Chapter One - Nightmares and Memories
It didn't really matter if Ohaku was on guard duty - he was bored out of his mind and any amount of demons could have crossed his pass without his notice. His eyelids were slowing finding themselves closed. Leaning on a boulder, Ohaku stretched out, making himself comfortable. He yawned.

It was a beautiful, warm night in the Sengoku Jidai under the stars. Tonight's wind was the type of wind that rocks the young wolf cubs to sleep. The entire Wolf Demon Clan was inside the lair, enjoying their time of rest, while Ohaku was outside, watching for enemies. Of course, Ohaku knew that the Birds of Paradise were gone, but he wondered if Koga knew it. After all, Koga was harping on the entire watch teams about how they couldn't ever let their guards down.

Ohaku smirked. He knew Koga was just raw about losing to that dog demon, Inu-Yasha. The demon's smirk slowly grew to a snarl, as he growled. His thoughts were turned to a vision of pain and loveliness. Kagura, he thought. The Wind Socceress... Maybe Koga was worried about that monstrous woman attacking. Wait, didn't Koga say that the half-breed dog was trailing her. She should be kept busy with the dog. Ohaku sighed.

...man, he was really tired. And the grass was so inviting. Maybe if he just took a really quite snooze. Koga would never know... Kagura wouldn't be dropping in... Inu-Yasha wouldn't be coming back... The Birds of Paradisewere gone... "Nighty-nighty," he mumbled... And he was asleep.

Koga rolled over for about the millionth time. He just couldn't sleep. Every time he closed his eyes, nightmares drowned him in bloody scenes. Most of his comrades were dead, all because of that hellish socceress, Kagura. She had killed them on Naraku's orders. Naraku...

"Damn them!" he hissed under his breath. "Damn both of them."

He sat up. No use for me trying to sleep tonight. He got up on surprisingly shaking legs. His fur was standing up right. He growled, realizing those foolish dreams were getting to him, Koga, Leader of the Wolf Demon Clan. His blue eyes glowered in the shadows of the lair, as he walked outside of the cave, stepping over his sleeping brothers. Outside, Ohaku was slumbering in the grass... on guard!

Koga lifted his hand up, fuming, ready to strike the oblivious Ohaku. But he stopped in mid-swipe and stared blankly at his fellow brother. Ohaku was smiling in his sleep. Damn that whelp, he must be having good dreams. A fit of green jealousy over took the drained leader. Koga couldn't even remember the last time he had had good dreams. Even when that human girl, Kagome, entered his reveries, Inu-Yasha would come and whisk her away.

"...mm...little sister...," Ohaku giggled in his sleep.

Sister? Koga mused. Kagome? Why is Kagome in Ohaku's dreams?

Ohaku giggled like a little, lovesick schoolgirl. Koga snarled murderously. "OHAKU, WOLVES DO NOT GIGGLE!" he yelled, suddenly furious at his brother.

Ohaku didn't even twitch. Instead the slumbering fool just mumbled, "Ko-Muzai... Where are you...? Why... did... you... go...?"

Koga slumped onto the soft, dewy grass, Ohaku's words rendering him powerless. Sigh. Ko-Muzai was the former adoptive daughter of one of the old leaders. She had ran away when her adoptive father, Kiseki, had committed suicide. Ohaku and Ko-Muzai had been best friends when they were pups.

"Ko-Muzai...," he whimpered (which was odd for Koga). She had been a feisty, young girl. She had had wild, curly black hair that normally was tangled. And wide, wandering eyes.And that innocent curiosityof life. The Ko-Muzai he had known was a bossy, bratty wench, who usually was enraged with him. Koga was sure that Ko-Muzai remembered him as the demon cub with a (what seemed like) permanent red slap-mark across his cheek. And he couldn't help but wonder where she was right now....

"Ohaku?" a small voice came out from a bush nearby. "Ohaku, are you there?"

Koga sniffed air. No wonder, Ohaku was dreaming about Ko-Muzai... The youkai's scent was all over the area. Koga wondered why he hadn't noticed it before...

"Little sis, come out," Koga called softly.

The bushes rustled and a young youkai emerged from the leaves.

"Kon'nichi wa, Master Koga."
