Wolf Demon War Kagome Stand's Tall
Chapter 6
The day was young the sun still not yet risen as the morning fog faded from the wolf demon cave entrance. Deep with in its territory the wolf demons slumbered.
Kouga's face tightened as he felt the kiss of cool air blow into his room, his face relaxed as he eyes slowly opened. He looked around his surroundings to see himself setting on the floor. His back pressed against the cave wall by the fire place. Kagome resting in between his legs her head against his chest as she slept Kouga's arms wrapped tight around her.
It took a moment before the memories of yesterday returned. After he struggled to keep his demon blood in check Kagome had comforted him. By embracing him even while he could smell her fear, fear for him. Kouga could still hear her words ringing in his ear. "Oh Kouga I know how you must feel." Kouga gave a heavy sigh the day was upon them and with it came war.
Kouga snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Kagome let out a small sleep filled moan. He felt himself a bit at ease at the peaceful look on her face. Kouga extended his hand up to gently push a stray hair from her cheek.
"Kagome" Kouga thought as Kagome pressed herself tighter against him seeking his warmth.
Kouga quickly shook the thought from her head when he heard the sound of men talking and weapons being sharpened. His men were awake and getting ready to go after the bird of paradise he had to join them. Kouga got his feet pulling Kagome with him holding her bridal style as he walked over to his bed.
Kouga quickly pulled back the furs and silks as he placed Kagome with in it. He pulled the silk sheets and soft furs over her sleeping form. Kouga looked down at her one final time before he walked over to the cave entrance. He had left his sword against the wall. He quickly picked it up and placed it into his fur belt he did not spare Kagome a glance as he was about to leave the room.
"Your leaving?" Kagome spoke from the bed as she slowly sat up looking over at Kouga his back still turned.
"Yea" Kouga spoke in a low voice not turning to face her.
"I see" Kagome looked down at her hands she could not help but feel a bit worried "When will you be back?"
Kouga remained silent Kagome quickly pushed the covers off her as she got to her feet. She walked over to Kouga standing only a few steps behind him.
"You are coming back right?" Kagome asked a bit more worried then before.
"I can't make you any promises" Kouga spoke this time turning to face Kagome looking at her in the eye.
Kagome felt her legs become weak as she saw the look of worry in Kouga's eyes. "Don't say that" Kagome exclaimed.
"I have to go" Kouga spoke turning away from Kagome he walked closer to the entrance when he felt a hand wrap around his. He turned to see Kagome looking at him dead in the eye. "Promise me that you will come back" Kagome spoke in a stern voice she was not in love with Kouga, but she did not want to see him get hurt or worse.
"Kagome I can't-" Kouga began before Kagome interrupted "Promise" Kagome griped Kouga's hand tighter.
Kouga gave a heavy sigh he took hold of Kagome's hands in his as he looked down into her eyes. "Alright I promise" Kagome felt a bit more at ease she gave him a slight nod. Kouga looked down at Kagome's hands as he brought them to his lips. Kouga gently kissed them each one time before releasing her and walking out the door with out another glance.
Kouga stood tall as he walked through the main cave passing his men until he reached the entrance. He turned to face them before speaking "Alright are you ready men!" A roar of both adrenalin and pride rang through out the cave's as the men cheered ready for battle. "Then lets go" Kouga spoke strongly as he lead his men out of the cave and on to battle.
Kagome walked through Kouga's room for a few moments trying to relieve some of her stress. She walked over to Kouga's bed as leapt onto its furs and silks. Kagome laid on her back staring blankly at the ceiling her mind filled with worry. "I wonder if he will be ok?" Kagome slowly started to remember the last time Kouga fought the bird of paradise. That was the day Kouga declared in front of his pack and not to mention Inuyasha.
That she was his and that he loved her Kagome knew his words were not true but, Kagome smiled. As she remembered the look on Inuyasha's face after it happened. Kagome's smile faded quickly as she remembered the king bird of paradise and how it had wounded Kouga's arm terribly. Kagome gasped as she quickly sat up
"That's right! If Inuyasha had never of helped Kouga he would have died!" Kagome jumped to her feet
"I have to help him before he gets hurt!" Kagome mentally screamed as she walked over to the cave entrance. She froze as her memory went deeper "Wait a second that bird of paradise had a sacred jewel shard! That's why it was so powerful but now that the shikon jewel does not exist I wonder if Kouga could beat it?" Kagome thought out loud.
Kagome gasped as she quickly shook her head from side to side "What am I thinking! I have to stay positive! Kouga can take care of himself he should be fine." Kagome quickly turned her heels to the door as she walked back over to the bed and sat down.
Her legs over the side planted on the ground as she gave a heavy sigh. She looked over the room scanning for nothing particular then the cave wall caught her eye. The one she and Kouga had been pressed against last night. Kagome felt a blush spread widely over her face at the memories of how she had acted.
She had never meant to act in such a way but yesterday she felt as if Kouga and her had shared something special. Kagome shook her head from side to side as she remembered the entire reason Kouga had been so kind to her yesterday. He was only using her because he wanted her as his slave and bedding her was the deal.
Kagome had let that thought slip her mind it would not happen again her family meant more to her then Kouga ever would.
Kagome did not know how long she laid on Kouga's bed before getting to her feet and walking over to Kouga's dresser. If she was going to be here all day, she at least wanted something to do. And a nice soak in the hot springs seem like just the thing. Kagome pulled open the dresser to reveal some kimono's but none to her taste. She looked through more dressers until she gasped.
She pulled several kimono's out until she reached the one that caught her eye it was her school uniform. Kagome quickly got to her feet pulling her school uniform with her holding it up to her body. Kagome smiled oh how she had missed her uniform she had so many wonder memories in his outfit.
Kagome remembered when she first got her when Ginta told her that her outfit was not appropriate. Yet Kouga had never seen her in her school uniform. At that moment Kagome couldn't care less she closed Kouga's dressers as she walked over to the hot springs.
The sun was now high over the landscapes of the bird of paradise territory. Kouga and his men fought ferociously from the cliffs as the battle raged on.
Kouga let a fierce growl escape his lips as he delivered a hard kick into one of the birds. Sending it smashing into the side of the cliff. Kouga quickly used his demon strength the leap through the air sailing at another bird of paradise. He used his claws to tare its wing apart its now dead body falling back to the ground where his men fought.
Kouga leapt back to the cliff looking down at his men fighting the large birds. He spotted Ginta and Hakkaku sticking there spears into a bird of paradise on the ground. Then Kouga gasped as he saw one bird swooping down towards them. "Look out!" "Watch out!" He heard his men call over at them. But to no prevail Ginta turned to late as the bird griped him into his claws and began to carry him away. "Ginta!" Hakkaku called as the bird rose higher into the air with Ginta in its claws.
"Ah help!" Ginta exclaimed in fear "Damn it!" Kouga barked he used all his strength as he leapt ferociously after his comrade.
Kouga gave one final leap he soared through the air until he reached the bird using his claws to rip its wing off.
The bird quickly released Ginta as it fell to the ground. As soon as it hit Ginta landed onto its dead body before bouncing off and hitting the ground. Hakkaku ran over to his comrades side "Are you ok?" Hakkaku asked helping Ginta to his feet.
"Uh I think so" Ginta began "Huh wait a minute Kouga-" Ginta began before something struck him in the head hard. "Ow!" Ginta yelled in pain as he turned around to see who had struck him. He turned to see no other but Kouga pulling his fist back from Ginta's head. "You dimwit be more careful next time!" Kouga barked. Ginta gave a slight nod stroking his new made lump that Kouga had placed on him.
Kouga looked over the battle field they had won. There were no more bird of paradise's coming from the sky and the only roar that could be heard was from his men in victory. Still something did not feel right why were there not more? The birds were always in large numbers why so little now? "I don't like this" Kouga thought out loud Ginta and Hakkaku were about to ask him what he meant when they were interrupted.
"Milord Milord!" A male wolf demon ran across the battle to field to reach Kouga. Kouga went a bit wide eyed when the male came to a stop in front of him. "What is it?" Kouga asked "You better come take a look at this!" The male exclaimed he quickly turned away edging for Kouga to follow.
The four wolf demons ran across the battle field until the one wolf that had spoken brought Kouga to a female bird of paradise. It was dieing but it was not yet dead its body laid on the ground the wolf demons gathering around it.
"This one still lives my lord." The wolf demon called Kouga walked up to the bird's main head. It let out an evil laugh blood running down from it's mouth it was going to die soon. "Enjoy your victory while it last little wolf." Kouga narrowed his eyes "If you have got something to say you better say it!" Kouga barked his patients was growing thin. "Fool you believe you have won!" the female bird mocked.
Kouga let a light smirk spread across his lips "Incase you have not noticed all of your little friends are dead!" Instead of the reaction Kouga had hoped for the female bird smiled as well. "Not all of us" Kouga had had enough he quickly bent down as he grasped the females raven black hair.
Kouga pulled himself up taking her up with him the female gasped in pain at how hard he was holding her. "Listen hear you pathetic excuse for a demon! You better say what you have got to say before I rip your tongue out!" Kouga struggled to keep his demon blood in check.
"You wolf's are so stupid! Did you not wonder where are leader was? Or why there was so little of us here?" The female mocked Kouga went a bit wide eyed "What do you mean?" The female remained silent Kouga let a growl of frustration escape his lips. As he gave the female bird a hard pull on her hair.
"Answer!" the female bird smiled "It was a trap you fool! While you and your men are here who is protecting you little children and mate's?" Kouga felt a look of terror spread across his face along with every other male there. The female let out a wicked laugh
"By the time you get back to your cave. Every single one of your beloved children and mate's will b-be dead." With her last breath the female bird of paradise died. Kouga released his grasp on her hair as she fell to the ground.
"Lord Kouga what do we do!" A wolf demon called out at Kouga. "Run like hell! We have to get back to the den!" Kouga barked he and his men wasted no time they ran as fast as there legs could carry them in the direction of the den. But Kouga's gut feeling told him that they would arrive to late.
Kagome let out a sigh of relaxation as she laid on Kouga's bed. "Ah that hit the spot!" Kagome cheered. She had a nice long soak in the hot sprigs and she felt wonderful. Especially now that she had her school uniform on. Kagome sunk deeper into the silks and furs.
"Oh that's right!" Kagome exclaimed as she got to he feet she walked over to Kouga's dresser as she looked deeper into the cloths until she found what she was looking for. "Ah here you are!" Kagome cheered she pulled out nothing more then her socks and brown shoes as she began to slip them over her feet "Yep today is going to be a good day!" Kagome
Else Where In The Wolf Demon Cave's
"Darling you should not try to move just yet" Tanashi tried to coo at her mate Suka. After he spoke to Kouga he was taken to the healers but refused to stay. So they moved him back into his den with his mate Tanashi.
Suka was stubborn though his wounds were serious but he refused to let them slow him down as he tried to sit up. "I am alright my love, now stop worrying." Suka replied. "No your not, now lay down and get some rest." Suka knew it was pointless to argue with his mate so he did as he was asked. "Good now get some sleep while I go get you some fresh water from the stream outside" Tanashi gave Suka a light kiss on the forehead and grabbed a small bucket before walking out of her cave.
She walked for a few moments working her way through the cave's and tunnels until she made her way outside. Tanashi looked over the grassy hills seeing no one else outside. She did not mind the alone time. She walked over to the stream as she quickly dipped it into the water. Filling it up before pulling it back out.
She was about to turn back to the cave when she saw a very large shadow swoop over head. Tanashi froze in her footsteps "Please tell me that was just a really big bird" Tanashi thought in fear.
Suddenly Tanashi saw the shadow return and this time it was aiming lower. The water bucket fell to the ground as Tanashi looked up into the sky but it was to late.
An ear piercing scream was heard through out the entire wolf demon caves then dead silence.
Kagome almost jumped out of her skin when she heard the terrible screaming of someone. "What was that?" Kagome thought a very cold and chilling feeling came over Kagome. Something bad was about to happen.
Kagome quickly ran out of Kouga's room she heard many people talking and moving it was coming from the main cave behind the water fall.
Kagome ran through the tunnels until she reached the main cave she gasped at the sight. Every single female wolf demon and child was there huddling together in the far corner. Kagome pushed her way through the females and children. Until she reached the front she spotted Sango trying to calm the females.
"Sango!" Kagome called as she made her way to her friends side. "Kagome thank goodness you are here!" Sango exclaimed "Sango what's going on?" Kagome asked she was very confused at this moment.
A small gasp of pain caught Kagome's attention as she turned to face the females. Kagome gasped at the sight there laying on the floor was Tanashi. She was surrounded by females trying to tend to a horrible wound on her shoulder.
Kagome quickly made her way over to Tanashi as she knelt by her side. "Tanashi what happened?" Tanashi slowly looked up at Kagome. "K-Kagome?" Tanashi weakly spoke "Yes Tanashi I'm here. Who did this to you?" Kagome asked in worry "Birds of Paradise they are here" Tanashi managed to say through her pain. Kagome felt her eyes widen "Here what do you mean here?" Kagome thought.
Kagome was snapped out of her thoughts when a very large roar came from behind her. Kagome quickly turned around and she wished she hadn't.
"Ahhh It a bird of paradise!" A female screamed "Mommy!" A child cried hugging her mother tightly. Kagome stood in front of the females as they huddled together in fear.
There in front of Kagome at the opening at the cave a bird of Paradise entered. It could not expand its wings because there was not enough room but it could walk on its feet towards them. Kagome gasped as the bird began to walk towards the huddled females hunger in its eyes.
"Those bird must have planed this kill all of us while all the men were at battle." Kagome thought as the bird took more steps forward.
"How delicious wolf's and humans I will enjoy devouring every last one of you!" The bird of paradise smiled revealing its huge razor sharp teeth.
Kagome felt fear all through her body as she franticly looked for some kind of weapon to use against this demon.
Then it caught her eye there on the cave wall was a bow and a quiver with arrows. Kagome wasted no time she jumped at the arrows as she quickly drew the bow. The females stared at Kagome in surprise when she aimed it towards the bird. "Devour This!" Kagome released the arrow sending it flying towards the bird.
The bird smiled wickedly no human arrow could kill him but then his smiled faded into horror. When the arrow became surrounded by a purple crystal light.
It slammed into the bird of paradise purifying it instantly into nothing more then ashes.
Kagome heard all the females behind her gasp in surprise. "A sacred arrow! Kagome you are a priestess?!" Sango exclaimed in pure shock.
Kagome quickly turned to look over her shoulder "Sango take care of everyone! I will hold off the bird's until help comes" With that Kagome pushed the quiver over her shoulder. She held the bow tightly in her hand as she ran towards the entrance. "Wait a second! Kagome!" Sango called after her.
Kagome did not stop though she ran as fast as she could. With out a second thought Kagome jumped through the water fall. Then she was out of site from both the females and Sango.
Out side the cave Kagome ran to the cliff side to look over the landscape. She stood tall on a ledge of a cliff providing her an eye view over the sky.
Kagome narrowed her eyes there was ten maybe twenty bird's of paradise flying in the air coming towards the cave.
Kagome looked into her quiver she had maybe twenty-five arrows so she had to make every shot count. "Alright bring it on!" Kagome thought out loud.
Kagome took a firm stance as she drew the bow holding the arrow tight. She aimed at the closets bird of paradise before releasing. The arrow swirled with its purple purification light as it came swirling into the bird. "Bull's-eye!" Kagome cheered as the bird disappeared into nothing but ash.
"Alright next one coming up!" Kagome quickly drew the bow again and aimed for another bird of paradise.
Kagome fired arrow after arrow at the birds she hit every time. But every time she fired and arrow she felt weaker and weaker she was using a lot of strength not to mention spiritual energy.
Kagome wiped a bead of sweat from her brow there was maybe five birds of paradise left. "I can do this!" Kagome mentally spoke.
She aimed for another bird of paradise when she suddenly saw a shadow fly over her. Kagome froze she was terrified to look up but she did. There swooping above her was none other then the leader of the birds.
And jewel shard or no jewel shard he looked exactly the same just as large as before. With two heads on top of his bird like body.
Kagome tried to aim the bow up but her body was paralyzed with fear as she looked up at the huge demon.
"Look brother a human!" One head spoke to the other "I know image how nice she will taste!" The other head called to its brother.
Kagome could not move she did not know what to do. Then the leader of the birds began to swoop down towards her.
Smash!
Its large fangs sunk into the cliff side Kagome jumped with all her might at the last moment from its way.
Kagome hit the ground hard as she laid on her side her bow in her hand but her arrows smashed and broken besides the two she had held in her hands.
The bird of paradise rose from the ground as it looked wickedly over at Kagome. "You will regret that!" One head called over.
The bird took a few steps forward coming closer to Kagome. "Kagome!" A voice called from the cave. Kagome gasped as she saw a large spear being thrown from behind the water fall. Aiming straight for the bird of paradise unfortunately the bird saw it and flew into the air at the last moment.
Kagome turned to see who had came to her rescue. With in the blink of an eye no other then Sango leapt from behind the water fall and ran over to Kagome's side. "S-Sango!" Kagome exclaimed getting to her feet only then she noticed Sango was holding a sword.
Sango quickly ran over to Kagome's side "Kagome are you alright?" Sango asked taking a few steps in front of Kagome. "Yeah I'm fine. Sango we have to stop those flying demons" Kagome exclaimed "Yea I know how many are there?" Sango asked looking into the sky. "There are five not counting the leader" Kagome spoke narrowing her eyes at the alpha bird of paradise flying by his minions.
"Ok lets show this over grown turkeys what we can do!" Sango spoke walking over to where the spear had landed. She quickly picked it up and took hold of it tightly as she took a battle stance.
Kagome watched the bird's of paradise very carefully as she took a few steps back. "Kill them all!" The leader bird of paradise called. In the blink of an eye two bird's of paradise began to swoop down towards both Kagome and Sango.
"Kagome run to the cliff see if you can hit the others with your arrows!" Sango called.
Kagome turned to face Sango in worry "What about you?" Sango narrowed her eyes as the birds reached her. Sango skillfully leapt out of the way as she delivered a hard kick into the face of the birds.
"I will be fine just go!" Kagome did not waist any time she quickly ran over to the cliff side she took her arrow in hand as she aimed for another bird.
Kagome narrowed her eyes to ensure a hit as she released the arrow. It hit with in the blink of an eye purifying the bird instantly. Kagome quickly drew her bow again but hesitated this was her last arrow.
"Kagome look out!" Sango warned Kagome snapped out of her thought "Look out for what?" Kagome thought but then suddenly from behind her the alpha bird of paradise swooped down with out a sound.
Kagome quickly tried to jump out of the way as she was falling to the ground the bird razor sharp claws clipped her side slicing it open in a large wound.
Kagome screamed in pain her body slamming into the ground as the blood began to stain her white uniform. The bird lifted back into the air to admire its work it had barley missed her.
As soon as Kagome hit the ground her body began to roll from the blow then it was to late Kagome rolled right off the cliff. On her last reaction Kagome grabbed hold of the ledge holding her body up from the forest below.
Kagome bit down hard on her teeth at the pain running though her. She could not hold on much longer. "Kagome!" Sango called she tried to run over to her friend only to be blocked by the two birds she was fighting.
Kagome felt tears roll down her cheek as she closed her eyes not wanting to look her strength was slipping. "Someone help me!" Kagome thought
Kagome felt her strength give out on her as blood continued to pour from her wound. "Anyone Please!" Kagome let out a gasp of pain her eyes still closed then slowly Kagome's hands began to slip from the cliff side.
Then her hands caved in as she began to fall "Inuyasha!" Kagome called out.
Kagome's body jerked hard when she felt someone grab hold of her wrist and begin to pull her up from the cliff side.
Kagome felt herself placed on solid earth again while someone wrapped there arms around Kagome's waist and placing her head onto there shoulder. Supporting her body and sitting her up. Kagome slowly let her eyes open though her vision was blurry from the blood loss. "Are you alright?" A male voice asked softly. Kagome froze "I know that voice!"
Sango used all her strength as she sliced through her last bird demon as she ran over to Kagome's side. "Oh Kagome thank goodness your are ok! Thank you so much ...Miroku!" Sango called kneeling down by her friend. Kagome's eyes shot opened "Miroku!" Kagome practically screamed. Miroku kind of jumped at her reaction Kagome quickly pushed away from the monk as she stood up despite her aching pain.
"It can't be..I mean...You...and how?" Kagome tried to speak she was in pure shock. Sango noticed her surprise "Kagome I will explain everything later right now you need to go into the cave! Your wound is serious me and Miroku can handle things here." Sango spoke both her and Miroku getting to there feet.
Kagome snapped out of her shock when she felt a shot of pain go through her side. She flinched as she placed a hand over her wound trying to stop the bleeding. "Kagome!" Sango exclaimed placing a hand over Kagome's shoulder.
Kagome quickly pushed away. "No I'm alright" Kagome spoke she quickly searched for her bow and arrow. She spotted it near her feet she quickly picked it up then walked a few feet ahead of Sango and Miroku.
"I'm going after the leader you and Miroku hold off the other birds." Kagome spoke sternly her mind would not be changed.
Sango sighed heavily. "Alright" Sango looked away with a heavy heart back to Miroku. "Are you any good in battle?" Sango asked Miroku gave a slight nod. "Alright then me and you against three demons" Sango glanced over at the birds. "Ready?" Sango asked "As I'll ever be" Miroku sighed he should have just stayed in bed.
Kagome pushed her bow over her shoulder as she held tightly to her arrow. She began to scale the cliff wall if she was going to hit that bird she had to get higher.
Kagome gasped in pain when more blood was pouring out as her vision was becoming very blurry she was sure she was going to faint soon. Kagome ignored the pain rushing through her. Kagome looked down at Sango and Miroku they were fighting the three last birds. "Its up to me to protect everyone" Kagome continued to scale the cliff going higher and higher up every step.
Then after what seemed like forever Kagome reached the top she pushed her body on the ledge where the water fall began. Kagome quickly got to her feet she had a wonderful view of the sky.
Kagome took a strong stance when she saw the leader bird rise over the ledge and gild about seventy feet in front of her.
"Foolish girl this cliff will be your final resting place!" Both brothers called as they began to soar down towards her.
The sun slowly began to set its bright rays casting over the almost breathless Kouga and his men. The den was coming into sight Kouga increased his pace running over the cliff sides until the main den's water fall came into sight. Kouga froze there on the ground was two dead birds of paradise.
That Sango woman standing over them with some male human. Kouga was about to march over there and demand what the hell was going on but, he was snapped out of his thought by one of his men.
"Look Kouga isn't that your slave?" Kouga looked up at the top of the water fall. Kouga gasped "Kagome!" Kouga exclaimed "What the hell was going on?" Kouga thought.
"Oh my god look at the size of that thing!" One male called to Kouga. Kouga froze there coming towards Kagome was a huge bird of paradise. "Kagome!" Kouga yelled he took off running towards Kagome in and effort to stop the attack.
In that moment for Kagome time stood still she looked down at Sango and Miroku her dear friends fighting for there lives. She heard the cry's of the wolf pups and there mothers from inside the cave begging for there mate's and fathers.
Kagome raised her bow she placed the arrow carefully before drawing it back. Kagome felt a rush of energy burst through her and pulse into the tip of the arrow. The entire arrow began to glow with her crystal light "All these people" Kagome pulled the bow back tighter the energy rushing through her. Her heart pounding "They mean so much to me"
The bird drew closer only about twenty feet away. Kagome's mind began to fade into her past. The first time she embraced Inuyasha, She and Sango talked about her liking Miroku. Shippo sleeping by her side at night like her own child.
Then the memories of her talking with Tanashi laughing with Sango. Kouga holding her at night just like Inuyasha did. Kagome felt her entire body pulse she was overflowing with spiritual energy.
The bird of paradise mere moments away from Kagome. Then Kagome eye's pulsed with crystal light. "I Will Protect Them All!!!" She released the arrow sending it flying into the mouth of the demon bird.
BOOM!!!
A blast of purification energy blew the demon into many piece's sending wave after wave of spiritual power into the sky.
Both Kouga and his men froze in there tracks at the sight above them. "Amazing I've never seen anything like it!" His men called after there leader Kouga stared up at the sky in amazement.
Kouga snapped out of his trance when the smell of fresh blood caught his attention. Kouga looked up at the top of the cliff to spot Kagome.
"Kagome!" Kouga called up.
Kagome slowly let the bow fall out of her hands and hit the ground. She looked over at the sky the birds of paradise were all gone. In that moment Kagome felt her entire body begin to tremble. Her vision was becoming blurry and the pain from her wounds was becoming unbearable.
Kagome took a few weak steps towards the cliff ledge as she looked down she spotted Kouga looking up at her. Kagome gave a weak smile the blood from her wound came out faster as it fell to the ground Kagome did not care. Her body was so heavy her eyes so sleepy her world was becoming black. "K-Kouga..you came back" With that Kagome's eyes closed her legs gave way as she began to fall from the ledge.
"Kagome!" Kouga called he ran as fast as he could as he gave a strong leap into the air he quickly caught Kagome. As he sailed back down to the ground. Kouga felt the earth beneath his feet as he looked at the woman in his arms. She was unconscious and wounded.
Kouga looked down at her wound "Shit!" Kouga quickly brought his hand over the cut applying pressure. "Kagome! Kagome!" Kouga shook Kagome trying to wake her. Her entire body was freezing "Kagome! Don't You Dare Die On Me You Stupid Girl!" Kouga yelled down at her.
Kouga turned back to his men "Get the healer now!" Kouga barked as he pressed Kagome's wound harder. "Kagome! Kagome!" Kouga yelled.
The darkness of night slowly began to settle in as the now cool hair blew through the hair of Kouga pacing outside the main cave.
After Kagome was taken to the healer Kouga left her in the tribe's healers capable hands. He walked outside hoping the breeze would help calm his nerves, but all he seemed to do was pace back and forth in worry.
He took a deep breath it had been almost two hours and the healer still had not come out to speak with him about Genome's well being. He was begging to get very agitated as he paced faster back and forth.
"What the hell is taking so long?" Kouga barked out loud. "What was she thinking anyway! Trying to take on the demon by herself she could have been killed!" Kouga walked faster. "How stupid could she get! Why didn't she wait till I got there?!" Kouga paced even faster.
"You keep walking like that and you are going to leave a hole in the ground." A female voice called.
Kouga froze in his tracks as he turned to see who had spoken only to see Tanashi walking out from the entrance of the cave. Her arm was pulled up in a sling where she had been wounded just like Kagome.
"Tanashi? What are you doing out here?" Kouga asked. "I was coming out here for the nice cool air but since I saw you I think a nice coversation will do just fine." Tanashi gave Kouga a warm smile before walking over to the cave edge and sitting down hinting for Kouga to join her.
Kouga hesitated for a moment before joining her. "How is Suka?" Kouga asked breaking the silence.
"He is fine his wounds are healing nicely" Tanashi replied "I see" Kouga looked down at his hands this was a bit uncomfortable.
"And Kagome have you heard anything?" Tanashi asked Kouga went a bit wide eyed as a flash of anger roes with in his eyes. "No that damn healer wont tell me anything!" Kouga barked.
Tanashi went a bit wide eyed at his sudden anger but a smile slowly faded on to her lips at the look on his face. "You are worried about her" Tanashi spoke more of a statement then a question.
Kouga quickly looked over to Tanashi smiling at him "U-Uh No! No! I just don't want to have to go through the trouble of finding a new servant" Kouga said in a bit of shaky voice looking away from the still smiling demon.
Tanashi look up into the night sky the moon was almost full it was beautiful how peaceful it was. "Kouga you know Kagome fought so bravely today" Kouga looked over at Tanashi smiling up at the moon. "Yea your point?" Kouga asked.
"What I mean is she protected every one us females and children would not be here right now had it not been for her. She is very powerful, smart, brave, and very beautiful, and all of the pack has come to adore her after her bravery today. Any man or any demon for that fact would be lucky to have her as a mate."
Kouga narrowed his eyes at the words mate and demon. "What are you getting at?" Kouga asked.
Tanashi looked over to her leader with a large fake smile. "Oh nothing just forget about it" Tanashi quickly got to her feet as she began to walk back into the cave.
"Hey wait a second!" Kouga called after her but to late she had already vanished into the darkness of the cave.
Kouga quickly got to his feet as he looked up at the night sky the moon was nearing completion. "Stupid woman... Mate Kagome as if I could ever do that" Kouga thought out loud. He narrowed his eyes a bit before looking back down at the ground. "No she is a slave nothing more..." Kouga told himself still something didn't feel right why did those words bother him so?
Kouga snapped out of his thought when he heard footsteps coming from the cave entrance he quickly turned to see who it was.
He saw no other then the tribe's healer she was an elderly woman with much knowledge on medicine herbs and moments.
"Healer!" Kouga exclaimed as he walked his way over to the elder demoness.
"Healer how is she?" Kouga asked referring to Kagome. The elderly woman smiled up at Kouga before replying "My remedy's have done well to close her wounds. She has regained conciseness if you should desire to see her" Kouga didn't waist any time he walked swiftly through the main cave and to the healing chamber.
Kouga walked through the cave's until he reached the entrance to the healing chambers. It was a small door covered by a bamboo matt. Kouga quickly pushed past it when he froze in his tracks at the sight. The room was lit by torches and a very large bed of hay in the center of the room. On the bed of hay sat Kagome she was indeed awake but she was unaware of Kouga's presence in the room.
Kouga looked her over from the room entrance she wore very strange cloths. But Kouga paid more attention to her stomachs and chest she was not wearing any clothing her shirt had been removed. The only thing covering her stomach and breast was the healers bandage wrapping.
Kagome sat up right on the hay holding her side where she had been wounded. Kagome flinched when she felt a shot of pain from her wound.
"Kagome!" Kouga called in worry at the look of pain on her face. Kagome froze as she looked up at the door way to see who had called her name. "Kouga? Kouga!" Kagome exclaimed forgetting the pain of her wound.
Kouga quickly made his way over to Kagome as he knelt by her side. "How do you feel?" Kouga asked looking down at her side. "Fine Thanks" Kagome gave him a light smile. "Can I bring you anything?" Kouga asked trying to be helpful. "No I'm fine really" Kagome tried to reassure the wolf beside her. Kouga narrowed his eyes a bit now that she was awake and doing ok it was time for a talk.
"Kagome..."Kouga began in a stern voice Kagome looked up at Kouga wondering what he was going to say. "What the hell were you thinking going after that bird alone!" Kouga barked that caused Kagome to flinch a bit in surprise. "You should have waited for me to get back and not do something so reckless!" Kagome narrowed her eyes in return.
"Well excuse me for helping out!" Kagome shouted back. "Your just a weak human I don't need you to help out!" Kouga yelled.
Kagome's mouth dropped a bit before she shouted back her reply in anger. "Well this weak human just beat the leader of the birds of paradise no thanks to you!"
"I could have killed that bird with out any help from you!" Kouga remarked getting frustrated by her come backs. "Your such a jerk! Why did you even bother to come see me if all you are going to do is yell! And besides I can take care of myself" Kagome exclaimed feeling her face become hot from all the shouting.
"Oh right like you took care of yourself today! Don't you get it you could have been killed and I would have not been there to save you!" Kouga barked angrily.
Kagome went a bit wide eyed when she saw the look of frustration on Kouga's face. "You were worried about me" Kagome said in a much softer voice.
Kouga's eyes widen at the look of softness on her face. He quickly got to his feet turning his back to Kagome. "Why does every one keep saying that! I wasn't worried about you I just don't want to deal with buying a new slave! You are a handful as it is"
"Kouga..." Kagome smiled Kouga had a small blush on his face that made her smile bigger.
"Lord Kouga" The healer spoke entering the room hold new bandages and some ointment in a small clay jar.
Both Kouga and Kagome turned to the elderly demoness "Yes what is it?" Kouga asked blankly. "My lord it is time for me to change your servants bandages." The elderly woman spoke walking over to Kagome.
Kagome began to blush slightly she was not really comfortable disrobing in front of this strange woman. Kouga sensed her discomfort as he walked over to the healer.
"As leader of this tribe I have been taught simple healing methods like applying ointment and wrapping wounds." Kouga declared the healer turned to Kouga getting the meaning behind his words. "Very well my lord I shall return when you are done." With that the healer gave Kouga the jar of ointment and bandges before leaving the room. Kouga gazed over at the healer to make sure she was gone before Turing his view to Kagome.
Kagome looked up at Kouga a bit surprised "What you do that for?" Kagome asked a bit confused at his actions. "Isn't it obvious I will be the one wrapping your wounds." Kouga spoke walking behind Kagome before sitting down on the floor placing the ointments and bandges beside him. Kagome gasped when she felt Kouga's claw slash through her wrappings releasing her breast for him to see. Kagome quickly grabbed what was left of her bandges and covered herself.
Before quickly turning to face him a huge blush spread across her face. "What do you think your doing?!" Kagome exclaimed over at the still calm wolf prince.
"What? I could tell you didn't want to undress in front of the healer. So I am taking her place to put you more at ease now relax and get back over here." Kouga said calmly "If you could tell I didn't want to undress in front of the healer then what makes you think I want to undress in front of you!" Kagome yelled back Kouga. "Jeez I don't know maybe because I have seen you before!" Kouga barked back in a sarcastic voice.
Kagome's gaze fell to the floor a bit in shame. Kouga immediately regretted yelling at her he gave a heavy sigh "Look Kagome I wont even look I promise so just relax before your wounds reopen." Kouga said in a bit of a worried voice Kagome looked back over to him.
"And if you sit in front of me like your supposed to I can't see anything so c'mere." Kouga spoke kind of begging as he gave her a slight smirk.
Kagome felt the blush on her face grow larger her wounds were starting to hurt from all the shouting. Kagome gave a heavy sigh as she made her way back to Kouga. She sat in front of him her back turned as she allowed her hands to fall from covering her breast as she pushed the old bandges aside. Kouga smiled a bit in victory as he looked over Kagome's body.
Her wounds were not that bad minus the large one on her side many humans would not be able to move for a few days after a blow like that. Yet here his little servant was just as feisty as ever Kouga admired that.
Pulling away from his thoughts Kouga dipped his fingers in the jar of ointment. Its green sticky substance on his clawed hand as gently as he could Kouga began applying the green goo on Kagome's cut's his fingers gently tracing over her naked skin. Kagome felt a chill run up her neck at the gentle touch of Kouga applying the medicinal cream.
"Am I doing it to hard?" Kouga asked smoothly in Kagome's ear feeling her body tense and tighten. Kagome felt another blush over her cheeks "N-No it's fine" Kagome shuttered under his touch.
After Kouga finished applying the ointment he took the bandges in his hands as he slowly began to wrap them around Kagome's curviest waist.
Kagome managed to keep herself calm until his hands reached her breast. Ever time he wrapped the bandges around her naked skin his clawed hand teased her breast. Kagome shut her eyes tight at the sensational feeling running through her body.
Kouga's hot breath tingled on her neck his hands teasing her body Kagome felt her body tense her breath's coming in shorter and shorter.
Her aching body did not go unnoticed by Kouga. When Kagome felt Kouga finish treating her wounds she gave a sigh of relief it was over or so she thought. Kagome gasped when she felt Kouga wrap his arms around her pulling her back flat against his chest. "K-Kouga!" Kagome started Kouga paied not mind to her as he took in her wonderful sent of cherry blossoms in full bloom.
"Kouga what are you doing?" Kagome asked Kouga smiled to himself "Wait and see" Kouga spoke hotly in her ear. Kagome felt a light moan escape her lips as Kouga slowly pulled aside her hair revealing her neck and shoulder.
Kouga smiled down at the naked skin before being his lips down upon it. Kagome gasped in surprise as she felt Kougas lips trace of her shoulder then begging working up to her neck and ear. "K-Kouga" Kagome spoke softly Kouga made his way to Kagome's ear before he began teasing the bear skin with his teeth and tongue. Kagome let out a slight moan at the wonderful feeling running through her.
"You like that?" Kouga whispers between kisses he worked his way down to the curve of her neck letting his hot tongue dance around her naked flesh.
Kouga began to tease Kagome with his teeth before slowly sucking on her sweet tasting flesh. Kagome gasped as Kouga worked back down to her shoulder leaving Kagome her first hickey. Kouga hot wet tongue continued to glide over Kagome's skin. Kagome moaning in his embrace becoming lost in his hot touches.
"Lord Kouga" The healers voice called from behind the bamboo matt covering the door. She was on her way back to retrieve Kouga when the sent of passion and arousal caught her nose. She did not want to intrued and burst in on them so she remained behind the matt out of sight.
Both Kagome and Kouga snapped out of there trance of passion at the sound of her voice Kagome quickly pulled herself free from Kouga's embrace. Pushing her hair over her shoulder coving her skin from Kouga's sight. Kouga let out a sigh of frustration "Just when it was getting good" Kouga thought as he got to his feet. "Yes what is it?" Kouga asked dully.
"My lord you have a visitor" the healer spoke still from behind the curtain "Visitor? Tell them to go away I am busy" Kouga ordered hoping he could return to his previous actions with Kagome. "But My Lord it is a leader of the western tribe he wished to speak with you" Kouga eyes widen a bit "The western tribe? What could he want?" Kouga thought outload.
"He did not say only that he wishes to speak to you" Kouga sight "Fine I will be there shortly" Kouga announced "Very well" As the healer left from the door frame back to the main cave.
Kouga walked over to Kagome as he knelt down in front of her Kagome quickly looked away from his gaze a blush spread over her cheeks. Kouga smiled over to her "We will continue this later" Kouga announced as he cupped Kagome's chin forcing her to look up at him. Kouga brought his lips down to her as he gave her a warm kiss on the cheek. Before getting to his feet and leaving the room and Kagome to her thoughts.
Kagome watched him leave as she gave a heavy sigh "Yet again he wins" Kagome sighed before laying down on the hay she smiled to herself. She was not sure why but she felt happy and in a much better mood as she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Kouga walked through the tangled webs of tunnels and caves until he reached the main den. He halted as he saw a male wolf demon leaving against the cave walls his arms folded over his chest.
He wore black fur shin guards like Kougas and a black fur skirt. He wore no armor only fur that ran over his shoulders kind of like Ginta's. His hair was spiked and short for his facial features he had dark brown eyes that gazed over to Kouga staring at him.
"Ha I'll be damned if it aint Kouga!" The wolf called over to Kouga walking towards him. Kouga gave him a slight smirk. As he walked to meet him "Takashi long time no see!" Kouga exclaimed both males extended there arm up as they cupped each others hand tightly flexing there large mussel's in a warm greeting. Kouga pulled his arm back from his old friend.
"So Takashi what bring you all the way from the western cave's?" Kouga asked "What no fond talks about the good old days just straight to business? Good to know you have not changed over the years Kouga." Takashi smiled warmly at Kouga.
"We can talk about are memories later So why are you here?" Kouga asked again "Well my first intension was to come down just to see how you were then I heard about you victory over the birds of paradise so I put together a surprise for you." Takashi smirked brightly "Surprise? What kind of surprise?" Kouga asked "I decided your men and you need to cut back and have a little fun. I sent word back to my tribe they will be here in the morning and tomorrow night we shall have a large feast in your tribes honor." Takashi smiled at Kouga's reaction
"What? Feast why did you not consult me before you go inviting you pack over here?" Kouga asked a bit surprised and aggravated .
"Relax Kouga that was the surprise part. Beside when is the last time you cut back and had a little fun?" Kouga remained silent "Come on think about it! Your not matted and tomorrow night you can have non stop food, saki, and not to mention woman. I've got some pretty good looking girls in my tribe. And beside's when is the last time you got your ugly self laid?" Takashi teased as he placed his arm over Kouga's shoulder.
Kouga thought over his options "Oh Come on do you really need to think about it?" Takashi sneered "Alright Alright One night that's it" Kouga gave in "Wonderful! I'll see you in the morning then" Takashi smiled as he released Kouga from his grasp.
"Oh what the hell one night wont hurt" Kouga thought to himself Kouga smirked at the thought of getting drunk watching beautiful woman dance around a huge bomb fire. "This should be fun"
