Torn Between Two Beauties
Prologue
Kouga had been running through the forest, as he usually did on clear nights such as this, when a wonderful scent reached his nose, causing him to stop. Slowly, he crept toward the area where this intoxicating scent was strongest. There, bathing in the hot springs was what, at first glance, appeared to be a celestial being. But, as the Wolf Prince drew ever closer, it became clear that this young maiden was, in fact, a vixen. Her long, silky black tresses cascading down her back, reached to about her waist, with a long flowing tail and furry ears to match.
The young Prince, having been mesmerized by this young woman's beauty, and was thus not thinking clearly, took a step closer toward her. By the time Kouga realized what he was doing it was too late, his foot had come crashing down on a twig. Only one word passed through his mind, as the young maiden turned around, her tail wrapped securely around her waist, Damn.
Kouga remained frozen to the spot as the vixen's soft emerald eyes passed over the area in which he was standing. The wolf hoped, no prayed that she would not see him. It wasn't as though he was afraid, but his instincts told him she was dangerous, and they have yet to fail him.
Her eyes remained transfixed upon the exact spot Kouga was standing, and he could've sworn she was looking right at him. He watched her closely, so closely that to him, nothing else mattered. In fact, he didn't even notice the tiny brownball of furflying right at the girl, nor did it register in his mind what he was saying.
"Aleissa!" Called Shippo, "Kagome sent me to get you, she says the food is ready."
Aleissa looked down at the tiny kit in her arms, smiling softly, "Okay, tell her I'm just finishing up, and I'll be there in a bit."
"'Kay," he said, jumping to the shore and running back to the campsite.
Kouga was still rooted to the spot as Aleissa dressed and walked off in the direction Shippo had run just moments earlier. Once she was out of earshot, he felt it safe to move and blinked. Shippo, and his conversation with the young maiden, just reaching his ears.
His eyes widened a fraction, as a fanged grin appeared on his face, "Kagome's near." And he sped off toward her camp.
A/N: Fairly short, I know. But I promise, the actual chapters will be much longer. But, I will not continue posting this fic unless I get at least 5 reviews, that's all I'm asking. I know there are many out there who, and I'm guilty of this too, read a fic and not write out a review for it. But I ask that if you wish for me to continue posting this fic, then take 2 minutes to write a little review. Flames are welcome, but please don't say, "Your story sucks." and leave it at that, tell me what's wrong so that I might be able to fix it. Thanks for reading.
