A shrill yelp was heard as the claws were torn away from her body.
Serenity looked and saw Kouga standing over one of the males, teeth and fists clenched.
"Just what the fuck do you think you're doing?!" Kouga shouted, obviously restraining from striking the male.
"But Kouga, how the hell were we supposed to know that she wasn't food? She's covered in blood-"
"ENOUGH!" Kouga bellowed, silencing the pack. Serenity slowly slid to the floor, whimpering. Kouga went to her side. "Nobody will go near her! Anyone who touches her will be eliminated; do you understand?"
They all nodded and shot Serenity dirty looks. They plodded out of the cave, grumbling under their breath. Serenity heard 'bitch' and 'stupid human'.
She turned her gaze to Kouga, and tried to smile. Serenity wasn't really able to get a good look at him until now, and saw that he was rather attractive. His ice-blue eyes were what won her over. Kouga smiled warmly at her.
"Are you okay? They didn't do anything did they?" he asked, trying to pull her to her feet.
"No, they just scared me," Serenity said wanly, wincing in pain as she stood. Kouga picked her up and carried her back to the straw nest. After setting her back down he sat beside her.
"Your wounds are severe," Kouga said, softly touching her stomach. Serenity's muscles tensed up. "I need to get you cleaned up." He reached to the side and grabbed a piece of cloth soaked in water.
While he wiped the blood off of her, Serenity asked, "Kouga, who are you, exactly?"
Kouga sighed loudly. "I'm the leader of the Wolf Demon Tribe. You're in my den-"
"Wait wait wait!" Serenity interrupted, putting up her hands. "What do you mean by WOLF DEMON?"
Kouga cocked and eyebrow. "What else could I mean by it?" He laughed and continued to clean her. He jumped back suddenly.
Serenity was surprised. "What's the matter?" she asked, looking at the confused expression on Kouga's face. He pointed at her stomach.
When she looked, she giggled. "Oh what-you've never seen a naval piercing before?"
"What's a piercing?" he asked, and the tone of his voice made it clear he didn't understand. Serenity began to dread the worst.
"Where is this cave located? Are we in the park or something?" she asked, looking right into Kouga's eyes.
His head cocked to one side. "This isn't a 'park'. This is Feudal Japan-"
Serenity laughed. "You're shitting me."
"No. Now lay still so I can finish," he said in a stern voice. Serenity didn't get it.
"How did I go from Huntington Beach in the year 2004 to Japan?" she asked, now getting worried.
Kouga looked at her sadly. "I didn't think you'd understand. You see, there's this thing called The Bone Collector's Well. I stumbled into it quite a while ago, and found myself in your world. There is an enemy of the Demon Wolf Tribe; The Birds of Paradise. They have found a way to change their appearances to look more human. Not only that, they found a way to your world; through the Well. I was in pursuit of one when I fell in."
Serenity blinked. 'Could this be true?' she thought wildly.
Kouga paused, sensing her tensing up. "What's wrong?"
"I'm just trying to let it sink in," Serenity replied, thoughts whirring through her head.
Kouga smiled gently before continuing. "I saw the Birds in your world, and decided to stay there for awhile. Then I saw you-"He stopped abruptly. Serenity slowly put her hand on his. She felt him flinch. He shook his head and said, "Anyway, earlier today I came back and brought reinforcements. We found three of the Birds attacking you, and eliminated them." Kouga stopped again, and looked at Serenity.
"I want to look around and make sure you're not making any of this up," she said. She wasn't being rude, just curious.
Kouga nodded. "Yes, well, when you get better you can feel free to look around outside if you wish." He continued to clean her up, and she did nothing but stare at him.
'There's something about this guy," Serenity thought. 'I owe him everything for getting those perverted bastards away from me, and he's gorgeous to boot.'
Kouga hurriedly dressed her wounds and stood up. He looked down at her, his expression concerned. "You should rest," he said, turning to leave.
"Wait!" Serenity cried, and Kouga looked back at her.
"Yes?"
"You said that Well-thingy goes back to my world, right?"
"Yeah, that's the only way you got here in the first place," Kouga replied, now fully facing Serenity. She sat up on her knees.
"Can we go back and get some of my stuff? I want to stay here with you." Her words shocked Kouga. He came closer.
"What did you say?"
Serenity swallowed and said, "I don't want to go back; I don't like it there!" Now her voice was desperate, and she grabbed Kouga's arms. He was startled.
"Well, you don't have to go back! Would you mind telling me why you don't want to return to your world?" Kouga asked, curious.
Serenity fought tears, picturing Jason in her head. "Lets just say that nobody would miss me if I left." Kouga smiled grimly, and helped her to her feet.
"We could go now if you felt up to it," he asked Serenity, and she nodded quickly.
"Let's go."
Serenity looked and saw Kouga standing over one of the males, teeth and fists clenched.
