THE SILVER WOLF

BY PANTHERA1984

CHAPTER 5

Some hours later and well into the evening, Kagome found herself floating in the most beautiful swimming pool ever. The bath was build like the inside of a jewel would look like Kagome mussed Turning on her back in the water. The ceiling was made up out of al kinds of colored glass giving a rainbow effect. The water self was pleasantly nice warm and Kagome enjoyed it even more than the room, she could feel every ache and sour feeling leave her body.

Footsteps and a whiff of scent told Kagome Kikyo had entered the room and without so much as looking in her direction Kagome knew that she had placed herself on the towel near the rim, where Kagome had left it. "Do you like the room?" Kikyo asked and Kagome finally did turn around to face her not showing any shock at her presence.

With a few strokes she swam to the rim and placed her arms on the ledge keeping her self from drifting away. Looking around the room once more before answering Kagome placed her head on her arms her eyes on Kikyo. The posture was wolf like and made Kikyo fidget before she caught her self. Kagome didn't notice do.

"I think the room is wonderful, I never saw something with this kind of beauty before." Her voice told Kikyo that the younger girl was in complete awe. A small sarcastic smile flew over her lips but it was so fast even the wolf would have had problems capturing its image. "Well beauty isn't everything." Kikyo said probing Kagome into throwing her a wondering glance.

"You don't think it's beautiful?" Kagome asked. Kikyo grimaced. "O its beautiful al right but let me tell you that the heat source used to warm this water is worked by slaves that once they entered never see the daylight again." At Kagome's shocked face Kikyo leaned back her legs outstretched before her elbows used as support. "Did I spoil your pleasure?"

Kagome made a face and started climbing out of the pool. "My pleasure isn't worth all this suffering." But she was suddenly pushed back into the water by Kikyo and Kagome resumed her previous posture. Kikyo with one hand lifted Kagome hair up and coiled it in a bun atop of her head.

"Don't worry little one, that was a long time ago the man working now are well paid and most of them want to work down there now because of that. Nor are they locked up down there. I just wanted to make clear that beauty isn't everything sometimes it's just a cover for something nasty." Kikyo re-treaded back on the towel again and Kagome climbed out of the pool sitting down next to her.

Kikyo sighed. "To bad. I had the perfect man all planned out for you. He is a bit old but he would have lavished you under expensive gifts and within a few years you would have been a rich woman, if not one of the richest. You could have done what you wanted to. But alas Sesshô maru wrote you are already promised to someone and an important man at that." She said to a lazy Kagome. Shifting a bit she seated herself behind Kagome and picked up a small towel and carefully started dapping away each droplet of water.

Feeling sleepy and completely relaxed- a whole new experience to someone who rarely ever got to let her guard down- Kagome enjoyed the care of Kikyo and when the older woman placed the towel aside and reached for a comb, Kagome was soon almost purring of pleasure. Kikyo had a soft hand ad she careful comb the long dark tresses until they were dry. She braided the long locks and laid the coil of hair over Kagome's right shoulder letting it dangle over her breast.

Kikyo stood up and stretched. "Let's go I have cloths laid ready for you in my room, tonight you will be taught in table manners- at Kagome's questioned stare she explained- Sesshô maru has asked me to prepare you for your wedding." Kikyo turned and headed for the exit, Kagome followed suit.

In Kikyo's room Kagome first was overwhelmed by the room itself. It was huge and dominated by a big four poster bed with silk draping used as curtains. Kikyo went to the bed and picked what Kagome assumed were her cloths up. She reached out to take them over from Kikyo but the woman shoed her hands away and started clothing Kagome her self.

"You know little one- Kikyo spoke with a soft seductive voice while she kept on dressing Kagome in rare silks- I could love you. I can show you pleasure and you will not be harmed by it for I'm not equipped for taking away your valuable virginity. Let me love and I promise you it will be a heavenly experience. Think about it little one." Kikyo laced the last string in place and stepped back taking Kagome's hand and bringing her before a large silver mirror.

Placing the girl before it she placed her self behind her and wrapped her arms around Kagome's torso. Kagome looked at the image in the mirror and wondered at it. She only listened to Kikyo's offer but she paid more attention to the sound of her voice than the question. She sounded sad.

Kikyo re-treaded and went to stand beside Kagome. "Well what do you think of yourself for I don't think I'm wrong when I say you have never seen you self before, not like this." Kagome took a step closer to the mirror and stretch her arm out how could the girl standing before her be her. "Naraku lied. He said I'm ugly but he lied." Kagome's voice was so soft Kikyo had a hard time understanding it but when she understood it her face became cold.

"That pimp. They always tell there girl there not pretty enough that way they lose there lack of self conscience and they're easier to handle. The more I hear about your uncle the less i like him. But enough for now let's not spoil our appetite." She clapped in her hands and Kagome turned away from the mirror her trance broken.

Together they walked to a room not for from Kikyo's bedroom. A meal was already placed on a low table. Sitting on opposite sides on thick cushions Kagome eyed the grandeur before her. Her nose told her the best of the best was placed before her and her mouth started to water. Almost unable to contain her self Kagome reached out to grab a loaf of bread but was stopped by something that resembled a canon ball. Looking down she noticed Shippô latched to her abdomen. His little head buried in the folds of her clothing, she smiled when she noticed the young boy had a fierce cleaning him self and was like her wearing new cloths.

After a fierce hug Shippô looked up and his emerald green eyes shone like stars giving Kagome a warm feeling inside her. "Kagome I'm saying goodnight now and did you know the ladies say I can help you with dressing and all kinds of things, isn't that great I'll be the best help ever and... Kagome bended down and hugged Shippô back stopping his chattering. She kissed him on the forehead and then set him before her so she could look at him. "Shippô I would be most honored if you help me but you forget that you'll be going home soon." She stroke his hair and her face was serious when she explained to him. At the end Shippô looked sulky but he seemed to have accepted her explanation. Leaded away by the same girl that had been chasing Rin earlier he left the room and Kagome and Kikyo finally began there dinner.

Savoring every bite Kagome dined slowly mimicking Kikyo's every movement, while the older woman also ate slowly to show her how it was done. It was late into the night when they were done and Kikyo took Kagome into the garden for a late night stroll pointing out this or that plant. The two women discussed about mostly Kagome's coming wedding. Kikyo at word most telling her what was expected and how she should act.

By a fountain Kikyo stopped and set on the rim pouring whine from a silver can. Giving Kagome a glass a noise startled them and shadows came from each side leaving them no way out. Kagome dropped her glass and Kikyo let the can slip from her fingers then the shadows entered the line of torches and there clothing and coloring became clear, Kikyo hissed. "What are you doing here Bassilius, there is nothing here for you." While her posture was stern and cold her voice trembled and Kagome unnoticed slipped back into the shadows of the bushes keeping her eyes on all.

"Nothing here, Kikyo? I wouldn't say that. You're hiding evidence whore and I want it, now." He roared the last word and pulled out a sharp sword slashing it in Kikyo's direction. If she hadn't leaped back the movement would have cut her clean, now it merely scratched her.

Kagome had seen enough. In the darkness she changed into her wolf form and where had stood a woman now a silver wolf emerged and she lunged at Bassilius Aiming for his legs. When the other men noticed they had not only watch Kikyo but a wolf as while some tried to flee but the wolf took care of them easily. Meanwhile Kikyo had found a hoe and was fiercely slashing it through the air, that she didn't hit anything didn't seem to bother her.

Both women caused chaos and soon servants and Kikyo's own guard came running into the garden. Bassilius sheeted his sword and gave Kikyo a mock salute and he jumped over the wall. Kikyo's cloths were a bloody mess but she kept up hr fight and tried to peruse Bassilius, swinging her hoe while she went. Kagome who followed everything left a solder she had just pulled down laying and went after Bassilius also. Easily running past Kikyo and taking the wall in one gracious leap.

At the other end she stopped to look where Bassilius was and her keen eyes saw a bend of hors riders take of in the direction of the Campagnia. Letting out a yap of pleasure at this hunt she went into a smooth run that she would be able to use for many hours.

The wolf enjoyed this freedom more than anything after years she was finally able to run free. Even more so now that she could hunt and hunt she did. First she made them believe they left her behind, and then she kept them in her eyesight. While she followed them she took in her surroundings. Rome was far behind her and every step she took brought her into wilderness.

Thrills of pleasure run down her spine when she sniffed the scents of wild animals. Deer's, foxes and wild cats. Mentally shaking her head Kagome forced her thoughts back on her task, to follow Bassilius. After a while Bassilius took of into an old road over grown with plants and grasses, some so high that Kagome disappeared in them completely.

The road let to a ruin of what once would have been a villa. There Kagome saw more en sitting around fires, eating or playing a game. Slowing down to a slow step Kagome crawled as close as she dared and took in the sight. Her ears twitched while she tried to pick up a conversation but she was a bit to far for that.

Annoyed the silver wolf left her post and tried getting closer at some point she heard two men talking and she stopped. Lifting her head a bit higher she twisted her ears in the direction of the men. "You go to the ghost. I took him on my horse and I aint gonna take care of him any longer so you can do it. Don't understand what Bassilius wants with that Inu yasha any ways. That man is closer to death than a corps."

"Be reasonable, you know that we need him as proof so get your lazy butt from that rock and bring him dinner."

Man number one kept mumbling but brought a plate of scraps to a dark part of the villa anyway. Kagome followed him in the shadows and was surprised to se that it truly was Inu yasha sitting there on a stone. His ankles and wrist bound his head was covered by a his hood but his whole body sent out defeat.

Kagome waited for the man to leave before approaching Inu yasha. At close range she let out a whimper to call his attention but all she got was a scowl ad a wave of his hand telling her to get lost. Kagome let out another whimper and came closer taking his robe between her teeth and pulling on it.

This time Inu yasha truly looked up and was surprised to see that it was some stray dog trying to gain his attention but a wolf and a big one at that. "What is it Lupa, come to take my live? I pray that you take it swiftly." Inu yasha bend his head down to present his neck to her. The wolf let out a very human sighed and pulled his robes again then let go walked a bit into the direction she knew the horses where being kept then walked back and looked at Inu yasha questionly. The white haired man seemed to have caught on.

"You want me to follow Lupa but for what purpose I'm at deaths door taking my live would be like losing a burden and they can't use my dead body." Inu yasha pointed at the laughing and joking man around a brightly lit fire. "Bassilius want to use me as evidence if I'm dead his plans while be in ruins." Kagome let out a fierce yap and pulled his robes forcefully then bit his ropes so he could move. Again she took of into the direction of the horses.

Letting out a sigh Inu yasha followed the big wolf all the while trying to convince her to kill him. At the horses Kagome nudge him towards them making clear she wanted him to climb on. "Okay Lupa your the strangest wolf I've ever met even stranger is that I'm actually trying to converse with you, which must be a sign that I have lost my sanity but I will do as you ask just don't rip my robes apart." And Inu yasha climbed on the horse. He lost the silver wolf in the darkness but when he gave it all he got he could here a faint rustle of branches and leaves.

Next moment chaos irrupted and horsed where running all kinds of directions while a silver wolf howled and snatched at there legs. Inu yasha's horse took of at a neck breaking sped running for the woods Kagome at its heels. The men at the alert now started shouting and soon all of them had started chasing the horses while others went to fetch there weapons. At the middle Bassilius was giving orders leading everything in the right direction.

Kagome made a couple of fake attacks at the horse Inu yasha was riding leading it in the right direction. Now that she had gotten Inu yasha away Kagome started to worry. Bassilius would comb the whole region out and she would need to return to Kikyo's house soon for morning was coming.

Somewhere while running the horse let out a loud scream and it fell to the ground it two front legs crumbled, clearly broken. Kagome helped Inu yasha away from the horse and then went back to the animal sinking her teeth in the neck breaking it and ending its live at the same time.

Inu yasha had placed him self against the trunk of a tree and was panting. The ride had taken away most of his energy and now he felt like he was closer to death then ever before. Kagome threw him a look making sure he was okay before she took of. She needed to find a place for him and fast her hearing was telling her Bassilius had caught onto there trail.

Disappearing between the greens Kagome used he nose to guide her to a safety place. A few meters away from Inu yasha she found the perfect place. Once it had been a glass factory then it had been used as a nest by wolfs and foxes now it stood empty and it suited her purpose perfect.

It was a place so overgrown by trees and greens that Bassilius would never see it not even if he looked closely. Backtracking to Inu yasha she saw that he was still sitting against the tree with is eyes closed, she approached him and Inu yasha opened his golden eyes.

"So you came Back Lupa, I guess you want me to follow you again, ne?" Inu yasha struggled to stand but finally had to settle for a bowed position while his upper body rested on Kagome's back. Carefully she guided him taking the easiest way to the glass plant. There she let him through a low opening into a cave.

The short walk had completely drained Inu yasha and he sunk to the ground, closing his eyes. He was a sleep within a heart bead. Kagome watched him for a short time, when she was fairly curtain that he would live she took of.

Her run back to Rome was at a neck breaking speed but still her heart was telling her she wouldn't make it to Kikyo's home not without having to walk a while naked. So she made a calculation, she had to take the risk. If she wanted to help Inu yasha she needed to live. Kagome set of to Naraku's home.

## Kouga stood on a rock over looking a small part of the valley. He and his pack where at a hunt one of the last they would be able to have before they would reach Rome ad they would have to abide to a set of rules.

So now the big grey stood watching some deer's. Behind him he could feel the impatience of his pack members. Lifting his massive head he took in a deep sniff of air making sure there weren't any other hunters around.

When his nose told him everything was fine let out a couple of yaps telling them what to do soon wolfs could be seen tracking there prey. At the moment Kouga let out a howl that was followed by another and another until each member had added his or her say to the tale, the hunt had begun.
