Chapter Nine: Courting, and the Temptation of a Demon's Lust

"Where the hell are Miroku and Sango!", growled Inuyasha sitting by a freshly built fire, which was only necessary to cook breakfast, since it was a beautiful, warm sunny morning.

"We don't know.", replied Kagome stretching her arms.

"I hope that they're ok.", yawned Mycia. But as soon as she said that, Miroku and Sango walked into camp.

"Morning!", said Sango, as if they had been there the whole time.

"Where were you two!", squealed Shippo jumping into Sango's arms along with Kirara, "We were all so worried! Are you guys are alright!"

Just then, Inuyasha sniffed the air, and smirked, "I'll say that they're alright." Miroku and Sango shot death looks at Inuyasha, who's demon nose had picked up Miroku's scent inside, and all over Sango, and Sango's all over Miroku.

"Inuyasha, what do you mean by that?", asked Kagome, looking confused along with Mycia. But before Inuyasha could answer Miroku called out, "Nothing! He doesn't mean a thing! RIGHT, Inuyasha!" Miroku then glanced at Inuyasha and put on a fake smile, which scared Inuyasha, "Right!" Just then, Shippo and Kirara took in a waft of air, and Shippo asked, "Why do you two smell so much like each other? Were you hugging or something?"

"Mieow?", Kirara meowed, cocking her little head and looking at Miroku. Sweat drops rolled down Miroku's and Sango's heads, as Inuyasha started cracking up. And between laughs, called, "You HA HA could-say-that HE HE HA HA HA Shippo! BA HA HA…" Miroku and Sango both turned beet red, along with Mycia and Kagome, who finally got the picture. Standing up, Kagome and Mycia took Sango by her arms and dragged off into the woods to talk. But before leaving, Kagome turned her head and shouted, "SIT!" Inuyasha immediately stopped laughing, and fell hard to the ground. "Serves him right!", thought Kagome to herself.

>>>>>>

"OH MY GOD!", Mycia and Kagome squealed at the same time jumping up and down, causing Sango to laugh at they're school girl behavior. But then Mycia spoke up, "So are you guys like boyfriend and girlfriend now! Are you both like in love! OMG, are you getting married!"

"Well, yes, I guess you could call it that, and yes, we both told each other how we felt. But no, we're not getting married…at least yet.", replied Sango smiling. Then it was Kagome's turn, "So, Sango…how was he! Was he good! You HAVE to tell us!"

"Kagome, that's kind of personal……let's just say that on a scale of one to ten, ten being the best…eleven." All three of them began to bust up at that comment, then both Mycia and Kagome hugged Sango, while Kagome said, "We're so happy for you Sango, you and Miroku make a great couple!"

>>>>>>>

There was a long silence between Inuyasha and Miroku, who just sat starring at each other, until Miroku finally asked, "Well?"

"Well, what?", answered Inuyasha.

"I know that you want to know what happened between Sango and I, so just ask."

" Heh, I already know what happened between you two, you're scent's are all over each other, how can I not know!"

Miroku sighed, grinning, "You've got a point." By now Shippo was really confused, "What the heck is everyone talking about! Miroku, what did you and Sango do that's such a big deal!" (by the way Kirara is with the girls) A sweat drop went down Inuyasha's and Miroku's heads as Miroku tried to answer, "Well Shippo, uh, you see…we…did what you said earlier, we hugged."

"Smooth.", Inuyasha mumbled, trying not to laugh.

"Shut up!", Miroku snapped back quietly so Shippo wouldn't hear.

"So I was right!", Shippo grinned with pride, "So, it was a friendship hug then? -gasp- are you and Sango boyfriend and girlfriend now! Was it that kind of a friendship hug Miroku!" Inuyasha couldn't hold it in. He on the ground holding his gut because he was laughing so hard. A sweat drop rolled down Miroku's head as he answered, "Yes, Shippo, yes, Sango and I are boyfriend and girlfriend now, so no more questions on the subject, ok?"

Shippo giggled and answered, "OK!"

Over the next few days everyone noticed how much Sango and Miroku were in love with each other. Neither one of them would never leave the other's side, and Miroku, would not grab any other women's butt, or flirt, or anything like that…except for to Sango. She still slapped him for the butt thing though, because she did not want him doing those kind of things to her…in public.

End of Mir/San moment

The weather that day was perfect. There wasn't a cloud in the baby blue sky, the sun was warm and welcoming, and bright flowers of purple, pink, white, and yellow were surrounding our favorite people/demons, as they walked through a meadow. Everything was peaceful until Inuyasha's ears twitched, and he growled.

"Inuyasha? What is it?", asked Kagome. But before he could answer, a large whirl wind appeared to the right of the group, and headed straight for them. Mycia's eyes twinkled with delight, she, along with everyone else, new that whirlwind. No sooner than Kagome had asked, Koga was standing in front of Mycia, with a small smirk on his hansom face. Inuyasha was about to shout at Koga, for no particular reason, but before he had the chance, Mycia chirped, "Hi Koga!"

"Hey,", Koga replied coolly, "Mycia, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it?", Mycia began to turn light pink.

"Well, I-", Koga started but then stopped when he noticed that everyone else was watching and listening closely to they're "private" conversation.

"Do you mind!", shouted Koga. But when a sweat drop went down everyone's heads, Koga "Feh'd", then turned his back to Mycia and got down on one knee, "Hop on, it doesn't look like we're gonna get much privacy here." At first Mycia hesitated, and glanced over at Kagome, who was vigorously nodding "YES". And with that encouraging "word", Mycia climbed onto Koga's back. Koga then stood up, and sprinted off, faster than the blink of an eye.

"It feels so good to be near him," Mycia thought to herself, "I wonder where he's taking me? Or what he wants to ask me?" Koga was extremely pleased that he had finally worked up enough courage to ask Mycia the question he desperately wanted to know the answer to. He was also pretty happy that he had her on his back at the moment, and let's just say that Mycia was loving it too. After what seemed like hours of super speed running, Koga finally began to slow down until he was walking, then when he had gotten them to they're destination, he let Mycia off of his back. Mycia starred in awe at the beautiful sight. Koga had taken them to a beautiful water fall, where there were luscious green ferns and moss everywhere. The water was sparkling blue, and magnificent flowers, of every color, shape, and smell were surrounding them.

"Oh my gosh Koga,", Mycia started, "this place is beautiful. How did you ever find it?"

"Well, when you travel alone sometimes, like I do," Koga replied softly, " you just happen to bump into beautiful things when you travel, for instance, I'm looking at the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen, right now." Mycia turned to see what Koga was looking at, but was shocked to see that he was gazing at her. (I don't care if you think that was corny! lol, I think it's cute! Lol.)

"Oh,", Mycia felt a little embarrassed, for some reason wouldn't blush, "well, thank you Koga, that's really sweet of you to say." For a moment they stood next to each other looking at one another. Koga couldn't help but to notice how many damn curves that Mycia had. He also couldn't help but to look deep into her gorgeous hazel eyes, which looked into his icy blue, but caring eyes at the same time. Then he glanced down at her moist full lips, and oh how much Koga longed to taste her lips, to taste…her. And what was making Mycia almost irresistible, was that she was in heat. Koga's full demon blood, urged him to just take her right then and there, but he would not allow himself to do that, he wouldn't allow himself to hurt the woman he so deeply loved in that way. It was weird though, he had never felt this way before, even towards Kagome when she had been in heat in his presence. For this reason, Koga was certain that he and Mycia were meant for each other. After a few more minuetes of silence, Mycia turned her face away from Koga and asked, "So, what did you wanna ask me?"

"Oh right.", remembered Koga, then he took her delicate hands into his rough ones, led over to a couple of smooth rocks, and sat down.

"Well," he started out, "First of all……do you have any family? I mean, besides Kagome?" For a moment Mycia just stared at him, but then shadowed her eyes with her hair and replied quietly, "No. Both of my parents were killed in a fire that destroyed my home. Kagome and her family, are the only ones that I have left." For a second Mycia stayed with her eyes shadowed, and while she did so, Koga turned around and slapped his head, hard, a couple of times, shouting to himself, "You stupid idiot! Why did you ask that! Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!" But as soon as he turned around Mycia's whole face was showing again and she was smiling, "Well, that all happened so long ago! And there's no use living in the past! So, what about your family!" At first Koga was afraid of Mycia's sudden mood change, but slowly answered, "My father and mother are the leaders of the wolf demon tribes in the whole Northern and Western regions of the mountains, so I don't know what they're doing right now. Probably trying to find a way to conquer the Southern or Eastern regions, or something." Mycia smiled at that, he was trying so hard not to show off in front of her. For a good hour, Koga and Mycia talked about each other, to each other, just sharing info. And the really weird part is that Koga, a man, actually listened to what Mycia was saying, instead of just tuning her out like most men would when a woman's talking to them.

There was another short silence, but then Koga broke it by saying, "Mycia, before

I procrastinate any longer, I have to ask you…"

"What is it Koga?", asked Mycia softly putting her hand on his.

"Alright, I know that we haven't known one another for too long, but Mycia, I'm sure of it, you are the one for me, I love you. May I court you?" Mycia stopped breathing for a moment and just starred at Koga. "Oh crap, she's gonna say no! It's probably because I'm a demon! I'm so stupid for even trying to ask!"

"Oh Koga, I love you too. And yes, you may court me!", cried Mycia hugging him. Koga hugged her back, stunned at first, but then the goofiest grin on earth, filled his face. But before anything else would be done, Koga looked at Mycia and said, "Alright, the first step of wolf demon courting, is that I need to mark you, so that other demons will know that your not for the taking."

"Uh, ok.", replied Mycia, a little weary of what kind of "mark" that Koga meant.

Koga nodded, and had Mycia roll up her right sleeve, so that her shoulder was exposed. Leaning forward, and as gently as possible, Koga bit into Mycia's shoulder, causing her to wince in pain for a moment. Four droplets of blood appeared on Mycia's shoulder, but Koga quickly licked them away, and as soon as there was no more blood, the four fang marks, slowly began to fade away, but before they did completely a small crescent moon appeared in the center of the fading fang marks. And once the fang marks were completely gone, and there was only a very light crescent moon on Mycia's shoulder. Koga smirked sexily, and whispered huskily into Mycia's ear, "After the rest of the courting steps, if you decide that you do wish to be my mate, the moon will turn black, and become permanent, then there would be no turning back." Goose bumps rolled all over Mycia's body, as Koga's hot breath went down her neck as he spoke. Smelling Mycia's slight arousal, caused excitement to run through Koga's blood. But he quickly tried to shake it off, not wanting to do anything crazy. Mycia glanced at the light blue moon on her shoulder, nodded, then rolled down her sleeve.

"But Koga", Mycia whispered quietly, her golden brown hair covering her hazel eyes once more, "what about Kagome? I thought that you loved her! I mean, I can't even sense the sacred jewel shards, plus you've known Kagome way longer than me. So, why do you love me?" While saying that last sentence, Mycia's voice cracked. Koga felt horrible for making her cry. He put his hands behind her back and pulled her close to him.

"I know,", he replied, his rough voice somehow calmed her, "I know, that this may seem weird and all, but, that day we met, that day I saw your face, and smelled your sweet scent, I--I just couldn't get you out of my head. And it surprised me too, how much my love for Kagome dropped. So now, I can only think of her as just a friend, because, I have you now Mycia." He paused for a moment and they both just felt each other's hearts beating louder then drums in their chests.

"Besides," , Koga began again, wiping a tear off of Mycia's silky soft cheek, "the Mutt-face will finally be able to have Kagome back. And I've always really known deep in my heart, that she never really loved me any more then a friend anyway."

"So, everyone wins?", Mycia whimpered.

"Everyone wins.", Koga gave her one of his world famous smirks, and then winked. Mycia smiled up at him and sighed, "So, how many steps of courting is there?"

"Five, well, now only four.", Koga replied smirking seductively, "So that means she has to make her choice soon." he thought to himself.

"Well, I had better take you back now.", Koga said getting down on one knee for Mycia.

"Yeah, your right.", replied Mycia looking up at the now orange and purple sky, climbing onto Koga's back.

'Take her now!'

"What the hell! Get out' a my head!" , Koga battled with a strange voice inside of his head.

'It's the perfect opportunity! She's just a weak human! And there's no one around! TAKE HER NOW! Settle your craving's, do her, then drop her, she's just a woman, and they're good for only one thing! You know that you want to hear her scream, not in pleasure, but in pain. Take her Koga, take her.'

"Who the hell are you!", Koga shrieked inside of his head, "And stop saying these disgusting LIES! I would NEVER do something like that to Mycia! I would NEVER hurt her like that! Now who the HELL are you!"

'Hahahaha, I'm you Koga, I'm the lust inside of you, and I will keep testing you like this until you release yourself into this wench."

"NO!", Koga shouted out loud, causing Mycia to jump and let out a small 'eep!' on his back, he had never felt so turned on by such a small sound, and he sort of wanted her to make it again.

"Koga? What's wrong? 'No!' what?", she asked beginning to feel a little nervous.

"It's nothing!", Koga awkwardly called over his shoulder as he began to sprint.

"Damn it, that was close. I need to keep more control over myself, or else I might do something to hurt Mycia, I might chase away the woman that I love! I can't--no, I WON'T let that happen, I would never do that to her! And I sure as hell will never talk with my, 'lust' ever again either. That was just creepy!" Koga took in a deep breath of the chilly fresh air, clearing his head. Then he sped off towards the disgusting scent of the 'mutt-face', with the woman that he loved, and would never hurt, on his back.
