Eyes to Life: Scroll 13

Kagome felt her head spin as InuYasha's hand slammed on her chest so hard she thought he would squeeze every breathe she had out of her. She could sense his youki rise to tremendous levels it was making her nausea's. His hissing didn't help.

 

Kouga had looked shocked, then confused, then angry. When Kagome heard that Kouga didn't recognize InuYasha, she knew this could get ugly quick. InuYasha and Kouga really only 'play' fight, fighting over her and the most amusing ways. InuYasha would blow off an insult and then Kouga; InuYasha would never really injure Kouga, would he?

 

InuYasha's ears were flat on his head, the two red eyes stared menacing at Kouga, his fangs poked out of his mouth like he was going to transform into…Kagome felt her body go numb.

 

"InuYasha…" Kagome felt her voice had no real strength behind it. "It's okay, it's just Kouga." Maybe he just jumped at what ever youkai that came to close, but Kagome knew that wasn't the case; InuYasha was guarding her, from Kouga.

 

InuYasha had made the position impossible to wiggle out of, his hand was large enough to hold her entire upper body very still, the armor on her head, kept her head up and straight, straining her neck, and there was going to be no 'osuwari' him here. The position he might have planned out perfect, for if Kagome even uttered the word, his body would easily kill her on impact.

 

Miroku and Sango had taken a few steps back, Shippo chattering his teeth, clinging to Sango's leg. Miroku looked defensive and stepped in front of Sango. Kirara bristled up, her fur making her look twice her size, she growled warningly, though Kagome couldn't tell who she was growling at.

 

Sesshomaru had whipped his head at the horrible hissing noise InuYasha had made, and rested his hand on the hilt of Tokijin, but surprisingly he said nothing, but stared at the situation with blank eyes. Rin and Jaken had hid behind Ah-Un, Rin's curiosity as she peeked over one of Ah-Un's head. Jaken was shaking head to toe, his staff shaking in his small hands.

 

Kouga slowly stood up from his battle position and took a sniff. His face crunched up in confusion. "That you mutt? It can't be..."

 

"Kouga please, I don't know what came over him..." Kagome started as she tried to protect the wolf, but InuYasha hiss silenced her. "InuYasha, what on earth is the matter with you?"

 

"Be quiet mate." His voice sounded like he was talking in such anger, it made Kagome feel extremely afraid. She wasn't afraid of him hurting her, she was afraid of him hurting Kouga.

 

"I thought you were a pathetic hanyou mutt!" Kouga spat.

 

"You thought wrong." InuYasha hissed.

 

"Please InuYasha, stop I don't want you two to fight." Kagome pleaded. InuYasha slowly pulled one ear up, but his posture stayed the same, his hand clutching into her chest so fiercely, Kagome felt one of the claws start pushing her skin to where it would surly start bleeding.

 

"InuYasha…" Kagome heard Sango stutter. InuYasha flickered his red eyes in her direction, but said nothing. Kagome turned to her exterminator friend and gave a confused look.

 

"What's going on Sango?" Kagome asked. Sango looked down and fidgeted with her Hiraikotsu; she sighed and closed her eyes.

 

"Kagome…InuYasha's your mate, he's protecting…" Sango stopped. And looked down even further, "What's his…" Kagome felt her face go red. She looked up at InuYasha and frowned.

 

"Okay buster, let me tell you again." Kagome huffed. "You better listen too Kouga, I'm not property damn it!" Kagome rarely cursed, but it was necessary to get InuYasha's attention in the current state he was in.

 

InuYasha really didn't respond to her, his eyes were slowly fading to gold, but his hand remained firm on her chest.

 

"I'm not calling you property Kagome." Kouga said, "Looks like mutt's the one treating you in such a wrongly manner."

 

"Why you…" InuYasha hissed his eyes shot back to red, and he cracked his claws on his free hand.

 

"InuYasha, seriously you're overreacting!" Kagome yelled.

 

"Be silent bitch." Kagome froze at the statement. What did he just call her? Kagome felt her anger boil, okay that's it! Kagome slammed her heel of her loafers into InuYasha's foot. It had worked in the past, his foot didn't even move; let show any motion that she had hurt him.

 

"InuYasha!"

 

"What the fuck do you mean by mate mutt!" Kouga hissed. "I was here a few days ago, and I smelled you were still quiet…should I say, stale!"

 

"Wolf…" InuYasha's hair was slowly standing up, making him look extremely threatening. The unnatural hissing was still leaking from his mouth and his hand still locked to her like a key to a key hole. Kagome realized she had no other way out of this, she pretended to faint. She slumped in InuYasha's arm and went slack. InuYasha immediately reacted.

 

"Kagome!" InuYasha yelled.

 

"She's mine mutt!" Kagome heard a loud 'whoosh' and a slash of claws. And a large body move away from her. Kagome snapped her eyes, now free from InuYasha's embrace; she looked at the now new problem.

 

InuYasha and Kouga had both of their claws ready to slice each others face off. Kouga jumped back and used his speed to rebound his jump at InuYasha, but InuYasha had gained speed himself and sliced right as Kouga's leg flew by. It hit.

 

Kagome gasped as some blood came off Kouga's leg. Kouga hissed in anger. "You won't get another lucky shot again shit-face!"

 

"I'll kill you mongrel!" InuYasha spat.

 

"STOP!" Kagome shouted at the top of her lungs. She began to run towards the two male youkai when she felt a rough hand grab her on the upper arm. "Hey! Let me go!" Kagome turned to see Sesshomaru glaring down at her.

 

"Do not interfere miko, your future mate will claim you shortly."

 

"No I will not let them fight a death match over me!" Kagome hissed. She tried to jerk out of the daiyoukai's arms, but his firm grip was strong. "Get off me Sesshomaru!"

 

"Kagome you shouldn't interfere." Kagome blinked and stared at Miroku and Sango. Sango had spoken. "When two male youkai fight over a mate, it is to the death, and you shouldn't interfere, you might get killed if you do."

 

"No!" Kagome protested. "That is the utmost ridiculous I've heard of!" Kagome felt Sesshomaru's grip had slacken just a tad and Kagome took advantage and burst free of his grip.

 

InuYasha, for some reason, had not pulled out Tessaiga; he was playing with Kouga, attacking him like an animal that only knew how to use claws. He swung again, and as Kagome got closer, she realized InuYasha's blows were getting closer and closer to taking Kouga's life.

 

Sucking in a quick breathe. "OSUWARI!" Kagome shouted, as InuYasha slammed full force into the ground. Kouga turned around, and smirked.

 

"Well, well, she picked me after all." Kouga gave Kagome a glance.

 

"No I didn't Kouga!" Kagome shouted, and jumped in front of the crater InuYasha was buried in. "I didn't 'choose' anyone! I don't want you fighting over it that's all!"

 

"Miko…" Sesshomaru warned.

 

"Look I don't care about youkai mating and their fights; I don't want anyone dying because of my decision!" Kagome snapped back at the daiyoukai. "Why lose a life when I fully gave my opinion!"

 

"BITCH!" Kagome froze as she felt the familiar hand grab her again and slam her to him. InuYasha looked down at her, his red eyes furious. "What the fuck do you think you are doing?"

 

"I'm trying to stop a pointless fight!" Kagome shouted back. "Get off me! You have gone way over board!"

 

"He's threatening you!" InuYasha protested.

 

"He was just holding my hands like he always did!" Kagome snapped. "What changed about that now? Hue?"

 

"Because he will not touch you anymore!" InuYasha growled sinking all five claws to keep her in place. Kagome froze, why was he acting like this?

 

"InuYasha I thought we had an agreement!" Kagome snapped.

 

"And what agreement is that?" InuYasha sneered, his voice slithering low.

 

"That you would remain a hanyou in here!" Kagome slammed her fist on his chest, really only sending pain shooting up her own wrist. "You agreed!"

 

InuYasha flicked an ear in response. His eyes were still flickering, but his release loosened and Kagome burst free.

 

"Kami InuYasha, what has gotten into you?" Kagome took a deep breathe. "You never had fought in such an extreme with Kouga, taking back the exception on when you first met."

 

"Kagome can't you tell he's youkai?" Kouga asked.

 

"I know, it happened a few days ago." Kagome sighed.

 

"Don't tell that filthy flea bag nothing." InuYasha spat.

 

"InuYasha…don't make me say it again."

 

"Kagome, you realize what you did was extremely dangerous?" Sango said as she and Miroku walked up.

 

"Sigh…I know, but it was necessary." Kagome sighed.

 

InuYasha growled in annoyance, his eyes watching Kouga's every move with his red eyes. He cracked his claws again and spat on the ground.

 

"Touch her again wolf, I'll eat you."

 

"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled.

 

"Oh yea, bring it you filthy mutt!" Kouga hissed.

 

"Stop it! For the love of the Kami's stop it!" Kagome yelled. She grabbed InuYasha's beads and jerked him eye level with her. "If you don't…" Kagome took a deep breathe staring at InuYasha straight in the eyes, "I will make sure you won't see the sun again."

 

InuYasha flattened his ears and his eyes returned to gold, he nodded slowly. Kagome released him. InuYasha backed away and ended up behind Sesshomaru.

 

"Fuck that women is scary sometimes." InuYasha muttered.

 

"Otouto, what are you doing behind this Sesshomaru?"

 

"Hiding from the women from Hell." InuYasha answered back. Sesshomaru tried to hold back a small chuckle, but let his eyes slide back to the miko.

 

Kagome closed her eyes and turned to Kouga. "So was there something you want Kouga?" she asked as if the fire around her had turned into an innocent angel.

 

"I…uhhh…" Kouga started to sweat when he stared at her. "Yea an explanation."

 

"Wolf…" InuYasha hissed.

 

"InuYasha." Kagome snapped. InuYasha quickly turned around and became quiet.

 

"I must say, sometimes Kagome is scarier then any youkai." Shippo shivered.

 

"I agree." Miroku nodded. "Though somehow, it proved to be a good thing to."

 

"Kagome, I thought you…" Kouga looked down.

 

"You thought wrong asshole!" InuYasha growled.

 

"InuYasha stop it." Kagome said.

 

"No! Fuck it Kagome, you just don't understand do you!" InuYasha sneered.

 

"How dare you talk to her like that mutt-face!" Kouga spat.

 

"How dare you touch her!" InuYasha spat back.

 

"Stop it both of you!" Kagome snapped, but she realized that InuYasha had already put aside the fear he had a moment ago and started to advance toward Kouga, with a menacing glare in his eyes.

 

"InuYasha stop it!" Kagome shouted and ran into him, grabbing on his armor and clinging to him for dear life. "Stop it, stop it!"

 

InuYasha looked down. "Kagome I'm protecting you from him!"

 

"He's not threatening me InuYasha!"

 

"Mutt, I challenge your mating with her!" Kagome felt InuYasha's posture go stiff, and she heard Sango gasp. InuYasha slowly straightened his back.

 

"Do you?" InuYasha asked his voice extremely cold.

 

"No Kouga!" Kagome protested. "Will you two drop it I…" Kagome stopped when she saw the look in InuYasha's eyes. They were cold, so cold the resembled Sesshomaru, but even his didn't look this cold. InuYasha's lip moved up slightly, revealing one long fang.

 

InuYasha took her shoulder slightly and pulled her off of him; he advanced slowly and put a hand on Tessaiga's hilt. "I accept."

 

"I don't!" Kagome hissed. She felt her heart skip a beat as she saw the two, give each other extremely cold looks.

 

"I almost did back down mutt, since you are youkai, and probably protect Kagome better, but she still would be better off with me." Kouga smirked.

 

"Think again wolf, she won't need you, only your head." InuYasha growled.

 

"Kami stop—"

 

"Miko, do not interfere." Sesshomaru interrupted her tyrant.

 

Kagome felt her body go slump, she couldn't let this happen, but why was everyone disagreeing with her?

 

InuYasha cracked his claws, his eyes red, shot in a way of telling he was going to kill Kouga with out mercy.

 

"You still want me Shikon shards don't you mutt?" Kouga sneered. "Well, I'm keeping them, and taking what's mine back!"

 

"She was never yours-" InuYasha froze; his ears shot up and grabbed Tessaiga's hilt fast. His eye veered away from Kouga over to his right, he hissed, viscous.

 

"Mutt, I'm over here!" Kouga veered up and aimed a slamming kick towards InuYasha's head, but InuYasha dodged the death kick easily and ran straight ahead, but he didn't stop.

 

"You're running away?" Kouga hissed. Kagome watched as InuYasha ripped out the fang and slammed it in front of him, the Kaza no Kizu came shooting out, no where near Kouga.

 

"What are you doing InuYasha?" Miroku frowned.

 

"Get back here you rodent!" InuYasha yelled, his head scanning the woods ahead. Kagome frowned.

 

"What the hell is his deal?" Kouga asked. He looked in Kagome's direction.

 

"Kouga please…" Kagome ran up and grabbed the wolf's arm. "Please stop fighting with him, for me?"

 

Kouga looked down at her, and she gave the best innocent look she could give.

 

"Are you controlling him or something?" Kouga yelped and jumped away from her. Kagome actually laughed at Kouga's assumption.

 

"No I…" Kagome dropped the smile and looked at InuYasha, he had disappeared. "InuYasha!"

 

Sesshomaru immediacy jumped away from them all and landed in the small clearing InuYasha had stood just a second ago. "Wolf is any of your pack here?"

 

"No!" Kouga snapped. "They probably still two days behind!"

 

"Could it be that youkai…again?" Sango asked.

 

"What youkai?" Kouga asked.

 

"InuYasha claims he senses and sees a youkai he can only see or smell." Shippo said.

 

"InuYasha!" Kagome shouted, when she felt a loud 'whoosh' and InuYasha just dropped from no where and landed almost on his back, but caught his balance and stood up.

 

"What the fuck are you! A fucking vulture! I am not your mouse!" InuYasha growled, his youki enlarging quite rapidly.

 

"InuYasha!" Kagome ran and felt the tears slide down her cheeks as she grabbed him, holding on to him for dear life. InuYasha stopped and put a hand on her head.

 

"Kagome?" She looked up at him and smiled, but she did see a small scratch on his cheek, with some blood starting to drop down his cheek.

 

"You okay?" Kagome asked as she reached up and flicked some blood away.

 

"Yea, he just snatched me like a bird." InuYasha grumbled, "He's so fucking fast."

 

"Exactly how did you land?" Miroku asked.

 

"I…" InuYasha looked down, "Flew?"

 

"This Sesshomaru sees." Sesshomaru calmly walked over.

 

InuYasha flattened his ears. "So?"

 

"Flight InuYasha, can not be achieved as a hanyou." Sesshomaru stared.

 

"Yea, I think I knew that." InuYasha spat.

 

"Mutt…" Kouga crossed his arm.

 

"You still fell like dying?" InuYasha cracked his claws.

 

"No mutt, I don't." Kouga snorted. "Kagome, is this, what you truly want?"

 

"Yes Kouga," Kagome sighed, "We can still be friends, I just don't want neither one of you dying, it just wouldn't be right having one friend kill another."

 

"Kagome…" InuYasha started.

 

"No! InuYasha why don't…" Kagome let out a yelp when InuYasha's hand came crashing down on her clutching her to his chest, and jumping a good distance.

 

"You missed fucker!" InuYasha spat. Kagome blinked, Kouga hadn't moved, then who…? Kagome looked up at her mate, to find him starting angrily up at the sky, his ears flat and his fangs slowly curving out of his mouth.

 

"Otouto, what are you talking to?" Sesshomaru glared.

 

"Why?" InuYasha glared at all of them. "Why can't you smell, sense anything!"

 

"InuYasha, there is no youki to sense." Miroku said.

 

"Are you kidding me!" InuYasha growled, "It's all over this clearing!"

 

"Arrogant fool." Kagome turned to see Jaken shaking his head, and Rin standing next to him, her face printed with confusion. Ah-Un was lying on his side, shaking his mane.

 

"You…" InuYasha hissed, but stopped his eyes became big, and before Kagome could react he was on the other side of the clearing swinging his claws at the trees that lay right behind Rin. Rin let out a cry and fell, just as InuYasha slashed down a good five trees, but nothing stood there.

 

Sesshomaru's brow shot down and slammed a fist into the back of InuYasha's head. "If those had hit Rin..." the daiyoukai started.

 

"I wasn't aiming for her baka!" InuYasha growled and rubbed his head.

 

"Then what were you aiming for?" Sango asked.

 

"Fuck you all!" InuYasha spat. "You all are useless if you're not helping me!"

 

"InuYasha…" Kagome said. InuYasha stopped and stared at her, his face stood stone angry and swung his claws, slicing a near by tree.

 

"Bastard got away from me." He hissed.

 

"Mutt, how the hell did you become a youkai?" Kouga crossed his arms. "Don't tell me you used Shikon shards."

 

"No." InuYasha gave the wolf youkai an angry sneer.

 

"You better give me a good reason mutt, or I'll take up the challenge again." Kouga hissed.

 

"Kouga!" Kagome protested.

 

"Look wolf, I have more important things to worry about then you. Kagome and I are mates, deal with it or lose your head." InuYasha griped.

 

"Kuh, what's so important?" Kouga spat, "If it's about Naraku then I want to know."

 

"Well, I'm trying to find that as we speak." InuYasha spat. He sniffed the air and shook his head and grumbled. "Where the fuck did my Tessaiga go?"

 

"You must have dropped it InuYasha, when you took a disappearance trip." Miroku stuttered.

 

"I didn't disappear Miroku, I was grabbed." InuYasha gave the houshi a look. "And I didn't take it lightly."

 

"InuYasha…" Kagome turned to see Sango and Kirara standing on top of the hill. Sango's face dropped and then stared at the daiyoukai in plain fear. "How did this happen?"

 

InuYasha frowned. "How did what happen?" He jumped up next to Sango and looked down, his face becoming extremely white. "Oh…shit."

 

"InuYasha, what happened?" Kagome panicked and ran grabbing him by the sleeve of his kimono. She looked down and almost felt her feet slid from under her. Not again, Kagome thought in horror.

 

Sesshomaru came up behind InuYasha and stared, then at InuYasha. "Did you do that on purpose otouto?"

 

"No!" InuYasha gagged.

 

"Oh my…" Miroku sighed. "It looks like were going on a detour now."

 

"Yea, to Totosai's place." Sango mumbled. InuYasha hissed and sank his fist into a tree.

 

"Bastard, how could he do that, with just his claws?" InuYasha sank his claws into his palm until the punctured his skin and small blood dripped down his arm.

 

Kagome gulped and looked at InuYasha and then back at the fang that all of them had surrounded. Tessaiga, had been cut in half, and there was not shattering derby, it had been cut, one smooth line cutting the powerful fang into two.
