Suddenly, a whirlwind of dust and leaves rushed into the clearing, knocking Kagome down and Shippo into the bushes.

A deep voice called to her,"Hey, Kagome." A tall, thin boy with wolf-pelt clothing stood before her. "Koga……,"she said, surprised.

"Kagome," he breathed, staring into her eyes. He helped her up off the ground; grasping her hand.

"I have not yet defeated Naraku, but when I do, I'll take you from that mutt, Inuyasha," he growled. "He's left you alone , putting you in danger, as usual." "I……," Kagome started.

"Kagome, Inuyasha is com…..," Shippo cried, but was short. For Inuyasha had hit him hard on his tiny head. "Owww!"

"You didn't have to give me an introduction," the half-demon huffed. "I knew she'd be here."

He stalked his way to Koga. "I knew I smelled something crawling this way."

"You stay out of this dog, I've come to talk to Kagome; not play tag with you."

" Why you…..!" the half-demon growled, trying to take a swing at this wolf-demon adversary.

"Inuyasha, sit!" Kagome said coolly. Yet again he hit the ground with a crash.

"Would you quit with the "sit" commands, already," he snarled. He tried the same trick another time, but Koga jumped clear of his attack.

All Kagome could do was look down, sigh, and shake her head. Both boys took a break from their tussle when she started to walk away.

"Kagome…." They both said, then looked at each other with consent.

When she didn't answer them they both started speaking more.

"Kagome," Inuyasha stated, walking in front of her; his hot-headed mood melted away instantly. But she kept on walking.

Koga pushed Inuyasha to the side and tried his way. He stopped her by grabbing her hand again. She felt mad.

I wish they'd leave me alone, jerks……..

She jerked his hand from her own.

"I'm going home, and Inuyasha don't follow me," she flared. The look in her eye could have melted lead.

Inuyasha flinched as she approached him for her final words.

"I mean it."

"she's in quite the mood today," Miroku whispered to Sango.

"You're telling me," the demon-slayer spoke. Her two-tailed cat mewed lightly as she followed Kagome to the well.

Kilala (the two-tail) watched her go back to her time.

"Well let's get back to Kaede's village before Inuyasha's anger gets the best of him," the monk said, but not before he received an intentional blow from the said person.

"Yes, please," growls Sango, while Miroku rubs his head to ease the pain.

"Thanks, puppy, I had to tell her something," the wolf-demon cried.

"Tell her what, whelp?" Inuyasha retaliated, with bared fangs.

"None of your business."

"Well, I ain't leaving til you tell me," he growled, cracking his knuckles.

"I'm just asking if she's in good health," Koga sighed.

Then Koga started running off, making the whirlwind around him, kicking up debris.

Inuyasha's white hair swirled around him as the wind blasted away.

"Damn…..," he whispered under his breath.

He moved his way to the well. He had the urge to go after her, but the look she gave him earlier killed it in an instant,

All he could do was wait for her there.
