DISCLAIMER: I do not own InuYasha or the song 'Hungry like the Wolf', which actually goes well with this story I must say.

Hungry like the Wolf

Chapter 1: The Hunt Begins


He growled, cursing as he caught a faint wind of her scent. It was purely intoxicating; there was no other way to describe it. The forest was filled with the fragrant aroma that was simply Kagome; sweet, innocent and beautiful. She never strayed far from his mind since the first time he had lain his hungry eyes on her. He found it amazing that she had captured his soul and tamed his heart with a mere first encounter.

The full moon shown down luminously; its brilliant glow shattered into countless pieces by the crowded trees, scattering it onto the forest floor like broken glass. The sweet song of chirping crickets echoed through the wood in unison with a flowing stream. Tiny creatures scavenged for food timidly trying to evade the deadly attention of their nocturnal predators. The air was crisp and cool, the wind soft and calm. The night was beautiful.

Perched high on a thick limb, Kouga inhaled deeply, digging his claws into the branch causing the bark to split beneath his grip.

"Dammit," he cursed, the enticing odor wafting through the night; beckoning him.

Trying to relieve his built up tension he closed his eyes and clenched his sharp teeth, struggling to regain composure. Kouga inhaled and exhaled slowly; he was drowning in a sea of desire with no one to rescue him but her.

The wolf demon licked his lips and tasted the air "They're not far." he said with a wide grin.

Leaping down, he took off in the direction her scent was the strongest, it would not be long now, and the beautiful priestess would be his. A dark smirk touched his lips, anticipation coursed through his veins wildly.

The hunt had begun.
