Hey everyone! Sorry this update took quite a while, I'm still planning how to proceed with this story so for now I will be continuing to update my other stories. If you have any suggestions or tips on how to improve then don't be shy!

I own none of these characters except my OC, Rose.

And thanks for reading~!

Kouga entered the den rubbing the back of his head feeling guilty. Rose was on the bed laying down looking towards the wall pretending to sleep. He walked closer trying to see if she was awake or not. Quickly she grabbed his arm and yanked him on the bed. Then she got off the bed and faced him looking at his confused expression. "You have to let me explain Kouga." He tried to tell her then he understood and there was no longer a need for explanation but she continued cutting him off.

"I never loved Daltar, and there was no way I would have ever been with him because I hated him! I hated him so much and I wanted everyone to know so I wouldn't have to be with him. I did horrible things to him; he probably still has scars all over his body. But you have to believe me; I was going to tell you! I just didn't kn-" She was cut off when Kouga yanked her hand towards him and said "Ah shut up Rose." He kissed her and smiled because he was surprised it worked so well. "K-Kouga!" Rose said as she jumped back. He shrugged, "Well I had to get you to be quiet for a second and I couldn't think of anything else." With his head turned, he glanced at her smirking. Rose just gave up in defeat and crossed her arms and turned her head.

"You don't need to explain okay? Dal- whatever his name is explained plenty enough, and I wasn't mad at you!" Rose turned her head back at him and smiled "I'm glad." Kouga just smiled back, and remained sitting on the bed, then stretched out his hand towards her. Out of curiosity Rose took his hand and let him pull her to him. Then she ended up sitting on his lap, she decided to tell him the latest news she just found out about while he played with her long hair. "Guess what Kouga?" "Hm?" He replied. "I found out that Mimi is secretly in love with Daltar!" She giggled in excitement for her friend. "Really?" Kouga said wanting clarification. Rose just nodded then put her finger on her lip. "Shhh! This is too secret! You can say this to anyone!" He just chuckled and shook his head, "Yeah sure, I won't say nothin'."

Rose quickly got up and put out her hand to help him up "Come on Kouga; let's go try to find out what they know before they leave! It's about time we eat anyway." He took her hand and they walked out together. "Rose are you sure you want to find out about what happened?" Rose looked at him puzzled, "Why wouldn't I want to know? I wasn't with them when they needed me, so it's my job to at least know." "Alright, if you say so." Kouga shrugged. They walked out to the fire where Mimi and Daltar were talking with a few other members of the pack. "Okay you guys! It's time to catch up." They went to Kouga's den and talked for hours as the light but cool breeze made their skin get goose bumps.

Rose was sitting in between Kouga's legs as he hugged her and tried to keep her warm. They both listened to Daltar and Mimi's story on how they escaped. The only reason they escaped was because they were sent to check out the mysterious presence they felt lurking around, so when they got there they found that there was nothing there. It was a trap, and by the time they figured it out, the demons was heading back towards them. Mimi somehow got Daltar to calm down as she hid their presence as the demons passed by. When they ran back to the pack they saw the massacre and right away started searching for the demons, but they never found them yet.

Then they eventually went back home to see if they could find anything when they ran into Kiba. Mimi said she couldn't stop herself from petting her, but she told Kiba to keep them a secret, because Daltar would be angry with the new arrangement Rose had, but it failed and they found them anyway. "So yeah, we escaped and left with Kiki then we started our long search." Mimi accidentally spoke out and Daltar lightly punched her in the arm to stop her hoping Rose wouldn't notice. Rose slightly chuckled, but it quickly died off with a confused look on her face. "Wait, you didn't say anything about Kiki, where...is...she?"

Daltar and Mimi looked at each other, then Daltar locked his fingers into hers and he debated whether or not to let her explain. Mimi and Kiki were sisters, and very close ones. "She Uh-" Mimi was trying to explain, but her voice was trembling and even if she spoke nothing came out, just sounds. Unable to explain and Daltar already feeling angry again for making Mimi upset again. "Mimi, go get some air okay?" Daltar softly spoke as he looked at her.

She just lightly smiled and nodded not making any eye contact. When Mimi left, Daltar raised his voice "Nice going Rose! Do you know how long it took for Mimi to finally be okay again after an incident like that?! Why can't you just keep your mouth shut!" Then he turned his head and tried to calm down, 'Rose does, have a right to know what we're up against.' Daltar thought, "Please Daltar, I need to know." Rose's voice also slightly trembled, and she felt bad for Mimi and most of all, Rose already knew what had happened.

Daltar looked back at her and have a big sigh, "As we were traveling, we ran into a few people from the Southern Tribe. They were looking for survivors and Kiki went off on her own that day. When we went to go get her To keep going but when we found her she was on her knees while they held her arms back and as she looked up towards the person questioning her, she glanced over at us and smiled before she answered the guy's question knowing what would happen if she answered. I knew what she was doing, and what she wanted me to do. So I held onto Mimi and put my hand over her mouth to keep her quiet." He took another deep breath; this wasn't a part of his life he was proud of along with other things.

"The reason we had no idea she was in danger was because she hid their presence from us. Mimi's survival was always her top priority, if she wanted to hide us, it was because it was what was best, and Kiki was no fool. If they figured out we were there and we killed them, people would search for them assuming us, if we didn't kill them they would report back. Kiki didn't even look scared; she felt more at ease I think when I followed her plan to remain hidden. I guess she took too long to answer him because that bastard punched her and she would of fell if the two guys weren't holding her up by her elbows. He yelled at her again and asked her if there was any more of us. That fucking idiot said something like "No I haven't seen anyone, and even if there were more survivors, I would never tell YOU." And Kiki that moron just smiled and spit the blood building up in her mouth at his feet. Of course that pissed him off and he punched her again and then signaled the guys holding her to cut her throat. As soon as I knew what was going to happen I turned Mimi's head and I watched as Kiki looked at us and give a slight nod… then one of the men holding her grabbed her hair and forced her head back and the other got out his knife and..." Daltar was shaking in pure rage just thinking about it.

Rose just gasped and covered her mouth with her hands and she was also shaking with rage. Kouga was shocked, his mind went blank, 'This can't be real... It's just too crazy.' Daltar took another breath and continued "After that I ran with Mimi trying to keep her quiet. When we finally got far enough she screamed and cried and completely fell apart. She just cried until she fell asleep, and then I carried her off. For days she cried before falling asleep, and for days she refused to talk or eat." Daltar said finally calming down while getting up brushing himself off.

He turned and left, then quietly said "I'm off." And have a quick wave and left to find Mimi. Rose was quiet and still as he left, and a tear rolled down her cheek, "He's right, I should learn to keep my mouth shut." Kouga just held her head against him and stroked her hair unsure of what to say he remained quiet. She remained there until she felt better and wiped her tears. "I should go apologize to Mimi and make sure she's okay." Rose quietly said as she stood up, Kouga just nodded and watched her leave, and then soon he left too.

He went to see what Ginta and Hakkaku were up to, and he had to try and cool down as well from that intense talk… Kouga just couldn't gather his thoughts, everything was so overwhelming. All this time he was fed up and trying to find Naraku when things like this were happening right under his nose, as he walked to his friends to update them briefly he wondered what Rose planned to do because this changed things, would she ever be free from her fear of being found? Would any, of them be safe?
