Sango

"And how long have you and Kouga been dating?"

"Four months." She said trying desperately not to frown. The questions had been like this for the past hour with them repeating a view every once in a while to double check her answers and she was truly tired of it. After her little run- in with Ishizu she was immediately pulled away by the rest of the council. They began to ask her questions about wolf culture in general and then proceeded to ask her about the clan. They asked her every one's names, what they do for the clan, if they're married, etc. It had been like this for the first hour or so and then they took a five min. break she went looking for Kouga but was told she couldn't see him. This was truly getting ridiculous.

"And where did you guys meet again?"

With a sigh she told them once more how she was with her brother, a dog demon, just roaming through a few villages when they met.

"I've had enough of this I would like to see my mate." She finally stated. She was done and not knowing where Kouga was was truly starting to bother her.

"I'm sorry Sango but we are not finish with are questions and-"

"I don't care," She growled bearing her fangs. Wait fangs? When did she get these? "I want to no- I need to see my mate. I don't know where he is and I do NOT feel comfortable being with you any longer. Ginta!" She yelled standing up.

"Yes Sango?" He ran in looking concerned.

"Where's Kouga. I need to see him now."

"Sango we are not finish here."

"Uh he's in the woods with Ishizu I believe. But Sango you really need to finish with the council before- Sango?"

She was already gone.

Kouga

"Ishizu it's been hours how long are they going to keep asking her questions I miss my mate?" Kouga complained for the fifth time in the past hour. The funny thing was he truly did miss Sango. He was used to having her around every hour of the day and after being away from her the first hour he immediately began to miss her. "Damn Mark" he thought as he looked up at his cave. They weren't too far but far enough that he couldn't send any thoughts to Sango or hear hers. He couldn't help but pout at that. He really did miss Sango.

"Oh quit your whining Kouga I swear I've never seen you like this. If I didn't know any better I'd think she really was your mate."

"She is!" He growled. And after he thought about it he realized that if this actualy was real he wouldn't mind at all. He truly liked having Sango around and he officially no longer cared for Ishizu's approval. Just as he was about to go back to the cave he smelt her. Sango. His Sango. It felt really good saying that actually.

"Kouga!" She exclaimed before jumping into his arms. He couldn't help but smirk as he saw the rest of the council and Ginta running behind her.

"Hello love did you miss me?" He said with a smile before kissing her softly on the lips. God had he missed her. Just having her back in his arms made everything a bit easier.

"Always." She said with a smile before kissing him again. Yeah he could definitely live the rest of his life like this. He couldn't help but frown when he heard an awkward cough behind him.

"If you two are finished, I would like to hear the council's results." Ishizu said with a glare, "Council?"

"We couldn't finish Ishizu. She got up in the middle of the third part of questioning demanding to see Kouga." They said with smiles.

He glanced at Sango a little worried and then glanced back at the council. Why were they so damn happy that she didn't finish.

"Ishizu-" He began trying to come up with an excuse but then her heard her sigh.

"Well congratulations you two it looks like you past the first test. " The woman said with a glare.

"What wait?" Both he and Sango said with confused looks on their faces.

"Sango proved that her concern for you was more important than trying to impress the council with her knowledge. Yes the questionnaire was to prove how much she knew about you but the real test was to see how well she knew you. You said yourself that you spend practically the whole day together so when she hadn't heard form you in a few hours she immediately began to ask for you. When she received no response from the council she went to find you instead. So like I said congrats but don't get too excited this was only the first part. I'll be in my room I'll see you two in the morning. She said with a glare but Kouga just ignored it as he picked Sango up and swung her around while she laughed. They had convinced the main part of the council. He couldn't wait to give her the surprise he planned to give her if things worked out. Yes he could definitely see himself with her for a long time.
