RECAP:

Kouga couldn't speak. Her sudden closeness to him stopped his heart. Her scent made him feal dizzy and his stomach tumble around in his body. No female had ever made him feal like this. He leaned against her body and nuzzled her neck. He took in a quick intake of her scent to ease his own problems, more than likely this would be the last time he will get to do this so he savored the moment.

For the Love of a Miko

Chapter 7: Plans Change (Ignorance is Bliss)

"We're almost there!" Inuyasha called back at the jumbled monk.

'I don't know how Kagome does it?' he thought. Miroku found himself sore and tired. His staff jingled with every leap and bound the hanyo made. 'Please be alright Sango,' the monk prayed for his love, and friend. He cursed himself for never telling her how he fealt about her. He knew he could never tell her though, at least not until Naraku was dead, and his wind tunnel was gone. The thought of his dear Sango having to watch as he was sucked into the cursed hole did not set well with him.

```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````````````

Kouga removed the woman from around his neck. He pulled her to where he could look into her eyes. They shone with the brightness and clarity that the heavens themselves strived to achieve in the dawning of a new day.

"Kagome, I uh....have something to tell you..." he started. Kagome just looked into his brown eyes. She was trying to read whatever message was there. She was suprised to find remorse, sorrow, guilt, and something she thought she would never see in the eyes of a man. Love. "I am the one who...." He was unable to finish his statement. Inuyasha burst through the door of the hut right at that very moment in time.

To say Kagome was shocked would have been an understatement. She had understood what Kouga was trying to say. He was the one that had taken her friends. She instinctually took a step back away from him. This did not go unnoticed by Inuyasha. A ferral growl escaped his lips. Kouga turned to the hanyo, fully prepared to take whatever punishment the fates had in store for him. He convinced himself that he would not fight back.

"Why you dirty little wolf..." Inuyasha spit out through clenched teeth. Kagome decided that now would be a good time to subdue her friend, and try to get some information from Kouga. She never got the chance though. Inuyasha lunged at Kouga, which in turn pushed Kagome to the far wall of the tiny hut. When she hit, her head snapped back and crashed into it with a sickening thudd. The miko fell in an unconcious heap on the floor. Sango, Shippo (now awake), and Kouga cried out to her in unison.

"Kagome..." Inuyasha spoke, his voice came out in a hoars whisper. He did not recognize his own voice. It sounded foreign to him.

"What did you do to her!" Kouga turned his anger and full attencion on the hanyo. He would pay for what he had done to Kagome! His mind realed and his vision turned red. Kouga swung his fist, but Inuyasha managed to jump back in time, landing hiself out side the hut where the fight insued.

Sango slowly crawled to her helpless friend. She picked her up and cradled the form in her lap. Sango had come to think of Kagome as the sister she never had. They had spent so much time together, and had no secrets from each other. There where many times they had discussed life, love, and death. To think the man that held this outstanding miko's heart had a hand at doing this to her, and now stood outside engaged in a fight, indifferent to the status of the woman he was supposedly fighting for. Shippo took his adopted mother's hand and began to stroke it, as Sango did with Kagome's hair. Tears fell frealy from their eyes. Even the most cold hearted, blood thirst being would shed a tear at the scene they made.

Kikyo looked on at the scene with mild interrest. Things were going to plan despite the wolf's sudden betrayal. The only difference was that it was taking place in the vilage of her sister, rather than in the safety of the woods. Kagome was nowhere to be found, along with the demon exterminator, and the kit. Inuyasha and Kouga were fighting, blood lust filling their eyes, the monk was standing next to her sister's hut staring dumbfounded at the battle before him.

'I guess this is where I would usually have come in,' She thought to herself. 'hmph' she mumbled as she trudged through the remaining brush that stood between her and her hanyo. Her eyes never betraying her excitement as she thought of their torment together for the rest of eternity. She knew what was in store for them, but the reaction she would get from Inuyasha would be priceless.

She made her way to the 'war zone' and awaited the eventual notice of her presence. She may be in love with one, and on speaking terms with the other, but she knew better than get in between two demons when they were out for blood.

Kouga managed to land a very hard kick in Inuyasha's chest. They had sustained minor cuts and bruises, but nothing serious, which had Inuyasha puzzled. Kouga was never able to equal him let alone best him in battle. The only time Kouga ever came close was when he thought Inuyasha had killed his packmates, but he still had the help of a counterfeit jewel shard.

Inuyasha was thrown about ten yards away from the blow. They both stood there panting, all energy spent. "Baka Inuyasha, huh, if Kagome's hurt, gasp', I will personally dismember you, huh, and feed your rotting flesh to the crows!" Kouga said trying to catch his breath in the process.

"Wimpy wolf, you took Sango, and Shippo!" Inuyasha had a better controll of his breathing by this time. The two combatants gave each other deadly glares of blades. Inuyasha hefted himself up from his trench compliments of Kouga, and prepared to charge back into battle when a scent stopped him in his tracks. Apparently Kouga smelled it as well, because his hair bristled and he turned his back on Inuyasha.

"Naraku," Inuyasha said.

"Wench," Kouga spat.

Inuyasha gave his previous opponent a look of curiosity until his eyes fell on the source of the vile smell. His face went cold and blank as he looked upon his former lover. "Ki...Kikyo..." He stammered. Had his nose steared him astray? How was it that she smelled just like Naraku, instead of her trademark bone and earth? He tested the air one more and found his sences to be correct. Inuyasha was at a loss for words, Kouga wasn't however.

"I will help you no more wench. Whatever deal you had with me ended the moment I brought them back! "
