Well I decided to write by reading some old stories on here. If you think I'm an awful writer just don't read this, if you actually like this please tell me so I continue. I'm trying to stick to characters, but I know it'll be a little weird. ALSO I DON'T own InuYasha

Oh also I'm sorry if things seem sketchy and not completely put together, but I promise just stick with it! :)

Chapter 6: The Messenger

It had been a week after the wedding when Kagome finally was approached by Shippo about this 'Blood Bond' she had heard him and Kouga talking about over the full moon.

"Kagome, do you really want to always be my mom?" Shippo asked and Kagome nodded. "Then we have to share a blood bond before my 11th birthday, which is in 8 months."

"What does a blood bond involve?" Kagome smiled wanting him to truly explain.

"Well we each have a small cut on our hand and then we hold them to each other so then our blood is literally bonded I don't know much more than that Kouga knows a lot, he's in his cave." Kagome nodded and walked to find Kouga. She walked into his cave to see him setting up a fire in his cave.

"Kouga, I want to know if you know something about blood bonds." Kouga knew this was coming and he sighed directing Kagome to sit with him on his bed of furs.

"Well if a kit or pup wants to leave his family to pursue another he must be blood bonded before his or hers 11th birthday. For a young demon it's when they test their skills in front of their elders, and after that are sent to their parents. For the elders to know who cares for them they must feel it in the blood of said kit or pup. If two people are to blood bond with one young one then they must be mated before hand, or everyone else that has ever been an important figure in their life will just be an aunt or uncle. If you decide to mate after adopting they must be new to the kit it's the way demons work." Kouga sighed and could since a break in Kagome's soul.

"Oh." Kagome looked at her lap biting her lip.

"Kagome I know you asked, because I am a father figure to Shippo, but if by the time it's a month before he's 11 and I haven't proved as a worthy mate then I will step down to an uncle figure, so you two can stay around. I love the little Kit, I love you." Kouga made sure to look her straight in the eye while talking and it made Kagome smile.

"You have 7 months to prove the wolf you can be." With that she left. 'Did she just... This will be a long seven months.'

"Prince Kouga there's a visitor for you." Hakkaku said and Kouga could hear the edge on his voice. Kouga walked out to the main den to see a certain wolf he didn't ever want to see again.

"Ayame, why are you here in the East?"

"I have came to take my prince to become a King to my Queen, we can rule the north together-"

"If I changed my pack then I would change my true colors I am NOT interested." Kouga fumed. The woman was meant to move with the male, and when they mate if from different packs would change to their new packs color. In the east they were shades of brown, North they were shades of white, South had black, and West gray. It was a disgrace for a male to change colors.

"Then I'll become your queen here!" Kouga growled 'Why do you come back?'

"Ayame I'm a father to be." Kouga smirked.

"But do the elders know?!"

"I'm not mated I'm just to adopt, and be for I do I'll mate his to be mother."

"Where's the pups real mom?"

"Kitsune, he's a kit." With that Shippo ran in and hopped on Kouga's shoulder glaring at Ayame.

"I'm called by my father-"

"He's not your father till he blood bonds and before then you'll be mine!"

"Boys get her filth away from here!" The prince called for her to be thrown out.

"Thanks kid-"

"What's the status on mating?"

"I've got 7 months! What do I do?" Kouga sighed as he started walking with Shippo on his shoulder. He needed fresh air Ayame was just making him on the edge.

"You wow her!"

"But how?"

"hmm... just be yourself and quick before Ayame gets some kind of way in here... I will not share you with her!" Kouga laughed as they sat on the edge of a cliff. The cave wasn't really in danger since the birds of paradise were ran off.

"Don't worry I will never let her."

"Kouga, I've never really heard you talk about your parents, can you tell me about them?"

"Well since I'm old enough to run the tribe they retired to the north as King and Queen of the East, a lot of rulers live in the North, because it's 'royal' area. That's why the white wolves are from there. White wolves are known to be the purest, most intelligent, and strongest leaders. Now the demons aren't always that, but if you bare white, you're probably that of the most royal. The wolf world has a King and Queen of each sector. They become Queen and King after the successors have died, which isn't until they're pretty old, unless they're battle wolves. Now the King and Queens sons and daughters become the princes and princesses and the first to be mated would be the first to take the thrown. My mother and father live in the north as King and Queen, because my father's parents died early from a big battle. The East wolves are know as warriors. I will never move to the North though, because these wolves are my family. It's complicated son." Shippo just nodded, Kouga seemed so passionate, and Shippo loved to watch him talk like that.

"I'll understand one day, now what if you never mate?"

"Then I would have to name someone as the new prince or princess. I'd choose Ginta, Hakkaku, or even Yuri, but I mean she is already going to mate Hakkaku, so I think they kicked Ginta out of the running." Kouga laid back to look at the orange sky as the sun began to set.

"Why do you have this all planned out?"

"Because before all of this wish happened I didn't think I had a chance in the world mating my girl." They both laid there until they heard a wolves howl. "That's a northern wolf." Worried was sketched all over Kouga's face. He picked up Shippo and was off to the cave. When he got there he saw an interesting sight.

"Hmm... A human, no, a miko in the eastern caves. She's pure, but has the smell and look of wolf all over her yet no mate mark, wait that isn't the smell of any wolf... but my- my Kouga." The wolf demon who circled Kagome wore very light brown furs with gold armor plating, she also had a fur cape instead of shoulder pads that hit her mid thigh right below her skirt. Her hair was a beautiful blonde that you didn't see a lot around here and it curled to her waist. Her tan skinned sparkled and glowed, but the blue eyes were dead on those of another wolf demon.

"Mom, what brings you east?"

"Can I not just visit my son?" The beautiful woman hugged the handsome prince.

"You can, but is that all?"

"Well no there's much more to this visit, but I need to know, who's the beautiful miko? She smells of you." She had the same smirk as him and even stance placing her hands on her hips and popping out a knee.

"Kagome, oh yeah Kagome this is my mom Komachi, or Chi for short."

"Ah Ayame has mentioned a Kagome saying she's ruthless, hates children, a horrible cook, and tortures wolves. This could not be the same woman seeing as she also says this Kagome is uglier than a troll!"

"Hey don't talk to my ma like that!" Shippo hopped from Kouga's shoulder to Kagome's arms. Chi smiled at the little kit.

"What a cute fox, but Kouga must I ask are you turning this den to a place for all? You know I'm all for sharing and I love all-"

"Mother, can we talk in private?" Chi could see the serious glare her son was giving and gave into his request, especially since she had big news for him.
