Chapter 2

Home Sweet Home

"So where's Koga?" One of the wolf's upper-level soldiers asked.

The younger scout shrugged his shoulders, "I think he said he was off to get his 'woman' is it that human from before?"

"Prolly," a third said scratching behind his ear with his foot. "he's been obsessed with her lately. Her name is Kagome."

"Oh yeah! Pretty little thing for a human. Smart as hell too, completely fooled me with that little fox cub from before." Then he went and shivered, "Lot of our men died shortly after then, remember that wind witch? Nearly cut our ranks in half." Yes, he was supposed to die then, but he had to get the other, younger soldiers as far away from the witch as possible.

"Yeah, but that woman was upset, do you think she may care about Koga?" The third one asked, he had been there, and had survived thanks to the older soldier in front of him.

"Ah quit your yappin! I could hear you about half a mile away!" Koga announced as he walked into the den his bundle hanging limply over his shoulder.

"K-Koga? Is that the woman?" The young scout asked as he gazed at Koga. "You didn't hurt her to badly did you?"

Koga made a snort sound "Course not, she just wouldn't stop yellin' so I pushed a pressure point in her neck. She'll wake up in a little while."

"What about that Inuyasha person? Won't he come looking for her?" A fourth and relatively stupid wolf asked his voice unsure, "I remember what he did last time."

Koga smirked as he put Kagome's slumbering form onto his bed. "Don't worry about him, I put a spell on the area, my scent won't show up for three days, not at all if there's a rain."

The wolf that had been scratching his ear switched ears as he asked, "What kind of spell Koga?"

"You don't know? You're a full-blood and don't know?" Koga asked stunned, this boy had been an addition to his clan. Newer blood brought in, since most of the men here were of some sort of blood relation too one another.

The boy shook his head a moment, before resuming his scratching.

"It's a basic spell that most youkai learn when they are mere pups, usually only if they have pure blood or noble births." Koga shook his head, "You should've known it too."

The boy began to pick his nose with his toe at this point, "Sorry Koga, never been one much for spells." Then, he pulled his toe from his nose, licking it clean.

Koga said nothing instead he sat down next to Kagome on his bed. He had much planning to do, since the last time Kagome was here things had changed a bit, he still needed her for the Shikon jewel, but that was simply not enough any more. He would have to get the whole thing, in order to kill Naraku, and especially his offspring. After all, that Kagura witch had thought to play with him, toying with his mind, using his dead soldiers to make him do her dirty work.

Koga closed his eyes in mild frustration, he didn't need this kind of stress, but once this was all over he would come out on top. Until then he would simply have to keep his human mate satisfied.

He glanced at her sleeping form briefly and thought about something, "Did anyone think to go hunting?"

"The wolves caught some rabbits earlier, but they were pretty chewed up and stuff by the time they got here." The wolf that had been picking his nose said as he scratched his head, (using his toe of course) but I think they're all gone by now."

"Well go hunt then!" Koga ordered, it would figure that the only ones left living were the dumbest. "Make sure you don't get any human meat either. I won't tolerate my mate being scared shitless."

The boy saluted with his foot and he, plus three others, left the cave.

"You three," he said addressing the remaining soldiers, "Go gather some wood for a fire. We've got to cook the food."

They also saluted in... Odd ways and left the cave as ordered.

Koga watched them leave and then he lay back his hands behind his head in an attempt to get comfortable. He had just come to a conclusion about his remaining soldiers as they had left, they were retarded, that's all there was to it! Instead of killing them, Kagura had made them retarded!

Kagome stirred to his right, reminding him that he wasn't truly alone in this cave. She groaned audibly before her eyes started to flutter open. "Wah?" she groaned not fully awake yet.

Koga smirked slightly, she was disoriented was she? Forcefully induced sleep could do that to humans.

He sat up half way, turning his body so that he had one arm on each side of Kagome's hips. He, of course, didn't dare to put his legs on either side of hers, she was a bit wild and might just hit... HIM somewhere HE didn't find all that nice.

It took a moment but eventually her eyes focused and, when realizing her position, she screamed, or at least, she would have. Koga stopped her using one of the meanest, oldest, but sweetest tricks in the book. He kissed her.

"Mph!" Kagome whined as she felt Koga's tongue dart into her mouth, searching and licking all over. 'What is he doing?! This isn't right, no this isn't how my first kiss was supposed to be!' Kagome thought wildly.

She was actually still halfway asleep, and the shock was sending her into overdrive. Why the hell did he think it okay to just jump on her like that? When she hadn't even been conscious a full twenty seconds?

Scared that he may try to continue on Kagome tried with her pathetically weak human muscles to push him away but Koga pinned her wrist to the sides of her head.

He hadn't been expecting that, his very reaction to her open mouth had shocked him, she was a human after all. However the taste of her mouth had been what shocked him the very most. She was untainted by another man's mouth, her first kiss he realized, plus her mouth was clean, as though she took care of it as most humans didn't. It left her with such a sweet and pure taste and Koga found he couldn't pull away.

He felt her hands on his chest trying to push but he wasn't ready to stop the kiss then, not at all. He didn't fight the urge to pin her arms down, besides it gave him more open opportunity to explore her mouth.

"Hey guys! Koga's already trying to mate her!" was what stopped the kiss. One of the youkai he had sent for firewood, why was he back already? It had been less than two minutes!

He turned around sharply, ready to yell at the boy for not bringing enough wood, however the boy's arms were filled to the brim with wood and stick. He had just walked around and picked things up, when most of them would cut a tree down if Koga had sent them all off.

"Where you want the fire-pit?" the boy asked innocently enough and thinking nothing of intruding, after all, when Koga was first looking for a mate, men had done that a thousand times over. All in all, Koga had come to thank them for not allowing him to mate with a woman he didn't want to keep.

Koga growled low in his throat before directing the boy towards the center of the room. "Make the fire quickly." Koga ordered his tone dangerous. "Then I suggest you leave."

Kagome shot up and punched Koga, not caring that it would hardly affect him at all, she just wanted to hit him. "YOU-YOU PERVERT!" She screeched pulling his ear close to her mouth. "HOW DARE YOU!"

Almost instinctively Koga put his hand up and held her mouth with his hand also pushing her back down onto the straw mattress. Damn it all, his head was about to slip in two! Why did she have to be such a pain? "Hurry up and leave boy!" Koga commanded the scout. His voice relatively loud.

The scout shook his head a moment to regain his senses before dropping the wood in the middle of the room. He then quickly saluted and ran from the cave, thoroughly sure that Koga was about to punish his mate-to-be.

And, that was exactly what Koga had in mind. "Bitch, you are my woman, do not scream at me!" he ordered pushing her further into the bed. She began to try and wiggle free of him, all the while glaring daggers into his eyes.

"Why do you have to act this way?" Koga settled himself of her stomach, one leg on each of her hips. "I don't want to hurt you Kagome, never scream at me again, you hear?"

Kagome screamed openly into his hand, trying to bite him as well.

Koga pulled his hand back and swiftly brought it across Kagome's cheek, he had to teach her, and if he had to treat her as a demon bitch he would.

The sound reverberated off the walls, hitting both Koga and Kagome's ears hard.

Kagome didn't feel the pain at first, the only reason she had even recognized the slap was because of the noise. A tear came to her eye from the ache that settled in eventually, he had stricken her, for screaming? She was to afraid to look into his eyes, afraid to see why he had, sure her scream must have hurt his ears, but did that mean he had to hit her?

Koga looked at his fresh red handprint on Kagome's cheek. It bothered him a bit, seeing the mark he had made, but she wouldn't scream at him any more now would she? Then again, perhaps he had overdone it a bit, because running through the hand print were four, even red and slightly bleeding claw marks, very narrow, but visible nun-the-less.

"Are you done screaming yet?" He asked her, not wanting to reveal his inner turmoil. "I didn't want to do that Kagome, believe me, but you brought it upon yourself. It's not right that you can hurt my ears and I can do nothing."

Kagome nodded her head, trying not to allow herself to cry. She suddenly felt drained, as though she was sleepy but her body wasn't at all tired.

"Good, now come on, I sent a hunting party out, they should be here shortly." He informed her, removing himself from her stomach. "Hope you don't mind but we only eat meat here."

Kagome said nothing to this. She simply sat up, and crawled to the back wall, sitting in the fetal position.

"Come on now Kagome, don't act like that. You shouldn't be so glum, after all now that you're here things can be the way they're supposed to be!" He said turning towards her. "Hey, who knows we could end up with pups sooner or later."

"You don't want pups with me..." Kagome accused him her voice low and quiet. "You just want the Shikon No Tama... Just like everyone else."

This wasn't a good sign, but in truth, he couldn't deny her accusation, that's why he had planned on making her his woman in the first place, and that was still his plan, right? But he had proclaimed love for her, and, it didn't seem too hard to believe. "Kagome don't say those kind of things. I say I want pups with you and I do! If I have to prove it to you now I will." He said the last part with a playful smirk going her way.

And, to both of their surprises, she gave a half-hearted giggle. She couldn't help it though, Koga just had to be playful and it did in fact ease her a bit. Perhaps she wouldn't mind staying here a while, if he didn't pull any more of those moves on her, that is. "Okay, alright but I won't be so resistant to you if you don't act like such a pervert."

Koga smiled putting his nose in the air and his hands on his hips. "Can't make ya any promises you know." He said half laughing and shaking his head.

She couldn't help but allow a small smile to grace her lips. Okay, so maybe that slap wasn't such a big deal. She had felt worse before and in a way she did kind of bring it on herself. "Only meat?" she asked him changing the subject. "Not one singular plant type thing?"

Koga turned on his bed sitting so that he was facing her. "Nope, sorry but canines are carnivorous." He told her truthfully, the only reason the dog- turd probably ate things that weren't meat more than likely had to do with his human mother.

"Now why does that sound so familiar?" Kagome wondered to herself. "I know I heard someone say that before..." (Inuyasha said it to Shippou once)

"Doesn't matter now does it?" Koga asked her with a shrug. "But if you really want some other kinds of food there is a village close to here. I'll go down sometime and get ya somethin'. I'll have to do it too since the rest of my pack will think I mean to get humans as food."

Kagome visibly shivered, remembering the first time she had come here. They had thought Koga brought her to feed them. "G-good idea." She agreed.
