[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
4. Hanyou, Human & Youkai Oh My!
Koga could smell him `mutt face' was in his territory. No doubt the half-breed was looking for Kagome. “I'll rip his throat out!”
Stepping into the night he growled, Inuyasha was very close; the wolf prince wondered if Kagome was already with him. Betrayal stabbed at his heart; maybe he should have taken Kagome and marked her even with her protests.
She is mine, she came to me. How dare that brainless hanyou try and challenge me in my own territory. It will cost him his life this time. I don't care who his father was.
A night piercing howl shattered the mountainside, Koga was calling his brethren to the hunt. Kagome shuddered at the eerie wolf song, as Inuyasha began growling in response.
“Shit! They're coming.” Inuyasha attempted to draw Tetsaiga, but Kagome stopped his hand. “I'm not going to fight a pissed off pack of wolves empty handed.”
Kagomes eyes filled with tears. “Leave Inuyasha, leave now! I sense Kogas' jewel shards, and they're moving fast. I started this, it's my fault.” She grabbed Inuyasha pulling him into a pleading kiss. “Go! Go! I can stop Koga, I'll find you, just watch for my arrow.”
“I'm not leaving you to that wolf Kagome.” Inuyasha demanded, but she was already sprinting toward the approaching pack. “I sure hope you know what you're doing. I wont be too far off.”
It took all of his strength for him to turn from her and take to the trees. All of his instincts told him to go to her, but he knew how stubborn Kagome could be, if her mind was set to get herself out of this mess she would. His doubt was Koga, he was still a youkai and a wolf he could be very unpredictable, not to mention dangerous.
He had traveled only a few miles from the den, Inuyasha could still taste Kagome on his lips, and he was about to return to her side when he heard his name.
“Inuyasha! Where is she?” Miroku yelled from above him.
A very loud snarl was Mirokus' response.
“Take Shippo Miroku, I'll go to Kagome.” Sango directed Kirara to the forest floor; Miroku took the kitsune from the exterminators' arms.
“Just what the hell do you think you're going to do Sango? Kagome is there with that bastard Koga and his pack, the bitch sent me away after all of her signals, kami, I'm so confused! She wants me to make love to her then tells me to leave.” Inuyasha realizes he said that last part out loud. “I mean..”
Sangos' eyes were like saucers, Shippo looked confused, and Miroku had the biggest smile on his face.
Lecherous monk! Hentai! All right what does that make me I wanted to be with her, fucking Koga ruin a good thing like that. What are you thinking! Get your mind out of the gutter! Kagome is there with that wolf right now probably fighting to keep his paws off of her!
“Oh the complexities of woman! Good for you Inuyasha, wish Sango would ask the same of me.” The monk winked at Sango slyly.
Ignoring Mirokus looks she turned her eyes to Inuyasha in the trees above her. “I can go to get between Kagome and Koga, surely the wolf-demon prince would not deny my presence. Kagome is, after all my friend.” She grabbed Kagomes' pack, as she climbed on Kirara.
Inuyasha continued to grumble; he began hitting the tree trunk he was in, his agitation growing into hardly subdued waves of aggression. Why would Kagome send him away? She knew he would always protect her; he lived to protect her, now he wanted to love her, she was the air he breathed in, and she was under his skin, part of what made him alive. He was so angry with himself all of the emotions he had wasted on the shell of Kikyo, while all the time hurting Kagome, but she still, through all of it stayed by his side in their journeys.
“I will be off Inuyasha.” Sango took to the night sky; Kirara traveling as fast as she could to make it to Kagome before the wolf prince put her in a bad situation. “I'm coming Kagome.”
“Inuyasha come down before you bring that great tree more unwarranted destruction.” Miroku shook his head, as Inuyasha continued to pummel the tree, blood began to drip to the ground at his feet. “No self control Shippo, learn what not to do in love from Inuyasha.”
With that comment Inuyasha took from the branch, hitting Miroku from behind, causing Shippo to go flying and Mirokus face to be planted in the dirt with a angered hanyou perched on his back. “What was that monk?”
------*------
Kagome was instantly surrounded by the wolf pack, and fifteen wolf-demons. All agitated, waiting for a fight.
“Where is that dog shit Kagome, I know he's here.” Koga grabbed her roughly by the arms jerking her to him. He sniffed at her and growled, his fangs gleaming in the moonlight. “His stench is all over you, where is the Inu-bastard?”
Kagomes silence only served to irritate him further. “Answer me bitch!” Koga shook her violently.
“Get away from her. You're hurting her!” Makkura slinked out of the shadows to Kagomes side.
Releasing one of Kagomes' arms Koga reared back and sent a closed fist into the boys face sending Makkura flying with a pained yelp. That was it! Kagome could take his abuse, but to hurt a little boy! Before her brain could register she had slapped Koga across the face so hard her palm stung.
“Let me go Koga!” Kagome desperately wished she had her bow and quiver, which would put things into perspective. “Let go!”
She tried desperately to wrench her arms free of his iron grip, to no avail. In frustration, and reflex Kagome jammed her knee into Koga's crotch. The air escaped him, his grip loosened, and she broke free, gathering up an unconscious Makkura as she tried to run to the trees.
Why did I let Inuyasha leave? Kogas' going to kill me!
The wolves and wolf-demons went to pursue the defiant woman, but Koga stopped them. “She is mine to tame, take one step toward her and I'll break your legs!” A feral snarl filled the night air as Koga leapt to his feet. Kagome was only a few yards into her run from him. He would not even have to exert himself to catch her.
Kagome was in flight mode her adrenaline pumping through her veins, she had never before been terrified of Koga, but his actions warranted her response, how dare he grab her like that she wasn't a possession! And she sure as hell wasn't going to take his orders like some kind of slave! Abruptly she came to a halt, her scalp burned, she twisted around to find Koga holding her securely by her hair, he knocked Makkura from her arms the unconscious pup tumbled from her to the ground with a thud. She tried to swing at Koga but he caught her tiny fist in his, twisting her wrist, the bones threatened to snap as Koga forced her to her knees, tiny rocks biting into her skin, Kagome grimaced, angry that she could not prevent her pain response. The wolf prince released her hair, glaring down at the insolent woman before him; he held her fast by threatening to break every bone in her hand.
“No more Kagome, I don't care what I said, I'm making you mine now!” Koga released her hand, flipping her roughly onto her stomach; he reached up ripping the panties off of her, his erection pressed against her. “This is not the way I wanted this to be, but I can't have Inuyasha sniffing around what is mine.” He held fast to her hips as he moved to her pressing himself into her tight opening, she let out a scream as she struggled forcing him out of her. “Don't fight it Kagome.” He wished she was somewhat stimulated, this was going to hurt her, but he had no choice any more. He'd take his time with her next time. Koga couldn't wait for the joining ceremony.
The wolves and wolf-demons excitedly yipped and barked encircling their alpha.
Fingernails snapped in the dirt as she desperately tried to crawl away from her assailant. Hot, blinding tears blurred Kagomes' vision, how could this be happening? “Please Koga, don't.” She sobbed as she felt him try to enter untouched areas again, Kagome tried in vein to wiggle from him, but his claws dug into her skin, she felt blood running from wounds in her thighs. “I promise I wont run again.”
In a split second Koga was there then he was gone, his surprised howl came from above her.
“You need too cool off.”
Kagome heard the familiar voice of Sango, looking through a veil of tears she saw Sango holding Koga by the scruff of the neck, Kirara flying him to the river where she let him fall into the icy water. Growls and a string of angry curses followed.
“Kagome!” Kirara landed hissing furiously sending the startled wolves backing away. Sango reached for Kagome, hugging her and Makkura tightly to her body. “How dare he! Inuyasha won't have to slay him, I will!” Seething rage radiated from Sangos' eyes as she searched for the wolf prince. “Did he… did he dishonor you Kagome?” Her friend looked at her with terrified eyes.
“I don't know.” Kagome seemed unable fathom what had happened to her; her spirit was to distressed to make since of it all.
Koga pulled himself out of the river looking like a drowned rat, which he did feel like. The icy dip calmed him down instantly; the smell of Kagomes flesh embedded under his claws mortified him. Never had his demon nature caused someone he loved so much pain. The smell of Kagomes' fear and blood mingled disgusting his sensitive nose. He crossed a line, how could he forget she was only human, a demon-wolf bitch could take the abuse, hell they asked for it, Koga knew he was going to have a lot of explaining to do, that is if Kagome would ever speak to him again. Why did he care what she thought? She came to him, Kagome had to know what she was asking for, even if she didn't ask directly, her actions were enough. She would be his mate and give him pups that was her duty to the pack. Koga made his way to his indented mate, but was cut off by the irate fire cat, her snarl even made Koga doubt his safety, no wonder his pack was staying well away from those massive fangs and claws.
“Kagome?” The wolf prince spoke over Kiraras' growl.
“You are a monster Koga! How dare you even come near her!” Sango hissed in anger.
With her mistresses' tone Kirara decided she should neutralize the threat to both women. With one fluid movement the fire cat had Koga pinned beneath her, a saber tooth positioned right over his cartaroid artery, willing in an instant to put the wolf to death. One less demon for her to worry about, plus the jewel shards in his body would be a bonus. The tooth began to sink into the wolfs' skin, the snarls of his pack began to get louder, no longer were the wolves staying back a cat had their leader, and they were not going to sit by and watch him die.
“If you don't want your pet dead you better call her off.” Koga choked on his words, the pressure at his neck was increasing. “My pack will attack.”
“Shut up! You're lucky any of them are alive the way I feel right now!” Sango laid Kagome back on the ground, Makkura still held tightly in her arms. “What do you think you were doing? I should make you a unic for forcing yourself on a woman!” Sango rummaged through the pack for something to cover Kagome with, her eyes never leaving the wolves. “They attack you will be dead before they get one fang into me.”
“Come on, let me up, I just want to speak to Kagome. She is my mate.”
“She is no mate to you. You hold no claim over her, do you honestly think this is what Kagome would want?” Sango covered her with a kimono from her bag. “Kirara let him up.”
“Thanks.” Koga sat rubbing at his neck, Kirara sat at Sangos' side. “I did not mean to hurt Kagome, I never would hurt Kagome, and it was just the urge to rut, to make her mine.”
Sango rolled her eyes; she knew bullshit when she heard it. It was males lust, it always was.
------*------
Inuyasha relaxed against the tree trunk, he really wanted Kagome here with him, well knowing Sango could protect Kagome from a few wolves. The night breeze was cool and sweet, and there was a faint hint of what? Inuyasha stood, his nose in the air searching the familiar, yet disturbing scent. His ears pivoted back and forth listening for any sound. Inuyasha snarled viciously as he drew Tetsaiga, the scent slapped him with recognition.
“Inu.. Inuyasha?” Shippo stuttered. The hanyous' aggressive posture frightened him. “Miroku something is wrong with Inuyasha.” The kit turned to the monk who was already starring at Inuyasha; Miroku raised his hand motioning Shippo to quiet.
“Sango did not get to her in time.” Inuyasha growled through barred teeth and fangs. “Kagomes' blood is on the wind.” Inuyasha tore through the night; Tetsaiga fully transformed responding to its master.
How could I be so stupid! Why did you leave her? It was not only Kagome's blood, but also her fear that also worried him. I will rip that scrawny wolf limb form limb, Kagome I'm coming, please be all right.
Irrational fear was consuming him, how could he allow her to be hurt, her blood was spilled and it was his fault! He was supposed to always protect her, he failed again, and he was not going to let Kagome end like Kikyo. The dark thought of her hurt crept into his thoughts, spurring him on through the night even faster. The few miles from where he left her seemed but a few feet as he approached the gathering, not far from the riverbank. Koga was standing to greet him, a wicked smile on his face, he would show no weakness to the hanyou, and even if he did feel badly for the way he acted toward Kagome.
Inuyasha landed near Kagome and Sango, Kirara was still tensed ready to pounce on any wolf that came to near.
“Kagome?” Inuyasha whispered in her ear. “I sorry, I knew I shouldn't have left you.” His amber eyes glowing coldly in Kogas' direction, that wolf was not to be trusted.
“Inuyasha, I'm so glad you are here.” Kagome weakly sat up trying to hand Makkura to Sango, she couldn't her arms were shaking to badly; Sango took the boy from her. “I'm sorry about this Inuyasha.” She looped her arms around his chest, burying her face in his warmth. “I'm okay now that you are here.”
Inuyasha looked down at her, she was completely vulnerable, and what ever happened shook her to her foundation. He felt her silent sobs against his chest.
“What the fuck did you do to her Koga?!” Inuyasha held her close with his left arm his right hand still holding Tetsaiga at the ready.
“Just what any male would do with his mate, but the exterminator bitch showed up, I didn't even get to really start.” Koga strode up as close as Kirara would let him with out ripping his head off. “I will tell you once mutt get your hands off what is mine.”
At Kogas' declaration Kagome shuddered, pulling Inuyasha even closer, it seemed like she was trying to burrow into him to get away from Koga. Inuyasha felt his anger begin to flare violently as the growl in his chest became a roar, the youkai in his blood surged to the surface, if not for Tetsaiga he knew he would go on a murderous rampage, even hurting the woman he wished to protect.
“Go to hell Koga. She is not yours, not as long as I'm still breathing. Kagome doesn't want you, or do you do this to all the bitches you want to bed? You have to scare them into submission, not much of a male are you? You lacking Koga?” Inuyasha mocked.
Sango snickered under her breath; she was still in awe at the way Inuyasha was responding to Kagome. Sango gently pulled the kimono down from Kagome, exposing the torn flesh of her thighs. “He forced himself Inuyasha.”
Inuyashas' eyes flashed red briefly as he pried Kagome from him, lifting her chin so she'd look at him, he nearly cried himself, she was hurting, the anguish shone in her eyes. “I will uphold your honor.” He inhaled her scent deeply, she was claming down, and her virginity was in tact Koga did not get far indeed. “Go to Sango she will protect you, I am going to teach Koga some manners.”
“So you want to challenge me in my own territory? So be it mutt face.”
“I don't want to challenge you Koga, Kagome has already made up her mind about her mate, I just want to kill you for putting you're paws on what is mine.” Inuyasha snarled to Koga who seemed confused at his words.
