((Chapter 1))
Kagome opened her eyes slowly and stared up at the ceiling of the cave. That had been eight years ago. She'd long sensed stopped crying. But now...She'd never forgotten that terrible day. The dream sent chills down her spine as it always did. Kouga had died because of her. She didn't love Kouga but he had been a dear friend to her. It wasn't right, it wasn't fair that he'd had to die. It wasn't right that Inuyasha had choosen that path.
Inuyasha had taken the Jewel and turned full demon. He'd killed Kouga and then Kaede's village. Miroku and Sango were next. Kagome felt devasted that Inuyasha had killed them. What drove him to such a point of insanity?
Kagome had tried to go home after that but the well had sealed with the completing of the Jewel. So Kaede had suggested Kagome go into hiding because Inuyasha would never stop hunting for her. She had set out the rumor that Kagome had been slaughtered by a demon but she wasn't sure that Inuyasha believed it.
Kagome was alone except for Kaede now. She hadn't even been able to see Kouga's body. Kakkahu and Ginta wouldn't let her. Kouga's wolf tribe had moved far away from the area where Kouga had been killed... And Kagome had went with them. That was the only way no one would see her again. Inuyasha wouldn't think to look anywhere but where she had always been. She would be far away. And she'd been like that for eight years now.
The tribe never really chose another leader. Whenever they wanted a decision made they all talked about it... Hakkau and Ginta were the strange was. They were hiding something. She just didn't know what it was. Not that it mattered. They were great men. If it was important they would tell her.
A shuddering sigh escaped her lips as she turned onto her side. The furr beneath her was soft. It had been the furr that Kouga had slept on. She glanced towards at the wall and frowned as she heard a small noise and then smiled. One of the small cubs; yes, she'd even gotten into the habit of talking like they did every now and then; crawled towards her and into her arms. The tribe had fought demons earlier and this ones mother had been slaughtered.
"Can I stay?" The little girl whispered.
Kagome nodded and lifted up the blanket and the little girl crawled underneath and snuggled against Kagome.
"Kagome?"
She glanced down at the little girl. "Yes?"
"Why aren't you like us?" The little girl rested her chin on her hands. She wasn't in the least bit sleepy.
"Because I wasn't born a demon. I was... in danger and the tribe took me in. They knew me a long time ago." Kagome leaned up on her right forearm.
"Ginta was telling me a story." The girls eyes shown with interest as she said it. Kagome knew that she always loved to hear stories.
"What was it about?"
"Someone named Kouga. Wait, not someone. I can't call him that. They said that he used to be the leader of the tribe. And know what?" She leaned closer and lowered her voice on the last sentence so that it was just a whisper.
Kagome stilled when she heard that but kept the pain from showing in her eyes. She made herself smile slightly and leaned down low to whisper back to make it sound like she was being told a secret.
"They said that he loved you." The girls eyes lit up with the words. "They said that he was a great leader. Everyone mourned his loss. How come he isn't here now? Where is he? And did he love you? Really?"
Kagome sighed as she felt a small twinge of pain stab at. "Yes, he was a great leader. He died a terrible death but he didn't deserve it. He... I'm sure he did care about me." She didn't say the word "love". She rarely even talked about Kouga.
"Is that why you're here? Because you loved him?"
Kagome shook her head. "No I didn't. He was a very dear friend of mine. He didn't deserve to die. And I'm here because ..." Kagome placed a smile on her face. She really didn't want to talk about it. "Its late. You need your sleep. Now, if you go to sleep I'll talk them into letting you run in one of the fields near by." The girl covered her mouth as she squeeled happily and nodded eagerly and went to sleep instantly.
Kagome smiled and shook her head, closing her eyes.

Kagome really felt like a part of the pack. Even though she wasn't a demon she just... When she'd came with the tribe she had left all of her old stuff behind. She was going to start new. She'd taken her bow and arrow of course. She still used those. She let her legs dangle over the edge of the rocks as she glanced down at the field the cubs were playing in. A few of the wolves ran with them, tugging there clothing playfully. It was a nice day today.
A cool breeze blew by, touching the skin of her bare legs. When she had said she was starting new she'd meant it. She even wore clothing like they did. She wore a small furr skirt and furr boots just like the other women and a smooth hide top. It was slightly ripped around the stomach so a huge patch of her stomach was shown. She was used to it by now though.
"I never would have thought you'd become part of the tribe, you know?" Kagome glanced up as Hakakku sat beside her, raising one knee and resting his arm on it.
"Me either. Thank you, again, for letting me stay."
Hakakku shrugged. "You don't have to thank me or anyone else, Kagome. Its what He would have wanted."
Kagome nodded and stared down at the field. "I actually feel alive again. Everyone here is the only family I have." Hakakku and Ginta had finally found mates. They each had cubs of there own as well. The pack had grown a lot and was thriving wonderfully.
"Kagome...Why don't you give Kumiko a chance? He likes you." One of the members of the tribe, Kumiko, had from the moment he'd met Kagome, liked her. He always made her laugh. Why didn't she?
"I... I don't think I can." She glanced up at the sky. Her heart was still torn over Inuyasha's betrayal. She'd cared about him so much.
"You'll never know until you let go, Kagome." Was all he said before he stood up and walked back into the cave where the others resided. Kagome watched the clouds overhead. "Maybe you're right." She whispered but even as she said the words there was nothing behind them. Why?
Kagome opened her eyes slowly and stared up at the ceiling of the cave. That had been eight years ago. She'd long sensed stopped crying. But now...She'd never forgotten that terrible day.
