:: Yeah I know the last chap was a little short and weird, but I had to put that like it is, I mean you find out about Kikia and Sessho, plus a little something, something between Kikia and Kouga. OH and they didn't do anything; just fell asleep in each others arms. And no I don't own Inuyasha and crew, just Kikia. JM::

5. Don't mess with the wolves.

"So what really happened last night Kouga?" Inuyasha asked, now very, very cruise to know. He sat down across from Kouga and looked at him with cruise eyes and thoughts.

"Like I said before, nothing happened between me and Kikia." Kouga snapped sitting down on his bed.

He was getting a little p-ed off with them asking him that.

"So does this mean you're finally over Kagome?" Inuyasha growled, he really wanted to know that too.

He wanted to know if Kouga still liked Kagome, for her own protection of course and Inuyasha's.

Kouga didn't answer, he never really thought about that. He hadn't seen, nor heard from Kagome in a few months, but then again.did he..or.didn't he?

"Well??"

"Huhdon'tknow."

"You don't know? What the hell do you mean you don't know?" Inuyasha growled jerking back in shock at Kouga's answer.

Kouga sat Indian style on the ground with his arms crossed and a blank thinking, type look on his face.

He hadn't thought about Kagome in a very long time and now he was traveling with her.

But there was a big problem, he was starting to fall for Kikia and didn't know what to do.

He was so confused by it, he didn't notice that Inuyasha and Miroku walked away.

'Well Kikia is available.' Kouga thought to himself. 'and she is a wolf demon, we could always start our own clan?' Kouga added, 'but she would never go with me, after what I heard, she's with Sesshoumaru, but then again that look she gave me last night is a different story.'

Kouga was in such a deep thought that he never heard Kikia sit down next to him, nor heard her yell at Miroku and Inuyasha.

"Kouga are you alright?" Kikia asked and seen him jerked back to life as she put a hand on his shoulder.

"Oh..yeah.. I'm fine." He choked; she scared the crap out of him.

He stared at the ground, not wanting to look into her eyes, just incase she could see into his soul and find out what he was hiding.

"What did they say to you?" Kikia asked, she wanted to know why he wasn't looking up at her. "Kouga are sure there is nothing wrong?"

"There isn't, ok, just drop it." Kouga snapped, he was getting a little tired of people asking him if he was alright.

Kikia stared at him, shocked at the fact that he had just yelled at her.

She wasn't use to that type of tone from people she knows and started to likes more then a friend.

"Fine then, be that way." Kikia snapped, she stood up and walked over to the others. "So we ready?" She asked as she stopped next to Kagome.

"Just about." Miroku answered, he heard her and Kuga yelling at each other and didn't want to get Kikia any more upset then she all ready was.

"So were are we going?" Kikia asked.

"Inuyasha thought he scented a demon a little way from here, so we're going to see what it was." Sango answered, as she stopped next to Kirara and petted her on the back. "Kikia how are you felling? Are you able to walk today?"

"I'll be fine Sango, I'll walk for a little bit, but I don't think for long, my wound hasn't fully heeled." Kikia answered.

The crew started to the southeast to where Inuyasha scented the demon from the night before.

Kouga and Kikia were walking far behind the others, not talking, just walking together and not looking at each other.

Miroku could scents the tension between the two wolves and it was starting to scare him.

"Sango, is it just me or do you feel the tension between Kikia and Kouga?" Miroku whispered so they wouldn't hear him.

"Yes I do, it's not right. They have know idea that, that kind of tension could and will bring demons to us." Sango answered.

"I feared as much, but do you think they want that to happen?"

"Not sure yet, but I believe Inuyasha can scent it too." Sango replied as she pointed in front of them to Inuyasha.

He was walking behind Kagome so Kouga wouldn't try anything.

"Inuyasha, do you feel that?" Kagome asked.

"Yep, it's our wolf pack, there is a hell of a lot tension in between them." Inuyasha answered, he really didn't care about it.

"What do you think they fought about?" Kagome questioned.

"Don't know and really don't care." Inuyasha remarked.

Kagome stopped and whirled around to face Inuyasha.

"YOU COULD AT LEAST CARE A LITTLE, IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF DEMONS AROUND HERE, JUST WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT TO ATTACK. AND ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOURSELF?!?!?! Kagome snapped at the top of her voice, making Inuyasha fall over to the ground in horror.

"I guess Lady Kagome felt it also." Miroku added as he watched Kagome stomp off down the path.

"What happened?" Kikia asked Sango as he stepped next to her and seen Inuyasha on the ground in fear of Kagome.

"Inuyasha said the wrong thing again and got yelled at by Kagome." She answered.

"Oh, damn I thought I was scary." Kikia added, she walked past Sango and in behind Inuyasha. "You know, you deserved that." She remarked looking down at him.

Inuyasha shot his head up to her and just glared at her.

"What the hell do you mean by that?" Inuyasha growled.

"Well you should know better by now then to get Kagome mad at you." Kikia answered.

"What? What do you know?" Inuyasha snapped.

"More then you think." Kikia replied, "oh and one more thing, I would stop her if I were you."

"Why."

"Well because she's headed back to the well, just look at the direction she's going." Kikia added as she pointed to Kagome, who was heading in a northwest direction.

"Oh shit." Inuyasha growled as he stood up and ran after Kagome.

"What was that all about?" Koga asked, finally talking to her.

Kikia didn't answer, she was still mad at him for yelling at her.

Miroku walked over to Kikia and said something that he shouldn't have, because he got pouched in the gut and kicked in the middle.

Kikia walked away, leaving Miroku on the ground in pain.

"I warned you Miroku that if you tried anything, you would have more then your wind tunnel to worry about." Kikia replied and walked into the forest, disappearing from view.

Koga took a couple of steps away from Miroku and just started cracking up.

"What is so funny?" Miroku gasped, trying to not pass out.

"She's right you know."

"Right about what?"

Koga bent down to the ground as Miroku finally sat down. Koga looked straight into his eyes and replied.

"When she said that you would have more to worry about then your wind tunnel."

".. Where are you getting at Kouga?.."

"What I mean to say is.." Kouga stood up walked back over to Miroku again and bent down to his level. "Try anything like that again and I promise you, it wont be the wind tunnel of yours that kills ya." Kouga threatened.

Miroku jerked back in fear as Kouga stood up and started in Kikia's direction.

"Oh that isn't very good Miroku." Shippo replied, popping out from Miroku's and hopped in his lap. "What are you going to do?"

"I don't know, I really don't know."
