Whoo! another update! Well let me start off by saying i apologize for being absent so long. But to all my reviewers who have stuck with me, you rock!

Anyways, i got into a bit of trouble at school and a fender bender about a week after so ive been grounded for WEEKS. That and school work have kept me from avidly posting. But im posting now :D (though i should be studying for my final later today ^^U) Anywho. Here is another installment of The Ninja and His Yokai! be warned, the end of this chapter is the beginning of something special. Underage readers really shouldnt read it. but since i said that, i know youre going to read it anyways. =p so here you go!


Kiba was stunned by her sudden confession, it was the last thing he expected to hear from her tonight.

But he had to admit, "I love you too" as he leaned down to capture her lips again.

Kagome kissed him back, savoring the feeling of electricity coursing through her veins. Suddenly she stiffened.

"Whats wrong Kagome?" Kiba asked, suddenly aware of her distress.

"It's him, he's here…" she whispered.

"Who? Who's here Kagome?" Kiba asked, starting to panick that Sesshoumaru may have returned.

"Inuyasha. Inuyasha has found us…" she trailed off almost too quiet for Kiba to hear.

Suddenly Kagome found herself being carried bridal style through the village, the scenery rushing by too fast for even her demon sight to make out. She was suddenly aware they had stopped and were back in Kiba's house. Sango was shocked to hear them suddenly rush through the door, she then noticed a very pale and terrified Kagome in the arms of Kiba.

"What happened to her!?" Sango shouted, frantic.

"She said he's almost here, that Inubaka guy." Kiba explained in a rush.

"WHAT?!" Sango exclaimed. She suddenly turned to Kagome.

"How far?" she asked, pulling off her clothes to reveal her taija outfit and running to grab Hiraikotsu and Kirara.

"Less than two minutes, come on! We have to stop him before he comes and destroys the village!" Kagome shouted and ran out the door.

Kiba sprang into action, protecting his home his number one priority right now. He whistled a familiar tune, a cue between the rookie nine that he knew Naruto's demon hearing would pick up.

Kiba noticed Akamaru snarling at the back door, waiting patiently for Kiba. Kagome's two pups doing the same and clawing at the glass door, begging to be let out to fight with their comrades. Kiba grabbed his shiruken and kunai packs and strapped them on as Naruto burst through the front door.

"Kiba, what's wrong? I sense a strong presence coming and you whistled?!" He asked in a rush.

"Kagome's comrade from the far west is here and looking for her, hes gonna destroy the village if we don't hurry and stop him!" Kiba shouted as the pair made their way through the back door at full speed. Kiba transformed into his demon self and shot past Akamaru, the pups, and Naruto. Naruto transformed as well, seeing as how Kiba already did, and shot off too. The pair reached the girls in 12 seconds flat, just as Inuyasha was coming into view. Kiba sniffed the air, he sensed more than just one person coming their way. He turned to Kagome. "wolf?" he huffed in ookami. Kagome's eyes widened. "You sense a wolf?" she squeaked.

Kiba nodded his large wolfy head.

"Sango, Koga's coming too!" she said, panicking.

"great, just what we need. Two hotheads destroying the village and each other. Kiba, prepare yourself. Both of them are trying to lay claims on Kagome." She warned.

Kibas eyes were wide as saucers, he snarled a feral and guttural snarl. No one was going to lay claims on his Kagome. Naruto just stayed to the back, sensing Kibas immense anger. Kiba suddenly stepped in front of Kagome and took a very protective stance. His hair bristling, and fangs gleaming in the moonlight. Naruto joined him on Kibas other side, taking the same stance in front of Kagome. He would protect his best friends intended at any cost. Inuyasha and Koga came to a halt in front of the two huge demons.

"What's this? Two runt demons? Get outta the way ya bastards." Inuyasha yelled.

Both demons snapped their jaws at him.

"Ive fought the great Sesshoumaru. You don't scare me you worthless demons." Inuyasha laughed.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted.

"Kagome! Get out here now!" Inuyasha commanded.

"That's no way to treat my woman!" Koga snapped.

"YOUR woman?" Inuyasha laughed harder. "She don't want no worthless mangy flea-bitten wolf."

Kiba swiped at Inuyasha and Koga. How dare they talk about her like shes property!

The two moved just in time to dodge Kibas giant paw.

"Hey! Move outta the way ya giant jerk!" Inuyasha barked as he pulled out Tetsuiaga.

Kiba grabbed the transformed sword in his jaws and flung it into the distance. Inuyashas eyes widened, Kiba was pretty damn powerful.

Kibas eyes started to glow red, his aura flaring wildly and unchecked. He flung his giant paw out and swiped the hanyou an ookami in front of him. Naruto hung back, acting as an anchor for the two girls on his side trying not to be blown away. Kirara was on the other side of the girls, acting as a wall to keep them there. Akamaru suddenly jumped over the small group with a guttural snarl, a pup on either side of him. Inuyasha and Koga looked at each other and back to the dog and wolves in front of them. Suddenly they heard a shriek from none other than Kagome.

"Kiba! Stop! Please! Don't hurt them!" she yelled.

As if he had subjugation beads he sat, but didn't stop snarling. His aura began to settle and Kagome walked in between him and the other two demons.

"Inuyasha, why are you here? Why did you bring Koga?" she asked, tears streaming down her face.

"I came to get you Kagome, to go back to our lands where we belong. And this mangy wolf followed me. Something about 'my woman'." He answered.

"Im not going back Inuyasha. This is my home now. I have Sango and Shippo and kiba. And I even have Naruto and my two ninja wolves. Even Akamaru. I can't leave. This is where I belong now." She said.

Inuyasha's ears drooped as he stared at the ground. "come on Kags…" he tried.

"No Inuyasha. This is my new home now. No more running in fear, no more hiding. This is where I belong." She said.

"what about sesshoumaru?" Koga asked.

"He is dead" she stated simply.

"okay" inyasha said downcast. He could see there was no changing her mind now. "lets go wolf."

Koga followed quietly, depressed that his woman loved another. It was wolf way, she loved someone other than him and he wasn't going to fight her feelings. The hanyou and the ookami began the trek back to their homelands; both had to go back to rule.

Kiba looked at Kagome, sensing she was still upset that she had to turn down her two friends. He walked over and snuffed into her hair, earning a giggle. He downsized himself and nuzzled her neck. His cold wet nose causing Kagome to 'eep' and hug his neck.

"So theyre gone for good? You're staying here?" sango ventured.

Kagome nodded. "I think I found my place." She smiled.

"Well, then I think I should go." Sango smiled. "I need to get back to that monk. No telling how many women he has beating him now." She giggled.

Kagomes smile turned to a grin. "such a lecher."

Sango nodded in agreement. "Well, goodbye Kagome. We'll come visit sometime!" she said as she mounted Kirara. Kagome petted the Neko and backed up as she began to take flight. Sango waved to her friends. Naruto yowled in kitsune, Kiba howled, and kagome waved back until they could no longer see Sango and Kirara. Both boys shifted back to human.

"Well that was interesting." Naruto said.

"Yeah." Kiba agreed. Some jealousy still showing in his voice.

"Well I'm gonna get home to Hinata. I'm sure shes worried after I ran out like that." He grinned sheepishly. "Bye guys!" he shouted a he waved and ran towards the village.

Kagome looked up at Kiba who was staring back at her. She moved a step closer and Kiba pulled her tight against him. Kagome kissed him softly, Kiba kissed back with ferocity and fire. Their kisses became heated as Kiba traced her bottom lip, begging for entrance. She granted it to him and he gladly explored her mouth. Kagome gasped as she felt something hard press against her abdomen. Kiba smirked at her, which Kagome found intensely sexy. She nuzzled his neck and he purred in her ear. He moved down slowly and kissed her neck, softly at first but gaining ferocity as he went down. Kagome moaned quietly in his neck, her fangs teasingly grazing against his skin. Deciding it was too much, Kiba picked up Kagome and carried her back to his room and laid her gently on the bed.
