Disclaimer: I do not own anyone from Inuyasha, except I do own Kazel and Wonton (my nickname for Wonton: wonton soup: like the soup with the dumplings). That makes me happier.

CHAPTER 8:

Koga Joins the Chaos

"What do you mean CAPTURED?" Koga whirled on Inuyasha, "You! This is all your fault, dog-face!"

"Me?"

"Yes, you!"

"Hey. If I could have stopped the stupid lizard, or whatever the hell it was, in the first place, Kagome would still be here. By the way, where were you when she was captured, wolf-breath? If I was so bad, why weren't you here to protect her?"

"Shut up you, mutt!--- What lizard?"

"You can't make me!"

"INUYASHA! STOP IT!" Sango yelled to make sure that the other yelling was stopped.

"Unfortunately, Kagome isn't here to make you stop…" Shippo muttered.

"What did you say, runt?" Inuyasha shot back at Shippo.

"What LIZARD?" Koga continued to demand the identity of said "lizard".

"Kagome was captured by a dragon demon." Miroku bluntly explained.

"WHAT! How could you let this happen?"

"We tried to stop it."

"Well, it's obvious to me that you didn't do enough! You should have killed the damn beast when you had the chance!" Koga ranted, "That's the last straw!"

"Why is he mad? He wasn't even there!" Inuyasha stated.

"Butt out, dog-face!"

"Excuse me, Koga, but why do you hate dragons so much? You don't…" Sango asked.

"Why would you, a human who kills demons like me, even care?"

"I was just… curious…"

"I believe we would all like to know," Miroku added.

Koga glared at them before turning away. But before he left, he said: "The dragons have killed many wolves. To them, we are just prey and an easy meal… So, for Kagome, and my comrades, I will slay this dragon!" He then left in his usual flurry of wind and dust.

"Well, that sure explains a lot," Shippo said after Koga left.

"I should think so," agreed Sango

Inuyasha, who seemed not to be perturbed by Koga's interference at all, announced, "Alright, it's decided!"

Sango and Miroku stared at him in complete and utter astonishment, "What!"

"Nothing's decided!"

"We'll kill the dragon and save Kagome! I'm not gonna let some filthy wolf beat me to a fight!"

"Personally, I just think he's jealous that Koga's going to rescue Kagome…" Miroku whispered.

Inuyasha glared at Miroku, Shippo and Sango as they nodded in agreement.

"I'm not jealous of that wolfish scum!"

"Right… you're not jealous at all…" Shippo muttered sarcastically noticing the way Inuyasha acted towards Koga and the affection he showed toward Kagome all the time.

Once again ignoring Shippo's remark, Miroku became thoughtful, "But I wonder if there isn't something more behind all of this?"

"What do you mean? Do you think Naraku could have something to do with this dragon demon kidnapping Kagome-chan?"

"I'm not quite sure, but—

"If that's right, then we should get going! Now!" Inuyasha demanded with resolve.

Author's Note: Sorry about Koga's abrupt appearance. I just thought it might be interesting to add him into the mix. Anyways, I thought that I would finish this story after Red Snow had been completed. But I wanted to make sure I had no other chapters lying around. Hence Chapter 8 of Kazel: The Dragon Demon was added before the final chapter of Red Snow. I hope you all enjoyed it! Reviews and Flames are welcome!
