The head female takes Serena back to the other den, where she surprises the head female by actually knowing how to start a fire and cook. The head female asks Serena shocked, "Where did you learn how to do this?"
Serena replies, "My human Mother taught me how to cook, and clean. Then I got additional lessons from Naraku why?" The head female responds, "Well I'm impressed you can actually do something!"
Serena looks at her, and says, "Now I know you don't like me. What did I do?" The head female responds, "Never mind back to learning."
The head female takes Serena to a lake to teach her how to fish but she impresses her again with knowing how to already fish at least the human way to fish. The head female than teaches her all the customs, and ways of the wolf clan over the next several months. Serena has started to pick up on some of the skills she needs for hunting, although she still can't cut the animal up, she has to wait outside while it's done.
Serna was out on patrol with the head female learning all there is to protect the land as well as the rest of the clan. When the head female attacks a bear, and it knocks her off a cliff Serena runs away from the bear and hides in a tree until the bear leaves, then she returns to the cliff to help the head female. Serena quickly ties a rope she's carrying to a tree and throws it down to the head female, and then Serena pulls her up.
The head female asks, "How did you get away from the bear without a scratch?" She replies, "Well first, I didn't attack it like you did, and second I ran then hid in a nearby tree."
The head female asks, "Why didn't you fight it?" Serena replies, "Because you haven't taught me how to fight yet!"
The head female looks at her, and says, "Well now I owe you my life which means you now outrank me!" Serena smiles, and says, "I know isn't it cool."
The head female grumpily replies, "No, because now we have to return to Koga, and tell him he needs to place you with higher ranking women for the rest of your training."
She asks, "Why is that a bad thing?" The head female replies, "For you no, but for me yes. Never mind let's go to the den, and the Koga."
They go to the den and collect all the other women, then they all head to see Koga. She goes to Koga, and says, "Serena has just saved my life I think it's time we've rejoined the main pack."
Koga smiles at her, and says, "Impressive, exactly how did that happen Serena?"
Serena replies, "The head female attacked a bear, and it knocks her over a cliff so once the bear left I threw a rope down to her it wasn't much."
Koga asks, "Why did the bear leave?" The head female responds, "He lost interest, because she ran away, and hid in a tree."
Serena responds defensively, "I only ran away because you haven't taught me how to fight yet!" Koga looks shocked, and says, "Wait you took her out when you didn't teach her how to fight first?"
The head female hangs her head saying, "Yes I did." Koga asks, "Why would you do that, you know that's not how things are done here."
The head female responds, "Because she likes you that's why." He looks really angry, and says, "Go to the council now for your punishment."
The head female responds, "Fine Koga", and then she storms off. He looks at Serena, and says, "So it seems you like me."
Serena responds, "I don't really know you now do I." He responds, "True then maybe we should get to know each other, and be friends."
Serena smiles, and says, "I'd like that I don't have any friends here yet." He smiles, and says, "I'll show you where you'll be staying from now on."
He leads Serena to a section of the cave and shows her a carved out section covered by a curtain, and he leaves Serena to get settled in.
