Kagome and Karo continued past Kouga's room and into a smaller cavern with torches all around. The torches were mostly hung on the walls so you could better read the scrolls that were placed neatly on the 5 or 6 shelves that were in the small cavern. Karo went to the center of the room and opened a small drawer that was in a stone podium. She came back and handed it to Kagome and then led her to the largest torch in the room. Karo helped Kagome undo the scroll. Kagome was amazed by what it revealed.

"Karo are these the ways of the alpha wolves?"

Kagome looked at the scroll and then at Karo. Karo put a smile on and nodded her head. Pointing to the drawings on the scroll.

"Yes Kagome you and Kouga will both fulfill these duties. You must protect your pack with your lives. You must be loyal to ancient rules and bi-laws. You must have an air to the throne. And you must promise to be loyal to one another and stick by each other and when the going gets tough. If you do ot follow these instructions as the ancient wolf leader scroll implies then your leadership will be revoked and you will be banned from these lands and a shame for all wolf demons and wolves alike. Do you understand my dear child?"

Kagome memorized the rules on the scroll one last time and answered Karo truthfully.

"I think I am. I hope I am. I know that if Kouga is with me we will be able to overcome any obstacle that stands in our way."

Karo giggled at the determination I the young female demons voice. Karo took back the scroll and put it in the drawer just like it was before. Then she took Kagome by the hand and led her back up the same hallway and out to another cavern. This one was empty except for some fur pelts in the corner and then a huge wardrobe against one of the walls. Karo went over to the wardrobe dragging Kagome with her. She opened on door and there were fans, jewelry, makeup, and ribbons. And then she opened the other side and there were traditional kimonos hung from a bar at the top.

The kimonos were so beautiful there was a gold one with blue flower petals on it that Karo brought out and laid on the pile of fur pelts. Then she came back over to Kagome and pointed to the wardrobe.

"Go on Kagome pick out a kimono to wear. This is what we will wear to your wedding tomorrow. Now you can have whatever you want. But pick something that you think Kouga will like too because his opinion madders too. Now that he is your mate he has some kind of say n what you wear and do."

Kagome didn't want to be controlled by Kouga but then she thought about it and she realized that they would be together all the time so she had to do what he wanted to anyway.

She looked over the kimonos with a watch full eye. She was waiting for one of them to pop out of the group. She looked back and forth until a blue kimono the same color as Kouga's eyes. It had golden full moons on it with small clouds. She knew that this was the right on for her. Then she went over to the other side and pulled out blue powder as her makeup and then a single golden ribbon for her hair. Then she turned back around to Karo as if to ask how she did. Karo walked over to her and looked at what she had picked out for herself. She looked up to Kagome.

"Kagome this is the exact one I hoped you would pick. It was my wedding kimono when I got married to Haro. How did you know?"

Kagome shrugged her shoulders and looked at the kimono again but this time with question in her eyes.

"I really don't know Karo I just looked until one of the kimonos pooped out. It just happened to be calling me. And so was the makeup and ribbon. I really think it is beautiful and would be honored if you would let me wear it."

Kagome looked back up to her future mother-in-law and bowed in respect. Karo smiled and bowed back but then stopped and asked Kagome to hold out her hands and close her eyes. Kagome did as she was asked without any questions. Karo took something off her neck and put in Kagome it in Kagome's hands and then closed them into two tight fists.

Kagome opened her eyes and opened her hands. There she found a golden chain with a single wolf at the end. It was hand made that much Kagome could tell from the specific details on the entire piece. It had blue eyes just like Karo, Haro, and Kouga. It was beautiful and she didn't know why Karo would give something like this to her Kagome her sons mate but much less someone she just met that same day. It didn't make any sense to Kagome at all.

"Karo,why would you give me this? It's so beautiful and it has to mean a lot to you since it is handmade. What is it for?"

Karo laughed and hugged Kagome again. What's with all the hugging in this family? Karo released a shocked Kagome and poked her nose.

"That was just a little thank you present for making my son so happy. I have never seen him like this. Plus his aura has changed too. It has become much brighter and I like him like this. That was also your wedding gift. My mother gave it to me when I got married and I never had a daughter to give it to until now. So please take it. It would make me happy to know that now I can die knowing that our family tradition will live on."

Kagome turned the necklace around and around examining it in the better light f the main den. Kagome was sitting with one of the other female wolf demons gossiping and giggling bout little thing when Kouga and Haro came under the waterfall. Kagome ran up to Kouga and jumped into his arms and kissed him on the cheek. This surprised Kouga and he didn't really know what was happening so he decided to ask.

"Kagome what's gotten into you love? You seem very uh anxious and hyper. Did you have a nice time with mom?"

Kagome hopped out of Kouga's arm and ran over to her pelt where she was laying.

"Why yes Kouga I had a great time we found me a wedding kimono and I learned a lot. I know it sounds like school but Karo is a good teacher. I would love to have her at our school."

Kouga laughed and looked over to his mom who was nodding her head in agreement. Haro was carrying a very large boar when he came in so he was gone while putting it up. He was just as stubborn as Kouga. When he wanted to do or have something he never gave up until he had it or it was completed. That's why Kouga was with Kagome at this very moment. He didn't give up on trying to win her heart even though she pushed him away. Even though she was human. Even though she had been hurt and needed to be rebuilt. He didn't care. He just wanted to be with her.

And that he succeeded at finally. Now they would be married tomorrow. Kouga wanted it to be done and over with right now. Because the truth that he didn't want to admit was that he was scared. This didn't happen often and now that it did he wasn't sure what to do.
