Jammies2000: yeah, like I said, im a loyal kag/inu fan, im even a member of the Inu / Kag Pairing FC, lol. But yeah, the lemon with them isn't all lovey dovey and crap, its mainly to show the possessive lack of love in the relationship, to show how shallow it really is. So you can read it if you want, if not, well, either way you lose nor gain anything special. That's a good idea about sharing the pain, I'll try to work that in somehow, if I can. And inu taking away the mark is a VERY good idea, one I plan on using for sure. KIKYOU SHOULD ROT IN THE DEPTHS OF HELL….OVER AND OVER AGAIN, lol.
Chapter 5: Motorcycles and Shotguns
Inuyasha stopped a few feet infront of the well, and put kagome to her feet. She stood weakly, but still made her way to stand on the lip of the well. Inuyasha watched from where he stood, waiting to see what she was planning on doing, it would be a little strange if kagome just up and left after being threatened and challenged by Kikyou and Naraku. Kagome looked into the black depths of the well, before she turned to look at inuyasha. "well, I'm gonna need your help with this inuyasha, I don't think id be able to lift it back up the well, although I'm pretty sure it'll fit." She informed him in a quiet tone.
Inuyasha looked at her with a questioning look, "carry what kagome? You mean, you're actually gonna stand up against them?" he asked, almost astonished. Kagome scoffed, "inuyasha, it hasn't been THAT long has it? of course I'm not going to back down from a challenge, now come on. You'll know what you're carrying soon enough, now just get your ass in this god forsaken well dog boy." She said, and jumped down into the structure, shortly to be claimed in the time rift that lay open to her at the bottom. Inuyasha shrugged and followed her in.
When the soft hues of blue and purple faded, inuyasha found himself at the bottom of the well, although he knew very well that he wasn't anywhere near home. He looked around and noticed that kagome had already made her way to the top. In one fluid motion, he leapt to the ground outside the well, and let his eyes adjust to the dim light in the well house. It had been so long since he had been to Kagome's time, he got butterflies just thinking of stepping out of the small wooden structure. With a sniff of the nose however, he realized he may not have to, kagome was still in the well house.
He looked behind him, and peered behind the steps that led up the platform infront of the door. kagome was heaving and huffing as if she was struggling with something. finally she emerged pushing a large…something from under the platform. Inuyasha didn't know what it was, since it was covered in a tarp, but it was big, bigger than her stupid pink bike she always made him tote around for her. Kagome leaned it against the well and sighed in achievement. "I don't know why my mom insists on keeping this down here, I have to get a ramp in here just to get it back outside." She mumbled, and then looked up to inuyasha. "well, don't just stand there all day, get this thing through the well, and DON'T drop it dammit! This thing cost a lot of yen, believe me." She said, waving a finger infront of his face.
"I have to go grab something from the house, when I get back, I expect to see both you and this thing gone, got it? I'm in a hurry." She said as she ran up the stairs, and threw open the sliding doors of the well house. Inuyasha stared after her for a moment, and finally shook his head to get his thoughts goin again. He put one arm under the large object, and one on the top. He picked it up, noticing that it weighed a good amount more than her little pink bike. He pointed it down the well, and let go, quickly jumping on top of it so that it was sure to go through, and not crash into the ground.
Both him and his cargo landed softly on the other side, and he maneuvered the thing over his head and out of the well. As soon as he leaned the thing against a nearby tree, he felt Kagome's presence again, and turned to the well to see her lifting herself out already. She walked over to him, readjusting the strap that hung across her chest, going between her breasts. "What's that thing kagome?" inuyasha asked curiously. Kagome smirked at him, "you remember the thing I shot you with yesterday?"
Inuyasha cringed as his leg throbbed, "eh, yeah, why?" he asked hesitantly. "Well this here, is her big brother. It's what we call a shotgun, very powerful weapon in my time, and combined with my miko powers, it will make Kikyou's arrows look like flying, dull chopsticks." She stated proudly. "Whatever you say kagome, just don't point that thing at me."
She narrowed her eyes down at him, "if you're a good boy then maybe I wont have to." She said dryly, and inuyasha gave a nervous laugh. She huffed and then smiled, "okay then, lets get this baby unveiled then, shall we?" she said happily, walking over to the large object that currently was supported up by the tree. She grabbed at the underside of the tarp, and then pulled it off. Inuyasha stared blankly at the large green thing, that rather resembled her old pink bike, but a LOT bigger, and scary looking. "what in the seven hells is that thing?" he asked.
"Actually there's nine levels of hell, but, THIS is my pride and joy. Its called a dirtbike, it's a KX 125, '05, top of the line! And its only been ridden a few times so far, this thing kicks ass, and is faster than I think even you can run." She said excitedly, and inuyasha scowled at the last remark. "Faster than me huh? We'll just see about that."
"Alright then, I'll start her up, and test her out on this new terrain. This aught to be fun, no fences, and no fucking rangers!" she said happily as she threw one leg over the seat of the bike. She leaned down to the left side and turned on the gas, and then pulled out the choke. She leaned to the other side and folded out the kick starter, and placed her right foot on top of it. she slammed it down a couple of times, the last time the engine turned and she gave it gas.
Inuyasha's ears folded to the back of his head when she revved the engine again, and the high-pitched noise of the 2-stroke engine filled the forest. Kagome smiled wider as she warmed up the engine. She put her sunglasses on to keep the wind out of her eyes, and turned to smile at the wincing inuyasha. "Scared yet? I'm surprised you haven't ripped me away from this and torn it to pieces, you were scared of that picture machine in my time, but you're damn right terrified of this thing aren't ya?" she asked while smirking, and inuyasha stood straight again, catching himself and picking his jaw from the floor.
"keh, whatever, now lets get going," he said as he sped past her, Kagome's hair whipping over her face with the force of his passing. She turned to his direction and lifted an eyebrow at him, not making any move to follow. Inuyasha began to slow and then walked slowly until he stopped and turned around. "oy wench, where is it that we're going anyways?" he asked sheepishly.
Kagome gave a small laughing smirk, "I can sense that Kouga is very much awake, and searching for me, so I think we should be heading over there." She said as she revved the engine again. Inuyasha's nostrils flared and he gave her a deep scowl, he still hated the idea of her being with him, and him being able to touch her however, whenever he pleased, not realizing that must have been how kagome felt when he took Kikyou.
Kagome pulled in the clutch, and pushed on the shifter, taking it out of neutral and into first gear. She expertly released the clutch while giving it gas, and she took off in the direction of the flustered hanyou. As she shifted into fourth gear, inuyasha jumped into he trees to avoid the fast and loud contraption kagome was charging him with. He looked at her retreating and laughing form, and gave a small smirk as he took off after her.
Kagome leaned forward on the bike, keeping a keen eye for any rocks or other dangers. She was having the time of her life as she sped through the virgin land, going about 80 in fifth gear, top end. When she came to small hills or ledges and would launch off them into the air, joining inuyasha for a few seconds at a time. They quickly came upon the wolf princes domain, and made a beeline up the hill towards the Lords cave. As they approached the top of the hill, kagome flew over the top and made a fluid landing on the small slope that descended into the cave. She slowed to a stop after scaring her `brothers' and `sisters' nearly to an early grave.
Inuyasha reluctantly followed her in, and stood next to her with a deep scowl on his face as he inhaled the scent of wolf. Kagome made her way to the back of the dwelling, and soon came to a fur curtain, and moved it aside. She stepped back and gasped. Inuyasha moved to her side to look at what had startled her, and his eyes widened.
Kouga was wounded, his chest bandaged, as well as his legs. He was unconscious, or at least he better be, was what kagome was thinking. Ayame, one of the wolf tribes princesses, was by his side, or rather, on his side. She was laying with him, one leg across his, and she was running her tongue over the tip of his ear, and down his jawline.
"you bitch! Get the hell away from my man!" kagome screamed at the oblivious girl. The girl jumped at the angry female voice and her eyes bolted to the source of it. her horrified green eyes saw kagome, miko powers beginning to swirl in her defense, and the shocked, yet smiling hanyou, who apparently found the scene quite funny.
"ka-kagome? But, but I didn't know you were his mate, I thought that it was a one-night stand and the woman had abandoned him! I swear it kagome." She pleaded.
"yeah right bitch, you're just a slut who's infatuated with my mate, now remove your presence from my domain before I remove it for you." Kagome seethed, and inuyasha looked over at her and frowned. Kagome had just accepted Kouga as her mate, and had already accepted his land as hers as well.
Ayame jumped up and began to run out of the small corner. As she passed kagome, kagome turned and grabbed one of her pigtails, yanking her back beside her. "what the fuck happened to Kouga?"
"A-A Miko I believe, she attacked him while he was on his way back here. I don't see how he could have been defeated so easily, he should have been more alert than that. I found his scent mingled with blood, so I followed it and found him like this. I took him back and bandaged his wounds, and that…that's when you and Inuyasha arrived." She stuttered.
Kagome thought for a moment before pushing the wolf demoness away from her, and out of the room. "But kagome, why didn't you sense that he was in danger?" inuyasha asked. Kagome stood in thought for a moment longer, "if what miss Slut said was true, then Kouga must have been caught off guard, he didn't even have time to register the fact that he was being attacked, so there wouldn't have been any adrenaline or fear for me to sense." She said as she lowered herself to Kouga's side, and lightly brushed his cheek.
The wolf prince began to stir and kagome withdrew her hand. Kouga opened his eyes, and focused them on the face above him. "kagome? Kagome is that you? What happened, I woke up this morning, and you were gone. I cant remember much from last night at all, but it must have been great cause I was sore all over." He said groggily, still delirious apparently.
Kagome looked down at him, and gave a small smile. He tried to sit up, but immediately fell back onto the ground. "What the hell happened to me, why cant I move and why do I smell my own blood?" he asked through clenched teeth. Kagome frowned, he really wasn't going to be of much help. She already knew that it was Kikyou that had attacked him, but he didn't know why, or where she had gone too afterwards.
Kagome stood and walked over to where inuyasha still stood. "Kouga, I am going to go and face Kikyou, the one who did this to you. While I was gone this morning, she attacked me as well, so I think its safe to say that she's waiting for me to retaliate. You have to stay here though, you're too badly wounded, I'm sorry." She told him, barely a hint of emotion in her face, but her eyes flashed with a rage laced in sorrow.
Kouga looked up at her incredulously, "there's no way in hell I'm staying here while my mate takes off to her death, no offense kagome, but there's no way you could stand against Naraku AND Kikyou, maybe one on one, but not against the both of them."
Kagome looked at him questioningly, "how did you know that Kikyou was affiliated with Naraku?" she asked.
"because right before I was knocked out, I remember getting a whiff of that bastards scent, it came from the east, but I shook it off as my imagination, it was faint." He said as he tried to remember in greater detail what happened to him. Kagome nodded to inuyasha, now they had a lead.
Kouga sighed heavily, gaining the rooms attention, "kagome…if you really have your heart set on revenge, I guess I cant stop you. I'm not even going to ask when or why you decided to join up with inuyasha again, but I do know that I trust him to protect you, always have, maybe not as far as your heart goes, but physically he's always been there for you. But in any case, I will be sending back up to help you. I will only send the strongest fighters I know." He said softly.
Kagome smiled and her eyes burned with tears, she hadn't been overcome with emotion in a longtime, and she immediately removed her smile before she felt anymore out of character. Kouga called to a wolf that slept in the corner of the small room, and it instantly got up and came to its master's side. "This is Kyuni, she is my messenger, she will retrieve all the backup you need." He said as he smiled at the snow-white wolf. He growled something to her, and she yipped in return, then bolted past the standing couple.
Inuyasha and kagome stared after the wolf in confusion as they watched her run past all the other pack members, and out of the cave. Kagome turned back to Kouga, and knelt next to him again, "arigatou, Kouga." She said softly as she leaned in and kissed him one last time. "the only way I can help you not to worry about me though, is to temporarily numb the connection of our bond." She said sadly as she placed a hand over the mark on her shoulder, and her hand glowed softly.
Kouga and kagome winced and clenched their teeth as their shoulders began to sting, and then went completely numb. Kouga opened his eyes to look up at her, distress and worry clearly written in his piercing blue eyes. Kagome gave him a weak smile, and then stood, walking back over to inuyasha, who was now staring at the floor. "Be careful koibito, I don't want to lose you again." He called sadly.
Kagome turned to him and gave him another sad smile, "I'll be careful Kouga, don't worry." She said softly, then she turned and walked out, followed by inuyasha, who gave Kouga one last nod before exiting.
`if you fail to protect her, I swear you'll pay inuyasha, you took her from me once, and I'll be damned if you do it again and get away with it.' Kouga thought before passing out again.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha and kagome raced towards the east, inuyasha searching for Naraku's scent, while kagome searched for the soul that Kikyou and her shared. Neither were getting a feel for what they were searching for, and the sun was quickly retreating.
"Dammit, they must be concealing their trails." Inuyasha said in frustration. Kagome was beginning to slow on her bike, beginning to tire out, mentally and physically. "inuyasha, I have to stop and rest, I'm still more human than you are." She yelled over the sound of her bike.
Inuyasha turned back to her and stopped. Kagome rode up next to him, she pulled in the clutch as the bike stopped, and then let it out and the bike lurched forward before stalling and turning off. Inuyasha looked at her as she breathed heavily, trying to regain her composure, but finding it difficult after riding over changing terrain for the past 3 hours straight. `it's a good thing that I put a larger gas tank on this thing for trail rides, but I don't think its even going to make it back with what's left, I only have 2 extra gallons on me.' She noted to herself.
"you stay here and rest kagome, I'm going to go up a little further, just over the hills over there, and check for any signs of them. I'm sure you wouldn't like to camp here for the night, while Naraku and Kikyou were so close." He said.
She looked up to him and thought for a moment, her breathing slowing, "yeah, that's a good idea inuyasha, you do that." she agreed. Inuyasha put his hand to her wind teased hair, and ran his fingers through it as he looked over her face, and finally rested on her eyes. "you be careful kagome, I'll be back as soon as I can." He said reassuringly.
Kagome smiled at him, "okay, now go! You're burning daylight here. Don't worry, I can take care of myself." She told him.
"Alright, fine, be a bitch." He said teasingly, and then turned and took off towards the hills to the east. Kagome watched as his figure disappeared when he entered the forest at the base of the mountain. She sighed as she pulled her sore body off of the motorcycle, and leaned it against a large boulder in the clearing she was in.
She took off the large black trench that she had been wearing, and laid it out on the ground, and then rested her body on top of it. She watched as the sky to the east grew darker, and she couldn't help but feel that something just wasn't right.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kyuni ran through forest and brush towards her destination. She could see the slayers village approaching in the distance. As she reached its gates however, she broke left and ran up into the hills surrounding the village. She came upon a small den, and entered. She went down into the depths of it until she saw a faint light. She entered the small room, and found the one she had been sent to find.
"who are you?" came the high pitched voice of the boy. Kyuni yelped in return, giving him her message. The young fox child gasped and dropped the food he had been holding. "okasan…" he whispered, and Kyuni tilted her head in confusion. "where is she? Where's kagome? Is she in trouble?" he asked anxiously.
Kyuni told him all that she knew, and when she was done, the two bolted out of the den and raced down the hills towards the slayers village. `Sango, Miroku…we're all going to be together again, I've waited and hoped for this since the day she left us.' He thought happily, although not knowing that inuyasha would also be apart of that group, Kyuni being under strict orders not to reveal that to him as of yet.
Japanese:
Koibito: lover, sweetheart
Suteki: sooo? What you think? I know my chapters just seem to be getting shorter and shorter. I'm sorry if Ayame was OOC, I've actually never seen the episodes when she enters the story, and I've only read a few fics where she's in them, so I have a basic idea of what she's like. I don't know if she would really be afraid of kagome, so, sorry if she didn't seem like herself. But, review and tell me what you thought! Arigatou, ja ne~! ;)
