Chapter thirteen:

Okayaki had been spying under the guise of just a regular worker, for the last few weeks. She never got too close, only remained hidden in the crowd, working beside the many other women of the tribe.

She was actually very good at hiding her hatred for Leiko, and only ever let her true feelings show around her brother and lover, when the three of them were off alone.

During the day, she would labor besides the many women of the tribe and covertly keep tabs on Leiko’s moves, memorizing her routines. At night, she would return to her beloved and her brother, updating them on the process.

Leiko had stopped spending time by the river, and had started looking for a different sot to spend her time. She was always accompanied, either by Koga, Hakkaku, or Ginta and was never once seen outside her caves alone.

As Okayaki continued her surveillance of Leiko, Draven and Bu began formulating a plan of attack. They needed to catch her and her body guard alone, in order to succeed. When Okayaki informed her lover that Leiko was pupped, his fury intensified. She was supposed to bear his heir, not Koga’s!

Shortly after finding out that Leiko was pupped, he set the plan in motion…

A few days later:

Koga had taken Hakkaku and left with Komo to finalize the preparations, for Koga’s ascension to the throne. He’d charged Ginta with remaining by his mate’s side and keeping her safe, out of earshot of his mate of course.

Leiko had grown weary of being cooped inside the caves and craved some fresh air and a bit of exercise. She was approximately a month into her pregnancy and knew she was in for a long nine months, because she and Koga both smelled at least one male and one female pup. Although it was early even by demon standards, to be one hundred percent certain it was only two and not more.

She was already growing a bit restless and needed the fresh air and brief walk to help soothe her nerves. She walked over to Ginta and told him she was going for a walk. He immediately stood up and offered to go with her.

She grabbed a quick snack of smoking fish and some nuts and berries and walked outside, deeply inhaling the fresh air into her lungs. Ginta smiled as he watched her carry on like a little pup that had just been brought outside after a long cold winter of being trapped in the cave.

She greedily inhaled the fresh mountain air and started gazing in awe at the beauty around them. She’d always loved being surrounded by nature’s beautiful trees and flowers, by the water.

Many of the male warriors had gone off to hunt for the winter’s meals, so that the women could restock the storage caves and prepare the tribe for the long winter which would soon arrive.

Although a good handful of powerful warriors were still left at the den to guard and protect the women. Everyone had an assigned task and was dutifully carrying it out, excited about the ceremony where their new king would soon be crowned.

The women were cleaning furs in the river and making new flesh bedding for the long winter nights. Fresh straw and leaves had been brought in to each individual home, and the old had been thrown out. All that remained now was to finish cleaning and drying out the bed furs and to store the winter’s food and supplies away.

Leiko sighed as she and Ginta began leisurely walking towards her new favorite spot to sit and think. It wasn’t by the river anymore, rather in a nice open field with lots of pretty flowers that smelled inviting, and even a few strong tall shade trees.

She had discovered it on one of her walks with Hakkaku a while back, and had alternating between it and the spot by the river for a while, before sticking to the newer spot. She figured Draven was watching her river spot, but had no idea that his little spy had already discovered her new little get a way.

They walked into the field and she sighed, taking in a deep soothing breath of the serene air and pretty flowers. She felt peaceful here. She smiled and sat among the tall grass, picking a few of the flowers and asked, “Ginta, what do you think of my new little hide a way?” placing a rose in her hair.

Ginta smiled answering happily, “It sure is pretty.”

She smiled back asking, “So, do you have a mate yet?”

He blushed and said, “Nah.”

She chuckled asking, “Why not?” as she turned to face him.

Seeing his blush deepen she guessed, “Ah, so you’re a shy type, huh?” He blushed more and nodded. She smiled and began picking some flowers.

She said, “I heard from Kagome a while back that Koga had claimed her.” Chuckling she added, “I figured that he must have been impressed by her spunk.” Adding, it was nice to hear word that he hadn’t changed much.” as she continued plucking the flowers.

Ginta recalled, “Yeah, she had slapped him after her declared her his.” Remembering the sound of the slap, and Koga’s shocked face.”

She chuckled and said, “Knowing him, it only made him more determined to chase her.”

Ginta replied, “Yup. He acted cocky and declared he’d just kill Inuyasha anyways, when she said she was seeing someone.”

She laughed, “Yep, that’s Koga for ya.” as she placed a hand on her stomach confiding, “He’s really excited about the pups too.”

Ginta agreed, “Yeah he is. It’s all he talks about with us. How great you are. How happy he is to have you back. How excited he is about becoming a father.”

She smiled, “He is very eager for them to be born already.” Laughing as she added, “He can’t wait to train and hold them.”

She moved over towards the flowers to pick a different variety and stopped as she heard a deep chuckle say, “Too bad he will never get the chance.”

She gasped and dropped her flowers, instead flexing her claws and growled, “Leave now before it’s too late you prick!” as her eyes narrowed at the man she despised the most.

Ginta went to help her and ended up knocked out by Bu who said, “Let’s not have interference from you,” as he tackled Ginta to the ground and smashed his head with a rock.

“No Ginta!” Leiko cried out trying to run to him, only to have her arm grabbed by Draven, who said, “Uh uh love, leave the boys to play while we talk.”

Her eyes widened and she snarled, “Let go of me, bastard,” sinking her claws deep into his arm and raking down hard; causing him to roar out on pain as he held his bleeding arm and she ran to Ginta, asking, “Ginta, are you okay? Please speak to me.”

Draven growled, “Bitch! You’ll pay for that.” As Bu yanked her by the hair away from Ginta and said, “Leave the man alone, and worry for yourself, bitch.”

She kicked above her head, nailing him in the knee, and growled, “Get off!” rolling away from him, making sure not to hurt her stomach.

Draven yanked her up by the hair and snarled, “You’ll pay! For that and for all the hell I’ve been through since you ran off.” glaring at her.

Okayaki watched from beside the big tree and grinned thinking hatefully, 'Now she pays, for everything.' Watching with pleased eyes as the woman she hated most, faced the wrath of her beloved Draven.

Draven dragged her by the hair until she snarled and sank her fangs into his calf, causing him to yelp in pain and she moved away rolling to her feet, growling, “You’ll be sorry when Koga gets back!” glaring at him hard.

Draven’s paw went to the bleeding punctures on his leg and he said stunned, “You bit me…”

She spat out disgusted and her hand went to her roiling stomach as she chanted, 'Don’t blow chunks,' inside her head.

His eyes narrowed on her as he seethed, “Since you left I’ve had hell day in and day out.” Ripping a piece of his fur from his toga as he tied it around his leg and hissed in pain as it tightened to stem the blood flow.

His eyes found hers again and he repeated, “Sheer hell!” glaring at her, blaming her for the grueling extra labor he’d had to do.

She snapped back, “Whose fault is that? Adding, “You’re the reason I left and you damned well know it!” feeling the many years of back anger inching towards the surface.

Because of him, she’d spent so long away from her grandfather, time she couldn’t get back.

His eyes narrowed further and he growled, “Just because you were a bitch and got your feelings hurt, you ran away, leaving me to face everybody.”

His nostrils flared as his temper rose. She was the reason he’d suffered so much ridicule and had to humble himself to nearly everyone. She was the reason he’ been suffering through extra work, just to prove himself worthy of recognition. All because she ran away leaving him to clean up the mess, alone.

Knowing the best way to make her feel the hell he’d been through. He smirked and asked, “How does you precious Koga feel knowing that I was the first man to have you?”

She growled and said, “None of your damned business.” as her own eyes narrowed at him.

He chuckled and said, “So it bothers you, eh love?” adding with a sneer, “No matter how much you try or how hard you wish, you can’t deny the fact that I was the first man ever between your legs. I was the first to taste your breasts and I am the one who made you a woman.”

She said, “You’re right. I can’t ever erase that mistake, no matter how hard I try.” Adding with a self loathing scowl, “You even had me fooled too. Until the day I heard you three discussing it and heard your plans for me.” She sighed heavily and said, “I can’t believe how foolish I was, to think you could love anyone but yourself.” Glaring at him she added, “You will never be able to love anyone but yourself.”

He scoffed, “You don’t even know me.” Before snarling, “Enough talk, now you pay,” lunging at her and knocking her to the ground, intending to rip her skirt off.

She struggled growling and her eyes began to turn red as she struggled for her and her pups’ sakes. She growled and snapped her jaws, struggling to free herself from his body weight and his grip.

He chuckled as he sat on her thighs and smirked down at her with malicious intent in his eyes, adding coldly, “Let’s see how well your precious Koga will still care, once I’ve been inside you again,” moving his free hand to grab a hold of her fur mini skirt, as he watched fear take over her senses and enter her eyes.

Okayaki smirked and stepped over to stare down at the woman, with pure hatred in her eyes, sneering, “Now you will get what you deserve, you lowly partial human bitch,” spitting on the ground as she watched her beloved, getting ready to deal out the bitch’s punishment.

She began struggling even harder, but he was much stronger than her and laughed enjoying her useless expense of energy as well as the fear reeking from her body. Oh yes, he was going to enjoy this.

A/N: Wow, poor Leiko. Only a few more chapters to go.
