Chapter 4  The Wolf

Ugh. Kouga lifted his head form the muddy floor of the well. His face was covered with cakes of mud, and his clothes were dirty. Wincing as he struggled to get up, Kouga carefully climbed up the well. But instead of the cold basement, he found the smell of the woods, saw lush green grass, and trees covered either side of the grass.

"W-what?!"

Where am I?"

Kouga felt hysterical.

He looked around fearfully. What did he do to deserve this? He had just wanted to visit Kagome!

Trying not to break out in tears, Kouga began pacing frantically. His first thought was, I should go get some food.

But his mother had always said not to move when you were lost. Still, if he didn't move, he would starve!!!!!!!!! Better to move than to go hungry, he mumbled to himself. Breathing heavily, Kouga stomped off, leaving the ancient well behind.

            After walking for a few minutes, Kouga heard a distinctive growling behind the bushes. He turned around quickly, and his heart started to beat hard. Two yellow eyes bored into him through the bush's leaves and gnarled branches. In one instant, Kouga knew what it was.

It was a wolf.
