InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Seed of doubt ❯ 1.- Seed of doubt ( Chapter 1 )

Well, I thought it was time for Kagome to make Inuyasha jealous, so I decided to play god with the characters and see what happens. Will she still have Inuyasha? Or does she think Kouga is a better option? Will Inuyasha pick Kikyo instead of her? Read and find out!

By the way, I don't own any of the characters.

Chapter 1: The seed of doubt

Kagome was running as fast as she could, as the spider youkai had chosen her as its prey, following the jewel shards that hung from her neck. Inuyasha quickly ran towards her and crossed in the path of the youkai, while Sango and Miroku rode on Kirara trying to catch up with them.

Kagome had gone into the forest in order to get some wood to light a fire, while the rest of the gang settled the camp for the night. Inuyasha was mad at her for sitting him five times in a row. After all he had only lightened the weight of her huge yellow backpack, and those books full of strange symbols weren't much help when it came to fight youkai, so what was the point in carrying them?

They argued and she had left him mumbling to himself on a tree while she went for the wood, and so when the spider youkai came for her she had been unprotected. She hadn't had time to use her bow and arrows.

The hanyou was pushed aside by one of the youkai's legs the exact moment that clumsy Kagome tripped over a fallen branch and landed on the floor.

“Kagome!!” Inuyasha shouted helplessly, trying to free himself before it was too late. The youkai readied to shot its venomous sting to Kagome but when it did so it only hit the floor. Kagome was nowhere in sight, she had disappeared in the blink of an eye engulfed by a strong wind.

“ What the…? Kouga-kun! “ she smiled at the wolf youkai that had saved her life.

“Kagome, that puppy has left you unprotected again, he shouldn't be the one to watch for your safety…” he glared at the now outraged hanyou while he held Kagome's hands “Hey you, dog ears! Why don't you get your lazy ass up and kill that overgrown bug? Even you should be able to do it!”

Inuyasha stepped between them as he hit Kouga's head. “Don't you dare touch Kagome, and I'm going to rip away that tongue of yours, you filthy flea bag!”

“Inuyasha, OSUWARI! Thank you for your help, Kouga - kun”

Luckily by that time Sango had used the Hiraikotsu to end up the spider youkai, and she and Miroku were heading towards the arguing trio while a very upset hanyou got out of an Inuyasha shaped crater.

“Wench! What the hell were you thinking about going into the fucking forest on your own?”

“Shut up, you stupid jerk, it wasn't me the one sitting on a tree being mad”

“Yeah! It wasn't you either the one being sat to hell for trying to help!”

“I was you who threw my school books into the hot spring! Don't tell me you were helping me!”

“If you wench learned how to use a bow properly instead of those fucking books I wouldn't have to be around all the time!”

“So now you're telling me you're tired up of protecting me?”

“No, I'm tired of babysitting you all the time! A real miko has to be a skilled archer!”

Kouga, Miroku and Sango were looking at the arguing couple, then at each other and then back at them. Inuyasha was frozen. Have I really said that? Kagome seemed in the verge of tears. He's thinking of Kikyo. He thinks I'm not nearly as good as she is. Anger and frustration raged inside her.

“Inuyasha, you, you…OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI!!!”

The hanyou fell face first onto the floor, as Kagome took off running in an attempt to hide her tears. Kouga took off immediately after her and Sango tried to do the same, but the houshi held her arm.

“She'll be alright; I don't think she wants too many people around right now. You can talk to her later, when she's calmed down. Now let's keep Inuyasha busy till she's ready to talk to him again” Sango just nodded. Miroku's hand went down to grab her butt then. Moments later a loud slap echoed in the forest.

Meanwhile, Kouga had caught up with Kagome and was holding her to his chest while she sobbed uncontrollably.

“That damned puppy dog… I'll tear him to pieces for doing this to you…” He snarled in an attempt to control his anger.

“It's… it's okay Kouga-kun” she tried to fight back her tears “I know he prefers Kikyo, she's a greater miko, much more powerful than I am, and his first love…”

“Yeah, and now she's an undead zombie walking around and stinking of death…” he took her face in his hands and stared directly into her eyes “Even having the doubt is the greatest prove that he's just an stupid empty headed puppy dog” Kagome giggled. Usually she wouldn't have liked that, but now she was so mad at him that she actually thought it was comical. He had a serious face now, and that wasn't at all Kouga-like.

“You know, I would never choose anybody above you, and of course I would never let anything harm you”

“Kouga-kun… Thank you so much but…I can't…Inuyasha…” She was now staring at the floor, so she didn't see it coming when Kouga held her chin up and gently met his lips with hers.

At first she was petrified, and before she knew what she was doing her instincts took over her and she kissed him back… that is, until she noticed what she was doing and pulled away.

“Kouga-kun, what…? Why did you do that?” She was still too shocked to be mad.

“Well, that might help you clear up your doubts” He had a cocky grin on his face “And plus, you didn't seem to dislike it. That should be a point for me”

“What the hell are you talking about?! I have no doubts, I…” She paused for a moment. Do I really have no doubts? I love Inuyasha, sure, but he's such a jerk and Kouga-kun is so nice and caring, and he doesn't run to another woman, he says he loves me… and that kiss felt so nice… Wait, what the hell am I thinking about, he's Kouga-kun for heaven's sake! Oh, great, I need some time alone, PLEASE!

Kouga had seen her doubtful face, and that was enough for him… for now. Plus, he knew Inuyasha would smell him all over her, and that would make him so very mad. That stupid hanyou… it was beyond him to understand how could he choose cold, dead Kikyo above the sweet and beautiful young miko he held in his arms.

“Hmm… Kouga-kun? Could you take me to the camp, please? Sango and the others will be very worried.”

“Sure, get on my back” he turned and knelt so she could climb easily and took off towards the others. They got there in a minute, but he stopped when a certain hanyou jumped in front of him from a nearby tree.

“Leave her alone, you fucking flea bag before I rip your head off your shoulders” he snapped. Kouga let Kagome down gently.

“Kagome, I'm leaving now, tell me when you decide what to do” And with that he ran back into the forest before anyone had time to react.

“Oi wench, why the hell do you smell like that piece of wolf shit?” the hanyou asked lifting one eyebrow. He could smell the wolf youkai all over her, and he didn't like it in the slightest.

Kagome didn't bother to answer and she walked past him to where Sango and Shippo were lighting the fire to cook dinner. She whispered something to Sango and they both got up and walked to Kagome's yellow backpack.

“We're going to the hot spring over there for a bath, we'll be right back” said Sango.

Inuyasha mumbled something about washing up and stinky wolves as he climbed to a branch in a nearby tree.

When they were far enough Sango turned to Kagome.

“Are you okay? You spent a long time with Kouga, you know… did anything happen?”

“Well, Sango, you see…”

How did you like it? R&R please!!!!
