"KOGA!" KoKo ran towards her true lover's body that was lying on the ground with an arrow through his shoulder where it barely missed his heart. KoKo pulled the arrow out of Koga's shoulder, and Koga growled from the sting of the arrow. "What happened?" KoKo said, urgent to know. Koga mumbled words that KoKo could not understand. KoKo sat there, trying to understand what Koga was saying, and Koga finally picked up his arm and pointed at something behind KoKo. KoKo slowly turned her head to see her so- called mother holding a bow and arrow in her hands, now aiming an arrow at KoKo's heart. "Ha, your little boy friend here tried getting between me and killing you, so I tried to call him; he got lucky this time but if he tries getting in the way again he won't be so lucky." The woman's cold voice rang through the air. "You're not my mother! You're just a replica of my mother, you WINCH!" KoKo furiously screamed. KoKo was so angry that she didn't even think about crying, all she thought about was getting rid of the woman that forged her mother's looks. "How DARE you try to make me think that you were my mother! You will pay for this!" KoKo drew her sword out and whispered to her sword, "I am counting on you… HIYA!" KoKo furiously swung her sword at the demon and fire flew out of the Tetsaga. Koga's eyes widened as he struggled to get up. "No!" the demon screamed. "I will tell you, your mother is a half demon! A priestess and a wolf!" the demon said before her body burned to death. "What?" KoKo mumbled as she fell to the ground, sword still in her right hand. 'My mother…was a half demon…like me? That means….' - "KoKo," Koga struggled to say as his body bled more and more as he struggled to walk. "Koga!" KoKo caught Koga in her arms as he fell. "You must lay down to stop the blood from bleeding quickly." KoKo turned to the pack and ordered, "Well somebody get some water from the creak!" KoKo turned back to Koga and whispered, "Just hold on, Koga." - Inuyasha and the others- "Inuyasha…" Kagome stopped dead in her tracks. "What's wrong, Kagome?" Sango questioned. Inuyasha sniffed into the air and said in a worried voice, "I smell blood…wolf blood." Sango and Miroku jumped on Kilala while Kagome and Shippo jumped on Tiger; Inuyasha ran in front, leading the way to where he smelt blood. - KoKo and the wolf pack- KoKo was now crying over Koga, still waiting for water. "Just hold on, Koga. Please don't stop trying…please. I can't lose you…you were right…I should have listened to you." - "Shut up," Koga whispered. KoKo looked up at Koga. "Don't speak as if it was your fault…I shouldn't have yelled at you." - "No…it was my fault. If I didn't run off like that, none of this would have happened…"- "Shut up!" Koga was now yelling. "It is not your fault!" Tears were rolling down KoKo's face as she whispered, "But you're in so much pain." - "I only feel pain when I see you cry like that," Koga was now whispering. Koga lifted his arm and stroked his hand across KoKo's face, wiping away the tears. "Oh, Koga," KoKo whispered with shame. KoKo turned away, so Koga could not see her cry even harder. 'It is all my fault that Koga is like this,' KoKo kept blaming herself. 'If he dies, then I will kill myself as well.'- "KoKo!" KoKo turned to hear an unfamiliar voice that she had not heard in quite a while. "INUYASHA!" KoKo tossed her arms around Inuyasha and cried her hardest ever. "You have to help Koga! PLEASE!" KoKo kept yelling. The wolves and wolf demons came back with five buckets of water and set them in front of Koga's motionless body. KoKo ran over, picked up one of the buckets, and started to slowly dump water over his wound. "Just hang in there, Koga," KoKo whispered. - Kagome jumped off of Tiger and ran over to Koga with her First Aid Kit. "You have to help him, Kagome. Please. Whatever it takes," KoKo pleaded. Kagome nodded, opened her First Aid Kit, and pulled out some bandages and medicine. KoKo pulled down Koga's sleeve and let Kagome pour some Hydro Peroxide on his wound to get rid of the germs. When Kagome was finished with the first part, she wiped up the dry blood and started wrapping a long bandage around his shoulder. - Koga was now asleep in his pile of hay while Inuyasha and the others were sitting on the hill high above from him. "Oh, Inuyasha…it's all my fault he's like this…" Inuyasha looked at KoKo, waiting for an explanation. KoKo started telling the whole story about the intruder that was trying to be her mother and how KoKo was half dog, part wolf, and part priestess. "What! You mean that you are a priestess!" Inuyasha yelled. "Only part; my mother was a half demon like me, only she was half wolf and half priestess," KoKo said, trying to calm Inuyasha down. "Please, Inuyasha. You have to understand that this is all new to me, too," KoKo cried out to Inuyasha before he left. Inuyasha stopped, back still facing towards the others, and walked off again. "This is all my fault; I shouldn't have told him yet. I should have let him calm down first," KoKo kept crying. Kagome walked over to KoKo, sat next to her, and looked at her, "It is not your fault…it's just that Inuyasha can't stand having to take in stuff like that so quickly. Don't worry, he will get used to it." Sango walked over, sat on KoKo's other side, and put her head down, "I know how you fell; I know how Inuyasha feels. Having to take in stuff that you don't want to believe." Sango picked her head back up and reassured, "But he is just afraid for your safety; he doesn't wants you to get hurt." Miroku and Shippo stood behind the girls and Miroku whispered to Shippo, "Do you have any idea how they feel right now?" Shippo cupped his hands over his mouth and whispered back into Miroku's ear, "I have no idea…probably a girl thing."- "He'll be fine," Kagome whispered. Sango and Kagome leaned their heads on KoKo's shoulders while KoKo had each hand over Sango and Kagome's shoulders.
