"How's your ankle?"Koga asked handing Kagome a cup of tea that night.

"Better,"Kagome said softly. She tightened her grip of the blanket that hugged around her as she looked at the stone floor, thinking about InuYasha.

Koga looked at the saddened teenager and sat next to her.

"Are you okay?"Koga asked. Kagome lowered her head a bit more hiding the tears that streamed down her face."Kagome?"

"He just ran away...from me. Like...I was some monster...,"Kagome said weakly as she began to cry."He hates me." Koga didn't know what to say, but to comfort her.

He scooted closer to her and put his arm around her and pulled her into an embrace stroking her back.

"It's okay, Kagome,"Koga said softly. Kagome began to lose all control and began to cry on his shoulder.

Of course another day had came,

"Ohayou, Koga,"Kagome said as she walked outside stretching in the warm light of the sun.

"Ohayou. Did you sleep well?"Koga asked as he began to do his morning stretch. Kagome smiled as she walked over to him.

As Koga stretched he noticed Kagome had lost her balance and began to fall forward. "I got ya!"Koga said catching her. Koga stood Kagome up making sure that she was okay."Your ankle still needs to rest,"Koga stated.

"Its fine. Don't worry about me,"Kagome said.

"How can I not?"Koga smirked. Kagome hid her face as she blushed lightly.

"Koga! Theres a demon on our territory! We need your help now!"said one of Koga's men.

"Stay here, Kagome,"Koga said.

"No. I'm coming with you!"Kagome said as she grabbed her bow and arrows.

"No. I'm not letting you! Your ankle-"

"I told you not to worry about it!"Kagome said sternly. Koga didn't say anything and just picked her up.

They then dissappeared in a small twister on there way to the demon.

Koga and Kagome had arrived with the rest of the wolf tribe.

"Be careful okay?"Koga said to Kagome. Kagome nodded and grabbed out an arrow.

Koga zoomed past Kagome as he started to attack the giant demon.

Kagome aimed the arrow at the demon.

The demon was about 20 meters high. It was in the shape of a spider, but eyes circled around the base of the legs.

"Take this!"Kagome yelled as she let go of the arrow which skidded its way to the demon surrounded by a streaming light.

It was a perfect hit as the arrow went through three of the demon's legs.

The demon roared in pain as it was looking for the person who shot it's legs. It then saw Kagome standing there aiming another arrow at it.

But the demon swung one of his legs hitting Kagome. It seemed that she was flying since she was so high up.

As she fell Kagome opened her eyes slightly. She felt a pair of strong arms hold her close. She could see that the sleeves were long and red.

"Inu...Yasha...,"Kagome weakly said as she closed her eyes.

The hanyou layed Kagome on the ground safely as he ran back into the forest.

"Kagome!"a familiar voice rung. Kagome opened her eyes and sat up. She saw a young fox demon. His height was only to her waist. The fox demon ran to Kagome's side.

"Sh-Shippo?"Kagome asked. The young fox demon nodded.

"Are you alright?"Shippo asked worriedly.

"Yeah,"she replied."What're you doing here?"

"Lady Kaede and I heard that the wolf tribe had some trouble so we went to find out what it was all about,"Shippo answered.

"Kagome!"another familiar voice said. Kagome looked ahead of her as she saw an old lady run as fast as her legs could take her.

"Lady Kaede..,"Kagome said softly. The old lady knelt to her side.

"Are you alright?"she asked checking to see if she was okay.

"Where's...InuYasha?"Kagome asked looking around.

"So that's who saved you!"Shippo said."Why'd he go?"

"I...don't know. That's why I'm here to find out,"Kagome answered.

"What're you-" Shippo was cut short as they heard the demon roar in extreme pain. The three watched as the demon fell to the ground infront of their eyes.

"Heh. That was easy,"Koga said when he reached to Kagome. Kagome smiled."We better get you back to the cave. You could of been seriously hurt if that mutt wasn't here. Speaking of that mutt where is he?"Koga tilted his chin up sniffing the air."I can barely smell him, but I can still catch him!"Koga said as a small twister formed around him, he was out of sight in a few moments.

Shippo, Kaeda, Kagome, and the rest of the wolf tribe had arrived back to their territory.

"So that's why you came back after a whole year,"Shippo said munching on an apple after hearing Kagome's story,"Demo why?"he asked.

"I couldn't handle all the guilt that was in me. The pain seemed to get bigger as days went by,"Kagome said clenching her fists against her chest.

"Well, your alright, Kagome. No serious injuries, but you must be careful. If InuYasha wasn't there then you could have suffered life threatening injuries or even killed, since you were so high up,"Lady Kaeda said strickly. Kagome smiled as she rolled her eyes.

Suddenly, a wind was in emerge and there was Koga looking a bit ticked.

"Damn, mutt. I lost his scent,"Koga said.

"You didn't have to, Koga,"Kagome said.

"No. That mutt keeps getting more stubborn everytime I run into him."Koga closed his eyes in annoyance.

"How's Sango, Miroku, and Kirara?"Shippo asked. Kaogme turned to Shippo.

"They're fine. Did you know Sango and Miroku are married?"Kagome said. Shippo dropped his apple.

"What! They didn't even invite me!"Shippo said.

"Well they couldn't find you. They're really worried about you,"Kagome said. Shippo picked up his apple and cleaned it with the sleeve of his shirt.

"You think so?"he asked. Kagome nodded.

"Well...maybe I could go visit them...,"Shippo said in thought.

"They'd like that alot."

As a few hours past by, Kagome had grabbed her things and headed out of the cave.

"Where're you going, Kagome?"Shippo asked.

"I'm going back to search for InuYasha,"Kagome said.

"I'll join you!"Shippo excitedly said.

"Iie. I must do this on my own,"Kagome stated.

"Kagome, it's way too dangerous,"Lady Kaeda said. Kagome just simply waved it off.

"I'll be fine! Don't worry,"Kagome relaxingly said having no doubt in her mind.

Koga appeared and looked suspicious.

"Where are you headed to?"he asked her.

"I'm going back to search for InuYasha,"Kagome said. Koga just sighed.

"Your probably in no-"

"I'm going wether you like it or not,"Kagome interrupted Koga. Koga didn't say anything.

"Well I'm off!"Kagome said as she walked back into the deep woods.
