Koroshiya wasn't a Taka for nothing. Many had assumed that they would be able to fly under his radar and go undetected, but he should have known better. The first thing that he wanted to know was why he was out there watching them. 'The girl?' There was only one way to find out. Opening an eye, he looked over to see the girl staring intently into the fire, her arms wrapped around her legs. 'Let the fun begin.' He thought and smirked as he got up and made his way around the fire. He could feel his eyes following him as he sat next to the girl, Kagome.

Toga watched with narrowed eyes; what was he up to, sitting next to his mate? He almost let out a growl when the male took off his cloak and draped it over the girl. Then he had the audacity to rest his arm across her shoulders! He got up with the intent to put a stop to it but froze.

Kagome smirked wickedly to herself; really the nerve of some men. 'No, both men,' she amended. To think she would welcome such attention from a stranger. Then again, she did have an audience, did she not? Should she not perform to entertain- but of course she should! Oh, and did he ever have it coming. 'Payback is a dish best served cold.' She gleefully leaned into the warmth that Koroshiya exuded.

Koroshiya gave a slight smirk at his victory, which grew wider as he felt a pulse of anger hit him. 'Touchy!' Well, Well, Well. So this girl was the cause of their visitor it would seem.

He couldn't believe his eyes. His little vixen was letting this male touch her and she even seemed to be enjoying it! He let out a low growl as he stormed towards them. He was going to kill him slowly and painfully.

Koroshiya felt him coming and swiftly rose to his feet, putting himself between the two. He had no idea what the Inu was going to do and he refused to stand by and watch the girl get hurt. She was human and defenseless.

Kagome carefully got up and slowly backed away from Koroshiya, keeping him between her and Toga. She had really thought she would have had more time before he found her. To think, she had put in the effort to actually find spare clothes, even went as far as to climb out a window, and it all was for nothing. 'Dang dogs and their noses!'
