I DON'T OWN INUYASHA OR ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH INUYASHA SO DON'T SUE ME!

Inuyasha and Kagome were sitting down with the rest of the group eating some newly roasted fish and talking lightly with almost no laughter. It seems that Inuyasha was in a very foul mood since there was no trace of Naraku in the area.

"Keh! This is so annoying!!"

Kagome to her left with wide eyes.

"What's annoying Inuyasha? Can you sense something?"

He bit down on one of the few rive balls the group had left and then handed it to Miroku. He obviously was full the way he laid down after doing this.

"The way Naraku disappears all the time. It's annoying trying to track him down all the time. If he wasn't such a coward he would show his face right now and fight like a man. But that's not gonna happen cuz he's a low life coward just like that scrawny wolf Kouga."

Kagome huffed upon hearing this. She didn't like the way Inuyasha talked about Kouga even though he was just her friend.

"Now Inuyasha I know you are angry with Naraku but Kouga has helped us a lot. Why do you have to call him name like that all the time? I don't think he deserves that."

Inuyasha's ears twitched and he jumped up immediately.

"Well speak of the devil."

Just then a whirlwind came blowing through the camp and came to a stop in front of Kagome. She immediately recognized who it was and her stomach dropped. She regretted what she had said just then because she knew that Kouga heard it and she would never live it down now. He took her hand in his and looked into her brown eyes. As sky blue clashed with sand brown Inuyasha stepped in.

"LET KAGOME'S HAND GO NOW YOU STINKY WOLF. SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU!"

Kouga jumped away just as Inuyasha took a swing at his face.

"Ha! Do you really think you catch me you albino runt?!"

Inuyasha was seething with anger and jumped into the air landing right in front of Kagome. He put an arm over Kagome's small frame. And pushed her behind him drawing his sword.

"Alright Kouga I am ending this right here and now. WIND SC-"

But he was cut of bye Kagome's word that he loathed so much.

"Inuyasha, Sit Boy!"

He hit the ground with great force that made Shippou shudder at the thought of that being him and getting the command. Kagome looked forward to the wolf demon that was trying to hold back his laughter but was sadly failing.

"BWAHAHAH POOR PUPPY WHAHAHAH GOT TOLD HWAHA SIT! STUPID!"

Inuyasha growled trying to lift his head from the stone ground.

"Kouga why did you come here?"

He looked to her and walked over to her stepping over the grounded half demon.

"Well I came to see you of course my dear Kagome. Why else would I come to see that stupid mutt-face?"

He chuckled to himself and dropped my hand turning to the wobbly half demon.

"So Mutt have you found any signs of Naraku?"

Inuyasha snarled and put his hand on his sword.

"I would never tell you even if I did know where Naraku is. I have no idea where he is so you can run along wolf boy."

He drew his sword putting it out aiming for Kouga's throat. Kagome stepped in front of Kouga putting her arms out.

"Inuyasha! Kouga does not have to leave. He is welcome here no matter what you say. Besides you don't cook or do the hunting so you should have no say n the matter anyway."

Kouga put and arm around her shoulders and laughed in Inuyasha's face like a 4 year old when he got a cookie.

"Oh Kagome you're such a softy. Why don't you just run away with the stinkin wolf if you love him so much. You don't serve any purpose any more since we know where all the jewel shards are ayway. Go on get outa here."

Kagome pulled her arm to her chest at these words and her eyes turned blurry. Sango saw her "Sister" in pain and stood up running to her side and blocking her from Inuyasha's harsh look.

"INUYASHA YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO KICK HER OUT OF THE GROUP. SHE DOES MORE THAN YOU ANYWAY. IF ANYTHING YOU SHOULD BE LEAVING. YOU HAVE HURT HER SO MANY TIMES I AM SICK OF YOU EVEN TALKING TO HER. SHE HAS TAKEN TO LONG AND YOU HAVENT EVEN NOTICED OR CARED WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO HER YOU TWO TIMER!"

Inuyasha took a sharp breath in and his eyes softened. Kagome turned around trying to wipe away her never ending tears. Kouga took her cheek in his large rough hand and stroked her cheek with his thumb.

"Kagome you heard him. He obviously doesn't want you here anymore. I know you must be hurt but If you want you can come stay with me at my den unless you have somewhere else to stay. I would love to have you though."

Kagome was practically vibrating with her cries. She was coughing as she tried to speak.

"Thank you Kouga I would love to come stay with you at your den. I guess I am too stupid to be with Inuyasha. I couldn't even see that he didn't like me anymore. Oh wait I couldn't even see that he never liked me he was just using me for the jewel shards."

Kouga's eyes went from happiness to sorrow and pity. He embraced Kagome in a bear of a hug and picked her up in his arms walking slowly away from the group. Kagome looked over her shoulder.

"Bye Sango thank you I will be back soon take care of Shippou for me please."

She nodded her head and turned around to Inuyasha who was again over flowing with anger. Kouga sensed this and turned around.

"Oh and Mutt if I catch you on my lands at all I will have you torn to shreds and fed to my wolves. You got that? I won't let you hurt my Kagome ever again."

And with that he turned into his whirlwind and ran away toward the den that was awaiting the two and the den that Kagome was begging to see. Anything that would put more distance between Inuyasha and her was the better. Inuyasha's eyes turned from anger and hate to love and sorry. He reached out his hand as if he could pull her back and spoke that 3 syllable word that was stuck in his head. It was almost a whisper.

"Ka-Go-Me?"

He went to chase after but stopped his pursuit when Sango stepped in front of him.

"Inuyasha you will NOT follow them. You will NOT hurt Kagome again. And you will NOT leave my sight until Kagome decides to come back. Do you understand?"

Inuyasha gave a long session of deep breathing and then he turned around.

"Yeah Yeah whatever. But don't come cryin to me when you miss Kagome and want her back cuz I aint going to get her!"

Sango threw her Hirikotsu at Inuyasha's head and it hit of course. He landed on the ground with a thud and a lump on his head. Sango caught her weapon flawlessly and walked away dusting her hands off mumbling about how stupid the half demon was. And so Inuyasha slept alone that night with no one he had to watch over. But Kagome didn't.
