Chapter 6: Finding the hanyou.

"Kagome, it's me Sango." Sango looked into Kagome's eyes that were filled with fear and a hint of embarrassement, most likely from the groping.

"Stay away!" Kagome turned to run but was cut off by a demon cat and a little kitsune on it's back. "Koga! Help!" she screamed at the top of her lungs and waited. No one came, was she too far away to be heard?

"Kagome why are you so scared?" asked Sango after banging Miroku on the head once more with her boomerang for groping her.

Kagome heard Sango's question but was too busy staring at the little kitsune, it was so cute and familiar. She walked up to the kitsune as she cautiously watched the demon cat.

"You, seem familiar." she stated to Shippo.

"You're my mom, of course I'm familiar to you." he said.

Kagome felt tears coming to her eyes but had no answer as to why. She brought both of her hands up to her eys and felt the tears begin to fall. She felt sad for some reason, like this was the thing that she was missing, the thing Koga couldn't give her. She brought her hands to the sides of her head as she held on tight. Pain was shooting throught her brain from the familiar kitsune. She fell to her knees and let the tears fall freely, as Sango came to her side. The part of Kagome that remembered all of her friends had laid dormant the past few days, and now that it was awakening it was having a tough time getting out. The slumber of her memories rose from their bed and into her mind.Kagome felt the pain subside and rose to her feet again, and then, she thought of a name, a name that she loved so dearly to her heart.

"S-Shippo?" she asked.

"..." he nodded in silence.

"Oh, Shippo!" Kagome opened her arms wide and consumed Shippo in a hug. She remembered. She rememberd him! She also remembered Sango, Miroku, Kilala and Inuyasha! Speaking of which, where was Inuyasha?

"Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"We don't know, the last time we saw him was when you were heading to Koga's den. He should be with you."

"I don't know where he is, I rememberhe was here yesterday before I went swimming. And, I haven't seen him since."

"Lady Kagome did you two get in a fight perhaps?" asked the now concious Miroku. He had actually been awake for a while but he enjoyed looking at women from all angles.

"No, we didn't have a fight. I just went for a swim with Koga, then he dragged me off a cliff, and then we went to sleep." Kagome put her finger to her lip still pondering the situation unaware of the enormous eyes that were popping out at her.

"We! Sleep!" Sango and Miroko exclaimed. Kagome heard their outburst and began to explain until she was interrupted by the sound of wind whipping against the treees. Koga had emerged from the forest and was running towards Kagome engulfing her in the tornado taking her form their sight. When the gang saw Kagome after the tornado had calmed down she looked distorted and a bit dizzy, of course that is to be expected from being thrown about by wind.

Kagome put her hand on Koga's chest for support and shook her head trying to get the trees back on the ground and the sky back in the...well sky.

"Kagome I heard you scream for help and I got here as fast as I could."

"You're pretty slow then if took you this long. Those shards fall out or something?" joked Kagome. "Bu anyway I just ran into Miroku and the others is all. Sorry I worried you."

"It's okay."

"Hey Koga, do you know were Inuyasha went?"

"Inuyasha?" asked Koga surprised.

"Yeah, Inuyasha. Look, I know you two fight alot and you shoudn't be responsible for his where-a-boutsbut I can't seem to find him anywhere." Kagome looked at Koga's face and asked. "Why do you looked so surprised?"

"Because, you had forgotten Inuyasha the day you fell off the cliff."

"What? I forgot him? Cliff?"

Flashback

"Kagome why do we have to go to Koga's" complained Inuyasha.

"Because, we need his jewel shards to help complete the jewel."

"Well, you know he's gonna try to marry you again, that bastard."

"Inuyasha calm down, it'll be a quick visit, go in, get the jewel shards, come out, go home. Just like that."

The two walked along the rock path until they found Koga's den. Kagome ran ahead of Inuyasha and yelled the wolf's name, but no answer. Inuyasha was already starting to get sick of the stench of wolf and yelled. "Hey Koga! Get your ass out here!"

"Here I am!" Koga said as he jumped from a near by tree towards Inuyasha; his foot coming in contact with Inuyasha's face. Inuyasha's face was left with a red foot print between the eyes, and on his flattened nose.

"Why you-"

"Sit!"

"Kagome! What the hell did you do that for!" Inuyasha growled.

"You two don't need to be getting into a fight when it's not necessary." she explained when she felt a certain wolf come up next to her. He put his arm around her shoulders and said. "Yeah, you insolent pup! You couldn't beat me anyway!" he gloated.

Kagome politley pushed herself out of Koga's grasp and looked at him; her eyes pleading him to tone it down a smidge. Koga saw her puppy face and sighed, he turned his back to the hanyou and calmed his erge to taunt.

"So Kagome, what did you and that mutt come here for anyway?"

"We came for your shards. The Shikon no Tama is almost finished, and your shards are the only ones left."

Picking himself up from the ground Inuyasha put his two cents worth in. "So hand them over you damn wolf, and when you do then we can have a real fight. One that I'll win!"

"Sit!"

"Arrgh!"

Koga looked at Kagome and knew that giving up the shards was for the better, but he was actually having doubts that without them he might actually loose to that mutt. And if that happened Kagome may never want to even see him again.

As if reading his thoughts Kagome touched his hand and said. "Koga, I promise I won't think any less of you without the shards." Koga looked at her reassuring face and bent down to take the shards out. He gave them to her and smiled, but that smile soon faded into confusion when Inuyasha jumped over Kagome's head and struck at Koga with Tetssaiga. The blow had cracked the rock they were standing on and Kagome, who was very close to the edge, went tubbling with the rocks as they slid down the face of the mountain.

End Flashback

That was all Kagome could remember until now, except for the vague memory of her romantic swim. She looked at Koga and thought about her words. 'Those shards fall out or something?' No, they didn't fall out she had them. She felt guilty for such a comment, but seeing as Koga wasn't phased by it, she let it slide.
