Foreword: Hi ya all! Sorry for not updating for quite a while but I had just moved house and I did not have the time to type out the story. Moreover, my teachers have offically gone mad and started giving out TONS of homework. I hope you understand. Thanks.


Inuyasha looked at his own reflection in the river water. The raft he was on did not even wobble because of the calm river water. He signed. "I wonder what that older brother of mine is thinking now... Had he realised that I was missing?" he shook his head, driving away his thoughts. "Feh! Why should I care?" he yelled, causing an echo.

'Why should I care... I care... care...'

A voice rang out, "Care about what?" Inuyasha looked back and with a happy and sweet voice, said "Oh yeah... I had wanted to ask you," Inuyasha changed his tone to one of irritation. "WHY ARE YOU STILL FOLLOWING ME?" he shouted. Kagome forced an innocent smile. "Well, I wanted to be your friend," after a short pause, she contined,"I also wanted to see if my guesses about your character is correct... ..." In her heart, Kagome sighed,"Inuyasha, you are kind at heart, but I can see that you are lonely. You may act arrogant and spoilt, but deep inside, you really want someoneto understands you..."

Inuyasha gave a "Feh!" and turned his back against Kagome. Then, in spite of himself, smiled. Deep inside him, he was really glad that he need not have to go on alone. Then, his smile turned into afrown. "I must not let her know who I am." he thought. Suddenly, he caught a scent of a demon. "What the heck is that sound?" he wondered. He cocked his head in the direction of the weird sound. He heard a faint splashing of water, that became louder and louder as the small hand-made raft closen in on what ever is making the splashing. "WAIT! I know that sound! It's..." Inuyasha shout with a hint of shock in his voice,"A WATERFALL!"

Kagome gasped. Inuyasha had now stood up and made the raft wobble. Kagome tried to stand up too, but the rocking of the raft on the once calm water made it difficult to do so. "Inuyasha!" she shouted. Inuyasha squatted down. "Kagome, climb onto my back, quick!" "Ok."Kagome nodded and crawled to Inuyasha. Then, she gripped his shoulders. The waterfall was coming into view. It was gigantic, and beautiful. A rainbow hung over the waterfall. "If not for the fact that I might be thrown over the waterfall, I would be enjoying the view very much..." kagome thought grimly as she climbed onto Inuyasha's back.

Inuyasha yelled over the noise of the waterfall. 'Kagome! Hang on tight!" Without waiting for a reply, he leaped to the land closeset to the raft and made it to dry land just as their tiny raft disappeared over the waterfall, into the mist andplunged into the greatlake below. Then, he let Kagome climbed down his back.

"We... We've made it..." Kagome gasped, unable to get pass the shock of her near death experience and the fact that she is still alive and kicking. Inuyasha said nothing. He slowly walked over to a nearby tree and sat under it. Kagome stood up and faced Inuyasha. "Thank you Inuyasha, for saving me." Inuyasha said a soft "Huh?" before turning away. "Feh!" he said loudly. Then, after a moment of hesitation, he gave a cold reply. "You're welcome." Kagome blinked. "I could have sworn Inuyasha's ears were a bit red..." Kagome thought as she sat down beside Inuyasha.

Inuyasha's face was hot, and red. This he knew. Then, suddenly, a pack of wolves with some demons with a brown tail leapt out of the bushes. "So this was the demon I smelt... Wolves." Then, a wolf demon with a long ponytail stepped out. "I'm Koga. Leader of the great wolf pack you see before you! Now... What have we got here?" Koga stood proudly in front of his wolf pack. "You are trespassing in MY territory. And you are not going to get off lightly for it." Koga said, directing his words at Inuyasha. "So this was the demon I smelt just now…" Inuyasha thought, before saying out loud, "Feh! Why should I care? I hate the smell of wolves. They stink!" The wolves growled. "Inuyasha, be nice!" Kagome hissed. Inuyasha turned towards her. "BE NICE? They want to eat you up!" Inuyasha glared.

Kagome was shocked. "Eat me up?" the thought horrifies her. "Then do something!" she yelled into Inyasha's ears. "Hey!" Inuyasha said, jumping backwards. "That hurts!" "Well, sorry. But do something about those wolfs!" Kagome argued. "Who are you to tell me what to do?" Inuyasha argued back. They started arguing, soon forgetting about the bewildered wolf pack that is now staring at them. "Hey! Are you forgetting about us?" a voice interrupted their quarrel. "Huh?" Kagome and Inuyasha said at the same time and turned towards Koga, who now looks more irritated then ever.
