Wow! Thank you all so much for all your wonderful reviews. I am sooo glad you like my story. Answers reviews:

SesshyLover: yes, I am very evil for leaving you guys with a cliffy. I will try to settle your minds in the suture, but I thought it was a good place to end because I wanted to post it last night. My mum was bugging me for my computer...lol Sora the taske: just wait until Inu gets his hands on her for leaving...muhahaha evil grin

Shesshy-Slipperz/S.Wooz: AMY LEE ROX THIS WORLD!! I love all her music; I don't think there is a bad song on her CD. It's funny when you think about Inuyasha with headphones on cuz he has suck cute ears. Have you seen The Animal with Rob Schnider? Wouldn't it be funny if he became a drug sniffer for the police...he'd be so cute!

Desumegami: thank you, I'm glad you like it, and I hope to be updating at least once a day.

DemonDragon000: I think that as long as she has Koga, she'll always have some form of freedom, even when Inuyasha makes her world come crashing down on her, Koga will always be there for her. That's why I took advantage of the pairing...

Next chapter is going to be based around the plot of Kikyo and Inuyasha. We'll finally find out how they are planning to get back the rest of Kikyo's soul and the shards Kagome have of the Shikon no tama.

Would any of you like a lemon? I won't put one in if it isn't wanted. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate...maybe just something small at the end.

Here we go with chapter 3... enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own any Inuyasha characters.

Koga stared at her briefly. Curiosity and nervousness flickered across his face. He was anticipating her question as she looked at him thoughtfully. 'How to say this so I don't sound stupid...' she wondered.

"Okay. I guess I will have to ask this bluntly. Um... Do you ever fantasize about your first time... making love...um...and how you would like it to be?" she asked blushing furiously at the ground.

Koga grinned sheepishly at her with a soft pink blush tinting his cheeks. "I can't say I know what you mean. Maybe you could enlighten me?" he said cautiously.

Kagome blushed even deeper (if that was at all possible) and looked him in the eyes. "Do you want me to tell you mine?" she asked quietly.

"If you want to, I wont pressure it out of you. I just want some sort of guideline as to what you mean...there's lotsa stuff I fantasize about..." he suddenly clamped a hand over his mouth and blushed. He had said too much and now Kagome was staring at him curiously.

"Like what?" she asked innocently.

"Well...like, um...." He began staring around the room hoping for something to divert her attention. "You." He whispered the last part.

"ME! What about me?" she asked shocked.

"Well, I guess about...everything. You hair in the sunlight, your smile, how your eyes sparkle when you look at me. Little things like that. I'm in love with everything about you. I don't understand why you don't just stay here with me. You're at the age now where you shouldn't be venturing out on stupid quests, especially with a pea-brained hanyou that couldn't care less about your well being. You should be starting to settle down with a mate and start a family. Preferably with me." He said while stroking the soft skin of her neck. If all went well, he would place his mark in that very spot. She would be his and he'd love her until the end of his days.

Kagome felt tingles shooting up and down her spine. His touch felt so good, she didn't want him to stop. It was so relaxing. She looked up at him and smiled. "I guess you still want to know my fantasy huh?" she said, he grinned in response, than nodded to tell her to go on.

"Well, I guess I'm a hopeless romantic. What that means is, well, someone who has always dreamed of being swept of her feet by a prince charming, taking romantic walks along a deserted beach, reciting poetry and other forms of literature to each other by the fire...stuff like that. So you better not laugh at me, this is very private. No one else has ever heard this."

Little did she know that the crowd out side of the door had grown quite a bit in the past few minutes of their conversation. They now had every member of the pack listening in on the juicy details.

"I've always wanted my first time to be absolutely perfect. I guess you could call me old fashion, but I want to stay innocent until I'm married. So I guess it would be my wedding night, or the first night of my honeymoon. Anyway, we would return home together, and go into our room. There would be candles everywhere burning brightly along side our bed. There would be rose petals scattered across our sheets and pillows, and the room would smell sweet with the fragrance of the roses. Then he'd take me in his arms and kiss me. We'd make love all night, his touch would be soft and caressing. He'd be very gentle, and loving, not rough. At least not our first time... Anyways, I guess that's it, I don't have a lot of experience with these kinds of things...Koga?" she said quietly.

Koga was just staring at her, wide eyed and grinning. 'That sounds amazing. I wonder if the 'he' she was talking about could be me...' he thought. He had just started picturing the images in his mind of the 'he' being him and all of the stuff she had said happening in their bed, when he heard her say his name.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"What's wrong? Was it something I said? Do you need to lie down? You look a little pale." She asked concern evident in her voice. 'I hope I didn't scare him'

"Nah, I'm fine, I was just thinking, I never had any dreams like that. I only ever hoped of someday being with you. And having pups and being a Dad. I've kinda always wanted to be one. I just never met the right girl. Then I found you..." he said softly. "But we've been through this before, 'Koga, I just don't know...'" He said in a mocking voice. She giggled.

"That was before. I guess I wasn't ready to make a decision then. I'm not even sure if I want to make it now. But I can tell you one thing. I will not be wasting my time with Inuyasha any more." She said triumphantly. "How about some more of that cough medicine? It worked pretty good."

She said happily changing the subject. "Yuck. Why don't you feed some of that shit to Dog face." Koga mumbled.

He obediently walked over to Kagome and opened his mouth. She put 2 teaspoons (actually using the spoon this time) into his mouth. He swallowed, grimaced, then went back over to lay down.

Hakkaku suddenly burst through the door with a smile. Ginta was right behind him. "I brought you 3 rabbits and a baby boar.

" He said quite out of breath.

"Do you want me to cook that for you?" she asked sounding quite hopeful.

He curled his nose up and grunted out "Yuck!" then proceeded to talk to Hakkaku.

"How is everyone? Has our territory been disturbed?" he asked wanting to know the state of his lands.

"Um...everyone is fine, but I wonder why they're all crowded at your door." He said absentmindedly. Koga's eyes nearly bulged out of his head. He stormed over to the pelts, flipped them aside to see his entire pack piled up in front of his chambers.

"What the hell are you doing! Spying on us?" He bellowed. Ginta and Hakkaku grinned as everyone took off scrambling to get away from Koga's wrath. He grinned and turned to Ginta.

"Nice of you to show up. Last I checked it was you who was to hunt." Koga challenged.

"Koga! I-I am so sorry!!! I lost track of time! I f-fell in the river! I... don't know!" he wailed trying to find some poor excuse to satisfy his friend. Koga grinned and put his arm over his shoulder and began to walk out of the room.

"Don't worry about it, I know. Congratulations. You better take care of her." Koga said.

"Uh...Thanks Koga. I didn't know you knew." He said. " Oh and guess what! I'm gonna be a father!" Ginta squealed, catching the attention of his mate from a far corner of the room. He motioned for her to come over, and she complied.

"Koga, this is Misayo." Ginta introduced.

Koga grinned and bowed politely. (A little something he remembered his father teaching him when he was a kid. He is a prince ya know! Lol) She was pregnant indeed. He could smell it, and he could practically feel the pride beaming off of Ginta.

She giggled and bowed as well. "Nice to see you're feeling better. I guess the young Miko has worked her magic." She teased. Koga's grin grew even wider at the thought. 'She heard everything too...humph!' he thought.

"She's definitely worked something, but I'm not sure how magical it is...it tastes awful." He groaned making a face.

Ginta and Misayo just laughed as Kagome came storming out of the room. "Geeze Koga! I turn my head for two seconds and you're gone! I told you to stay in your room!" she yelled. Koga once again turned back to go to his room. Kagome saw the sad look in his eyes and felt terrible. She walked up to him and hugged him tightly. "I just want you to get better fast. If you stay in you room, you can leave it sooner. Then you can get back to your daily routine. Until then, I have to ask you to stay there." She said sadly. "I hate seeing you cooped up in there, but it's the only way, and you've come around full circle from yesterday. I'd give it until tomorrow so you can get your strength back. Then you can go out." She said smiling.

"You know best, Love. Let's go." He said with a sigh. Together they made their way back to their room for the rest of the day.

They went into the bedroom and lay down on the bed. Both of them were getting sick of sleeping, so they began to talk again.

"Koga?"

"Hm?" "Can I ask you a question?"

"Another one?" he said cocking an eyebrow with a grin.

Kagome blushed. "I was just wondering if it hurt when you changed forms. I never was able to ask Sesshomaru because I knew he wouldn't answer me." She said.

"No, why would it hurt? My body was born to be able to do that." He answered.

"Um... Koga?"

"Yes, Love?"

"Can you change for me again? I really want to see..." she asked timidly.

"Of course. Get comfortable, cuz I'm gonna be your lap wolf for a little while." He said with a smirk.

His body slowly began to change into the body of a black wolf. He locked eyes with Kagome and nuzzled her. He knew she was a bit unnerved at the sight of his new body; that was expected. He knew that he would have to make her more comfortable, so he rolled over for her to rub his tummy and barked tauntingly. She giggled and complied.

Within due time, she found herself actually playing with Koga. He was enjoying this fun immensely. It had been years since he had played with anyone. His sister had long since grown up and now had a mate of her own, as well as pups. And his father was to old for this sort of activity, and his mother had died when he was a little. Kagome, however, was lots of fun and he didn't mind one bit.

Finally they decided to relax and snuggled in under the covers. His head rested on her stomach and his tail against her left leg. Kagome yawned and settled in for a comforting nap.

A few hours later, Kagome was jolted awake when Koga leaped from the bed yelping and growling. Kagome thought he'd went nuts and just stared at him. He was running around the room hunched over, trying to bite his left side hear his tail. Kagome was going to go over and help see what was wrong, and pulled back the blankets, only to see a large puddle of blood where Koga had been laying and a small white and brown mouse running around on the white furs. Kagome screamed and Koga cringed as the high-pitched sound filled his ears.

"Koga! A MOUSE!" she shrieked. He growled and ran to her, forgetting the pain he was in. He saw the little critter, pounced on it, and devoured it in an instant licking his lips. Kagome felt ill and would have passed out had she not been huddled in the corner near the bed.

He walked over and nuzzled her, whining. He slowly lay down and began licking at a small red hole on his side. It was bleeding a little bit, and looked really sore. Kagome got up and went over to him. she reached out her hand and began stroking his soft fur.

"Don't worry Koga, I'll fix you up. Could you possibly change back so the bandage doesn't pull your fur?" she asked. He nodded and stood up.

He again made the transition to his other form. Kagome led him to the bed and lay him down. Then the realization dawned on her.

'KAMI! I'm going to see Koga's bum! That's where the mouse bit him!' She started to giggle. Koga just stared at her as if he was waiting for her to tell him what he'd missed.

"Drop you drawers Koga, the Doctor's going in!" she said between giggles. Koga blushed heatedly. He complied with her wishes however, and laid down in the bed. Now it was Kagome's turn to blush. 'Omigosh! I can't believe he just did that! I saw everything that I wasn't supposed to!' she thought and grinned inwardly.

"Aren't you shy?" she asked him.

"Not really, why?"

"Well, You didn't even ask me to turn around. I would have given you privacy you know." she said with a giggle.

"Well, seeing as how you're my woman and all, I figured I'd give you a sneak preview of what your in for." He said winking at her.

Kagome blushed. "Roll over and hold still, I have to put some stuff on it to kill the bacteria," she said. "This is going to sting okay, so don't freak out. I'm sure you had worse."

With that she poured the rubbing alcohol on his ass and put a cloth over it to cool the sensation. Koga howled in pain as the liquid burned the sensitive skin. As soon as she put the cloth over it, he reduced it to a soft whine. She then took a bandage and put it on his bum. She giggled when he flicked his tail in annoyance of the small wound. She reached up and began to pet it softly. He relaxed again and closed his eyes. 'This feels better. Geeze...stupid mouse.' He thought.

"Koga?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I braid your tail?"

"WHAT! I'll look like a girl!" he snapped.

"You don't have to keep it in, I just want to experiment." She pleaded.

"Sure why not...Just don't let it get all curly and stuff." He growled.

"Fine, fine." She said. She then began to braid it. The tip of his tail twitched every once in a while. He yawned out of boredom. Finally she undid the braid and smacked his bare bum, jolting him back to reality. She giggled as he turned to face her with a sly grin on his face.

"Koga? I'd really like to go have a bath. There's a spring near by, I saw it when I came here with the guys. I'll be back in a few minutes. Why don't you just relax, and hang in here for a bit. Okay?" she said cheerfully.

Koga frowned. "You're leaving? Fine then..." he said grumbling and turning away from her on the bed. Kagome sighed and kissed him on the cheek. She grabbed her towel and left.

"This is wonderful. This water is sooo nice and warm." Kagome said to no one in particular. She then heard a slight rustle in the bushes behind her. She turned around to see two female ookami youkai from Koga's tribe approach.

"Hi Sis! Mind if we join you?" One asked.

Sighing in relief, she nodded. "Of course you can. How are you tonight?" Kagome asked inquisitively.

"We're terrific. Ginta and I are so happy. We can't wait until we have our first child together. I'm Misayo, and this is my sister Suki." She said happily.

"It's nice to meet you both. You're having a pup! That's wonderful! Do you want a boy or girl?" Kagome asked curiously.

"Well, I kind of want a girl, but I really don't care, as long as it's healthy." She said automatically putting a hand to her tummy.

"How are you and Koga?" Suki asked. "We heard a pretty heated conversation earlier." She said, slight amusement hinted in her voice.

"Um...We're good." she replied not knowing what else to say.

The girls talked for a few minutes more, and Kagome got up to leave. She said goodnight to them and left to return to the den.

Koga was laying on his back in the bed when she came in. he had put his furs back on before she came and was just laying there with his eyes closed. She was dressed in only a towel, and thought of a terrific way to wake up the sleeping prince.

Silently she crept in and stood by the end of the bed. She coughed lightly and he opened his eyes, only to see her drop the towel. His eyes, as well as something else, bulged. He lay there, mouth slightly open, staring in awe at the beauty before him. 'She's perfect.' He thought.

She grinned and started walking toward him. He swallowed hard and watched her as she proceeded to approach. She straddled him and sat down. 'Please don't let me laugh' Kagome thought.

She gently leaned down and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her down on top of him. 'This is MINE! No one will ever get to see this!' he thought proudly as he kissed her. Koga then flipped her over so that she was under him. she giggled and nipped his lip, nearly driving him over the edge! He began gently kissing down her neck and collarbone. Her skin was smooth and creamy, and she smelled so good. Goose bumps began forming all over her as he danced his hands up and down her body.

The great bear pelts were suddenly swung open before they could experiment any further, to which Koga nearly screamed Bloody Murder.

"KOGA!" boomed a great voice.

"Father! What the hell do you think you're doing! We could have been mating or something! Haven't you heard of knocking!" he yelled as he scrambled to hide his woman from his father's wandering eyes. Finally he threw the fur blanket over her, only to hear her sigh in relief.

She smiled and nuzzled Koga's cool neck. "It's okay, we weren't doing anything bad. This is your Father?" She asked sweetly.

"Yes, I am Koga's father, Lord Kagehiko. You must be the Miko I've heard so much about. Welcome to the family sweetheart. Take good care of him and keep him out of trouble." He said winking at her. "Koga, may I speak to you for a moment?"

"Uh...Sure Father." He said. He sent an apologetic glance at Kagome and headed out after the youkai Lord.

"Son, I heard you weren't well, how are you feeling?" he asked anxiously.

"I'm fine, is that all?" Koga asked, sounding quite annoyed.

"No. I need to know if we are still holding the gathering here. If not, we need to send messengers out immediately and tell the other two tribes that it will be held at my domain in the North." (I have no idea where Koga's from so I just made it up...if anyone could correct me, I'd appreciate it)

"Yes, it will be held here, I'm fine." He said to his father. "Now if you'll excuse me."

Heading back into the bedroom, he was surprised to find Kagome was still not clothed. Her eyes were closed and her mouth was slightly open forming the perfect 'o'. Koga grinned admiring her, then jumped on her. She gasped as he impacted her, sending her into a fit of laughter.

"Hello to you too." She said smiling.

"Are you cold?" he asked sliding under the blanket.

"No. Um...What gathering? If I may know." She asked timidly.

"Oh! The three packs in this area have a gathering every six lunar cycles. It is going to happen tomorrow, and I'm hosting it." He said.

"Isn't tomorrow the full moon?" she asked.

"Yep, lots of light to see with after the fire goes out. It's easier to travel by." He supposed.

'So that's where the old tales of werewolves came from and the idea of the full moon. They only used it to see by when they are traveling home at night.' She thought smiling.

"That's great Koga, I guess I could go back tomorrow, seeing as your all better now." She said miserably. In truth, she really wanted to stay with him. She loved him, and wanted nothing more than to be at his side from now on. He probably wanted to do this on his own though, seeing as it was really none of her business, she wasn't an ookami youkai.

Koga growled. "Why would you leave? You said you'd stay for a while. I thought you liked it here..." he said dejectedly. "I'm not like you, I won't fit in. they'll think you're weak for being here with a human." She told him.

"No Kagome, if that was the case, I would be overthrown by my own pack. You have proven yourself to them that you are a worthy Leader of this pack. If you're accepted by us, then you have nothing to worry about with the others." He told her as he wrapped her cool naked body in his arms.

"And besides, no one questions me about my choices, or my woman. I've been a leader for one hundred and seventy years, I think I'm capable of making sound choices on my own, don't you?" he asked nuzzling her cheek playfully.

She giggled in contentment. "Of course. I guess if you think it'll be okay, I'll stay with you." She said smiling warmly into his eyes.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. It's lots of fun. There's music, and dancing, and everyone talks about what has gone on in the past six months. It's nothing formal, just a big party." He said comforting her.

"Koga? Do you really love me?" she asked.

"Of course I do. Why? Did I do something to make you unhappy or doubtful of the fact?" he asked worried.

No, I was just wondering. Do you still want me to be your mate?" she asked shyly.

"YES! More than anything!" he said enthusiastically. "Have you decided?"

"Yes, I have. I was thinking earlier, and I really do love you. You've never hurt me, and you've always protected me. And I feel like a real person when I'm with you. I love you so much. I don't think I could ever feel like this for anyone else. The feelings I had for Inuyasha have been destroyed, I feel nothing for him but a friendship. If you'll have me, I'm all yours." She said smiling.

Koga was ecstatic, although he said nothing. She could see it in his eyes. He only leaned down and claimed her mouth in a loving kiss.
