Touga's blood beast eyed the keep with possession and hunger. His desired mate was held within the castle locked away from him. His brothers hunted for weaknesses in the barrier. Their beast had also called them to this place and they were determined to enter the castle and obtain the maidens. He had heard of the legendary Higurashi maidens. They would be honored mates and cherished among youkai society. Many had tried to obtain these allusive females but all had failed in the face of their barrier which was a testament to their strength, but the females could not have prepared for three determined Inus answering the call of their chosen mates.

Touga listened for a howl from his youngest brother, Inuyasha. The pup had suffered his first two heats in agony before realizing his blood beast was calling him to the castle. Inuyasha began to rant and rave about psychotic bitches that needed to get a reality check. He was determined to never suffer another heat alone without his chosen mate. And when he finally obtained her, he was going to fuck her until the bitch had a permanent limp to ensure that she would never be able to escape him. Inuyasha knew some of his ferocity stemmed from his fear of rejection. Inuyasha had always been afraid of rejection by his chosen because of his deformity. His puppy ears were height of ridicule in youkai court. He was a full blooded silver Inu and he was worthy of his pedigree. All that mocked him quickly met their grisly end at the edge of his sword. He was a fierce warrior who ran hot through his veins and glowed proudly through his scarlet eyes. He would love his female with all his being and all of his body. 'His bitch had better be ready for the fiercest riding of her life' he snarled.

Touga tossed his head back and howled. The replying howl was mournfully negative. Sesshomaru was hunting for entry on the western portion of the barrier, but it had been futile. The second oldest, he had suffered enough of this unmated torment and simply wanted his mate. The female would have the world at her feet if only she would come to him. He would show her his world of majesty and beauty and worship her body as a wonderland in itself. The torment of being incomplete for centuries had driven him here for decades and now with his brothers at his side, his longing would be filled as he claimed his female.

Touga called his brothers to his side with another howl. They answered his call and stood in formation around him awaiting his orders. Their feral eyes reflected the moonlight giving them a blood red glow as they reverted to primitive Inu communication of snarls and barks.

"We will never obtain them with separated like this. I believe should pool our strengths. Together, we shall conquer their strength." Touga barked.

"Yeh, this ain't gettin us nowhere anyway, just wasting moonlight. I'm ready when you are, brother." Inuyasha growled his agreement.

"Your logic is sound, pack brother. I follow your lead." Sesshomaru shifted into position.

The winds whipped into frenzy as the brothers called upon their power. Drawing upon his pack brothers' strength, Touga shoved their power at the barrier. It quaked, but did not shatter. They poured more into the attack and tried once more. This time the barrier cracked and fell in shower of pink power that fluttered to the earth. The Inus howls of joy echoed through the night drowning out the feminine screams of terror...
