~ The Valentines day surprise ( Koga) ~

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha or it's characters.

Koga had run to the village near the InuYasha forest in hopes to see Kagome. Sadly all his hopes were dashed when he arrived and the group had left to hunt down shards. The village Miko had told him that they had left days earlier. He groaned knowing it would be difficult to track them with their scent growing stale. He didn't dare go back to the tribe in the East. Ayame was there hoping to catch him today. It was valentine's day and she wanted to celebrate by mating with him. He didn't know why but he just couldn't bring himself to be with her. So going home was out of the question. His only hope was to catch up to the group and with his speed, it wouldn't be an issue for him.

He set off North in the direction the scent trail was the strongest. He wound up stopping as the scent approached a human village. He figured the group went into the village for the night to rest. They could have also only stopped for supplies but Kagome usually was fully stocked so that they didn't need to. They could have stopped to help with a rogue Yokai. He doubted it though since based on his senses it was a yokai village. After circling the village three times and not being able to find which way Kagome and her group went. Koga decided he'd stop in the village for information before heading home. He doubted they'd have any information on the group but it never hurt to ask. He'd just have to take his time returning home to ensure he didn't get back until tomorrow.

He had asked everyone and every answer was the same the group hadn't come into the village. Most had told him that there had been a little rain that day enough to wash away scent and moisten the ground but not much more than that. It annoyed him to no end that he had no trail and would have to return home. He decided he'd stop to rest for a while then start heading home. During his rest, he thought on his life and his pursuits. He came to the realization that he was no better than Ayame chasing after Kagome when she clearly didn't want him. With a heavy sigh, he decided to release his claim on the woman to pursue one that would return his affections. He was done chasing dreams that would never be. He decided two things in that time the first being that he was ready to take a mate. The second being he wasn't going to mate Ayame he cared for the girl but he didn't want to mate her.

He got up and slowly wandered around heading East slowly. During his wandering, he discovered a hidden alcove with a beautiful waterfall. The beauty of the place surrounded him and for a moment he stood there in pure wonder. As he took it all in his breath suddenly stopped as he eyed her. She was the most breathtaking woman he had ever seen. He watched her turn slowly as she noticed his presence in the alcove. She assessed him as her eyes roamed his form slowly. It heated his blood as a small smirk graced his lips. He knew he was handsome and was hopeful she'd be his match he was tired of chasing and being chased.

She assessed his form and liked what she saw. He was strong, handsome, and fast. His outfit allowed her a great view of his body and his muscle tone. She liked what she saw what woman wouldn't enjoy such a view. She could only hope he was as attracted to her as she was to him. As they stood there taking each other in she came to realize that she didn't want a one-time thing with this male. She heard his voice say, "Hi, I'm Koga of the Eastern wolf tribe. Want to become my woman?"

To say she was shocked was an understatement she blushed replying, "We hardly know each other and you're asking me to mate with you?"

He chuckled at her, she was so cute when she was flustered. It was true that they really didn't know each other but he did want to mate with her. Finally, after what seemed like forever he said, "I know but I am drawn to you and my instincts are demanding I mate with you. We will have a lifetime to get to know each other. Please tell me you feel the same I wish not to chase another woman that doesn't return my interest."

It seemed they had the same issue chasing after those who didn't return interest in being with them. She sighed and searched her beast for its instincts on the matter at hand. She soon found her instincts felt the same as his. She must have remained silent too long for his head went down and he slowly turned to leave. Without thought she rushed to him she couldn't let him leave like that. She grabbed his arm and the moment his head turned she crashed her lips onto his. Once their lips touched both bodies felt sparks and suddenly felt as if they were on fire. In a whirlwind of heated passion she somehow found herself on the grass with Koga over her. She was touching every inch of skin she could get her hands on. He, however, was growling at the amount of clothing he had to remove to get to her flesh. The more they touched each other the more each seemed to desire the other. Neither could stop themselves as clothes got tossed aside. Soon two naked bodies had become one and the passion continued as the two engaged in a dance as old as time itself. At the end of their joining, he howled to his pack and she cried out his name.

At some point during their union, Koga realized that she was a gray she-wolf. He knew they were breeding with only other gray wolves to bring the population up. He tensed up for a moment causing her to pin him to the ground. She had realized why he was suddenly tense he knew the rule set by the gray wolves. She kissed his lips before saying, "I have been outcast to find a mate outside the gray clan. I can't breed without sharing a mate or inbreeding. I refused to do either so I hope you don't mind lots of hybrid pups."

Koga chuckled before replying, "I don't mind in fact I wouldn't mind getting started now. Right after you tell me your name, my dear." She giggled before replying, "Well it is Valentine's day." She then promptly whispered her name in his ear.
