Chapter 4

Kaede guided Kagome through the long hall ways that lead to the dining room where Kagome would be having lunch with her kidnapper. Needless to say she was not looking forward to meeting this Koga man. It couldn't possibly be the same Koga she had known all those years ago. That Koga would have never robbed Tiffany's or have kidnapped her.

At last they reached a large Double door. Kagome swallowed hard. Kaede took notice.

"There is no need to be afraid my child, Koga has never killed anyone in his life. He is capable, but I highly doubt he would ever even think of it." Kagome looked Kaede in the eye.

"That's not what I'm afraid of." Kaede put a hand on Kagome's shoulder.

"I wish you luck." And with that the old woman left Kagome alone with the entrance to her possible past.

Kagome took a deep breath and knocked on the door. "Come in." said the husky voice from the night before. Kagome flashed back to the memory of poor Sango having her head bashed against a brick wall. Was Sango alright? Was she in this house as well? "I said you could come in. What's the hold up?"

Kagome pushed open the door slowly. It squeaked a little bit. Kagome observed her surroundings. It was a large room with a small table where two large chairs with red velvet cushions sat on either side. There was a huge window over looking lake Huron. The table was next to the window.

In one of the chairs sat a handsome man with glossy black hair in a high pony tail. He was muscular and his light blue button down shirt hugged his figure in all the right places. So did his khaki pants. Kagome shook herself. Why was she checking out this stranger who not only stole things, but people as well. His blue eyed gaze was familiar. That was probably the only thing that could have led her to believe that this was the Koga who she had loved long ago. But even if he was physically the same Koga he was still not the Koga she loved.

"Please, sit down." He said gesturing towards the chair across from him.

Koga admired every last inch of the lovely girl before him. Her legs, her waist, her breasts, her lips, her cheeks, her eyes, her hair, everything about her was just spectacular. Could this be Kagome Higurashi? The girl who had stolen his heart when they were both just 12 years old? Sure she looked older and more sophisticated than the young girl but he could still see the child in her eyes, her beautiful brown eyes. She sat down across from him.

"Well, I'm here. What do you need?" She said in her sweet voice.

"Tell me my dear, what is your name?" He asked flirtatiously sliding his hand towards hers. She pulled her hand out of his reach.

"Is that the reason you kidnapped me? To find out my name?" She snapped.

"Part of it." he said suavely.

"I don't feel comfortable telling you my name." declared Kagome. Koga smiled at her.

"Well then let me take a guess. Could it be…Kagome?" Her eyes widened in brief surprise. Maybe this was her Koga. Or maybe he had just found her ID in her wallet.

"Ok then. What's my last name?" She said positive that she had won. Koga scratched his head pretending he was deep in thought. He then pointed his index finger up in the air as if a light bulb had just lit up over his head.

"Higurashi." Her jaw dropped, but she continued to deny that this was Koga Wolfe. The sweet love of her youth.

"So? You know my name. What's your point?"

"Kagome," he reached up to brush a stray hair away from her face but she dodged him again. "It's me. Koga. Koga Wolfe." Kagome gave him a most evil glare.

"The Koga Wolfe I knew would never kidnap me!" Koga massaged his temples to help him think of a way to answer.

"Well, I guess you're wrong then." Tears of anger welled up in Kagome's eyes. She stood up about to leave when she noticed a black helicopter out the window that must have been no more than one hundred feet away. Koga noticed it too. "GET DOWN!" he yelled. And with that Koga tackled Kagome from his position across the table from her.

The sound of a machine gun firing and glass shattering could be heard. Kagome continued to weep and Koga comforted her by singing the song they had both loved as children.

"Joy to the world. All the boys and girls. Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea. Joy to you and me." It seemed to work because Kagome began to sing along. A little bit later the gun shots stopped. They could hear the helicopter getting closer. Someone came off into the house. A woman with short black hair and eyes that seemed almost red came into view. She looked at Koga and smirked.

"Hello Koga, it's been too long." She said.

"Not long enough Kagura." Said Koga getting up off of Kagome.

"Well now, who is this whore?" Kagome stiffened at the comment.

"Who are you calling a whore?" Koga growled. Kagura chuckled.

"I have a message for you Koga." Said Kagura.

"And what might that be?" Koga said while pretending to be cheerful.

"Naraku has done it again. You've been framed for another murder." Kagura let out an enormous cackle. "Well I better be going now." She blew him a kiss. Koga growled. And with that Kagura jumped back into the helicopter and her and flew away.

"I think it's time I told you the other reason why you're here." Said a solemn Koga. "I know you're an Intern at the newspaper." Koga helped her off the ground and didn't let go of her hand as he looked deeply into her eyes. "Kagome, will you tip them off to say I'm not committing these murders?"

"But I…I don't understand. How does this Naraku guy frame you for the murders?" Anger filled Koga's heart as he thought about the answer.

"He leaves a note on all his corpses. They read 'With love, Koga Wolfe.'"

Kagome's eyes Narrowed. "Why should I help a thief like you?" Koga pulled her into a firm embrace surprising her a little.

"Because this thief loves you, and no matter how much you deny it you will always love this thief too."

Kagome relaxed into the hug. What else could she do? He was right.

Inuyasha stood at the scene of the crime. Not a single clue could be found. What was even more upsetting to him was that this was the seventh time that day he had visited this alley way hoping for some sort of evidence. He saw nothing this time as well as the last. Perhaps he should call Sango to get more information.

He pulled out his cell and dialed the number.

"Hello?" answered Sango.

"Yeah hi Sango. It's Detective Inuyasha. Sorry to bother you but I need some more details on the night of the kidnapping."

"I've told you all I know. But maybe if you saw the picture I took it would give you some kind of lead."

Inuyasha groaned to himself. A picture of a man wearing a mask was going to do him no good. "Alright Sango. Bring the picture to the police station and I'll have a look."

All hope within Inuyasha was lost. How was he going to find his Kagome?

A/N Sorry it took so long for me to update. Somewhere between the writers block and the bug on it got a little complicated. Well, I hope you liked chapter 4. Love you all!
