Late Nights

Summery: I continued to watch her sleep, finding her breath rhythm to be soothing, trying to decode what she had said earlier that day. Koga's POV Of "Early Mornings" Koga/OC One-Shot Rated T For Trix, The Cereal, The Rabbit, And All That.

Disclaimer: No. That's All You Need To Know: No.

Rating: It's In Summery. Just Look Up. Ohmigawd! The Sky! :D

A/N: This Is "Early Mornings" In Koga's POV.

I Did This Because I'm Still Trying To Think Up A Story For InuYasha/OC And Koga/Momo And I Have NOTHING. I Allow Anonymous Reviewers So, Members Or Not, If Any Of You Care, Than I Would Appreciate The Story Suggestions, That Does Not Mean I Am Certain To Use Them However!

Also, I Have Recently Starting Watch The Cosby Show On Netflik And May I Say That, That Show Is HILARIOUS! I Just May Have A New Addition To The Voices In My Head Thanks To It~ X3

With Other Old TV Show Comedies I Recommend That Are Available On Netflik: Cheers, Dharma And Greg (It's Not Instant Yet Though Through My Wii XP), Full House, And Jeanie In A Bottle. This Was During The Ages Hollywood Was GOOD, Because, Let's Be Frank Here—

Hollywood Does NOTHING Original Anymore.

They Only Do Sequels. And I Do NOT Like The Fact That They're Doing That With Disney Princess (Little Mermaid 2 Ring A Bell? If Not Let Me Just Tell You, Don't Watch It, It Sucks Rocks), Old TV Shows (They Are Presently Making A Smurfs Movie! SMURFS!), And Sequels To Movies We Kids Weren't Alive For To Watch The First One! (Tron Is An EXCELLENT Example Of This. There Is Tron And Tron Legacy, Tron Was Better Even Is The Special Effects Were Kind Of Corny)

I Really Like The Stage Where Walt Disney Was Still Alive; The Lion King, Aladdin, Robin Hood, Etc. The New Disney Princess Additions (Kinda Sorta) Are PRETTY Good But The Newest one, Tangled, Isn't Done In The Same Animation As All The Others But Eh—Still Pretty Good Considering It's Not Yet Another SEQUEL. I Really Liked Princess And The Frog, It Got Like Four Different Oscar Nominations! And The One For Best Song, It Had THREE Nominees! And Yet It Won ZIP! Nada! NOTHING! :D

How On EARTH Did I Go To Talking About My Stories To Old TV Shows To Disney Princess Movies… 0_o

Sometimes I Amaze Even Myself.

(PS This Was Before Koga's Pack Was Killed. I Cried At That Scene. Mostly Because I Had Ran Out Of Arizona Green Tea, But Still, I CRIED During That Scene! D':)

(PPS The Birds Of Paradise Are Still Living And They Still Have Their Jewel Shard.)

(PPPS Yes I Was Lazy And Just Copied And Pasted This Off Of "Early Mornings". ^^)

I looked around me, most of my pack being already asleep except for a few guards I placed near the door. I looked at my comrades, now how they could sleep in such positions was beyond me. I managed to look at Kizzy and smiled, she was in a normal sleeping position, using her hands as her pillows, as she slept near Hakkaku and Ginta, sleeping awkwardly around her though they had managed to give her an equal diameter of about 3 feet.

Yesterday I probably would've frowned at this and continued on my nightly routine with a pout at their closeness. Today I just smiled as if I was a witness of three good friends, because I had found out about something earlier that day that just caused me to look at Kizzy differently. I wasn't sure yet if this was a good sort of thing, but still, I continued to feel different about her bit by bit. As if her vision of the world was becoming mine as well.

I looked around again, my nightly routine was usually to simply do a last patrol with some of my comrades, come back, eat a last quick meal, check up on a few I cared enough about that I didn't mind the threat that I might awake another up, make my way to my bed in the back, and go to sleep.

I thought about Kizzy's morning routine. Only Ginta had begun asking her what she did in the morning, with Hakkaku finishing his sentence.

She gets her weird hat/basket… She walks about 3 miles or so to the nearest village…She goes fishing… Harvests some eggs from either a human's chicken or from a bird of prey's nest…She goes to some elderly human's farm and picks some food… Leaves him a gift in exchange for the food…And walks all the way back.

I frowned for a second, trying to think up what I did for my breakfast; get Ginta and Hakkaku to come with me… Hunt… Wash off the beast so the blood isn't completely visible for Kizzy… Come back, hopefully no Bird of Paradise have attacked… Share the food with my pack since the beast would always be too large for me to eat alone.

I looked across the cave at Kizzy, suddenly remembering that every time she went out, she never once met up with a Bird of Paradise. I remembered she said once she saw one in the far off distance which caused her to run the rest of the way home, I remembered feeling incredibly angry and possessive about it though I cannot remember what I may of said. Kizzy probably could, she usually remembered what others say from her memory.

I walked over to Kizzy and bent down to her.

She breathed in and out calmly, in through her nose, out through her mouth. I smirked as I leaned against the wall, feeling more at ease. For a second a tensed when her brow furrowed. Instinctively I put my hand over my mouth, remembering what had happened earlier today; my breath smelling so much like blood that Kizzy began to tremble. I slowly put my hand down, breathing through my nose, and Kizzy's brow relaxed, I gave a small sigh of relief as I allowed my muscles to relax.

(For Those Of You That Have Not Read "Early Mornings" Kizzy Has Hemophobia, A Fear Of Blood. And Yes, Most Of The Pack –With The Exceptions Of Hakkaku, Ginta, And Koga- Make Fun Of Her About It Behind Her Back.)

I continued to watch her sleep, finding her breath rhythm to be soothing, trying to decode what she had said earlier that day.

"Do you remember the day the girls cut my hair? And how you punished them for it, even though I kept telling you it didn't matter, and you just said that they harmed me, and needed to be taught a lesson?"

I did. I frowned at the mention of it. Though I wouldn't admit it, I thought of the incident daily whenever I saw Kizzy. Because of those girls she always asked me to cut her hair with a small knife whenever she thought it was getting too long. I personally, liked her hair better when we were cubs and it was long, the mention of the girls who forced her to forever cut it off always made me feel like walking up to them and punishing them for something that had been done long ago.

"Do you remember when I told you that we were all worried about you, when you were still getting used to the Sacred Jewel shards? And then you went to a healer, like I asked?"

I nodded, crossing my arms. It was another of infamous moments, another stubborn scream at Kizzy. To be honest, I always wondered how she could always keep her voice leveled.

"How worried you are about me, about getting hurt by the Birds of Paradise?"

I tensed; oh f*ck. She was going to accuse me of wanting her to be my mate like I had earlier when I kissed her forehead.

"Or how you always reacted when I told I was scared of blood, but that I was scared of how the pack would react? And you said that it didn't matter what I was scared about, as long I was still me?"

I nodded again, trying to act as if this was all as normal as "Nice weather today". Hoping she wasn't going to say what I thought she'd ask. Please don't say "Do you lov-?"

"…Th…Thank you."

I blinked, surprised. So she DIDN'T suspect anything…? I could feel myself flush, mentally I fought it going "No d*mn it!"

"Um, did you ever know why I called you Lord Koga?"

I frowned again, the feeling of my face going hot gone. WHY did she always call me that? I had known Kizzy way before Hakkaku and Ginta, I knew more about her than she'd like to admit, yet still-!

Sometimes I had to wonder if she even saw me, at the bare minimum, as a friend. Ginta and Hakkaku had already confronted me, smirking and smiling like idiots when they asked, when we were cubs and I had defended Kizzy about her rare hair color, if I "liked-liked" her. Continuously I had denied it, saying that Kizzy was simply a friend. In the end they made up a self-imposed swear to become Kizzy's friends as well and defend her for me when I wasn't around.

I never liked how she treated me like everyone else.

"'Cause I'm in a higher rank than you."

She put a hesitant finger to her lower lip, "I call… I call the others Lord and Lady, because of that too and-and I feel like I have to, like it's… it's my duty in exchange for causing trouble with my hemophobia…"

I tensed, about to lecture her that she didn't owe them NOTHING, but before I could say something she interrupted, spewing out, "."

I blinked, Kizzy looked down, vainly trying to hide her red blush. I turned red as well, glad she wasn't in a position to see it, forcing it back down, I continued to stay silent, waiting for her to continue.

"I-I… I call you Lord Koga because I… I want to… Because I-I respect you…? N-Not because I feel like I HAVE to…?"

She tried to look up, thankfully my skin color already back to normal, "Can-Can I please continue to c-call you Lord Koga?"

I smiled.

I took a step forward, ignoring the fact her body tensed when I did so, "Kizzy…?"

I hugged her, I felt her body freeze in the same childish, innocent, way it had when I had kissed her forehead.

(Ah Yes, The Koga-Kissing-Kizzy's-Forehead Scene… I Do Wish Someone Would Draw It On DeviantART Or Something, It's One Of My Favorites, After Koga Checking On Kizzy's Actual Temperature Lol X3

Anyway, For New Readers, Koga Had Kissed Kizzy's Forehead, Mostly To Tease Her/Accuse Her Of A Crush On Him. Continuing On!)

"You can call me Lord Koga…" I whispered in her ear, feeling more at ease, having a new definition of the name she had given me.

I gradually let go, actually liking the position I was in earlier. Seeing how she felt awkward about the situation, and completely distracted, I grabbed her breakfast and began running up to the den, not using my Jewel Shards.

I said the first thing to come to my mind as I left her, "As long as I get to call you my mate!"

I turned neon red as I looked up, hearing familiar laughter from Ginta and Hakkaku as the howled with laughter, waiting patiently on the ledge, trying to say, "I-I-I TOLD you Koga l-liked her!"

I looked back, seeing Kizzy's face still red, but obviously oblivious to what the two idiots up there had said. I would kill them later.

"Lord Koga! P-Please give me back my fish!"

I glared daggers at the two, frowning as I allowed Kizzy to catch me, the two froze and I could hear them saying whispering "S-Scary…" as they ran off to hide in the cave.

Kizzy's arms went around me in exasperation to get her food.

I had to smile at that.

I smirked again at the memory and looked at the knocked out pair besides me, the two of them having numerous bruises, and each a swelling black eye for that outburst.

I gave a sigh as I began to comb Kizzy's hair with my fingers, not noticing my out-of-character action before turning red. My head jerked to where the guards were and frowned.

D*mn it, they were asleep.

I gave a small sigh, I'd let them off tonight since I didn't want them to see what I was doing, but if they were still asleep when I awoke…

My fist tightened but Kizzy turned over so she was facing me, though she was still asleep. I almost laughed.

I thought about what I had said, when I told her she could call me Lord Koga in exchange for becoming my mate. I scratched the back of my head, d*mn. Sometimes I wished I were one of those people that think before they speak.

I looked down at her and smiled as she curled up besides me, where the body heat was. I almost burst out laughing but didn't, I chuckled softly to myself instead at her subconscious actions.

To be honest, I found them befitting and cute.

I hit myself for thinking that, the thought taking up so much of my mind, that I had accidentally said it aloud. I blinked recalling that I didn't, and gave a sigh of relief, before calling myself stupid several times.

But then I thought about it; about Kizzy becoming my mate.

It was a nice picture.

I thought about it some more, Kizzy was young though, barely the age of courtship. In three months she'd be about 15ish, I knew this because father had forced me to be present at almost all births, telling me to not be ashamed, to take this as a fact of life. I remembered thinking;

"This fact of life is yelling at her husband.

"And is now telling him that this is his fault.

"And that he'd never get to touch her again.

"And up and told everyone in the den that his parents weren't mates when they had him."

I was sure father turned red as well at the last part, that couple had been Kizzy's parents. Which now that I think about it was unbelievable. Her father, Kiba, was more go-with-flow, and annoyingly optimistic, also be constantly late for almost everything. Her mother, Sakura, had been uptight and commanding, always yelling at her mate. The two seemed nothing like their daughter.

But Kizzy's mother died 9 months after Kizzy was born, being taken away by the Birds of Paradise. Her father died in one of our small battles with the Northern Wolf Tribe a year or two later. Kizzy had no other family, so father took her in. He continuously reminded me of what day she was born so I would never forget it and be able to treat her more like family since "We are all she has left now. Let's let her have her the memory of the date her birth as well." The date was now burned into my memory, July 23rd.

I thought about it again. I could… I could ask her to mine in the FUTURE…

I looked down at Kizzy. I frowned and shook my head. She wouldn't like that.

I thought about what I would say if she asked me about my comment of being her mate.

"Hmm…"

I shrugged, I'd just tell her not to worry about it and tease her some more to get her off track. I thought about throwing her into the nearby lake. I laughed at the image that happened the last time I had done that. Ginta and Hakkaku had tried to push me off the cliff into the water as well, but failed miserably, landing into the lake themselves. I had turned and walked away before jumping into the lake myself in a run.

This had caused Kizzy to pout and say now she was soaking and smelled like a wet dog. I had teased her once more saying, "I think you'd look more cute as a puppy" causing Ginta and Hakkaku to erupt into laughter and kept me unable to keep a straight face as Kizzy turned red and hid her face by diving into the water.

I mentally burst into laughter at the memory and continued to absentmindedly comb Kizzy's hair. I looked down at Kizzy and smirked, wanting to stay here tonight. Then frowned at remembering the rest of the pack and the rumors they'd spread, as if they're old gossiping ladies. I looked back down at Kizzy, she already had enough to deal with…

I gave a large sigh as I quickly stood up, only to fall back onto the floor since my head had hit the lowered ceiling.

(Lol XD Who Has Read "Early Mornings"? Who Remembers That Kizzy Had To Stand Up Slowly To Not Scrape Her Back OR HIT HER HEAD? KARMA FOR SEXUAL HARASMENT KOGA! Koga: -Red- Sh-Shut Up Stupid!)

"D*mn-!" I began as I clutched my head

I froze as I realized I was yelling, I frantically looked around and saw no one awake around me… I looked at Ginta and Hakkaku, both were still asleep… I looked down at Kizzy…

Oh sh*t.

Kizzy sat upright, red, as she began apologizing like crazy for pretty much no reason at all.

"Shh! Shh! Kizzy, Kizzy! It's my fault, just go back to sleep…!" I tried, doing my best to have my voice louder than hers but still quiet enough that whole den wouldn't awaken

"I am so sorry Lord Koga! I-I didn't mean to, I-I swear! Please forgive me!"

"Kizzy!" I snapped as I held her shoulders, causing her to look up at me, quiet, "It's MY fault, I'll go now, so just go back asleep."

She looked down and whispered a last, "I'm sorry Lord Koga…"

I sighed, feeling bad for her making her feel guilty.

"Kizzy, look," she continued to look down, I raised her chin to look at me, "I don't want you to fall asleep feeling like this."

She nodded dutifully, though her head was up, her eyes were taking an interest at the cold ground beneath us.

"Kizzy…"

She looked up at me with big green eyes.

"Kizzy," I tried to think of a way to make her feel better

My only ideas were teasing her so she'd blush, causing her to focus on something small I'd point out rather than the guilt she felt. That was all I could do huh? Tease her?

D*mn it, I'd be a horrible ma-

That's it.

"Kizzy," I whispered, our foreheads touching, her cheeks already turning pink, we stayed like that for a minute

I kissed her nose, smirking, "You look so cute when you look at me like that."

She turned red and looked down.

I chuckled as I put my hand on her head, messing up her hair, "What? I just complimented you."

She stayed silent as she continued to look down, failing at hiding her red cheeks.

I smirked as I thought of something that may happen if I didn't claim Kizzy as my mate, "Heh."

Her eyes looked up, curious.

"I never thought of that before…" I said examining her face closely, still smirking

"Th-Thought of what?" she looked up

I kissed her lips gently, her body froze again, and as I pulled away I smirked wider.

"That someone is going to try to steal you away from me." I caused our foreheads to touch again, smirking wider, "Don't worry Kizzy, they aren't going to win."
