Inusuki- I lay awake in the pith black of the bedroom. It feels odd, to sleep on a bed that's actually comfortable… My back throbs… I reach over to the bedside table and turn on the lamp. Yellow light banishes the darkness and I stand up from bed. I make my way to the full length mirror on the wall, and pull my shirt up from my stomach. I turn and look at my back. It's still there… The scar of a spider still plagues my back. It's Naraku's symbol for the Kotetsu… Kikyo held my hand, when he carved it into me…

Flashback

"Inusuki, you need to be marked. Or the Kotetsu will not accept you. You will be banished from the gang with a severe beating". Naraku says this without blinking. Inusuki nods and holds her tongue. Kikyo-sama emerges from another room. She's dressed in bright red pants and a white tank-top. Kikyo looks at Inusuki with pity; Inusuki takes it as a different expression. "Kikyo-sama, please stay with me, onee- Chan"? She pleads with the older girl. "Of course I will stay my imouto". The older girl says. The younger sister slides up her tee-shirt, revealing her bare back. Kikyo takes Inusuki's shaking head, as Naraku takes out a knife…

I shake my head from that awful memory. I bend my ears against my head. I can't believe I thought of Kikyo as my onee, or my older sister. Or to think that she much less, that she would sink so low to call me imouto. My gut turns at the meaning, younger sister. I thought of Kikyo as my sister, I truly did. She would have me lay my head in her lap when I was scared, and she would comfort me in her miko way…

Inuyasha could hear her walking around upstairs, and he gasp of shock. It made Inuyasha's ears flatten against his silver hair. He stood up from his bed, and walked out. He made his way up the steps to Inusuki's bedroom. He didn't bother knocking, it was his house. He entered the bedroom to find Inusuki examining a rather large, spider shaped scar…

Inusuki jumped, Inuyasha stared at her back. He recognized the scar on her back; it was the symbol for the Kotetsu. The gang Kikyo left him for. Suddenly Inuyasha pieced it together. Inusuki was a part of the same gang Kikyo was. Inusuki had been with the Naraku Kikyo had left him for. It was like a bucket of ice water had been dumped on Inuyasha. Realization struck him hard. He glared hard at Inusuki. She stared intently. "I want you out of my house now, Kaneko Inusuki"! Inuyasha roared. Inusuki traded back a puzzled look. "Change your clothes and leave. I never want to see your face again"! Before letting Inusuki have a word in, he turned and slammed the door.

Inuyasha watched the silver haired girl, race down the stairs. She was dressed in a way too big of a black hoodie and black loose jeans. Her converse clad feet slapped the last of the hallway as she exited Inuyasha Takahashi's mansion… The reason he kicked her out from his home? For one her scent was ways to alike Kagome's and if she was in league with Naraku and the Kotetsu, they would soon be crawling from the shadows, meaning that Kikyo would once more hold his heart in her evil clutches, and she would make him bleed out his strained love for her, across the marble white stair case of his home.
