Chapter 12: Moonlit Recollection

"Kouga, aren't you going to eat anything?" Kagome asked, keeping her empty bowl down.

"No thanks, Kagome." He replied, he walked off into the forest.

Kagome frowned and lowered her head. Kouga was really worried about Iyama. She missed Iyama too and hoped she was okay. Did Inuyasha get this worried when she was in feudal Japan?

"Give me his then." Inuyasha commanded more than asked.

"Inuyasha, sit!" she exclaimed.

"What was that for?" he yelled.

"For being a jerk!" she answered back.

----------------------------------O-O-------------------------------------------

Kouga sat in a tree and looked up at the moon. He suddenly saw Iyama's angry face and smiled. 'Was there ever a time when she wasn't so angry?' he thought to himself. As if in reply, Iyama's face materialized again. This time it was sad. He then remembered that it was because she missed her parents. Another look appeared on her face, this time she was happy. He then remembered that time when they were in his cave.

-----------------FLASHBACK--------------------------------------------------------------

After Kouga had gotten up from being punched, he sat up. Iyama was fuming and gave him a glare. He smiled at her and she gave him a surprised look. He wondered why, then he saw that his wolves were now besides him, growling at her. He patted them on the head and told them to stop.

"Don't worry, they wouldn't hurt a mushroom." He reassured.

"Doubt it." She answered dryly.

"What, you don't think they can be good without my presence?" he asked, seeming appalled.

"You got it." She replied. "I don't think they're good with your presence."

"Oh really?" he asked, raising his eyebrow.

"You better believe it." She answered giving him a matter-of-fact look.

"Okay then, I'll prove it to you then." He retorted. He whispered something into his comrades' ears, then he leapt out of the cave and ran very far away, leaving Iyama with the wolves.

Iyama looked at the wolves with a sweet-drop. They bared their teeth at her, as if smiling wickedly. She began to laugh nervously. They advanced forward while she backed away into the walls of the cave. They kept coming closer giving her a malevolent look.

"Kouga, it's not funny, you can call them back now." She chuckled, her voice shaky with fear.

His wolves kept advancing.

"I'm serious, the jokes over now, haha. Now call them back now." She cried.

She sweat-dropped and started laughing nervously. Then his wolves lunged at her. She screamed. He decided to rush back into his cave.

He smiled when he got back inside. Iyama was crying, but it was of laughter. His wolves were on top of her, licking her face. Her face was full of joy and it made him happy as well. When he decided that she had suffered enough, he went to her side and picked up his wolves.

"Now do you doubt them?" he asked.

She dried the tears and looked up at his smiling face.

"Yes, even more." She replied.

He was truly shocked. Seeing his shocked face, she burst out laughing. He looked even more confused. Then he got angry.

"Why are you laughing?" he barked."

She laughed even harder.

"You…hahahahaha…looked…hahahahaha…so…funny!" she exclaimed between laughs.

--------------------------END OF FLASHBACK-----------------------------------

"Don't worry Iyama, we'll get you." He spoke to the moon.
