Rating: PG-13

Kikia woke up the next morning to find one of the maids cleaning her room.

"Excuse me, but who are you?" She said, geting out of bed, and changing. " I am Katchi. Pleasure to meet you." Said the maid, bowing to Kikia.

"Exactly who are you, my Lord?" Said katchi, making the bed. "I'm Kikia. Pleasure to meet you also." She said, walking out of the room and down the halls. Kikia grabed something to eat, then left to go outside.

Kikia started towards the Western Lands. She wanted to visit all the lands, to fight demons. She ran for many days. When she got about half way to the Western Lands, a demon tackled her to the ground, before she even knew what was happening. She soon saw it was no other than Kouga. "Kouga. Get offa' me." She said trying to kick him off of her.

"Think I'm that stupid to fall for that old trick?" Said Kouga, pushing harder on her shoulders and legs, making her unable to move but one thing.

"No, but your stupid enough to fall for this one!" She said, as she head- butted him, making Kouga dizzy, and releasing his grip.

"HA! You fell for it!" She said as she rolled over pinning him.

"Hm. Whatcha gonna do now?" She said with a I'm-so-much-better-than-you look. Kouga just sat there, knowing he'd been beat.

"Say something, Kouga!" She said staring at him. He still never answered Kikia, he kinda had zoned out, until Kikia slapped him waking him up. "Wake up!!!" She said. Kouga had once chance to beat her. He quickly rolled over, turning the tables on her.

"It seems I have pinned you, she-demon." Said Kouga with a stupid little smirk on his face. Then the unexpeted happened. Kouga suddenly leaned forward kissing Kikia. Kikia quickly pushed him off of her, leaving him on the ground, and her standing in front of him. Kikia wiped her lips on her sleave. "What the heck was that for?!" She said, looking confused at him.

"You love me or something?!' She said also. "I...I...I do..." Studdered Kouga, walking towards Kikia.

"Oh, no, you wolf. I have things to do, places to go, people to see. And your NOT on the list!!" She said, quickly walking away. Kouga just sat there.

"Need help, Kikia?" Said Kouga, wanting to make up. Kikia stoped and turned around and looked at him.

"Oh, alright, as long as you don't bug me..."She said, and continued walking. Kouga got a happy, little smile on his face and followed.

After a while of walking, they stoped at a tree to rest. It was starting to get dark outside. Kikia jump out of the tree she was in and looked and litsened for something. "Whatcha looking for ?" Kouga whispered. Kikia backed up some, looking in the sky.

"Kouga, hide. quickly!" She whispered. Soon after she said that, Naraku landed in front of her, not in his babboon coat. Kikia started to growl.

"I want the jewel shards you have."Naraku said, walking closer to Kikia

"No, flippin' way!" She said, signaling Kouga to come out and help. Kouga jumped out, and ran up to Kikia.

"Wanna die quick, or painfully slow?" She said with her fangs showing, and unsheathing her sword.

"Just give me the shards." Naraku said, moving closer to Kikia and Kouga.

"Think we're THAT stupid?" She said, making Kouga back up against her. Naraku had a stupid smirk on his face.

"TiChani!" They both shouted, as Kikia slamed Naraku into a tree hardly. Naraku was a bit shocked, the demon wasn't as bad as he thought.

Kikia held her sword up to his neck, so close it was brushing against his neck.

"Heh heh" She said under her breath. Kouga watched from behind a tree, because he still had the Jewel shards in his legs. There was no way Kouga would let Naraku get them.

"I could kill you now, you know, Naraku." She said, pushing on him harder.

"Hmpf, that won't happen, wench." Naraku said, knocking her sword away, and grabing her wrist.

"Let go of me, you idiot!!" She shouted, trying to get free. Kouga wanted to jump out and kill Naraku for touching Kikia, but he decided to stay put and see what happens. Naraku picked up Kikia and leaves quickly. Kouga gasped and runs after them but he lost them.

Soon, they were at Naraku's Castle. He tied Kikia up, and put her in a room. She struggled around, but no avail.

"ARGH! Naraku I'll kill you as soon as I get free!!" She shouted, while growling. Naraku entered the room looking at Kikia.

"Let me go. NOW!" she yelled. Naraku slaped her across the face, knocking her off the bed. He untied the ropes. She got up, about to hit him, when he grabed her by her neck, slamming her into the wall. Kikia got loose and punches him, and slashes rapidly at him. Naraku was angery. Very angery. He slashed at her mant times, leaving lots of deep cuts on her. She got away, and ran out the door and trying to find Kouga. She was hurt from being thrown into the wall.

Kouga searched for Naraku's Castle, but he couldn't find it. soon after searching some more, Kikia ran up to him, then fell backwards, panting and bleeding.

"Kikia!" Kouga gasped and sat next to her. After she fell asleep, Kouga picked her up, and started towards his packs mountain. When it got dark outside, Kouga stoped at a tree, and sat Kikia and he sat next to her. she was still breathing hard, and cuts still bleeding some. Kouga decided to keep going. He picked up Kikia again and continued towards the cave. Kouga thought he was near. Soon two of the pack members came out to see Kouga.

"Hey Kouga!" One shouted, then they saw someone in his arms. Kouga walked past them and into the cave, seting her on his bed/pile of hay. Kouga left Kikia side, to find someone to help heal Kikia. Soon he found TanTaki.

"TanTaki! I need help! Come on!" He said, signaling her to follow him to Kikia. "Oh my, this is the work of Naraku isn't it?" Said TanTaki. Kouga slowly noded.

"Hm, I'm sorry Kouga, I don't know what to do for her." She said, looking worried. Kouga noded, then layed down next to Kikia, gentally stroking her long, silverish hair. Kouga fell asleep soon after.

Kouga woke up to find Kikia outside the cave talking with some of the other wolfs there. She had a sling-looking thing on her arm and bandages on her cuts that TanTaki had put on. Kouga sat down next to Kikia and puts his hand on her shoulder.

"Morning, Kikia" said Kouga.

"Hi." Said Kikia, looking down.

"Whats wrong, Kikia?" Said Kouga, looking around

"Oh, Nothing, we should get going soon." She said getting up. Kouga got up and stood next to her.

"Sure you're ready to go?" The wolf said.

"Yeah....." She said, starting to walk down the cliff. Kouga followed.

Kikia never said much the while time walking until she leaned against a tree hanging on to her bad arm.

"Kikia, you okay?" Kouga said, walking up to her.

"Ouch, Ow', I think..." She said, as she continued walking. Kouga was worried, she wasn't okay. Kouga noticed she had slash marks on the back of her neck, also.

It was getting dark and colder outside, and Kouga sat against a tree, while Kikia was on the other side. Kouga got up and when't to sit next to Kikia. He sat next to her, and put his arm on her shoulders. She was asleep. Soon, so was Kouga. Kouga couldn't sleep long, and when he woke back up, Kikia's head was leaned on his shoulder. Kouga smiled and watched the sun rise. Soon Kikia woke up, and noticed that Kouga was too. Kouga saw Kikia was kinda awake and picked her up and started walking.

"Ooh, uhh...Hi..." Said Kikia, trying to wake up. Kouga smiled.

"Hi, Kikia." Said Kouga, still walking. Kikia started to breath a bit harder, and held her shoulder.

"Something wrong Kikia?" Said Kouga looking at her shoulder. Kikia now was breathing even harder, so Kouga stoped and sat her down.

She layed down and tryed to sleep, evenutally, she did. Kouga was glad she did fall asleep so the pain would leave. He sat next to her, keeping a eye out for demons.

Kikia woke up suddenly, jumping up looking around. Kouga stood up next to her.

"Whats wrong, Kikia?" He asked, with a concered look. She continued looking around, soon falling backwards into a tree. Kouga rushed up to Kikia, and holding her away from the tree. Kikia looked dazed. Kouga was quickly tackled to ground, by a unknown demon, and Kikia stood there about to pounce on it. She took out her sword, and with one slash the demon disapeared, and she leaned back up against a tree. Kouga got up, and held her. She held him back, then sat back down.
