I don't own anything. I only own Kia, Catsou, Maru, and myself. Koga123 owns Koga and herself.
Chapter 3, Maru
"Three Jewels... Two people trying to kill us. There must be still more out there." I thought. "Ashley, you're doing it again." Kia sighed. "Huh?" I touched back down to Earth. "You where spacing out." Kia sighed again. "Sorry. There's just too much going on." I said. "I know. I've heard that same excuse 6 times already." Kia said. I sighed. "Ashley..." Kia said. "Yeah?" I looked at her. "If you think about this any longer, your head's gonna burst!" Kia said. "Heh." I sort of laughed. "No, really. It'll be fine." Kia smiled, patting my arm. "Hey, Ashley. Kia." Koga said, walking in the room. "Hey, Koga." I said. "Koga." Kia sighed. "Re- Remember what happened in Dasou's house?" He asked Kia. "Yes, but Ashley doesn't know. Plus, I don't want to talk with you right this second." Kia said. "What the freak's going on?" I asked. "Nothing." Kia sighed, pushing Koga out of the room, and shutting the door. "Whoa-whoa-whoa! Wait a second! Something's going on, and I want to know what!" I said. "Nothing's going on." Kia said. I gasped. "I know what happened!" "No! I-I mean, nothing happened!" Kia said. "He kissed you!" I said. "No." Kia looked at me like I was stupid. "Oh." I said. "I'm telling you, nothing happened." Kia said again. "I'm asking Koga. He'll tell me. And if he doesn't, Catsou will." I pushed by Kia and into the living room. Koga was sitting on the couch, his hand over his face. "Koga? What's wrong?" I asked gently, sitting by him. He looked up at me. "Nothing." He sighed. "Nothing at all." "What happened with you and Kia? What happened to make her so mad, and you so sad?" I asked him. "I-It doesn't matter." Koga said. I sighed. "Catsou in her room?" "Uh, I think." Koga said. "Kay." I walked to Catsou's room. "Catsou? I need ta ask ya something." I called, walking in. "What?" Catsou asked, looking up from Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix. "What happened with Kia and Koga?" I asked. "Would they tell you?" Catsou asked. "No." I sighed. "Ok then. They don't want you to know." Catsou started reading again. "Man!" I groaned. "Ashley... It's their problem." Catsou said. "Kia made Koga so sad somehow... I want to help him." I said. "Well, Ashley, you can't. It'll just make the whole thing worse." Catsou explained. "I guess." I walked out of the room and I sat by Koga. "Ashley, I told you. It doesn't matter." Koga sighed. "No, I just came here to sit." I said. Koga looked at me. He sighed. "I know you. You still want to know. Want to know?" "Yes please." I said. "When I woke up I heard Kia saying that she still loved me. When I asked her about it... she yelled that she didn't." Koga said. I gasped. "R-really?" I asked, shocked. "You should know." Koga glared. "I-I had nothing-nothing at all- to do with this." I said. "I know that you've always hated me! You probably told Kia to stop going out with me, and with that Daemon!" Koga yelled at me. "K-Koga I-" I stuttered. "I know this is all your fault! I bet you work for Naraku." Koga said. "N-Naraku? N-Never!" I said. "I knew it. Wait until I tell Kia and Catsou." Koga said. "Koga! I-I don't work for Naraku!" I yelled. "Kia! Catsou!" Koga yelled. "I can't watch this!" I opened the Sliding Glass Door onto the balcony. I shut the door, and sat on one of the chairs, my head in my hands. "What's with all the yelling?" Kia asked, coming in the room. "Yeah, I'm trying to read." Catsou said, coming in too. "Catsou, Kia. You're best friend is doing something. Something you would not like." Koga started. Kia and Catsou looked over at me. "My, It looks like she's mighty depressed. Maybe I should-" Catsou started. "You shouldn't. She's been working for Naraku." Koga said. I looked inside, a tear rolling down my cheek. Kia and Catsou gasped. They looked back over at me. I looked away. "No... she can't be. She's our friend." Kia said. "Well... take just recently. She's the one that led us to Dasou's house." Koga said. "She isn't! You're just making this up." Kia said. Koga shook his head. "I wish." He sighed. Next thing I knew, Kia was out side with me. She shut the glass door. "Ash... Is this true? Are you really working for my father behind my back?" Kia asked me. "N-Never." I said. Kia sighed. "Should I trust you?" "Why would you ask? I would never work for your father. You're my best friend. I would never do that." I said. Kia smiled. "You're right. Why don't you come back inside?" I nodded and followed Kia back inside. "Kia, what are you doing? I told you-" Koga started. "Koga. I'd understand if you'd say that a cute guy one of us where going out with worked for my father. But one of our friends? I can't believe it! You made up lies!" Kia said to Koga. "This must be about getting me back for what happened." Kia squinted. "Fine. I was mad at you." Koga said. "Why'd you take it out on Ashley?" Kia asked. "She was one of your friends. You know, you hurt me so much!" Koga said. "Let's not talk about his now." Kia started walking away. Koga got up and grabbed her arm. He looked at her. "No, let's talk about it now." He said softly. Koga hugged her. "I'm so happy we met..." Koga whispered. Catsou and Me looked at each other. "Get off." Kia pushed him off. "Kia..." Koga's voice trailed off. "Koga. We're through! UNDERSTAND?" Kia yelled. "If you EVER touch me again..." Kia clenched her fist. She went into our room. Koga just stood there. "I'll talk to her." Catsou sighed. "No. I will." I got up and walked over to our room. I shut the door behind me. "Kia..." I sat down on the bed by her. Kia looked away. "Kia, it's OK to be mad. Or sad. Just let it out." I smiled. "Ashley... I... I don't know what to do." Kia said, her voice wavering. "I mean... there's this really cute boy right there... part of me says to go out with him... the other part of me pushes him away." "I know why." I said. Kia looked at me. "Why?" She asked. "I think it has something to do with your mother. She loved Inuyasha... and then she thought he betrayed her." I said. "Maybe." Kia said. "Kia... I want you to have the best. Koga may just be the best." I said quietly. Kia smiled. "There's only one thing you left out." I sighed. "If you don't go with Koga your stupider then Billy from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy." "That's better." Kia smiled. "Ok, ready to go face Koga? Tell him you're not really ready to date him?" I asked. "Sure." Kia and me went out side. Koga and Catsou where sitting on the couch together. Catsou was rubbing his arm, trying to cheer him up. Koga just sat there. "Koga? I need to talk." Kia said. Koga looked up. "Yeah?" He stood up. Kia looked at me. "Go ahead." I mouthed. Kia sighed. "Koga... I'm really not in a date sorta place right now. We can still be friends, right?" Kia asked. "Fine." Koga said. "Don't be mad." Kia said "Oh, no. I'm not mad." Koga said. Kia looked at him. Then, Kia hugged Koga. "I'm sorry." She wispered. Catsou walked over to me. "Is this the Kia I know?" She wispered. "I don't think so." I joked. "K-Kia? What are you doing?" Koga asked. Kia hugged him tighter. "I always loved you Koga. I never stopped thinking about you (Sound familiar?) when we moved. After the days went by... we drifted apart." Kia wispered. A tear rolled down her cheek. She let go of Koga. "So does that mean you'll go out with me now?" Koga asked. "Yeah." Kia smiled. "Thank you!" Koga thrust his arm up in the air.
Couple of Days...
"Kia... what happened to 'not ready to date?'" I asked. "I-I have no clue. It- It just happened so fast. I felt so sorry for him." Kia explained. "I can't believe it!" Catsou exclaimed. "What?" I asked. "They're back together! I wonder if Sesshomaru is going out with someone else..." Catsou wondered. "What do you care. You've gone out with a lot of boys." I said. "Yeah." Catsou agreed. "Catsou... don't think Sesshomaru won't know about it. Koga is Sesshy's uncle." Kia said. "Two things. One, only I can call him Sesshy. Two, please tell Koga not to tell him." Catsou pleaded. Kia laughed. "I won't." "Hey, where is Koga anyway?" I asked. "No clue. He said he was going out." Kia said. "Uh-oh." Catsou and Me said, looking at each other. "What?" Kia asked. "Going out." Catsou said. "More then one definition for that." "You really think-?" Kia asked. I nodded. "He wouldn't!" "He might." Catsou said. "Yeah. We don't know how boy's minds work. I mean, one name. Miroku." I said. "Yeah..." Kia and Catsou nodded. "Hey guys! I'm home!" Koga yelled, coming inside our room. "Hi. We where just talking 'bout you." I said. "So, where did ya go?" Kia asked. "No where." Koga said, walking away. "Clue #1, the 'no where'" I said. "I'm gonna talk to him." Kia said. She walked out of the room. Catsou and me went to the door and watched. "Hey, Koga?" Kia sat down by him on the couch. "Hm?" Koga looked at her. "I-I need to know." Kia sighed. "Know what?" Koga asked. "Know if you where out with someone else." Kia looked at him. Koga looked away. "O-Of course not!" He said. "I want you to look me in the eyes and say it." Kia said. Koga looked at her. "Of course not." He said in an unusual cold voice. "K-Koga? What's with you?" Kia asked. "How could you even think that?" Koga asked. "I-I-" Kia started. "I mean... we where supposed to trust one another." Koga interrupted. "It wasn't me that brought it up. It was Ashley and Catsou." Kia said. "Oh. And you trusted them? I can't-" There was a knock on the door. "Uh, I'll get it." I answered the door. "Uh Hi? Is Koga there?" A teen with Long Black hair was at the door. "Uh... hold on for a sec." I shut the door. "Who was it?" Kia called. "K-Koga?" I called. "Huh?" Koga's irritated voice answered. "T-There's a g-girl here to see you." I said. (This would be the time for a comical.) Kia gasped. "What? I don't know any girls!" Koga sprung up, and over to the door. Catsou and me went over to Kia. "You- You guys where right..." There was a tear in Kia's eye. "Boys. Ya never understand them." I sighed. "Hello?" Koga opened the door. "Koga!" The girl came in, hugging Koga. "One, Get off. Two, who the freak are you?" Koga pushed her off. "Koga, sweety-pie, It's me! Maru!" The girl said. "Maru?" Koga asked. "Maru?" Kia, Catsou, and Me asked. "Don't tell me you forgot the past day, and today!" Maru said. "Oh. I see you're with some friends. Here. My number, in case you lost it." Maru walked out of the apartment, closing the door behind her. Koga looked at the number. "Who was that?" He asked. He wadded it up and threw it in the trash. "You...lied." Kia said. "Huh? No! I didn't even know her." Koga said. "Kia, Catsou. I think we should go biking." I said. They nodded. We walked out of the apartments.
When we came back...
"Does this mean you guys broke up?" Catsou asked Kia. We opened the door. "Yeah, I guess..." Kia's voice trailed off as we looked at the apartment. It was trashed, a true sign of a struggle. "What happened? Koga! Are you there?" I yelled. "H-Help." A small, weak voice called from my room. "Koga!" Catsou, Kia an Me ran to the door in my room. I gasped. There was hair; and lots of it! It covered the whole room. That girl, Maru, was standing on top of some of it, and below her, Koga. The top of his Fur Of The Fire Rat was over in one corner of the room, and there was blood staining his white Kimono. "Koga, are you ok?" I asked. I started walking to help him, but when my face touched the strands of hair, it cut me. "Ow." I backed up, and touched where I got cut. "Ashley, how'd that happen?" Catsou asked. "You can't see it?" I asked. "See what?" Kia asked. "The Hair!" I said. "They can't see it." Koga's weak voice called. "Why?" I asked. "Demon Hair." Maru answered. "You! Let Koga go!" I yelled. "Only one thing can kill me." Maru said. "What? Tell us." Catsou said. "Arrows. Arrows of Naraku's daughter." Maru smiled evilly at Kia. Kia took a step back. Catsou and Me gasped. "Kia, shoot her!" I said. "No. Koga got himself into this mess, he can get himself out." Kia said, looking at Koga. Koga looked back at her with large eyes. "Looks like he's a waste." Maru said. With a wave of her arm, Maru sent the 'Demon Hair' as she called it towards Koga. It held him up. (Two hold his arms, two hold his legs) Koga groaned. With another wave of her arm, two strands of demon hair wrapped around Koga's neck, choking him. (Kinda got this from what Yura did with Kagome) "K-Koga!" I yelled. "Kia, it's up to you whether or not Koga will live... will you let him die?" Maru asked. Kia looked away. "Kia! You can't let him die!" Catsou yelled. "He's a half-demon." Kia said. Maru smiled. "He's dying and his own girlfriend doesn't care." She laughed. "I'm not his girlfriend!" Kia yelled. "K-Kia. Help." Koga choked out. "You got yourself into this!" Kia yelled. "He doesn't even know me." Maru laughed. "Huh?" We where confused. "It was all a trick." Maru laughed. Kia gasped. Koga stopped struggling. "Koga!" Catsou and Me gasped. "Good." Maru called back the Demon Hair. "Koga!" I tried once again to go towards him, but again, I got cut. I looked at Kia. "Kia! You're so selfish! Koga didn't even know her! Now he's dead! Happy?" I yelled. Kia just stood there, head lowered. "No." She said. "Don't worry. She'll die." Kia grabbed her bow and an arrow. "Kill me if you will. My job's done." Maru smiled. "If you wish." Kia said as the tip of the arrow glowed purple. "No! You can't be a Priestess! You're Naraku's daughter!" Maru's eyes where wide. "And Kikyo's daughter." Kia shot the arrow. It hit her in the upper chest. "Good shot." Catsou said. As Maru fell the Demon Hair disappeared. "Koga." I said. I ran towards him, Kia following me, and Catsou following her. "He's not breathing!" I said. "Really? What a surprise." Kia said. I glared at her. "This is your fault!" I said. "No, this is your's and Catsou's fault!" Kia yelled. I gasped. "I-I guess it is." I said. I lowered my head. "I-I'm sorry." I wispered. "Don't be." I scratchy voice said. "Huh?" I looked around. "Over here." I looked at where the voice was coming from. "Koga!" I said. "Yeah?" He smiled. "Koga." Kia nodded. "I'm so glad you're Ok!" I hugged him. "Get off." He said. I let go. "How'd you survive?" Catsou asked. "My healing powers. Unless someone takes them away I will slowly heal myself." Koga smiled. "I'm still so happy you're ok!" I hugged him again. He pushed me off. "What do I have to do, get a restraining order?" He asked. I laughed. "I guess." "Koga... I'm sorry I didn't believe you." Kia said. "It's ok." Koga said. "Hey... what's that?" I pointed to where Maru had been. "I don't know, It's too dark. Turn on a light." Catsou said. Kia nodded. She got up and turned on the light. We all gasped when we say what laid there. "A-Another Jewel?" Catsou asked. "Wired color." I said. Weird it was. It was a mix of Light Green and Dark Green. Of course beside it was a tablet. "I'll translate the tablet." I said.
Less then 1 hour later...
"What's it say?" Kia asked. "'The Jewel of 2 Souls is the 2nd weakest Jewel.' Wow. what a cowinky-dink. 'Inside this Green Jewel there is rumored to be a calm forest. Yura of the Demon Hair owned this jewel.'" I read. "Wow. What a surprise." Koga rubbed his neck. "How do we know this is the real Koga...?" Catsou asked. 'What? The joke already? Man... what was my line?' I thought. "Oh. I know one way to tell. Kia." I said, remembering my lines. "Oh. Yeah." Kia said. "What's going on you three?" Koga asked, raising his eyebrows. Without another word, Kia kissed Koga. "What the freak!" Koga asked. We all laughed. "Yep it is him!" I said. We all laughed again. "You guys have a cruel sense of humor." Koga said. "We made that up when you two first got together in Oklahoma. We thought it was hilarious!" Catsou said.
We are gathered here today to say that Chapter 3 has departed. We are all very sad...wait... who wrote this? Stupid Crap. Anyway, chapter 4;
"Hey, Catsou guess what?" I asked, sitting down at the table. "What?" Catsou asked. "I made a new friend today." I smiled. "Great! You're first friend here in this strange new land close by Canada." Catsou said. "Yeah. Her name is Tiffany. I think you'll like her." I said.
