Chapter 6


Kagome awoke to the sounds of whistling wind. She jolted upright and felt a sharp throbbing pain in her temples. She groaned and tried to rub away the
headache but it didn't help. Kagome looked around the huge room that was dimly lit by candles spaced far apart to avoid total darkness, but prevent waking its
occupants. Her yellow back pack was at arms reach.

She was setting on something more comfortable than her mattress at home. It was a large futon, roughly the size of a king sized bed, covered in linens. Her
ears picked up the sound of water dripping in the distance.

As Kagome's feet hit the cold stone floor she suddenly realized that this isn't a traditional room, but a cave, that explained the sound of water. Her eyes darted
around the room to make sure she was alone, "Where the hell am I...wait...Kouga....he brought me here, this must be where he lives." Being in his private den
made her very nervous.

Kagome looked around and saw a dark hallway no more than about 14 feet long with a large round entrance. It was covered in skins to block out the cool
night air. 'It's dark outside!? How long have I been asleep?' Kagome peeked around the curtain when she heard voices. There were several wolves, both male
and female, lounging about and talking. 'Just my luck, they would have to be sitting right by the door so I can't leave without being spotted!'

Kagome picked up one of the candles, 'I might as well look around, maybe there is another way out of here.'

She walked down a short hallway that branched off to rooms on her left and right and one at the very end. She entered the first room and was surprised to see
furniture! 'I never knew the wolf tribe used furniture!' On one side of the room was a large honey colored oak wardrobe with finely carved handles and
multiple shelves on top.


Toward the middle of the cabinet were T shaped hangers, used to keep kimonos from wrinkling. A few of Kouga's fur wraps, leg and arm bands and extra
armor hung inside. Kagome noticed multiple rolls of white bandage like material laying on one of the shelves. They were wider than the ones Kouga used to
wrap his feet with, and that's when it hit her, "oh yeah, how stylish" Kagome commented "I get to say bye bye to my comfy bras and start sporting the mummy
look. Great! Could things get any worse!"

She threw the bindings back in the cabinet and shut the door while rolling her eyes in disgust. There was a beautifully decorated shouji screen with a picture of
a woman standing in a flower garden, surrounded by exotic birds and holding a fan. It was beautiful and she couldn't help but stand there and admire the fine
details.


A long dresser stretched along the opposite wall. On top was a hand mirror, brush and combs to decorate a woman's hair. She opened drawers that all held
crisp white linens that nearly glowed in the candle light. A large rug was rolled up and placed against the farthest wall.
Once again the wind whistled and Kagome noticed small air holes in the caves ceiling and a few in the walls. None of them were big enough to get out of,
some were so small you could only fit your hand through.

The second room was a fair sized kitchen with a low table and several cabinets that held various cooking utensils and cleaning rags. Bins were filled with rice,
fruit and fresh vegetables, waiting to be used. This room had a much larger air vent in the high ceiling and directly under it was a fire pit and a large metal pot.

The final room appeared to be a living room. An expertly sewn fur rug covered almost the entire area. In the center was a table surrounded by plush pillows
of various colors. Kagome noticed an empty shelf against one wall that was tall to enough to store many books.


As she walked back to the main bedroom the trickling sound of water seemed to be louder. It was coming from the wall past the bed. She approached while
holding the candle out in order to see where the sound was coming from. That was when she discovered a narrow entrance that led to a hot spring! "Yes!"
Kagome cheered, "My life just got a little better! At least I can have a hot relaxing bath (eyes narrowing) as long as Kouga doesn't decide to join me!"

Another cabinet sat near by containing what passed for towels in this era. Lotions and bath oils in fancy glass bottles adorned the top. At the side of the
spring was a pretty white porcelain tray styled in the shape of a feather. It held several bars of soap; some smelled like flowers while the others smelled like
herbs. The scents were feminine and masculine.

Kagome noticed how dusty her hands were and rinsed them off in the warm water. She thought it was sweet of Kouga to go through the hassle of buying
lotions and soaps just for her. But make no mistake, she was still angry at him and she still wanted to go home.

The voices outside suddenly became louder and she thought Kouga's name was mentioned. Kagome dashed back to the bedroom, sat the candle down, and
hopped onto the futon. Out of the corner of her eye she could see another doorway that hid itself in the darkness, but there was no time to investigate further.


She watched as a tall figure made it's wown own the hall and into the room. Kouga walked in holding an oval shaped platter of steaming fish and rice mixed
with vegetables. "Hey, you're awake. It's about time. I was starting to get worried about you." Kouga smiled at her waiting for some type of response, good
or bad, but she said nothing.

He went into the kitchen and put their dinner on the table. Kagome's scent was every where, letting him know that she explored their home during his absence.
Kouga returned and sat down on the edge of the bed. Kagome scooted further toward the wall but refused to make eye contact with him. "I guess you're still
angry at me, huh?" no answer, "well, do you want to come with me and have dinner? We should eat while it's still hot." still no answer. Kougalue lue eyes
sparkled with laughter and affection for this stubborn female.

Without warning, he grabbed Kagome and flung her across his shoulder, now that got a response! "Kouga you jerk, put me down NOW!!" Her angry voice
echoed through the caves and the wolves nearby laughed at her shouting and attempts to give orders to their leader.


They all new that if anyone could tame Kouga, it would be Kagome, but now they wondered who the wild one really was!


"I can't let my mate starve, so I'm just helping you to the table. Speaking of tables, what du thu think of our home?" Kagome yanked his tail hard causing him
to yelp, "Don't do that woman! My tail is very sensitive!"


"This is not OUR home, it is YOUR home and I am just a prisoner here!" Kouga sighed and sat her down at the kitchen table. "Let's not debate this issue on
an empty stomach mate." Kouga set out two plates and two sets of chopsticks. Kagome had to admit that the food smelled good.


He scooped some fish that was sprinkled with red pepper onto her plate along with rice and vegetables. She was surprised that he did this because it was
always the woman who served the man his food.

Kagome's stomach growled and Kouga started laughing. "What's so funny!?"
"No pun intended, but that sounded like a pack of hungry wolves!" Kouga continued laughing but noticed how embarrassed she looked, "I'm so proud that
you're going to be mate Kagome, not just because you are beautiful, smart, funny, strong, stubborn and kind, but because you are fearless when it comes to
fighting for what you believe in and defending the ones you love."


'Now how could any girl stay mad after a speech like that!' Kagome went from embarrassed to frustrated instantly. She reluctantly admitted that if the
situation were different, she might actually enjoy his company, but she still thought Kouga had a selfish streak a mile wide.


Every time they met, things were always about what he wanted, he never stopped to ask what she wanted. Kagome also viewed the wolf youkai as being a
little immature after watching him fight with Inuyasha numerous times. 'Who goes around constantly calling someone dog turd, dog face, dog breath and dog
boy? Grow up! Inuyasha can't help it because he is part DOG demon! Speaking of Inuyasha, just wait till I get my hands on him! I'm gonna rip his ears off
and stick them up his.."

"Kagome! Hey anybody home in there?" Kouga waved his hand in front of her face. He watched her zone out and wondered what she was thinking about, but
when she started looking spit fire mad, he knew it was time to snap her out of her trance. "Are you okay?" Kouga asked with his mouth full.

He handed her a napkin which she laid in her lap. "Kouga, don't talk with your mouth full."

"Yes mom." he said in a quiet voice.

"What did you say?" Kagome gave him a look that made him want to crawl under the table and hide "uh....nothing." 'Damn! She will make a good mother!' he
thought.


She picked up her chopsticks and started eating. After dinner was over and the dishes were washed and dried, Kouga took the platter and started walking
toward the front entrance "I'm going to return this plate to Akai, so I'll be right back." She watched as he walked out and headed down the rocky trail.

When she was sure he was out of sight, Kagome snuck out of the cave. She tried to be quiet and not slip on the jagged rocks that made up the mountain path.


Kouga's den was very high up and you could see other dens that were chiseled into the mountain side. She had just reached the bottom, when a brown blur
flashed before her eyes. Kagome was startled and ran the opposite direction. "Down!" Her knees and hands hit the ground that was littered with rocks andrt. rt. She winced with pain as they dug into her skin from the pressure of her weight resting on them. Kouga could smell her blood and felt guilty, 'I should
have just caught her and carried her back to our home, now she is injured and it's my fault.'

After a few minutes the spell wore off and Kouga helped her stand up, "Why did you run off Kagome? Please don't do that again, I hate using the subduing
spell on you."

"Sure you do." she whined while wiping off the bits of gravel and dirt.


That comment pissed Kouga off big time! "Are you trying to say that I would purposely hurt my soon-to-be mate? Do you have any idea what an insult that is
Kagome?" the anger in his voice made her cautiously look into his eyes. "That deeply hurts me for you to make the insinuation that I would abuse the woman
I love and have chose to spend my life with. Wolf youkai respect and honor our mates, we're not like humans who beat and verbally batter their women."

"No, you just control them with subduing spells when they don't want to be your mate." Kouga looked at her, his eyes filled with hurt and guilt, as he grabbed
her arm to lead her back to the den, "Come on, lets get you cleaned up." his voice was low and lacked any emotion.
Ko
Kouga motioned for her to sit down on the bed while he went into the bath room to get a wet towel and some ointment.

He crouched down in front of Kagome and took her hands, holding them out and inspecting the damage. Her palms were covered in tiny cuts and bruises were
now forming. Kouga gently wiped her wounds clean of all debris but they wouldn't stop bleeding.
The scent of her blood was heaven to his nose. Kouga leaned forward a little more, unable to resist his youkai instincts.


Kagome gasped as his warm wet tongue cleansed her injured skin over and over again. It felt so good and soothing. Kouga could smell her growing arousal
as he let her hands rest in her lap.

He pushed her sleeves up and started to lick her wrists and arms. Kagome unknowingly relaxed her legs enough for Kouga to push his body between them.
Her face held a passion drunk expression from his affections. He knew Kagome had never been touched in such ways and that every touch affected her ten
times more than an experienced female.

Kouga sat on his knees with one of her small legs on each side of him. He buried his fin hin her chest and inhaled the scent that identified her as Kagome, the
one and only woman he would fully give himself to. His arousal was pressed against the crotch of her jeans as his fingers started to caress her thighs through
the rough fabric. Kouga kissed her softly, not wanting to ruin the moment by frightening her.

Kagomes mind was in a fog of pleasure. This was all so new to her and she couldn't help but enjoy the wolf prince's attention, but when she felt something hard
pressing against her most intimate area, her mind snapped back to reality. She took in a sharp breath against Kouga's lips and he stopped kissing her, "What's
wrong love?"

Kagome pushed him away, enough to close her legs and shift her position away from him. "I'm not ready for this Kouga. This isn't how my life is supposed to be."

Kouga didn't understand what she meant, "What do you want from life Kagome?" She was stunned that he asked this question. This is the same man that
earlier that evening she thought was selfish, but for the first time, he really seemed to care about her needs.

"I always thought that I would finish high school and go on to college where I would meet a nice guy. We would get married, have kids and a cute house with
a picket fence. Education is very important to me. In my time all woman are educated at schools, just like men, so you can find a good job and make a living."
Kouga watched her not fully comprehending what she was talking about.


"Are you afraid that I can't take of you and our pups? I know I don't have the ed-u-ka-sion that you do but I do know how to read and write, hunt, cook and
raise pups, plus I'm leader of this pack. My pack is strong and we all take care of each other."

Kagome could tell he was concerned, "It's not just a matter of what you can or can't provide, but I don't belong in this time Kouga. I miss my mom, grand
father and little brother. If Kikyo has come back to life then I have no real purpose here. Plus, I'm not ready to be a mom, I'm too young."


"I'll wait for you. We don't have to have pups now."


"That's beside the point Kouga......"

He interrupted " Why can't you accept the fact that you are needed here, you were destined to be with me. If it was never meant for us to meet then the well
wouldn't have brought you here and you would not have the ability to see the shards. If you didn't tell Inuyasha that I had three shards the first time we met, I
would have just seen you as another human girl, but when I took you and had the chance to talk to you alone, I knew you were meant to be mine." Kouga
leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.


She knew it was pointless to argue with him. He applied some ointment to her hands and rubbed it into her skin until is was fully absorbed. Kouga handed her
the oversized pack, "Why don't you get changed and let's get some sleep," he yawned and stretched, "I'm tired."

Kagome unzipped her pack and took out a pair of pajamas. She went into the bathing room and changed while Kouga went to the dressing room to get a
sleeping yukata for himself, 'How am I gonna sleep in this thing?' he thought 'I always sleep nude but I don't think Kagome would like that!'

Kouga could visualize Kagoma laying in bed as he came walking in stark naked. 'She would probably kick my ass!' Kouga laughed out loud while putting on
the knee length yukata. He heard Kagome return to the room and climb in bed.

The thought of being next to her ALL night and not being able to act on his desires was near torture! Her clean, refreshing scent enticed him even more, but he
told his body to behave. Kouga took his hair down and ran his fingers through it in order to work out the tangles.

Kouga grinned when he saw her hed oed on the edge of the bed with the big blanket tucked around her body and her hands grasping it like it would disappear
at any moment. He decided to have some fun at Kagome's expense.


Kouga slowly approached the bed looking like the perditor he is. Each of his steps were careful and quiet, he extended his arms outward, away from his body
and flexed his claws.

She watched him obviously frightened by his change of attitude. Those piercing blue eyes never left hers as he suddenly made a leap for the bed.

Kagome was tangled in the blanket so she screamed and tucked her head under the covers waiting for whatever he planned to do to her, all she could hear was
...................laughing? She eased the covers back until her eyes were showing and glared at Kouga. He was very close, almost sitting on top of her, laughing
hysterically, "hahahahaha, you should...haha.... have ..seen.... hahaha ...your face. I thought you were going to shit your pants, BUWHAHAHAHAHAHA!"


By this time Kagome was anything but scared, "You Ass!" she drew back, ready to slap some sense into him when he caught her hand, "Now, now woman, no
slapping your future mate." Kouga turned her around and cuddled her back against his chest. He pulled the blanket around them and snuggled as close as he
could get to her, placing a kiss behind her ear, "Good night love."


Her body was stiff as a board. Kagome could feel something poking her lower back. She laid there hoping Kouga didn't plan on doing anything else to her.
Eventually, sleep took over and she relaxed, her breath evening out and heart softly thudding in her chest. Kouga stayed awake a little longer listening to her
and loving how smooth the exposed skin on her arms felt. "I'm the luckiest wolf in the whole world."

With that final thought Kouga buried his nose in her hair and entered the land of dreams.
