Torturing a Hanyou

or

A Daughter's Revenge

"Daddy! NO!"

Inuyasha growled low and deadly. "I want you out of here. Now."

Hikari's bottom lip trembled, her stormy eyes filled with tears. Tears trickled down her cheeks... a rare occurrence. "Daddy..."

"Tears won't work... not this time."

Hikari breaks down in sobs as her father points to the door of their family hut.

"If you are not out of my sight in five seconds I will not hesitate to tear you to pieces," he promised as he cracked his knuckles menacingly. "Never return."

After one pleading look to her mother, Hikari bolted from the hut.

"Inuyasha..."

"No, Kagome." He turned his back to the door. "This is the way it has to be."

Yoshio ran after his sister, neither Inuyasha nor Kagome stopped him. The young hanyou did not have to go far before he ran into his older sister, who was trembling in rage. He had seen her angry before, had seen temper tantrums and seen her face demons twice her size and take them down. But he had never seen her like this.

"I will get even with him for this," Hikari swore as she made a fist and stared into the woods. "He will regret every word." Then she turned to her little brother lightning fast, eyes flashing. "And YOU, little brother, are going to help me."

"Me?" he squeaked.

With a nod, Hikari ran into the woods.

"Is it safe to come out?"

"Yeah."

Shippo poofed back into a kitzune after hiding as a large toadstool during the short conversation. He would be the first to admit that it was a slightly cowardly move.

"You going to help her?"

Yoshio thought for a moment. Then nodded solemnly. Then he smiled sweetly. "And YOU, big brother, are going to help me... to help her."

Shippo laughed and crossed his arms over his chest. "No one needs to ask ME twice!"

"I can't believe Papa banned Ban from the house..."

"Yeah, well I can't believe they were dumb enough to kiss IN THE HOUSE!"

Yoshio grinned up at Shippo. "I said 'banned Ban'... get it? BANned"

Shippo ruffled his little brother's hair and grinned back. "I get it, kid." After a big sigh he put his hands on his hips. "C'mon kiddo, let go start plotting revenge."

"Shouldn't we wait for Kari?"

"Nah, she'll be out there with Ban awhile. Probably trying to comfort him after Inuyasha yelled at him like that. Or smack him for not standing up to Pop. Besides... who do you think taught her all her tricks?"

Author's Note: Hikari's stories will bounce her age around. Welcome to Hikari as a teen...

Sorry I have not written more and that this is so short. I had ANOTHER surgery on my hand (it is still in a cast so writing is difficult...sorry) after tearing the muscles. Updates WILL be slow. Again... sorry about that.
