Unfortunately, I do not own Inuyasha characters. Rumiko Takashi does…poor me and everyone else…I can't believe it…cries

Chapter fourteen: Koga

Amaya quickly ran into room. She popped open the bedroom window and jumped out. She did not look back and kept running. She ran past the pond and decided to head toward the mountains they lived by. She didn't know where exactly she was going, but just wanted to get away from home.

Stupid father! She thought as she ran, he's so overprotective and aggressive! Why won't he ever listen to me or mother? Why is he so stubborn?

After running for quite awhile, she slowed her pace. She was on a path that led up the mountain. She gazed around her and saw nothing but grass and occasional trees. Amaya looked at the path and shrugged. She made her way up. After walking up for only a short time, she heard something within the bushes in front of her. She stopped and watched the green leaves twitch. There was no wind right now, so whatever was in the bush, it was definitely not from the weather.

"Hello?" Amaya asked cautiously, taking a step back.

No one answered. She shook her head and braced herself and rushed over to the bush and kicked it. A yelp of pain came from the bush and Amaya jumped back and landed on her butt. Out came a wolf demon from the bush and he had fallen on his stomach. Amaya got up and rushed over to him and apologized. She helped him up and looked into his face. He had long black hair that was tied in a high ponytail and had pointy ears. He had a brown tail and hairy shoulder pads and shin guards.

"Who are you?" They both asked each other in unison, pointing their fingers at one another.

They stared at each other and then replied, "I asked you first!" at the same time.

Amaya smiled, "I'm Amaya." She said at last, "and you are?'

The wolf demon frowned and crossed his arms, "why should I tell you?"

Amaya frowned as well, "because!"

The wolf demon smirked, "that's a stupid reason. But I'll tell ya anyway. I'm Koga of the wolf demon tribe."

Amaya suddenly remembered something. She remembered that her mother had said that a wolf demon by the name of Koga had been their friend.

"That would mean you know my mother Kagome?" Amaya asked with curiosity.

Koga's eyes widened, "Kagome? She's your mother? Don't tell me she and that half breed got together?"

Amaya scowled, "yes, they did! And I'm their daughter!"

Koga laughed, "I can't believe Kagome actually married that fool!' he fell to the ground laughing.

"Stop that!" Amaya cried out blushing, "Inuyasha isn't so bad! Besides, he has to be worth something if Kagome picked him over you!"

That shut Koga off. He grimaced and looked away.

"Whatever…' He said, walking away, "I don't really care. I have my own life now…"

"Really? Who did you marry?" she asked, following him.

Koga shrugged, "does it really matter now?"

"Why not? I'm bored?" Amaya replied, smiling and giving Koga a slap on the back.

Koga sighed, "okay. I married Ayame…."

Amaya thought back and recalled who she was from her mother's stories.

"So," she started after the image of a female wolf demon came to mind, "have you been together long?"

Koga shrugged, walking faster, "7 years. We have a daughter too. Her name is Lorai. She's 16."

Amaya stopped in her tracks, "hold on! You said you were only married for 7 years! Does that mean…?"

Koga turned around and gave her the evil eye, "SHUT UP!"

Amaya giggled and looked away, "Sorry. She's a bastard…"

Koga rushed over to her and held her throat tightly, "HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY DAUGHTER YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!"

Through the choking, Amaya still remained to smile and reply, "that's what you call kids who were born when their parents weren't married."

Koga relaxed a little and removed his hands and started to walk again.

"Sorry." He said, "I didn't realize. I just thought that word was an insult…"

"It's okay." Amaya said, rubbing her neck, once again making her way behind Koga.

"Where we going anyway?" she asked him after they walked for what seemed like hours.

"My den. You can meet my daughter and my wife if you want…" Koga said, "where's your family?
"At home." She explained, "they got in a fight, and I ran away. They were being really immature. Inuyasha started a food fight…"

Koga laughed, "stupid mutt." He mumbled.

Finally, they made it to the den. Koga allowed Amaya to enter first. She smiled and was about to enter when a giant bird flew out.

"Ah!" Amaya cried out, falling backwards into Koga's arms.

Koga looked at the giant bird and gasped, "birds of Paradise?"

"Birds of what?" exclaimed Amaya confused and jumping out of Koga's arms, "what the hell is going on? I hope this isn't your daughter!"

Koga growled, "of course not moron! This is my mortal enemy! The birds of Paradise! I thought we killed all of them…"

Amaya snorted, "apparently not!" she began to run away, however, there wasn't much spaces to run when on top of a mountain. Koga yelled out to her to duck but it was too late. The bird pounced on Amaya and clung onto her shoulders with its claws.

"Help!" she screamed out, dangling in the air as the bird began to take flight.

Koga jumped up and tried to scratch the demon with his claws, but couldn't get high enough.

"Damn!" Koga cursed, watching the bird fly away with Amaya.

--------------------------

Meanwhile, back at Amaya's house, everyone was going frantic. They had all searched around the house but could not find Amaya. At last, Inuyasha decided to do something.

"We need to split up and look for her." He suggested, looking around at everyone, "I'll go south with Kagome. Miroku will go east, Sango will go west. And, Takashi, you can go North. I know we can find her if we look farther out."

Everybody nodded and left. As instructed, Miroku went east, Sango went west and Takashi went north. However, the one that would find Amaya would be Takashi. The ones that would find Koga in his den would be Kagome and Inuyasha. On the other hand, Sango and Miroku would meet someone they couldn't believe to be alive…
