Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kilala were behind a huge bush during the whole Inuyasha, Kikyo, and Kagome scene. They all slowly poked their heads out of the bush to see if the coast was clear. No one was at the lake anymore.

When they all climbed out of the bush, Shippo cried out, "Wwwwaaahhh! I'm a cactus!"

There were little thorns everywhere on him along with the rest of the group.

"Let's go guys, we have to find Inuyasha and Kagome," Miroku said calmly while picking thorns from his skin and clothes."

Right , we should get going", agreed Sango.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Koga! Koga!" The young girl with the raven hair cried out.

She was completely lost. She was really tired and her feet really hurt. She found a huge boulder 5 feet in front of her and decided to sit down and take a rest. A few seconds later, she saw a tornado spinning towards her.

"You call?" Standing 3 feet in front of here was a man with blue-gray eyes, dressed in fur with his long black hair in a ponytail.

" Koga! I've been looking for you for hours!" exclaimed Kagome.

"Well I'm here now!" said Koga with a smile on his face.

But the smile didn't last for long.

" Hey, where's that mutt face Inuyasha? He asked while looking around.

Then he looked at Kagome and saw sadness and pain in her eyes as she looked away from Koga for the moment. "Oh, did u have a fight?" Koga said softly.

"Please don't mention his name. I don't want anything to do with him anymore", Kagome said quietly.

" I see", said Koga

. " So I was wondering if I could stay with you." asked Kagome.

" Kagome, I would be more than happy to let you stay with me. Ginta and Hakkaku are starting to get on my nerves. It'll be nice to have someone different to talk to." Exclaimed Koga.

" Thanks Koga."

A small smile crept onto Kagome's lips glad that she's not alone. She's glad to be with someone who really cares about her.

" Why don't we camp out here tonight? It'll be awhile until we get back to my cave."

Kagome agreed and got her sleeping bag out of her dig, yellow backpack. As she set it up, Koga looked at her curiously. She saw him with that confused look.

" This is so I don't get dirty or uncomfortable while I sleep." Kagome explained to Koga.

" OOKKAAYY", Koga said slowly still a little confused.

As Kagome was getting comfy in her sleeping bag, Koga gathered some nearby wood and made a fire. Kagome instantly fell asleep. Around midnight Ginta and Hakkaku finally caught up with Koga who was still awake, staring into the fire.

" Koga!" yelled Ginta with Hakkaku following behind him. " We found you! You won't believe…!"

" Will you guys SHUT UP!" Koga quietly yelled trying not to wake the sleeping Kagome.

" What?" Hakkaku yelled.

SSSSHHHHH!" Koga said while putting his index finger to his mouth.

As Ginta and Hakkaku made it to Koga, Koga was telling them to shut up because Kagome was sleeping. But when Koga pointed to Kagome, she was already awake.

" Hey guys," she said tiredly. " Is something wrong?"

Before the 2 wolf demons said anything else the both bowed and said

" Sorry for waking you Lady Kagome. We just saw a demon with long silver-white hair and amber eyes."

Immediately, Kagome thought " Inuyasha". But then Ginta kept describing the demon.

" He had a crescent moon on his forehead and purple stripes on each side of his cheeks. He had a young human girl and a toad demon with him."

Then Kagome knew instantly who it was. Sesshomaru.

" He's heading this way." Exclaimed Ginta.

" Quickly, everyone we have to go NOW! cried Kagome.

But before another word was spoken, the lord of the Western Lands appeared. Suddenly, his claws had sliced Hakkaku in the shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground in pain.

" Hakkaku!" yelled Ginta and attempted to hit Sesshomaru.

Then he missed and Sesshomaru elbowed Ginta in the ribs causing them to crack.

" Ginta! Hakkaku!" yelled Koga. " Bastard! Why the hell did you do that?"

Sesshomaru looked over to Koga with his emotionless amber eyes. " They kept following and annoying me as well as scaring Rin." Spoke the Lord of the Western Lands with his emotionless tone.

" So you basically injured them for the sake of a human girl?"

" Watch what you say." Said Sesshomaru.

" Why should I?" yelled Koga.

Then Sesshomaru looked over to Kagome who was looking at Rin chase Jaken, the little green toad demon. Koga followed his gaze. But when Koga looked back to Sesshomaru, he was already walking away and was calling Rin and Jaken to follow him.

" Hey get back here! I'm not through with you yet!" yelled Koga.

As soon as Sesshomaru and the 2 others were out of view, Kagome quickly grabbed her first-aid kit out of her backpack and ran over to Hakkaku, got a rag out, and put pressure on the wound on his arm to stop the bleeding, then bandaged it. Then she went over to Hakkaku

" Don't move", instructed Kagome.

She removed his vest and gently, but firmly wrapped it so he couldn't bend.

" You can't bend in any direction, k?" said Kagome.

Hakkaku nodded. Then she got some Advil and gave Ginta and Hakkaku 2 each.

" This will stop some of the pain, but not all."

Koga was impressed in how Kagome knew what she was doing and how well she did it. After working hard, Kagome wiped some sweat off of her forehead and rested against the same tree as Koga.

" Thanks for helping them, Kagome."

But Kagome was already asleep and was now resting on Koga's shoulder.
