Chapter 2: The Crying Earth and a whispered promise
The well known wolf prince had been watching the heartbreaking scene while standing behind a large tree nearby. He watched as the beautiful girl lay in the mud, created by the sudden down-pour of rain.
She lay in her own sorrow, pouring her heart out for that mutt...Inuyasha. 'Inuyasha...I'll slice your ugly head right off your shoulders for this!' He thought to himself, feeling a tear mixed with the icy rain stream down his elegant face.
'How could you do this to her!' He thought in pure rage, punching the tree in front of him with his fists. He turned his attention back to the broken girl in front of him and noticed her trying to get to her feet.
He also noticed the way her legs began to shake and without thinking, he instinctively ran forward, catching her now limp form, just in time before she collided with the hard ground.
"She's unconcious..." he said to himself in a sad tone while holding the sleeping girl. He gently lifted the girl into his arms and started walking in the direction of his cave and wolf pack, carrying the girl bridal style.
As he carried her through the forest, he looked down to gaze at her once bright face while he walked. She was still indeed beautiful, but in a tragic way. Her face was now pale with tear streaks running down it from her now closed eyes, to her chin. And her lips were now drained of their once ruby red.
'A fallen angel...' he thought to himself in agony as he stared at her sleeping face. He suddenly smiled at her revealing his pearly white fangs. "Don't worry Kagome...I promise that I will always protect and and love you, and unlike that filthy half-breed Inuyasha, I keep my word."
He suddenly felt her shiver as a result of being in the icy rain and instinctively, pulled her closer to his chest, offering her cold, wet, body warmth.
After pulling her closer to his firm chest, while still walking towards his destination, he noticed something that truely shocked him. As he carried the girl in his arms through the forest, every flower, tree, and plant that they walked byseemed to wilt and lose color.
That was the cause of the sudden storm while he had been hunting in the forest? The earth was crying for Kagome? Sharing her pain the only way it knew how. He also, let another tear escape one of his icy blue eyes at his sudden realization.
He walked for a few hours in silence, carrying the still sleeping girl in his arms, before finally reaching his home. As he slowly walked towards his cave, he was greeted by a familiar yell.
"Kouga! Your back!" Yelled a happy Ginta as he ran up to Kouga. "Be quiet Ginta! You'll wake Kagome!" said Kouga in warning. "Hey, what's wrong with sister Kagome? Is she...dead?" asked Ginta all teary-eyed.
"Ginta, I just said that if you don't keep your mouth shut, you'll wake her up" Kouga replied rolling his blue eyes. "She's just unconcious...now go in the cave and make a suitable bed for her. Get Hakakku to help you. Now hurry up! We don't have all day!" Barked Kouga.
With that, Ginta ran as fast as his feet could carry him towards the cave. Running into the cave, he began to frantically pick up firs scatterd around in the cave and pile them in a corner.
"Hakakku! Get your lazy butt up and help me!" Yelled Ginta in irritation. "Wha?...what's going on?...oh Ginta...it's just you. You know I was-" Hakakku was cut short when Ginta shot him a glare.
"It doesn't matter! Now get up and help me! It's Kouga's order that we prepare a suitable bed for sister Kagome." "What? Sister Kagome is here?" asked Hakakku in wonder as he stopped his stretching.
"Yes, now help me and ask questions later" replied Ginta, still gathering furs.
What the hell is taking those two so long?...' Kouga thought beginning to get irritated. 'At least it's stopped raining...'
He was pulled out of his thoughts when Kagome began to stir in his arms. He stroked her raven hair gently with one hand and held her in his other arm, attempting to soothe her. "It's okay Kagome, your safe" He said gently and was pleased when her stirring ceased.
Seconds later, Ginta came running out of the cave in Kouga's direction with Hakakku right on his tail. "The bed is ready Kouga" said Ginta quietly, as not to wake his sleeping sister, so he called her.
"It's about time..." said Kouga irritably walking towards the cave. He stood in front of the cave for a moment before turning back to look at his two loyal comrads.
"Keep an eye on the pack tonight and don't even think of coming into this cave tonight...got it?" Said Kouga sternly with an adorable smirk on his face.
Ginta and Hakakku looked at each other knowingly, turned to their wolf leader and nodded in submission. Kouga then turned back to the cave and walked in slowly, leaving the two grinning wolves behind him.
Walking into the cave looking around, he quickly spotted the bed of furs. Slowly walking up to it, he placed Kagome down on the silk-like furs gently.
'Damn, she's freezing!' he thought, suddenly more frightened for her health. He then thought of the only thing that he knew he could do.
With a blush on his face, he slowly began removing her clothes, starting with her shoes and socks. Tossing the items to the side, he then went to her shirt. He froze suddenly, worried what her reaction would be once she awoke.
'Nonsense...Kagome will understand. This is for health reasons after all...' He thought to himself. Gently pulling off her shirt as to not wake her, he tossed the wet article to the side. He caught himself staring at her body hungrily and shook himself out of his hentai thoughts, reminding himself of her health.
He then moved his strong hands to her short school uniform skirt and slowly pulled it off, also tossing it to the side along with the other wet articles of clothing.
He gazed down upon her now nearly naked body. She was so beautiful and he couldn't help but want her. 'This will have to wait until she has fully regained health and is comepletly over that mutt...' He thought smiling down at his woman.
He decided it best to leave her last two strange articles of clothing on, which would happen to be her bra and panties.
He then began taking off his wet furs and armor quickly, revealing all of his well toned body. He tossed his also wet clothing onto Kagome's.((A/N: Man am I drooling right now! Lol.))
He then slowly crawled into the warm bed of furs with Kagome, wrapping his musculine arms around her petite waist and pulling her back closer to his chest. He removed one of his arms from around her waist to pull one, large fur over the two of them. And as quickly as he had removed his arm from around her waist, he put it back, and yet again tried to pull her even closer to him.
He let out a low growl in his satisfaction. He finally had his woman that he dearly loved so much in his bed and in his arms.
He nuzzled his face into her soft, raven hair and breathed in her scent. He could smell pain and sorrow but knew that he could and would remove it.
"I promise Kagome, that I will always love and protect you...if you will only allow me" He said in a promised whisper before drifting off into a content sleep.
Well that's it for chapter 2! I hope that you liked it! So this will be a Kouga/Kagome fiction...for now. :Laughs evilly: It will most likely stay that way but who knows? There are so many possibilities when writing a fan fiction. Well, please R&R. Remember constructive critisism is always welcome!
Love, Miakoda
