I had stopped the bleeding on Koga’s arm, but he was still really weak. I placed his head on my lap. I looked up to watch InuYasha fight the bird. InuYasha pulled back his sword as the bird swooped towards him.

“Wind scar!” He yelled. The bird was ripped into a million pieces द्वारा the powerful attack. InuYasha landed lightly on his feet about ten feet away.

“Well,” he turned to face Koga. “Now that I’ve taken care of the giant pigeon, I can take care of the fleabag.” He pushed through the crowd of भेड़िया men and stopped. He stared at Koga and me with a look of complete horror on his face. Koga opened his eyes and groaned.

“You trying to hit me while I’m down, mutt face?” He stood up.

I grabbed his arm. “Don’t, Koga. You’re hurt pretty badly.”

“No, I can take on this half breed any time, any place.”

“Fine then, lets finish this right now.” InuYasha started to walk towards Koga.

“InuYasha, I’m really sorry for this,” I said. “Sit” InuYasha slammed into the ground.

“What did आप do that for?” he yelled.

I ignored him and turned to the भेड़िया pack. “Take Koga and get out of here. Now!”

“Okay, we will,” They कहा as they ran back towards the cave.

InuYasha was in my face, glaring a me. “You let him get away! Why were आप helping him?” he demanded.

“He protected me.” I said, staring calmly back at him.

“Protected you! He kidnapped you.”

I could feel myself starting to tear up. I turned away and started to look for the jewel shards from the Bird. I heard InuYasha stomp away. I glanced over my shoulder to see him sitting on the edge of the cliff, facing the sunrise.

I found the jewel shards and everyone but InuYasha gathered around me.

“Are आप okay, Kyoko?” Sango asked.

“No,” I replied. “I don’t understand why InuYasha was yelling at me for helping Koga. Koga protected me from being eaten द्वारा his pack so I figured that I owed him for it.” I wiped a rogue tear as it fell down my cheek.

“You know,” Kagome said. “I think it was because he was REALLY worried about आप and I think he got a little jealous. आप should go talk to him.” I nodded and walked over to sit अगला to InuYasha.

“Hey,” I said, sitting down. InuYasha turned his head away, ‘I’m sorry that I worried आप so much and I want to thank आप for saving me.”

“Whatever. I bet आप would have liked it if I didn’t दिखाना up at all.”

“What?” I was confused.

“All Koga had to do was say a few sweet words and आप were hooked.”

“Hooked? Are आप jealous because आप think that I like Koga?”

“No!” He stood up. “That’s stupid. Why would I be jealous? I don’t want to talk about this anymore.” I smiled.

“So,” InuYasha said. “What happened between आप two?”

My mouth dropped. “Did आप really just ask that?”

“Oh no,” Kagome कहा from behind us.

I stood up, my eyes was filled with pure rage. “What is wrong with you! Why would आप even ask me that! I have so self respect आप know!”

“I was just asking आप don’t have to bite my head off for it.”

“You are such a jerk!”

“If I’m such a jerk,” he yelled. “Why do आप keep coming along. We were fine before आप got here and besides I’m getting tired of rescuing आप all the time.”

My eyes changed from fury to a mixture of hurt and anger. “I see.” I said, calmly. I turned to Sango. “Sango, may I borrow Kirara?”

“Um, sure. What for?”

“She misses her भेड़िया boyfriend already.” InuYasha mocked.

I turned towards him. “No! I’m going home, stupid! Are आप happy now? आप are such a jerk!”

I jumped on Kirara and headed towards the sun. I could hear Kagome calling my name, but I ignored her. As soon as we got out of sight I burst into tears.

“Why does he have to be so mean?” I asked Kirara, needing someone to talk too. I cried all the way back to the well.

“Thanks Kirara. Now go back to Sango.” I jumped into the well. When I climbed out on the other side, it was the middle of the night. I walked slowly towards the house. Mother opened the front door.

“Kyoko! Welcome back, dear,” she said, hugging me. I smiled slightly and walked straight to my bedroom. I plopped down on the bed, not bothering to change clothes. My eyes closed and I slowly drifted off to sleep.
