An Outsider

~Here’s our new fic!~

Kouga: *Smiles as he sees the cubs running around and exploring their territory, chuckles when one falls out of a tree.* Careful there, Gika. That trees a bit too big for you!

Gika: I can do it Kouga! *Continues to climb the tree that's much too big.*

Kouga: *Lets out a laugh, shakes his head at the sight.* You're going to be a great warrior some day, cub.. *Turns to watch the rest of the cubs when his nose twitches at the scent of sulfur.* (That's strange...I don't smell a fire.) Ginta, Hakkaku! You watch the cubs..I'm going to check on this scent! *Runs off towards the scent.*

Gika: *Whines as Kouga runs off to explore.*

Ginta: Don't worry, Gika! Kouga will be back!

Kouga: *Follows the scent to an open area, growls softly at the sight of a demon laying on top of a rock. Who has white, fur like hair to his shoulders, and two horns along his eyebrow ridge. He has a muscular, fit body with light red scales covering the tops of his hands and small scale covered spines down his back. He is laying face-down on the rock, so the rest of his face is not visible.* Who are you and what are you doing on my land!

Demon: Mm...*He mumbles as he hears a voice shouting at him and shifts away from the voice.*

Kouga: *Growls as the demon ignores him, moves closer.* I asked what you are doing on my land! This belongs to my pack!

Demon: *He mumbles with his face still against the rock.* I'm basking...

Kouga: (He strong...I need to get him away from the cubs!) Well, go 'bask' somewhere else that is not mine!

Demon: *He rolls onto his back, revealing his face. He has a total of three eyes, two a beautiful violet red, and the third, a light blue. He also reveals that he has a piercing on his left ear that connects by a chain to another piercing through his left horn.*

Kouga: (Fuck..He's hot! And what did his do to his horn? It has metal though it!) Good, you can still move. Now get off that rock and leave!

Demon: What's your name?

Kouga: What's it to you? But if you must not I am Kouga, prince of the Northern lands.

Zephyx...*He says as he leaps off of the rock and gathers his clothes.*

Kouga: Well 'Zephyx' You are on my lands and you need to leave them! *Growls.*

Zephyx: I see...*He chuckles as he pulls on his red pants and ties a loose knot on each side. He tilts his head towards a pile of rocks.* May I take those rocks? I'm sure your type of demon has no use for them...

Kouga: If you must know we do use them. But you can take them if it gets you to leave faster! *Growls softly again, puffing out his chest.*

Zephyx: Thank you, Kouga...*He picks the dark colored rocks up and begins to carry them off to his lair upstream.*

Kouga: *Watches as the demon named Zephyx walks away, sighs when the scent of sulfur leaves and begins to head back to the cubs.* (They are safe now..That guy was really strong...Stronger then me even with the jewel shards! I hope he stays away...Thou he was rather good looking.)

Zephyx: (He was from a wolf pack...I could smell it...) *He chuckles softly to himself.* (Normally wolf demons aren't as attractive as he is...) *He keeps walking upstream to his lair in the mountains.*

Kouga: *Chuckles when he walks back to where he left the cubs, feeling Gika hugging his legs.* Hey cub..You good while I was gone?

Gika: I'm fine! *He laughs softly.* What was that strange smell a few minutes ago? It's gone now!

Kouga: It was some demon, but don't worry I made him leave! Did you made it up the tree?

Gika: *He nods happily.* Uh huh! And I got this leaf from the tallest branch for you! *He presents the leaf to Kouga.*

Kouga: Wow! Good job, Gika! And thanks, I shall treasure this! *Takes the left and puts it between his armor to keep it safe till he gets back to the cave.* Now why don't we head back? I'll make sure to get you a nice rabbit on the hunt.

Gika: Thanks! *He runs happily on all fours towards the cave.*

Kouga: *Chuckles at the sight.* (He wants to transform so bad...Sometimes I think he would be happier if he was born a wolf and not a demon..) *Follows him back to the cave.*

Gika: So! *He sits in the middle of the cave.* Was the demon you saw mean! Or ugly!

Kouga: *Walks over to his area of the cave and takes the leaf out and puts it above the straw and furs that made his bed.* I didn't talk to him that much, but he didn't seem mean. And he wasn't ugly. He even had a third eye!

Gika: Woah! Three eyes are scary!

Kouga: *Laughs as he walks over to the young cub.* There are a lot more scary demons then ones with three eyes! But you're a big, strong wolf cub! You're not scared of anything, right!? *Playfully nips Gika's shoulder.*

Gika: No! *He nips back at Kouga, catching the tip of Kouga's nose in his teeth.*

Kouga: *Lets out a little growl to show he's still the alpha, picks the cub up and carries him to his area.* I want you to stay here while I go hunt, I'll bring you back your favorite!

Gika: Ooh! Rabbits! I want to go with you!

Kouga: No, you are to young to go on a hunt. But I will be back with a nice plump rabbit for you! *Pats Gika's head.* Alright?

Gika: Okay! *He smacks his lips and wags his tail in anticipation for the meal.*

Kouga: Good cub. *Smirks at him before he runs out of the cave and meets up with the others on the hunt.*

~About two hours later.~

Zephyx: *He sighs as he comes to a pond he knows is in Kouga's territory.* Forgive me...This one more time shouldn't hurt...*He quickly strips off his pants and submerges himself in the water.* The dust from grinding those stones are all over me...

Kouga: *Chases the sixth rabbit and easily kills it, adds it to the others.* (That should be enough to get us though tonight along with the other kills..) *About to head back when he smells that scent again.* He's back! *Runs towards the scent and sees he's going to the pond, jumps out from behind a bush. His kills still in his hands.* What are you doing back here? I told you to leave!

Zephyx: *He turns around slightly and recognizes the voice.* I apologies...I'm almost done...*He holds his breath and submerges his head in the water, then comes back up, flipping his hair to the side.*

Kouga: *Growls low in his chest at the sight, his eyes follow the water droplets running down Zephyx's chest.* (God, he looks so...so sexy! Wait, what am I sayin' Kagome is my mate, not this demon!) Hurry up then. (I need to get this food back..)

Zephyx: *He begins to swim towards Kouga on the shore and gets out. He stares at his pants in disgust before grabbing them by the seams to shake the black dust off of them.*

Kouga: *Looks away as Zephyx gets out, looks up at the sky, frowns when he sees the sun going down.* (I need to head back..Gika and the others must be starved!)

Zephyx: One thing I hate is crushing rocks...*He says as he gets the last bit of dust off of his pants and puts them on.*

Kouga: Then don't do it. *Looks over at Zephyx, shiver when their eyes meet.* (What's happening? My yokai is..wanting to submit! But I'm alpha!) Are you done yet?

Zephyx: I have to...It's the only way I can feed my flames...And I'm done...*He quickly puts his pants on, not wanting to prolong his stay on Kouga's land.*

Kouga: Good, now leave.. *He growls out as he fights against his yokai, telling him to submit to the much stronger demon. His tail starts to sway back and forth, letting out his musk.*

Zephyx: (I know that scent on any wolf...) *He chuckles as he watches Kouga's tail sway.* Why do you want to mate with me?

Kouga: *Growls as he tries to stop his tail from moving.* I don't! Now leave my land at once! *Growls louder as his tail lets out more musk, trying to entice Zephyx.*

Zephyx: You say that, yet you keep spraying...And it's your submissive scent...*He begins to walk away.* It's your choice...being with a man is much more pleasurable than being with a woman...

Kouga: I already have a mate to be! *Drops his kills before he grabs his tail to stop it from moving.* I can't help it..Plus I’m always alpha! And if I wanted you I would of already mounted you! *Growls when he see the tip of his tail that isn't held wiggling around.*

Zephyx: But you want me to mount you...*He says loudly as the distance between him and Kouga increases.*

Kouga: *Growls loudly and runs after Zephyx, knocking him to the ground.* I am alpha! I do not submit!

Zephyx: *He growls when he feels Kouga on top of him, then rolls him over.* Do not attack me, Kouga...*Smoke begins to emerge from the creases of his mouth and nose.*

Kouga: *Goes limp underneath Zephyx, letting out a whine of submission. Tilts his neck over to show his submission as he lets out more of his musk.* (He's to powerful..I must submit to him..)

Zephyx: *He slowly removes Kouga's hides.* You've never mated with a man before...I can smell it...*He slowly unties his own pants and lets them fall to his knees, exposing his hard cock.* Do you want me?

Kouga: *Whimpers as he thrusts up.* I..I've always topped..I'm the alpha..Bbut..My yokai wants to submit to you...*Moans softly as he lets out even more of his musk, making it surround them.* (Good god! He's huge! I thought I was the biggest!)

Zephyx: *He slowly lowers himself onto Kouga's body and kisses him, his forked tongue parts Kouga's lips as his cock presses against Kouga's ass hole.*

Kouga: *Gasps at the feel of Zephyx's forked tongue, whines as he feels the heat coming off of Zephyx's hard cock. His virgin opening clenches against it.* (This is going to happen...I'm going to be mounted!)

Zephyx: Mm...*He holds Kouga's hips firmly as he enters Kouga's tight, warm, virgin ass.* Kouga...*He moans softly as he feels Kouga's tight opening clench around him.*

Kouga: *Winces at the pain of being stretched, grabs tightly onto Zephyx as he tries to relax.* Ffuck... (God, it this what it feel like to all the ones I've mounted?)

Zephyx: Relax...*He gently begins to thrust into Kouga, searching for the spot that will make Kouga moan.*

Kouga: *Growls softly.* You try to when you have a cock up your ahhhh! *Moans as Zephyx hits something inside him, making pleasure shoot though his body.* More!

Zephyx: There it is...*He nips Kouga's lips as he thrusts into Kouga's newly found prostate.* Feels...so good...

Kouga: Ahh..Yesss...Harder, do me harder! *Digs his claws into Zephyx's back as he pushes his hips down to meet him. Moans in pleasure.*

Zephyx: *He stares into Kouga's eyes as he begins to thrust harder.* You're a natural...*He suddenly pounds Kouga's ass hard, wanting to hear him moan louder.*

Kouga: Ohhhh!! Zzephyx! *Cries out in pleasure at the hard thrusts, claws at Zephyx's back as he moans loudly his body jolting at each thrust.* Oh god...So good!

Zephyx: Mm...*He licks his lips as he reaches down to stroke Kouga's dripping cock in motion with his thrusts.* (He's going to ejaculate...I can feel it...)

Kouga: I'm going to..Ahwoooo! *Howls at his release, clenches tightly around Zephyx's cock.*

Zephyx: (There!) *He moans as Kouga releases into his hand and releases his seed into Kouga's clenching ass.*

Kouga: *Whines softly as he's filled with Zephyx's seed, waits till he's done before he pushes him off and heads to the pond.* (I need to get his scent off! The pack can't smell this!)

Zephyx: *He smirks as Kouga jumps into the pond.* You seem like you're in a hurry...so I'll leave...*He begins to walk back to his lair.* You can come by later if you wish...

Kouga: Whatever! *Dunks under the water and scrubs his body, touches his tender entrance as he pushes out Zephyx's seed. Once he's clean enough he jumps out and shakes the water off. Gets his armor back on and grabs his kills before he runs back to the cave.* (That was amazing...But I'm alpha, I can't keep doing that!)

Zephyx: *He looks back at Kouga as he gets dressed.* (He'll come back...) *He reties his pants as he walks away.*

Kouga: *Runs into the cave and hands out the rabbits to the cubs, keeps two for him and Gika. Smiles when he sees Gika has fallen asleep waiting for him. Sits down next to him as he starts to eat his kill.*

Gika: *He slowly wakes up from smelling fresh blood. He sees Kouga eating his kill.* Rabbits! *He playfully grabs his kill and shakes it in his mouth, pretending to kill it before he begins to eat.*

Kouga: *Chuckles at the orphan cub, takes a bite out of his own.* I told you I'd get you your favorite! And look at you, you're be ready you'll be ready to hunt in a couple of years.

Gika: I can't wait! *He happily eats his share of the kill.* It's so good!

Kouga: It is, I'll hunt for a boar tomorrow. I found some track on the way home today. *Finishes his meal and licks the blood off his fingers and mouth.*

Gika: Oooh! Yummy! *He smacks his lips as he devours the innards of the rabbit.*

Kouga: *Looks around the cave to make sure everyone is okay, chuckles when he sees a couple mating against the wall.* (Looks like we'll have more cubs soon.)

Gika: *He quietly finishes his meal and curls up, tired from a full stomach.* That was good, Kouga...

Kouga: It was..I take it you want to sleep here tonight and not with the others? *Looks over at curled up Gika*

Gika: *He nods as he falls asleep.* This spot is comfy...

Kouga: (Most wouldn't dare sleep on the alpha's spot..But I can't say no to him..) *Grabs a pelt and covers Gika with it.*

Gika: 'Night Kouga...*He curls up in the warm, soft pelt.*

Kouga: Night cub..*Leans back against he wall of the cave as he watches over his pack, slowly falls asleep.*

~With Zephyx~

Zephyx: *He walks back inside his cave with a net with several fish. He lights a fire in the dug out pit in the middle of his cave. He moves close to the fire and begins to eat the fish he caught.* Mm...*He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand.*

Kouga: *Walks up when nature call, carefully stands up, making sure not to wake up Gika before he walks out if the cave and moves his loincloth to relieve himself.* (I..was having dreams of him...He felt amazing. ) *Growls softly as he remembers what happened, his yokai starts to take control when the wind blow. His nose twitches as the old scent of sulfur fills it, his eyes tint red as he follows the scent. His yokai wanting to meet him again.*

Zephyx: *He continues his feast of fish and warms himself next to the fire.* Wait...*He sniffs the air and picks up a familiar scent.* I knew he would come back...*He stands up and carries two fish with him as he sits at the entrance of his lair.*

Kouga: *Runs to where the scent is the strongest his body already reacting to it, letting out his musk as he led to a cave. Lets out a low growl at the sight of Zephyx, his eyes almost completely red now.*

Zephyx: You're here...Are you hungry? *He offers one of his catches to Kouga.*

Kouga: *Blushes lightly as he somewhat gets control of his body, his tail swaying madly as he lets out his musk. His manhood pushing against the loincloth.* No, I'm fine..

Zephyx: *He sniffs the air again and smells Kouga's musk.* Do you want to mate with me again?

Kouga: *Blushes harder when his cock twitches, making the cloth move. Lets out more musk.* I..have to be back before sunrise..

Zephyx: There must be a reason why you came to see me...*He walks closer to Kouga to breath in more of his scent.*

Kouga: *Shudders as Zephyx moves closer, lets out whimpers of submission.* My yokai..wants you..I like to submit to you...

Zephyx: *He runs his black claws through Kouga's hair and down his back.* Come inside with me...

Kouga: Ookay.. *Lets out a softly whine as he follows Zephyx inside, his body shivers in the need to mate again.*

Zephyx: *He picks a spot close to the entrance of the cave and lays down on the loose dirt.* Lay with me...

Kouga: *Takes his armor off first, not wanting it to be covered in Zephyx's scent. Puts it outside the cave before he lays down next to him.* You...have a nice cave...

Zephyx: Thank you...It's nicer in the day time...much warmer...*He traces Kouga's chest with his black claws.* (He's strong and fit...a perfect mate...)

Kouga: I..I bet..Mmm.. *Lets out soft whimpers as he arches into Zephyx's claws, letting out more of his musk. Showing Zephyx he's ready and wants it.* What..is it you do to me?

Zephyx: I'm not sure...*He says as he crawls on top of Kouga and takes off his loin cloth. He stares at Kouga's body for a few minutes before he begins to take off his pants.*

Kouga: You're the only one...who makes me want to submit...*Whines in lust at the sight of Zephyx's body, his tail wags as it tries to entice Zephyx.* Please..Make me feel like that again... (I'm sorry Kagome..Maybe..we aren't meant to be...You love the mutt so much and I was to blind to see it...)

Zephyx: Consider it done...*He spreads Kouga's legs and enters Kouga's clenching little ass hole.* Ohh...*He bites his lip as he feels lust flow through his body.*

Kouga: Ahh..fuck..so big... *Whimpers in lust as he's filled, wraps his legs around Zephyx to bring him closer.*More..Hit that spot again!

Zephyx: *He moans softly as he begins to thrust, making his cock rub against Kouga's prostate.* Oh...Kouga...

Kouga: Zephyx! Tthere, right there!*Moans in pleasure as he meets Zephyx's thrusts, letting out whimpers of pleasure at each hit.* (Oh god! You shouldn't able to feel this good!)

Zephyx: So good...Kouga...*He breathes heavily as his pleasure builds, his cock thrusting fast into Kouga's tight, hot hole.*

Kouga: Yess...god..You're amazing! *Moans loudly, his tail runs along Zephyx'a ass, teasing his opening.* Sshit..You're so big!

Zephyx: *He moans as he feels Kouga's tail against his ass. He thrusts hard and fast into Kouga's prostate, making Kouga's body spasm uncontrollably.* God...damn...

Kouga: Zzephyx!!!! *Screams out as cums hard onto Zephyx's fit stomach, his tail puffs against Zephyx's opening.*

Zephyx: Mmm...*He nuzzles Kouga as he cums in his ass.* Oh god...*He thrusts lightly as his cock becomes soft.*

Kouga: * Softly moans as he's filled, milks Zephyx's manhood of all it seed as he pants heavily.* I..never cum that fast....

Zephyx: Neither do I...*He gently licks Kouga's jaw.* You feel amazing...

Kouga: *Lets out little whines at the licks, tilts his neck over to show submission.* So do you..My yokai really likes you...It loves to submit to you.

Zephyx: I can sense it...Your normal self still denies me...*He chuckles then kisses Kouga's lips.*

Kouga: I am the alpha of my pack..If they found out I let someone mount me..Someone would try to take my place! I know the elders want me out of my position so they'll help them.. *Shyly kisses back, his tail still rubbing Zephyx's ass.*

Zephyx: *He sighs.* We just won't let them know...Because I enjoy mating with you...

Kouga: I.. like it too...I don't have to worry about everything! I can be free for a few minutes...Not that I don't love my pack, I do more then anything...But it's nice not to have all the worry of protecting them for a bit..

Zephyx: I'm solitary...I don't have to worry about a pack, clan, or family...Just by myself...

Kouga: I can't imagine that..I've always had the pack! I guess it comes with being wolf demon, we're really close.. *Hears a howl, his ears twitch.* I should go back.. Haku is calling for me..

Zephyx: *He nods and slowly pulls out of Kouga.* Come back to see me...

Kouga: *Whimpers at the loss of Zephyx, slowly stands up.* I'll try.. But we need to hunt more..Winter is coming and we have to stock up on food.. *Walk out and grabs his armor.* (I need to wash off again.)

Zephyx: *He peeks his head outside of his lair.* Promise, Kouga? *He looks at Kouga with sad eyes.*

Kouga: Yes, I will try..But the needs of my pack always come before my needs..*Smiles sadly at Zephyx before he runs off fast, a tornado of dust behind him.*

Zephyx: *He lays against the entrance of his cave as he watches Kouga run back to his pack.* (I wish he could stay with me...I have no hope...I'm not even his kind...)

Kouga: *Stops quickly at the pond to clean off before he goes back to the cave, meets a wolf on the way.* Hey Haku, I'm back now. You can go back to Rei! *Smiles when the wolf barks back and heads back to the cave. Follows him and head back to his area of the cave, smiles at he sight of Gika still there, spiraled out on his bed.* (See he's enjoying it..)

Gika: *He hears someone close and growls in his sleep.* Grr...*He yelps and twitches in his sleep.*

Kouga: *Chuckles softly, lays down next to him and softly nips his nose.* You're okay cub.. It's just me.. *Closes his eyes as he lets his body rest.*

Gika: *His tail begins to wag at Kouga's voice.* Arp! *He yips happily as he feels Kouga's warmth.*

Kouga: Shh..It's still night.. Go back to sleep, Gika.. *Puts his arm over him, protecting him as he begins to fall asleep.*

Gika: *He whines softly as he feels Kouga's arm and quiets down when Kouga lays down.*

Kouga: I'm here..Don't worry... *Falls asleep, his arm tightens around Gika in the night as he dreams of Zephyx.*

~In Kouga's Dream~

Zephyx: Kouga, you came back! *He raises his head up, still sitting in the entrance of the cave.*

Kouga: I did, we got all the hunting done early!

Zephyx: Come back in...*He welcomes Kouga inside and sits by the warm fire pit.*

Kouga: Thanks..*Walks back in and sits next to Zephyx, already letting his musk out as he tail runs over Zephyx's lower back.*

Zephyx: *He chuckles.* Is that all you want from me now? *He plays with Kouga's tail and touches Kouga's inner thighs.*

Kouga: *Shudders as his tail is touched, moans softly as he spread his thighs. His cock poking out from under is loincloth.* I can't help it..Being around you makes me..want you to mount me so bad! Please! *Whines in lust and submission.*

Zephyx: Bend over for me...*He continues to rub Kouga's thighs.* You smell of lust...

Kouga: *Quickly bends over on his hands and knees, his tail wags as he lets out more musk from the glands underneath the base of it.* I a need you in me..Please Zephyx!

Zephyx: Look at how much your ass is clenching...*He slowly enters Kouga's ass from behind.* Ohh...yes...

Kouga: It wants you so bad!! Yes!! Fill me, make me yours!! *Moans loudly as he pushes back, taking in the rest of the way.

Zephyx: *He moans as Kouga's ass takes his cock in.* I love fucking from behind...*He begins to thrust a little faster.*

Kouga: Ahhhh! Oh yes, ffuck me harder! *Moans loudly, his body feeling even more pleasure then normal.* (I've always love this position..And I've wanted to be fuck this way!)

Zephyx: *He holds onto Kouga's hips and pulls Kouga into his rock hard cock.* Ooh...*He grinds his body against Kouga.*

Kouga: Yes, yes, oh god! I'm going to cum!!! *Shakes as he feels his release coming.* A little mmore!

Gika: Kouga! *He lightly shakes Kouga's shoulders.* You're having a dream!

Kouga: *Growls as he is woken up, quickly sits up.* (I..was dreaming...No wonder it felt even better..) I'm fine now, Gika

Gika: Okay! *He stares at the lump under Kouga's loincloth and giggles.* What's that!

Kouga: It's the same thing you have between your legs, cub..Mine is just bigger. *Shifts, closes his eyes as he tries to will it away.*

Gika: Oh! *His tail begins to wag, then some other cubs walk by. He begins to chase and play with them.*

Kouga: *Chuckles at Gika, gets up and walks towards the entrance of the cave, wanting to get a drink from a water fall.* (I never had a dream that real..Even the ones I had of Kagome wasn't that good. I..I actually wanted to make him my mate in it! But that can never happen. The elders would never allow it.)

Gika: *He wags his tail and charges towards the water fall, then jumps in with the other cubs, splashing Kouga.*

Kouga: Hey! *Growls as he shakes off the water, wipes the water fomr his mouth before he kicks at the water, the jewel shard helping and makes a huge wave the overs the cubs.* Take that!

Gika: Woah! *He and the other cubs yip happily as the huge wave splashes them.*

Kouga: *Laughs at the sight and makes another large wave to hit the cubs, loving that he's making them have fun.* You like it? Want more?!

Gika: *He laughs as another wave comes, then yelps in pain as something stings his leg.* Oow!! *He begins to cry for Kouga.*

Kouga: *Stops when he hears Gika's cry of pain and runs in after him.* Gika! What's happened?! *Carries him out of the water and to the land.*

Gika: Something stung me! *He points to the red mark on his leg that is starting to swell.*

Kouga: *Looks down at the mark in worry, quickly yells.* Someone get Tanaka now!

Gika: *He whimpers when he hears Kouga react.* Is it really bad Kouga? *He whines as the sting begins to burn.*

Kouga: (Shit..I'm scaring him..) I don't know, cub..That's why we're going to have Tanaka look at it! She’s the best healer in the land, okay? Can you be strong for me?

Gika: Yeah...*He whines as the burning feeling spreads through his leg.*

Kouga: There..Thats my big strong wolf.. *Nuzzles at Gika's face, trying to calm him down. Hears the other cubs whimpers at the sight of Gika in pain. Looks at the other pack members to tell them to get the other cubs.* (What taking so long?!)

Tanaka: *She rushes to where Kouga and Gika is.* What's wrong, Kouga-sama?

Kouga: Gika got stung by something while he was playing tin the lake!

Tanaka: Here, baby cub...*She holds out a wrap medicated with herbs. and wraps it around Gika's swollen leg.*

Kouga: *Lets his grip on Gika loosen so Tanaka can do her work, watches as she does.* Will he be okay?

Tanaka: He should be, but you should watch him for a few days. The venom of whatever stung him may make him ill

Gika: *He whines as his leg is wrapped.* It hurts, Kouga...

Kouga: I know it does..But I'm very proud of you.. You're being strong, cub! *Hugs Gika, nuzzles him and let out soothing growls to comfort him. Looks up to look at Tanaka.* Thank you.. You have proved again you are the best healer in the land...

Gika: *His tail begins to wag even with his throbbing leg.*
Tanaka: Call me if you need anything for nausea...It's a common thing to happen after bad stings.

Kouga: I will..Thanks you.. *Picks Gika up as he begins to walk inside, the other cubs following him.* Where do you want to rest, Gika?

Gika: Can I sleep in the back? Where it's quiet?

Kouga: Oh course..Do you want to sleep on my bed? *Walks to the back.*

Gika: Okay, Kouga...*He whines softly as his leg twitches.*

Kouga: *Quickly gets back to his spot and lays Gika down, covers him in the pelt again.* Do you need anything?

Gika: Maybe some water...*He says from underneath the pelt.*

Kouga: Okay..I'll be right back. *Grabs the boar's stomach they made into a water sack and walks back to the lake to fill it up.*

Girl cub: Is Gika going to be okay?!

Kouga: Yeah, he just needs to rest and get better. *Finishes filling it up before he walks back to Gika.* I'm back.. *Moves the skin back so he can see Gika's face.*

Gika: Mmm...water! *He slowly sits up and takes a sip of the water.*

Kouga: Yeah, drink all you can.. You need it..Have you ate yet today?

Gika: Not yet...*He licks his lips at the thought of food.*

Kouga: *Chuckles softly and set the sack next to the straw and furs.* I'll go get us something, okay? I don't want you to move from here, Okay? If you need something call for someone to help you.. *Gives him a playful nip before he gets up.*

Gika: I will! *He curls up in the pelts and holds his hurt leg.*

Kouga: I know you will.. *Heads to the front of the cave and finds Ginta and Hakkaku.* We're going on a hunt. Come on.. *Runs off at full speed.*

Ginta: Wow! He's been acting weird! *Looks over to Hakkaku*

Hakkaku: It's Gika, you know how close they have become! He blames himself for Gika's parents death!

Ginta: You right..We better go or we'll never catch up with him!!

Hakkaku: On no! *Runs after Kouga, still holding Ginta's hand as they run.*

~Hour later~

Kouga: *Drops the boar at the entrance of the cave, letting the other take care of it as he walks but to his area.* (Stupid mutt-face! He just had to try and fight me! I needed to get food! Well at least Kagome gave me this weird food..I but Gika will like it!) *Walks over and softly shakes Gika by the shoulder.* Cub?

Gika: Woof? *He lets out a small bark as he yawns and wags his tail at the smell of food.* Hi Kouga!

Kouga: Hi yourself1 I got you your favorite and a speical treat for after! *Hands over the rabbit to Gika.*

Gika: Really? *He reaches his hands out to grab the rabbit and eat it.* Mm...

Kouga: Yep! But you have to eat that first! You're body needs the blood! *Begins to eat his own rabbit.*

Gika: Okay...*He tries to finish all of his main meal so he can get the treat Kouga is talking about.*

Kouga: Slow down, Gika! It will be here when your done! I don't want you to upset your stomach and not be able to have any!

Gika: But I'm hungry! *His tail wags as he licks one of the bloody bones.*

Kouga: (Damn you Inuyasha! I would of gotten back soon if you didn't start that fight!) I know, But remember the last time you ate to fast? You threw everything up!

Gika: Yeah! *He slows down as he remembers.* Hey, Kouga? Is my leg supposed to feel a little numb? I haven't been stung before!

Kouga: I don't know...It's probably the stuff Tanaka put on it so you wouldn't be in so much pain. *Finishes his own meal and lets out a burp, looks at Gika with a fanged grin.*

Gika: Nice one! *He giggles at Kouga and lets out his own burp.*

Kouga: You too! That a big one coming from a cub! *Smiles and ruffles Gika's hair.* Now you ready for your treat?

Gika: Yes! *He yips happily for his treat.*

Kouga: *Pulls the colorful bag out from behind him and hands it over to Gika.* They're called Ninja snacks! I ran into Kagome and the mutt and she gave me these. (And..I felt nothing for her..What is wrong with me? She was going to be my mate!)

Gika: *He opens the bag and sniffs the contents.* Smells like potatoes! *He takes a few from the bag to taste them.* Mmm! *He smiles and pours the entire bag into his mouth.*

Kouga: *Laughs at he sight, quickly grabs one before it land in Gika's mouth and eats it.* Good huh?

Gika: Uh huh! *He wags his tail from a full stomach.*

Kouga: I'll see if I can get more from her next time for you. *Chuckles as he looks at Gika's tail.* Have some water, your mouth gets dry after eating those. *Hands over the water.*

Gika: Thank you...*He takes a few sips of water.* That was really good!

Kouga: I'm glad! Now why don't you rest a bit more, you look tired. *Moves the weird bag the ninja snacks came in and puts the water up after he takes a drink.* I have to hurry and check on the others okay? Then I'll come back..

Gika: Oh...okay...*He smiles and closes his eyes.* Night night!

Kouga: Night.. *Covers Gika back up before he goes to talk to the other members of the pack.*

Ginta: Kouga...*He runs up to Kouga.* Something is...different about you...

Kouga: And what would that be? *Walks outside and looks around.*

Ginta: A strange scent is on you...but it's very faint...*He lowers his head to show respect.*

Kouga: It's nothing, Ginta. Don't worry about it. *Leans against a tree as he looks around, watching over his pack.* I should be asking about you and Hakkaku.. I smell you guys together at night *Looks over and smirks.*

Ginta: Yes well...*His tail wags furiously.* Still...I've never smelled that scent on you before...What is it? It's also mixed in with your musk...

Kouga: I told you, it's nothing..I've just found a bitch to rut with. That's it, now leave it alone Ginta... *Lets out a low growl, showing he is the alpha.*

Ginta: *He lays on the ground and exposes his belly to show submission.* Sorry, Kouga...

Kouga: *Shakes his head and reaches down to help Ginta back up.* It's okay, just forget about it.. Now is it just me or do I see a mating mark on your neck? *Smirks as he raises an eyebrow, sniffs at Ginta.* Hakkaku's scent is mixed with yours!

Ginta: *He shakes his head yes and sniffs the air again.* (That's exactly was Kouga smells like...but I'm not sure what it is...It's not a wolf...)

Kouga: I said forget it, Ginta...Now when did you guys plan to tell me that my best friends were mates? And already marked each other?

Ginta: I was going to tell you...until I smelled you...*He lowers his head.* I can't forget about it if I can smell it...

Kouga: I said I was fine! You know i would never do anything to hurt the pack.. I know now Kagome will never be my women so I found a bitch to relieve my lust. Is that okay with you?

Ginta: *He nods, somewhat satisfied with the answer.* (That scent is not from a wolf bitch!)

Kouga: I'm going to check on Gika.. *Walks back into the cave, not wanting Ginta to get anymore ideas.* (I hate lying to him but I can't tell him the truth!)

Gika: *He sees Kouga come back in the cave.* I'm cold! *He begins to shiver under the pelts from the venom.*

Kouga: *Quickly runs over to him and hugs Gika close to him, letting his warmth cover him.* It's okay. I'll keep you warm, cub..

Gika: *He shivers as Kouga hugs him.* Thank you!

Kouga: You're welcome.. *Nuzzles Gika's face, looks down worried when he feels hoe hot Gika is.* (He has a fever.) I'm going to get the water..I need you to take a few sips, okay? Can you do that for me?

Gika: Yeah...I think so...*He curls up in the blankets to keep warm while Kouga gets the water.*

Kouga: *Grabs the sack and frowns when he sees it's almost empty, runs quickly to the waterfall to fill it up before he runs back and gets down on his knees. Lifts Gika's head up a bit as he moves to opening of the sack to his lips.* Just a few sips...

Gika: *He weakly nods as he takes a few sips.* Thanks...Kouga...

Kouga: Shh..Just work on getting better, okay? *Lays back down to let Gika move to him if he wants.*

Gika: *He nods as he takes another drink of water and crawls to lay on Kouga's legs.*

Kouga: *Smiles softly and pulls Gika up closer, covering him with his small frame with his arms.* I've got you..You're okay now...

(But I don't know for how long..I need to start looking for Naraku again! But I'll wait till Gika gets better before I leave..)

Gika: *He begins to sweat from his fever and nuzzles into Kouga's stomach.*

Kouga: *Pets Gika's sweaty head, letting out soothing growls.* Go back to sleep, Gika...I'll stay here...

Gika: *He nods as he begins to fall asleep and softly yips as he nuzzles Kouga.*

Kouga: *Keeps letting out soothing growls as Gika falls asleep. *Looks around the cave from his area, still wanting to keep an eye on it.*

Ginta: *He enters the cave and whines softly at the sight of Gika. He walks closer to Kouga and Gika, circles around and finds a comfortable spot next to Kouga's leg.*

Kouga: He has a fever..I got him to drink some water..I take it Hakkaku is still out hunting?

Ginta: *He nods.* I wanted to stay with you and Gika tonight...

Kouga: Alright..He must really be wanting to impress you..Show you he will provide for you..He should be back tomorrow.. *Leans back and rests his eyes.*

Ginta: I'm sure he will...*He curls up closer to Gika.*

Kouga: *Slowly falls asleep, holding on tightly to Gika when he hears him whimper in his sleep.*

~A few days later~

Zephyx: I haven't smelled his scent for days...Not even passing by...*He sighs.* I hope Kouga is alright...*He stands up from the entrance of his lair and begins to travel downstream to where Kouga's pack is.*

Kouga: *Sets Gika on one of the rocks so he can see everyone.* There! No you're not stuck in the cave. *Smiles at Gika.*

Gika: *He weakly wags his tail.* Thank you! *He looks around and notices the elders of the pack acting spooked.* I think...there's something wrong!

Kouga: *Looks around and scenes the tense feeling.* I'll go check it. I want you to stay right here! *Walks over the elders.* What's wrong?

Ginta: *He runs up behind Kouga.* There's a demon...very close-by...*He sniffs the ground and begins to pin point the scent.*

Kouga:*Sniffs, his eyes go wide at the scent.* (What is he doing here?!) *Moves to stand in front of them.*

Ginta: *He deeply sniffs the air.* (This is the same scent that was on Kouga...) *He decides not to say anything as he presses his nose into the dirt.*

Kouga: Ginta..I want you to take Gika inside the cave..Along with the other cubs.

Ginta: *He nods and swiftly runs back to the cave and carries Gika on his back while luring the other cubs inside.*

Kouga: (Good..That got him away..I don't want him to see Zephyx...He probley already can tell by the scent!)

Zephyx: *He peers from the bushes and tall grass.* (They don't seem too welcoming of me...) *He spots Kouga and moves closer, but he trips on a twig, causing the grass to rattle violently and the wolves of Kouga's pack to growl.* (Shit...)

Kouga: (I can't let them know that I know him....I'm sorry, Zephyx..) Who are you and what are you doing here?! This is my land. *Growls loudly as he looks at Zephyx with begging eyes, hoping he will play along.*

Zephyx: *He looks around at the elder wolves who are ready to attack him.* (Kouga...) *He stands up and balances himself, then jumps when an elder tries to attack him.* (They're serious...) *He glances sadly at Kouga as he begins to run with the elders hot on his heels.* (I can't escape wolves on foot...)

Kouga: (Fuck! Damn you elders! I'm the leader you're suppose to listen to me!) *Runs after them, hoping he can stop them from hurting Zephyx.*

Kouga: (Fuck! Damn you elders! I'm the leader you're suppose to listen to me!) *Runs after them, hoping he can stop them from hurting Zephyx.*

Zephyx: *He quickly looks behind him.* (I don't have a choice...I don't want anyone hurt...) *He begins to transform as he runs, his body taking the form of a red dragon with a white mane of hair and three eyes.*

Kouga: (Holy shit! THAT'S what I've been with! He's..amazing.. No wonder he mounts me so easy!) *Stops running as he watches Zephyx fly away.*

Elder: *Runs after and jumps up and bites Zephyx's tender stomach.*

Zephyx: *He begins to fly away, but is nearly knocked to the ground by an elder wolf attacking his stomach, one of the few weak points of a dragon. He shakes the elder off and resists from using his claws or fire as he flies away wounded.*

Kouga: *Runs up and pretends like he's caring for the elder, really just wanting to keep him on the ground. Looks up and meets Zephyx's eyes, tells him to get away as fast as he can!* (I didn't want him to get hurt...)

Zephyx: *He looks back at Kouga on the ground.* (Maybe...he doesn't want me around anymore...)

Kouga: *Waits till Zephyx is out of sight before he helps the elder up.* I want you guys to go back to the pack. I am the alpha and you shouldn't of ran off with out me telling you too!

Elder: He was going to carry off our cubs! *He growls lowly.*

Kouga: I sent to cubs back into the cave! There were protected and we don't know what he was going to do! You attacked him before he could say anything! Now do what I say and go back to the cave!!! *Growls loudly at them, telling them he is alpha and to listen to him.*

Elder: *He and the rest of the elders grumble as they go back to the cave.*

Zephyx: *He looks back at the cave from a long distance away, almost to his lair. He clumsily lands on the ground, too weak to keep flying and crawls the rest of the way to his lair. He curls up in front of the entrance, protecting his injured stomach.*

Kouga: *Waits till the elders are far enough he can't smell them before he runs towards Zephyx's lair, stops in front of it and gasps at the sight before he runs up to him.* Zephyx!

Zephyx: *He looks up when he hears Kouga's voice and lets out a soft grunt, making a small amount of smoke escape his nose.*

Kouga: Damn..What the hell were you thinking? I said I would come when I could. *Gently turns Zephyx onto his back before he softly licks at the wounds.*

Zephyx: *He gradually transforms back to his human-like body and a bead of sweat rolls down his forehead from the pain.* I wanted...to see you...

Kouga: Well, that was pretty dumb..We have a alot of cub this year and that makes us extra protective! That's why I said would come back when I could sneak out.. *Keeps licking at he wounds.* (If I didn't know him..I would of killed him..)

Zephyx: I'm sorry...but can you blame me? *He chuckles and runs his thumb along Kouga's chin.*

Kouga: I guess not..Who could recess me? *Smirks at Zephyx before he goes back to licks at them.* If you rest, this should be better tomorrow of the day after.

Zephyx: This is nothing...and it was worth it...

Kouga: If he was in his youth, you would be dead.. You lucked out. *Gives one last lick before he lips his lips, his eyes roll in pleasure at the taste of Zephyx's blood. Moves up to see if he has any other wounds.*

Zephyx: I doubt it...I chose not to attack back...but if that wolf would have bit any deeper, I wouldn't have had a choice...

Kouga: I'm glad you didn't..Or I would of had to fight you.. *Nuzzles at Zephyx's chest, missing his smell.*

Zephyx: *He wraps his arms around Kouga.* Did I frighten you?

Kouga: You mean your true form? I knew you were some kind of reptile demon, but I never would of guessed dragon!

Zephyx: *He chuckles, then sniffs Kouga's scent.* There's...another scent on you...

Kouga: Yeah, I live in a cave with over 100 demons and wolves! I have alot of scents on me. *Chuckles softly.*

Zephyx: But...there's one in particular that is stronger than the others...*He takes another sniff.* A young one?

Kouga: *Smiles softly.* That would be Gika.. He got stung the other day and has been sick..That's why I haven't been able to come see you, he gets upset when I'm gone.

Zephyx: I see...Is he doing better?

Kouga: Yes, he has a limp though...We're..We're not sure if it will ever go away..*Looks down, nuzzles deeper into Zephyx's chest

Zephyx: (Yes...He'll make a perfect mate...He takes care of the young ones...) *He moves closer to Kouga and kisses his neck.* Will you be my mate, Kouga?

Kouga: *Whines in shock and submission.* Wwhat? You mean it? I..I could never tell the pack..I would llose them! It will be just what the elders need to get rid of me!

Zephyx: You'll be a wonderful mate...and your pack doesn't have to know...unless you want them to...

Kouga: They can't...They would never let me mate someone who's not from the tribe.. I..I would loss them and I can't take that! *Looks up with worried eyes.* But..I want to be your mate.. My yokai has been calling for you since the first time I saw you...You..you are my mate!

Zephyx: *He rolls on his side and nuzzles Kouga's cheek.* Let's consummate our relationship...*He begins to kiss along Kouga's jawline.*

Kouga: Mm..Yes.. *Moans softly, his tail wags to let out his musk.* (Does he know about the mating mark? If not, should I tell him? It will be easier to keep this a secret without it. But I can't say no if he wants too...)

Zephyx: *He gives Kouga a quick kiss.* Follow me inside...We'll have privacy...

Kouga: *Whimpers at having to move, wanting to mate with Zephyx right now. But knows it will be better to do it in the cave.* Aalright..*Stands up and heads to the cave, taking his armor off as he walks, his tail putting out more of his musk.*

Zephyx: (I love his smell.) *He sits close to the warm fire.* I can't get you out of my mind, Kouga...

Kouga: *Smirks as he takes his last piece off hide off, walk over to Zephyx as he sways his hips in time with his tail.* Mm..And what do I do in your mind? *Kneels in front of him, nuzzles at his chest as he lets out whines of submission.*

Zephyx: *He reaches around Kouga and rubs his firm, fit ass.* We mate...all night and we spend every minute together...*He moves his hands up Kouga's back.*

Kouga: Mmhhh...I..I wish I could..But I have to take care of my pack! I can't lose them..Tthey're all I've know.. *Whines as he pushes his ass back, letting out more musk as his cock grows harder.*

Zephyx: I know...but I can always dream...*He softly kisses Kouga.* Can you bend over for me?

Kouga: *Shudders as he lets out a moan, moves onto his hands and knees. Pushes his ass up higher in the air as he wags his tail happily.* (God, how did he know! Did he have the same dream?)

Zephyx: *He smirks as Kouga releases more of his scent and gives a single lick to Kouga's ass hole to tease him as he begins to take off his pants.*

Kouga: Ahhhh! *His tail puffs out at the lick, whimper in lust as he crawls backwards, closer to Zephyx.* Please..My mate! Make me yours!!

Zephyx: *He quickly mounts Kouga and enters Kouga's ass, moaning as his cock is greedily taken in by Kouga.* Ohh...god yes...

Kouga: Ahhwoo! *Lets out a low howl as Zephyx's enters him, thrusts back hard as he clenches.* Hard...Fuck me hard, mate!

Zephyx: *He moans softly as he thrusts hard into Kouga's prostate.* Tell me...that you need me...

Kouga: Ah! Ah! I,,I do need you! Ggod, I need you so much! *Moans loudly as his nails dig into the floor, whimpers and whines in pleasure.*

Zephyx: *He moans as he feels Kouga's ass tighten around him and thrusts harder to give Kouga the most pleasure from their position.* I...need you too...*He softly nips Kouga's neck.*

Kouga: Ahhh! Oh..ggod! ZZephyx! *Moans loudly as he meets Zephyx's thrusts, tilts his neck over in submission. His yokai wanting to be marked, lets out a bunch of musk, his tail rubs against Zephyx's chest and stomach.* Cclose! To ggood!!

Zephyx: (Does he want me to mark him?) *He bites down harder with his sharp teeth and gently pulls on Kouga's skin with his teeth, leaving a mark behind. He uses his entire body to thrust into Kouga.* Mm...Mmm...Kouga...

Kouga: *Howls loudly as he cums hard, his body on fire from the bite and pleasure of release. His arms give out underneath him and he falls to the floor, still moaning.*

Zephyx: Ohhh...*He lets out a drawn out moan and releases into Kouga's ass. He falls forward with Kouga, making his softening cock rest against Kouga's prostate.*

Kouga: *Whimpers as he feels Zephyx's cum hit his prostate, clenches softly as he pants heavily. His eyes close as his yokai purrs in happiness at being marked.*

Zephyx: I love my mate...*He nuzzles the mark he left on Kouga and licks the small droplets of blood.*

Kouga: Ahhh...! *Cries out in pleasure as his mark is licks, clenches hard around Zephyx: (He marked me! I'm not going to be able to hide it for long...But..I'm not made..I finially have my mate!) Llove mate...

Zephyx: *He slowly pulls out of Kouga and kisses Kouga's shoulders.* Are you hungry? *He nuzzles Kouga.*

Kouga: I bit..I gave my share of food to Gika...He needs alot to heal.. *Slowly sits up, blushes as Zephyx's seed leaks out.*

Zephyx: *He pulls up his pants and walks to the other side of the cave to retrieve a jar. He opens it and pulls out a few pieces of dried meat.* Here...

Kouga: *Sniffs at what Zephyx, looks at him with disgust.* It's cooked..There's no blood anymore!

Zephyx: *He chuckles.* It stores better than a fresh kill, but it still tastes fine...But if you don't want that, I have fresh fish hanging outside...

Kouga: You ruined it..*Hands it back before he gets up and goes to get some fish, brings one back for Zephyx too.* Now this is really food! *Takes a big bite into it.*

Zephyx: I didn't ruin it. *He chuckles as he tears a piece of meat from the fish.* It's a good thing to have in the winter months or if food is scarce...

Kouga: I still don't like it.. *Takes another bite out of the fish before he shows him.* See, there should be blood!

Zephyx: I understand...I also don't have a pack to hunt for me...

Kouga: Hey! I do alot of hunting! I usually only eat what I kill.. *Finishes his fish, nuzzles Zephyx to say thanks.*

Zephyx: *He gives Kouga a kiss.* We're just different...

Kouga: *Kisses back.* I know..But you'll never get me to eat that stuff! (I'd rather go back to eating humans!)

Zephyx: *He chuckles and pulls a few pieces of dried meat from the jar and begins to chew it with his arm around Kouga.* That means more for me...

Kouga: *Wrinkles his nose.* It smells bad! No kissing me after you eat that! *Nuzzles him again, knowing he's going to have to leave.* (I don't want to go...But Gika must be worried..That won't help him heal..)

Zephyx: So, I don't get a good-bye kiss? *He rubs Kouga's thighs.*

Kouga: *Whines softly at the rubs, his thighs spread.* I..I guess I could give you one! *Softly kisses Zephyx.*

Zephyx: Good...I know you can't stay...*He moves the hair from Kouga's eyes.*

Kouga: No..I better be going..Gika must be scared..Plus the elders will be expecting me back soon..I'll try can come tomorrow, I can during my hunt. *Nuzzles Zephyx's cheek.*

Zephyx: *He nods and holds Kouga close.* Yes...please come back tomorrow...

Kouga: I will..I'll find a way..Just don't come looking for me..I don't want you to get hurt again! *Licks at Zephyx's horns.*

Zephyx: I won't...*He rubs his stomach wound, which is almost healed.*

Kouga: *Keeps licking Zephyx’s face.* My mate..Love my mate..

Zephyx: *He nuzzles Kouga's face.* Love you too...*He rubs Kouga's back.* You better get going...

Kouga: Yeah..I have to wash off before I head back..Find something to cover your scent..Which will be hard since you marked me..Now I smell like you. *Gives Zephyx a little nip before he gets up.*

Zephyx: Maybe you can tell them you fought me if they question you...My blood on your skin and clothing.

Kouga: Yeah, but in a few days? When it doesn't go away..I will always smell like you now, to tell others that i am taken..

Zephyx: *He begins to walk out of the cave with Kouga.* It will work for today...*He yawns and curls up in front of the cave entrance to absorb warmth from the sun.*

Kouga: Yeah, I still need to get you from out of me.. *Leans down and kisses him.* I'll be back tomorrow, my mate..

Zephyx: I'll be here...*He nuzzles Kouga and kisses him.*

Kouga: *Sadly whines before he runs off, hating having to leave his mate but knowing he has to take care of the pack.* (I'll be back , my mate..)

~At Kouga's Cave~

Kouga: *Runs in as fast as he can, not wanting to talk to anyone. quickly sits down on his bed and cover up with the pelts. Letting them cover his scent.*

Ginta: *He looks up when he hears Kouga enter.* (The scent is stronger...) Did you mate with that demon?

Kouga: I fought him..Now let me rest! *Moves more under the pelts.* Where is Gika?

Gika: *He hears his name and pops out from under a pile of pelts next to Ginta.* Right here!

Kouga: Good...Now you two let me rest...

Ginta: *He sniffs Kouga's neck as Kouga lays down to rest.* You have a mating mark...

Kouga: *Growls.* I told yo to let it go..

Ginta: *He sniffs the air again.* How do you like being mounted?

Kouga: The same as you do! Now you must promise me won't tell anyone...I am alpha.. *Growls loudly.* (I don’t think he would..But I can’t take any chances..)

Ginta: Of course not...Who is it? I'm assuming it's not your woman Kagome...

Kouga: *Leans over and whispers.* The demon that came today..He was worried and missed me..

Ginta: I see...*He looks up to see Hakkaku come inside the cave. He yips happily.*

Kouga: Now go to your mate, I can smell your musk already! *Chuckles and kicks Ginta off the bed.*

Ginta: *He pants and happily runs to Hakkaku.*

Gika: *He sniffs the air.* What's that smell, Kouga?

Kouga: *Chuckles softly as he watching them, his heart cries as he misses his own mate. Looks over at Gika, moves closer and whispers.* Can you keep a secret?

Gika: I'm the best at keeping secrets!

Kouga: You can't tell anyone, not even the elders!

Gika: I promise, Kouga...*He moves closer to Kouga and curls up next to him.*

Kouga: *Looks around to see if anyone is around before he moves the pelt over his mark, showing Gika it.* I have a mate...

Gika: You mean...like how my mommy and daddy were!

Kouga: Yeah, now shh! You can't tell anyone.. I would get in trouble1 Do you understand?

Gika: I understand, Kouga...*He hugs Kouga's waist.* I'm happy for you...

Kouga: Me too..Maybe when your healed you can come with me to meet him? But it would be our secret! *Hugs Gika tightly, nuzzles him.* (Maybe his scent can help cover Zephyx.)

Gika: That would be nice! What does your mate look like?

Kouga: He has soft, long white hair and three eyes.. He's really tall and his claws are has two horns right here *Pokes Gika face where the horns would be.* And one has a chain of metal from it to his ear.

Gika: *He thinks back to a few days ago when Kouga said he met a demon with three eyes.* Is it the same demon you told me about a few days ago?

Kouga: Yes, that's him..He's the one that came here today.. He wanted to see me..*Keeps nuzzling him, hugging him tightly.*

Gika: So he's not bad? I heard the elders say he came here to hurt us!

Kouga: No, he was just worried for me..He would never hurt us! He didn't even fight back when the elders attacked him! You know I would never let you get hurt..

Gika: I know...You would have killed him if he tried!

Kouga: I would..But he would never do it.. I promise, cub.. *Softly nips Gika's nose.* (But I would die after I did...)

Gika: Okay! I'm not worried...*His little tail begins to wag.* I'm starting to feel better!

Kouga: That's great! I knew you would! *Smiles brightly at Gika.*

Gika: Yeah, no more fevers or chills! My leg still hurts, but I can walk on it!

Kouga: That's good, you'll be better in no time! You have been whining less at night!

Gika: Maybe tomorrow I can play with the other cubs, and I can get in the water again! I just have to be more careful.

Kouga: That sounds good! But if you start to feel weak or in pain I want you to rest, okay?

Gika: I know...And hopefully I can climb trees again soon!

Kouga: I would wait till you fully heal, cub!

Gika: Aww! I can do it, Kouga! You just watch!

Kouga: I know you can! *Hugs Gika.* Now, why don't we take a nap! I need some rest before I go hunt.

Gika: Okay! *He completely covers himself underneath some pelts and tries to fall asleep.*

Kouga: *Sighs as he moves more pelts over him, hoping his scent from them will cover Zephyx.* If you're not tired you don't have to Gika..

Gika: But I'm sleepy! *He says from under the pile of pelts.*

Kouga: Your tail is wagging a lot for someone who is sleepy.. *Chuckles softly as he closes his eyes, turning on his side towards Gika.*

Gika: I'm just happy! *He peeks from under the pelts and moves closer to Kouga and whispers.* Happy that you have a mate!

Kouga: (He's to young to understand..But I'm glad someone is happy for me.) *Wraps his arms around Gika and pulls him closer to his body, whispers.* Me too..But remember, you can't tell anyone...

Gika: Not a soul!

Kouga: *Begins to fall asleep.* That's...my cub..

Gika: Good night! *His tail flaps against the ground as he falls asleep.*
