"Get up, it's time to leave." KoKo cracked open her eyes to see Bunzie and Boonzie shaking her. "What… why do I have to get up so early?" KoKo said as she sat up and stretched. "It's already mid- day," Bunzie and Boonzie answered at the same time. "What! How come ya'll didn't wake me up earlier?" KoKo quickly jumped up, folded her blanket, and ran outside, assuming to find Inuyasha and the others. KoKo looked around and yelled, "Inuyasha! Kagome! Shippo? Sango? Kilala?" KoKo looked around but did not find anyone but Koga, Bunzie, Boonzie, and Tiger. "Where the hell is everyone?" KoKo demanded. Nobody answered KoKo's question; Koga was folding the blanket she had thrown down when she came out; Bunzie and Boonzie were too afraid to answer without getting yelled out, so they walked away, pretending that they didn't hear her. "I can't believe that Inuyasha left without me being able to say goodbye. What if I never see him again?" Koga handed the blanket to Bunzie, walked over to KoKo, and reassured her, "Inuyasha will be fine- he told me that when he gets near the pack he will come and visit you." KoKo sighed in relief. 'I just wish that he wouldn't have left without telling me,' KoKo thought to herself. KoKo froze and Koga quickly questioned, "What is it?" KoKo sniffed into the air and smelt blood of an animal. KoKo quickly followed the scent of the blood and found a coyote lying on the ground. "Koga!" KoKo called. Koga ran up to KoKo and saw the little coyote and said, "It only looks about eight months old." KoKo scooped it up and carried it back to the abandoned hut. "I have to cover up the cut on its leg," KoKo said as she looked for something to use as a bandage. When she could not find anything to use as a bandage, she tore her left shirt- sleeve off and gently wrapped it around the young coyote's leg. "That should hold for now," KoKo said as she checked the coyote for any other injuries. "What happened?" KoKo asked the coyote (KoKo has the ability to speak to any dog related animals). KoKo closely listened to the coyote and told Koga, "She says that a demon came and attacked the other coyotes she was traveling with, and she got separated form her parents." KoKo turned to the coyote and promised, "I will help you find your parents." - Koga, KoKo, Bunzie, and Boonzie traveled high and low for any coyotes but did not find any. "Oh look, a village!" KoKo excitedly announced as she held the coyote like a baby. KoKo walked a little faster as she came upon the village, looking for anyone that could help her. When KoKo came upon a young man that was watching her, she quickly asked, "Have you seen a pack of coyotes around?" He shook his head no and offered, "But I can offer you a place to stay for the night." 'This guy is as bad as Miroku,' KoKo thought to herself as she blushed. "Oh yeah, can my fiancé and friends stay the night, too?" KoKo quickly asked before the monk got any ideas. The monk was disappointed but said, "Sure." - The hut that KoKo and the others thought they were going to was not a hut; it was a large mansion that looked fifty feet tall. "Wow," KoKo said in aw. "This must have taken a very long time to get built," KoKo added. "Yes, it was built by my ancestors fifty years ago," the monk said. KoKo stared at the monk and asked herself, 'Why does everything add up to fifty years ago?' - "This is where you will be staying," the monk said as he showed KoKo one room out of the twenty- bedroom mansion. "I'm sorry, I never got your name," KoKo said before he left to show the others their room. "I'm Sheko, it's short for Shekotesadowa." KoKo was amazed at the long and confusing name. "It means my love will protect the true love, sunshine, and rain," Sheko added. KoKo bowed and thanked Sheko, "I have much thanks to you for letting us stay here." With this everyone bowed except for Koga. "Koga," KoKo mumbled. KoKo put her hand on Koga's back and pushed down, forcing him to bow and give thanks. Sheko walked off to show everyone else his or her rooms but before Koga followed, KoKo pulled him back and said without anyone else hearing her, "I can't believe you didn't thank him!" Koga pulled back and stubbornly said, "I don't have to thank no human for letting me stay in a dump like this." - "Koga!" KoKo got on her Tipp toes, punched Koga on the head, and gave him a knot that he now rubbed constantly. Inuyasha growled and caught up with the others, so he could get a good room.
