Chapter Eight: Teenagers: Young, Dumb, and Love to Have Fun (Part II)

(warning: this chapter contains alcohol consumption)


As Ino and Sakura passed around the small cups and poured the sake, Inuyasha looked at the clear liquor in his already filled cup and smiled.

"Heh... are you sure you should be serving this to Kagome and Sango over here?" The amber-eyed hanyou grinned. It was time to get the party started...

The miko and slayer suddenly froze with their hearts falling to the floor.

'Dear goodness gracious, please no!' Both Kagome and Sango thought at the same time. Blushes were slightly forming on their beautiful faces.

At the moment Inuyasha said that, the sake servers stopped pouring and looked at him, wondering what he meant.

"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked as she stopped mid-pour to Neji's cup.

"Oooooooohhhhh...!" Miroku let out loudly. The monk suddenly turned to his Inu friend and shared his devilish grin.

Upon hearing Miroku's 'Oh...!' Kagome and Sango knew it was coming. Both girls gripped their cups firmly.

All the ninjas stared at the now silent but tense Kagome and Sango, and smiled. They had a pretty good idea of what the monk and half-demon were talking about.

"Oh shit, What the FUCK did I MISS?!" Koga said surprised at the fact that he missed two incredibly hot girls being drunk at the same time. "TELL ME! What did they do? Did they make-out or SOMETHING!?"

"KOGA!" Both girls screamed at his fantasy.

"Close enough." Inuyasha told him, wanting him to get excited and a bit jealous.

"WHAT? Don't LIE Inuyasha! We didn't DO anything! Don't listen to him!" Kagome demanded and informed while her usually rosy cheeks, burned.

The ninjas began getting riled up at the juicy story that came up at the most perfect time. They ALL wanted to hear this... Suddenly they all started shouting out at Inuyasha and Miroku to tell them what happened and in detail and blah, blah, blah... Both Inuyasha and Miroku now sat next to each other and both were still grinning like there was no tomorrow.

"Inuyasha what the hell?! I thought you didn't like parties, so why are you doing THIS?" Sango demanded to know.

"Hey, it's your guys' fault! You guys dragged me here, and what? You'd rather have me in a bad mood than in a good one?" Inuyasha shot back.

Miroku decided it was time to begin the storytelling and wanted to start off with Kagome's cute little performance with her pink 'voice-enhancement-thing.' (Microphone)

"It was SO CUTE the way Kagome played with her–" Miroku was saying but was immediately thrown to the ground by the quick school girl. On top of the monk, Kagome choked him, trying to prevent the embarrassing story from being told.

As Miroku and Kagome wrestled on the ground, Inuyasha stood up, knowing that it was now up to him to tell the story. But he had another one to tell... the fact that Sango wanted to kiss him.

Knowing that she was next, Sango gulped down all the sake that was in her cup and stood up as well, staring down the smirking Inuyasha.

"Geez, Sango..."

"Inuyasha DON'T."

"It's just a little story... I mean you were drunk..."

"Shut. UP."

"And, come on, no one will blame you."

"You are THIS close Inuyasha!!"

"After all, I AM pretty handsome so you wouldn't be the ONLY girl to want to do THAT to me."

"Grrr... Inuyasha!!! I didn't DO anything to you!!"

"Ah HA! You see?! Now you're the liar Sango! How are you going to deny it? Are you trying to say that it didn't happen? That you weren't rubbin– Ah! Sango!" Inuyasha tried telling them that Sango was rubbing against him, trying to kiss him and suggesting that they leave together, but Sango pushed him to the floor and had his mouth covered by her hands.

So there they were on the floor. Kagome on top of Miroku, choking him and Sango on top of Inuyasha, shutting him up.

Still wanting to hear the rest of the story though, Koga went to the rabid Kagome and pulled her off of the scared Miroku. Kagome tried getting out of the wolf prince's hold, but he was just too strong for her. Not that Miroku wasn't strong enough to get her off, but it IS hard getting a girl with a good grip on your neck, off.

Sango was harder to get off, so instead of just Naruto trying to get her off Inuyasha, Neji and Lee had to help too. When the girls were off, Miroku and Inuyasha retreated into the safety of the ninjas.

"PHEW! Okay...! So as we were saying–" Miroku began as he pulled himself up from the floor and rubbed his sore neck.

"Kilala! Go!" Sango shouted out. The cream colored demon kitty jumped off the love seat where Sasuke was sitting and went straight to Miroku's face.

"KILALA WAIT!!!" the monk yelled out as Kilala gave him harmless, but ticklish scratches all over his neck and inside his robe. Soon enough, Miroku began laughing until he fell to the floor.

Inuyasha seized the moment to tell them the rest of the drunk Sango and Kagome story.

"KAGOME STARTED SINGING WITH THIS PINK THING AND SANGO TRIED KISSING ME AND HUMPING ME!!!!" Inuyasha finally finished rather loudly and on the scared side.

Everyone in the room froze and took a moment to let it all sink in.

"WHAT?! Kagome SIT HIM until he makes a damn crater!!" Sango yelled out, trying to get out of the three ninjas' grasp. As a matter of fact, Kiba had to join in to assist the others in holding her as well.

"NO! DON'T!" Inuyasha yelled, but was just a little too late.

"SIT BOY! SIT, SIT! SIT SIT SIT SI-- mmuphumff!" Kagome yelled out, activating the spell with her words and voice, but was stopped when Koga covered her mouth.

THUNK, THUNK, THUNK, THUNK, THUNK, THUNK. Inuyasha was lying on the floor, in a daze at what had just happened.

"Sorry Kagome, and believe me, as much as I WANTED to see you do that to Inuyasha even more times, I had to hear it..." Koga told Kagome apologetically and let her go.

Kilala popped out of Miroku's robe, giving him a rest from laughing too much and Sango, of course, was cautiously let go on the count of three.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" Naruto asked rather loudly when he saw the dog-eared boy getting thrashed into the ground at the command of the cute girl with the short skirt. ALL of the ninjas were confused and surprised.

"Oh... the spell... nothing. It's just in case Inuyasha ever gets a little out-of-hand." Kagome answered, glad that they were changing the subject..

"SO... you like OWN him something?" Ino asked Kagome, interested.

"No... its just control issues mostly..." Kagome said, remembering the countless times she'd sat him.

"Soooo... you own him?" Ino asked again. Kagome thought about the answer she gave them before and smiled.

"Yeah I guess," The miko told them with a cute smile and petting Inuyasha's no-longer hurting head (even though he was still a little pissed).

Most of the ninjas and Koga had smiles on their faces.

"Never mind that... you girls are THOSE kinds of drunks eh?" Neji said out loud with a handsome laugh and taking swigs of his sake.

Kagome and Sango kept still with pouting mouths and arms crossed. They knew it was out of their control now, so there was nothing left to do, but hope it all went away soon.

"YEAH BABY!! I'm not alone!" Sakura shouted with a fist in the air, a gleaming smile and sake spilling out of her cup.

"Yeah, you guys' are NOT alone, I mean Sakura... she's done worse... or better depending how you look at it." Kiba said making himself and others laugh.

Tenten finished her cup and poured herself some more sake. "Let's see, Sakura wants to dance with and kiss everyone, Ino gets incredibly overly emotional, Hinata turns scary, always wanting to fight and I don't know how I get..." she told them.

"You just start falling all over the place, even when you're sitting down... which is weird because you STILL have good aim when you're drunk..." Neji told his girlfriend with a charming smile and pulling her closer to him.

"Believe us... you guys are gonna fit in perfectly here..." Naruto told them pouring his third cup of sake.

Kagome and Sango looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. There was no point in fighting it anymore. Both girls brought their ceramic cups to their pink pouts and drank the rest of its sake.

"Well Sango, I guess we should make the most of this tonight and at least we're not by ourselves." Kagome told her best friend while pouring herself some more alcohol, still with reddened cheeks.

"Hey..." Kiba began. He took his cup and gulped down what was inside of it. He already had everyone's attention.

"Why are such fine girls as yourselves still single?" The canine-like ninja asked Kagome and Sango. Both girls blinked at the sudden question that was rather... NOT blunt. In fact... it was pretty damn sharp.

It seemed as tonight, the girls were incredibly prone to blushing. Kiba on the other hand, was getting a razor stare that could cut through iron from the one and only Sakura Haruno.

The miko and demon-slayer looked at each other and exchanged looks on not knowing whether they should answer or not. It was kind of a personal question...

Kagome took in a deep breath and looked around the room that all had their eyes on them two. Inuyasha's eyes though, were completely fixated on the schoolgirl, wanting to hear her answer.

"Well... we're not the ONLY single ones here... I mean, come on..." Kagome said, avoiding the question.

"No, but I mean why are YOU girls single..." Kiba restated, emphasizing the 'you.'

'Damn... Stupid retarded question!!' Kagome thought... she would GLADLY answer if the person of her... affection... wasn't in the same room as her. Inuyasha's stare was very intimidating. His eyes were begging for the answer and partly, PARTLY on the jealous side... again. But in truth... she would love to get it out of her system.

"Okay, okay... I'm single because... um... there's this guy..." Kagome paused and blushed some more. A LOT more. Inuyasha's heart was racing.

'If it's another guy I swear I'll kill him...' Inuyasha thought, still nervous.

"I mean... I really... think that he takes too long in trying to make a move. I mean... sometimes he just pisses me off! I just want him to finally SAY something to me. I want to hear the words come out of his mouth. He's a way jealous guy and SO possessive... but... I guess every good girl needs a bad boy sometimes right? That's it...! No more of that... I think I'm gonna faint or something!" Kagome finally got off her chest. Her face felt as if it were on fire! Literally, she thought she got the fever just from answering their damn question! Kagome took more of her sake and drank it in hopes of a little comfort.

"So true babe..." Sakura added after Kagome was done.

Inuyasha was hard-headed, but not enough to not get the hint. He was completely speechless. Was Kagome talking about him? There could be that other guy in her time, but he's NOT the 'bad' type. Koga was all of that, BUT he's confessed his love to her over and over again... Inuyasha just sat quiet, finished what was left in his cup, and poured more sake into his cup, filling it completely to the rim. He just got an earful; a satisfying but nerve-wracking earful.

"Well... good luck Sango... your turn." Kagome said, using her hands to try and cool herself down.

Sango was pissed. SHE was single because of a certain jerk she knew. Of course she wasn't going to tell them that because the jerk she was thinking about happened to be the monk, Miroku.

"Hmm... I'm single because..." Sango stopped, wondering if she should say because the one she cares about can't be faithful... and just doesn't love her back.

Sango remembered all the times she tried showing her affection to the monk, only to have her feelings 'considered,' and not taken seriously. Sango felt pushed aside every time she tried getting closer to Miroku. As much as she loved Miroku... Miroku did not love her in the same way. Sango was the woman he fought beside with... his companion. Her love was unrequited.

There was NO way she was going to tell them all of that... she didn't feel like being counseled by everyone tonight. She quickly glanced over to Miroku and saw him casually drinking his sake, seeming only as interested in knowing her reason as a good friend would. Sango blushed in embarrassment and in disappointment. Her heart was breaking again. The slayer mustered up her courage and crossed her arms.

"I'M single because NO MAN CAN HANDLE ME." Sango stated firmly with a 'humph' added in the end for further effect. She was satisfied with the answer she gave them. 'There... THAT ought to keep them busy.'

Sango was right. The commotion between the guys in the group was enough to keep them guessing.

Sasuke, on the other hand, couldn't help but notice her sudden change of mood there(as did Shikamaru with him being so observant, but he just didn't care). The first time she was going to answer the question, she was very pensive and even a little sad. She even looked over to the monk, only to return her gaze to her lap in disappointment. Then she gives this dumb answer that everyone actually believes. Sasuke could clearly see that Sango felt something for the monk. But judging by her reaction, and his, he probably didn't feel the same way.

"WHAT? Oh come on, I could SO handle you... if I wanted to..." Naruto declared.

"Naruto, she knocked out about THIRTY of you in less than ten seconds!" Neji corrected the blonde, automatically shutting him up.

"Well, I was doing pretty good until–" Kiba began but was suddenly cut off by Lee.

"Until she kicked the crap out of you? Oh yeah I remember that..." Lee said teasingly while receiving a glare from Kiba.

"Grrr... man Lee shut up! Whatever... so what do you mean by 'no man can handle you?'" Kiba asked Sango, now a little embarrassed.

"Well... hmm how can I say this...? I'M always doing the saving, if you know what I mean. I guess what I'm trying to say is... I don't want to be the man in a relationship... I'm sorry but, like I said, no guy can handle me." Sango said with a shrug saying 'oh well!' In reality, Sango couldn't have even said that she didn't like being the 'man' in a relationship because she was never in a relationship in the first place. Everyone in the group sat speechless... She can't be right... can she? Sango smiled. She was VERY satisfied with her answer.

"Chh... keep telling yourself that."

Sango twitched at the remark. Who in the right mind would even think of saying that to her? Sango and everyone directed their attention to where the smooth voice came from, and found Sasuke. He wasn't even looking at her. He was just listening to their conversation and heard Sango say that 'no man can handle her.'

Sasuke was a man. Sasuke could most definitely handle anything. A girl would be nothing. If anything... the girl couldn't handle or even KEEP UP with him. They were just too... troublesome, for lack of a better word. 'Thanks Shikamaru...' Sasuke thought, realizing his lazy friend had rubbed off on him.

An interested eyebrow was raised in attention by Sango.

"What are you trying to say? That you can? Huh... I highly doubt it." Sango shot back. Coal black eyes suddenly met warm brown ones in disagreement.

'Ohh's' came from the mouths of both groups as if a challenge had just been declared.

"Handle YOU?" Sasuke began cooly, "You wouldn't even be able to keep up, not that I'd even give you a chance or anything." Hearing that, made Sango grit her teeth at the cocky bastard.

"As if I'd want a chance with you. If I remember correctly, you're ass was mine when we were fighting. "

"Yeah right... then you ARE more of a moron than I originally thought you were. Very stupid of you..." Sasuke said, still keeping his cool, though a little on the annoyed side.

He just pushed Sango's button. The girl's face was etched in anger and let out a growl that could rival Inuyasha's and Koga's. She grit her teeth and punched her own hand, cracking her knuckles.

Those around Sango began to move a little more in the opposite direction

"WHAT did you say again?" The demon slayer said through her teeth. Sasuke didn't even bother looking at her, he just twirled the sake in his cup, bored.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa you two..." Lee started, trying to calm them down, "Honestly Sasuke... Don't get mad at me... but she was giving you one HELL of a time. I mean, when she threw you... it hurt US. I mean... DAMN!" said the taijutsu master of Konoha with a nod in agreement from Hyuga Neji. Lee rubbed his shoulder as if remembering the pain actually made him feel it again.

Sasuke cocked up an eyebrow with an 'are-you-fucking-crazy?' look. With this, Sango grinned. Lee's comment had definitely made her day.

"Wait though," Inuyasha spoke up, "Sango... me and KAGOME had to save you from this guy... no doubt he has some grip. And he held you down! If someone can hold you down, then they have to have some skill, I guess. Sorry Sango, but you PASSED OUT after you cheap-shot him with the help of Miroku's wind tunnel."

"YOU DID THE SAME THING!" Sango screamed.

"DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT!" The hanyou screamed back, successfully avoiding her comeback.

"THANKS INUYASHA!! Ugh!! Well, whatever! You guys wanted to know why I'm still single, and that was my answer so there!" Sango said quickly. Her ceramic cup was raised to her lips and again, she gulped down all of its contents.

Sasuke did the same thing with his sake. After that, they all changed the subject and started talking about other stuff. Sango and Sasuke were still pissed at each other, both of them thinking the other couldn't handle them and remembering the comments coming from their so-called 'comrades.'

'I can't keep up with him? Ha! He has no idea who he's messing with... jerk. And not giving me a chance?! Ch... like I'd want a chance with him anyways... stupid Sasuke. And he's a cheater... using his stupid little ninja tricks and whatever... Ughh! Ninjas! So arrogant!' Sango thought in her head, ignoring the conversation around her. Sango kept thinking about his words.

Though it was a little flattering to hear him say that he COULD handle her, even though it was out of cockiness, it did hurt her when he said he wouldn't even give her a chance.

'Not that I care about what he thinks about me or anything...' Sango felt like she was lying to herself. It felt like her heart was breaking again. 'Whatever... I'm a warrior, not some weak girl who needs to rely on some unfaithful, arrogant, or chauvinistic man.'

Sasuke too, wasn't really in a good mood anymore. He tried not to think too much about it. As if he was going to care about some girl he met not too long ago...

Even though... she really wasn't just any girl... this was Sango. The girl who truly knows how he feels, the girl who empathizes with him, relates to him and gives him something else. Something he can't really understand... he didn't even know if he WANTED to understand the unknown feeling.

Sasuke poured more sake into his cup and looked at Sango who now seemed completely out of it. Truth was... maybe he was willing to try with her. But there was so much in the way, too much to accomplish first, everything he is, has been and will be was at stake.

He lives for one thing. Revenge.

'You lack... hatred.' His brother's voice rang in the Uchiha's head. Hatred. The emotion that was key to defeating him. Oh no... he had hatred. It was just that in the past years, he opened himself up a little more, and now another emotion moving in was just one too many. He had already weakened himself too much as it is.

But in reality, he really did feel as though he wanted something more. Something was definitely missing. Living for one thing made him feel... almost empty.

Sasuke shook his head. Too much thinking was getting on his nerves and he decided to just end it right there. He knew what he had to do. There was one objective that he was certain of and that was killing Itachi. Period.

-

--

Everyone drank to their hearts' content. The ninjas of Konohagakure and the guardians of the Shikon no Tama laughed as the all fell into deeper states of unawareness. The girls were first in beginning to lose control of the way they expressed their emotions.

The boys soon got into their 'states' as well and soon enough, Naruto's house was filled with drunk or semi-drunk young adults. The only completely conscious ones were Koga, Kilala and Akamaru. Of course Kilala and Akamaru didn't drink and Koga's demon blood made it incredibly hard for him to even feel drunk. So as everyone was making fools of themselves, Koga, Kilala and Akamaru looked on amused.

Hinata and Naruto were making out furiously with the shy girl pulling his blond locks harshly. Ino and Tenten were laughing their asses off at the simplest things. Sakura flirting until the ends of time to Kiba, and he in return to her. Shikamaru was only buzzed. He didn't like drinking that much and he's supposedly the responsible one, the one to look after the rest. Choji and Shino were passed out on Naruto's floor and were most likely going to end up staying the night. Rock Lee was outside yelling at Neji to go and fight him and then he would yell to nothing in particular... then throw up. Neji and Sasuke were left in a corner... they were the silent drunks.

As for Inuyasha, the boy was talking to himself about 'no love' and Sesshoumaru and fighting techniques. Then he started talking about it all to Neji and Sasuke who were actually listening, just too drunk to respond.

Miroku was chasing Sango around the room, making grabbing motions with his hands, and falling over people, while Sango was giggling furiously at the monk. Of course, he never caught her. But then all the moving around made Sango woozy as well and soon enough, she was outside with Lee, holding her stomach and hoping she wouldn't throw up.

Kagome, came prepared with her microphone and gave them all a performance. Where it came from, no one knows. It would have been a great performance if only her words weren't completely slurred and made-up. Nevertheless, Ino and Tenten began dancing to her weird song anyway.

"Heyyyyy..." Inuyasha began, "I'm... frrrrriggin drrrunk... I dunn get it... I thought demons like... ya know... don't get drunk and ssstuff..." He told Koga.

"Well idiot, that's because you're only HALF! And actually some demons can get drunk." Koga told him. He thought it was funny how everyone was acting. Just then Sango came stumbling in and crawled to one of the walls, resting herself on it and holding her aching head.

"Ay man... dun go allll... bitin' my head off now... shit..." Inuyasha told him, "Unless... ya wanna... take this outside man..." Inuyasha said pointing to the door.

"Inuyasha, just go lie down or something..." Koga suggested.

"Man, I'll whip out tetsssussaiga on ya... Sessaiga... dunn be jealouss... jus cuz you dun have sessaiga... ass..." he slurred to a soft end. Koga couldn't help but laugh at Inuyasha's actions. It was too hilarious! The wolf demon laughed pretty loudly, his pearly fangs were showing in his open mouth and he held his stomach while bent over.

Kagome saw this and pointed a delicate finger towards Koga's direction.

"KOGA!" Kagome shrieked into her microphone, causing everyone in the room to cover their ears at the enhanced shrill sound, including Kagome herself. "Oww... Dun laugh at InuuuYashii just cuz he's drunk! Koga SIT BOY!"

THUNK.

Inuyasha was again rammed into the ground as soon as the spell activated. Inuyasha groaned in pain, but didn't bother getting up this time.

He passed out right there.

"Ooppsieeeee...! Sorry Inuyashaaaaa..." Kagome whispered into the microphone, trying to let Inuyasha 'know.'

The house was chaos. But a little while after, everyone started to slow down. Koga and Kilala were getting a little sleepy and noticed that a lot of them were already asleep or passed out. Akamaru was already asleep in one of Naruto's rooms, he gave out a long time ago. It was really late anyway.

Koga stood up and stretched and little Kilala jumped on his shoulder.

"I guess we're just gonna start headin' out now." Koga told Naruto, who was taking care of a sleeping Hinata and talking to a tired, but not drunk, Shikamaru.

"Hey man are you sure? You know you guys can crash here if you want... I mean... shiiit... I got hella room..." Naruto said trying to be as not-drunk as he can be. But he was speaking the truth. Naruto worked the most out of all the chunin and even more than most jounin. With all the missions he was given and he had taken, he was able to buy a large enough house and make a well-off living.

"Thanks, but we got two morons and a kit back at where we're staying and we don't wanna worry them... the kit gets really antsy without them, especially if Kagome's not there. Thanks though." The Wolf Prince answered.

"You need help with all of these guys?" Shikamaru asked Koga, seeing as he had four incapable ones at the moment.

"It's alright, but what about him?" Koga said pointing a thumb to Sasuke. Since they were staying on his side of town, was Koga supposed to take him home too?

"Uhhh... let's just go ask him." Shikamaru went over to a barely-awake Sasuke who leaning fully back into the sofa and nudged him gently in the arm.

"Hey, Sasuke, you going home too, or are you gonna stay here for the night?"

Sasuke opened his eyes half-way and looked at Shikamaru and Koga. He tried thinking about his answer as much as his brain could process at the moment. It took him awhile.

He didn't feel like waking up to a bunch of throwing-up, hung-over people in the morning, so he stood up and pointed to the door to give his answer.

One by one, Koga heaped Sango, Inuyasha and Kagome onto a transformed Kilala and looked around for Miroku, but couldn't find him. Koga tried to find his scent, but with all the alcohol, it was really hard to know where he was. But seeing as Koga had the keenest nose of them all, the young prince tried harder and found it.

Sasuke waited, leaning against the other side of the house, taking in the fresh air that made him feel a little better. Not too far away, Sasuke saw the monk in Sango's group flirting with a cheap geisha... though he didn't know if he should be calling her that because geishas would never go as low as she would (with the exception of some maybe). The prostitute, more like it, was using the get-up to pick up men.

Sasuke knew by now, that the monk was a womanizer, but he also knew that he wouldn't stoop so low as to flirt with a woman only looking for money. But when you're drunk, anything can happen. And of course, that lady was taking full advantage of the fact that the monk was drunk.

"Miroku! Get you're ass over here now!" Koga yelled out now that he found Miroku. Miroku turned around and grinned at Koga, pointing to the wannabe geisha as if she couldn't see. Koga marched right up to Miroku and started pulling him away from there.

"Hey! That's my client dammit! Er... I mean, he's just looking for a good time, why do you have to go and ruin everything?" The cheap woman asked. Koga said nothing and Miroku waved goodbye to the woman childishly. The 'geisha' growled in frustration and continued her nightly stride.

Semi-conscious, the group kept walking to the Uchiha residence quietly, with the occasional weird and purposeless remarks coming from Miroku's mouth.

As soon as they had arrived, Koga and Kilala made sure that everyone was inside the house safely and soundly. Knowing that they couldn't really leave a drunk Sasuke to stumble over to his house, the two demons decided to escort the ninja to his place as well.

Koga helped Sasuke walk, but when they arrived at his doorstep, a familiar scent faintly loitered in the air and forest surrounding them. Koga gently set a tired Sasuke to lean on his house wall alone and instinctively began sniffing the air. Kilala perked up her head as she caught the smell in her nostrils too and helped Koga determine the scent.

Suddenly, both Koga and Kilala caught a big whiff of the scent. Cobalt blue and crimson red eyes widened at the now recognizable smell. Kilala hissed and jumped off Koga to keep watch over Sasuke, and Koga beared his fangs in anger and sped off toward the source the hated smell.

The wolf prince turned toward a large tree and jumped up its thick and strong branches. There, attached to the tree's bark, was a saimyoushou. The bee attempted to fly away and escape but it was too late, and the demon prince of the wolf tribe slashed the evil thing with his now merciless claws.

Koga stayed there for a minute, looking at what was left of his enemy's dead spy as the pieces fell to the ground.

Naraku. Jumping to the top of the tall tree, Koga stared off into the forest's canopy, thinking of his and his friends' most hated and eternal enemy.

The moon was low and the sky was a greyish blue. In an hour or so the stars would begin to fade and the day would begin. The night wind blew gently, causing Koga to fall back into reality with a sigh. He jumped down from the tree and went back to Kilala and Sasuke.

When both demons were done helping the half-asleep, drunk ninja, they walked to their temporary house. Kilala went straight to were Sango and Kagome were sleeping and Koga plopped himself on the couch.

"Ginta. Hakkaku." Koga said in a tone of voice so that they would wake up and hear. Both demons opened their eyes wearily and turned their attention to their Prince.

"Yeah boss?" Ginta and Hakkaku said simultaneously almost in a whisper. Koga got in a comfortable position and closed his eyes.

"Guard duty outside. Just be on the lookout until morning. I just took out a saimyoushou and I wanna make sure nothing else happens." Koga told them casually. Ginta and Hakkaku both sat up, stretched themselves and yawned.

"Sure boss." They answered without objection. They stood up stretching a little more and headed out the door. They stood watch in the trees surrounding the house for more advantage and cover, and with their keen senses, they were great night watch guards. They know how great of a leader their Prince is, but most of all, they know how loyal and caring he is as a friend.

Koga looked at the straw-blinded window and tried to stop thinking about Naraku, but the smell on his claws kept reminding him... how much he wanted to kill Naraku.

Ways of torture played in Koga's head. No one messes with him. Ask any of the other tribes; they all knew how ruthless Koga could be when handling enemies. After all, his tribe's reputation was as the strongest of them all... known for their success in working together, being the fittest and oldest of all the wolf demon clans in the region, and of course, their young Prince. Reasonable and negotiable, determined and strong, merciful when appropriate and cutthroat when necessary. A true and natural-born leader.

And now... Everything that was passed down to him, everything that he had built, helped grow...

"Damn him..." Koga muttered to himself. He raised his claws in front of him, imagining Naraku's head in his hands... his red eyes lifeless this time. His claws fisted slowly as if to crush the delusory head once and for all.

That saimyoushou. So Naraku had been keeping close watch on them after all. It felt as if nothing could escape from him. Naraku knew where they were, who they talked to, when they got there... Koga was going to have to tell all of them about it tomorrow.

The wolf prince snorted to himself and turned once more on the couch. He was sick of thinking about his enemy. Naraku was only worth his time for one thing and one thing only... killing.

Koga closed his eyes in no time fell into a finally comfortable and restful sleep. Turns out after a long night of getting to know the ninjas' meaning of fun, took more of a toll on him than he had thought.

His real concern at the moment was waking up to four different hangovers.


I love Koga... he is so kick ass... well yeah that was CAPITULO NUMERO OCHO (chapter number eight!)
