(AN: (eating shrimp fried rice) this story is going to be great! I have it all planned out. In here (taps at forehead with chopsticks.)

Chapter 2

Iyama ran through the through the forest, hoping that Kouga hadn't noticed that she had left. She still couldn't believe that she had met a wolf demon. Heck, she still couldn't get over the fact that she had been falling from the sky a few moments ago! She stopped in her tracks when she saw Kouga standing a few feet ahead of her. She froze.

'How did he…?' she thought, but was stopped abruptly when he started advancing forward. Each step he took forward, she took a step back. That is, until she felt the rough bark of a tree trunk against her back. Kouga saw this to his advantage, and before she knew it she was in Kouga's arms as he raced off.

"Let go of me!" she exclaimed, wrestling to get out of his arms.

"Why should I? You have no place to go." He replied gazing into her eyes.

He had made a point. She turned her brown orbs away from his and glanced at the tree that whizzed past them. He smirked, again. Something about this human was different. Something about her scent made him curious about whether she was really human at all.

Iyama sat in the far corner of the cave making sure she kept an eye on a certain wolf demon. He was sitting in the center working on the fire. Two wolves lay beside him as he toiled. She stared at him and admired his seriousness, and she smiled when she saw his ears constantly twitching. When he spotted her in the corner of his eye, she turned her head towards the wall.

"Woman, what is your name?" he asked getting up, the fire now burning.

"Iyama." She mumbled.

"Such a lovely name." She turned her attention back towards him. "Now tell me, do you cook?"

She gave him a blank stare. She didn't know whether to answer the question. However, hearing the rumbling stomachs of his wolves made her mind up for her. She nodded, her long hair bobbing up and down. Kouga watched in wonder as Iyama dug in her pocket and pulled out a huge burlap sack. She opened the bag and the cave (or whatever) was filled with delicious aroma.

Kouga and his wolves hoisted their nostrils up and hungrily drank in its pleasant smell. Before Iyama knew that her sack was gone, Kouga, along with his companions (except her), were scoffing down the provisions with greed. A vain popped on her forehead as she glared at them as they gobbled down the food. She stomped towards them and was about to snatch the bagwhen the three of them growled at her. She gave a shriek and jumped back into her little corner.

After the food was gruesomely devoured, may it rest in peace, they all sat around the fire. Staring into the bright ball of fire, Iyama's expression saddened as she remembered her family. Kouga saw this with curious eyes.

"Why the long face, beautiful?" he asked, his voice held a bit of mockery in it.

She snapped out of her reverie and met his gaze.

"Huh?"

"Why so depressed?"

She turned her eyes back at the fire.

"I was thinking about my family." She replied blankly.

He grunted.

Silence clung to the air. However, it…um, soon ended. Iyama sat mesmerized at the yellow flames until she felt a hand slip around her waist. Her eye twitched.

"Leave me alone you pervert!" she roared at the now unconscious body on the ground. "You keep your hands off me!"

AN: Please review. I know this isn't the best I've done, believe me. I'll try to make it better. I had it all planned out but it seems to be slipping away. VVU
