Chapter 3:Meeting up with Kouga

The inutachi was a day away from Kouga's pack. The sun was sitting and the pack was getting ready to set camp.

Kagome's lust for hunting was back again and it worse than ever before. "Time for hunting…"she muttered.

Sango heard her, "Excuse me?"

"Dinner" was her only reply. With that said she grabbed her bow and arrows and crept out of the campsite.

She ran. She ran as fast as her feet can take her. She feels like a volcano exploding. She wants to smell the scent of copper in the air and the red liquid dripping from her hands. She throws her hand in the air, ughh I sound like a blood crazed vampire. Ok kagome, calm down, deep breaths. Within seconds she had spotted her prey. It wasn't much of a challenge, just a nest of rabbits, but that's exactly what she needed: their speed. She slowly approached them and they froze. She eyed their every single move and they did the same, she took one more step and that was it. They were running at full speed and Kagome was right after them. She screamed in joy out loud. Oh kami, this is wonderful! But it's time to get back to business, I need to catch those damn bunnies. She sped on faster and hid behind the surrounding trees while doing so. Eventually the rabbits slowed down and Kagome pounced on them.

"Oomph" Underneath her were three knocked out bunnies. She giggled, "Well that made my job easier."

She continued giggling the whole way back to camp. She held up the rabbits by their ears in front of Sango. "I…caught dinner."

"What's so funny?"

"Oh it's nothing. I just learned I have interesting hunting strategies" And I've become partially crazy, but I'm not going to say that. She scratched her head and laughed sheepishly. She took her place by the fire and waited patiently for Sango to finish. After dinner Kagome, Sango, and Shippo went to the hot springs, while the lecher struggled behaving himself. Everyone fell asleep peacefully and Kagome was left wide awake thinking about the future.

Dawn was approaching and Kagome went about her morning routine. By the time everyone else was awake, breakfast was ready and the gang was almost ready to be on the go, once again.

"Good morning," she said while handing everyone their breakfast.

Shippo yawned and wiped the sleep out of his eyes, "'morning 'kaa-san"

"Good morning Kagome"

"Good morning Lady Kagome"

"I take it you had a good night's rest?"

Miroku got a perverted grin on his face and Sango turned a light crimson.

"Well you see…" Sango started, Kagome chuckled. "Don't worry Sango, I'm sure it was a complete accident," she cut her off remembering the way she found Sango and Miroku when she came back from getting breakfast. Sango's face was in the crook of Miroku's neck with her arm over his chest and his face in his hair with his arm around her waist on her behind.

Sango looked away, "Yea right, accident"

Kagome clapped her hands, "Alright hurry up, we have lots of ground to cover"

By twilight, the pack was at Kouga's den. He had smelt them earlier and came out to greet 'his woman'.

"Kagome!" He ran up to her and held both of her hands. "How's my woman doing? Did you finally come to become me mate?"

Kagome pulled her handsaway from him and her face turned serious. "Kouga, I want to get this straight between us with no hard feelings, okay?" He nodded. "Kouga, I am not, nor will I ever be your woman. Don't interrupt. I didn't come here to mate you, but to ask for your assistance in defeating Naraku."

Kouga forgot what he was going to say the first time, "And the mutt agreed to this?"

"No, not really?

"Speaking of the mutt, where is he?"

"Who knows?" she replied, "We just want to end this with or without the half-breed's help."

He stared at her in disbelief. She just insulted the guy she used to defend the most. Wow. was the only word on his mind.

"Should we get going?"

"You just came, stay at the den for the night while I get the wolves ready for travel." They nodded and set their selves up for a well needed rest.

Oh I wanted to mention before how much hate, anger, and sadness is inside of Kagome that she doesn't show. Ummm I guess that was the main point of the first chapter.

And sorry for not uploading in a long while, so I'll have another chapter up tomorrow and from then on I'll try uploading chapters more often. I already have most of the story planned out, but it's easier daydreaming what's going to happen than actually putting it in words…hehe. Thanks for the reviews, hope I get some more! :]
