Hey everyone~ This chapter is a bit more heated so uh, careful children. XD
"We heard that your Kouga's mate!" Someone shouted out. Rose just remained quiet as she stared into the crowd, "WHAT?!" She shouted beginning to get all flustered.
Someone else said "when he went to go get you after you went to see Kagome he called you his woman!" "He said that!? Am I the only one that didn't know?" She asked with her hands on her head. "We guess so!" They replied as they giggled. Rose just backed up against the wall and looked up thinking about her deceased family in the south. "That means you're going to be part of the pack sis!" They all ran to her and hugged her. Rose was only half there, but they all rambled on about a ceremony and the packs gathering.
By the time Kouga got back it was already night, everyone cooked and ate the food, and as usual everyone was in their own little groups, and Rose would go to each one to hear about all of their stories and adventures. Finally rose started to get tired, she couldn't stop yawning and rubbing her eyes. "Sorry you guys, but I'm going to sleep now." Rose said while rubbing her eyes and walking away, they all said goodnight and waved.
Rose walked to Kouga's den and lay down, there were only torches so you couldn't see that well, but luckily for wolf demons they had night Vision. Rose laid down and thought 'Kouga won't mind if I sleep here right?' Then with that she fell asleep. Kouga just finished eating and was going to find Rose, but when he looked around he couldn't find her. He walked over to Makoto, "Hey Makoto, have you seen Rose?" He pointed back to the main den and sent Kouga on his way. Kouga creeped in to go scare her, but when he got close enough she noticed he was sound asleep.
Usually her wolves were around her keeping her warm but this time they remained outside as if they were rebelling against her. 'Oh Rose, you fell asleep before wrapping yourself in the furs, you must be cold.' He took off the armor on top of her furs and he put more furs on top of her to keep her warm. He soon took off his armor and went under the furs and he just turned towards her and watched her sleep, her eyes slowly opened, and she sleepily looked at Kouga "Kouga I'm sorry I fell asleep in here. Kiba was being really weird today."
"Your always welcome in my bed Rose, and I'm sure Kiba was just cranky today, she'll be better in the morning." He smirked; rose just slowly raised her fist and lightly punched his chest. Then she wiggled herself deeper into the furs, "are you cold? Come here." Kouga asked, he just heard her mumble something as she snuggled as close as she could to Kouga and laid her face on his chest. "So warm..." He used his arms and pulled her close and placed his chin lightly on her head. Rose fell asleep and soon, Kouga did too.
They woke up to a bunch of hollering, barking and growling. They both got up Ina. Panic and Rose quickly ran outside to see what was happening. The southern wolves were all fighting! It was the smaller ones fighting with Kiba. Before anyone saw Rose she transformed into her wolf form and quickly ran to them. Even though there were 4 wolves against Kiba it was clear who was still winning. 'I can't let Kiba hurt them... not because she's having a fit!' She thought as she rushed over. Everyone watched as a wolf they didn't recognize ran into action.
Immediately Rose sided with the smaller wolves and she and Kiba walked around in a circle violently growling with eyes never leaving each other's. Finally Kiba lunged for the smaller wolves but before he could reach them Rose lunged for her knocking her over and grabbing her fur with her teeth they both made vicious growling sounds and as Rose held onto her she was quickly overpowered and Kiba also bit her knocked her over and Before Kiba could inflict much damage Kouga came running in wolf form and lunged for Kiba knocking her far back.
Everyone recognized Kouga and soon realized who the other wolf was. Some of them knew who she was to begin with but the others weren't sure. Kouga stood over his mate protectively and growled extremely loudly and by that growl everyone silenced down and knew that Kouga was pissed. Kiba that was now all beat up with some blood in her fur, was still growling at Kouga, but backed off and walked away into the woods, she didn't have much of a chance, Kouga was known for speed and Rose was clever when fighting, she knew once Kouga and Rose were serious it wouldn't end well for her. Kouga faced Rose and licked her face and Rose got up and walked over to the cave transforming back into her humanoid form with Kouga following her lead.
Rose wiped the blood off her mouth with the back of her hand as she growled in anger and frustration. "What were you thinking Rose? Kiba is huge! What if something happened!?" He yelled at her while she began putting her armor back on. "What did you think I was gonna do!? Watch as what's left of my old pack fight!? Kiba never did this before, she's just upset!" Rose yelled back. They were quiet for a moment, then Rose slightly lightened up and smiled sincerely at Kouga "Thanks for coming to help me Kouga, it was sweet." Kouga blushed furiously and then took a deep breath and softened up as well.
He smiled and walked over to her hugging her tightly. She hugged him back and nuzzled his chest then slowly pried herself away and softly said "I'm going for some air." He let her go and watched as she walked out of the cave, he
Knew she was upset by what was going on. Rose grabbed her throwing knives and continued walking towards the woods. 'I'm going to practice throwing these around a bit on the trees to get my mind of things.' She thought as she took a deep breath. She reached the tree line and started practicing, she would toss the blades very quickly nails the center of the tree each time, then she started hitting multiple other trees. All of a sudden Ginta popped out from the trees and just as Rose was about to throw the knife towards his direction she stopped before she let go and yelled "Ginta! You can't just sneak up on me like that! I could have killed you!" Ginta just chuckled and rubbed the back of his head, "Sorry sis! I just wanted to tell you that I saw Kiba running into the woods."
Rose just stared at him for a moment then decided to ask him a question. "When was this?" "Uh...about an hour ago." He replied. Suddenly he felt a very frightening aura coming from Rose. He slowly back up as she laughed and said "Hey Ginta...I'm having a rough day, how about we play a game?" She asked as she smirked devilishly. A drop of sweat went down Ginta's face, and he shivered as he gulped. "What kind of game?" He nervously asked scared of what the reply would be. Rose leaned up against a tree and casually explained the game while trying not to scare him away "all you have to do is stand PERFECTLY still, you cannot move a muscle!"
"Uh...ah, can I say no?" He nervously asked, still feeling afraid of her wrath he tried not to provoke her further. "This game is absolute, no negotiations shall be made." She smiled. Hakakku looking down from the edge of the cliff above was curious to why his brother looked so afraid. He kept on eye on them until suddenly he saw Rose stiffen up and slowly turned her head towards him. He's never seen her so serious before, it was frightening. The look in her eyes was so intense that he felt frozen in place, stuck staring into those eyes that made him feel like he stepped in the middle of a battle field. Rose decided to break the silence and ask "Hakkaku, did you also know Kiba left a while ago? Did you also forget to inform me just like your buddy Ginta here?" She used to thumb to point behind her where Ginta was standing.
Hakakku looked over at Ginta wondering what he should say when he saw Ginta shaking his head really fast and making a big X with his arms desperately trying to tell Hakkaku to say "no." After watching Ginta do crazy hand signals Hakkaku finally understood, and slowly shook his head as a reply. "Oh alright then." Rose shrugged, Hakkaku slowly turned around to leave but Rose sent him off with a last message. "You're safe for now Hakkaku, tell Kouga to come see me once he's not busy." Hakkaku replied with "He's never too busy for you Rose." He turned his head to smirk her way then he quickly left to get Kouga. After Hakkaku left Rose turned around to the scared stiff wolf demon. "Back to our punishment game Ginta!" She giggled, "Okay...wait.., punishment!?" He shouted in shock.
"Okay, you stand in the middle of the tree, and whatever happens, do not move an inch." She carefully instructed as she watched him walk to the assigned tree. He decided to ask a quick question, "What happens if I move?" Rose listened to the nervousness of his voice. "You don't want to lose an ear do you?" Rose teased as she used her best innocent face. Ginta straightened up and started nervously sweating, 'What is she going to do?' Ginta thought while he watched Rose retrieve things from off the ground. His eyes widened in disbelief when he saw that she had multiple throwing knives in her delicate little hands.
"Think of this as a test of courage! Don't be afraid Ginta!" She encouraged, "I never miss... Trust me Ginta." She said as she began to concentrate, she slowly lifted up and knife to begin to throw and Ginta shut his eyes as hard as e could and tried his very best to not shake or move in anyway. Rose threw the knife and it hit right by his arm. Ginta opened his eyes in terror and then as he saw her raise her arm again he shut his eyes. The next knife struck above his head cutting a bit of hair. Ginta opened his eyes and decided to watch as the next knife was thrown. He sighed in relief as he saw Hakkaku and Kouga approaching, but none of them attempted to stop Rose as she lifted her arm to throw the next knife.
Kouga watched nervously as the woman he loved threw knives towards his best friend, just barely hitting the skin, but he wanted to see what she could do and he wanted to see how things would play out. Hakkaku notice the deadly aura seeping off Rose was now gone, and she was calm, yet focused. Hakkaku gulped as she began to prepare for the next knife. Ginta was watching and because he was watching, when she threw the next knife it was right by his ear. He accidentally jumped just the slightest little bit and that caused the knife to skin the side of his ear. Ginta put his hand up to his ear and when he looked t it there was blood, but not a lot. "Oh my god I'm bleeding! Kouga why didn't you stop her!?" He desperately asked as he ran over to his friends.
Kouga just ignored his over dramatic friend and went to straight to Rose who was gathering the knives. "Hey beauty just because you're having a tough day doesn't mean you get to scare the day lights out of Ginta." He leaned up against a tree and crossed his arms. Rose who was crouched down, stood up and tucked one side of her hair behind her ear. She looked at Kouga with her innocent eyes and as Kouga was off guard, she threw two knives towards him extremely fast causing Ginta and Hakkaku to panic. Kouga closed his eyes tight, when he opened them one knife had his fur on his shoulder pinned and the other shoulder was also pinned, making him stuck.
He frantically looked at each shoulder and said "Hey Rose what the hell was that fo-" He stopped mid sentence when their eyes connected; the wind was slightly blowing her brown, wavy hair. She smiled seductively and slowly walked over her eyes never leaving his. Ginta and Hakkaku decided this was their cue to leave, so they both giggled secretively and they went back to the den where the others all hung out. As the evening sun began to set it was getting colder outside. Rose walked over to the pinned man before her and began twirling around his hair with her fingers. Then once she was satisfied she looked him in the eyes and went close to his face the nuzzled his nose as a sign of affection, "Hey handsome." She softly said as she softly kissed his lips.
"Ginta gave me some news when it was too late and for future purposes we played a little game." She smiled as she traced the muscles on Kouga's arms and neck. Kouga tried his best to comprehend what she said, her playing around with him had him completely Ina daze. "What if you hurt him?" He asked while keeping an eye on everything she was doing. "You don't trust me?" She questioned and she looked up at him and tilted her head to the side. "Of course I do." He replied. "Kouga, I wouldn't never purposely hurt Ginta or anyone in the pack for that matter unless it was required. Isn't it the same for you?" She explained.
"Of course, I'm the alpha and I have to keep things in order. When would it be required for you to hurt anyone?" "Hmm...Probably if someone was being intolerable, or if someone tries to separate me and you, then I might go a little crazy." Rose smiled at that last part. "No one will ever separate us Rose, never." He made that point clear. As he looked into her eyes. She smiled and lightly kissed him again, as they were kissing she grabbed the knives and pulled them out at the same time letting Kouga be free to move around. As soon as Kouga was free he leaned closer in kissing her harder. He used his arms to hold her closer, one hand at her lower back and one hand behind her head. His hand made contact with her skin and noticed she was cold. He stopped kissing her and put his nose on her nose, 'it's cold' he thought, 'I know what will do the trick.' He smirked as he thought of a plan.
He picked her up in one swoop and starting walking towards his destination where he planned to take Rose. Rose was taken by surprise but held
Onto one of the furs for support, although she wasn't sure where he was headed, she soon found out when she realized where she was. 'I thought the hot springs were around here? Kiba and I came up here a few times. Wait...why is Kouga, ohhh...' She realized and blushed and just shook her head 'that sly dog, I know what he's up too.' Rose thought, as soon as they reached it Rose looked around and noticed no one was in sight.
"Kouga why are we at the hot springs?" Rose asked looking up at him, he looked down and grinned "Your cold and this is the fastest way to warm up." He answered setting her down. Rose stretched and turned around facing Kouga. "What now?" She asked putting her hands on her hips. "I think you know what comes next." He said taking off his armor and furs, Rose blushed furiously as the alpha of the pack started to undress, but before he took off his bottom piece of clothing Rose quickly turned around in embarrassment. Kouga walked into the water then looked back at her 'She's embarrassed, how cute.' He thought as he smiled. "Aren't you getting in love?" He asked while watching her to see what she would do.
'Ugh, that bad wolf has me right where he wants him.' She sighed in defeat; she turned around to face him and said "Turn around right quick if you want me in there with you." He did as he was told and without a word he turned around and crossed his arms. Rose quickly undressed and then slowly walked in and then wrapped her hands around Kouga's neck and wrapped her legs around his waist. She put her chin on his shoulder, "Happy now?" He smirked and looked to the side to see her, "It's your fault for teasing me this morning."
"Teasing? That was a special punishment just for you!" He chuckled and shook his head then Rose let go of him and put her head under the water and wet her hair. Kouga untied his hair and his long black hair fell down. With the water up to her neck as she ducked down and grabbed Kouga's hands and pulled him down to his neck as well and she looked and played with the hair is finally down, 'It's so long and straight.' Rose thought. Rose's hair was wet now so it looked really dark and straight, but it was originally pretty wavy. Rose pushed his head down to get his hair wet then when he came up he grabbed her hips and pulled her against him then stole a kiss. Then he put his hands around her and pulled her into a loving embrace.
Rose blushed by having her breasts pushed up against Kouga as he hugged her. Rose just closed her eyes and hugged him back, 'I really do love this guy, just being next to him makes my heart feel warm, and I don't fear anything as long as he's here.' Rose thought as she appreciated this moment, not sure of how long it would last. Kouga really adored this person, she was loyal to her pack, always did what she thought was best and she cared about his pack as well.
Finally Kouga decided to say what was on his mind, Kouga wasn't one to keep things in. "Rose stay with me." He lightly said still holding her close. Rose's eyes opened wide, 'Stay with him? Here? And join his pack? How could I ever refuse, I don't think I'd be able to bring myself to leave.' "How could I ever leave you Kouga? Not like I have a place to return to, and no place would be any better than by your side. I just have to get Kiba to understand, I don't want her to be upset." Kouga was thrilled and lifted her up under her arms and spun her around laughing and smiling. Rose spread her hands out and just laughed and smiled as well. You couldn't see much of Roses naked body because her wet hair clung to her chest. He put her down and grabbed her hand and lead her out of the water to their clothes, get got dressed right quick and before Rose could get her top piece on he stopped her and moved her hair out of the way and slowly put it on for her and he was looking at her body as he pulled it up. Rose let him do as he pleased, but looked away in embarrassment.
"Rose you need to stop being so embarrassed Rose, you're beautiful, and all mine." He smirked as he finished putting on her top he saw her embarrassment and lifted her chin up with one of his fingers. And nuzzled her nose, then grabbed her hand and put it up to his lips and kissed it. He held on to it and they walked back towards the den to get some good night rest. All of a sudden Kouga stopped and put his hand out to stop them from walking; confused Rose looked up to him and he put his finger by his lips and whispered "Shh." He came over to her ear and whispered "Ginta and Hakkaku are coming." They looked at each other and grinned and jumped onto a tree branch to get out of the way and hide. Kouga and onto her waist to keep her steady on the branch, he whispered again into her ear "Let's see how good you are with those knives." Rose nodded and dug the knives from her pocket and readied them to be thrown as soon as Ginta and Hakkaku got in her sight.
Ginta walked through the path right behind Hakkaku, and before you know it Rose stuck one of his furs against a tree, Ginta yelped in surprise and tugged to get his fur free from the tree. Hakkaku turned around and saw his friend, he tried to run from their unknown attacker but he tripped on a tree root as soon as he started to run, while he was face planted, Rose through her daggers around his clothing to pin him to the ground.
Kouga jumped down and motioned her to jump down, Rose hesitated at first, but then jumped down and Kouga caught her before she hit the ground, Kouga looked back to his confused and troubled friends but was quickly interrupted when Rose grabbed is hand and ran through the woods as fast as she could trying to hold back her laughter. They ran back to den and Rose let go of his hand and then leaned against the wall and sank down laughter out of control.
She held her stomach laughing and was kicking her feet around. Kouga paused for a minute to watch Rose have a complete fit of laughter. Kouga eventually starting laughing too, he was laughing at their little prank, and that Rose was laughing so hard she couldn't stand. As soon as they stopped laughing Rose stood up and wiped the tears off her eyes from laughing. Back in the woods the pair took the knives out and looked at them, "These are Roses knives!" Ginta explained remembering their little game earlier. They both looked at each other and ran back to the cave where they slipped by. Soon enough Ginta and Hakkaku came running in with the knives in their hands and they both were yelling about random things for a while, then finally said "We could have died! What if you missed!? Kouga why'd you let sis do that!" "I told you Ginta, I never miss."
