Chapter 2: Inuyasha Who?

The she wolf kept her gaze firmly on the two boys before her; Almost as if studding them. Finally she decided that it would be ok to move and her upper lip twitched, curling up into a snarl, and was soon followed by a low growl. “So this is who you were hiding Kouga. Some barely grown half Inu. Is this where you have been coming all week? To see this /thing/.” She stated her voice barely above a whisper and holding a rather dangerous under tone behind the growl.

Kouga dropped his gaze from her’s slightly and in a voice to quite for even her to hear spoke to the boy behind him. “I’m sorry Inuyasha. I didn’t realize they wouldn’t like you, so I never thought to try and hide your sent on my clothes or my self. Then last night when I went home apparently it was really strong, because when I got part of the way here this morning I realized she was following me. That’s when I started to run, and that’s why I didn’t call before I got here. I’m sorry, but don’t worry I’ll make her see your nice and maybe she will let you stay with us.” He explained to the half inu.

Then returning his attention to the she wolf he spoke a bit louder, but still in subdued tones. “I wasn’t hiding him, we were just playing games together and I didn’t see any reason to tell you who all of the people I play with are. After all it’s not like you’ve ever cared before who I played with before now. So I just didn’t think you would care if I was playing with him.

The she wolf’s growl grew “How dare you speak to me like that, as if I were some common Bitch. I am your reidou and you will show me proper respect you whelp or you will be given to Moro to be dealt with.” She growled out using her same undercurrent of danger as it held when she spoke the time before. Receiving nothing in reply from Kouga the she wolf advanced on her sotsu and the half inu he was shielding, but this was met with a reaction.

Kouga suddenly started to growl, he didn’t know why his reidou’s advance caused him so much worry, but it did. Some how he /knew/ she meant harm to his new friend and he just couldn’t have that, and since he had gotten Inuyasha into this he was going to get him out of it. However he had to.

The she wolf narrowed her eyes on her sotsu. “Are you growling at me? How dare you..” she smacked him hard across the face “..growl at me. You are nothing more then a pup playing at being grown. What do you think you are going to do? Fight me?” she asked.

Inuyasha whimpered again hunching down behind Kouga a bit more. He hadn’t meant to get his new friend into trouble, and from what Kouga had said he hadn’t meant to get him found either, so both had not meant to do what they had done. “I...I’m sorry.” He finally spoke up his voice shaking greatly.

The she wolf turned her gaze from Kouga to the whimpering half inu behind him. “Sorry is it? Sorry for coming into our territory and trying to take one of our pack members? Or sorry for being caught?” she snapped at the silver haired form.

Inuyasha took a moment to respond as he gazed at the she wolf, who was Kouga’s dam, with a look of disbelief and shock. “I…I…No...I would never do that. I am just here because...because the humans who’s village I was in was attacked by my daifu. He didn’t know I was there, but after the villagers finally managed to kill him they ran me out. They said they didn’t want the hanyu sotsu of the demon who had just killed half their village living with them anymore.” He managed to finally get out. While closing his eyes and concentrating on his words had allowed him to be able to control the wavering of his voice a bit more that time bit it had still been rather bad. So when he reopened his eyes and noticed the look on the she wolf’s face he gasped and steeped back, her eyes were alive with anger.

Suddenly the she wolf began to growl even louder causing Kouga to crouch down into a defensive position between her self and this half inu behind him. “There is no need for that Kouga.” She stated in a surprisingly calm voice considering the anger evident in her eyes. Once Kouga had moved she studied the fully reviled inu ningen for what seemed like forever before reaching out and gathering him into her embrace. “Poor little thing” she murmured into his silver hair “Don’t you worry now. I’ll keep you safe now.” She added shifting her hold and rocking his slowly. He was underweight, she could fill it, and he was scared she could tell by the way his body and voice shook. No he was not lying and she did not have the heart to ask what had become of his reidou, not if his daifu had been the Demon, she could only imagine what could have become of a ningen woman after she bore a half inu child in a ningen village. What ever it was had probably been what had in the end prompted his daifu to attack the village, and she couldn’t say she blamed him. She would slaughter anyone who ever dared to hurt her mate.

Kouga let out a breath he didn’t know he had been holding; good his reidou was not mad any more. She was even hugging Inuyasha; maybe his new friend would be ok after all. He hadn’t yet asked what the half inu was doing in the middle of the forest alone, but the other’s omission to his reidou would certainly explain it. Right then the young Ookami made a silent vow to the half inu ‘From now on in he, Kouga, would protect Inuyasha as he would a true brother or one of the pack and he would not allow any ningen to ever harm him again, Ever’.

Inuyasha whimpered in the she wolf’s grasp, while it felt nice, it hurt. He really didn’t want her to stop though, loosen her grasp yes, release her grasp no, so he didn’t say anything and just shifted a bit trying to ease the pressure on his midsection.

The she wolf seemed to get the hint for she did loosen her grasp “Sorry” she stated nuzzling into his hair. “I am Lowen, Kouga’s reidou, and from now on your reidou too.” She added sitting him down beside Kouga. She turned her gaze onto Kouga “I suppose we she go try and convince your dad of this.” She said with a slightly hesitant smile, which was reflected by the smaller ookami.

Inuyasha looked from one to the other wondering at the look, but didn’t have much time to think before Lowen and Kouga headed back into the forest they way they had come.

When he realized that Inuyasha was not behind them Kouga glanced back at the silver haired inu “Come on you baka Inu Ningen.” He shouted teasingly back at the other boy.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

It was about an hour later that Inuyasha found himself finally following the two Ookami into their den. He had not liked the looks he was receiving from some of the others of the pack as they came in, and was glad to be away form them. Well at least he was until he found him self in the presence of a full-grown male Ookami who was staring at him with anger flaring in his eyes. He quickly retreated to try and hide behind both Kouga and Lowen at the same time, but it was Kouga who reacted first pulling him behind himself just as he had done when Lowen had come for him.

Lowen was not far behind her sotsu with her reaction steeping between both boys and her mate. “You will control your anger /now/.” She stated as more a demand then anything.

“I will do no such thing. Not until you tell me what is that /thing/ is doing in my den.” The he wolf snarled back at Lowen.

“He is not a thing. He is ours, or at least Mine if you will not accept him. I am taking him in to raise.” The she wolf returned snarling just as badly.

“We, nor you, will be doing any such thing. We nor the pack need some half inu weighing us down. Take it back where you found it and leave it there this time.” The male growled back.

“Then I suppose I should take you back to where I found you and leave you too should I?” Lowen growled right back matching her mate’s tone perfectly.

“You what? What do I have to do with that…/thing/” He replied in a slightly surprised tone.

“If I take him back and leave him he will die just as you would have had I not found you that day, Jugon” she replied.

This seemed to stop the male ookami in his tracks. When he didn’t say any thing more for a long moment Inuyasha cautiously appeared form behind Kouga and Lowen’s backs to gaze up at the man. His golden eyes stayed locked onto the shocked black ones of the much older demon. They stayed that way for a long time, neither blinking, nor even seeming to breath; then when Inuyasha finally looked away the ookami seemed much calmer. “Fine he can stay so long as Moro approves. You know the Alpha must approve any stray members brought in.” the man said earning him a nod from Lowen. “I will go talk to him after we have our evening meal.” He added turning his gaze to the she wolf.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

For the rest of the day Inuyasha and Kouga were not permitted to go anywhere out side of Lowen and Jugon’s personal den. And true to his word when the evening meal was over Jugon left to go speak to the Alpha about Inuyasha. The male returned within an hour with a slightly strained smile on his face and he and Lowen went to another room before speaking about what had occurred.

When they returned a short while later Lowen had a wide smile on her face, and Jugon’s smile was looking a bit less forced. Kouga deciding to see what had happened approached his parents slowly “So…Ummm…Where is Inuyasha staying tonight?” he asked hopefully.

Lowen smiled down at her sotsu and merely replied “Inuyasha Who?”…

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Felix: so anyone have any ideas as to what our dear alpha Moro had to say? And what does it have to do with Lowen’s cryptic answer?

Judge: Felix…Don’t you dare say it. Or you will be a muse with no manhood.

Felix: Heh…Ummm…So…Ya. Well either way R,E,& R, and Moro’s name detected to my first loyal reviewer on FF.net .
