Yuki's POV
When I came to again, I was surrounded by the female wolf demons of the pack. I short scream escaped me as I sat up and backed against the wall. They all laughed good-naturedly and one of them pushed forward. "Don't worry about those girls. I'm Nessa. Did Koga really chose you for his mate?" I blinked. "Um...maybe?" Nessa laughed and patted me on the shoulder. "Don't worry about it." I watched as she shooed away the other females.
"You scared my mate last night." I stared at her like she was crazy. "Ginta." I gasped. "Oh! Gomen na-" She waved her hand. "Don't worry. Anyway, Koga sent me here to check out your abilities." I was confused again. "Your powers. Magicks. Such like." I nodded and leaned forward slightly. Nessa placed her hands over mine. There was a short jolt, then I was blinking in surprise. Nessa looked amused. "Interesting. You're a dream weaver, and a time mage." I smiled weakly.
Rin's POV
I began my mage training with Ute and I came across a particular spell. It would change a human... into a youkai. "Lady Ute, could I perform a spell such as this one?"
"I wouldn't recommend it, dear," Ute began, "I haven't known a mage who has lived through it." The subject was dropped, but I was already devising a plan in my head. If I wanted to be with Sesshy, I would have to become like him. He wouldn't even consider me otherwise.
And so, I took the spell and a small bag, and heading out to find the materials I would need to perform my magic.
Yuki's POV
I was dismissed by Nessa several hours later after she explained to me my abilities. I could create, stop, alter, and enter dreams. Along with that, I could go back in, go forward in, stop, change, and slow down time. Nessa admitted she'd never seen such a combination.
Now, I was sitting outside with the older pups, meaning around the human equivalent of ten or eleven, teaching them herb lore. I lifted a pretty white flower, a daisy. One hand went up. "Maru?" Nessa's son, one of twins, smirked at his brother who returned it with a small smile. "Daisy, used for coughing and...uh... battle wounds." I smiled. "Yes." I set the flower down and got to my feet.
"That's enough for today. Go pack to your parents." The pups all ran off, yelling happily and starting a game. I giggled and turned to go back into the den. I collided with something solid and started to fall. Strong arms wrapped around me and held me steady. "You okay?" I looked up at Koga, a shy smile gracing my features. "Fine, thank you." The wolf prince smiled back and stood me upright. I smoothed out the fur skirt and the soft top.
A comfortable silence settled. Koga slid his arms around my waist. I leaned against him slightly, my head tucked under his chin. Suddenly he sighed and started playing with my earring. I stiffened and waited for him to speak. "Are you ever going to stop wearing it." I shifted uncomfortably. "Maybe..." Another sigh. "I...I like you for what you are... not some magic illusion." He turned me to face him, resting his hands on the sides of my face and stroking my cheeks with his thumbs. "Onegai."
I bit my lip and lowered my gaze. A noise that sounded suspiciously like a whimper came from him. I looked back at him and smiled coyly. "On the night we first... consummate the mating, I will take it off... and leave it off." He slowly grinned and pulled me into a tight hug. I laughed and slipped my arms over his to hug him back. "So you accept?" He surprised me by lifting me off my feet. I smiled softly and tangled my hands in his hair. "Of course." I leaned in to kiss him, my lips brushing over his. He held me closer, deepening the kiss. I didn't mind. I returned the favor.
Rin's POV
I had traveled east for several days and had luckily not run into any demons. I had found all of the herbal ingredients and all that I needed was a lock of hair from a wolf demon and the animal I would bind myself to. I reached the opening boundary of the wolf demon territory. I snuck up on them, unnoticed, and found the leader, Koga, kissing Yuki. "Yuki," I inquired as I stepped out of the bushes, "What's going on here?"
Sesshomaru's POV
Rin had left... why? "My Lord, "Ute said, bowing deeply, "I believe she may be on a quest to turn herself into a youkai." I blinked. "Thank you, Ute," I said coolly, "You may leave now." Ute left and I returned to my thoughts.
So that is why she had gone... to change for me... I had known that she loved me, but this much? To risk losing her life for me?
"Jaken, I am leaving," I informed him. I would save Rin from the love she had for me if it was the last thing I did.
Yuki's POV
My eyes opened wide. I glanced to the side. 'Rin!' I shrieked and pushed away from Koga. He 'oof'ed when he hit the ground. I barely managed to squirm away and land on my feet. "Rin... Hi! Eh-heh... What are you doing here?" I glanced at Koga and gave him an apologetic look.
Koga's POV
I grumbled and got to my feet. Then I turned to Rin and frowned. "What are you doing here, human wench?" I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at Rin. She had interrupted me and my mate-to-be.
Rin's POV
"I'm sorry to interrupt but I need a lock of your hair, Koga... Please, let me have one!" I pleaded.
Koga's POV
I frowned even more. "What do you need it for?" Yuki looked confused. "Yeah..." she added, "It's just hair. Besides, he hasn't washed it in a few days." I glared at her, blushing. "I washed it yesterday, Koi, thank you very much." She just smiled at me.
Rin's POV
"Well, there's this spell I've been working on and I need the hair in order to cast it. Please, let me have a lock," I pleaded, "If you don't give it to me, I don't know what I'll do." A few tears ran down my cheeks.
Yuki's POV
I elbowed Koga. "Give her the hair. It'll grow back." I unclipped my earring, going into my hanyou form. Koga gave me a wary look. I rolled my eyes and lashed out. Koga yelped and staggered backwards. I grinned and held out a clump of hair to Rin. "Here. From my reluctant mate."
Rin's POV
"Oh, thank you so much, Yuki!" I exclaimed, "Goodbye! I have to get on my way!" Yuki nodded. "Goodbye. Rin! Come back and visit after you cast the spell," called Yuki.
By sunset, I had reached the lair of Ryoko, a half-dragon bent on solitude. I gathered up my courage and entered the cave. "I seek your help, Ryoko," I began, "To perform a binding spell."
Ryoko's POV
A young girl of about sixteen walked into my lair. WALKED! More like arrogantly strolled! Honestly. And she wanted me to help her! She doesn't realize how hard biding is! "Who do you think you are! Binding isn't for just anyone!"
