Hey minna I know I just posted the first chapter but damn, I'm excited to jump right into the second one, hopefully this one will be longer than the first chapter, I really hope so. But I'm also bringing something back that I haven't done in ages and that's musical intros before each chapter. As some of you may remember I did this a lot the songs may not follow what's going on but they give a meaning either way.

Now on to the chapter! Please remember to review on your way out as well. Also, yes I maybe doing it similar to the original stuff but tweaking it a lot, but trust me when I get to the good stuff you'll thank me.

"Do you ever feel like breaking down?

Do you ever feel out of place?

Like somehow you just don't belong

And no one understands you

Do you ever wanna run away?

Do you lock yourself in your room?

With the radio on turned up so loud

That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like

When nothing feels alright

You don't know what it's like

To be like me

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked

When you're down

When you feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one's there to save you

No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life"

Welcome to my life-Simple plan

Chapter 2: The wolf Tribe

"Help me!" I struggle against the current, my body going in various directions as I try to swim through.

I could still see the duo on the river bank. "He-!" the current goes over my head knocking me underwater leaving me struggling to remain above it. "Kouga help! Sh'e heading for a waterfall!" one of the men on the river bank scream. As I break through the water, I see a man leap half way over the water and land 3 feet behind me.

"I'm he-!" I get swept under the water again this time the current pushing against my struggle to break the surface. I grasp my chest as the water continues to push me, no chance of being able to break through the surface.

"Kouga, she went under again! And she's getting closer to the drop!" one of the other males cried out. The male in the river calls back to them. "I'm on it!" I could hear breaks in the water as the male swims towards me. I instictively raise my arm towards him as I see him swimming towards me along the current, his body submerged under the water.

He takes my hand and brings me to the surface. I cough hard and gasp for air =, my eyes stinging from having them open the whole time. I see the male who saved me, his black hair tied into a pony tail with a fur head band on his forehead with crystal blue eyes. He looks to the river bank. "Ginta, Hokaku! Hurry and get a vine and then throw it to me!"

The two males run off into the woods and came back a second later with a long vine. The short hair male has the coiled vines in his hands and hands off a section to his friend who has a mowhawk who throws as hard as he can towards us.

"Catch, Kouga!" the male holding me up grabs it with one hand and looks to me. "I need you to trust me got it?" I nod my head rapidly. "Y-yes?" I stutter, mostly from the cold. He was rather handsome even under these circumstances.

"I need you to climb onto my back and hang on to me, we can't get out of this current ourselves so my friends are gonna have to pull us out." I nod at his words and wrap both my hands around his neck and hold tightly as his friends start to pull us out of the current which was getting worse by the second.

"Pull hard Ginta!" the mohawk male cries as they both heave and hoe on the vine pulling us out of the ragging river currents. When they got us close enough the twosome drop the vine and proceed to pull Kouga and me onto the bank, the two of us gasping hard from all the struggling and the cold water. I shiver violently and try to warm myself which is pointless since I'm only in a bikini and a swim suit cover.

"Y-you ok? Why are you dressed in your underwear?" the boys ask looking over at me as their friend Kouga gets to his feet and looks down at me as well. I can barely utter a word from my frozen lips and shivering body. "I-i-i-it's a-a s-swim s-s-s-suit." Somehow they understood.

"You know that was dangerous to be in that river to begin with." I open my eyes wider and I notice something about them, they all have pointed ears and tails! "AAAAAAH!" I scream and jump up and run behind the furthest tree from them.

"Hey, come back! Your in no condition to be running around!" Kouga calls out and the three of them chase after me as I take off running again. "Stay away from me, whatever you guys are!" I screech as they soon caught up with me which startles me causing me to roll down a hill.

"Ahhh!" I scream as I roll sideways down the almost never ending hill. "You idiot!" Kouga yells when he stops me with just his foot. How the hell did he get over to me so fast? "G-go away! Y-your not human!" I shake as I lean against a boulder just a foot behind me as Kouga looks at me percariously. "No shit, what the hell did you think I was?" I snapped at him, my spring green eyes turning into emeralds, hard and cold.

"Well, I have no idea WHAT you are! WHERE I am! All I know is that I was DRAGGED down through my swimming pool by a Kraken! And yet somehow I survived!" Kouga gazes at me, his eyes wide and unblinking. "How in the world did you get away from Uzukaza?! That demon is a menasing sea demon and you somehow got away?" Kouga yells at me but looks down at my nails before taking them in his claw like fingernails, strangely like how mine looked before.

"You have blood under your nails…. You reek of it too! You killed Uzukaza, but how?" Kouga covers his nose, his nose must be sensitive. Wait! Tails, pointy ears, sharp teeth and claws…. "Are you guys wolf demons?" I ask which catches Kouga and his wolf buddies off guard.

"How could you tell?" the short hair male, Ginta says. I poke my index finger into my chin and think. "Cause, I'm a wolf enthisiast." I stated prometly. "What does that mean?" they say after looking at each other. I groan and sigh remembering where I am. "Means, I'm facinated by wolves and what they do." I start coughing up a storm and almost fall to my knees in weakness, I know I got sick from being in that cold water for too long.

"You ok?" Kouga approaches me slowly and puts his hand on my forehead. "Oh shit, your burning up!" Kouga pulls me to him and lifts me in his arms so I have my chest and stomach pressed into his chest with my head resting on his shoulder. "Ginta, Hokaku! Come on guys, this girl's sick we gotta take her back to the den!" his words were distorted, my mind was too hazy from my fever that I pass out before hearing their response.

Xxx…

I can hear whispers all around me but they are faded. I knew I was dreaming. "Natalia you ok, sweetie?" mom's voice resounds in my head. I could hear other voices as well, the ones of my friends and even my sister and father. "Natalia Yujimoto what are you doing?!" my dad's voice echos after. "Hey Tali, you look great! Ready to go?" Jacob's voice echos the same words he said to me the day of our trip to the mall with my besties.

All their voices start to blend together and all scream my name. No, no, no!

I scream as I sit up. "AAAH!" I cover my face with my hands like I'm about to get killed. "No, no, please. I'm sorry…" I crack open my eyes and look around. I see about 20 maybe 30 pairs of eyes gazing at me, from men to women to even children. I blink in surprise until it hits me. "Where the hell am I?" I get to my feet in a split second and start backing away from the 30 pairs of eyes that are all stuck on me.

"I-i-I'll be g-going, now." I back up so fast I slam myself into the walk, knocking me off my balance as my knees buckle, bringing me to the floor. My hand rests on something. "Eh?" I look down slowly and almost choke on a scream. My hand was resting on a skull head, divoded of any skin or blood.

I take my shaky hand and slowly draw it back to my chest before I scream again this time scaring the little kids as well, who all jump back in surprise. "Hey, hey, hey. Easy girl, easy." A female, wearing a fur armor with a fur robe covering her arms. Her armor and wolf outfit look similar to the males who saved me from the river. Her tail sways as she comes closer to me.

"There, there. I'm not gonna hurt you." I look up at her face, she has a golden copper hair color, her hair tied into a braid hanging over her fur headband. Her eyes have a strange gray shade to them but has a hint of green within them, they could be hazel almost.

"Who are you?" I ask simply but blunt as well. The she-wolf demon smile at me her teeth sharp just like her finger nails. "Annie's my name. We saw the Chief bring you in with Ginta and Hokaku. You have a terrible fever and you had been unconscious for 2 days already.

"Two days? Oh no I have to get home!" I jump up but whince as I ste back down. "Your in no condition to go anywhere!" Annie scolds me, pulling me back to the ground. "You got seriously hurt from the rapids, your lucky the water was so cold it numbed your injuries or you would've fallen unconscious as the river swept you away." I look down and saw a big bruise on my upper thigh, it must've been when the kraken demon, Uzakaza grabbed me.

Either way, Annie was right. There's no way I could get home in my condition, let alone know hot to get home. All I know is that the lake is the key to going back to my world. This place is crazy and insane especially all the demons.

"Your wolf demons, aren't you? Just like those three who saved me.." I say with honest, making Annie look up at me. Her eyes were glowing even in the dim lighting. When she nods at my question I repond. "Where are they now?" I look around the cave which must be their den since there's so many of them in one place.

"They're look around in the back, hoping to find you some clothes. Your 'swim suit' Ginta mention, had dried but the constant wind blowing isn't helping with your fever." I raise my hand to my forehead and could feel it was still hot as it was by the river. I could hear shouts from the back of the cave tunnels, which must lead to other rooms. This must be a big cave to hold all these wolves.

"Speak of the devils." Annie snickers as Ginta and Hokaku waltz into the big den area. "Oh she's awake!" one of them say. "Kouga, kouga! She's awake! The girls awake!" the other male had called towards the cave tunnels where they came from.

A second later the man who saved me from the river walks in carrying the same thing Annie and the rest of them are but it was a tinted green armor plate with the same exact furs. "Good, how are you feeling, girl?" Kouga and his two friends walk over to me, Annie bows her head slightly to Kouga and walks towards the other female wolves.

"I-I'm ok. Are those the clothes I'm supposed to wear?" I look down at the items in his possession as he passes them to me. "Yes, I hope you don't mind. You can't be running around like that around here, you may end up getting mated in no time." Eh? Mated? I don't like the sound of that happening anytime soon.

"Thanks so much and it's not a problem." I stand up slowly, testing my bruised leg out. "is there someplace I can change into privately?" One of the boys nod and points towards the tunnels. "There's a hot spring over there, but don't worry nobody's back there at the moment." I bow my head in thanks as I walk slowly towards the tunnels and head into the first room open which was the hot spring.

I lay the items on a rock as I strip from my bikini and cover up and looked down at the furs. "Uhhh…" I look with confusion at the clothing items. I inch my way towards the entrance and hollar out. "Hello?" I saw the male wolf with the mohawk look down the tunnel at me.

"Whats wrong?" he asks quizzically. I blush slighly and stammer. "C-can a female wolf h-help me put this on? I-i-I don't know how it goes on?" the male gives me a kind smile and nods. "Sure give me one second." He steps away from the tunnel entrance and I could hear him call out. "Yukaza! Yukaza! Some assistance is needed!" Sure enough, an older fem-wolf walks down the corridor towards me.

"Hello, you child, I'm Yukaza. What assistance is needed?" She almost sounds like a robot, but she was just a more refined wolf. "I don't know how to put this on, Miss Yukaza." I hold out the wolf clothing to her as she takes a piece of clothing at a time and shows me where it's supposed to go. I actually have arm fur sleeves and knee down leg warmer besides the head band, the armor and the fur pelt skirt. The shoulder pads were hidden by a cap like cloth that only ended mid way on my back, covering up my back as well. The only thing was, was that my mid-section was showing off.

"This is really pretty." I look down at my body as Yukaza puts my hair into a side point tail, like I requested. "All done." Yukaza stands back a step and looks me over. "My, my you look like a jewel." I blush a light pink and look away from her. "T-thank you." I twiddle my thumbs with embarrassment. Yukaza takes my arm with her gentle claw-like hands. "Lets go present your beauty." Yukaza's statement makes me blush even more.

"Miis Yukaza your embarrassing me." I hide my face with one hand, which she gently tugs from my face. "Alpha, she's presentable." She quips which Kouga hears as he look over at me from his position ontop of a ledge inside the main room.

"You've done well, yet again, Yukaza." He gives her a small praise, which she bows and takes her place among the female wolves. I blush as everyone stares at me whispering "Those furs look like they were made for her" "She's really pretty" "Hope she's not taken" "Look at those melons"

I blush at every single whisper and look down. "Miss?" I look up and jump back a inch. Kouga is standing in front of me, I didn't even hear him move from his seat. "Y-yes?" I ask kindly, cursing inwardly at my stutter. His blue eyes look over me, probeing me rather than staring. "What do they call you?" He asks, his arms resting at his sides.

"Natalia. Natalia Fujimoto, b-but my friends and family normally call me Nata or Talia." I glance at his expression which has a ghost of a smile on his face. I raise one of my hands towards him. "What's yours? I-I already know it, but it's respectable if you tell me it yourself." That's what mom always drilled into me, you can never say someone's name unless they give it to you themselves.

"Kouga, I'm the alpha of this wolf tribe." He raises his hand, ackwardly and shakes mine. His hand is a bit warmer than mine and it feels nice even though his hands are callous from all his work and duty.

I drop my hand from his and give a small smile. "Your like the Chief then?" Kouga glances over at me once again after he takes a seat on a nearby rock. "You can say that." He scratches his cheek. I blink and let the smile drop from my face. "So I'll call you Chief!" Kouga nearly falls over in his seat. "Why!? You already know my name, there's no need for it!" I blink, my words leaving my tongue.

"It's respect that's why. I'm an underling while you're an Alpha, it's only right I call you that." Kouga gets even more flabbergausted, his voice rising like a helium balloon. "You make it sound like your apart of the tribe!" My temper flares due to his rising voice. "Then why did you give me these clothes? You could've just left me after getting me out of the river!" Kouga glares getting his face close to mine. "And feel like shit when you get eaten by a demon later when your sick!?"

I huff angerly, my face turning red from rage. "I took care of Uzukaza, didn't I?! I am fine on. My. Own!" I blurted out as I run out of the cave entrance and dash down the rocky mountain side. "Wait! Don't go out there!" Kouga screams at me from far behind.

I see that it was early morning outside as I continued to run through a valley. "Come back!" I'm drawn to a stop, not by his words but by the site that layed over the clift side I nearly passed. Demons, giant bird demons in the revene. "W-what? What are they?" I hear Kouga slowing to a stop behind me.

"No time! We have to flee before they find us!" Kouga grabs me by my arms and dashes back towards the cave with me trailing behind him. "Why are you running away? You're a wolf demon! You can kill those things!" Kouga doesn't say a word as we finally make it back to th cave.

I break his hold on my arm. "What. Are those Demons?" I said strictly, my voice showing no compassion or emotion. Kouga sighs and sits down urging me to sit down as well next to the early morning fire. Kouga looks over at me after a minute of silence, even the wolves are quiet. "Those demon's are called the Birds of Paradise. Late last summer they made that revene their nesting grounds and have hunted and kills many of my wolves, even the villagers down near the mountain are unsafe from their destructive nature. They'll eat anything but lately they've eaten more wolves than most other things in the forest." Kouga states, I nod my head.

"But you can't hide here forever, Chief. You have to get rid of them somehow." I get to my feet and clentch my fist. "You can't let them hurt and kill your pack, your family, you just can't! I know this well…" a meloncoly epression falls on my face as my knees drop me back onto the ground.

"What do you mean? Something happened to you before?" Kouga asks me, his eyes filled with curiosity and puzzlement. I nod my head. "I was picked on a lot when I was younger, back then things were never easy for me. I was the runt in my family, the one nobody really liked.

"Where I come from we have an education system. And parents would sent their kids to this learning place. Well, it was hard cause people treated me badly and different. I still remember, they always called me Dog girl, how I smelt like one all the time, especially how I acted like one.

"The only one who defended me was my older sister, Tavera. She's only a bit older than me and back then she always scared away the bullies. After that, I learned I needed to fight my own battles and be strong like her." I finish looking over at Kouga who was staring at me.

"They called you Dog girl?" he asked confusion written all over his face. I scratched my cheek lightly. "Yea cause Dogs would always follow me there. And it wasn't normal dogs, they were wild dogs." I sigh lightly. Kouga smiles at me before speaking. "Your right though, we gotta protect our family. But at the moment, we're not strong enough."

I nod my head. I could tell he was still weaken from diving into the river and struggling against it to keep me alive. Still I had never given them a proper thank you… I smile and sit with my legs folded under me and I press my hands into the ground. "Eh?" I heard Kouga said with confusion hidden in his voice. "Thank you! Thank you, Kouga, Hokaku and Ginta of this wolf tribe for saving me from the ragging river! I will forever be in your debts." I lean back up as I see the threesome confused and astounded.

Kouga slowly has a blush grow on his face, quickly tries to hide it with one hand while both Hokaku and Ginta blush as well but both avoid my gaze, while Ginta scratches the back of his head. I hear a union of laughters all around the den. Annie and Yukaza are the loudest of the wolves.

"You made the Alpha, the stone cold alpha BLUSH!" Annie laughs as she wraps an arm around my shoulder. Yukaza is right along next to her. "I've never seen Ginta and Hokaku be bashful before, it's a wonderful site!" the laughter continues for about a minute, to the point every wolf demon has tears in their eyes.

"PIPE DOWN!" Kouga barks, his face still cherry red. The wolf demons all quiet down as Kouga looks up at me. His gaze is dazzling and the shade of blue in his eyes look almost like jewels. Kouga looks almost speechless as he looks at me. "Hm?" I quip at him since he was staing at me for almost a minute.

He raises a finger towards me, his eyes glance away before he drops it. It almost seems like he was conteplating his words. "Spit it out, Chief!" I say impatiently, it's odd to see him at a loss of words since he's always got something to say. "There's...a spare room… if…you want….to stick around…?" His words come out half choked and chosen wisely without making it seem like a demand.

"REALLY?" My eyes go to the size of baseballs as I look at him. Kouga nods and he makes a grunt of a noise as I slam into him, hugging the life out of his demon body." "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Ginta actually had to pull me off of him, I was so strong I had almost suffocated him. Kouga coughs and takes a deep breath.

"Gomenasai." I murmur quietly, but enough so he can hear. Kouga smiles and laughs. "Nah your strong, like a wolf, just like the rest of us." He then waves me over and lifts me on top of the ledge he used as a seat before. The pack settled into quiet as Kouga looks over everyone. Kouga looks at me and then out to the pack again. "introduce yourself." He says to me. "Oh. Oh yea." I say to him as I look out at all the wolf demons in the room, including the wolves themselves.

"I am Natalia Fujimoto. I vow, to Alpha Kouga, to always protect, care for and help in anyway I can, for the tribe. Please accept me as one of your own." I bow my head in respect. Kouga beams with pride, his voice echoing off the walls. "All right, you dangerous beasts, lets give Talia a welcoming howl!" With those words, the tribe of male, female and children wolf demons along with wolves themselves, all howl in my welcoming, Kouga including. A feeling of pride wells in me as I join in on the howl as well as the day soon grew into night.

DAMN 12 pages long, hopefully this will amount to a longer chapter than the first starting chapter. Damn even though the reviews I got were so little, they're very kind. Thanks so much, and don't worry I'm gonna do my best for this story because this one allows me to do things freely and still stick to the whole universe around the original inuyasha idea as long as I bring them in sometime after the next 2 chapters. This next chapter will actually be a half/half POV chapter.

The first half is gonna be from Tavera's pov and how she coupes with Talia's disappearance as well as how her family and friends take it. The second half maybe from Kouga's pov cause originally this chapter WAS supposed to be from Kouga's pov but I decided I wanted to continue her view of her almost drowning in the flooded river.

From it being from Kouga's pov in the next chapter, I may make him a little odd, mostly cause I'm not very familiar with his personality even though I know he's arrogant, a smartass, and stubborn beyond believe. Trying to get that out as well as trying not to make him look like an ass will be my biggest challenge.

Thank you all who reviewed my first chapter, please continue to support the story and I'll get the chapters out sooner, but don't forget I got two stories running along side this one as well so this one won't get updated as quickly as I am right now cause I saw all the great responses, so I wanted to give out another chapter as my appreciation.

Please review and have a wonderful 4th of July!
