Inu Tarzan: Kikyo

Kikyo was lonely. As much as she loved spending time with Inu-Tarzan he wasn't mate material. Sure, he was strong and could provide her with food, shelter, protection and affection but he wasn't full inu. He couldn't provide her with strong, healthy pure bred pups that could withstand the jungle nor could he properly claim her like an inu male. He was a wonderful lover and companion but she didn't feel the instinctive call to mate with him. Plus, she wasn't attracted to his non-dog-like attributes. It was because of these reservations that she held back from accepting his claim. If he was the male for her, the gods would have inspired her into bonding with him upon their first rut.

Having grown up together Kikyo knew his every strength and weakness. She knew the mistakes he made in his youth and the battles against rival males as he worked his way up the pack. Being half-inu, many were upset that he was ranking over full-blooded inus. Many saw it as unfair that he was taking the spots away from someone who "biologically" deserved it. At the time she had felt the same, that is until he out shown everyone who tried to knock him down. Eventually he had worked his way up to his brother's first in command. There was a time some feared he would take his brother down but that was quickly put to rest when Inu-Tarzan humbly declined the challenge.

He didn't desire to be alpha. He simply wished to protect the pack and honor his father's bloodline. It was because of this confession peace was restored in the pack and her eyes had been opened. It was as if she was seeing him for the first time. Not, as a half-inu but as a respectful, honorable male leader. He had proven himself, made up for his mistakes and strengthened their pack unlike ever before. His kindness and determination caught her attraction unlike any other inu male had and they quickly became lovers. She was surprised upon their first rutting that she had not felt called to claim him as a mate. Having had such strong feelings before, she could have sworn he was the one for her.

She knew her rejecting his mark hurt him, but her instincts were simply too strong to ignore. He wasn't the one for her and therefore she would wait for her life mate to find her. That didn't mean they couldn't be together until that day came. Besides, there were three other inu packs to look through. Each spring the four packs would meet at the heart of the Congo and blend as one. By splitting them up into four clans, it was nature's way of keeping their bloodlines clean of incest and disease. It also insure the inu breed continued on healthy and strong. All the males in the silver pack were either mated or too weak for her taste. She knew her mate had to be from either in the blacks to the north west, the brown to the south west, or the grey pack to the eastern lands of the western territory.

Knowing mating time was only weeks away didn't help her weary heart. She knew choosing another male would break his heart. She needed to go to the mating gathering to find her mate. It was the only time the four packs united in peace. It was the only time she could flirt and rut with inu males outside of the silver pack. Last year her heat had run too late to participate. She had hoped going might stir something but her instincts were too weak to find him. Subsequently it was when she was in heat a week later that her attention had been directed to Inu-Tarzan. Looking back at it now, she wondered if it was her hormones interfering with her judgment. It wasn't that Inu-Tarzan was unattractive in her eyes it was more of the technicalities of their genes that held her back.

He was a half-breed, a mutant… an impurity. He didn't look, smell, eat, walk, rut, or even talk like they did. He could speak their tongue but it had an accent that made it hard to understand at times. Plus, his body lacked fur, didn't have a tail that she found appealing, lacked the demonic wildness of an inu male, and couldn't give her pups. Regardless of those flaws she did love him. He was her friend, her companion and provider. It made her sad that he would always be alone. His mother's kind had died long before she was born and they had never encountered another since then. Everyone believed he was the last of his kind but when he said the strangers were like Izoyoi she thought there might be hope.

Unfortunately for him they were all males but she couldn't help but feel a little relieved. She knew it was selfish to want to keep him to herself. He deserved to have a mate just like any other, but she didn't want to share him. He was a great lover, provider and protector. He was hers until she found her mate. They had each other and that would be enough. It did make her wonder though, what was he hiding? What information made him uncomfortable sharing with the pack? She had asked him later in their den but he ignored her by going to sleep. It irritated her that he didn't trust her with this information but the weren't mates. He didn't have to be open with her if he didn't want to. They were technically in an "open relationship" meaning their loyalties were to themselves.

If she was told a secret, she didn't have to keep it. She wouldn't be breaking his authority and trust by sharing. Therefore, it was his right to push her away if he wanted to. That didn't make her feel any less put out though. She'd have to keep her wits about her and hope that whatever it was won't come back to bite them. Having been kicked out of the pack twice before for foolish choices she had a right to worry about his little secret. Yes, he had worked up to his position but that didn't erase the fact that terrible accidents happened. No, they needed to take caution until he confessed whatever it was that was troubling him. No one dared go check out the strangers. It was too dangerous to go on foot both night and by day. They'd have to trust in his judgment and pray that his decision wouldn't end up killing them all.

Growing thirsty Kikyo made her way down to the stream close to their cave. Leaning down she began to lick up the cool water. It felt wonderful down her throat and decided a quick swim would be nice. However, just as she was about to go into the stream she heard movement in front of her. With the wind blowing upwind she was unable to identify what it was. Flicking her ears towards the rustling bushes she narrowed her stare and growled in warning. To her surprise it was a lone black inu with dark red eyes. He had long silky black fur with two purple markings running along his jawline. He stood nearly a foot taller than her and she knew if he chose to attack she'd lose. Being alone she was an easy target and wasn't surprised to see him sniffing in her direction with interest.

"What are you doing here? Outsiders are forbidden here." Kikyo growled in warning when he started to slowly inch his way towards her.

"No need for such aggression little one." The male inu chuckled as he slinked closer and closer. The way he moved was smooth and confident and she noticed the sun caught against his fur perfectly. It enhanced the shift of his muscles moving underneath and she was impressed at how beautiful he was. "I simply came to investigate the alluring scent coming from this direction."

"What scent?" Kikyo sniffed as she narrowed her eyes in suspicion. She noticed how long his legs were and couldn't help but look him up and down in approval. "All I smell is my pack. You best get lost before they come. Sessho doesn't take too kindly to trespassers."

"Worry not, for I have found what I've been looking for." He said as he began to slowly circle her. His red eyes were dark and alluring and she couldn't help but shiver when he looked at her in want. "Its you my dear that has caught… my undivided attention."

"Me?" Kikyo asked in confusion. She couldn't understand why a strong male like himself would be interested in her. She was an omega, the weakest link in the pack. By the markings on his face and the strength in his aura he had to be at least a beta if not an alpha. "You must be mistaken."

"On the contrary my dear… what's your name?" he asked as he continued to circle her.

"Kikyo." she said.

"Kikyo… how lovely." He purred as his circle grew tighter and tighter. "It is your scent that has lured me in for many miles. I've never smelled something so… delicious in all my life."

"What of it buddy? You and every other male who wants a free rut." Kikyo growled when he sniffed closer towards her ass then she thought was necessary. "What makes you think your sweet talking will get you anywhere?"

"Because I can tell my very presence is affecting you as well." He said as he rubbed his tail sensually down her side and flicked it just under her nose. Seeing her eyes dilate with lust he chuckled darkly. "Don't deny it little one… fate has called us together."

"You don't know that." Kikyo snipped as she shook her head to try and clear it of the husky musk filling her nose. "Mating season is almost upon us. Our hormones might just be messing with our heads."

"That does not explain why I felt called to you." He purred as he grew bolder and rubbed his body along her side. He wanted to insure she felt his muscles, his power, dominance and strength. That his scent would remain on her mind and that it would haunt her dreams. "I have searched for you many springs, Kikyo. At one point last year I thought I had found you but the gathering split up before I could. Now I have found you and I will claim what is mine."

"So confident of yourself aren't you?" Kikyo huffed as she tied to ignore his sultry advances. "What makes you think I feel the same call? I could ignore you and go to someone else?"

"Because little bitch," he growled huskily as he pounced on her from behind pinning her beneath him. Gripping her neck in a dominating bite he sensually rubbed his cock along her backside making her gasp in shock. "I will not be denied!"

(*** Mark Mancina - Jane meets Kerchak ***)

Surprised by his wild nature and masculine power Kikyo froze beneath him. Never in her life had she felt so dominated and small. It was thrilling, new and animalistic. The combination stirred every fiber of her being to bond and it frightened her. She felt the need to flee for her life while at the same time a burning need to rut, to mate, to procreate. It was confusing as hell and she began to panic. To her relief he caught onto her upset and pinned her down with his heavy body. The last thing he wanted was for her to acciently hurt herself while fighting against him.

All of his attention would have to be focused on pinning her down. Where would the fun be in that? Thankfully the weight of him lying overtop accompanied by his seductive purr along her back calmed her down. She felt sheltered, protected and his woodsy musk was comforting. She didn't know who he was, where he'd come from, or if he could be trusted. He could be a dangerous outcast for all she knew. She could tell he was holding something back but as he held her against him she felt like she was… home? She was so confused.

"Now you see… my precious jewel." He purred as he nibbled on her check sweetly. "Our paths at last have intertwined. I will allow you to refuse my touch slip this one time. All of this information is… quite sudden but come mating season I expect you to be ready. I will not be denied again. Is that understood?"

"What if your…" Kikyo doubted as he rolled his hips in a sensual motion.

"You still question me bitch?" he growled as he put more of his weight on her back and bit a little harder on her neck. Humping a little rougher against her, she panted with want and whimpered in confusion.

"N-no!" Kikyo whimpered as she tried to ignore the amazing sensations of him rubbing his massive girth against her dampening folds. "I'll be at the grounds! I-I promise!"

"Good." He huffed as he got off of her back and began to make his way towards the jungle.

"Wait!" Kikyo shouted making him turn to look at her over his shoulder. "I didn't catch your name!"

"That is because I did not say it my sweet. Remember it well, for my name is Naraku." He smirked before jumping into the underbrush.

"N-Na-Narak-ku-ku?" Kikyo stuttered with wide horrified eyes.

She needed to throw up. Her fate had to be wrong. There was no way she was destined to mate with that monster. He was a traitor, a thief, a liar, a… murder! How on earth did this happened? Surely there was a mistake? T had to be because she had been taken by surprise. Her hormones were messing with her head again. There was no way she was seduced by an outcast. He had to of used his attack and powerful body as a way to snap her instincts into gear.

"Yeah…" Kikyo said to herself as she slowly stood up on her shaky legs. "Th-that had to be it! I'll go to the mating grounds when the time comes. I'm sure my true mate will be there! Naraku was just confusing my responses for something else. And besides, he can't fight there. I'll be safe as long as I mate with someone else."

New plan decided she waded into the river to try and wash off his disgusting scent. To her relief most of it went away but she could still vaguely smell Naraku along the scruff of her neck and backside. Not wanting to upset Inu-Tarzan or anyone else in the pack who might recognize Naraku's scent she ran through some musky scented vegetation to cover it up. To her relief it did the job. She just hoped Inu-Tarzan wouldn't notice anything differently.

Knowing he would likely pick up on her nervous behavior she shook off her anxiety as best she could and returned to the cave as if nothing had occurred. She hoped everything would stay the same until her real mate claimed her. Whoever it was she hoped they were strong enough to kill Naraku should he try anything funny. She didn't want to think about what would happen is his promise to claim her came true. In the mean time Inu-Tarzan's body was the perfect way to relieve her current sexual need and a perfect way to get Narku's touch off her mind.

[End of Chapter 8]

Authors Note:

I know this isn't in the original story line but I had to add in Naraku or a Kerchak character in there somewhere! In the original Tarzan story Kerchak killed Tarzan's parents. When Tarzan was older he challenged Kerchak and became the Ape King. Not sure what I want to do with Naraku's character just yet but obviously he's a bad dude so the outcome will be predictable there. Let me know of your thoughts in the reviews! I'd love to hear them. Thanks again for reading and your continued support. It means a lot! Don't worry, there is more to come!

Until then,
