Seven Sins

"Lord Naraku, I have Greed" Koga said, holding up a small blue ball.

"Excellent" Naraku said from his throne. "Now all that's left is-"

"Pride milord" Naraku's smirk fell from his face.

"Remember Koga, pride isn't like the others. You must be careful"

"Yes, I know milord." he said bowing slightly.

"Yes, well the body is?"

"In the cellar with the other's."

"Good" Naraku said nodding his head, as if agreeing with himself.

"And the last one is?"

"With Kagome Higurashi, A fifteen-year-old high school student. This one will be easy."

Naraku shook his head, as if disappointed in him. "No you fool, this will be hard. The hardest of them all. Messing with pride is not an easy thing to do. You'll be lucky to come back a live."

Koga nodded his head and turned to leave. But half way through his step he disappeared, leaving a cloud of gray smoke behind him.

"The fool" Naraku shook his head and went back to listening to his advisor, Onigumo, about the plan. Though his thoughts always went back to the same thing.

'The pride medallion will be mine, mark my words, Kagome Higurashi'

S.C

Kagome stopped her walking and sneezed.

"Bless you" Miroku said.

"You okay?" Sango asked? She put a hand to her best friends forehead.

"I'm fine" Kagome said, looking up at the hand on her forehead.

"Come on already." Inuyasha said.

Kagome rolled her eyes as Inuyasha and Miroku started walking off without them.

"Why are they in a hurry?" Kagome asked as she and Sango started following their boyfriends.

"I don't remember." Sango replied.

"Something about a dog?" Kagome said, trying to remember what they were saying at lunch.

"Oh, that's right. They're getting a new dog." Kagome nodded her head as they walked outside into the parking lot. The boys were already in the car, ready to leave, by the time Sango and Kagome reached them.

They got in the backseat of the car and got buckled-up. As soon as they were done Inuyasha drove away from school and back to his home.

As soon as they pulled up in his drive way they got out of the car.

Inuyasha's house was huge. It had three stories. On the first story were the living room, the dining room, and the kitchen. On the second story were the Study, his brother Sesshomaru's room, and his parent's room. On the third floor were inuyasha's room, the library, and 3 guest rooms, one of which had Kagome's things in it. They made their way up into the house and entered just as Sesshomaru was leaving.

Sesshomaru, 22, was a lawyer and was barely ever here.

As they got up to inuyasha's room, Kagome sneezed again.

"Hey, why don't you take some medicine?" Inuyasha asked, gently, with concern in his voice.

After she was over the sneeze she shot her head up and looked at Inuyasha. "Don't worry about it. They're just sneezes." She walked over and lied on the bed next to Sango.

"When's the dog coming?" Miroku asked, looking out the window.

"How the hell should I know?" Inuyasha asked, putting his watch on his dresser.

"Well, it is your dog."

"So?"

"So, you should know when it's coming."

"Well I don't."

Kagome and Sango continued chatting about little things as the guys continued their fight, if you could call it that.

"Inuyasha." his mother's voice was heard through out the house.

"The dog" he said brightly. He and Miroku scrambled out of the door and rushed downstairs.

"How do they get so excited by a little dog?" Sango asked.

"No clue, but should we follow them?"

Sango thought for a moment before shaking her head. "They'll bring the dog up here."

A few minutes later, Inuyasha and Miroku walked up with a small blonde dog trailing behind them.

"What's his name?" Kagome asked, getting off the bed and moving to pet the dog.

"Dunno" Inuyasha said.

They played with the dog until the sun started to go down.

"I gotta get home you guys, bye" Kagome said, grabbing her backpack and leaving the room.

"You want me to take you home?" Inuyasha asked.

"Nah. It'll only take a minute to get down the street." she said.

As she walked out of the house she said hello to inuyasha's mom. As soon as she started to walk down the sidewalk someone started to walk behind her.

'Finally, I've been waiting for hours.' Koga thought as he trailed along after Kagome. 'I don't know how this is supposed to be hard. The stupid girl doesn't even know I'm following her. Sure, her medallions Pride but still...'

"Excuse Me" he called, finally gaining Kagome's attention.

"Yeah?" she turned around and walked toward the man.

"Would you happen to know-" he stopped as soon as he put his hand on her shoulder.

"Uh, what are you doing?" Kagome asked, startled.

"What, oh, sorry you just had something right there. But, you wouldn't happen to know, uh-never mind I figured it out." Koga said and started walking away.

"Ok" Kagome said and continues her walk back to her house.

How can that be?' Koga thought. 'When I placed my hand on her shoulder she should have became paralyzed, and I should have found out where exactly to find the medallion within her body. Damn, I guess this really is going to be hard.'

He kept walking till he was far enough away, then he disappeared, leaving behind a cloud of gray smoke.

"Milord." Koga said, bowing in front of Naraku.

"Well?" he was anxious to know the news.

"The girl, Kagome, she didn't respond." Naraku knew what Koga meant. She didn't freeze up.

"Damn it" he yelled. He calmed down, and looked at Koga. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, milord. She blocked my stunning spell and she didn't even kow it."

"Then that means-"

"We'll have to guess."

Naraku shook his head furiously. "You can't. Remember, Pride won't heal in front of you. You could have Kagome dying a slow and painful death, but Pride still wouldn't come out and heal her, if you were still around. It would let her die. You freezing her were the first step to gaining Pride. And now-"

"Damn, this is really bad."

"Koga you fool. I warned you, this is the hardest. Pride isn't like the others." Naraku began. "To get the medallion out of the others all you have to do is force the medallion out of dormancy by injurying the person so serverly, if not killing them. This forces the medallion out of the body to heal it's owner."

"I know milord" Koga interupted.

"Onsviously you don't" Naraku snapped. "Though it's power is to great to touch while it's healing, you must wait till after it's done and before it goes back in the body. Once you have the medallion you must bring the person back, and mke sure he's alive. If the person dies, and the medallion is not around to heal and we don't have all seven medallions, the medallion will go on to it's next owner in an instant. And then we won't be able to track it down for another 15 years. 15 more years of waiting for the medallion to make it's prescense known. So, now that i've given you this imformation, do you think you can go and do your job? Bring me the medallion." He bellowed.

Koga nodded and disappearing where he stood.

He reappeared in a tree, looking into Kagome's window. And that's how he was all night, trying to figure out her weakness.
