Hi. I got annoyed with all of those stories where someone goes biting someone else to mark them as their mate, so I tried to write something in response. Well, I hope you enjoy.

Kagome sat up in her sleeping bag. The gang was all asleep around a campfire in the grove of trees they were staying in that night. She shot an extra careful glace at InuYasha, to make sure he really was asleep, then got up and snuck out of camp.

After walking a little ways, Kagome reached a clearing. She sat down with her back to a tree to wait.

"Hay there."

Kagome jumped and whipped around. Kouga was standing there smiling at her.

"Hay," she replied. "I thought you'd never come." Kouga took her hand and helped Kagome to her feet, pulling her into a kiss on the way up.

"Let's get outa here and farther away from the smell of that mutt." Kouga said after a few moments.

"Ok," said Kagome, "But not too far away, remember, I need to be back before anyone wakes up and realizes I'm gone." Kouga picked her up and using his super speed, ran off into the distance.

Later, Kagome and Kouga were lying together in a cave, having just spent the last few hours in a very intense makeout session.

"Kagome?" Kouga murmured, playing his hand through Kagome's hair as he talked.

"Hmmm?" Kagome asked with her eyes closed, enjoying the feeling.

"You love me don't you?"

"Of course," she replied, "I haven't been secretly meeting with you for the last three months because I hate you."

Kouga chuckled nervously. "Right. Well, I was thinking, you love me, and I love you, s-so would you please be my mate?"

Kagome sat up on her arm, "Wait, you mean like, go all the way?" she asked, confusedly.

"Oh, no of course not," Replied Kouga hastily, "That is unless you want to," he blushed. "What I mean is just take position of being my mate. It's very simple, really. I just bite you on the neck, to leave a scar and my scent."

"What?"

Kouga hesitated, "Um… where did you want me to start from, did you not hear the whole thing?"

Kagome sat up all the way. "I heard you, you idiot, I meant, 'what, are you serious?'"

"Kagome, love, I don't understan-"

"You expect me to let you BITE me? I mean for one thing, I know I said I love you but I don't think I'm gunna spend the rest of my life with you. Besides, I'm not just a piece of property that-"

"Kagome I-"

"Shut up. Have any of you wolves even thought about how sexist that is? No wonder I haven't seen any female wolves, they probably left when they-" Kagome kept on ranting but Kouga had stopped listening.

'Maybe I can change her mind with my manly charm,' he thought.

"Don't worry, Kagome, it will only hurt for a little while, and I'll try to be gentle."

"Have you been listening to me at all?" Kagome demanded, having paused in her lecture to realize what Kouga had just said. "You stupid, machismo stuffed wolf. We're through." She got up and stormed off.

'Wait,' thought Kouga to himself. 'I'm confused.'
