"Inuyasha?" Inuyasha did not reply to KoKo. "Inuyasha… if you're angry at me, please forgive me-""I'm not mad at you…. I was just thinking…""About what?""About… how much we could accomplish now that you are here. I guess what I'm trying to say is you may slow us down sometimes," Kogeme gave Inuyasha a mean look at what he had just said, "But without you we would not be where we are." KoKo was flustered at what Inuyasha said. "And without you, Inuyasha, I would still be searching for someone that could help me," KoKo added. Inuyasha did not look at anybody- all he did was stare straight ahead. "Do you around what time it is, Kogeme?" KoKo questioned. Before Kogeme could answer, Shippo's stomach called for food. "I guess Shippo's stomach answered for you," Sango laughed. "Ok, then Inuyasha, Shippo, and I will go down to the lake to catch some fish for lunch," KoKo offered. "Ok, then the rest of us will set up where we will eat," Kogeme finished. The two girls smiled at each other and went to go do what they had just planned. When KoKo and the other two got down to the lake, Shippo jumped into the water and came out with a fish in his mouth. KoKo stared at him and laughed at what he looked like with a fish in his mouth. Shippo flustered and dropped the fish out of his mouth where it could not get away.After Kogeme and Sango finished setting up where they would eat, Sango questioned Miroku in an aggravated tone, "What have you done yet besides sit there, monk?" Miroku seem to not have noticed or heard Sango, because all he did was stare at the sky. "Just think of how KoKo feels, not having any parents around. Her only living family is Inuyasha and Sesshomaru," Miroku said in concern. Sango widened her eyes, also starting to feel sorry and thinking about how it must feel to not have any parents at such a young age. "Look at all the fish we caught!" Shippo proudly told Kogeme. There were five fish on Shippo's string, eight fish on KoKo's string, and only two fish on Inuyasha's string. "Inuyasha, what happened to you? You always get more fish," Kogeme said in confusion. "Well it was hard to concentrate when a certain little kid is always bragging every time he catches a fish," Inuyasha glared at Shippo. "It's not my fault… you're just jealous, because I caught more fish then you did this time!" Shippo argued with Inuyasha as Kogeme walked over and got Shippo's fish from him, so she could put it over the fire. "Oh stop it you two. You're both acting like little kids," KoKo took over. KoKo gave her fish to Kogeme and looked around. "Oh no… what happened to Koga this time?" KoKo asked herself as she searched for him. "Don't worry, he said that he was going back on his own to look for the jewel shards," Miroku suddenly came back into the normal world. KoKo looked away from the others, so they could not see her face and she fished up a disappointed look on her face."Fish is ready!" Kogeme hollered to everybody. Everyone ran up to eat, except KoKo. "Where's KoKo?" Shippo asked looking around while everyone else was eating. "Who cares? You snooze, you lose," Inuyasha said with a mouth full of fish. "I don't know… I haven't seen her since I told her that Koga left," Miroku said, again concerned for KoKo. When Miroku was about to take a bite out of his fish, a scream filled the air that sounded like KoKo. "KoKo! I heard from over here!" Miroku ran as quickly as he could as he said this. Out of nowhere, KoKo walked up to them. "Are you ok, KoKo? I thought I just heard you scream," Miroku breathlessly said. KoKo's pupils were fully black and she did not respond to Miroku's question. Everyone stood there waiting for an answer. KoKo reached out her arm at Miroku's neck and gripped her hand to choke Miroku. Miroku grabbed KoKo's arm, trying to pull her away, but he was not strong enough. "KoKo… snap out of it…" Miroku could not speak clearly.
