Kagome sat up slowly and looked around. She was in a cave, that much she could tell. She was naked save for a few scraps of fur that were carefully laid over her private areas. She rolled her shoulders and let out a hiss of air as pain shot through her right arm. She looked at her arm and the memories came rushing back. The Great One, the wolf Youkai god had passed his powers down to her because he thought she was the right one to chose. She looked to her left and found a small tray of dried meat and a bowl of water. She picked up the meat and bit a small chunk off, it was salty but tasted okay. Once she finished the meat she picked up the bowl and drank the water down all in one go. She wiped her mouth of with the back of her hand and looked around once more. This time she noticed two small opening in the back of the cave, in one of them an elderly woman stood and watched her.
"I see you are awake now, child." The woman said as she came and sat beside Kagome.
Kagome could tell almost instantly that she was a Youkai.
"Don't fear child, I'm here to help you." The elderly Youkai said as she began to undo the bandages around Kagome's arm.
"Thank you… but… where am I?" Kagome asked as she watched the Youkai work.
"You are in the Eastern wolf tribe's den. Well, this is my separate den of course but in this area is the tribe." She explained as Kagome nodded. "You may call me Owla. I am this tribe's healer." She said as she gave Kagome a small smile.
"Owla…? Oh... I was told… to talk to you about something… this wolf came to me in a dream. He told me that he had passed his power on to me…" Kagome then began to explain to Owla what had happened at the fissure in the ground and then in her dream.
Owla sat back and looked to the mouth of the cave and rubbed her chin in contemplation.
"I see. So the Great One chose you then. This will be a difficult task. You realize young girl, that this cannot be undone easily once started. The fact that the Great One has chosen you as his heir is a great honor. One that I thought he would have bestowed upon Koga. However it seems fate did not want things to go that way. So now I am to help you along in this process. If you refuse… then the Great One's soul will be forever lost and so will his power.
Kagome looked at the healer and tilted her head. "What are his powers…?" she asked with a tone of concern.
"That my dear is all in the beholder. For someone like Koga it would have been extreme speed, sight and hearing. For me, it would have been adding to my healing knowledge. You see the Great One's power is not determined by what it he had, it is determined on what you already have. It latches onto the holder's power and increases it to a godly level. This is why the body deteriorates so fast. The last Great One, the one to pass his power on to you, lasted twenty three years before he became like that. He was brave, had a kind heart but lacked the soul to carry on. You however have not even gone through the transformation yet." Owla explained as she cleaned and re-dressed Kagome's wound.
Kagome looked like she was going to be sick. "You… you mean that I am going to turn into a giant wolf!?" she asked in horror as she looked at Owla, her eyes were wide and full of fear.
"No darling. That's not how it works. Maybe if you were already a Youkai you would have turned into a wolf already, but since you are human, and a miko no less, the most you will inherit from the wolf god is a Youkai side. You will essentially become a Hanyou over time. But since the transformation has not happened in the usual fashion then I am guessing it will take time." Owla explained.
"So… I'll turn into a Hanyou… I won't be human anymore?" Kagome asked as she hugged her knees to her chest.
"Well… this is the first case I have ever witnessed that a Human has been chosen to be the next Great One… so I cannot be certain." Owla said with a shake of her head. She frowned and pat Kagome on the back. "I am sorry child. But… you were chosen for a reason."
"it's alright… so long as I don't lose my human heart. I could never live with myself… can… you promise me that if I lose my heart… that you will kill me?" Kagome asked, her eyes were pleading.
Owla looked into the girl's eyes and sensing that she was serious, she nodded in agreement.
"I will promise you this." Owla said as she grasped Kagome's hands and nodded. "So you will let me guide you then?" she asked.
Kagome nodded. "I was a miko before this… so will my spiritual powers grow…?" Kagome asked.
Owla nodded. "You were like the miko Kikyo, you possessed many powers that were like her own, and however you are different. You have never harbored hate for anyone, have you?" Owla asked.
Kagome shook her head.
"So then if this is the case you will surpass even that of Kikyo, perhaps you will become the most powerful miko this world has ever known. But, it is too early to tell just yet." She said as she stood and walked to the other side of the cave where she picked up a few things and walked back over to Kagome. "Koga will be here shortly to check on things, less you want him to see you like this I suggest you put this on." Owla said with a soft smile.
Kagome quickly put on the clothing that Owla provided with her and looked down upon herself. She was in a sleek white wolf Youkai outfit with small pieces of black armor; it was very feminine and looked surprisingly good on her. Her calves and forearms were covered in the same white fur with small bands of metal at the wrist and ankle. She smiled and turned around for Owla so the elder could see her.
"That looks very good on you, Kagome." Owla commented with a low whistle. "Very natural." She added.
"I have to agree." Koga said as he entered the cave and crossed his arms, a smile curling his lips.
"Oh Koga I didn't see you come in" Owla said as she looked over to the wolf prince. As you can see she is up and moving, and doing fine. No need to further your stay here." Owla said as she waved Koga away.
"Oh no, that won't be the case. I would like to talk to Kagome for a moment if she doesn't mind." Koga said as he looked to Kagome.
"Oh… um of course." Kagome said as she joined him.
Koga began walking out of the cave and up to the top of the outcropping for the village. Near the water fall at the very top was a few cherry trees and a small field. Koga walked Kagome over to one of the trees and sat down.
"So Kagome, mind telling me exactly what happened back there…? Why were you by yourself? And why did Hakkaku and Ginta find you in a crack in the ground with such a wound?" Koga asked as he looked her over.
"Well… Inuyasha went to see Kikyo again… and it got me thinking. That maybe because they share a love from so long ago that it can't be broken… even though we've don't so much together it just isn't enough. And so I went home to my time for a few days… to do a few of my exams and cool off… when I came back through the well Shippo was waiting for me… he had said that Inuyasha wanted to speak to me at the place we met. And so I went to that place… and told him that he should be with Kikyo. Because that is simply how I feel… and so I told him not to follow Shippo and myself and we went for a walk… we walked for hours it seemed… and then we set up a picnic and ate… the next thing I knew we were being chased by this giant wolf… I threw Shippo in the air and he transformed… I told him to run… and then I turned around and the wolf lunged… it bit me and we fell… then I woke up here." Kagome explained as she played with the fur at the edge of her skirt.
Koga looked into the sky and nodded as she finished.
"So he wasn't there to protect you is what it comes down to…" Koga said as he glared at the sky.
"Well… I did tell him not to follow after us…" Kagome defended.
"Kagome… you realize that if Ginta and Hakkaku weren't down there at that time that you could be dead right now?" Koga asked as he looked her in the eyes. "This is something serious Kagome… I was so worried…" Koga said as he grabbed her hands.
For once Kagome didn't feel the need to take her hands from his, she allowed him to take her hands and sighed inwardly.
"I'm sorry I worried you so much Koga… but I'm fine. Really." She assured as she stood. "And… if it's not too much trouble I'd like to stay for a while…" she said as he stood alongside her.
"What…? Why would that be trouble? Of course you can stay!" Koga said as his tail began to wag. A goofy grin was plastered upon his face.
Kagome smiled at Koga and wiped her hands on the fur around her waist. "But… do you think you can do me a favor…?" she asked as she batted her eyelashes.
Koga cocked an eyebrow and turned his head to the side. "What is it Kagome?" he asked.
"Can you take me to the Bone Eater's well…" I'd like to go back home and get some things… I also dropped my backpack while running from the wolf… so I would need to get that too… if you wouldn't mind…?" she asked with a sweet smile.
Koga stopped to think for a moment before sighing. "Are you well enough to travel?" he asked as he picked her up bridal style.
She gave a small nod. "Just don't jostle me too much please." She asked as he began running towards the base of the mountains.

"This is the spot isn't it?" Koga asked as he looked around the area. "I don't see it anywhere… and it reeks of that dog here…" Koga complained as he sniffed around.
"I'm sorry Koga…" Kagome said as she looked around for her bag as well. "Maybe I dropped it along the path while I was running… or… no I'm sorry… Shippo took it with him. I remember now." Kagome said as she covered her eyes with a hand. "I'm really sorry…" she said as she shook her head.
"Kagome..." Koga said as he walked over to her and picked her up. "It's fine. Nothing to worry about. We'll just go back to that village then and see if that's where he went. As for Dog Turd, my pack will deal with him." Koga commented nonchalantly as he began running towards Kaede's village.
"They aren't going to hurt him… are they?" Kagome asked as she looked up at Koga.
"Naw, they'll just send him away." He said as he sped up.

Koga set Kagome down at the edge of the village and pat her on the shoulder. I'll be right here if you need me. Just call if anything happens." He said as she set out to find Kaede's hut. She reached it in moments and pocked her head inside.
"Is anyone in here?" she asked as she looked around. Sure enough Shippo, Sango and Kirara were sitting inside by a small fire.
"Kagome?" Sango asked as she looked her best friend over. "What happened to you!? And… what's with those clothes?" she asked as she stood and walked over to Kagome.
Shippo lunged and grappled onto Kagome's neck, crying that he was sorry. "I'm so sorry I couldn't help you Kagome!" he cried.
"Oh… it's okay Shippo! She reassured and looked at Sango. "I… was attacked by a Youkai and fell down into a hole… luckily for me Ginta and Hakkaku were there and took me back to Koga's village. Owla, Koga's healer patched me up and gave me these clothes to wear while mine were being washed." She explained.
Sango sighed in relief and hugged Kagome. "when Shippo came back yesterday without you we were so worried… he tried explaining what happened and once Inuyasha heard he went looking for you… he hasn't come back yet." Sango said.
"I know… Koga said he smelt Inuyasha when we went looking for my backpack. You brought it back didn't you Shippo?" she asked.
Shippo nodded and pointed to the bright yellow bag in the corner. "I'm sorry… I should have brought you back instead…" he said through hiccups.
"Shippo, you did your best and that's all that matters she said as she winced slightly from her shoulder.
"I actually just came to get my bag… I have some very important things to take care of… I'll see you guys soon…" she said as he picked up her bag and called out for Koga. He was there in a matter of three seconds.
"It's a good thing Dog Turd isn't here. Let's get outta here." He said as he picked her up and ran towards the well.
Kagome waved to her friends as they quickly disappeared.
"So let me get this straight. You're just going to jump in there… and be back out soon? That's how this works?" Koga asked as he looked into the well.
"Pretty much. But don't try to follow me please… and if Inuyasha comes back before I can come out don't let him follow either." She said as she jumped over the lip of the well and crossed time to her own world.
Kagome quickly climbed out of the well and raced into her house, waving to her mother as she passed.
"Kagome!? Is that you!?" he mother called after her as Kagome raced up the stairs.
"Yes! I came for medicine!" Kagome called down.
"Was one of your friends injured?" Mrs. Higurashi asked with a concerned tone.
"No… but I was. It will be okay though!" Kagome said as she came back down the stairs.
"Oh my, would you look at this outfit? Where on earth did you get it from?" her mother asked.
"Koga's healer gave them to me while my clothes are being washed. They were all bloody. So this will have to do for now." Kagome commented as she began to pack gauze, creams and other medicinal items.
"Please be careful Kagome! You're always getting hurt while you're there!" Kagome's mother said with a sigh. Take whatever you need. Hojou is constantly bringing more thins anyway…" she said with a smile.
"Thank you mom…" Kagome said as she kissed her mother on the cheek and continued packing. "I'll be staying with Koga and his tribe for a while… so I'll need to bring some food with me too." She said as she began packing a few pots, food and water bottles.
"All I want is for you to be okay." Kagome's mother said as she helped her daughter. "And for you to visit me more often!" she said with a smile as she hugged her daughter.
Kagome stood once she was finished packing and smiled at her mother.
"I can try." She said and hugged her mom.
"That's all I want. Now go, I'm sure they are waiting for you."
Kagome hugged her mother again before she left the house and headed for the well. She leapt in and came out on the other side, she looked up to see Koga starring back at her.
"Well that was a lot faster than I thought." He helped her out of the well and picked her up, this time on his back. "Let's head back now." He said as he began running. "I really don't need an encounter with that mutt right now. For your sake at least." He said as he looked back at her.
"Thank you so much for this Koga…" Kagome said as she gave him a small hug.
"Wha? For what?" he asked, confused.
"For taking me back to get some things that I need. You were so care free about it and never complained once." She said as she smiled.
"Naw, that was nothing. I mean if it's something you really needed then it isn't a problem for me. Besides, I'm fast so it's not like it took us all day or something." He said with a smile.
Kagome laughed slightly and nodded. "Still. Thank you anyway." She said with a happy sigh.

Kagome set her bag down inside Owla's cave and looked around for the woman. She was sitting by a small fire and tending a brew.
"Is it really okay for me to stay here with you Owla?" Kagome asked.
"Of course it is girl, what kind of mentor would I be if I let you go gallivanting around all the time and stay out of my sight?" she asked with a smile.
"Thank you very much." Kagome said as she began to pull things out of her bag. "If there is anything I can do around here then let me know… I don't want to be in the way." She said as she pulled out a few metal pots.
"Of course, girl. Did you think that you would be getting to stay for nothing?" Owla asked with a smug smile. "as you can see I am old. Not old enough that I can't do things for myself, but it would be nice to have some help." Owla gave her a toothy grin.
Kagome laughed and brought over the bots. "Here, you can use these for whatever you need. I brought food too." She said as she sat beside Owla.
"Whatever for dear?" she asked as she took the pots and nodded. "Surely there is enough food here for you."
Kagome smiled and looked into the small fire. "It's not that, I just… I like my meat cooked and juicy rather than either raw or dried, that's all. I guess you can say I'm kind of picky." Kagome said as she rubbed the back of her head.
"Oh dear, don't fret. I'm sure that we can hunt and cook for you, if not I or you, then I am sure that Koga would do it." Owla laughed and took her brew off the fire. "Well let's get your wound cleaned again. Take the furs off and we'll add some of this to it. It will hurt at first but it will speed up the healing process."
Kagome quickly undid her armor and took the furs off of her chest and exposing her right side to Owla. "I brought medicine from my time as well… so if this doesn't work then that stuff will." Kagome commented as Owla undressed her wound and started cleaning out the clear goo from before.
"Now here, bite onto this so you don't yell." Owla instructed as she handed Kagome a rolled up piece of cloth with a piece of wood in it.
Kagome took it and placed it in her mouth, a curious look in her eyes as she watched Owla begin to pour the hot liquid onto the wound. Kagome bit down hard on the wood and squeezed her eyes shut. She tried her hardest not to let out any noise as the liquid seeped into her wound and hardened onto it. Once all of the liquid was in place and hardened Kagome released the wood from her mouth and fell forward, one hand on the cave floor, the other on her forehead.
"That… was worse than I thought." Kagome admitted as she coughed.
"I warned you." Owla said with a chuckle. "Now lay down for a moment until the solution completely hardens." Owla directed as she put one of Kagome's pots on the fire and poured water into it. "I'll make us some dinner."
Kagome walked over to her bed of furs and laid down on them, placing a pelt on her chest to cover it until she could get dressed again. Kagome yawned and smiled as the smell of cooking meat and vegetables filled the air; it smelled very earthy.
"Kagome…?" Owla asked as she brought a bowl of stew over to her.
Kagome sat up and looked to the woman. "Yes?"
"you haven't felt anything weird yet have you? Like anything out of the ordinary?" Owla asked as she grabbed her own bowl.
"Not really no. I'm sorry." Kagome said as she ate a spoonful of stew. "But if I start to notice anything then I'll tell you right away." Kagome said as she nodded.
"Okay. It is very important." Owla said as she ate her stew.
Once Kagome finished her stew Owla dressed her wound in fresh gauze and Kagome dressed in her furs again.
"Now get some sleep. Tomorrow we will clean the wound again and start you on some exercises to test your abilities." Owla said as she stood and took the bowls out of the cave.
"Okay. I look forward to it." Kagome said as she curled up on the furs and quickly fell asleep.

Kagome awoke from her sleep to find herself looking at Owla's eyes. The woman stood over her, a concerned expression over her face.
"Kagome dear, can you sit up please? Slowly." She cautioned.
Kagome tilted her head to the side and slowly sat up, keeping her eyes on Owla.
"Oh dear… Kagome…" Owla said as she held up Kagome's hand mirror and showed her her reflection.
Kagome's eyes widened and she opened her mouth to speak but only a high pitched scream came out. "WHAT HAPPENED!?" Kagome cried out as she grabbed the mirror and looked herself over. Her once brown eyes (AN/: in the manga Kagome's eyes are blue, however in the anime they are Brown. So I'm going with her anime appearance as that is the most recognized.) Had tinted blue with gold specks like that of the Great One and she had large canines. She looked down at her hands and shuddered when she found she had claws instead of finger tips.
"Kagome… it seems that… the transformation has happened. You're a Youkai now darling." Owla said as she looked Kagome over and sniffed her. "However… you still smell human… how are your senses?" she asked as she grabbed Kagome's hands and inspected the claws.
Kagome looked around and sniffed the air.
"They're the same as they always have been! Owla…. Please… what's happened!?" Kagome asked as she began to become hysterical.
"Easy does it, girl. If you go into a panic attack at this point it will only make it worse. It seems that only your physical appearance has changed at this point… stand up." She said as she stood along with Kagome. "Oh dear. You… have a tail." Owla said as she gave it a poke.
Kagome shrieked and sat on it, her face going a bright red. "Owla… this is awful…" Kagome said miserably as she hugged her knees and put her forehead against her knees.
"It'll be fine, Kagome. Don't worry too much about it. I did warn you that something like this would happen did I not?" Owla asked as she shook her head and walked around to Kagome's right side and pulled the furs away. "Let's check on this as well." She said as she began to undo the bandages.
Kagome watched as Owla removed the bandages. She gasped in shock and ran her left arm over the scar. There was nothing left but a slightly raised, perfect bite mark that was slightly pinker than Kagome's skin color.
"It… it healed…?" Kagome asked as she looked to Owla. "Was this from the poultice last night?" she asked.
"What…? No. I have used that brew many a times and it has never healed this fast before… maybe this was due to the transformation…" Owla said as she stood and walked to the cave mouth.
"What is it…?" Kagome asked as she watched as Owla's tail went up in a puff and she growled.
"I smell something awful… smells like… a dog." She said as she stepped out of the cave.
Kagome followed after her, keeping right behind her. "A dog…? I don't smell anything but the fresh water and grass…" Kagome said as she looked over Owla's shoulder.
"It IS a dog. Well… half a dog." Owla said with a snort. She looked to Kagome and shook her head. "You can come, so long as you stay right beside me. Or behind me. But never leave me." Owla ordered.
Kagome nodded and they began walking down the hill towards the main den.
"WHERE IS SHE, YOU WIMPY WOLF!?" Inuyasha yelled as he slammed Koga against the side of the rock face.
"What's it to you!? You want to find out so that you can take her back then leave her alone again!?" Koga asked as he kicked Inuyasha in the side.
"What's that matter to you!? It's not any of your business what we do!" Inuyasha yelled as he lunged at Koga.
"INUYASHA SIT!" Kagome yelled as they came around the corner.
Inuyasha crashed into the ground with a yelp of surprise.
"Kagome! You don't need" Koga turned to look at her and his jaw dropped. "Fight… my battles…?" his eyes went wide as he took in her appearance. "What… what happened to you?" he asked as he dashed over to her.
"I will tell you all you need to know in due time, Koga." Owla said as she stepped in front of Kagome.
Inuyasha recovered from his sit and rushed over to them. He looked Kagome over and sniffed the air. "What kind of sick game are you guys playing at!?" he asked as he glared at Koga, and then Owla. "This had better be just some costume! Tell me!" he ordered as he looked at Kagome.
"You had better calm down…" Koga warned as he stepped in front of the women.
"Inuyasha… maybe you should leave…" Kagome said as she peeked out from Koga's left side. "It's for the better… just… don't cause any problems." She said as she looked into his eyes.
Inuyasha growled and looked at her with sad eyes. "Why… why are you doing something like this, Kagome? Won't you at least let me talk to you…? AWAY from these shitty excuses for Youkai." He added as he glared a Koga and Owla. By this time a large group of Koga's tribe had gathered around them. Some questioning why Inuyasha was here, others questioning why Kagome's appearance had changed so drastically. Inuyasha looked at Kagome with pleading eyes. "Please… just… let me talk to you…" he asked as he took a step forward. "If you really want to stay after listening to what I have to say then I'll respect that… just… please." He asked again.
Kagome looked at Owla and she shrugged before rolling her eyes and nodding. "Go… you have until noon." She said as she stepped to the side.
Inuyasha scoffed and growled at the old woman. "Who are you to tell her how long she can be gone, bah-bah?" he asked.
Koga growled and raised his claws to Inuyasha. "Watch it dog shit." He snarled as he took a step to the side.
Owla glared at Inuyasha and spit near his feet. "I am her mentor, and you would do good to be more respectful." Owla snarled.
"I don't give two shits about something like that! And mentor? For what!? She doesn't need some mangy wolf to teach her anything! Now step aside!" Inuyasha ordered as he walked over to Kagome and picked her up.
Kagome gasped at the harshness of his movements and winced as he bruises were pressed on. "Ouch…" she groaned as her head fell slightly.
"Oh hush you. I wasn't that rough." Inuyasha said with a scoff. "I can't believe you Kagome." He said as he shook his head.
Koga growled and stepped closer to them. "You see that? You just touched her and you hurt her…" Koga shook his head. "You disgust me…" he said as he turned around. "You have until noon to talk with her, on OUR grounds. You leave and I'll hunt you down… and don't think you can outrun me." Koga warned as he walked with Owla into the main den.
"Feh… whatever you say wimp." Inuyasha said as he bound away with Kagome, up towards the waterfall. Once they were there he set her down and placed his hands on her shoulders.
"What the hell happened!?" he asked as he looked her in the eyes.
"I… well. I don't need to tell you, Inuyasha." Kagome said as she crossed her arms
"yes you do! You need to explain to me first of all; why you look like this, what happened to you the other day and why you're staying here with these wolves!" Inuyasha yelled.
Kagome glared at him and jabbed a finger into his chest.
"OW. Jeese!" Inuyasha yelled as he stepped back. "Claws!?" he asked as he placed his hand to his chest and looked to see blood pooled in his hand.
"Now listen here Inuyasha! You don't GET to order me around anymore! SIT." He thudded into the ground. "You don't GET to go and run around with Kikyo and then EXPECT me to forgive you all the time. SIT. You don't GET to be forgiven all the time! It isn't FAIR. You don't GET to come into my life and just think you can make me love you and then just break my heart! SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT!" she screamed as she stomped and clenched her fists. "I'm DONE with you hurting me!" she yelled as she loomed over his crumpled body. "Now listen here! If you have nothing nice to say then pick yourself up and leave! I don't want to have a conversation with you if you think you can just order me around as you please! I am not some toy, I am a human being!" she growled as she crossed her arms.
Inuyasha slowly got to his feet and rubbed his head. "You bitch…" he growled.
"SIT." She screamed.
"YOU FUCKER!" he spat out as his face collided with the ground. "I CAME HERE TO APPOLLOGIZE TO YOU! AND THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT ME!?" he spat out as he stood again. "I was WORRIED about you… Shippo came back without you and you had me so worried… I thought something had happened to you… and I was right. I came here yesterday after finding the spot where it had happened… I smelt your blood… and then I come here to find out that you and that mangy wolf had already left! So now I came back today to check on you… and you're going to tell me that you're all fine and dandy, set up with the wolves… and you weren't even going to tell me, were you?" he asked as he stepped towards her.
"Why should I have?" she asked. "I went back to Kaede's village and told Sango." She commented as she looked away. "I thought you would have run off with Kikyo already anyway." She said with a snort.
"Kagome… if you had actually stayed the other day and listened to what I had to say… you would have found out that Kikyo left me. She left me… for good… she said that when the time came that we could be together again… that I should go and be happy in this life… like she would have wanted… that we would meet again in another life." Inuyasha's ears flattened against his skull and he looked to the ground. "I wanted to be with you…" he said as he took another step closer to her.
Kagome looked to the sky. "why… why NOW all of a sudden do you chose me over her… why did you wait for so long… why did you have to wait for me to decide… that I don't want to be with you anymore…" she said as her eyes became wet with unshed tears. "Do you know… how many times I cried over you…? How much you hurt me… in my heart?" she asked as she looked at him, her eyes seemed to dance like an ocean wave with the last glimpses of sun shining on the water's surface. "You broke my heart… many times… and I forgave you… many times. But this time… I think I am just going to let things go for a while…" she said as she looked away from him.
Inuyasha looked at her with sad eyes. "I know I've hurt you Kagome… but please… this time… for real… it's over between Kikyo and I… she made that very clear… Kagome... please…" he pleaded as he bowed his head and stepped closer to her. "I don't want to lose you… you mean so much to me." He said as he looked up and his eyes glimmered with sadness. "I just… want you stay by my side…" he muttered as he closed his eyes and shook his head.
Kagome stepped backwards and shook her head. "Now… is not the time to ask me something like this Inuyasha… okay? Come back… in a month… give me time to think things over…and I'm very serious… Naraku isn't a threat right now and everything is just finally starting to calm down. Give me time. In exactly thirty days I will come to Kaede's village and talk to you again… until that time… do not face me again." She said as she turned around. "sit." She muttered softly as she ran back down the Cliffside towards the main den.
Inuyasha collided with the ground and coughed as he stood. He didn't growl, yell, or glare at her. He just looked after her sadly. He stood and began a slow walking pace back towards Kaede's village.
"If that is what you want… then I will respect it to show that I really am trying for you…" he said to himself as he wandered off.

Second chapter complete :3 if any of you are wondering what Owla looks like she basically looks like a plump elderly wolf Youkai with long black hair and many wrinkles. Will update soon. Review if you like. I'd like to read about what you guys think of this so far.
