The Girl is Mine

 

After a fierce battle with Naraku, two wounded rivals for Kagomes affections sat uncomfortably together. In both their lines of sight was the women they both looked at as belonging to them. She was helping the others with their injuries.

 

“You treat Kagome like a possession,” Kouga growled. “She deserves better.”

 

“Feh,” InuYasha spat. “You treat her like a possession, calling her your woman when you know she is with me.”

 

At that moment, Kagome looked their way and frowned.

 

“Now look what you did, you stupid wolf,” InuYasha grumbled. “She heard us.”

 

“Not my fault she heard you, mutt face,” Kouga shot back. “You have such a big, stupid mouth.”

 

Used to their fighting, Kagome could tell InuYasha and Kougas tempers were flaring. It concerned her, that though they were both injured they might start a fight. She looked apologetically at Sango and Miroku, and headed over to them.

 

“See, now she's coming over here,” Kouga said. “Probably going to sit you because you always say the wrong things.”

 

“That's it wolf!”

 

As InuYasha launched himself at Kouga, Kagome broke into a run. The bandages wrapped around the wolf youkai and the hanyou became stained with fresh blood as they tussled on the ground.

 

“Will you two please stop it!” Kagome yelled angrily, fists clenched at her sides as she stood near them.

 

“Say it Kagome, say it!” Kouga yelled.

 

Instinctively, the hanyou flinched, but did not stop his attack. When the words did not come, they both stopped fighting in surprise.

 

“I won't do it,” Kagome said adamantly.

 

InuYasha shoved Kouga back on to the ground, and came over to Kagome.

 

“I have sworn to protect you,” InuYasha said. “But have I ever treated you like a possession?”

 

“You can't possess what I have freely chosen.”

 

InuYasha smiled.
