Dog 108- here it is the last chapter of this story now as soon as this is posted the first chapter of the second story will be up! So enjoy.

Next day time skip to just as the sun sets.

- no one pov-

Koga was thankful that Kagome was preoccupied with helping her friends heal, she didn't even see that he was in and out of the palace all

day! He even found a spot that was perfect for the moonlight dinner date he had planed, Koga was thankful that he remembered to slip

her a note to tell her to skip dinner for he wished to eat with her. The spot he had found was a hilltop that was covered in moon flowers

that would be in bloom as they ate! Just as the sun began its set he had gotten everything to place at the hilltop. Koga went over his

mental list.

" blanket for sitting on, yup got that. The food, Kagome's favorites got them. First gift of courting , got it. Perfect place to ask, hell yes."

koga was done with everything so he raced back to the palace to get Kagome.

When Koga got there Kagome was waiting for him at the door dressed in brown furs that matched his. Koga could not help but smile at

her and she returned his smile with one of her own.

" are you ready for dinner my Kagome?" Koga asked. He was answered with a nod and they started the walk to the hilltop.

" how are Dominique and Kara?" Koga asked as they walked.

" they are healed .. Dominique still only has one wing but they said they know of a way to grow it back." Kagome said then she went on

to tell him of her day and koga listened to her loving to hear her sweet voice.

Soon they had come to the hilltop, they sat down and koga got the food out.

" Koga did you do all this for me?" Kagome asked.

" yes and I have something to ask you." Koga said

" what is it koga?" Kagome looked into koga's blue eyes the eyes she loved to look into for she could see his love for her swimming in his eyes.

" will you allow me to court you, then if you wish we will become mates?" Koga asked as brave as he could, he would admit he was afraid

she would say no.

Kagome launched herself at Koga. He gave off a small sound as his back met the ground.

" YES. YES. YES. A THOUSAND TIMES YES." Kagome was so happy she yelled out even though she knew he was right there.

Koga thought his heart may burst from pure joy and happiness. When they sat up he took out the gift he got for her and handed it to her.

Kagome slowly opened the gift, she knew it was the first courting gift. This gift would show that he would always protect her. When she

opened the gift her eyes widened. Normally the first gift was something like a wrist band made of fur from the male's beast form, or a leg

band. But what he gave her was something that was rarely given, a pendant is what he gave her. It glowed the same color blue as his

eyes and was in the shape of a heart. Kagome knew that the glow was from his demonic power, that is why it was so rare to be given,

only those who truly loved their chosen mate and believed them to be their soul mate would give something like this. At anytime that she

was in danger the pendant would form a barrier that would protect her from any harm but would also take away power from koga, leaving

him weak until he got to her side. Tears came to her eyes as Koga picked up the pendant and put it around her neck.. They sat there at

the hilltop kissing until the moon was high in the sky. They walked back hand in hand.

Kagome sat in bed that night holding the pendant, she wondered what other gifts Koga would give her in the next week. Courting

normally lasted about a week for wolf demons, the male giving his chosen mate gifts every now and again throughout the week. After the

courting week was up the female would pick if she wanted to mate the male or not. Depending on the status of the pair would rule what

would happen next. Because Koga was a prince and her a princess after Kagome said yes at the end of the week ( she already knew

should would say yes to him) they would set a date for a ball. All of the lords and ladies around the lands would attend the ball. The

mating couple would be the first to leave but not before a blessing by an elder. As the blessing takes hold a ribbon would appear on her

and Koga's wrists. Then they would leave to the mating cave. The mating cave was a sacred place for wolf demons it was said it was

where the first two demonic wolves mated and it was said to be the birth place to the very first wolf demon. If two wolves mated their

they would get the blessing from the very first wolf demon.

With a smile on her face Kagome fell asleep.

**** dog 108-ok little note here I will be skipping to the end of the week don't worry they gifts koga gave Kagome will be explained plus it leaves off for the second story !****

- time skip end of courting week-

Kagome had a smile on her face that seemed to not have gone away all week. Koga had agreed with Kagome that they would set they

date of the ball for two days after her family came back home. So they would wait a month and two days, Koga was counting down! As

Kagome sat in the garden she thought of the gifts Koga had given her, each after a date at the hilltop. The second gift was one to show

he would provide plenty of food to her and their future family. He had hunted and killed a large buck, gutted it, skinned it, and cooked it.

Then he presented it to her for their second date, she accepted it by allowing Koga to eat first, showing that even though she was an

alpha female she respected his leadership as the alpha male. The third gift was a dagger he had made for her using some of her hair and

his. It showed that even though he would protect her and their future family that he knew she was strong and could fight her own battles

( not that he would let her fight without him). The fourth gift was to show he would gift her with as much happiness as she could ever

have. Koga had given her, her own wolf pup. It was all black, with piercing yellow eyes and a female, her name was Raven. Raven would

grow up knowing Kagome as her alpha as would listen to only Kagome. Someday when their bond was strong Kagome and Raven would

be able to talk to each other with their minds. The final give Koga gave her was one to show his undying trust in Kagome. In his beast

form he rolled over showing his belly, the ultimate sing of trust in his mate. Kagome of course returned the trust by transforming into her

beast form and showing her belly as well.

Kagome got up off the ground, dusted herself off, and grabbed Raven. Then she walked to the gate, she was going to be seeing

Dominique and Kara off. They where going to be going to gather the things they needed to heal Dominique and give her back her missing

wing. It would take them about a month, so they would be back in time for the ball. As Kagome got to the gate she saw that sesshomaru

was there, Kagome smiled she saw what others did not; Sesshomaru liked Kara! He had visited many times in the week and would always

end up talking to Kara in the garden. Kagome was going to help them along but set that thought to the side for now. She was going to

try and set Dominique up with someone but found out that Dominique was courted already but one thing stood in the way. The dark

jewel! Kara had told her that Itachi and Dominique where going to be mates before the dark jewel got him. It pissed Kagome off to no

end that even after Naraku was killed he still got in the way!

All to soon Kagome got to the get and hugged her friends goodbye.

" Don't worry Kags we will be back before you know it!" Dominique said a little to happy

" yup and we will make sure to get you something awesome on our travels." Kara said

" it better not be something gross like the dead snake I found in my bed this morning." Kagome said

" we only did that as a goodbye prank." Dominique said laughing.

" oh ya sure, you must have hunted it all day." Kagome said smirking

" hey it only took me four hours to hunt it!" Dominique yelled

" four hours Dominique really?" Kara said with a ' are you stupid' look on her face

Kagome was laughing so hard she thought she would fall over, she even heard a chuckle from sesshomaru!

With that all said the girls started on their way waving at Kagome before they were out of sight. Kagome smile and waved back. She then

turned around and walked back to the palace she had ball plans to start!
