Inuyasha's thoughts raced. "I have to save Kagome first… Get her away from danger." His face remains unmoved and unconcerned as he bare out his fangs and claws. "So, you're Koga eh?" Inuyasha said, "I'll show you who the better one is!" With that, he lunched at Koga. Koga gave a grin and leap towards Kagome with amazing speed. "Hah! Too slow." He smirked and carried a squirming Kagome into his back.

"Well, if you have the guts come and save your girl!" Having said that, he sped away with his wolf pack, leaving the dazed and angry Inuyasha behind. "Hey you!" Inuyasha shouted, "Coward!" Inuyasha tailed them with his nose, until he got lost in a fork road. The wolves' scent was all over the place. Inuyasha stood at the split, his eyes and ears twitching with irritating. "Darn you!" He yelled into the air.

Meanwhile, Kagome had been brought to a cave where the smell of rotting meat and wolves was overbearing. She was thrown into a corner with another prisoner. Amale who looks to be at the age of atoddler, but has fox ears and a fox tail growing out of the area where his tail bone is. He was sobbing and shivering in fear, eyes closed with fright.

All the wolves and demons crowded over, licking their lips and looking hungrily at the two prisoners. Koga found himself a place at the front and gave everyone an angry look, crossing his arms over his chest. "The girl will not be eaten. She will come in use later." He said as the cave echoed with groans. "But… Feel free to gobble the little one up." The cave erupted into cheers as every wolf and demon pounced at the smaller prisoner.

"NO!" Kagome shouted, and shielded the other one from harm. She scooped him up into her arms and hugged him protectively. Koga raised an eye brow, and told her to move away. Kagome stared at him and did not move an inch. She was determined to save the life of the little one.

"Go away!" She shouted, and the wolves backed off with soft whines of protests, while Koga had a lightsmirk on his face. The demons all frowned, wondering what Koga had in mind. "Keep the kitsune if you wish. You'll both be lunch anyway!" He laughed as he walked away, and out of the cave.All the wolves dispatched with groans, whereby the wolf demons dispatched withcomplains of hunger.

"Are you okay?" Kagome asked, concerned about the young child in her arms. The young child opened his eyes, and wiped away his tears. Checking that he was still alive, he broke into a smile and jumped on the ground.

"Hello! I'm Shippo. Thanks for saving me just now!" He continued excitedly, "I'm a demon, and am very powerful! I can do lots of cool tricks as well!" Kagome giggled at Shippo's cute front and asked, "Can you help us get out of here?" Shippo managed a weak smile and whispered. "Erm… Nope..."

Kagome shook her head and told him that it's okay. She looked Shippo in his eyes, and told him, "I have a friend who will come to save us. His name is Inuyasha. I know he will come for us soon. He has cute white dog ears on the top of his head and priecing yellow eyes…" Her voice trilled away as she closed her eyes. She willed in her heart. 'Inuyasha… Come and save us… We need you...'

Shippo climbed onto her lap, and chirped. "I've got a great idea on escaping… I'll need your help though!" Kagome opened her eyes, and blinked as Shippo told her his plan.
