Friendship Becomes Betrayal Then Becomes Love
((KougaXOC love story))
Isamu's P.O.V (Amaya's dad)
Isamu was holding his beautiful child, looking into the deep blue eyes of his little girl. The baby reached up and put her hand on his face. Laughter was emitting from the child and her father. Isamu looked over at his wife, smiling at his family feeling like the happiest man alive. He looked back at the child in his arms; he could see she had a bit of black hair with strands of white in some places. A small brown wolf tail poking out of the blanket. Her cheeks were rosy from birth and her wolf-like ears twitched. She was beautiful, the daughter of a wolf demon and a human. She was a Hanyou of course. Isamu looked out the window next, noticing the dark sky and rain. He looked to his wife Harumi with a great idea in his head.
"How about we name her Amaya?" Harumi looked up at him and smiled, "Night Rain, how beautiful and true"
Isamu smiled, "It's settled then", and he looked at his child calling her by her name for the first time. "Amaya"
~Few years later~
Small children squeals were heard as Amaya was lifted from the ground and put on her father's shoulders. Now at the age of six Amaya was always hanging around her father. She would look and follow him around where ever he went. Amaya loved her father and didn't want to be away from him. The only time she didn't follow him was when he went to talk to the other pack members. They didn't seem to like her and she didn't understand why. When she was near them and when she went in the den everyone glared at her, pointing and mumbling to each other. But Amaya was happy being with her mother and father. She was happy, always smiling. Until the night where she lost a part of herself.
Isamu was lying on a bed of furs, breathing heavily. No one knew what was wrong, they could only watch as their pack leader and husband/father slowly faded away. Amaya refused to leave her father's side, she was always crying whenever he got worse or just in general. After a week her father got worse and worse before he finally drifted away into a never ending world. Amaya and Harumi cried for what seemed like forever. Standing in a small clearing was Amaya and her mother, looking down on the grave. Amaya kneeled to the ground and began to cry; her mother knelt down and took her into her arms, holding her while the tears fell from her daughters face.
That night, heading back to the den they saw all their things outside. One wolf came out of the den with an angry expression.
"You both must leave at once, before more people get sick" the wolf demon then pointed at Amaya, "It's all your fault that this has happened, Isamu should never have met you", he pointed at Harumi, " And created such a disgusting child, now leave!" he yelled, his voice growing louder with each word. Scared of what they would do to them if they stayed, Harumi gathered their belongings and Amaya and began to run from the den. Amaya didn't know what was going on but followed her mother, taking her farther and farther away from her home.
A year later Amaya is now eight and was sitting in a hut holding her mother's hand. Her mother got very sick and no doctors would come and help because of the little half- demon. Harumi's breathing was becoming shallow but still she spoke.
"A...Amaya?" Amaya snapped to attention, "Yes mom?" she answered. Harumi's hand came to Amaya's face, "Do not blame yourself honey, I'm going to see your father now. Don't let what other people think of you hold you back, live your life the way you want." Amaya nodded, "I will mother." Harumi smiled, "Someday you'll meet someone to live forever with, who likes you for you. When that day comes and you see a smile in the clouds that's your father and I smiling wide wishing you happiness."
"But mom I don't want you to leave me here", Amaya said with tears streaming down her face. "I'm not going anywhere, I'll be...right...here..." she points to her chest. "I'll be her along with your father, watching over you." Those were her mother's last words as she drifted away with a smile on her face and tears streaming in a line down her cheeks. Amaya stayed there crying and holding her mother's hand. Eventually Amaya left the house; she turned around and saw someone go into the hut.
"Take care mother", Amaya said to herself as she ran into the trees.
One month later
Amaya could hear them, the shuffling, and the growling. She remembered the sounds as wolves. She sniffed the air, she could smell them too. She wasn't scared but she wasn't happy either, she knew how dangerous they could be when they are hungry. Amaya thought, If only daddy was here, then rustling came and Amaya hid behind a tree. Amaya heard laughter and peeked out from behind the tree, there a little ways away she saw a boy running with the wolves. She stared as the boy pranced around, then he stopped. Amaya noticed him sniff the air as did the wolves.
"Who's there? Show you," he called out. Oh no I forgot to mask my scent! She thought to herself. Amaya sighed and stepped out from behind the tree.
"Who are you?" the boy asked. "My name is Amaya". The boy smiled showing white teeth. "I'm Kouga." Amaya smiled back a little shyly.
"So where are your parents'?" he asked with his hands behind his head. Amaya's smile turned into a frown, she sat down and brought her knees to her chest, her lips beginning to quiver. Kouga walked over and sat beside her.
"What's wrong?" he asked. A sob escaped Amaya's lips, "Th...There both d...dead," she answered between sobs. Kouga was shocked to hear this and frowned, slowly wrapping an arm around her to comfort her. Amaya continued to cry for a long time and Kouga just sat there with her. The wolves all began to gather around and formed a circle around both of them. Amaya looked up at Kouga and he gave her a sad smile.
"You can come back with me, I'm sure my parents won't mind besides we have lots of room." Amaya looked up at him, "really?" she asked. "Sure" Kouga's smile grew showing his teeth again. He stood up and stuck out his hand for her to take. Amaya reached up and for the first time in two months followed someone to a new place where hopefully she could call home.
When they arrived many of the pack members stared at the Hanyou child. A few whispers could be heard, all wondering why a Hanyou child was there in the den. Amaya hid behind Kouga trying to hide from prying eyes. They entered the cave and Kouga brought Amaya right to the back of the den where two wolf demons were kneeling.
"Kouga, who's this?" the female wolf-demon asked with a friendly smile. Kouga brought Amaya up to stand beside him. "This is Amaya, she said both her parents' died." the women's smile faded. "Is this true Amaya?" she asked. Amaya nodded. The women opened up her arms for the child and Amaya ran into them. Amaya missed being wrapped into a hug, she snuggled in deeper. Amaya looked back at Kouga who had a smile on his face that seemed to say I told you so.
~one week later~
Amaya looked up at the night sky, sighing, she hadn't seen Kouga all day. She turned to look at the moon and sniffed the fresh air. On the wind she could smell all the wolves and wolf-demons, mixed in with the smells she could determine one scent in particular. She smiled as she heard footsteps; "Kouga come to join me?" she turned around and saw him smiling. Kouga came over to where she was sitting and sat down beside her. He looked up to the moon and took a deep breath. Amaya stood up and began twirling around while still looking at the stars.
"Careful, you might get dizzy" Kouga said with a laugh. "So what if I do?" she continued to twirl when her foot caught on a loose rock making her fall right on her but. Kouga laughed, "I told you", he said. Amaya stuck out her tongue; she just leaned back onto the rock and looked back at the sky. Turning to Kouga she said, "Kouga..." "Hmmm?" "We're friends right?" Kouga looked over at her, "Of course!" he said with a large grin on his face. "Promise to stay friends forever?" she asked him, Kouga hooked his pinky with hers, "Promise."
~one year later~
The rumors were spreading, all around you could hear about the many deaths of the wolf-demons, they were out gathering food for the pack when a larger demon attacked. Amaya walked around listening to the rumors when one in particular caught her attention. The person was crying as she was talking.
"Poor Kouga I heard that even his parents died battling against the demon." Amaya gasped not believing what she heard. Quickly walking away she searched the faces of everyone hearing more rumors that didn't make sense to her.
"I heard that while our men were fighting the demon, it asked where the Hanyou was hiding saying it could smell her." the wolf demons looked over in her direction, Amaya frowned. "Hey you why don't you leave here before you cause any more trouble, it's you the demon was after." the male demon walked toward her, "Why don't you leave us alone before more demons come looking for you and causing the deaths of more pack members." Amaya flinched, moving backwards as he got closer. Just then Amaya smelt someone familiar, Kouga walked in front of Amaya shielding her.
"Back off", he said. "But Kouga, that demon was looking for her; if she wasn't here our leaders wouldn't be dead! She needs to leave before causing more trouble" Kouga shook his head turning around he grabbed Amaya's hand. "Come on" he said pulling her behind him. They reached a small cliff and Kouga sighed sitting down on the ground. Amaya sat down beside him, "I'm sorry about your parents" Amaya said looking at him. Kouga looked up at the trees, "Ya, listen don't worry about what he was saying okay, it's not your fault." Amaya put her head down "Is it true the demon was asking where I was?" Kouga looked at her and sighed, "Yes." Amaya stood up and began walking away.
"Wait!" Kouga yelled running after her. Amaya just kept walking. Kouga reached her and grabbed her arm, "it doesn't matter, and my parents would never have let any demon near you!" Amaya turned around, "If I had never come here none of this would have happened!" "But you were alone! What would you have done if you didn't come here?" Amaya turned away, "I would have figured out something" Amaya turned around and walked away moving her feet fast to get away from Kouga. "You're only ten for crying out loud!" Amaya turned around, "You're not that much older than me either so it's the same thing!" she yelled back. Turning around she walked off leaving a fuming Kouga behind.
~later that night~
Amaya knew it was coming, she knew the pack was going to get rid of her and she knew that Kouga wouldn't stop them. Even now she could already hear the pack gathering around her house. Kouga was right she is only ten what was she going to do when she leaves? Humans didn't like her, demons wanted to kill her. The only person who accepted her was Kouga and his parents. Just then five wolf-demons entered the cave; one of them was the same wolf-demon from earlier. He smiled at her, "Kouga finally gave the go ahead, this means you're gone half-demon" he stepped toward her, "Now get going." Amaya was shocked that Kouga was the one who said go ahead. Didn't he promise her they would always stay friends? Well that stupid fight didn't help much, but still he was practically throwing her away. "Hello? Are you in there? I said for you to get lost or else" Amaya heard wolves growling and looked to see multiple wolves bearing their fangs at her. She took the hint, she walked past the wolf-demons and out into the night air, it began raining then slowly falling in big drops. Amaya sighed and continued to walk through the rain. After walking for ten minutes Amaya looked back at her former home frowning deeply. Her last thought before walking off was, I'll never forgive him.
