Keyhole

They all knew it was a demon simply by the way he entered the clearing. What kind of demon he was however had them all stomped. When the dust cleared though it was completely obvious what kind he was. He had jet black hair in a high pony tail, icy blue eyes, tan skin, and he had a brown tail swaying from behind him.

Kagura gasped, “He is a wolf demon.”

The demon in question smirked, “Would you ladies like some assistance?”

They all nodded their heads and he attacked the last two demons taking them out easily. Once he completed his task he made his way over to the girls and children.

Smirk still in place he introduced himself, “My name is Kouga prince of the eastern wolf tribes.”

Kagura stepped forward with a shy smile, “My name is Kagura, these are my friends Kikyo, Kagome, and Sango. Kagome has adopted the two little ones as her own the boy is Shippo and the girl is Rin.”

Kouga nodded his head but his eyes where firmly locked onto Kagura as his beast screamed mate in his head.

Shaking his head he stepped forward, “Forgive me for being so forward Kagura but would you be my woman?”

Kagura’s eyes widened in shock but she was still smiling shyly, “I have one condition I was betrothed when I was younger and I was told he was a wolf demon. My mother gave him something and I have the other half. You would not happen to be the same one would you?”

Kouga smirked as he pulled a small box from his armor, “I carry this with me everywhere in hopes that I would find my lost intended. If you have a key and it fits then you are the one I have been searching for years for.”

Kagura pulled a silver key from her kimono sleeve and placed it in the keyhole unlocking it. Opening the box Kagura could feel tears running down her cheeks. Pulling the necklaces from the box Kagura placed one around Kouga’s neck and the other around hers.

Kikyo looked at the necklaces, “Those are beautiful Kagura where did they come from?”

Kagura smiled softly, “They were my mother and fathers. My father had them made as a mating gift.”

Kouga grinned, “So Kagura are you ready to return to my den and finally become my mate?”

Kagura blushed prettily, “Sorry Kouga but I have to help my friends complete their mission first.”

Kouga nodded then asked, “What kind of mission? I will help if you all will allow me to.”

Kagura looked at Kikyo with hope in her eyes.

Kikyo smiled, “Yes Kouga we can use all the help we can get. As for the rest it is a long story perhaps we should go ahead and set up camp for the night in the next clearing over. We can explain everything then.”

Kouga nodded in understanding, “You go ahead to the clearing and I will hunt us something for dinner.”
