Chapter 7: The Attack on the Wolf Tribe

That morning Kikyo and Inuyasha got up early. They were going to try and suprise the wolf-demon. If they didn't come in stealthly they could get killed. The pair walked side by side to the camp. Then Kikyo drew her bow and Inuyasha got his fangs and claws ready.

Inuyasha's keen vision allowed him to spot the camp before Kikyo. He dropped down to his knees and Kikyo followed in suite. There was a guard mounted at the entrance to the demon camp. It was a puny little wolf-demon. It was asleep. Kikyo knotched and arrow into her bow and shot the guard through the head. Taking a deep breath of the refreshing morning air, she caught up with Inuyasha who had walked a bit ahead of her. He peered into the camp. Everyone appeared to be asleep. Kikyo drew a small dagger that she had found on the guards body. Then the pair slipped into the camp together.

Kikyo and Inuyasha covered there nose at the horrible smell that came to greet them as they entered the wolf-demon camp. There suprise attack was ruined when Kikyo coughed because of the smelling odor and one of the wolf-demons woke up. He began to shout "INTRUDERS! INTRUDERS!" He never said it a third time. Kikyo's arrow went threw his brain. He died instantly. It was to late, however, for a sneak attack. The demons shouts had risen praticuly the whole camp . They spotted the intruders and charged at them. Kikyo took down the first rank of demons that came toward her with her arrows. Inuyasha took the second. Kikyo had even managed to put up a small barrier around her and Inuyasha. They were doing pretty good for the odds to be against them so.

Over in his tent the wolf-demon chieftan stirred. He arose when he realized that something was going on outside. His mate had also arisen. She looked around nervously.

Inuyasha and Kikyo had now managed to kill more than half of the demon camp. If anyone hit Inuyasha they would feel the sting of Kikyo's bow. If anyone managed to hit Kikyo they would feel the bite and tear of Inuyasha's fangs. Inuyasha was aware of the wolf-demon leader watching from a distance. Watching as his own teammates got slaughtered by the merciless pair.

The wolf-demon chief didn't really care about his men. He was stronger than all them put together anyway. They may be able to defeat his army, but they would never be able to defeat him. It wasn't until the last of his men was killed that he came down to fight. Inuyasha instantly recognised him. He pounced this time onto the wolf-demon. This time it was his fangs that savagely ripped the enemy open. Then the tables turned, however. With lighting swiftness the chieftan threw back his head in a wolf-like manner and bit straight at Inuyasha's neck. If Inuyasha had not moved he would have been dead. However, he dodged at the last second and ripped the chieftan's ear straight off. Slashing with his claws Inuyasha pinned the chieftan to the ground and was about to deliver the death stroke when the chieftan's mate ran out of her dwelling.

"Please don't kill my Koga." she yelled. She finally reached the fighting spot and tried to save Koga. Kikyo felt sad for the girl so she made Inuyasha release Koga. Koga suddenly wheeled on his mate,

"KAGOME I COULD HAVE HANDLED HIM MYSELF." Then he preceeded to slap her to the ground. Kagome covered her head with her hands and wailed, "Please don't beat me again."

Inuyasha could not stand to see girls picked on in his presence. He ferciuosly attacked Koga. Kikyo led Kagome to their cave. Kikyo knew that a fight to the death lay between Koga and Inuyasha and she didn't want Kagome to see it. When they got to the cave Kagome told Kikyo how Koga frequently beat her. If he got mad she got beat. Yet she still loved him for some reason. Until that is when he smacked her to the ground that very day. It was the final straw. She didn't love Koga anymore.

This was good news to Inuyasha because he came back and Koga was dead. There was however one problem. Now Kagome had nowhere to stay. Inuyasha and KIkyo finally agreed to let Kagome join them. She was overthrilled at the prospect.

That night when Kikyo went had to sleep on Inuyasha's blanket and gave up her own so that Kagome could lay down. However, Had she have known what Kagome would do to her in the future she wouldn't have...
