Hi People! This is my first fanfic, so go easy on me. If the characters seem totally OOC, tell me and I can fix it, along with other problems. Please review, because it can be boring to write without feed back. By the way, I can't for the life of me remember if Kouga ever meets Kikyo, so for this story he hasn't. Yet.



Disclaimer: I do not own any elephants. Or Inuyasha for that matter.

******* (SCENE CHANGE)

CHAPTER 1

Kouga was mad, and every single one of the wolf demons in the area knew it. It's not like he tried to hide it though. He snapped at anyone within ten feet of him and was growling deep in his throat almost constantly. The reason for his irritability was quite apparent. He had been badly injured in his most recent fight with that dog turd, Inuyasha. He had been forced to lie on his back for the last two days, some of the other wolf demons having to practically hold him down at times.

"Let me up NOW" he howled, even as he winced from the pain in his side.

"Koga, you need to heal," the demon who was trying to hold his left arm down protested.

"No, I need to go kick that idiot puppy's butt!" he growled. "He's out there with MY Kagome and I'm gonna go-"

"You can't fight him in this condition, when he nearly beat you when you were in good health," the demon holding down his right leg said firmly.

"HE DID NOT NEARLY BEAT ME!" Kouga screeched, making the others want to let him go just so they could cover their ears.

The argument went on for quiet a while.

"Inuyasha, I swear if you call me that one more time..." Kagome threatened as her friends looked on.

"Shut up, wench," he mumbled from the tree branch he was currently placed on. Then he noticed the steam rising from Kagome's ears. 'Uh oh, she's really mad now,' he thought to himself. Thinking quickly, he dropped from the tree, and scooped up a small ball of fur off the ground, where it had been watching the fight with interest.

"Leggome!" the little furry bundle protested.

"Inuyash, you put shippou down this instant! Or I'll say it!" Kagome's eyes flashed.

"No way!" He held the struggling shippou in front of him like a shield. "Now if you 'sit' me, the brat goes down too!"

"Hey, no way!" shippou struggled more frantically.

"Inuyasha you idiot, put him down!" Kagome ran after him. He smirked and leaped nimbly out of the way. He was too busy making faces at Kagome to notice a large boomerang descending on his head. Bringing his hands to his head in pain, he dropped the small kitsune, who promptly scampered back to Kagome and hid behind her.

"Ugh! What was that for?" He rounded on sango, glaring at her.

"Honestly Inuyasha, if you have to ask you're even more of an idiot than we thought." sango returned his glare with one of her own.

"Oh Inuyasha..."

"What?" he snapped.

"sitsitsitsit....."

While Inuyasha lay face down in a whole deep enough to be his grave, Kagome went back to the fire and finished making the ramen she had been preparing before Inuyasha got on her nerves. By the time the spell had worn off, the food was ready. Inuyasha was rather annoyed to find that his portion was already getting cold and quickly dumped all of it into his mouth, never mind the chopsticks. Kagome rolled her eyes and went back to finishing her own lunch.

About five minutes later, Inuyasha began to insist they start up again. "How are we supposed to find those shards if you're just going to sit around eating?" He crossed his arms in front of his chest and narrowed his eyes.

"Actually Inuyasha," Kagome said sitting up, "since we're so near the well, I thought I'd go to my house really quick, collect the home work that will undoubtedly be waiting for me, and refill my first aid kit." She looked up hopefully. "It'll only be for one day, I swear. If I leave now, I can be back by tomorrow night."

He did not have the reaction she'd hoped for. "Whadda ya mean go home? No way, we haven't found a new shard in a long time. You are definitely not leaving. School's stupid anyway. Hobo goes to your school and look at him."

"His name is not Hobo, and I am going, and you can't stop me!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha winced as his sensitive ears go the full blast of Kagome's wrath, but stood in her way none the less. "Sit!" she screeched, and grabbed her pack, stomping off in the direction of the well.

"You know Inuyasha, Kagome wasn't unreasonable in her request." Miroku spoke up. He and Sango had been watching the all too familiar routine from the sidelines. Shippou was lying next to Sango, looking at Kagome's vanishing form with a sad, wistful expression on his face.

"He's right for on-," Sango cut her sentence short as she noticed a wandering hand coming closer. Two seconds later, Miroku had a large lump on his head and was lying sprawled on the ground in a decent impersonation of Inuyasha. They both rose after a few seconds. Miroku sat next to Sango again, and Inuyasha was once more in the tree.

Not far away, Kagome struggled to lift her huge pack and toss it into the well. As she did, she muttered angrily to herself. "Stupid Inuyasha....can't even take a one day break for me to go home...makes fun of my life....and Hojo...and school...and whatever else he can to hurt me...idiot acts jealous about stuff like Koga and then calls me names for no reason...." Still mumbling under her breath, she jumped in the well.

Kikyo, who had been listening to Kagome from a hidden spot (though in truth, Kagome was so preoccupied with being angry with Inuyasha, she wouldn't have noticed it Kikyo had been out there line dancing) found her little tirade to be quiet interesting. Kagome had said something about Inuyasha being jealous over...what was it? Ah, yes a certain Kouga. Very intriguing. Few things could tear people apart like jealousy. And from the sound of it, Kouga was interested in her worthless copy. A plan was beginning to form in her mind. She would definitely have to look into this...

Reviewing is a good thing! I don't care if you talk about meatballs, I just want to see if people are interested. Thanks!

Love,
