First let me apologize for taking so long! I actually left town for a bout a week and a half and then i checked up on how long ago I updated and it was almost a month! Im so sorry you patient readers (haha patience.. the story is called patience... God Im a dork.) Anyways, I'll just skip all this and go straight to the story. Thanks to all my loyal reviewers, I love seeing them everytime I check up on my story. Hope you enjoy this!
Oh and it skips around a bit, if its confusing let me know. But the first three lines are in the large den, then it goes to Kouga and Kagome secretly talking...
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. I do own Shun. and happen to like her even if she's after Kagome's man lol.
Shun's spit and snarls echoed through the large cave. She never hid her opposition of Kagome from the others.
"She is a human. She can never be considered our Alpha," She was baring her teeth, every muscle in her body tense.
"Worthless human. Pathetic women. She will never be worthy of Alpha," She sneered as she walked past, her pure hatred living inside her. And Kagome understood even if Kouga didn't.
"She wants to mate with you, Kouga," She whispered to him, laying a few feet from him in their cave later that night. He frowned, his head turned towards her curled position. It seemed every night the small space the slept apart was growing even smaller. Now he could reach out his hand and brush her soft cheeks, but he wouldn't because he didn't want her to retract. He didn't want her to realize she was slowly inching closer to him.
"She's just feels threatened. She wants to be Alpha," He replied. But she was no fool when it came to love. The looks she gave Kouga, that desire and passion. She was in love with him, complete in love with him. She looked at Kouga just as Kagome guessed she looked at Inuyasha when they first traveled together.
"I'll never recognize you as Alpha," Her upturned nose and proud, haughty look just reminded Kagome of the heart break the girl must be feeing. Her eye brows furrowed with pity, causing the young wolf to snap at her. They were out at the pools, the other women had already finished for the day. Kagome had been cleaning Kouga's fur pelts, only to have Shun approach her in anger. She wondered what Kouga had said that made Shun take it out on her.
"Do not pity me! I can easily skin you alive and rip the very muscle from you bones!" There was a silence to see if Shun would do anything.
"I wouldn't stop him, you know," Kagome finally said. She turned back to the pool, dunking one of the furs before pulling it out, rhythmically. Up and down she would let the furs sink into the water and back out. The movements caused Shun's eyes to focus on them. Shun didn't make a sound.
"If he fell in love with you. I wouldn't force him to mate with me. I don't hate you for your feelings and I wont ever try to stop you, but he loves me. And I want to stay with him." Shun softly whined as she stared at Kagome. She wanted Kagome to hate her as much as Shun hated her. She needed Kagome to hate her so she could hate her. Because then things would become easier. But when Kagome turned and stood, Shun saw why Kouga pined for the human. Her back was straight with her head high; the stance of an alpha. She wouldn't back down with hurtful words. She was stronger then that and would stand tall for what she believed in. Shun took a step back. She huffed before glancing away with her arms crossed.
"Don't think I'll just stand around and not make a move," Kagome smiled.
"Of course not," Shun smirked at her before fully grinning.
"I understand why Kouga likes you," Kagome blinked, slightly confused but didn't get an answer from the retreated Shun.
