I Don't own Inuyasha or any other thing I reference that I don't own ;)
...
Touga led Rooster into his sitting room after he had Inuyasha taken to his room to sleep off what ever had been in DJ's dart gun. He wasn't that surprised when Rooster pulled out a bag of some white substance out of his bandana and proceeded to do something he wished he had not been there to see on his coffee table.
"Did you have to do that on my table?" Touga asked with a roll of his gold eyes.
"Oh lighten up old man. You know this stuff doesn't even hit me like a normal human anymore." Rooster said with a chuckle.
Touga sighed and put a hand to his forehead. "So you said you know who Grave is working for?"
"Yep I do indeed. Not that Grave likes him much more than we do. Grave is just a hired gun and this guy pays well when you're on his side. In the underground he goes by The Necromancer. Nasty guy, polite, but nasty. Likes to dabble in dark magic. Kind of guy who doesn't stop at a little power. He wants it all. It s one of the reasons I refuse to join him. I don t like to be bossed around by some guy hiding behind people and just pulling strings." Rooster explained as he leaned back on the couch and propped his feet up on Touga's coffee table.
"This does not sound good. Why would he want Lily?" Touga wondered out loud as he tried to ignore the treatment of his poor coffee table.
"Lily?" Rooster asked lost by the use of the name he had not yet heard.
"My daughter and your 'mark' you came here looking for. Do you not remember?" Touga asked back playfully. "Who's showing signs of being old now?"
"Oh shut up. I just didn't know her name yet. I just knew a mark was here not who they were." Rooster said defensively with an eye roll before standing up.
"Speaking of Lily I think I should go see my newest family member for myself." Rooster said with a mischievous look. "How is she fighting wise?"
Touga looked worried for a moment but answered. "She is fast but untrained in any form of combat. So she can dodge well but not attack back with much. I hope to begin training her in the use of her sword soon."
Rooster rolled his eyes. "What is with you guys and swords? I prefer my hands and none of my people-" He was stopped suddenly by a Ninja 3000 sword passing inches from his nose and stabbing in to the wall near him.
Glancing out in the hallway they watched as DJ gave him the finger then wandered off after a cute maid.
Rooster turned back to Touga. "Correction. 'Most' of my people don't use swords."
Touga on the other hand was staring teary eyed at his wall. "Why does every one want to destroy my house?"
"So which room is she in?" Rooster asked snapping Touga out of his sorrows.
"Oh, upstairs fourth door on the right. I think Kouga is in there with her." Touga said focusing back on the present. "Don't hurt her or my house please."
"Who's Kouga?" Rooster paused in the door way.
"Alpha of the wolves here. Been following Lily around like a puppy. Think he is trying to mate my little girl. I wouldn't complain if he got a few bruises." Touga said mischievously. Hey he may like Kouga but that was still his only daughter he was chasing. He could hear Rooster cackling as he went up the stairs.
Lily had just been finishing up when she felt the same odd sensation again. It was stronger this time. She shivered and glanced around.
"Everything okay?" Kouga asked sitting up on her bed.
"I'm not sure. I had that odd feeling again."
After Lily spoke both were surprised by her door banging open and a large unknown male walked in. Kouga jumped up and stood in front of Lily protectively.
"Who the hell are you?! Leave now!" Kouga said getting in a fighting stance.
"No I don't think I will. I need Lily you see." The tall man said grinning and stepping further in the room. Kouga charged forward.
"You seem stressed maybe you should LAY DOWN!" The large male said as Kouga charged him before pulling back a fist and hitting Kouga square in the jaw and knocking him threw the far wall and into the next room.
"Kouga!" Lily said jumping up and backing away from the dangerous male in her room. The male came closer and got into oddly enough a boxing stance. The grin still in place. Lily got ready to dodge or run when she could, but she was tired from staying up all night. She knew she had little chance against this man if Kouga went down so quick.
She could only think of one thing to say before he got to her. "Please don't destroy my computer. It cost a lot of money and time. I built it myself."
She watched in awe as he looked her computer over for a moment. It sat on the huge oak desk that was in her room. He then picked up the whole thing with one hand and moved it to the other side of the room before approaching her again.
The man threw a punch and Lily dodged quickly. This went on for a while, he would throw a punch and she would dodge. She would throw a punch here or there if she saw an opening but it seemed to do little to him. Then he switched pace and went into a Ninjutsu stance and picked up speed. Lily focused on dodging but was becoming confused.
This man had incapacitated Kouga in one hit. Was he playing with her? Looking in his eyes she could see the amusement and intelligence in his eyes. Who was this man? He was smart she could tell. He wasn't like Grave.
She was pulled out of her concentration when he struck out quicker than before and grabbed one of her pony tails. She stopped in her tracks unsure of what to do.
The man began to laugh. "Touga was right you are pretty quick. Need to learn some boxing I think though." He let go of her hair and walked closer to the door.
"Come on Touga and I are discussing the problem with Grave and his boss. I figure you would want to be included in the discussion about you." He said gesturing for her to go first.
Lily hesitated. "Wait who are you and what about Kouga?" She said looking toward the hole in her wall were Kouga lay.
"Pshh the wolf is fine I just knocked him out. He will be up and angry at me in no time." The man said with another loud chuckle before coming over to her again.
"I'm Rooster. Leader of the Lotus of which you belong." Rooster said poking the partially covered mark on her head. "So come on I'm getting bored standing around. Even if it is with a beautiful girl." Rooster said with a wink as he put his hand on her lower back and led her into the hall.
He stopped before the stairs and glanced down at Lily who was confused and blushing at the hand on her lower back. "Oh and if you want a better computer I would go through this guy. He has some awesome skills." He said pulling out a business card from his pocket before continuing to lead the stunned girl to the Sitting room.
Lily's confusion only raised as they passed a man in a motorcycle helmet and leather chasing a giggling maid down the hall. Something did stick out to her as he passed though. Under the smell of leather she could faintly smell that same odd smell that Grave gave off. That mixture of living and dead that she could not figure out.
After they got to the sitting room she was pushed on to the couch and Rooster plopped down beside her. His size almost bouncing her out of her seat. Looking up she saw her father and Sesshomaru sitting nearby in the other chairs.
Rooster seemed to notice also because his grin grew as he looked over at Sesshomaru. "Well hello puppy. Oh look at this I think I have a toy for you." He then pulled a tennis ball from a pocket and waved it in front of him teasingly.
Sesshomaru glared hard at Rooster. "You must have me confused with my little brother. This Sesshomaru is no puppy." It seemed to have no effect on this odd man.
Rooster continued his taunt unconvinced. "Oh I don't know. I think you do want this toy puppy. Fetch!" Rooster then threw it out a nearby open window.
Unsurprisingly Sesshomaru did not chase it, but to Lily's surprise something grey and wearing torn jeans did chase after the ball outside the window. It ran buy growling and dragging two of the gate guards behind it.
Rooster began to laugh again before Touga asked him a question that briefly stopped his laughter. "Where s Kouga?"
"Oh he is taking a nap and um you might want to get a maid to go clean up Lily's room." Rooster said smiling and rubbing the back of his head.
Touga held his hand to his forehead waiting for the bad news that he could sense coming. "Why is that?"
"Well Kouga may have broken one of your walls...with his body." He began to laugh again as her father began to cry about people trying to break his house.
