When Sesshomaru leapt off with Kagome, Shippo tried to run after them, but Miroku grabbed the crying kitsune by the tail.
"No, Shippo. You'll never catch up, also, Kouga is still there, and he is still dangerous. We must be wary."
Meanwhile, the wolf-youkai they were talking about was getting up on his bruised and bleeding legs.
"Kagome...so, the brother of the dog-turd has you? Well, I will rescue you. And I will make that miserable dog pay!"
With that, Kouga fainted from loss of blood and collapsed on the road.
Carefully walking up to the wolf-youkai with her boomerang out and ready, Sango examined Kouga, then called back to Miroku and Shippo,
"We should help him. He'll bleed to death if we leave him here."
Miroku stumbled over, still leaning heavily on his staff. Shippo was lightly sniffling on his shoulder.
"Yes, Lady Kagome would want us to help him, although he does not deserve it for trying to kidnap her yet again."
Sango nodded in agreement and between the two of them, they managed to get Kouga back to the cave as the stars began to come out.
Getting the roll of bandages out again, they began to work on wrapping up the sluggishly bleeding wounds on Kouga's legs.
Sesshomaru's whip was sharp.
Wincing at the deepness of the cuts, Shippo turned and looked away from Kouga. Instead, he went to sit near the mouth of the cave and wondered,
'Where are you, Inuyasha? Kagome needed you...'
Suddenly, as if the kitsune's wish had been granted, Inuyasha came bounding from the trees. He was changed already with the black hair and violet eyes, but his temper remained the same. In a second, he was in the cave roaring,
"What is that wimpy WOLF doing here?!"
Miroku got up and walked over to Inuyasha.
"Be quiet, we are treating his wounds."
His voice was quiet and commanding.
"You're telling me what to do now, monk? And where is Kagome, didn't that idiot girl come back yet?"
Inuyasha sat down by the fire, his arms crossed into the sleeves of his haori. He closed his eyes to hide the mild concern that was surfacing.
He tried to ignore them but it didn't work very well.
When Inuyasha had returned and behaved so immaturely, Sango began quietly fuming from where she still sat near the unconscious Kouga, but when Inuyasha had mentioned Kagome...the demon huntress blew up.
"Where do you think she is?! First we found her unconscious in the rain outside the cave after she had left from a fight with you! She was lying on the ground with an injured arm and a broken ankle, Inuyasha! Then Kouga shows up and beats up Miroku and Kirara and takes her! But he didn't get far because that cold-blooded brother of yours almost killed Kouga, then kidnapped Kagome! Well, now she's with him! So where were you all this time?! Where were you when...when Kagome..."
Sango stopped yelling and the whole cave was silent except for her quiet weeping. The whole day was just too much for even her. All these things happening...and now...
Throughout her whole rant, Inuyasha was speechless with shock, but now he had plenty to say; and he said it all loud and angrily.
Halfway through Inuyasha's yells of profanity, Shippo had decided that he couldn't take any more of the colorful language and, with his little hands over his ears, he ran outside to find somewhere to hide, since Kagome wasn't there to make him feel better.
But before he could get far, he bumped into something that felt like a leg.
Looking up, he saw a face that looked expressionlessly down at him and gasped realizing it was...Sesshomaru?
