Chapter 2 The coming of the prince of Wolves

" Sky? Sky? Are you awake? " My head shot up from the ground as I turned and saw a young girl standing in the doorway of the kitchen. Kagome.

" Hello, I'm just finishing up these dishes, then I'll be out." I turned to face the sink once more, but was interrupted by Kagome's voice.

" Sky, Kouga's here. Should I tell him you don't want to speak with him? " My head shot round to where she was leaning against the door frame. I dried my hands on the dishtowel and stormed past her, out into the yard. My snowy white hair dancing behind me as I walked. My feet made an odd clunking sound as they hit the ground outside In the yard. I looked around and my eyes finally came to rest on the steps leading up to the shrine. There, leaning against the gates nonchalantly, was a boy, older than I, with ebony hair and bright blue eyes. He looked over to me and grinned, straightening his back and taking a couple steps towards me. I stepped back as he reached out and touched my face.

" hello little brother. " He said, in his slow, menacing voice.

" Don't call me that….Why are you here? " I asked, bursting with anger inside. Slowly calming down, I reached up to my face and lowered his hand. " Why have you come? " I repeated.

" You know why. You went there last night didn't you? " I looked away from him, breaking my concentration on his smile. " She doesn't care anymore Sky. She's dead to you! Leave her be! " He screamed at me, his fists clenching by his sides. At that moment, that very minute. My courage broke.

" You're Just jealous because she doesn't love you anymore! " I screamed into the air as he lunged at my back , knocking me to the ground, and turning me over under him.

" You have no idea how much pain she's in right now. I know she loves you more than she loves me, but I still love her! I have ever since I first met her! That day when I saw the two of you in the forest, I thought I could have killed you. But I didn't, do you know why? Because you're my brother, and I would never do that " He stood up and held out his hand to me. " I respect you. And I trust you. Brother. " I took his hand and looked into his eyes. He missed her. And he hated me for what I had taken from him. I loved Seiya. But, I did something that day in the Forrest that was wrong. And I never felt shame for it. Until today. The day when my older brother would lie to me about the way he feels. We loved the same woman. But one of us was going to have to let her go. I turned away from him and began to walk back into0mthe house where Kagome was standing at window, with a look of worry on her face.

" Go home Kouga, " I shouted over my shoulder as I Stepped through the doors of the house, and out of his life forever.

" Why are you so mean to each other? " asked Shippou, who at the moment, was curled up beside Kilala on the floor. I walked right passed him and sat down on the sofa at the far wall of the family room. I sighed and leaned back, listening to the constant mumblelings of The sleeping form of Sango, who at the moment, was passed out on the couch in a leisurely manor, with her head in Miroku's lap, talking away in her slumberous language.

" Ah…. Lady trouble, eh? " asked Miroku as Shippou got up to go play with Kilala outside on the grass of the front lawn.

" No. " I said coldly as I turned over and began to plummet into the shadow which is slumber. It took me as I heard Miroku begin to snore. The dream happened then. That dream that haunts me to this very day.
