AUTHORS NOTE~
Sorry I've taken so long on updating... I went to the lake with some friends and my mind's been on ther things, (LIKE LEGEND OF KORRA!) but I'm back! I'll have to admit i've been having some writers block, so *THIS IS IMPORTANT* I'm having a small time lapse of three days in my story. This will help keep things moving, and help with the writers block. Okay... I'm done now...

AYAME POV

It had been three days since Koga and Ayame had made the deal. He was nice enough to send Hakaku and Ginta to her home to tell her people where she would be for the next two weeks. But she made sure to tell Hakaku and Ginta to tell her tribe that she was there on buisness. She didn't want to hurt her pride by telling people that she was a slave for two weeks.

'Talk about Humiliation.'

The past three days though, have been very uneventful. The most Koga has made her do thus far is kill and cook for him. Nothing she hasn't done for herself many times before.

'I don't understand, why would he keep me around just to cook? What is the point of this? I just want to go home already... but at least I get to spend time with him...'

She thought as she prepared Koga's breakfast (yet again). As she chopped fruit into slices, she started to think...

'I have to admit though, I enjoy cooking and caring for Koga. It's as if we're married.' She chuckled at the thought. 'Yea right. He only wants me around to do chores for him. He doesn't really care about me. He just wants his next meal...'

As Ayame finished chopping the assorted fruit, she placed them onto an elevated area, so the wolves wouldn't get it.

She walked towards the cave that she had to call "home" for the next two weeks. Ayame knew that Koga would probably be in his cave, being lazy as usual. She jumped up the hillside and into Koga's cave. She looked around the cave, but he was no where to be seen.

'Where could he be?'

Ayame searched the rest of the hillside, searching among the rest of the wolves, looking for the dark-headed leader. She ran, jumped and searched but she still couldn't find the young wolf. But then Ayame looked over towards A huge rock, where the wolf-demon children often play. What Ayame saw instantly warmed her heart.

Koga was turned towards the rock, hiding his eyes and counting. She saw many of the young pups scrambling to find a place to hide. You could hear Koga counting, "4...5...6...7...8,9,10!" Ready or not, here I come!" He turns around and starts to "look" for the children.

"Where could they be?" Koga asked himself aloud.

"Hm... could they be... HERE!" He jumped behind a bush and picks up a young boy pup, causing the boy to giggle uncontrollably. "HAHA! I found you Hikaru! Now, help me find the others!" Koga said to the boy with a determined look on his face.

"Okay!" Hikaru said as he crouched onto the ground, sniffing for the rest of his playmates.

Koga walked on the tip of his toes, sneaking towards a big tree a few feet away.

"What is this I hear? Is that a giggle? I didn't know tree's giggled!" and with that Koga jumped behind the tree and swooped up another wolf cub into his arms.

"AHA! So the giggle came from you Kaname!" He said as he tickled the girl's sides. She giggled even harder at his antics. He sat the girl on the ground.

"Okay cubs! Listen up!" Both the children looked towards Koga.

"Now, we only have one more to find! We must work together as a pack to find her! Do you accept this challenge?"

"Yes sir!" Said the cubs jumping into the air with excitement!

"Very good!" Koga said with a wide grin. "Then lets go find Yukara!" and with that the three began to look for the young girl.

Ayame brought a hand to her heart. She had never seen this side of Koga before. So caring, so playful, so... so... she couldn't even describe it. Ayame continued to watch as they tried to find the last hide-and-seeker.

"I found her I found her!" Hikaru shouted from another bush.

Koga walked over, "Good job! I'm very proud of all three of you! I'm sure some day you will be some of the strongest wolves in my pack!"

The two girls smiled, giggling while the young boy puffed up his chest in pride.

"You are dissmissed for now my little warriors. I think it's time you go home for a snack. I don't want your parents worrying about you." Koga said as he patted them on the head.

The cubs looked sad, but did as Koga said, running off towards their own homes.

Ayame looked at Koga's face as he watched the children run home.

'I've never seen that look on his face before. I'd like to see it more often...'

Her thoughts were cut short when Koga turned and faced her.

"So Ayame, how long were you standing there?" He said as we took long strides towards Ayame.

"Long enough" She said with a teasing smile.

"so you just come here to stare at me?" He said as he continued to walk towards her.

"Well actually, I came to tell you that I have prepared some fruit for you, if you still want it."

as those last few words came from her mouth, Koga walked up to her and stood mere inches away.

"Of course I want it." He said in a teasing tone, his breath tickling Ayame's cheek.

Ayame looked into his deep blue eyes...

'he's just teasing you ayame... remember that'

But those thoughts slipped from her mind as he pinned her to the rock that had just been used just moments ago for a simple game of hide and seek.

His long, tan, muscular arms on both sides of her keeping her trapped to the rock, their bodies just a breath apart.

Koga started to lean in closer to Ayame.

'Ohmigosh... what is he doing?'

Her mind began to panic as he slowly got closer and closer. Ayame's heart started beating faster and louder, she was afraid that Koga would be able to hear it. Her face became hot as she turned the color of her hair.

Koga was so close to her face that she could almost feel his skin on hers. Almost like their bodies were wispering to one another. Ayame didn't know what to do next. But then Koga brought his lips near Ayame's ear and wispered,

"Ayame..."

She gulped.

Koga chuckled at her reactions. "Ayame,... go get my breakfast... Slave."

He pulled back with an amused look on his face.

'He's TEASING me! How dare he!'

Unable to think of anything to do or say, mostly because she was still so flustered from the previous events, she turned to go retrieve his food, while cursing at him under her breath.

"Jerk"

KOGA POV

'This is gonna be fun'

He said with a somewhat evil smirk as he watched the flustered red-head walk towards his cave.

He couldn't wait to mess with her.
