Chapter 13: Koga

As they ventured through the mountains, Kagome suddenly stopped. "Why'd ya stop?"

"I don't know."

"What da ya mean ya don't know?!"

"I just have this strange, yet familiar feeling around this area."

"Familiar fee-" Inuyasha recognized the scent coming from behind them. He growled and prepared his sword. "Kagome, behind me."

"Huh? Why?"

"Just do as I- GAH!" A whirlwind appeared in front of them, landing on top of Inuyasha, digging him into the ground.

"Kagome!" The wolf-demon spoke as he grabbed the Miko's hands. "How ya been." Kagome got really confused, as she didn't recognize the demon in front of her.

"Um…I don't mean to be rude but, who are you?" Koga paused for a few moments before he heard the hanyou growl below him. Angered, the wolf grabbed him by the collar and held him in the air. "Oi, Mutt! What hell happened to her!"

The monk put his hand on Koga's shoulder to try and calm him down. "Koga, calm down. Let me explain." A few minutes later. "And that's what happened."

"I see…" Koga stood up and slowly walked towards Inuyasha. He looked up in confusion until he felt a fist connect with his face, causing the hanyou to fly into a rock. "Damn you, Mutt! I knew you wouldn't be able to protect her properly!"

"Oh, wanna go wolfy! I'll be happy to finally put an end to your attempts with Kagome!" They lunged at each other. They were about to slash but was stopped by Hiraikotsu blocking their path.

"Stop it you two. It's no one's fault for what happened. Kagome decided to make that decision by herself."

"I don't care what happened. If it wasn't for you, she wou-" Large flapping sounds interrupted Koga, as the group looked above. Huge shadows covered the sky. A gust of wind came through the group. As they regained their strength, they realized one person was missing.

"Where's Kagome!"

"KYA!" The gang looked up to find the Miko in the claws of a bird of paradise.

"KAGOME!" Koga and Inuyasha yelled, as they jumped towards the bird to rescue her, but crashed into each other, falling back to the ground.

"Stop getting in my way, bastard!"

"ME! I would say the same to you, Mutt!"

"I'm going to be the one to save her! Just stay out of it. Unless you wanna end up as bird food like last time!"

"I'm going to save her. And once I do, she'll finally understand that I'm stronger than you. That way she'll leave you and come crying back to me!"

The two kept bickering until Kagome began to get annoyed. "ENOUGH!" The two stopped and stared at her. "Stop being children and get me down from here!" The Miko was carried over the top of the mountain, as they disappeared into the mist.

"Looks like we'll have to fight later."

"Yeah, we have bigger things to worry about." The two called a truce and raced up the mountain, where Kagome was taken.

With Kagome

"WAAH!" the Miko screamed as she was thrown into the spit of skull and bones. "EEK! Why am I in here with skeletons?! This is disgusting!" The bird of paradise with two heads came down from above and landed in front of her.

"Why did you bring me here!"

"Kukukuku. Puny human, your bait for that little wolf demon." He inched closer towards her, causing her to move backward. She looked around for anything she could use as a weapon when she found an old bow and arrow.

She took her chance and grabbed the weapon, aiming it at the demon. "And what do you think you're gonna do with that, human. That weapon is too old for use. It'll break the moment you try to shoot!" His pace sped up, baring his fangs at her.

I know I don't have much of a chance. But it's all I can do right now. I have to waste time until Inuyasha can get here. She pulled the arrow back, the bow creaking as its strings are pulled. It's not gonna last much longer. I have to shoot now! Kagome released the arrow, hitting one of the brothers in the shoulder.

"Damn you!" The demon lunged at the Miko. Kagome ran for her life, but was too slow and was soon caught by the claws of the bird, pinning her to the ground, hard. A sharp pain coursed through her leg. "You really thought you could get away from us."

"I think it's time we show her what happens to people when they disobey us, huh brother?"

"I think your right!" Kagome closed her eyes and waited for something to happen to her. Inuyasha…

Just as the demon was about to sink its teeth into the Miko, he was punched into the rock by a huge force. "YOUR NOT GONNA TOUCH HER!" Kagome slowly got up and looked behind her to find Inuyasha and Koga standing in front of her.

"Inuyasha!" At the mention of his name, the hanyou turned around and quickly ran to Kagome, soon followed by the wolf.

"Kagome. Are you alright?"

"That thing didn't do anything to ya did he?"

"You punched him before he could." Inuyasha sighed as he held out his hand for her. He looked to his right and found Koga doing the same thing. They glared at each other and lightning shot between the two as their anger built up.

Kagome found this annoying and sighed as she took both of their hands. They gently pulled her up to her feet when she winced and fell to her knees. "Oi!" The demons look down to find a large cut on her leg.

"What did that bastard do!"

"This must've been when he pinned me down and I hit the bones." Rumbling was heard in the distance and they looked back at the bird beginning to stand his ground.

"So you finally made it, wolf."

"Seems like you haven't changed since the last time, bird-brain."

"I've come back from the dead, and now it's time for my revenge!" The demon lunged forwards but didn't get far as it was kicked in the head by Koga.

"Time to finish this!" Inuyasha jumped and slashed his sword down. "KAZE NO KIZU!" the claws of light hit the bird, tearing it apart. The demon disappeared, and in its place, a small ball of light.

As Kagome clumsily walked over to regain her memory, Inuyasha looked away. I don't want her to remember Koga, but it is still apart of her. Just as she was about to fall, Inuyasha caught her and helped her towards her memory.

Just like before, as soon as she touched the light, it was absorbed into her body. She stumbled back a bit, holding onto her head as memories rushed in. As soon as she settled, Koga pushed Inuyasha out of the way and grabbed Kagome's hands.

"So, you remember me now?"

"Yes, Koga-kun. I remember you and how you kidnapped me the first time we met." She said while crossing her arms across her chest.

"Great, now we can go back to the den together!"

"Wait, just a minute wolfy." Inuyasha lunged at Koga, preparing to slice him.

"SIT BOY!"

Not again! Inuyasha plummeted into the ground."GAH! Kagome…Why…"

"That's what you get Mutt for not protecting her properly!"

"Thank you for the invitation Koga, but I'm staying with Inuyasha. He's saved me many times since I've lost my memory, including today. And if you don't bother us for a while, I may even let you go on a date with me."

"Wha- REALLY! Well, see ya mutt! I will come back for that date Kagome!" Koga turned away from the two and a huge whirlwind appeared around him as he left the area.

"Why are you being so nice to him!"

"Why can't I?! He did help save me today."

"I don't care what he did, he doesn't deserve anything but death!"

"SIT BOY!" Once again, Inuyasha created a hole in the ground. Quickly recovering from the recent 'attack' he picked up Kagome and they went down the mountain.

As they headed back towards Kaede's hut, Inuyasha gets depressed, as he is the only on Kagome doesn't truly remember. Where could my memory be hiding? I want Kagome to remember the time we spent together. I hope we can get it soon...
