Here's a new story. Thought of it while having trouble with my first story, "A Stupid Mistake". Hope you like it. Sorta like "True Blood" :)

I don't own Inuyasha.

'Damn...

Demons.

They were living right beside us the whole time.

They have the strength to kill us with one slap to the face.

Why didn't they?'

Rin Katana sat in front of her television. Baffled at the new development. She could already hear people running down the street, screaming.

'Huh, Kaede will know more about this.'

"Child, I see you now know."

Rin turned around, facing her elderly guardian.

"Kaede... I-I..." Rin whipped back around to the television, wanting to here more. Kaede sighed.

"We have more information considering Mikos and Houshis. It seems that select monks and priestesses really do have deadly powers. It is told that demons and these individuals have been feuding for centuries, but this is the first time that average people have known. Now, to enlighten us, here is one of these demons now."

Rin's eyes widened at the man who walked on to the set. He had the longest silver hair. It went down to the backs of his knees. He had pointed ears. He also had two magenta stripes across each cheek bone, and one magenta stripe on each eyelid. He had a prussian blue crescent moon on his brow. He wore traditional clothing, white haori and hakama. The haori had red Sakura blossoms splashed across the sleeves. He donned heavy-looking armor, and had a huge furry wrap on his right shoulder. He golden eyes pierced the camera as it zoomed in on him.

He was also the best looking man she had ever seen.

"Hello, what is your na-" The newscaster was cut off by a silken tenor voice.

"Youkai. That is the correct term. We prefer to be called youkai." The man spoke with an air of superiority. His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Oh, I just assumed-" Again, cut off.

"You assumed wrong." his eyes narrowed further.

"I apologize, sir. I didn't mean to offe-"

"You should apologize. Would you prefer it if us youkai began to call ningen "Vermin"?" His face turned friendly, though he didn't smile. He turned to the camera.

"Hello, my name is Sesshomaru. Though over the years, I have taken a second name. Taisho. We youkai are not here to harm you, if we were, all humans would be extinct by now. We youkai live for long periods of time. That is why I am wearing this clothing, it is from a long forgotten era. I myself am over 700 years old. There are much older youkai out there. We don't want to have to hide in humanoid forms any longer. This is not my true form, it IS my humanoid form. Though I have a better, more convincing one that I use in public, which has black, shorter hair, blunt nails, no markings, and dark eyes. If I was in my true youkai form, this studio would be rubble. My true form is a dog, much bigger than this building. I am an InuYoukai, and I am proud of that fact. We have nothing to hide any longer. If you, a youkai, have bright cerulean hair, let it out. If you, a youkai, have sharp, three inch claws, let them be seen. If you, a youkai, howl when you take a mate for the first time, let it be heard. We are youkai, we are proud." The man-Sesshomaru Taisho- finished his speech.

The camera swept the audience, and about a dozen people looked around, then jumped all the way down from the seats, changing into odd forms. People shrieked, then looked closer. All of the youkai had friendly, happy looks as they began hugging each other on the set. A few youkai women started crying.

'They're all so strange... but most of them are beautiful!' Rin was in awe.

There was a beautiful young woman with bat wings, three clawed fingers on each hand, bright purple hair, and dark crimson eyes. There was an attractive, middle aged-looking man with canary yellow skin, emerald eyes, and spiked fire-engine red hair. Another attractive youkai had silver hair down to his waist, golden eyes, and dog ears.

"We are also here to talk about related subject." Sesshomaru's eyes cut to the dog-eared man standing near him. "Here is my younger half brother, Inuyasha Taisho, to talk about it." He got up, put a hand on the strange man's shoulder, and guided him to the chair. The quiet applause died down and Sesshomaru made a simple sweeping gesture with his hand. The youkai lined up at the side of the stage. It was obvious that Sesshomaru was in charge.

"Hello, my name is Inuyasha Taisho. And guess what! I'm not a youkai!" His voice was cocky and he crossed his arms, smirking at the camera as the audience murmured in confusion.

"Yeah, I'm half youkai, half human." He laughed at the confused looks people were giving him. Only the youkai seemed to understand. A few looked disgusted, but most just shrugged and waited for him to complete his little speech.

"My father was the great Inutaisho. He was the most powerful youkai in Japan, about, maybe, 600 years ago?" He looked over at Sesshomaru, who nodded. "My mother was Izayoi. She was human. They mated, and my father died when he protected us. My mother was later stoned to death for bringing me into the world." His voice cracked at the end, but he looked to Sesshomaru, then regained his composure.

"Sesshomaru and I shared a father, but his mother was a youkai as well. So Sesshomaru is a full youkai, and only my half brother. We feuded for a long time, but made peace about 100 years ago. Since my father was very, very powerful, and since he marked my mother before she became pregnant with me, I will live a long time. As long as Sesshomaru if nothing happens to me. Usually, half-youkais don't live as long and don't find mates. But at least I'm pretty. For as many half-youkais that are born pretty, there's just as many born not so pretty." He looked around. "Also, people used to call us half-breeds, and abominations. But guess what. We're still powerful enough to kill a full youkai. I've done it many, many, many times before. So that means, DON'T GET HALF-YOUKAIS ANGRY BY CALLING US NAMES. WE'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT SHIT LONG ENOUGH." He finished his speech by shouting the last part, and the youkai on the stage smiled at him and cheered for his bravery.

The newscaster was still speechless.

Sesshomaru walked in front of the camera. "We are already arranging for youkai police departments in every area around the world. So fear not. Youkai crime will not be tolerated. We have had secret societies for hundreds of years. We have laws, but we also have rights. We won't mess with humans, as long as humans don't mess with us. Give and take, world. Give and take."

With that, he smirked, narrowing his eyes.

The camera shut off.
