It was on the night of the second day that Mokoto showed up. He had a peice of bread and a cup of water with him. I arched a brow. "I know you probably wont accept this but it took alot of work to get." He whispered so even i could hardly hear it.

He slipped the bread between the bars and tried to get me to grab it. I shook my head no. He chuckled softly. "I figured as much. It's ok. You'll be out tomorro and I heard Yourochie-samma say he was going to double your training and your food rations." He said leaning his back aginst the cage.

I leaned forward and gently shoved him. Telling him to leave befor he gaught caught. He laughed again. "I won't get caught. I'm a higher level than you so i can sence when someone is coming." His voice floated to my ears.

I sat back and just enjoyed a nonhateful companyon. And we stayed like this for a long time. Untill Mokoto silently rose bowed to me and walked away. I sat for the rest of the day till finally at dusk Yourochie unlocked the cage. I stood quickly.

"Pretend to be weak." He comanded.

But the problem was... Was that I was weak. It seamed that while sitting outside all day and all night had infected some of my new wounds. And the pain it caused every time i moved drained me of energy.I let Yourochie help me into the building and into an infourmery. A small fat woman emeatly began to fuss over me.

"What have you done to the poor child Yourochie! She looks half dead! And her claws have grown back!" She scolded not using an honerific.

I looked at my hands. My claws had grown back! I hid them quickly. The woman laughed. "She had taken the punishment of Ookami. Her honer rivals mine." Yourochie laughed as he let me on a soft coushion.

"How's your back? You smell of infection." He mummered.

I nodded.

"Well off with the shirt! you got an awful bad wound as far as i can tell." The plunp woman commanded.

I pulled my shirt off. The woman gasped. "You let her get an infection! Shame Yourochie!" She growled.

"Hush Alluriana (Meaning charming grace). I know what i have done." Yourochie said softly.

"Well Lass! How you feelin?" She asked me.

I shrugged painfully.

"She doesn't talk. You should hear her voice. I like it." Yourochie stayted.

My cheeks flushed.

"Won't talk ehh? Why is that? And if she doesn't talk how did you hear her voice?" Alluriana said grabing a jar full of horrid smelling cream.

She began rubbing it on my back. It stung really bad. But not as bad as wet whips so i didnt move to agknowlage the pain.

"She told me she wanted to take Ookamis' place." He murrmered.

"Well she has been in pain for sometime. She puts up an amazing front. Isn't that right Lassie." Alluriana asked.

I went ridged for half a second then could she possiably know that?

"A front? Impossable. I would have seen through it." Yourchie said stiffly.

"She's... What? Fourteen? " she asked.

I nodded.

"She's fourteen. And by these old scars she's been abyused as a child?"

I nodded again.

"She's been putting up a front for her entire life. That's an awful lot of practice." The woman came to my front and rubbed the cream on my chest.

"I had no idea! She blows it off like it's nothing!" Yourochie gasped.

"She's still a girl Yourochie! Even if she's a demon She needs a little more nurturing than the boys!" Alluriana hissed.

The door suddenly snapped open. I pinned my ears and slamed my tail painfully down on the ground. Mokoto appeared. He blushed at my current condition. I wore nothin but my tatter and bloodied breast strap.

He looked at yourochie" Yourochie-Sama! An Inu-Hanyo (meaning half dog demon half human) Has been sighted by one of the scouts! The scout said it was Inuyasha! The Lord Of The West's Brother!" Mokoto panicked

I looked at Yourochie. His face had drained of all color. "Were you told what the Hanyo wanted?" Yourochie asked calmly

"No Sampi. But I was told that his eyes were bleeding red." Mokoto panicked again.

It was silent for a moment. What did if matter if a Hanyo was coming? And so what if his eyes were red? Suddenly Yourochie snapped His fingers.

"When that Hanyo goes all deamon It's Impossiable for humans to stop him. So we'll fight fire with fire! Chinmoku you will Learn to fight With your Youki! How far away is the Hanyo?" Yourochie asked.

I zoned out. Fight with My Youki? How in the hell was I supposed to do that? Oh well if it meant that I got to learn I don't really care. I then glanced up at mokoto. His eyes were wide with wonder. I arched a brow.

"You're a... Neko Youki!" He gasped.

My eyes grew wide. I hadn't noticed that my ears were now at full attion and sticking straight up. Mokoto suddeny grabbed them and started petting them. The most pecular noise came from my throught and I leaned my head into his hands. Yourochie laughed.

"It would seam we have her trigger. Alluriana. Hand me those binding beads." Yourochie stayted.

I was to bussy purring as Mokoto scrached me behind the left ear.

"Mokoto. I want you to put this callor on Chinmoku. It will bind her to you." Yourochie said handing Mokoto a necklace with round little purpple beads on it. Sepperating some of the beads were the fangs of demons.

"What do you mean bind her to me?" Mokoto sounded skeptical.

I shoved my head into his hand. He started scraching again. I purred.

"You will be able to controll her. But first you must put the necklace of her and say the sealing word." Yourochie stayted.

"Ok..." Something slipped over my head. It was the necklace.

"What is the sealing word?" Mokoto asked.

"You come up with the word. For what ever word you say. As in let's say you say... Lie down. She would slam into the floor and emeatly stop what she was doing. But if you choose a more gently cammand. Like... Loves or protect. She will either cullde with you or give her life to protect you." Yourochie said.

"Umm... So I can't change it?" Mokoto sounded confused.

"No. Once you choose the word you can not change it." Alluriana stayted.

"Ok. Loves?" Mokoto asked.

It was like a spell came over me. I was on all fours and started to rub my head on his calfs like a gigantic cat. I stopped after about thirty seconds.

"Good! It worked! Now let's go to the training room. We have about three hours. I know she has't to be tired but we'll quickly teach her, her second command. "

Fiveteen muniuts leater...

I was now sitting(more like laying) next to Mokoto. This necklace had weird effects on me. Never before had I wanted to be this close to someone. Let alone a boy!

"Ok. Now for her second command. Protect. On this one you must use a word that anyone hardly ever uses." Yourochie suggested.

I payed him no mind. I was bussy plotting on how I was going to get Mokoto to scratch my head again.

"Ummm ok so just a random word... How about murasaki(Meaning purple)?" he sugested.

"Ok that will work. Stand Chinmoku. Yourochie commanded.

I hopped to my feet. Arching a brow.

"Say the word Mokoto." Yourochie commanded.

"Murasaki." Mokoto stayted. Still sitting.

As soon as the word was out. Yourochie charged Mokoto. I hissed and hopped in front of him. I collided with Yourochie. Our hands clasping eachother like we were dancing.

"Say it again." Yourochie mummbled.

"Muraski." Mokoto said standing.

Yourochie suddenly leanded into me. I was thrown off ballence and he used this to his advanatage. I was kicked halfway across the massive room. I landed with a thud. Mokoto cried out. I stood quickly. Yourochie was sitting behind Mokoto. His hands and forearms wrapped around his head.

"I'm going to break his neck if you come any closer." Yourochie smiled.

I didn't let the smile fool me. His thret rung with promiss.

Mokoto cried out again.

Yourochie whispered something in his ear. My ears twitch trying to pick up what was said. I couldn't hear. I had no idea why. I took another step forward.

Yourochie tightened his grim on Mokoto. He cried out again.

"Ah,ah,ah. Your killing him." Yourochie grinned.

Yourochie suddenly threw his weight forward and pinned Mokoto to the ground. His knee on Mokoto's back.

Anymore presure and Mokoto's spine would snap. I pinned my ears and growled. My vission tinged red.

"Aw kitty doesn't like her play thing to get hurt." Yourochie chuckled.

He leaned forward slightly. Mokoto cried out.

"Muraski!" Mokoto screamed.

Suddenly... It was like... Something inside me snapped. My fangs lengthened. My claws sharpened. My hearing grew as well as my sence of smell. My vission clouded completly red. I shot forward with amazing speed and tackled Yourochie to the ground. My right hand snuggly around his throught. I was carefull with my claws. I didn't want to hurt him. Just get him away from Mokoto.

"Loves!" Mokoto yelled.

And just like that. I snapped back to normal. I got off Yourochie as my nails shortened as well as my fangs. My vission cleared as I tackled Mokoto to the ground. I started purring and rubbed my head on Mokoto's chest.

"It worked! Say it again Mokoto!" Yourochie commanded.

"Muraski." Mokoto commanded.

My vission clouded red and everything sharpened. I quickly got off Mokoto and sented the air. My tail touching Mokoto's chest so I knew where he was. I could hardly smell something I couldn't put my finger on. I let out a growl.

"I can smell him to. Inuyasha is close. I'm going to gather the instructors. Mokoto I don't think you want to keep changing Chinmoku. Keep her out of sight till all the candals go out. She will now protect you with her life." With that Yourochie walked out.

"It's ok Chinmoku. Just a few more muniuts. I wonder what He wants?" Mokoto said standing. He scratched my ear. I purred softly. Mokoto chuckled.

The smell was getting stronder by the second. I began to grow restless. My tail flicking back and forth. And finally all the candals in the entire building blew out. I had no idea how But Mokoto tensed.

"That's the signal. When all the flames go out all who are able are supposed to meet outside." Mokoto stayted.

I needed hear no more! I crouched infront of Mokoto and pulled him on my back. I didn't wait to hear him complain. I flashed out of the room and down manny hallways in a matter of seconds. I was out the two main doors in a muniut. And was in the middle of a group of mostly teachers I would prusume. I saw a few kids. Niji one of them.

I put Mokoto down and pulled him closer to the fromt. I pinned my ears and tucked my tail in my pants. No need to scare all the Humans. I was in the front ranks now. Mokoto right behind me. It was then I saw him. Half dog half human.

I didn't see what the big deal was. He looked alot like me.

"I have come in serch of one White Neko- Youki. My older Brother wants her and has taken someone very dear to me. If I do not bring the Neko-Youki back tonight He will kill said person. I can smell her among you. If she does not come out I will slaughter you all."

During his little speach I looked at his appearance. He had white hair like me. Ears on top of his head. Like me. He wore a red Kimono and had a rusty old sword at his side.

"I am sorry to inform you Inuyasha. But you or the Lord has heard wrong. We have no White Neko-Youki." Someone from the crowd yelled.

"I have made no mistake. White Neko are very rare! I will give you one more chence to give her up." Inuyasha growled. Red started to flood his eyes.

"Muraski." Mokoto whispered. Power flooded through me at the word. My pupples dilated. I streeked tword the now fully demon Inuyasha. We clashed together as i landed a perfect punch in his gut. He growled and tried to grab me

I was holding back. I didn't want to hurt the dog. He was going to loose someone who was apparently extreamly important to him tonight. I was landing punches and he was missing them. It was like we were dancing. But suddenly he sped up. He had been hodling back as well.

He started landing punches and kicks. This once one sidded battle turned into a fair fight.

He kicked of the ground hit a tree and kicked off it.

"Iron Reaver Soal Stelaer!" He yelled.

And then befor I knew what was happening I was on the ground. Shattering pain ripping across my middle. I caughed up blood.

I rested for a few seconds then shakely stood.

Fine. If he wants to fight. I'll fight.

My hands grew white. i foucused all my enery in my palms. I made them the shape of needles.

I flew into the air and fired thousands of tiney little white glowing needls at the dog. Most hit there target.

I landed. Smirking. Inuyasha was still standing. Even though my needles were imbedded in his skin. I held my stomache with my left arm and caughed up blood again.

"Keh! You think you can beat me! Baka Neko!"

I wobbled for a second then fell forward. I hit the dirt.
