Haley

That same afternoon Haley and the gang left for their mission.

"Be careful and don't get hurt too badly!" Kaede yelled, waving them off.

"Even Priestess Kaede thinks this demon is dangerous? How unusual," Miroku said.

"I agree. From how the villagers described it, I would have thought that this was a wolf demon from the northern wolf demon tribes. But they said that it wasn't a wolf demon," Sango said.

"I don't care what that thing is. It's going to die no matter what," Inuyasha said.

"I guess so, but it would be nice to know what we are dealing with," Miroku said.

"What do you think, Haley?" Sango asked. All attention went on Haley.

"Uh, well why don't we ask the villagers of this neighboring village about the demon. Then when we go looking for it we will know what to look for," Haley suggested.

"Sounds good to me," Inuyasha said.

"Wow, it's rare for you to agree to a plan that involves asking people anything," Shippou commented. He was sitting on Miroku's shoulder and Kirara was resting on Sango's shoulder. Inuyasha looked back at Shippou and glared at him. Shippou cowered behind Miroku's head.

"I have to agree with Shippou here, it is indeed rare, Inuyasha," Miroku said. Inuyasha hmphed and turned around so no one could see his face.

"Ah shut up! You know even I can agree to plans like that once in a while!" Inuyasha said, slightly annoyed. He started to walk away and the rest of them just stared at him in awe.

"He never verbally agreed to do this kind of plan when Kagome was around," Miroku whispered.

"I agree. You think it has something to do with the fact that Haley is with us now instead of Kagome?" Sango whispered. They looked at Haley.

"Wh-What? I'm sure it has nothing to do with that! Plus I'm not trying to replace her! In fact that's the last thing I want to do!" Haley stuttered.

"We know Haley. It's just that Inuyasha seems to be a lot nicer to you recently than he has with Kagome. That's all," Miroku said.

"Really? Well, I don't why," Haley said.

"Neither do we," Sango said. Miroku sighed.

"Hey! Why are you all so slow? Let's get going!" Inuyasha yelled from far ahead of them.

"Let's get going before he really gets annoyed," Miroku said. Haley and Sango nodded.

Ashley

We arrived at Sesshomaru's castle later that evening.

"Ashley! Lord Sesshomaru! You're home!" Rin yelled. She ran towards us and smiled.

"Hello Rin. It's good to see you so energetic," I said. She widened her smile.

"It's good to see you too!" she said. "Will you play with me now that you are home, Ashley?"

"Of coarse I will. Will you be joining us, Sesshomaru?" I asked.

"No, I have many important matters to attend to. You two go ahead and enjoy yourselves," Sesshomaru said. He dismissed himself and went into the castle.

"It's too bad Lord Sesshomaru can't join us," Rin muttered.

"Yeah, too bad," I agreed.

"Well, let's go! There's a few things that have happened while you were away and I want to show them to you!" Rin said. She grabbed my hand and began to drag me away from the castle and towards our usual flower meadow.

"What could have happened in a few days?" I asked.

"You know that really big tree we always sit by whenever you teach me about your home land? Well, it grew some stuff while you were away!" Rin said excitedly.

"Really? What kind of stuff?" I asked.

"I can't really describe them. But they look like flowers. Some are blue, some look like they are on fire. It's kind of pretty," Rin said. A few minutes later Rin and I arrived at said tree. She was right. On the right side of the tree, the flowers looked like the ones that were grown where I was born. The insides were bright orange and the color spread a little into the petals. The petals where red like the flames of an angry fire. It was very beautiful. On the left side of the tree there were flowers that looked a little familiar. The insides were dark blue and the pollen things looked like they were crystals. The insides of the blue flowers did the same as the red ones. They spread a little into the petals which were a sky blue. Just looking at them gave me the shivers. Then I looked in the middle of the tree. It was the strangest thing. The flowers seemed to morph together. It looked like the flowers were at war with each other. Sometimes the flowers would look more red than blue and vise versa.

"This is strange. Usually this tree has just pink blossoms. What could this mean?" I mumbled to myself.

"What do you mean? You think these colors could mean something other than that they are pretty?" Rin asked. I didn't answer. What was I supposed to tell a 7-year-old?

"Rin, can you do me a favor? Go get Sesshomaru and bring him here. Do whatever you can to get him here as soon as possible," I told Rin. She nodded and ran off. I looked back up at the tree.

"I really hope my gut is wrong. If it's right, then I fear deeply for both my people and my sanity," I muttered to myself.

A while later I felt someone touch my shoulder. I looked to see Sesshomaru standing at my side.

"What is it? Rin told me that you urgently needed to see me," Sesshomaru said.

"Yeah, take a look at this tree," I said, nodding up at the tree in front of us. He looked up and analyzed the tree. After a moment his eyes widened a little, then he looked at me.

"What do you think it could mean?" he asked.

"I think I know, but I hope I am wrong," I said.

"What do you think?" he asked. Suddenly I sensed that we were no longer alone. I peeked at the flower meadow behind me and saw something move amongst the flowers. Whoever this person was, they sucked at hiding for I could clearly see their icy blue eyes piercing my back with their stare, and I could clearly see their back sticking out from the flowers.

"Whoever you are, come out now and state your business. If you do, we might spare you," I shouted. The person tensed up.

"So you sensed them too, huh?" Sesshomaru said. He turned around and faced our unwelcome visitor. "Who are you?" The person smirked and stood up. They had dark blue hair on the top of their head and light blue hair at the bottom. Their hairstyle was a lot like mine except it was blue. However their fashion sense didn't match mine. They wore a sleek, dark blue dress that pointed out their curves. She had icy blue eyes that seemed to be able to turn you into ice if you made eye contact.

"Me? Why don't you two remember?" she asked. Her voice was just as icy as her eyes.

"Sorry, I'm pretty sure I'd remember a whore looking person like you," I said.

"My, my. Why do you say such mean things, Ashley? It hurts me so," she said.

"Just tell us who the hell you are and how you know my name!" I almost yelled. Sesshomaru put a hand on my shoulder to hold me back. There was something about this woman I didn't like at all. I guess you could even say I instinctively hated her.

"Fine, fine. My name is Yuki. Are you satisfied?" Yuki said.

"Yuki, Yuki. Why does that name ring a bell?" I muttered. I tried searching through my memories but came up as blank as I did with any memories containing Sesshomaru.

"Are you possible Princess Yuki of the Frozen Cat Demon lands?" Sesshomaru asked.

"At least someone remembers me," Yuki said.

"How did you know that, Sesshomaru?" I asked.

"She came here a long time ago, a little before your memories were erased. She had threatened you that if we didn't break up then she would declare war on you and the Fire Dog Demon Lands. Fortunately she wasn't the queen at the time so she could no such thing.

"Oh, now I see why I don't remember you. You must have been in some of the memories that monk took away from me when he wiped my memory clean of Sesshomaru," I said.

"Monk? What monk?" Yuki asked.

"Long story. Anyway, why are you here, Princess Yuki? Have you come to make another threat on me and my people?" I asked.

"Actually, yes. I see that despite my warning you two are still together and going strong. Well, that just won't do. Princess Ashley! I have come to tell you that I am now queen of my homeland! Yet I see you are not of your own. How pitiful. If you wish to assist your siblings in defending your homeland, I suggest you do it quickly. For I am now declaring war against the Fire Dog Demon Lands!" Yuki yelled.

"Why would you do this? You have no reason to declare war!" I yelled.

"I have plenty reason! I want Sesshomaru for myself and you won't let him go. So now I will destroy you! Be prepared for the cool of the century, Princess Hothead!" Yuki yelled. She began floating away and laughed.

"What? Princess Hothead? Who does that icicle think she is? IF THAT'S THE WAY IT'S GOING TO BE, THEN YOU BETTER BE PREPARED FOR THE ERUPTION OF A NEW ERA!" I yelled.

"Ashley, chill out and think things through," Sesshomaru warned me.

"Chill out? How can I chill out when that bitch called me a hothead?" I yelled. It looked like he was trying to suppress a smirk. I noticed this and huffed. "Oh shut up." That made him chuckle. I crossed my arms and looked away from Sesshomaru. He then put a finger under my chin and lifted it up so I was looking at him and couldn't look away.

"Calm down," he whispered, looking deep into my eyes. I instantly felt myself calming.

"How am I supposed to do that?" I asked. He smirked.

"I have an idea," he said. He placed an arm on my back and pulled me close to him. He gently placed his lips on mine and showed me a portion of his love. A moment later I returned the kiss and put my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. He put other arm around me and held me tightly. I put a hand into his hair.

I suddenly felt his tongue grace my lips. I smiled and granted him permission to enter. It turned into one of our more heated and passionate kisses. I heard him start to growl and he tossed me down onto the ground.

"Sesshomaru?" I whispered. He laid himself on top of me and I saw a passion that I never saw in his eyes before other than the times when we were in his room and showing our love to each other. I smiled and kissed him and he kissed back.

He made me completely forget about Yuki and her declaring unnecessary war against my people.

Allie

Allie was in complete bliss. She was in the arms of the man she loved with all her heart. He also happened to be her mate now.

"Allie, you do remember what wolves do, right?" Koga whispered against her hair as he patted it.

"Hm?" Allie asked, not paying that much attention. She looked up at Koga and rested her chin on his bare chest. He tilted his chin down so he could see her.

"Wolves mate for life. Did you know that?" he whispered. She smiled and he smiled back.

"Yeah, I knew that. But it sounds very nice when you say it," Allie whispered. She kissed his chest and he rested his head back on his, their, fur bed.

"It feels nice when you do that," he replied. She smiled and kissed his chest again. He then sat up which made her sit up as well. He grabbed the fur blanket and wrapped it around her.

"What's this for?" she asked.

"I don't want anyone coming in and seeing you naked," he explained. Then he leaned in and touched her forehead with his. He looked her in the eyes and placed his hands lovingly on her neck and cheeks. "Only I can." She blushed as they kissed again.

"I only want you seeing me like this. There is no one in this world whom I care more about, Koga," Allie whispered when they parted. He smiled. He put his mouth by her ear.

"Same here." He began to kiss her neck. "I love you."

"I love you too," Allie whispered back, her face getting redder with each second. She placed her hands in his hair.

An outburst from the entrance to the den made Koga stop kissing her. Allie started to turn around to see who was making a noise but Koga kept her facing him.

"What is it, Hakkaku? Can't you see we're busy?" Koga asked.

"Y-Yeah. Sorry about this but there is someone outside who wants to see Allie," Hakkaku said. Allie held the blanket around her as tightly as she could and then turned slightly to face Hakkaku.

"Someone wants to see me?" she asked. Hakkaku looked away and nodded. Then Allie looked at Koga a little worried. He noted her worry and nodded at her.

"Hakkaku. Tell our visitor that Allie and I shall be out there in a moment," Koga instructed.

"Yes sir," Hakkaku said. He left without taking a glance back at Koga and Allie. Koga and Allie stood up.

"Um, Koga? I don't know where my clothes are," Allie muttered.

"I think the wolves took them and are washing them," Koga said. He looked around and picked up random pieces of fur and gently tossed them to Allie. Then he picked up some armor and placed them by Allie as well. "Here, will these be okay for now?" Allie nodded.

"Yeah." Koga nodded and grabbed his own clothes. Allie picked up the fur Koga gave her and tried to fit it around her chest. "Um, I think this is too small." Koga looked at her attempt to dress herself and laughed. Allie narrowed her eyes and put her hands on her hips. "What's so funny?"

"That piece goes around your waist, sweetie. The armor is the thing that goes on your chest," Koga explained. Allie blushed at her slight ignorance. She didn't say anything else as she wrapped the fur around her waist and then grabbed the armor and slid it down to her waist. Once Koga finished changing he walked over to Allie and tugged the fur down just above her hips. "There." He finally said. He stepped back and looked at her, making Allie blush. "Very cute." He nodded.

"Whatever, let's just go," Allie mumbled. She grabbed Koga's hand and quickly walked out of the den.

When they past the waterfall they saw Ginta and Hakkaku standing in front of a woman with dark blue hair on top and light blue hair on the bottom.

"What do you mean I can't go in? What are those two doing in there anyway?" she asked. Her voice was icy and Allie immediately recognized her from one of the times Allie went to visit her cousin.

"Yuki. What are you doing here?" Allie asked.

"Allie?" Hakkaku said. They all looked at Allie, stunned.

"What?" Allie asked.

"Uh, it's nothing. Anyway, you know this woman?" Ginta asked, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, she's the princess of a land who is enemies with my cousin's land. Now I will repeat my question. What are you doing here Yuki?" Allie said.

"What? A girl can't just drop in and visit an old friend?" she asked.

"She could if the two were actually friends. But you aren't my friend so you aren't welcome here," Allie responded.

"You're just as cruel as your hotheaded cousin. Oh well. I'm just here to tell you that if you dare help your cousin in the upcoming war between my lands and your cousin's lands, then you and your precious new tribe will face the consequences. That is all," Yuki said. Then she started floating and flew away quickly.

"That bitch is messing with the wrong family," Allie said, angrily glaring at Yuki's retreating figure.
