Sangokirara5: I wanted to try a Kouga fic, and see if it gets a hit. But we'll see. Anyway, hope you read this, and have fun!

Ch1 Enter Ryu

A girl ran through the forest, panting. She came to a halt when she met a cave. She placed her hand on the cave entrance wall, and tried to catch her breath. There were white wings on her back, resembling a dragon. She took a deep breath, and when she let it go, her wings folded. She slowly sank down, now, sitting with her back onto the wall. She then fell asleep.

"No, you wake her up!" someone said.

"No, you!" some other said.

"Just wake her up!" said the third. "I want to know why she is in front of my cave blood soaked!" he yelled.

She slowly opened her eyes, and saw that there were 3 men in front of her, and about 12 wolves behinds the man with long black hair, tied in a ponytail, and 4 wolves sniffing her cautiously.

She suddenly shot out of her sitting position, and screamed. Before she can inhale and scream again, a man placed his hands over her mouth, making her stop.

"SHH!" he hissed. "If I let go, do you promise not to scream?" he said.

"The wolves won't do anything to you," the one with ponytail said "as long as you do nothing to them, and I don't order them to." He said.

The girl nodded, and the man let go. "Where am I?" she asked.

"In front of my home." The man with the ponytail said. "And, why are you blood soaked?" he asked. "I can tell that you didn't kill anyone, but someone else did, and you just got loads of it on you. I am not calling you a murderer."

She turned her head away. "My village was attacked." She said. "I…I was out of town, and when I came back, there was blood and people dead everywhere. Then I saw demons and I made a run for it, and I ended up here." She said. "And I thought you were one of the demons, so…yeah…" she said.

FLASH BACK in her head only

She hummed as she walked into her village, holding basket full of fruits.

"I think I got enough to give to the whole village!" she said to herself, praising her. As she walked in, she heard crackling of fire, and actually saw fire coming out of houses. She dropped the basket. She screamed in horror of what she saw. Then, in front of her house, stood a man…he saw her, and grinned.

"Good, I didn't kill everyone, yet." He said.

END of FLASHBACK

"Oh…I'm sorry." Said one of the men who were peering into her. The other, with the black hair was staring at her from a distance.

She turned her head toward the leader. "Well…erm…thank you for letting me stay?" she asked, scared of him slightly.

"Do you have somewhere to go?" he asked after a moment of silence.

She shook her head. "No…I think I'll be a traveler."

"Well…you are welcome to stay with us, if you agree to the terms of being food service, and perfectly knowing that we are always in danger." He said. "I am Kouga." He ended.

"Yeah! Stay with us! My name's Ginta!" he said, smiling.

"Yeah, then we won't have to be the food-service! Mine's Hakkaku." He was also smiling.

Kouga kept looking over her. She had black hair, to her shoulders, golden-brown eyes, and was wearing jacket (Don't ask why she has one in that time period) and pair of shorts, and it was attached to a bag thing, adjusted to her hip. She had boots, and since her jacket was open in the front, you can see she had a tank top. His eyes then laid onto what seemed to be long-pointy ears. She also had fangs, and long nails. He then saw a white tail, reptile like, long, and had spikes on the end. He noted the pearly white wings, also. "Dragon clan?" he asked.

Startled, she did not answer him right away. She then nodded. "I am the last of the dragon clan…unless someone was away, and lived, like me." She said. "I am called Ryu."

"Ryu…" he said. "Well, now seeing that you are fully-trained dragon clan, I think I'll remove you from food-service to my attacker position." He said. "Can you fly?"

She nodded. "Yes."

"Good, you will be my spy, also." He said. "First, I want you to wash up. As you can see, I am a wolf demon, and I can smell your blood 10 times more than you can."

"Right." She said. She looked over herself, and just as he had said, she was blood-soaked. "I hear a stream over there. I'll be going over there." She pointed over to the other side of the cave.

Kouga nodded. "We'll wait here." He said. He then turned and went inside the cave.

Ginta and Hakkaku followed. The wolves followed too. Ryu then turned, and walked over to the stream, and took a bath.

After half and hour, she came back, wearing her extra clothing she had in her side bag, and holding onto her cleaned and wet clothes. She the walked over to the cave, and she smelled baked fish. She then noticed how hungry she was. She walked in, and sure enough, saw fish stuck into sticks, burning in fire they had built.

"I guess we are back to food-service." Ginta mumbled.

Hakkaku shrugged. "Oh well."

She walked over to them. "I don't mind getting food also?" she offered.

Gina and Hakkaku were caught off guard. They didn't notice her come in. "No, its fine." Gina said, still confused of how she came in without them noticing.

"Are you sure? I can do both?" Ryu said again, placing her bag on the floor, and hanging her clothes to dry.

"No, I want you always on guard, and ready to fight at all times." Kouga said, walking towards them from back of the cave. "Stop whining." He then sat down, and grabbed a fish, and started to eat.

"I never head of a wolf-demon not killing human." Ryu said, as she also sat down, opposite side of Kouga, and took the fish Ginta offered.

"We are not going to kill ANY humans, got it?" Kouga said, as he tossed the remains of his fish to the wolves, and grabbed another.

Ryu nodded. "But if humans aren't the one who we are going to fight, then who?" she asked.

"A demon. Or…half-demon. We don't really know for sure." Ginta said between mouthfuls.

Hakkaku added. "Yeah. He killed all of the rest of our people, and we are going to get him back!"

Ryu nodded again. "A demon, I see." She said. "Well, I promise to fight!" she said. "Who ever this demon is, he did the wrong thing to mess up with Kouga…err…Kouga-sama, for I'll be helping him!" she said.

Kouga choked on his food. "Kouga…just Kouga." He said.

Ryu smiled. "Kouga." She repeated.

As they finished their meal, they talked about random things that happened, and she, to them. After what seemed to be hours, Kouga suddenly got up. "Go bed." He said. "It's late. Ginta, watch out tonight." He said. Ginta nodded, and walked over to the entrance.

"No, I can!" Ryu said.

Kouga shook his head. "No, just go over there; do you see that pile of blanket? Sleep over there." He said.

Hakkaku piped in. "But that's where…" he trailed off, as Kouga glared at him. "You sleep…" he said that last words quietly. "The warmest place…" he said. "How come he never let us sleep there, and letting her?" he whispered to Ginta as he went up to him.

Ginata shrugged. "Maybe he's falling for her?" he said.

They both turned to face him. "Nah," they both said in unison. "He likes Kagome-nee-san"

Ryu smiled as she went into the blanket. "Thanks for letting me stay, Kouga."

"hn" was the only reply, but she knew he meant to say "Sure."
