A/N: Hey people! I hope this is fast enough for you! Well Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Me do not own Inu…. or Kouga but any decedents of his that are up for grabs will be:)
Kouga threaded through – well he more like bashed through the island's jungle, looking for Ayame. It was starting to get dark and the light was rapidly retreating. With every minute more light was lost and Kouga couldn't even pick up a trace of her scent. He was getting very frustrated and worried even. 'Where is she? I should have at least picked up her scent. Damn it! I have to find her soon or it's gonna be too dark to find our way back…that if there is going to be an our.'
Rubbing his forehead worriedly he tried sniffing the air once more. Even if it was for just a second Kouga caught Ayame's scent and raced off in her direction.
With Ayame
"Wow this is just what I needed. A nice relaxing afternoon just making necklaces with flowers and watching the clouds go by." Ayame mused. She had stumbled upon a grove of flowers and a small pool of water nearby that formed into a stream a little ways off.
Flashback
'Where am I? Oh no! I'm lost! Oh man Kouga's gonna kill me. If he finds me! Oh no oh no oh no! Okay calm. We're okay, we're not lost, just a little misguided. Yeah that's it! Misguided. Now if I can just find a path of some sort…' "Wow. It's beautiful!" Ayame managed to get in her awe of the beauty that was surrounding her.
It was lush green with wildflowers blooming with every color. Near a small lake flowers the color of the moon bordered the world of land and water. The water itself was a crystal blue, glistening when the sun's rays delicately touched its softly moving surface. There were rocks, plants and a few golden and silver fish, but that's not what had caught her attention. It was the way the water seemed to reflect the beauty of the place around it, making everything glisten with serenity.
"This is what I call a haven." Ayame said as she felt herself being filled with a calming and wonderful feeling of peace and happiness. With these new feelings she laid herself in the middle of the grove and picked a nearby flower. I was dark blue on the inside and as the petals spread out, the color turned lighter until it was the color of the lake itself.
"This is almost too beautiful to be real. If it is a dream, I hope I don't wake up for a long time." With these words she slowly drifted to sleep. Her hand falling beside her with the flower rolling to the ground.
End Flashback
"I still can't believe I found this place. I don't know how to go back, but I'm not gonna worry about that now." Ayame said while yawning. The sky was almost dark, and the little light was reflecting on the now coal black lake. Just about everything was in shadows. Even though she had taken a nap before, she was still tired, the events of the days before had drained her and until now, she hadn't had any time to rest.
Resting her head on her hands she laid on her back and fell into a peaceful sleep.
With Kouga
Running as fast as he could Kouga followed Ayame's scent. He was sent swerving back and forth and sometimes even in circles. 'What the hell is she doing!' He wondered as he continued to follow the trail. He finally came to a stop when he heard water sloshing against the sides of rocks and the light snore of a certain female wolf demon.
Sighing in relief Kouga walked over to the sleeping girl. The scene around had a beautiful and calming look, which quickly changed once beyond the border of trees that surrounded the area.
Lightly shaking her as he knelt by her, he whispered her name trying to wake her but trying to be quiet at the same time. "Ayame, come on it's time to wake up. We only have a little light left. Ayame, Ayame."
Moaning she turned over on her side facing Kouga. Smelling the familiar scent she latched onto his legs toppling him over backwards as the result. 'Hmmm, something smells good, wonder what it is. Maybe if I get closer.' With those thoughts Ayame snuggled closer into Kouga's legs efficiently trapping him and causing him unwanted feelings, some of which affected other parts of his body.
"Crap. Gotta wake her up now! Before something bad happens." Gulping Kouga pushed up with his arms finding that her arms easily adjusted their position on his legs to his knees, but wouldn't let go. At least now being able to get close to Ayame again Kouga could wake her up.
Getting close to her ear he yelled "Hey Ayame! Get your ass UP!" A particularly loud snore and her grabbing him around the waist was the only reaction her got from her. Feeling frustrated and getting a bit edgy that it was getting to be really dark and he didn't exactly know the way back, Kuga tried again but with a different tactic. 'Since yelling and whispering won't work how about…pleasantness?'
Kouga once again leaned next to her ear, which was getting a little difficult seeing as she now had her arms around his waist. Kouga started to whisper huskily into her ear, "Ayame" he whispered while nipping her ear. "You need to wake up now. You don't want me to go away now do you?" In her sleepy and now half awake state Ayame shook her head slightly liking the new feeling that spread through her like wild fire. "Good, now you know what you have to do to get me to stay?" He asked lightly nipping and licking her ear.
Once again she shook her head. "Well," he just about purred, " you need to…WAKE UP!" He yelled the last part, fully waking Ayame up and causing her to jump in the air a foot.
Yelping as she hit the ground hard, she looked up confused as to why and where she was. "Kouga?" She asked rubbing her butt which took much of the impact. "Yeah?" He asked impatiently, wanting her to hurry up. It was dark out now and the moon was only a sliver. "Why is it so dark out?" She asked while Kouga helped her to her feet. Sighing (a/n: he seems to do a lot of that doesn't he?) he answered her question, keeping his eyes closed and arms crossed. "Well, it's dark out because that's what happens when the sun goes down. It's dark out because you slept through the day. It's dark out because I spent most of the day looking for you while you slept uncaring here! That's why it's dark out!"
"Geez, didn't know I was such a burden." Ayame said while turning from him slightly, a hurt look on her face. Even though Kouga couldn't see her facial features very well he could still hear the defeat in her voice. "Look, I didn't mean to yell" Ayame scoffed. "I just was a little worried about where you were and how we're gonna get back."
"You were worried about me?" She asked fully turning to face him with a slight blush on her cheeks. 'He was worried? Does that mean he actually cares about me?' Now blushing Kouga replied, "Yeah, I guess, I mean, Ayame I didn't know where you were and couldn't find anywhere, then when I finally pick up your scent your going in circles and zigzagging all over the place. I thought something was after you. Then I found you sleeping here." He caressed her face lightly, his face moving closer to hers slightly. "Just promise me you won't go off again with out telling anyone got it?" Moving closer Ayame replied, "Yeah, I got it." And with that Kouga swooped down and captured Ayame's lips in a passionate kiss. Ayame felt her whole body heat up as his lips moved against hers as if in a dance.
When they broke apart for air the moon's light shone upon them, making their eyes glitter. The stared into each other's eyes, in a world of their own, where nothing can enter, nothing can come between them. In a world, that Ayame hoped would last forever.
If only she knew how short forever could be.
