Okay everyone here's the next chapter, I'm thinking that this will be a Kouga story but i'm still taking requests so just let me know. Remember I don't own Inuyasha just Mai and Rouga. Oh and here's a bit of Kouga action for you all. Please Review!

Chapter 3

I walk inside of Kaeda's hut after changing into the outfit the villagers gave me for doing chores.

The outfit is a short blue kimono reaching to the middle of my thighs with long sleeves reaching past my hands, on the right sleve is the kanji for hunter. My feet have traditional japanese sandals.

I look to Rouga as his right arm is being bandaged by Kaeda.

" Does everything look alright Lady Kaeda?" I asked concerned for Rouga

" Yes he be fine, you have done well to treat his wounds with the herbs ye found."

I smile lightly and sit next to her and Rouga, " How are you feeling young one?"

He nods his head lightly, " Yes Mai, Lady Kaeda has taken good care of me so I feel better."

" Good " I smile, " So Lady Kaeda what did you wish to discuss with me?"

Kaeda sighs as she finishes with Rouga's bandages, " Child ye be 500 years in the past, In the time of Edo Japan. "

I gasp at the revelation that she has provided me.

So the well must be a portal, so when I wish to I can return back through the well hopefully. Well i'll help Rouga get back to his tribe first. I can't leave him by his self.

" I see, well no matter i'll just have to stay here then. I must be getting Rouga back to his clan."

Rouga looks down with a sadden look on his face. " Well my clan was killed, by the demon called Naraku."

I look towards Rouga and pull him towards me and hug him. " Don't worry, I will help you avenge your clan. This Naraku will pay, mark my words Rouga."

" Child you must not go after Naraku, by yourself. He will kill you." Kaeda replies

" He shall not kill me. Worry not Kaeda, I am very skilled." I reply " Come Rouga lets start our search for this Naraku character."

Rouga nods

^ A few hours later ^

Rouga and I are traveling on a country road looking for clues as to were Naraku may be. From what I understand from Lady Kaeda, Kagome is traveling with a group that is also looking for Naraku. Unfortunately, she does not know where they may be so until we find where they are we will continue the search on our own.

Rouga stops smelling the air, " Mai I smell blood."

I stop looking towards him , " Where is it?"

" This way." He says running towards smoke in the distance, I follow keeping pace with him.

We reach a town littered with the bodies of the towns folk, and demolished buildings, burning. I bow my head and pray for people of the village. I look towards Rouga as I see him bowing his head as well. I wrap my arm around his shoulder and bring him closer, he then raises his head and sniffs the air.

" I smell wolves coming." He says getting into a fighting stance

I draw my scythe in my hands as what appears to be a twister followed by a group of wolves.

As the twister disperses I see a young man, about my age wearing a assemble similar to Rouga except his attire is brown. He has black hair with bright blue eyes, he's rather gorgeous. He looks towards me and gauges my stance along with Rouga. I look towards the young wolf who has become a little brother to me, as I see recognition on his face as his stance relaxes.

" Kouga!" Rouga exclaims smiling.

The wolf man smiles towards Rouga but still looks wary of me, so I sheath my scythe.

" You know this man Rou?" I ask

" Yes he's the leader of the southern wolf tribe." Rouga says

" Hey Ro, how have you been? Hows the clan?"

Rouga looks sadden I lean towards him , " They were killed by the demon Naraku."

Kouga looks angry at this news, " How! The Northern Wolf tribe is one of the strongest of the clans."

" Hey listen if he doesn't want to talk about it he doesn't have to." I exclaim

He looks taken back by me as he walks towards me with a strange look in his eyes. " And who is this Ro? She smells lovely." He smiles tilting my chin upwards to get a better look at me.

I scoff and take my chin away , " For your information, I am Mai and traveling with Rouga looking for this cursed demon to put an end to him."

Rouga laughs lightly as Kouga looks surprise. " She rescued me from a Salamander Demon that had a sacred jewel shard. She does smell nice almost like a wolf herself."

I chuckle, " I've gotten that a lot growing up, the wolf I have back at how absolutely loved me. Its a shame he couldn't come with me." I smile

Kouga chuckles at me, " Oh I see, well then how about you travel with me and my pack back to the southern wolf tribe. We will search for him together."

" I think we are doing fine by ourselves but thank you." I said

" Well at least let me travel with you for a bit can't let a woman like you get hurt." Kluge says

I can feel my blood start to boil, " Excuse me! I'll have you know I can take care of myself. " I exclaim pulling my sword like lightning and press it lightly against his neck, " I don't need a man to take care of me."

both Rouga and Kouga look surprised at how fast I moved the sword, I see both of them sniff the air. " The blade smells like death." Kouga says

I smirk , " This blade has been passed down my family for generations. It has said to be stained with the blood of a thousand demons." I reply taking it away from his neck

Kouga steps back and sniff again, " You smell of the water now, your smell has changed."

I shrug, thinking nothing of it as I start to walk away, " Come on Rouga we have a demon to catch, the demon that created this mess must be close by."

Rouga walks after me , " Bye Kouga! we'll see you later."

Kouga starts sputtering , " Hey wait! You can't just leave like that!"

I laugh as he walks after us.
