Chapter 15 Lost, but never found

Kagome's head bobbed up and down as the person ran through the forest. She opened her eyes, and saw a man with long black hair; put up into a high pony tail, a brown band across his forehead, which went around his head, elfish ears and misty blue eyes. His face was facing straight ahead, as he ran gracefully. He had brown fur on his shoulders and armor across his chest. He had a sword to his side.

"K...Kouga?" She whispered as she lifted her hand to gently lie on his cheek. Kouga flinched and stopped quickly.

He looked down at her as if she had spoken a foreign language. She smiled as tears formed in her eyes. She sat up in his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Oh, Kouga, I thought I had lost you, after...after..." She trailed off, as the image of Sesshomaru killing him, trailed through her mind.

She laid her head in her hand, against his chest and started to cry loudly. "After Sesshomaru killed you." She spoke in a quivering voice.

"I missed you so much Kouga." She said as she dried the tears in her eyes.

Kouga looked at her as if he had never met her before. He hugged her back, but didn't know why, he felt as he needed to, no he wanted to.

Kagome fell into a deep slumber as her body fell limp. Kouga picked her up and cradled her to his chest. A rain started too trickled down from the sky, placing little miniature water puddles on Kagome's face.

He started into his fast running pace again, as he headed toward a huge shrine, which only darkness was consumed by. Kouga entered the gate, as glowing blood red eyes, seeped through the dark shadows. Kouga could pick up the snarling of the demons teeth. He came to a house in the center of the town, a dark cloud lingered above and dark long strikes of evil blackness consumed the building.

He slid the door ever so gracefully open and closed it with his foot. He walked into a room lit with only one candle, which gracefully flushed an elegant blue. A small and humble figure lay sitting on the comfort of a black pillow. Her eyes focused on the ground, but as Kouga's figure entered the room, her eyes lifted from the ground and onto his slowing walking figure.

"Did you bring her?" A soft gentle voice said, but at the same time the wickedness was apparent in her voice.

"Yes, I did." He replied as he laid Kagome down elegantly on the dark black boards.

"Good, now bring Inuyasha to me." She demanded.

"Yes, I will do as you wish." Kouga bowed and turned and sped out of the room. He ran through the forest, but then he stopped suddenly when slight mere flash back in his memory. He gasped when he saw the girl dancing with him in the tribal dance. "Do......Do I know her?" He questioned, but he quickly scuffed the thought to the side, and started off into the forest again. He came face to face with Inuyasha, Kouga could see the red blood shot scratches streak its way from his saw line to the center of his cheek.

"Where is she? Where is Kagome?" Inuyasha roared, as he braced his claw for a fight.

"I do not wish to fight you Inuyasha......"Kouga said, as another vision appeared before him. It was a girl in strange cloths yelling sit to the person that was right in front of him. The dog demon fell to the ground and the girl walked off proudly. He shook his hand and continued on with his conversation. "But, I've come to tell you that Kagome is safe and in good hands, I have been sent to escort you to the Dark Shrine of the North Mountains." He finished, as he swayed his hand in the direction he intended to take.

Inuyasha still wide-eyed and rubbing his eyes in disbelief. "Kouga, who could you still be alive, you were dead."

"Kouga..." he thought, "I don't remember ever meeting that person, and my name is Kasha, leader of the wolf clan. You must have me confused as some one else. Please come, my master is waiting for your arrival."

Inuyasha followed closely behind him. He ran for what seemed like hours until he stopped in front of a huge castle, protected by large stone walls. Kouga motioned him to go in and Inuyasha did so, but he was so sure about it. He saw a shadowed figure sitting in the darkness holding someone. A light snuck its way on her body and Inuyasha gasped as he saw Kagome lying in her lap and against her chest as the figure gently stroked her hair.

"Don't you hate it when enemies figure out your weakness?" said a wemon

"Come into the light and face me!" Inuyasha growled evilly.

"Fine I will do as you wish, but on one condition..."

"Yes, what is it?"

"You will come with me if you lose."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome and then back at the mask figure behind the darkness. "Lose to what?" He snapped.

"The fight with Kasha..." She replied pointing to Kouga behind him. Kouga grunted and turned his head to the side.

"That is Kouga, what did you do to him?"

"I dug him up from his grave and gave him life again, but he has no memories of his pervious life." She replied.

Inuyasha snickered in disgust. "How could you do this to Kouga? How could you do this to Kagome too?"

"Because it was my will and I wanted her to suffer for what she has done!" she yelled as she pounded her hand on the floor boards.

"What has she ever done to you?" He yelled back.

"She stole the most precious thing in my life, you." She paused for the answer in which she waited.
