I Don't own Inuyasha or any other thing I reference that I don't own ;)

...

It had been two days sense her brother had drove her home. Lily couldn't really say she was happy to be home. Yea she missed it. She felt more comfortable here than any were else. She just wished it had been a better reason she had to return. She still remembered having to tell poor little Penny.

She walked into her father and Kagome's room were all the children were playing. Lily took a deep steadying breath to calm her nerves. She knew this was not going to be easy and it broke her heart to leave her pup here, but she couldn't just take her. Stealing a pup from a pack could cause a lot of blood shed even if the pup was orphaned.

"Penny can you come here please. I need to talk to you for a second."

Penny looked a Lily with concern. She had never heard her new mother talk like this before and she looked like she had only recently stopped crying.

Lily took Penny into the kitchen to be alone before sitting on the floor and pulling her pup onto her lap, hugging her close.

"I love you Penny, you know that right?" Lily asked softly new tears appearing in her eyes.

"Of course Mama. What s wrong? What s going on?"

"Well Kouga and I have had..." 'What do you call being yelled at with no reasoning?' "..A disagreement. I suppose...he told me to leave. I m so sorry."

Penny said nothing as she hugged her new mother close as the tears came out. She was young but she understood pack order. If Kouga told Lily to leave there was nothing that could be done.

"I wish I could come with you mama *sniff*."

"I do too pup. I do too."

Kagome had agreed to watch over Penny till they came back to make sure she was being treated right even with Lily not there.

Lily had managed to stop the flow of tears after her first day back. It still hurt a lot, she still had no idea what she had done wrong, but she wasn't going to let this stop her from moving forward. She had managed to keep going before Kouga and she would after.

Though it didn't stop her hand from moving across the paper in front of her sketching out a strong wolf standing in a dense forest.

Kouga had been going out of his way to ignore every one the past two days. He had been grouchy and his beast had been at the front of his mind the whole time.

'You are an idiot! Go comfort our mate now! She needs us! You heard that guy he said he would come back for her!" His beast roared trying to take over.

'Shut up. I will not go to her and I will not apologize. She almost got herself and my men killed. She should come to me! Besides she is safe here in the caves.'

'You are an idiot.'

Kouga did his best to ignore his beast. He also did his best to ignore the glares he was receiving from his whole pack. He didn't think he had done anything wrong so why were they glaring.

He stopped as Ginta and Hakkaku jumped out in front of him. He glared at them. "I'm not in the mood to talk."

Hakkaku stepped forward his face stern surprising Kouga slightly. "Well we HAVE to talk Kouga. This can't be pushed off any longer! You can't ignore the whole pack because you refuse to admit you over reacted!"

"I Don't Have To Listen To This!" Kouga said pushing past them.

"Well I guess it has to be this way then." Said another voice. Then everything went black.

Shape

He awoke later tied to a chair in a dark room. His mouth gagged. He tried to get loose to no success. Then the door in front of him opened an in walked five figures. One holding a whip menacingly. One figure walked over to a light and for a moment he was blinded. After his eyes adjusted he was shocked to see... ...

.

He was shocked to see Ginta, Hakkaku, Touga, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha. Inuyasha was the one holding the whip. They all looked sternly at him before Touga looked curiously over at his youngest son.

"Why are you holding a whip?"

"I thought it would set the mood." He answered with a big grin and a shrug.

The others just sighed or rolled their eyes before looking back at Kouga.

Touga approached first. "We are tired of your stubborn attitude. You are the pack leader and need to act as such. A leader must be able to admit when he is wrong."

Kouga looked as if he wanted to yell that he wasn't wrong but couldn't threw the gag. Touga pushed Ginta and Hakkaku forward.

Ginta spoke first. "We know you think that Lily put us in danger Kouga, but.. that's not what happened." Kouga's eyes widened slightly.

"She saved our lives Kouga." Hakkaku said firmly.

After that they spilled the whole story. About being called away from the cave and being jumped on the way back. Touga throwing in that it seemed like it been planned out that no one be here to protect the pack but the person hadn't known Lily had been at the caves. Ginta and Hakkaku spoke of how the only reason that Lily had been captured was because she held no weapon and had thrown herself in front of them to save them at the last second. And they even spoke of how she had tricked the male into leaving the area.

After the explaining Kouga was oddly silent but it honestly could be his mouth was still gagged.

'Told you that you were an idiot.' His beast stated quietly.

He realized it all made sense now. The hurt confused look on Lily's face. The glares he was receiving from his whole pack. The angry looks from Kagome and the inus. The cold shoulder from his pup Penny. They removed the gag from him mouth waiting for an answer. He was silent for a long while before he spoke.

"I need to see her. I have to apologize to her. I have been such an idiot. I shouldn't have let my emotions cloud my judgment. Is she still in your room Sesshomaru?" Kouga said looking up at Sesshomaru with a determination to fix all this blazing in his blue eyes.

They all looked at each other for a moment before Touga stepped forward. "She left Kouga. She left that night. You are too late." He said putting a comforting hand on Kouga's shoulder before cutting through the ropes binding him. Then they all left the room to leave Kouga to his thoughts.

'No. What have I done? She left? She has been gone for two days. How could I not have noticed?'

'Because you were trying to ignore me idiot. I tried to tell you.' his beast answered him sadly.

'Leave me alone. You don't have to rub it in.'

'I would but I think we have a bigger problem.'

Kouga's head jerked up slightly. 'What problem?'

'Don't you remember what that man said? He said he would come back for her.'

'She's Not Here!' With that Kouga went flying out of the room toward the others. 'We have to save her!'
