Wow, its been a while since I posted a "Guilty hero" fanart! >< I haven't forgotten about you !! This was a sketch I did while reading chapter 47, "Wheels in motion," where Kagome tells Kouga that Naraku is back.

Here is the exerpt from which I based this illustration on:

"Inu-Yasha?" Koga interrupted with an incredulous laugh. "I thought that sick mutt wasn't even fit to climb a flight of stairs! What was HQ thinking, sending him on any kind of mission?"

Kagome's fists smacked down on the table. "Inu-Yasha had recovered a great deal of his strength and health at the time and was more than capable of handling a simple reconnaissance mission!" Her voice was loud enough that Koga started and sat up straighter in the booth. It was very unlike Kagome to snap so quickly. Patience was one of her greatest assets.

"U-um... I'm glad to hear it," he hesitantly replied as Kagome sank back into the booth, her cheeks cherry-red. Clearly, now was not the time to crack jokes at Inu-Yasha's expense. "It sounds like he's come a long way from when I last saw him."

As soon as the words left his lips, he regretted voicing them. Her reaction was immediate and intense. While her eyes filled with tears, her brow furrowed in anger and she stared furiously at him. She clutched her coffee mug so tightly that Koga feared the handle would snap. Squirming uncomfortably, he decided to stay quiet and let Kagome control the flow of the conversation.

It was a moment before she finally closed her eyes and broke the glare. Her grip on the mug, as Koga warily noticed, was still vice-like, and she was having trouble speaking calmly.

"You wouldn't be saying something so foolish if you knew what that idiot was doing-." She choked on her words, her voice strangled. With a liberal swallow of coffee to clear her throat, which was followed by a grimace at the taste, she took a deep breath. Relaxing from her stiff posture, she released the mug and crossed her arms instead.

"Inu-Yasha is of no concern to the Order right now," she said. Her tone was smooth, but her eyes were a steely gray that gave Koga reason to believe that sentence was harder to get out than she let on. "We have a much bigger problem to deal with at the moment."

"Which is?" Koga asked carefully, wishing he could inquire more about the situation between her and Inu-Yasha without meeting certain death.

"Well, as I was saying before being interrupted, Inu- I-I mean, we were sent on a fact-finding mission to the quarry. We were expecting to meet no one there, save for an imp or two that could be easily dispatched. However, it was no minor imp that came up to greet us."

Glancing cautiously around, Kagome leaned in close. Koga imitated her actions, curious in spite of himself. Her expression was so grave that he could hardly imagine what she was about to say.

"Naraku has returned."
