Oy! Mesa back with another chap! Thanks to the people who reviewed on the last chap! I really appreciated it - Anywho, here's chap 9!
Disclaimer: I live on this planet and only a few precious things actually belong to me out of the many things I could own. Inuyasha sadly, is not mine...
Narrow Escape
The day was fresh and clear. The smells of cooking porridge and roasting chestnuts wafted through the manor. Maids sung cheerfully as they worked, mending curtains and dusting rooms.
Outside, the horse's pranced in their paddocks, winter coats thick and shaggy. A fog covered the ground, leaving disfigured and mangled images. The air was frozen and frost covered everything, leaving the manor in a thin blanket of glistening white.
Kagome sighed and drew back the curtain, light pouring in and brightening her gloomy room. Her mood was sour and she was ready to bite any unsuspecting person's head off( As you can guess, all thanks to that stupid, Kouga .)
She pulled on a simple silver dress, wanting to blend in with the day if she decided to escape today. The sleeves went down the her knuckles, rippling out in a mass that went down to her knees. It was smug around her stomach but frilled out at the waist so she had freedom to move any which way .
' Today I hope I can escape from my " dear" husband'.
Kagome glided out of her room, deciding to go the opposite way. ' Kouga just might be in the common room and I wouldn't want to run into him. He'll skin me alive......Nasty thought'.
She shuddered at the image. ' Me...lying on the ground...skinless. He would do it too, the baka'.
The gruff voice of a very angry someone floated to her ears.
" Why me?".
Kagome opened a random door and shot in, locking it after her.
" What are you doing in here milady?"
She spun around to find Yuka, dusting the mantle of the fireplace. " Your not suppose to be in the common room".
" Yuka. Hide me please! Kouga's coming, I don't want him to find me, he'll rip me to shreds!".
" Tell me after what this is all about but okay".
The maid rushed Kagome behind a high backed chair that sat near a window that overlooked the courtyard.
" This is the best place I can offer you now so be quiet and don't move".
Kagome nodded and Yuka rushed back to the mantle piece, just as Kouga crunched through the door.
" Why the hell did you lock this girl?!", he thundered.
" S-sorry m-milord. I locked it so no one would come in. So-so they wouldn't get it all dirty again", Yuka stammered.
" Lame excuse! Now I have to get a new door! I'm surrounded by idiots! Get out girl OUT!".
He chased the frightened maid out of the room, foam starting to show at the corners of his mouth. " Stupid fucking idiot."
" Oh pah-leeze. You're the idiot". Kagome clamped a hand over her mouth a little to late.
Kouga's ears pricked at the familair voice. ' Damn it. I'm so stressed, I can't think right. Now I notice her scent. Stupid girl'.
" Kagome you bitch get out of there". He stormed over to the chair and pulled her out by her hair. " What do you think your doing in here? I told you your not allowed in here!".
She groaned in pain. ' Ouch. Does he know how much this hurts?!' "Lemme go Kouga!".
" Huh. Do you think any self respecting demon would let a brat like you slip from his grasp? I'm not that stupid".
" Your pretty stupid compared to me!".
" Why you little bitch! I outta do you in right here and now".
Kagome clawed at his hand, trying to free her hair from his grasp. ' I can't feel my head anymore'. " Go ahead and kill me, you'll just have to face the wrath of my family. What good would it do you?".
" Kagome dear, you have a lot to learn. I'm a demon remember. I can take on your whole family and not get a scratch. Don't worry though my dove, it'll just be nice and quick, so I can get it over and done with!".
" You sick pee brain! Your own wife! Do you remember how happy you where when my family agreed for me to be married off by some respected wolf demon? You where overjoyed! Now, you smirk at the thought of killing me! How utterly sick! I-I wish I'd never said 'I do'!. Your such a pig".
His smirk broadened across his handsome face. " Oh pah-leeze Kagome. I married you just so I could fit everything together. Your just a tool, for my plans. Once this is all over, you'll be long gone. Drowned in a river or something. All I'll do is laugh as you suffer. Just to get back at all those times you said I die right before your eyes. Well, the jokes on you sweetheart!"
He started to laugh, cackling evilly at the sick humour. " You should see the look on your face! Its priceless!"
His grip on her hair loosened slightly. That was all she needed. " Well jerk, right now, you should be the one screaming!"
Kagome brought her knee up and hit him where it hurts most. He yelped in pain and dropped her, falling to the ground, clutching his groin.
" That'll show ya!"
Kagome bounded out the door and sprinted down the hall, not wanting to stay for the award on her 'grand' escape .
She shot into her room and gathered her things, taking a bow and arrow from under her bed that she had smuggled out of the weapons yard. She wrapped on her silver cloak then dashed out of the room, heading for the kitchen door.
" Milady, master Kouga is lookin-
" Never mind! Just tell him I'm busy and I won't be answering for a while!"
" Milady?!"
Kagome dashed into the stable and grabbed a bridle and saddle. She dropped the tack near the main field and dashed onto the icy grass, whistling for that certain paint gelding. He cantered over a ridge and came to a stop near her side, ears pricked and eyes bright in the cold.
" Come on boy, we need to hurry".
Ionn dipped his head and opened his mouth for the bit, fur starting to bristle.
He suddenly snorted and did a half-rear.
Kagome finished doing up the buckles then reached for the saddle when she spotted a wolf demon sprint into the stable.
" Oh damn!".
Using all of her strength, Kagome vaulted onto the tall horse's back and gave hin a kick. Ionn exploded into a gallop, just as Kouga exploded into the field. " Come back here bitch!!"
" Giddy up boy GO!" Kagome whooped as loud as she could, scaring Ionn into running faster.
His strides came faster and faster, sending up a fine cloud of misty frost. The gelding's body stretched out across the ground, his neck pumping up and down.
Still, Kouga was gaining. Being a demon he could outrun a horse any day.
" You won't escape wench! You'll die right here and now!"
He was almost right beside her. A evil grin spread across his face as he pulled up, knuckles cracking.
Kagome slapped her reins and kicked the horse with all her might but he couldn't go any faster. It was hopeless. ' What a wonderful way to die'.
Kouga leap at her, digging his claws deep into her calf. He pulled at her, laughing in pure joy as she screamed in pain.
She began to slide off the gelding, strength dwindling as burning pain shot through her leg. She clawed at his mane and clutched what few strands of hair she could in a death grip.
The wolf demon yanked harder and she slide down further, half hanging off the running horse.
Ionn heard Kagome's painful screams, he felt her body weakening. He didn't want to lose her. Not a girl so kind as she. She was the only one who gave him attention. Now he was about to return the favour.
The old war horse spun to face kouga in mid-gallop and lashed out with his forelegs, something that had been taught to him years ago.
This caught Kouga totally by surprise and he went flying, stunned.
Ionn went after him again, teeth bared. He reared over the dazed demon, getting ready to deliver the final blow.
Kouga blinked and looked up at the under belly of Ionn. ' Stupid horse. Don't ever expose your weak spot'. He shot up and aimed a slash at the horse's belly, smiling at his already won battle. At least that's what he thought.
Seeing the demon crack his knuckles, Ionn went down, crashing his hooves into Kouga's exposed face.
He fell back, blood pouring from his broken nose. A painful gasp escaped his lips and then he was silent, unconscious.
Kagome stared through blurry eyes at the figure, blood pooling around his head. She couldn't believe what she had just saw. Ionn lashing out in full battle fury. His war days had ended at least a decade ago. She never thought he would have had it in him to bring back that stallion like energy.
Wincing through her pain, she nudged Ionn into a slow gallop. She then knotted the reins and lay her head on his neck, encircling it with her arms. All she had to do was stay on until he found a safe place to rest.
Done! So, how did you pplz like the chap? As you can see, I'm bashing Kouga just as I said I would. He's got a broken nose and a concussion! Ha! Serves him right! Sorry, I'm just hyper right now!
So, what did ya think of the chap? Good, bad....can't wait for the next one? I sure can't wait to write it!
Anywho, REVIEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! as usual
