Author's Note:
There will be a slight change in the plot of my story so I guess you can just disregard the story summary. Oh and also Yasha will finally be back in the next chapter for those who are really anxious and wondering where he is.
A Wolf's Only Wish-Betrayal-
The cool dark night sky was disturbed by the eerie glow and smoke from the many bonfires coming from the wolf den in the mountains. The moon was full; the wolves howled and cheered with excitement at their victory against the birds of paradise.
Once the army had arrived earlier in the late afternoon all the wounded were rushed off to be treated. Others received the bad news of losing a loved one but nobody cried, not even the cubs. They all beamed with pride knowing that the wolf demons that had died went down bravely in battle. Kagome smiled but collapsed; today had been the most eventful and exhausting day of her life literally.
She finally awoke hours later to the sound of music and laughter; it was late into the night. Kagome's stomach grumbled and she wondered what the hell was going on. She had sat up and noticed she was in the nest in the main den.
'Why am I the only one in here?'
Kagome walked slowly towards the mouth of the cave, she poked her head out to get a peek of what was going on outside. 'A party?' she thought and felt kind of offended that she had not been informed or invited.
"HEY KOGA YOUR WOMAN'S AWAKE!" shouted Ginta who was walking by.
Kagome jumped "Holy shhh- where did you come from?"
Ginta snickered and dragged her out for everyone to see "You of all people should be joining us sis."Everybody went quiet when they saw Kagome. She started to blush with embarrassment. All the demons and wolves applauded, howled, and cheered causing her to blush even more.
"Umm…" she began not sure what was going on.
Tsuki ran up to Kagome "If it wasn't for you human girl we most likely would not have won the battle against those wretched birds."
"Yeah! Everybody here now knows that you are a hero and you'll be treated like one." Ginta added, "I wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for you."
"Yup!" Tsuki chirped and dragged Kagome over to the biggest group of wolf demons around a fire.
Kagome was slightly relieved to see Koga there. Tsuki forced her to sit down next to the wolf prince of course. Some wolves smirked knowingly and others twisted up their jealous faces.
"Here." Tsuki said handing Kagome a skewer.
"What's this?"
"Cooked meat… that thingy you said humans like to eat. I hope we made it good." Tsuki said.
"What do you mean by we?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Me and this one" she pointed to Koga "had no idea how to make this cooked meat as you say. So we worked on it together hoping that we'd get it right eventually."
"Thanks." Kagome said and bit into it.
"Good?"
Kagome nodded vigorously in between bites "Yes. Good!"
'Or maybe it just taste good since I haven't eaten meat in what seems like forever.'
"So how was your sleep?" Koga asked.
"I got a much needed rest." Kagome smiled. She couldn't stay mad at them forever. Actually she had gotten so used to living in the wolf den and saw them as friends in a way even though they kidnapped her they weren't really evil or that different from humans.
"That's good." He said.
"Oi! You all look thirsty." Hakkaku announced and started pouring everybody glasses of red liquid.
Kagome wondered how on earth could wolves get fancy glasses from. 'Guess they're not really savages.' Kagome sniffed the liquid that had just been poured in her cup. It smelled pretty good, nothing like blood.
"Don't worry we wont poison ya' sis, especially not me." Hakkaku reassured.
Kagome took a small sip. It was nothing like she had ever drunk before, simply amazing, so sweet, and warm. It gave her a joyous and tingling feeling. She chugged it down causing some to dribble down her chin.
"Like it?" laughed Koga wiping her chin. Everybody smiled when they saw that.
"Oh yes! More please." Kagome asked in a fit of giggles holding out her glass to Hakkaku, which he happily poured for her.
"Why do you call me sis?" she asked before she drank more.
"Well cause it's kinda' obvious…" Ginta began.
Kagome raised an eyebrow as she continued to drink.
"You're gonna' be Koga's mate!" Tsuki laughed.
Kagome choked and immediately spit out what ever the heck it was she was drinking "WHAT?"
"Yeah what is it you guys are talking about?" asked a flustered Koga who tried to hide behind the glass he was drinking from.
"So its not true?" Hakkaku asked with hope in his voice.
"With all do respect I would never mate Koga." Kagome said pouring herself another glass.
"And why not?" asked Koga feeling insulted.
"Well your too cocky for your own good at times and I don't know maybe cause you kidnapped me!" Kagome shot back.
"Trust me I wouldn't wanna' mate you either." Koga retorted.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah really! You're a weak human who's too picky, high maintenance, and cries for everything." He smirked knowing he struck a nerve.
"I'm not even gonna' respond to your stupid comment. You know nothing about me!" Kagome said through gritted teeth.
Everybody was listening to the argument going on between the human and wolf prince. And the silence between them was getting awkward. The demons that were playing music before started playing again but this time they were blasting the music hoping to get everyone's attention. Tsuki, Hakkaku, and Ginta all had to separate Kagome and Koga like they were little children.
"It's cute how they fight like mated couple." Tsuki snickered.
Kagome and Koga glared at each other across form the fire not saying a word. They both continued drinking the red liquid as if they were having silent competition who can drink more. Of course at the time Kagome had no idea she was drinking alcohol, it was sweet. After a long while of babysitting the two Tsuki, Ginta, and Hakkaku went off to dance and socialize with the rest of the wolf pack.
After a while of drinking the red liquor Kagome felt dazed and struggled to get to her feet. She wobbled as she started walking. Koga also got to his feet feeling a little strange. The liquor was slowly affecting him.
Kagome bumped into him "H- hey watch it!"
"No you!" he childishly shot back.
Kagome gasped.
"What?" he asked holding her up since she couldn't stand on her own.
"Your eyes. T-there gorgeous." She mumbled.
His eyebrows furrowed in confusion "W-wah?"
Kagome went into a bunch of giggle fits "Kogi!"
Tsuki had heard Kagome's loud strange giggles. She looked back and sweat dropped. 'Th- they're actually drunk. Idiots!'
"Hakkaku how many glasses did those two drink?"
He shrugged "I don't know but I don't think we should interrupt them. Koga might kill us if we do… Remember last time he was drunk and kissed a tree. We tried to stop him and then he broke my arm." Ginta shuddered as memories of how he got beaten returned to him.
Kagome and Koga stumbled over towards the bonfire arm in arm. All the other demons were confused but were happy for their leader and were unaware that the two were drunk off their Asses. So they didn't bother to stop them when they drank even more of the red liquid.
"I th-think your drunk… no more," he said taking away her glass.
"Nooooo!" she whined and started pounding on his chest which was useless cause all she hit was hard metal armor.
Koga shook his head drinking her glass as well.
"Your so mean!" she cried out childishly pouted and became teary eyed.
"Nu uh! D-don't cry… umm… what's your name again?" he asked finishing the other glass.
Kagome gasped and thought hard for a moment "I don't know! What is my name?"
The liquor was consuming his mind and now he was starting to lose it. "You're the Meany Kalome."
"H-huh? Not true!" she shook her head vigorously and tipped over and started giggling once more, "Oops!"
"Strange little human." He sighed and fell back while his head continued to throb.
"Human! I thought I was wolfy." she shot up with her hair all-wild and grabbed her head, "Oww it hurts."
Koga sat there in a slight daze staring at the human girl. In her state she was so innocent and naïve. She was so attractive for a human, and at that moment her wild appearance was so captivating to an untamed wolf demon like him. He didn't even notice that she was staring back or that she was moving extremely close.
"K-Kag-"
But, Koga never finished what he had to say cause Kagome's lips crashed against his. Of course the wolf prince was shocked just like everybody else but he wasn't going to let an opportunity like this pass. He kissed her back passionately and they stayed that way for quite some time not really thinking clearly of the consequences. Mothers covered their cub's eyes feeling the scene was much too inappropriate. Males whistled like the little perverts they were.
Kagome was first to pull away for air and ended up having one of her giggle fits again. Her laughter was pleasing to the wolf prince's ears. When her giggling moment was finally over she rested her head at the crook of his neck. He was about to kiss her again until she spoke up again.
"I don't feel so good…" she mumbled and passed out.
"Okay! I think it's time for Kagome to go bed now, she's gonna' have a monster hangover in the morning." Tsuki said walking towards the couple to save Kagome while she glared at Hakkaku.
Koga gripped Kagome protectively and made a whining sound like an injured wolf cub.
Tsuki pulled his ear knowing that she might get in trouble for it later "Let go."
Koga growled and reluctantly let the human girl go. He watched as Tsuki carried her away to the caves.
-
It was late morning when Koga finally woke up. And when he got to his feet he saw that he had been sleeping outside in the forest.
'What the hell happened? Ah! My head hurts.'
"Hey look who's finally up!" a voice laughed.
Koga turned around and saw his men all-smirking at him. Hakkaku and Ginta made their way to the front of course.
"What?" he growled. They all busted out in laughter.
"Let's just say last night was the best night of your life." Ginta said in between laughs causing Koga to raise his eyebrows.
-
"Kagome! Wake up! Wake up!"
Kagome rolled over and tried to hide in her comfy straw nest. Tsuki frowned and dragged the sleeping girl along the cold, hard, rock ground.
"OWWW!"
"Finally your up. It's almost noon!"
Kagome jumped to her feet "What? Are you sure? I feel exhausted like I got no sleep at all… maybe it was that strange dream."
"Another weird dream?"
Kagome massaged her temples "Yeah. But, this one was about a boy in my school-"
Tsuki's nose wrinkled in confusion "Schoooool?"
"Where I'm from children are sent off to get an education. That's what we call school." Kagome explained.
"Oh. No wonder you're so smart. Well please continue."
"Well it was so random I guess" Kagome laughed "the boy from my school, his name is Hojo but I don't know him that well… in my dream it was like I was drunk."
Tsuki smirked "Drunk eh?"
"Yeah, I know! Me drunk, as if. Well to make a long story short I stared up at his eyes and stuff like that" Kagome blushed "and then later I kissed him!"
Tsuki laughed "Oh my poor friend Kagome that was not a dream. It really happened."
"What do you mean it really happened? Hojo's not here!" Kagome was completely lost.
"Well besides for the Hojo part. You did get drunk and you did kiss someone." Tsuki grinned.
"Who?" Kagome asked desperately.
"Koga." Tsuki whispered.
"What? How? Oh my gosh!" Kagome screamed turning red.
"Koga was drunk also, not as much as you but you two seemed to be enjoying yourselves. We had to separate the both of you or you would have mated right there on the spot in front of everyone."
Kagome's face turned bright tomato red, her eyes rolled up, and she fainted from shock, embarrassment, and her monster hang over.
-
"I DID WHAAAAAAAAAAT?"
"It's true! You did that with Kagome!" sobbed Hakkaku.
"Admit it. Kagome is beautiful, strong, smart, caring, and reliable. The perfect qualities to be your mate, the alpha female." Ginta said happily.
"B- but she's human how can I-"
"So what if she's human she's perfect the way she is!" Hakkaku cried.
"You know he has a point Koga. Better get a move on before someone else takes her." Said another wolf demon.
"Just remember a powerful priestess like her can produce strong full bred wolf demons." Ginta said.
"You know I never understood -sniff- how that mating stuff works out." Hakkaku added.
"Me neither." Koga sighed "But I promised to let her go once the birds were gone and now look."
"You are our leader but if you let her go I'll never forgive you!" Hakkaku said childishly.
"Admit it you love the girl or else you wouldn't be sad that she's leaving." Ginta said in a matter of fact tone.
Koga blushed "If I don't let her go then she'll hate me."
"Heh, he's worried about her hating him." Said another demon.
"I never said I loved her!"
"Oh but you never said you didn't love her." Ginta said.
-
Kagome had woken up minutes after she fainted "Mmm?… Urgh!"
"You humans are so over dramatic at times." Tsuki announced.
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe I kissed Koga! I thought it was only a stupid dream about Hojo!"
"Kagome do you like Koga?" Tsuki asked with a serious face.
"Whaaaaaaat?"
"Do you at least like Koga?" she asked again.
Kagome blushed and looked away "I- I'm not sure. I barely know him."
"So… you don't like him?"
"I wouldn't exactly say that. Koga has treated me very kindly considering he kidnapped me and everything… but it's like you said he's not really all that bad."
"Aww!" Tsuki squealed.
"Do you think Koga's good looking?"
Kagome blushed bright red again "Y- yeah he's very handsome… and strong." She said sheepishly.
Tsuki smiled "You two would make great mates I just know it."
"But, I want to go home!"
"Do you really have to?" Tsuki asked with puppy dog eyes.
"Yes, I do. I have a family that needs me back home."
"Will you at least visit sis?"
Kagome briefly hugged the wolf girl she had befriended "I'll see if I can and can you stop calling me sis I'm not Koga's mate."
"Not yet…"
"What was that?"
"Oh nothing, nothing!" Tsuki said innocently.
-
"Bye everyone!" Kagome cried as she and Koga walked down the mountainside.
"BYE!" they all yelled back.
Kagome giggled "Oh those wolf cubs are just so cute."
"Yeah…"
The pair continued walking down the mountain in complete awkward silence for a long while.
"We're going to Kaede's village right?" Kagome asked trying to start up a conversation.
"Yup…"
Kagome couldn't take it anymore "I'm sorry for kissing you!"
Koga stopped in his tracks wide eyed and blushing bright red "I- it's k."
"No it's not. Ever since that incident happened things have gotten weirder."
"Kagome…"
"Yes?"
"Do you love me?" he asked looking in her arm.
"Umm… well. Do you love me?" Kagome asked back.
"Hey! I asked first."
Kagome sighed "I'm not sure. I don't know you too well to know if I love you… But, don't take it the wrong way Koga. I do care for you since you seem like a good friend."
"I see… I'll be honest. I was raised not to like humans but for some reason I can't help being attracted to you… I wouldn't mind mating you." Koga blushed at the last part he said.
Kagome had no idea how to react or even respond to that statement. Koga noticed she was tense and sighed disappointedly. He scooped her up in his arms and started running towards Kaede's village.
'What is wrong with me? Why would I say that to her? Well the sooner Kagome's gone the better.'
"Stop." Kagome squeaked.
"What for?"
"There!" Kagome pointed at the well she climbed out of weeks ago.
"What about the bone eater's well?"
"That's where I came from."
Koga looked at her as if she was crazy "Maybe that liquor is still in your system."
"No really I'm serious! That centipede demon lady dragged me through the well in my house and some how I ended up here… maybe if I jump down I'll go through back to my home."
"Are you crazy?"
But, it was too late Kagome already had her legs over the edge of the well. Koga ran towards the well to try and stop her from making a horrible mistake.
"KAGOME STOP!"
Kagome wasn't going to jump down just yet but when he yelled he startled her so much that she fell in. Koga reached out for her but all he managed to grab was the Shikon Jewel, which was around her neck. The chain broke and he had the jewel in his hand, Kagome gasped in shock not really understanding what just happened. Everything had happened so fast and now she was falling down the well.
"NO!" Koga cried fearing that she would hit the solid ground and die. But, much to his surprise bright blue-lavender light shined out of the well and she was gone.
"Kagome? Kagome!"
-
The bright shining light soon dissolved and Kagome was back to her feet, which did not last long cause she dropped to her knees and sobbed.
'All he wanted was the jewel? He was toying with my emotions! He never cared. Oh I'm such a fool how could I trust a demon?'
"Koga you bastard! You didn't even try to save me you only reached out for the sacred jewel." She said through clenched teeth.
