The leader of the tribe sat in hay as his eyes couldn't help but linger over to the once leader of the Kakadu. She slept soundless as the tooth necklace hung around her neck. That tooth that she possesses was from the great forest wolf that watched over them. When another pup was born, they would find a tooth near in their cave lying peacefully on pelt. That tooth would protect them from any danger. But only two members remained from that tribe, as the great forest wolf was saddened.

Kouga let out a sigh as he leaned his head back against the cave when the white she-wolf sat down in front of him. He opened one eye seeing it was Ismene as her icy blue hair was a dead giveaway. She sat, waiting for him to ask what she wanted as she just stared at him, her dark brown eyes staring at him. He let out a sigh as he sat up.

"What?!" he barked when a sudden growl was heard from across the cave, of course it belonged to Khu who watched his mate carefully.

"Kagome has had a difficult life. Knowing that you are an outcast in a tribe of those who should protect you, a tribe that you rule for. She must be confused at this point in time. It doesn't seem she truly remembers her life before...but for some reason she remembers you. Were you two close?" Kouga nodded slowly as he listened to her.

"Being best friends for years has its advantages. And during that war that all the tribes were fighting in, we were the only two who survived from our tribe. She was injured so I decided to stay with her in death, but of course, she objected. I thought she was dead all these years. But I don't know how to speak with her now." Kouga said as Ismene nodded.

"Give her time." Kouga nodded as Ismene rose.

"Do you think the Kakadu will attack us again?" Ismene nodded as if that was a silly question.

"As Giselle as the leader, she won't stop until Kagome and my mate and I are slain." She said as she left to Khu who leaned against the cave. He wrapped an arm around Ismene protectively as she laid on him.

Kouga stared over at Kagome once again as he breathed in deeply and leaned his head against the cave again. He slowly fell asleep as wolves kept guard that night.

She ran her clawed hand through the freezing water as she cupped the water in her hands as she wiped her face. She couldn't help but want to remain alone. The only thing she remembered from her past...was the name of the wolf that had tried to slay her, and she him. She let out a sigh when a figure came up behind her. She sat down as the figure sat next to her.

"What do you want Kouga?" she asked as Kouga turned to her.

"Your sister told me last night, that you don't remember anything." He watched as she nodded and grasped her tooth necklace. He decided to start at the beginning.

"Do you remember why we got the fang necklace?" he asked as she shook her head. Kouga nodded as he clasped his own and spoke the tale of their past and the great forest wolf.

Kagome couldn't help but wish to hear more about her past in her original tribe and was saddened as his deep voice came to a halt. She glanced up at the night sky in wonder.

"What happened to you? How long were you alone?" Kagome asked as she glanced at Kouga. His dark brown eyes seemed to harden as his bushy pitch-black hair was swaying in the wind. His deep and soothing voice calmed her once again.

-----Flashback

A lone wolf walked alone in the forest as he heard distant howling behind him. His head was hung, as he knew it was the great forest wolf watching him. He pushed back bushes as he jumped through and heard water slam against the boulders down below as he saw a wolf pack up in a cave. He turned around when he bumped into a figure as he was suddenly flung up in the air with ease.

"Well look at that Kino. Looks like a lost pup."

"What should we do with him?" Kino asked as he twitched in the slightest. The wolf demon holding the pup up smacked his companion.

"Take him to Raki. She'll know what to do." He said as he tightened his hold on the struggling pup.

"Release me or I'll be forced to attack you!" he said ruggedly. The two wolves laughed hysterically as the one holding him dangled him over the cliff as the mist of the waterfall hit against his face.

The sound of howling and laughter reached the pup's ears as he was flung onto the ground in front of a woman who wore a fur cape and skirt as her black eyes pierced him. She kneeled next to him as she put her clawed hand under his chin and lifted up his face. Running her long nails along his chin as he flinched in the slightest. A small trickle of blood dripped from his chin and onto the ground.

"He is alone correct?" Raki asked as she shot up her gaze to the two wolf-demons who brought the pup. They nodded as she glanced back at him. "Clean him up. Train him as he is our own and he will take over the tribe." She said as she rose. There were screams of objection but her stare backed them down.

The pup stared at her in wonder as he was suddenly pulled away.

----end flashback

His voice stopped as he glanced over at Kagome. How they both had changed. How different they were now.

"You shouldn't wonder too far out." He said as Kagome glared at him.

"I am able to take care of myself." She barked, Kouga nodded.

"I was just worried for you." He said as he rose and left, Kagome stared after him.

----

Ismene sat against the cave as her dark brown eyes showed excitement but a hint of worry flashed through her eyes as her mate was sent out with the hunting raid. She was left as the rest of the wolf-demons stared at her. She wasn't worried, she could take a few of them if she must. Suddenly, Kagome walked in as she smiled and shot up.

"Kagome!" she said as her older sister looked at her and smiled.

"Ismene. You are still awake?" She nodded as her icy blue hair fell over her beautiful face.

"I have news." She said with a blush.

Kagome cocked an eyebrow, as she suddenly smelt a new scent. Her face instantly broke out in a smile.

"You are now containing a pup!" Kagome shouted as she cupped her little sister's face as they smiled at each other. Ismene hugged her loosely as Kagome beckoned her sister to the side of the cave.

"Does Khu know?" Ismene nodded excitedly as Kagome couldn't help but let out a chuckle. But her face turned serious as she glanced at the ground. "I'm afraid I must tell you bad news now" Ismene's face was instantly blank.

"Nani?"

"Giselle...her aura is radiating off this forest. She will be coming back." Ismene nodded.

"When do you suspect?"

"A week." Ismene nodded as she glanced along her new tribe.

"Will this tribe be ready?"

"I hope so..."

Kouga listened intently to the two sisters as they spoke in hushed whispers. So, the Kakadu tribe would once again come. And they now had a week to prepare. He let out a slight laugh. This time he would slay the entire Kakadu tribe. He turned his glance to Kagome who seemed as if she noticed but didn't make it obvious. He would slay the tribe for separating them.

He glanced up at the night sky as he felt Kagome's stare linger over his body, as a deep howl echoed through the forest. The Great forest wolf was protecting the two remaining members.
