In the dead of night the sounds of wolves snoring the night away echoed throughout the mountain cave, nothing stirred everyone including the pups were fast asleep. Kagome sprung up screaming in horror, drenched through her clothes in a cold sweat she looked around the room she jumped when Koga touched her shoulder "what's wrong Kagome" he looked at her with worried eyes, he held her close and nuzzled her. She let out a sigh of relief and shook her head "nothing just a nightmare..." She waited a moment, when she looked back to Koga she wore an expression of worry and grief "Koga..." She looked away "yea?. What is it Kagome" she let out a soft sigh "you hate half breeds but you keep trying to mate with me...I'm human you know this, I can't give you anything but half breeds..." Koga gave her a shocked expression "what are you talking about Kagome" kagome looked at him and let out a sigh "nothing" she got up and started to walk out of the den "h...hey Kagome wait a second." Koga jumped to his feet, wearing nothing but his bottom pelt he raced over to Kagome and grabbed her wrist before she left the privacy of his den "now wait just a second Kagome, what has gotten into you?" He pulled her close to him, he lifted her face up to meet his "any pup you give me, I will love and protect fiercely they won't ever know what it's like to have to cower in fear because I'll always be there. As long as it's you whom bears my pups it'll be better than any powerful demoness, it is you that I love Kagome and it is you that I want by my side. I don't care if your human, half demon or full" he bent down and kissed her lips softly and deeply, slowly he let his passion go and divulged it into the kiss. Her arms wrapped around his neck as she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him back, he lifted her up and wrapped her legs around his waist. Neither noticed or cared that the wolves began to howel, he carried her back over to the pelts and laid her on her back, he kissed down her neck nipping softly. Kagome let out little soft moans, it was long after when she felt something poking her she giggled softly and looked at Koga "take me...i want you to have my virginity" Koga looked at her and sighed sadly "i...i can't" he quickly continued to say seeing the hurt in her face "there's tons of things that you don't know nor probably understand. Even if I wanted to and trust me you don't understand how badly I want to, there are rules and traditions that we'll have to follow" Kagome looked at him "like what" Koga's face turned red as he got off of her "w...we..well like.." he though for a moment and looked at her "like this, wolves don't just have sex whenever or with whoever. Wolves mate for life, the first time we have sex we have to mate." He looked away "I won't take your freedom away unless your ok with it." She looked at him "what do you mean take my freedom away?" He let out yet another sigh "well...once we mate or if any Wolf couple mates the females right all get taken away, her main primairy objective is to take care of her mate and all his needs" He had put emphasis on the word all. "She protects him and her pups, in return the male protects her and the pups and hunts for the food, you couldn't leave the cave without me or one of the females knowing nor leave without the pups. You wouldn't be able to travel back and forth by yourself, you would have to have me along with you where ever you go, even if it is just to the river to bathe. I know you Kagome, I know how you are and how much you enjoy your freedom, to do what you what when you want" he smiled softly and held her hand. The sun rose, and without their knowledge the night had slipped past them as the bright early sun began to shine, Koga looked to the sky "it's time for us to get up and get to work, go find Airvianna she'll show you what to do" he stood up and gotten himself dressed with his tradional armour "wait" Koga stopped, turned around and looked at Kagome "yea?" Kagome got up and walked over to him, she bent over and grabbed his tail. She started to pet in, it felt soft and fluffy like a bunny's tail not corse like a preditors normally is, Koga just have Kagome a funny look and stared at you "uhhh...kagome...what the hell are you doing?" He pulled his tail away. Her face turned as red as a rose as she looked up at him "oh...uh...I'm sorry. I...just...i wasn't sure if it was real or not and I wanted to see but I was too shy to ask" he looked at her with a serious expression for a while why his mind sourted out what she just said, after a while he busted out laughing. He kissed her forehead and smiled, "I'll see you later ok? The males are going out today and training the male pups to hunt." He started to walk off "Oh yea that reminds me. Is it ok if I take Shippo with me?" Kagome smiled brightly and nodded "of course. You two go on and have some fun he smiled and left again this time he was on his way to get Shippo for some father/son bonding...he hopped...
While the boys were out hunting, Kagome went to find Airvianna which was harder then she thought. Eventually she found her "Hey, Airvianna. Koga told me to come find you, something about showing me what to do?" Airvianna smiled. "Yea, we all have different routes to suit us better but for right now you can just follow me" she smiled softly. "I always start the mornings with cleaning my mates and my den, why don't you go clean up your and Koga's too? I know his needs it. When your done we'll meet back here" Kagome smiled and nodded. Without saying anything else she went into Koga's den and began to clean, she looked around to see what work she had cut out for it and in fact. It was a true bachelors den. Messy and disgusting, she scrunched up her noise and began to work, she picked up and put everything away. As she worked she came across this huge mound of pelts, some dirty some clean she just rolled her eyes and threw it all into a dirty clothes pile the further she got the more curious she got as to what did he throw all of this on too...her eyes widen and had dropped she felt herself become irritated.
"All this time of sleeping on the hard cave floor and he had a bed!! Oh that's it he's in for it now" she cleaned the bed off and made it with fresh sheets, she continued to clean around the room untill all she had left was the floors. She gotten down on her hands and knees and started to scrub the floors vigorously, all the while she was cleaning the alone time allowed her time to think about everything Koga said this morning about mating and her freedom. She wipped the sweat away from her forehead while she gotten up off her knees "done" she smiled as she looked at the work she had done to the room. She grabbed her pile of laundry, met up with Airvianna and together they left to the stream the females used to wash clothing and dirty pups. The warm summer Breeze blew by them, the sun shined beautifully, the birds sung and the female pups and the young male pups who were too young to go hunt played. Their games was heard threw out the mountin, the females washed their and their mates clothing. Once the work was done and the clothes had dried they folded and took the clothes back inside to put them away, they each had finished their chores for the day all was left was to watch the pups untill the males came back...
Later that evening the males came back with happy pups in tow, they jumped about excited and proud of the catches each of them made. Kagome stood at the mouth of the cave while everyone else was with their families waiting for hers to show up...as the sun faded and the moon became to rise Kagome became worried, she looked around and found another male "where is Koga and Shippo. They didn't come back with everyone else" he and his mate smiled, his mate laid a danty little hand on Kagomes shoulders " I'm sure there fine, the males sometime get carried away." She was pretty but tiny. With long reddish hair that curled all the way down, baby blue eyes and freackles "my name's sayleen and this" she guestered to her mate. He was tall and with thick muscles all over his body, in a way to Kagome he looked kind of sick looking like that, his hair was dark where as his eyes were green. He gave the miko a kind smile "this is Rin, my Mate. Your names Kagome right?" Kagome gave her a small nod "well Kagome why don't you go to the falls I'm sure he's there with Shippo, here I'll go with you if that'll make you feel better" Kagome smiled "yes. Please" Sayleen gave her mate a kiss "I'll be back in a moment" he smiled and nodded, the two girls left to look for the wolf leader and Kagomes son. After a few minutes they made it to the falls, and their on the cliff stood Koga with Shippo sitting on his shoulders the two of them talking to each other with Joy and Excitement in their voices. "K...koga...shippo?" They both turned around and smiled at Kagome "I'm sorry to interrupt but I was worried about you two" they looked to each other, Koga sat down the fox kitsune, Shippo ran over to Kagome and hugged her "I'm sorry momma. We got side tracked" Kagome smiled and picked him up she held him close and walked over to Koga. He wrapped his arms around the both of them and Kagome smiled happily "it's ok, I'm just happy you two are ok" Koga held a serious expression "Sayleen take Shippo back to the cave. I need to talk to Kagome alone for a moment," Shippo looked up confused about the sudden change in Koga's mood, where as Sayleen and Kagome gulped nervously. This didn't sound good, and Kagome didn't like where this was going sayleen nodded her head and took hold of the young kitsune, "koga what's going on, was it something I did...or didn't do" Koga simply looked at her "we need to talk about our conversation from this morning. You know I care about you. I care about and for you deeply, but I need to know your answer. Are you willing to give up everything and mate with me. Kagome are you willing to become my Mate?...
