Kouga: "Where is my Kagome?" he demanded from InuYasha.
InuYasha: "Why would I tell you?" he said in an irritated voice. Kouga notices the blood and the broken basket pieces, plus that it all carries Kagome's scent.
Kouga: Now intensely angered and worried :You stupid mutt, if she's dead I'll have your head along with Kagura and Naraku's." He looks and sees Kagome's red scarf and then glares back at the angered and irritated InuYasha. InuYasha starts to growl under his breath at the threat. Before he could snap back at Kouga, Miroku theninterrupts.
Miroku: "Kagome had disappeared before we arrived. Kagura was the only one here. There is no sign or hint as to where she is. For all we know, Naraku could have abducted her yet again but were not sure.
Kouga: turning back to InuYasha and both still angered. "Could have abducted her again?! Naraku has taken her other times"
InuYasha: He glared at Miroku and then looking back to Kouga he said in a husky irritated voice "Its none of your business,...whats important now is that Naraku might have her. I got a whiff of his aura beyond the western mountains so I'm going to go find his castle"
Kouga: "Frustrated and angered "you guys can go ahead to Naraku's castle and check, I'm sending my wolves to scan the the forests." Turning his attention to the hunting party. "Separate into groups and scan the forests in the valley first. I'm headed back to the den to gather more recruits." He had taken off in a flash and you could barely tell he was there except for the fact that Hakaku and Ginta and the rest of the wolves were now separating into groups to check the forests in the valley first.
InuYasha and the gang had left in the direction the aura came from. Kagome, meanwhile, has been floating down the river submerging under the water and then re-emerging while still unconcious. The river has been picking up speed as she went along. Her body starts to hit more and more boulders in the water as they increased. She was hitting them at more force as she approached the rapids. You can see in the faroff distance there is some small drops and then what appears to be one big waterfall. Kagome's wounds are still open and getting wider causing more blood to escape her body. Kouga, meanwhile, had been following the river with the knowledge that it joins up with the river that comes from his Den. His den is hidden by a waterfall that is fueled by the adjoing river up ahead. Kouga is running and he quickly approaches the rapids and falls. He smells a hint of blood coming from the water and then sees a slight tint of red. He comes to a slow jog and then he sees her! Just as quickly she came into vision she disappeared under the water again. He then dives into the water and uses the rocks to propel himself closer to her. He finally reaches her and pulls her into his arms. You hear the sound of the rapids diminishing and Kouga looks and sees that they are within feet of the waterfall. He looks for rocks or to try and get some footing but all attempts are failed...they reached the big drop and all he can hope for is that they don't hit any rocks down below. Kouga and Kagome fall down the waterfall and luckily only hit water instead of rocks. Kagura appears and a grin sneaks across her face as she watched them fall. Just as Kouga entered more gentle waters, Kagura sends a strong gust of wind towards some logs and the logs hit kouga and Kagome at full force. Kouga loses his grip on Kagome as another log hits her and sends her under the water but her shirt also gets caught on the log. With her achievement of departing Kagome from Kouga she sent her wind attack, Dance of the Dragon, at Kouga and then left the scene. Kouga manages to dodge the attack and then realizing Kagome has disappeared from sight again he dives under the water and sees her caught under a log. He grabs her and heads for shore. They arrive to the bank of the river within seconds. He pulls them onto the dry land and tries to catch his breath as he looks at wounds and realizes the he doesn't hear or see her breathing. He quickly flips her over on her stomach and keeps one hand under her stomach and using the other smack on the back a few times. Kagome coughs up a bunch of water and is breathing again. Kouga lays her on her back sees the blood starting to drip down her face and her shirt being tainted red in a large area around the wounds. With seeing that he scoops her up and hurries off to the den. Later on as he get to the cave he sees the hunting party had just returned to the den.
Hakaku: "What happened to sister, who did this to her?" as he said this they all look at Kagome with concern.
Ginta: "Do you think she will survive her wounds?"
Kouga: It was Naraku, he sent Kagura to do this, he obviously hoped for her death but if not that then atleast to blind her." (silence) "Get a healer here." He demanded as he walked into the Den and layed her down by his bed of straw while he grabbed what appears to be a fur from a bear. He lays the fur skin up on the straw and then picks up kagome and lays her down on the fur. He then motions to a female to come over.
Kouga: "Get her undressed and then wrap her in this fur." Kouga leaves and the female quickly does what he ordered. Kouga goes to the edge of the Den and sends the hunting party to go out and get food. He then picks up another large fur and heads back to Kagome. The female had already done what she was told and was now standing for further orders. Kouga lays the fur skin down on to kagome for extra warmth and then dismisses the female. He grabs her shirt and tears off a piece and uses it to apply pressure to her face to stop the wounds on her head from bleeding any further. He waits with Kagome for the healer to get there. Later on the healer arrives and has plenty bandages and healing herbs. The healer gets right to work stitching up her wound and treating them with herbs. When he's done you see many bandages wrapped around her arms, head and the entire length of her chest and abdomen. She has a few more on her legs. The healer then reaches for a long and wide white cloth and wraps it around her waist like a skirt and then ties the two upper ends together. He motions for Kouga to come over, and then returns to covering her up in the furs and begins to gather up his supplies.
Healer: "Only time can tell if she will survive from these wounds. I am going to head back for extra supplies and some food that should help her heal faster. I will be back shortly and am hoping I could get aid in bring the items back and to ensure my safety in travelling."
Kouga: "Very well, I will send two from my pack to help you." Just then Kouga signals to two of his wolves in human form to come over. "You two to help the healer arrive to his destination safely and to aid him in carrying supplies back." The two nod and the depart with the healer. Kouga goes and checks on Kagome and then heads to the front of the Den. The hunting party comes back with the food and the fire has already been started and they prepare the meat automatically when they get there. When the meat is ready, Kouga grabs his share and then the others follow as he walks to the back of the cave to eat by Kagome.
