'Thought' "speaking" "youki'

Chapter 7

Katsumi was slightly annoyed as she walked on a trail leading to her uncle's place and that was because Inu-yasha and his friends said they were coming with her to see the performance they were doing. So instead of turning into dust and traveling on the wind she was forced to walk with them by foot. The good thing was that no one was talking to but that probably because they saw that she was visible annoyed; her ears were almost flat against her head and the tip of her tail twitched every now then. Katsumi needed a fight for all the fights that she couldn't fight because her youki demanded that she fight soon.

Well she didn't have to wait for long because only half-way through the journey they were attacked. Being trained as well as she was and with her youki singing (a/n: basically she's on a blood high) as it was Katsumi who sensed the danger first. Pulling out her dragon dagger from their sheaths she quickly got into her battle stance. Everyone behind her went on guard too but Katsumi didn't notice them though. Her eyes were turning red as her youki slowly took over.

Tentacle shot up from the ground around her, wrapped around her limbs, and tried to drag her down. Katsumi's youki took her over complete at that moment and she didn't hear the screams for her to run, to escape, no all she could hear was the movements of her attacker. In a blink of an eye she was gone and appeared a good mile away attacking someone.

The person was Naraku but Katsumi didn't care she just wanted blood. She saw the demon's lips move but she didn't hear a single word of what he said nor did she hear Inu-yasha and the others running towards her. When she couldn't break through Naraku's barrier her youki taunted him.

"So you're being a coward by hiding behind a barrier, huh?" her youki spoke to him as Katsumi crouched a few yards away from him. "Why don't you fight me like the powerful hanyou you are? Come on, you don't think I haven't heard of you, do you?"

Naraku just smirked, "Why would I when I can absorb your powerful youki after I kill you?"

"Let's see you try," with that she launched herself towards him but suddenly hit a barrier. She turned to move in a different direction only to find that she was completely surrounded in bubble barrier. "Coward! Dirt trick!"

"I never said I played fair."

"Let her go Naraku!" Inu-yasha yelled as he stopped under them.

"I think not," Naraku told them as he flew higher.

They all suddenly heard chanting followed by beads surrounding Katsumi. Their spiritual energy broke the barrier and surrounds Katsumi in its own barrier to keep her from falling. Then they heard, "Uncle I got her! Get him now!"

As Katsumi was lowered to the ground a Yoko with long orange silver hair jumped over the trees and attacked Naraku with his meteor hammer that was covered in paper wards. The blade broke through Naraku's barrier but he sent his tentacles out to defect the blade. The Yoko pulled back signaling Inu-yasha to attack and he did. Inu-yasha used the Wind Scar but Naraku took off before it could land on him.

"Damn it!" Inu-yasha mumbled angrily.

"Katsumi!" they heard the same voice from before near Katsumi. "Are you alright?"

"Wha? Hiroyuki..." Katsumi said softly from resting in her brothers arms before the state of unconsciousness took her.

"Hang on sis," Hiroyuki told her as he shifted her in his arms.

"Hold it!" Inu-yasha yelled as he pointed the Tetsusaiga at Hiroyuki. "Put her down now!"

"To hand over my sister to you, no way!" he hunched over protectively over his sister.

"Wait Inu-yasha," Sango said as she stepped in front of Inu-yasha placing her Hiraikotsu in front of him. She turned to Hiroyuki, "You said 'sister', right?"

"Yes."

"Then you two must be Katsumi's brother and uncle."

The Yoko with orange silver hair stepped next to Hiroyuki and said, "Actually I'm their cousin but they call me uncle."

"Katsumi told us that she was going to stay with you guys for a while to hid," Kagome told them.

Hiroyuki straightened up and his ears perked before he looked at his sister, "What did you do this time? Come on, we'll take you to our place."


Very short because I ran out of ideas so there!
