Opening the door she found Hope signing papers "Hope that can't be good for your health" Hope looked at her and blinked
"Serenity?" She asked stifling a yawn "No you're too tall to be my baby sister"
"Hope I am Serenity and I'm going to be thirty four so don't call me a baby" Hope got up and Embraced Serenity nearly squeezing the life out of her "H…Hope c…can't br…ea…the" She gasped and Hope let go as soon as she deciphered what Serenity had said. Sango, Kagome, Presea, Raine, Genis, Colette, Zelos, Sheena and Shippo were asleep. When Serenity turned around she sighed at having to carry them up "All right Everybody take someone except for you Miroku you take Zelos" Serenity put Sango onto Kilala, Inuyasha picked up Kagome who had Shippo, Regal took Presea, Kratos took Sheena, Lloyd took Colette, Serenity had Raine, and Hope had Genis. They made their way up the central staircase and to the hall above she pointed to a door "Genis" then kept walking and pointing to doors along each side of the hall up and down "Zelos, Sheena, Colette," then she disappeared into a door where she put Raine in and continued down the hall "Kagome, Sango" She opened the door for Kilala then Shut it and continued on "You guys help yourselves to what's in the closets I'll show you the hot springs tomorrow. Kratos, My room, Inuyasha, Lloyd, Hope, Regal, and Miroku." She walked back towards her room with a dismissive hand "g'night" She walked into her room, closed the door and went to her closet. Looking through her clothes she found nearly everything fit. She decided on a navy blue sleep kimono and put it on. Then she walked onto her balcony that looked out over the wolf caves. "To do list for tomorrow: After breakfast kick Koga's butt" She didn't notice the person behind her. It Was Kratos. She had forgotten that they shared a balcony with the room next door. Or did she?
"Who's Koga?" Serenity jumped because she didn't realize he was behind her then she whirled around
"Kratos What are you doing here?"
"You didn't answer my question who's Koga?" 'What is this strange feeling? Could it be jealousy?'
"Koga's an old friend. Our favorite thing to do was fight. I'd always win."
"Hand to hand or with swords?"
"Hand to hand though I'm better with swords. I remember we fought the day before I left. I stood one foot on his chest and said 'You'll never beat me' it was smiling though so I was trying to get him to train harder" Then she looked at him "You have a sword any good?"
"Very" he said smirking
"Do I sense a challenge?"
"Why you think you can beat me?"
"Oh yeah" They both drew their weapons and lunged at each other. Serenity dodged most of Kratos' attacks though he did manage to cut her across the cheek. She smiled and ran him into the wall holding one sword across his neck. She took the sword from his hand "I win" she said handing the sword back to him then wiped the blood from her cheek. "That was nice though I don't think I'll be able to sleep and it was sweet that you were jealous of Koga but you don't have to be" She walked into her room and slid the door shut. Kratos noted the paintings that sat out. They were dated twenty-four years ago and Serenity's name was etched into the bottom. There were four people; in one three of them had the same wings he had now. One was Serenity. But looking at the faces of the people behind her he realized 'this was painted before her parents died' he then went back into his own room and closed the door.
The next morning
Kratos woke up to find commotion outside his room
"I'm telling you Kratos Isn't Evil" Serenity Exclaimed
"How do you know that?" Lloyd replied
"He's an evil Traitor we've witnessed it" Genis added
"I just know he's not evil. My intuition tells me. If I didn't have it I would be dead…or worse"
"If he's not evil then explain the cut across your cheek?" Zelos pointed out
"He's just not evil. I should know" tears welled up in her eyes and she went back in her room
"Do you think we pushed too hard?" Colette asked, "It seemed like she was crying" Inuyasha who was standing behind Serenity pricked an ear
"Definitely crying I'm surprised she's lasted that long with Naraku" Kratos closed his slightly open door and thought
'She's the only one that defended me willingly' he then walked over to the door that led to the balcony and Saw Serenity standing there black wings appeared and beat a few times she was crying a bit and staring at the painting that she had done before her parents died he walked out bringing his wings out too "It's not the color of a persons wings that makes them evil It's the color of their heart" She twirled around "An old friend told me that before he was corrupted by power. He could skip through time."
"Sounds like a guy I knew once. He wanted me to come with him and become his angel queen along side his sister. I considered his request but had to turn him down. His name was Mithos Yggdrasill. He said he'd come back to ask me again after he ruled" Kratos Stared at her as she tucked in her wings and jumped over the railing and landed lightly on the ground
'So she was his angelic queen Mithos kept talking about' Kratos thought and then heard Serenity mutter
"What he'll rule is beyond me" He tuned and watched her walk to the wolf caves before turning towards his room
Serenity walked to the caves when one of the guards stopped her it was Ginta "what do you want girlie because I haven't seen you here before"
"I'm here to see Koga. I'm…an old friend" He nodded and took her into the cave back to a pile of furs where Koga Sat
"This girl's here to see you Prince Koga" Ginta said bowing and pulling the girl down with him then leaving
"Koga I want to battle you" She said smirking, but keeping her bangs over her eyes
"Fine I'll battle you but if I beat you you've got to go to the fall ball with me after you tell me your name of course"
"If I win you do my bidding until I get bored of you"
"Since that'll never happen fine" he said arrogantly and they walked outside Serenity stood in a fighting stance Koga hadn't seen before but was more like Sheena's. Koga was in his normal stance. She smirked
'You haven't changed a bit Koga' she thought making the first move running straight at him and scanning his movements so she would hit. He turned left attempting to dodge but she countered by going left herself it was Koga's normal move but countering her punch he punched her at the same time. They both hit each other's stomachs knocking the wind out of them. Serenity recovered quicker because she had the power of air. Little did Serenity or Hope know they were the ancestors of the Summon spirits that Sheena had formed pacts with. Serenity stood and walked over to Koga who stared at her before jumping up. Koga shoved her into a tree and pinned her arms there. She struggled but couldn't break free.
"I win girl," Koga said not easing up in the slightest when Serenity noticed her opening
"Don't be so sure Koga" She said kicking him in the stomach and in the process freeing her self she waked over and put a foot on his chest and pushed down gently "You'll never beat me" she said removing her foot and helping him up, then removed the bangs from her eyes.
"Serenity?"
"Miss me Koga?" She said with a light smile "Looks like you're my Servant I knew you thought too highly of your self-thanks to Inuyasha. He's told me all about you trying to claim Kagome without her permission."
"Well… That's true. GINTA!" he called and the afore mentioned wolf demon came running.
"Yes prince Koga" He said running out and bowing
"Do you know who the girl that you treated so roughly before was" Koga asked and Ginta shook his head "Princess Serenity of the castle that allows you to live here and younger sister of Hope. Serenity I leave him to you're punishment I suspect it will be adequate"
"Koga Stay here. Ginta I will make your punishment the same as Koga's. Do my bidding until I'm bored of you both of you escort me into the castle. And Koga NEVER call me princess again." She said as they approached the castle gates "Come Koga I have some tasks for you" She instructed as they walked in to find everyone in the main hall looking utterly confused except for Kratos who was frowning as usual. "Koga apologize to Kagome"
"Kagome I'm sorry for all of the rude, un-necessary things I have put you through"
"That's Okay Koga, we can still be friends though. Okay?"
"Whoa wolf crap, what's wrong with you?"
Serenity sniffed "You guys smell that?"
"Naraku's Miasma" Inuyasha growled after taking a sniff
"I'll go I can handle the Miasma since I've lived in it for years"
"I'm not letting you fight him alone" Koga said
"Us Either Right Inuyasha?" Kagome asked him
"Right" He growled lowly
"Well I'm not going to let you leave me out of the battle you voluptuous hunny" Serenity sighed
"You might as well all come along just don't get killed. Hope Stay Here. This is something I don't want you dragged into. It is too late for me but he doesn't know about you so don't come" She commanded her older sister and walked out the front door with the group in tow. They walked to the forest and into a clearing where Naraku and his poisonous insects were waiting
"Serenity so glad you could come, it's been fun, but now you die" he said charging at her with his tentacles the others ran up and surrounded him chopping off the tentacles. Kratos, Colette, and Serenity brought their wings out for the battle Everyone except for Kratos and Naraku were a bit surprised at her wing color and in that momentary paralysis Naraku took that time to attack Zelos who was charging up for a spell attack Serenity dived pushing him out of the way as the tentacles pushed holed through her wings, one went through her leg, two through her arms, and one went part way through her side. She screamed out of pain and fell limply to the ground Naraku took that moment to escape with his insects. Everyone ran over to Serenity just after he flew away. Raine didn't know strong enough Healing moves so she turned to Zelos and Kratos when Serenity opened her eyes. She tried to sit up but they didn't let her
"No Save your energy" Raine said
"It's Just a scratch" She said through gritted teeth before looking at the pool of crimson that formed around her Kagome Stepped Forward and started bandaging her leg. Even after she was done Serenity kept complaining that she was fine. After Kagome finished she growled, "Whatever I'm going to the tower" She then fused out with the shadows when they got back to the castle They Walked up to Hope and Kratos asked "Where is the tower that Serenity went to?" Hope mentioned for them to follow. She led everyone up a back staircase that led to the roof. When she got them all up there she pointed to the tower nearest Serenity's room "the entrance is here, but nobody's been able to get in, but Serenity" Kratos put his hand on the door and it passed through He walked in "I stand corrected" Hope said slightly startled
