Koga looked at the nine females that filed into the caves, being led by a guard from the Southern pack, Chishio Naya. Koga lifted his eyebrow as he stared at the scarred ookami youkai, who had earned his name by the age of one year after killing an unknown number of men in a battle. "Chishio Naya," he spoke, nodding his head at the guard, who glared at him with red eyes; red eyes he had been born with. "I trust you had no trouble getting here."
The youkai nodded & put his hand on the female closest to him on his right. "Koga, this is Ravu," Chishio Naya said, before pointing to the next female. "She is Roku Hana. She is Fuyu," he said, pointing to the next ookami female.
As Chishio Naya spoke, Koga looked over the females being named. Ravu was tanned & built well for a female, with reddish-brown hair that was let loose to fall around her shoulders, & green eyes. Roku Hana had silver hair that was held up & back by a hair band, & had blue eyes. Her body was not as built as Ravu's but was the average build for a female ookami. As for Fuyu, she was the one that stood out from the other two named so far, with her crystal blue eyes, blue-black hair, & well-toned body, that dwarfed Ravu's in height. Her hair was also held back & up by a hair band.
Koga raised his hand, stopping Chishio Naya from talking any further. "Hold on a moment." He looked at the three females just name & pointed to Ginta who now stood beside him. "I'm putting you with him during your stay here." He looked at Chishio Naya. "Go on," he said as the named females went with Ginta to the back of the cave, where they disappeared behind a wall of stone which led to Ginta's bedding.
Chishio Naya nodded & waved his hand for the other six females to move forward. "Chuugi," he said pointing to the one taking up space by his side where Ravu had been. "She is known to bring the most pups out of a mating; you're lucky to get her." He put his arm on the should of one female who seemed to be staring at Hakkaku instead of Koga. "She is Shimofuri Tsukikage. She is also known for her pups." He grabbed the arm of another female & yanked her forward so Koga could see her. "This piece of work is Naki Tamashii."
As he listened to the fellow ookami male speaking, he once again took in the appearance of each woman. Chuugi looked a lot like Ravu with her reddish-brown hair & green eyes, but her hair was held back by a hair band unlike Ravu. She was not as toned as Ravu, but same as Roku Hana, was average build. Shimofuri Tsukikage was a unique ookami youkai with one lavender eye & one blue eye with light brown hair, an unusual combination for any ookami. She had average build as well. Last for the next pair of three, was Naki Tamashii, a name Koga wasn't too thrilled about, but still paid attention. She was plain with brown eyes & black hair, average build as well.
Koga once more held up his hand, stopping Chishio Naya from talking further. "I want those three to go with Hakkaku," he spoke, getting a nod from Chishio Naya as he pointed at the ookami with the silver spikes in the form of a mohawk on the top of his head. "Is Chuugi related to Ravu?"
Chishio Naya nodded. "They are sisters from separate litters," he spoke as the three ookami women that were named, went to Hakkaku, who took them to his own private bedding behind a different wall of rock. Chishio Naya looked around for a third member of the pack beside Koga for the remaining females to go to. "Where is your third man?" He asked.
"He is out at the moment, but he will be back shortly. What are the names of these three?" Koga asked, looking at the remaining three whom were looking around the caves from their spot behind Chishio Naya.
"She is Shinrei," he said, pointing to one that looked like a youkai with only three-quarter blood, earning an eyebrow lift from Koga. "And she is Seishou," he said, pointing to the one that now stood by his left side. "She has given birth to many pups in her life, all of them healthy. My pack hope you will be pleased with the pups she bares to your pack member." Chishio Naya looked at the last ookami female & gave a slight sneer. "I do not like her myself, but the alpha male favors her. She is Hoshii."
"Why does Shinrei appear to not be of full blood?" Koga asked.
"Because she is not. We have no other females we can give you at the moment that are full blooded youkai. My pack apologizes for this & hope you will still take her for your pack member."
Koga sighed. -I will have to give her to Ginta or Hakkaku to mate with,- he thought as he looked the girl over. She had ookami ears on the top of her head & long silver hair. -If I breed her with the mutt face, then it could bring out a child with less youkai blood or the same as her. I need pups of full blood or at least damn well close enough to it. I'm pushing it with letting Inu-kurro mate with these women...- "We'll take her," he finally said before looking over at Seishou, who had beautiful gray eyes & short reddish blonde hair, then at Hoshii, who had black hair & blue-green eyes.
"I will take leave now Koga," Chishio Naya spoke, bowing to the Alpha male. "I will be back in a few weeks to make sure the females are with pups."
Koga watched as the ookami male turned & left the caves, leaving the remaining three females behind. The three females looked at him. "The male you women will be mating with is not here at the moment, though he should be back soon," he spoke. "When he gets here, you will either breed with him or be sent back to your Southern pack."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inu Yasha ran as fast as he could through the trees, knowing that Koga would be angry at him for being late to welcome the females from the Southern pack, but he had forgotten about it & only remembered when he caught the scent of wolf on the wind. -Dammit,- he thought. -He's going to think I'm not going to hold my part of the deal!-
When he came across the ookami den finally, he stopped running & took a moment to catch his breath before he continue inside to see Koga speaking with three females. -They must be the ones I'm going to be breed with,- he thought.
Hearing footsteps at the mouth of his caves, Koga looked up to see Inu Yasha. "Well, what do you know?" He said before he leapt away from the females & landed infront of the hanyou. "I thought you weren't going to show mutt face." He smacked Inu Yasha's shoulder, making the hanyou grimace. "You're late."
"I told you I would be here, I was just late leaving Totosai's cave," he spoke. "I didn't forget." He looked at the three females that looked at him, staring openly. "Um, are they the ones I'm suppose to breed with."
"That's right Inu Yasha," Koga answered, patting the hanyou on the back. "Those females are all yours, enjoy. The one with ears on her head is Shinrei, the one with the short hair is Seishou, & the other one is Hoshii... I don't have any other breeding rooms, so you & the females are going to have to take it outside."
"Outside? But we would all be vulnerable outside."
"The females can take turns taking watch over the whole event," Koga said. "It's not the first time things have been done this way."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inu Yasha sighed as he ran his fingers through his long hair, wincing when his claws snagged at a knot, making him sigh. "You should really let someone take care of that mane for you," said a voice that made him turn his head. "Catriona!" He rose to his feet & moved over to her, embracing her in a semi-tight hug.
"Hey Inu Yasha," Catriona said, smiling as she returned the hug, burying her face against his shoulder. "What are you doing here?"
"I came here to help Koga with his pack..." He answered, hoping she would know what he meant so he wouldn't have to discuss it.
Catriona nodded slightly against his shoulder. "It's so good seeing you Inu Yasha, I need your company."
He pulled back slightly, looking into the eyes of the woman his heart turned over for. "Is something wrong Catriona?" He asked, his brows knitting together from his concern. "Did something go wrong with you & Sesshomaru?"
Catriona shook her head. "No, nothing went wrong with us," she answered. "I got a letter from him yesterday, telling me to stay here until he sends for me because of a battle that is about to occur between him & the Inu Youkai Lord of the Eastern Lands. The youkai thinks Sesshomaru has grown weak because a ningen is his mate."
Inu Yasha shook his head. "I'm sorry Catriona. I know this going to sound very unlike me, but... I know my brother can defeat the youkai of those lands, having defeated him many times before."
