Mayla- Sounds wonderful. Hmm, I like her. Cat demon? Oh, is he ever going to have his hands full. Fighting like cats and dogs, (Shakes her head.)

Rena Moon- No problem, I like your story. Hmm, I like this story and the ideas are fresh in my mind, so it should update pretty quickly. Like their first meeting huh? (Laughs.) So, do I , so do I.

Unspoiled Rini- Kiba plushie?! Evil girl! (Laughs.) Take no offense, I have made a plushie of each one myself. Kiba's my favorite, but I absolutely adore the pup Toboe, so Cute!

As for Mamoru, not to many people do who read or write crossovers so don't worry about it. Me? I don't care on way or another.

Queen Diamond-Ah, I was just kidding, I don't mind. It just shows you were concern enough with the fanfic to point out Bunny's name pun. (Smiles.)

I hold no ownership over InuYasha or Sailor Moon.

The riverbed past by quickly as his feet pounded the ground leading him to where he heard the music again. Kouga reached the area he was yesterday to see the girl perched again on the rock with the flute to her lips. He crouched down low, and strained his ears and nose to fully accept the color, sounds, and sweet scents of this world. A new melody was be played and he held his breath in anticipation.

Serenity laughed as her pack frolicked in the grass. Her hand was nudged by Dante who held her wooden flute carefully in his muzzle. She shook her head, and retrieved the flute from his mouth, bringing it to her own. "Alright, but you can only stay for one, and then you must hunt." Serenity told him and Dante's head bobbed in response. She chose their hunt song to bring good fortune and thank the wolf god for provision. The song held an under tone of strength, and its baritone notes filled them with adrenaline. As the notes finished, Dante rushed off his paws beating out their own rhythm as he lead the hunt. Serenity sighed and dipped her feet into the river, she could not go on the hunt. Dante had become far more protective as Serenity got older due to the fact she was without a mate and at that tender age. Raising her flute back to her lips, she thought of the stranger of yesterday and she subconsciously began to play. The notes were crisped, taunt with anticipation and curiosity as she wondered about the male wolf youkai. Her eyes slid close lost to her thoughts and the music.

Kouga watched as the pack ran off probably to hunt. The song the she-youkai had played left his blood pumping, it was the song of the hunt. Most knew it in howls, but to put it music brought other worldness to it, summoning new strength to an already imposing song. His heart beat in response when he saw the constrained gaze on the female. It was one denied of something they wanted and lived for. Still, Kouga understood, the alpha was remarkably protective of the small woman. It was the time for a mate for the young female, and that brought his thoughts back to Kagome. His tears began building, and he felt his heart darkening, but a note of strength went into him as she began to play. Kouga breathed a silent thank-you to the female, and crept closer this time aware of the underbrush. Soon, he was across the shallow bank standing in the water before her. He was ever so careful to not disturb the water that surrounded her feet. Kouga wished not to frighten her and alert her to his presence.

Serenity's fingers danced, her senses completely relaxed into her playing. However, she felt her heart beating quickly, summoning her to open her eyes. Sapphires appeared and pierced frosted skies that loomed close to her. Serenity dropped her flute and leapt back, watching as the stranger reached out. She let out a small whimper, before it turned into a growl. Serenity almost felt sorry when she saw his eyes flash with sorrow. Still, he had intruded her territory without permission, and to stand so close to her was strange and forbidden. Yet, though a strong akeala, Dante had warned her away from strange wolf youkai. Especially, the 'pup', that had shown up yesterday, Serenity readied to shift shape. However, she also suffered terribly from curiosity especially about young males of her tribe. Dante warder all away from her when she reached the year of the sixteenth Lunar Rainbow Moon. As the akeala she was to be careful of all interaction of young males. While puzzling over her situation, said male was approaching.

Kouga observed as her sapphires peered into his eyes, and she leapt away from him. Dropping her precious treasure, her flute and responding to her instinct of fleeing. His sharp ears caught a small whimper and he reached out to her. However, he drew back as she growled, and he felt his slow heart painfully clench. Still, he was surprised when all her action stopped and she stared into space. Kouga watched as her eyes flamed with curiosity, and he could of chuckled. Admitting that would wake her, he walked closer to her. Her scent was pervading the air, and his subconscious released a small growl. She was a female of the tribe and his wolf knew, acknowledging openly with a growl of interest. Kouga bit back a sigh of anger as he watched his growl awaken the immobile female.

Serenity was close to giving in to her curiosity for once when a new sound reached her ears. It was a growl, a soft comforting one, but a growl none the less. Her thoughts were brought harshly back to reality as she saw the young male standing a few feet from her. Serenity bit her lip, he was standing there with such a weird gaze on his face and was ready to deem him harmless. However, at the last second she saw a flash of anger and she panicked. Quickly, her form melted and she let out a snappish growl before bounding off. She heard quick steps following her and she used her fear to fuel her speed energy.

Kouga, eyes flashed in anger at disturbing the female. Unaware that his eyes revealed that anger and she took it the wrong way. Sorrowed, when he saw her take her wolf form, but growled and gave chase. There was no pack to stop him from learning of the female! His wolf genes making themselves known and he took after the fleeing form. Kouga's run was halted when a heavy body hit his, pushing him down. He refocused his demonized eyes of bleeding gold onto the very angry eyes of black. Kouga let his anger pulse warning the opponent to let him up. He watched as the eyes pulled back revealing the familiar face of the gray alpha. Kouga's instincts kicked in, urging him to fight so he could chase and capture the female. The alpha would have none of it, and lowered his open muzzle closer to Kouga's jugular. A growl of heavy warning thundered from the alpha, and Kouga lost himself to his youkai wolf. It was now a survival fight, and Kouga responded violently. He rolled his shoulders, unbalancing the alpha male and tossing him to the ground. Staying on all fours, he locked eyes with the gray and leapt toward him. His claws were out and poised for a lethal strike, but a smaller form knocked down his.

Serenity had stayed after she heard the footsteps stop and a heavy thud. Turning around she saw Dante tackle the young male and stay perched on his chest. Observing the angry and protective motions of her companion as he lowered his muzzle threateningly over the male's throat. Her silver eyes noticed the golden ones of the male and she moved closer. Serenity began to panic as she saw her companion thrown off and the bloodthirsty gaze of the stranger. Not thinking as she saw the stranger leap at Dante she shifted back into her human-like form and insert herself into the male's side. She knocked him down, landing on top of him pinning him beneath her smaller form.

Kouga was growling at the interruption, had they no clue of the rules of battle? A younger male challenging an older one was their way, and to insert oneself in a survival fight was even worst. However, when a sweet scent entered his nose, his golden eyes withered away revealing his calm blues. They locked with angry, determined sapphires and Kouga knew something was wrong.

Serenity saw him stop fighting, and softly sighed. She was filled with an uneasily relief as his gold tinged eyes return to their blue. She glared at him, warning him what she would do if he force himself to attack her pack again. Assuming he understood her order, she got up and away from him. She watched him look around and a despondent gaze come over him. Serenity sighed in relief as she saw his apologetic gaze, and nodded her head to her pack to allow him to stand.

Kouga glanced around when the female released her hold on him. He saw the scuffled alpha grey, and caught the angry gazes of the rest of the pack. A quick look to his hand covered in the alpha's fur registered in his mind, and he nearly choked. His eyes grew sadden as he realized what had happen, he had nearly harmed, no not harm, kill the alpha. He sent an apologetic gaze, and observed as the female sighed ordering off her pack. Kouga stood, very aware of the tension in the air as the pack drew around the female.

Serenity felt her pack draw around her, giving her strength, protection and comfort. Her limped hand that normally held her flute was pushed up by a gray head. She smiled softly as she felt her companion's head, and she drew her body to her proud height. "Leave." Serenity commanded. "Leave here, I give you my word none shall attack." She told him, her hand burying into to Dante's fur. Serenity was again hit with a pang of sadness as she saw him solemnly nod and turned to go. Her heart had twisted at the countenance on the young male, and she felt herself nearly following him. Still, she stayed her ground, and watched him walked back the way he came.

Kouga adhered to the order and turned away his face contorted in pain. He heard an uneasy step, and flicked an unnoticeable glance over his shoulder. Kouga had caught her despair gaze and softly smiled. So, she had a soft heart, and he had caught her eye. "I will try again." he softly vowed as his feet past her rock. His eyes caught on a wooden object and he bent down to retrieve it. His smile transformed into a smirk, it was her flute. "Until then, I think I'll keep this." Kouga muttered triumphantly, he had a small reminder of the female. Cradling the flute in his hands he rushed to his cave so he could examine his small treasure in private.

Serenity sighed as she saw his form vanished. All of her pack and her walked their territory, re-marking it, and strengthen their bounds. When she reached her rock, she searched for her dropped flute. Panicking when she could not find it, creases in the grass revealed where it had lain. She bended closer to the ground and found knee like marks and the strong scent of the stranger. "He took my flute!" Serenity informed her pack, her arms crossing her chest in a child-like pout. The pack let out a united howl in response to their akeala's pain. "I want my flute!" She cried out childishly and marched back to her cave to pout.

Kouga reached his cave and curled into it, his hands tight against his chest. The flute was held against him in joy and his tail swished once in joy. His grey world was slowly being colored and he had the female's main treasure. Kouga laid down placing the flute near his head angled to his nose so he could have her scent even in his sleep.

Evil Kouga! Stealing Serenity's flute! As if Kouga's actions are going to help him get him in good graces with Serenity and her pack. Attacking Dante, and nearly harming him critically. Tsk, tsk, like I said, it is definitely not going to be easy for him. Before you even ask, Kouga has a form like Sesshomaru does, and yes it responds to intense emotions. Wolves are also emotion filled creatures, and no matter how heart broken Kouga is, his wolf will respond to situations that is inherent in him. Besides music soothes the savaged soul, and in his normal personality I could see him playfully taking Serenity's flute. Well, I hope that will help the inevitable question. Please enjoy, and please review.

Much Care.
