Chapter 43:

Sam sat on a bench at the end of the ice rink, Jacob skating around, trying to convince her to go out there with him. "Why don't you come out here Samantha? It's quite boring just skating all by myself."

"Good." Sam said curtly.

Then Jacob stopped skating a went to Sam and sat next to her. "Samantha, please don't be this way. At least be a little friendly to me."

"I am being friendly." Sam said with a glare. "Unlike the other girls, I'm not going to throw myself at you like a little slut. OK? I'm not going to dance on that ice with you. I'm not going to be with you. I'm not going to do anything with you except fight with you until you let me go."

"Then I guess you're going to be fighting with me a lot." Jacob replied, the smirk not coming off his face.

"Screw you." Sam said as she stood up and started to skate while spekaers above played 'Bootylicious' by Destiny's Child. She jumped and spun around as she skated with all her grace around the rink. She had to work off a lot of stress, and this was how she would do it. Then she jumped up, but she didn't land. She felt two hands on her hips. She looked down and was in shock to see who it was.

"Koga?" Sam asked, a smile appearing on her face.

"What in God's name is he doing here?" Jacob yelled as he stood up.

Koga let Sam down gently, his gaze never leaving hers. "You came for me." Sam said, sounding a bit surprised.

"Of coasre I did." Koga said.

"How did you get in here?" Jacob yelled.

Koga looked at Jacob. He glared at him with a fire of rage burning in his eyes. Koga was ready to kill Jacob for kidnapping Sam. But then Koga felt a hand on his chest. He looked down at Sam, wondering what she was doing as she slowly skated towards Jacob. Koga went to follow her, but Sam turned around. "No. You are no match for him."

Koga backed down. He knew Sam could handle herself. But if she were to get into trouble and need his help, he would step in hwether she wanted him to or not.

Sam stood in the center of the rink. She closed her eyes and held her head high, spreading her arms and taking a deep breath before lowering her head and opening her eyes. Her eyes had changed from their cool blue color to a red. A spiral of wind surrounded her, changing her into her true form. Her hair turned brunet, and her clothes change into a long black dress and she had a black witch's hat on her head.

The spiral soon disappeared and Sam stood there. She smiled before a staff came out of the air and landed in her hand. "That feels much better." She said. "Now." She said as she waved her hands, and all the ice turned into a regular tile floor.

"How dare you!" Jacob yelled.

"How dare I what?" Sam asked. "This? Oh." She smiled. "This is just beginning. See? You. Are a clown." Sam said as she pointed to Jacob, and he instantly looked like a clown. "Or maybe you could be a basturd. Maybe even a cheating, lying, filthy, BASTURD!" Sam yelled as she pointed her staff at him.

Jacob snapped his fingers, and he was instantly changed back to normal. "What is this all about? I only wanted you Samantha. That's all. Nothing else."

"Than why the hell did you kidnap and hurt my friends in the prossess?" Sam yelled, fury in her voice.

"I don't know. I just- I DON'T KNOW!" Jacob yelled.

"Well you had your chance a long time ago. But you blew it! You blew it! Not my fault you just went up and attacked me before you were expelled! So quit trying!" Sam yelled.

"Never." Jacob said before a spiral of wind surrounded him and when it disappeared, he was wearing all black; black pants, black boots, black turtle neck, and a long black coat that almost touched the ground. "I will not give you up to that...that Demon!"

"Have it your way." Sam said as she twirled the staff around. "Koga! Go get the others!" Sam yelled. But Koga wouldn't move. She didn't hear any foot steps, so she yelled again. "Are you deaf Koga! I said go find the others! NOW!"

Koga started to run, using his demon speed to get away from the battle between Sam and Jacob so he could go find the others, but was soon stopped when he ran into a wall.

"I don't think he's going anywhere Samantha." Jacob said with a smile.

Koga was in a box. Just like the one Sam used to put him in when she felt it was necessary. Sam looked back at Koga. She waved her hands, trying to use her powers to let him out of the box, but all that came of it was Koga's screaming.

"What did you do to him?" Sam yelled.

"I put him in a box. And if you try to set him free from it, then a shock will run through him." Jacob said. "My own creation, as you can see."

"All I see is a jealous basturd that doesn't know what to do with himself." Sam yelled.

"Now Samantha. How about you stop with the insults, before another one of your friends is hurt." Jacob said before he snapped his fingers and Sarah appeared in the box next to Koga. She looked around.

"What's going on?" She yelled as she slammed her fists on the wall of the box only to be shocked.

"Sarah!" Sam yelled. Then she turned back to Jacob. "Let them go Jake!"

"Oh I think they look nice in there. Or maybe there needs to be more people in there." Jacob said before he snapped his fingers again, and Eric popped into the box.

"Eric!" Sam yelled.

Jacob only smiled. "What's wrong Samantha? I thought you wanted your friends with you?"

"Look! This doesn't involve them! Now let them out of there!" Sam yelled.

"Fight me. You win, I'll let them go. You lose, and they can go, but you're mine." Jacob replied.

In the Box...

"What's going on?" Eric yelled. He couldn't be heard outside of the box.

"I don't know! One second I was with Hiten, talking-"

"Talking? Yeah right. You two weren't just talking. Even I know that and I wasn't in the room with you." Eric said.

"OK. Fine. We were smooching then. Happy? And the next thing I know, I'm here and I'm being shocked." Sarah said.

"Sam is fighting Jacob because he won't let her go. And he won't let us go unless she wins. She's fighting for us and so she can get out of here too." Koga explained.

"When did you get here anyway?" Eric asked.

"Yeah! And why did you ditch on us all when Jake made his move? I mean, you could have really helped out. But no. You left and ran out on all of us." Sarah said. "I mean, Sam was really worried about you when she found out you went out on your own. She was going after you when Jake grabbed her and the rest of us."

Koga had remembered what made him walk out on everyone. "I thought Sam was cheating on me with you." Koga said, looking at Eric.

"ME?" Eric asked as he pointed to himself. "Yeah right. Sam and me are close, but not that close. You probably heard us while we were spying on Sarah and Hiten while they were in Sam's room."

Koga couldn't believe it. Everything that Jacob had said had been a lye and he actually believed it! Why? Why did Koga listen to Jacob. He knew Sam wasn't like that. But he still ran out on them. If only he had stayed, everything might be different.

With Miroku and Sango...

"Where did Eric go?" Miroku asked as he came out of the bathroom to see Sango staring at the bed.

"I don't know. He was just here, then poof! He was gone." Sango replied.

"He couldn't have just dissappeared Sango." Miroku said as he also sat down.

"It's the truth Miroku!" Sango exclaimed.

"Well, then I guess that leaves us alone then." Miroku said with a smirk on his face.

"Don't you dare come near me you pervert." Sango said.

Then Miroku took a step closer to her, the smile not come from his face.

"I mean it Miroku." Sango warned.

"I know you don't. And I'm not afraid of you Sango. Come on. You even said back there that you loved me. How am I supposed to act now? Like it never happened? I can't do that Sango. I-" But Miroku never got to finish what he was saying, because Sango was kissing him.

But she soon pulled away, not daring to take it further. "Umm... Sorry. I umm... uhh..."

Miroku was smiling at Sango with nothing but love in his eyes. "It's OK Sango." Miroku said. "I love you too."

Sango smiled. She was so glad Miroku felt the same way. She knew now that he truly loved her, and wasn't after her because of his perverted side. "Oh Miroku." Sango said as she wrapped her arms around him, embracing him in a hug.

Miroku smiled, glad that Sango was finally opening up to him. He hugged her back, holding her gently as they moved to the bed and he sat down, Sango sitting on his lap. He didn't need to have her then, he didn't even have the urge to grope her at all. The moment just felt so right, just being that way, together.

AN- Yes, I'm leaving it off there. And in case you didn't notice, I have changed my name ever so slightly. I don't quite know why I did this, but I did. So... Plz R&R. Thanx! TTFN!
