The scent of blood had drawn his attention at first. He could smell both a hanyou and a humans blood- there were also several other scents mixed over it, but it was the combination of human and hanyou that intrigued him. The only hanyou he knew was Inuyasha, and he did travel with human companions, and so he decided he needed to check and see if the mutt had been taking care of his woman.
Following the scent he soon came upon a massive trail of destruction, whatever had caused the bloodtrail he had scented had also managed to get some fairly irate demon on a warpath as well. Working his way around the twisted foliage and underbrush that threatened to stop his progress, he stopped short when his sensitive ears picked up a howl coming from further ahead.
The plaintive cry came out again, and while he did not recognize who it was, his instincts could feel the loss of the other, the pain that was evident in the broken sob that followed. Cautious now, not wanting to disturb an already upset demon, but curious to see just who it was, and led by his instincts to comfort the distress he heard in the fellow canids call, he came upon a naked youth, his black hair matted with spilt blood as he turned his face to the stars again to let out another cry.
Slightly relieved to find a human, instead of a wounded demon who may have been a threat to him, or his tribe, he was surprised when his nose picked up the familiar scent of the mutt, coming to stand right behind the still oblivious form, Kouga reached down and gently grasped a shoulder while asking.
“Inuyasha?”
The face that turned to him was strait out of his nightmares, a picture of the suffering that he remembered from the attacks on his village, but for a moment a hope crossed that face, as a hand reached up for his face, a soft whisper barely making it from bleeding lips that without his demon hearing would have been lost in the still of the night.
“Taptai?”
The moment passed as recognition came to the broken dog-demon, his head dropping as he felt his hopes fail.
“Just kill me Kouga- finish me, Kagomes yours- you win ok.”
For a moment, the demon considered it, the prize he had been dreaming for had just been handed to him by the only obstacle in his path, but a look at the forlorn form in front of him changed his mind.
“No.”
Inuyasha looked back up, his only hope for being reunited with his mate crushed as he felt tears start, even though he had cried himself out several times already.
“Don’t you understand- he’s gone, Naruku took him from me, he takes everyone from me- I can’t protect them, I can’t help them, and if I care about Kagome, he’ll take her too..”
“Who’s gone- what happened here?”
Letting a sigh cross his lips, Inuyasha stood and began to explain the whole situation to the wolf- from his heat to the mating mark, to Taptai’s acceptance, to as much as he remembered about the fight. He didn’t care anymore, he was just hoping that maybe if he explained the situation to the wolf he may have some mercy on him and put him out of his suffering. When Inuyasha finished his story, he was surprised to find himself wrapped in the wolf-demons arms, hands rubbing circles on his back as kouga sought to comfort the distressed hanyou. Too shocked for a moment to even react, Inuyasha threatened to pull away for a moment, but the arms just held him all the tighter before he gave in, all resistance lost as he wrapped his arms around the wolf and broke down.
“I’m sorry Inuyasha, I wish that hadn’t happened to you, but I can’t let you give up.” Pushing back slightly so he could gaze into the hanyou’s now black eyes. “You can’t let Naraku just win like this, and I can’t do this by myself. If you give up now, whats gonna keep Naraku from doing this to even more people, I’m sorry puppy, but we still need you.”
A muffled sob was the only response he received, as the Inu-hanyou nuzzled back into his chest, the pain of his loss still too fresh for him to cope fully with it, but for the moment kouga didn’t mind. It was yet another reason for him to hate Naraku, and as he sat there, comforting the teen in his arms, he couldn’t let the thought quite escape his mind. Inuyasha had taken another male as a mate. Looking down at the now quiet form he held, exhaustion having finally taken hold and drawing him to sleep, Kouga felt a small smile cross his lips.
“If not Kagome, then perhaps you little one?”
