"Alright pup," Koga called out from the edge of the village. "You admittin' defeat or not?"
Inuyasha and Kagome met up with him, hand in hand per usual. Koga scowled at that but made no comment. They stood a little ways away and stood before him looking him squarely in the eyes. Clear blue eyes met with gold, each set and determined, prepared for the challenge ahead.
"I am not admitting defeat," Inuyasha spoke unwaveringly.
"Then let's start," he replied eagerly.
"What is the course?"
Koga looked puzzled at the question for he was ready to just run against him. He quickly thought one out and hastily related it to them. They nodded and Kagome quickly hugged him, pecking him on the lips.
"Come back quickly," she smiled.
He raised a hand to his lips, running them over the warmth left from her kiss. He blushed and quickly turned though Kagome giggled at that and his blush deepened. Koga grumbled his distaste and waited impatiently, shifting from side to side. Kagome him a little push and he hurried forward.
"Let's start," Inuyasa cleared his throat.
"Three...two..."
And they were off in the blink of an eye.
