-oOoOo-

Light from the moon shone upon the small group in the middle of the forest as they sat in silence. None of them could think of a single thing to say and the tension amongst them was thick enough to cut. The only sound that fell upon their ears were the small cries of the dead miko's soul collectors as they wound their way through the trees occasionally dropping the soul of a young maiden into the heart of Kikyo.

Hours had passed since Inuyasha declared Ayame part of their group and nobody knew how to react. Even Ayame, who was hoping he would let her stay, was thrown off by his behavior. Sure, she didn't know him as well as the others of his pack, but she knew what happened today was completely out of character. Before they arrived at the wolf den, Inuyasha had been protective of Kikyo, never letting anybody speak a single word of disrespect. She never expected him to pull dominance over her. Kikyo was a dominate character by nature and she didn't easily submit to the rulings of others. Inuyasha had startled her with his behavior, therefore she didn't have the ability to object.

Inuyasha sat against a tree with his sword resting against his shoulder. He gripped the scabbard tightly as he watched several expressions cross Ayame's face. What was it about her that set him off? Never before had he acted that way with Kikyo, and he didn't understand the reasoning behind it. He should be upset with the wolf for messing everything up, but he couldn't bring himself to take his confusion out on her. She didn't do anything wrong. Hell, he actually felt sorry for the girl. She was in the same situation he was in, only slightly worse. She didn't have anybody to fall back on like he did. He still had Kikyo by his side while she was left alone.

He bit the inside of his cheek. Nobody deserves to be alone. He thought to himself as he remembered his childhood and how many years he spent in complete solitude until the day he met Kikyo. She was the first person besides his mother who didn't shun him for what he was. That was the big reason he was still attracted to her despite the fact that her body and personality held little to no warmth. Not only that, he felt responsible for her death. If only he had more trust in her, maybe just maybe she wouldn't have died that fateful day.

Kagome…Her name seeped into his thoughts causing his ears to flatten against his head. Just like Kikyo, Kagome never cared that he was only a filthy hanyou. Hell, he doubted she would care if he was full youkai. He couldn't help but glance at Kikyo. Would she have still cared for me if I was youkai? His fang clipped the inside of his mouth drawing blood. No, she would have killed during our first encounter. The only reason she didn't kill me back then was because I am part human and she couldn't bring herself to take a human life. He mentally cursed himself. If only he had realized certain things sooner. Kagome's face appeared in his mind drawing a small whimper from the hanyou. Man, I really messed up this time.

Ayame watched Inuyasha as he sorted through his emotions. His aura, fluctuating rapidly as a new thought passed through his mind. She wondered what the cause of his agony was. She watched as his amber eyes flickered over to the dead priestess and she slowly began putting things together. Inuyasha was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He loved Kagome, that much she was positive of, but to love the walking dead? She shuddered at the thought of what that could entail. What was the connection between the two miko's? Both had extraordinary powers and they both possessed the ability to see the Shikon no Tama. She wanted to ask Inuyasha, but she refrained from asking with Kikyo sitting in their presence.

Her own thoughts slipped off the deep end as she began thinking about Koga and Kagome. How had things come to this? What had she done to deserve such a fate? Koga and her were supposed to be together, not him with Kagome. She drew her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. How will she explain this to the elders? She let out a sigh of defeat. Maybe this was how things were meant to be, after all, Koga denied up and down that he said he would mate her. She doubted he forgot about the promise he made to her all those years ago, so why was he set on denying the truth?

The beginnings of tears began to form in the corners of her eyes as she buried her face into her knees. Koga…

-oOoOo-

Kagome let out a deep sigh of relief as the hot water of the hot springs enveloped her sore body. Reclining against the warm rocks, she looked across the springs at Sango. She couldn't help but feel a new found respect for the slayer after their long day of physical training. She always knew Sango was strong physically, but she never quiet understood just how strong you needed to be to wield a sword properly. Despite their several breaks, Kagome still felt like she had been drug through the mud. Every muscle in her body ached with over use and her mind was just as exhausted.

Deciding to take her mind off pain in her muscles, she took it upon her self to strike up a conversation. It had been weeks after all since she had time alone with her adopted sister.

"How have you been?"

Sango's eyes wandered over to Kagome. "Good I suppose. I mean it's been difficult traveling around with Kikyo. She's so cold. I still don't understand what Inuyasha sees in her." The slayer flinched inwardly, afraid for Kagome's emotional state at the mention of Kikyo.

"I think Inuyasha stills feels guilty about what happened between them fifty years ago." Kagome caught the apprehensive look in her sisters eyes and shook her head. She was no longer the mentally fragile child she had been when she separated herself from Inuyasha. She had somebody who loved her for her, not what she was the reincarnation of. "It's ok Sango. I don't mind talking about it."

The slayer relaxed visibly. "I guess that's to be expected. You've grown so much, Kagome."

The young miko's gaze left her sister and found comfort in the bright stars covering the sky. "I've had to grow up, Sango. I couldn't afford to be the little damsel anymore, now that I can't go home."

Sango's eyes widened at Kagome's words. "You can't go home?"

It wasn't until then that she realized that nobody else knew about the well being destroyed. "Yeah, when I learned that Koga could go through the well using the power of the jewel shards, I couldn't risk Naraku being able to go through. He would use my family against me…I couldn't let that happen."

Sango moved across the springs to sit beside Kagome. She placed a comforting hand on her sisters shoulder before speaking. "I'm so sorry, Kagome, we didn't know."

The miko raised her head and met Sango's chocolate eyes. "It's ok…I mean, I'm still saddened by it, but Koga and the pack are here for me. I'm not alone."

"I'm so happy for you, Kagome." Sango gave her a brief hug before stepping out of the water. She had finished bathing a while ago, but she didn't want to hurt Kagome's feelings since she had always cherished "girl time" as she called it.

The moment the slayer was out of ear shot of the hot springs, Kagome's unsuspected spectator made his way towards the water. He had waited patiently for the slayer to finish with her bath to make his appearance known.

It was harder than in looked to stay completely hidden without making a noise considering the way the heat of the water flushed her perfect ivory skin. Even though he had taken her body more than once, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed with the urge to ravage her body every time her clothes came off. It was a miracle he managed to hold himself in check this long.

The young miko picked up on a familiar youki approaching. Her first thoughts were of fear and anger, but when the aura of the youkai reached out and brushed against her skin she felt herself shudder in response. Her own aura flared in response, drawing a grasp from her onlooker.

Koga practically purred the moment her power brushed across his body, leaving trails of heat across his sensitive skin. He shivered in delight as he removed his fur wrapping and tossed his armor to the ground. He stepped out from behind a tree, his heated eyes devouring the sight of his mate standing in the water ready and waiting for him.

Kagome couldn't help but gasp at the sight of Koga stepping out from behind the tree without his clothes on. Her hands covered her heart in an attempt to keep her heart from beating out of her chest. She stayed frozen in place as he made his way into the water, taking his time.

Heat pooled immediately between her legs forcing her body to make a step forward. She never would have imagined her body could ever react to anybody the way it reacted to Koga. Since she had her first taste of him, she couldn't help but want more. She was still nervous about the act itself. She was fearful that she was doing something wrong since all she ever seemed to do was lay on her back or even on all fours while Koga did all the work. She was aware there was more to sex then just the act itself, and she had been wanting to try a few things with Koga. She nibbled on her bottom lip. The things she wanted to do wasn't usually done in this time period and she was fearful of his reaction.

Koga now stood within a few feet of Kagome, and she decided to gather her courage. Since he kept coming back for more she was obviously doing something right. She swallowed a lump in her through and looked at his already erect manhood.

Hesitantly she brushed the tip of it with her fingers. Koga's breathing hitched in his throat the moment she touched him. Just the feather touch of her fingers were almost enough for him to lose control and ravage her body. No, he wanted more than that tonight. He wanted to show her the real pleasures of lying with him. He could make her scream his name without ever entering her body.

Kagome, without saying a word to Koga, dropped to her knees into the water so she knelt before him. His manhood stood at attention in front of her face and she swallowed her nerves. Instead of brushing him with her fingers, she wrapped her entire hand around him. Koga's attention was drawn to the wonderful feel of his miko touching his body.

"Kagome…what…" he rasped, unable to form a complete sentence the moment her hand began to rub up and down.

Her voice was soft and quiet. If it wasn't for his sensitive ears, he would have missed everything. "Let me try something." He raised an eyebrow, curious as to what she had in mind. He didn't have to wait long before the feel of something warm and moist wrapped around the tip of him.

"Kagome." He moaned her name the moment she took more of him in her mouth. He had no idea what she was doing ,but he was not about to stop her from her administrations. Never would he have thought her little mouth could bring his so much pleasure. Being a youkai, doing something like this was unheard of since the females had fangs. Sharp teeth were never trusted around such a sensitive and important body part. With his miko's dull teeth he had no fear. She wouldn't hurt him, she was incapable of such.

He called her name again the moment he felt himself reach the back of her throat. His clawed hands grabbed handfuls of her hair as he tossed his head back in euphoria. He wanted to slam himself into her mouth to speed up the pace, but he didn't want to hurt his fragile mate. No, he would restrain from doing such.

Kagome moved faster when she felt his hands in her hair. She didn't know how much he was enjoying this, but she didn't want to stop, she wanted to bring him release. Her rhythm changed when she felt him grow slighter larger and more firm. She could tell he was almost at his limit. Ignoring the protests of her jaw and gag reflex, she moved faster, drawing a moan Koga.

Koga let loose a low growl the moment he felt himself lose control. He stopped his mates movements and withdrew himself from her mouth. His eyes flashed crimson as he gazed down on her confused face. She thought she had done something wrong. He smirked. How wrong she was. He lifted her from her knees and carried her to the edge of the water and placed her upon one of the rocks.

"Koga, did I do something wrong?" Kagome stuttered, unsure of his actions. Sure, she noticed his eyes flashing from blue to red, but that didn't stop the fear that rose in the back of her mind.

"My turn." Was all he said before his face was buried in between her legs. Her moan of pleasure graced his ears, encouraging him to continue.

The moment Koga's mouth made contact with her overly sensitive folds he couldn't stop the sounds of pleasure that escaped her. She had known pleasure before, but never like this. Her hands grasped at the rocks, looking for something to grab hold of. Her hips bucked against his as his tongue entered her body. "Koga!" She screamed as he removed his tongue only to have a finger replace it.

The ookami's pride swelled the moment she cried out his name. He pulled his face away from her and glanced up at her half lidded eyes. He flicked his fingers over her sensitive spots earning him a moan. As he continued to bring her pleasure, he moved his face closer to her ear. "Do you want more?" He whispered, earning him a shudder.

Kagome could only nod her head since her voice escaped her. He removed his finger as he positioned himself between her legs. Her hips rose from the boulder, begging him to take her. He smirked as he positioned himself at her opening. "Please!" She begged. Since he wasn't one to keep his mate waiting, he slid himself inside.
