Koga was pissed. No, pissed didn�t even begin to describe how he was feeling. He had been disgraced by a half-demon. That damn Inuyasha. When Inuyasha managed to defeat Naraku, Koga lost his leadership position. He had sworn to avenge his fallen comrades with Naraku�s death, but the half-breed had beaten him to the prey. Add to that the fact that he knew Kagome loved Inuyasha, and that all the time he spent courting her (instead of seeking out Naraku) was wasted, it was a wonder the elders didn�t have him exiled. They might as well, for the life he lead now was one of misery�

Koga apprehensively entered the dimly lit cave. He had no idea why the elders wanted to see him, but he knew it couldn�t be good news. A messenger wolf met him at the entryway.

"Prince Koga, come this way," the wolf told him. The two walked down the path, taking numerous twists and turns until they reached the meeting hall. This cavern was enormous. There was an indoor waterfall at one end of the cave, falling into a large pond filled with decorative fish. Fresh air flowed through the cave from somewhere, fluttering the flames in the massive fireplace opposite the waterfall.

In front of the pond was a large stone table with intricate carvings on its legs and base. At this table sat seven wolves, all wearing hooded cloaks shading their identities from Koga. In the center of the table was a carving of a full moon. It was at this place that the head Elder was seated. In front of the table, a respectful distance away, sat hundreds of wolves and wolf demons representatives from all of the tribes.

"Wolf Prince Koga of the Eastern Wolves," one of the Elders started, "you know why we have summoned you here today, do you not?" Hushed whispers escaped several in the room, as well as a few indelicate snorts.

"No, I don�t," Koga replied. "What�s this all about?"

"You were called here because you have dishonored your pack," the Elder continued. The murmurs increased, and were supplemented with affirmative growls from several wolves.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Koga yelled. "I�ve never dishonored my pack!" Yells came from the seated audience at the young wolf demon�s audacity.

"Silence!" the head Elder demanded. "I will not have you speak in such a manner in my presence!" The room quieted.

"Wolf Prince Koga of the Eastern Wolves, who killed the fiend Naraku? The one who slayed half of your pack?" the head Elder asked.

"The inu-hanyou, Inuyasha," Koga replied, his disgust evident in his tone.

"And Wolf Prince, what were you doing when the half-breed was killing the beast?" the Elder inquired, already knowing the answer.

"I was protecting the priestess Kagome in the battle," Koga said, hearing the growls and snorts of disgust from his peers.

"And this priestess, she is the one you wanted to take as your mate, right? Where is she?" the Elder wondered.

"She has departed for her home country," Koga told him, his anger increasing as he was forced to relive her rejection.

"Why did she not say with you?" came the one question Koga didn�t want to answer as he refused to acknowledge the truth.

"She didn�t want to be my mate. She was in love with the half-breed, but thought it best to go home," Koga said dejectedly, the pain of her decision six months ago was still fresh.

"So, you were unable to defeat Naraku because you were protecting the priestess that you wanted as your mate but that wanted nothing to do with you?" the Elder surmised.

"Yes," came the response.

"This behavior is unacceptable and unbecoming of a Wolf Prince and a Wolf Leader. Not only were you denied vengeance for your slain comrades�who were killed because of your possession of shards of the Shikon no Tama�but you could not secure the mating of the female you pursued for two years," the Elder described. "You are unfit for leadership, and henceforth are removed from your position as Prince and Leader of the Eastern Wolves. A more suitable ruler will be chosen in your stead."

Koga was speechless. He couldn�t believe what he was hearing. They were going to take his tribe away from him. He would be reduced to a commoner. It was all that damn Inuyasha�s fault. He would have his revenge.

Growling low in his throat, Koga turned on his heel and made his way out of the meeting place.

~*~

That was over ten years ago. Koga had roamed the countryside aimlessly until he came across a small band of lesser nobles. Apparently they were incensed with Lord Sesshomaru and his mate, a hanyou named Inuyasha. The half-breed whore had produced several children, ensuring the Inu Youkai bloodline and their dominance in the west. They were plotting against the Western Lord, but Koga paid no attention to them. He finally knew where the half-breed was and he planned to exact his revenge.

Koga traveled to the Western Lands only to find word that the hanyou was no longer there. Apparently, he and Sesshomaru had gotten wind of the plots against them and the hanyou had left with their children. This new development delayed Koga�s vengeance by a decade.

~*~

Nine years later, Koga was mated to Ayame and co-chief of her tribe, yet he still had not given up on his revenge. He needed to prove to himself that he was better than that hanyou, and he would do anything to that end. On one of his seasonal treks outside of tribal territory, he ran into the Western Lord.

~*~

"State your business, exile," Sesshomaru demanded of the wolf. He had learned all about Koga�s removal as Prince and Ruler of the Eastern Wolves and he had no desire to waste valuable time that could be used for his mate on this worthless, pathetic excuse for a demon.

Koga was not happy about running into Sesshomaru, but if the Western Lord was this far from home, maybe he had a lead on Inuyasha. If so, Koga could possibly glean some information out of him. In order to do that, however, he would have to play it cool, which meant no overly aggressive maneuvers.

"Just passing through, Lord Sesshomaru," Koga stated, bowing in submission even though he did not like the lord�s haughty tone.

If there was one thing that Sesshomaru was not going to tolerate, it was insubordination. Koga knew it, and expected no less out of the Western Lord. Hell, he himself did not tolerate disrespect from any of the members of his (and Ayame�s) tribe. Koga was well below Sesshomaru on the royalty scale, even when he had his title and leadership position. Lord Sesshomaru expected no less than obedience and reverence from his subordinates at all times, and Koga was not about to do anything to make the Great Demon think he was not showing the proper respect. He did not want Sesshomaru to lash out at him.

Sesshomaru may be an idiot when it came to love, but he knew lip service when he heard it, and Koga was definitely paying him lip service. He knew full well that the wolf harbored a grudge against his mate (one more reason to get to his family as quickly as possible), so he would need to be careful in his interactions. Staring down the wolf, Sesshomaru couldn�t pinpoint any specific treachery, but he glared long enough so that the wolf would get the idea.

Myoga, quickly fearing an altercation, decided now was as good a time as any to sneak away from Lord Sesshomaru. Giving one last look at his Master�s mate, he hopped off into the forest, traveling in the opposite direction. Sesshomaru didn�t even acknowledge his departure, but Koga did and took note of the direction in which the flea was traveling.

"You are far from your home, wolf. Be sure to return quickly and remove yourself from these lands," Sesshomaru told him in his most deadly voice.

"Yes, My Lord," Koga taunted, immediately feeling a pressure around his neck and deadly claws gripped him.

"I do not like your tone, but I have more important matters to attend. Be gone from my presence," Sesshomaru threatened him. Koga wisely kept his mouth shut. Sesshomaru threw him to the ground and walked past him.

If he had bothered to look behind him, he would have seen a grinning wolf demon.

�Soon, Inuyasha, you will get what�s coming to you.� Koga thought to himself as silently followed the flea. It would be slow going, but he was sure the flea would lead to Inuyasha.

~*~

Sesshomaru realized Myoga had left not long after he resumed his travel. Honestly, he was surprised that the flea had stayed with him as long as he did. The demon was the biggest coward Sesshomaru had ever encountered. Truthfully, he was glad to be alone once again; the silence gave him time to reflect on all of the information he had just acquired.

His mate, the person to whom he was most intimately connected, was sick. Not only was Inuyasha sick, he was dying. For ten years, they had been apart. Sesshomaru had missed a critical growth period in all of their children�s lives, but especially with Izayoi and the youngest child, whose name he did not even know. He would have to make it up to them, all of them, when he saw his family again. Sesshomaru would never let anything come between him and his family once more.

�Except death,� a little voice whispered in the back of his head. The cold, hard reality of Inuyasha�s condition hit him. Sesshomaru might not find his mate in time to help him, and if that were the case, he would have to take care of the kids on his own. As arrogant and confident as Sesshomaru was, child rearing was one task he didn�t think he could handle alone.

Hoping it wouldn�t come to that, Sesshomaru increased his speed to Jinenji. He was wasting time.

~*~

Twenty-four hours after his skirmish with the wolf, Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands arrived at a humble hut in the plains of southeastern Japan. Striding purposefully to the door, he raised a fist to knock, but stopped when the door opened of its own accord.

On the other side of the door, a hanyou stood. He was grotesque and disfigured, and the scent of herbs clung to him, but there was wisdom in his eyes that rivaled even the greatest healers of the lands. It was for this reason that Lord Sesshomaru had sought him out�if anyone could make an antidote to his poison in his mate�s blood, this demon could. Standing outside staring at the hanyou, he was brought out of his musing by a soft voice.

"Greetings Lord Sesshomaru. Welcome to my home," Jinenji stated.

With those words, Sesshomaru stepped into the house of the one person who may be able to help his mate, the one person who could be Inuyasha�s savior. It was an uneasy feeling, one with which Sesshomaru was unaccustomed. He wanted to be his mate�s hero, but his pride got in the way all those years ago. Now, once again, his egoism balked at the idea of asking this virtual stranger for aid, but his inner demon shut it down.

Sesshomaru would do whatever it took to ensure the health and life of his mate, even if it meant eating crow.
