Haley

There was no way Haley was going to let neither Kagome nor Allie have Koga. Haley just liked Koga too much to let that happen.

I'll do whatever it takes to get Koga. I will show him that I am the one he should like! Haley thought.

"Hey, Haley. Why aren't you eating?" Koga asked her, yanking her from her thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, no reason," Haley muttered as she stared down at her food with a determined look on her face.

"Really? It doesn't look like there is no reason," he said as he looked at her. She didn't respond.

"I wonder how Ashley is doing?" Allie said, ending the awkward silence.

"I'm sure she is doing fine. If she is anything like either of you, she is going to fight that nasty miasma until either it gives up and gets out of her system, or she dies trying to fight it," Koga said as he looked into the fire.

Haley felt a silent tear start to fall down her cheek.

"Haley?" Koga asked. Haley accidentally let out a small cry when she took a breath.

She would absolutely kill Naraku if Ashley died from his miasma. Ashley was like a sister to her, an older sister that she always wanted. Ashley always looked out for her and always was at Haley's side when things went bad, unlike a lot of Haley's other former friends.

"Haley, is something wrong?" Koga asked as he tilted her head up with a finger. Haley could see his light blue eyes looking straight into her hazel eyes.

"N-no. I'm fine," she lied.

"You're a liar," he muttered after a moment of looking at her.

"No I'm not!" Haley said.

"Yes you are. I can tell you are sad," he whispered.

"How?"

"Tears are spilling from your eyes, and your voice is shaky. Haley, did I say something that upset you?" Koga asked her. Haley couldn't answer that. She didn't want him to feel bad about mentioning her best friend possibly dying. So instead, she told him a half-truth.

"Don't worry about it, Koga."

He narrowed his eyes.

"Now I am determined to see what it is that's bothering you," he muttered more to himself than Haley.

"Koga, you don't need to," Haley was cut off when Allie stood up.

"Allie? Is everything okay?" Koga asked her as he stood up. She looked at him over her shoulder for a second. She looked slightly sad.

"Yeah, I just need to take a walk," she muttered when she looked forward again.

"Did I say something that made you two upset?" he asked as he looked between Haley and Allie.

"It's just, the thought of Ashley dying so easily makes me feel uneasy," Allie muttered.

"Well, Naraku's miasma can kill even the strongest person. Even though I've only met her a few times, from what you two have told about her makes me think that she has already died peacefully in her mate's arms," Koga whispered as he slowly sat down on a rock, looking into the fire.

"No," Allie whispered.

"Huh?" Koga asked, looking at her.

"There is no way that Ashley would die from something like that," Allie said as she continued to look forward into the dark woods that surrounded them.

"Are you sure?" Koga asked. He seemed like he was unsure that Ashley was that strong.

"Yes. She is too strong willed to die that easily," she said. Then she walked away from the camp.

"Where are you going?" he yelled.

"I need to go clear my head," she said. With that, she was gone from their site for the night.

"She's right, you know," Haley whispered as she stared into the fire.

"About Ashley?" he asked. Haley nodded.

"Ashley has always been the type to not go down without a fight. When she sets her mind on something, like surviving, then nothing in this world can stop her. She will always find a way," Haley said.

"I see," he muttered.

"Well, why don't we see for ourselves?" he said.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"How about we go see how Ashley is doing when Allie gets back? You two haven't really had the time to really talk to her since you three split up a while ago," Koga suggested.

"You really mean that?" Haley asked when she looked into his light blue eyes. When he looked back, it felt like he was staring into her soul.

"Of coarse. I would do anything to make you happy, Haley," he whispered. Haley felt her cheeks start to flare up. He chuckled and just continued to stare at her. After a few moments Haley had to look away.

"So, um. What about your search for Naraku?" she asked.

"What about it?" he asked. Haley could see he was still looking at her from the corner of her eye.

"Isn't it going to be delayed if we go to find Ashley? You may be very close to his scent right now. If we leave in the opposite direction, then we may never find that scent again," Haley said as she stared into the fire, feeling a little guilty for delaying Koga's goal.

"That's fine. Family and friends are more important than revenge. It's not like he's going to collect all of the jewel shards while we are going to see your friend," Koga said.

"Oh, okay then," Haley muttered.

"Yeah, Naraku can wait," Koga said.

"Naraku can wait for what?" Allie asked. Haley looked up from the fire to see Allie standing in-between two trees.

"Come over here, Allie. Haley and I were just discussing a vacation that you might enjoy," Koga said as he waved Allie over to them.

Koga told Allie about the three of them going to see Ashley.

"Are you serious?" Allie asked.

"Serious as I can be," Koga smiled. Haley felt a little heart pain. Koga was smiling at Allie just like he did with Haley. What was going on? Did he like both of them?

"Awesome! Let's go!" Allie said as she jumped up from her seat and began to walk into the forest.

"Hold it! We don't have to go right this minute. Why don't we wait until morning? That way we can see where we are going," Koga suggested.

"Oh, yeah. I guess I forgot that it was night," Allie laughed nervously as she rubbed the back of her neck.

"Well, I'm really tired. So let's get some sleep," Koga said as he sat back against a tree trunk and closed his eyes. "Night girls."

"Night," Allie and Haley said as they followed his movements and sat back against their own tree trunks.
