Being at the Wrong Place, at the Wrong Time
Kagome took Ionn's reins and stood, staring after Inuyahsa.' Why did he do that?' She mounted and jogged after him. " Why did you do that?"
" Do what?", he asked, avoiding her gaze.
" You threatened to kill me. why? Is there something bothering you?" She looked at him expectantly.
He sighed. ' I won't tell her. She doesn't need to know. She'll get involved and I don't want anyone else to get hurt'. He turned his amber eyes to hers and started to speak. " Look girl, don't go meddling in my affairs. I don't openly talk about my life to people I've just met so back off".
Kagome was taken back by his statement. " Sorry. I was just wondering if I could help you don't have to bark at me".
" I don't want your sympathy so save it".
" Okay fine then, act like a asshole for all I care".
Kagome spurred Ionn into a canter and sped ahead of Inuyasha, a frown planted on her face. ' Does he have to be such a jerk? All I did was ask if he needed to talk about something. What did I do to deserve that? Pah, what a loser'.
She heard another set of hooves and turned to see Inuyasha cantering up beside her on his stallion. She stuck her tongue out at him and averted her gaze.' A jerk like that doesn't deserve my time'.
" Hey look I didn't mean to hurt your feelings but I hardly know you so you do understand". He gave her a apologetic look.
Kagome ignored him.
" Oh pah-leeze? I'm not that much of an asshole. I can be a real gentleman if ya let me".
" Your wasting my life. Jerks like you don't deserve my time".
" A jerk am I? Well then how about I call you bitch from now on? That would suit you just fine."
Kagome fired a glare at him that would kill a cow. " I've tried to be friendly but nooooooo, you had act all stupid and end my hopes of actually having a friend!" She turned her gaze back to the scenery infront of her.
" Keh. What do you know about being alone. You got your 'wolf boy' Kouga by your side. How could you ever be lonely?"
A vein popped on her forehead. " Kouga is no FRIENd OF MINE! He's no friend at all just a nuisance."
He leaned away at the rise of her voice. ' Maybe I'm going to far...' " Oh yeah right. Okay so how about all his servants and squires. Aren't they any company?"
This time he had gone to far. " Why do you care?!? You won't tell me anything thats happened between you and Kouga so why should I share mine?! JUST MIND YOUR BUSINESS!!!" She dug her heels into Ionn's side and spurred him into a gallop.' Jerk. He says I should mind my own business and then asks me about mine! NO self respecting idiot would do that!'
A gray face appeared beside Ionn's and Kagome nearly screamed in frustration. " WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!?!" Kagome urged the gelding for more speed, wanting to lose the jerkosaurous.
He grinned back at her. " Oh so you wanna race now. Okay then lets go". He whooped to his stallion who immediately leap into 6th gear. Ionn responded instead of Kagome, matching his stride with the dappled war horse beside him.
' I just blew up at him and now he wants to race?? Huh, typical. He's just trying to say sorry without actually saying it. Well he's got another thing coming because this horse has a wholes lot of speed'. Kagome lent forward and absorbed Ionn's movement, becoming one with him. She whispered in his ear, a command to let it all out. He needed no encouragement after that.
Everything seemed to mold into one shape. The world around them faded away as his strides lengthened. He thrust his neck out and pounded for all he was worth. The horse and rider beside them fell away in a silver blur, stretching out to catch them. Kagome whooped triumphantly." EAT OUR DUST LOSER!!"
Kagome pulled Ionn into a jog and waited for Inuyasha to catch up. His stallion looked depressed that he had lost, head low and ears hanging out at the sides.
" WOW. Cadoc's the fastest horse in my stable but that gelding of yours is unbelievable! How old is he?". Inuyasha gazed at the paint gelding in awe.
" I don't really know. He's older than me thats for sure. At least 26".
Inuyasha blinked. " That old. How can he run that fast?! A horse that old shouldn't be able to do that!"
" A well taken care of war horse. Well bred. Gets lots of exercise. Friendly. Since he is such a well trained horse and his temperament is suitable, people treat him with the best of care. And he's kept in shape and healthy."
He studied the gelding and then his own horse, trying to figure out how he could get Cadoc to live that long. He looked back at the gelding to find he was gone." Hey lady! Where ya goin'?"
KAgome stopped Ionn and turned around in her saddle. " Your not the kind of person I would like to spend time with so I'm going to go my separate way. Now if you would excuse me I have a few hours to spend alone". She turned back and clicked to Ionn who moved obediantly into a brisk walk.
" Hey wait girl! I'm lonely and I need some company".
" Then ask you horse because I'm not giving you any".
He rode up beside her and glared. " What do you got against me?"
" Oh well let me think. You're rude. You ask me things that you won't answer. Your ignorant and you just plain tick me off".
His eyes narrowed and a faint smile crept onto his lips. " Well, is Kouga as bad as me or is he only half as bad?"
Another vein popped on her head. She resisted the urge to slap him, keeping the earlier incident in mind. " Well I hate to admit it but your not even close to being Kouga's match in behaviour. He acts like a gentleman but his mask has a crack in it and I can see right through to his snotty personality".' Wow did that ever feel good'.
He chuckled. " Well thats what I like to hear. If you said he was much better behaved then me, I probably would have ripped you in half".
Kagome gasped and sidestepped Ionn away from him. " Cannibal".
" Its called sarcasm. I was just exaggerating".
" From your actions earlier, I won't think lightly about that".
" You have a point". Cadoc moved into a trot. " I can guess you want to get out of your husband's lands am I correct?"
Kagome trotted up beside him." Yes, that is what I'm planning to do".
" Well then come on. I'll take you there."
She looked at him critically, wondering why he was suddenly being nice to her.' I wonder if he has these mood swings regularly?'
The four travelled through the forest in silence. The woods were so quiet at this time of year. But, Inuyasha's dog senses were tingeling. He had a bad feeling. The woods were to quiet. Why couldn't he hear and ravens cawing or the bellow of a moose. He had caught a glimpse of deer running wildly off to his left, tails erect in the signal of danger. Something was wrong.
" Hey um, I thin-
Suddenly and woods around them exploded with noise. The barking of hunting hounds and the pounding of hooves. A deer leapt out infront of them and disappeared in the opposite direction. A hound scrambled after it but stopped as it noticed them. Its nose twitched and then it started to howl.
" Go now!"
Kagome wheeled Ionn and spurred him on with inuyasha right behind her.
The hound ran after them, barking loudly and attracting the pounding hooves in their direction. The noise around them grew louder and snapping twigs reached their ears.
" Dammit! I think Kouga's hunting hounds have found us".
" Ya think?" Inuyasha pumped his legs wildly, asking Cadoc for more speed. Kagome did the same but. the horse's didn't have the energy left to run full out. Cursing loudly, the two prayed that Kouga wouldn't find them.
But, luck wasn't on their side this time. Riders exploded out of the trees and surrounded them. A circle of surging horse's soon surrounded the pair, boxing them in. They pulled the horse's to a stop, not wanting to collide with the other riders.
They looked around at the people, grim faced and serious. There was no way out. A solid wall of horse's had formed around them, extinguishing any hopes of escape.
Out of the crowd strode a tall, coal black stallion. Kouga looked them over from the animal's back and nodded at Inuyasha." Its been a long time Inuyasha", he stated coolly.
" Thats 'LORD' to you asshole".
" My my, quite the foul tongue you have. I hope you haven't rubbed any of that onto my Kagome".
" HA, in your dreams. She has quite the vocabulary".
" How would you know mutt. Its not like you spend enough time with her to know".
" Or so you say".
Kagome flinched when she saw a spark dance in Kouga's blue eyes. " Don't go near my woman mutt face. She doesn't need to be around a slob like you".
" Oh really now. From what she told me, you're a lot worse".
His eyes flickered in Kagome's direction, giving her a warning glare.
" You must spend a lot of time with her to know that. But see there's one thing you don't get. She's taken!"
" Duh. But, she ain't happy with you. You're a snotty little jerk with no respect for her feelings. I thought you would have figured that out by now."
" Well I ain't the one who can't get a girl without picking up the scraps of others".
Inuyasha growled and Kagome frowned. ' I'll keep that insult in mind so I can get back at him later'.
" Better watch what you say Kouga. That could come back to haunt you".
" I don't take advice from half-breeds like you. Your not worth the brain space".
" You'd be lucky if you 'had' a brain", Inuyasha growled back.
Kouga glared daggers at him. " I have plenty more brain then you'll ever have mutt face".
"Yeah. You have a brain but you just don't use it much".
The wolf demon exploded at him. He leapt off his stallion's back and flew at Inuyasha. The half-demon jumped up to meet him and they fell to the ground in a wreathing mass of claws. They pulled apart and stood facing each other, lips curled upwards in menacing snarls.
" Get out of here half-breed, your not worth my time".
Inuyasha glared back and mounted his horse. " You haven't seen the last of me wolf"! With that he wheeled Cadoc around and galloped off in a cloud of frost.
Kouga turned away and mounted his stallion. HIS icy gaze turned to Kagome. " Come Kagome". The way in which he said it sent shivers down her spine. She followed him with her gaze locked on Ionn's neck. ' With the way his voice sounds, I have a feeling that I'm in trouble'.
" Take care fo the horse's Ginta and Hakkaku". Kouga handed the reins to his hench men. He then grabbed Kagome by the arm and pulled her into the castle. " You have a lot of explaining to do".
He opened the door to her room and pushed her in, closing the door behind him. He turned towards her, eyes holding no emotion. " Okay Kagome. Tell me why you were at the border of my lands with that mutt".
She glared back at him and answered with just as much venom. " I was trying to get away from you thats what. I was with Inuyasha because I happened to run into him and he proved to be much better company than you could ever be".
" I see". His face portrayed no hurt or anger. " Well then you seem to like him since you tell him about much a jerk I am".
" You are a jerk! I don't see how any woman could ever fall for you! Your so obnoxious and you have no care for my feelings! Of course I would tell him all that since he seems to hate you just as much. Or maybe even more".
His emotionless mask popped and his face darkened dramatically." What have I done to deserve that? I've provided the best for you and all I get is a string of insults. I don't deserve that".
" Your right. You don't deserve anything. Your such a jerk"!
" A jerk am I? I am very high class compared to that mutt face. I'm a very nice guy. Every-"
" I don't give a damn what anyone else thinks about you! They're not smart enough to see through your disguise! Your just a stuck up brat that gets everything he wants!"
" You get the same as well! I give you everything you want!"
" Oh yeah? You never let me stay here when 'you' have to go an important ball. You always say I have to go! You don't care about what I want to do! You just need to bring me so you look all caring and considerate! Well it doesn't work on me! I can see right through you.You force me to go for your benefit, not mine! Since when have you ever asked me about what I want to do? NEVER!"
Kouga was taken back by her temper. But then his own flared up in defence." Well sorry. I didn't mean to make you all popular and known throughout the kingdom!"
" Did I ask for you to do that? NO!!"
" Well then why did you marry me!?"
" I was forced to marry you stupid! Inuyasha's right, you don't have a brain!"
His glare intensified. " Damn you girl! I have a brain! You're the one who hasn't got one!". His hand came out and hit her across the face.
Kagome cried out and fell to the floor, clutching her injured cheek." Why the hell did you do that for?"
" To knock some sense into you". He glared down at her, fire dancing in his eyes.
" If you had any sense at all you'd be able to see your true personality and discover thats your not as nice a guy as you'd hoped".
He snarled and knelt down to her level." You are not to leave the castle grounds. If I find you wandering around in the forest, you'd wish you'd never met me".
Kagome spit into his face. " I already wish I hadn't met you".
He stood up and wiped a hand across his face." Good day Kagome". He spun on his heel and stormed out the door, slamming it behind him.
Kagome sat on the floor, her cheek already starting to bruise. ' Damn him. Why can't he just leave ma alone for a few years? I wish I could just disappear. I've got to get out of here.' Tears started to run down her cheeks. ' Mom, what did you do?'
(a/n):: Done!!!!! Boy was that a long chap!!!!! It took forever to write. But hey! The longer the better!!!! So what should I do for the next chap? Tell me in your reviews!!! Thanks a million!!!!! Ja NE!!!! and don't forget to give me feed back in your reviews cuz I need to know!!!! l8tr!
And this fic is in medieval Europe just so ya know. .
