Ch.2

The closer they came to the mountains, the more signs of wolves
could be found. Miroku saw a paw print by the riverside while Sango saw
some tuffs of fur on some low-lying branches of a bush. As Kagome neared
the mountain base, a wolf howl pierced through the air, making both Sango
and Miroku jump.

Tightening her grasp on the Hiraikotsu, Sango made another failed
attempt to locate the numerous wolves she knew were hiding, surrounding
them. Despite her station as her old village's best exterminator, she could
not find the animals or the youkai that they work with. This truly vexed
Sango to no end. 'This is unbelievable! I am a seasoned demon
exterminator! How can mortal animals that work with Youkais escape my
detection?!'

Trying to hide a grin, Kagome watched as her friend kept darting
her eyes from one side to the other. "Relax Sango, you're worrying for
nothing. Thowlhowl was merely announcing our arrival on their territory. If
they thought we were a threat, the wolves would have already attacked."
Kagome looked at their perplexed faces while Shippo out-right laughed.
Kagome decided to have some pity and explain. "That one night when
Shippo and I stayed with Kouga and his tribe I had a chance to watch some
of their behavior and listen to their various howling, afterwards I decided to
read some books on wolves. I learned about some of their habits."

Not convinced that they were safe, Miroku stood at the ready.
"Kagome-sama, we still should be cautious. Wolves are notoriously
territorial, you can't assume that it's safe..."

Jumping on the monk's shoulder, Shippo patted him on the head.
"Don't worry, this wolf pack is Kouga's tribe. They accepted Kagome after
Kouga announced that he wants her as his mate. For an Ookami or Kistune
to make that sort of an announcement, it isn't a little thing to ignore."

Miroku was curious over what the young Kistune said. "Shippo what
do you mean by 'for wolves and foxes'?"

Looking back at the monk, Shippo realized that the humans are
ignorant of certain facts of youkai life. "Both wolf and fox youkai are the
same as the mortal animals when it comes to taking a mate. Unlike dogs that
take many different mates and rarely make a long-lasting relationship;
wolves and foxes are monogamous. They take one mate for life."

Shaking his head at the adults thick-headedness, Shippo took a deep
breath, catching the scent of several wolf Youkais. Their scent revealed they
were amused and not hostile. 'It seems that they find it funny that a child is
explaining such things to the adults. Hmmm still no Kouga yet. I wonder if
he's on the very end of their territory.'

Before Shippo could continue, Old Myoga decided to speak up. "It's
a serious matter to stake a claim for a mate, to say the name of your
intended mate in front of the clan. When Kouga claimed he wanted
Kagome as his mate, it gave her some protection since his clan now sees her
as part of the clan. And since Kagome made it clear that Shippo is her
adopted pup , her protection includes him."

"What about the rest of us?" Miroku asked only to jump out of his
skin by one voice he wasn't expecting yet.

"Yo!" Kouga jumped down, taking the hands of his dream girl in his
own. "Kagome, I'm glad you finally came to visit me. What's up?" With his
usual 'bad boy' grin, Kouga turned to the exterminator and monk, who both
had a death grip on their weapons and stood alert as some of the ookami
approached. "Heh, you two can relax. Like the pup said, my clan accepts
Kagome. They see you as her guards, not as some annoying enemy."

Ginta and Haggaku were among the group of wolf youkai to greet the
visitors. After escorting Kagome's group into the den they approached her
friends. Many of those who were still conscious at the end of the battle with
the Gokurakucho remember the battle abilities of these two unusual humans
and their demon allies. Those who were unconscious heard of the tale latter.

A wild tale of how a female human tossed a giant throwing weapon
at the demon birds and killed two of them with one throw. Those who did
not see it happen have refused to believe it; a human who can kill more than
one of the hated birds with one throw? That's impossible when it's a
difficult task for several wolf demons to take down one bird demon! Even
more insane is the story of how the monk somehow shrunk and sucked in
most of the Gokurakucho into his hand.

Then there is the large two-tailed cat that seems to have fire licking at
its feet. "What!" Nearly everyone was shocked when the cat seemed to
burst into flames, when they died away there stood a much smaller two-tail
cat that jumped into the female warrior's arms to be held.

Of course, it is not every day that one of the cunning kistunes takes a
human for its mother. All of the clan knows of the tale of how Kagome shot
a magical arrow that saved Ginta from being eaten by the enemy. Needless
to say the wolf demon clan are quite curious of these strange allies.

As his tribe approached Sango and Miroku, Kouga lead Kagome to a
far corner that looked familiar. 'It's probable it this is the same corner that I
sat in when he first kidnapped me.' After sitting down on the comfortable
fur throw Kagome began to explain. "Kouga, I wanted to talk to you about
how youkai discipline their young."

Dropping his trademgringrin, Kouga looked over his shoulder at the
young kistune. "That fox kit isn't giving you trouble is he? I thought he
adored you�"

Kagome shook her head quickly to correct Kouga. "Oh no, it's not
like that! Shippo minds me; its Inu-Yasha that problem is with." Ignoring
Kouga's mumblings of 'it figures it's the mutt that acts up', Kagome went
on to explain the situation of Inu-Yasha keeps on bopping the kit on the
head. As her story progressed, Kouga's eyes kept getting bigger.

Finally, the wolf prince could hold it in no longer� "Inukoro did
WHAT?! Grrrr, I tell you this Inu-Yasha's behavior is not that of a
parent�unless an abusive one." Kouga saw that bothered Kagome although
she kept a calm face. He could smell the sudden nervousness in her scent.

After his anger cal calmed, Kouga started to think. 'Kuso! I need to
think on this, if I answer well, I can get in Kagome's good graces. However,
I won't make anything up, I want to tell the truth. If I show that I take
parenting seriously, which I do; then Kagome might realize that I'm serious
about wanting to be her mate. Of course, the best way to show her is with
the fox kit that she adopted. I've seen the way that she watches how dog-
breath and I both treat Shippo' Kouga snapped out of it as he noticed
Kagome's stare. "Ah, this is something think about. Parenting is something
we do instinctively, you know. A lot of beings don't think about it, we
would merely act similar to how our parents had done. But I want to help
you out, Kagome, so I'll try."

Kagome gave a dazzling smile at Kouga's willingness to sit down and
talk calmly. 'Huh, that was easier than I expected. Humph! I wish Inu-Yasha
would have a conversation in a polite manner instead of screaming and
cussing.' Taking a deep breath, she pushed all thoughts of her love-interest
away in order to talk. "That's okay Kouga, in that regard it's a lot like
humans."

Thinking of a way to approach the seeming elusive subject of
parenting, Kouga realized there was one way to approach the subject that he
could achieve two goals. One, he wanted to get to know more about
Kagome. And two; if he could reveal more about himself perhaps she would
be less nervous around him. "Kagome I have an idea, we can talk about our
own parents and how they dealt with us. That waycan can compare how
youkai and humans approach parenting."

Note= I originally thought the wolf youkai with the patch of darker hair that Kagome saved was called
Haggaku. I was wrong, it was Ginta. Haggaku is the one with the Mohawk. I couldn't tell who was who
until I watched the episodes after the battle with the bird demons. That was when they called each other by
name, so now I know ?

Ookami = wolf

Kistune = fox

Gokurakucho=rds rds of paradise , harpies= these are demon birds with humanlike head and torso
attached to a round ball of feathers that has a second face and wings.

I have been tempted to change the part of foxes taking only one mate. In Japanese myth, Kistunes are
symbols of sensuality. I added that Kistunes being monogamous because real foxes are monogamous.
Okay, so for the sake of this story, I'll add both elements= Kistunes are sensual creatures that are
monogamous once they've chosen a mate � lucky mate :p
