The Reikai-tachi sets out to the Maikai along with Tayketsu. Tayketsu refused to let Keke come along on this mission. He said that she would be anxious and illogical when they would see the son captive. He also reasoned that since it was his fault that Kanji got into this mess in the first place, that he would rescue him and bring him back safely. Keke reluctantly agreed only after Kurama assured her they would bring him back alive.
Kurama noticed Tayketsu was very tense. "I wouldn't recommend you to worry so much, Tayketsu, you get tired, and you'll need your strength to rescue Kanji"
"I can't help it. My son is being held captive by a psycho bitch, which wants revenge on me for what my father did." Tayketsu kicked a pebble that was in his path, out of frustration.
"Do you recognize the girl's name?" Hiei called out to them form his treetop route. Kurama signaled for Hiei to come down so that they may talk without having to shout to each other. With a black blur he landed alongside his koibito. "Hn, well inu do you or not?" Tayketsu slowly shook his head a negative.
"I hardly know anything about my father's past, only what mother told me. Her name means nothing to me" Tayketsu's palm dripped blood, from his nails being dug into his own hand. Yuusake & the moron.I mean Kuwabara noticed their companions where lagging a bit. Then Yuusake notice the blood dripping from Tayketsu's hand, and how he was also biting his own lip.
"Hey Tay calm down we'll find him"
"I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't call me Tay; my name is Tayketsu, not Tay. When my son is within my protective embrace again and the bitch is deceased, then I'll calm."
"But Keke calls you that all the time, what different?" Kuwabara stuttered. Tayketsu just glared.
"Hn, That name is obliviously reserved for people close to him. Like his woman, idiots don't count"
"What was that, shrimp?"

The group walked deeper into the forest close to where Tayketsu said the place would be. They rested for the night near a riverbank. Kurama asked "What is this place where Hitori want us to meet? Does it have any significance to you?"
"It's where my mother and father first meet."
"In the Maikai? How'd she get here? Oh that's right you don't know anything about your parent's past"
"I didn't say that"
"But you told Koenma"
"I only told that overgrown baby what he wanted to hear"
"Hn, so you were playing it dumb then" Hiei said cockily
"Exactly, I don't listen to any authority, not even my full-demon sister, what makes you think I'll listen to his pitiful threats. Reikai jail, Feh, I've seen been through worse"
"You're starting to sound just like Yuusake, and Hiei." Kurama cheerfully mused
"Don't know whither to take it as a complement or an insult"
Kurama smiled "Will you tell us then, the story of you parents past?"
"Why not" Tayketsu sighed and started his tale. "My mother wandered into the Maikai. She told me that she was attacked by demons, and that father had saved her. She had fainted and father had brought her to a cave he was using as a den at the time. When she awoke some time later she was wrapped in furs and father was roasting some meat for her. Father nursed her and tended to her until she was well" Tayketsu smiled. "Mother used to tell me about it like it was a fairytale or something. Of course she would go on and on about how handsome father was and crap like that." Tayketsu smiled wishfully at the memory. "Any way back to the story, they fell for each other and the night before father was to take mother back to the human world. Mother went to father and confessed her love for him, father told mother of his undying love for her. He took mother for his mate that night. He lived with mother until a few weeks after I was born. Then the demons came for the life of mother and I. Father fought them off." Tayketsu leaned back on a rock and scrunched his eyebrows. "I remember he was always protecting us from something. Telling us to stay away from here, and to duck down there. One day I could felt his death, I could sense him die." Tayketsu closed his eyes for a moment the cleared his voice and continued. "From that day forth me and mother traveled from city to city, trying to stay away from danger. Well that is until that day the demons got mother too." Tay's eyes where unfocused he stared directly at the night sky. "I was playing in a nearby forest while mother was in a field full of flowers picking some for the anniversary of father's death. She didn't see the demons' coming until it was already too late." A tear rolled down the dog-demon's solemn face. He stubbornly wiped it away. "I came back and she was barely alive. She told me to keep moving on and to live to be big and strong like my father. Then whispering words to my decreased father, she died. from then on out I was on my own."
"You think Hitori killed might have killed you father and mother as a betrayal of the pack. You know taking a human as a wife and all." Kurama poked at the fire as he spoke.
"No, I killed the demons that took mothers life. I did it as soon I was strong enough. Now writher if she had a part in fathers death I don't know I was too young to remember"
"Hn, makes you wonder"

The group went down for the night quite easily, well Kuwabara, and Yuusake anyway. Tayketsu sat up for a while before he fell into sleep leaning against a rock. Tayketsu's anxious and nervousness about his son wouldn't let the dog-demon a restful slumber. Where is the fire-demon and the fox-in-human- skin, you ask? In the far corner of make-shift camp.enjoying each other.
"I'm worried, koi" Kurama stated while Hiei unbuttoned his shirt a little to get access to Kurama's lovely neck.
"Hn" the fire-demon mumbled from his nipping place on Kurama's neck.
"What if Hitori kills the boy because Tayketsu brought us? I mean don't dog demons fight in packs. Hiei are you listening.Hiei!" Hiei pulled himself off of his beautiful fox to gaze intensely into his emerald green eyes. Hiei did not like being interrupted his play with talk of the baka inu.
"From the looks of it, fox, the female is alone. Her pack most likely kicked her out for something she did."
"Then shouldn't she have a grudge on the pack and not Tayketsu's father."
"Not if his father was the leader of the pack. Then she would have a motitive." Both of the demons looked at Tayketsu's sleeping form. His black demon marking stuck out on his tanned cheeks. And His silver hair looked magical in the moonlight. "With those markings of him and his sister, their father just might have been powerful enough to rule."
"You think so firebaby?"
"It's a great possibility my fox"

Tayketsu was in the middle of a very flowery field. The sunshine shone warmly on his face. His sensitive nose took in all the different type of flowers. His nose picked up something distinct from the other scents; it was somehow familiar to him. He followed the scent, and was amazed it lead him to a woman and a child playing in the fields. 'Why does this seem so familiar to me' "Tay, come here child" Tayketsu ducked low in the grass. 'How. how did she know my name' The child that Tayketsu had observed early ran over to the woman. "Mama, can I go and 'phay in the 'wouds?" "Of course child just be careful"
'Mother! That's my mother sitting there. This must the day mother died' Tayketsu lowered his head to the ground and laid down. He sniffed the ground. 'A demon' Tayketsu raised his head and saw the foul beast. 'Beast from hell you're not going to kill mother this time. Now that I am here you will die.' Tayketsu kept his position downwind of the demon and readied his attack on the demon.
The demon leapt from its hiding spot and ran for his mother. Tayketsu leapt up and ran at it with his flexed claws. "Now you die" Tayketsu yelled. But his claws didn't meet flesh, his hand and then whole body went right through the demon. He watched as the demon tore up his mother, while he could do nothing. As the demon left he watched his younger self come back to his almost dead mother. Tayketsu closed his eyes. "Not again, MOTHER!"
Tayketsu sat up, covered in a cold sweat. He looked around and recognized where he was. 'It was just a dream a terrible dream. It's not a dream that, Kanji, my only son is being held captive by Hitori.'
It was a few hours 'til dawn, his body protested that he needed to go back to sleep and get some well needed rest. His heart on the other hand told him to rouse the others and start their voyage again.
As Tayketsu looked around the camp he saw Yuusake sleeping heavily with a stream of drool running down his chin. Not far from Yuusake heard Kuwabara's snored. Tayketsu flatten his ears against his heard when the appalling noise reached his sensitive ears.
'I'm not going near Kuwabara or Yuusake. The moron's snores will make me go deaf, and the badass's drool will make me fall and break my neck if I happen to slip on it. Feh I'm not that stupid. Now where'd those demons go?' Tayketsu closed his eyes and sniffed the air, knowing that those two wouldn't be two far off, but wouldn't be within the viewing range of the humans. His acute nose picked up their scents. 'Ok their together, Feh figures. What's that other scent with them; could there be another demon nearby?' He sniffed more deeply in their direction. The unmistakable musky scent of sex slightly lingered in the air. "Sex, nah if couldn't be that maybe its just so musky old tree nearby." Tayketsu looked back at the two slumbering humans, considering waking them up first. Then one of Kuwabara's massive snores reached his ears. He immediately flatted his ears against his head again then placed his clawed hands over them. 'Maybe not, I'd be better off if I go wake up Hiei, and Kurama first. Not to mention I'd be saving my poor ears from torture.'
So Tayketsu followed his nose where ever it goes..err I mean Tayketsu followed his nose to where the demons lay. He walked upon their hiding place and found Hiei lying nude on top of a nude Kurama with Hiei's cape being used as a cover. Tayketsu was NOT expecting them both nude. So he tried to quietly back away from the sleeping couple, but to no avail because he wasn't watching where he was going, and fell right into a bush with a yipe. "Ite!!"
Hiei and Kurama woke up with a start. Hiei immediately unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the startled dog-demon.
"God, Hiei, could you at least put some damn clothes on before you attack someone. I really didn't want see that his morning" Tayketsu snapped, while he was trying to get up.
"What are you doing here, inu?" Hiei stated as he resheathed his sword and began to dress. Tayketsu understandably looked away.
"I was trying to wake you up so we could get an early start, but I wasn't expecting you two to be bare ass naked as the day you where born, so I fell in this damn bush." He glared at the bush he fell in then turned to look seriously at the couple. "Why didn't you guys tell me that you where lovers anyway?"
Kurama whom is now fully clothed answered for them. "Well most humans don't like the idea of two guys together as a couple, so we decided to keep it a secret"
Tayketsu had dusted himself off and was currently picking leaves out of his hair. "I have no problem with two guys in love; just don't ask me to join in on it" he laughed "I can see why you didn't tell the ningens they're not too open minded about such things. You should have known that a demon wouldn't care, we have same sex rutting all the time. You of all people should know that, Kurama."
Kurama bowed his head "I know but you never know"
Tayketsu smiled "Well now I know to wake Kuwabara and Yuusake up first; to give you two time to get dressed" Kurama and Tayketsu laugh heartily, while Hiei gave a rare smile and just hned.
After waking up the two humans, they had a hard time doing it too. Hiei kicked Kuwabara to wake him up. After Kuwabara tried to beat Hiei to a pulp, (did I mention he tried not actually succeeding at it) the group finally got going.
The group walked for about five miles 'til they came upon an opening with a cave to the far left. Out of the cave walked Hitori.
"Well, it looks like your really your Mazuko's son; both thickheaded and a wuss. Couldn't handle me yourself, ne bastard hanyou?
Tayketsu flinched at the harsh term. It was true he was a hanyou, a half breed, but he still hated it when they used the term. "Where's my son? I've done as you asked, I'm here, now give him to me!"
Hitori pulled Kanji into view; his face was puffy from crying. "You mean this little pup?"
"Papa, Help me!" The helpless pup cried out.
"Be brave, Kanji, I'll save you; don't worry"
Hitori jumped up with Kanji in her arms. "Ha, what are you going to do when I have him with me? I'll give him back if you really want him so badly, but you have to do something for me in return"
"Don't trust her Tayketsu, she's a demon" Yuusake yelled at the worried father.
"Well so am I. What is it you want, Hitori?"
"It something your father died protecting. Ha, it's ironic how your father died fighting against this promise he made centuries ago."
"What the hell is she talking about, inu?" Hiei spat
"Hell if I know. What are you babbling on about, woman?"
"You whom are noble born don't know the linage of your father?"
"Um no, and what is this about me being noble born?"
"You don't even know what those demon markings on you face mean do you. Your father really was a fool to marry a human. Those marking of yours are traits given to you by you father. Those marking are the one of a very powerful demon. The leader of a pack of dog-demons had to be a powerful one. And his heir must be wed to a powerful female so the strong trait can go on. I was the demoness that was supposed to wed the first son of Mazuko. He did not fulfill his promise to my family, so we killed him. For all out trouble we got kicked out of the pack"
"A bit selfish isn't she" Kurama stated to the others.
"You wanted me as your mate, and when father didn't just hand me over you killed him, NOT a very wise decision on your part, bitch." Tay flexed his claws. He looked over his shoulder at the others and nodded telling them he was ready to go ahead with their plan for them to distract her while he went in for the kill. They all knew Tay wanted to kill her himself and they had no objections to it.
The attack started out by Yuusake using his rei gun to distract her, while Tayketsu went behind her. The group's strategy probably would have worked, but they hadn't counted on one thing, Kanji. He was getting in the way of all their attacks, because Hitori was using him as a shield. They certainly didn't want to harm the boy. They didn't want to think what the angry half-Karona, Keke, would do if they did.
"Damn it let him go you psycho, flea-bitten, mongrel, bitch." Yes, Tayketsu certainly know how to insult another dog-demon.
"You bastard!" Hitori roared "You'll pay for that insult" Hitori took one hand off Kanji for a moment to blast Tayketsu in his chest. Hiei saw this and blurred. Hiei leapt beside the female dog-demon, and took the young pup from her. "What, damn it" Hitori turned to slice Hiei's back with her claws. Before her claws even got near them she stopped suddenly and screamed out in pain. Hitori looked straight into her attacker eyes "You"

Those marking are the one of a very powerful demon. The leader of a pack of dog-demons had to be a powerful one. And his heir must be wed to a powerful female so the strong trait can go on. I was the demoness that was supposed to wed the first son of Mazuko. He did not fulfill his promise to my family, so we killed him. For all out trouble we got kicked out of the pack"
"A bit selfish isn't she" Kurama stated to the others.
"You wanted me as your mate, and when father didn't just hand me over you killed him, NOT a very wise decision on your part, bitch." Tay flexed his claws. He looked over his shoulder at the others and nodded telling them he was ready to go ahead with their plan for them to distract her while he went in for the kill. They all knew Tay wanted to kill her himself and they had no objections to it.
The attack started out by Yuusake using his rei gun to distract her, while Tayketsu went behind her. The group's strategy probably would have worked, but they hadn't counted on one thing, Kanji. He was getting in the way of all their attacks, because Hitori was using him as a shield. They certainly didn't want to harm the boy. They didn't want to think what the angry half-Karona, Keke, would do if they did.
"Damn it let him go you psycho, flea-bitten, mongrel, bitch." Yes, Tayketsu certainly know how to insult another dog-demon.
"You bastard!" Hitori roared "You'll pay for that insult" Hitori took one hand off Kanji for a moment to blast Tayketsu in his chest. Hiei saw this and blurred. Hiei leapt beside the female dog-demon, and took the young pup from her. "What, damn it" Hitori turned to slice Hiei's back with her claws. Before her claws even got near them she stopped suddenly and screamed out in pain. Hitori looked straight into her attacker eyes "You"
Author's Notes: Kiara: ok I knew it took forever, but blame it on my computer. I'm getting a laptop for graduation so no more worries about my stuff getting erased because the computer crashed. Well you know the routine the more reviews the faster the chapters come.
