You know I love all the little reviews you all give me ^^ Thank you! Oh and don't worry about Kagome, her condition is just going to be a fun point to work for me, and I wont be cruel, just evil! :-)

Kouga was in a good mood, wiht all of the carnage lately he had become a very happy youkai. He normally wasn't very interested in humans one way or another, but an occational massacre would always be so much fun. Though it seemed that he had been having a whole lot of fun lately. No matter, he was enjoying himself even more than usual.

Though he did regret that hunting howl, it probably alerted the humans, though it had been rather far away. It was just that when he caught the scent of that village he had been so excited. He scented the air and was surprised to note that there was a rather potent youkai scent at the village, he grinned, it was a dog. That was a bonus. With another howl he and his wolves attacked.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome waited and watched as the wolves charged into the tow, readying her bow. Sango and Oichi next to her tensed, readying themselves as well. Miroku and Inuyasha were at the shelter, Miroku trying to keep Inuyasha out of the battle at Kagome's request. The wolves all gave a mighty leap, clearing the wall in one bound. Landing in the center of the village they spread out, charging and destroying several houses, knocking over the torches that were used for lighting and setting fire to the town. Several of the wolves were cut down by the exterminators, but occationaly the wolves struck back.

Kagome had held the wolves in her sights, bow tensed and arrow locked, and when they leapt had shot, ripping one of those wolves part with her arrow. She didn't pause, keeping on the wall and aiming at another, letting go almost immediately. With a wistle and a twang the arrow was loosed, slamming into another wolf and killing it instantly. Her arrows were pure miko power, her miko capabilities aiming and purifying the youkai, while her own youkai was actually augmenting that power, raising it and giving an increadable control. Kagome pulled back once again, she couldn't shoot as fast as a miko, but she had something just as good, sending another arrow into a group of wolves and eradicating them all. Unfortunatly there were a signifigant amount of wolves, and several higher level youkai were coming.

Oichi and Sango had not been idle, Sango keeping a defense of Kagome with her boomerang, though the wolves were a bit fast to be caught easily with it, she had managed to not only keep them away but slice several of them apart. Oichi was misting their location, making it very hard to be spotted, also she was trying her best to protect the other people as well. With her assistance the exterminators were making rather decent progress with little casulties.

Then the higher level youkai appeared, and all hell broke loose. Several of the major youkai suddenly slammed through the walls, destroying the defensible perch and ripping apart those who thought it granted protection. Kagome and the others were on one of those walls. As ithe wall was shattered Kagome with her cat reflexes jumped off it, escaping harm. Oichi and Sango weren't that lucky, getting tossed to the ground with numerous scrapes from the impact.

As Kagome leapt she had spotted the enormous wolf, ready to rend Oichi and Sango limb from bloody limb. Kagome herself simply let herself fall, readying her youkai claws. She sliced the wolf in half with one hand, looking every inch the demonic warrior. She flicked the blood of her hand, then glancing toward the still stunned Oichi and Sango rushing towards them and ripping apart two youkai who were trying to take advantage of their incapacity. She then calmly strung her bow and fired at the next wave of youkai.

Sango and Oichi got up after a moment, Oichi shaking off her disability couldn't help but comment about Kagome. "Some of Inuyasha must have rubbed off." Sango nodded, sending her boomerang out once again.

Kagome listened with half an ear, one of them twitching as another wolf charged, missing them as they dodged. Sango drawing her blade had gotten on top of the wolf somehow and severed its spinal cord, bloodying her hands and body.

Oichi having been seperated slightly was suddenly surrounded by lower level youkai wolves. Grinning sadisticly she simply split as they charged, sending several copies of herself around, with almost blinding speed those copies distracted the wolves, allowing Oichi to toast them with her foxfire.

"Just because I am a kitsuine doesn't mean that I cannot kick some ass." Oichi grinned as she really began to let go, sending countless blades out, some illusion, some real. Several wolves died from her alone.

Sango was doing well, after the larger wolf had been dispatched she had been able to destroy most of the smaller wolves, ripping them apart with her boomerang. She looked around as the battle began to clear.

Kagome for her part had reached for another arrow, but found none, shrugging she dropped the bow and leapt forward. Tail twitching and eyes blazing she made short work of the remaining large youkai.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---

Kouga was beyond pissed now, what should have been a simply slaughter had become a heavy battle, one which he was painfully obviously losing. As he dodged around another of those pitifull humans, by now very mad that he was having sucha hard time with killing them he was forced to admit that he would have to order a retreat. With a trademark speed he was able to get around the human and slice its head off. He then lifted his head to give out the retreat howl.

Getting ready to leave himself he caught the most alluring scent. Looking around he spotted a cat hanyou ripping apart one of his liutenents. He grinned, watching the beautifull creature straighten up flexing her muscles. Maybe this wouldn't be a total loss after all, he needed a woman, and she looked perfect.

He gave anb order to his remaing wolves, getting her surrounded. Unperterbed she just ripped them apart, but that distracted her enough for Kouga to get close. Ducking under a claw slash another wolf knocked into her, forcing her into Kouga. Kouga then gave her a quick headbut, stunning her. He then stepped up and slammed the back of her head, knocking her out cold.

This was actually almost worth it.

Though he had wanted to face that dog, maybe taking his mate would be enough.
