"I am completely exhausted," KoKo complained as she stretched, "I just have to take a break; I didn't sleep all last night." Koga sighed and finally stopped to let KoKo take a break, "You deserve it anyways for saving me from the demon and defeating it." KoKo dropped on her back onto the grass. "This is the greenest grass that I have ever seen since I have been traveling," KoKo quietly said as she pulled a piece out of the ground. 'Mom…. I have to find Naraku soon, or I might not find him…. I can't give up! I will find Naraku, and I will kill him!' KoKo kept promising herself in her head with enthusiasm. KoKo yawned as she got comfortable in the grass and fell asleep. - KoKo's dream- "Naraku…" KoKo smirked. "So you have finally decided to come out of your hiding spot." KoKo watched Naraku as he was trapped in a corner. "I have finally got you," KoKo kept mumbling as she drew her sword in front of her and fiercely swung. Naraku dissolved and his baboon disguise fell to the ground. 'So I have finally killed Naraku….' "Naraku is dead! I killed Naraku!"- End of dream"KoKo…KoKo." KoKo opened her eyes to see Koga standing above her. "Koga, I killed him… I killed Naraku," KoKo excitedly said as she quickly sat up. Koga had a worried and confused look on his face. "Oh… it was only a dream…." KoKo stood up. "Well we should get going then," KoKo sighed. KoKo turned to see that Bunzie and Boonzie were still asleep, so she walked over to them, transformed into a wolf that they have seen her like that yet, and howled into their ears. The two clumsy wolves scrambled to get up and saw KoKo like a wolf, but they did not know that it was KoKo. "What are you doing here, wolf?" Bunzie demandingly questioned. Koga quickly turned to the wolf KoKo and thought to himself, 'She smells like KoKo… can that be?' Koga's eyes widened as he questioned the wolf, "KoKo?" KoKo turned to Koga and was glad that he had recognized her scent. A cloud surrounded KoKo as she transformed back into her wolf demon form and smiled at Koga. Bunzie and Boonzie were shocked that the wolf they had just insulted was their alpha female leader, KoKo. "Lady KoKo! We did not know it was you!" they both said at the same time. "Koga… there is something that I have not told you: I can transform into a wolf, a dog, and a giant dog demon. When I transform into a giant wolf demon, I have a moon on my forehead like Sesshomaru. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before…. It's just that I was afraid that you were going to leave me…." Koga walked over to KoKo, picked up her hands, and romantically told her, "I would never leave you because of something like that; you know that I love you too much to do that." KoKo blushed in the sunlight and in the far back Bunzie whispered to Boonzie, "I think that Koga might mean it; I have never seen him so serious before." - "What are you two whispering about?" KoKo said in a scary tone. Bunzie and Boonzie hid behind Koga. KoKo started to laugh and said, "I was just kidding!" KoKo kept laughing as they kept on walking. - They were all now at the wolf pack territory again; KoKo was relieved that she could be somewhere where she can recognize scents. 'It smells like me here but it does not smell like Inuyasha here….' KoKo tried to stay strong, but she could not manage that Inuyasha was out there and might be in danger with his life. The barrier that KoKo had put up was now broken, and KoKo burst into tears; no one could see her, because she was high up in a tree, clear from all wolves. Tears rolled down KoKo's cheeks like a river as she kept thinking, 'Inuyasha…. I can't bear to be away from my closest living, blood- related family that I have. If anything happens to you, I don't know what I would do…I would not be able to go on with my life…I would not be able do defeat Naraku…I would not be able to live without you, and Kagome.' More tears came quicker from KoKo's eyes as horrible figures of Inuyasha's death popped into her head like an internet that could not control pop ups. "No! I will not let death get the best of me! Nothing will happen to you, Inuyasha. You have believed in me with the moth demon, and now I will believe in you. Like you said, you will not give up easily before having your revenge; I also know that you will not leave Kagome. You may not admit that, but I know it," KoKo said to herself. KoKo calmed down a bit, but she was still crying. KoKo started humming Ai no Uta out loud then started singing it out loud in Japanese. (While reading the next part of the story, first go to www.fluffysgurl. and click on the song Ai no Uta. I do not own this website or anything on it, but it is a great website, and you really should listen to that song while you read the next part of this chapter.) When KoKo finished singing the song, she started thinking into the past when she was a very young child. - Flashback- KoKo was running around with Blue and was laughing like a very happy little kid should. "Alright, KoKo, it's time for bed."- "Aw but mommy. I'm not even tired." - "But you need your rest, so you can have strength for your traveling tomorrow." - "Mommy, why are we leaving our land tomorrow? Can't we just stay here?"- "No KoKo, it's getting too dangerous here; demons are coming uncontrollably and the pack can not keep it up with all the demons. Some of our pack have been killed by demons and we have to move back to the northern mountains where it's safe." The young KoKo looked up at her mother with a not understanding look and cuddled up next to her. KoKo's mother brushed the bangs from the young child's face and started to sing Ai no Uta to her. The little KoKo quickly fell asleep from the lullaby. – End flashback"Mother, I was always remember the lullaby that you sang to me when I was young and when my baby is born, I will sing it to my baby every night in memory of you," KoKo said as she looked up at the clear, blue sky.
