CHAPTER 5
The next afternoon, an hour before sunset:
Unfortunately, the small group hadn’t made as much progress as Koga had hoped they would. Between demon attacks, and Having to give Ginta, Hakaku, and the wolves breaks, they had barely made more than twenty miles.
"Okay we will stop here for the night.” Koga instructed, raising his hand to indicate the land before them. “Leiko, you and I are going to do the hunting, so let’s go!" Koga said. Leiko nodded her head and they took off.
After catching a good sized wild boar and taking it down together, they returned to camp. Leiko started a fire, and everyone ate. As was custom, Hakaku and Ginta tended the wolves, bedding them down for the night, and then sat by the fire.
Leiko looked right at Koga and stated, "You do of course realize, that when we get there and Draven finds out I have returned, he's going to try to claim me for his mate, right?"
Koga looked at the trees growling angrily and Leiko asked, "What is it Koga?" beginning to look at their surroundings.
Clenching a fist he muttered, "It's that damn mangy mutt," rising up to his feet.
Frowning Leiko sniffed the air and squealed with delight, as they saw Inuyasha and the others approaching their campfire.
Kagome and Leiko ran over and embraced each other, bursting with excitement.
"Kagome, what are you all doing here?" cried Leiko.
Kagome smiled and replied, "Well we were out hunting for the jewel shards, and I noticed two together and assumed it must have been Koga, so we came over to say hi."
Leiko sauntered over to Inuyasha, hugging him and said, "Hey stranger," while smiling.
Inuyasha smiled, returning the hug and said, "Hey yourself." secretly relieved to see that she was okay.
Leiko walked over, hugging Sango and said, "I've missed you."
Sango smiled, returning the hug and replied, "I've missed you too."
Miroku hugged Leiko and started to reach his hand towards her butt.
Seeing this, Koga’s lips curled into a snarl and he warned, "Watch yourself monk!"
Miroku gulped, releasing the hug and said, "Lady Leiko, it's a pleasure to see you as always."
She smiled shaking her head amused and replied, "As it is seeing you as well, Miroku."
She went back over to Kagome and Shippo jumped into her arms crying out, "Oh Leiko! I have missed you so much." sobbing into her chest, as he snuggled into her arms.
She smiled, hugging the little one tightly and said, "And I have missed you just as much, Ship-Ship." bestow an affectionate kiss on the kit’s head.
Shippo beamed up at her, and she sat down with the Kit in her lap. He curled up and tired from a long journey, fell asleep in her lap. Leiko smiled down at the sleeping Kit.
She looked at Koga and returned to their conversation from before. "I repeat, you do realize that Draven will try to claim me, just as soon as he figures out I have returned, right Koga?"
Koga looked at her seriously and growled annoyed, "I’d expect no less from the likes of him."
Her face became sad and she looked at the sleeping child in her lap. She didn’t want to be anywhere near Draven. In fact, she would fight with all her strength to avoid that particular male and his scheming ways.
Noting the sadness on her face, Koga began wracking his brain for a way to avoid Draven from claiming her. Suddenly he perked up and said, "I have an idea to stop him in his tracks, however."
Blinking, Leiko said, "Do tell then please, old friend." raising her eyes to meet his.
Koga looked stared her directly in the eye and questioned, "How about I become your mate?"
Leiko looked shocked and queried unconvinced, "What? Koga did you... just say what I think you did?"
Koga grinned and said, "Yes I did," waiting for her answer.
Leiko stared at him seriously, and then put the kit down. She stood up and walked to stand in front of Koga, before asking seriously, "Why would you want me as your mate Koga?"
He looked at her and replied, "You are the strongest warrior I have seen in a long time- especially for a female. You’re brave, beautiful, very smart; loyal to a fault- hell, any man lucky enough to mate you, would be proud!"
She looked at him a moment and asked, "Is that all?" hoping there was more.
Koga looked at her and added, "You can stand toe to toe with any man, be it in battle or during discussions, and you are the royal heir as well. What more could anyone ask for in a mate?"
She looked away sadly and said, "I told you Koga- I won't be a tool." then she sighed heavily and said, "I am flattered by your offer Koga, I truly am. But, I must decline."
Unable to believe she would turn him down, he screamed "What!? But, why?"
She shook her head sadly and said, "I told you before Koga, I won't enter into a loveless marriage,” and turned and ran away crying.
Koga moved to follow her, but Kagome took off instead and said, "Let me talk to her."
Koga sank back down, shaking his head and said, "I don't get it! Why can't she be happy with what I said?"
Inuyasha piped up and said, "Because you stupid wolf, she wants what every woman wants- love! Not a list of attributes."
Koga rounded on Inuyasha and demanded, "How the hell would you know, you stupid mutt!?"
Before a fight could break out, Sango spoke up and said, "Because that is what every woman wants! She wants to be loved and thought of as an equal- not just some political tool."
Miroku shook his head and asked, "Koga, it is obvious that you two care for one another. But, what is the real reason you want to claim her? Is it for the throne? Her looks? Her personality? Or perhaps to protect her?"
Koga looked at everyone and said, "All of the above, and more." feeling frustrated that she would turn him away.
Sango got up and said softly, "Then maybe Koga, you should have told her that, instead of listing off all of her assets. Maybe you should have told her how much you care about her. We women need to hear these things every once in a while."

With Leiko and Kagome:
"Leiko, are you going to be okay?" asked Kagome, moving to sit beside her crying friend.
She wiped the tears from her eyes, and replied, "Yeah Kagome, I will be fine."
Kagome looked at the demoness and said, "You know, it is obvious that Koga and you are close. I know he cares about you."
Leiko said sadly, "I know Kagome, but caring isn't loving and I promised Kaede that I would live happy. In order to keep that promise, I will not enter into a loveless marriage!"
Kagome smiled sadly and said, "I know how you feel. I want the same thing- someone who loves me and respects me for me, not because I can sense the shards."
Blinking Leiko looked at her and said, "Oh Kagome...” before asking, “So how are you and Inuyasha doing?
Kagome smiled and said sadly, "Since Kikyo died, and Naraku has been defeated, he has gotten much better. I only wish that he would be more open with me. I thought for sure by now we would have been married, but-"
Leiko hugged her friend and said confidently, "He will come around, you know."
Kagome smiled and replied, "Yeah I know- I just got to be patient."
They smiled, and nodded their heads. Kagome said, "Koga will come around too, just give him time." The girls hugged and walked back to the camp.
--
Back at camp:
Kagome walked over to Koga and whispered, "You know Koga, you really should tell her how you feel. You can't take for granted that she knows. Right now she needs to hear these things.”
As his ears twitched she said, “Think about it- she is returning after being gone for so long, and she is scared and confused. She could really use a friend right now." She smiled sweetly at him and sat beside Inuyasha, with Shippo in her lap sleeping.
Leiko hugged Inuyasha and the rest and said, "It's time Koga. Let’s go- I want to go home." Koga, Leiko, Hakaku, Ginta and the wolves took off and ran all through the night.
--
Around noon they stopped for a break:
"Leiko, can we talk?" asked Koga, as he walked over towards her.
"Sure Koga." she replied, and the two took off alone for a walk.
“What's on your mind, Koga?" she asked walking through the forest.
"About last night." he said, walking beside her, a little nervous.
Heaving a heavy sigh, she said, "I'm sorry for the way that I reacted."
He shook his head and said, "No, I'm the one who is sorry! You are scared and worried about going home after so long, and I wasn't thinking straight. I don't want that creep anywhere near you, so I said the first thing that popped into my mind."
She stopped, turning to look at him and said, "You were only trying to protect me Koga, I know that."
She turned to walk away and he stopped her by grabbing her arm. He said, "That was only part of it Lei. Of course I want to protect you- you’re my best friend! But, I mean what I said last night too- you would be the perfect mate for any man! It's more than that though.”
Inhaling a deep breath, he informed her, “I really do care about you, Lei, we practically grew up together, and I want you to be happy."
She smiled at him and said, "Thanks Koga, I know you want to help. But, I meant what I said too- I want to not only be respected, but cherished and loved by my mate!. Loved for who I am- not just what I can do.”
Placing a hand on his arm, she explained, “I vowed to Kaede that I would live happy, and that is what I am gonna do. Until I find a mate worthy of me and my love, who will love me in return, I will remain alone." with that she walked away.
Koga stared after her for awhile letting everything sink in. He followed her slowly back to camp and announced that it was time to leave again, so they all set out again.
A few hours before dark they reached the mountains, which had once been her home, and climbed them. Just before dark they reach the Elders Tribe's caves and went directly to the elder's cavern.
Everyone else was gone off hunting and doing chores, except for the elder, and a few guards- one of who announced Koga's arrival.
