We arrived at the wolf den an hour after sunset. Koga skidded to a halt in front of the pond outside the entrance.

I was shaking, my head was spinning & my leg throbbed from being thrown around like that. Then I thought of something, we had to go through a waterfall in order to get in. My cast could NOT get wet. I started panicking.

"What's wrong Kagome?" Koga asked, hearing my heart racing.

"My cast can't get wet, it'll fall apart if it does!" I cry, as he walked towards it.

Koga stopped, "Damn, well maybe we can dry it off before it effects it too much." He tried.

I nodded, knowing that it would come off anyway.

Koga ran through the waterfall, & stopped on the other side, looking at me anxiously.

I looked at my leg, & my heart sank, it was drenched in water, & no amount of drying would help it to stay together.

"Oh no…" I whisper, as a piece plops on the ground.

"I'm sorry," Koga said, walking to the back of the cave.

As soon as we had appeared all the wolves & wolf demons had rushed forward to greet us.

"Little sister! You've come back!" "What's that thing on your leg?" "You're home!"

Many of them swarmed around us, until Koga shouted at them.

"Get lost guys! I'm glad to see you all but she's hurt & we need to get some rest alright?" he yelled, pushing through the crowd.

"She's hurt?" "Who did this?" "I'll kill 'em myself!"

I looked at Koga, "Thanks a lot bud, now they'll never let us go…" I mumble, then wince as someone bumped into my leg.

"Hey! You heard what I said! Back off now!" Koga yelled into the crowd.

I give a sharp cry as someone else falls back onto my leg, twisting it.

"Kagome are you okay?" Hakkaku asks, standing concerned by Koga.

"I'll be okay thanks Hakkaku." I respond, gritting my teeth against the pain as Koga walks us to his bed.

He set me down on top of it, sitting down with me.

"So what happened to your leg Kagome? What's that say? 'Sorry about the leg, even if you can't walk again, I'll still love you, -Hojo…" Ginta trailed off, as he read Hojo's message that he had written on my cast, in big letters so everyone would know about it.

Koga eyes start to turn red, "WHAT DOES IT SAY?" he roared, moving in front of it so he could read it himself.

"It's nothing! That boy won't take no for an answer! Ever since I came to this era I haven't thought about him like that! It's more annoying than sweet but my friends don't seem to get that…" I say, trying to calm Koga down.

He growled, calming down just enough so that his eyes weren't as red.

I leaned forward, kissing the tip of his nose, surprising us both. I had felt a very strong urge to comfort him in anyway I could think of, & that was what came up first. "Are you calmed down now?" I ask, his expression going back to normal.

"Define 'calmed down', I'm not angry, but now I'm not exactly calm either," he smirked.

I glared, "That's disgusting Koga, maybe next time I'll just smack you," I said, turning away from him.

"Hey! I'm sorry, but it's hard to control myself when I'm around you, okay Kagome?" he asked, taking my face in his hands.

"Umm, we're just going to…"

"Leave now…" Ginta & Hakkaku said nervously, leaving us in private.

"Are you not angry anymore?" I specified, so as not to get another perverted answer.

He nodded, moving his hands down to my neck, gently messaging where my neck connects to my body.

I leaned against his warm hands, letting my head drop down.

"Are you tired?" he asked, stopping.

I nodded weakly, my eyelids drooping.

He chuckled, "Alright then we can get to bed now." He said, standing up & taking off his armor & leg/arm warmers, leaving only his single fur pelt. He looked at me expectantly, "Well?"

"Well what? I don't have anything to change into," then I realized what he was really asking, "No! I'm not gonna get nearly naked in bed with you! Neither am I going to get totally naked either!" I exclaimed, crossing my arms.

He smirked, "Well I didn't think you take off all your clothes, but I can give you something to change into." He said, handing me a folded dress that he brought out from seemingly nowhere.

I took it, unfolded it & gasped. It was almost exactly like the white deerskin dress only it was brown with white dots all over. It was incredibly soft too & was as supple as well worn leather.

"Oh my god, this is beautiful! Thanks Koga," I said, staring at him expectantly. He got the message & left.

I took off my skirt & shirt, & unhooked my bra. I studied the dress again before I slipped it on, the soft skin slipping over my skin like silk. I felt like I was wearing a cloud.

"You can come back in!" I called, lying back on the pelts of soft fur.

"Wow, that looks better than I thought it would on you." Koga said, walking in & laying down next to me.

I smiled, "So where did you grab this dress from? I didn't see any shelf…" I asked.

"Oh, well… you see I carry it around with me…"

"Why?"

"Because it belongs to the mate of the Western Tribe's Alpha…"

My eyes narrowed, "Oh really? What makes you think I'll become your mate? A dress won't make say yes."

"I want you o be my mate because I love you, why don't you love me?"

I soften, "I do love you, but I'm not sure yet whether I want to spend the rest of my life with you…"

"As long as you do choose me, I can wait as long as you need me to,"

"That's sweet, now; I need to get to sleep Koga…"

KOGA'S P.O.V.

I watched her fall asleep in my arms, her beautiful face relaxed & peaceful as she breathed deeply. I sighed, when was she going to realize that she loved me as much as I loved her?

I looked at that thing around her leg, it didn't seem to be protecting so much as dragging down, since it was going to have to come off anyway, it might as well be now.

I reached forward & slashed through the odd substance covering her leg, taking it off & allowing her long legs to stretch a bit. Her long white legs looked silky against the brown dress. Kagome sighed in her sleep, turning over.

Oh crap…

She gave a soft cry as she sat up, she had twisted her leg & the pain had woken her up. She looked around, then tried to stare at me through the darkness.

"Koga? What are you-? Did you take off my cast?" she asked, panicking.

"Yea, it was gonna have to come off anyway, I mean it wasn't protecting you anymore, so I decided to take it off," I said, moving closer to her face.

She blushed, then jumped slightly when I put my hand above her knee, "You know, if I marked you, then your leg would heal faster…" I said casually.

"Really? But what do you mean 'mark'?" she asked, too clever for her own good.

"Let me show you," I said, leaning close to her neck.

"Uhh, sure…?" she said, making the statement sound like more of a question, then she felt my lips on her neck.

I pushed her down on her back, laid down next to her, bringing her torso on top of mine, her neck near my mouth. I could hear her racing heart. She didn't say anything though, so I continued, putting my lips back on her neck.

"This is going to hurt," I said, warning her not to cry out.

She nodded, & I bit down, my fangs piercing her skin. She stiffened, & then nearly cried out as the wound became white-hot as I pushed energy through. I covered her mouth as the energy spread through her body, speeding up the healing in her leg. She began to relax as the pain in her leg began to ebb away. I licked the blood away, pulling back to get a look at her face.

"Wha-? What did you just do?" she asked quietly.

"I marked you, giving you some of my strength, you now hold some of me in you, just as I hold some of you in me, you're my mate." I said, smiling even though she couldn't see it.

Her heart picked up, "No! I told you I wasn't ready! I still haven't decided whether or not I love you like that! What have I done?" she nearly wailed, I covered her mouth.

"We'll talk about it in the morning okay? Your leg should be healed by then." I said, giving her soothing emotions through our bond.

She began to relax, & fell asleep again, not waking up when I began to give her more energy to heal her leg, healing it almost to perfection. When it was almost done I laid down next to her, wrapping my arms around her small body & bringing it closer to mine. She sighed & moved her arms around my neck, resting he head in the crook of my neck. I smiled, she did love me, she just didn't fully realize it yet.
