Okay, so I've realized that my chapters are ridiculously short and I have decided to try my best to make them longer. This chapter has a fight scene, but you're going to have to bear with me considering I've never written one before in my life!
Rejection
Inuyasha ran through the thick expanse of the forest, dodging trees and rocks alike. He followed the scent of Kagome and that wretch Kouga. To say he was pissed was an understatement. He was livid. No one, and I mean no one, was going to steal Kagome away from him.
He had been running for nearly half an hour, hot on their trail. He didn't see anything as he passed by. Everything was a blur of color. Not even the beautiful scenery pervaded his senses. All that mattered was rescuing Kagome. Although he made a mental note to enjoy the beauty of the landscape on the way back with Kagome, after he beat Kouga to a pulp.
"I'm almost there, Kagome. Don't you worry. I'll rip that fucking wolf to shreds for kidnapping you."
o0o
Kagome wordlessly followed Kouga into his den. She'd rather be in his protection then out in the middle of a forest clearing where any demon could stumble upon her. She would be doomed considering she didn't have her bow and arrows with her. "Stupid, stupid, stupid!" she mentally berated herself. "I just hope Inuyasha gets here soon."
As she stepped into the cave, she stopped to have a look around. It had been a couple years since she last saw Kouga's domain. In the corner to her left was a makeshift bed made out of straw and random animal pelts. In the center was a large fire pit, surrounded by discarded bones and skulls of the unlucky creatures that had fallen prey to the wolves' ravenous hunger. Kagome inwardly cringed.
"Come over here my sweet Kagome," Kouga's request snapped Kagome's attention to the "bed" where the Wolf Prince lounged. "Uhhh…" she flushed a bright red, sensing the underlying hint in the tone of his voice. No way was she going to do that with Kouga! "I want my first time to be with the man I love. I refuse to give up my virginity to Kouga or anyone other than Inuyasha for that matter!"
"I'll just stand over here, thanks. I like the draft coming from the mouth of the cave," Kagome lied. "Well, I'll keep you company then," Kouga said as he sauntered over to the helpless girl. "Leave it to Kouga to be so dense." Kagome sweatdropped at his, for the lack of a better word, stupidity. "Really, Kouga, you don't have to. I'm not lonely or anything, just…" Her words were cut off by his calloused fingers pressing softly against her lips.
"You don't need to explain yourself, Kagome. You're just shy, that's all there is to it. But there's no need to be. I am your mate." Kouga leaned down to bring her lips to his when suddenly something knocked into the side of his head and flung him across the expanse of his cave.
"Dammit, what the hell?" He felt the side of his side and then looked at his hand to see blood dripping to the cold ground. Kouga looked up to where he stood only moments ago and saw none other that Inuyasha, shielding Kagome with his body. "Keh, you better think about the consequences the next time you lay a hand on my mate," Inuyasha pulled Tetsusaiga from its sheath.
Kouga pulled himself up to his feet and glared at his rival. "Your woman? Not likely. Kagome is mine! You know it, she knows it and I know it! So get over it!" he yelled as he ran towards the hanyou, his fist balled up and ready to punch. Inuyasha grabbed Kouga's fist and once again flung him across the room. Kouga hit the stone wall and landed on the ground with a grunt.
"Time to finish you once and for all," Inuyasha readied Tetsusaiga for the final blow. "Inuyasha, no!" Kagome pleaded with him with her blue orbs. "Please don't kill him. I know you two don't get along but he's an ally for the final battle with Naraku." Inuyasha looked at her for a brief second before returning his gaze back to Kouga, who was slowly pulling himself off the ground.
"I don't care who he is, Kagome. He kidnapped you which entitles me to retribution. Our law states so," Inuyasha stated. Noticing his steely resolve, Kagome did the only thing she could think of at that moment. "Sit, boy." Inuyasha's body met the ground with a yelp of shock and pain. "I'm sorry, Inuyasha. You left me no choice," Kagome knelt down to his side and gently patted his head. Said hanyou jerked upright the moment the subduing spell wore off.
"What the hell you'd do that for, Kagome?" Inuyasha's eyes blazed with fury. Kagome sighed, "I don't know what you mean by 'our laws' and whatnot, but I personally don't want to see any bloodshed on my account!" Kouga took this time to spring into action. He foot connected to the side of Inuyasha's head and sent him flying across the room instead.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome ran outside the cave mouth where Inuyasha was sprawled, struggling to sit up. "Get back, Kagome. I'm going to teach this wolf a lesson." Seeing there was no use in arguing, Kagome pulled Inuyasha to his feet then quickly ran behind a large boulder near the entrance of the cave.
Kouga walked out and straight to Inuyasha." As I said before, Kagome is my woman," he cracked his knuckles for effect. "I don't know what you're going on about, but Kagome is definitely not your women!" Inuyasha threw Tetsusaiga over his head and brought it down in a swift arc while yelling "Wind Scar!"
The yellow blades of energy raced towards their intended victim who jumped out of the way, but not without be scathed by the raging winds. "Damn it all! The mutt is getting stronger. I have to finish this fast if I want a chance with Kagome," Kouga thought to himself. "Is that all you've got, puppy?" Inuyasha smirked at Kouga and replied to the wolf, "Just getting started."
Bum bum BUUUUM. How was that? :D This is the longest chapter I have ever written and I have to say, I am somewhat proud of myself. Please review and tell me what you think. I thrive off your encouragement. ;)
