A/N Yay!!!! I finally did it! I got the next chapter up!!! I'm really sorry that took so long. I'll try harder to get the next chapters out sooner. Luv all who posted. feeling on creative so no muses. I can tell your all dissapointed. Disclamier: I do not own InuYasha

I laid back on my mat and watched the stars for a while. The nerve of him! Claiming to be Sango's husband, really, it's just disgusting. But on the bright side, Sango's not married after all! Now all I need to do is discredit Ookami and win Sango's heart. I sighed and rolled over. That's not going to be too easy, she's still in mourning for her family, and there's the problem with Kohaku. Plus she might cling to Ookami, because he's a link to her past. But I must try! For Sango's sake, I shall win her heart and save her from the clutches of Ookami!
The next morning I got up and sat by the fire, my spirits high. Kagome was humming to herself while she fixed breakfast, and InuYasha was sulking because he had to stay behind, the air had a slight crispness to it, speaking of late spring, and early morning. Yes, life is good. Then I saw Sango and Ookami, sitting together, talking, by themselves. My spirits dropped, like a stone. I have to interfere! I scanned the clearing where we were camped for inspiration, spying some flowers I quickly plucked the little orange flowers and gathered them into a small bouquet. Then I settling my self between Sango and Ookami and offered the flowers to her. "Here, flowers, for the lady."

Sango's eyes got really round, you could tell she was caught off guard, then she blushed, a slight coloring high on her cheek bones, that just added to her beauty, and accepted my flowers. "um, thank you Houshi-sama..."

I could fell Ookami breathing down my neck, and I couldn't help but grin. Say something witty now. "So, what have you and Ookami been talking about?" Dolt! Don't talk about him!

"oh, just what life was like before Naraku came."

I shifted a little bit, awkward and trying to think of something to say. With monkey-brain there breathing down my neck the tension was just too high. Then my eyes fell on her bottom. Her beautiful, soft bottom, it look so pretty contrasted against the moss. I reached forward, ready to feel the softness of her body. I looked into her eyes and smiled, she smiled tentatively, and then, "HENTAI!!!!!!!"

I sat by the fire rubbing my still ringing head 20 minutes later. Damn, she has an arm. A beautiful arm, only surpassed in beauty by her bottom. But it's so irritating, she never likes my advances. Granted this is my first one, but still. The worst part of this wasn't InuYasha shaking his head and acting all superior, it was that damn Ookami's grin. He was just lording it over me that he has better luck with Lady Sango then I do. I stared moodily into the fire, and kicked at some charcoal.

InuYasha sidled over to Kagome and said, "Is breakfast ready yet?"

"Yeah, Hey guys, breakfast's ready!" She yelled the last bit.

Sango and Ookami walked slowly back the fire still deep in conversation with each other. I sat up straighter and accepted the bowl that Kagome offered me. Moping wont get me Sango. Ookami sat down near the fire and took his bowl. He sniffed it suspiciously. "What's this, Kagome-chan?"

"It's oatmeal with walnuts, try some, it's good." He tentatively took a bite, then brightened.

"This is really good. Kagome-chan, I have never eaten better then when traveling with you."

"Um, thank you, but it's just freeze dried, no biggie," She mumbled, obviously embarrassed.

"What is this freeze dried you speak of?"

"Oh, nothing, just a way of preparing food."

Conversation continued merrily, mostly about Kagome trying and failing, to explain to Ookami's substandard brain the complexities of a tooth brush, but I sat and thought for a while, just letting the conversation wash over me. "Now why would one want to 'brush' their teeth like their hair?"

This Ookami guy, I don't trust him, why has he got designs on my Sango? He will bear close watching. "Miroku! Miroku! I'm talking to you!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Kagome-chan, what is it?"

"What's wrong? Your usually on top of things. I was just telling Ookami-kun about your wind tunnel."

"Hmm, that's right, Naraku bored a hole in my grandfathers hand, it has been passed on to me." I extended my hand forward so he could see. It was my good groping hand too.

"That's very interesting," Ookami reached forward, and gently touched the purple cloth of the seal. "Can I see an example of it at work?"

"No! It is very powerful, and can cause allot of damage." For some reason I got a strong sense of foreboding about showing him my wind tunnel.

"Oh, all right. You don't have to yell."

"I didn't yell!" Did I?

Just then the ever-chipper Kagome popped her head in and said, "Are you guys ready? Were leaving right now."

"Yes of course," With a last glare at each other Ookami and I left the clearing not quite together.

Kagome dashed up to InuYasha and pecked him on the cheek. "Be good, we'll be right back."

I settled into a walk next to Kagome, letting Sango and Ookami talk. "What is it that women want?"

Kagome looked at me in surprised, and then smiled. "Well, they want to feel special, like their the only women for a man. They also like special, thoughtful gifts. Why do you ask, Houshi-sama?"

"Oh, no reason." Hmmm, I suppose that means I must stop from, ahem, enjoying other women.

I watched the others walk out of the clearing, then with a little "feh," jumped onto a tree branch to wait for Kilala. Something about that Ookami makes me uneasy, I don't know why. I shifted into a more comfortable position and settled in to wait, the only movement betraying my presence an occasional flick of the ear. Suddenly I caught a sent on the wind that made me sit up straight and growl. Not today! Don't make that mangy wolf come today! Sadly I have never been able to get him to stay away and a few seconds later a whirlwind came into my clearing. "Hey, dog-turd! Where's my Kagome? You haven't lost her, have you?"

"She's her own person, Wolf! You don't own her!"

"Yeah, so where is she? I'm surprised you let her out of your sight! Can't you sense Naraku's presence?"

At this I became extremely alarmed. Closing my eyes I opened my ears slowly turned them and started trying to hear if I could find some hint of Naraku, hearing nothing I took deep breaths and concentrated on nothing but the smells. It was hard, the clearing was filled with people. Humans smell. I'm not trying to be mean, but they reek, demons have almost no smell, Hanyous little more, but still not much. Then you get and humans, and well, it washes everything else out. When I'm a human its not as bad, and Kagome really does smell nice, but when I'm a demon, traveling with humans, sometimes my nose hurts. But I carefully sifted through each sent, Kagome's, apples and cinnamon, and something strange I only smell in the future, but makes my nose hurt, Sango's, Lilies, grief and death, Miroku's, noodles, empty void, and loose women, and Ookami's strange sent I can't quite place. I spent a long time on his sent. Then I hit it. Naraku's sent hidden in Ookami's! I leaped up, almost losing my balance and turning my fall into a jump. "Shit!"

"What is it? Where's Kagome?"

"She's, ah, with Naraku..."

"What!" At that Kaouga turned into a whirlwind and ran off... in the wrong direction.

"Mangy wolf," I muttered then started off toward Sango's village. Then at the same time The hanger-on's Ginta and Hakkaku came puffing up, "Hey InuYasha! Have you seen..." and Kouga came whirling in.

"Dog Breath! Which way did Kagome go?"

"Kouga! What's up? Will up stop running off like that?"

Wearily I pointed and started running at top speed after the whirlwind, Ginta and Hakkaku's whining in my ears. Kagome hang on! I'm coming for you.
