AN: ~Hello! Hope everyone is liking this story. Here's the next chapter, Enjoy.

Yuzu's sharp gaze was starting to become dull and chipped. Cancri looked at her with narrowed eyes as he try to remember which color of purple he had use before, but first he had to fix the powder white that hide the skull of a wolf demon. He had found that bones were a better stand point for his puppets than wood. If he were to strengthen the bones with his silk webs, it would add color to their bodies as if they were alive.

He could feel their eyes on him, watching him. He wanted to gorge their eyes out so he didn't have to feel their weight of their stares. Growling lightly, he looked through his bag that he had brought with him. Taking out a brush with fine strands of hair tied at one end, he made sure the hairs were still brittle. Smiling, Cancri looked at the colors that he had laid out when he had sat down in front of Yuzu.

He smiled towards her before taking the paint brush, large bristle and fine hairs, and dipped it into the powder white paint jar.

Tapping the top of the jar twice, Cancri lifted it to the doll's face and with skillful hands, he lightly painting. He dipped the brush back into the jar and tapped it again before touching the brush to the doll's face again. He did this a few times before he settle the brush down and Cancri used his fingers to smooth out and thin out the paint so that it looked more naturel. Smiling at the powder white face before him, Cancri took out another thinner and finer brush.

This brush was smaller and the hairs were silkier and at a finer point. He placed the wooden handle between his lips as he closed the powder white jar before he pulled out the varies shades of purple he had brought with him. Cancri narrowed his eyes in thought as he lift jar after jar to compare color.

Yuzu's gaze didn't change. Cancri smiled in triumph when he found the jar. He opened it carefully and the scent of wild berries slaughtered his senses, Cancri dipped the brush into the jar before lightly tapping the top edge a few times. Once he had no more extra drips, he lifted the brush to the doll's eyes. He started to outline the eyes, the large innocence eyes, before he stroked his brush down and filled the eyes.

Yuzu was one of his older puppets; she didn't have the realistic characteristics like the younger ones. He wished he could change that, but she liked the fact that her master has to repaint her features. He smiled as he remembered his very first puppet, it had looked almost like his dead mother.

Putting the brush down once he finished, Cancri placed it in the jar of water as he waited for the paint to slowly dry. He had to change her skull at one time due to a demon that had crushed it. This skull was stronger, much stronger and it absorbed the paint better than the other one had. He smiled when he picked up the brush from the water, dried it before placing it into a smaller jar of light pale pink paint. He recolored her lips and added a slight color to her cheeks. In his eyes she was a child and forever will be.

"Done." Cancri whispered as he stood and helped Yuzu stand on her feet. It had took him two days to repaint the simply parts of her face. He had some more work to do on the bone structure, but those had to wait until he got home. "Let the paint dry first before you play with the young kit." He saw her nodded as she walked away with the wind swaying her silver locks. He started to pack his things with a sigh.

It has been very long two days. They would make it back to his hut in about in a day if they didn't stop for any breaks. Sighing, by the time they reached his place, it'll be night fall. Looking up towards the blushing sky, Cancri sat down in front of the fire as he watched the girls start to make dinner. Looking back towards Yuzu, Cancri could feel her emotions. It troubles him, the feelings for the kit.

"Everything okay, Cancri?" A voice asked as the owner took a seat next to him. He looked at the female with narrowed eyes. She doesn't have to stick her nose into everything or the things he was thinking about. Besides, what was her name again? Something with a K.

"Kagome." Cancri rasped out, that was her name. Kagome only looked at him, waiting for him to continue. When it became obvious that he wasn't, she left him be and started a conversation with the slayer.

Dazing off into the fire, Cancri lost himself to his thoughts. That date is coming up fast, really fast. Cancri didn't want to remember the heart ache, but it always come back on that date, that hour, that second of the day. His heart would only bleed for them. Shaking from his thoughts, he thanks Yuzu before he slowly starts to eat. Yuzu sits next to him, watching him. Giving him comfort in her own way, like every other puppets he made. They looked after him. Not because he was their master, but because they see him as their father.

~Next morning~

That morning, they left before dawn. The morning dew still stuck to the grass that danced in the wind. Sighing, Cancri walked alongside with Yuzu in front of the group. They would reach his hut by mid-day if they were lucky.

It wasn't until mid-morning when they ran into someone. Cancri only looked at the female that was dressed in a red and white kimono. Her hair was up with feathers pinning it and a fan covered her face. Beside her stood a smaller and younger looking child that held a mirror in front of her. The child stood out more than Yuzu did. The group stood behind him with their weapons ready. He didn't feel any negative feelings coming from either female.

"You are the Black Widow?" The female's words were sharp and echoed on the wind. Lifting his brow, Cancri looked at her in a bored gaze. He is waiting for her to speak more on the subject. The group looked at each other before looking at Cancri in confusion. It was obvious that she wasn't going to speak until he agreed. Sighing as he pulled Yuzu close to himself, he didn't want to chance a fight. Not right now.

"If I am? What about it?" Cancri's voice was carried on the wind. It was light, but it was cold without any emotions. He watched as the smaller one looked between her older sister and the male.

"My master has a request for you." She finally says with a light smile. "In return, you'll get to see the one you've once loved again." Cancri looked at her thinking of all the possibilities, but he stopped on a sharp note. It was impossible to bring back a human being from the dead, no matter how dark the magic is.

"My love one wouldn't want that, he would rather kill me with his own hands. Human or demon can not bring a soul back, it is impossible to do and for those reasons I refuse your offer." Cancri's voice dropped with the temperature. He will not bring him back. Not now and not in the future. The female's eyes narrowed and a growl left her throat, telling him how unpleased she is. He only looked at her with his dull, emotionless eyes daring her to attack. His venom might not be the most poisonous, but his kind is known as the queen of spiders for a reason. Before she could even lift the fan into the air and call on her attack, Cancri was behind her with a blade at her throat.

Yuzu stood in front of the kit as if to protect him of the danger. Cancri growled low and deep as he warned the wind sorceress. He was faster, stronger and more dangerous than her master. The others looked on with widen eyes; they have never seen anyone move that fast. Sesshomaru on the other hand, saw the slight twitch of movement with narrowed eyes. Its ware for a spider demon to move like that, it's like that he has fought in a war once. The way his eyes harden, become sharper told him that might be the case.

Cancri slowly took the blade away from the female's throat and backed away. She ran. He watched her leave with a blood thirsty smile. Next time she'll fall before him. He wanted her silk brown locks. Yuzu was by his side with her arm out. He placed a small web of the hand he held before lifting the kimono's sleeves. He attached the web to the other bone. He strung it through the small holes in the decaying bone before snapping the web and watched as Yuzu twirled her wrist around to make sure it was placed right. Nodding, Cancri turned and started to walk. The group a little further behind than that morning.

~Line Break~

Cancri walked into the area that held a large hut. When he broke the shadows that encased him, he called out. Heads popped out behind trees, windows, and the flap that he calls a door. Yuzu walked up and was encased with strong and welcoming arms.

"Kry." Cancri called out. A female with long raven black hair walked out with a small child in her arms. The child looked to be still half asleep. "I need you to set rooms for our guest while I look over child." She nodded her head and handed the child over to him. Cancri looked down at the half closed eyes with a smile. He turned and before he knew it the child had wiggled out of his arms and was racing towards the demon lord with a large smile and a cry of his name upon her lips.

Cancri looked down at his arms with wide eyes as if the girl just flashed from them. He looked down at the child with a lifted brow in wonder. Looks like she is healed. Kry stood next to and waited for him to look at her.

"Yes?" Cancri asked. He looked off to his side towards Yuzu. She was showing those bird's eyes to the other child of his small family. Kry followed his gazed and sharply narrowed her eyes.

She is nothing more than a child. Why do you let her carry those around?

"Why indeed." Cancri stated with a smile.

Do not joke. You have no humor.

"That's kind a harsh, Kry." Fake tears rolled down his cheeks. The glare he got in return only made him chuckle. "Okay, okay. I'll get them from her and place them away from the children, mother."

He felt a tug on his sleeve as if someone was trying to gain his attention. Cancri's dull green eyes looked down into those wide innocence brown ones. He got to her eye level and asked her what she wanted.

"Kry said that you can make dolls." Rin stated with glee playing across her face. Looking at Kry with raised brows, Cancri thought about. "Could Rin have one?" He looked down in surprise, no one ask for one of his dolls before.

"I do not know, Rin. It is up to Lord Sesshomaru?" Cancri muttered as he thought of a new and safe design for the child. Rin had left him and ran over to her lord and begged for her new toy. Cancri stood up and looked off in the distance. He was going to have to shop for a few items, but he didn't want to leave his guest alone. He felt the strong pull on his sleeve again. "Yes, Rin?"

"Yes." Was Rin's one word answer. He looked startled for a moment before looking into those molten gold eyes. With the smallest and fastest movements, Sesshomaru agreed with what Rin had said. Cancri smiled and nodded his head and pulled the child to sit so they could talk.

Before getting any words out of his mouth, Inuyasha stood before them with a glare. Cancri sighed, truthfully he had forgotten about them. Before the half-breed could open his mouth to start shouting and demanding things, Cancri cut him off with a glare and stood. Kry took Rin inside the hut where it would be safer just in case her master were to lose his temper. She had noticed Yuzu's hand.

"I advise you to not start with me, half breed." Cancri started with venom dropping from each word. The others stood around, ready to defend him. Cancri didn't know if this is how a pack works or if they are just stupid. Why protect someone that is weak.

"Why you." Inuyasha started as he growled. Cancri waited for the damn to break. He couldn't wait to put the breed into place. The Cheshire the Cat like smile that spilt across his lips took them by surprise. Yes he was a spider demon, but they don't know him personally.

"Be careful, Inuyasha." The monk stated. He didn't bother to remember his name. It started with an M, that he knows.

"You should listen to the monk, dog." Cancri whispered. He hated being looked down on, being treated as if he was nothing. He was treated like for most of his childhood. Doesn't help that he had a lunatic after his blood as well. Inuyasha didn't take the hint that both males gave him, instead he pulled out his sword. It became bigger with a hiss and Inuyasha stood ready. Cancri looked at him with lower, dazed eyes as if he was bored of this. His lover would have been so proud of him.

"If you don't sheath your weapon," Cancri growled out. He had no weapon and he didn't want to dance around with this idiot. "I'll make you."

"Try." The half breed taunted. Before either of the two males moved, a sharp commend raced through the air. It had created a fairly large crater and the half breed laid in the middle of it. Cancri looked down at the idiot before his eyes flashed towards the anger filled ones.

"That's enough!" She shouted after she calmed herself, she asked: "How long will this toy for Rin take?" Her smile freaked the spider demon out. It was too sweet for the women, as if the wrong word would set her off. Treading carefully, he spoke.

"A week at most." He didn't take his eyes off the cater. If she had this power, why doesn't she use it more often?

"Okay. Then we will wait." She states as she starts to set camp.

"That won't be necessary," Cancri said as he watched her stop in mid-motion. She looked back at him. "I will not have my guest sleep outside. There are more than enough rooms for all of you. Please use them, Kry should be finish with them." Like magic, Kry and Rin walked towards them. Kry nodded her head towards her master as he turned and left the area. He needed to cool off before he was set off again.

Kry led the small traveling group into the hut and showed them their rooms. She told Rin that Cancri would return before dinner and that she should take it easy. She was still healing from the large cut on her back. Rin nod her head in understanding before she roped Shippo into playing with her. Kry left her guest be with the other children watching them. She had to make a meal for the guest and her master.

It's going to be a long week.

AN: Well that's it for now. Until next time and don't forget to review. Bye, Bye
