Chapter 3: Starting A New Life

Kouga quickly dragged Inuyasha into his room calling back a “he gets to stay with meeeee” in a song singing voice as he went. “You can sleep here” he said happily indicating a large furred area of the floor. It was actually the young ookami’s bed, but he never really used it so he was giving it to the half inu to use.

Inuyasha quickly shook his head “I couldn’t take your bed.” He said.

Kouga shrugged “Not like I ever use it. I like the floor better.” He stated. Then as if to prove his point he curled up on the floor in the corner farthest from the door into his room, and with a yawn he started to drift off.

Inuyasha watched Kouga, was the floor really that comfortable? He glanced back at the offered bed well he might as well. He made his way to the bed and laid down curling up into a ball, bringing the furs to be used as covers with him. He laid there for what felt like forever twisting and turning before he couldn’t take it anymore. It was to quite, and the furs were to hot but if he took them off he was to cold, and it was not the same sleeping in a bed after having slept in trees for nearly a month.

Finally he decided that maybe it would be ok if he slept outside, so he got up and crawled over to Kouga. “Kouga” he whispered, not really wanting to wake him but wanting to ask if it was ok if he sleep outside. When he didn’t get a response from the sleeping form he raised his voice some and tried again “Kouga” he asked. This time his response was an incoherent mumble from the other boy and him uncurling slightly from the ball he had fallen asleep in. He decided to give it one more try before just giving up and going out to sleep in the trees anyway “Kouga” he stated a bit louder.

This time the other boy mumbled louder and woke slightly. Kouga didn’t even bother to partly opening his eyes he could tell who it was by smell “lay ‘ack dow’ ” he mumbled. When the other didn’t comply he grabbed him about the waist and pulled him onto the floor beside him “now go sleep” he mumbled again shifting to where he was on his back and Inuyasha’s head was on his chest.

Inuyasha was to surprised at first to object, and by the time he recovered enough /to/ object to this new position he had discovered it was rather comfortable. The sound of Kouga’s breathing was enough to counter act the quite, and the other’s body heat counteracted his being cold from being on the stone floor. ‘Kouga was right, this is nice’ he thought as he finally drifted off to sleep.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

The next day both boys woke not long before the sun to the smell of food. When they ventured out of Kouga’s room for breakfast Inuyasha discovered what he had had the night before waiting for him and Kouga, was this how it always was? Well he didn’t care what it was, the point was that he had food. He quietly ate what was offered him watching Kouga, Lowen, and Jugon converse from his place beside Kouga and across from Lowen.

Once breakfast was over Lowen quickly shoed out both her sons. “You two go play, but Kouga please stay away from the alpha. He is allowed to stay with us, but he has to prove he can be a member of a pack before Moro will allow him into the pack fully” she told them before returning to collect the dishes.

It was all so odd, there were so many members to the pack he met several of Kouga’s friends within moments of leaving then den, he could hardly remember all of their names and they were asking so many questions.

“So where is your pack?” Nou asked.

“Ya why aren’t you with them?” Bushou added.
“They are dead. My reidou died when I was little and my daifu was killed not long ago.” Inuyasha replied.

“Ooooo, so that’s why you are with Lowen and Jugon.” Ritoruikko replied “So how come you do live with them any ways?”

“Kouga found me first, and then Lowen followed him to me.” Inuyasha replied. He was getting a bit tired of these questions. They had been at this for hours now, and had laughed for nearly ten minutes at his name before being informed by Kouga that he was to become a member of the pack, and for some reason that shut them up and they hadn’t said a thing more about his name, nor had they even called him by it.

“Ha, you got found by that runt. You must not be a very good inu then.” Tenpahi sneered.

Kouga snorted at this, but took it as it was; after all that was nice for Tenpahi. Just then some of the she wolves of the pack appeared “come on you lot time for noon meal” they said herding the boy towards the communal eating area. Once lunch was over he quickly pulled Inuyasha away before his friends could start asking more questions “Come on lets go” he whispered when the half hesitated.

Inuyasha had no clue why Kouga as trying to pull him away, but then again it was bound to be better then listening to several more hours of questions from Kouga’s friends, so he followed the ookami.

First Kouga dragged Inuyasha back to their den, calling a quick “Hello Reidou” as he passed Lowen on his way to his room and another quick by “bye Reidou” as he passed her again on his way back out with a small bag slung over his shoulder. Grabbing Inuyasha again he dragged him towards the woods “Come on lets get out of here for a while.” He said once the other was following him on his own.

He finally stopped when he reached a lake, it really wasn’t that large of a lake, but it was a nice place to swim “Come on” he said happily to Inuyasha as he striped down and made his way into the lake.

Inuyasha just stared after Kouga for a long moment as he tried to figure out what he was doing, then it hit him, swimming. He quickly pulled of his clothes and followed Kouga into the water. It felt good actually, he hadn’t bothered to take a bath in a couple of days as his clothes were so dirty now it would do no real good. Yes he had cleaned his clothes, but he wasn’t very good at it and they had become stained and he just couldn’t get them properly clean. Thoughts of his clothes quickly left his mind however as his ankle was grabbed and he was dragged under the water.

Kouga laughed “I got you” he cheered happily when he allowed the other to surface again, earning himself a rather evil grin from the half inu. “Ummm” he said slowly attempting to back away from the inu. He wasn’t fast enough however and before he got three feet he was yanked under the water himself.

“And I got you.” Inuyasha cheered as well, and what ensued quickly became a very large and noisy water fight. Which only ended as they noticed the sun was starting to set.

“Oops we should get back soon, or we won’t get an evening meal.” Kouga said dunking under the water one last time before heading for the shore where he fell to all fours and shook off much like a dog, tail and all.

Inuyasha sighed, well he was rather tired after so long swimming, and food did sound good so he quickly followed Kouga to the shore. He pulled his self out of the water and shook his head to free his hair of the worst of the water before heading for his clothes.

“Did you want to borrow some clothes?” Kouga asked spotting the other movements. When all he earned was an odd look he continued on “Well it’s just that yours seemed to need some cleaning and mending, and that’s hard to do if you are wearing them. So I just thought you could borrow some of mine till yours could be mended, and we could get you some new ones as well. After all you can’t wear the same thing all the time.” The ookami stated as he pulled on a new skirt that matched his one on the ground that he had gotten from the small bag he had brought with them.

Inuyasha thought for a moment, Kouga was right and he had been thinking along those lines before their fight had ensued. Finally he nodded and was thrown an outfit that exactly matched Kouga’s; from the skirt to the leggings, to the arm pieces it was the same. After he had it all on he made his way to the lake looking him self over, wow he didn’t look so bad in this, maybe he could get used to it. After all the other members of the pack had been wearing similar things to this, and if he was to be a proper member of the pack…

Yes that settled it he would speak to Kouga later about just getting something like his outfit.

Once they were both dressed and Kouga had shoved their worn clothes in the bag he had brought they headed back to the pack. When they got to the den they were greeted by a not so happy Lowen “And where have you both been?” she asked sternly, and sounding more then a bit mad.

Inuyasha looked away form her gaze “Sorry Lowen, we were just swimming. Then the time just got away from us.” He stated and look back at her with a ‘please don’t be mad’ look in his eyes.
