No. It was a demon…tall. Golden eyes…silver hair…that scent! `This person is related to Inuyasha!' he thought and began to walk again. A hand gripped his shoulder hard and whirled him around. Cobalt met gold. “What the hell do you want mutt face?” Anger flickered across the ocher orbs.

“I believe you forgot to apologize.” Sesshoumaru said coldly.

“Yea right. Like I would apologize to anyone who smells so much like that dog breath half breed.”

“Excuse me?” the Taiyoukai said, his grip tightening.

“You heard me. You are related to that mutt Inuyash-” he didn't finish. The wolf prince was slammed into the wall of a nearby building.

“Who the hell-” Kouga stammered standing up and readying for a fight. Green acid dripped from his opponent's hand, melting the pavement where it fell. The Taiyoukai looked down into Kouga's cobalt eyes, standing nearly a foot taller.

“YOUKAI!!! YOUKAI ARE FIGHTING!” A frightened woman screamed from somewhere in the gathered crowd. Sesshoumaru turned, his stoic eyes sleeping through the group of humans. The acid stopped dripping, and he turned muttering something like `waste of my time…'

Kouga watched him walk off, a smirk spreading across his smug face. `Too scared to fight me.' He thought. “Well?” the wolf youkai yelled at the humans, “go!” They scattered in silence, going back to their business without a glance back. He began walking again. `Who did he think he was taking on me? Could have beat him to a bleeding pulp…'

“I'm going home for the night guys,” Kagome said waving to her friends. Sango began to protest. “Don't worry. I just need to walk a few blocks, it isn't that dark out yet.” Her friend sighed.

“See you tomorrow Kagome…” she waved. The miko flashed her a smile and left the hospital. The sidewalks were strangely empty. A chill ran up her back. `Calm down…' she told herself, though still she couldn't shake the feeling someone was following her. Reaching her apartment building the girl let out a shaken sigh. `See? No one following me…no one…'

Stepping off the elevator Kagome made her way down the hallway on the fourth floor. She stopped in front of her door. It stood slightly ajar. Peering through the small crack the girl could only see darkness. She strained to hear, but it was silent. `No one is here!' she told herself and strolled into the apartment building.

She sat her things down on the bed, making her way to the vanity to check her make-up. The room was still dark, as she had neglected to turn on the light. Staring into the mirror her eyes widened. Frozen to the spot she felt a hard, cold gun nozzle press against her head. “Kagome…” a gruff voice whispered in her ears. She recognized it instantly.

“K- Kouga?” the miko choked out. She heard him chuckle softly and the click of the gun. `I am going to die! I am going to die! The man who shot my hanyou is going to shoot me. He is going to kill me!'

Inuyasha sighed again. He wished Kagome was still her, heck, he wished Sango were here. As long as he didn't have to stay in the God forsaken hospital another day! He grumbled something, turning on his side. It was dark, he was tired, but for some reason he found it impossible to go to sleep. Something was wrong. That was the only conclusion he could come to.

The hanyou stood up. His legs felt weak beneath him, but he ignored it. Something was wrong, he had to know what. Inuyasha made it to the door. He clung to it tightly, regaining his balance before turning it and opening the door. The hallway was brightly lit, but there wasn't any sign of life. Gripping to the railing along the wall he made his way down the hallway at a slow pace.

Kagome felt his hot breath on her neck, his arm wrapping around her and pulling her against him. “Be my woman, you don't need that filthy half breed,” he cooed, “I have much more to offer. And we don't want you to get hurt, do we?” She wouldn't scream, she wouldn't dare scream. `I have too…just for awhile…need to get out of here…'

“You're right,” she said softly. The miko felt her self grow sick at his touch, at his breath. She squeezed her eyes shut. “You are way better than that nasty hanyou…”

Kouga let the gun flatter to the floor. He whirled Kagome around to face him. She rested her head on his chest, absently kicking the gun away. His arms pulled her closer against him making her skin crawl. She almost pulled away when she saw what he was doing. The wolf lifted her chin up, his arm holding her firmly against him. No way to escape. She felt him kiss her. His kiss was hard, unlike the soft tender ones she shared with Inuyasha.

`Inuyasha…just pretend it's him…' Kagome tried, but it was useless. This monster could never be her loving, kind, gentle Inuyasha. It ended, his head snapping to when he heard footsteps. Kouga pulled Kagome even tighter against himself.

“Whose there?” He growled.

“Kagome?” came someone's voice. Sango's voice. She sounded worried. Kagome tried to call out to her, but the wolf's hand clapped over her mouth. “Kagome, I came to check on you…you left your door open. I was got worried…” She could hear her friend moving about the house.

“Who is she?” he growled into her ear. Kagome tried to scream, but it was muffled behind his hand. “Damn…”

“Kagome? Kagome are you here at all?” Sango asked flicking on a light switch. Light flooded into the room through the open bedroom door. She was in the hall, and coming towards them.

Kouga mentally cursed. “I have to remove them all from the picture for this to work…starting with the mutt…” He threw the miko on to the floor, hard. She crashed down, moaning at the hard impact. She could hear her window opening, then the sounds of him escaping through it. “Sango!” Kagome groaned reaching her hands up hold her head. The young woman appeared in the doorway, her eyes widened in horror.

“Kagome! What happened?!” she cried kneeling next to the raven-haired miko. “Are you ok?”

Kagome was hysterical. Remove them from the picture? Did Kouga plan on killing her friends? She gasped. Inuyasha! He was going to kill him! “Sango! Kouga, he, he is going to kill him!” Her friend tried to comfort her, a dazed look on her own face.

“Kouga? Did he do this?”

“He…tried to kill me…told me to go with him. Then he said he was going to remove you from the picture…starting with Inuyasha!” Kagome could see the fear etched into her friend's face.

“We need to call the police.” She said meekly. The miko rocked slowly back and forth, pulling her legs against her chest.

“Yes. Go tell the police.” Kagome said softly. Something about her voice was different.

“Are you sure you are alright?” Sango asked worriedly. Kagome nodded, beckoning her friend to go.

His ears twitched as he stood still, his grip on the bar tightening. Inuyasha let out an aggravated growl. He had no idea where he was going. `I need to get out of this place! I need to know what is going on!' His golden orbs peered around spotting a sign that read, `roof' a slight smile spread across his face. “Perfect…” he mumbled out loud.

The hanyou slowly climbed the stairs. It was a narrow way leading up to the metal door. He reached it. Pausing to rest for a moment before pulling it open. Cool air rushed at him. He stumbled onto the roof. It was wonderful to be out in the open again, under the stars. It made him feel calmer.

Making his way to the edge he looked down, streets covered with cars, sidewalks still crawling with people. It was fantastic to be able to take in the scents of something other than medicine and such. He was sick of this whole thing, and once he could, he would find Kouga and make him pay. A low growl rose in his throat. “Damn…he'll pay…” he growled under his breath.

“Oh really?” Came a cool reply. Inuyasha turned around to search for its owner. A hand shot out, gripping his neck.

“Kouga…” he hissed. The hand tightened the more Inuyasha struggled. He was weak from his walk and unable to put up the fight he needed to win. To survive. Kouga had a smirk on his face as he held Inuyasha over the edge of the building. He watched the hanyou's eyes. To his dismay they held no fear, only rage.

“Long drop down,” he said coolly, “wouldn't want to fall, would we?”

“What the hell do you want?” Inuyasha choked between struggled breaths. A thoughtful look crossed the wolf's face.

“Hmm…I guess I want Kagome. To steal her from you as you stole Kikyou from me.” Inuyasha's eyes widened for a moment.

“Don't hurt her!” he screamed, “If you dare hurt her I'll rip your throat out!!!”

“Big words for someone in your position. With you out of the way I'll have Kagome for myself to do with her as I wish.” Kouga's grip loosened on Inuyasha's throat. “Goodbye mutt. Hope you enjoyed your existence as a filthy half breed.” A smirk crossed his face again, as he stared into Inuyasha's face.

Hmm…do I kill our beloved hanyou? Or…does he live? *shrugs* who knows anymore? Maybe I should kill him, I mean after letting him live through that shot to the heart! Review and tell me what you think. I'll listen and decide!

Inuyasha: Witch…

Kouga: God…

Kagome: *cry*

Ray: o.o where did you come from?
