Inuyasha watched as Kagome simply walked away. He had lost her as a mate? She had been willing? He knew she loved him but didn't realise it was enough to mate. He hung his head low as he soon got up and jumped into the highest tree. As he sat there, away from the eyes of his friends he cried. He let out the lose and pain he felt in his heart. He let himself finally feel everything for Kagome, in that instant he realise with alarming clarity all that he could have had. Could but now cant.
Kagome simply walked away, she didn't shed tears, she didn't have any left for him. Shippou saw his mamma wasn't crying and so he jumped onto her shoulder. She smiled kindly at her adopted son and continued on her way. Although she knew not where she was going she knew she had to keep walking. Almost as if her legs were out of her control.
Kouga caught the scent of mutt-face but no Kagome. He simply ran his usual whirl wind way to the group hoping for a scent.
"Get out of here wolfy, go back to your little pack boy. I'll even throw in a bone for ya" Inuyasha said to Kouga, as he was itching for a fight. It had been 4 days and Kagome had still not returned. She really did leave him.
"Your one to talk mutt-face. Where is my woman? You let anything hurt her and I swear I will-" his words were cut off as he felt a hand on his back. He turned and grabbed his loves hand. "Oh Kagome how I have missed you" he whispered to himself as he looked into her eyes. However something was different about her, she was not smiling nor was she frowning. Her face was simply empty.
She glanced to Inuyasha and that look, the one so similar to Kikyo's sent chills down to his very core. Then he saw the shards around her neck. Saw how some were missing. Saw how she held herself as though she were in pain. Then he knew. He knew something very bad had happened to her.
She fell into Kouga's arms and began to cry. She couldn't let Inuyasha hold her. She knew Kouga cared so much and that was what she needed right then and there. She needed someone who truly cared about her to hold her and let her know everything would be okay.
Shippou soon made his presence known as he ran to Sango and cried. He simply said "Kagome has been hurt, very badly. Not in just physical ways either. Demons, demons are bad." and with that he fell into blackness. He lay in Sangos arms as Sango realised what he was saying and began to cry. Miroku simply standing shocked that something so bad could happen to one so innocent, so pure, so loving as Kagome. The Kamis were not being fair. How much bad has his girl got to go through?
Kouga picked her up, holding her close. "She is coming with me to my pack, you can come. I don't care for you mutt-face. You let her get hurt, you let her become like this." Inuyashas head fell as he knew the words were true. He should have followed. But as he does he then got up and left, leaving a shocked trio and an empty miko. All did not dwell though as they all left for the wolf demons den.
Sango knew though that Kagome would be taken care of there, the arrival proved that.
All the demon pack had worried as they heard the tale of Kagomes last few days. Every demon cared deeply for the miko that had saved there pack, they all felt loyalty to her, and that only was enhanced by there alphas unrelenting love for the girl. She was part of the pack, she was there sister. Her ties were strong to this pack and will remain like that for all of a demon's life.
