Keket: I'm sorry! I meant to update this like a week ago, but my computer like broke… :'( I'm really, really sorry! And I want to thank all who reviewed. This has been the most reviews I've ever gotten in the first chapter of a story. ^_^ Oh, since two reviewers told me I could add a character I did. No worries though! She won't interfere with anything! *evil grin* Well I'll shut up now and get on with the story!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After a few hours, and much yelling on Kagome's part, Kouga set Kagome down before the waterfall of the wolf den. Kagome glared at Kouga slightly as he laughed at the look on her face. He, in fact, had been laughing through most of the journey there.
"Don't you ever do that again, Kouga!" Kagome said angrily.
Kouga laughed some. "I won't Kagome, I promise."
Kagome sighed, "Thank you…"
Kouga put his arm around Kagome's shoulders and steered her inside. Kagome blinked a few times, but found herself almost enjoying his embrace. That feeling slowly left her as she and Kouga passed under the cold waterfall. Kagome gasped, and Kouga looked at her concerned. She gave him a reassuring nod.
As many times that she would ever see the wolf den, Kagome would never get over the enormous size of the cave and the pack. There were so many of them, but they all seem to get along. Mostly anyway. Of the times Kagome been there, she hadn't seem any of them fight except for pranks.
As they entered deeper into the cave, Kagome noticed an unfamiliar female wolf demon begin to walk over to them. She had long, black hair that flowed to her waist and ice blue eyes. She almost looked like Kouga, but more feminine. Her clothes were like Kouga's as well, but still held the feminine look. As she got closer, Kouga frowned.
"Hey Kouga. What'cha got there?" she asked. Her voice was soft and light.
"My new mate," Kouga replied.
"Whoa! I haven't agreed to be your mate yet!" Kagome said before the conversation went too far.
"Ah, I see," the woman demon nodded and extended her hand, "My name is Aneko. I'm Kouga's older sister."
Kouga muttered something as Kagome shook Aneko's hand. "I'm Kagome. Kouga never told me he had an older sister."
Aneko laughed. "I've been away for a few years."
"Oh."
Aneko turned to Kouga. "So… You've chosen a human as your mate? Ayame won't be too happy with you."
Kouga shrugged. "Who cares what Ayame thinks? But…" Kouga gave Aneko a look Kagome couldn't decipher.
"Ooh…" Aneko nodded and grinned. "I see…"
"You know, Aneko," Kouga smirked, "You still hafta find a mate."
Aneko flinched. "I wish you hadn't have brought that up."
Kagome looked back and forth between them. They sure did look alike, and they sure did fight like brother and sister. Kagome didn't know what to think of Aneko. She had never seen her before around the den.
"Well, where is she sleeping, Kouga? I don't trust her with you," Aneko spoke, bringing Kagome out of her thoughts.
Kouga fawned a hurt look. "Why do you say that?"
"Because I don't," Aneko turned back to Kagome. "If you want, Kagome, I can set up a spare bed in my room."
"Uhh… Okay," Kagome replied.
"Okay then, let's go!" Aneko took Kagome by the arm and led her away.
Aneko's "room" turned out to be just a small hole in the side of the cave. Though it was small, it could still fit at least four people comfortably. Aneko set up some animal furs by one side of the wall.
She stood up and turned her attention towards Kagome. "There 'ya go, Kagome. Anything else I can get you?"
Kagome shook her head. "No thanks. I'm fine."
Aneko shrugged. "'Kay. I'll leave you alone now."
That said, Aneko walked through the animal fur over the "room's" door. Kagome sighed, and laid down on the bed Aneko had made for her. She was surprised how comfortable it was. 'I could get used to this,' Kagome thought as she faded into sleep.
