The Wolf and the Dog

Chapter 9: Unfinished business

Kouga reached the outskirt of the wolves' lair by the time the sun was about to set. He stopped a few yards their den and looked down at his doggy, who had fallen asleep in his arms some time during their journey and was snoring softly. He smiled to see how innocent the dog looked when he was asleep. 'Almost like an little pup.'

"Inuyasha? Inuyasha?"

"No.. lemme sleep, go away." Inuyasha pouted in his sleep filled state.

"Inuyasha, wake up we're here." He smiled to see the cute pout on his mate's face. 'He looks absolutely adorable.'

"Huh??"

"Wake up sleepy head we have reached our den."

"We're here?"

"Hai... now if you would kindly release me we can proceed to your new home."

"Keh! I told you I can travel on my own." He grumbled rubbing his eyes with his fingers as he slid down the wolf's arms.

"If I did that I couldn't have seen the cute pouty face you've just made puppy." Kouga pinched the inu's nose gently.

"Keh!! I'm not a puppy."

"Yes you are. You're my puppy. Let's go now, we are late already and get ready for some fireworks." Kouga smiled as he slid his arms around his puppy and pulled him close as they both made their way towards the wolves' den.

As soon they reached the entrance Ginta came running to them.

"Kouga! Where have you been??? The elders are...." Before he saw the hanyou standing beside their leader who had a hand around him not to the mention that the hanyou smelled like Kouga and something else..??

"I...Inuyasha, boss what's he doing here?"

Kouga ignored Ginta's question. "Inform the elders to meet me in the council room. I have an announcement to make."

"But..."

"Ginta NOW."

"Yes boss!!"

After sending Ginta off to summon the elders he and Inuyasha made their way to the council room. Sensing his mate's apprehension he tightened his grip around his waist. "Relax Inuyasha, everything's going to be fine."

"What if they don't accept our relationship?"

"Oh don't worry, I am here to deal with it and besides after they know of your condition I don't think they would let you go anywhere." He smiled mysteriously.

Inuyasha blushed. "What do you mean?"

"Just wait and watch."

"KOOOOOOOUUUUUGGAAAAA!!!" A female voice shrieked as the wolf prince was tackled by a very hyper Yuuka. "You're back. Ginta told me you were in the council room and I couldn't wait...."

Inuyasha growled possessively in his throat. 'How dare she touch my mate?' He glared at the women who had attached herself to the wolf hugging him tightly.

Yuuka immediately released Kouga and turned to Inuyasha. "Is this him? Oh he's soooo cute!!! No wonder he captured your heart so easily and left you all mopey."

"Huh?" Inuyasha tilted his head to one side. He was confused. Who was this woman?

"Oh!!! He's adorable." Yuuka immediately tried to jump Inuyasha who gave a yelp as he immediately hid behind Kouga.
