn't realized just how far he had run in his haste to get away from the pain and irritation that was his family. Suddenly a scream rent the night air in two and, although the voice was distorted in pain, Kyo recognized it as Kagome's voice. His crimson eyes widened in alarm as he unconsciously ran as fast as he could toward where the noise had come from. As he ran branches whipped at his face and brambles tore at his clothes but he paid them no heed as he ran to Kagome. A thousand different scenarios raced through his mind as he prepared himself for the worst, but nothing could prepare him for what he was about to see.
He was approaching a bush when he stumbled to a stop because he heard voices talking heatedly to eachother.
A suave, rough voice spoke up. "Kagome, would you really come after me with a bow again? I thought you were different from Kikyou."
Then Kagome spoke softly. "You're right, I can't. But I can attack you with this!" A pink light lit up the clearing and Kyo decided that it was time to reveal himself. He pushed through the bush and nearly fell to the forest floor in shock and disbelief. A young man with waist length white hair and ears, fuzzy white puppy ears, on top of his head looked as if he was about to lunge at Kagome who was leaning heavily on a huge beige boomerang. Blood was slowly trickling its way down her forehead from her hairline.
"K-Kyo-kun," Kagome sighed softly. She was glad that he was okay, but this was not a good time for him to interfere. "I'm glad you're okay. Could you please go back to the house? I'll meet you there."
Kyo looked into Kagome's soft, blue eyes and almost agreed until he noticed the blood still dripping from her head.
"No way!" he disagreed stubbornly. "I'm not leaving you with a creep like him!" He jerked his head in 'InuYasha's' direction who simply leered at him.
"Mm, Kagome," he hummed. "Maybe you'd be more cooperative if I got rid of this bug." Then he leaped at Kyo, claws outstretched.
"No!" Kagome cried as she threw a barrier around Kyo. 'InuYasha' bounced off the pink shield and skidded across the dirt floor until he rolled back to his feet. Kagome swayed slightly and wiped the blood out of her eyes. 'InuYasha' glared furiously at the girl and ran at her at full speed. Kagome focused as hard as she could. She would only have one shot at this. She raised the Hiraikotsu easily and swung it with all her mind right at her target. "You are not InuYasha!" she screamed as tears dripped out of her eyes and the weapon made a solid contact with its intended target. The Night Shadow demon split into a thousand shadows trying to escape so they could regroup and form another attack at a later date, but Kagome was too quick for the demon. She sent a wave of her power out after the pieces that were escaping and they shriveled into little bits. Kagome swooned at the sudden loss of energy and as soon as the Hiraikotsu returned smoothly into her hands she shrunk it and collapsed to the ground. The barrier around Kyo flickered and disappeared and he ran as fast as he could to the fallen girl.
"Kagome! Kagome, wake up!" he was truly worried. He had never seen someone do the things Kagome had, but the blood hadn't stopped flowing yet and Kagome wasn't answering his calls. Worriedly, he stood up and lifted the girl into his arms. He glanced strangely at her as he began running back to the house. She was heavier than she looked!
Kyo finally made it back to the house and slammed open the door, splitting the panel and doorframe.
"Kyo! How many times have I told you not to break my house?" Shigure whined.
"Shut up!" Kyo growled. "And call Hatori. Kagome needs a doctor right now."
Yuki hissed angrily while Shigure hurriedly ran to the phone and Tohru rushed to make up a guest room.
"You… extremely… idiot!" Yuki exploded incoherently when everybody except Kyo and the unconscious Kagome had left the room. "How could you let her get so hurt! You know, she went looking for you all on her own! Kagome actually cares enough about you to go after you and you let her get knocked out and bloody all over her head!"
"Shut up you damn rat! I know! I tried to help her but she did something to me. Put something around me, I guess. I couldn't get out of it to help her until she passed out and it was too late."
"Psh!" Yuki huffed and shouldered his way past Kyo who nearly dropped Kagome in the process. Kyo growled softly to himself, but decided that getting Kagome into a warm bed was probably better for the girl in question so he followed the direction Tohru had travelled in. It turned out the guest bedroom Tohru had chosen was the one right next door to his bedroom and farthest from Yuki's. Kyo smirked at the arrangement but wondered if Tohru had purposefully chosen that particular room or if it had simply been a coincidence. Either way she was away from that damn rat and that was all he cared about. For some reason.
