Duckgirl566: Okay, here is a new story. This is the sequel to "Hurt" that many of you have requested.

Ducky alter ego: It doesn't suck!

Duckgirl566: Yeah, it doesn't suck!

Ducky alter ego: Yay!

Duckgirl566: Huzzah!

The wind rushed through her hair as she ran to the only thing that mattered- him. I'm almost there. I'm almost home. She came upon the final stretch to where he was. The clearing was only a few moments away. His scent filled her nose and brought her comfort. She could see him now, standing there with his back toward her. A smile came to her lips as she ran even faster, if it was even possible. She collided into his back, knocking him down. She startled his waist and rammed her lips into his in a rough, but most defiantly welcomed kiss. He ran his tongue across her lips, begging to enter her mouth. She complied and opened. He tasted every inch of her, welcome to the taste. A soft purr rumbled in her chest. He growled at his enjoyment. She tasted him one last time before pulling away and smiling down at him. He smirked.

"I guess you missed me?" Tetsu asked, even though it was completely obvious.

"You have no idea." She gasped and got off of him. They both sat up and looked at the other's eyes.

"Good, because I missed you too Yoko," Tetsu said. He grasped her hand in his as they stood up and began walking around the forest, farther away from their homes.

"I never want you to go to war ever again Tetsu. I mean, I was so scared. So many terrible things could happen to you and I would never know." Yoko wrapped her arms around his waist and held him close. Tetsu returned the gesture.

"I know. But I have to go to war. I'm the wolf demon tribe's prince, it's my duty." He turned her to face him and lifted her chin and they locked eyes. "But I would much rather be here, kissing every inch of you." Yoko's face turned red as a cherry and she tried to look away. Tetsu smiled at her reaction. "What? You can't possibly tell me you wouldn't like that?" She blushed even redder.

"My father would so totally kill you if he heard what you were saying right now."

"Probably." The two teenagers walked to a river bed and sat down. They sat in silence until Tetsu got up, let out a frustrated moan and walked around in a slow circle.

"What is it Tetsu?" Yoko asked worriedly. Normally they would always sit by the river bed and do one of three things: Makeout, Talk, or sit in beautiful and understanding silence.

"I can't stand this!" Yoko got up and massaged his shoulders.

"Tell me what's wrong Tetsu? You can tell me anything," she whispered into his ear, causing a shiver to run all over him.

"I want to meet your parents Yoko. I want you to meet mine. You're turning sixteen tomorrow, which is well over marrying age in this era. I know you wanted to wait because of where your mother is from it's not normal, but here it is! I want to mate with you." She lifted her hands off of him and spun him around.

"WHAT do you want to do with me!" she shrieked. He held her hands.

"I want you to be my mate. I want to climb a mountain and shout my love for you so the world can hear it. I hate meeting like this. I hate that just because our parents are enemies that we can't be lovers. I hate it. I love you more than anything and I hate that it has to be a secret."

Yoko was speechless. He had just summed her feelings exactly in those few sentences. Tears began spilling out of her eyes. Tetsu held her to his chest as Yoko began to sob.

"I love you too. I love you so much it hurts," she cried. Soon her tears went away and she got a devious idea in her head. Yoko stood on her tippy toes, as the eighteen year old boy was much taller than she, and whispered into his ears.

"I had dreams about you while you were away."

"Really? What happened in them?" he asked, clueless as to what was happening.

Yoko leaned in closer, so that her chest was against his, so he felt two hard things against him. Yoko whispered the content of the dreams to him, while putting her right hand closer and closer to a 'hard' goal. She smirked and get back to her regular height.

"Now, are we ever going to ever act on those dreams?" he asked.

"Only if you can catch me Tetsu!" she shouted and dashed off into the forest.

"Hey! Come back here!"

Yoko was a fit of giggles as she heard her boyfriend chase her. She knew he was faster, but he would run at a slower pace, just to make their little game more fun.

"Oh my God Tetsu, Uncle Shippo can run faster than you can!"

"Now that was just plain mean!" They laughed at the joke until they were back in the original clearing.Yoko looked up at the sky.

"The sun is setting," she said. Both teenagers' faces grew grim. Their time together was up.

"Can I see you tomorrow?" Tetsu asked.

"Sorry, but I be celebrating with the people in my village and then I'm going to the other era with my parents to visit Grandma and Sota. I wish I could be with you, but my parents would freak if I left them on my birthday."

"It's okay, I get it," Tetsu kissed her lips. "You had better get going. I don't want the big bad Inuyasha worrying about his little girl."

"Ha ha, very funny. Bye!" Yoko called out to him and raced toward a spring near the village and jumped in. I hate doing this with my clothes on, but I can't have anyone smelling wolf on me, or else they'll find out where I was. Yoko walked into her family's hut sopping wet.

"Oh my goodness Yoko, what happened to you!" Kagome exclaimed. Kagome had stayed them same over the years. After mating with Inuyasha, she moved to the feudal era and visits the future every month. Inuyasha built them a hut in the village that was a lot like her house, with separate rooms but no second floor.

"I decided to go swimming?" Oh come on, you can think of a better excuse than that!

"Who is he," said Sango. Yoko just noticed she was stirring a large pot of stew in the kitchen area.

"I have no idea what you're talking about aunt Sango."

"Yeah, right. And Miroku isn't a pervert," Kagome and Sango began giggling at the comment. Yoko just sighed and grabbed a towel to dry herself off. She walked into her room and sat down on the bed brought back from the future. She began to think about the day's events while toweling her hair dry.

I miss him already. Tetsu was so right- we should become mates. But it would never work. He's the Demon Wolf Tribe prince and I'm a hanyou. I know I have noble blood, but it's not enough. I love him, but we can't be together. Dad and Koga hate each other, for reasons I don't even understand. Why can't they just get over it and move on!

"Guess whose home!" Haruko called into the house. Yoko's ears perked up and went into the main room to see her brother. Her mother was embracing her son and Sango was embracing his mate. One of Sango's daughters, Gen, fell in love with the hanyou when they were both 18. Two little boys rushed over to Yoko and hugged her legs.

"Hey Toshi, hey Ryo! What's up?" Yoko said to them. Toshi and Matsu are two of the five children Gen had with Haruko.

"Happy birthday Yoko!" they said in unison.

"Thanks guys!"

The children went off to play while the women sat together and talked.

This is so boring! I wish Tetsu were here. Yoko smiled at her thoughts. I would sit on his lap and we would whisper back and forth about how boring this place is. But in reality it would be the time of our lives.

"And what are you so happy about?" Yoko looked up at her sister in law.

"Who, me?" she asked.

"Yes you silly. What are you thinking about?" Yoko searched in her mind for an excuse but couldn't find one. She sniffed the air. Saved by the Father.

"Dad's home!" Yoko rushed up at out the door, only to be carried back in the hut by her father. Inuyasha smiled at the group gathered in his home. The family ate together and laughed together. But in the back of her mind Yoko couldn't help but think about Tetsu.

This is what I want. I want a family of my own. Now if only my parents would at least like the boy I adore.
