Koga growled and descended the mountain. There had been no leopards…so why had they asked him to come. When his feet touched ground again he spotted some wolf men running towards him. They looked fearful. "Koga!" one of them was shouting. He collapsed in front of Koga panting hard. Koga starred down at him and asked, "What is it?"

"It's…Kagome!" the man huffed. Koga gasped and knelt before the demon. "Has something happened to her? What is it? Where is she?" He was becoming worried. The wolf shook his head. "She…was…kidnapped!" he managed to say. Koga snarled. "WHAT?" he screamed and ran to his other men.

"What happened to Kagome? Who took her?" he demanded out of them. Ginta looked sorry. "We were knocked out and when we awoke…she was already gone." Koga looked around and every man was nodding. Koga grabbed Ginta by the shoulders. "How can we find them? Where are they now?" Ginta shook his head slowly.

"We don't know," he said. Koga released his friend and sniffed the air. He could defiantly smell leopards and Kagome's scent was mixed in with it. He looked back at his men. "Search the area. The entire area! I want her found even if it takes a year, or ten, or twenty!" he sprinted off and was out of sight in an instant.

Kagome shuttered and opened her eyes weakly. She tried to move but…she couldn't. She looked over and saw that each wrist was bound by shackles. When she looked down both of her ankles had shackles around them as well. She struggled but it was no use. Where am I? she thought confusedly. She starred at her surroundings and realized she was in a cave. A fire was going at the center and two leopard guards were outside the entrance. She suddenly remembered being kidnapped and frowned.

Her clothes were torn and she had a cut on her cheek. She saw the two guards talking to someone and then a strong looking leopard entered the cave. When he noticed she was awake he smiled and walked over to her. "Good…you've awaken," he said evilly. Kagome frowned even more. "Why did you take me?" she demanded. The demon smiled maliciously.

"My dear girl, you can see jewel shards!" he said, as though it were obvious. "I'm going to make you work for me!" Kagome made a Ha! noise and glared at him. "I'd rather die then work for you!" she growled. The leopard leader only continued to smile. "That can be arranged," he laughed. "You're a fiery one. What's your name?" he asked.

"Ha! Like I'd tell you!" Kagome spat. The leopard held up a sharp claw. "Well, alright then, but I guess I can just slice right through your clothing…"

"My name's Kagome!" Kagome said hurriedly. He lowered his claw. "Well, Kagome, you're pretty good looking." He brought a furry hand up to her cheek but Kagome yanked away. He grinned a grin that greatly resembled one of Naraku's. "Kagome, I think I'll marry you." Kagome starred in shock with her eyes wide open. It was the exact same thing that had happened with Koga although she hadn't been tied up.

"YOU WILL NOT!" she shouted. "I…already have a mate!" She started to blush and the leopard looked her over. "And let me guess…this mate of yours is that filthy wolf leader?"

"He is not filthy!" Kagome snapped. "He's brave and kind and strong and handsome! Don't ever insult him!" Wow, am I really saying these things? Kagome wondered, her blush deepening. The demon didn't reply at first but then said, "Then I'll kill him. And when I do, you'll have no choice but to marry me!" Kagome gulped and thought, Wow, it is exactly like what happened with Koga. The leopard demon's leader turned and left the cave. Kagome knew he would be back.

But what if he really does kill Koga? She thought. Then he'll force me to marry him! She panicked but couldn't think of anything to do. She couldn't escape. She couldn't call for help. Who would save her?
