Sorry for the wait. I was suffering from writers block then, I had to go to my dad's. My dad took me to my uncles wedding, so I couldn't get anything written, and I have semester tests coming up. I'm sorry to those of you who care.
Review/s
Abnormally cool: thanks for the suggestions, part of that, is in this chappie, I think, either this or next chapter. I'll save the rest of that for future reference. Thanks again.
Sato: Well, I don't have anything to say. Do you?
looks to Nagi
Nagi: You the queen of sarcasm have nothing to say.
Sato: I'll have you know you've been worse than me about this
Nagi: …Umm…
Sato: Thought so. sighs On with the story then.
Disclaimer: Don't own Inuyasha or anyone else, except for Kiori. I own her, her soul her emotions, her personality…Ok I'm over doing it now.

What I do for YouEnter Kouga
Kiori landed quietly in the courtyard, Kagome moments later. They began to walk towards the Naraku's manor. Kane (a/n the guy Kio was talking to earlier) and Kohaku had been training until they noticed their arrival. Both inched as far away from Kagome and Kio as humanly possible. Both had such dark expressions on their faces, the devil would have run in fear.
They were headed to Naraku's chambers now. "Kohaku?" Kane said shortly after the girls had passed. "Yes, Kane." Kohaku responded. "Go get Kagura and the others, then come to the infirmary." They all met a few minutes later at the designated point.
"What the hell is going on?" Kagura demanded
"Shut up, I'm trying to hear." Kane ordered/told
He then began to relate what was being said in Naraku's main chamber.
Kagome and Kiori rudely stomped up to Naraku's shoji screen door, neither bothering to bow. (a/n he just called them off Kikyo, You'd be pissed to) "Enter." he ordered coldly. They walked in, and Kio roughly slid the shoji screen back into place.
There was silence, but that only lasted for a moment. "Why the hell did you call us off!?!" Kiori shouted seeing as no one else was going to talk anytime soon.
Naraku glared up at Kiori (a/n he is sitting on a pillow type thing). "Watch your tongue. Slave." He said coldly.
Kiori herself seemed to turn to ice, she was cold and rigid, and she looked ready to kill. Kagome knew she wouldn't survive a fight against Naraku, or they would have revolted a long time ago.
"Kagome looked over to Naraku, "Why?" Kagome asked. "You've said again and again that she's a bitch, a whore, so on and so forth, you hate her, why won't you let us kill her?"
Naraku looked to her "She has not finished her purpose yet." He turned away as if that was enough. Kagome wasn't near satisfied with that answer, but she noticed Kiori's sent changing slightly.
"Are we dismissed, Master." She asked darkly. "Leave me." Kagome nodded and lightly pulled Kiori out of the room. As they walked out Kagome slammed the shoji in place and stalked off with Kiori in tow.
Kagome searched for the others' scents. She found them and followed them to the infirmary. As she entered everyone noticed the change in the full inu demon. "Kio…" Kohaku started to say but Kiori cut him off with a growl.
Kagome looked to Kane, who was also a full Inu demon. He nodded to her and she moved aside to give him a clear view of Kiori. "Kiori." He said his voice ringing with authority. Kiori growled in response. He barked then growled.
They continued like that for minute, barking and growling. Kagome finally noticed Kiori's were tinting red.
Kane grabbed her arm and led her out into the woods. Kagome's eyes clouded with confusion, Kohaku noticed and answered the unspoken question, "She was about to turn." "To what?" Kagome asked.
Kohaku looked back up at her, "Her demonic form."
When they entered the woods Kane let go of Kiori. She simply glared at him.
You could kill them if you change Kane growled out
Not my problem The 'slightly' off Kiori growled
We'll get our revenge, but you must be patient Kane barked
I don't care; I'll kill him now she yelled, and she was almost over the edge now, just inches away from turning into her dog form. Kane knew that in her current condition none of them would survive.
She already had lost control and was being driven by instinct now. She had only come with him because she recognized his scent, and the only male, besides Kohaku, in their group; her demon instincts recognized him as the alpha male.
He didn't know what had sent her over the edge; she'd been extremely temperamental the last few days. She'd also been having dreams that know one could wake her from. He believed that it was because her memories were awakening, but that still didn't explain why she was turning now.
Her eyes were almost solid crimson. He didn't have time to try to coax her down. Suddenly she brought out her claws and attacked, he shifted his footing to dodge her. She attacked two more times, he dodged the first, and the second time he moved aside and in one fluid movement he caught both her hands and pinned them to a tree, being held by one of his. Kiori struggled in his grasp. But immediately stopped when she felt his lips on hers.
She just stood there for a moment and finally let her eyes drift closed. Kane still held her to the tree, he knew she would kill him when she awoke, but he couldn't bring himself to pull away. Then to his complete shock, he felt her kiss him back.
He let go of her wrists, and dropped his hands down to her waist. He gently pulled away and looked her in the eyes.
Kiori lifted her hand to the side of his face. She held him there as she pushed up, and kissed him again.
Inuyasha stood glaring at a fuming wolf demon. Kouga stood there, his arms and legs wrapped in bandages.
"How the hell could you let my woman be captured, you stupid dog." Kouga yelled.
OK at this point Sesshoumaru was peeved. This wolf barges in like he own the stars, the sky and the dirt we lowly demons walked on.
------------------------------$ A little while ago$-----------------------------------------
Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru, who had been leading the group suddenly stopped in mid step. Inuyasha began to growl and Sesshoumaru just got a sour look. "What's wrong?" Sango asked tensing in preparation for a battle.
"Kouga" Inuyasha growled. Said demon dropped from an overhanging cliff above them. He dropped about five feet from Inuyasha.
He wasted no time in attacking the hanyou.
Miroku shook his head at the demon's stupidity, as Inuyasha simply moved aside. He kept on attacking until Inuyasha finally punched him in the stomach, and Kouga flew back about six feet. Miroku looked over at Sango and noticed her sweat drop.
"Houshi-sama, Is it just me or does he get dumber every time we see him." Miroku raised a brow. Not sure what the tajiya was talking about. Sango didn't notice though, she was watching Inuyasha and Kouga. Miroku followed her gaze and face faulted. He just now realized how hurt Kouga was.
$Present time$
"Mind your place, lowlife." Sesshoumaru said coldly.
Kouga snorted, "Watch yours mutt. I am prince of the brown wolf tribe."
Sesshoumaru gave him a dull look
"And I am the lord of the western lands. And I know very well who you are, your brother has worked for our family since before Inuyasha was born."
Kouga snorted again in disbelief, he began to say some thing when Sesshoumaru grabbed him by the throat. "You are by far one of the most disgusting wolf I have ever met." Kouga began to wriggle out of Sesshoumaru's grasp.
The dog lord simply tightened his grip. "You have already asked a demon to be your mate. Even so you still continue to claim the miko as yours."
"I'm not mated and I never have asked any demon." Kouga choked out, which made Sesshoumaru realize he wasn't squeezing tight enough.
"Apparently, your skull isn't as thick as I initially thought. One knock on the head and you forget every thing she did for you." Sesshoumaru loosened his grasp on the wolf, only enough for him to breathe. Kouga still managed to ask a question.
"Who are you talking about?" He asked, confused but now he truly wanted to know.
Sesshoumaru shook his head in disgust, "The same one who heals your wounds, and stays by your side no matter how many times you've hurt her."
At this point he wasn't just venting out his feelings against Kouga. It was about his brother as well. Both were idiots.
"Ayame." Kouga said after a moment, realization dawning on him. (A/n About time, huh) Sesshoumaru knew very well how Ayame felt. After the war he had kept a pretty good check on his generals.
He had spoken to Ayame on a number of occasions. Kouga had been injured in the last battle of the war; he had forgotten his developed feelings for Ayame. He had even forgotten asking her to be his mate.
Sesshoumaru could sense Inuyasha quieting the others and consoling Rin who had never seen him go after another demon. He had kept her as for away from the battles as he could.
"Kouga's an not the smartest person, and the only way we can get him to understand that he's hurt miss Ayame's feelings is by forcing it into him. Fluffy-sama,"
Sesshoumaru swore he would kill the little hanyou "is only doing this so Kouga will listen." Inuyasha told the little girl, being careful not to offend her sense of right and wrong. Rin was very picky about that.
Sesshoumaru finally released Kouga who just sat there stupidly. When he finally gained enough bearing he stood up. "Kouga why don't you sit down and we'll explain how we lost Kagome." Miroku said, obviously not choosing his words carefully, but the wolf was still slightly dazed so Miroku took advantage of it.
Miroku led Kouga to a clearing and sat him down and related how they heard Kagome's scream and found her with Naraku. The second he started speaking he had Kouga's attention. "Now Kouga why don't you tell us what happened to you." Sango said Kouga nodded and began his story.
A couple of days ago
Kouga sensed something coming. He looked to the sky and scented the air. It only took him a moment to catch the scents. Two Inu demons and some of Naraku's incarnation, he scented the air again. Yes it was Kagura. But the two inu's were also female. He shook it off and tensed for battle.
Moment's later Kagura's feather came into view. One of the Inu's dropped down a few yards from him, this one smelt similar to Inuyasha but was a full demon, then a half-demon inu dropped down next to her, Kagura followed suit. He examined the demons carefully.
The hanyou looked familiar, then it clicked and he tested her scent again. Yes it was Kagome. But she was a hanyou. What had that stupid mutt done to his women? But then why would she be with Kagura and this other demon. It just didn't make sense. "It's been along time Kouga." Kagura said. "Not long enough." Kouga growled.
"Now that's rude." Kagura said with a smirk. "I think it's time to teach the wolf some manners. Don't you think girls?" She asked looking over at the girls who were already flexing their claws. The rest of Kouga's pack had caught Kagura's scent and were now crowded behind their leader.
"Oh how rude of us, I really must introduce you to my new little friends." Kagura gestured with her fan towards Kiori and Kagome and introduced them. Pointing each out individually. "Pleasure." Kiori spoke up. "Can we start the party now." Kagome asked exasperated.
"Not quite." Kagura said and she raised her fan. The wolves took this as a challenge and began to prepare to attack. "Now we can start," Kiori said. And she launched slicing at demons left and right. Kagome a little ways off doing the same. Kagura stood in the background watching the girls' progress she smiled in satisfaction.
They had both been well trained. Kouga's wolves didn't stand a chance. That is until Ayame showed up, and she brought a few friends willing to help. She came with two white wolves, the strongest type of wolf demon. The Inu's were quickly fought off.
When they fled the white wolves explained that the full inu was princess of the western lands. They had been leaving from the place where they were supposed to meet. The meeting had been planned months ago.
There was no reason for her not to be there. She had been dealing with a lot of the formal work that the lord should have attended to, though nobody minded. Kiori was a good politician and knew what she was doing.
As they entered the area near Kouga's tribe they caught scent of blood, and the princess. They quickly rushed to the scene thinking the princess was harmed. They were all very protective of the children of the western lands.
Their father was a favorite to the higher-ranking wolves. The rest hated him and he hated them. His children were no different. Another demon walked near them and scented and her face blanched. Before she could run the older demons asked her what tribe lived in this area.
"Kouga." She answered her voice trembling. "The brown wolf tribe." They nodded and she took off, they quickly followed. It wasn't exactly what they had expected to see. Kiori was attacking and beating the crap out of the wolves with another black inu hanyou.
Back to the gumi
Kouga looked up at the others when he finished his tale. "If she's the princess of the western lands and you the lord how in the seven hells are you related."
Sesshoumaru sighed. "She is my sister." He answered, "And I would like to point out that this means Inuyasha the prince of the western lands therefore you had best learn to keep your mouth shut." Kouga grimaced.
Then he sighed "Things have gotten a lot worse huh." He said. All of them looked at each other gravely. "In the morning, return to the wolf leaders. We will all meet at the base of the mountain range to the north." Sesshoumaru said and Kouga simply nodded.
Every one settled down for the night knowing that tomorrow was going to be interesting. They were going to meet the leading race of wolves. Oh yes this adventure just kept throwing them more twist.
Again I'm sorry for the long update. This is the chapter repost. The first time I updated I was in a rush and it was absolutely awful. No Kikyo torturing. Now anyway. I need ideas.
Stay tuned for next chapter
