Sesshy- OOOOKKKK….

Soft footsteps echoed throughout the hallowed hall. An evil grin was tugging at the side of Sango's usually sealed lips. She held the steaming cup of poioned tea in her hand as she made her way to Kagome's room. (Poor poor Kagome. Feeling so tired and helpless. I'm sure just one drink of tea, and she will feel so much better.) Finally, Sango came upon the room where Inuyasha was sleeping. Muttering a few words, and waving her free hand over the entry way, the barrier around the room which had kept Inuyasha safe inside, and had kept the evil sorceress Jenahara out, was down. Hiding her triumphant Sango stepped into the room.

"Kagome?" she questioned softly. The young teenager was sitting near Inuyasha. She was curled up and was using her arms for a pillow as she slept quietly. "Kagome," she said a bit more loudly. Groaning slightly, Kagome sat up a bit. She looked at the sleeping hayou, then her gaze drifted to the voice that had awoken her.

"Sango," she said as a smile graced her face. "I didn't hear you come in. Oh, you brought my tea. Thank you."

Nodding, the demon slayer gave Kagome the cup. "You were sleeping," she told her.

Kagome seemed to stop in mid-air as she lifted her tea cup to get a drink. Sleeping? "Oh," she said quietly. (I can't belive I fell asleep. I was supposed to be watching Inuyasha.) Sango noticed the girl's somber attitude and sat down next to her. She placed what was meant to be a comforting hand on her shoulder. "You can't watch over him forever, you know," she whispered.

"What?" Kagome asked startled.

Sango gave a soft smile to her friend and brushed a few strands of hair from the teenager's face. It would have been comforting, if Sango hadn't been acting so…creepy. Kagome could not tell what it was. But there was…something, something had changed. She simply shook the thought from her mind. This was Sango. She was one of her best friends. How could she be having such silly thoughts about Sango? "You must be so tired. You've been looking over him since…the fight," Sango said. "You should drink your tea, and rest. And you should visit your family. Miroku and I can watch over Inuyasha."

"I've been away from home longer then this before," Kagome said and shrugged away Sango's hand. "Besides, I won't leave him. Not like this. I mean what if…what if he wakes up…and I'm not here? I can't make him go through that."

"Your not the only who cares about him."

Realizing the way she must have sounded, the teenager turned to her friend. "I didn't mean it to sound like that Sango. You know I didn't. I just meant, well, you know what I meant. I don't want him to feel like I've abandoned him. Especially now."

"Yes, I know. I'm sorry," she apologized. "I guess we're all just a bit on edge since the Tiger demon tribe."

Kagome nodded. "Have you and Miroku found out anything more about them?"

"No. Not many of the people in this village even knew that there *was* a Tiger demon tribe living in their mountains. Especially not one which was weilding the power of jewel shards. We're still pretty much no where on what that thing was or how to wake Inuyasha up. I'm so sorry."

"It's all right," Kagome said. "I'm sure we'll find out something soon. The best thing to do is just keep hope that Inuyasha will be all right, and keep looking."

"And trying to get some rest," Sango added. Smiling a bit unsurely, Kagome again reached for the cup of tea. (I'm sure it's just my imagination, but there's something different about Sango. I guess it's in her eyes. She must be just as tired as I am.) And just as soon as Kagome was about to sip the poisioned drink, Inuyasha screamed.

Sango watched as the cup shattered into pieces on the ground. Kagome cursed softly as hot tea was spilled all over her school uniform. (Damn that stupid mut! She would have drunken it.) The young girl began picking up pieces of the broken cup, when once again Inuyahsa shrieked. She cursed as the tip of her finger was cut on one of the pieces. The unshed tears Kagome had been trying to hold in began pouring onto her cheek.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha screamed as he thrashed violently. "Kagome!" The hanyou knew that she was in pain. He could smell the scent of her blood and tears mixing together as he ran towards her. She was huddled against a tear. Her face was buried into her hands. As he neared closer to the girl, he could see deep claw marks in her shoulder. He growled. (Who did this to her?) He called her name again as he kneeled in front of her. She did nothing. She only stayed sitting with her arms wrapped around her knees, sobs wracking her small body. He reached out tenderly to touch her shoulder.

"Who did this to you?" Both the hanyou and the young girl looked up as Koga came towards them. Inuyasha jumped up and instinctively cracked his knuckles.

"Get the hell out of here wolf," he growled protectively as he stepped in front of Kagome.

"Guess," Kagome sniffeled. She gazed at the demon, her eyes tender yet hurt. Inuyasha growled again. She wasn't looking at him. She was watching Koga. To the demons anger and surprise, Koga walked past him and wrapped his arms around Kagome. Her small fists gripped the furs on his shoulder as she sobbed into his chest.

"I will kill him for this," Koga whispered to the young girl. She tried to shake her head and looked up at the wolf youkai. "You can't!" she nearly yelled. "You heard what he did…to his father. He turned his sword against his own father Koga. How can you fight him? As long as he has the Tetsiga, he's unstoppable."

(What? It sounds like she's talking about me.) His eyes widened. (She thinks I killed my father!

*That still doesn't explain something.*

I also think she belives I hurt her.

*Not that baka!*

What?

*What in the seven hells is she doing with Koga?!*)

The youkai held Kagome closer to his chest. "I vowed never to let that damned mut hurt you, Kagome. And I do not care how long it takes, Inuyasha will die for hurting what is mine."

(What's his?) "Get away from her!" Inuyasha yelled. He froze midstep as he saw Kagome, _his_ Kagome, brush a loving kiss on Koga's lips. The hanyou couldn't even turn around as he watched the two continue to embrace. He finally turned at ran at top speed into the forest. (I can't believe it. Not only does Kagome think that I killed my father, and hurt her, but she's with Koga too. I have to find whoever is behind this.)

Wowie. This was a pretty short chapter. And not a lot happened. Sorry to those of you who are still reading, but I have like really bad writers block. Reviews would help. So, please be nice and review and maybe I'll get some more posted by the end of this week. But I can't make any promises.
