Of Dogs and Wolves

Ch. 3

With Kagome gone for awhile, the group didn't have a jewel shard detector. So, with nothing else to do, they decided to lay back and relax for awhile, a well needed rest. Sango, Rin, and Shippo went off to gather herbs while Miroku meditated for awhile.

However, Inuyasha was preoccupied. He was sitting in a tree eating a bag of 'cookies' that Kagome had brought from the last time she went home as he watched Kouga and Sesshomaru get into it. Again.

"Stay away, dog face, he's mine!" Kouga shouted. Sesshomaru growled. "I saw him first, disgusting flea bag" He replied calmly. Kouga was turning a bright red at the insults that flew out of Sesshomaru's mouth.

Inuyasha just sat and watched, oblivious to what they were fighting about. However, he did know a good fight when he saw one. He watched in awe and Kouga made the first move, jumping at Sesshomaru, claws and fangs ready to do some damage.

However, no matter how fast he was, Sesshomaru always managed to dodge his attacks. When Sesshomaru pulled out the Tokijiin, Kouga also pulled out his sword and they went at it for awhile. Inuyasha just sat back and laughed at them.

After they had finished and were both tired, Kouga and Sesshomaru gave up. It was very hot and Kouga jumped into the river to wet himself down so he could get the stench of the dog demon off of him. Then they heard laughter.

'Was he watching us?' Kouga asked himself as he got out of the water. Sesshomaru didn't waste any time and walked calmly to where Inuyasha was perched on the tree and looked up at him. "Brother, when will that wench return? I am quite bored being here with this wolf ass...he is very disgusting..."

Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder and Inuyasha looked around him, and they saw Kouga shake himself all over to dry off. He stopped when he saw the staring eyes. "What?" he asked when he realized he was being watched. Sesshomaru grinned evily at the wolf demon and stuck a tongue out, something he never does.

"Come, Inuyasha, walk with me..." Sesshomaru grabbed Inuyasha's foot and pulled him down from the tree. Inuyasha sighed and follwed him. "Wait!" They stopped and turned to Kouga. "Don't do it Inuyasha, it's a trap!"

Inuyasha stepped away from Sesshomaru. "You were trying to kill me?" He yelled reaching for his tetsuiga. "No, you missunderstand brother, it is he who is deceiving you! I am merely trying to drag you away from this pitiful excuse for a demon." He said calmly. Inuyasha glared at the both of them suspiciously.

"Alright, whats going on? You two have been acting weird all day. Come to think about it, we haven't had a moment of peace since you two joined! Now I demand you to tell me what is going on?" Inuyasha eyed them both before adding, "I know! You're after the jewel shards, aren't you!"

Sesshomaru and Kouga looked at each other, sighed, and put their heads down. They had dissapointed their claimed one, and still, yet again, he remained oblivious as to what was going on. Maybe he was more hard headed than they thought.

'Thats Ok," Kouga thought. "It just makes him much more desirable!' Kouga thought. 'Hmm, my sweet puppy, you will be a great victory for me.' Sesshomaru thought. The two looked at each other once more and growled before turning away and walking to seperate ends of the camp site.

Meanwhile in Kagome's time...

Back in the modern era, Kagome wasn't doing so well. It had been two weeks since Inuyasha had ordered her to leave. 'How could he do this to me? He has no right!' Her once shiny black hair was now frizzy and stuck out in every direction. Black circles were under her eyes and she ate so little, she was beginning to resemble a corpse.

Kagome thought of a way to get back at him. Running out of her room and the shrine, she made her way to the old well. 'When I get back there, I'll give him the sitting of his life! Then he'll learn not to cross me.'

She leapt into the well and was transported to the past. Climbing out, she was ready to punish Inuyasha for mistreating her. "Listen up you...!" She stopped when she realized the clearing they had camped in was completely empty.

The ninth-grader sat angrily on the side of the well and fumed. Suddenly, the wind picked up. Glancing up, Kagome came face-to-face with Kagura the wind witch. "K-Kagura?" she asked with a trembling voice.

Kagura examined her with her cold blood-red eyes and wrinkled her nose. "How pathetic you look right now, human. Oh well. Naraku would like a word with you." Reaching into her kimono, she pulled out a midnight blue powder and blew it into the frightened girl's face.

Kagome felt dizzy for a moment and then fainted. Kagura summoned her feather, grabbed Kagome, and flew quickly back to Naraku's lair. "Sleep well, little bitch. You'll certainly need it for what Naraku has planned for you."
