A few days have past since Kagome almost drowned. Inuyasha never left her side and yet he doesn't know why? He feels like he has to stay by her for if he leaves her... that he'd be torn to shreds. Or he would feel like his heart was being pulled out of him. The more he thought about this the more he thought that maybe... this girl could make... him happy... Maybe just maybe Kagome could make him happy... but... that was if she cared for him... For a while now he felt like she hated him but of course he couldn't really blame her... He took her from her home and he was going to use her to get to the treasure but now... he wasn't so sure anymore.

The longer he watched her sleep the more pain he felt go to his heart. It felt like arrows were going through it and they wouldn't stop. Than he heard a knock on the door and he calmly said "come in..." Than a teenage boy with a fox tail and feet walked in. He wore a blue shirt and matching blue pants. His hair was a orange/red and was pulled back with a blue ribbon and he walked toward Inuyasha with a worried look on his face.

Inuyasha calmly said "don't worry Shippo. I'm sure that she'll wake up..." Shippo walked toward Kagome as he said "I know sir... By the way Captain, we found a new demon. And he wishes to become part of the crew." Inuyasha was confused as he asked "what kind of demon is he?" "A wolf demon his name is Koga." Said a calm/sad Shippo. Inuyasha was in thought as he said "well, wolf demons are good at tracking... They are also good when it comes to battle... Alright he can join the crew."

Than they heard a strange sound and it was coming from Kagome. Inuyasha looked at her as he asked "Kagome, can you hear me at all?" When he saw her eyes open he was happy. Even all the pain in his heart had stopped. Kagome looked at Inuyasha as she asked "how long have I been out?" Shippo calmly said "a few days. I was just telling the captain that we have someone that wants to be a crew member..."

Kagome didn't know what to do cause she wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing. So all she did was smile. Inuyasha looked away hoping to hide the blush on his face as he said "yeah we have a new crew member... a wolf demon named Koga..."

As soon as she heard the name Koga fear entered her eyes. Inuyasha was puzzled by the sudden fear in Kagome's eyes as he asked "Kagome... what's wrong? Do you know Koga?" She had to act like she doesn't cause she doesn't want to bring up her past so she said "no... I don't, I don't know anyone named Koga..."

He had a feeling that she was lying but he decided to let it go for now and would ask her later on about it. But he was just so glad that she was awake now and for that he was truly grateful. Inuyasha calmly said "well now that your awake you don't need company anymore..." Kagome calmly said "uh Captain... if it isn't much to ask... is it ok if you make sure that Koga stays away from me... please... I have a bit of a fear with wolves..."

He nodded and he left going to meet the wolf demon known as Koga. When Inuyasha reached the meeting room he saw a man with long brown hair in a high ponytail and he had sky blue eyes. He wore strange fur clothing but to Inuyasha something wasn't right about him... This wolf demon gave him some bad vibes... The man looked at Inuyasha and asked "can you tell me if the Captain of this ship will be here soon? I wish to see if I'd become a member of the crew."

Inuyasha sighed as he said "I'm the captain of this ship and you have become a member of this ship... But if you make one mistake you'll regreat it. Also you stay away from one girl that's on here you got that Koga?" Koga asked "who sir? Who is this girl that you want me to stay away from?"

Inuyasha had a feeling that he shouldn't use Kagome's name so he just had to think of a way to not give her name out when he's around. So he said "a girl with long black hair and chocolate brown eyes... that's all you need to know. If you go near her at all than I'll make you regret it got that wolf boy?"

Koga gulped as he said "yes Captain Inuyasha sir!" Than Inuyasha left and went to his room while one of the crew members took Koga to his room. When Inuyasha got to his room he looked at a painting of a woman with long black hair and brown eyes. He remembered when the painting was made... it was made when he was a child and after her death...

He never forgave himself for her death for they only killed her because her son was a half demon. Inuyasha sadly stared at the painting remembering that very day of his childhood where his life changed... He pretends to be a demon so he could get the treasure he needs to find a cure for that illness... for it was his fault that she got sick... His only words were "I'm so sorry mother..."
