CHAPTER 4
The next morning with Koga:
Leiko awoke and found she’d slept with Koga's arm around her waist. She smiled and gently removed his arms. She got up and decided to bathe before the others wake up.
After bathing and pulling back her hair with a ribbon into a long high pony tail, she came back to camp and realized that Koga and the others were up. Koga announced it was time to leave and they set off.
--
Later that afternoon two hours before sunset:
The wolf demon prince stopped and held up his hand announcing, "Okay we will stop here for the night." The small quartet made camp and Koga and Leiko hunted for dinner, leaving Ginta and Hakaku to look after the wolves.
After dinner Leiko announced that she was going for a walk. Sensing that something was weigh heavily on her, Koga followed her and asked, "Are you gonna tell me about what is troubling you?"
She sighed heavily and said, "I still can't believe that I fell for his crap." still irritated with herself for being so naive.
Koga said evenly, "You were always crushing on Draven- It was only a matter of time before he realized it." trying to keep his anger at the other male from his voice.
Leiko sighed and said, "Yeah, but he used that to try to take advantage of me and to gain access to the throne." deeply disappointed in herself.
She stared off into space and Koga walked up behind her, saying, "It was a mistake Lei, plain and simple. At least you found out before he could complete his schemes."
She looked at him and said, "Yeah I know." She sighed heavily adding, "At least he doesn’t know about my biggest secret," mumbling under her breath.
His ears perked up. "What was that?" asked Koga.
"Nothing, never mind." she said and turned away.
Koga held her elbow and said, "Come on, tell me." staring at her with his piercing blue eyes.
She looked at him and said, "You will find out soon enough." before slowly walking off.
Upset that she was holding out on him, Koga followed her and said seriously, "Come on Lei. We never used to keep secrets between us."
Spine stiffening, she replied testily, "This one Koga, is best kept a secret." with absolute stubbornness showing in her eyes.
Koga looked at her, and whined, "Tell me." pouting with his lips pursed and arms over his chest.
She laughed at his childish act and asked, "You really wanna know?" staring at him with a sly grin.
He replied seriously, "Yes! Now come on- tell me!" glaring at her.
Eyes twinkling with mischief, she chuckled and said, "Only on one condition Koga, you have to catch me first!" and ran off. He grinned and took off after her. They played chase like back when they were kids.
After an hour or so, Koga put on a burst of speed and caught her. They rolled to the ground laughing. Koga pinned her to the ground, and said, "Got ya! Now tell me what you were talking about earlier." grinning wolfishly.
She stubbornly shook her head and said, "Uh uh!" smirking up at him.
Remembering her biggest weakness, Koga started tickling her. She started laughing and yelled, "Koga!"
Straddling her waist, he queried, "Are you ready to tell me yet?" eyes shining with laughter.
She answered, "Uh uh!" and squealed when he started the tickling again.
He continued tickling her mercilessly until she finally yelled, "Okay, Okay I give. I’ll tell you!" Eyes filling with triumph he grinned and stopped tickling her.
She stopped laughing and said, "You do remember my dad was a full wolf demon and my mom was a half demon, right?"
Sitting over her hips, he replied, "Yeah so?"
She took a deep breath and said seriously, "This is my most sacred secret Koga, and I will have your word never to repeat it to anyone!" staring him dead in the eye.
Staring directly into her eyes, he replied seriously, "You have my word."
She nodded her head and taking a deep breath, informed him in a low whisper, "I go into heat every month."
He looked dumbfounded. "What!?" he replied, blinking several times, with his ears twitching.
She huffed and sat up, pushing him off of her and pulled her knees to her chest explaining, “Humans go into heat every month. Apparently it's the same for me, since mama was half human and I am a quarter human...” Taking a deep breath for courage, she continued, “I found out two years after I left. When I first started…” Giving a humorless laugh she said, “I guess I was a late bloomer."
Koga grinned his mischievous grin and said, "But Lei, That's great news! It means-"
She cut him off and said sarcastically, "Yeah great news, it means this bitch can breed pups year round if I choose to- which I don't!" ending in a biting tone.
Koga looked taken back by her unexpected anger and replied, "What? Why not? Don't you realize how well you could help re-populate the tribe?" with growing excitement at the thought of the tribe having a chance to flourish.
She glared at him and declared angrily, "Koga! I will not be a factory to breed pups. I want a mate who loves and respects me, and sees me as his equal! Not a damn brood mare!" she fumed, standing to her feet.
Koga looked at her and said, "You would be a great asset to any man lucky enough to mate you! The fact that you could breed pups year round would only be an added bonus."
She looked at him and said evenly, "I expect you to honor your word and not repeat this to anybody- not even grandfather.” Hugging her waist and feeling very vulnerable, she insisted, “When I mate, I want it to be for love- nothing less. I will not enter into a loveless marriage." and she stalked off bedding down for the night.
Koga sighed heavily, shaking his head and followed her. Sighing heavily, he bed down by the tree, staring at her in silence, wondering why she was being so stubborn.
--
The next morning:
Everyone woke before daybreak and ate breakfast. When they were finished, Koga said, "Okay let's get moving." and everyone set out.
--
The next evening after dinner:
Leiko announced that she was going to bathe in the river and walked to the river. Placing her sword on the bank, she stripped and started her bath.
Halfway through her bath she sensed an approaching aura and demanded, "Show yourself- I know you’re there!"
Sesshomaru stepped into view and said, "Lady Lei." nodded to her in greeting.
She squealed and said smiling, "Lord Sesshomaru, to what do I owe the honor?"
He replied, "I heard from my brother's human, that Kaede-"
He saw the deep sadness on her face and said, "Ah, I see from you face, it is true then."
She replied sadly, "Yes, it’s true, Kaede is gone." hugging her knees to her chest in the water.
He said, "Then I am sorry for you loss." as he moved closer to the spring, keeping his eyes averted.
She smiled sadly and said, "Thank you. Now if you would be so kind as to turn around so that I may dress." He smiled, shook his head amused, and did as asked.
After she had dressed and pulled her hair up, she said, "Again Thank you, I am dressed now."
He turned back around and asked curiously, "Have you kept up with your practices?"
She grinned and said, "But of course, I would never waste such valuable teachings!" strapping her weapons to her waist.
He smirked and commanded, "Then draw your sword and show me." amber eyes challenging her.
She grinned and did as told, leaping toward him. He blocked her sword with his, and they spared for a while
The whole time Koga was watching, and thought to himself amused, 'Well now, let’s see how you hold up against a major opponent like Lord Sesshomaru, my dear.'
As the session continued, Koga was amazed at how well she did, but eventually after an hour or more, Sesshomaru bested her and she fell to the ground.
He held his sword pointed at her neck, eyes showing triumph. After a moment of silence, he put his sword away and spoke. "I see you have indeed remembered my teachings. You have indeed grown stronger since we last sparred; However, I am still the better fighter by far." giving her a rare smirk. She grinned at him as he held out his hand and helped her up.
She replied, "Thank you." bowing to him respectfully.
Sesshomaru bowed slightly and she continued, "Of course you are the better of us, you are after all the teacher," and they laughed together.
She put away her own sword and walked over to Sesshomaru, hugger her long time friend. Koga’s gasp was audible as Sesshomaru hugged her back.
She said, "Okay Koga, I know you have been watching us. Come out and say hello."
Koga grinned, stepping out and asked, "How did you know it was me?"
She replied, "I can sense auras." Adding amused, “And the gasp only confirmed it.”
Koga shook his head and mumbled, "I should have known." and then he said coolly, "Lord Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru replied coolly, "Wolf prince Koga." eying the later suspiciously.
Leiko said, "Alright, no fighting you two! You’re both very dear to me, and I don't want either of you getting hurt!" staring from one to the other.
They replied in unison, "Agreed." She smiled and beamed at both of the warriors.
Sesshomaru said, "I assume this means you have finally decided to return to your grandfather?" addressing the lady.
Leiko looked down briefly, before smiling and saying, "Yes, Evidentially Grandfather has had Koga searching for me, for the last five years. I promised Kaede that I would return. In fact, I was on my way to return, when I ran into Koga, and then I needed to go back to see Kaede.” Breaking off to choke back tears she said, I had a feeling... I got back about twenty minutes before she died."
She looked away sadly again, and Sesshomaru said, "I am truly sorry for your loss Leiko. I know for some reason, that you two were very close.” Adding in an approving manner, “However, she did convince you to return; so maybe she wasn't so foolish after all."
Leiko smiled sadly and said, "Thanks." Knowing the ice lord still didn’t approve of many humans- except for his mate.
Sesshomaru said, "Well, it appears that I do not need to convince you into returning after all, so I will now take my leave."
Leiko hugged him, grinning and said, "Thank you for coming to check on me old friend. I am looking forward to our next rematch. Oh and be sure to tell Lady Rin that I say hello." winking at him.
Sesshomaru smirked and said, "Anytime Lei, anytime, and I will send her your regards."
He looked over at Koga seriously and warned, "You had better not allow her to be harmed." promise of a fate far worse than death in his eyes, should harm befall her.
Slightly bristling at the insult, Koga assured, "I will keep her safe at any cost!" eyes locked with those of the stronger demon lord.
Sesshomaru looked directly into Koga's eyes and said in his no nonsense tone, "You had better.” Sesshomaru nodded once, turned on his heel, and left as silently as he had come.
Koga looked at Leiko and asked, "How in the hell did you ever befriend Sesshomaru!?" slightly irritated.
She laughed and said, "He was impressed with my training, and my lack of fear around him. One day he said that he would train me if I wished and I was thrilled! We quickly became close." Koga frowned. She added, "Like a brother and sister."
She looked at Koga and said, "Well, we should be getting back to camp."
She turned to walk off but, Koga grabbed her elbow and said, "Lei, I am impressed by your skills. I never would have thought you would have continued your training after leaving, let alone under the teachings of Sesshomaru. You have indeed become a mighty warrior."
She beamed up at him, slightly blushing and said, "Thanks Koga. Coming from you, that means a lot."
Smiling, she reached up, and kissed his cheek softly; before pulling back to wink at him, and walking away.
Puzzled by her strange actions, he stood there rubbing his cheek looking shocked, and then grinned his mischievous grin, and quickly caught up with her back at camp.

The next morning:
After breakfast Koga declared, "Okay let’s head out! We should reach the Northern Mountains by tomorrow night if we’re lucky." and they all set off again.
