Four years later
The wind blew strands of Kougas black hair across his face. Kouga scanned the water below him. He sat in the same place that Ayame and he sat during their honeymoon. Four years ago, today they had been married. Then he left her and every time he went back to try to see her she was never there. It hurt so much, to love her, to need her. He missed her, he missed everything all the arguments all the fights, and all the good times they had together. Letting out a sigh he stared at the ayame flower at his feet. The scent reminded him of her. Damn it I will not cry. I cannot cry. I should have believed her. Instead, I let my anger get the best of me every time. Damn, now I am crying. Silent tears drifted down his cheek dropping soundless on the stones. His shoulders shook with silent sobs.
Putting a hand over his mouth Kouga looked out at the water. His eyes misted slightly as he remembered Ayame laughing when she jumped into the water pulling him in after her. The sweet taste of her kiss as they lay on the warm sand drying off. Kouga's tears dried up and determination formed his face. I will get her back. I will not let her go. Getting up Kouga headed back to the Black Wolves but this time, with a smirk.
The Black Wolves
"Where are you from boy?" Ginta asked softly as he kneeled in front of a young wolf demon boy.
"Is he hurt Mist?" Kiro asked as he stared at the boy in confusion.
"For heavens sake you guys. He's lost and scared and having you two brutes after him is making matters worse." Mist rebuked the two as she gently handed the boy a cup of water.
"Don't get mad at us Mist we're only trying to help." Kiro argued. "Ivy stop pulling his tail. Can't you see he doesn't like that?" Kiro ordered a three-year-old wolf demon girl.
"Kiro watch the tone of your voice when you're addressing our daughter." Mist said as she scooped up their blond blue-eyed daughter into her arms and walked away into the dens.
"Can you at least tell us your name boy?" Ginta asked again.
"Kovu." He said softly wrapping his arms around his legs.
"Kiro isn't that…" Ginta began with surprise as he looked at Kiro.
"I don't know Ginta. Let us not jump to conclusion. Hakaku would have said something. He would have told us." Kiro said a similar look of shock on his face.
"What is going on here?" Kouga asked from behind the two.
Jumping up in shock the two said in unison "Nothing!"
"Who is this?" Kouga asked his eyebrow rose in question as he looked at the black haired boy.
The boy solemnly raised his head and looked at Kouga. Kouga took a double take as he noticed the boys green emerald eyes. A stab of pain went through him as he remembered who else had eyes as lovely as those did. I miss her more than I thought possible.
"The boy got lost, Kiro found him. The boy says he is from the White Wolves." Ginta said.
"Well than I'll take you back. Your mother must be worried sick." Koug said as he stared at the boy.
"That is what I am afraid of sir. She'll give me a whipping." Kovu said with a shudder.
"Well you probably do deserve a sound lashing." Kouga said with a kind smile, "I'm sure she won't be too hard on you."
The boy just looked at him.
"Well let's go. You can travel on my back we will get there faster." Kouga said as he stooped down to let the boy on. Turning to Ginta and Kiro "You'll take care of the pack for me won't you?"
"Yeah…of course we will." Ginta said quickly.
"No problem." Kiro said.
"Ok then see you guys later. I'm off to return this stray pup and see my wife." Kouga said with a smile as he took off in the wind.
"Ok…um should we have said something to him?" Kiro asked Ginta.
"I don't know. I guess he'll have a shock when he gets there." Ginta said.
At the White Wolves Dens
"How could you be so careless Hakaku. You know he takes every opportunity to get away." Ayame ranted as she paced back and forth in front of Hakaku.
"I had my eye on him Ayame we were fishing. And I turned away for a moment…"
"I don't want to hear it I want him found. He's all I have left in this world." Ayame said with a small sob.
Ayame I have sent the seeker wolves out he cannot be far. Jass said softly
"I can't just stand here I have to do something." Ayame said with a cry of frustration she ran out of the den.
"Mom. Mommy!" A little voice cried out.
Turning on her heels Ayame saw Kovu running from the woods toward her.
"Kovu… my son." Ayame cried as she ran to Kovu. Falling on her knees, she threw her arms around him in a tight hug. "Thank the gods your alive. DO you know you're the only thing I have…Gods if I had lost you." Ayame ranted as she tightened her grip on her son.
"Mom…mom you're hurting me." Kovu said in a muffled voice.
"Oh sorry. However, you are in big trouble. By right I should give you a lashing." Ayame rebuked.
"Don't be too hard on him Ayame. There was a time you thought of running away." a voice said.
Ayame's head snapped up at the voice. She felt herself shiver in fear and happiness all mixed. "Kovu go to Jass's den and go to bed. That is your punishment. No don't you argue with me do as your told."
Kovu hung his head and shuffled off.
Ayame slowly got to her feet. Hesitant at first she raised her eyes to look at Kouga. Drawing in a gasp, she could not help but see that he had grown more handsome as time went by. His armor seemed to hug his athletic form perfectly accenting his muscles and lightly tanned skin. He still had an air of command combined with a graceful relaxed posture as if he were so powerful that he need do nothing to prove it. She knew it to be the truth. Her eyes traveled to his face. His blue eyes were cold as ice. With hidden anger behind them. He must have seen her fear for he spoke.
"Are you scared Ayame. Do you feel fear that everything you love is going to be taken away." Kouga asked coldly.
"Kouga I…" Ayame began.
"For gods sake Ayame that's my son. My flesh and blood. Why Ayame, why did you not tell me you were with child." Kouga said with anger.
"Can we talk about this in some privacy?" Ayame asked softly.
"Fine." Kouga said as he followed Ayame to her den. The one he had shared with her.
"Kouga you. You left me and I begged you to listen but you left any way." Ayame accused.
"Yes and I told you that I would come back in a month or two. Moreover, I did come back and you happened to be gone every time I came. I waited two weeks waiting for you. You do not know how hard it was as days, weeks; month's even years went by with out you there. I loved you Ayame. Damn it I loved you so much and I still do. Now I do not know what to do. My son doesn't even know he has a father." Kouga ranted in frustration.
Ayame's heart skipped a beat "What did you say?" She whispered.
Walking up to her Kouga said, "My son has no father." He said with strain.
"No before that." Ayame said as she grabbed his hand in hers.
"That I love you." Kouga said softly a slight stain of red formed on his face.
"That is all I need to know." Ayame whispered as she rose on her tiptoes. Her soft lips pressed against his as she slowly gave him a soft kiss.
Kouga found himself wrapping his arms around her waist as he deepened the kiss. His tongue gently stroked her lower lip asking entrance which she gave readily. Feeling himself losing control Kouga broke away from Ayame with a soft moan. Staring down into her emerald green eyes, he could see the soft emotion of love. Her eyes begged him for more.
"Ayame." Kouga said in a husky voice.
"What." Ayame said as she walked backward toward the bed of furs. Kougas arms still wrapped around her waist.
"Ayame did you miss me as much as I missed you?" Kouga asked as he tightened his grip to keep her from moving.
"I did miss you Kouga. Especially when Kovu came into the world." Ayame said as tears ran down her face.
"Don't cry Ayame." Kouga said as he kissed the tears on her cheek.
"Don't leave me Kouga. Please…don't ever leave me again." Ayame said as she buried her face in the side of his neck.
"I don't think I could leave you even if I tried to. Some one would have to push me away from you." Kouga said with a laugh.
"Oh? You mean like this?" Ayame said with a grin as she shoved Kouga onto the bed of furs.
"Mmm much like that." Kouga said as he yanked Ayame on top of him.
"Do you like it when I'm on top Kouga?" Ayame asked with a smirk as she wiggled her hips against his.
"I love you Ayame. My little minx." Kouga said as he ran his hand through her red hair.
"I love you too my Kouga." Ayame said as she kissed his collarbone.
"Ayame do you think our son will accept me?" Kouga said his hands stilled form their activity of untying her armor plates.
"I told Kuvo all about you and that you would someday come back to us." Ayame said as she gazed into his eyes.
"Ayame thank you for naming him after my father." Kouga said.
"Stop talking Kouga your beginning to ruin the moment." Ayame said as she removed his armor.
"Fine love. I guess this is our happy ending?" Kouga said as he licked her bare shoulder with his tongue.
"Far from it Kouga. This in only the beginning." Ayame said as she kissed Kouga full on the lips. A kiss that sent them both to the ground with only the sound of the waterfall and the soft moans of two wolfs very much in love with each other.
THE END
Thank you so much for all the reviews I appreciate all of you for staying with me to the end of the story I just had to have ayame and Kouga end up together because hey, they belong together.
I am thinking of doing another story set in the 1800's. Where Ayame is an heiress who uses her wealth and power to help others Kagome is a women who is hunting to find a husband with a lot of money, Inyuashia is a Duke and Kouga is a fortune hunter. What do you think? Does it sound good? Any way one last favor from you guys, with the end of this story could you rate it for me, tell me if it was ok or poorly written. I guess maybe 1 being the worst and 5 the best. Any way thank you again for all the reviews.
