Moroha's POV
"But only until Kagome finally becomes my woman, then she will take over, as she is well versed in the art of healing"- Koga had a thing for my Mom? Seriously?!
"Uh, sure, I will need to collect some herbs and get some bandages. Are you uh, engaged to uh, Kagome?"
"As soon as she realises that mutt-face is an idiot, she'll be my woman."- Is he serious?
"Mutt-face?"
"Yeah, that half breed dog, who thinks he can become a real demon if he collects all the shards. What a joke!" -Dad wanted to become full demon?
"Huh?"- He just sighed in exasperation
"Never mind, long story. Go get your herbs and bandages! Don't forget the dinner either"- Wow! Well, at least I can make myself indispensable. Then I can stay here long term to figure out how did the Great Fire started.
He wanted Mom? Really? How come no one told me about that?
Few days later…
I managed to set up a little healing corner. Helped with a few booboos. Collected herbs and they drying nicely on the wall. Found a little patch of grass close to the den's entrance. It will be perfect to grow herbs, so we'll have enough when needed and don't have to collect in the forest all the time.
That took some convincing…
"Why would you need to grow flowers here? We are fighters not women! How would it look like if the fearless wolf demon tribe would have a pretty flower garden at the entrance?!"
"It's an herb garden! Not a flower garden. It will help to keep everyone healthy!"
"No! It's ridiculous and I won't allow it!"- Really?! He is going to make an ego thing about it. I grew up with wolves. I know how to handle that! - "Aren't you overcompensating for something?"- That got his attention! -Maybe the fearless wolf demon tribe is not even that fearless. If a few herbs would make you look weak, doesn't that mean there was no real strength to begin with? -Look at that red angry face! Gotcha!
"Fine! But just the necessary herbs! Nothing pretty! Understood?!" -had to keep from smiling. Typical male.
"Yes, I understand"
In a few months' time we'll have herbs and a few vegetables growing here. The wolf's steady diet of meat, meat, meat and meat is really not doing much good for my digestion.
I have been looking around here. So far, I have no idea how did the Great Fire started, so it looks like I'll be here for a long time.
I hope I will be able to figure out how to save everyone. Perhaps the best idea would be, if I'd tell Koga the truth about myself and the future. Maybe he'll be able to help me. And it might also help me get Koji off my back. I can't effectively sniff around if he is constantly following me.
But what if he doesn't believe me? Or worse. What if he uses that knowledge to drive a wedge between my parents, so he can have Mom. That would effectively erase my existence.
No! I have to do this alone. Can't have anyone else involved.
I will save everyone.
I have to!
