33Wolf of the Stars
By: Sess-GalX50
A/N: This is a story of Inu and Koga and how they find love in each other's arms. This is in the first-person, the change I now K means Inu perspective went to Koga perspective, and vice versa. The chapters are named after the astrologic zodiac signs (Leo, Taurus, etc.) And they all have there own hidden meanings in the chapters! (By the way if anyone wants me to tell them about their astrology signs, they need but ask! Ja Ne! Don't forget to review!) I don't own Inuyasha and I have no desire to…. -. -
Ch.1: Leo – Those of the Sun
"I Will"
() The Leo. The strongest of the Zodiac signs. The representative of fire and bravery. Retains inner strength, courage and unfortunate concietment. Centered in the galaxy.
The Sun.

'Governing: The Heart'
'The flames…the embers…they're beautiful…' in the firelight were reflected two golden orbs, 'It's beauty is so attracting…and yet…' My hand lurched forward into the dancing flames. Sparks snapped at the hand and I pulled it away, 'If you come too close you get bit…by its heated jaws…'
I watched the flames in sheer awe as the companions I bare with me slept around its dangerous heat. I looked down at my smoldered hand and blew on it solemnly. I then raised myself to my feet and took a step to the right. I was caught off-balance and almost tumbled into the crisp flame.
I turned to my left and looked downward. Kagome's drawn, almost strained brown eyes looked up at me, filled with worry.
"You…you're not going to see…her…are you?" her voice was quivering, "Please…don't go…"
"I'm not going to see Kikyo!" I said with a smirk of humor, she looked at me, eyes burning with distrust, "I promise! I'm just…gonna go run awhile!"
I felt her let go of my sleeve and I smiled in gratitude, I was about to run off when she spoke.
"Inuyasha…" I turned at the sound of my name and my furry ears twitched, "Be careful." She pleaded softly.
"HEEEY! You know who you're talking to, right!" said with a cocky grin, "Besides- what could happen?" I then waved a quick good bye and bounded off for a harmless run.
Or….So I thought.

I glared into the embers and felt the heated reflection play across my body and dance on my icy-blue eyes.
"Those damn wimps…" I grumbled as I glowered at my lazy pack mates, "Ginta! Hakakku! GET UP!" I barked and they hardly flinched from their sleeping positions.
I curled my lips back over my fangs in annoyance. Some of my wolves looked up at me, ears perked with curiousity. I growled at them and they ducked their heads submissively. I snickered, smiling confidently.
"FINE! YOU CAN BOTH BURN IN THIS HELL-HOLE!" I spat into the flames and stormed off into the woods, my ears picked up the hiss of the complaining fire but I ignored it as I made my way through the bramble bushes, into the tree-filled forest. I leaned my head up and sniffed the wind lightly. My ears moved with every sound. Then I found the scent I was searching for. My head went down and I snickered, "Inuyasha."
I kicked up my feet and bounded off into the night, chasing the tinsel-scent of the dog.
-(K)now(I)-
I glowered at a gentle stream that was flowing in front of me. I bent and looked down at my reflection and my silver hair fell in locks over my shoulders. I stared at the golden eyes rippling in the water and they stared back at me. The water was suddenly disturbed as a small trout swam into the shallow depths.
I smiled and stood. I sniffed the air. All seemed clear. I pulled off my haori and untied the loop around my waist. It fell to the ground in a bundle. I pulled off my long, yukata-style pants and they pooled around my feet. I shivered as the gentle wind caressed my nude body.
My hair ran its soft ends over my torso as it blew in the gentle wind. I slipped my bare foot into the chilly water. I shuddered and walked into the water until it was just over my bare loins.
I could feel my hair wrap around my hips as my ears twitched alertly. I let my eyelids ease over my eyes as I fell back into the water. The water rushed over my body as I fell down into the watery depths.
My ears automatically pressed to my head to cease water from entering them. I let myself hit the river bottom, a cloud of dusty water swelled around my body as I made contact with the bottom.
I opened my eyes and looked up at the night sky through the crystal-blue water, then let myself float to the top. Then, I just floated along in the water, letting it gently caress and splash my sides as my hair rippled out around me.
I stared, unblinking at the stars, then reached up a clawed hand and pointed to a bright star. I connected it with a few other stars, drawing what seemed to be a lion, "A lion…"
I muttered as my hand came to rest back in the water.
"What about a lion?" I perked my ears to the voice and my body dropped under me. I could no longer reach the bottom and my feet treaded beneath me. I scanned the shores until I found a familiar figure.
"Koga." I hissed as my hair rippled in front of me.
"The one and only!" I heard him cheer cockily.
My ears twitched. Why wasn't he attacking me? He was just sitting there on the shore, his fur leggings off, feet in the water, staring at me.
"….Whaaat?" I questioned suspiciously as the moon came out behind the clouds and spread its rays on the earth and water.
To be Continued… (That's part one of the First chapter, part two is short, then it's on to chapter 2!)(R&R!)
