Thank you to Siren of Erised, Sesshomaru, Koneko, Miah The Storm Wolf, and ummmm...... (lol) for your compliments and reviews.
Koneko: Inu Yasha and Kagome's child plays an important roll in my next story. Any one have suggestions for names? I already know it's going to be a boy.
ummmm......: Okay, Kouga followed your advice in this chapter. Let's see what happens...
Yakusoku
Chapter Four
Ayame lied still against the corner. She wanted nothing more than to wake up from this cursed nightmare. She wanted to get away from the cold walls of the cave and go back home where she could lie in the fields and sleep all day. Back where she could dream-dream of Kouga, the Kouga she knew the one who had saved her when she was but a young pup. Here, it was cold, and the fact that she was sleeping in a cave didn't help.
She felt the strong courage and determination being sapped from her soul and being replaced with fear. That couldn't have been Kouga earlier that night. He wouldn't have done that to her. Even... even if he did hate her, he wouldn't threaten her like that. They were in the same tribe, it was forbidden to kill other members of the pack unless a good reason was given.
"Ayame."
She let out a loud whine hiding her face at her name being called. She yelped as someone pushed her down. She turned her head keeping her eyes shut tight as they pinned her arms down.
"Well now, it seems you are good for something. After all, you did want to be my wife."
Ayame recognized the voice now. She slowly opened her eyes and looked where Kouga's hand had pinned her arm down by the side of her face.
"Wh-what is that?" she asked trying not to anger him. She felt the strain released off of her arm as he pulled his hand away. She slowly released a shaky breathe she didn't know she was holding. She gasped sharply feeling his hand rest down on her thigh. She tried to push herself back but his strain on her other arm increased.
"Now, now, I can't have you trying to get away, can I?"
Ayame swallowed and tried to stop squirming. She slowly turned her head back forward. Kouga had a cocky grin on his face as he slid his hand up a bit more. Ayame felt her hand twitch but kept it down.
"That's my good bitch," he whispered. Ayame felt a shudder come but held it back.
So, first he doesn't remember me, then he hates me, and now he just wants to keep me around for pleasure? Wh-what am I getting myself into?
Ayame felt a whimper escape her throat as his hand slid further up. She gasped as it started to move under her skirt. She let out a scream of fear and raised her free hand striking it across his face. Kouga stumbled back as his hand slapped to his cheek that was reddening quickly. Ayame stumbled back onto the hay bed.
Kouga pulled his hand from his scorching cheek. He was surprised there'd been enough strength in her slap to knocked him back. It had been far stronger than Kagome's when she'd slapped him. He lifted his eyes from his hand and laid them on Ayame. He smirked chuckling softly and stepped forward making her scoot back. He set his hand back on his cheek rubbing it before setting his hand back to his side and licking his lips.
"Violent, are we?"
Ayame's eyes darted around the cave as she looked for a way out. Kouga only took up a small way but she knew his speed. Even with the help of the wind and leaves she controlled, she wouldn't be able to escape.
"I thought you wanted me out," she suddenly said trying to excuse herself. Kouga smirked setting both hands on his hips.
"Well if I can't have Kagome, I might as well take the next best thing. Plus you yourself said only you could be my wife, so here I'm doing what you said. Now then..."
Ayame pushed herself against the wall as he knelt in front of her. Her eyes trembled with terror as he moved closer.
Kouga stopped for a moment noting the fear on her face. It seemed as though she would start crying any moment. He didn't understand. Didn't Ayame want to be his mate? He didn't exactly love her that much yet, but he could learn to.
Her head snapped to the side as he reached a hand up. She felt his fingers touch her chin.
"Ayame," he whispered, "look at me."
Ayame let out a frightened whimper. It was his voice. It was the gentle one, the one she remembered, the one she'd fallen in love with. Slowly she opened her eyes turning her head back towards him.
"Why do you fear me?" he asked. Ayame bit the inside of her cheek to keep her tears in. Kouga released her chin and his arm on his knee. Ayame felt the tears well up and let them fall and blur her vision. She blinked letting them slide down her cheeks. She raised her hands to Kouga's face cupping his cheeks. She leaned forward setting her forehead against his and closed her eyes.
"This isn't the Kouga I remember," she whispered letting out a soft sob. "The one I remember is gentle. H-he doesn't threaten and he's kind. Where is he?"
Ayame lifted her head from his gazing deep into his ice blue eyes. "Where is he?"
Kouga raised a hand setting it over one of hers keeping it to his cheek for a moment. He took her hand pulling it down and set it against his chest.
"He's right here," he whispered. Ayame felt more tears slide down her face.
"He's hiding," he continued, "That's the me that knew Kagome. I want to forget about her. I'm returning to my old self. Being a leader that's seeking for a mate. I can be gentle when I want to be."
Ayame let out another whimper pulling her hand away. Kouga let her hand slide from his grasp.
"I'm sorry... if I scared you."
Ayame lifted her head meeting Kouga's gaze again. She felt some of her fear slip away as he chuckled softly.
"I didn't mean to scare you so badly. I don't exactly have much experience with women, 'cause I always get rejected."
Ayame felt pity fill her as she lowered her head.
"I wasn't scared," she whispered. Kouga felt a smile start to form on his face until her next words.
"I was terrified."
The smile slowly faded. His mouth hung slightly open as his eyes widened. Ayame took in a shaky breathe and covered her face to conceal her tears.
"I-I thought you were going to rape me," she confessed in a slightly squeaky voice. She inhaled sharply letting her body lean forward.
"I know it sounds crazy, but for a few minutes, I really thought you were going to rape me."
Kouga felt his teeth grit together as a slight anger and hurt filled his heart. He grabbed her wrists pulling them from her face.
"Do you think I'd really do that? Do you?! Do you think I think of you as a whore?!"
Ayame let out loud sobs into the air trying to pull her hands away.
"You aren't a slut so stop thinking of yourself as one! I simply want you to obey me, nothing more!"
Ayame cried out turning her head to the side. Kouga growled his annoyance out throwing her arms down letting her fall. He stood abruptly storming out of the cave.
"That's no way to win a girl," a voice came from the guarding post. Kouga strode past the vague figure with ease letting out a threatening growl.
"Shut up Hakkaku."
