I'm writing this Saturday, but the internet seems determined to punnish me for being on the computer so much and won't work. So, I have no idea when this will be up. Of course, if your reading it, none of this will matter so I guess I should stop. Anywayz...

Chapter 5
"Shippo!" Sango on Kirara finally managed to grab Shippo from the bat demon. They had chased it for miles. It unnerved Sango a bit. She had never seen a bat demon so very fast. Usually they were prone to jagged, uneven flight, but this one has flown in a straight line as though in a race. They hadn't managed to fight it the whole time. Trying to keep up with it was enough work as it was. Oddly though, it never tried to attack any of them.
"Shippo, why didn't you use any of you tricks or anything?" she asked as they landed on the forest floor. Shippo looked up at her, his eyes still wide.
"Sango, Miroku, that wasn't a bat demon!"
"What are you talking about Shippo?" Miroku questioned from behind sango on Kirara. "What was it then?"
"How should I know?" the kitsune yelled. "All I know is, it wasn't solid!"
"What??!" Shouted Sango and Miroku together. "B-but we saw it carry you..."
"Jeez, aren't you two listening! It wasn't solid. I felt something pick me up, but when I tried to hit it, my hand went right through it."
"Then how-?"
"That was my doing." A voice from the side spoke up. Kikyo stepped forward and was greeted with a group glare. "I needed to lure you away from Inuyasha."
'I thought the demon was just trying to slow us down.' Miroku mentally kicked himself. Aloud, he said, "You know Kikyo, Inuyasha seemed willing enough to meet you alone all those other times. Why bother using trickery now?"
Kikyo smiled a smugly and Sango had to try with all her might from trying to rip that annoying face off bare-handed. (A/N: Go Sango!) "Well," said Kikyo slowly, "he seems to have developed an unfortunate affection for my copy, and I could not be sure he would give her up willingly."
'Give her up...?' Sango grimaced. 'Give her up to Kikyo? But Kikyo wants to kill Kagome!'
"If you've touched on hair on Kagome's head..." Sango growled, sounding more like Inuyasha than she would ever admit.
"I would be concerned about your own fates if I were you." Kikyo answered. "You perhaps remember the spell I put on the arrow to keep Inuyasha bound forever to the god-tree? Well I have been working on a slight variation." Kikyo raised her hands. Red light shot out and before anyone could so much as blink, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo sunk to the ground, their eyes open, but devoid of all traces of emotions.
Kikyo stood over them, a rather relieved expression on her face. She made a motion with her hands, like a conductor signaling the choir to stand. Cool green moss sprung up from the ground and covered the sleeping trio.
"May your rest be more peaceful than mine." She said softly. (A/N: Wow, she almost sounded nice there for a minute. Too bad she acted evil just before.)

Kagome's eye lids fluttered open as her brain tried to register what had happened. She was going towards the well... no wait! Coming back from the well...when she'd.... ummmm....Kouga! That was it! Kouga had grabbed her. So where was she now?
Her eyes came into focus and she examined her surroundings. She was in a small, well-lit cave, lying on soft blanket with a lighter one covering her. Over then entrance was a wooden beam from which hung what looked dark blue curtains. Small stalactites hung from the ceiling. To Kagome it looked like the rock roof was melting. The thought was enough to make her let out a small, nervous giggle.
She heard a soft sound behind her. She turned and let out a soft, "Oh!" of surprise. In the corner was a young girl who looked to be a bit younger than kagome. She had thick black hair that was wild and out of place, though it didn't quite hide a pair of pointed ears. Her knees were pulled up against her body, so it was hard to see her outfit, but from what Kagome could gleam, it looked an awful lot like Kouga's. Her eyes were shut and the hair that hung down in front of her face fluttered in time with her steady breathing. Kagome studied her face.
'Her features match Kouga, except slightly less hardened. Who is she?'
As though she'd said it aloud, Kagome's thoughts seemed to wake the girl. "Hello," Kagome ventured cautiously. "What's your name? And umm, and you tell me where I am?"
The young wolf demon rose to her feet, and bowed low. "You're in the home of the Wolf Demon Clan." The girl said softly. 'Wow, she sounds even younger than she looks,' Kagome thought to herself.
"My name is Omega." She continued. "I have been assigned to watch over you until Kouga returns."
'Watch over me to keep me safe, or to keep me from escaping?' Kagome wondered nervously. She waited to see what would happen next.

Finally, I get to put my new character in! Yea! For those of you who may not know why in the world I chose 'Omega' for a name, I got the idea when thinking about wolf packs. (I love to read about wolves. They're my favorite animals!) In a wolf pack, there is the Alpha male who is the leader, the Alpha female, who is his mate and generally the only one to bear pups, the beta male and female, which are just below in ranking, and in most every pack there is also an omega. The omega is the wolf that all to other wolves take their aggression/frustration out on. It tends to be the most timid one, who's the least aggressive. They eat last and generally stay away from the rest of the pack, but they don't leave because trust me, it's better to be an Omega than to be a lone wolf, especially in another pack's territory. (if I got anything wrong about the pack structure, PLEASE TELL ME! Thank you) And don't forget to press that little button that says review!
