Chapter 8: Friend or Foe?
The group was walking along the path when Inuyasha suddenly started growling softly.
"What's wrong?" Sango asked
Kagome looked around slowly then dropped her defensive stance and continued walking again. "Nothing to worry about its just Koga"
Inuyasha growled louder at the mention of the name
"Hey mutt-face!" a familiar voice called out.
"Please don't call him that Koga" Kagome said to him
"Yeah ya mangy wolf don't call me that"
"Inuyasha don't call Koga that either"
Inuyasha sighed then looked at Koga "What do you want?"
"I came here to check on my woman"
"Koga I'm not your woman. Remember we had this talk before. Now what else do you want?"
"Oh Kagome that mutt must have brain washed you but its ok if you just come with me then everything will eventually come around"
Kagome and Inuyasha sighed at the same time and Kagome started to walk away from Koga.
"Wait Kagome! I have some good news for you!" Koga called to her
"Yeah? What's that?"
"I found where Naraku is."
"You what?" everyone's mouth dropped open and they looked at him with shock
"Yeah with Sesshomaru's help we both found it and I thought I should tell Kagome so she knows that I wont be checking on her for awhile since I'm going off to kill Naraku and get that half of the jewel."
"Where did you find his castle?" Miroku asked
"Over there" Koga waved his hand off in the general direction behind him
"Oh"
"Yeah I found it before that half demon of yours found it." He smirked
"Why you little!" Inuyasha made a grab for Koga but Sango and Miroku held him back.
"Let me go!"
"No, restrain yourself Inuyasha. He isn't worth it" Miroku said to him quietly
"Fine" Inuyasha huffed and stopped struggling against them even though he knew that he could break free if he tried but he wasn't trying at all and Koga knew it.
"What's wrong? The mutt face cant break free?"
"Shut up ya mangy wolf!"
"Koga please don't make fun of Inuyasha and the same goes for you too Inuyasha."
"Ok Kagome I won't call that mutt names anymore" Koga said smiling
Inuyasha sighed and Kagome glared at him
"Ok, ok I wont call his royal rabies names anymore"
Kagome rolled her eyes at the both of them.
Shippo found his lollypop and started licking it. 'this is going to be awhile' he thought to himself.
Kilala looked up at him and mewed
"Yeah I know Kilala they do act like children."
"You don't know where it is" Inuyasha was yelling
"Yes I do!"
"Then tell us!"
"No you can figure it out on your own." Koga smirked
Inuyasha growled
Miroku put his hand on his friends shoulder "Don't let him bug you, we'll figure it out eventually. We don't need him"
"Yeah" Sango agreed
Kagome looked at Inuyasha and Koga and shook her head. 'They're a couple of children' she sighed to herself.
Koga grabbed Kagome's hand suddenly and knelt down on one knee "If I bring you Naraku's head to prove he is dead and half the jewel shard that he has will you be my mate?"
Kagome sweat dropped and fell over sideways. She looked up at him. "I told you before that I don't feel that way about you Koga." She said softly
Inuyasha growled menacingly at Koga "You heard the lady. Now scram you flea bitten wolf."
"I haven't given up yet" Koga called over his shoulder as he sped off "I will have Kagome for my mate!"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and looked at the others "So you think he's telling the truth? That he actually found Naraku's castle?"
"Its possible" Sango said
"Yeah it really is" Miroku pointed out
"I don't know but maybe we should follow Koga's scent and see where he is going" Kagome said
"Yeah you just want to be near your precious Koga" Inuyasha sneered
"Give it up Inuyasha"
"What? It's true. Your precious Koga ran away so now we have to follow him"
"Shut up Inuyasha"
"Or what?" he taunted
"Sit" Kagome said calmly
THUD
Miroku looked down at the half demon "You asked for it that time"
"Feh"
"You did" Sango said
"Whatever"
Shippo looked at him then rolled his eyes and sighed "Your hopeless you know that?"
Inuyasha glared at them.
Kagome started walking off in the direction that Koga had taken "You guys coming?"
Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kilala followed her and Inuyasha just shook his head in amazement. 'she knows what she wants and how to get it' he thought to himself 'and she is so spunky, she won't let anyone tell her what to do, not even me. She is so bossy, but why do I like it?'
He shook his head and followed slowly behind them still lost in his thoughts.

"I told you we wouldn't catch up to him. And now we're back at the village. Now what are we going to do?" Inuyasha asked
"Fine I give up Koga didn't want us to follow him I guess." Kagome said
"Then can we at least take a break? I'm getting tired." Shippo said
"Ok Shippo lets take a break." Kagome said and sat down under a nearby tree. Shippo ran over and hopped into her lap and hunted for his trademark lollypop. After he found it he contentedly started licking it and soon fell asleep in Kagome's lap
"Well I guess we're staying the night here then?" Inuyasha asked from a few branches up in the tree above her head
"Yeah I guess we are. Is that ok with you two?" Kagome looked over at Miroku and Sango but realized it was useless to ask since they had both fallen asleep.
"Yep we're staying the night" she called up into the tree.
"Ok fine then just don't sit me in your sleep. I don't want to fall out of the tree and land on you or anything like that." He called down
"Ok I'll try not to"
To be continued
Ok so they are all asleep. Will they wake up to a blue sky or a rainy one? Will demons attack or not? I actually have no idea so you will have to wait until I put up the next chapter. My warning is though that I'm not that good at writing out fights so I don't think that there will be many demons in this story. please read and review! thanks
