I do not own!
I read over the last chapter and I'm like "Wahhhhh!" I didn't realize it was that short! I'll try to make this one longer for y'all! Oh, and I'm so sorry for the lack of updates. I truly am. All of my first supporters came from this story. ;; I feel so guilty for not updating much.
Oh, and I just realized that I've been spelling Shippou wrong. I was spelling it Shippo. Oh well. Thank you for helping me, Sarah!
Review responses-
Thank you- rads, tylai, tiger, Mini Nicka, animemistress419, and Randomunit02 for reviewing.
Kostos- Well, I finally got it into my little brain that you are Sarah. I was so confused for a little while. Don't be too impatient, my little beta. You and your friends have to be patient with my lazy self.
Destiny- It is hard to believe that Shippou considers Inuyasha his papa. I updated! It wasn't exactly soon, but I did it.
KenshinOtaku- I'm glad that you didn't think that my ending was too bad. I personally thought it blew, but you gave me confidence that it wasn't the worst. Here's the update for ya.
viv- Did you review twice, or were their two vivs? Oh well. I'll take your advice into account. You did give me some inspiration. Thanks. Any ideas are always a help.
JoJo10-I know that I checked out one of your stories a loooooong time ago. I'll check them all out when I get the time. Thanks for the review. Your reviews help me get off of my lazy bottom and get some ficage done.
LazyLyndsay- You are a strange little reviewer. Thanks for taking the time out of your life to drop me a review.
Dragon Man 180-Yeah, Kag is slowly warming up to demons. I though Shippou was cute when he called Kagome his mom too.
Seida02- Good suggestions. They did inspire me, but I kinda branched off the Kouga thing. Thank you, and keep up the suggestions.
Inu-babe666-I'm glad that you think that it was a good addition to the story. I didn't quite update too soon, but I got the job done!

Inuyasha was up in a blink of an eye, standing protectively in front of Kagome and Shippou. "Who's there?"
A tall, young wolf demon with piercing blue eyes and a long furry tail made his way through the brush with a large smile on his face. "Well, if it isn't mutt-face gone human!"
Inuyasha made a sound akin to a growl. He cursed his weak human state, knowing that he couldn't win a battle in his predicament. "What do you want, Kouga?"
"To kill you, of course." His eyes gave a small flash of red, showing his lust for shedding Inuyasha's blood.
Kagome laid the sleeping Shippou carefully on the ground before going to Inuyasha's side, sending the wolf demon a heated glare. "You touch him and you're as good as dead, wolf."
Inuyasha gave Kagome a disbelieving look. His heart raced at the fact that she would fight on his behalf, but it also raced because he knew that she would get hurt in a fight against him. Kouga was extremely fast, and although he acted airheaded at times, he could be cleaver. "Kagome, stand back. This isn't your fight."
She stayed put, her muscles tight and ready to attack the wolf at any second.
Kouga's smile widened. What would be better than stealing his enemy's woman? She was quite good looking. He could always feed her to his tribe if he got bored with her...
Before anyone could see what happened, Inuyasha was thrown to the ground with a huge gash in his stomach and Kouga was holding Kagome by her arms, which he firmly held behind her back.
"So long, dog breath. I hope you die from blood loss."
Inuyasha tried to get up and lunge at him, but Kouga had already left, leaving a small tornado of spinning wind behind.
"Kagome!" he screamed in fear and frustration. He punched the ground, earning himself pain in his knuckles to go along with the pain in his belly.
He gingerly touched the spot on his stomach where Kouga's claws had ripped into him, and winced at the sharp spasm of pain that surged through his body. The cut was deep, and blood was spilling in a small fountain of droplets onto the forest floor. He looked over to check on Shippou, but the small kit was nowhere to be found.
Inuyasha tried to get up again, but fell down instantly in pain. "Damn my human form!"
Inuyasha seethed, angry with himself for being so weak and especially angry with Kouga for taking his Kagome. His Kagome? He was starting to get very possessive, wasn't he? "I just hope the sun comes up soon, or we'll both be in trouble."
-
Kagome watched the scenery blur as she was carried away. She tried to concentrate on making some kind of barrier or fire, but Kouga was going so fast that she was finding that using her powers was next to impossible.
Rage pounded through her veins, as it never had before. She was sure that the wound that the wolf demon had given Inuyasha was fatal, and would kill him if not treated quickly.
In only a couple of minutes, she found herself being flopped on a hay- strewn floor. After coming over a wave of nausea, she was able to see her surroundings. She was in a large cave that was currently holding at least a hundred wolves, and even more wolf demons. They were all giving her predatory looks, as though ready to attack her at any moment.
Kouga turned to his fellow demons, and glared at them menacingly. "She's not for eating-," He paused when they all gave groans of disappointment. "Yet." Their groans turned into loud whoops.
He turned to Kagome, his blue eyes looking into her brown. His eyes then slid down to her neck. "What's that thing around your neck?"
Kagome lifted her hands and touched the jewel, feeling its power radiating through her palms. She could concentrate now, and she planned to use it to her advantage. She took her hands away from the jewel and held them out, palms up. She allowed her rage to flood through her, feeding the magic within. Small, icy blue flames soon came from each fingertip, growing rapidly.
Instincts telling him to run, Kouga stepped back. His blue eyes wide in surprise.
Kagome's eyes burned icy blue with a malice that would have scared a demon a dozen times his size. The only thing that ran through her mind was how she had to get back to Inuyasha, and nothing was going to stop her. Not even a tribe of wolf demons.
"I told you that if you even touched Inuyasha that you were as good as dead." The balls of blue flame on her fingers, each larger than her head, expanded. "I don't intend on breaking my word."
She released the flames, sending the balls of fire in every direction. The whoosh and crackles of the flames, combined with the cries of pain and yelps was so deafening that she was tempted to run to a corner and cover her ears. She sprinted out of the cave, stepping over bloody wolf corpses and avoiding the panicked wolf demons as they ran in every direction.
Small rays of sunshine peeked out of the horizon and glazed across her face, giving her raven locks a golden shine. 'I'm coming, Inuyasha.'
- Shippou sniffed the ground for any traces of Kagome. He rubbed his head, finding that a small bump was starting to form.
He had grabbed onto Kouga's tail when the wolf had started to take off with Kagome. Although he had held on with all of his might, Kouga went too fast, and his little hands couldn't keep a good grip.
So, he had landed headfirst on the ground.
Finally catching Kagome's scent, the kit looked at the direction that it was coming from. It was still fairly dark out, only a small glimpse of the orange and yellow sun peeking out over the trees. He could tell that to woods got darker where Kagome had been taken. 'Her scent is faint. Kagome must be far away.'
His mind determined on reaching his new mom, Shippou puffed it tiny chest out and walked onward, into a more dense part of the forest.
The trees were all hunched over, as though trying to reach down and grab you. Shippou whimpered and started running faster, still following the trail of Kagome's scent, which only got stronger with every step.
After a while, he was sure that he was very close to where Kagome had been taken. He could clearly smell her, and the stench of many wolves. He looked up and saw a large cave that contained the smells. He wrinkled his nose in disgust, and was about to charge ahead, but there was a loud crack that rumbled the rocks beneath him followed by many high pitched yelps.
The kit's eyes widened in surprise. He looked at the cave entrance and saw Kagome run out. "KAGOME!"
She turned toward the voice and saw the little kit bouncing up and down in happiness. "Shippou!"
Kagome climbed down the rocky wall and ran towards the kit.
Shippou ran towards her too, and jumped into her chest. She hugged him tightly, but soon loosened her grip on the small fox demon. "How did you get here? Oh well, that doesn't matter. Shippou, you need to lead me back to Inuyasha. He's hurt."
-
"I don't know if we should be going into the woods when it's this late," said Sango in a quiet whisper. She wasn't all too thrilled at having to drag Kagome back again. She had a feeling that if she took her away from the half-demon that she had befriended for a second time, Kagome might never forgive her.
Miroku gave Sango a dry look, though she couldn't see it through the veil of inky darkness that surrounded them. "Kagome shouldn't have either, but now that she has, we have to find her.
"Well, how are we supposed to find her if we can't even see a foot from our faces?" Sango shifted the giant boomerang on her back, which felt heavier than normal because of her tiredness.
"I'll conjure some light with my staff when we get farther into the forest. I don't want to attract the villagers attention."
They heard the sound of the creek's waters and knew that this was the spot that they had been earlier with Kagome. Miroku held his staff out, conjuring a small ball of purple light. He grabbed the ball of light and held it up.
On the ground, right in front of them, was a bloodstained human. He was lying with his face in the dirt. He let out a small moan.
Taken by surprise, Sango gasped and backed away. Miroku, keeping his calm, collected mask, turned the human over.
Sango gasped again. "It's the hanyou from earlier, Inuyasha!"
Miroku inspected his face, which was coated with blood, and saw the same features of the demon Kagome liked. The only difference was the now black hair, clawless nails, and his dark, glassy eyes that were staring unseeingly up at them. "I don't know what happened to him. I know that since he's hanyou, he has a human night, and this must be the night. I can't sense Kagome anywhere. What ever it was that injured him must have taken her somewhere."
Sango's eyes watered at the thought of her friend being eaten by some demon. "What are we going to do?"
"We're going to go find her."
"What about him?" She pointed to the barely breathing Inuyasha. "We can't just leave him like this...Kagome would be heartbroken."
Miroku was about to tell her to leave the demon when a small ray of sunshine broke through the trees, and into his eyes, momentarily blinding him. He put a hand up to his head, shielding his eyes.
"Miroku! Look!"
He looked down, his eyes widening.
Inuyasha's hair was slowly turning from jet black to pearly white. His dull fingernails lengthened into razor sharp claws, and his dark violet eyes changed to a honey golden color.
Inuyasha slowly regained consciousness. He blinked owlishly for a few seconds, but when his memories came flooding back to him, he jumped up and latched onto the monk's robes, ignoring the pain in his stomach. "Where's Kagome?!"
