Chapter Eighteen: The Kidnapper and the Innocent

The wolf demon sped away from the demon exterminator's village with his prize in his strong arms. The girl had passed out from shock when he attacked her home. He was going to make her his mate.

"Don't worry pretty thing, I'll always protect you," the canine whispered as he looked upon the lovely face with his bright blue eyes. A soft smile appeared as he bounced and dodged his way to the wolf's den. Koga carefully laid down the lady he kidnapped. He had been infatuated with her since the day his clan had arrived in the valley to get away from Naraku. The eyes of the maiden slightly opened, just enough to see the scraggily demon hovering over her body.

"Koga, what..." Sango began, "What are you doing? Where have you brought me?" The wolf lips came closer to her soft pink ones. A tiny puff of air released itself from the demon exterminator's mouth from surprise. Koga's mouth took a different path, not to the lips he yearned for, but to her ear.

"Sango, I've loved you since the day my nose found your scent. I need you to become my mate," the words tickled her tiny ear, his need fully apparent.

"Koga, stop this! We only agreed not to kill you because there were very few of your kind left from when Naraku attacked your clan. You're lucky you aren't dead by now!" Sango cried out.

"Sango, my love, this is why I need you, so there can be more of our kind. They will be very strong because of your demon exterminator heritage. They will be wonderful children." While Koga tried to convince her, Sango grasped the area around where they were and her hand clutched a sharp stone.

"Why can't you take no for an answer?" the girl questioned propelling her knee to his groin making contact with the sensitive region. Moaning in agony the wolf demon hunched over. Sango took her chance and gorged his sculpted leg with the rock. Blood gushed forth and the girl then punched him squarely in his jaw knocking him senseless for a small time. She knew it was her cue to vanish.

Her body became one with the wind, her mind targeted home. The young girl's lungs screamed for oxygen, yet she knew she had to get back to her family. She was worried about what they would think. Father, please accept me back to our family. I need you! Her legs finally reached to familiar land of her ancestors and she was able to slow, she knew that she was safe.

"Father, father, where are you?" the frightened girl yelled as she jogged to her house. As she entered she found her father and the rest of her family around the fire that was cooking dinner. She could barely place one foot in front of the other as she made her way to him. The daughter collapsed and threw her thin arms around his waist and buried her head in his lap and began to cry. "Father! I was so scared, I felt so alone!" Sango sobbed into the material.

"Sango, don't worry, you're back now," comforted her father, "And the elders will see that you're innocent." She turned her head up to see his face. A mystified fog over came her eyes.

"What do you mean the elders will see that I'm innocent?"

"The elders had a meeting when you became absent. Some said you were kidnapped by a wolf demon, others said that you begged him to take you away from here. Sango, honey, do you have anyway to prove that nothing happened between you two?" Horror etched itself into her mind.

"Father, when do the elders reconvene about this?" questioned the blameless child.

"In about two hours or so...don't worry; they'll see you haven't done anything." The family finished they're lunch without much talking and afterward Sango cleaned herself up as best she could to present her case before the elders. Escorts awaited her to bring the young girl to court. Her palms perspired from being nervous and her stomach seemed to be not agreeing with her at all. She entered through the doors and crouched low on her knees to show respect and patiently waited from them to say something.

"Sango of the demon exterminators, you are here on charges brought against you that you have fornicated with a wolf demon, how do you plead?" a loud voice boomed at her.

"Sir Elder, I am not guilty."

"Do you know how long ago you were taken?" Her face scrunched up in thought then trying to remember what had happened. Tiny pieces came to mind.

"No Sir, I remember little."

"Then how do you know that nothing happened?"

"Because when I awoke sir, the wolf demon stated that he wanted to mate with me."

"Well, Sango, to prove you're innocence you must go and fetch this wolf demon. We shall question him as well, and then kill him." She became silent, she couldn't tell them that Koga was trying to be peaceful, that all he wanted was a companion. She had to go and find him. The demon exterminator was given her giant boomerang to hunt down the wolf. She started on her quest to find him, she didn't want to hurt him, but there was nothing that could be done. If they found out that she failed to capture him or didn't want to then they would think something happened between the two and either kill or banish her forever. As she hunted down Koga she didn't notice the other monsters sneaking up on her village.

Night blanketed the sky and the village was asleep. Crawling to the houses insect demons began to dig underneath the earth to make pits to kill all of the inhabitants. Poisonous insects buzzed around like a ceiling to the community. Crow demons waited to devourer the flesh of the victims, it seemed like evil had something against these people and any horrible fiends that could possibly be there were. The lord wanted no survivors. Naraku appeared and gave the signal, the attack began.

Sango heard screaming in the distance. She quickly turned her head in the direction of her home and family. A huge fire was burning and engulfed everything in sight. It was coming straight for her, and she tried to get away. Forgetting her things she sprinted for all she was worth, but the gray smoke choked her and made a home inside her lungs. Coughing she fell to her knees and her eyes watered. Before blackness enveloped her senses, she thought she was picked up by someone.
