The young wolf prince stood on a lush green hill that shadowed a breezy field. The field was decorated in large rocks, each one had a name carved into it.
Kouga squeezed his hands into a fist. His body was shaking with anger. They had been his comrades, his pack, his family. Now they were dead and buried. Gone for ever, leaving their love ones to grieve. Other wolf demons were there as well. Some leaving flower and others crying over graves.
It had been six months since Naraku slayed more than half of Kouga's wolf pack. He tricked Kouga into thinking it was Inuyasha and the two demons nearly killed each other. Since than he has been on a non stop mission to find the spider and kill him. He had even teamed up with the hanyou and his pack to try and find the red eye demon. Kouga would travel non stop for weeks tracking Naraku. He chase him all over Japan but every time he get close the spider would slip from his grasp laughing at how weak he was. It made the wolfs blood boil.
Winter would be coming soon. With a large portion of his pack missing it was proving difficult to collect food. It was already hard protecting their territory from the bird demons and other clans that wanted their hunting areas. It was no doubt going to be a hard frost. They might lose even more wolfs from the cold.
Kouga wanted nothing more than to beat the dark hanyou to death. To see him scream in pain and beg for mercy. To make him suffer and show him the same fear he showed his clan before ruthlessly slaughtering them. The worst part was that he than defiled his wolf brothers corpses by making them come to life and do his bidding. His pack was disgraced because of Naraku and as a leader Kouga himself was disgrace for letting it happen.
His thoughts were interrupted by Ginta and Hakkaku who came running towards him. Panic showed on their faces.
"Kouga, Kouga, Kouga" They said frantically.
"Calm down you two."
"There's a demon." Hakkaku said.
"He's attacking the caves." Ginta said.
Growling Kouga took off running back towards his home, leaving the two other wolfs in the dust. When he reached the caves he found a large lion demon attacking his wolfs.
"Pathetic dogs" It growled. The forced of its roar knocked down some trees.
"We're not dogs, we're wolfs" Kouga jumped into the air and brought his foot down on the best head. A loud crack was heard and the animal toppled over
"Hey Kouga killed it." Gina yelled. He and Hakkaku had just arrived. They were both gasping from breath.
Kouga looked at the dead demon. "That was to easy."
His fellow wolfs howled in cheer. Humanoid and animal form alike.
"How many casualties?" The young leader asked.
"Three dead and five wounded." Ginta told him.
"Are you serious? This demon was so weak."
"We're not all as powerful as you Kouga."
...
After adding three more graves to the fields the prince retired to his den. He sighed and lied down on his pile of pelts. Today he buried someone he had known since he was five years old. They were in the same hunting class when they were kids.
Morning came to quickly. Kouga opened his red eyes. The first thing he did was sniff the air. He smelled his wolfs, the stream, a mile away, and something good up he stretched his hands above his head.
He made his way out his cave and was greeted by his second in command.
"Morning Kouga." Ginta held out a plate of meat.
"Whats for breakfast?" He yawned.
"Roasted lion demon."
Kouga raised an eye brow.
"We have been running low on food. This lion will keep the pack fed for a couple of days."
Kouga too the plate. "But..." He took a bit. "Not bad" the prince shrugged his shoulders and walked off.
"I'll leave the bag in your room." Ginta yelled.
Kouga did what he did almost every day. He started to hunt for Naraku. He sometimes he spend days searching. He might do that this time since he didn't have to worry about feeding his clan for awhile. But than again he might not, there have been lots of demons crossing their borders. Revenge was great, but his first duty was as a leader. He had to protect his pack, even if that mean putting his feelings aside.
He came back at dusk. So far nothing bad had happen while he was away. Returning to his den he found the bag Ginta had on his bed. He decided to look over it before bed. Kouga emptied the contents of the bag on the floor. There was some herbs, a wooden flute, two weird sea shells, a bronze coin, and a boo-do doll.
"Just some junk, the coin might be worth something and maybe the boo-do doll is real. That could come in handy. I'v never seen these herbs before, maybe I could sell them to a witch. If that lions went to the trouble of saving these things they must have some value."
Kouga picked up the flute. He played a note, it had a nice sound to it. He attached it to his waist. He could play it for the pups later. He examined the coin next. It looked old and had a cat like symbol on it. Maybe the lion demons tribe stamp. His own clan had five claw marks as our symbol. The dogs had a sun and moon.
Suddenly the coin in his hand started to glow. It burned his skin forcing him to let go. The wolf prince backed away from the glowing light.
A golden figure merged from the coin, its body engulfed in light. Kouga had to close his eyes from the intensity, when he opened them he saw a women standing before him. She was some a feline demon, the cat ears were proof of that. If Kouga had to guess, he say she was a cheetah or leopard demons from the yellow, spotted tail she had. The demoness had a brown cloth wrapped around her upper chest covering just her boobs. It had a slight rip in the middle showing her cleavage. She had on tan tights that reached her ankles. Her hair was red and tied in two ponytails.
"Hi there. You must be my new master." she said friendly.
"What?"
"My name is Name. I'm a genie." She was jumped in the air and landed on a cloud that appeared from no where. She floated around the room looking at all his stuff.
"Your not very tidy, are you Master?"
"What are you?" Kouga said surprised.
She signed. "Not too smart either huh? I am Name, a genie. Your genie."
"Your name, is Name?"
"Yes, my name is Name." She snapped her fingers and from nothing she formed a cup of tea. "Want a cup?"
Kouga shook his head. "So I get wishes?"
"Yes, you get three wishes."
"I wish for enough food to feed my pack forever." he said quickly and excitingly.
"Wow there, slow down. I haven't explained the rules yet." She sat crossed legs.
Kouga was surprised when she started floating upside down.
"First rule, you just cant just say your wish. I can only grant your hearts deepest wish."
"Wanting to take care of my pack is my deepest wish." Kouga said.
"Kouga" Ginta and Hakkaku came running in. Name quickly returned to her coin.
"What?"
"Its Naraku, he has been spotted two mile past the east river."
