@Ok, I'm real sorry to those who were waiting for continuances, I kinda got distracted, then forgot my password, as I seem to accumulate them, so anyway, this may go differently than planned due to time lapse, but I hope you enjoy!@

Kouga lead Kagome toward the communal eating cave @wolves are pack creatures, they do almost everything communally@ where he said had a feast set before them, for a victory in battle a few days before, and now for her arrival.

"So you've finally seen that dog hanyou doesn't care about you as I do, well, that's good, now we can begin to toast to a long life and many children!"  Kagome groaned inwardly before Kouga even finished, he could be nice and arrogant.  Still, he was nice…

"I hope you enjoy my time here, for I do not think I can stay very long."

"Is that dog hanyou still pestering you?  Give me the Shikon shards and I will defeat him!"  Again, Kagome began to resent the now inherent downsides in her plan.

"I don't have them, I've left them in my world lately, I'm sorry."  Kagome feigned a regret that was nonexistent, and hoped Inuyasha would come soon so she could complete her plan.  She found a few more obstacles to progress than she expected…

"Kagome, as my lady you will be the first to dine."  Were the words that began the next set-back.  Flattered, Kagome had accepted without further questioning.  She continued planning her special moment, when Inuyasha would fell the burning sensation in his chest as he saw the culmination of the plan…

Then of course, she saw the food.  Raw meat, every where, casually strewn across banquet tables, most, but not all of it skinned, every piece (if possible) redder than the blood spilling off the table.  Immediately she found herself the center of attention, all eyes fixed in preparation for a feast.  Hungry, Vacant stares bored holes in her as she asked to speak to Kouga in private.

Inuyasha had finally battled his way through what seemed like hordes of wolves, only to enter the labyrinth of their lair.  He could no longer follow Kagome's scent, merely sound, which lead him through odd rooms and strange light letting areas.  Finally the communal eating chamber was found… and in it Kagome was by Kouga's side.

"Kagome!"  He called, but a sudden roar drowned him out as Kagome and Kouga exited.  And the very unhappy group of wolves turned to leave… discovering him.

Several of these wolves were high rank, so he paused to assess the situation… and was hit from behind by something small, followed by something large.  A small voice cam to his ears, Shippou.

"Inuyashaaaaaaa!!!  You said you would return with Kagome immediately, and then you stomp off here and leave me following you and being chased and…"  The little fox demon was cut off as he was thrown by a wolf-youkai to another wolf-youkai.

"He's a toy!"  One of them called out. "Let's play with him while the hanyou is defeated by our leader!"  Another called, obviously impressed with himself for coming up with such a solution.  The wolves, more interested in entertainment than in fighting, continued to toss poor Shippou back and forth as he called for Inuyasha to "stop them at once or I'll tell Kagome!"  along with various other threats and entreaties.  Inuyasha slipped through the path left for him and entered Kouga's "Office"  which served as a jail more than anything else, as evident by the iron door.

He entered to find Kagome, looking all too close to Kouga, and Kouga, looking all too much like he'd do anything she said.

@ Ok, that's all for now… I think… I may write another chapter now if I get the right feel from my ideas… And for all those Inu-Kago fans, too bad for you, you'll have to read the story to know the end… Though technically I'm not real sure either! @
