Chapter Four

"So Kagura you betray me to Inuyasha and that new demon friend of his." Naraku Said menacingly.

"Master Naraku how are you going to punish Kagura?" Kanna asked in her small far away voice.

"I think I shall let her lead Inuyasha and the others here and then kill all of them Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kagura." Naraku said, obviously pleased at the way things were going.

"Are you going to weaken your barrier for them or make them try to break through it Master Naraku?" Kanna said.

"I shall make it easy for them." Naraku voice over shot of his castle

back to Inuyasha and the gang

"Inuyasha are you sure we can trust her?" Kagome said, she was slightly worried about their new companion.

"No, but we don't really have a choice do we?" Inuyasha replied, he was miffed about it as well.

"We could try to find Naraku's castle on our own." Kagome was hopeful of getting away from Kagura.

"Isn't that what you've been trying to do for a while now?" Pegasus asked tilting her head a little.

"Yeah but how did you know?" Inuyasha asked incredulously.

"I was sealed as you where but I could still have people get me news of people's whereabouts Inuyasha." Pegasus stated shortly.

"You mean the seal they sealed you with didn't kill you!" Miroku said rather loudly.

"No it didn't, it just prevented me from leaving my tower, although I think it was supposed to kill me, I'm not sure." Pegasus said quizzically

'Was it my grandfather that sealed her? How is it possible that he wasn't strong enough to kill her?' Miroku thought.

"Pegasus, the priest who sealed you what was his name?" Miroku, he wanted to get this cleared up right away.

"It was your relative monk." Pegasus said slightly saddened.

"How do you know it was MY relative?" Miroku couldn't believe this was the demon his father had told him about, the one who couldn't be killed.

"Because your scent resembles his." Pegasus said rather crossly.

"You remember his scent from that long ago?" Miroku asked.

"I have a good memory." She didn't like the way the conversation was going.

"You must to remember something like that." Miroku said slowly.

"Not really, scents are very easy to remember aren't they Inuyasha." She wanted out of the conversation with the monk.

Pegasus was talking to Inuyasha but he was keeping a very close eye on Kagome who was talking to Kouga.

'I thought I told her to stay away from him. Er, she always does this' Inuyasha thought with a slight growl escaping his lips.

"So Inuyasha have you told Kagome that you get jealous when she talks to Kouga that way?" Pegasus asked quietly.

"I do not!" Inuyasha retorted loudly.

"If you don't want them to hear the conversation I would suggest you keep your voice down." Pegasus warned softly.

"How do you now that I get jealous, even though I don't." Inuyasha almost slipped that he cared about Kagome talking to Kouga.

"I can tell by the way your staring at them, your face is like all messed up and contorted." Pegasus replied slyly

"It is not messed up or contorted." He said indignantly.

"Like I said to keep this conversation a secret keep your voice down Inuyasha." Pegasus warned again.

"Ha I don't care if it's a secret or not." Inuyasha said even though he did care.

"Good cause Kouga heard the last three sentences." Pegasus said walking off.

Pegasus then walked forward and caught up with Lokie behind Kouga and Kagome and in front of Miroku and Sango. Inuyasha just stood there dumbfounded, Kagura on the other hand was planning her escape.

"Don't even think about it Kagura." Pegasus said threateningly.

"Think of what?" Kagura replied in her most innocent voice.

"Trying to escape." Pegasus said matter-of-factly.

'Grr, how did she know what I was thinking, is she a mind reader! If she is I must be very careful about what I think.' Kagura thought to herself.

Kagome then falls back to talk to Inuyasha, seizing the opportunity Pegasus talks to Kouga.

"Hey do you want to go ahead of the others with me?" Pegasus asked cheerfully.

"What! why?" Kouga he wanted to stay with Kagome.

"To look for danger, Naraku could be setting a trap for us up ahead and I don't really want to fall into a trap just now." Pegasus said as if he asked a stupid question.

"Well if you think you can keep up with me I'll go." Kouga said, he thought no one was as fast as he was.

"Ha you'll be the one that has trouble keeping up, Kouga." Pegasus said in a cheerful tone, she hadn't had the chance to run in quite a while and she enjoyed it a lot.

Pegasus and Kouga then took off racing across a big open field then into a forest, you could barely see them dodging trees and bushes. You could hear them laughing, Kouga was panting but Pegasus was speeding up.

"How do you do that?" Kouga yelled at her amazed.

"I don't know, I just do, how do you run this fast Kouga?" Pegasus she thought she had an idea.

"I have Sacred Jewel Shards in my legs." Kouga said.

"Ah so you cheat do you." So her hunch had been correct.

"I don't cheat, I just give my self an unfair advantage." Kouga said loudly over the wind.

"That, I do believe, is the very definition of cheating Kouga." Pegasus said laughing, sha hadn't had this much fun In quite a while.

"Whatever you say. What is you name anyway?" Kouga said realizing he didn't know.

"My name is Pegasus I thought I already told you that." Pegasus she wasn't sure she had.

"Hmm, yeah you did, my memory obviously isn't as good as yours." Kouga said jokingly.

"What do you mean Kouga?" She didn't really like the way he had said that.

"Well, you said that you remember the smell of that monk's relative from about 70 some odd years ago, I just thought that was odd, for you and his grandfather to be just friends but you still remember his scent." Kouga said softly.

"We weren't just friends I loved him very deeply but we weren't 'lovers' if that's what your suggesting." Pegasus she deffinatly didn't like where the conversation was going.

"Oh, I see, loved ones but not lovers..." Kouga said with a doubtful tone in his voice.

"Yes, well sort of, I loved him but he didn't love me." Pegasus said sadly.

"Oh, that's kinda depressing, but I know how you feel." Kouga said as he sighed.

"You really do love Kagome don't you?" She wasn't sure if he was telling the truth or just trying to make Inuyasha mad.

"Yeah I really do I'm not just saying that." Now he had the same sad tone Pegasus had a second ago.

"So, it's true then?" Pegasus said to herself.

"What's true?" Kouga asked.

"Oh, Nothing, forget I said anything." Pegasus said thinking.

'So Kagome's heart does belong to Inuyasha, poor Kouga.'

Pegasus and Kouga ran for a little while in silence they didn't realize just how far away from the others they where getting. They both found it very relaxing to wander amongst the trees and bushes of the forest.
