Not Forever

First Fan Fic

This fic is getting a MAJOR make over. I'm slowly changing the format of every chapter. It'll probably seem like a first fic still since I can't change things too much otherwise the entire fic would be changed. All the new chapters will be in the new, normal format due to the reason I haven't been working on this fic as much as I should because the format annoys me just ever so much.

Check out my other fan fics Hanging by a Moment & Skull and Crossbones!

Remember to R&R!

Chapter 5

Battle

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Moments later Inuyasha came running over, "Where's Kagome!?" He looked around anxiously as he sniffed at the air. As Miroku reached them, the small group heard a yell, "SHE'S MY WOMAN!" Instantly Inuyasha's eyes flashed red with pure hatred. "She's not your woman! I'm going to kill you Kouga!" he yelled as he rushed off into the woods after Kouga to safe Kagome from his clutches.
Sango and Miroku exchanged a knowing look before they rushed in after their hanyou companion leaving the young kitsune Shippo and the neko youkai, Kirara behind.

~*~

A mile ahead of Inuyasha, Kouga ran with Kagome slung over his shoulder like a worthless whore. The trees whipped past them in a blear as Kagome beat down on her captors back. "What the hell is going on!" she screamed at him as she kicked at his chest hoping to make him slow down. "Let me down you yarou! I'm not your woman and ever will me!" "Don't worry Kagome. You are my woman, you just haven't realized it yet!" Kouga replied with a saucy smile as he jumped over a fallen rotting log on the forest floor. "PUT ME DOWN!" Kagome screeched.

Suddenly, as if out of nowhere someone runs along side them and knocks Kouga onto the ground. "AHHHHHHHH!" Kagome screamed as she goes flying into the air before falling to the ground. Her vision goes hazy as she looks up at the sky, her fallen body covered in leaves and smeared with dirt. The last thing she saw before she lost consciousness was Inuyasha going after Kouga with an extreme look of hatred on his face.

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled as he looked down at her unconscious body before glaring daggers at Kouga. "You are going to PAY for that you bastard!!" Inuyasha yelled flexing his claws before he lunges at Kouga punching him in the jaw throwing the Ookami youkai back a dozen feet. "That was a freebie dog breath!" Kouga sneered shaking off the blow before moving to attack Inuyasha with a kick to the stomach. Inuyasha jumps back out of the way of the attack causing Kouga to miss. "Wimpy wolf!" the hanyou teased. Kouga growls as he moves to attack once again.

~*~

Nearly ten minutes later, Sango and Miroku finally reach the clearing in the forest were the hanyou and Ookami youkai are viscously fighting. They stand side by side at the edge of the clearing taking in the scene for a moment. Inuyasha and Kouga were blears as they swung at each other. Both hoping to be the victor to stand over the others dead or wounded body. Sango's eyes go wide when she sees Kagome's unconscious form. "Kagome..." she whispers her eyes instantly beginning to tear up as she rushed to her best friend's side. Kneeling at the miko's side she brushes the dirt and leaves from her friend's body. "Kagome...Kagome....please wake up.....Kagome," Sango repeated over and over as she gently moved Kagome so that her head could rest in Sango's lap.

~*~

Inuyasha goes flying back from a painful blow from Kouga's fist. He doesn't stop until his back slams into a tree. The agile hanyou turns the hit into an advantage, twisting his body so that he could push off the trunk of the tree to jump back at the Ookami. Dipping his claws into a wound on his chest made by Kouga, the hanyou takes aim and yells, "BLADES OF BLOOD!" Throwing the attack at great accuracy he hits his mark causing deep cuts to Kouga's arm. The attack aggravated Kouga, making him want to harm Inuyasha greatly. He charged at Inuyasha swiping at him with his claws. Inuyasha does a flip backwards to dodge the attack and kicks off a tree to send his body back at Kouga to punch him once again in the jaw. Blood spits out from Kouga's mouth as the Ookami stumbles.

Over away from where the fighting is taking place in the forest clearing, Miroku kneels beside Sango. He placed his staff on the ground beside them as he quickly looks over Kagome checking for obvious wounds. Sango sobs quietly gently stroking her hands through the miko's raven hair, "Kagome please be ok...please be ok." Miroku placed a hand on Sango's back slowly rubbing circles to calm her, his hand never moving even remotely towards her bottom. For once he knew this wasn't a time to be a lecherous monk. "She'll be alright, Sango. Inuyasha won't let anything bad happen to her. He looks over at the fight going on not even a dozen feet away, "As for Kouga, Inuyasha will do everything possible to have something terrible happen to him."

~*~

Inuyasha lunges at his opponent his eyes bleeding red with anger. He swings at Kouga's right legs, his claws digging through flesh done to the bone causing one of Kouga's shards to come out. Kouga howls in pain and falls onto the ground unable to maintain his balance through the blow. "BASTARD!" he yells angrily as he struggled to stand. Inuyasha looks down at him with a cocky smile as he bends to pick up the shard in his bloody claws, "Guess next time we fight you'll be an even weaker Ookami." Inuyasha looked down upon his foe with pure hatred. "You were just lucky this time!" Kouga retaliated at the hanyou as he limped off out of sight, leaving a trail of blood behind him.

~*~

Instantly after Kouga disappeared from sight he ran to Kagome's side were Sango still cradled her head crying. He gestured to Sango to move so that he could rest Kagome's body against his. She reluctantly obliged and moved to sit beside Miroku just a foot away. "Kagome..." Inuyasha said softly pulling her into his lap, a hand gently stroking Kagome's cheek, "Kagome...." Her eyes began to flutter open, "Inuyasha?" she said weakly her unfocused eyes looking up at his face. "Kagome...I'm here," Inuyasha said softly to her.

"I'm taking her to Kaede," he said looking at Sango and Miroku. They both nodded in agreement and silently got to their feet watching the tense hanyou. Inuyasha carefully picked Kagome up into his arms, making sure that she would be comfortable and safe before he began to run out of the forest to the village.

Shippo paced along the forest edge, fearful at what was happening to his surrogate mother. He mumbled under his breath about how he should've run after Sango and Miroku so he could somehow help, even though he knew Inuyasha wouldn't allow it. Shippo instantly jumped up when he saw Inuyasha emerge with Kagome unmoving body in his arms. "What did you do now?! Is she ok?!" the young kitsune cried as he jumped onto Inuyasha's back. "Get off Shippo, I need to get her to Kaede," Inuyasha said just a little to kindly to the kitsune. Shoving Shippo from his shoulder, Inuyasha ran to the old woman's hut in the village. `Why did he smell like blood?' Shippo thought as Sango and Miroku stepped from the forest.

~*~

Nearly an hour later in the village, Inuyasha hovered around Kagome while Kaede examined her. Sango and Miroku, along with Shippo sat outside knowing the hanyou would not want them present while Kagome was in an unstable state. "She will be fine in a few days," Kaede said as she placed a cool clothe on Kagome's head, "She has but a bump on her head." Inuyasha stopped pacing and sat down beside Kagome, "It was Kouga's fault," he said to Kaede in a huff. "She needs rest, Inuyasha." Kaede slowly got to her feet, "I shall go now. I need to tend to some sick children in the village. And with that she left the hut, leaving Inuyasha alone with Kagome.

Inuyasha looked around the hut quickly to see if anyone was in there to watch him. Once he was sure they were truly alone he took Kagome's hand in his. He gently rubbed her hand with his fingers, mindful of his claws. Kagome's eyes began to flutter, as her hand tightened around his so that they were holding hands. "Inuyasha..." she said weakly her eyes opening to focus upon his face. She smiled softly, reassured that he was by her side. "Kagome..." Inuyasha said softly smiling down at her, happy that she was awake. It felt to them as if they were alone as their eyes locked in the love they had for each other.
