Konnichiwa minna-san! Here's the third chapter to my story. After I get it off to a good start I won't be updating as often. I'm thinking about writing a YYH fic as well, but you never know. Just so everyone knows…

Disclaimer: I do not own IY or its characters. Never will. Ever…

Thank you to Lum-chan, Kouga's Angel, InuCrazedChick, and Nikki and Joseph for the support; thanks to DeniseD for the idea. I'll try to make the chapters longer if I can.

I know I started this off as an Inu/Kagome fic, but trust me. I'm making it Koug/Kag. Sorry to this Inu fans, but I like Koga much more. R & R! Thanx!

The sky had started to darken and, with the added rain, it made it very hard for her to make her way through the dense trees of the forest. Her body held many scratches from the thick trees and brush, but she refused to stop. She knew that it was her fault that Koga was upset. She couldn't bear the thought of Koga angry with her. It has been quite some time since Koga had kidnapped her and, since then, they had become great friends. She paused as she noticed a dim trace of his aura in the direction she was headed. She decided to speed up.

As she ran, light tears started to go down her face. She cried for Koga. She hated to see him in pain.

Koga was tearing up trees in his part of the forest, next to his boulder. (He needed to clear his head and calm down, but…let's face it. Koga isn't the most reasonable person, now is he?) He slashed tree after tree, until he had created an entire clearing in their place. Millions of thoughts were flooding his mind, mostly of Kagome.

When he finally calmed down, he went back to his boulder for a good long howl. He continued to cry and yell his heart out until he heard a twig snap from behind. He leapt into a fighting stance and whirled around to see his attacker. When he saw who it was his eyes went wide and he stopped dead in his tracks. He hadn't expected to see her so soon, the cause of his pain and happiness together. He couldn't believe his eyes. She had followed him? What about Inu-koro…and the kiss?

"K-Kagome?"

Kagome finally reached the place where she thought she felt Koga's aura the most. She was covered with mud and leaves from falling a few too many times. Her tears have mixed with the rain so much that they were undistinguishable. She had twigs in her hair, and many cuts and bruises from the trees and branches. She stumbled into the newly made clearing, barely able to support herself. She could vaguely see a figure ahead of her sitting on a boulder next to one of the last few standing trees for about 20 yards. She knew it was him. It was Koga. She watched as he turned to look at her, and swore she heard him call her name. She couldn't see his expression due to the rain and the fact that she was slipping in and out of consciousness. She tried to speak, but could only mutter a few words before losing consciousness completely, knowing he hadn't heard her.

"K-Koga…I…I'm…Sorry…"

Koga managed to catch her before she fell to the ground. He slowly picked her up bridal style, minding her many gashes and scrapes. He noticed she was shivering and knew that it was possible for her to catch pneumonia. He set off to his wolf den with her unconscious form in his arms.

Hey, after this I won't be adding a new chapter everyday. I haven't had anything to do lately so I had plenty of time to write during the day. But now that's going to change… I'll be starting another Koug/Kag fic as well. It seems that's all I can write about! Lol. Once again, any suggestions would be nice. I'm slowly making the chapters longer, so sorry if they're too short for now! Thanx! R&R!
