Chapter 10

Kouga POV

"I don't get it. Why would Kagome help Naraku?" Inuyasha asked,

"For the last time Inuyasha, SHE'S NOT HELPING HIM." Sango shrieked. She had been leaning against Kirara but was towering over Inuyasha in a second. She took her place back next to Kirara on the ground and sighed. Her injuries were taking a while to heal and had left her restless and frustrated. But her injuries weren't the only in the group. Everyone had been seriously injured by Kagome.

"It's like the last time she was captured." Miroku explained

"Akago probably took over her soul. Because we betrayed her and you chose Kikyo it probable made the job easier. And somehow Naraku was able to convince Kagome that Kouga was against her too." Inuyasha huffed and crossed his arms.

"I can't believe Naraku would stoop this low." He muttered.

"Now you're calling him realizing the potential Kagome has low?" Sango shrieked. "I should pound you right now!" she threatened.

"But you won't" Kikyo murmured from beside the fire. Sango glared at her and started to rise before Miroku pulled her back down onto his lap. Sango pulled Shippo from Miroku's lap and held me in her arms to keep herself calm.

"Let's not fight with each other. Out real enemy, is Naraku, and sadly Kagome."

"So we have to go through Kagome to get to Naraku." Kikyo stated.

"Oh I know you would love that." Sango muttered Inuyasha clenched his sword.

"You leave Kikyo out of this. You wanted her gone too!" Inuyasha growled.

"No! I wanted her to stay but you made me choose between her and Miroku! I never wanted this! Look what's it done." Sango sobbed. From the shadows Kouga sighed. All they ever did was argue, he would have to come up with a plan to save Kagome on his own. He stood up silently and walked away from the campsite. It was a mistake to ask them for help in the first place.

"Wolf demon" he heard someone call. He turned around to see Inuyasha clay pot mate coming toward him. Everyone had stopped bickering to look at them. Kouga raised his eyebrow in inquisition.

"I can help you find her." Kikyo said, Kouga's eyes lit up with hope.

"How?" he asked,

"Through the bond of our souls" Kikyo answered "It's the only lead you've got now. Naraku has moved his castle and while we stumble around looking for it we'll be wide open for an attack. But if we find Kagome it will lead us right to Naraku." She explained.

Kouga nodded, "When do we start?" he asked.

"Obviously not now stupid we're all hurt." Inuyasha muttered. Kouga growled this was going to be a long trip.

Kouga made it his goal not to say a word to any of these people unless he had too. The only thing that kept him form raining on their parade was the thought of Kagome; helpless and lost. They were only doing this to find Naraku. Secretly they all wanted Kagome to come back.

Well everyone except Kikyo.

Kikyo had been very cold lately; snapping at anyone who got in her way. But Kouga guessed it was to be expected. Inuyasha still obviously hadn't decided between her and Kagome. Even though Kagome was clearly taken.

Kanae whimpered and I wrapped his furs tighter around him. I'd been forced to feed him mashed fruits and vegetables for the past few days he didn't look like he could last any longer. His rib cage poked against his skin and the only movements he made were feeble ones. My heart ached just to see it.

I couldn't even provide for my son, much less save my wife. Tears blurred my vision but I held them back. Men never show their tears. I bowed me head so to block my eyes with my bangs and stared hard at my legs.

Why? What did Kagome ever do. The only person that could, that did have a grudge on her was…Kikyo.

Could it be? Now that he thought about it…

The more Kouga thought about it the more the thought grew until it all suddenly made sense. Kikyo had betrayed them all. She didn't care about Sango and Miroku; why would she?

And she had lost Inuyasha and come back to find him falling for another girl, her incarnation. He could almost see where she was coming from…almost. But he wouldn't let anyone get away with hurting his Kagome.

Kouga waited until everyone was engulfed in their work for setting up camp, then silently slipped away wrapping Kanae in the furs that he had worn on his legs. He had to get moving if he was going to get anywhere tonight.

The trees blew by Kouga in a blur, the wind whipping his ponytail back and piercing his skin. But he didn't notice all he was focused on the was the faint scent he smelt of Kagome. The weird thing was it was in the opposite direction Kikyo had been leading them.

What was going on? Could Kikyo be working with Naraku? She had done it on many occasions to get what she wanted. Kouga growled Kikyo had to be taken care of if he was ever going to get Kagome back.

It was too late to keep going tonight, and now that he knew the area where Kagome was he could make the others turn around. Spinning on his heel he sprinted back the way he had come.

This time with a plan set, and knowing where he had to go, it took him only minutes to get back to the campsite. Kanae had fallen asleep right before he had caught Kagome's scent but Kouga had noticed that his aura grew brighter the stronger Kagome's scent got.

This would help him find her in the future too.

Kouga soon skidded into the campsite. The soft fire illuminated Miroku and Sango's sleeping forms on their blankets. Inuyasha was dozing in a nearby tree, keeping watch while the rest slept as usual.

Before when Kagome had been here Inuyasha had stayed down with the group and sat near Kagome. Kouga knew he didn't need to sleep in a tree to sense his enemies. Did Kikyo know this too? Another thing Kagome had over her.

Kikyo was sitting near the fire staring into it leaning back on her hands. Setting Kanae down to sleep Kouga crossed over to her. He stood waiting for her to notice him. She slowly turned her head up to stare at him.

Without waiting to see if she was following Kouga spun on his heel and walked into the forest. He waited until he thought they were far enough for any of the others to hear if they woke up, then turned around. Surprisingly Kikyo had followed him.

"We need to talk" He growled

"About?" she replied

"Kagome." He replied, at the word Kikyo stiffened. She probably did before but he hadn't been looking for it then. "I know what you did." He continued

"Oh you do, do you?"

"Yes, turning Naraku on her. Leading us the wrong way," he shifted feet releasing the tension that was building in his legs. If he killed her now it would only create more problems. "How did you manage that with Naraku anyway?" Kouga asked

Kikyo stared at him as emotionless as ever. "He had taken interest in her from the start. Taking notes on he techniques and raw power." Kouga could hear the jealously in her voice.

"He wanted her power to be his. And he wanted her; no man can simply ignore beauty. And he had his uses for me too. Giving him any information I knew about the Shikon Jewels for example. Now all he needs is yours!" Kikyo launched herself at Kouga but he easily moved out of the way catching her hand that she slid the hidden knife into. Swinging his other forearm he caught her neck against the tree behind her.

"Why are you telling me this?" Kouga asked

"You can't tell anyone. Who would believe you? Inuyasha? He's madly in love with me. We deserve each other. Miroku and Sango? They can't survive without Inuyasha and probably useless without each other too. They won't go against him. Even if you do manage to make any of them see reason. It'll be too late; Kagome as we know it will be completely gone."

Kouga growled and added the pressure to her neck. He squeezed her wrist until she dropped the knife and watched as he eyes grew wide.

"Yo….u..ca…n't…kil..l…m..e." Kikyo sputtered

"One good reason" Kouga snarled

"Ca..n't…fi..n..d…her….on…yo..u..r…ow…n" She gasped quickly running out of air. Kouga growled; she was right, if he killed her Inuyasha would be able to tell instantly and wouldn't believe a word he said neither would Sango or Miroku and he needed their help. So for the time being Kikyo had to stay.

But that didn't make him release the hold he had on her. He wanted her to feel the pain she had caused him and Kagome. Her face turned red and she struggled feebly. Disgusted Kouga let her drop to the ground. I'll have my vengeance soon.

Naraku POV

This was impossible. Hours of work and she was still fighting. Nothing could physically hold that much power. But she was, she did. If we didn't break through soon she wouldn't be ready before Inuyasha and his companions get here. They were the only thing standing in my way of seizing this land.

If Kikyo held of her side of the deal, they should be delayed for as long as he needed. But Naraku had learned to depend too much on one person. He usually had to take things into his own hands. Standing gracefully he left the room. The servants pressed against the wall as he walked by or simply turned around and walked a different way so as not to get in his way. Those who did never lasted long.

Naraku slid open the door to his rooms. Kagome laid on the mat her eyes closed. That was probably due to Akago sitting near her in a meditating position. He had grown from the baby to a child but Naraku didn't bother to ask or wonder about it. It would be revealed in time.

Kagome's beauty left him breathless. The only thing that annoyed him was her determination. It got in the way at all the wrong times. Like this one, if that damned wolf demon hadn't stole into his castle- which was still a mystery- and he had to move yet again, Kagome would be completely under his power. He had given her renewed strength to keep fighting. And Naraku could only wait until it grew weak again then he could completely break it.

Kouga POV

Kagome sat in between my legs as we watched the sun set from the cliff we always went to. I had let my hair out, because I knew she liked it that way and tilted my head back as the wind blew through it. I never felt this relaxed before Kagome had been mine.

Kagome gasped and pointed to the sky, "A shooting star! Quick Kouga make a wish!" then closed her eyes and clasped her hands together wishing hard. I'd smirked at how cute she was then closed my eyes too.

I wish that I'll be a good father to this baby,and a good husband to my wife. When I opened my eyes I found that Kagome had turned around to peer intently at me.

"So what'd you wish for?" she asked

"That's not how it works." I smiled, she pouted

"Please?" I smiled softly, how did I ever get such a beautiful wife as this still confused me sometimes. But I must have done something right.

"That I'll be able to love you" I said kissing her forehead "And this baby" and rested my hand on her swelling stomach "For as long as I can."

"That's so depressing." Kagome frowned but then she smiled "Other than that- it was sooo sweet! Thanks honey." She squealed and leaned in for a kiss.

I laughed again at her cuteness, than cupped my hand over her cheek pulling her closer…

Kouga sat up quickly in his blankets, the dream had seemed so real. Tears welled up in his eyes but he quickly shook them away. Kagome… Someone sat up in their blankets somewhere else around the camp and Kouga looked up. Sango met his gaze and smiled, but he looked away. He still hadn't forgiven them for what they did to Kagome.

But if he was going to take down Kikyo…, he sat up and rolled up his blankets careful not to wake Kanae. Then he walked over to Sango and Miroku's blankets'. They looked up in surprise when he approached. He usually avoided any contact with them.

"Can I sit?" he asked

"Of course" Miroku answered quickly, Kouga sat in the dust and sighed. He didn't know where to start really. But at least he didn't have to make sure Inuyasha and Kikyo didn't hear. It would make his job so much more easier if they all found out together. Since Kikyo was expecting it. But he needed Miroku and Sango on his side at least.

"Kikyo is working with Naraku." Way to go slow. Kouga thought

Sango gasped but Miroku only nodded his head. "I figured as much." He murmured.

( (A.N) This story will get WAY better cuz I just bought Justin Bieber's ALBUMS! So happy listening to them ALLL the time. HE IS AMAZING! #1 youngest artist since Stevie Wonder. :D so proud.)

"You knew?" Sango asked

"Just doubts!" Miroku said quickly instinctively bringing his hands up to defend himself from Sango's anger. "But the real problem is; what to do" he said turning back to Kouga.

Kouga shook his head "So this is what I had planned…"

I Know cliff hanger but I haven't really ironed that part out yet. So…. Yea. JUSTIN BIEBER. .com
