Disclaimer: Nope…I wish…

I'm back. I heard a song that reminded me so much of this story that I was struck with gilt and decided to write another chapter. So here it is.

And on with the story.

Koga spun around and yelled my name. I didn't pause or look back I just kept running. I heard Koga running after me. He would catch me soon if I didn't do something. I looked around for anything that would help me get away. That's when I spotted a river not to far ahead. I smiled and ran up to it. Jumping in a let the current take me further down the river when I believed I was far enough away I began running my hand on the bottom of the river looking for anything I could grab on to. When my hand hit a root I grabbed it and held on. There I held my breath as long as I could. When I ran out of breath I came up to surface and looked around. I didn't see Koga anywhere.

I quickly jumped out of the river and ran into the woods on the other side. I ran glancing behind me every once and awhile. When I came to a road I stopped and waited in some bushes. I thanked God that Koga hadn't tracked me down yet. I cursed at myself for my foolishness. I hadn't thought I had just run. I sighed.

My ears picked up the sound of horse hooves and a cart. Probably a merchant, I told myself. A merchant would come in handy if they had kimonos. I needed to get one so I didn't stand out. But I didn't want to steal it. What did I have that I could pay with? I grabbed my dagger and looked it over. It was demon made which is worth a lot to humans. It would be a rare thing to have. I thought it over. I was a good dagger but I really wanted to blend in. I decided to trade it.

When the merchant was close I spotted a couple of kimonos in the back. He had no female companion so he was most likely selling the kimonos. I picked up a small rock near me and threw it into some bushes next to the horse with much force causing a loud noise. The horse stopped in surprise and began backing up in fright. The young merchant jumped from his seat and went to calm down the horse.

I took the opportunity to run from my spot near the back of the cart and quickly grabbed one of the kimono's and set the dagger in its place. Then I ran into the bushes on the other side of the road. I crouched there holding the kimono.

The young merchant spun around in fright to see what had happened. Thinking he was being attacked he pulled a dagger from his side and walked in my direction. I was afraid he was going to look in the bush but instead he walked to the back of his cart and looked about it. When he found my dagger he looked it over. Then scanned his cart again. Noticing the kimono he chuckled and turned in my direction.

"This is worth to much for that kimono." He said as he tossed the dagger into the bushes I was in. It landed to my right and I quickly grabbed it. "You can just have it. If you were actually going to buy it you disserve it." He laughed again and mumbled to himself, "A demon trying to buy human goods. That's a new one." With that he returned to his chart and continued on his journey.

I smiled. Demons always say humans are stupid, careless, and greedy but that only applied to some and the merchant had just proved it. I smiled and moved further into forest. I quickly changed out of my wet armor and into the kimono. I looked over the kimono. It was beautiful. I was a light pink with red rose petals that looked as thought they were blowing in the wind. They started on my left shoulder and wrapped around my body once. The sleeves grew larger in width starting at the elbows. The sleeves were too long and covered up my fingers and hid my claws. Rose petals were randomly scattered near the hem of them.

Then I hid my armor in some bushes and made sure to memorize the area incase I had to return. Then I hid my sword and dagger in the kimono. Once that was done I took down my hair and made it so it covered my pointed ears. Lastly I picked up the necklace that had caused this. I looked at it and sighed. Then suddenly it started to glow and grew hot in my fingers and I dropped it. It fell around my neck again and I heard his voice…

"Misora, come back now." Koga said angrily from the necklace. "I know exacting where you are but I would prefer you to come back before I have to come get you."

I didn't know how Koga was doing it but he was talking through the necklace. I ignored him and began walking farther away from the direction that the den was in.

"Fine if your not gonna listen then I'm coming to get you, and when I get there you better pray I've calmed down." Koga said in an irritated tone. Then the necklace stopped glowing and cooled down. I picked up the claw once more and stared at it in disbelief. Koga could talk to me through the necklace?

Desperately I attempted to pull the necklace off. In my attempt I began stumbling and eventually tripping and rolled down a small hill. When I stopped I heard someone chuckle. I sat up and noticed I was on the road again only further down it. Before I could move my vision up any higher a boot came into view.

"So you were the demon who wanted a human made kimono?" The owner of the boot asked with laughter in his voice. "Not really the most graceful demon, I see." I instantly recognized the voice. It was the young merchants from earlier. I quickly jumped backwards from him and stood up. He looked at me with a bit of surprise on his face.

"Not the fastest human are you?" I asked.

"Well you spooked my horse pretty bad." The merchant replied motioning in the direction of the horse.

I bowed my head. "I apologize for that." I said and raised my head again. "I didn't want to approach and frighten you."

The merchant chuckled again. "You wouldn't have scared me. I deal with demons a lot." He said. He then leaned against his cart. "So what kind of demon are you? Wolf?" He asked crossing his arms.

I nodded and answered, "Yes."

"Hm female, rare. What pack?" The merchant asked.

"I can't tell you that." I said apologetically. "I'm sorry."

"No, no. It's fine." He answered putting his hands out in front of him and waving them slightly. "You don't have to tell me." I smiled at his reaction. He smiled back slightly and lowered his hands.

He was actually quite a handsome man no older then sixteen. He had his mid-back, black hair pulled into a lose ponytail. He had a large amount of hair that was shorter than the rest cupping the left side of his face. He had gray-blue eyes and such a wonderful smile. He was tall, maybe a couple of inches taller then I was.

"So what's your name?" The merchant asked. "Mine's Yuki."

I shook my head. "I can't tell you that one either." I told him.

Yuki sighed and shook his head. "Why are you so secretive. It's like you're hiding someth…" He stopped mid sentence, his eyes on my necklace. I wrapped my hand around it.

"What?" I asked.

"That necklace." Yuki said. "I've seen something like it before." He approached me. Stopping in front of me, he gently removed my hand for the necklace and examined it. "Kubikazari ryouyuu (A/N: Necklace of Possession…or that's what I hope it says)." Yuki said. He let go of the necklace. "So you belong to someone?" He asked.

"No, I don't." I replied quickly.

"But that necklace says otherwise." Yuki said.

"It was placed there without my knowing." I said. When I saw the confused look on Yuki's face I explained. "Well I knew someone put it there I just didn't know what it was."

"And who, might I ask, put it there?" Yuki asked as he picked up the necklace again but he quickly let go of it and pulled his hand away. He looked at his hand and winced.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" I asked as I grabbed his hand and examined it. It was red where he had touched the claw. "It burnt you. I'm so sorry." I apologized as I placed my hand on top of his. I saw a light blush spread across his cheeks and he slowly pulled his hand away.

"It's fine." Yuki said. "It's not bad. I should of known better then to grab it." Then his eyes spotted something behind me and widened.

"Turn around." Koga said.

My heart stopped.
