took a bit longer to post this, sorry about that. My hand finally healed enough that I was able to type up what I wrote.

Check out the second thing I posted with this, it is an old story Inuyasha use to tell Rena and it will explain her a bit more.

Claws aimed to strike, Rena went for Sesshomaru's throat. Easily dodging Sesshomaru grabbed Rena by the scruff on her neck. "Calm down, we are not hurting him." This seemed to calm Rena down some, but she was still on the defensive. Picking Rena up Sesshomaru deposited her on her bed sighing at the mess she has created. Glancing at Akio, who was staying a good distance away from both and Inuyasha who still growled and shot daggers at Akio; he decided to set this straight.

"Rena, when did you meet Akio?" Sesshomaru asked. Against Sesshomaru's judgement Rin went to the bed and started to stroke her hair to calm her down; he allowed this just barely.

"The day I was attacked when I went to the well," Her voice had even gone demon, "He saved me and let me escape."

Sesshomaru nodded while digesting the new information.

"You said you were able to escape that!" Inuyasha shouted.

Wincing Rena rubbed the back of her head, "I didn't want any of you to worry, I cause enough problems as it is." With her hands she motioned to everything around her.

The red was not leaving her eyes, and her demonic aura seemed to be getting stronger. Though she appeared calm, Sesshomaru was still worried; Inuyasha to dense to notice. He needed to tread carefully or there will be a bloody massacre and most the deaths would be caused by Rena. "I will deal with this later, right now I have guests to see too, seeing as Rena thought it okay to beat one of them up." Sesshomaru grabbed Rin's hand and hauled her up walking her out of the room.

Inuyasha still cast murderous glances Akio's way. "I am watching you wolf pup, this is far from over." Inuyasha left slamming the door shut so hard the walls vibrated.

Akio and Rena were left in an awkward silence neither one know what to say, finally it was Akio who spoke up.

"Well that could have gone better." Smiling lightly Akio sat down on the bed next to Rena.

Laughing shakily Rena nodded sliding her wooden sandals off. "Yes it could have, but I tend to have a flare for drama myself."

Turning to face her on the bed Akio reached up and pulled the comb and orchid out of her hair. "You really do look pretty tonight, but you smell bad." Akio laughed as Rena sniffed herself in confusion.

"Well they put a crap load of sweet smelling lotions on me this morning while they prepared me." Rena said taking another sniff.

"Not in that way, you smell like other men and it is displeasing." Akio said.

"I am sorry, not much I can do about that. I think it melded into me skin" Rena stood up and turned her back to Akio. "Mind helping me out of this?" she asked pointing to the obi belt in the back.

"Sorry not much of help since I never put one on before." Still Akio got up and started tugging and the large quantity of fabric till it fell away.

Folding the fabric and placing it by her bed, Rena squeaked as she felt Akio's arms wrap around her waist from behind.

"Rena." He breathed burying his face in her neck. "When you fell it terrified me for just a second." Pulling her tighter as if she might fall again.

Smiling Rena turned to look at him, "I apologize, I didn't mean to. After beating the guy up I transformed into my half demon form to quickly; my body couldn't compensate for the rush." Giving him a warm smile she stepped out of his arms and went to her changing screen to change into her Pjs for bed.

Akio stayed put giving her privacy and blushed when she came out, "Do you ever wear clothes kitten?" He asked motioning to the red flannel shorts and a blue tank top she was wearing.

"I am wearing clothes, this is normal where I am from. You've seen me naked and you blush about my clothes." Rena laughed as she bound to her bed snuggling up. "You going back to the den?"

Nodding Akio sat beside her, "I might wait for things to cool off a bit before showing up again. I do not need Inuyasha and Sesshomaru trying to murder me kitten."

"Why do you call me kitten? I mean I am a dog demon, not a cat." Rena looked up at him, her eyes slowly turning back to gold again.

"When you taught me how to kiss you purred." Rena blushed at the unexpected heat his words brought.

"I did not." Rena said indigently blushing.

Smirking Akio came into her bubble, making her lay down to put some space between them. "I remember Kitten." He straddled her his noise nuzzling her face, "It has been haunting my dreams since then, so have many other things." He laid a kiss just below her pulse on her neck. "The sounds you made, the way your body fit so nicely against mine...and your scent." As if the words conjured it up, the scent of arousal filled the air.

Rena blushed pushing herself further into her mattress, "Didn't you say you needed to be at the den?"

"I can spend a few minutes here, I mean you still smell and it isn't the oils kitten." His hand traveled down to her calf slowly traveling up her caressed her thigh. "I am also curious to hear what other noises you would make."

Gulping Rena had no time to prepare as Akio grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head. "You cannot touch." Akio looked into Rena's desire-filled eyes waiting for a response. Her tongue came out to wet her dry lips; his eyes following the movement wishing that tongue was on something else of his. After several heartbeats went by Rena nodded and relaxed her grip. That was all the encouragement Akio needed as his mouth descended on hers; branding her. 'You are mine Rena." was what he thought, widening her legs to accommodate his larger frame.

Rena moaned and bucked against his hands, bring her breast up against his chest. She wasn't wearing that weird contraption that covered her breasts so Akio felt her nipples slide against his chest as she struggled out of his grasp.

Releasing her hands Akio pulled back, both breathing heavily. Shifting his hips slightly his erection came in contact with her heated core causing her to moan in both pleasure and pain.

"Shhhh..." Akio said softly his lips brushing against her chin, neck, collarbone till they reached the neckline to her tank top; his gaze pinned on her breasts.

Rena breathed heavily bringing her hands up to hair to tangle in the silky dark threads her claws lightly scratching his scalp. Akio moaned, his hands on her toned stomach, they traveled up till he was cusping the heavy weight of her breasts.

Rena has never been touched this way, yeah sure her friends talked about all there experience and plus there was books and TV, but experiencing the feeling of a mans hands on your body was a whole different experience.

One of Akio's hands reached up and tugged at one beaded nipple rolling it between his fingers, his mouth covered the over through her shirt. It was a widely erotic feeling of the cotton mixed with his hot mouth; Rena had to stifle a moan as pressure built up in her abdomen. His teeth skimmed then lightly bit down before he released her. His mouth switching to her neglected breast giving it the same treatment.

Rena's claws drew down Akio's back creating red streaks. The pressure was building in her stomach she felt like she was about to explode; she tugged at Akio's, trying to bring him up for a heated kiss. After a few moments of tugging Rena was able to draw Akio's lips to her. She couldn't stop kissing him, he tasted wild and yes, she purred in the back of her throat wanting more. Liquid heat was between her thighs and she tried to clench them to find some sort of relief; it was the same feeling she had when she dreamed of Akio.

"Akio..." Rena breathed lightly, asking for something but not sure herself what it was.

Akio looked up, his beautiful green and brown gaze searching hers for what she wanted. His eyes mirroring hers darkened with desire. His hand left her breast and slide down her stomach till he cupped her between her thighs through her shorts; the intimacy of the touch making Rena blush, pushing against his hand.

Akio smirked cockily making Rena have the sudden urge to throttle him, then he pushed the heel of his hand up and Rena's world spun.

Akio watched Rena's face as she came down from her orgasm, the smell of arousal, sex, and their combined scents permitted the air. Shifting Akio took his weight off her and pulled her into his arms as her heart continued to beat erratically. His erection was uncomfortable, but he could live with it.

Rena's gazed locked with Akio as she turned in his arms her hands going down his chest. Catching her intention Akio stopped her, "I can live with being beat up, not murdered." At her confused look Akio laughed and kissed her bruised lips. "Just sleep kitten."

"Will you stay with me a bit longer please?" Her soft voice penetrated the air.

"I will.", and Akio did till he was sure she was fast asleep, then he got up and headed home to deal with some things before he came back.

That morning Rena woke up feeling better than she has in a long time. Her head wasn't pounding and for once her demon side was keeping quiet. A knock sounded at her door and Rena stood up to see who it was.

"Good Morning Rena." Shippo said smiling broadly holding some food in his arms.

Rena gave him a shrewd look, but being hungry she let him in. Sliding the door closed she crossed her arms at him, "What are you doing here Shippo?"

He placed the food tray down, "Just bringing you food, after that party thought it might help." His eyes traveled around the room as if looking for something...

'or someone.' Rena thought to herself. Sighing she grabbed some of the fruit off the tray, "You won't find Akio in here." she said taking a bit of her apple.

"Why would I be looking for that bag of fleas." Shippo turned around angrily. Rena just lifted her eyebrow taking another bit.

"Right we can pretend you are telling the truth when I sprout a tail and ears." Her tail twitched wrapping itself around her arm, " Oh wait I do." Rena laughed at her own joke as she twitched her ears.

"I knew he was hear, I can smell him in this room." Shippo said barely containing his disgust.

"He left last night, he had to go home." Rena told him. "You need to go though, since this is my room and I need to change." Rena motioned to the door waiting for Shippo to leave.

"Can't ignore him for much longer." Getting dressed Rena headed out for the storm that was heading her way.

The door to Sesshomaru's room was open, Rena knock lightly before walking in. Rin smiled at Rena warmly and came up beside her.

"He isn't as angry as you might think." Rin whispered lightly in her ear, patting her arm in encouragement.

Rena took a look at the cold look on Sesshomaru's face, doubting Rin's words. She approached Sesshomaru and kneeled down in front of him her ears pinned down to her head and her tail wrapping itself around her as if to protect her. Inuyasha stepped in his expression improved from last night, but still angry..

"Rena." That was all Sesshomaru had to say to put the fear of her father in her. "I can't forbid you from seeing the boy, but I need to know what are you doing with him."

Surprised Rena looked up, 'he's not angry?' Rena thought. "Isn't it obvious? I like him."

"Are you sure it is not just...desire?" Inuyasha asked, it seemed like Inuyasha had trouble saying that; it was if he was swallowing glass at how hard it was for him to say that.

Rena sighed and rubbed the back of her head, "It is hard to explain, but he calms both my sides down." Letting out the breath she did not know she was holding, Rena looked her father straight in the eye, "When he was hurt both of my sides worked together for once."

"You are a unique case Rena, you do not follow under any laws, human or demon. That being said it is difficult on what we should do to you, but from experience, I am guessing this is significant." Sesshomaru said.

"Of course it is!" Inuyasha exclaimed loudly, he smiled seeming happy with the thought. "I don't like that is it flea bags son, but maybe he does something that we can copy?" He looked over at Sesshomaru, "So we do not have to be so dependent on Akio."

Sesshomaru looked over at his mate and her smiling face thinking and how she is able to tame his demon, turning it into a puppy. "You cannot just 'copy' how he calms her down you mutt." Sesshomaru lectured but still was able to put that sneer at the end.

"Why not?" Inuyasha asked.

Sesshomaru begged for patience, sighing at Inuyasha's stupidity. Before Sesshomaru could answer Rin walked up to Sesshomaru placing her hand on his shoulder.

"It is how you knew Kagome was the one for you," Rin smiled sadly, "No matter how much you both fought it. It's the demon recognizing something we do not understand."

'Kagome, there is that name again.' Rena thought. She looked up at her Uncle and felt for him. The pain that was on his was evident; this Kagome person meant a lot to him because it looked like his heart had just been ripped out.

Inuyasha turned his pain-filled eyes on Rena and walked out of the room; not saying a word.

"I guess I should have kept quiet about Kagome." Rin said as soon as Inuyasha left. She looked down at Sesshomaru and smiled at his shaking head.

"He needs to be reminded about her upon occasion." Sesshomaru justified.

Standing up Rena walked over to her parents, "Who is Kagome? I keep hearing about her."

"From who?" Rin asked her grip tightening on Sesshomaru's arm.

"Well Shippo confused me for her when I first meet him, saying I smelled like her. Kouga said something about her too and her name sounds really familiar to me." Rena explained.

Rin looked like she wanted to talk about it, but kept silent at Sesshomaru's urging. "That is something Inuyasha will tell you one day." An for some reason that didn't seem to bode well for Rena.

Rena was still thinking of those haunting words as she practiced on the dummy outside. She had changed into her workout gear and was practicing her fighting skills on a sparing dummy, needing to let out some stress. Normally just the strength of her would destroy the wood, but Toutosia made a special dummy just for her so that her abilities wouldn't break it.

It was an unusually hot day out today, she was sweating profusely,but she did not mind. Her arms ached, and her head pounded; these familiar feelings she was use too and thrived on, but today something was missing, a dull ache was in her chest.

"I knew I would find you here my lady Rena." Jun came walking up to her. He looked just as perfect as he did the other night, nothing out of place, which in Rena's opinion was pretty creepy. Today he wore a simple kimono the color of coal. "I hope you do not mind me intruding." His eyes landed on her future clothes and he had no reaction. He gave a her a smile, but there was no feeling behind it, nothing, just an empty shell.

'Odd, normally someone mentions it, but he just does not seem to care.' Smiling Rena whipped the sweat off her forehead. "My lord." Rena smiled and bowed. He grabbed her hand ready to kiss it, but at that moment Rena caught the whiff of Akio's scent and pulled her hand back stumbling backwards. She lost her balance about to fall when strong arms wrapped around her waist.

"Fell for me huh?"

Rena looked up into the arrogant smirking face of Akio, smiling widely. Her heart picked up double time, her body effected by his touch. Akio helped her up and cast a shrewd glance Jun's way. "I always find you with more and more guys around you." He said with a bite to his voice.

Straightening up Rena brushed dirt off herself, and wrapped her way-word tail around her before it latched onto Akio. "Let me introduce you both, Akio this is Lord Jun," Rena introduced, staying between them incase something happened. Akio just glanced at him and Jun bowed. 'Such different personalities those two have.'

"I should come back another time my lady, when you are not around such... company." Jun said barely holding the disgust back. His expression was lacking, but behind his eyes was such naked fury that Rena was taken back.

"Watch who you are calling names to pretty boy!" Akio shouted raising his fist as it to punch him. Jun just smirked staying where he was.

"Akio calm down." Rena grabbed his hand in hers and cast a disapproving look at Jun, "can you please leave." The smirk never left Jun's face, but he bowed, turned and walked back into the main house.

"So that is your prince charming huh?" Akio spat taking his arm back. Akio turned his back, tension in every muscle.

Rena turned and looked into the infuriated face of Akio. "Sweet Jesus, no he is not, he is pretty much Shippo the improved version."

"Of all the lords at the party you could have picked you happen to find the only one who matches the description!." Akio yelled.

"What do you expect me to do! He is a Lord I can't exactly tell him to 'Fuck Off' now could I" Rena shouted poking him in the chest. He regarded her with a suspicious look, "Know what Akio, fuck guys and their large egos. I am not dealing with this now." she reach down and grab her water, but Akio grabs her arm pulling her back up. "Stop grabbing me, I am not a ragg-"

Rena couldn't finish her sentence as Akio turned Rena around and looked down at her. Just below the surface, Rena could see the true animal that he was. He might act civilized, if she stretched the word, but he was not.

"This is me Rena, after what we did last night do you expect me to react calmly to other guys around you? I am not sure what it is like where you are from, but here things are different." His voice dropped to an angry whisper, his gaze bore in to hers and she had to insane urge to bare her neck at him, the demon in Rena's head whimpering at the power he excluded.

"It wasn't like he was going to do anything Akio." Rena tried to explain. She dropped her voice down so not to get him angrier.

"You just do not get it!" his grip on Rena's arm tightened, "You think you are invincible, but you are not. He might not be strong in the sense of strength, but he is a cunning." He released her so fast she feel on the ground hard.

Rena just looked at him surprised, "You are mad thinking I will choose a guy like him over you?" Rena took his silence as a yes, she got up. "You are an idiot! If I have to prove it then it is not worth it."

"He looks just like your prince charming! Hell he even acts like it!" Akio exclaimed pointing in the direction that Jun left.

"Can't I change my mind! I thought I wanted a man like him, but I realized I want you!" Rena shouted in anger. As soon as those words left her mouth Rena regretted them. Akio stood there like a statue for several seconds. Rena felt tears burn in the back of her eyes, not wanting to be rejected she ran, bursting through the barrier easily. She did not know where she would go, she just wanted to get away from here.

Wind whipped Rena's hair around, her tears making it stick. Her vision was blurry and it wasn't before long that she tripped over her own tail. Rena got up wiping her eyes off and looking around. The tears came harder as she caught the familiar aura of the sacred tree. Not hesitating Rena climbed up to her branch at the top and curled into a ball her tail wrapping around her to keep her warm.

"Rena!" Akio shouted from the ground.

Rena didn't respond not wanting to see him. Hearing his exaggerated sigh, Rena felt the wind shift and as Akio jumped up, landing light on the branch in front of her.

"Rena." He shifted closer till Rena felt his body heat radiating off him.

His hand reached out to touch her but Rena sunk back further into her arms.

Giving out an exasperated groan; Akio grabbed Rena and placed her in his lap. His hands framed her face forcing her to look her him. "Look at me." He said in a commanding voice.

Slowly Rena turned her eyes to look at him, unable to disobey. His eyes were shining with an unnamed emotion, his mouth turned up into a huge grin. "You are hard to catch Kitten," He wiped the tears from Rena's face, "Though your hiding places are not original."

Rena gave no response to this. She actually did not know where she was going, it seemed her subconscious did though.

"Before I say what I want, I have a question I want to ask you." He moved his arms securing them to wrap around my waist so I wouldn't fall from his lap. Of its own stupid violation my tail wrapped around his waist securing me to him. "I want you to answer me truthfully okay?" At my nod he smiled, "So instead of the Lord with land, money and prestige; you want me? I have nothing besides a pack to take care of and nothing to my name besides what I am wearing."

"And that isn't much." Rena spouted out giggling, he laughed with me nodding, "but yeah, that about sums it up."

The smile on Akio's face was blinding, "Good." He then drew me into a heated kiss filled with so much tenderness. Rena clung to him as he took her breath away.

"You've gotten a lot better with kissing." Rena said breathlessly

"Of course it is me," his hand went up to her hair taking it out of its tie; he tangled his hands in the silky silver strands. "With all that out of the way, I am going to claim you as my mate now."
