Hello Golden Eyes fans!
Enjoy this new chapter to bring in the New Year!

Talia's POV

The weather was beautiful today in the feudal era. Well it was until the clouds darkened. We all looked up to the sky to see lightning crackling before a lightning bolt was heading towards Shippo. Shippo ran in circles completely freaked out before the lightning met the ground and the young fox demon was able to get out of the way before he got fried.

"What the heck is that?" Inu asked seeing an arrow laced with a message on it.

"A message" I answered my best friend as Shippo went over to the arrow and removed the message from it. He read it before his eyes went wide.

"Hey I got a challenge to a duel here!" he shouted turning to us.

"Who would want to challenge him?" Ballerion inquired looking to me.

We all walked over to Shippo who was still reading the note.

"Is that a challenge to a duel?" Sango asked Shippo. Shippo got all nervous when he realized we were now all behind him.

"You know Raimei Valley isn't that far away from here" Miroku told the fox demon.

"Hey Tal isn't that were the Thunder Brothers used to live?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yep" I answered just as Kagome stated.

"Maybe it's relatives of Hiten and Monten" Kagome suggested.

"Heh they got guts sending a challenge like that" Inu added.

"Hey!" Shippo protested turning to us looking annoyed. "Who said you could read my letter huh?!"

"Don't you think it's strange though?" Kagome continued. "If they wanted revenge they shouldn't be targeting you Shippo, it should be Inuyasha and Talia their after"

"Good point the two of us did kill them" I agreed with Kagome.

"But Inuyasha and Talia are both half demons they figured their not good enough for them"

"What?!" Inuyasha snapped before he hit Shippo hard on the head that made the anime banging sound. A second later another one was heard because I did the same to Inu since he hit Shippo.

"So what are you going to do kid you going to accept Soten's challenge?" I asked Shippo.

"I really have no choice in the matter I've already avenged my father's death so it would only be a matter of time before someone came after me this is my destiny as a brave warrior" Shippo boasted looking proud.

"Heh listen to the brave talker" Inuyasha said.

"Shut up Inu or else I'll use the you-know-what word" I warned my best friend. Inu had a panicked look on his face and he shut his mouth. Kagome, Miroku, and Sango offered to help Shippo while Inuyasha only huffed. Shippo of course politely refused before he turned around and got into a brave stance, well the stance lasted when a bolt of lightning flashed and the fox demon began to shake. Inu shook his head before we all made our way towards Raimei Valley. Once on the outskirts the clouds looked more ominous and lightning flashed every few seconds.

"I can sense a strong demonic aura" Miroku stated as we looked to the valley ahead of us.

Shippo was still shaking because he was scared of the challenge and Kagome was bent down behind him asking if he wanted help. Shippo of course declined her and Inu snuck up behind Shippo and scared him. This earned the hanyou another anime bang and another red welt on his head.

"Inuyasha the next time you torment Shippo again I will definitely use the word or let Kagome say it" I warned.

"Man Tal quit being mean" Inuyasha growled as he nursed his welt. Shippo had fainted due to Inu scaring him. Inuyasha got impatient and he drew out Tetsusaiga's scabbard and got behind Shippo and began to push the scared fox demon forward. Sango quickly changed into demon slayer outfit while the rest of us followed behind. I suddenly heard something large coming from ahead of us and we all looked up to see a boulder rushing down towards us. Immediately Ballerion became his larger form and he got me onto his back while Kirara got Miroku and Sango onto hers and we got out of the way. Inuyasha was quick to get Kagome into his arms and he leapt out of the boulder's path. Shippo on the other hand was freaked out and he was running in circles again.

"Shippo use your fox magic!" I suggested from Ballerion's back. However the fox demon didn't hear me and before the rock could hit him he went downwards on another cliff side the boulder trailing behind him. A second later a pop was heard and Shippo's pink balloon form appeared in the air however a net soon surrounded him.

"Somebody help me!" Shippo cried as he was being carried off by Koryu.

"Oh no Shippo!" Kagome stated.

"Oh man that clutz" Inuyasha added.

"He's done for" Miroku finished.

"ANOTHER COMMENT ABOUT SHIPPO AND I'll KICK BOTH OF YOUR ASSES!" I yelled. Miroku and Inuyasha winced before Ballerion took flight ahead of everyone else.

Shippo's POV

I was brought to the same place where the Thunder Brothers lived. I was in a cage and I hated being confined into small places.

"Hey let me out of here!" I protested. A laugh suddenly got my attention and I turned to see a demon kid that looked exactly like Hiten, I mean the same hair design, same clothes, etc.

"Welcome Shippo"

"I'm not wasting my breath on small fry you who's the leader around here get the leader of the Thunder Demon Tribe right now" I demanded.

"That's me"

My eyes went wide and I turned back to the kid.

"You must be kidding" I said.

"I'm obviously the leader can't you tell?" the thunder demon kid growled. I simply sweat dropped no way this kid was the leader!

"This is so stupid I don't have time to waste on a kid like you"

"Shut up don't you treat me like a child!"

"Oh yeah?" I asked having an idea. I quickly drew out a toy that Talia had gotten for me at a village we passed through; it was a hammer with a ball attached to a string. I began to play with the toy and my kidnapper got interested.

"Well that's a very nice play thing you have there can I play with it?"

"See! I knew you were a kid!" I teased pointing a finger at my captor. My captor got mad and stomped his feet proving he was acting like a child would when they got into a tantrum. Nearby a small red lizard or what appeared to be a dragon was hovering in the air.

"I'm a full fledged demon!"

"So am I give that to me!"

"No way!"

"Give it to me!"

"No way!"

"Their both childish if you ask me" the dragon said. My captor then threw a scroll or whatever it was at the dragon. The dragon whined and he shook his head before gathering the scroll into his tiny claws.

"Move Koryu don't you have things to do!"

"Yes I got things to do"

A Few Minutes Later.

"Let me out I thought you said you wanted to duel with me?!" I shouted. My captor turned out to be Soten, heck who knew he was a kid.

"Don't even bother trying to waste my time Shippo" he said his arms folded across his chest.

"Wasn't it you who sent me this letter?" I asked holding the letter out to him.

"You fool that was only a trap to lure you here" Soten boasted.

"So what do you plan on doing with me?"

Soten opened his eyes.

"I plan on killing you nice and slow" he then started to laugh. "Go ahead and scream the louder the better"

I growled before having another idea.

"Oh I get it your weak"

That got Soten to stop laughing and he looked annoyed.

"That's why you don't want to fight"

"I'll have to admit your honest"

A whole bunch of papers surrounded Soten and the writing looked childish. He spread his arms out.

"But I'm a genius I've come out with brilliant strategies to compensate my size!"

"That's plain dirty you coward!"

"You're the coward looking to your friends for help instead of standing up for yourself!" he shot back now in my face.

"I did not ask them for help they just came along!"

"Save the excuses weakling!"

"I'm not a weakling coward!"

Both Soten and I hurriedly drew a picture of the other.

Soten held up a picture of me crying and pointed at it repeatedly.

"Weakling, Weakling, Weakling, Weakling, Weakling!"

I held a picture of Soten up that made him look mean.

"Coward, Coward, Coward, Coward, Coward!" I did the same pointing motion as Soten did.

Talia's POV

We all thought that finding Shippo would be easier if we split up so while Miroku and Sango went in one direction with Kirara, Inu, Kagome, Ballerion, and I went the other. We were now in the heart of Raimei Valley.

"What are Miroku and Sango doing?" Inuyasha asked rhetorically.

"They sure are taking their time" Kagome added.

I simply kept my mouth shut because what would happen next was really funny. A few seconds later something shot out from behind a boulder and a fake Kagome stood in front of us. The clothes and hair were up to speed, but the face looked like a child's paint job.

"Inuyasha! Sit!" Koryu shouted pointing at Inu. We all stopped in our tracks and Kagome and Inu looked not so amused.

"Sit! Sit Sit!" the fake Kagome shouted with Koryu's voice, the doll moved its hand in a fast manner.

"Hey" Inu said. Suddenly Koryu popped out of the fake Kagome's hair.

"Oh come on! Why doesn't Kagome's work?!" the red dragon whined.

"Don't tell me that's supposed to be me" Kagome growled.

"She's identical!" Koryu argued back.

An anime vein came onto Kagome's head and she yelled.

"She's not identical!"

Inuyasha then walked over and he glared at Koryu.

"I hope you're prepared to meet your maker"

Koryu chuckled nervously.

"Well I should be getting back now"

Inuyasha was quick to grab Koryu.

"You're staying"

"I'd love too" the dragon replied nervously.

Shippo's POV

I was catching my breath as was Soten. The two of us had been arguing for over a half hour.

"I have to admit you brought some interesting writing tools" Soten said eying the many colored pictures that surrounded him.

"These? Kagome gave them to me they're called crayons" I said holding the crayons in my hands.

"Wow I love them give them to me would ya?"

"No way not a chance!"

"Give them to me stingy!"

"Let's see if you let me out of this place I might reconsider"

I then used the crayons to make a quick picture of a rainbow and I then showed it to Soten.

"See isn't this beautiful?"

Soten then began to have another tantrum. I only shook my head. Then I had another idea.

"You know if you let me out we can duel for the crayons if you want" I suggested.

"Oh yeah that's a great idea!" Soten said. He then walked over with a key and began to unlock the door while I only snickered underneath my breath.

Talia's POV

"That's weird a flying snake?" Kagome asked as she eyed Koryu.

"Dragon!" Koryu corrected.

"Don't flatter yourself" Inuyasha growled before he used his fist to hit Koryu on top of the head which made a huge welt appear. "You're the Thunder Demon familiar aren't you?"

"I belong to the honorable dragon clan!" Koryu whined. Inuyasha gave the red dragon another whack on the head and another welt appeared over the other.

"Quit talking big you slimy worm"

"Inuyasha he's a dragon" Ballerion said. "And quit hitting him"

"At least someone knows what I am!" Koryu protested. "What do you think my head is made of anyway?!"

"Shut up!" Inuyasha was about to smack Koryu again when Kagome interrupted.

"Now that's enough hitting Inuyasha quit hurting the thing"

Koryu shot an annoyed look at Kagome before beginning to whine again.

"I don't need your stinking pity I belong to the dragon clan so go ahead and hit me all you want!"

"You know you're pretty brave for a little dragon" Inuyasha said smirking at Koryu. Koryu actually sweat dropped.

"Tell us where Soten is we know Shippo is with him isn't he" I told Koryu.

"At least you give me respect unlike your friend!" Koryu then bit Inuyasha's hand.

Inuyasha growled before he punched Koryu one last time in the head. The red dragon transformed into a cloud and he floated out of Inu's grasp.

"What the hell just happened?!" Inuyasha asked turning to me.

"Hitting him three times turns him into a lightning cloud" I explained. Right on cue Koryu unleashed a wave of lightning arrows. Ballerion quickly took to his larger form and he used his wings to protect me from the arrows. Inuyasha quickly gave Kagome the Robe of the Fire Rat before he leapt into the air with Tetsusaiga in its large form. Inu used his sword to slice through Koryu's cloud but it only regenerated.

"Ballerion!" I shouted.

"On it!" Ballerion then removed his wings from around me and he pushed his tail underneath my feet before throwing me into the air.

Shippo's POV

Soten and I shot our attacks at one another. I used my fox fire while he used his lightning. Both attacks collided and didn't do anything.

"Man you're a lot stronger than I thought"

"Well what do you expect?" Soten taunted.

Talia's POV

Koryu whined when I was above his cloud.

"Sorry little guy but I got to do this"

I then punched Koryu's cloud three times before it disappeared and I grabbed Koryu into my hand before he could fall to the ground.

"Nice work Tal" Inuyasha said as he and Kagome came over. Ballerion reverted to his smaller form and he jumped onto Inu's shoulder.

"Alright Koryu it's time you took us to Soten"

"Awwww man" the little dragon whined.

Shippo's POV

Both Soten and I used more attacks on one another. I had to admit for a kid he knew how to fight well.

"You're good" I told him as my kimono sleeve ripped.

"So are you" Soten replied as some of his armor fell off.

I then turned around and unleashed my smashing top attack while Soten countered with a similar attack. Both attacks collided and were useless. Next I unleashed my Weeping Mushrooms which flew by the dozens towards Soten. Soten did the same with his Laughing Acorns. We threw the acorns and mushrooms at each other until we both were out of energy and we fell onto our backs a lot of mushrooms and acorns behind the other.

"Hey Soten isn't it time you gave up!" I shouted to him.

"Your one to talk which means more to you? Your life or your crayons?!"

Talia's POV

Koryu ended up directing us to where Soten and Shippo were.

"Shippo!" Inu called as we came to a stop at the gate to the Thunder Demon Lair. Soten and Shippo were on the ground on their backs with mushrooms and acorns behind the both of them. Immediately Shippo got to his feet when he heard Inu calling for him.

"Oh you guys are alright!" Shippo shouted as the mushrooms and acorns disappeared.

"Inuyasha?!" Soten yelled giving a panicked look. She then saw I held Koryu who looked pitiful in my grasp.

"Koryu did you fail in your mission?!" Soten shouted.

"Please find some way to forgive me Soten" Koryu begged.

"Hey wait a minute don't tell that kid is" Inu began.

"Yep's this is Soten the one who sent me the challenge"

Inuyasha did an anime fall while Kagome squealed.

"He's adorable!" she then hurried over to Soten.

"Hey what are you doing?!" the thunder demon said as Kagome picked her up.

"That's a good boy"

"Don't treat me like a child I'm the leader of the Thunder Demon Tribe!" Soten protested while Kagome began to stroke her hair.

"You mean to tell me we've been running in a panic because of some little kid"

"I told you guys I didn't need a help!" Shippo stated folding his arms across his chest.

"Such a cute boy!" Kagome said again.

"Don't insult me! I'm not a boy! I'm a girl!" Soten snapped.

Both Inuyasha and Shippo had WTF looks come onto their faces, while Ballerion and I snickered.

"You're a girl?! That's even cuter!" Kagome exclaimed before she began to nuzzle Soten with her cheek. Soten of course began to whine again about her hair.

"A girl that's a girl? This is stupid I'm outta here" Shippo said before he stood up and began to walk away. Soten suddenly saw this and she yelled out to the fox demon.

"Hey wait Shippo! Are you running away from me?!"

Shippo suddenly stopped before he grabbed a box of crayons and threw them towards Soten. The female thunder demon caught them and her face suddenly turned pink due to her blushing.

"Be a good kid and behave yourself and don't even think about vengeance anymore"

Soten blushed even more as I let go of Koryu.

"Sorry about my friend beating you up little guy"

"HEY!" Inu protested glaring at me.

"Thanks for healing my head Lady Talia!" Koryu said, I had used some of Kagome's medicine to disinfect the welts and Koryu now had a small bandage where Inu had hit him, the small dragon gave me an affectionate lick on my cheek before flying back over to Soten who was back on the ground thanks to Kagome. We all then left with Shippo in toll and reunited with Miroku and Sango. Let's just say the two of them got into a similar trap only Kirara had been tricked with catnip, Miroku landed himself and Sango into a hole because Koryu had set up a doll that resembled a woman and of course Miroku's weakness was pretty females. We all decided to take a break in a meadow. Shippo was by himself and Inuyasha noticed this.

"Soten and Shippo are actually considered a couple back in my world" I told Kagome.

"The two of them make a cute pair what is Inuyasha doing?" she asked looking to see Inu had stopped behind Shippo.

"Quit putting on the act!" Inu said before hitting Shippo on the head.

"TALIA! KAGOME! INUYASHA IS PICKING ON ME!" Shippo cried.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted.

"No wait! Tal! Kagome!"

"Sit!" she and I said together. Inu's beads lit up and he fell into the dirt face first.

"Serves him right" Shippo growled.

Later.
Night

I had my eyes closed as I patiently waited for my next move. Sess and I were training with one another again. I listened to the sounds of the wind and the night. Then I heard movement coming behind me at a fast rate of speed and I quickly turned around drawing Valerian just in time to meet with Tokijin's blade. Electricity sparked between the two swords and Sess looked pleased. I then surprised him by quickly using Valerian's handle to stun him in the gut and he fell to his back still clutching Tokijin.

"I win" I stated to my mate as I climbed on top of him.

"This time you have Luna" Sess agreed as he sat himself up. "You did well disarming me"

He then put Tokijin down onto the grass beside us next to Tensaiga. I did the same with Valerian, So'unga rested close to my mate's swords.

"Uh are you uncomfortable?" I asked.

"No Luna you are fine" Sesshomaru reassured me. My kimono was off so I was only in my black tank top and pants; my boots were off making me barefoot. Sesshomaru smirked before he wrapped his one arm around me so I was brought closer to him. He then put his lips where his mating mark was and gently bit into my skin. A growl filled with pleasure and desire escaped my lips as he did this. He then removed his fangs and licked the spot where he had just nipped me.

"Damn it Sess you're not playing fair" I growled.

"Sometimes I won't my beautiful mate" Sess purred before he focused his attention to the right side of my neck. He did the exact same thing and I jumped when his tongue licked my skin in a teasing manner. My claws came out and they latched themselves onto my mate's kimono tightly. I wanted him to kiss me and badly. Sess chuckled before he pushed me beneath him. His lips were on mine and he pushed his tongue into mouth. I held onto his hair as he tasted everywhere inside my mouth before my tongue was one with his. His clawed hand then left my back and traveled down my hip to where my bare ankles were. He then began to pull up the left pants leg up to my thigh. His lips then left mine and they went to my bare thigh. He then kissed his way down my leg in a slow teasing manner.

"Oh hell Sess you're the worst tease" I growled as he used his tongue to lick his way from my ankle back to my thigh.

"Says the female who does the same to me" Sess teased.

"Oh shut up" I growled before Sess kissed my forehead.

Sess only smirked before he pulled my pants leg back down and he then did the same thing with my right leg. He continued to ravish me for another half hour before we both straightened ourselves up and headed back to where the others were.

Hehehe looks like Sesshomaru has a perverted side. XD
