"No it's fine; I need to see what his problem is." Rose stomped off to the direction of that cranky, mean dude. She walked up to him, "You've been awfully rude all day and I don't appreciate it very much. I'll stay out of your hair so we shouldn't have a problem. But you insist on acting this way, why don't we have a quick spar? First on the ground wins. If I win you have to stop treating me this way." Everyone laughed and the man stood up with his fists out. Rose sighed; "Okay let's get this over with." Rose is light on her feet and can easily predicts her opponent's next move making it easy for her to dodge. He want throw punches left and right but Rose dodged everyone with great speed.
He tried to kick her but kicking moved just enough to miss it then Rose quickly ducked and swung her legs in front on her knocking the demon down. He just sat there looking at her with an angry look on his face. Everyone around them laughed and joked around that he got beat up by a girl and saying how fast she was. Kouga just laughed along with them, "You shouldn't of gave her a hard time today! Then she wouldn't of done that." Kouga just chuckled and went back to what he was doing.
Rose had no interest in staying around any longer after she proved her point. Rose went to the farthest source of water and took off her clothing and armor and took a bath. After her bath she got out and got changed and went away from the wet area and cuddled up to Kiba trying to get warm and dry. Once Rose felt dry enough she checked to see if anyone was around, then transformed into a wolf and ran as fast as she could alongside Kiba. She use to do this all the time with her friends back at home. The south air was always cold and dry, allowed fires more dangerous and most of the time it was snowy so the warmer air felt nice.
Rose and Kiba ran and played for a long time until they started panting, then decided to run back and sleep at the top of the mountain with the other grey wolves. It was time to give Kouga back his den; he's been kind enough already and I'm sure he misses it. Rose went back to her human form before anyone could see her. Transforming in front of someone usually meant you were really close, family, or mates.
Rose Ran up to Kouga as he was passing by and let him know that she wouldn't have to be in The den anymore, and that would she be sleeping with the wolves outside until she made other sleeping arrangements. Kouga had to ask, "Was it necessary to embarrass one of my comrades this evening? And how did you avoid every attack?" Kouga laughed. "I had to find away to get respect for myself because no one is going to get it for me. I've gotten really good at knowing my opponents move before they made them." Kouga nodded his head, and then turned around to his den while giving a quick wave. "Cya later" it sounded like he said.
Rose just went back up and lied down with Kiba and all her other wolves. Kouga on the other hand could barely sleep, 'The scent of Rose is everywhere as it is just so intoxicating and indulging, how on earth will I sleep now? How dare I think such thoughts! What about Kagome?!' He attempted to shake away these thoughts and get some rest. Morning came and Rose was so sleepy she slept in a bit. That was until Kouga came to let her know he was going out on daily patrols. He went up, and in the middle of all the grey furs, was a very sleepy wolf demon.
He went over to her very quietly, and went to shake her. But she all of a sudden grabbed his hand and held it against her cheek. Kouga just gasped and softly tried to pull away. But in his failed efforts woke her up. She just slowly and lazily opened her eyes. Her lavender colored eyes shimmered in the sun. She looked up at Kouga, then down in her hands seeing his hand, then up at Kouga again. Kouga was waiting in anticipation for Rose next move. "Uhm. Kouga, how long was I holding your hand?" Rose said sleepily, slowly letting go of his hand. "Uh...not too long I guess." Kouga slightly blushed.
Rose slowly sat up and started rubbing her eyes. She blinked twice as looked back at Kouga "So, did you want something?" 'I almost forgot!' Kouga thought, "Oh yeah, I'm going on patrol with Ginta and Hakkaku, did you want to come along? We can show you around more?" Kouga asked while standing up. "Sure, why not" Rose stood up and lightly kicked Kiba waking her up. Rose and Kiba followed Kouga down the mountain to meet up with Ginta and Hakkaku. Once they met up they said they're good mornings and started walking down the mountain side. As they were walking down the hillside talking and laughing away, Rose sensed something. She immediately stopped and looked around and saw something shiny in the trees.
Ginta, Hakkaku and Kiba started stopping and walked back towards Rose. "What's wrong? Come on, Kouga will leave us behind!" Rose never left eye contact with the mysterious shine in the trees. Then all of a sudden a dagger was thrown right towards Ginta and Hakkaku, but before it could reach them Rose's quick reflexes kicked in. Rose ran and used all of her body to push them away from a blade rushing by. She barely made it in time. The blade just skinned behind her back. As soon as the dagger hit the rock wall it made a sound of a small explosion, dust and rocks went flying everywhere.
Ginta and Hakkaku had no clue what was going on, Rose decided use the dust as a cover until they could try to distance themselves. She grabbed their hands and ran as fast as she should "Run! There's something in the trees! Don't stop running! Hurry!" She yelled as she let go of their hands and let them run by themselves and Kiba also stood close to Rose's side. As they descended down the mountains Kouga heard a loud bang and started running back up. Kouga stopped to intercept the group but when he stopped to ask Rose just grabbed his hand and kept running. "Kouga hurry! There's someone in the trees, they tried to hurt Ginta and Hakkaku, he has a wicked aim so don't stop moving!" Rose yelled. Kouga couldn't say a word; he just stared at the blood running down to Rose's hand. He felt infuriated and his blood boiled with rage, 'Who ever did this...is going to die.' Kouga thought was clenching his teeth.
They finally made it to the tree line, "You guys stay hidden I'm gonna kill that bastard!" Kouga yelled while turning into a cyclone and disappearing into the woods. "Ginta, Hakkaku don't move, stay hidden okay? I'm going to make sure Kouga is okay. Oh and I'll be needing this." Rose said while grabbing a spear from Hakkaku's hand. "Kiba!" Rose called, they ran side to side and eventually Rose got on and they also disappeared. Ginta and Hakkaku did as they were told and stayed put, they both wondered if letting Rose go was the best decision. Kiba was running as fast as she could, she could just feel the waves of nervousness spilling off her master.
Before they got there Rose told Kiba to wait there and stay hidden because this person was tricky and fast. She snuck up ahead to see how the battle was going. Kouga was trying his best trying to hit this little guy; it was pretty fast and had his daggers in his hand he was slashing around. It was pretty hard to hit and dodge at the same time. Rose saw them both trying to hit each other as they went from the tree to the ground. This was a demon no bigger than Kouga, his skin was all green and his skin was all covered except for his eyes.
He was wearing all black and had little daggers all in his belt and hand. Rose quickly analyzed his movement, and then as soon as Rose knew, she grabbed the spear and threw it fast and hard and it skinned the top of his shoulder and he stopped in shock and with that little opening Koga punched him hard in the face and sent him into a tree. Rose grabbed one of the daggers in the ground and when he was up against the tree trying to regain himself, Rose threw the dagger right in between his eyes, giving him the final blow.
"What the hell!? I told you to wait and hide! What if something happened?!" Kouga yelled shaking her shoulders. "I refuse to stand by and be helpless, if I can help I will! And I will not allow you or anyone here to get hurt either, I've seen enough bloodshed." Rose explained. "I'm sorry I didn't listen okay..." Kouga turned her around and looked at the cut. Then hugged her close and sighed, "I'm glad your okay, it should heal by tomorrow." Rose slightly blushed by this sudden embrace. Kouga let go of her and felt relieved. "We should go tell Ginta and Hakkaku they're safe to come out now." Kouga stated while walking towards the guys. Rose called Kiba out and they walked close behind. "Kouga!" They both yelled while throwing themselves on Kouga. "Get off me you knuckle heads!" He pried them off his body. Rose just giggled and quickly stopped when they all stared back at her.
Then Ginta and Hakkaku ran towards Rose "Rose are you okay?! Thanks or saving us back there! If it wasn't for you we'd be goners!" They also would of hugged her but Kouga was gave them a frightening glance. Rose just laughed as rubbed they're heads, "Don't worry about it!" Ginta and Hakkaku were up ahead laughing and running around, Kiba, Rose and Kouga were behind walking beside each other. Once they got there everyone ran to them asking about what happened, Ginta and Hakkaku explained while Kouga took Rose to the den to check out her wounds. Rose sat on the bed and asked "How does it look? Can you pass me a wet cloth?" Kouga nodded and passed her a wet cloth and watched her with a worried expression.
Rose wondered 'How long does he plan to sit there, was he seriously going to watch? I guess I'll see how far this wolf was willing to go.' Rose tried pulling the strings behind her armor but couldn't reach it, "Kouga can you untie it? I can't reach..." Rose said still trying to reach it. "Sure of course." She pulled her hair out of the way revealing her neck, shoulders, and the lace. He untied it and watched as the armor fell down a bit, but the front armor stayed on because Rose held it there with her arms. she blushed, she figured he would of left once he untied it. She couldn't complain,' He is absolutely gorgeous and he's a strong, loyal caring leader of the wolf demon tribe, who wouldn't lust for his affection? But no one needs to know my little secret.' Rose thought to herself.
Before Kouga knew it he started washing the dried blood off her back with the cloth. Rose clenched her fists, the cut hurt, and she didn't get cut often so she wasn't use to the pain. Kouga noticed this and when he was done he wanted to see how far she would go. He brought his face to her cut and carefully licked it across. With every lick more of the pain would go away. Rose was blushing furiously now, and she let her body relax. Kouga caught up in the moment and getting bolder, gently licked and kissed up her back, then up her neck giving her the chills.
He smirked when he saw her getting little goose bumps. Rose couldn't help but to close her eyes and give out a small moan of pleasure.
Kouga kept going up eventually reached her ear. He sighed, and then whispered "You sleep here for the night." He turned and walked away. 'Even If I did plan to go further, I can't do that to kagome. I'll have to tell her.' Kouga that to himself. Rose was just left on the bed in total confusion, but decided to sleep.
'Yeah as if Kouga would like me, ha… that would be such a dream.' And with those last thoughts, Rose fell asleep. Kouga on the other hand couldn't really sleep, he was with Ginta and Hakkaku and they kept saying things like "Why were you with Rose ALONE in the cave?" "What took you so long?" "What were you guys doing in there?" "We thought Kagome was your woman!?" Kouga just punched them both on the head and went to bed before they could embarrass him further.
Rose woke up feeling pretty great; her body was a little sore from the day before. 'Ugh, I should start exercising more so I won't get sore all the time.' Rose lazily got up and stretched, then slowly walked outside the den and washed her face with the water. Ginta and Hakkaku went to go sneak up on her, they thought it would be funny to scare her because Rose is always out of it in the morning.
Before they got to touch her, "What do you want Ginta and Hakkaku? Perhaps you guys wanted to get a morning stretch too? I know the perfect way." Rose glanced back and smiled an evil smile. Ginta and Hakkaku jumped back and had a frightened expression on their face. "Kibaaaa" Rose sang out.
