Half Silver and half Shadow youkai, Kagome is the first female born to the ruling Western Pack, and Sesshoumaru's younger half-sister. Due to not being in full control of her inherent abilities, Kagome finds herself alone and in trouble, lost beyond the Western Border. Who comes to her defense, what happens when he does, and what are the full consequences of their interaction?
NOTE: For all sexual acts, characters are ALWAYS of age, and there will NEVER be lack of consent for 'rutting'.
The way I age my demons in this fic is as follows...
Infant: Within their first decade.
Child: 10 to 49 years
Adolescent (teenager): 50-99 years (ability to mate falls within this timeframe)
Full Maturity: First century for males, first heat for females (which normally occurs around the century mark, give or take a year either way).
*Basically, they age at a rate of 2 years a decade.
The terms 'pup' and 'cub' are used for any inu or wolf that has not reached their first century, or by their parents at anytime.
A 'mating' is NOT the act of sex. That's rutting. Just like with humans and marriage, sex is not required. It's fun though *winks*
A mating is, very simply, the exchange of blood to tie the two together, and also does not require a bite. Often times, in noble society, two demons are mated before meeting. This is their betrothment. The 'wedding', for lack of term, is the public marking, where the male demon then bites his mate to visually show his claim.
Neither one happen as normal with Kouga and Kagome.
Any questions, ask.

Worried, scared, and irate eyes darted amongst the demons gathered before him, none of them daring to look up from the floor.
Touga was both livid and terrified having been informed his youngest pup was no where to be found. She had decided to take a nap and when her chamber maid went to retrieve her for the midday meal, she was gone. The uproar that followed the frantic woman as she tore the pup's room apart looking for any sign of her and none being found would have been comical had it not been for the reason it was. The entire palace was in the process of being turned upside down looking for the very rambunctious pup, but so far, there was absolutely no sign of her.
Kagome had just reached her sixty-fifth year, but was only about the human equivalent of a thirteen year old and, as such, loved to torment her caretakers, but she never out and out vanished like this before, not even as an infant when it would be expected.
Touga was quick to send out a number of guards, as well as his elder pup, but so far, all were returning without Kagome in tow. The only one left to return was Sesshoumaru, but Touga was pretty sure he wouldn't come back without his sister. He was rabidly protective of the younger female, and he wouldn't give up until he found her. He had been gone now for almost twenty minutes, and Touga was nearly losing his mind, wondering if he would also need to send out a search party for him as well.
Being as pissed off as he was, he couldn't formulate words as he continued to stare down the team that was tasked with keeping his daughter safe. His emotions were running so high, he was unable to think clearly and figure out how it was the pup vanished in the first place. There was no scent in her room but her's and her maid's, so he knew she wasn't taken against her will, but that was as far as he made it before his thoughts came to screeching hault. It didn't matter if the pup was forcibly taken or not. One look at her markings and it would be known who she was and that would literally spell nothing but trouble for the heiress. She could defend herself to a point, but she was far too young still to defend herself against someone that would think to use her against herself.
Snarling with rage, he snapped away from the assembled demons, stalking to the balcony off his office. He set his hands on the railing and glared out over the gardens like they held some sort of blame for this. His fangs were bared, his eyes wild. His claws itched for the blood belonging to the staff behind him, but he was able to stave it off, if only barely, by digging them into the solid stone of the balcony railing. Someone would pay for this, he just needed to figure out the most responsible party, and he would start there.
Were he in his right mind, Touga would have realized it was actually no ones fault his pup went missing. An error was made, yes, but it was one that couldn't have been avoided.
Author Announcement:
YAY! Is back with another tale for you. Sorry it might not be the one you wanted. I know a lot of you want to know what I have in store in part two of Unanticipated, but the next one is being an elusive bastard, and it stalled on me. I am working on it, but while I try and wrestle the wolf into submission for that story, I have this one that's behaving quite nicely. OOPS! Did I forget to mention that? My bad *giggles* There are actually two more planned to follow, but... yeah, you get it.
Updates for this one are as I get the time. I homeschool my second grader, so free time on the computer for writing is kinda scarce at the moment during the week, so my writing is done on the weekend. I *do* have more chapters to this one finished, so at minimum, I will update once a week until it's done, then I will post to complete.
Sorry to say, I only do one story at a time these days once I start posting, so this is all you get from me until it's done. Believe me, if you saw my Kouga/Kagome file folder, you would understand.
SEE YOU NEXT CHAPTER!
