Chapter Nine

~Still in Feudal Japan~

"Jewel shards..." Kagome suddenly spoke. Inuyasha stood up. "Coming fast."

Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha all whispered one name as the wolf youkai came in; tornado disappearing. "Koga"

"Yo!" he said, his blue eyes landing on Kagome. Koga walked over to her, ignoring the confused glance that the Spirit Detectives were giving him. He took the school girls hand.

*~*~*~

'Where is he?!' she thought. "I am faster then him! I should've caught up with him by now!' She picked up her speed. "Damn you Koga! I never should've given you that much of a head start!"

Her feet hit tree limbs as she made her way through the forest. 'His scent is still strong.' a wide smile grew on her face. 'I WILL catch him this time. I don't spy for nothing!'

She came across a clearing at the far end of the forest. The smell here was alluring. She quietly walked up, hoping that what ever was in the pot above the fire would hide her scent well. She saw ten different people, 'well, i guess you could call a couple of them people...' she thought, looking at the ones asleep in the trees. Her gaze fell back on the wolf youkai ahead of her.

*~*~

"Koga, what the hell are you doing here, you bastard?" Inuyasha didn't like guests while he was eating.

"I'm here to see my woman. Why does it matter to you? I though you chose, oh...what's-her-face." Koga questioned. 'He doesn't STILL want Kagome, does he?'

Inuyasha turned his head. "Hmph. I did choose Kikyo, but you disrupted our meal, you ass."

"Shut up, dog turd," Koga scoffed. "I can see my woman any time i want."

The audience all exchanged looks. Some of amusement at hearing the insults, others in worry for what might ensue if this continued.

"Don't you have a den to look after, Koga?" Miroku didn't want an all out war to happen, so he did the only thing he could think of: interrupted the bickering.

"Yeah, but I left someone in charge. They should be good for a little bit."

"Is it wise to leave another in charge of the den?" Sango asked, taking the hint from Miroku. 'The sooner Koga leaves, the sooner we can rest.'

"Oh, don't ya worry. They might not be as strong as me, but they will be able to handle-"

"KOGA!!!!" and angry scream rippled through the campsite.
