Chapter 6
Kouga
Tsume’s eyes open slowly.
She was aware of two things.
First, she was VERY warm.
Second, she was sleeping on something soft.......
And it was MOVING!
Blinking, she sat up rubbing her head. Yawning and looking around, she realized she was in a cave. Looking down, she saw the thing that had been moving.
It looked back at her with curious bright blue eyes.
“Why, hello there,” Tsume said warmly.
The baby wolf cub yipped back happily, wagging its tail. ((*snicker* betcha’ thought the moving thing was Kouga, didn’t ‘cha?)) There was a loud bark, and a large grey female wolf trotted over to where Tsume and the cub sat.
‘Hello,’ the she-wolf said to her.
‘Hi,’ Tsume replied.
The she-wolf nodded to her cub. ‘This is Kazuo, my son. I am Kipcha, and my mate,’ she gestured towards an even larger grey wolf with a red tail, ‘Khaz. We are happy to help you in any way we can. If you are ever in need, call us. Your instincts will know how.’
With that, Kipcha picked up Kazuo by the scruff of his neck and trotted back to her mate and three other cubs.
She also left a very intrigued Tsume behind her. Pondering, Tsume didn’t even notice the two wolf demons that approached her from behind.
One of them had a tuft of hair that hung as bangs on his forehead, with a close cut on the rest of his head. The other had a white mohawk, and it went from the front of his head.
She raised an eyebrow at them, and then quietly got to her feet.
“Please sister,” Ginta, the tuft-haired one said, “you need to get more rest.”
Tsume snorted, “I’ve rested more than plenty, now, if you’ll please excuse me, I need to be going.”
Hakkaku, the mohawk-haired one stepped in front of her, holding up his hands in a non-threatening way. “Please sister, Kouga-sama instructed us that you must stay here and rest. Please sister, lie back down and go back to sleep.”
Tsume growled dangerously, “Who is this “Kouga-sama” and why should I give a damn what he says I can or can not do?” The ookamis gulped and started backing away slowly as she advanced upon them. A strong wind blew through the cave, but Tsume ignored it.
“Because,” said a low grumbling noise, “you are exhausted and you still are. You’re also quite hurt. So get back on the pad and go to sleep.”
Tsume pivoted on her heel, her face masked with fury towards whomever had spoken to her so insolently.
She stared for a split second, and then she returned to her fury. She had almost gawked at his looks. He looked young for a demon, and couldn’t be older than fifty years, although to a human he looked around seventeen.
His long hair was swept back into a ponytail, but his bangs floated in the breeze. He had bright wolf-blue eyes, right about the same color as the wolf cub’s she had been playing with earlier. He attire was simple, and he wore fuzzy brown fur on his shoulders, knees, arms, legs, headband, and as a kilt.
“Besides,” he said, smirking, “you should give a damn what I say. First of all, any creature with even just a tad of sense can tell you’re completely worn out. Second of all, you’re also in my debt. Not only did I save your life by bringing you into my cave, but you’ve been sleeping in my padding for the last two days.” ((*Hits ecchi people with a frying pan because I know what they’re thinking* NO THEY DID NOT “SLEEP” TOGETHER!!!!!))
Tsume stared at him, “I’ve been asleep for....... two..... DAYS!?”
Kouga nodded, “Two days and three nights, to be exact. Well...... here at least. I’d heard from a wind youkai that a hanyou was running amuck in my lands, so I figured it’s be in my best interest if I checked it out.”
Kouga gave her a grin full of fangs. ‘Definitely a wolf grin,’ Tsume thought.
“Turns out it was you,” he said, eyes twinkling at her.
Tsume eyed him warily, “And pray tell, exactly why are you so open-minded about hanyous anyway?”
Kouga looked at her startled, “Well not ALL demons hate humans, your linage proves that.”
“Although,” he paused and placed a hand on his chin thoughtfully, “if Kagome was to accept my offer, our cubs would be hanyou.....”
Turning, he walked out of the area in thought, disappearing behind a wall of rock and on his way to the front of the cave.
Ginta turned to Tsume, “Well, I believe Kouga-sama wanted you to rest now.......” He reached to give her a gentle push backwards and down towards the bedding.
Tsume growled and slapped his hand away. “I’ve been sleeping for the past two DAYS now, I believe I’ve had just about as much sleep as I can stand for quite a bit,” she fumed.
Tsume stormed off fuming, she left both Ginta and Hakkaku shaking in their furs. ((*snickersnicker*))
Making her way to the front of the cave, she looked around at the huge wolf pack that lay around it, some polishing weapons, some chatting, and a few wolves tending to their cubs.
Oh! How she yearned for a life like this, such a care-free life.
Walking, she reached the front of the cave, and was surprised to be sprayed with clear stream water.
‘This cave is hidden by a waterfall? Interesting,’ she thought.
She was startled a moment later, when the water parted to show something jumping through the falls....... and rammed right into her..... causing them both to be spun into the air.
The breath was knocked out of Tsume, and her reflexes kicked in. Twisting cat-like in the air, she pushed away from her assaulter, landing on the ground on all fours. Her sapphire eyes narrowed and her tail flicked back and forth and her ears twitched. A snarl worked its way involuntarily from her throat and escaped her mouth.
Kouga twisted also, but landed on both of his feet. Shaking his head, he looked up, only to find a very pissed off Tsume growling at him.
He smiled apologetically, “Sorry about that, but didn’t I tell you to rest? Hakkaku and Ginta should have made you go back to the bedding.”
Tsume growled again, “ I’ve been resting for damn near three days, I’ve rested plenty!”
Before Kouga could give a retort, an elemental neko leapt from the waterfall wall and into the cave. It was a solid black , with yellow stripes on both of its tails, along with another two stripes on its ears .It had yellow on its paws too, and that faded into black at the ankle joints.
It was in its small form now, so it was only the size of a regular domestic cat at the moment.
The neko walked right up to Tsume, and the wolf hanyou bent down to it, all previous arguments cast aside for the moment.
Tsume smiled at it, “Hey Sake, good to see you again, meeting?”
The neko, now identified at Sake, mewed happily back, making a fire in one of its paws and producing a scroll of parchment.
Kouga’s eyes widened as he realized who the neko was. He had just seen him recently, when he had given him an invitation to a Lords and Ladies of the Lands Council Meeting. They were held monthly, but he really never went anymore.
Knowing this, he thought, startled, ‘Wait, why is he here, surely that doesn’t mean.....’

KY: *is currently tearing up her house* DAMMIT WHERE IS IT!!!???
Shippou: -_-;;;
KY: *growls venomously an inanimate object*
Shippou: *sigh* this could go on for days
~*~In the Northern Lands~*~
Kouga: *holds up a thong* how’d my face get on this thing?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AN: Cliffhanger!!! *snicker* I know I’m evil, but, hey, what’s an author to do? Lol, yeah yeah, I’m grounded from the net now, and I don’t know for how long, but probably by the time I’m allowed back on, I’ll have typed at least another chapter or two ((or three of four O.o;;;)).
Note to you all, I didn’t make up the names Kipcha and Khaz, they belong solely to David Clement-Davies in his book “The Sight”. Which is one of my FAVORITE books of all time, and a must read for wolf and animal lovers alike. I highly recommend it, especially if you like fantasy and action adventure. *Cuddles her copy of The Sight* I love my book!!!!! ^^
And on another note, in the series, Kouga is actually the Prince of Wolves for the Eastern Lands. I found this out when I watched an old episode with Kouga in it. The Wolves from the Northern Tribes came to Kouga for help, and told him that both the Southern Tribes and the Western Tribes were backing them also. But it’s already in my story that he’s the Lord of the North, so oh well.
I also would have put more detail into Hakkaku and Ginta, but I kinda forgot what they looked like. -_-;;; Sorry.
And I’m sorry this chapter is so short, really I am, but the next chapter is DEFINITELY going to be longer, promise. Written out on notebook paper, this chapter was only about two and a half pages, while my normal chapters are around four to five or more, sorry, a heh heh. But until next time, Ja!
Shippou: *sighs* yes yes, we know......
KY: *makes a weird face*................
Shippou: What?
KY: *growls dangerously*
Shippou: *is getting nervous*
KY: WHO DID IT!?
Shippou: *backs up very scared*
