As always, I gaarasgirl23, do not and will never own Inuyasha or its' characters. Although I do own Katrina Wolf and this plot. ^_^
Chapter 7
Katrina eyed her hands and double checked her head for the ears, yup, still there. 'Fuck my life' She groaned and felt Kagome back away to give her a wary gaze. "So, are you scared of me now?" There was hint of sadness in her voice. Kagome shook her head and gave Katrina one of her bright smiles.
"Nope, or in case you haven't noticed, I run with a pretty unique crowd myself" Kagome smiled at her friends before she turned back to Katrina who simply gave a nod. "So, you're definitely not in freak out mode over your...new look, why?" Katrina gave her a quizzical glance before looking at the door at yelling "I know you're there, show yourself!"
Ryu walked through the doorway with his kill in hand and a small smile on his face. "Hello, brat. My name is Ryu, a dragon demon. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?" The dragon bowed his head slightly before reaching out his hand to complete his greeting. Katrina eyed him wearily before speaking. "Not sure if I can trust you, mind explaining why you're here dragon demon?" He stared at the girl before setting down the rabbits next to the boiling pot, then sitting down himself. "Brat it is then. First, I really must explain a few things about you...would you like to hear?"
She gave him a blank look before she opened her mouth to answer. "Sure, let's hear it dragon-boy" He shook the name off as mistrust before continuing his explanation. "You obviously are not completely human, and that is because you are only half. With me so far brat?" She nodded signalling for him to go on. "Your other half is demon, what kind, we still have yet to find out until your sixteenth birthday."
Inuyasha looked at Ryu with suspension as he asked "And just how the hell do you know all this?!" Ryu glanced over to Inuyasha. "I was getting there, if you would allow me to speak" He was getting to see how he annoyed the brat so much...such impudence. "As I was saying, we will only discover your demon side on your sixteenth, by then I am to guide you through your transformation safely"
"Ok, that sounds great and all, but I must say your timing sucks. I'm eighteen, and in high school. I'm a wolf, but my human side has a few surprises. I pretty much had two years of practice up till now, I don't need anyone to guide me, I can defend myself." Ryu looked at her with wide eyes and decided to give her appearance a once over. Heart shaped face, white hair that falls over her shoulders with black bangs, yellow eyes, fangs, hourglass shaped figure, toned legs, heated death glare...wait death glare? Uh oh
Ryu quickly looked away and began to look around the hut, anywhere but her. Yup defiantly not a child anymore. 'yeah, trust is definitely gonna be an issue'. Katrina rolled her eyes at Ryu's behavior. Inuyasha scoffed at Katrina's claim of being able to protect herself. "Keh, yeah right, wench! You couldn't even protect yourself from Kagura's blades!" Katrina looked over her shoulder at the hanyou. "Is that a challenge dog-boy?" Inuyasha smirked at her before walking outside the hut. His actions were a silent call to follow him outside. 'He sure is a cocky one ain't he?' She got up and followed only to hear the dragon speak in a warning tone.
"Brat, don't take the bait..." Ryu warned as moved to grab her wrist, only to grab air. Everyone in the hut felt sorry for her. They knew Inuyasha was powerful for a hanyou, but their concern was for their other hanyou friend. Kagome was worried Katrina would get seriously hurt, but pride seemed to be apparent in both their eyes. What could possibly go wrong?...
A/N- OK OK this wasn't what was supposed to happen but I wanted to build up to the moment and give them a reason to fight. Pride...such an evil evil little thing. I didn't want Katrina to be treated as child...but also don't want her to be a 'mary-sue'. I will work out the kinks and see you guys next chappy!
