Disaster
Chapter 4: Perverts and Sits

By Selenity Jade

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, though I do come up with my own ideas for stories. I'd love to own Inu though... even Kouga! I'd buy Kouga. I like Kouga.

 

Last Chapter: Koharu is picked up, and Kouga finally sleeps.

She was stiff and tense in the circle of the wolf youkai's arms and prayed to every god she could think of that she'd get free before Inuyasha came back. There would be no way to avoid a fight between Kouga and Inuyasha if he saw her like this. Inuyasha - despite being devoted to Kikyou - did get jealous when Kagome's attention was elsewhere. It was painfully obvious when he every time he even smelled or heard Kouga's name mentioned, he would growl and twitch.

 

Just the thought of Inuyasha coming upon them like this was enough to make her shiver in fear. Oh, she knew he wouldn't hurt her, but she'd have to sit him a million times to make him spare Kouga. Youkai men were so possessive! Even when they kept declaring that they felt only friendship. Or maybe all men were, how was she to know? She'd never been in any sort of close relationship with a boy, after all.

 

She sighed. No point in getting bitter about that now. She knew Inuyasha cared about her, perhaps more than anyone but Kikyou, and she knew he even trusted her more than he trusted anyone else, including Kikyou, but that didn't prove it was love. She was his friend, perhaps his best friend, and even if he had feelings for her like he sometimes seemed to, he felt responsible and devoted to her previous incarnation. She had agreed to stay with him after his choice to follow Kikyou into hell, and she intended to do just that, with no strings or pressure. She just wanted to be with him, no matter what he chose to do. He could use the Shikon no Tama to turn full demon, and she'd still keep that promise.

 

She liked Kouga, she really did, but it paled in comparison to the feelings she had for Inuyasha. She hurt for Kouga because he didn't deserve to lose everyone to Naraku, though she knew he had been the cause of many villagers being eaten. But in these times, she couldn't really hold that against him. He was a youkai in the Feudal Era, and most men in this time kill other people just to survive. And she had never seen him do that, so it hadn't hit her that her friend was maybe a man-eating monster.

 

She was relieved he was finally sleeping, of course. He had looked so exhausted and haunted for these past few days that she had begun to really worry about him. However, panic was beginning to flourish in her mind as she realized it was getting late. If she didn't get free soon...

 

She sighed and gently tried to pull away from the youkai, only to find herself completely stuck. His grip hadn't even tightened around her and yet she couldn't break free. She didn't think he was going to let go without waking up first...

 

And if Inuyasha came when they were like this, he might very well kill Kouga, and she didn't want that, especially when it would be her fault!

 

"Kouga-kun?" she said softly, trying to lean away from his chest. He only stirred slightly, nuzzled her neck, and then tightened his arms around her. If he held her any tighter, she'd turn blue from lack of oxygen!

 

"Kagome? Where are you?" she heard Shippou call from below them.

 

"Shippou? I'm on the roof," she called quietly, hoping she wouldn't wake the wolf demon just yet. He shifted in his sleep, but didn't wake up.

 

She heard the small kitsune hope onto the roof, though she couldn't turn her head enough to see him. "Kagome," he asked in obvious surprise. "What are you doing with Kouga? Inuyasha is gonna get all mad."

 

"I know. That's why I want you to help me get out of this, Shippou. I promise chocolate," she cajoled hurried. "Please?" She could feel Kouga tense in his sleep, possibly due to a strange youkai's presence. It was kind of odd, he was comfortable enough to relax with her, but the tiny kitsune's approach was going to wake him. He was just as aware of his surroundings - even in sleep - as Inuyasha was. No one would sneak up on either of them. Suddenly having Kouga with their team made her feel a bit less guilty towards Inuyasha's feelings. Two alert - or rather wild - youkai was a very good idea.

 

"I don't know," the kitsune hemmed slowly, plainly eager to prod Inuyasha into fits. "It'd have to be an awfully big piece of chocolate."

 

"Please, Shippou? Just get me out of here before Inuyasha comes," she whined softly. She so did not want Inuyasha to see this. He got angry when Kouga touched her hands. He'd absolutely go berserk if he found her held in his lap!

 

Shippou walked into her line of sight and he looked serious. "Too late."

Inuyasha walked beside the monk with his hands in his sleeves. He was watching the ground thoughtfully as they approached the hut.

 

"You could have carried your share," Miroku stated in his usual serene manner, though the hanyou swore he heard a note of irritation. And he smelled irritated. Good. Serves the pervert right.

 

"I kill things, I don't carry them."

 

He could hear the monk roll his eyes. "You carry things for Kagome-sama."

Inuyasha snorted. "That's different."

 

"How?"

 

"She's a girl, that's how!" the half-demon snapped, glancing at the dark-haired man angrily.

 

"You do not carry Sango's load."

 

Inuyasha bristled. "If Sango can carry that heavy weapon, she can carry her own packs."

 

"True," the pervert agreed amiably. "But saying that the reason you help Kagome with her burden is because she's a girl is misleading. It isn't because she's a girl. It's because you think she's weak, then?"

 

The dog demon slapped the monk upside the head angrily. "Don't call her weak!"

 

"Then why help her carry her packs if you don't think that?" the bruised monk persisted with a rub of his head.

 

"I don't know! I just do, alright!" Inuyasha snapped.

 

Miroku gave the angry half-youkai his calm smile. "I see. So you are simply concerned for Kagome-sama's well-being, then?"

 

"I guess," the hanyou agreed as the exited the forest, stepping onto the path towards the hut.

 

Miroku put a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder to halt him. "We should talk, Inuyasha."

 

"'Bout what?" the angry white-haired boy grunted irritably as he turned to face the monk.

 

"Kagome-sama and Kouga."

 

Inuyasha automatically released a low, possessive growl.

 

Miroku had the gall to smirk knowingly. "I see," the lecher stated with a nod. "I am correct in assuming you are jealous then?"

 

Inuyasha reached out to hit the monk again, but Miroku expected the attack and jumped back out of the hanyou's reach. If he had been really trying, Inuyasha knew he could have hurt the monk, but as they were supposed to be friends - though this was debatable as he always had the urge to leave the monk in a ditch somewhere badly beaten - he simply let the priest dodge his blow. "I am not jealous."

 

"Right, Inuyasha. If you believe that, then you must believe that Naraku is really a beautiful woman."

 

Inuyasha's eye twitched. "Ew, Miroku. Don't even say stuff like that. Now I'm picturing that bastard in a dress with breasts."

 

Miroku made an appropriate grimace. "I see what you mean. All I was saying was that both claims are highly unlikely. Your jealousy and Naraku's sex."

 

"Miroku!" Inuyasha snapped, snatching the monk's staff and thwapping him on the head with it. "Don't use sex and Naraku in the same sentence!"

 

Miroku blinked, rubbing the bump on his head. "Ah, yes, I suppose you could take it that way. As I was saying, again, you're jealous and Naraku is a man, alright? Though he could cross-dress sometimes, for all we know."

 

"Miroku, EW! Stop it already!"

 

The monk smirked. "Okay, you win. Just admit you're jealous and I'll stop with the jokes of Naraku's preferences."

 

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at the monk. "I am not admitting to anything. After all, it's not like I have to talk with you. I still don't entirely trust you. Anyone who can grope innocent women and ask an eleven year old to bear his children is serious suspect."

 

Miroku managed to look wounded as he held a hand to his chest. "Me? Inuyasha, you wound me! I would never stoop so low as to betray you or actually force a child on a child!"

 

"You still asked her."

 

"Well, that's the only way I know how to interact with girls, okay? I knew it worked on other village girls and I wanted to see her smile. That's all."

 

"Lecher."

 

"You hurt me with your words."

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Just forget it. I am not talking to anyone about anything I'm feeling."

 

"No one except Kagome-sama, correct?"

 

Inuyasha snorted slightly, not negating that obvious fact, and turned to walk back towards the hut.

 

"Okay, Inuyasha, you don't have to talk about it, but listen for a second. I think if you really don't want Kouga to win Kagome-"

 

"WIN? Are you insane? She's not going anywhere near that stupid wolf to let him do any sort of winning to her!"

 

Miroku blinked. "That didn't altogether make much sense, Inuyasha."

 

"Shuddup!"

 

The monk sighed. "My point is, maybe you should let Kagome-sama know how you feel, alright?"

 

Inuyasha glared at him. "Kagome and I know all we need to know, and it is none of your business."

 

"You did choose Kikyou, remember?"

 

"Shuddup!"

 

"All I'm saying is that perhaps you should simply tell her how much she means to you-"

 

"Miroku!"

 

"Or simply make some sort of move on her-"

 

"Monk!"

 

"She does have a very nice backside-"

 

"YOU PERVERT!"

 

The loud smack echoed slightly, and Inuyasha walked the rest of the way towards the hut after leaving the stunned monk lying on the ground.

 

Inuyasha sniffed the air slightly, making sure everyone was inside the hut or near it, and nothing had happened while he was gone. He had been careful not to go too far from the hut in case he felt youki approach them or the hut, but it never hurt to check.

 

He squinted his eyes at the lumps on the roof of the hut, which was too far to make out. As he came closer, they sharpened until he could see Shippou, and what looked like a very fat, and hunched over, Kouga...

 

Wait...

 

The hair on his neck bristled as he growled dangerously, hopping towards the hut and onto the roof in record speed.

 

He snarled wordlessly at the vision before him. Kagome in the arms of that fucking wolf. That wolf was touching her. That wolf was holding her in his lap. That wolf had the nerve to fucking bury his face against her neck, marking her with his scent like he owned her! He barely saw Kagome's wide, scared eyes, but he knew she was scared by her scent. Stupid bitch, you should be scared, to betray me with this fucking coward, this mangy wolf! Stupid bitch! Stupid wolf!

 

His cheeks started to itch, and his vision blurred for a moment before he heard the most dreaded word.

 

"Sit!"

AN: Yes, it was shorter than normal, but I love my semi-cliffhangers. (hee) I only hope Inuyasha's complete rage showed through correctly...

 

Lovies!
