"Again," he snarls.
Jasper and Emmett go at it again. About that time Bella and Edward so up in his Volvo, the get out and make their way over towards the others. Kagome jumps off of Emmett's Jeep and makes her way over towards him. She gives Emmett a hug and kisses him causing him to calm down. Bella says hello to everyone, then everyone's attention snaps towards the opposite direction.
"They're here."
Sam and the others step out into the clearing in their human forms. Sam is determined to make good on what he told Kagome. He goes up to Carlisle and offers his hand, Carlisle accepts it.
"I'd like this to be the beginning of truce between the pack and the Cullens." Sam tells him.
"I'd like that, Sam, but why the sudden change of heart?"
"Kagome has made me realize that there is true evil out there and you all are not evil. You fight your own instincts to help protect the humans, and we should work together to do just that."
"Thank you, Sam."
Sam only nods, he looks over at Kagome and gives her a smile she waves back at him. Sam walks back over to the pack, they all take a seat on some boulders and wait for what's next. Carlisle steps forward to address the rest of the pack.
Thank you all for coming and welcome. Jasper has experience with newborns. He'll teach us how to defeat them."
"How are they different from you all?" Jared asks.
"They're a great deal stronger than us, because their own human blood lingers in their tissues. Our kind is never more physically powerful than in our first several months of this life."
The pack look at each other. The Carlisle looks over at Jasper so he can start to explain.
"Carlisle's right. That's why they are created. A newborn army, doesn't need thousands like a human army. And no human army could stand against them. The two most important things to remember are, first... Never let them get their arms around you. They'll crush you instantly. The second... Never go for the obvious kill. They'll be expecting that. And you will lose."
Kagome is standing next to Emmett in the field listening to what Jasper is saying when suddenly she smiles. She squeezes Emmett's hand.
"He's here." Kagome says in an excited tone.
"Who's here?"
"Kouga."
Just then a whirlwind appears out of nowhere causing everyone to run for cover. They can hear from within the whirlwind someone yell…
"MY WOMAN!"
Then suddenly, a man with pointy ears, claws and fangs and a tail with icy blue eyes is standing in front of Kagome. He picks her up in his arms and twirls her around, Kagome giggles.
"Kouga put me down."
"Yeah, Kouga, put her down." Emmett warns.
Kouga blinks as if just now noticing the large vampire standing next to Kagome.
"Relax, Vamp, I'm not stealing your woman, it's been 500 years since I've seen this beauty, can't blame a guy for being happy."
I don't care, let go of my girlfriend." Emmett growls.
"Watch yourself, Vamp, I could crush you without even trying."
The wolves hear that and start sniggering.
"I don't know what you pups are laughing at, if this was 500 years ago, you all would be at the bottom of the food chain." Kouga tells them.
They immediately stop laughing. Kouga puts Kagome down but doesn't let go of her hand, a short time later Ginta and Hakaku show up
"Boss, do you always have to leave us behind? Ginta asks.
"Can I help it if you guys are slow pokes?"
Ginta and Hakaku come up to Kagome and give her a hug, "Sister, it's so good to see you, it's been too long." Hakaku says once he puts Kagome down.
The others are looking at the new arrivals confused. Carlisle, ever the diplomat, come over to find out what is going on.
"Kagome, who are your friends?"
"Oh, where are my manners, Carlisle, everyone, I'd like to introduce you to Kouga leader of the Eastern wolf demon tribe, and this is Ginta and Hakaku."
Recognition crosses the face of every person there. They had all heard about Kouga, the one that kidnapped Kagome 500 years ago. That helped her defeat Naraku. Sam is literally in awe of the Youkai standing before him but Paul and Jacob are unimpressed.
"He doesn't look so tough to me," Paul tells Jacob.
Jacob nods. "I bet he can't even shift." Jacob whispers.
"You think I'm easy, huh?" Kouga yells from across the field at Paul and Jacob, "Then come pups, show me what you got."
Paul and Jacob grin at each other and burst out of their skins they rush toward Kouga and stand in front of him snarling. Kouga rolls his eyes,
"Very intimidating."
"Kouga." Kagome warns
"What, I'm just going to give them a little scare."
Kouga smirks and tranforms into his true form, a giant brown wolf, standing the same height as Sesshomaru's true form. He towers over Paul and Jacob, Kouga snarls at them, causing Paul and Jacob to yelp and literally pee themselves. They try to run, but a hug paw comes down and pins them both to the ground. Kouga doesn't use a lot of force just enough to let them know who the Alpha is. Once they submit, Kouga transforms back, he hoists them both up onto his shoulders and carries them to Sam. He tosses them at Sam's feet.
"You need to have better control over you pack, Pup, or one day they might go up against someone less forgiving, like Sesshomaru."
Sam looks down at the unconscious wolves and up at Kouga. "I apologize for their behavior Kouga.
"Don't worry about it, they gave me an excuse to stretch my legs. Now back to the introductions, Kagome, introduce me to everyone."
"Right, Kouga, This is my boyfriend Emmett."
Kouga, looks Emmett over, then offers his hand, "You're a lucky man, Emmett, to have Kagome as a girlfriend."
Emmett accepts his hand, "Thank you, Kouga, I know I am."
Kagome leads Kouga over to where Bella and Edward, "This is my cousin Bella and her boyfriend Edward."
Kouga takes Bella's hand and kisses it, "You're almost as beautiful as Kagome and any family of Kagome's is automatically a member of my pack, so welcome, little sister."
Bella blushes, and thanks Kouga. Kouga shakes Edward's hand and then Kagome introduces him to everyone else.
"And I meant to introduce you to Carlisle the head of the family earlier but we were rudely interrupted."
"Kouga it's an pleasure to meet you, and thank you for your help with our problem." Carlisle says.
"Anything for Kagome, Carlisle." Kouga tells him.
"Now would you care to stay and watch us train?"
"Sure I got the time."
"Alright Jasper, continue."
"Okay, Emmett!" Jasper motions for his brother to come at him.
"Don't hold back." Jasper tells him.
"Not in my nature." Emmett replies.
Kouga, Ginta and Hakaku go and stand with Kagome.
Emmett charges Jasper with impossible speed, but Jasper is a virtual blur, though the wolves and Youkai and Kagome can see everything. Emmett lunges several times, his strong arms grabbing at air. Jasper stops long enough to say…
"Never lose focus. One more thing... Never turn your back on your enemy."
Emmett lunges again with similar results, until suddenly he freezes, Jasper has him from behind, his teeth an inch from Emmett's throat.
Everyone takes turns sparring against Jasper then pairing off to spar against each other. while Alice and Jasper spar. Alice and Jasper spar, spiraling, twisting. Jasper launches at her but with her eyes glazed over, not looking at him, she sees his moves before he makes them. Out of nowhere, Alice is perched on his back; she kisses his neck.
"Gotchya." Alice tells Jasper.
Kouga rolls his eyes, "Very entertaining, Little One, now try that with someone you can't predict."
Kouga steps in front of Alice, she smiles at him and he gives her a cheeky smirk, she lunges for him he easily dodges and slaps her in the face. She lunges again he moves again and punches her in the stomach, not hard. He sweeps her leg out from under her, she crashes to the ground. She jumps back to her feet and tries to dodge his attacks but Kouga hit her everytime. The whole time he's talking to her.
"You see, Little One, you can't alway depend on your gifts, eventually you will run up against a superior opponent, and then what will you do?"
At the end of that sentence Kouga has Alice from behind posed to snap her neck. Jasper gets pissed and throws a punch at Kouga, who catches his fist.
"Temper, temper, Vamp, she has to learn to properly defend herself if she is to survive this world."
"Why don't you spar with me, demon, and see how you do against the major?" Jasper challenges.
"Gladly."
Jasper attacks Kouga, throwing a punch after punch at Kouga, Kouga blocks them without even trying, Jasper leaps at Kouga but no one is there when he lands Kouga move so fast it look like he disappeared and reappeared somwhere else. Kouga kicks Jasper in the chest sending him flying across the field landing hard on the ground leaving an impression. Jasper gets up and uses his vampire speed to rush Kouga, to Kouga he might as well have running a little faster than a human. Jasper comes in for a punch, Kouga is bored so he catches Jasper's fist and tosses him to the ground.
"Had enough?"
"Never!"
"I think that's quite enough, Jasper, why don't you spar with someone else?" Carlisle suggests.
Jasper nods, and goes to work with Rosalie.
Kouga goes over to Kagome, "That was fun, let's hope there's a lot of these newborns so I won't get bored.
Kagome giggles, "So tell me Kouga did you and Ayame mate?"
"Hell no, she was too much of a brat, I mated a demoness from the Southern Wolf Demon Tribe, her name is Miyuki, got me a huge litter of pups." Kouga tells her proudly.
"I'm so happy for you, Kouga, you deserve to be happy."
"Thanks, Kagome, so what's the deal with you and the big guy?"
"I met him here in Forks, we went to school together, he's a really nice guy Kouga, no one has every treated me a well as he does, not even you."
"Well that certainly says a lot about him, do you love him?"
"Not yet, but I care for him a great deal."
Emmett was fighting with Kostas when he heard Kagome say that, he stops what he was doing and is standing there smirking. Giving Kostas a chance to tackle him into the dirt. He pushes Kostas off of him and glares at him.
"Remember what Jasper said, never turn your back on an enemy." Kostas says with a laugh.
"I think we're done for the day." Jasper tells everyone.
Jasper walks up to Kouga, "Kouga you and your friends are welcome to join us tomorrow."
Kouga waves him off, "Nah, we'll be back in three days. Don't need to see anymore. See you around, Kagome."
With that, Kouga takes off in a whirlwind leaving Ginta and Hakaku behind, they both sigh.
"See you in three days, Kagome." Ginta says.
"Bye, Kagome. Hey Kouga why don't you ever wait for us! Hakaku yells as they take off running.
