Tortures of a Hanyou

Chapter Three "The Wolf's Out Of The Bag"

Fucking brother. Granted, a part of him was greatful his brother had shown up and alerted him when he did, but that still didn't mean he didn't want to kick his ass. Now he was stuck trying to come up with a way to explain himself to the others.
That was if he intended to do that. And he didn't. So that solved that problem. They would be suspiscious of him, but they would have to learn to deal with that. In the meantime, he had more important matters to think about.
Sesshoumaru had a point, as much as Inuyasha hated to admit it to himself. So long as Kagome was in heat, she was in danger. If she were a normal human girl, it would be different. He might be affected to a certain degree, having been around her so long, but no where as bad off as he was now.
Plus the threat of demons stalking her wouldn't even have been a factor. The fact was, Kagome was a powerful human. Being a miko ensured she would birth not only powerful whelps, but given her looks, handsome ones at that.
Course Inuyasha would rip apart any demon that even thought of laying his filthy claws on her. Piece by bloody piece. Dog demons were dangerously territorial, especially when it came to a mate. And he had long since given up arguing with himself.
He wanted to mate with her. He wanted to make her his bitch, and only his bitch. He wanted her belly to swell with his pups and his pups alone. And he wanted her all to himself. And he wanted the right to kill any who threatened or harmed her.
Then again, he was already doing that wasn't he? All the times he saved her life during battles. Keh. But that was beside the point. She was the only one whom he had ever let get this close to him. He hadn't loved someone this unconditionally since his mother. And that was many many years ago. A lot had changed since then. Including himself.
"Inuyasha? Come on, stop already. What is going on? Where are we going? And what did Sesshoumaru mean? Inuyasha? Inuyasha! Answer me!" His ears twitched as Kagome's demands, though his mouth remained closed. He had no intention of slipping up his chances now.
"Hm. Very odd. Do you have any thoughts on the matter Lady Sango? Perhaps what has been going on with Inuyasha lately?" Miroku asked. Sango kept her brown eyes on the back of his silver hair, pausing before closing her eyes.
"Actually yes. But it is not of my business to say" Sango replied.
Instantly Inuyasha stopped walking, sweatdropping as he turned around, stomping up to the female exterminator. He growled down at her in agitation.
"You know nothing wench!"
"Actually I do. Don't get your hanori in a twist Inuyasha. I don't plan to say anything. But keep threatening me and I promise you I will make an ecception" Sango said coolly. Narrowing his eyes, Inuyasha whirled back around and continued stomping angrily through the forest, letting the others keep up on their own.
Watching the display, Kagome's confusion merely grew. So Sango knew what was going on? And no one was gonna tell her? Cletching her fists at her side, she finally reached her breaking point. It was one thing for Inuyasha to be an ass. She was used to that. It was another to have a reason for it, and not tell her, even when another of their friends did.
"Inuyasha! Sit boy!"
Golden eyes widened suddenly in surprise as a yelp was heard just before Inuyasha's face met the unyielding ground beneathe him. He cursed loudly through the dirt in his mouth as he fumed.
"What the HELL was that for you fucking bitch?!" Inuyasha snarled.
"One, don't you dare call me a bitch! Two, you're keeping something from me! What is it? I have a right to know Inuyasha. What's going on?" Kagome cried down at him. Inuyasha mumbled something under his breathe, but Kagome couldn't make out one word.
"Inuyasha! You-"
"Shut the hell up bitch! I'm NOT telling you, get over it!" Inuyasha cried, jumping up once the spell finally wore off. Inwardly he winced at the anger and pain in her eyes as she looked at him before shaking her head and turning to the other two.
"I'm going home. Please look after Shippou Sango. I don't know when I'll be back." She bit her lip as she slung her bag over her shoulder and started walking away. Inuyasha groaned as he shook his head.
This was just what he wanted after all. The wench going back to the safety of her own time. It was for the best but of course his instincts were going haywire. His youkai was demanding he make her stay, and of course, he too wanted her to stay, but still. It was for her own good.
Suddenly, Inuyasha's eyes widened as the scent of wolf reached his nose. And not just any wolf. With a snarl he leapt into the air and landed infront of Kagome just as a whirl wind tornado tore out of the forest and haulted, the brown wolf prince himself smirking as he stepped forward out of it.
"Hello Inukuro. Ah! Kagome!" He stepped around Inuyasha before the hanyou could stop him, wrapping his arm around Kagome's waist and pulling her against his chest as the startled girl blinked in surprise.
"Ah, at last, Kagome I'm glad I was passing by when I found your scent. Come, I'll take you back to my den and you can be my woman, now that you're ready. I don't trust that filty half breed around you." Kouga said with a charming smirk.
Kagome sweatdropped, laughing nervously as she blinked up at Kouga.
"Um..hi Kouga-kun-"
"Wolf. Get. Your. Hands. Off. Her. Now." Inuyasha's eyes flickered red as he snarled at the brown wolf. The sight of his Kagome in the weakling wolf's arms was infuriating.
"Eh? Go bark up a tree puppy." Turning his attention back to Kagome, he smirked as he leaned his head in, nuzzling her side. "Mm. Come on, I'll take you away from the loser. You'll make a fine mate Kagome." Kagome blushed deeply as she sweatdropped, placing her hand on his chest and trying to push herself away from him to free herself.
"Eh, I told you Kouga-kun.I mean..eh..I'm flattered, but...um..heh" Kagome began.
"BUT she has better taste than wolf" Inuyasha snapped, wretching Kagome from Kouga's arms and pushing her back behind him. Kouga narrowed his eyes as he crossed his now empty arms over his chest.
"Keep dreaming puppy. You know perfectly well I would come for her when she was ready. No better time like now. So why don't you just run off, with your tail between your legs now? Go play fetch or something" Waving his hand demisivly at Inuyasha, Kouga smirked at Inuyasha's eye twitched, a low snarl coming from his lips.
"This is gonna get ugly." Miroku said softly, leaning in next to Sango. The exterminator glanced at Kagome before closing her eyes and nodding. Kagome blinked in confusion at the other two before her attention was reverted back to the two male demons infront of her.
"I said back off wolf. If you leave now, I won't neuter you." Inuyasha said with a smirk.
"I'd like to see you try mongrel."
"Keep talking and you'll see fleabag."
"You're all bark and no bite you mutt."
"I'll show you bite wolf!" Snarling, Inuyasha placed his hands on the hilt of his Tetseiga.
"I made a verbal claim to her! So, unless you want to break the youkai code, back the hell off and leave me and my woman be! I won't leave her alone with you when she's in heat so quit dreaming puppy." Kouga snapped.
Inuyasha snarled as his grip on the Tetseiga tightened, his knuckles turning white. But before he could respond or even retort Kagome beat him to it. Course, the wolf wasn't the only one that winced at the tone of her voice.
"EXCUSE ME?! What the hell are you two talking about?!" Kagome cried. Miroku and Sango turned to look at the two demons as Kouga blinked then started snickering.
"You didn't even TELL her?! Oh you are pathetic mutt." Kouga cried, clutching his arms around his stomach as he burst into laughter.
"Fuck off wolf, she didn't need to know!"
"Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha's ears flattened to his head as he braced himself. But for the first time, he was surprised to get a warning instead.
"You have three seconds to tell me what's going on before I say "it" so many times you'll never walk again." Kagome said coldly. Inuyasha paled at Kouga snickered behind him.
"I'll tell you later bitch." Inuyasha snapped. Yea, a hell of a lot later. Not satisfied however Kagome merely narrowed her eyes, the soundsimilar to a growl coming from her lips. Inuyasha sweatdropped.
"Inukuro! Who the hell do you think you are? Call my woman your bitch again and I'll shove that sword down your throat!" Kouga snapped furiously.
"Both of you! SHUT UP! Now someone is gonna tell me what the hell is going on, and they're gonna tell me now! Before I have BOTH of you fixed permantantly!" Kagome snapped. Both demons paled, taking a step back as they winced.
"Perhaps I can explain Kagome?" Sango suggested, looking over at the girl who blinked then nodded at her. Inuyasha on the other hand, paled several shades lighter than his own hair.
"Well, from Kouga and Inuyasha's point of view you're in heat. Meaning, you're prepared to take a mate and carry pups. I only imagine that is why Inuyasha's been acting odder than usual and why Kouga showed up like he did." Sango said.
Kagome blushed bright red as she sweatdropped. So that had been why..but.how long..he had been acting strangely since she got back. Of course! She blushed darkly as she scratched her head, refusing to look Inuyasha in the eye. The hanyou, on the other hand, bit his lip hard, willing himself not to blush and keep up a non carrying façade. Of course it didn't stop the pink twinge across his cheeks.
"What do you expect? I'm surprised the dog had enough manners not to mount her. Not many do. I'd have to say I was highly impressed and surprised by his restraint." Kouga said, crossing his arms over his chest as Inuyasha snapped his attention back to glare at the wolf.
"Fuck off wolf! *I* wasn't the one that tried to claim a human as my mate in the first place, and you KNEW she doesn't want you! Who would?! You're a disgrace to canine kind!" Inuyasha growled.
"Look who's talking Mutt! At least I'm a pure demon, and not some half and half trash like you!" Kouga snapped back.
"Kouga, you're a fucking moron. Even if Kagome DID by some miracle like you, your pups would be HALF breeds! Dipshit!" Inuyasha cried back.
Kouga blinked.
"Keh. Half wolf is better than half curr."
"You son of a bitch!" Inuyasha cried, unsheathing the Tetseiga and swinging the blade over his head at Kouga.
"Inuyasha, SIT!"
Kagome narrowed her eyes on Kouga as Inuyasha took a huge face dive, leaving behind a large crater in the shape of his body. Ignoring the hanyou for the moment, Kagome looked fully on Kouga.
"Kouga, look, you're a nice guy, you really are. But I tried to tell you before. I don't like you like that. I think you're a nice friend and a nice demon, but I don't love you and I can't be your mate." Kagome said, trying to be nice.
"But you'll learn to love me Kagome-"
"No, I won't. It's..complicated Kouga. Please understand." Kagome said as Miroku and Sango grew silent, watching the girl. Kouga sighed as he nodded, stepping over the Inu-crater and took Kagome's hand in his own. Bringing it to his lips, he kissed the back of it before smirking and turning around and walking back across the same crater.
"You're lucky dog breath. I can't say much about her choice in taste, but you ever upset her and I'll kill you myself, you won't need to worry about Naraku." Kouga said. Kagome sighed as she shook her head.
"Kouga, what will you do now?" Kagome asked. The brown prince thought for a moment before sighing deeply and shaking his head.
"Guess I have no other choice. I have a white wolf princess to go talk too. Don't know after that. You take care Kagome" With a smirk, hesped off in his tornado, disappearing as quickly as he had appeared.
Inuyasha stayed at the bottom of the crater, contemplating his next move. Either way he looked at it, he was screwed. Kouga, that fucking wolf, ruined everything for him. And now even this. What the hell was he supposed to do now? The bitch now knew that she was in heat. She now knew why HE had been acting the way he had. He would bet she knew he wanted to mate with her too.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
That was it. First he would kill Naraku, and then the fucking wolf.
