Rei watched dully as Kikyo paced back and forward in the clearing they were in. Kouhei bared his fangs as he yawned heavily, resting his head onto his paws as the priestess stopped and tapped her foot in thought. Rei and Kouhei narrowed their eyes to one another and sighed heavily.
Apparently, Rei was either done with her evening chores or just trying to hide from the elder son. Either way, she was spending the rest of her time with Kikyo and Kouhei. No more of putting up with ridiculous tasks everyday.
"Kikyo...that stupid ball is not for another couple of months...calm down," Rei mumbled and sat up straight as she sat next to Kouhei; scratching behind his ear for his satisfaction. Rei was quite surprised when Kikyo told her the youngest brother asked her to an up coming ball their father was holding. Lately, Kikyo has answered to the youngest son by his name and not by his position. Rei shook her head, she did not even feel that close to them to call them by their names; especially that self-centered elder son. The amethyst-eyed priestess grunted at the thought and Kouhei seemed to sense her problem. Nuzzling at her hand, he licked it lightly and purred slowly. Rei smiled slightly at the vibrating noise bouncing from his throat, even though it was sort of weird to hear a wolf purr.
"I do not know what exactly the dancing style or what to wear...I do not even have anything to wear," Kikyo stated to herself and tangled her fingers within the hairs on her head. Feeling arms wrap around her, she to her side to see Rei smiling next to her.
"Kikyo, I'm sure the younger-"
"Inuyasha."
Rei rolled her eyes and continued her statement like she did not hear Kikyo's correction. "-son has everything worked out and planned. He does not seem like the type to have you figure everything out by yourself, but I know I can be wrong."
"Your hatred for men will lead thee nowhere," Kikyo spoke and released herself from the grasp; taking the matter seriously now. After her father left her shortly after her mother's departure from this world, she has been distancing herself from the men in the village and from visitors. At this rate, her priestess friend would never have someone to call her own. "Listen Pyro, with the attitude you have you will never find someone to love. I mean, one nice gentleman accidentally knock you down and what did you do to the poor man? You set his carriage on a terrifying fire with a thrust of your hand. Rei, I-"
"So you love the younger son then?" Rei fought back before Kikyo gave her another speech about her problems. If she disliked men then she disliked men. It was her opinion and she wanted to strictly stick with it. Besides, that so called gentlemen grabbed her bottom...
Kikyo grew red with humiliation and waved her hands in front of her in protest. "No! No! I was just proving a point! Inuyasha and I are just friends, dear Rei!" She quickly turned her head as Kouhei howled in agreement with Rei; his tail sweeping away the debris behind him.
"I think it is agreed then," Rei stated as she sat Kouhei on his feet upon hearing cries of protest.
Everyone quickly quieted down as a loud thunder was heard in the distance. Rei and Kikyo looked alarmed and ready for anything to attack. Rei looked down at Kouhei, surprised to not see him growling heavily and flinching his hair in all directions. Instead, the wolf lied on the ground dully and seemed to paid no mine to the sound of the roaring cries.
"Kouhei? Do you know who is creating this thunder?" Rei questioned the creature as he stood up and headed in the forest. Kikyo blinked in confusion and slightly turned her head to see Rei gleam worry inside her eyes. Blinking again, Kikyo shook her head and retorted back to the castle, Rei followed close behind slowly; checking behind her casually.

"Why did you not come to me and get your orders, girl?" Sesshomaru questioned his servant as she walked in with her friend. Lately, the girl has been slacking off and rudely responding to his calls. He was rather impressed in a way and rather annoyed.
"I will not come crawling like a dog to your very call, elder son," Rei hissed and turned to go to her room, but was stopped when Sesshomaru appeared in front of her; a rather pissed expression on his face. "Did you not hear me?"
"This Sesshomaru can hear you perfectly clear you human waste," the demon said lowly and cold. Kikyo winced to herself as she noted the swift in Rei's aura. Calling her out of her name was not such a good idea. She stepped back a bit as an confused Inuyasha came walking beside her. When Inuyasha followed Kikyo's gaze he saw Rei throw a punch, but Sesshomaru easily caught it. He twisted her arm behind her back and Rei winced in pain, but was not determined to give up.
"This is useless," the elder son stated, but quickly caught her roundhouse kick and twisted her leg, causing her to spin in the air and land roughly onto the ground. Before Sesshomaru could perceive any farther, the fiery female leaped into the air and with a twirl of her hand, a wave of fire soared towards the demon. Holding up two fingers, he lased away the fire with his whip as he pursued after her. As she landed onto the ground, he rapidly stood in front of her and pinned her onto the wall.
"Stop this Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha exclaimed as he ran towards his brother, but was threw back by Sesshomaru's boa.
"If this useless woman wants to fight me, I will gladly accept her pity challenge."
"I am not useless," Rei growled as she gripped onto his wrist with both of her hands, burning the skin of his arm. Sesshomaru quickly dropped her and held onto his wrist. "I rather die before I dare take another order from a demon!"
