Author's Note: I'm not usually one to post my drabbles on this site, given my own propensity to skip over drabble dumps when browsing. However, Kouga/Kagura is one of of the few alternate pairings I'm fond of, and it so doesn't get enough love. Thus, here a few tidbits I had hiding away. Enjoy!

Awakening

He hated her at first sight. There was something about the pride in her unusual cinnamon eyes that set a sense of this-is-wrong ricocheting through his body. He glared at her from across the classroom, his thoughts taking a morbid turn as he wondered what it'd be like to see her blood dripping from her pretty little throat...

She was there when he got out of detention that day, and the sight of her almost caused him to miss a step. Then she looked at him and he froze, feeling himself fall into a instinctually defensive stance and the blood start to race in his ears. Seeing his reaction, she laughed cheekily and stopped a short distance away.
"Who were you?" she asked, her low voice tinted with amusement. She looked pale in the rosy sunset—the days were getting shorter now—and he couldn't help but think that she'd look better in brighter colors, rather than the drab blues and slate grays of the school uniform.
"What're you talking about?" he growled, feeling strangely off-balance as the wind suddenly picked up, causing the nearby trees to rustle ominously. Past tense?
But then something seemed to change in the girl. Her mouth suddenly curved into a knowing smirk, her gaze sharpening. "Pity, pity. Might of known you'd be as thick as ever. Better wake up soon, wolf-boy. I've waited long enough." Her fingers drifted to her mouth and she blew him a kiss before turning and walking away, hips swaying saucily.
Kouga's reincarnation stared after her, dumbfounded and silent as his brain struggled to remember something locked five hundred years in the past.
