A/N: Thanks to all my lovelies!

ThisIsMeSmiling: I'm glad you found something humorous in last chapter—I really thought it ran flat, but then I've been jacked up on Benadryl for the past few weeks. Yeah, Kouga is out of control—he needs to get his ass kicked in a funny way I think. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Midoriko-sama: Yeah, I know, Kouga shouldn't be able to pull the shit he is. I kind of address that in this chapter, but honestly Kouga's being stupid and committing crimes.

A/N: Sorry this took so long to get out, but everything has been crazy and the “how” of pulling off this chapter was really tricky for me. I hope you like it and I'll try to get the next one out sooner. Generally speaking, reviews do help me write more and quicker! I am looking for a beta for this story if anyone is interested—someone who is good at grammar, spelling, and making sure I make sense! Thanks to everyone who read and reviewed and favorited. I wanted to comment on more reviews, but I am literally walking out the door as I'm posting this!

Chapter 4

Ayame tapped her claws on the arm of her sofa.

She had been in a foul mood since she left Kouga's, and the youkai was coming to the realization that she wasn't angry with Kouga for cheating on her.

No, she was unsettled because he had cheated on her and she wasn't going to be the one who punished him. She had left him in the hands of the elders, and the more she thought about it the more Ayame realized that all they were going to give her former fiancée was a slap on the wrist.

Sure, they would make Kouga sweat, but it would all be idle threats. To them, Kouga might have been doing something dishonorable, but still within the bounds of reasonable male behavior. For all Ayame knew, once he was done being “punished” and Kouga's whore was dead, the elders would demand she accept Kouga again.

No, Ayame did not want Kouga to sweat. She wanted him to bleed. That way she would not have to go through this again.

Picking up her purse, Ayame left her apartment, intent on finding Kouga and giving him what he deserved. And while she was at it, she would get his little bitch too.

Inuyasha stared out the back window of his father's car, his eyes glued on the house where his family had lived all his young life. It was also where he had spent a lot of time with Kagome.

Where they had lost their virginities to one another just a week before.

Inuyasha fingered the buttons on his cell phone yet again. He had been trying to think of how to tell Kagome he was moving, but noting came to mind. He didn't want to leave her!

And more than that, the hanyou did not think he could bear to hear the sound of disappointment in Kagome's voice when he told her he was going to be living across the country. He just didn't want to hurt her like that; he was supposed to protect her. And more than that, what if she didn't care?

`But what's going to happen when you're not in school? I think she'll notice.'

He brushed off the thought, trying not to think about Kagome's sadness—praying his mind would just block out the image of her tears.

He could practically smell them.

“Inuyasha?” His mother's voice came from the front seat. “Are you crying dear?”

Inuyasha scrubbed the wetness from his face and the car drove on.

XXXXXXXXXX

She must have nodded off again because Kagome found herself waking to the sound of the room's door opening.

Great. Let me guess. Kouga and a fish sandwich??? All my dreams have at last come true!

Kagome did not raise her head, but instead waited for her ex to come in a try to choke her with another aquatic sammie delight. Someone stepped alongside her chair, and for an instant Kagome felt a hand on her shoulder. “She's still asleep! Bring it in!” Came a hissed whisper.

Then another person stepped into the room, this one carrying something wrapped in plastic—Kagome could hear it rustling and dragging on the ground.

What are these damn wolves up to now?

Kagome debated about opening her eyes to find out was going on, but decided she would wait and see when they left so as not to draw unwanted attention to herself. The less time the demons were in the room, the faster she could go back to her oh-so-comfortable nap.

“It is such a beautiful gown!” A female voice exclaimed and there was the distinct sound of a plastic bag moving around.

Oh shit. Kagome groaned inside her head. Are they talking about my wedding dress?

She couldn't help but raise her eyes and take in the monstrosity two female demons were admiring.

The dress's most blinding attribute was its pinkness. Day glow, bitch-hot pink. Kagome felt her eyes burn and bile rise in her throat. It had to be the ugliest shade she had seen in a long, long time. Not since her New Kids on the Block back up dancer days. When they had their original hair lines.

Then there was the fact it was covered in a thick layer of lace. Lots and lots of lace, none of which appeared to match. Some was thick and knotted while other pieces were paper thin and wispy—the entire dress was covered by a vomit-bag patchwork of texture. And somehow the look did not work.

But the crowning gem on the atrocity had to be the gigantic birds and butterflies that were attached around the waist and on a shoulder. Their pink lace wings fluttered in the air with ever move the wolf demons made as they cooed over the abomination in their hands.

“Oh good you're awake! Just in time! You can get dressed!” The younger demoness gasped when she saw Kagome was staring at them. The girl was strangely happy, even though she was holding that soul sucking monstrosity. Kagome narrowed her eyes, waiting for the pink fluff to turn on the wolf and consume her whole.

However, she had no such luck.

Instead the wolves turned on her.

Before Kagome could protest, she found herself being cut out of the chair and hauled to her feet. The cursed duct tape was left over her mouth, however. Another young wolf came forward and held her right side while the over-enthusiastic girl stood where she was, latched onto Kagome's left arm. The matronly demoness took one look at Kagome's skirt and shirt and slashed it to ribbons, leaving her in her bra alone.

Thanks to Kouga using her panties as a gag, that particular garment was not functioning as it should.

Nevertheless, it was not as though the three women in the room with her were paying much attention. Instead, each of the younger wolves raised Kagome's arms over her head so the third could pull the dress down with her hands going through the sleeves in one quick jerk.

Looking down at herself, Kagome new she was about to be sick. Not that it would show.

Quickly, the three wolves lashed her into the pink monstrosity and straightened out the cloth (as best she could with all the lace) and stood back to take in the sight.

“You look so beautiful!” They all three cried in unison.

“Kouga did such a wonderful job picking it out!”

That explains a lot.

Kagome ground her fingers into her palm. Even though she was untied, the two wolf twins were locked onto wrists. If I only had youkai strength…or claws…or fangs. These bitches wouldn't stand a chance.

The dress might have been pink, but all Kagome saw was red. This was hardly how she had imagined her wedding dress to be, not that the wedding was picture perfect either.

The youkai shoved her feet into equally hideous shoes and began to move her toward the doorway.

Somehow, Kagome knew they were moving her to Kouga and that probably meant it was time for the “wedding”. Her heart beat rapidly and her thoughts began running in every direction.

How in the hell did I get myself into this mess?

Fucking Kouga, that's right.

Kagome had known before Kouga kidnapped her that she didn't love him and that he was on infatuated with her at best.

It was just the way he held her sometimes she could pretend that she was loved; that he wasn't just using her for sex, but that he cared about her. It might have been a lie, but it was something Kagome had thought she needed.

But you've really fucked things up, haven't you?

Inuyasha was always a confused spot for her, but if Kouga got his way Kagome knew she might not have a chance to figure out that puzzle.

Inuyasha…why is it like this?

Kagome made her way toward Inuyasha's house, carrying a plate covered in foil. Inside the bundle were a dozen or so cookies she had painstakingly decorated with Inuyasha's favorite colors.

As she approached the door, she found that someone was already there—it looked like Miroku.

When he heard her approaching, he turned and she saw that it was in fact their friend. “Hi Miroku! What are you doing here?”

Miroku shrugged and to Kagome he looked a little sad: “I was hoping to catch Inuyasha before he left, but I guess he's already gone.”

“Oh,” Kagome was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered. Inuyasha didn't say he was going anywhere… “I'm sure he'll be back soon.” She smiled brightly at Miroku, thinking happily about her boyfriend.

Miroku in turn gave her a confused look, “I doubt it,” he scoffed, and now she could clearly see he sounded bitter.

Now Kagome was feeling a little shaky; something clearly was not right—she sensed it. “Wh-what do you mean?”

Miroku turned away from the house to face her fully. “Kagome, you're my friend, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Inuyasha isn't coming back any time soon. He moved away—his whole family packed up and moved across the country.”

Still defending Inuyasha in her mind and attempting register this new news in her mind, Kagome stuttered out, “But he didn't tell me he was going anywhere. How long has he known that he was leaving?”

Miroku's answer was like a slap in the face, “Kagome, I don't know why he didn't tell you, but he's known for months. He probably didn't want to worry you.”

Kagome couldn't stand it anymore. She let the cookies she had been clutching fall. There was a satisfying *crack* as the plate shattered.

Kagome lay in her bedroom, in the dark, her head phones on as she listened to a CD of sad music.

`This is all because I had sex, isn't it?'

She scrunched in on herself as another round of tears passed over her. It just hurt so much. Not only had she lost her friend, but she just felt so—so used, betrayed. Inuyasha had had her trust, and all he did was use her and leave her. How many times had she heard that story before? Kagome had always sworn she wouldn't let men take advantage of her, but now look where she was.

Crying over that bastard Inuyasha. If he hadn't been just using her, wouldn't he have said goodbye?

Well, no more.

Getting up enough to kneel on her bed, Kagome clutched the shirt fabric over her heart.

She wouldn't let another guy use her because she would never let anyone else get that close to her. She had loved Inuyasha, but Kagome new in her melodramatic teenage girl heart of hearts that she would never love again!

For some reason, she still did not feel all that better with this internal declaration.

Inuyasha crouched in the bushes outside the wolf elder's compound. He and Sango had arrived there easily, following the point by point driving directions they had taken from Kouga's apartment. However getting there and getting in were two completely separate things.

He had been forced to ditch Sango's car a mile back because there was a fence in the way. Not just a fence but fucking cement wall right out of some feudal compound. Barbed wire, spikes, and motion-sensing guns greeted them from the top of said wall. After time-wasting arguing with Sango, Inuyasha had finally convinced the human wench to drive back into town and notify the police while he did all he could to get Kagome out of there.

Sango finally agreed to go, but only after making him swear that he “wouldn't hurt Kagome in any way shape or form” if he didn't want lose vital parts of his anatomy.

Inuyasha was trying to think of a way to get past all the bloody guards, when a bright red car sped into the courtyard, spraying gravel all over the armed men. The dust had not even settled when a red-headed demoness all but jumped out of the vehicle and stomped toward the house. No one bothered her.

The wolf was raising her hand to the large door knocker when she froze and spun on her heel. She turned, scenting the air until she was looking directly at Inuyasha's hiding place. The hanyou barely had time to think, Perhaps I should move? before the wolf flashed to stand directly before him.

She sucked in another breath, glaring Inuyasha in the eye. “You smell like that whore.”

Dumbly, Inuyasha shrugged, hoping the wolf would elaborate.

“You carry her scent all over you—and its fresher than it was on Kouga.” Pausing again, she gave Inuyasha about enough time to realize that she was talking about Kagome before she continued, “You aren't here to save her, are you?” Her eyes narrowed darkly, suspiciously.

Knowing he was making a mistake, Inuyasha nodded anyway. The demoness wasn't giving him time to think—not something he excelled at anyway.

“Are you fucking her too?” She continued, then as an afterthought, she added, “Come with me, I'm Ayame,” she offered her hand, but when Inuyasha went to shake it, Ayame grabbed him, dragging him back to the massive house—whether he wanted to go or not. “And you are? There's no reason to be rude?”

“I'm Inuyasha—and I'm here to get Kagome from Kouga.” The hanyou raised his chin in defiance, daring his captor to say anything about it.

“Are you, Mr. Hero?” Ayame scoffed. She walked them past the battalion of armed guards without breaking a sweat. None of them seemed to notice she was bringing in a hanyou with her. “That's sweet and all, but I have to say, I'm going to have to cut that bitch.”

“Why do you want to hurt Kagome?” Inuyasha bristled. He tried to pull away from her, but Ayame only dug her claws into his wrist.

“She's taking my man. But don't worry, she'll look shiny compared to what I'm going to do to Kouga,” turning to look at him, Inuyasha shivered at the malicious gleam in her green eyes.

Still, despite the demoness's intentions, Inuyasha wasn't about to let her harm hair on Kagome's head. No matter what Kagome might have done with Kouga, Inuyasha swore to himself that he wouldn't abandon her to an angry demoness. He had to protect her.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Inuyasha had followed Ayame through the maze that was the wolves' lair. She ranted from time to time about how she was going to kill Kagome, but mostly she went into sickening detail concerning what Kouga had coming to him. Evidently he had a few body piercings he would regret.

Especially the one in the tip of his—

Ayame suddenly opened a door and dragged Inuyasha in behind her.

There before them were a few demons wandering about, but in the center of the room stood an elder in a long brown robe and Kouga. Immediately, Inuyasha bristled, eyes flashing red. Kouga noticed the growling directed at him and turned to meet Inuyasha's glare. They stared one another down for a moment.

Everyone in the room paused for a moment, waiting to see what would happened.

Kouga made a jerk forward as though he were about to lash out, but Ayame stopped with a swift fist to his gut.

“Don't even think about it!” She growled.

“What the hell are you doing here—with him?” Kouga demanded, though a little weakly as he was till trying to recover from the hit.

“I've come here for you, dumb ass,” she retorted with a roll of her eyes and a slap to the back of his head.

“Lady Ayame,” the elder cut in respectfully, even if there was condescending glint to his eye. He stepped over Kouga's prone form to stand before her. “What is the meaning of this? We were agreed that—”

Ayame cut him off. “No, I've changed my mind.”

“I understand your are upset, but you must realize—”

“I said I had changed my mind. Now you're going to listen to me.”

Kagome found herself being pushed down a dark hallway, her hands re-bound in front of her so she could hold the wilting pink roses that had been duct taped into her hands. Thorns were digging into her palms, and needless to say, she was not happy about it.

A door at the end of the hall was opened from the other side and Kagome stumbled through. At first she thought she was imagining things, or at the very least her eyes were playing a trick on her.

Why else would Inuyasha be standing there, staring at her?

He looked as disgusted about the dress as she felt. But beneath the revulsion, Kagome could detect a genuine happiness in his eyes as she stumbled into the room. His shoulders relaxed their tense stance ever so slightly, and the tiniest of a smile graced the hanyou's lips.

He's happy to see me!

Her happy moment did not last long.

“Ah, my dear, you are here!” The be-robed elder cooed at Kagome as if she were child. “It appears we have a bit of a hitch in getting you hitched,” the wolf joked, throwing his head back and laughing even though the only other sound in the room were bored crickets chirping.

Kagome raised an eye brow and snorted, allowing herself to be drug over to the podium next to Kouga.

“I wouldn't call it a problem,” Kouga scoffed, arms crossed over his chest. “Just kick the mutt and her highness out and lets get this show on the road!” He rolled his eyes at a red headed wolf that Kagome recognized as Ayame.

What the fuck is going on? Why is Ayame here? And Inuyasha—Kagome could hardly breathe when her mind wondered into pondering the implications of his presence.

“Shut up Kouga,” Ayame snapped. She shoved Inuyasha out of her way and took a stomping step toward Kouga. “We're leaving—I'm not going to let you get away with just a slap on the wrist.” The wolf princess growled at her would-be mate, hands on her hips.

“Being married to that bitch?” Kouga scoffed, jerking his head toward Kagome. “It ain't no walk in the park Ayame! She's not that great in bed!”

“Please! You know you'll be with a trani prostitute within twenty-four hours,” Ayame retorted. “No, I want to see that you don't touch another woman until you can respect women enough understand what the female orgasm is, which will be um—oh yeah—never! You'll be my bitch until I see fit.”

“So what if I can't please a woman—as long as I'm the one to come that's the way babies are made. Kagome's going to have a lot of my cubs! Aren't you babe?” Kouga nodded at Kagome, adding a wink that made both her and Inuyasha shudder.

“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?!” Inuyasha and Kagome hissed in unison.

“You know you want a baby Kagome, and you'll have lots of them—I won't be able to claim any of them as my own because we aren't mated, but at least the cubs can keep you company.”

“That's it!” Kagome yelled. Reaching up, she jerked away the bird on her shoulder and chucked it at Kouga's head. The wolf staggered back for a moment and growled, rubbing the knot about his right eye where her hit struck him.

“Bitch!” Kouga blinked once at Kagome before he lunged at her. She managed to get just out of his way, but tragically the wolf youkai caught her skirts at her thighs, slicing it down to the ground.

“Babe! Your dress! Look what you did!” Kouga croaked, holding his claws up to his face to look at the bits of ugly pink fabric sticking to the nails, seeming more broken up that he had ruined the dress than the fact he had taken a swipe at his would-be bride.

Inuyasha felt his blood raise, his heart pounding up into his throat. No one goes after Kagome like that! A surge of protectiveness swelled to fill his gut as he glanced at Kagome, clearly shocked by Kouga's assault. Obviously, the wolf had never betrayed her in this way. Just using her for her body—but never physical harm.

Regardless, Kouga might be desperate, but that was no reason to go after Kagome with violence. Or at all.

Inuyasha growled, a rumbling deep in his throat. Kouga looked over his shoulder at the clearly-pissed hanyou then something snapped and it was a more or less a rumble, the four of them for themselves.

Which of course meant all against Kouga, who was being a royal pain in the ass.

The elder and the others in the room stepped back and watching the scene in front of them before going back to their own quiet conversations.

Somehow Kagome leaped and landed in the wolf's back, ripping part of her torn dress to wind it around his neck in an attempt to choke him.

Ayame beat Inuyasha to his punch by tackling Kouga around the waist, taking Kagome down to the ground as well. Pinned underneath the two wolves, Kagome only tightened her grip on the cloth, still choking Kouga. Even if her internal organs were being crushed and she was seeing stars, she refused to let go of the good grip she had on him.

Inuyasha attempted to grab Ayame in an effort to pull the two demons off Kagome. Instead the wolf youkai swung her elbow back and up, connecting with Inuyasha's Adam's apple. He lost balanced and fell on top of the pile, further smushing Kagome into the ground.

Kouga, in the meantime, was giving a stab at breathing and only succeeded at reacting, being the horn dog he was, very well to the fact he was sandwiched between two women.

Ahh…Ayame's tits on my chest, Kagome's against my back—I don't care if she's choking me. We may have to do this again. Three way here we come!

Licking his lips, Kouga couldn't decide which woman he liked more. He hungered for his former fiancée who was just above him, wiggling around.

Reflexively, the wolf demon's lips moved up and—because his eyes were closed—he did not see exactly where they were going…

The wolf youkai was trying to maneuver her way out from underneath Inuyasha. As she struggled, Ayame saw Kouga's face was moving, mouth puckered, toward her and in a nauseating need to get away from him, she managed to throw herself out of the pile. She rolled a short distance away and lay there, trying to regroup after what had just happened.

With Ayame no longer acting as a shield between the two men this left only one possible scenario.

Inuyasha and Kouga locked lips.

The hanyou was the first to realize the mistake, but Kouga—eyes having fluttered closed long before—seemed to think he was still holding his former betrothed and moved one arm up to tangle his fingers in Inuyasha's locks and the other to grope his chest where a female breast should have been.

Kagome, air long crushed out of her lungs, was staring at disbelief over Kouga's shoulder into Inuyasha's eye as he panicked, and began to flail around. Pushing up off the ground, he finally managed to roll himself and Kouga off Kagome's body, giving the girl a chance to gasp for breath.

She sat up, coughing and gasping, glad her internal organs were no longer flattened. Kagome knew she needed to help Inuyasha from being assaulted by Kouga, but first she had to stop seeing stars and dancing pink ponies before her eyes.

Kouga however, was not letting go of Inuyasha anytime soon: his hands were latched onto the back of the hanyou's head, obviously believing that Inuyasha's silky strands were those of Ayame, even if they lacked her curl.

Regaining her breath, Kagome was finally able to make a swipe at Kouga's head, yanking his hair back and away from the struggling Inuyasha so their lips could break contact. Odd how the wolf didn't seem to notice that his “woman” was resisting his embrace.

Kouga finally opened his eyes and blinked when he met Inuyasha's golden, glaring orbs only a few inches from his own. His confusion only lasted for a moment, and when his anger came in the next second, Kouga reared back and punched Inuyasha squarely in the eye.

“Fucker!” The half demon howled, pulling his head back so he could butt Kouga in the face. There was a sickening *snap* as Kouga's nose broke. Surprise dawned in the demon's eyes as he recognized pain, and tiny tears pitted in his eyes.

It appeared at first that Kouga was going to strike at Inuyasha again, but all the wolf did was stare blankly at the air before him. Blood was slipping out of his nostril, a few splats falling on Inuyasha's face.

Suddenly, Kouga sniffled, and the demon burst into tears. Rolling off Inuyasha he curled into a fetal ball, wailing bloody murder all the while.

Ayame and Kagome exchanged a glanced. Both women's thoughts followed the same direction: How could I have slept with such a pussy?!

Inuyasha quickly brushed the blood droplets off his face, hurrying to his feet so he could get away from the sobbing Kouga.

As if lead by a beacon, he found himself before Kagome, and not waiting another moment, he reached down and wrapped his arms around her. He had never been so relieved before in his life. All the worry he had pushed down to his gut relaxed as he held Kagome in his arms.

Kagome herself sagged into Inuyasha's embrace, so happy to have him near her again.

He came for me.

Maybe things won't be so bad after all…

Just as everything seemed all right and that they would be okay, Inuyasha was suddenly pulled away from Kagome. Eyes flying open, Kagome saw that Ayame was holding Inuyasha around the neck, her claws digging into the skin around his throat.

“Let him go!” Kagome cried, taking a step toward them.

“Come any closer and he'll be decapitated—we both know a hanyou can't survive that.”

Kagome nodded, more in agreement than anything else: “What do you want? I'll do anything if you just release him.”

“Kagome—” Inuyasha tried to interject, but Ayame only dug her claws in further.

“You took Kouga from me, even if he is a worthless sack of shit, so I'm going to hurt the man you love. That would be worse than anything I could do to you.”

Kagome's breath caught in her throat. She met Inuyasha in the eye.

This could not be happening.
