hanyou kitsune - half breed fox

Broken Pack

Chapter Three

Comfort

Ayame woke up feeling alone. She balled up crying softly. She felt so alone. It was cold, dark, quiet. She wanted to scream but knew some of the surviving wolves that were recovering were sleeping. As she balled up tighter she let out a loud yelp from a pain in her leg. She hushed herself as she saw at least five wolves jump at her loud voice. Someone stood and walked toward her. She let out a high pitched whine in quick submition as they neared.

Kouga tightly wrapped his arms around Ayame. He saw how scared she looked. He didn't want her to be scared and weak like before. She needed to be strong, and cheerful, as she had been. But he knew the experience with the hanyou kitsune shot her self of steam down the gutter. She was almost raped, yet he had barely gotten their in time.

Ayame lifted her head as she recognized Kouga's strong husky scent. It was relaxing; it calmed her. She slowly began to become drousy. She felt her racing heart that pounded in her chest slowly decrease. Kouga sensed her exhaustion and gently pulled her back down against the hay while still holding her. He was about to stand when a small whine escaped her throat.

"Please...don't leave...I'm afraid. I don't want to be afraid...when you're near I'm not afraid. Please, please don't leave. At least, not yet."

Kouga sighed as he laid back down. He was sick of the scent of blood in the area, he wanted to gag and throwup at the toxic taste the scents left in his mouth afterwards. He began to wonder about his newest duty again. Mating. But, it would be hard mating with someone he didn't love. He told himself that after time went on he would eventually love Ayame.

"Kouga?"

He opened his eyes as sleep eluded his grasp.

"Yes?"

Ayame began to fumble with a stray strand of her hair as she snuggled against him.

"When do we have to mate?"

Kouga sighed as she had practically read his mind.

"After you're healed, when we have a new home, and when your ready."

Ayame turned around lying her head against his chest. Kouga smiled as a few of the wolves surrounded them giving them more warmth. The one thing he loved about being a wolf demon, you were never cold at night.

Kouga started to drowse off again but snapped his eyes open as he felt something against his cheek. He looked to the side with his eyes seeing Ayame's bright red hair.

So what am I, a pillow now?

He held back a laugh as she made herself comfortable. In the end, he was unable to move unless stirring her. He enjoyed all the affections a female wolf demon would give. It was more than Kagome had ever done. She always had that look that she wanted him to leave more than anything. That's why he'd never leave her once he found her. He had tried to show her loved her, but was it real? All he wanted was the jewel shards. Or was it?
