Morning came quicker then Kagome wanted it to. The shining sun smiled down menacingly at her through the cracks in the rock of Kouga's cave. Snuggling closer into the warmth beside her, she sighed, looking up at the cave well that softly dripped down on its occupants.

Slowly, she began to notice, the slow, warm, wet movement on her shoulder, not going down, but up. Then she noticed she was naked

Growling came harshly behind her in her ear, ever so softly, almost caressing her ear as it ran down her spine, making goosebumps pop up all over her slender arms. She felt herself sliding into the welcoming heat behind her until it enveloped her, as she felt two strong arms wrap themselves around her waist, as she went to get up off of the soft mat of furs, straw, grasses and feathers.

"Kouga, let me go. I have to go wash up and get dressed," Kagome mumbled, indicating her clothing, or rather, lack of, in this case.

"No, you don't have to do anything..." Kouga mumbled, scooting closer to Kagome, burying his nose into her long, soft ebony hair.

He slowly inhaled the scent that was all Kagome's. God she was beautiful. Despite how he would be lying to himself, he still wanted to fantasize about them being together forever. He'd never be that lucky, Kagome'd never look at him as she did InuYasha...

Suddenly, a loud gurgling sound echoed through the cave. Chuckling, Kouga stood, and put on his chest plate.

"Heh. I'm going to go get us breakfast. Tsuuki (that's my wolf's name irl!), watch Kagome while I'm out."

The soft silvery-blue white wolf padded in silently, ears back slightly, and ran straight for Kagome's lap. Giggling, Kagome began to rub the wolf behind her fluffy ears, which perked up at the sudden sound the mistress made.

Kagome watched as the wolf prince got up and left her alone with majestic blue wolf, whom now occupied her lap.

Looking over his shoulder, Kouga called out, "I'll have Chikara and Shiori come in and get you dressed."

Looking down at her naked form, she blushed, and attempted to hide herself somewhat with the blanket at her waist.

"Ohayo, Kigome hime," greeted a young female wolf, about 17 years old, with golden hair down to her waist in a high ponytail, her aqua blue eyes glistening with pure contentment. "My name is Chikara. (Chii-car-ra)"

She was dressed in a short light tan fur wrap and a under wrap over her chest (old age bras, must have sucked in hot weather, and since this is during the hot season...) showing off her well toned arm, leg and stomach muscles. " I am a female warrior."

Another girl poked her head inside the room. "Gomen, Chikara. My mate wouldn't let me go. Yume will be joining us shortly in her room."

Nodding the elder wolf reached out to her. "Come Kigome, lets get you some cloths."

Looking at the hand before her, she took it, and was gracefully lifted from her place upon the ground.

Following the two beautiful wolfenesses, the wolf beside her, she entered a dimly lit room where a small wolf sat on a mat in front of a low table, her back to the intruders.

Clearing her throat, Chikara waited for the small, short black haired wolf youkai before her to respond, "Yume..."

Turning around too quickly, showing off the large stomach protruding from between her breasts and her hips, she lost her balance, waving her arms around in a circular motion, she yelled "AYAAAAAAAA!" before falling straight back onto the bed behind her, legs sprawled out in front of her like a child.

Rubbing her back, she took the arm offered to her and unsteadily stood back up.

Smiling, Kagome watched the woman teetering over, and engulf her in a hug.

"KAGOME-CHAN!" the girl exclaimed lovingly, "It's been so long! Where have you been?"

Shrugging, Kagome replied, "All over the place, really."

Ok, first off, when you think of Chikara, think older sister. She's about 3 years older then Kouga. Also remember the fact she's a princess of another wolf tribe, and is Kouga's brother, Kuro's mate. Also, she has a heavy accent, when thinking of the accent, think someone Russian is speaking. Heavy, deep, female voice. I realize I misspelled Kagome's name twice, that was to let everyone understand how Chikara pronounces her a's as i's.

Shiori is mated to a male with silver hair and green eyes, who's a wolf-inu named Kibou, who's mother left him with his father, and now lives with Kouga. There will be some anger between him and InuYasha and Kouga later on.

And Finally, YUME! This is NOT Yume from the future, this is her ancestor. Yes I realize Yume In the future is human, but she does have some youkai tributes, ie: her intelligence. She is mated to a male wolf named Ichigo.

Some Japanese links:

Chikara: means strength and power. Figured it was perfect for a female wolf warrior.

Kibou: means hope. You'll find out later why hope ties into his character.

Ichigo: means strawberry. He's a little fruity, as you all shall soon find out.

Thanks for reading. Review and I'll love ya forever!
