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

Chapter 9: The Kiss

"Kagome I can run for the most part when we get to the land of the leopards we should walk so I can sense if one of them is coming." Kouga put Kagome's arrows on his back and held her in his arms. For about 45 miles Kouga ran and it was quite quick as the sun was right above them meaning it was midday. They began walking and Kouga handed Kagome her stuff.

"For the next 10 miles is leopard land and we need to get through here before night fall." They walked in silence, but Kouga held onto Kagome's hand. "I smell something."

"I sense something from the north west." They both walked cautiously Kagome now had a bow ready.

"Oh now you two you shouldn't be afraid not of a kitty cat like me." The voice came from a tree and then hopped down a female leopard. She had a tight dress made of a snow leopard that matched her tail. She looked like a regular girl for the most part all but she had a patch of leopard spots on her temple. Her hair was a light brown and had a bit of wave. "Unless you make me mad." She then bared her teeth and claws then tucked a piece of hair behind her pointed ears.

"We just need to get to the mountain," Kouga wasn't pleased to see a leopard so early.

"Oh do we now wolfie, why should I let you." Her green cat eyes glared as she hissed.

"We really don't-"

"Oh what a beauty we have hear the prince would love her." Out of no where the leopard was next to Kagome, and it made Kagome shiver.

"We-"

"Oh gosh wolfie so protective I'll let you go, but you better watch in a few miles you'll have the prince in your way, and my brother likes his women." The leopard was gone. They sighed for now, but nervous of what was to come. The wolf prince kept a tight grip on Kagome's shoulder as they went forward. The sun was beginning to get low when they could see the mountain even though it was still a while to go. They could tell they only had a few miles left in the land of the leopards.

"My, my, my a beautiful woman and a mangy wolf of the east. You travel in my forest to get to a mountain. I need something though if you want to make it out alive." Out came a handsome leopard. He was a bit taller than Kouga and had a bit more muscle. His hair was a white almost blue color and came to his shoulders. His eyes were a chilling yellow and he were a black armor plate with a snow leopard cape and skirt that made his tan glow. He had leopard ears placed like Inuyasha's and leopard spots swirled around his right leg left arm and from his temple to his chin on each side of his face.

"Are you the prince, and a," Kouga paused and sniffed. "A half breed."

"Yes my father loved a woman dearly and she birthed me, but the tribe didn't want her around so they killed her and he found a mate in my sisters mom a full demon."

"What do you want?" Kagome asked, and he smirked walking a circle around the pair.

"You're quite beautiful, how about you let him go on the journey and become my princess, and soon to be queen." Kagome rolled her eyes she didn't understand demons obsession with her. Kouga growled a bit in response. "Oh wolfie do you love this human girl? And yet you question me being prince and half breed. Wouldn't you guys have a prince who is a half breed?"

"I have approval to have a half breed son. I have a fox son to be as it is!" Kouga growled louder and Kagome tensed so he stopped.

"And your people are okay with that?"

"Yes they understand that true love is a real concept!"

"How about you beautiful. You love him? You will be his mate soon? Or is he just assuming? I bet he has claimed you and not let you say a word? I'd never do that. I'd wait for you."

"Get in line I have been waiting, I'm done dealing with mutts and fighting I know Kagome and I are meant to be!" By this time Kouga stepped away from Kagome his eyes were red and his nails a bit longer. He lunged at the leopard, but he dodged quickly.

"Oh little big bad wold uh oh I made you mad, and yet the woman has not said a word she must not love you like you think." This made Kouga look back at Kagome and she could see pain past his anger.

"Back down Prince of the leopards!" Kagome said as she had a purified arrow ready. She walked in front of Kouga who went back to normal.

"Oh a miko? Just answer me do you love the wolf?"

"I have to answer nothing!" She notched back the arrow a bit more.

"You should move on wolf." With that he lurked away. They were pretty silent most of the time that they went on. They walked hand in hand but you could tell they were both nervous after their encounter. They made it to the base of the mountain at sunset. Kagome got fire wood as Kouga went to get dinner. He found a river and caught fish knowing it was Kagome's favorite he used his sword to clean it up and gut it. He also found a hot spring and would remember that. When they got back he ate his raw as Kagome cooked his.

"I found a hot spring back there if you want to bathe in the morning." Kagome just nodded as she readied her sleeping bag.

"Do you want to lay with me Kouga?" He smiled and laid down wrapping his arms around her testing to see if that was okay and she didn't protest just tucked her face in the crook of his head. "Thank you." It was a small whisper and he smiled he really didn't know what it was for, but knew it was good.

"I will always wait. You will always be my choice." Kagome smiled then a chill found it's way to her and she shook a little. Kouga just pulled her closer and let his tail lay on her.

"You shouldn't. I'm not worth-"

"You're my one love Kagome the only one who will ever come in my life." He made her look him in the eye and then he took the chance he leaned in and kissed her and she didn't reject. After pulling away he leaned his forehead to hers. "Forever yours, will you be forever mine?"

"Forever yours." It was such a light whisper even he almost didn't hear it. He took this time to pull her back into a kiss and climb over her. She put her hands in his hair as he kissed down her neck.

"I wish I could mate you now." he whispered in her ear and that's when she realized this wasn't a dream like she thought.

"Kouga I'm still not sure." her voice was shaky so he immediately got back to where they started.

"I', sorry I read this all wring let's just go to bed." his voice was laced in depression. 'I love you Kouga, but this is all just crazy to me.' Kagome fell asleep in the warmth of his arms.
