Chapter 7: The Wolf Demon Tribe

As the night of the new moon continued, Inuyasha just moved himself farther and farther away from everyone. Shin was worried, but Kagome told her it was normal since he hated his human self.

"It's been three months and I've never seen him transform into a human. I only let Sango and Kagome know when I turned human, but he never told anyone. Kagome told everyone, but he hid from me. But…then…why….back at the pond…." Shin's thoughts traveled back to when Inuyasha had embraced her and said so many sweet things. Her face started to blush as she started at the fire. Miroku looked over and snapped her out of it. Shin had started being very open to Miroku telling him everything since he was a monk and there for counseling. He had become like her brother and he felt sympathy for her knowing Inuyasha might break her heart.

Kilala quick jumped up and transformed into her lion sized form with large fangs and growled at the cliff above them. A strong miniature tornado ran down from the cliff and appeared in front of them and as it faded a man appeared. He had tan skin, black long hair pulled back into a ponytail atop his head, and was wearing armor and wolf fur. He was a wolf demon and looked high up in their social classes.

"Hey Kagome. I heard Naraku found you and I came to make sure you are alright." The wolf demon took Kagome's hands in his and at her compassionately.

"Uh….. Thanks Koga, but he didn't come after me. He attacked our new friend Sh…." Kagome was interrupted as the black haired Inuyasha burst up in between the two facing Koga pissed off as hell.

"I told you to keep your hands off of Kagome you mangy wolf!!!"

"Shut up!!! I wasn't talking to you, you dumb mutt!!!!" the two boys started to fight and yell insults at each other like little children.

Shin stared at them with a blank face. "Are they always like that?" she asked Sango now completely lost.

"Yeah….it's pretty annoying, but no one can make them stop… not even Kagome." Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kilala all sighed at the fighting feeling sorry for Kagome.

"Koga…that name sounds so familiar…." Shin's mind traveled back to into her past once again.

A young Koga sat next to a small pond in the center of the northern mountains crying. Shin, who was his age of only 4 years old, sat down next to him.

"Aw….. don't cry…" Shin said on her hands and knee's trying to look at his face.

"But..." he sniffled and buried his face in his drawn up knee's. "But no one wants to be my friend because my father is so mean. They think I'm like him…." He kept crying as his tail wrapped around him for comfort.

"Shin smiled at him and said "I'll be your friend. I don't care if he's mean and you seem really nice."

"Koga looked up at her with tearful and shocked eyes. He wiped away his tears and smiled at her. "Okay…. My name is Koga."

"Hi Koga… I'm Shinsei." She said as she smiled at him from on her hands and knee's.

Shin's mind came back to reality and saw her childhood friends fighting. "KOGA!!!" she yelled as she stood to her feet staring at him. Koga stopped dead in his tracks at the familiar voice and looked around frantically.

"Now I've got you!!!" yelled Inuyasha ready to punch him to death with his human strength.

"SIT BOY!!!!!" yelled Kagome and a necklace of blue beads and dog fangs from under Inuyasha's kimono started to glow. He went head first into the ground and laid there in pain.

Koga looked behind Inuyasha as he fell and Shin became visible to him. "S-shin…sei….?" He stood there shocked then a big smile came over his face. "SHINSEI!!!"

"Koga!!" Shin smiled as she knew that he remembered her. Right as Inuyasha was about to get up Koga stepped on his head running to Shin. Koga hugged her fast, then his arm gently wrapped around her neck and he softly hit her on the head a few times.

"I can't believe it!! You sneaky little fox!!!" he picked her up and lifted her onto his shoulders then both of them began laughing.

Inuyasha stood up and everyone just stared at the two. "What the hell is going on!?" yelled Inuyasha at the top of his lungs.

Shin smiled down at him from Koga's shoulders. "After I ran away from Kikyo's village I met Koga and lived with his tribe for a year. We were like brother and sister, completely inseparable!!"

Everyone just stared at them like they were completely nuts then Miroku spoke up. "Koga have you seen Naraku Anywhere? He attacked Shin at a nearby village."

Koga put Shin down and looked at the monk seriously. "No… it's actually been calm here, but my wolves have been acting strangely. Every

time we enter the forest they start growling and barking at nothing."

"Mew….." Kilala looked around then transformed into her large form and hissed at the sky above them.

A strong wind came from no where. Koga covered Kagome quickly with himself. Then a giant feather appeared from the sky and a hand reached out, grabbed Shin's arm and started to fly away.

"SHIN!!!!" Inuyasha jumped up as far as he could towards her to grab her hand.

"INUYASHA!!!" Shin reached out her free hand as far as she could. As they both stretched they grabbed hold of each other.

"Tetsusaiga!!!!" he went to draw his sword with his free hand knowing himself it would not transform.

"Dammit…" said a voice from atop the feather. She let go of Shin scared of losing her life.

Shin and Inuyasha both fell through many trees. Inuyasha quickly grabbed Shin and covered her with himself. As they hit the ground Inuyasha hit first with Shin on top and rolled away from him. They laid on the ground for a minute stunned and unconscious. Inuyasha got up on his hands and knee's and held his head. He looked over to his right and saw Shin laying next to the rusted Tetsusaiga in its sheath.

"S…Shin…." His human body quickly gave out and he fell back to the ground. He forced himself up onto his hands and knee's again and in great pain he crawled over to the unconscious Shinsei. When he reached her he looked down at her. She had many bruises and cuts all over her face and body. He put his hand on her cheek and gently turned her head to face him.

He looked up and stared at their surroundings. "It looks like we landed a far ways away from everyone. I hope their alright…" he looked down at her again and his eyes opened wide when her eyes began to open.

"Huh…..? I…Inuyasha…..? What… happened?" she asked as she sat up slowly holding her bleeding arm. Then her eye's opened wide as Inuyasha hugged her tightly.

"I was so scared about loosing you…. I promise you….I will never let you go through that again…" said Inuyasha letting go of her and holding her at arms length. Shin just stared at him completely shocked at his actions. Her face then turned a dark crimson as he leaned in forward and kissed her on the lips. Inuyasha had closed his eyes while Shin sat there wide eyed and scared. He broke it slowly and she just stared at him shocked and nervous.

"Inuyasha…. but… Kagome…. you two….. love each other…." Said Shin her face going completely red.

Inuyasha only smiled at her then passed out onto the ground. in front of her.

"Inuyasha!! We've got to get to somewhere sheltered…but he's still human…I could kill him if I'm not careful." Shin saw his sword next to her, so she picked it up, put it in her belt and thrusted Inuyasha's arm over her shoulder. She held that arm tightly and held his body up against her side. She walked through the darkness of the forest dragging his feet and him away from where hey had fallen.
