Prologue:

"You seem to recognize these strange invaders, Kouga. Who are they?"

"That is Inuyasha and his group. He's that half-demon mutt who dares to call himself my equal."

"Well, there must be some truth to that rumor then, especially since he's not yet dead by your hand."

The fur along his tail bristled and his ears cocked back in an angry stance. Standing right by his side at the edge of the cliff overlooking the valley, I worried that he would suddenly burst into a fit of rage over seeing his old rival.

"I still need him alive, unfortunately. He's the only one that can lead me to Naraku, so that I can go seek revenge for my fallen comrades. That bastard is going to pay."

"Is this Inuyasha in league with Naraku?"

"No. They all want to find him for their own revenge, but not if I find him first. Come—let's go see what they're up to this time."

He turned away and I followed him down the mountain path, two wolves stalking potential prey.
