I’m sorry, really I am, I swear it! I just got this thing called writer’s block. I’m serious I have had massive writers block on EVERYTHING! I can’t write anything without someone there to feed me ideas and even then it sucks, or is just randomly very bad. I didn’t even start writing this chapter until the ninth of February, and that’s all thanks to my writers club. *Glomps Laito and Vana for helping her with plot ideas* But I’m back... somewhat and hopefully this chapter is worth it.

Thank you Leomae, GothicBlacre and Inuyoukai for reviewing.

Leomae: I know, it was not one of my favorite chapters either, but it had to be written. And I apologize in advance since I know that you prefer the I/K fluff over the Ookami/Kaida fluff.

Chapter 15 -Falling in love hurts worse the second time-

The clouds had opened up by the time Kaida and Ookami had reached the outer reaches of the western lands. Ookami quickly found a cave before either of them got completely soaked. He didn’t bother lighting a fire, since his nose could tell him when something came to the cave, and besides the light of the rainstorm was quite serene.

Kaida leaned against the cave wall, feeling the dampness start to leak through the back of her kimono, even though the kimono was wet already. “Lucky for me I don’t turn into dirt when I get wet,” she commented, pulling her black hair in front of her so she could comb it lightly with her fingers.

Ookami laughed lightly. “Yep that would not be good. Then I would feel guilty taking my sweet time to get here.”

Kaida turned a glare at him, smiling sweetly at him. “Ookami, did you know where this cave was?”

Ookami started to become slightly afraid and found the easiest answer to be the truth. “Uh, Ginta, Hakku and tou-san taught me to track around this area. They sort of left me in the middle of the woods and told me to find my way back to the caves or else I would die out in the middle of these woods.” He was hoping to catch her soft side with that comment, making her momentarily forget her slight anger with him. It didn’t exactly work.

Kaida rolled her eyes. “Don’t try and make me fall for that sob story Ookami. You know that’s how Ryu and Shippo were trained. Probably every son was trained like that.”

Ookami perked his ears. “And yourself? How were you taught to track?”

Kaida looked embarrassed. “I wasn’t. In the future you don’t need to learn to track.”

Ookami tried to hold his laughter in but only succeeded in making the laughter louder when it did escape. “A hanyou who can’t track! That’s pretty funny.”

Kaida just pouted slightly, picking up some of the dirt and throwing it at him, making him laugh harder. “Fine, fine, just laugh at the hanyou. See if I care!”

“I’m sorry Kaida, I just couldn’t help myself.” Ookami would have continued on teasing her, if he didn’t notice he discomfort. “Are you alright?”

“Just wet. I wish there was hot spring so I could at least feel some warmth.”

mi rmi rolled his eyes and lifted his nose, smelling out water. “There’s a hot spring in the back of the cave. You can get warm there. But you don’t have anything to dry off with...” Kaida had stopped listening when he mentioned where the hot spring was and had already turned the corner, stripping off her wet cloth whe when Ookami realized that she wasn’t listening anymore.

Kaida stepped cautiously into the hot spring, feeling her non existent muscles soothe under the heat. She didn’t have to worry about Ookami peaking in on him, he was standing guard at the door and she trusted him to respect her privacy, even if he was her soul mate.

Ookami was trying his hardest to pay attention to the outside world, somewhere from this cave, this place. He wondered briefly if this is what Miroku felt whenever he was in reach of an attractive woman. He shook his head. He refused to be like Miroku, he wouldn’t succumb to his desires, at least not yet.

A youkai watched from the trees, the rain covering its scent from wol wolf inside. The pale lips curved into a sinister smile. It was a patient creature. It could wait until the wolf was unaware, at his weakest. Then, then...

Kaida sighed, pulling her knees to her chest as she thought about what had transpired ever since she had fallen through the well. She wondered briefly if her mother ever, even slightly regretted getting pulled into the well. Where would life had lead had she not jumped down the well to get away from Naraku?

Kaida laughed bitterly, she would be stuck with him. He would have kidnapped him. That would have broken her mother; Ookami would have fallen to the miasma that poisoned his veins, his reason for fighting to stay alive being gone. It was best that she jumped, met up with Ryu, fought him. It was the the best that she came through the well. But still...

If she hadn’t, Ookami and Ryu would be back in their homes. Her family wouldn’t be traveling, risking their lives to defeat Naraku. Her father would be waiting to see his mate, which of course would never come because in about 150 years Naraku would resurface and everyone would die. Which solution was best? Which path was the right one?

She was brought out of her thoughts by a sound behind her. She didn’t turn around as the aura wrapped around her, calming her nerves. “What do you want Ookami? Aren’t you suppose to be keeping guard?”

“What? No shout of me being a pervert? No yelling at all?” He asked in a curious voice, even though he knew he wasn’t watching her at all, just leaning against a boulder gazing out the front of the cave.

“Because I know you aren’t looking at me. You’re just leaning against that rock, looking out at the front of the cave,” Kaida said carelessly, looking over her shoulder to prove her point.

She watched Ookami shrug his shoulders, the muscles moving beneath the fur and armor of his clothes. She was taken by surprise when Ookami turned his head to look at her with his brown eyes. <I seriously forget what color eyes, if any, I gave to Ookami. So just go with it if you do recall.> She narrowed her own brown eyes and opened her mouth to scold him, before he started to approach her, stripping off his furs and armor, leaving him in his loin cloth.

Kaida blushed as he slid into the water, turning her around so he could wash her back for her. “Do you want me to leave?” Kaida allowed herself to shake her head as he washed her back, never trailing from that safe area.

Ookami didn’t acknowledge her answer as he washed her clay body, his eyes closing, allowing touch to guide him over the skin that magic created. He pulled his hands back when the task was finished, ready to get out of the water. “Stay.”

The silent command was pure instinct on Kaida’s part as she felt his muscles tense to leave her in the water to her thoughts. She grabbed his wrist, feeling him give in with no struggle. Ookami allowed her to lean against him, wrap her fingers in his black hair after she pulled it from the band he kept it in. His arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her flush against his body.

His head lowered to her lips, both teens caught under a spell that neither knew how it was caste, nor did they care. Just as Ookami’s lips brushed against those of Kaida’s, a low chuckle broke them apart. “Well isn’t this just touching?”

Ookami mentally cursed himself for not being more aware of his surroundings as he pushed Kaida behind him, standing up to hide her from prying eyes. “Show yourself!”

“Is that anyway to talk to a friend?” The cool voice asked, from atop the boulder.

Kaida looked from behind Ookami’s shoulder and raised her eyebrow at the black haired neko, his midnight tail swishing in agitation. “A friend? What would a neko have to do with us?” Ookami asked feeling Kaida’s curiosity from behind him.

“Well since the woman is seeking to temporarily switch bodies with my mate, I figure the most I could do is consider you friends.”

“You’re Maeko’s mate?” Kaida asked.

“Yes I Tha That, wolf, is what a neko has to do with canines. I’ll lead you back to our village, where the monk will perform the soul exchange.” Kaida shuddered at the word. “I figure you have experienced this ritual before.” It was a statement not a question so Kaida felt no need to elaborate. “I will allow you to get dressed. Wolf, I wish to talk to you.”

Ookami nodded, flowing after the neko, grabbing his fur and armor, not bothering to gaze back at Kaida.

Kaida fell back into the water and fought back tears of frustration. She wouldn’t allow herself to cry, that would just make Ookami more worried about her. She got out of the water, and regretted even getting in the water, seeing as being wet and wearing clothes while wet was not a good combination. <God I hate swimming in school for that reason alone. Being wet and having to change quickly is not pleasant. Anyway on with the chapter!>

Ookami felt the neko’s glare on him as he fitted his chest plate in place. “What was it you wished to talk to me about?”

“When your mate and mine switch bodies, I expect you to keep your hands off of her body. Her body still holds my mark, so I don’t want something like what was going on in that hot spring to happen with my mate’s body.”

Ookami rolled his eyes. “She’s not my mate. So you have nothing to worry about.”

The neko hissed but accepted the answer. “We’ll set out when the rain stops. And just remember do not touch my mate’s body with your filthy paws.” With that Maeko’s mate disappeared from Ookami’s sight, but now that he knew what scent he was looking for he knew where the cat was hiding.

He turned his ears to Kaida’s movements and wanted to laugh at her agitated look. “Aww, puppy get wet?”

Kaida rolled her eyes and sat down on the ground, uncomfortable with the friction that action had caused. “So what did Maeko’s mate have to say?”

Ookami shrugged, looking away from Kaida. “Something stupid. Don’t worry about it.”

Kaida merely nodded, though she knew Ookami was keeping something from her. “We leave tomorrow?”

“When the rain stops.” Ookami corrected, still angry that he had the the neko sneak up on him. How was he ever going to protect Kaida and their pups when he couldn’t sense a stupid neko?

Kaida laid a hand on his shoulder. “Don’t be angry that he snuck up on us. Even I didn’t feel him.”

Ookami growled low in his throat and turned to face Kaida, grabbing her shoulders so her instinct to step back was stopped. “What if he had been meaning to hurt you? What if he was Naraku? How can I take you as my mate when I can’t even hear a neko come within attack range?”

Kaida sighed and allowed her body to rest against Ookami’s chest. “You can protect me. I trust you.”

*~*~*~*~*

Naraku stroked his mate’s face tenderly, watching her breathing while she slept. It was times like this, that he wondered why he still looked for the jewel. He had enough to power to protect his mate, any pups that were to follow. He had a roof over his helandland he could call his own.

Kikyo turned in her sleep, nuzzling into his lap, her makeshift pillow. Naraku allowed a cold smile to cross his lips, times like these made him appreciate living. He forgot about everything, the jewel, Inuyasha. In this world only Kikyo and he existed.

Her gold eyes fluttered open and he let a small chuckle escape. “Sleep mate. You need your energy.”

And so Kikyo closed her eyes again, knowing her mate would not let harm come to her. “I love you Naraku,” she whispered as slclaiclaimed her again.

Naraku nodded. “And I you.”

End Chapter

As you might be able to tell I showed Naraku in a different light. Hopefully that change of perspective won’t get too many flames, but I’ve always seen Naraku as a rather complex person. I won’t explain my reasoning, unless I have to, but I’ll just put it this way... he’s like an ogre, he has layers. Ogres are like onions. Hoped you like the chapter. After I reread what I had written and added in that last bit of Naraku and Kikyo I thought it came out decent enough. Leave a review and if you truly can’t comprehend Naraku’s switch in personality you can ask me about it. Hopefully the next chapter will be out before the end of February but NO guarantees. Until I write again!
