They reached the south edge of the village and the beginning of a deep forest. Tall trees and bushes were all that could be seen, except there was a small path.
 
“Kiki, stay close. Most demons in this forest don't like humans. Kyo, take up the back,” ordered InuYasha.
 
“Okay,” said Kiki and Kyo. Kiki walked a little bit faster to be two steps behind InuYasha and Kagome. Kyo slowed down a bit and took up the rear, keeping eyes, ears, and nose out for sights, sounds, and scents.
 
It was almost dark when InuYasha held out his arm in front of Kagome. He closed his eyes and smelled the air around him. Kyo did the same. They went ahead of Kagome and Kiki, still stiffing the air. Kyo had his hand on the hilt of his sword, which Kiki just noticed he had.
 
“Ah, Kagome, beautiful as ever,” said a tall, handsome wolf-demon. He grabbed Kagome's hands and kissed them. “Did you miss me?”
 
“Um…yeah…sure,” said Kagome. She smiled a forced smile.
 
“Ko-ga!” growled InuYasha. He stood between Koga and Kagome. “Stop flirting with Kagome and go home!”
 
“Settle down mutt,” Koga's eyes flickered to Kiki. “Who's that? Kyo's girlfriend?” Both Kyo and Kiki turned a shade of pink.
 
“N-No! I just met her!” said Kyo. “This is Kiki, Kiki, this is the wolf demon that has been madly in love with my mum since forever, and dad's always been jealous too.” He muttered so only Kiki could hear.
 
“What do you want Koga?” growled InuYasha.
 
“I smelt your stinky self, Kagome's scent, Kyo's scent, and another new scent. Just wanted to see who is was,” growled Koga. He stepped around InuYasha and took Kagome's hands in his again.
 
“Why did you chose that mutt instead of me, Kagome?”
 
“Are you looking for a fight wolf-boy?” growled InuYasha. He unsheathed the Tetsaiga.
 
“Koga, you need to stop flirting with my mother,” sighed Kyo. He folded his arms over his chest.
 
“Koga!” a young wolf-cub demon ran up to him. “The others need your help doing something important.”
 
“Alright,” said Koga. He kissed Kagome's hands. “Until next time Kagome.” He ran off with the little wolf-demon.
 
“That damned Koga. He doesn't know when to give up on you,” said InuYasha. He sheathed the Tetsaiga. “Come on, let's go.”
 
“Is he a demon to worry about?” Kiki asked Kagome.
 
“No, him and InuYasha just hate each other because of me,” said Kagome. “They haven't managed to kill each other yet.” They started to walk on again.
 
“Oh, okay,” said Kiki. “Are there any more demons I should know about? Good and bad?”
 
“Well, there's Shippo, a fox demon. He's good. Myoga (sp?), a flea demon. He's good too. Hachi, a raccoon demon. He's also good. Kirara, a cat demon. She's good too. Sesshourmaru, a dog demon and Jaken, some kind of reptilian demon, are bad. Sesshourmaru is InuYasha's half-brother. Put them in the same room and swords are clashing in a heartbeat. They can't find each other,” explained Kagome.
 
“Wow, that's a lot to remember. Well, not really, there's only two bad ones, that we might meet here right?” said Kiki. “This era is interesting. Full of lots of different things. It's amazing!”
 
“Get used to it. You might be here a couple weeks,” said InuYasha. He was walked ahead of them and didn't even look back at them.
 
“A couple weeks? But what about my parents? They'll be worried sick over me,” said Kiki.
 
“They'll file a missing persons report, but never find me because I'm not there!” She started to bite her nails. “I've never been away from home for more than a week. And when I do go back, what do I say when I get back? Like they'll believe me when I tell them I was in Feudal Japan!”
She knew she was babbling, but she didn't care. Her head spun. She fell to her knees and grabbed her head. Something was wrong. She felt sick and dizzy.
 
“Kiki!” she heard them yell her name over and over again. It was loud at first then got softer and softer until she couldn't hear or see anything.
 
“Is she going to be alright?” asked Kyo.
 
“She'll be fine. She's probably just scared, worried, and tired,” said Kagome.
 
“Are you two tired?” asked InuYasha. They shook their heads. “Okay, Kyo, piggy-back her.”
 
“And how am I supposed to do that without her falling off?” asked Kyo, turning a shade of pink.
 
“Well, I put rope in my bag,” Kagome said as she pulled out the rope. “InuYasha, help me. Kyo, get on one knee.” Kyo did and Kagome and InuYasha settled Kiki on Kyo's back.
 
“I still don't know how she's going to stay on,” said Kyo.
 
“Neither do I,” said InuYasha.
 
Kagome tied the rope around Kyo and Kiki. “Now she won't fall back.” She also tied Kiki's hands together in front of Kyo's neck. “There all Kyo has to do is hold her legs.” Kyo, about to complain, was interrupted by his father.
 
“Stop complaining. You like her, don't you? Just get over it and let's move on,” said InuYasha.
He turned around and started to walk off. Kyo turned a darker pink and followed.
 
Kyo sniffed the air and sneezed. Kiki's scent was strong. She smelt like mint. He always loved that smell, but it was expensive and rare, so her only got to smell it when Kagome brought it from modern Japan.
