Moving as fast as possibleuyasuyasha and the
rest raced through the forest towards Kouga. Miroku rode on Kilala’s back,
Shippo sat on Ebony’s back and Inuyasha and all the cheetahs with them were
running at the speed of light. Surprisingly enough, Ebony was able to keep up
at a steady pace. They came to a fork in the road, and Inuyasha, recognizing
the area, began to turn right, towards Kouga’s den. Ebony barked and Inuyasha
stopped.

“She said we’re not going to his den. She knows exactly
where Kouga and Kagome are,” Shippo said.

Inha cha cursed under his breath again, knowing what they
were risking going to Kouga and Kagome's mating den, but he kept silent and
went anyway. They should be done by now
anyway. Especially since Kagome's a human.

So after about seven miles of running they came across a
dark entrance to a massive cave. Inuyasha stepped into the entrance of the
cave, his eyes immediately adjusting to the darkness. He sighed, seeing all the
different pathways that could be taken. This cave was almost an identical
replica of a maze and Inuyasha knew that’s how Kouga wanted it.

Inuyasha felt somng png push his leg and he looked down to
see Ebony nudging him forward with her head. Inuyasha knelt down next to her.

“You know exactly where they are in there Ebony; it would
take me forever to find them. I think it would be best if you went to go and
get them.”

Not expecting her to understand him Ebony barked and took
off into the cave, disappearing in the blackness of it. Inuyasha stood and walked
out towards the rest of the gang.

“So what now?”

“We wait Miroku. That is one massive cave and even if Ebony
knows exactly where they it might take her a while,” Inuyasha plopped down onto
a boulder next to a stream and laid back, staring into the sky, “Besides I
wouldn’t be too excited to see them if I were you.”

Shippo jumped up onto Inuyasha’s stomach and waited for a
few minutes just in case Inuyasha was going to swat him away. But Inuyasha just
sat there.

“Why shouldn’t we be excited to see them Inuyasha? I want to
see Kagome and Kouga!” Shippo said hopping up and down.

Inuyasha placed a hand on the kit’s head to stop him from
jumping, “Because, they don’t want to be interrupted.”

“What are they doing?” Shippo asked.

Inuyasha frowned and lifted his head looking at Shippo.
Shippo quickly closed his mouth, knowing he was asking too many questions.

Kouga
quickly woke up when he felt a presence nearing them. Feeling around with his
senses, he felt Ebony coming near them. He sighed, calming his nerves. Then
another presence snapped his attention. It was a demon presence…a half demon
actually and it was close…really close…too close. Kouga looked down and sniffed
at the figure in his arms.

Oh my God…

Kouga lifted Kagome's hand and gasped at seeing claws. He
examined the rest of her and nearly fainted at what he saw. Kagome had half
circle ears that were beige, one of her fangs was hanging out and she had
tearstains. This is impossible. How did
she become a demon?!
