Meanwhile, Koga strode towards Kagome and the others with a great sense of satisfaction.

"What are you so happy about?" Kagome asked, growing suspicious.

"Oh, nothing, nothing," Koga said happily. "Let's go for a walk, Kagome."

"Um, all right. By the way, where's Inuyasha?"

Koga fell over. Why must she always question his whereabouts? "He's somewhere…" Koga said vaguely, not wanting to have Kagome leave to her own world to retrieve Inuyasha.

Kagome gave a skeptical glance. Well, she considered, if anyone could get Koga to admit where Inuyasha is, it's me. "Yeah, let's go for a walk," she smiled, hugging his arm.

Koga blushed at Kagome's willingness. Oo, that stupid mutt should leave more often. Always wanted a Koga Junior, Koga grinned, pulling Kagome closer…

"ARGG!" Inuyasha yelled as he lunged at Houjo with the Tetsaiga. An uneasy feeling in his stomach gave way, however, causing Inuyasha to fall flat on his face. He groaned with queasiness as Houjo stared in pity and disbelief.

"Um… can I help you?" Houjo asked.

"You… fuckin'… bastard… I'll kill…" Inuyasha released another groan, and a tiny "toot" of gas from his buttocks. Houjo continued to stare… having quite a bit of sympathy for the poor man dressed like an idiot.

"Just relax, pal," Houjo reasoned, kneeling down to help Inuyasha. "You don't look so well. I'll call the police and they'll help you, especially those nice people in the pretty asylums. Just relax, calm your body…" Houjo began drifting away, supposedly one of the unnatural effects of Japanese yoga.

"Oh, shut up," Inuyasha growled as he tried to make a second attempt at attacking Houjo; but at the first movement of getting up to swing his blade, he fell back down. "Kagome…"

"Please, just take deep breaths and…" Before Houjo could finish, Inuyasha leapt into the well with his remaining strength. Houjo ran over and peered into the well, seeing absolutely nothing inside. "Wow, I didn't think that guy was a magician," Houjo contemplated. "That explains the outfit..." And with that Houjo walked off as oblivious as ever, humming a random song.

All the while, Koga was building his courage to make a move on Kagome. There was no need for it, though, because Kagome was flirtier than Koga had ever seen.

Oo, I know he knows where Inuyasha is, Kagome thought impatiently, but I would've thought he'd have given in by now.

"So, Kagome," Koga wooed, or at least tried to woo, "why don't you and I get a little more- acquainted."

"Oh, Koga," Kagome batted her eyelashes, "I think that's a marvelous idea." Marvelous! Marvelous! Now, Kagome said to herself, I'm trying to hard. This guy's in love with me. Shouldn't take too long…

Koga gave a dashing grin, causing Kagome to actually blush. He smirked at the realization of her cheeks reddening. "So what does your future era do for fun? Male to female fun to be more specific."

"You really wanna know?" Kagome rubbed up against Koga, causing him to practically melt like a puddle. "Why don't I be more specific and show you…"

Koga gulped. This was it. He was finally getting his woman. If only he could think straight… her skirt was too short and her shirt too tight. They should come off immediately.

Kagome, still very close to Koga, whispered in his ear. "I just have one… simple… question."

"Anything…" he growled.

Kagome transformed from sexy and lustful back to peppy and innocent. "So where did Inuyasha go?"

Koga fell over. God dammit, he actually had thought he'd made progress. "He went to your world to kill Koga! Are you happy now?" he shouted.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted angrily. "How dare he! Inuyasha get BACK HERE!" she yelled running away.

Koga silently cried to himself. "This close… I was this close…" he sobbed, he demonstrated with hand gestures. "Why…"

Kagome rushed to the well, screaming Inuyasha's name. She passed Miroku and Sango, who glanced at her without interest. They had become so accustomed to this Inuyasha, Koga, and Kagome deal that they continued their conversation as they had glanced up. Kagome was about to jump into the well when she saw Inuyasha sprawled on the ground. Her anger quickly converted to concern as she kneeled and placed Inuyasha's head gently on her lap.

"Oh, Inuyasha…" she said softly.

"Kagome! Kagome!" Koga called, following her scent. "Look, Kagome, I'm sorry…" He stopped in mid-sentence as he saw Kagome leaning over Inuyasha. "Aw man…"
