Disclamier: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the character from that show. If you find a character that you're not familar with then it is mine.

"Hey Koga," Ginta called after him as he ran off ahead like always. "Wait for us!"

"Give it a rest Ginta he won't slow down until Naraku's dead," Hakkaku replied running at his side. "Besides I thought I heard him say something about Kagome before running off this time."

"Meaning we better hurry if we want to stop the fight between him and Inuyasha," Ginta moaned.

"Yeah we better hurry."

About fifteen minutes latter they caught up with Koga who was already fighting with Inuyasha.

"What do you mean Naraku's dead? Don't you lie to me you insolent pup. I told you I would kill Naraku and that Wind witch Kagura with my own hands!" he exclaimed in his face.

"Well I guess you're outta luck you mangy wolf because I just killed Naraku and Kagura's also dead," Inuyasha bragged.

Kagome stepped between the two trying to smooth any ruffled fur, "Will you two stop it. It's over so lets not argue over it." She paused before turning fully to Koga. "Actually Koga we were coming to talk to you."

"What do you think of that puppy? She wants to be with me now that the danger is past, so why don't you run off some place and leave us alone," he boasted putting an arm around Kagome's waist.

"Koga, that's not why - -"

"You keep your filthy paws off of her you mangy wolf," Inuyasha exclaimed drawing his Tetsusaiga.

"I see you won't give up without a fight," Koga said moving Kagome out of the way while getting into a defense position."

"Inuyasha," Kagome said in the all to familiar tone she used just before the one thing Inuyasha hated. "Sit," she said causing him to end up face down in the dirt. "Koga we came to ask for the jewel shards in your legs," she informed him her hand at her forehead massaging her temples trying to suppress the headache they were giving her.

"What, you want me to give you the jewel shards," he asked in shocked awe.

"Yes. I know it would be hard but we need to complete the jewel and those are the only two shards that we have left to gather," she responded hoping he would see that they needed the jewels.

"Well what about the one in the boy's back?" he asked pointing to Kohaku.

Sango noticed the gesture and stepped closer to her brother's side even though she had nothing to worry about but Kohaku took a step forward.

"Ah - - mister Koga?" he started. "I don't have a jewel in my back anymore," he stammered.

Koga just looked at him and then shrugged, by this time Inuyasha had pulled himself back up and sat Indian style on the ground across from the rock Koga had his back up to so that he could sit down. With a sigh he leaned over and took the shards out of his legs.

"Koga are you sure about this?" Ginta asked in shock.

"Yeah, with the Birds of Paradise gone I don't really need them. And with no more jewel shards floating around there wont be any super charged demons trying to take our land," he sighed. "Here you go Kagome," he said standing back up and walking towards her and placing the jewels in her hands. He kept a hold of her hand for a moment and looked into her eyes. "There isn't anything I could do to make you come with me is there?" he asked quietly.

She saw the look of longing and understanding in his eyes and felt some pain for him, and she wanted to soften the blow but didn't know how too. "I'm sorry Koga but there isn't." He nodded and then turned to Inuyasha. He had stood up and was glaring at his back since he had taken Kagome's hand in his.

With a little bit of an exasperated sigh he walked forward and pulled Inuyasha away from them and then in a low voice gave him a warning. "You're a lucky guy to have her love, but if I ever find out that you hurt her you'll have to answer to me, you got that."

"What's this all about?" Inuyasha asked a little confused.

"Look I know that she doesn't love me. I was hoping that I could change her mind but I'm not going to force her to come with me. She loves you and I want to see her happy. If she's going to be happy with you then I'll let her go. But she is still a member of my pack since the day she helped with the Birds of Paradise and saved Ginta's life. And you already know that I wont put up with anyone hurting a member of my pack," he finished with a slight growl.

Inuyasha looked at him as if he were crazy. If Koga was giving up the fight for Kagome there was no reason for him to be fighting with him. With a slight sigh that was mixed with aggravation and relief he said, "Don't worry about Kagome. I wont let anything happen to her." Inuyasha said it with such naked feeling the Koga nodded and then turned to the rest of the group.

"Well, we need to be heading off now. Bye Kagome, see ya around everyone. Come on Ginta, Hakkaku it's time to go home." With that he started off. His two closest friends said a quick goodbye and ran after him this time catching up quickly now that Koga no longer had the jewel shards in his legs.

"What did you two talk about?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha rejoined them.

"It was nothing," he insisted as he walked over to a nearby tree and jumped up into its branches. "It's almost sun down so we should stay here tonight," he said leaning back against the truck and almost instantly falling asleep.

Here's the first chapter, I hoped you enjoyed it. Please let me know what you think of it. Thanks
