A/N: Hey Everyone! Just wanted to say that I love you all for reading this, and that you all made my day. Shout out to alaskan anime gal, XxHell's kittyxX, NissaTengou, Hatsune MIku And Vocaloid, and Sesshomaru's Cami! You guys keep me going! Enjoy!


I woke up to Koga shaking me awake. I looked up and saw that Kagome was up to. It was Shippo. Was it already time to try to escape? I got up and followed Shippo's lead. It didn't take long for the other demons to learn of Shippo's trick, and soon began their pursuit of us. Kagome grabbed a javelin, and ran out the waterfall along with me and Shippo, but we quickly came across a cliff.

"Shippo, I want you to take Kazumi and get InuYasha." She told Shippo.

"I can't leave you!" he argued.

Kagome's kindness was going to get her killed. I faced both of them, and pushed them off the edge, Shippo first. That gave him enough time to transform and catch Kagome. I looked over the edge. Boy was she surprised. A demon tried to use a chain to catch them, but I used the javelin Kagome dropped to stop him.

"Great! Now two got away! When I'm done with you-" the wolf was interrupted by Koga.

"What? What will happen when you're done with her?" he asked sarcastically.

The wolf held its tongue. Koga examined me.

"You're my woman."

"Whoa, wait, what?" I asked. What the hell?! He claimed Kagome as his woman. He can't have two! That's being greedy, and then neither of us consented to that!

"You can't claim me!" I told him.

He pulled me closer to him. Gosh he has pretty eyes… Now's not the time for that. I pushed myself away, winded my hand back, and slapped him. If he was going to act like a Miroku, I would give him the same response I gave Miroku.

"You already claimed Kagome! You can't have two!" I yelled at him.

"She slapped Koga." Someone whispered.

"She's going to die."

Koga felt his cheek, and smirked at me.

"You'll bear strong children." He told me.

What the F#* %! I became a sack of potatoes in his eyes, again. As he started back to the Wolf Lair with me on his shoulder again, I started to fuss.

"I can only take so much, even from you."

I stopped. That was the most serious I have ever heard Koga. Once we were back at the base, Koga entered the waterfall in a way that didn't get me wet, at all. He placed me down gently and sat down with me. The wolves that were already inside the cave left to give me and Koga some privacy.

"How did you know about my plan on the mountain?"

"Lucky guess." I said, reluctant to talk to him. A bag of spuds doesn't talk.

"I'm serious. You went out of your way to get that mutt out of the way of the first group. My wolves told me that."

"Let's just say that I know things, a regular human shouldn't."

"Do you know where the jewel shards are?" he asked.

I knew he was talking about the Birds of Paradise. I hadn't really thought this part out when I threw Kagome off the cliff… I had to tell him. If I don't, I won't regroup with InuYasha, and those hellish birds won't be eradicated. Who knows where their shards might go?

"In its mouth." I said with less ferocity in my voice.

He gazed at me for a moment, and then helped me stand. I began to cough, and he patted my back lightly to help me out of it. Though I knew that his gesture didn't help at all, it was the thought that counted.

Next thing I knew, we were in the middle of the battle. Koga had left me with two of the wolves, and started to ascend the mountain. After seeing all of the bloodshed, it reassured my guess that the anime was not 100% accurate about the scenery. This was a lot worse. I don't want to describe it. Yes, there were bones of wolves picked clean everywhere, but there were also half eaten bodies scattered everywhere. Entrails were littered throughout the "battlefield" along with severed limbs. I thought the village was bad when it came to the scent of blood. The rocks themselves were stained crimson and reeked of days', weeks', and months' old along with the new blood being shed at the very moment.

What was taking InuYasha so long? He had to come because of the jewel shards, I know, but whywas he taking his sweet time? At this rate, he might get here after everything's been said and done. Oh, NOW he wants to show up. I felt like staying where I was, but after my head almost got torn off my body, I decided to move.

"Kazumi, don't you EVER do that again!" Kagome scolded me once she saw me making my way toward them.

I winced "Yes, Mother." I turned to Miroku. "Could you get rid of those birds, please?" He nodded and used his Wind Tunnel and wiped the sky clean of them. The wolves were astonished by how easily Miroku dealt with the birds. I was astonished by how he was able to watch all those bodies get sucked in as well, without being disgusted. Koga seemed to finally see InuYasha and decided to yell.

"DON'T TOUCH MY WOMEN!" he yelled. Kagome and I stared at him in utter shock. What is wrong with that guy?

"Did he just say women," Miroku asked, "the plural version?"

"Yes, women! I've claimed them!"

"I said I wasn't your woman!" Kagome yelled at him.

"And I said that you can't have two! That didn't mean I wanted to be that ONE!" I yelled, not giving a truck about my cold or sore throat. "KOGA, WATCH OUT!" I screamed, getting him on alert, but I was too late. The largest Bird of Paradise caught him by the arm.

Koga killed the brother of the bird, and kicked his way out of its teeth. InuYasha then decided to help out and finished the bird. And that is how they made the Birds of Paradise go extinct. When Koga got down from the mountain, I went over to help him. I somehow ended up with him in my lap. I couldn't help the drop of sweat that rolled down my forehead as I realized that I had switched places with Kagome as said person came over. She was perplexed as to why I was being kind to him.

"He's not that bad of a guy." I said. "You just have to get past his egotistical side."

Koga smirked. "Soon enough, I'll get you thinkin' of me as the best thing that can come into your life."

Ayame would have a lot to deal with. "Fate has chosen differently." I said, and gave him a sisterly peck on the forehead. I hate to admit it, but he was like that idiot younger brother I never had. After InuYasha's freak out, Koga wanted to stand up and fight him. After I gave him a light smack upside his head, Kagome and I got him out.

"Why did you defend him?" InuYasha asked Kagome.

"He was weak, and you were trying to fight him." Kagome responded.

I had already started to walk away.

"OH! So I guess you are his woman!"

"Did you not hear us when we said that we weren't?!"

Did she not notice that he wasn't talking about me?

"The way you act says the exact opposite!"

"DO YOU THINK WE'RE THAT TYPE OF GIRLS?" Was that correct grammar? "FINE THEN!"

Kagome took the jewel shards that the BoP dropped and took me by the hand, surprising me. She stomped over to Sango, basically dragging me along with her.

"Sango, can we borrow Kirara?" She asked.

"Sure."

Kirara jumped out of Sango's hands and grew into a larger cat. I petted her to gain some of her trust, before climbing onto her back at Kagome's beckoning.
