Naraku woke up feeling horrible. His whole body was in pain. It hurt to breath. Getting up he groaned. He knew he had to get out of those caves before Kouga came back. Using the cave walls to support himself he slowly made his way through the dark maze.

...

Kouga decided to return to the caves again. He used his scenes of smell to track the spider. Naraku wasnt where he had left him, it seems he had decided to try to find a way out of the caves despite his warnings.

Kouga found him half a mile deeper into the cave. He was on the floor dragging his body through the rocky floor. His wounds had still not healed and he must have gotten too weak to walk.

Smirking Kouga walked up to him. It was clear the hanyou still had not notice him.

"You dont look so good Naraku." He bent down to get a closer look.

Naraku froze. His body shaking in fear.

"I told you to stay put. These caves belong to us but sometimes other demons sneak in. It be easy for them to kill you." He grabbed Naraku's hair and pulled his head up.

"What dose it matter to you if I get killed?" Naraku hissed.

"It matters because I am the only one allowed to kill you."

Letting him go Kouga picked up the weak spider. He carried him over his shoulder. The spiky armor scratched his skin but the wolf ignored it.

"Put me down you jack ass and take your hand off my butt." Naraku punched him in the back repeatedly.

"Shut up." Kouga had to admit the spider had a firm ass. Even though Naraku's baggy pants he could feel the curves. Unable to resist he gave it a quick squeeze.

"Pervert, let me go."

Kouga took him to a different section of the cave. It was still pitch black. Naraku had no way of knowing way of tracking where they went.

He was dropped on a hard stone floor. Pain spread though his body from the impact.

"Now stay here." Kouga lite another torch so Naraku could see.

With light the spider saw he was in a square room. There were pictures on the wall and large rocks everywhere. The entrance was narrow and low, Kouga had to bend down to bring them both in.

"Here I brought you some water." He pulled out a canteen from his bag.

"About time." He reached for it but Kouga swiped it away.

"But first you need to answer me a few questions. Why did you kill my wolfs?"

Naraku moved back. He didn't like where this was going. "Forget it I don't want the water."

Suddenly he was pushed against the wall and a clawed hand wrapped around his throat.

"Answer me." The wolf roared. His eyes starting to turn red.

"I...I wanted you to think Inuyasha killed them so you two would fight. Than Kagura was suppose to take out which every one of you survived and take your jewel shards."

"So many of my comrades died because of you. You killed Hakkaku, one of my best friends. You bastard, my pack is barely surviving because of you." His hand squeezed harder. Naraku was turning blue.

"I'll make you suffer for everything you'v done." He let go of Naraku's neck in favor of grabbing his hair.

The spider took a deep breath of air. All the blood had rush to his head. With glowing crisome red eyes Kouga bit into his throat drawing blood.

Catching both of Naraku's wrist in one hand he held them above the spiders head against the rocky wall. The blood filling his mouth was delicious. He kept swallowing mouth fulls, it was bitter, but addictive. Naraku's struggles slowly became weaker. He was loosing too much blood.

Kouga pulled away licking his lips.

"You caused so much pain. It's only fair you feel pain now." He whispered into the hanyous ear.

Still holding his wrist Kouga licked the blood around his neck till the wound closed.

Getting up he left the water on the group. Naraku didn't move from his spot. Either he was to scare or he had pasted out from blood lost. Either way Kouga didn't care.

He walked out as fast as possible. It was shameful to say but there was a large lump making his pant painfully tighter. He couldn't believe he had gotten hard while biting Naraku. Thank god the spider had not notice.

Taking a back exit out of the cave he quickly made his way to the river without running into a member of his pact. The wolf cannoned balled into the cold waters. It helped to cool him off.

Drifting down the rivers back he looked up at the slowly moving clouds. His thoughts completely engulfed by confusion and frustration. This was the second incident he had with Naraku that he ended up feeling something other than hate for the spider.

"Kouga" The wolf leader stood up to see Ginta at the side of the river waving his hands back and forth. It didn't feel right with out Hakkaku being right next to him.

"Princes Ayame is coming with her elder."

...

Ayame was waiting for him in the meeting hall, which was just a large room with a fire in the middle and pillows surrounding it.

Kouga took a seat across from her. There elder sat next to the she wolf. He was an old wolf with white bushy eyebrows.

"Hello Ayame, how nice it is to have you as a guess in our home."

"Oh Kouga huh, don't be so formal."

"So what can I help you with?"

"No my dear boy, we are here to help you and your pack. You see we know your pack has greatly been diminished over the last year. Because of this you have had trouble gathering food and protecting your tribe from invading demons. The tribe of the wolf tribe of the south had come to you with an offer." The elder spoke while stroking his beard.

Kouga raised an eyebrow. "And what offer is that?"

Ayame spoke next. "That we merge our packs together. We be stronger and safer."

"But the only way to do that is through..."

"Through marriage" Ayame finished.

"But Ayame, we've been though this before. I don't want to get married yet."

"Wolf Prince Kouga" The elder said sternly. "Your wants do not matter when it comes to your pack. As the leader you must put the needs of your brothers and sisters before yourself."

Kouga stayed silent. He did not want to marry Ayame but the elder was right. His pack was in trouble and it seemed the only way to protect his family was to join their packs. His family was just to small to survive on there own.

Seeing the distress on the princes face, the elder decided to speak up. "We will give you till the lunar eclipse to decided."

The lunar eclipse was a sacred night for all wolfs. They would spend the night in celebration, howling to the moon, till sun rise. It was months away.

"By than, if you think your clan can survive on it own your free to object our offer."

"Thank you elder. I am full of joy knowing that out southern brothers care so much about us. Now if you excuse me I will retire to my courters. You have given me much to think about. I am also sure you two are quiet tired from your long journey. Please take rest in one of our rooms and join us for a meal before you go."

"We appreciated it Kouga, thank you."

Firerat570 :"Kouga and Ayame sitting in a tree. K.I.S.S.I.N.G

Kouga: "Shut up"

Naraku laughs :"Better her than me."

Firerat 570 snickers

Naraku shows panic expression :" Why are you looking at me like that?"

Fireat570: "No reason, just thinking about the next chapter."

Naraku yells. "What are you going to do to me?"

Kouga: "Hey, I don't want my dick anywhere near that bitch."

Naraku: "Oh please, like you even have a chance with me. I'll probably escape in the next chapter anyway you stupid dog"

Kouga : "Bastard, I'm a wolf"

Naraku and Kouga start fighting while Firerat570 was in the corner writing the next chapter giggling as the pair wrestle on the ground.

"Let them keep rolling around on the floor. They're giving me great material."
