Kagome was desperate for anything that would help her achieve her goal. She wanted to help Shirou more than anything. She felt like Shirou was her sister who needed help and it was her job to help. Shirou was a victim of some unmerciful force that had the mission of ruining her little life.

"There was once a branch of wolf demon family who developed a skill. It was always part of them, but it had never awakened. This power was the ability to see the entire life of someone just by tasting their blood" Kouga told her, staying quiet even though he was sure no one could hear them.

"It was a small branch where only the males were born in the families. They never had female offspring. It was very useful for our clan when it came to interrogations, spies, and traitors. But even so, the ability had to be kept strictly to the wolves, no other leaders could find out, because it was such a powerful weapon if used correctly."

"Unfortunately, the secret was told to the wrong people and eventually every kingdom across the islands knew about the family's power. That was when things started to go downhill" Kouga looked into the fire, not wanting to meet Kagome's eyes, "There were people sent from kingdoms to take our tribe members. A once multi-family branch was dwindled down by capturing them. They were forced to work, tortured if they didn't comply. Eventually, each of them would take their own life and rulers of the kingdom would try to find new people."

Kagome didn't know how to take what she was hearing. People were taken and used until they killed themselves, not being able to take it.

"What each kingdom didn't realize in the beginning is only the males had the ability. When it was discovered the females were not with the ability, they either tortured them to death or left them to starve. With the male's mate being gone, it was only a matter of time. At first, they used their own claws. Then the captors got smarter, and they shackled them. Then they began starving themselves."

"Soon, the last family with the ability had to hide it. No one could know, not even the tribe itself. But eventually, someone found out and people came for them. What everyone knew was that the female would be dead soon, and the male would follow and the line would die. What the captors didn't know was those two demons had two children, a boy and a girl. The girl was a phenomena, never before had a female been born. No one knew it was possible, or if she even had the ability. But they knew the boy did, and he also knew."

"Wanting to keep his sister safe, he ran. He left her by herself and ran away, not wanting her to be captured with him where she would face the same fate as her mother when she didn't know how to use it" Kagome could hear the animosity he had while telling her this story. She had no idea why, but she knew all of this must have a point.

"That was about sixty years ago in human time. Six years in our own" He explained.

"So, we have to find that guy who ran off? Or his sister?" Kagome asked, confused on why he said only one person was left who could help.

"Yes, we have to find the guy who ran. His sister can't help us."

"Why not?" Kagome asked, thoroughly confused.

Kouga sighed before finally looking back at Kagome. "Because the person we are looking for is Shirou's brother, Shinta."


Kouga and Kagome left the cave with their plan formed. No one but the two of them could know, because there was no safe place to speak of it. They would reply on each other along the way to assure that Shirou's extradition was overturned.

It was decided the plan would be prepared for that evening, and acted upon three days from then.

Little did they know that someone was, in fact, watching their entrance and exit of the cave. They knew exactly what that cave was used for. They didn't know what the plan was, but they knew there was one, and that they would have to keep a close eye on the two people plotting behind the tribe's back.


A/N: I'm posting new chapters pretty fast. But seriously this won't last long if I don't get reviews. I'll eventually just lose the motivation to work on it ;-; So, review? Please? Anything?
