Chapter 3: Life Is But A Dream

A/N: Sorry it has taken me so long to update this one! Work has been hectic the last couple of weeks, they keep changing my shifts up on me. . .One day, I work my regular shift(11p.m. to 7 a.m.), and the next day, they put me on day shift. . . .grrr. . . .
And I’ve got one or two other stories on here that I’m working on, If you’ve read the Inuyasha/Kagome fanfic I have posted . . .have faith, it is due for a rewrite, I realized the other day while I was rereading it that I left a lot of important stuff out, like just what in the hell actually happened to Kikyo, What can I say, sleep deprivation does that to a person. . .XD

Warning!! There is a bit of nonconsent, and yaoi, and torture in this chapter!! Do not read if that kind of thing bothers you!

Life Is But A Dream

Kagome’s eyes filled with tears, and hope dared to blossom in her heart at his words. . .

“Kagome, Ayame and I never . . .” he started saying, but mysteriously faded away to nothing. Kagome looked around frantically, and noticed that the entire forest was fading into dark shades of gray and black. . .

“What the. . .?” she exclaimed, and was sharply brought back to reality as she woke up.
She looked around, and realized that when she had stopped to rest against the base of the tree, she had fallen asleep. She noticed that she had not been asleep too long, as the sun had not moved very far in the sky, and for that she was grateful. She really needed to finish her herb gathering so that she could tend to Kikyo before her birthing pains got too bad.

“I can’t believe that was just a dream,” she muttered to herself as she went about her business, “It was so vivid, so life-like. . .”

A chill wind moved through the trees of the forest, and she decided it was high time to don her red cloak. ‘That’s the great thing about a firerat cloak, they are always sooo warm. . ‘ she thought to herself, as she pulled it from her pack. Her old, but faithful yellow pack had fallen apart at the seams, here in recent months and she had been forced to construct her own. She had used bamboo to make a basic frame, and rough, but sturdy burlap cloth made up the actual pack she had made. It might not be the most beautiful thing in the world, but it was definitely serviceable, and had twice as much storage capacity as her old pack. All in all, she thought she had done a pretty good job of it.

After putting on her cloak, she realized she only had a few more herbs to get and quickly set about the business of rooting them out of the floor of the forest, and try as she might she just could not seem to get the dream she had of Kouga out of her mind.

“I should stop trying to fool myself, he HAS A Mate,” she reiterated to herself, with the hopes that if she kept saying it, eventually her heart would be able to accept them as truth. “Dammit, why does the truth have to hurt so much. . .”

The same pair of cerulean blue eyes watched her as she woke and progressed through the forest once again. . . . ‘I wonder what she was dreaming of that got her into such a bother,’ he thought to himself, ‘Should I go out and reveal myself?’
The lone wolf demon shook his head decisively, ‘No, not yet, I must restrain myself, she is mated to Inuyasha, or so I assume. I could only dream that she didn’t mate the stupid dogshit half-breed. . . .And besides, I’ve just gotten back and I haven’t even seen to the needs of my own pack yet, Thank the Kami’s I didn’t have to serve the bitch known as Ayame for longer than a year. Who knew that such a sweet, innocent exterior held such a beastly dark, cruel woman. . . ‘

As his sat in the high branches of the tree, his mind drifted back over some of the crueler “punishments” Ayame had visited on him during the past year. He really had been able to get out of being mated and was bound to the sick and twisted female wolf by being her servant for the time period of one year. The only downfall was that he had to obey ANYTHING she commanded him to do. Much like Inuyasha had been, Kouga had been forced to wear a subjagation necklace. While it didn’t respond to just one word, or act in the same way the hanyou’s had, it made him obey her every command. . . .

He still remembered the first time he had tried “disobeying” his “master” . . . .

~FLASHBACK~

He thought back to the first day they had arrived, his subjagation beads a clear reminder that he had no choice but obey her every command. Ayame had leaned in close to him as soon as her den and pack had come into sight, “You are now my slave, and you will be forced to do whatever I decide to have you do, all because of these,” she said darkly, fingering the beads around his neck before she continued, “Let it suffice for me to say that the next year will not be “pleasant” for you.” As they had drawn closer and closer to her den she had continued speaking to him, “You will pay for choosing a filthy, weak HUMAN female over such a fine bitch as myself. . .” He could feel his stomach sinking further with every word out of her mouth, and he had nearly jumped out of his skin as her hand had quickly snaked under his pelt to grab his manhood, and start stroking it. He felt himself harden to a painful point until he heard the next words out of her mouth, “Ever wonder what it would be like to be an entire pack’s bitch, boy?”

He had been in Ayame’s den for only two weeks, the first time she decided to publicly
humiliate him. He could still remember all of the details clearly in his mind. She had him stripped, and bathed, before she brought him to the center part of the main cave. She had ordered him to hold his hands in the air as if they were tied there with rope, and then he was forced to sit on a chair, naked as the day he was born, as she spread his legs to either side of the chair, leaving his limp member open for all to display. She had summoned her entire pack for this, and eager as they were to see some sign of retribution for the abrupt dismissal he had given their alpha, they all shouted words of encouragement to her, along with several ideas, which he prayed she wouldn’t take into consideration.

“Silence!” Her voice rang out to all of her pack. They obeyed the command very quickly, for they knew that even though the rest of the world thought she was just a sweet innocent. They also knew that is just exactly what she WANTED the world to think. . .
“I have brought you all here to witness the downfall of this “Great Ookami Wolf Demon Prince”. He chose a mortal over ME! A filthy, weak, pathetic NINGEN! It is time for him to pay the price! The High Council has given me leave to use him as my servant for one year! After paying this measly price, he will be free of me, and will be able to take that human as his mate. . . . I say it is only fair that we receive payment from his flesh! NE?” She shouted to her pack, and as soon as she had finished her tirade, she had looked down on him where he sat in his chair. Still naked and growing ever more fearful about what she intended to do with him.

She looked at her pack once more, “I think we should teach him the lesson of “no release”, ne?” she had said with an ominous tone. With her pack’s encouragement behind her, she swiftly reached down and grabbed his member in her hand, and roughly pumped it to make it harden. He tried to keep his body under his control, but at a whispered command from his new ‘master’, his own body had betrayed him. Once she had him aroused and hard, she had reached into a pouch at her belt and pulled out a long, thin piece of leather. “What are you doing, Ayame?” he couldn’t help but ask. She didn’t answer him, but stared straight into his eyes as she reached down and swiftly knotted the leather around the base of his member. . . . .he couldn’t keep back the low whine that escaped him as she did this, and then she proceeded to wind it tighter and tighter around the base of his cock, he noticed she had finally stopped, and was looking back up at him again. Meeting her gaze, he watched as she grinned evilly, and reached back down to take his balls into her hands. . . .

That was the first and last time he had ever tried to resist her commands. . . .
He had started struggling, and trying to resist when he felt the beads start to tighten around his neck. . .he couldn’t breathe. . .stars were forming in front of his eyes. . .and he quit struggling if only for the chance to see “His Woman’ once again. . .he did not want to die like this. . .

Once his struggling had stopped, she had reached out again for his balls and this time succeeded in wrapping them tightly as well. Once he was ‘Bound’ to her satisfaction, she ordered the women to leave, and bade only the unmated males to stay, which still left a good fifty young and lusty wolf demons in their midst. Once they, and the unmated males were the only ones left, she leaned in close to Kouga and whispered in his ear,”I was going to show you a little mercy and have you properly greased before tonight’s session with the boys. But now, seeing how you tried to resist my intentions earlier, I think they will be allowed to take your ‘virginity’ without the aid of lubricant. . .” once said, she lightly licked the rim of his ear, and he felt her fingertips brush across his member once more. She stepped away from him, and he felt himself start to get physically sick as he realized what she had planned for him. . . .

“Kouga, stand, move away from the chair, and then get on your hands and knees.” He forcefully did as he was told, and then shuddered at her next command. “Open your mouth, and do not close it until I allow you to.” His jaws flew apart, and stayed locked. “Oh, and spread your legs a bit more, makes entry easier, hn” she said the last part with a little chuckle. “Ok boys,” she said looking at the remaining males in the room, “He’s all yours for the rest of the night, I’ll just borrow your seat, surely you don’t mind now do you Kouga? I think I’m going to enjoy the rest of this evening. .” she said with a sick merriment in her voice. “Come now boys, you are part of my pack, shyness does not become you. . .” Slowly the first two males of the night came up to him, one positioning himself at Kouga’s mouth, the other made to go behind him. Kouga couldn’t help but tense himself as he felt the other man place his member at Kouga’s entrance behind. He felt hot tears gather in his eyes as he awaited the double penetration. One second. . . . .two seconds . . . .three “Now!” he heard from Ayame, and he couldn’t keep the tears from overflowing as both of the male wolves tore into him with abandon. . . .this was was going to be, by far the worst and longest night of his life. . . .
If only he had known how wrong he was. . . . . .

~End Flashback~

He shook himself viciously, trying to dislodge the memories of the worst of the “Punishments” she had inflicted upon him. That first time was a cakewalk, compared to some of the other things he had had to endure, he remembered the time she had even gone so far as finding a poor virgin peasant girl who had resembled Kagome so much it was astonishing. . .he had been made to rape her her, among the other things he ahd been forced to do to the poor girl. . .

But no, that was the past, and wasn’t Kagome who had always said, “The past is behind us. Learn from your mistakes and move on?”

Even though he loved her dearly, he knew that he could never have her simply because her heart belonged to the hanyou, whether she and Inuyasha had ever mated or not. So he would be content to be her friend, just as long as he could be around her. There was something about her that calmed him deep within his soul whenever he was around her.

But he decided it would be a good idea for him to go home, to his own den and pack. It would give him a chance to heal, at least a little bit, from the horrible scars Ayame had left him with, and he would be able to tend to his pack as he needed. He needed that, at least that one reassurance after all he had been through. The assurance of acceptance by one’s pack was better than almost anything in the world. He was thankful that the only ones who knew of what he had really gone through while under Ayame’s edict were his trusted pack brother’s, Ginta and Hakkaku, they had brought him a healer, every time he had returned to his resting place after another session of the more degrading and sick punishments that Ayame had devised for him. She had allowed them to come with him, even though she knew they didn’t have to follow her commands like Kouga did. He had forbidden them from seeking retribution for the cruel acts she inflicted upon him. She didn’t see anything wrong with the arrangement, and figured it would just give her witnesses who would tell Kouga’s pack of all they had seen their master be subjected to. What she didn’t know was that, Kouga’s own parents had become foster parents for the pair of brothers after their own parents had been killed by rogue demons. He trusted them with his life, and knew that he would be able to entrust them with this secret as well, and that they would guard it to their last breath. They knew just how dangerous it would be for their beloved leader to be seen as “Weak” by his pack. They also knew that after the past year, he needed the comforts that only one’s own pack. . .or mate, could provide.. .

"KAGOME!! Get BACK here! My MATE is in LABOR! You damn BAKA!!"
He heard Inuyasha call from the edge of the clearing. . . . .'His MATE? is in Labor??'
'She didn't mate him, but I thought she loved him. . .maybe I'll stick around awhile longer. . .find out what is really going on. . .'
