Kagome woke up to see Kilala sitting by her side. She sighed, both relieved and irritated. " Kilala..." she said, sitting up. " What are you doing inside?"

The creature mewed at her. She smiled faintly, and gently stroked her fur.

" At least you can't talk; then I'd have a lot to explain!" she said, grateful that it had only been Kilala. She heard a noise outside her door, and she started wondering if she had been wrong about being alone. She stood up, and started to walk to the doorway.

Sango ran into her. " Oh, I am sorry, Kagome!" she exclaimed, " I was looking for Kilala. I did not wake you, did I?"

Kagome shook her head. " How long were you outside my doorway?" she asked.

" I just got here." she replied, spying Kilala close behind. " There you are!" she exclaimed, picking her up. She looked back up at Kagome with a slightly puzzled expression. " Why do you ask?" she asked, petting Kilala's head.

Kagome froze. " Oh, great, Kagome, just go ahead and open you big mouth!" she scolded herself. " No reason..." she replied. " It's just that I had heard a noise, and I wanted to make sure it was you."

" You heard a noise?" she echoed worriedly, looking behind her. " I haven't seen anything, and I don't think Kilala can smell anything..."

Back by the hot spring, Shippo and Moroku were getting out of the water. Inuyasha continued to sit up in the tree, looking toward the hut Kagome was sleeping in.

" You know you have to admit it sooner or later, Inuyasha..." Moroku said, wrapping a towel around his waist.

Inuyasha looked down at him. " Admit what?!" he asked. " Oh, great, what's he getting at?!?!"

Moroku waited until Shippo ran off. " Admit that maybe Kikyo isn't as much of your concern anymore as Kagome is." he replied.

" Gyah!" he thought. He glared at the monk. " That doesn't even make sense!" he scoffed.

" You know very well it does." Moroku replied. " Tell me, do you still think of Kikyo every day?"

" Yeah." Inuyasha replied, jumping out of the tree. He crossed his arms. " So?"

" Tell me, do you think of her every moment?" he asked.

Inuyasha's eyes grew wide. " Well, I, uh..." he stammered. " Damn!" he thought, " Think of something; quick!" Suddenly, the reason for him to think of an excuse disappeared, as he soon found a legitimate one. " Wolves!" he said, " I can smell them on the grounds!"

Moroku quickly put on his robe (as fast as someone can possibly put one of those things on!), and grabbed his staff. " Where are they headed?!" he asked.

" Oh, no..." he thought, fearing for the slightest moment that they were already too late, " They're headed toward the hut!" He started to run. " They're after..."

Suddenly, Kilala's fur stood on end, and she began growling. Sango looked down at her. " Maybe I was wrong..." she said quietly, looking behind her again. Sure enough, she was proved right.

" Wolf demons again!!" she exclaimed. She reached behind her to grab her boomerang, but soon remembered that she had left it at the hot spring. " Oh, no!" she exclaimed, " Now what?!"

Kagome turned to grab her bow, but one of the wolves rushed in and snatched it away. " What's going on?!" she gasped, turning to face her foe.

" Kagome," Koga said, with a wolfish grin on his face, " Surprised to see me?"

She gasped. " It was...you?!" she exclaimed.

He laughed, picking her up. " I told you we would be soul mates, Kagome!" he said, putting her over his shoulder. He started to walk out the door, when Sango stepped in front of it.

" I may not have my boomerang," she said angrily, " But I will not allow you to take Kagome away, no matter what!"

Koga pushed her aside. She started to rise, but wolves surrounded her.

" You make one move," he said, " And you'll become dog chow. My boys have been pretty starved lately." He waved casually as he started to run. " See ya!" he shouted.

Kagome looked up as he started running; just in time to see Inuyasha arrive. " Inuyasha!!!" she cried. " Please...Inuyasha...don't let him take me away from you!"

Inuyasha stared for a moment at the man running off with a helpless girl. " Kagome..." he said quietly. Suddenly, his brain kicked in, and he started chasing them. " Kagome!!!!" he shouted as he pursued them. " I have to save her!" he thought, " I can't let Koga get away!!!"

" Admit that maybe Kikyo isn't as much of your concern anymore as Kagome is." Moroku's voice echoed through his mind.

" Never!!!" he thought, running faster.

Koga looked behind himself to see the hanyou in pursuit. He chuckled. " Hn! That mutt thinks he can keep up with me?!" he exclaimed. " I'll show him; I'm just getting warmed up!" Suddenly, he sped up, and, before Kagome realized what he had done, Inuyasha was out of sight.

" No!" she cried, trying to slide out of his grip, but it was no use. She hung her head sadly as Koga made his way to the den.

Inuyasha kept running. He wasn't ready to give up yet.

" There's no way I'm giving up without a fight!" he thought to himself, trying to quicken his pace. It didn't work very well, but he kept trying, hoping at each corner that he would see Koga carrying Kagome, and then...." I'll beat the shit outta that bastard..." he added with a smirk.
