Yakusoku
Chapter Five
Kouga growled, annoyed at himself. He idly swung his leg back and forth from the tree branch he was lying on. The sun was about to rise and he would soon leave to fix their little water problem. Would Ayame stay? He hated to admit it, but he was starting to enjoy her company. All his females had left back to the North since the water shortach occurred.
He growled again as his ears picked up Ayame's whimpering. It wasn't like he'd meant to scare her. He truly didn't want her to leave now. It was actually fun watching her boss his own wolves around when she got mad. A smirk came onto his face but left as he heard another high pitched whimper.
"That's it," he grumbled slipping down the branch nonchalantly. He walked back into the cave ignoring the comments Ginta and Hakkaku were whispering. He walked to the hay bed at the end of the cave and stared down at Ayame. She was crumpled down in the same spot she had been in earlier. She looked so weak like that it made him annoyed even worse. He bent down grabbing her upper arm.
"Itai!" Ayame yelled in surprise. She tried to pull away seeing Kouga. He avoided her eyes as he pulled her up and started out the cave again. Ayame let out more cries trying to pull away. Kouga suddenly stopped as she pulled again. He felt his foot starting to slide back. He pulled forward but to no avail as she pulled away. He felt the muscles tense in his arms as he yanked her forward. Ayame yelped as her foot slipped. Kouga caught her and set her back up.
"You're coming with me," he said starting again. Ayame bowed her head in submission and stopped her struggling. Kouga loosened his grasp on her wrist and gently rubbed his thumb over the area as he continued.
"No way to win a girl..." Hakkaku whispered. Ginta snickered as Kouga shot a death glare, making Hakkaku fall back into the waterless lake. Kouga suddenly released Ayame's wrist.
"Start up the riverbed. I'll catch up. I need to have a little talk with my men."
Ayame almost laughed at Ginta's expression. She looked back at Kouga and remembered the pain that had been in her wrist. Slowly she set her hand in her other rubbing the wrist. She looked down in surprise to find no pain. She looked up at Kouga again and was about to ask when his head suddenly turned to her making her jump back.
"Well? Get going," his voice was softer. Slowly Ayame turned and started up the hill and onto the river bed. Kouga waited until she was out of hearing range. He turned to Hakkaku who was climbing out of lake.
"And I suppose you know how to get one?" he asked crossing his arms and hopping onto the post. Hakkaku scratched the back of his head and set his spear up.
"Well, I know that the way you're going you'll never get one."
Kouga growled making Hakkaku step back. Ginta snickered again, "Hakkaku doesn't know how to get one."
"And I suppose you do?" Kouga asked.
"First of all," Ginta started, "you must control your temper. You're scaring the poor girl to death."
Kouga cocked a brow turning fully to Ginta. "For once, you're coming in handy." With that he leapt onto the river bed to catch up with Ayame.
"Thank... hey! What the hell is that suppose to mean, Kouga! Kouga?! Kouga!!!"
Hakkaku snickered as Ginta frowned angrily and plopped down onto the patch of dry yellow grass.
To be continued...
Somehow... what Ginta said sounded amazingly the same as what the tea pot, clock, and candlestick said in "Beauty and the Beast"
