Chapter 15

"Curse all these obstacles." Koga exclaimed. No one knew this but, when he was fighting Inuyasha and someone attacked them in the middle of the fight, his jewel shards had been taken. The wounds from the jewel shards being taken out almost healed all the way a second after so he had no proof of them being taken out except for Kagome's sight of jewel shards. He couldn't let anyone, especially Inuyasha know this. He had to try to keep up; Inuyasha would make it to Kagome first if he had the right path. Koga ducked, jumped, rolled, leaped and stopped at a dead end. Koga cursed the pathway and lay back on the dead end wall. He was tired and needed to rest for a while.

'Now how am I supposed to get to Kagome before that dog turd?' He thought. Koga was about to stand up when the wall he was leaning on twisted and twirled into another room.

"Yes! I did have the right path!" Koga celebrated but stopped when he noticed how many doors there were. He sniffed the air but only could smell Naraku's foul stench. He couldn't smell her but he knew she was in one of the rooms, he could feel it. "Damn that Naraku for trying to keep me away from Kagome." He spat. He started opening doors.

Inuyasha appeared at the dead end of the path.

"Oh damn it all! Koga did have the right path! He probably knew which path it was and took that one! When I find him I'll kill him!" Inuyasha thrusted the Tetsusaiga into the rock of the dead end. Suddenly the wall moved back and to the left. Inuyasha took the Tetsusaiga out of the door and looked down the long corridor. There were lots of doors leading to rooms.

"Yes! I did have the right path! In your face Koga!" He exclaimed and ran in, the path sealing behind him. He sniffed the air but all he smelt was the foul smell of Naraku. "Damn, he's trying to throw me off her scent." Inuyasha noticed. He listened with his ears; he didn't hear anything but the deafening sound of silence ringing in his ears. "This can not be happening. I know she's here somewhere. I just know she is." He said talking to himself. He went on opening doors all the way down the corridor until he heard a noise.

"Damn, do I have to search all the rooms till I find her?!" It was Koga.

Inuyasha turned the corner to stand in front of Koga. Koga looked up.

"You!" He exclaimed.

"How did you get here?" Inuyasha asked confused.

"I chose the right path."

"Unless they were both the right path, there is no way you're-" Inuyasha stopped talking.

"They were both the right paths!" They yelled angrily.

"Okay, well since you've been here longer than me, obviously, you got any idea which room she's in?" He asked.

"If I did, I'd be in her room already, plus I wouldn't tell you, dog turd."

"True. I guess that means its every man for himself huh?"

"There was only one I didn't check in this hall." Koga said.

"There was only one I didn't check in the other hall." Inuyasha said.

"Well they can't both be right." Koga pointed out.

"Exactly what I'm thinking." Inuyasha replied. They stared at each other for a while and then they passed each other to run to the other's last door. They tried to open the doors but they wouldn't open.

"Curse this door!"

"Same here!"

"Hey, what's that noise?" Kagome asked. She looked around the room. The noise seemed to be coming from outside the room. She looked at the door and walked up to it. She pressed her ear lightly against it. "Inuyasha?" She asked.

"Kagome? Is that you?!" He exclaimed.

"Inuyasha! It is you!" Kagome declared.

"Duh! Who else would it be?" He said thrusting the Tetsusaiga in the door. It did no good.

"It could have been Koga!" She yelled.

"Yeah, I'm over here Kagome!" He yelled from behind. She didn't see him.

"Koga? Where are you?" She asked.

"I'm right near this door." He answered. Kagome looked baffled.

"What door?" She asked.

"This door!" He hit the door he claimed to see with something.

"Koga, sorry to disappoint you, but there's no door there."

"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!" He exclaimed. At that moment Inuyasha and Koga busted into the room. Inuyasha came through the door and Koga through a concealed wall in the door.

"Kagome are you alright?!" Inuyasha ran over to her. Koga kicked him out of the way.

"Dog turd, haven't I told you to stay away from my Kagome?"

Inuyasha looked up from the ground. "You're Kagome?! When the hell did that happen?!" A shriek escaped his mouth. Koga was kissing her on the cheek. Kagome's eyes were wide open. Inuyasha was too stunned to do anything. Koga backed away from Kagome just enough so that he could look in her eyes and touch her soft lips with his. He didn't succeed. Inuyasha pulled his hair and slammed him into a wall.

Kikyo and her son were still in the room but they had just woken up from the slam against the wall. Kikyo blinked her eyes a couple of times and then sat up staring at the new visitors in the room. Haku shifted a little when Kikyo moved. He was sleeping on her lap. He blinked, rubbed his eyes and then yawned. He curled back up into a ball and went back to sleep, not even noticing the strangers in the room.

"So, they finally got here, huh?"

"Yeah, but of course, they always have to fight for no reason." Kagome sighed.

"No reason? We are fighting over you my lovely Kag-" Koga started saying.

"Shut up Koga! Not another word!" Inuyasha stomped on him to make him stop talking. They got into a canine fight.

"You're just shy! It doesn't matter 'cause she's mine!" Koga yelled pulling Inuyasha's hair.

"You so wish!" Inuyasha punched him. "Since when is she yours?!"

"Well she's not either of yours now. She's mine." Miroku appeared out of nowhere holding Kagome's right hand. "As it was meant to be."

A scary Sango appeared behind Miroku along with the now lighting glaring canines. He smiled and looked behind him.

"Heh heh. Of course I was just kidding." He tried to cover up.

"Sure! Of course, just kidding! Just like we're just kidding too!" They said in unison. They chased Miroku around the room for a bit while Kikyo picked up Haku and Kagome and her just stared.
