Sorry about not up-dating in so long, but here is the second chappie. ENJOY RR!
Chapter Two
The dragon flew over to me and landed, the rider slipped off.
"Naomi Chan, daughter of Coda Chan lord of the Okami tribe" The rider asked.
"Maybe." I answered"And you"
"Akurei Long, master of the Ryu tribe."
"How can I help the Dragon tribe"
"By marring my son."
"Really? I'm an okami, not Ryu." I said firmly.
"So? Rei wants an okami half bred for some reason, and I knew Coda had a fling with a human. So what do you say"
I could feel Inuyasha's anger rising to the point where I though it was going to spill over. I need a plan. Koga! He was an okami, it could save me for a while, till this rider learned the truth and would seek Koga out and kill him. I swallowed, what am I going to do?
"She's already taken" Inuyasha spoke up"She's mine."
"We'll see about that" Akurei yelled and came towards Inuyasha, but I jumped in front of him.
"I think a challenge would seem appropriate. A Challenge between Rei and Inuyasha." I said as strongly as I could"The winner gets me and the loser loses his pride. No dragons and No swords, just skill against skill."
The two glared at each other, but they both agreed.
"In three days, on the noon of the third day the challenge will accrue." I told them and slipped out of the middle of them.
Inuyasha was madder then a flaming fireball. I went into the clearing and sat down. 'What did I just do?' 'A challenge? Oh I'll defiantly be there.' 'You aren't helping you know.'
"Naomi? Why did you call a challenge" Inuyasha asked.
"Because you both want an Okami Princess and it was a much better idea then to say I was promised to Koga." I told him.
"I haven't meet this Rei, but you're right, it is defiantly better than saying you're promised to that self-absorbed Koga."
It doesn't mean" I stopped before I could say something I'd end up regretting.
"You stopped. Naomi what were you going to say"
"Hmm? Oh nothing." I said quickly.
"Naomi" He said adding a slight growl.
"Don't you growl at me." I growled back, standing up.
He took a step closer breaking a boundary that we had placed. I wasn't scared, just nervous. He smirked like he knew I was nervous about this. He took another step forward and I took a step back, and hit a log losing my balance. Inuyasha grabbed my hand and pulled me to him. He held me to his chest, I was stunned, I could scarcely breath.
"Inuyasha" I asked.
"Shh." He said nipping my neck.
"Inuyasha, please" I begged 'Oh god, this isn't right'
"You know I'm going to win. No twit of a Ryu prince is going to take you from me." He said harshly.
I knew he was right, I felt it. I looked up into those amber eyes and wrapped my arms around his waist taking a deep breath of his scent. He had a handful of my hair and tilted my head back so he could see into my eyes. He tilted his head down and kissed me gently. He pulled away and looked at me. I smiled weakly and something hit me right in the middle of my back. I shrieked and began to fell as though I were sinking.
"Inu...ya...sha!" I gasped in raspy voice"Get...it...out"
He stared at me, and reached to my back. A new pain shot through me when Inuyasha pulled out what appeared to be a dart. I felt myself fall into Inuyasha's arms. The last thing I heard was Inuyasha yelling "Naomi, don't you dare die on me"
-
His lips were as sweet as honey, soft as flowers petals. His hands were curled and tangled in my hair. My hands were at his waist, slipping his hakura. His skin was warm. He kissed me, this time making it more demanding and more passionate. His hands traveled down my body. He stopped at my waist and kissed my neck. I shivered. He chuckled lowly and I went to rub his ear. He purred and I nuzzled his neck. I nipped him lightly before kissing his neck in the same spot.
"Naomi" He asked before shaking me...
-
I felt sick all of a sudden and didn't want to open my eyes, but I did anyways. I looked around and almost screamed when I saw Inuyasha next to me. He must have felt me stir, because bolted up and looked around.
"I'm all right." I whispered. He looked over at me with a side-glance, like he surprised to see me awake.
"Hi." He said, almost sighing.
"Hi." I said. He pulled me back down with him. I cuddled up next to him and drifted back off to sleep.
-
There was a lot of movement going on in the hut, so I cuddled a little bit closer in Inuyasha, who held me closer.
"You need to train." I whispered.
"Why" Inuyasha whispered back.
"Do you know Rei" I asked, kissing his neck.
"Why are you making me go through this, it's obvious you've made your choice." He said rolling over me.
"Inuyasha, I have too. Haven't you heard? I'm an Okami Princess and I have two offers so I declared a challenge." I said kissing his cheek.
"What if I take you know"
"Inuyasha you can't. What if you lose? What will happen to me if you do"
"Are you doubting me" He asked, kissing my neck.
"No Inuyasha, I'm not doubting you. What if you take me now and you lose in two days? Think about it, what if Rei wants himself to be my first" Inuyasha stared at me in disbelief, but I think he was thinking it over. I pulled him down to kiss him with all the love that I felt for him. I pulled away, searching his face. I was puzzled, there were so many feelings in his eyes.
"You say you don't want me to take you, and yet you kiss me like that." Inuyasha said seriously"Naomi, can't you just say who you want to be with"
"I wish it were that easy, I really do, but if my father was still here he would make you both go through a series of tests. So consider yourself lucky." I explained.
He chuckled lightly"Last I heard Coda was still alive." I went into total shock. My father...alive! This can't be...the sword was passed down to me.
"What" I asked when I found my voice.
"Yes, he is. From what I heard he was moving-
"Sorry to interrupt you two." Sango said opening the hut flap.
Inuyasha groaned and rolled next to me. "Yes Sango" I asked.
"There's someone here to see Naomi." Sango said and closed the flap. Sighing I got up and changed into something loose and comfortable. I turned around, almost hitting Inuyasha. I glanced up at him.
"What" I asked.
"Nothing, just liking what I saw." He laughed.
"Perv" I yelled hitting him lightly on the arm.
"I'm not Miroku" He said, holding my face between his hands. I smiled, and he kissed me. We walked out together.
Outside the weather was nice, the cool breeze blowing around my body felt wonderful. When I saw him I thought only about the cold that suddenly ran through my veins. I felt Inuyasha wrap his arm around me and growl slightly. I nudged him in the side and smiled at the stranger.
"Naomi" He said"You're more beautiful then I remember."
The stranger had flowing white hair, and pure blue eyes. He wore long black pants, with a gray shirt. I recognized almost at once, from a childhood memory.
"Father..." I whispered, to stun to find my voice fully.
"I'm sorry it took so long for me to return..." Coda said"I heard you declared a challenge."
"She did sir." Inuyasha said stepping forward"Between myself and Rei, the prince of the Ryu tribe. It begins in two days.
"What's the prize" He growled
"Me." I said meekly, almost scared.
"What" He said in a pure rage"No daughter of mine will marry a good for nothing Ryu"
I swallowed "You weren't here, so I did what I thought was best."
"You are already promised"
"What" I asked.
"To Koga, he's a true Okami."
"No" I yelled"Never! You can't just come here and think you can say whom I am going to marry. If it's going to be either of them, it's going to be Inuyasha"
After that I ran. I knew both of them could follow me, but I didn't care, I just ran. I forgot where the river was, but I knew it was up ahead. I didn't expect to reach it as quickly as I did, and I couldn't stop in time to keep from falling in.
"Naomi" Inuyasha yelled.
I couldn't respond, I was to busy trying to calm myself down. The water was freezing and I was tired from running. I saw a log up ahead. With all the strength I had left I swam to it, my hands clawing into the bark trying to grab it. I caught a hold of a branch long enough to yell for Inuyasha. I saw His head appear over the side of the riverbank, he was holding his arm out for me. I tried to reach for it, but I couldn't.
"I can't reach" I screamed. 'Oh god, I'm going to die!' I felt the bark break beneath my fingers. "I'm slipping" The bark gave way completely, and I struggled to grab on again, but the current pulled my away to quickly. "I love you Inuyasha!..."
