Kouga’s Condition
When he felt well enough, he decided to go see Kouga.
This was it. He was finally going to tell him that he wanted to marry Tsuki.
“Hi! Kai!”
Red hair, white fur, blue eyes, and a bouncy disposition, definitely Renge, the firstborn.
“Hi, Ren, is your Papa here?” he asked.
“Yeah, do you need to see him?” she asked.
“Yeah, it’s important. Could you call him for me?”
“Okay! PAPA~, KAI NEEDS TO SEE YOU~!”
“You know this cave echoes, right Ren?” Kouga asked.
Ren grinned. “I know, but it got you to come quickly, right?”
”If you wake the little ones with your screaming, you’re in trouble.”
“Oh, sorry baby brother and sister!” she whispered.
“That’s better. What do you need Kai?”
“To talk to you.”
“Well, talk.”
“Not in front of your kids! I don’t trust this secret to be kept a secret with them around!”
“Secret?” Ren asked. “I like secrets!”
Kouga paused. “Secret, huh? Alright. Ren, you and Ryou are in charge until either Papa or Mama get back. Hagi, you watch the little ones, okay? ”
The second daughter did not say a word. She only nodded.
“Alright, what was so important and secret that you couldn’t say it in front of my kids?” Kouga asked.
Kai bowed low to the ground. “Please allow me to have Tsuki as my bride!”
“What the? You’re serious?”
“Of course I’m serious! Kouga, you know I am!”
He bit his tongue. He’d never called Kouga by his name before.
Kouga sighed. “Get up, you idiot. Have you talked with her at all?”
Kai looked to the side. “She said she didn’t mind the idea of loving me as a mate.”
“Wait, back up, my sister, Little Ms. Oblivious, said something like that to you?”
Kai grinned. “She did. Granted, she probably thought I was delusional from my wounds, but she did say it.”
Kouga scowled. “Better get your ears checked, Kai because you aren’t marrying her until I’m sure she wants you.”
“What? Why are you being so hard on me all of a sudden?”
“Because you’re the guy who’s always wanted to take my sister from me!”
“But other brothers have to deal with what happens when their sisters get married!” he protested.
“Other brothers didn’t raise their siblings. It’s different for Ayame and me. Renge was the first child born to us as a couple, but if you asked us who we thought our first child really was it’d be Tsuki. That’s why I can’t let her go with you until I’m absolutely sure she’ll be happy. I want to hear her say those words to me, not you. Call me soft if you want, but that’s my condition. ”
Stupid Kouga.
He paused.
“What about our agreement from when I was younger? I’m still betrothed to her, right?”
Kouga scowled. “Didn’t I say she had to choose you? How can I be sure of it if she hasn’t told me herself?”
Okay, so Kouga wasn’t so stupid.
“So she just has to tell you how she honestly feels about me, right?”
“Correction, she has to come tell me herself that she wants to marry you. You can’t put the idea in her head, understand?”
Just make it harder why don’t you?
“Alright. I get you, but when she comes to you, you’d better honor your word, Kouga.”
“I swear I will.”
Kai turned his back to him. “If it makes you feel better, when we do marry, I doubt we’ll leave this clan.”
“Don’t get ahead of yourself, Kai! She hasn’t said yes yet!”
He grinned. He’d already found a way around Kouga’s little condition.
