Zarbok:

Sorry about the short review.
This is a very entertaining fic and I hope you do not do like some others and leave it unfinished.

Well the only hint I can give you is to wright at your own pace if you rush the chapter its quality suffers (it doesn't really apply to this chapter but its the only hint I have to give).

To surmize, this is a good fic and I will be reviewing every chapter till it is finished.

Signed
Zarbok

Haunt: Thanks! I'm glad to know that you like it.

Inuyasha: Keh! In my opinion, she doesn't write fast enough!

Kagome: But nobody asked you.

Firestorm2004:

Please do continue! This story is one of the more interesting ones that I've read. I'm glad that you're writing one that is a Inu Yasha/Kagome pairing, instead of Inu Yasha/Kikyo or someone else. I don't like those. Also, it's great when someone sticks to the same storyline as the manga/anime, like you're doing. There are too many AUs out there. Please do update soon!

Inuyasha: Keh. I don't love Kikyo...

Haunt: You certainly act like it, dog-boy.

PisxiePam:

WA! You left it at a cliffy! WA! I think that I am going to cry! Oh well you are really good at writing this and I love Evenscence and AVril Lavigne!! They are awesome! Please Update soon and I can't wait till the confrontation with Kouga

Inuyasha: Waitaminute, Kagome is alone with the wolf?!

Koga: Does that bother ya, mutt?

Kit-Kat

Dear Haunt,

Well,
Come on!! you left everyone hanging on chapter 3. Please write more. Just let Inuyash and Kagome meat. After that have Inuyasha tell her the truth!! Please write!! I won't be able to sleep for awhile because of it!!

One of your fans,
Kit-Kat

Kagome: Truth?

Inuyasha: Errrr....nothing! She didn't say anything!

Kagome: Where are you, anyway?

Inuyasha:....noooowhere...

I'm glad you all like it! And now...chapter four!

-.-.-

"So the mutt just up and left?"

"He's not a mutt," The miko replied, shooting a glare at the ookami-youkai, "but yes, he did leave."

They were sitting together around a small fire that the wolf had built in the middle of a clearing. Night had fallen, and Kirara was curled up in a deep snooze near the flame.

Kagome handed Koga a cup of ramen. The wolf wrinkled his nose and gingerly sniffed the noodles. "What is this?"

"It's called ramen," the girl replied. "Inuyasha likes it, so I thought you might, too."

Koga sniffed the spicy noodles several more times before he cautiously lifted a bit with his chopsticks and placed it into his mouth. Kagome watched, hiding her amusement, as he chewed.

"Hey! This stuff is good!"

Swallowing a laugh, Kagome nibbled on an apple as her wolven friend gobbled down the noodles. She'd spent the last hour explaining to him that she was chasing Inuyasha.

"So, anyway," Koga finally said, crumpling the empty cup and tossing it away into the darkness, "Why are you looking for dog-shit? He always treated you like crap."

"Koga-kun," The miko warned. The ookami cringed under her scalding gaze as she continued. "I'm looking for him because...I'm worried about him. I don't want him to get hurt."

Koga stretched out on the grass with a sigh. "Fine then. I guess I'll have to help you. My nose is better than that cats' and yours combined, in any case."

The girl smiled at her friend, who blushed under her happy look. "Arigatou, Koga-kun."

"No problem, Kagome," The youkai mumbled, rolling over so that his back was to her.

The miko sat staring at the crackling flame. Where are you, Inuyasha? And why did you leave?

How am I supposed to find you?

-.-.-

Long after the girl had fallen asleep, a red-clad figure slunk into the small camp. The last embers of the fire were dwindling, and the deep glow they emitted gave the hanyou enough light to look the sleeping girl over and make sure that she was still in one piece.

Curving a strand of Kagome's dark hair behind her ear, Inuyasha sighed. Kagome...why are you following me?

"So, dog-breath, I see you've come back."

"Eep--" At the wolfs' quiet voice, the inu-hanyou jumped about a foot in the air and whirled around. Koga sat idly in the light of the dying cinders, smirking at him.

Inuyasha snorted, crossing his arms. "I have to make sure you haven't done anything to her, don't I?" I didn't even know he was awake.

"I wouldn't do anything to her!" Koga snapped in a hushed voice, a deep flush rising into his cheeks.

"Keh! Like hell you wouldn't, wolf." The hanyou mumbled back. "In any case, don't tell her I was here."

"And why shouldn't I?"

Inuyasha began to turn away. "Because if you do, she'll come after me and completely ignore you. So there."

His rival's silence made him smirk as he darted away into the darkness of the forest. Game, set and match, wolf.

-.-.-

Koga sighed and laid back down, glaring into the woods as the light of the glittering coals died away to nothing. Baka hanyou.
