Recap: "Shippo, don't throw your crayons at people." Mirkou scolded Shippo. "I thought I taught you better than that!"

"Sorry, he's just being mean to me . . . " Shippo said looking down at the table. Kagome frowned and kicked Inuyasha on the leg.

"Ow, what was that for?" Inuyasha said as he was rubbing his aching leg.

"Inuyasha, act your age and not your shoes size!" Kagome said scoldingly Inuyasha who pouted at being scolded in front of Mirkou.

You can't really expect me to act like that! Inuyasha said through his mind channel with Kagome who shook her head. Good! Cause I don't wanna act like no old geezer!

Mirkou picked up two napkins and stuffed them down Shippo's shirt to make a bib. Shippo waited patiently while Mirkou finished. He then started to color again.

"Mirkou, I don't have a brown crayon." Shippo said. Mirkou smiled and reached down under the table to pick up the crayon off the floor by Inuyasha feet. In doing so, he hit his head under the table.

"Mirkou, are you all right?" Inuyasha asked as Mirkou came up rubbing his head. Mirkou smiled sheepishly.

"I'm all right, but my pride is a little damaged." Mirkou joked. The waiter came and brought their order.

Mirkou put ketchup and mustard on Shippo's burger and took off the onions and pickles. He then stirred up the milkshake.

"There, you're ready to eat Shippo!" Mirkou proclaimed in a happy tone. Shippo then started to tear down his food. Mirkou looked at Inuyasha who ate or rather inhaled just like Shippo. Kagome and he looked at each other than laughed.

"That was good!" Shippo said excitedly. "Where are we going now?"

"How about a movie?" Kagome suggested to everyone.

"In the middle of the day?" Inuyasha stated to Kagome.

You idiot, it is three o's' clock right now, you idiot! Invite him to a movie! Maybe a romantic one . . . sighs . . . I love romance . . . Kagome told Inuyasha through their mind link. Inuyasha wrinkled his nose at the mention of watching a romantic movie, but quickly removed it.

"Yeah, let's go see one." Shippo said. "We haven't been to the movies in a long time Mirkou."

"Fine, Shippo." Mirkou said and they all went to the movie theater. "What are we going to watch? ..."

"How about Scary Movie 4?" Shippo suggested to Mirkou. Mirkou frowned.

"That's not for your age group . . . Hm . . . " Mirkou looked around. "Ah ha! Finding Nemo!"

"That's a movie for babies." Inuyasha complained. Kagome sighed and looked around.

"Ah ha! How about Ringu?" Kagome suggested to everyone.

"Yeah!" Shippo agreed.

"Shippo . . . it's rated R." Mirkou pointed out.

"But . . . "

"How about Shippo and me watch Finding Nemo, and Inuyasha and you watch Ringu?" Kagome suggested and left, pulling Shippo with her, before he had time to answer. Inuyasha blinked and stood watching the door that Kagome went through after she quickly payed for the tickets.

"I guess . . . that we should go watch that movie . . . " Mirkou stated, looking down as he shifted from foot to foot nervously. Inuyasha grabbed Mirkou's left hand. He pulled Mirkou to the ticket line.

"Two tickets to Ringu."

"That'll be 20 (Whatever currency)." The ticket master/person said. Inuyasha paid for them and took them.

"Let's get something to eat." Inuyasha suggested, and they walked to the snack bar.

"Hello, what can I get you?" The cashier asked.

"I'll like one medium popcorn topped with . . . " He trailed off and looked at Mirkou.

"Butter and only a little salt." Mirkou finished.

"And a pack of M & M's and . . ."

"A Snickers bar."

"That'll be 5.50." The cashier ringed up and handed them the items they ordered. "Enjoy the movie."

Inuyasha and Mirkou entered the movies and got a good seat. Not too close to the front, but not too far back . . .

"What's this movie about?" Mirkou asked as previews of other movies were playing.

"Oh, just about some people who watch a certain movie and have only a certain amount of days to live after they do. They get killed by some ghost-like thing. I hear it's really good." Inuyasha explained. Mirkou paled. "Are you all right Mirkou?"

"...Is it really scary . . . " Mirkou asked, sounding slightly afraid to watch the movie. Inuyasha shrugged.

"Only if you believe it." Inuyasha told him. "Besides, I'm right here if you get scared."

"Here?"

"Yeah, I won't let anything happen to you. I never will." Inuyasha stated blushing slightly. "I'll always protect you."

"...I guess I can stand the movie . . . " Mirkou said blushing slightly. "As long as you're here, I just hope I don't have nightmares."

"You won't." Inuyasha said, surprising Mirkou.

"I won't?"

"No, cause . . . I'll watch over you."

"..." Mirkou blushed. A mutter then went through the crowd, telling people to hush as the real movie came on.

"That movie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." Mirkou happily stated to Kagome and Shippo.

"Speak for yourself . . . " Inuyasha mumbled as he rubbed his sore arm. Mirkou had been squeezing it nearly off during the movie's 'startling' scenes. Mirkou looked at Inuyasha apologetically.

"I'm sorry."

"It's all right. I just didn't know that you were a grab-and-screamer." Inuyasha stated. Mirkou blushed slightly, but glared at Inuyasha.

"I didn't scream."

"You're right. You yelled your ass off."

"Inuyasha, Shippo is here!" Kagome and Mirkou scolded at the same time. Shippo smirked at Inuyasha as Kagome popped him in his head.

"Keh . . . " Inuyasha said pouting. All of a sudden, his phone went off. He picked it up and looked at the number to see who was calling. He frowned as he saw who it was. He walked away from the group, who was staring at him and waiting, and answered his cell. "Sesshomaru, what is it?"

"There's an emergency meeting in less than 25 minutes, and I want you and Kagome to attend."

"An emergency meeting?"

"That is what I said."

"What's the meeting about?"

"Werewolves."

"Why do me and Kagome have to attend?"

"Inuyasha, I did not call you to play 20 questions. Come to the meeting or else." click

"Damn him. Hanging up on me like that!" Inuyasha whispered angrily. He sighed.

"Something wrong Inuyasha?" Mirkou asked slightly worried. Inuyasha sighed irritated.

"That was my older brother, he wants me and Kagome home." Inuyasha answered. Kagome frowned.

"Do we have to?" Kagome whined.

"Yeah, you know how he is . . . " Inuyasha stated sighing.

"Fine, I'll go get the car!" Kagome said and left to get their ride. Inuyasha turned to face Mirkou. "It was really fun today."

"Yeah . . . it was . . . " Mirkou agreed, blushing slightly. Shippo snorted.

"Let's do it again . . . " Inuyasha suggested.

"Tomorrow?" Mirkou answered

"Yeah. At . . . " Kagome pulled up with the car and honked the horn.

"Five thirty P.M.." Mirkou answered.

"We'll meet at . . . "

"The park." Mirkou finished.

"When did you start getting Mirkou to finish your sentences?" Shippo asked irritated.

"Cool . . . " Inuyasha said, ignoring Shippo, and gave Mirkou's right cheek a kiss. He ruffled up Shippo's hair.

"Hey!" Shippo complained. Inuyasha smiled at Mirkou one last time, then hopped into his car.

"See yah!" Kagome yelled as they sped off. Mirkou smiled as his blush had deepened. His right hand went up to and gently touch his cheek.

"Mirkou!" Moriko called as Mirkou and Shippo walked through the door. He ran up to them. Mirkou gasped as he saw Moriko's face.

"How did you get a black eye and what happened to your neck?" Mirkou asked.

"It's nothing."

"Nothing? It looks like you were choked!" Shippo exclaimed.

"It doesn't matter!" Moriko snapped at them. "What's more important, is where, were you today?"

"At the mall, why?" Mirkou asked.

"Lord Narku wanted to spend time with you. He's taking a...nap right now, but when he awakes. He wants to have a talk with you." Moriko told Mirkou, who frowned.

"Why should I care about anything that he wants from me? I haven't seen him since I was . . . "

"14. It doesn't matter. You are grounded for the rest of the day!"

"What?" Mirkou frowned. "I'm grounded!"

"That's what I said."

"This isn't fair!"

"You left without telling me, do you think that fair?" Moriko retorted. "Now go!"

"..." Mirkou glared at him and stomped his way up the stairs and to his room. Shippo glared and followed Mirkou. Mirkou sighed.

"Why is Moriko being unfair?" Mirkou asked to himself as he sat on his bed. Shippo climbed up on Mirkou's bed and sat beside him.

"I don't know. Maybe he has a stick or something up his as-"

"Shippo! Don't say that!" Mirkou scolded. "Where did you hear that before?"

"Kagome."

"What?"

"Yeah, she was angry at this guy that wouldn't hurry up and give us our snacks. He was also very rude. So, she said it."

"Well, don't repeat everything you hear. I thought I taught you that." Mirkou stated, then smirked. "Now you must be punished!"

"Wha-" Shippo didn't finish as Mirkou pulled him into his lap and started tickling him. "Stop . . . stop . . . I'm sorry!"

"I don't think so, you still have two minutes of tickling left." Mirkou said as he continued tickling Shippo, who was laughing so hard that he was crying.

"Mirkou . . . please . . . uncle . . . aunt . . . sister . . . brother . . . anyone . . . just stop!" Shippo said through his laughter. Mirkou finally gave him pity and stopped his assault. Shippo struggled to breathe. "My stomach hurts from all the laughing."

"Let this be a lesson to you." Mirkou stated as he placed Shippo besides him on his bed. Shippo yawned sleepily, which made Mirkou smile at how cute he was. Mirkou pulled his fingers through Shippo's hair gently over and over again. "Go to sleep."

"Kay . . . " Shippo whispered as he went to sleep with Mirkou still petting him. Mirkou sighed peacefully.

"He's a cute little kid." A voice from the doorway said. Mirkou turned and saw Narku standing there. Mirkou frowned slightly. "Then again, so is his older brother."

"What do you want?" Mirkou asked, annoyed.

"You." Narku stated. Mirkou stopped petting Shippo and stood up.

"What?"

"It seems that Moriko failed to tell you why I'm here and what it has to do with you." Narku said frowning. "He won't be so forgettable now . . . "

"You hurt him!" Mirkou said, his frown deepening.

"I merely grazed him . . . " Narku stated walking up to Mirkou. "I'm afraid that I will have to leave in a little while Mirkou, but I will be back for you as soon as possible."

"What are talking about? I'm not going anywhere with you, am I?" Mirkou asked confused and tried to side step so that he wasn't so close to Narku. Narku blocked his way.

"Yes, you will . . . but in due time. I came for a farewell kiss." Narku said as he bent to kiss Mirkou, surprising Mirkou. He stopped just short of his lips. He frowned and sniffed Mirkou. "You reek of a vampire . . . no not a vampire . . . a half-ling. Who did you meet at the mall?"

"None of your business." Mirkou said and tried pulled away from Narku. Narku growled.

"It does not matter . . . it will soon be of no concern." Narku stated and bent down kissed Mirkou on the lips brutally. Mirkou whimpered and tried to pull away. After what seemed like forever to Mirkou, Narku pulled back. "I'll shall see you later . . . my kirei jude . . . "

Narku walked out of his room and left. Mirkou wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He stomped out his room to Moriko.

"Moriko!" He shouted once he entered and shut the door, to keep from walking up Shippo. Moriko, who was on his bed reading some piece of paper, jumped.

"What do you want? And why are you out of your room?" Moriko asked frowning.

"What does is that bastard Narku talking about?" Mirkou asked furiously.

"You will not refer to Lord Narku like that!" Moriko said standing up. "And if you wish to know sit down and I shall tell you."

Mirkou glared at Moriko, but complied.

"Well..."

"You are Lord Narku's chosen."

"What's a chosen?"

"Nakama."

"What? I can't be his mate!" Mirkou exclaimed while shaking his head. "I don't even know him. I only meet him when I was..."

"14. And you're wrong."

"Wrong?"

"Lord Narku has had his eyes on you since you were born."

"What? EW! That's disgusting! He's a pedophile!"

"Will you shut and stop interrupting me!" Moriko snapped. Mirkou sat back and glared, but remained silent. "He's sense some kind of power in you. You see your real parents were very powerful...people...cough. And when they had you, you also were born with powers. Your powers lay dormant right now, and Lord Narku believes that who ever cough mates cough with you will unleash that power and possibly give it to your mate."

"Me powers...? From parents...? What happened to my real parents?"

"Your father died from a mysterious illness...your mother raised you until she died giving birth to Shippo."

"I don't remember much about them...But that still doesn't explain anything!"

"Fine ask the question and I shall answer it."

"What are you to my parents?"

"I was there best friend."

"Why isn't there any of there things around?"

"They were destroyed lest they contain some contents of your father's illness."

"What are they, me, Shippo? Are we human?"

"Heavens, no! You are a Necromancer!"

"Necromancer?"

"You are a magical creature...like an elf. Only with out the pale skin and pointy ears."

"What was my father's illness?"

"...he...I can't remember..."

"...Liar..." Mirkou whispered, then asked. "Did...they care about me and Shippo?"

"...You were a surprise for them. I don't think that they meant to have you. I've never seen two more disorientated people then them...And when they finally got settled and use to having you, Shippo was conceived...Talk about Chaos."

"Did they regret having me and Shippo?"

"Yes, I remember one of the last things that your mother sad to me."

"What?"

"Almost every time when I see Mirkou or feel Shippo kicking me from inside, I feel regret. Regret from having Mirkou born and Shippo going to be born..."

"You have to be lying!" Mirkou stated angrily.

"There's no need to. In the attic, in the chest I told you never to go in...there lies your mother's daily journal. Here's the keys. hands Mirkou the keys Go in there and read it."

"So...I will..."

"..."

It stayed silently for awhile, then Mirkou asked.

"Why does Narku want me?"

"For your dormant necromantic powers and to bear a line of powerful children."

"What? I can't bear children!"

"Yes, you can. You're special just like your parents."

"My parents?"

"They were both male."

"..." Mirkou's eyes rolled into his head and he fainted. Thump

"..." Moriko stared at him as he laid on the floor. "Great, if he's hurt or bruised Lord Narku will be angry.

"Calm down!" Sesshomaru yelled, catching everyone's attention for he never raises his voice. "It seems that the werewolves are plotting something, and we need to find out what. I have been monitoring the major werewolf clans and noticed that enemies such as the Galibari and Hemotpeh have united together."

"The Galibari and Hemotpeh!" Someone shouted. "They've hated each other since each other's clan was created!"

"Other clans that have untied with them is the Tusomou and Minorku." Sesshomaru stated.

"They were just having a civil war with each other! Why are they uniting?" Inuyasha said to Kagome, who shrugged her shoulders.

"We have spies there working for us and await the answers. Another reason I believe that something is happening is that Narku is planning on taking a Necromancer for a mate."

"Necromancer..." "They're rare to find." "I pity whoever he chose." Whispers went around the room.

"Why would he want a Necromancer for a mate, Lord Sesshomaru?" Jaken asked.

"They have a great power in them, the mate of them get some of the power." Sesshomaru explained. "Ergo, by mating one Narku will obtain great powers."

"Aren't Necromancers only suppose to mate other Necromancers?" Kagome asked, while frowning slightly. "That is what keeps what little bloodline there is going."

"They are suppose to, however... that does not stop them from marry outsiders or outsiders marry them." Sesshomaru told her. "Once that happens, they are banished from there clan and are no longer consider Necromancers."

"...that's horrible..." Kagome said while shaking her head.

"Do you know who it is?" Myogor asked.

"We have no names as of yet, but we do no that it is in the town of Xinatima (Sen-aw-time-e)" Sesshomaru answered. "As I have said we have spies out there, and once we receive their reports... If they prove my theory that he wants to began a war with us. We will find the Necromancer and either take it or kill it so that he doesn't succeed and obtaining power..."

"Kill..." Kagome whispered sadly.
