Chapter 2: The Assassin in the Feudal Era and the Meeting of the Dog Lord

Kagome and Yuzumi paraded around the local camping shop as Yuzumi found a tent. It was made for two, light weight, water proof, and instead of coming apart it folded up. Yuzumi also bought a flash light, umbrella, and several large canteens.

Yuzumi's eyes scanned the store as she spotted a bow. Okay... maybe I could Assassin's Creed this up a bit more, she thought with a grin. "I'll take that bow as well. Where are the arrows?" she asked.

"You hunt?" asked the clerk.

"In a manner of speaking," Yuzumi replied.

"The quiver and arrows are over there," He pointed toward the bow stand.

Yuzumi quickly walked to the bow stand. Ah they have blow darts... okay this just turned to Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Now all I need is a ship full of men and a pirate flag! She took the blow darts with the blow pipe. Then she took the bow with a good fifty arrows before she returned to the clerk. "All of this as well."

"We'll sweetie you have one hell of a hunting trip you're planning on!" He said as he looked over her gear.

"We'll what I'm going to be hunting is very dangerous and shouldn't be underestimated." She informed him as she paid him.

"Yuzumi! Come on! Let's get your food supplies so we can go!" Kagome said as she pulled on her arm.

"I'm coming!" Yuzumi replied.

After food shopping Yuzumi followed Kagome back to her house. "Hey Kagome," Yuzumi said.

"Yeah what is it?" Kagome inquired.

"Who are we traveling with?"

"Well besides Inuyasha and me? Well there's my adopted son Shippo, my best friend Sango the demon slayer with her neko demon Kirara, and last is Miroku he's a monk, but don't let his title fool you that guy is a total lecher!"

"Demon slayer? Could she teach me poisons that will weaken a demon or maybe kill them?" Yuzumi asked thinking of her blow darts and arrows.

"Yeah. She could oh and I can put poison on my arrow and make the more affective!" Kagome cheered then she realized, "Oh right... I don't need poison. I have purifying powers."

"Purifying powers? You mean the ones priestesses are suppose to have?" Yuzumi asked. "Cool!"

"Yeah, and you'll see that soon enough." Kagome said blushing.

"I hope so."

"So all I do is jump?" Yuzumi asked as she sat on the edge of the well with her heavy backpack on her shoulders.

"Yep," Inuyasha replied before she shoved her.

"Ahhhh! Inuyasha I'm going to kill you!" Yuzumi screamed as she fell down the well. She quickly shut her eyes as she waited for the impact. The impact never came. Once she was brave enough she took a peek with her right eye. Yuzumi gasped in shock. Blue and pink lights swirled around her with something that looked like white stars. The sight was breath taking.

"You have come at last," a voice whispered in her ear like some sort of spirit.

"Apparently, who are you?"

"A message," it replied.

"Okay... what's the then message?" Yuzumi asked, "Who is this message from?"

"What would you like to hear first? Who it is from or the message?"

"Let's start with who it is from."

"This message is from your mother, who hoped you'd never have to hear it." It replied softly with a strange sadness.

"My mother, the assassin?"

"Your mother was more than an assassin child," the voice corrected.

"Then what was she?"

"A demon," it replied.

"Demon..." she repeated before she gave a frustrated sigh, "Just tell me the message and I'll ask about the demon thing after that."

"As you wish." the voice whispered before it changed into Yuzumi's mother's voice. "My dearest child if you are hearing this. It means I have fail you and I am dead along with your father. The land that we once ruled is most likely over run with a new leader. Our lands were the Southern Youkai Territory. I was it's Lady and you're father it's Lord. Ryukotsusei killed your father my child to get to me to steal you away. Lord Inu no Taisho sealed him away and saved us, but there was on guarantee the seal would stay so I took you away to the world you know now. Be careful my precious girl. Many will seek you out and try to claim you. I'm sorry you bare this burden my daughter, but please be strong and find your happiness. Your safety and happiness is all I care about. I love you."

"That's it?" she asked.

"Yes,"

"What kind of Demon my mother and my father?" she asked.

"Don't know."

"Damnit!" She yelled. "Is there anything you can tell me that wasn't in the letter?"

"Ryukotsusei has been slain by Inuyasha, son of Inu no Taisho." the voice replied.

"Wait the dumbass I'm traveling with killed my father's murderer?" she demanded.

"Yes,"

"Hmm... I owe that jerk." she said to herself.

"Also, Inu no Taisho is dead."

"How did he die?" she asked.

"The injuries that Ryukotsusei inflicted were grave. He died to save his human wife and Inuyasha."

"That sucks," Yuzumi said sadly. "No wonder he acts like an asshole."

"No wonder indeed. I must go now your friends will worry if we talk to long here." The message said before disappearing.

Yuzumi was about to protest but she saw her scenery change to that of a well. "Huh?" she looked up to she clear skies. "Oh I see," she told herself as she climbed the vines. Soon Yuzumi arrived at the top and scanned the area. Such a peaceful looking forest. "So I'm really here? Wow..."

"Can you stop marveling and move your big ass?!" Inuyasha demanded.

"Shut up! I'm still pissed at you for pushing me in the damnable well!" She yelled at his sensitive ears making him wince.

"That's right! Inuyasha that wasn't nice!" Kagome agreed as Yuzumi crawled out the well.

"Like I care!" Inuyasha replied.

"Get my out of this well!" Kagome ordered.

"Fine!" Inuyasha yelled as he jumped out the well with Kagome in his arms.

As soon as Kagome's feet hit the ground and she was out of Inuyasha's arms she screamed, "SIT!"

"Ugh!" Inuyasha grunted as his face smashed into the ground making a imprint of Inuyasha's crashed form in the ground.

"Kagome!" a woman called.

"Sango! Wait up!" called a man in monk robes, who chased after the woman.

"Kagome's back!" Cheered a boy that had a fluffy tail and from the waist down was that of a fox who was followed by a small two tailed cat.

"Oh... my god!," Yuzumi said scooping up the fox boy into her arms, "You are the cutest kid I've ever seen! You must be the young Shippo!"

"And who are you?" he asked as she gentle hugged him.

"I'm Yuzumi. I'm a demon." she replied.

"Are you MAD?! You smell human!" Shippo yelled.

"That's because my powers doesn't awake for a month." She informed Shippo.

"What kind of demon are you?"

"Don't know. I just found out that I was a demon after all. I'm looking forward to the surprise though!" Yuzumi replied excitedly. "Oh... you probably want you mama." She said realizing her thoughtlessness. "Here Kagome," she gently handed her Shippo with a small smile.

"Kagome is she really a demon?" Shippo asked.

"Yeah... Inuyasha thinks so. A dragon demon said so as well." Kagome confirmed.

"So is she coming with us?" Sango asked curious.

"Yep, I am. Well if everyone is okay with that of course."

"I'm very okay with it," the monk said snaking a hand on her bottom.

Smack! "Lecher! Get your hands off me!" Yuzumi yelled.

"I'm sorry my lady. Forgive my cursed hands." Miroku said with a sheepish smile. The bastard wasn't sorry at all!

"Cursed hands my ass!" She yelled.

"Miroku!" Sango practically growled. "Hiraikotsu!" Yuzumi watched Sango beat Miroku as she yelled something about a cheating, perverted, lecherous monk.

Is it just mean or do these women beatings of their men seem... routine? Yuzumi asked herself as Kagome yelled another sit command. Yes, yes it is!

"Um... shouldn't we be going? We are loosing day light, right?" Yuzumi asked shifted her bag on her back.

"Yuzumi's right we should go," Kagome agreed.

One Week later...

Yuzumi was running... again. Apparently her new found friends thought it was a good idea to use the Parkour girl as bait. She knew she had ran a good three miles and her skills made it earlier to dodge the douche bag chasing her. He was a low level demon according to Sango, but a jewel shard resided in his chest made him almost impossible to kill with him having the consent ability to regenerate. The only way to take out this demon was to cut the jewels shard out of it's heart. "Stop following me, you ugly bastard! It's getting old!"

"When I catch you and I'll rape you, then I'll eat alive!" The demon roared.

"Not if I kill you first!" She yelled back as she dodged another of the demons attacks.

Damn... that one almost hit me! Yuzumi yelled in her mind.

"Out of my way," said a cold and powerful voice.

Yuzumi looked ahead of her to see a vision of white. She nearly didn't dodged the beautiful white creature with stunning gold eyes. "Sorry, kind of acting as bait for this ignorant demon to chase. Give me a moment. I'm tired of acting like bait!" She kicked the demon in the face knocking it on it's back.

She flicked her right wrist and released her hidden blade before she landed on the demon's stomach, "Those guys kept me waiting long enough so you have to die now!" She said before plunging her blade into the demon's heart cutting it out. "Now where is that shard... ha! There you are! Without this you won't be able to regenerate." She hopped off the demon as it turned to ash.

"I'm Yuzumi," she told the beautiful creature before her put her hood down on her white blood stained jacket. Then brushed her hair from her eyes before adding, "and you are?"

"Filthy human! How dare you address Lord Sesshoumaru in such a manner." a green creature screeched so loudly Yuzumi held her ears as she winced.

"Hey we demons have sensitive hearing, you know?!" Yuzumi demanded.

"Your a human why should you care?" the imp asked.

"I never said I was human, toad. I'm a demon. My demonic prowess doesn't appear fully til the full moon on my eighteenth birthday, fool." she informed the beck barring creature.

"What house do you belong to?" asked Sesshoumaru suddenly.

"Don't know," she said. "According to my mother she and my father where the Lord and Lady of the Southern Lands. My father was murderer by Ryukotsusei who was defeated by Lord Inu no Taisho. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you?"

"Inu no Taisho was my father," Sesshoumaru stated his voice cold along with his eyes, but his eyes held a bit of curiously in them.

"So that would make you Lord of the Western Lands." Yuzumi said thoughtful, but her heart quickened as she felt an unfamiliar sensation run through her body as her eyes met Sesshoumaru's. What is this?

"Yes he is so show some respect!" the imp yelled make Yuzumi wince again.

"Damn these sensitive ears," Yuzumi mumbled rubbing her sore ears.

"Jaken, silence," Sesshoumaru ordered mildly agreeing with Yuzumi's mumbles.

"Yes, mi'lord." Jaken complied immediately.

Yuzumi suddenly spotted a small girl around six years old hiding behind Sesshoumaru. Her hair was dark brown and her had large puppy like brown eyes that melted Yuzumi's heart. "Oh hi there little one." She squatted down to be at the child's eye level. "Sorry I didn't see you there. If I did I would of led that demon out of sight before slaying him."

The kid looked to Sesshoumaru for approval which he answered with a small nod. She quickly stepped from behind Sesshoumaru and approached the strange woman.

"My name is Yuzumi. What's yours?"

"Rin," the girl said with a small smile.

"I'm very happy to meet you, Rin." Yuzumi said.

The girl gave a big smile, "Why does your hair and eyes look strange?"

Yuzumi giggled, "That's because I'm a demon. Demons are suppose to have funny hair and eye colors."

"Lord Sesshoumaru has pretty hair it's not funny."

"Odd would been a better term," she agreed giggling. "and yes he has beautiful hair. Gorgeous eyes too." Yuzumi looked at the smirking Sesshoumaru for a moment and gave him a smile before returning her attention to the girl.

"Your eyes are pretty too. I like them." Rin said.

"Thank you, Rin. That's very sweet." Yuzumi smiled at her, "Now I have questions for Sesshoumaru. Do you mind if we continue this conversation later?"

"Okay," she smiled back as she twirled.

Yuzumi's eyes soften at the small girl before she turned back to Sesshoumaru, "Do you know who my father was?"

"His name was Lord Ryu and your mother's was Lady Kaida. Lord Ryu was friends with my father and your mother was the best assassin of her time. The land your parents ruled is guarded by the steward, your cousin Souh who waits for the return of the heir." Sesshoumaru informed her. Why am I helping her? Am I honored bounded to help her? No, but why am I?

"Then you know what type of demon I am." Yuzumi said.

"Yes,"

"Don't tell me. I rather have the surprise." Yuzumi said.

"Very well,"

"Thank you, Sesshoumaru." She said giving him a bright smile.

Sesshoumaru felt his beast stir within him at the smile and he was going to assess it if a little toad kept his mouth shut like his lordship had ordered. "You will address Lord Sesshoumaru by his title!" Jaken yelled with steam coming out of his ears.

Yuzumi winced, "Shut it! Your making my ears throb! And I'm sure it's the same for Sesshoumaru!"

"You stupid wench address his lordship by his TITLE!" Jaken yelled.

Yuzumi yelped in pain her purple eyes suddenly turned red and cat like. She flicked her wrist exposing her hidden blade as she growled, "I told you to shut it, filth, and I believe your master told you to be silent." she lifted her bladed hand near her chest, "Should I flay you for your impedance?" she asked as she grinned sadisticly.

Jaken gulped at the sight before him. Never had he felt such a powerful aura except for that of his master. What is she? Is she really a demon like she claimed to be? Or is this a parlor's trick? Either way those red eyes of her's are a frightening sight to be hold!

She grabbed the imp by the throat and slammed him onto a tree, "I should kill a little filthy thing like you, but if I'm correct you belong to the Inuyoukai. So Sesshoumaru do I have your permission to kill him?" She asked turning to him.

"Mi'lord, save me!" the imp cried in pain making her grip his neck tighten. She was on the verge of breaking his small neck when she realized there was a child present. What am I doing I'm never been this violent! Is this feeling from earlier? No the feeling was toward Sesshoumaru. This one feels like raw anger.

Yuzumi sighed as she dropped him, "Your not worthy of my time. Why do I even bother?" She turned her back to Jaken her eyes slowly turning back to normal. "I have to go... before I loss control of... whatever the hell that was!"

"Your beast broke free," Sesshoumaru stated.

"Beast?" she asked turning to him. Her eyes were wide with curiously and a touch of fear.

Sesshoumaru's beast purred as he saw her purple doe eyes that pleaded for answers. "Every demon has one. It's the most primal part of you."

"That make sense," Yuzumi agreed as she sighed in frustration, "Little by little I turn. I'm worried... I'll turn into a monster." she stared at her left hand that grabbed Jaken by the throat, "May my fears never come to light..." and with that said she walked away. "We'll met again... under what circumstance I know not, but we will meet, Sesshoumaru."
