"I think Anika needs a break from all of this training. I am going to go border patroling in a couple of days. Anika would you like to come with me?" Inutaisho asked his youngest pup who looked like she was about to leap with excitment.

"Yes papa, I would love to go on a border patrol with you." Anika gushed out in her excitment. For the rest of the day Anika kept pestering her brother what it was like to go on a border patrol and what to expect but as always Sesshomaru's answers were little to non.

"I will tell you one thing though, father will make you fight ten demons at once to test your skill." Sesshomaru smirked at his sisters scared face.

"I don't care if i have to fight 100 demons! I will win!" Anika suddenly mustered up her courage and raised her hed high in pride. Sesshomaru let out a chuckle before disapearing back to the dojo.

"Papa could you possibly let me fight only five demons instead of ten?" Anika slyly asked her father when she had found him in his studies.

"What in kami's name are you talking about?" Touga was very confused by Anika's question.

"Sesshomaru told me that you'll make me fight ten demons to prove my worth." Anika informed her father.

"Tell Sesshomaru that I will make him fight fifty demons without any help from me if he tells you something so outlandish next time." Touga told his pup. Anika started to giggle in her relief that her brother had only been teasing her and that she didn't really have to fight any demons. Anika stalked away to the dojo trying to sneak up on her brother. Fortunatley for her Sesshomaru was too busy trying to perfect a battle pose that he was unaware of his surroundings and Anika was able to easily enter to dojo with little trouble. Getting behind her brother she saw that he held no dangerous weapon in his hands and then took a big leap and landed on his back.

Sesshomaru let out a startled yelp and tried to get Anika off. Anika leapt to the ground laughing really hard rolling on the floor.

"That was not funny Anika what if I was holding a weapon in my hands?" Sesshomaru recovered his composure quickly and was scowling down at his sister.

"But you weren't I checked before I scared you, just in case." Anika was still trying to stifle a giggle at her brother's ruffled aura.

"That's it I am going to show you why messing with the wrong demon just might cost you our life." Sesshomaru transormed and leapt at his sister who quickly took to the air and also transformed. Pretty soon Saber and Fang had joined the impromptu rough housing match. Snarlig playfully Anika held Sesshomaru's ear in her mouth and was tugging on it causing him to keep trying to turn his head in hopes of dislodging her from his back. Rolling on the ground Sesshomaru forced Anika to let go of his ear. Anika then went to attack Fang seeing as how Saber was also keeping Sesshomaru busy.

"I got you now!" Anika laughed at Fang who had been knocked off of his feet with Anika latched onto his ear and tugging on it.

Touga was having some quiet time alone with his pup and mate when he heard the ruckus outside.

"What are they up to now?" Touga got up to look out the window and smiled at the sight he saw.

"Why don't you join them? I'm sure they would love to have someone to unite agianst and try to take down." Izayoi was too smiling at the giant dog-pile atop of Sesshomaru. Quickly making his way to the dojo grounds Toug transformed and soon was in the thick of the rough housing. Playfully snapping at the air Touga was having a great time playing with his pups. Running around like a five year-old pup Touga kept just out of Anikas reach as she chased after him trying to snap at his furry tail.
