"Well...her scent ends here." Inuyasha said. "And I found her staff." He continued as he walked back over to Leomae who was still sniffing around on the ground (and I'M the bitch!) ((Shut up!! ::tries to get up from chair:: I swear when I get out of this chair...YOU ARE DEAD MEAT!!!)) (Well we'll just have to prevent that won't we? ::adjusts straps tighter on chair:: there! ::goes back to computer::) (( .. )). "Hey do you smell that?" Leomae asked. Inuyasha stopped and sniffed the air to see what she was talking about. Once he caught it he began growling. "What?" Leomae asked, raising her head to look up at him from her crouched position on the ground. "Wolves. There were wolves here." He said. "You think they may have taken her?" Leomae asked. "It's possible. Come on we need to go back and tell the others." He said and began to run off towards the camp.
Koki groaned as she sat up, holding her pounding head. "I swear when I get hold of that ass he is DEAD." She muttered to herself. She slowly opened her eyes to take in her surroundings and froze. "Oh Kami. Where in the seven hells am I?" she asked herself quietly. She noticed she was squeezing something furry in her hands and looked down. It was a fur blanket. She frowned in confusion. She released the blanket and moved to stand before she realized something. The only things covering her body were bandages over her chest and her shorts over her bottom. She screamed out attracting the attention of the male outside standing guard. He was under strict orders to watch her and ran in to see what was wrong. When he came in, she quickly covered herself and screamed again, throwing whatever she got her hands on at him. He ran out to avoid being knocked unconscious by the unbelievably strong girl.
When he got outside the room, he ran into his leader. "What the hell is going on?" he asked. The youkai couldn't answer so he pushed past him and went into his room. He immediately had to duck when something came flying at his face. He looked at the object and then back at her. She was glaring hard at him. "Will you calm your ass down?" he growled when she chucked another object at him. "NO!! Who the hell are you? Where the hell am I? And where are the rest of my damn clothes?!!" she yelled. He dodged the other object thrown his direction as he made his way over to the bed. He grabbed both her arms and pinned them to her sides. She made a mad struggle and growled in frustration when she couldn't break free. After a few minutes she finally gave up and stopped moving. She raised her head to glare up at him. "You're strong but not THAT strong." He smirked down at her. That only fueled her anger. "Who are you? And where am I?" she asked again. "Do you have short term memory?" He asked. She frowned in confusion. "Yes it depends. Why?" she asked. "Apparently you don't remember me." He said. "Well you're a stranger to me and a youkai. Why should I remember you?" she retorted. "Well you seemed to think I was amusing earlier today." He said. She gave him a confused look again. "Think back to earlier..." he said. She looked down and at the wall as she thought over the events of the day. 'Ok I got up, ate, we met up with Sesshomaru, we went shard hunting, met up with a youkai group, got the shards they had, then ran into some idiot...' her thought train stopped right there. He smirked when her eyes widened in realization. "Aw hell!!! Get off me!!" she cried and began struggling again. He finally let her go and stepped back. His eyes widened when he saw a problem and a light blush went over his face. "What the hell are you staring at?!" she snapped. up." He said turning his head. She frowned and looked down. She let out a startled gasp and yanked up the blanket, wrapping it tightly around her body beneath her arms. "You hentai!" She could feel her face burn with embarrassment. "Who dressed my wound?" she asked quietly. "One of the females in my clan wrapped you up but I cleaned it." he answered. He opened his mouth to continue but she raised her hand. "I don't want to know." She said. He moved to a different part of the room and came back, throwing some material at her. "I'll leave you to change." He began. "And I'll be back with your dinner." And with that said he left the room.
"Did you find her?" Kagome asked. "No we found her staff. But I have an idea of where she might be." Inuyasha said. "Where?" Miroku asked. "Well there was a scent of wolves in the area so he thinks she's at Kouga's." Leomae continued. "Why would he care about her? The only girl he fancies is Kagome." Miroku said earning a hard glare from the human miko. "I don't know...but it wasn't him. Two from his pack got her. I could smell them. It was the two who usually hang around him." Inuyasha stated. "Well let's go get her!" Miroku cheered. Sango, who was now able to move easier, swung Hiraikotsu down on his head. "Hentai." She muttered. "We can't go yet anyway." Kagome said. "And why not?" Inuyasha asked. "I cannot believe how dense and forgetful you are!" Kagome released an exasperated sigh. "It's a new moon tonight, Inuyasha." He snorted. "So?" "Inuyasha!" Kagome cried. "Do you wanna get killed?" she asked. "Yeah. Koki's like a sister to me and I want to go get her back too but she would hate it if we were to go up against a full youkai while in our human form." Leomae argued. "We can go get her tomorrow." Leomae walked over to a tree and jumped up into it, sitting on her favorite branch. Inuyasha sighed. "I guess you're right." He said then he joined Leomae in the tree. The others went back into the hut.
Koki was sitting on the bed fuming...she was really pissed. After she ate, she had tried to leave the den so that she could go back to her friends. But Kouga caught her right as she stepped outside. She squealed in surprise when he hoisted her over his shoulder and brought her back inside to his room, dumping her carefully on the bed. He left the room and told two of his male pack members to watch her and make sure she didn't escape again. "Arrogant ass." She muttered. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she needed to find a way to get out. She didn't trust him at all and wasn't comfortable being in HIS room. "I don't believe this. This is a load of shit. He can't keep me here forever I'll get out one way or the other." She sighed and moved to shift her position but one of her muscles in her lower back protested against it. She cried out in pain and tried to move so it would stop hurting but that wasn't working. She whimpered as she breathed through the pain, catching the attention of one of the males outside. "What's the problem?" he asked. "Nothing." She said trying to keep her face straight but when she moved again her face scrunched up. "Ahh..." she whimpered. The wolf left and a couple minutes later Kouga came in. "What is it?" he asked. "I said...sharp intake of breath...nothing." She replied. She raised her butt off the bed, rolling her hips forward so that she could stretch her leg and lower back. He walked over to her and placed his hand on her lower back, pressing slightly on it. Koki gasped and tried to pull away but he wouldn't let her. "Does that hurt?" he asked. "Obviously!" she snapped. "You're probably having a back spasm." He said and began rubbing it a bit. "I knew that." she replied through gritted teeth. She whimpered a bit again and leaned forward placing her hands on her knees. After a minute he pulled his hand from her back and sat back. "Is that better?" he asked. "Yes, thank you." She said, wishing he would go away now. "You can go now." She said and turned away from him. "Who are you to tell me what to do?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at her. She whipped her head in his direction. "Who are you to keep me here against my will?!" she snapped back. He didn't respond at first, knowing she was right. "You're still injured. I'm not about to let you go wandering around outside where any youkai could easily pick you off. Kagome would hate me for that. Then she would never agree to be my mate." He said. "She wouldn't anyway. She doesn't like you in that way you idiot." Koki stated. "Whatever." He sighed and left the room.
&&&Short Break&&&
Leomae: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Koki: ::glare at Leomae::
Leomae: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Koki: it's not THAT funny
Leomae: like hell it isn't! I'm not the one stuck with him.
Koki: well I'm not the one stuck to a chair.
Leomae: ::glare at Koki:: I'll get out and believe me you'll get yours.
&&&End Break&&&
"This really sucks." Inuyasha complained as he pulled of the last bit of white hair. "You wanna know why it's so bad for me to be a hanyou? THIS would be one reason." He told Leomae as he threw the hair from him. "I think it's great! This only happens twelve times a year anyway Inuyasha." She said from the spring where she, Sango, and Kagome were. He was sitting on the other side of the large boulder that was the barrier. "Yeah well it should be less." He griped. All three girls laughed. "Have you figured out what we are gonna do?" Leomae asked as she soaped up her golden hair. "Well it's not a plan but Inuyasha'll storm in there, him and Kouga will throw punches and insults while we go get Kokuei." Kagome said, smirking because she knew Inuyasha was glaring at her through the rock. "And how do you know if that was the plan?" he asked. "Because it's typical of you Inuyasha." She said. They all giggled when he 'feh-ed'.
&&&Next Morning&&&
"Hopefully I can get some sleep now that that ass isn't in here." Koki griped as she lay down.
&&Flashback&&
"Oh for the love of...that cannot be natural. You just HAD to sleep in here." Koki moved her head from under her pillow and raised up on her elbows. "Kouga..." Koki shook his shoulder. "Wake up." He began to stir so she knew he was partially awake. "Turn over on your side." She whispered. He did after a few seconds but not the direction she wanted. "Whatever." She laid back down with her head facing away from him. She turned on her side still not facing him and was almost asleep till she felt some thing wrap around her waist. "No, no...please no..." her hair stood on end when she felt something lightly on the back of her neck and realized it was HIM... BREATHING ON HER. 'I'm in hell. I've officially gone to hell.' She thought. "Well...at least he stopped snoring." She mumbled as she fell back asleep.
&&End Flashback&&
"Stupid idiot probably thought I was Kagome until he woke up." She said. She fell asleep quickly and was asleep for maybe half an hour when a loud thud and a cry woke her up. "What the hell?" Koki got up and walked groggily out of the room. "Ginta what's going on?" she looked out and saw that he was lying on the ground but he wasn't sleeping. She knelt beside him and rolled him onto his back. "Ginta wake up. Can you hear me? Ginta?" Koki begged. "He'll be out for a while so there's really no use." Came a voice. Koki looked in the direction of the voice and saw a female. "Who are you?" Koki asked. "Who I am isn't important since you won't be alive long enough." The girl said then she jumped at Koki who dodged her attack. "You are human are you not?" the girl asked. Koki narrowed her eyes. "Yes I am. Is that a problem for you?" Koki asked. "No actually it makes this easier." She said and attacked her again. "My aren't you on the defensive side." The girl said. "Well I haven't found a weapon yet so I can kick your ass." Koki said. "Why don't you just use your bow and arrows?" she asked. Koki frowned at her. "Because that isn't my weapon." She said. Then she realized something. "Oh I see. You're Ayame aren't you and you think I'm Kagome?" Koki asked. "Yes that is my name and if you aren't Kagome then who are you?" she asked. "I am Kokuei, a demon slayer, and I do know Kagome." She answered. "Well I guess it makes no difference. I can still smell Kouga on you." Ayame said then jumped at her. They were now near the waterfall that covered the entrance to the cave. Koki spotted what looked like a spear outside and ran towards it, grabbing it as she ran through the water. She stood in a fighting stance with the spear placed before her. "Now I'm ready." Koki said. Ayame launched at her and Koki kept her pushed back with the spear. She dropped on her back, put her foot on Ayame's stomach and flipped her over, making her release her hold on the spear. "Why do you wanna kill me Ayame? I didn't do anything to you." Koki asked. "I am to be Kouga's mate, not you and certainly not that wench Kagome." Ayame said. "I'm not going to be his." Koki said. "Then why are you here and why do you smell like him?" Ayame asked. "I am here because me and my friend were attacked. I was thrown into the forest away from her and I was injured. Two of the wolves in his pack found me and brought me here so that my wounds may be tended to." Koki began. Little did the two females know, Kouga and a couple other wolves were watching from above. "And the only reason I would smell like him is because I was using his bed to sleep in. I couldn't sleep on the floor because of my back." Koki finished. "Well I can see you're telling the truth about your wounds I can smell your blood, I think they've been reopened." Ayame said. Koki knew that but she was ignoring the pain. "And how do I know you're telling the truth about the other?" Kouga decided to intervene now because Ayame's accusations were becoming too ridiculous. "Because I would not allow her to sleep anywhere else." He said, dropping between them. Koki stuck the spear into the ground resting a bit and realized something. She began to run back to the den, still ignoring the pain in her body. "Where are you going?" he asked stopping her. "I forgot about Ginta." She said trying to pull her arm from him. "What about him?" Kouga asked. "She attacked him and I wanted to see if he was okay. He wasn't conscious earlier." She said. Kouga sighed. "Where is he?" he asked. "Outside your room." Koki answered. Kouga turned to the two wolves with him and told them to go tend to him. "He'll be fine. He's been through worse sniff I see your wounds have reopened." He said. "Well if that stupid bitch hadn't attacked me it wouldn't have happened." Koki snapped glaring at Ayame who growled at the insult. "Hey! We're not starting this again. Let's go." Kouga said. Koki found she couldn't walk correctly anymore and after a small quarrel, Kouga picked her up and carried her back, setting her gently on the pile of hay. "Well I hope YOU'RE happy. My wounds were almost healed enough for me to go back to my friends but now thanks to YOU, that'll be delayed." Koki snapped. "Shut up you little-"Ayame stood to swipe at Koki. "Ayame sit down." Kouga said as he came back in the room. Ayame stuck her tongue out at Koki who only smirked at her, knowing she won this round.
Koki: ok it was more than a little. But I hope this made up for me stealing the disk for the whole Spring Break!

Koki: I'm having fun so far are you?
Leomae: ::tied to chair still:: oh yeah...--'...loads.
