A/N: Well this is my first inuyasha fic so be nice. I figured Koga and Ayame would be the perfect couple pairing, and would be the backbone of my story. This story is an AU. So everything gets played my way.

Summary: A war has been waging between two wolf clans for many centuries to come. Koga a young wolf demon from the south travels up to the north to battle amongst his tribe against the white coat wolf demons from the north. Wounded in battle a northern female wolf demon aids him to health. As they grow, their love grows and yearns for one another. How will the leaders of their tribes handle this? Are they willing to put centuries of battling aside, or will they take actions beyond reasons? Read and find out.

Disclaimer: I don't own any inuyasha characters. Just the ones you probably never heard of.

Chapter One:

Koga POV

Troubles

I sat in the mouth of my den as I stared at the water fall concealing my tribe. I sat and stared at it as if the water would soon disappear. Staring so hard I'm lucky I didn't strain my eyes. My father would have smacked my head to the side and give me a stupid comment about men being mighty and don't coward down to stare. I'm not a coward I can tell you that much. I just have a lot on my mind.

I looked down from the waterfall giving up at whatever I was looking for. I can see Ginta smacking the water for some fish. Oh boy that guy can't aim if it cost him his life. Smacking the water, seeing how frustrated he was becoming made me want to laugh, but I didn't. This is what we need to do to survive. The white coat wolf demon tribe is very strong. They wiped out more than half of our tribe as if we were just leaves in the wind. Our tribe is dying. I felt a tap on my shoulder. Feh...Can't get anytime alone. I turn to see my older brother.

"Life isn't going to get easier Koga." He sat down besides me. My brother was my idol. I chuckled at his little statement.

"Koga...You're a man now, you're not the little pup I used to carry around on my back...Hehe if I carry you on my back I'll probably break it." I stared at him. He knows me back and front...And can tell if I lied to him so it would be futile if I tried.

"Katsunori...I-I don't know how I can explain how I feel." I shook my head. He knows when I lie but it's hard to explain the truth. Katsunori chuckles at my childish excuse.

"Koga...You know how to explain what your feeling...You just don't know if our clan would accept it." Katsunori stands up. He truly was a beautiful demon. He was strong and smart. He wasn't the foolish demon. I look up at him.

"Koga...You are a reflection of me when I was your age, it's not the world that is changing...It's you...You are changing into a strong and powerful demon, Koga you will understand one day." He walks back into the den. I began to pick up my old habit and stared back at the water as if some answer would appear.

"Koga....KOGA!" A voice called my name. I looked down the waterfall where Ginta was catching fish.

"Look Koga...I got one!" He shouted to me.

"Great! Now you need to catch two fish for every demon that lives here! You have one...About 29 more to go!" I siked him up. He gave me a look of despair. Hehe like I was going to help him.

"But Koga there isn't even 20 fish in this water?!" Ginta says pointing down at the water.

"Then you have to share yours." I say back to him. He gave me a very aggressive growl and then smiled and got back to work on catching fish.

I got up and jumped down from the mouth of our den and landed on a large rock in the water. Ginta looked at me. "You're going to help me?" I yawned.

"Nope...Just watching." I lie on my side and close my eyes. He gave his best wolf cry but I looked the other way.

"C'mon Koga...Just this once?" He gave me the puppy dog eyes. I guess it wouldn't hurt. I jumped into the water and began swooping down and grabbing fish. 3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10.

"Wow Koga....those fish loves you." He says staring at him one fish.

"Well if you move gracefully and gingerly the fish would not run away from their doom." I explained to him. I gave him an example. First I moved noisily to one of the fish. They swam away fast. Then I slowly and carefully moved towards the next and caught him.

"See?...So that's 12 fishes." I tell him. He claps with his solemn fish in his hands. We gathered more fish but it wasn't enough to feed our hungry tribe.

I tied the tail fins of the 15 fish with one rope and we began making it up to the mouth of the den. "The tribe will still be hungry." I tell Ginta.

"Yes...But there isn't more we can do...Thank you for helping me...Or I would have probably been dinner." He says sarcastically. I laugh.

"No problem." We walk into the den only to be stared at by many hungry wolves and wolf demons. I slap my head. Damn I forgot about the wolves. They all stared at the fish. My father and Katsunori were sitting all the way at the back on a large flat rock with bones and dead carcass.

"Well?" I asked rudely.

"Koga mind yourself." My father said very strongly. I looked down at the floor.

"I-I only have enough food for the wolves." I said. I hear a few gasp and whisper around the den.

"Food...Is becoming scarce...And hard to find...We need to do something." I said. Many growled and sounded like they were ready to eat me.

"Koga...It wasn't your turn to hunt...It was Ginta's." Wolf demon Takayoshi states. Ginta sort of disappeared from his body figuratively.

"I know but when our brother's need aid. We should aid." I explain my reason. Ginta tapped my shoulder.

"You don't need to take the blame for me Koga." He says. I growled at him.

"I want you all to listen...Our tribe is dying whether you like it or not. It is because of this war we are in with ourselves. We are fighting another WOLF tribe. You cannot blame Ginta or me for food scarcity. It is because of this war that our food is leaving. No demon, human, or animal wants to get caught in between!" I spoke my mind and I know I will be punished for doing so. I looked into my brother's eyes. He was shocked. Then I looked at my father. He stood up from his resting place. His mighty power caused everyone to back aside and leave a clean path for him to walk. This path lead to me.

He walked to me and looked down upon me. My father was much taller than me and was full of battle scars. He was also way wiser and experienced. I looked down at the ground of the cave. "You have great bravery to speak Koga...So why do you coward down when you are confronted with and obstacle?"

I looked back up at him, only to be met with a fist. Hitting the floor it felt like my whole life was shattered. Ginta stepped back with awe. The tribe was quiet. This wasn't the first time my father had disciplined me...But that punch I only felt pain not discipline. "Koga...You are young and foolish...You do not know the meaning of scarcity." He walked back to his post and left me on the floor. My cheek was throbbing. I looked down at the floor full of shame. The wolves and the wolf demons ran for the fish and attacked it as if it were the northern tribe.

Later that night I sat back in the mouth of the cave staring at the waterfall again. Thinking about what I had said, and the punishment I had gotten for opening my mouth. Great...I always seem to get into trouble. I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Katsunori. "Hey."

I looked at him with my sore red cheek. "What."

"Don't be upset...I am proud of you...You spoke what you felt." He says. I chuckled.

"Yea and look what happened." I shook my head foolishly. Then I looked at him.

"You didn't eat...Did you?" He says. I shook no.

"C'mon I will get you something to eat."

"No thanks I'm not really hungry anyways." I was known to be the wolf demon with the biggest appetite.

"Well...If you get hungry just wake me up." He walks back into the cave. I turn and look at him as he walks to a female wolf demon. He shook her softly and then cuddled next to her. Yea and I'm supposed to wake you up. I shook my head no then walked to a spot where I can rest for the night.

In the morning Hakkaku woke me up. "What?" I asked groggily.

"You're oversleeping Koga." He says. Then he shook me again. I swatted at him. He soon began shaking me again but I refused to wake up. I heard him get up. Then soon he stepped on my tail. I shot up with pain and fury.

"WHAT'STHEBIGIDEA!" I shouted. He hushed me. I looked around to be met by several angry wolf demons.

"Why are you so loud Koga?" Hakkaku asked. I shrugged. I heard a couple of baby wolf demons cry.

"You see Koga you woke the babies." Female wolf demon Akane said. I apologized. Akane was my brother's wife. She was very nice and sweet but strong and loyal. She returned back to comforting her baby, my brother's son.

"Hey Akane? Where's Katsunori?" I asked her.

"He went to war with the rest of the tribe and your father." She says. What?! I was in shock.

"To war? In the mountains?!" I got up and walked to the mouth of the den and looked towards the mountains.

"Our men aren't even used to that cold weather...its suicide to go." I say.

"Yes but we need to...Koga." She says. Akane. I know she would be angry and sad if he never returned. He has a son and he leaves for battle. What a thing to do.

"You know Koga...If they don't make it we'll have to go." Ginta says. I looked at him. There were only 6 of us here. How can we win a war with just 6 men?

That's the end of chapter one...I hope you enjoyed it. If you review...Then I'll put up a chapter 2
