Hey! I'm back. Whoa. Was I ever surprised to see how many reviews I got on chapter six alone. The opinions were great! Long too! Anywho, here are my answers to the people who reviewed on chapter six:
To Safriel: Glad you loved the long chapter! I'm so pleased that you keep saying great chap or please continue! It really makes my day!
To Saiyan under cover: Yeah, I really loath Kouga as well. He doesn't deserve Kagome at all. Inu-chan does. Oh well. Can't stop anything about that in the show but, I can in my fic. And I promise you that Kouga will die! I shall also be as cruel as an author can be to her characters! MWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
TO Kotori Susayski: Yes sigh poor Kagome. Such a brave girl though.
To Lisa Eam: Thanks for that!! I will continue! Promise! Since I get such wonderful feed back, why shouldn't I?
To AmericanStarryKnight89: Thanks. Your hunch was correct! I do love horses and I do ride them! I'm sorry about Kouga's horse. The thing is though, black suites evil people. I couldn't have put him on a white horse! But, not to worry, this isn't an evil horse and he will belong to Kagome and Inuyasha sometime...I won't tell you when though.
To Moonyasha: Great! You love the fic and you want me to update! Gotcha!!
To hanyou-elf:: Inuyasha won't come storming through the gates just yet but he will in later chapters. What happened between Inuyasha and Kouga is a secret until I reveal it in a later chapter. Their hate for each other is kinda like the anime and manga except much MUCH deeper. You'll find out more in the chapters to come!!.
To syncron: Thanks.....I know Inuyasha would never run away from Kouga in battle but he's just bottling his rage until the right moment comes. Kinda like a spring being coiled up. In a later chapter Inu will pop and Kouga will die. I broke a rule yes but, I will make it up to you.
To FieryDemonFox:: I just love it when people say that! It really makes me happy!.
To The Shadows:: Wow you really just like letting it out O.O. Anywho, it doesn't make him look stupid to me? I think avoiding the question suites him. About the grammar....I'm not the best at grammar and spelling I do pretty well on if I re-read my work. I do miss somethings but don't we all. We all make mistakes right? Anywho, one of my friends asked to be my beta-reader and she is now so you can relax about it. She's much better than me and plus I read it over as well so the mistakes should become a very rare species. If you see any just tell me and I'll try harder. I really do try to add lots of detail without going off topic. That's what usually happens but, I will do your bidding. Everything seems well described to me but then again I don't see through your eyes and you have a different perspective. It's okay if your review sounded harsh, I understand. I asked for opinion and I got it! Thanks for pointing these things out to me!.
To Kouga"seagleforever:: So glad that you like my fic. I'm super happy that you chose this fic over your fav types to read! I will update! I usually update within 2-5 days so you won't have to wait long!!
To Ryngrl5:: I treasure that review!!! You really think it's hilarious?? Glad to hear it. I will keep your review with me to my grave because It gives me much inspiration!!!
:: Okay now time for the real story. Thanks pplz for all the reviews! I really appreciated the feedback. Anywho, here's chapter 7!
Eavesdropping
The maid finished cleaning Kagome's wound and dabbed it with a nasty smelling poultice. "That should keep the swelling down."
"Thank-you," Kagome smiled as best she could without grimacing.
"I don't mean to be rude miss but, what did Kouga do to you?"
She looked at the maid's smooth face and smiled again. "He hit me because I had done something that he didn't want me too."
The maid gasped. "Why in the world would he do such a thing? What a fool he is to be messing up your pretty face. He really should be punished for that."
The raven haired girl blushed. "I agree. The next time I have a chance, I'll get him good."
"You go girl."
Kagome smiled at her, chocolate eyes showing a spark of happiness. "Thanks Ayumi."
"Anytime milady." The wavy haired girl bowed then left the room, taking her medical kit.
Kagome sat down and sighed. 'I don't know how much more of this I can take. Kouga's up to something, I just know it. He didn't have to get so worked up about me talking to another guy.'' Do you really think that's what he got so mad about?'' She frowned. 'That's right. Why would he get so worked up over me just talking with Inuyasha, I don't get it.' Her head swam with all these possibilities.
"First though, he deserves a good punch in the nose."
She quietly opened the door and crept out. Kagome could have sworn a tumble weed blew by her since it was so empty. Distant calls and bangs could be heard on the lower levels of the castle and an occasional scream of fury. The melodic voices of maids drifted into her ears and the impatient whinny of a horse.
Sure that everything was okay, Kagome silently shut the heavy oak door and crept off down the corridor, sticking to the left so she could easily hide in a room if she heard anyone coming.
The loud thong of a bell drifted through the rafters, causing the cool stone wall to vibrate beneath her fingers.
'Good. An hour till tea. I should be able to get my revenge in the time I have.'
Keeping close to the wall, Kagome crept along, listening for any clue as to what might be happening. As she neared a split in the passage, a shout reached her ears." Hakkaku come on you lazy turf! Kouga will be angry if we don't hurry up!"
"Coming! Why do you have to be so pushy! You're an ass you know that!"
"How dare you! You were the one who was doddering!"
The sound of running foot steps reached her ears and Kagome looked frantically around for a door to dash into. The closest one wasn't close enough and she didn't have very much time.
Sucking in her stomach, she pressed herself into a dark corner, hoping that the two demons wouldn't see her.
Two wolf demons scampered down the opposite passage, cursing and striking at each other. They turned right and ran off, not taking any notice to her scent.
She heard another shout and then an urgent call. "Please masters, you must go to Kouga. He is waiting for you in the common room. He is in a most foul mood and you best be behaved or else you might be in for a surprise. Now go!"
The running footsteps faded into the recesses of the castle, followed by scurrying and the swish of a dress. Then everything was quiet.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Kagome peeked out to see if anyone was in sight. No one. She stepped into the right passage and hurried down it, curious as to what all the commotion was about and smirking at her chance to eavesdrop.
'I couldn't have hoped for a better chance.'
She swished her green dress as she want along, anger simmering at the idiotic wolf demon who was supposed to be her dear husband. She went quickly, eager to hear what Kouga had summoned his hench men for.
"Ginta, Hakkaku! Get in here right now you idiots," an agitated Kouga hissed. His ponytail had fallen out and his silky black hair cascaded down his back. His eyes were weary and he looked ready to kill. The two weaker demons didn't dare disobey him in this state.
"What ails you master?", they both asked in unison.
"Close the door and sit down," was his tired reply.
Ginta slammed the door and sat down in a high backed chair near Kouga. They both stared expectantly at their Lord, not even thinking about pushing him.
The wolf demon's icy blue eyes turned on them and they shuddered under his hard stare. "Do you two remember Inuyasha?"
"You mean the Lord who rules over the western realm?" Hakkaku asked.
"Yes, that one," Kouga answered, scowling at the thought of the half-demon.
"I don't see what's so bad about him. He seem like a really ni-"
Kouga cut Ginta off with a dangerous snarl. "He's not what you think! I've never liked him. He's a murderer and a cheater. After what he did to my father, I'll never think of him any other way. And that better be the same with you or you'll never see the light of day AGAIN!"
Both demons looked at each other, eyes wide in fright and astonishment. 'Inuyasha isn't all that bad,' they both thought.
"LOOK at me you two!"
They looked into Kouga's now violent blue eyes. "You two know too much about what happened between me and him. You're lucky I haven't murdered you already for your knowledge," the Lord hissed through gritted teeth.
Ginta and Hakkaku gulped and stared down at the floor. "Sorry master," they mumbled.
"I would hope so".
Silence filled the room. Outside the door, a faint mumble could be heard, followed by a gasp then quiet. Kouga didn't seem to hear.
"He's out to get me, I just know it. He's out for revenge. I have to act quickly."
"With your plans milord?" Ginta asked cautiously.
"Yes, I have to act know or he'll surely kill me. I just know that's what he's planning to do and, he's getting all this shit into Kagome's head. If he does anything more my plan won't work at all. She can't leave the manor. Keep her where we can keep an eye on her."
The two wolf demons nodded, each thinking the same thing. 'We have to stop this.'
Outside, Kagome gasped at the anger in Kouga's voice. "You two know too much about what happened between me and him. You're lucky I haven't murdered you already for your knowledge."
Then only silence could be heard beyond the door. She was eager to hear more about what happened between Kouga and Inuyasha.
She heard a mumble and then a gruff reply then, Kouga spoke up. "He's out to get me, I just know it. He's out for revenge. I have to act quickly."
"With your plans milord?" Ginta asked cautiously.
"Yes," Kouga replied. "I have to act now or else he'll surely kill me. I just know that's what he's planning to do and, he's getting all this shit into Kagome's head, if he does anything more, my plan won't work at all. She can't leave the manor. Keep her where we can keep an eye on her."
She puffed up like a chicken. How dare he say that! Inuyasha isn't getting shit into my head! He's telling me sense.' "Well at least he has the sense to say you're a bastard". She clapped a hand over her mouth to late.
The door flew open, revealing Kouga. Her anger was suddenly replaced with fear. His hair had fallen out of its high ponytail and now lay in a tangled mess down his back. His icy blue eyes held a good amount of simmering anger, some starting to spill when his gaze turned to her.
"WENCH! Were you listening the whole time?" he bellowed.
"Idiot, bastard, jerk!"
His eyes narrowed and he smirked. "Well, you look afraid so why do I even bother."
Kagome frowned, working up the courage to shout at him. "Okay, so what now? I'm part of your plans to get rid of The Almighty Lord Inuyasha? What do I have to do with it?"
"That is for me to know and you to find out."
"Oh, so now I can't tune in to what's going on? You know, I don't even see how any other woman could think you're a gentleman, your NOT!"
"Okay, now that you've figured out that appearances can be deceiving, why don't you just buzz off?"
"NO Kouga, I won't back off. Just because you're a demon doesn't mean that you can boss me around. I do have a will of my own and I want to know what this is all about."
A flash of pain showed in his eyes and then it was gone. "You'll know soon enough girl, now leave!".
"I won't leave! I have a right to know!"
He sighed and cracked his knuckles. "Look Kagome, I don't want to make you move by force but if you don't listen to me, I will."
She stood her ground, a firm look on her face. "I want to know Kouga."
" ell you'll have to wait because I'm not IN THE MOOD TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW!" he yelled it out at the end. His hand whipped down and came into contact with her stomach, knocking the breath out of her.
Kagome staggered backward, gasping for air and he came at her again, locking his hands around her throat.
Coughing and pulling at his hands, Kagome fought but, to no avail. He was just too strong for her. 'Jackass, you'll pay for doing this to me,' was all she thought before losing consciousness.
(A/N): Done!!! sorry it took me so long to update. I had so much homework last week and I didn't have time to write. Anywho, hope you guys are happy!
