---------------------------------------------------Kagome's POV ---------------------------------------------------

The whirlwind drew in closer and I took a deep breath. Today was not the day to be seeing Koga. If he saw me without Inuyasha who knows all the things he could and would say. Ugh, this was going to be a nightmare. Koga cam to a stop, he looked around scanning our small crowd. His eyes rested on me and I watched a grin spread across his face.

"Hey there Kagome. Where's the mutt?"

For once, I laughed. The sound of someone else calling Inuyasha a name besides me, was good to hear. I had been alone with the name calling lately, and to me it sounded really good to know that Koga could do it too.

Everyone looked at me very strangely as I laughed to the point where I was on the verge of hysterics. I knew it wasn't that funny but I had been going through a lot and this was the first time I had laugh in awhile. I managed to recover and take a deep breath before I tried to talk again.

"Sorry guys," I said turning to Koga. "He went to look for Kikyo."

I realized that I had barely choked out her name. Lately it had been occurring to me that I was really starting to hate her. I knew hate was a strong word but I still couldn't help but think it. I really was starting to hate her.

"Oh," Koga replied. He almost sounded disappointed. Then he got mad. "That mutt, Inuyasha hurt you didn't he?"

Koga was really making me feel better. It was nice to know that someone still felt feelings about me, and seeing someone jealous and angry was making my day much better. Maybe me and Koga could be together. I care about him and I know he cares about me. It could work.

"Don't worry Koga, I'm ok."

I saw him relax a little.

"So what brings you here?"

That's when Koga blushed. His face turned the deepest crimson I had ever seen, and that was very unusual. He was usually ok with being blunt. He stepped back and put his head down, waiting for his face to recover. When he looked up, he was the old Koga again.

"I just wanted to come and hang out. Maybe you'd like to come on a . . . ugh . . . well, now that the mutt is gone, I though me and you could finally . . . hook up."

OMG! Koga just asked me to be with him?!?!? What could I say. Well, like I said we could work. It is a good time to get together with Koga to help me for get about Inuyasha.

---------------------------------------------------Inuyasha's POV---------------------------------------------------

Kikyo? Where are you Kikyo? I've been following your scent for days. Where are you? Kikyo . . . I need you. I've realized that I can live without my Kag- I mean Kagome. All I need is you and I can do it. I promise.

I can't believe I haven't been able to find her yet. What is wrong with me? I have been searching for her ever since Kagome left and nothing. A few scents here and there but they have been virtually hopeless. I am almost to the point where I just want to give up and go back to my Kag- NO! Damn it! I won't go back to her! She left me! It's supposed to be a good thing that she is gone!

Time to stop for the night. I can rest up here and continue on this path tomorrow. I stopped on a small cave that I found at a clearing in the woods. It would ran so I made sure I had a fire going. I laid down on the call floor and readied myself to fall asleep.

Some time passed and I found it difficult to rest with all that was on my mind. I heard a faint noise come from the cave opening. I sat up and naturally went to check it out. I clutched my sword ready to attack whatever it was that was there.

Sweat dripped down my face as my nervousness rose. I inched closer and could hear the steady rhythm of the rain outside the cave. The constant rhythm managed to calm my nerves down a little, but I could still feel the hairs on my neck standing up.

A dark figure swept across the opening of the cave slowly and my nervousness returned. Could it be? I moved closer and the figure move away. I sighed and figured it was just some stupid human here to try and "slay" me. I turned and grabbed a piece of wood in the pile waiting to be burned. I carefully lit one end so I could see who the figure was and try to get him to go home.

When I turned around the figure was gone. Apparently they had made a mistake. I shrugged it off and turned around. I jumped back in surprise to see the figure in front of me. This time I saw more than just a shrouded shadow. I got a good full look at who was lurking in my cave. I almost passed out when I realized who was standing before me. It was not a human at all and most definitely not a man.

My mouth went dry and I found myself having trouble speaking. The last person I expected to see was standing before me. I could but utter one single and strained word.

"Kik- Kikyo."
