I think this must be said. This is one of *counts* six stories. I don't know whether I should even post the others except for the one I was planning on posting. My problem is, I can never finish anything I start! Neo-Star brought this curse upon me. *growl* I just hope you enjoy this fic, which will have more chapters when I get the time to add them, and tell me what you think.

I like any criticism, compliments, flames, death threats. Anything's good to me!

Importencies: ( I like that word ^.^) "speaking" 'thinking' *actions* (usually my thoughts or just comments about the situation)

Disclaimer: I do not own Inu-Yasha-tachi! Rumiko Takahashi does, but one day. I swear I will own Inu-Yasha!! Mwuahahaha *cough cough* I need to stop doing that. ~~~~~~~ Chapter one: Soumei and Kaiho at your service!

Ice-blue-eyes pierced the sky trying to search for a way out. Surround. No escape. Another set of eyes, jade-green, were doing the same. Never let go. Don't split up. Their lives were on the line because they promised. Promised to keep the amber-eyed child from harm. Run. Run as fast as you can don't stop. Don't look back. Ignore any yelps of pain. Of course the child would not let the two get themselves killed. After all, he had just met them, but they had always been there. "We'll live and met again Inu- Yasha."
"Earth to Inu-Yasha. Hello. Anybody home?" Kagome.

"What!?"

"Don't snap at me! You were spacing for a moment there. What were you thinking about?"

"Things that should be forgotten. Now give me Ramen!"

"Should be forgotten? Why forget? And most importantly, what?" Kagome handed the Ramen over to the hanyou.

"I don't think that's any of your business."

"Inu-Yasha."

"Maybe I'll tell you later."

"Yay!"

"I said MAYBE!"

~~~Later on~~~

"Are you going to tell me?"

"Are the others asleep?"

"Yes, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, even Kirara are sleeping peacefully."

"Good."

"Well?"

"I'm trying to think how to put it!"

"."

"Okay."

"Begin."

"When I was younger, my father had obviously told a couple of youkai to look after me if I somehow ended up alone."

"Proceed."

"I had never even met the two who were supposed to watch out for me, not even after my mother died. Then one day, there they were, standing in front of me telling me to leave. I had gotten into a fight with a demon. I figure that they thought I was to weak," he scowled. "Before I left, they told me we would meet again. I was just wondering when again would be."

"They protected you?" Kagome was letting all this set into her mind. He nodded.

"And they told you they would meet with you someday?" Nod. "Maybe it will be soon. After all, we have been traveling the lands."

"Maybe."

A loud thud was heard. "Hentai!"

*sigh* "We better stop them."

"I'll be there in a little while. I want to think some more." (I don't know about you, but that's a little OCC to me.)

"Okay."
~~~In an area somewhere close~~~

"Where is he?" whined an ice-blue eyed wolf-youkai.

"He's close by," replied a very annoyed jade-eyed kitsune.

"We have been searching for him for over 50 years! How could someone be gone for 50 freaking years?" the wolf bellowed.

"Would you shut up!" screeched the male kitsune.

"Men have low patience."

"Women have annoying attitudes," mumbled the male.

"Grrrrrr.."

"Pathetic."

"Why you!" the female began pounding the male.
~~~Back to the hero/heroines~~~

"What's that sound?" Sango asked aloud.

"It sound like fighting," Miroku guessed.

"Youkai," Inu-Yasha sneered.

"My curiosity's getting the better of me. Let's go." Kagome motioned towards the commotion.

They walked in to find a male and female of different youkai species fighting. The female had ice-blue-eyes that made it look like a winter wonderland in the glowing pools. Her silvery hair was in a ponytail (not like Sango's, more poofy like layered hair in a ponytail), her bangs mussed from the fight. Behind her flowed a beautiful silver tail that shimmered with each turn she made. Her clothes consisted of: clothed/taped forelegs (like Koga's on his legs), a pale-blue (almost white) kimono that came a little bit above the knees and the arms flared out (like Inu-Yasha's), and a decorated, detailed sword on her left hip. The kimono she wore had sunburst designs on it (they look like a star with many points but only lines and not closed).

The male was equally gorgeous. His jade-green eyes held softness even though his eyebrows were seemingly always furrowed. His rust-brown hair was long and pulled into a ponytail as well (like Koga's for example) with his bangs fluttering every which-way, he too had the leg binds but his were black. He had white baggy pants that were underneath some of the binds, and a flared shirt (like Inu-Yasha's again) that was white and had some sort of black design on it. On his right hip lay a beautifully handcrafted black katana. Behind him was the same rust-brown color of a tail, a puffy tail. It looked like what Shippo's tail would be in the future.

"What is this the white clothes brigade?" Inu-Yasha asked.

"Huh?" The youkai stopped in their fighting long enough to notice the unexpected company. They took a whiff of air and a shocked look came over their face. "Inu.Yasha?"

"That's my name."

"Inu-Yasha!" the female came running towards Inu-Yasha and embraced him in a death-hold-hug.

"What-are-you-doing?" Inu-Yasha tried to pry the girl off him to get some breath.

"Hugging you! We missed you so much even though Mr. Dim-Wit doesn't want to admit it out loud," her gaze turned to the male then back to the suffocating hanyou. "Do you remember us?"

"Let-go. Can't-breath," Inu-Yasha gaped for breath once released.

"Yes Inu-Yasha, do you remember us after more than 60 (you have to include from when he was little and was told to leave plus the 50 years) years? You have no idea what I've gone through because of that! That-that-that thing over there has complained every day asking, "When will we find him," or, "How can someone be gone for over 50 freaking years?" It's insane! So please, do tell us that all of our searching hasn't brought us to a non- remember-able hanyou!"

"How dare you!" the female hit the male upside the head. "You shouldn't treat him like that!"

"Stop that Kaiho!" the guy said grabbing his head.

"Soumei, you're such an idiot. Only Kami knows why you were named "intelligent one" if you're so dense."

"You-you-temee!"

"Excuse me for not having a father. It's not my fault he died. And besides, speak for yourself. You too are a yarou."

"You smart-ass! Stop taking me so literal!"

"Why should I? That's just like the time you called a female dog-youkai a bitch. She was a bitch, so there's no insult there."

"Gah!" he pounced on her. "You *strangle* need to learn when to shut up!"

"Ano. Gomen-nasai demo. we're still here you know," Kagome sweatdropped.

"Huh?" the two once again stopped fighting to notice Kagome.

"Is she.?" Soumei asked.

"I think she is," Kaiho whispered back.

"Gomen. We are so sorry we ignored you," Soumei and Kaiho bowed.

"Uh." Kagome stared.

"Soumei."

"And Kaiho."

"At your service!" they chimed.

"We never knew Inu-Yasha had a-" he was cut off when Inu-Yasha hit them both.

"It's not that way!" he screamed at them.

"Lord Inu-Yasha! We wouldn't have known so. We have been searching for you and had not collected any information of your current existence or situation," Kaiho said in their defense.

"Lord-? Who are you people anyway?!" Inu-Yasha yelled.

"As we said before, Soumei and Kaiho. We promised to meet again. Have you forgotten my lord?" Soumei questioned.

"Must you address me like that?"

"If you don't want us to then we won't."

"I don't want you to."

"Okay. Fine with me. Saying that makes me feel like a slave and not a protector," Kaiho added. (okay, for those of you who are wondering, Kaiho means "Jewel of the Sea" and Soumei means "Intelligent one" as I said earlier)

"You mean you're them? The two who were told to protect Inu-Yasha?" Kagome was bewildered. As while Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and even Kirara looked very confused.

"In the flesh!" Kaiho smiled.

"You're overly ecstatic," Soumei folded his arms.

"Why you little!" another fight erupted.

"Enough!" Inu-Yasha was annoyed, really annoyed.

"Gomen! Gomen Inu-Yasha, gomen," the two apologized for a while.

"Why are you here?" he interrupted the sorry ritual.

"Why, to protect you from harm," Soumei looked at him as if he already didn't know.

"Protect? Ha! I don't need anyone to look out for me!" Inu-Yasha snorted.

"Lord Inu-Yasha, they have come a long way. Maybe you should allow them to do what they were told to do," Myouga came from nowhere.

"Oi! It's Myouga-yarou! Whatcha been up to flea?" Kaiho picked up Myouga from Inu-Yasha's shoulder. (I like Kaiho, she acts like me! ^_^)

"Kaiho! Put me down! You should respect your elders!" Myouga screamed and struggled to get free.

"Myo-yarou, you know I don't respect anyone but Inu-chan. You would merely be the annoying itch on my skin hiding deep inside the forest of my coat." (Coat as in animal hair. You know, like a dog's. Wolf in this scenario)

"Kaiho, he's right. You should respect your elders."

"Soumei! That means you'd have to respect me!" she chanted.

"Wha- No! You're only a few days older than me! That doesn't count."

"Shut up fox and bring me food," she ordered. "I'm not your henchman!"

"Jerk!"

"Idiot!"

"Bastard!"

"Bitch!"

"Asshole!"

"Kawai looking wolf!"

"Uh-Soumei.That hurt!" Kaiho began to cry. She always thought herself pleasant looking, and Soumei insulted her.

As like Inu-Yasha, Soumei couldn't stand crying. "Ah! No crying! Stop! I command you to stop your bawling!"

"Why should I? You hurt my prettiness!"

"Gah! Fine! *mumble mumble* You're not ugly."

"What did you say?"

"Grrrrr. I said! "You're not ugly!""

"Aww. How sweet! Apology accepted."

"What apology?"

"Hey! Would you two stop that! (Yeah! You're taking up the story with your fighting! *tries to hit the two but rams hand into computer screen* OUCH!) Are you two just gonna stand there arguing? If so, bye because we're leaving!" Inu-Yasha turned towards the village. (Wonder where the village came from.)

"Hey wait! We're coming!" they scrambled towards the Inu-Yasha-tachi.

~~~~~ Note- Heehee. I don't think I left you hanging on a cliff but I could have, so be grateful! I would like to say my Japanese name is Keri (hence simply-keri); I like being called Keri, not my American name. So if you review, which I know you will, call me Keri. (or Keri-sama, Keri-san, and even Keri-chan ^.^)

PLEASE REVIEW!! I won't continue unless I get more than 5 reviews. Not a whole lot of reviews so all you have to do is push that button right there that says, "Go." Remember, no review, no chappie two!

Love my reviewers! See you next chapter! (maybe)
