Chapter Six
Kouga ran at top speed through the underbrush, trying to locate the young kitsune that was apparently in danger from something.
Leaping on top of the tallest tree in the area, Kouga looked for the cause of disturbance hoping to find the lost cub and to bring him back to his mate.
"Shippo, where are you?"
"I'm over here!" a weak cry came from the middle of the forest, right near a nest of spider heads.
Running as fast as he could, Kouga raced through the trees and finally made it to the clearing that held at least two dozen spider heads and a small hole that held a terrified kitsune.
"Get away from him this instant!" Kouga shouted slashing through the spider heads with amazing speed.
The spider heads that had been surrounding the hole backed off quickly and began to circle around the much larger prey that had entered their 'domain'.
"You are much bigger and fatter than the small cub, you will be dinner instead of him." The leader of the group decided launching himself at the wolf prince.
Kouga seeing the attack was able to catch the leader by one of his legs and tear it from his body with a resounding rip and a scream.
"Leave my territory this instant if you value your life." Instead of answering the demons continued to circle around the wolf prince, waiting for their chance to pounce on him and make him their meal.
"I wouldn't try anything wolf boy, if you want your mate to live." A soft purr said from the sidelines.
Kouga turned quickly to find a cat demon holding Kagome by her throat, squeezing the breath from her lungs with one hand, while the other held a sword.
"Let her go NOW!!!!!" Kouga yelled letting out a howl that sent half the spider heads running into the woods for cover and causing the cat demon to drop Kagome to the ground so she could cover her ears.
Kagome seeing her window of opportunity available made a quick dash to Kouga's side looking for Shippo in the process.
"Where's Shippo?" Kagome asked as Kouga checked her over for anymore injuries.
"In the hole right behind me."
Kagome went a pulled Shippo out of the hole and kept to Kouga's back as the mysterious cat demon started to circle them the same way the spider heads had.
"You're a very bad wolf, I guess this means I get to tear out your throat instead of your heart first." The cat smiled licking her lips.
Kouga sneered at the woman and decided on a quick course of action, that would hopefully by Kagome enough time to find a hiding place.
"If you want my heart, you have to come and get it!" Kouga yelled jumping for the cat demon, catching her off guard.
Kagome watched as the two demons fought slashing and tearing at each other, both trying to gain the upper hand in the fight, both knowing that one would die.
"Lets go Kagome, before she tries to attack us." Shippo advised pulling on his mothers skirt to gain her attention.
"Alright Shippo, lets head back to the caves and warn the others."
Turning towards the direction the caves were supposed to be, Kagome made a quick dash for the cover of the trees, just as the cat demon noticed what she was doing.
"Get back here you little whore!!" she yelled running towards Kagome.
"Never call my mate a whore!" Kouga shouted digging his claws into her back and tossing her to the other side of the clearing.
Kagome now far enough away was able to stop for a minute to catch her breath and get a good sense of which way she was supposed to be going.
"Alright Shippo, I believe we are going the right way." Kagome said to the silent kitsune, who was listening for any sounds of the remaining spider heads.
"I think we might have been better off with that weird lady." Shippo stated as twenty spider heads emerged from the dense forest.
"You might be right."
Back in the clearing Kouga was gaining the upper hand in the fight, when a white mist suddenly covered the area and the cat demon was suddenly destroyed.
"Who's there?" Kouga asked keeping all his senses on alert.
"I am someone that can help you and your lady in great times of need if you want my help that is." The figure said stepping out of the shadows.
Kouga caught a good look at his face and let out a startled yelp.
Back in the dense forest Kagome was fending off as many spider heads as she could with a tree limb she had picked up off the ground.
"There's too many of them." Shippo cried throwing his foxfire on five more spider heads that appeared to his right.
"We have to hold on just a little bit longer, until Kouga or the other wolves come."
Just when the spider heads were about to jump on the two, a large gust of wind suddenly picked up and began to lift the spider heads off the ground and suck them up.
"That's Miroku's wind tunnel, I recognize that anywhere." Shippo exclaimed.
"Yeah but who's side is he on is what I want to know." Kagome said tighten her grip on the tree as the force of the wind began to pick up.
As suddenly as the wind had started, it stopped and when Kagome and Shippo were able to open their eyes they saw all the spider heads were gone and in the clearing that the wind tunnel had made stood their long time friend Miroku.
"Lady Kagome, Shippo it is good to see you again." Miroku said smiling and then without warning he collapsed to the ground with a pained look on his face.
"Miroku!!" Kagome and Shippo cried out together.
