"I have one question Kouga," said Colleen. "Yes?" Kouga seemed impatient and ready to fight. "What happens if there's a tie?" "Hmmm," Kouga said with deep thought. "I've got it!" Kouga reached an idea and snapped hi fingers. "If there's a tie, you'll have to stay with me and my gang, but you'll be the female leader of the gang. Whadda ya think?" "Sounds pretty good," Colleen replied. "But you'll still have to wear this," Kouga said as he held up the bathrobe. "Uggg…fine," groaned Colleen. "All right, the fight between Colleen and Kouga will begin…NOW!" Colleen and Kouga started circling the ring, watching each other cautiously and waiting for the other to make the first move.
Kouga made the first move, striking at Colleen's shin, but she jump on top of him before he could even scratch her. Colleen started to pull Kouga's leg far back (like they do in wrestling!), but left her legs unprotected from Kouga's arms. He grabbed her legs and flipped her over, with him on top of her. "Go Kouga," was shouted through the crowd around the clearing. Colleen was rolling around the ring, trying to get Kouga off her. Suddenly, she got her chance. He was going to jump on her with his legs, but before he could do so Colleen kangaroo kicked his stomach, sending him to the edge of the ring. "Nice Kick," Kouga said as he stood up, which left Colleen dazed in thought. How was he able to get up after I kicked him like that?
Unfortunately, Kouga used Colleen's time of thought against her. He kicked her to the ground and sat on her, making it basically impossible for Colleen to get up. "Ready to give up sweetie?" Kouga seemed like he didn't care that he had injured her pretty badly. "Not a chance loser," Colleen said as her eyes gleamed red and the demon inside her took center stage. With a deafening roar, she got Kouga on the ground. She jumped on top of him and scratched him across his chest, leaving a crescent moon bleeding on it. Suddenly, the demon left Colleen and she realized how exhausted she was. Kouga realized simultaneously that his stomach pain had made him extremely weak. Kouga and Colleen both collapsed and dozed lightly. "I guess… it's a tie," Kagome said quietly.
Both were checked out, but nether were seriously injured. "Well Colleen, it was a tie. You know what that means," Kouga said as he grinned and handed Colleen the robe. Colleen went to go and change into it, but she kept her underclothes on for the sake of decency. Colleen went to go to her sleeping bag, but Kouga grabbed her and held her close. "Oh no, you're staying here," he said as he let Colleen have some room on what Kouga called a "bed." She grabbed a blanket to wrap around herself so Kouga couldn't get grabby, but he yanked it out of her hands. "HEY! Give that back!" Colleen was yelling quite loudly. "Nope," was all Kouga said as he forced her to sit on the "bed." He held her around the waist, which made her feel very embarrassed. "You're quite a feisty girl, but I like that in a girl," he sad when she tried to break free. He began to stroke her hair lie she was a cat., but somehow calmed her down. "There ya go, just relax," Kouga said soothingly as Colleen settled down and her eyes began to droop.
Once she fell asleep, Kouga gathered the rest of the wolves to let them see their new female leader. "This is our new female leader, Colleen. Go now, but you'll get a formal introduction with her when the sun rises." The wolves went to their "beds" and Kouga looked at Colleen's sleeping body. Man, she's quite attractive. She shivered and Kouga gave her the blanket he'd snatched from her before. He settled down beside her and fell asleep.
Colleen was the first to wake up the next morning and was anguish to get away from Kouga's bed. Unfortunately for Colleen, Kouga awoke fast afterwards and grabbed her waist. "Get off me Kouga!" Colleen struggled, but Kouga's grip was too strong. "Not a chance," he whispered in her ear. Ginta and Hakkaku grabbed his arms and tied him up, but it wasn't restraining his overly odd behaviour. "What's with him?" Ginta answered. "Today is his 17th birthday (this isn't my idea; I adapted it from one of demonlover's awesome story "A Simple Scent Can Change Everything", so it's actually demonlover's idea). Wolf demons, on their 17th birthday, have to seek their life mate. Over the years, our gang's numbers have been shrinking because a pureblooded female wolf demon is a hard thing to find. And since he's smelled your scent, he's gone nuts trying to make you his mate." "Why do these things happen to me?" Colleen let them untie Kouga, but not before she had a good head start.
Naraku's castle
"Hello my lord. You wished to see me?" Kagura had stepped into the main chamber where Naraku sat. "Yes. Go and see if that insolent wolf demon gang has been eliminated yet. If not, report back here immediately, understood?" Kagura nodded and set off. "I wonder what happened to those girls I sucked into this age?" Naraku spoke out aloud, and ten he exited the room.
Back at Kouga's cave
"HELP ME!" Kouga was still chasing Colleen, and nothing seemed to stop him. Colleen's friends only glared at her; though it wasn't her fault she had become a wolf demon. "Guys," she yelled as she ran in a circle around a tree," I think I have to mate with him to stop running." Dom and Rebecca realized that they valued their friend more than their love for Kouga. Colleen saw them nod and she stopped and let Kouga grab her arms. "Will you be my mate?" Kouga's voice seemed somewhat desperate. "Yes I will," Colleen said pretty reluctantly. "What happens when wolf demons get mated?" Ginta again answered her question. "Future Lady of our gang, I shall answer your question. First, the mating couple give each other marks that mean they're mated to the other. This mark will disappear if either dies. Second, they create the family crest. Third is the official mating ceremony under a full moon. The fourth and final one is the blood mixing. Then, when the couple feels ready, the couple will begin a family." Colleen looked at Kouga, who smiled, and she blushed.
"All right, everyone, we need to forage to get ready for the Mating ceremony. We need to leave the Couple alone," yelled Ginta as Colleen 's friends went to tell Inuyasha and his friends the news. "We're all alone," Kouga said seductively as he snaked his arm around Colleen's waist, making her blush. "I know, they left on purpose," she said as she looked into Kouga's eyes. Suddenly, he pushed her onto his bed and kissed her on the lips. Why does feel so good? Maybe because it's my first kiss or that I actually like Kouga that way. Kouga finally broke of the kiss and held Colleen against his chest in his arms. "I'm so glad you said yes," he whispered. Colleen sighed, wishing such a beautiful moment wouldn't ever end.
Inuyasha's Camp
"She's doing WHAT!" Inuyasha, when he was told the news was drinking tea, spat it over Kagome's face. Kagome glared at Inuyasha, who smiled sheepishly. "She's getting mated to Kouga, "repeated Rebecca. "I'm so happy for her," said Sango. "Sounds like that mating is going to work," said Miroku solemnly. "And that means Kouga is out of my hair, but I'm happy for her too," said Kagome. "I wanna say congrats," said Shippo as he ran towards the cave. "Wolf demon tradition forbids it and we must respect it," said Sango. "I guess I can congratulate them later," Shippo said cheerfully. "We're having dinner soon. Would you like to stay?" Rebecca and Dom nodded and sat by the fire, ready to eat.
Kouga's Cave
"Wolf tradition lets us have the entire cave for a week," Kouga said, still in his seductive tone, looking deeply into Colleen's soft blue eyes. "Don't try anything yet, we aren't mated yet," Colleen said in a joking voice. Kouga pulled Colleen close under the blanket covering his bed (note nothing will happen; note the previous sentence). "We have to give each other those marks, remember," said Kouga as he got close to Colleen's neck, waiting for permission to bite. Colleen nodded and Kouga's fangs bit into her flesh, though it only hurt for a few seconds. Colleen felt to make sure there wasn't any bleeding, but the wound had already become a part of her. Colleen saw there were two fang marks with Kouga's scent on the mark. Colleen did the same, then they both kissed each other. They both got settled and fell asleep in each other's arms.
Sunlight streamed into the cave, waking Kouga and Colleen from a peaceful sleep. "Good morning Kouga," Colleen, who was dressed in her sapphire nightgown and boxers and her kimono-like bathrobe, sat by Kouga as he woke up. "Mornin' Colleen," said Kouga as he sat up. It was a very warm day. "Man, I feel like swimming," Colleen said as she fanned herself with her hand. "Sure why not? Do you have a guy swimsuit in your bag?" Kouga asked Colleen as he looked over her shoulder as she dug in her backpack. She pulled out sapphire swimming trunks and a sapphire one-piece suit. "Here ya go Kouga," she said as she gave him the shorts. "Now close your eyes, I'm going to change," commanded Colleen. He did what he was told, though the temptation to peek was in his thoughts. "I'm done, you can open your eyes," Colleen said and Kouga opened his eyes. She looks great he thought and she did look good in the swimsuit. "All right Kouga, you can change now," Colleen said as she put her hands over closed eyes. Kouga quickly changed. He looked great without the armour, and his 6-pack was very defined. "Ready?" Colleen had helped Kouga put on sunscreen and she put some on and they walked to the deep pool were they were going to swim.
"Interesting." Kagura looked at the couple from above, but high enough so Kouga couldn't pick up her scent. "So that's why his gang isn't here. Kouga is getting mated to that pretty wolf demon, so the wolf demon mating tradition keeps his tribe away for a week. This will definitely please Naraku," she said as she floated off to Naraku's castle to report her findings.
That's Chapter 3! Whadda think? Review please!
