Jealousy Killed the Dog

“What the heck?”

At Shippou’s exclamation, his companions scrambled to join him in peering into the bone-eater’s well.  They had traveled to the secluded clearing to await Kagome’s return, so all were understandably shocked to find someone other than the miko gazing roguishly up at them from the bottom of the portal.  

“Hey, mutt-face,” Kouga greeted nonchalantly, his grin widening at Inuyasha’s outraged expression.  

“What the fuck are you doing down there, wolf-shit?!”  

“Eh, nothing much,” Kouga replied, allowing a fang to poke impishly past his lips.  He watched in amusement as Inuyasha’s face flamed, his eyes glowing with fury.  That was the moment the wolf chose to leap out of the well and speed off into the distance.  He chuckled as the hanyou’s blustering reached his ears.  So he couldn’t actually go through the well and see Kagome.  It was still fun to mess with the mutt.

As luck would have it, Kouga had chosen the perfect time for his stunt; Kagome arrived through the well not a minute later.  

“Y-you whore!”  

“Excuse me?!!!”

Inuyasha involuntary retreated a step, but he was not about to back down.  Unfortunately for him, Kagome was set on making sure he went down instead.  

“Osu—mpph!”  

“Relax, Kagome-chan,” Sango said, surprising everyone with her uncharacteristic rescue of the cringing hanyou.  “Kouga played a trick and Inuyasha was too dumb to realize it.”  

Kagome listened as Sango explained what Kouga had done, her anger morphing into understanding and then mischief, an expression which made Inuyasha very nervous.  

“Okay, Inuyasha,” she declared, “I’ll forgive you for calling me a whore if you admit that you were jealous.”  

Inuyasha gulped, taking in her triumphant smirk and the attentive stares of their friends.  Which would be less painful…

“I’d rather eat dirt!”  

“Suit yourself.  Osuwari!”  

*THUD*


A/N – This isn’t strictly canon because Kouga never learned about the well in the series, but I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to suppose that he did.
