-LAST TIME ON Beast and the Beauty-

Kagome saw that Inuyasha suddenly let go of her hand and dropped the ring, making her look up at the odd sound to see Koga standing on top of Inuyasha who began to growl ferociously.

Koga crossed his arms and said with a smirk, "Hey, Kagome, what's up?"

She shrugged, still not really sure what to make of this, "Oh, you know, getting married and all. Not that big of a deal."

- Beast and the Beauty CH.7 New Foes that are yet to Come -

Inuyasha began to growl even louder. Who was this punk? And how did Kagome know him?

"How did you find me?" Kagome asked.

"I followed your scent," Koga said matter-of-factly.

"Miroku," Sango whispered to her husband, "that's your cue."

He looked at her with the best puppy dog face he could muster, "Aw! But Sango, do I have to?"

"Yes," his wife hissed, jabbing him in the ribs, hoping that that would give him more of an urgency to take action.

It worked.

"Right," he whispered back. Standing up he announced, "Welcome, sir. We are honored to have yet, another guest to join our wedding."

"WEDDING?!" Koga roared. He shot a narrowed glance at Inuyasha then Kagome. "You're marrying this half-breed? After I had asked you to marry me?"

Kagome flinched.

Inuyasha began to shake in furry and swung his hand around, bearing his claws at whoever may be in their way, which was, mainly Koga. The wolf demon jumped back, completely unharmed. Well, his top wasn't so lucky, as it now hung half off of his body, in shreds.

The half dog demon jumped to his feet. "Just who in the bloody heavens are you?"

The, now half naked (thanks to Inuyasha), wolf smirked, as he crossed his muscular arms. "Name's Koga. The leader of the Northern Wolf Tribe." (I have no idea which tribe it actually is, so please don't bite my head off.)

"Koga, is it?"

"And who are you?"

Inuyasha inspected his claw like nails, "Why should I even waist my breath on a peasant like you?" He pushed back some of his silver-white hair, "Well," he said, thoughtfully, "I suppose I could tell you." Inuyasha held up his left hand and punched it with his right fist, making a terrible popping and cracking sound, from his knuckles. "My name is Inuyasha! Prince of the Eastern Kingdom! And rightful heir to the throne."

Koga, without saying anything else, threw a punch straight for the said prince.

Inuyasha snorted at such a stupid attack and jumped behind the demon, about the strike him, but Kagome was quick to yell-

"Koga, please, be careful!" Kagome yelled to the her friend.

-making Inuyasha freeze as he looked at her in shock. What kind of fiancé stands on the enemy's side?

Koga slowly walked over to her, ignoring the half demon prince, entirely, and took her small hands, "Oh, my dear, dear Kagome, you have no idea how happy I am to see you."

Inuyasha saw this and yelled, "Guards!" A good amount of men ran forward and seized Koga, allowing Inuyasha to stand up and brushed the dirt off of him. "Take this wolf-boy to the prisons."

One of the men nodded, "Right. Let's go men!"

Kagome watched all of this with wide eyes. Inuyasha began to follow after them, planning to give Koga good beating for interrupting his wedding.

"Wait!" Kagome yelled as she took Inuyasha's arm.

"What is it?" He asked, slightly annoyed.

"Please," Kagome begged, "don't hurt him. He's my friend from my village."

Inuyasha felt a tick begin in his eyebrow, "You aren't the least bit mad?! That lover-boy, just ruined our wedding!"

Kagome was silent as she looked down at the ground.

Inuyasha whipped his arm away from her grasp. "Now, I'm going to go take care of him, then we can continue on with our wedding, okay?"

"Just, please, don't hurt him, too bad." Kagome pleaded.

Inuyasha was actually thinking about her request. "Fine, I'll show the punk some mercy."

Kagome felt somewhat relieved to hear him say that.

Somewhat.

Koga grunted as he flew to the ground. Inuyasha brought his foot up, planning to crush him in the head, but purposefully missed, completely obliterating the stone floor, instead. "I'd kill you, but I promised a certain miko that I'd spare you."

Koga spit at Inuyasha's feet. "Figures she would do that. She loves me."

"Dream on wolf-turd," Inuyasha yelled as she placed his foot on Koga's face. "Kagome is mine, do you understand? She's mine! My woman and soon to be my mate! You can't have her! She's my property, understood?!"

Koga began to chuckle, "No, she's not. Not with that way of thinking. She'll never fall for you. I tried that before she didn't even want to speak to me when I tried to claim her forcefully. And besides, you can't have everything that you want, spoiled brat."

Inuyasha took his foot off of Koga.

"How do you think she feels if she's being forced into this marriage? She'll never love you, half-breed."

Inuyasha began to shake out of pure anger. He was about to crush Koga's head but he suddenly heard a dainty voice somewhere off in the castle call his name.

"Inuyasha!" It was Kagome's voice.

"Miroku," Inuyasha demanded.

"Yes, Master?"

"Take this pathetic excuse for a canine and get him out of my castle!"

"Yes, Master," Miroku bowed as Inuyasha, angrily, stomped out of the room.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome called again. Where was he? She really needed to speak with him and Koga. She really needed to clarify things. Kagome inhaled for another call, "Inu-"

"What do you want?"

Kagome whipped around to look at the prince that stood right behind her. "Oh, um… can I speak with Koga?"

"No," was his simple answer as he crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, closing his eyes.

"But… But I," Kagome tried.

Inuyasha cracked open an eye to lazily look at her, "'But I', what?"

Kagome exhaled through her nose, "Well, I just wanted him to tell my Mama and little brother that I was okay. They must be worried."

Inuyasha opened both of his eyes to admonish her, "You have a family?"

Kagome nodded, slowly, "Yes, I use to have a Grandfather, too, but…" Her eyes grew larger as she looked down at the ground.

Inuyasha looked at her with sympathizing eyes. "Kagome, I…"

Kagome quickly turned around, not even bothering to look back at him, "I'm going to bed," and then she ran off, without another word.

"Kagome, wait-" Inuyasha called, as he reached out for her, but felt a hand on his own shoulder. The half demon turned around.

Miroku looked ahead of him, and not at the prince, "Give her some space, right now."

Inuyasha looked back at the ground where Kagome's feet were just a few moments ago. His golden eyes narrowed as he tried to concentrate on one specific spot on the wooden floor.

There, right in front of him, was a big, fat, shiny, tear.

Koga splashed some cold water on his face, trying to numb the pain emitting from his black eye and bloody lip.

He cursed the half bread multiple times.

A chuckle echoed through the forest, "Do you wish for revenge against the man who stole your woman?"

"Who said that?!" Koga stood up, quickly, and whipped around.

A man, in a baboon fur cloak and baboon mask, crouched down asked, "Inuyasha… You must loath him, do you not? I have a special offer for you. Something that can help you win back your woman. You want that, don't you?"

Koga felt his mouth go dry, "I can… Win back… Kagome?"

"My, Lord! My Lord! Why are we going this way?" A rather small green ogre asked his tall master.

"Jaken," spoke his lord, "Shut up, won't you."

"Y-yes, my Lord!"

A pair of thin, grim lips slowly turned into an infamous smile, "I think that it's time for me to pay my little brother a visit."
