Divided Loyalty, Demonic Love

Part: 4/(?)

Disclaimer: If you add everything I own to all the money I make, you get a negative number.

Chapter summary: I follow canon pretty closely on this one.

Warnings: Eh, not much. Some language?

 

AN: The canon details I've altered, emphasized, or elaborated on will probably come up later in the plot. Assume anything I skimmed happened the same as canon. "Canon" is a mix-n-match of anime and manga, depending on my whim.

 

 

Last time:

 

A figure leapt out of the whirlwind. The figure of a man, impossibly fast, shot out of the tornado toward them, bracing himself as he slid to a stop. There was a blur of motion, and his hair whipped around his face as he skidded to a halt in front of them. The wolves immediately gathered around him, and after a few seconds the man approached them, his face dark with fury.

 

“You bastards! How dare you kill my wolves!”

 

 

 

Chapter 4: With repetition

 

It's...

 

Kagome tried to keep her mind on what was happening.

 

You've gone into the woods. You've met the wolf.

 

They really needed her right now. This was the one she sensed! Before she got a chance to speak, Inuyasha had confronted the man - Youkai, she corrected herself, noting claws and pointed ears - and the battle between Inuyasha and the newcomer began.

 

Kagome was not afraid of wolves. The funny feeling in her stomach was from an altogether different set of complex emotions.

 

You've met the wolf. There's no way out...

 

There isn't time for this right now! she thought, ignoring the slightly frayed edge to her thoughts.

 

After trading insults, Inuyasha attacked with Tessaiga. Before he hit, the youkai blurred, leaping into the air and rebounding off it as if it were solid. He spun into a vortex and his fist slammed into the ground with an impact that Inuyasha just barely dodged. Another blur and the youkai's heel slammed into Inuyasha's face, throwing him back a dozen feet.

 

There's no way out except...

 

Kagome finally had an opportunity to shout a warning about the demon's shards. At the sound of her voice the youkai turned, and for an endless moment his blue gaze locked with Kagome's, sending a shiver down her body. And immediately the fighters launched into another round of insults. The demon with blue eyes identified himself as `Kouga, son of the Yourouzoku'.

 

A blue eyed wolf!

 

Kagome noticed Shippo wiggling around in her arms a moment before she heard growls on all sides, making the tiny hairs on her arms and neck stand on end.

 

“Aaahhh!” Shippo wailed, “They're closing in on us!”

 

“Kirara!” Sango's strong voice was completely unafraid.

 

You've met the wolf. There's no way out except…

 

The tiny kitten bounded forward between the wolves and humans and started to hiss. For a moment the wolves looked confused and vaguely insulted, until Kirara transformed in a rush of flame and roared. Then there were only yelps as the wolves turned tail and ran off.

 

Shippo leapt atop Kirara. “Yahaha, look at em run!” he crowed, then turned to face the battle. “The rest is up to you, Inuyasha!”

 

Inuyasha probably would have shot him an annoyed look, but he was having far too much trouble with Kouga.

 

Focus, Kagome. There's no time for this right now.

 

The hanyou swept Tessaiga down in a powerful overhand blow; graceless and enthusiastic in classic Inuyasha style. Kouga smirked, then vanished an inch before the sword connected. He appeared a score of yards away and built momentum into a punch that would have knocked Inuyasha across the ghost town, except the hanyou rolled onto his back at the last second and jammed his heels into the demon's solar plexus, turning the wolf's momentum against him and launching him back over his head onto a rooftop on the other side of the dirty town.

 

Instead of landing, Kouga lashed out one heel as he touched down and the entire structure collapsed in a cloud of dust. They saw his figure rise easily, apparently not even winded from the impacts.

 

“Tsh, you can barely defend yourself, let alone attack me!” he taunted Inuyasha. Then he charged.

 

“Stay back, guys,” Inuyasha growled to them, and readied Tessaiga.

 

Kouga charged.

 

Inuyasha raised Tessaiga overhead and screamed a wordless challenge to the wolf demon, who answered by leaping into the air and aiming a final strike at his hanyou opponent. Both of them seemed to agree that this would be the final exchange, and Inuyasha readied the kaze no kizu.

 

A sudden jolt seemed to run through Kouga, and his eyes widened for a moment in what might have been panic. Kagome started as once again he seemed to rebound off of midair and landed on a rooftop across from them, calling out to his wolves, “Withdraw!” before the familiar tornado disappeared in the direction from which he had come, the wolves close behind.

 

For a moment, the shard hunters stared.

 

“He... ran away?” Inuyasha seemed dumbfounded, mouth slightly ajar.

 

“Very readily too!” Kagome was present enough to shake her head at the apparent cowardice.

 

Sango and Miroku didn't seem to think so.

 

You've gone into the woods. You've met the wolf. There's no way out except… There's no way out except...

 

The group started in the direction the wolves had left, intending to track down Kouga and take his jewel shards.

 

Not long after they were on the trail, Kagome found herself zoning out, ignoring Inuyasha and Shippo bickering as they tried to track the wolves.

 

It was a gorgeous day. The blue sky contained only a few puffy clouds. It was a little over-warm, but the foliage and angle of the mountain meant they were mostly out of direct sunlight.

 

She was determinedly NOT thinking about a certain event in her past.

 

If only it wasn't so quiet...

 

Kagome found herself listening for the twitter of birds, the dull hum of insects, something, anything that wasn't the howl of wind and the faint roar of water far below.

 

Nothing.

 

The wind was at their backs, and even Kagome knew that it put them at a large disadvantage. Inuyasha, Shippo, and Kirara couldn't smell what lay ahead. It seemed the wolves knew the mountains extremely well, enough to use the very air currents to their advantage.

 

It was far too quiet.

 

Just as she opened her mouth to ask, Inuyasha gave a sudden call, “Wolves!” and took off down the path. Kagome could just see the end of a tail disappear around a corner ahead.

 

As Inuyasha leapt to follow, everything seemed to happen at once.

 

A flood of wolves leapt from above, knocking Inuyasha clear off the path and down the seemingly endless cliff.

 

Kagome rushed to see if he was okay, there was a blur and a blast of air hit her as something shot into the sky. She shielded her eyes, trying to peer into the sun to see what it was, but before she could make out more than a silhouette, the figure shot out of the sky and she felt an arm like a band of iron slam into her waist, knocking her breath out all at once as she felt herself being carried over the edge of the cliff.

 

“Ha, she's MINE!” came a familiar voice. Kagome turned and saw her captor was none other than Kouga, who had apparently just thrown her over his shoulder with her legs dangling down his back, and wondered what the heck was going on.

 

Then she remembered that they had fallen over the edge of the cliff.

 

Kagome shrieked as they fell faster and faster.

 

She gripped onto the wolf demon's arms and screamed and screamed until she heard him shout, “Quit screaming in my ear, woman!”

 

Now she was ticked off as well as scared, “I'm panicking! Kyaa kyaa KYAA!”

 

They had reached level ground once again, and Kouga had turned and was looking over his other shoulder. Kagome looked back into the sky and saw that they were being chased by at least a dozen hideous flying demons. “What the...?”

 

“Fucking birds... hey woman, see if any of them have jewel shards!” Kagome gave him a blank look, but he was having none of it, “Don't give me that... do any of those birds have a jewel shard!?”

 

Kagome scanned the sky, “...There's none!” Not that I would tell you... jerk!

 

“You sure? Then we're outta here!” Kouga shifted his grip, tucking her under his arm and holding her against his body.

 

Wha? Oh! He's putting himself between me and the birds! she realized with a strange feeling. What in the world is going on?

 

“Hang on... let's move!” They accelerated to an unbelievable speed so quickly that Kagome would have shrieked again if she could find the breath. “Ha... suck on that! You bastards have no chance of catching me!” he taunted over his shoulder. Kagome would have said something sarcastic, but the words were lost to the howling wind as they zoomed across the mountains.

 

 

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

 

 

In a hidden little pocket of a canyon bordered by terraced cliffs, they finally slowed to a stop. Kagome gazed upon a sparkling waterfall that streamed down over a long drop into a jewel-like pool surrounded by greenery. The only thing that separated it from a vision of paradise were the wolf demons who emerged to greet their leader.

 

“Kouga!”

 

“Welcome home!”

 

“The young lord's back!”

 

With nothing more than a cheerful “Tadaima!” Kouga leapt straight through the waterfall to a hidden cave behind it.

 

“Kyaa, cold!” was Kagome's only comment as they broke through the icy cascade. She stopped short as she heard her voice echoed back to her, and looked around as Kouga set her on her feet and pulled her through the surprisingly well-lit cavern. This must be the Yourouzoku den! She looked around.

 

The hungry growls of the demons were making her nervous, though.

 

“That's a tempting-looking woman you got there...”

 

“Can I have one of the legs?”

 

“Lovely prey, Kouga.”

 

“Please, please let us eat her too?”

 

Passing piles of bones, Kagome stumbled over a few that lay strewn over the floor as Kouga roughly dragged her by the arm. Oh god... this place is full of man-eating wolves and skeletons! I'm almost certain that some of those bones are human...

 

She was not afraid of wolves. Kagome hated worms. She wasn't fond of heights. But, she had no fear of wolves. Normal wolves.

 

“Oof!” Kouga had tossed her on a bed of straw near the back of the main cavern. Then the demons advanced on her. Kagome was just saying her final prayers when she heard Kouga snarl.

 

“She's not food. Anyone who tries to eat this woman, dies!” The other wolf demons cringed back from his tone, and a horrible idea dawned on her.

 

Not food? Oh no... please tell me I'm not here as some kind of... `entertainment'! Kagome thought, slightly hysterical.

 

Her heart clenched as she heard his next words, “You guys can eat this one instead.”

 

“Kagomeeee!” Shippo wailed, terrified.

 

Shippo had somehow managed to hang on all the way to the caves.

 

Kagome lunged for the kitsune, only to miss as Kouga held him up out of her reach, looking mildly interested. A few threats and negotiations later and she held the precious kitsune in her lap once again.

 

Kouga sat down on the furs across from her, “I need you to help us in exchange for the brat's life. Deal?”

 

There was really only one answer she could give. “Okay...”

 

“Good.” Kouga's sat across from her as Kagome held Shippo in her lap. “It's those birds who came after us. They call themselves Gokurakuchou. They recently came to our mountains from the north, fleeing from something, we don't know what.

 

“We've fought them for a while now and more or less held our own, but a few weeks ago their leader somehow acquired a jewel shard. Now our pack is almost completely wiped out.”

 

“But... why are they attacking you?”

 

Kouga's voice was steady, but his face was solemn and he didn't look at her as he answered in terse sentences, “Since they arrived, the prey in these mountains is almost completely wiped out. They're starving. So are we. We've turned to eating humans. They've turned to eating us. We've come across their nests before and found them covered with wolf bones. They target the young first, then the females. Now pretty much all that's left of us are the fastest and strongest adult males of our tribe. We used to rule these mountains, but now the handful of us left have moved into these caves so they can't just swoop down on us in the middle of the night.”

 

Kagome felt a twinge of sympathy, “That's awful!”

 

“That's why you're here. We're going to attack them, and you'll tell us the location of the jewel shard.”

 

“So your pack is in danger, and that's why you want my help?” Kouga just looked at her silently. “Okay, I'll do it.” I'd better pretend to cooperate... until Inuyasha can find me. But Kagome couldn't deny that she felt for the plight of the wolves.

Perhaps she would help them after all.

 

 

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

 

 

Kagome sat on the bed, absently picking at a piece of straw that had worked its way out from under the furs beneath her.

 

They were leaving within the hour. Kouga had offered her some of the boar the wolves had brought back, apparently forgetting or unaware that humans needed their food cooked, until he had seen her expression as she refused. Kagome wished vainly for her backpack and its supply of what her friends had termed `ninja food'. They had left their supplies in Kaede's village since they only meant to be gone for a few hours, before coming upon the slain village.

 

Then there was the way Kouga had looked at her before he left...

 

Just before walking off, Kouga stopped and stared at her with a bizarre expression which melted into something that made Kagome more than a little uneasy. He looked like he was about to say something, but instead he just walked off, looking ponderous.

 

Kagome was worried. The way he looked at her had been almost... hungry.

 

She had to get Shippo out of here.

 

Kagome jumped and bit back a shriek when a clawed finger tapped her on the shoulder.

 

“Stand up,” came Shippo's voice from behind her.

 

Kagome suppressed a startled jump when she saw that Shippo had transformed into an almost perfect replica of Kouga. Wow, he's really getting good at that.

 

“Come on, Kagome. Let's get out of here before they get suspicious!”

 

“Shippo,” she whispered, “there's no way that'll work...”

 

“It will. Those furs reek of Kouga, and he carried us all the way here. His scent should be strong enough on both of us that the others won't notice… as long as they're not paying too close attention.” Shippo started to look uneasy.

 

Guess it's worth a shot. Kagome quickly stood up before she could change her mind. Shippo grabbed her by the arm and pretended to roughly drag her through the cave toward the waterfall. Kagome was terrified for Shippo. She was sure the entire cave could smell her fear, but hopefully they would think she was only afraid of `Kouga'...

 

Kagome was so wrapped up in her own thoughts she completely missed it when one of the Yourouzoku called out to Shippo-turned-Kouga, but she did hear Shippo reply in a fake-deep voice that sounded painfully un-Kouga-like to her, “Getting her some air, it fuckin' stinks in here.”

 

For the second time in as many minutes, Kagome's terror subsided just enough to be impressed at Shippo's skill.

 

They had fooled the Yourouzoku, who were off guard, but Shippo hadn't counted on one thing: the wolves, far more dependent on pure scent, wouldn't be as easy to fool.

 

When they were within a few feet of the falls, one of the wolves clamped down on Shippo's tail and he untransformed with a squeal.

 

Oh sh... was the only thing Kagome had time to think before they were facing a bristling wall of weapons.

 

Kagome didn't have time to think, just react. Grabbing a discarded spear, she readied it in front of her before grabbing Shippo and making a dash through the waterfall. The moment it took for the Yourouzoku to get over their shock and give chase was enough time for Kagome to dash to the cliff edge and throw the fox-child into the wild blue. “Shippo, find Inuyasha!”

 

“You're not getting away!” One of the Yourouzoku flung a chain-weapon after the departing Kitsune to capture him, and Kagome unthinkingly slammed the butt of her spear into the chain to interrupt it. The spear was torn from her hands, and nearly took Kagome over the edge with it. Now she stood alone and unarmed, facing the mob of enraged Yourouzoku.

 

“Wench,” one of them growled, stalking forward, “I'll devour you alive!”

 

 

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

 

 

Kagome's mind cleared.

 

The palm of her right hand was stinging.

 

Something big had happened. And if she could just focus, Kagome knew she could figure out what it was.

 

Okay, the wolf demon had threatened her… Eek!

 

What then?

 

...Kouga had appeared and saved her.

 

Well, that was a relief.

 

What then?

 

Then she saw red, and the palm of her right hand stung.

 

Wait.

 

Back up...

 

The wolf demons stalking towards her, hunger in their eyes...

 

No, no. Too far. Skip ahead a little bit...

 

...

 

“I'm gonna make you my woman!”

 

Eh?

 

The other wolves seemed to have similar reactions.

 

Kouga's arm wrapped around her waist, and he drew her firmly against him. Kagome's entire body flushed, and she felt a fluttering panic rising...

 

Absolute silence, broken only by a sharp crack. Kagome realized her right palm stung. A spot of red had bloomed on Kouga's cheek, and he, along with the rest of the Yourouzoku, appeared stupefied.

 

“Oh my god. That girl's gonna die.”

 

She had slapped him? Huh.

 

Kouga looked more thoughtful than angry. He was staring at her as if seeing her for the first time.

 

What had happened then?

 

“I might not be available! Did you ever think of that?”

 

“You don't mean... that mutt Inukkoro, do you?”

 

“He's Inuyasha! Don't call him that!”

 

...

 

What had happened then?

 

“...won't be much competition from a pile of bones.”

 

A demonic glint in his eyes, Kouga turned his back on her and strode away, and Kagome felt the icy fingers of fear clench around her heart.

 

...

 

Oh, so that's what had happened.

 

 

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

 

 

Kagome crouched behind a boulder as the inhuman shrieks of the birdlike demons echoed around her, staying as close to Kouga as her pride would allow.

 

“So, the Gokurakuchou nest in this mountain?”

 

“Yes,” Kouga replied, “it's your job to spot the one with a shard of the jewel.”

 

“All right.” There was a jewel shard on the mountain, she could sense it. I wish Inuyasha was here.

 

The Gokurakuchou spotted them.

 

“Looks like they're onto us. Take care of the small fry!” Kouga called to his troops. “Come on, Kagome.” He gently grabbed her around the waist and jumped. Kagome couldn't stifle another shriek as Kouga bounded up the mountain, slashing the bird demons apart with his free hand as he went, the abrupt impacts nearly giving her whiplash. Her stomach felt like it had been left somewhere on the ground far below. Please come quickly, Inuyasha! Kagome looked back at the battle and was horrified. Kouga had been slashing the Gokurakuchou apart rather easily, but it looked like it took at least four of the others to take down each bird demon. The stones ran with blood and shrieks of pain reached her even through the rush of wind.

 

Kouga's voice broke Kagome out of her thoughts, “Kagome, we'll reach the boss's nest shortly.”

 

“Shortly?” There was a sudden, unmistakable pulse of power. “Kouga, right in front! I can see a Shikon fragment!”

 

A giant, mutant bird demon burst out of the mountain in front of them. Kouga again turned to put his body between Kagome and the splinters of stone whizzing past.

 

Wow, I didn't think those things could get much uglier. The Gokurakuchou king looked like the Youkai version of Siamese twins, with two humanoid torsos growing out of the main head-body.

 

“Kukuku we've been waiting for you, brat from the youkai wolf tribe!”

 

“Kagome, where is the Shikon shard?”

 

She concentrated for a moment, “It's... inside its mouth!”

 

Kagome got a much closer view of the demon's mouth than she wanted as the Gokurakuchou king opened its giant mouth and tried to swallow them whole. Kouga's arm tightened around her waist and jumped out of the way and down the mountain at the dizzying speed Kagome didn't think she would ever get used to. In a blink they were back on the ground next to Kouga's two sub-commanders - Ginta and Hakkaku Kagome remembered. The two flunkies were winded, having just killed one of the demons. Kagome was actually somewhat impressed, since not ten meters away nearly a dozen Yourouzoku and wolves were trying to bring down a single Gokurakuchou.

 

“Kouga!” they still found the breath to greet their leader.

 

“Protect Kagome!” Kouga grabbed a discarded weapon, and when Kagome objected simply said, “I'm the only one strong enough to fight it,” before vanishing in a whirlwind.

 

“Let's get you to safety, Nee-san,” Ginta ordered.

 

“...Nee-san?”

 

“Human or not, Kouga's woman is still one of us.”

 

Kagome barely got started correcting them (loudly) when Ginta cried “Watch out!” and shoved her out of the way just as one of the Gokurakuchou swooped past, Ginta jamming a spear into its enormous face as it started to fly away, the unfortunate wolf demon firmly clutched in its talons.

 

“We gotta save him!” Kagome gasped.

 

“Too late,” Hakkaku replied, “he'll be taken to the nest and devoured.”

 

Kagome refused to give up. It should have been her in the demon's claws, but Ginta had pushed her aside at the last second, leaving him no time to make his own escape.

 

There! A bow and three arrows next to one of the fallen Yourouzoku, who was hopefully just unconscious, but probably dead. Kagome notched an arrow and fired with a prayer that she wouldn't miss.

 

Her prayer was answered when her sacred arrow tore the demon in two, instantly killing it. Ginta bounced off its body and fell to the ground as Kagome rushed to him, he thanked her while the few nearby Yourouzoku murmured nervously.

 

“There's more!” Kagome turned around to see a whole flock of the Gokurakuchou descending on them. She had two arrows left and no time to fire them. Kagome closed her eyes and waited for the end when she heard Inuyasha's voice calling her name.

 

 

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

 

 

Kagome's relief increased along with the nearby Yourouzoku's uneasiness as Inuyasha ripped through several of the bird demons with Tessaiga. He jumped up the mountain while Miroku's Kazaana took care of the rest.

 

“Who in the hell are these humans?”

 

Kagome ignored everyone else, trying to make out what was happening up on the mountain through the glare of the sun. The Gokurakuchou had destroyed Kouga's weapon and the wolf demon in turn had killed one of the two heads while Inuyasha injured one of its wings. The injured bird flew off and Kagome ran toward the pair, who seemed to be arguing about something. When she got close enough to hear...

 

“Kagome is my woman now. I won't let anyone have her!”

 

Kagome's so-called friends turned towards her with speculative expressions. “He's making it up!” Did they really have such a low opinion of her virtue?

 

Her thoughts ground to a halt at Kouga's next words. Had Kouga just literally shouted from the mountaintops that he was in love with her? Her friends' expressions seemed to confirm that she wasn't hallucinating.

 

“She can see the jewel shards, she's got guts, and she's a damn fine woman too!”

 

Kagome was seriously considering whether Kouga was her new favorite person when she realized he and Inuyasha had started trying to kill each other. “Hey, stop fighting! I haven't been hurt!”

 

“That's not the point!” Inuyasha roared.

 

“Don't worry Kagome, once you've been with me, you won't even remember this dog-turd's name!”

 

Kouga once again managed to crash Kagome's train of thought so she just stared, caught between mortification and disbelief.

 

Inuyasha had just resumed trying to kill Kouga when Kagome felt a pulse. “The Jewel...” she could deal with Inuyasha in a minute.

 

“Kouga-kun, it's right above you!”

 

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Inuyasha freeze and turn toward her with possibly the most hilarious expression she had ever seen, whether because she was helping Kouga or at the affectionate `-kun', she didn't know. Too bad there wasn't time to enjoy it.

 

“What?! Where? I don't see anything.”

 

“Behind you!”

 

Kouga turned just in time for the demon to clamp its jaws on his right arm and take off. The other Yourouzoku called out in horror as Kouga swiveled and kicked the demon's teeth in, freeing himself but tearing his arm wide open in the process. Kouga dropped like a rock and hit the ground hard, leaving a small crater in the process.

 

“Stay back!” he shouted as Kagome and the wolf demons rushed toward him. Kouga levered himself to his knees, “He's coming back, and I'm his only target!”

 

A shadow fell over Kouga and he looked back to see Inuyasha standing over him, facing the bird. “What the?”

 

“Shut up and watch, wimpy wolf.” Kagome had rarely heard Inuyasha's voice so menacingly serious. Kouga's eyes went wide as Inuyasha unleashed the kaze no kizu, Tessaiga's power cutting the bird to pieces. Kagome ran to Kouga and pulled him into her lap to help prop him up.

 

“Kouga-kun!” Kagome exclaimed as the wolf-demon pulled out of her embrace and staggered to his feet. Those two numbskulls were still going to try killing each other? Idiots! They had a combined intellect rivaled only by garden tools.

 

“Inuyasha, Osuwari!”

 

The hanyou ate dirt, and Kouga sank back to the ground, barely conscious.

 

“Get him out of here!” she called to Ginta and Hakkaku. They nodded and the wolf demons grabbed their protesting leader and started to run off.

 

Kagome paused and looked after them before climbing into the crater where the bird had perished, finding and purifying the shards before putting them into her small glass jar, which Sango had helpfully brought.

 

 

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

 

 

Inuyasha demanded an explanation why she helped the Yourozoku, and didn't seem to like her answers. His consequent sulk made her feel slightly guilty... until she tried to thank him, and he blew up at her before demanding to know what she had done with Kouga.

 

Kagome in turn blew up at him, and things went downhill from there.

 

 

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

 

 

“Let's go, Kirara,” Kagome muttered angrily, jumping on the cat-demon's back and zoning out as she took to the sky. It had been some time since she'd been home, and was overdue for a trip. She rubbed Kirara's ears absently, and felt a purr rumble through the demon's feline body.

 

Kagome was happy to be finally going home at last. This had been one of the most insane series of events that had ever happened to her, which was especially impressive considering how her life had been one chaotic mess after another since Centipede Jourou had emerged from the well and dragged her five hundred years into the past, into the Sengoku Jidai.

 

Lost in her memories and petting Kirara, Kagome paid no attention to the direction they were heading.
