Tekeshi climbed out of his car, a single white rose in his hand. Nervously he adjusted his shirt and brushed of his pants. The actions were purely nerves, his cloths were as he made sure they were, perfect. Yet he couldn't stop himself from checking everything again.
He was nervous as hell. Nothing he did seemed to cure the feeling. He didn't even know why he was nervous. This was just Kagome…he knew her, he loved her.
Tekeshi gripped the rose tighter feeling the soft sting as the thorns tried to dig into his tough skin. The slight uncomfortable feeling helped to focused his mind.
He had wanted to buy her the moon and stars…wanted to give her something wonderful and amazing. But Kiyoshi had suggested…since Tekeshi had decided not to reveal himself to her, to go slow. Since Kiyoshi had a slightly better track record with women than he did Tekeshi listened. The single white rose was what Kiyoshi had suggested.
Tekeshi sighed; normally he was not a slow and patient youkai. He would prefer just to pick up where he and Kagome had left off. Unforntunally he also wanted…more.
Tekeshi reminded himself again why he had decided to hide who he really was from Kagome.
The reason was rather simply and very important.
He was no longer just Inuyasha. He was Inuyasha Co-lord of the western lands, and 5 hundred-year-old demon. He was no longer the hanyou she knew in the past.
He wanted her to fall in love with him as he was now. Not as he had been.
That would be hard he was sure. Kagome was very loyal to the Inuyasha of the past. The fact that she was even going on a date with him surprised him slightly. Although Yasashiku had mentioned something about very pushy friends. He suspected they had more to do with it than anyone.
Tekeshi sighed again and double-checked his shields…and the spell that would keep her from recognizing him.
He hadn't wanted to change his
disguise… which looked almost exactly like his old human form. So this was the
next best thing.
Kagome…I'm finally going to see you again. After all these years, I wonder
if anything will be different…or if it'll be just the same. I wonder if you
still smell just as nice as you did back then…as you do in my dreams now.
Tekeshi knocked loudly on the door. He was extremly anxious and had to concentrate on not knocking to hard and putting his fist through the door.
He had to be cool and collective…not like some teenager seeing a pretty face for the first time.
An older woman…Kagome's mother opened the door. She smiled brightly at him.
"You must be Tekeshi, come on in. I'm Kagome's mother."
Tekeshi nodded a bit relieved. Kagome's mother looked exactly like he remembered. The smile was just as warm and inviting.
"Thank you Mrs. Hiroshi."
"Kagome dear…your dates here."
Tekeshi smiled as Kagome walked in.
For a moment time stood still. There was no other way to describe it. His senses, his heart…his very soul stopped, as if to savior this moment.
He stood there staring at the woman he hadn't seen in centuries. The woman he loved with all his heart and soul.
She looked the same. The way she walked, the shape of her face, even her hair…it was the same.
Tekeshi's heart pounded in his heart and he suddenly felt light headed. He took in the beautiful dress she was wearing…and how her hair framed her perfect face.
She's exactly like I remember…Tekeshi took a ragged breath. This was the moment…the moment he had been dreaming of. For a moment Tekeshi was sure he wouldn't be able to contain his happiness and love for her. That he would have to tell her everything.
But then she spoke…
"Have we met before Tekeshi-Kun? You look awfully familiar."
The simple worlds stared a panic in Tekeshi. Luckily long years with his brother had taught him how to kept his face perfectly calm.
"No I don't think so." He said coolly.
Tekeshi checked the spell and was shocked to find it starting to waver. He had known Kagome was powerful but this was amazing. She was much better than he remembered her being. Tekeshi forced some more power into the spell hoping it would hold.
The spell was a small one and never meant to stand up under to the kind of abuse the Miko was giving it.
He sighed relieved when Kagome shook her head. The spell was doing its work and the sense of familiarity faded from her thoughts.
"I'm sorry my bad."
Tekeshi help out his arm and when she took it he handed her the flower. Kagome smiled…a fake smile.
Tekeshi smiled back remembering in fondness that this was exactly how she would smile at Kouga. It told him a lot about what was going through her mind.
However Tekeshi wasn't worried. He was confident in his ability. Him and Kagome were meant to be together. It was written in fate and in the stars. Nothing, not time, or wars…not even the Hunters and their damn laws would keep them apart any more.
He would change her mind and she would fall in love with him.
And after she and his past self did their duties he would marry her and live in happiness.
"Where would you like to go?"
"Oh I don't know."
Tekeshi thought for a moment then smiled. It paid to be rich. He knew the perfect place…it would no doubt impress Kagome that he could get in.
"I know the perfect place."
Tekeshi opened the passenger side door of this car and helped her in. He noticed the way she looked over his car.
"Like the car? It's a 2004 Jaguar, custom built. You can't even buy these yet."
"How did you get it?"
Tekeshi shrugged.
"I have friends."
Kagome didn't say anything to this. She just nodded and put on her seatbelt.
Nervously she fingered the single white rose in her hand. It was a lovely and sweet touch. She couldn't deny that. Not over the top like Hojo seemed to do every time.
And silly as it sounded it almost seemed to speak to her, telling her of things to come.
Things to come? Come on Kagome! You have a boyfriend! You love Inuyasha!Yet…
Kagome sneaked a peek at Tekeshi from the corner of her eye.
What was this strange feeling she got whenever she looked at him. It was strong and made her feel uncomfortable. It was a lot like the feeling she got whenever she was around Inuyasha…but it was stronger and slightly different.
She didn't like it.
She loved Inuyasha…she wasn't supposed to feel like this toward anyone else.
What am I doing? I'm being worse than Miroku! Inuyasha kissed me today and what do I do after I get what I've been dreaming about for months? I go and cheat on him with some guy that I've never meet before!
However she still couldn't make the feeling disappear.
And I know I've seen him somewhere before. When he was in the house the De sa vu feeling nearly knocked me to the floor. I felt like I should know him but I didn't. He didn't even blink at my question. In fact his face became totally blank…there's something weird about that. It was like he didn't want me to know what he was feeling. But what does that mean? Why would he lie and say he doesn't know me if he did?
And why did that familiar feeling go away? It was like poof and I didn't know him. That was really strange.
Kagome looked at the flower.
The feeling that something was going to happen intensified. It made her uncomfortable. She shook her head and looked out the window.
They were already in downtown Tokyo. She hardly ever came to this part of town, way to rich for her blood.
Her mother was well off but it took more than 'well off' to be able shop in these stores.
"So where are we going?"
"Ever heard of the club called Eventia?"
"Who hasn't?"
Kagome answered immediately.
She thought a little trying to remember everything she had heard about the small club/restaurant.
It was as they called it a very elite place. Even movie stars she had heard had trouble getting in. It was very new less than a year old she thought. Yet it had become a legend already.
Now why did Tekeshi ask her if she had heard of it? Surely he didn't mean that they were going? There was no way in hell…right?
"Well…" Said Tekeshi. "I was thinking about hoping over there and see if they have a spot open."
"You've got to be crazy. You just can't hop to Eventia…right?"
Tekeshi gave her a toothy grin and winked.
"We'll see."
Kagome openly stared at him now. She wondered if perhaps he was a little stranger than she first thought. How in the world did he plan on getting into Eventia? Sure he had a nice car…ok he had an awesome car. But so did those famous movie stars…and they couldn't just mosey on it. This was ridiculous.
"We're here."
Kagome looked out her window and saw that indeed they were there. She also saw the line clear out the door. There was no way.
Her door opened and she looked up startled as Tekeshi gave her his hand to help her out. As Kagome put her hand in his, she felt a strange shock. A tingling feeling that spread through her body making her cheeks redden.
Damn girl! She thought angrily at herself. You can't do this! You love Inuyasha. You know you do! So why are you suddenly…feeling things for Tekeshi. You know nothing about him. You've only met him less than a hour ago!
As quickly as possible she removed her hand.
She was hating herself at this moment, and if she had been the type, she would have hated Tekeshi for causing those feelings.
However she was a reasonable girl. She knew that Tekeshi couldn't help the way he was making her feel. It was all her fault.
She was a terrible person.
She watched as Tekeshi handed the keys to a young man.
"Come on Kagome, lets see if they have a spot open."
Kagome sighed and shook her head. This guy had a serious inferiority complex. There was no way he could just walk in and expect to be treated like royalty.
Tekeshi smiled as Kagome reluctantly went along with him.
He didn't blame her for being doubtful. She after all didn't know him or the power he had. A car didn't make a man (youkai) powerful.
However when one owned a club called Eventia…well that tended to give one special privileges.
Tekeshi shouldered his way toward the doors while keeping a firm hand on Kagome. The customers in line were being very loud and angry sounding at him. He wasn't about to lose Kagome in this mob.
He finally got to the front of the line. The two bouncers hearing the commotion made a move to remove him…forcibly if necessary. The twin wolf Youkai's both stopped in their tracks when they saw (and smelled) who was cutting in line. Without a word they stepped back allowing both Tekeshi and Kagome to get by.
They exchanged meaningful looks as they noticed Kagome. She was obviously human, so the looks were slightly confused and unnerved.
Tekeshi noticed the look and gave them a glare that made them gulp. They might be bigger and the bouncers…but neither or even both of them together were a match for the Co-lord of the western lands.
Beside them acting as the doorman was a small weasel of a man…err…youkai.
"Table for two."
Tekeshi said politely.
Pier as he was known didn't look up.
"We are full."
Binjiro one of the twins cleared his throat. Jiro the second twin elbowed the doorman gently when he seemed not to get the hint.
"Err…Pier." Jiro said gently trying to get the weasels attention.
"WHAT!" he snapped his head finally coming out of the book he had been writing in.
Jiro cleared his throat nervously and tilted his head toward the man that he had just wrote off.
Pier followed the look and gasped, his face turning a sickly white.
"Tekeshi-sama!"
Peir gasped breathlessly.
Tekeshi gave the weasel a annoyed look. Before answering…
"Just Tekeshi, Pier you know that."
"Yes sir…I'm sorry. What can I do for you?"
Tekeshi gave him another annoyed look. Jiro seeing this look and fearing for their lives answered for his Lord.
"A table Pier…for two."
"Of course…of course. I am so sorry Tekeshi-sama."
Pier motioned frantically to someone inside the building. A young woman came forward instantly.
"Cindy, take Tekeshi-sama and his guest to table 13."
"Yes sir."
And just like that they were in.
Kagome blinked…then blinked again. She was surely seeing things. Just like Tekeshi said, they were able to walk right in. She didn't understand what was going on. How could someone just walk into this place?
Granted she didn't know a whole lot about Eventia but she had read about it. The papers and some magazines always talked about how elite it was.
Kagome looked around as the waitress took them to their seat. The club was nice. It was trendy looking with a lot of colors and lights, and of course everything looked really expensive.
One part of the club was restaurant bar, and the other part was a dance club. The two sections were separated by a soundproof wall or something. Kagome could see through several large windows people dancing. However she couldn't hear the music at all. Which she knew had to be blaring.
"How?"
She finally asked once they were seated and the waitress left.
Tekeshi shrugged and smiled at his date. He could tell she was impressed.
"Well, when you own a place the employee's tend to treat you good."
"Own?"
Kagome's eyes went wide in surprise. He owned this place??
What kind of person did Hojo hook me up with? This is strange. I'm just a 16-year-old girl. I'm completely normal…well almost normal. But I'm not the kind of girl that dates famous and insanely rich people.
"You seemed surprised?"
"I am. I'm sorry but…"
Kagome left off meaningfully.
Tekeshi didn't look at Kagome as he read over the menu. Of course he already knew what this club served as well as how well the cook cooked it. It was just an excuse not to meet her eyes.
With each word Kagome uttered, with each familiar movement, Tekeshi found himself being pulled harder and harder toward telling her the truth about himself.
"I was tired of dating girls that were just after me for money."
Tekeshi winched internally at the lie, well half lie. It was true he was sick of people kissing his ass because he was rich. However he hadn't dated anyone…not even thought about dating anyone other than Kagome.
"So you thought a blind date would cure that?"
"Ya why not. Yas…Hojo told me a lot about you."
Tekeshi tensed for a second expecting her to ask him who 'Yas' was. However Kagome didn't seem to have picked up the mistake. Or if she did she was remaining politely quiet.
Gods above, why am I so nervous? I know Kagome. Me and her have kissed before.
A slight blush stained his cheeks at that memory.
Why can't I just be like myself around her? I feel so tense and nervous.
"What would you like?"
Inuyasha peek his golden eyes over his menu to look at her. Only the spell that he had casted kept her from recognizing his eyes, or even his face for that matter.
"I don't know…"
Kagome sighed as she looked over her own menu. She just couldn't decide. Tekeshi smile and suggested a choice.
"The Chicken and Rice is really good. So is all the American food. Our chef is American so she tends to make better western food."
Tekeshi shook his head cursing at himself for blabbering like an idiot.
Why would Kagome want to know anything about their chef?
A waitress quickly came to their table asking if they were ready to order yet.
Kagome smiled sweetly. A real smile that made Tekeshi's heart stop in his chest. Thankfully the menu kept Kagome and the waitress from seeing his flushed cheeks and the way he was staring at her.
The waitress like all the employee's here was a youkai. A crane youkai to be exact.
No one would ask why Tekeshi was with a human girl. But if he made goo goo eyes at her like he was doing then it would get people talking. He didn't want the talk.
Talk meant it was more likely that a hunter would learn of his plan.
Hunters didn't take well to a demon trying to mate with a human.
Kagome hesitated a moment then ordered a small bowl of oden.
At this Tekeshi smiled. He remembered that now, the memory coming slow and a little fuzzy. Kagome loved Oden, even to the point of drooling sometimes.
Tekeshi followed Kagome with a order for a large steak platter. He asked the meat to be bloodied rare.
If he had had a choice Tekeshi would have asked for the cow to still be mooing.
His Youkai instincts, stronger now that he was almost full youkai. Were going a little wild being around his chosen partner.
Despite all the times he denied to his brother than he was taking Kagome as his mate, Tekeshi really did love her. He wanted to be with her. He wanted to marry her the human way and then mate the youkai way. He wanted to be loved by her. To be touched and kissed by her. He wanted to be with her.
Kagome…so beautiful and carefree. So innocent and headstrong. Who in the Kami's green earth would have thought I would fall so hard for you.
After they were finished ordering the waitress fairly ran to take car of their order.
Tekeshi chuckled slightly.
Crane youkai's so easily startled or made nervous.
A slightly uncomfortable silence settled. Tekeshi shifted unsure what to say or do now that the actual first sight thing was over.
"So Kagome, Yas…Hojo told me you have been sickly. Are you feeling alright now?"
Of course Tekeshi knew that the sicknesses were a bunch of shit. However he just wanted to see what kind of lie Kagome was able to come up with.
"Oh…"
Kagome he noticed flustered a bit.
"I'm feeling fine, really."
Tekeshi raised an eyebrow at Kagome's terrible lying skills. How in the world did she convince anyone that she had been sick in the first place?
She's so amazing. So kind and wonderful, she had a hard time lying her way out of a paper bag. She's so understanding and open. Kagome never cared that I was a hanyou.
Tekeshi dwelled on that thought a moment.
She never cared I was a hanyou. She loved me anyway. I wonder if she would think of me now. I'm not really a hanyou anymore. Although I'm no true youkai either.
Tekeshi didn't think Kagome would care. He was still Inuyasha. He still had his soul and heart.
Still it was just another detail that made him nervous. After five hundred years of dreaming and planning the actual thing was somewhat unnerving.
"What are you thinking about Tekeshi?"
"Huh?"
Kagome smiled and Tekeshi found himself unable to look away. A slightly blush rose to his cheeks. He swallowed hard.
"Nothing…nothing important. Why?"
Kagome took a sip of her drink, which had already arrived.
"Your face looked so serious…nervous even. I was just wondering."
Tekeshi's lying about something. Something is strange is going on. I feel something.
I want to see what it is. But I don't trust my new shield spells to keep me safe yet.
Kagome's eyebrows came together as she thought over what to do.
Since earlier when that familiar feeling hit her and then disappeared she had been racking her brain on what that could mean.
She thought she might finally understand.
Kaede once told us a story about a man that didn't want another man to know who he was. So he cast a spell…a spell that would keep that man from recognizing him.
Is…Tekeshi…casting such a spell? Kaede said it was possible to do.
But why would Tekeshi need that spell anyway? Do I know him?
I don't remember anyone named Tekeshi?
Or maybe…Tekeshi isn't his real name?
Now that thought really sent her for a loop.
Was Tekeshi…not really Tekeshi but someone else? Maybe even someone else that she knew.
Kagome studied him as he turned slightly to talk to a waiter. The waiter as expected gave Tekeshi his undivided attention.
She was looking for a clue. A clue to who he was. The spell was doing a good job however. She couldn't see anything that would tell her who he was.
Kagome looked harder. She wouldn't be tricked by a stupid spell. She had been through a lot. She wasn't about to endanger herself over a spell.
Spells could be broke…spells could be seen through.
I'll name each feature. Maybe just looking at him isn't enough.
He had a strong jaw and nicely shaped face. Slightly tanned…long black hair. He's got what looks like a mop for bangs and forelocks that draped over his shoulder.
Kagome stopped as a familiarity hit her. She grinned.
Good looks like I found a way around the spell.
She took another sip over her drink as the waitress brought the food. Kagome forced her mind off the awesome looking oden and studied Tekeshi as he attacked the bloody steak.
What else about him…he's tall, and struts around like he owns the place. (which he does:)
Tekeshi noticing Kagome had not started yet stopped and looked up at her.
"Something wrong?"
Kagome smiled and thought offhandedly.
I like his eyes…they're such a pretty color.
Kagome's eyes widened in shock. Her small mouth forming a small 'O'.
He had golden eyes.
She suddenly she knew who he was and the shock was almost more than she could handle.
Oh my GOD! Its him…its really him! He's still alive! It's Inuyasha!
The moment she thought that thought, his image shifted in front of her eyes.
Black hair became white. Teeth became fangs, and fingernails became claws.
He looked almost exactly like the past Inuyasha. About the only noticeable change was his hair, which now was only a little past his shoulders instead off to his butt.
But then again…he looked different.
Now that she could see through his concealing spell, she could see a stripe on each side of his face…and the small light blue crescent moon on his forehead.
Just like Sesshoumaru's moon, only smaller? I wonder how or why he had those?
Tekeshi gasped in surprise as the spell that kept Kagome from knowing who he was shattered. He had never seen a spell shatter before. Pushed aside, broken and holes put in it so someone could slip past yes, but never shattered. There was nothing left from the spell. He couldn't even began to recontruct it.
His mouth hung open as he felt a slight flare of Miko power. It was gone extremly fast, so fast in fact that the other demons didn't feel it. Only being close to her allowed him to feel it.
It was strong…a lot stronger than he remembered her being.
He watched somewhat alarmed at the emotions flashing across her face. She knew who he was he was sure now. His concealing spell only hide his demon traits. He looked like a human Inuyasha. There was no way she didn't know now.
He was about to ask what was up anyway, when she suddenly leaned forward.
He was so surprised he choked on his words.
"What…wha…are you doing?"
Kagome reached out with her hand, her eyes were focused on something on his forehead.
"When did you get this?"
She traced the small moon on his forehead.
Tekeshi's mouth dropped open in surprise and panic again.
She can see my moon? She can see through my concealing spell!
Tekeshi checked on his spell. It was holding good and steady. It didn't even act like it had been wounded. If fact it was fine.
But…if his concealing spell was working how could she see through it? Kagome was a miko true, but to see through a spell like the forget spell it had to be broke, damaged or destroyed. His shield was perfectly fine.
He didn't understand.
"Kagome! I…"
Kagome met his eyes. She seemed really confused but not angry.
"I look forward to your explanation…In."
"TEKESHI!"
Tekeshi cut her off forcible! Kagome startled at his harsh tone.
Taking her hand into his he squeezed it slightly.
"Please Kagome…don't say it. My name is Tekeshi!"
He tried to put how important this was through the tone of his voice. She seemed unsure but nodded her head.
"Kagome…lets go. I have a lot to tell you."
Kagome nodded and allowed Inu…no allowed Tekeshi to help her up. Instantly their waitress asked if everything was ok.
Tekeshi nodded and gave the woman…no…
Kagome's eyes widened slightly the woman's imaged wavered a lot like Tekeshi's had. Instead of looking at a pretty young woman. She was looking at a young crane youkai.
Tekeshi noticed Kagome's eyes widen again as she looked at his employee. He didn't understand what was upsetting her.
He noticed as her eyes swept through the club. Her eyes rested on several people.
Each one he realized were youkai's.
He suddenly understood and the knowledge hit him like a ton of bricks!
Oh Kami! Kagome can see through everyone's shields…not just mine. I was surprised but thought maybe our love let her see through it. Or maybe I wanted her to on a higher level and accidentally let my guard down. But I can see it's just not me. She can see everyone!
But that was impossible! No one could simply look through concealing spells like that. Yet she was, he could tell she knew and saw through each one.
But that could only mean one thing…
Oh my god! Kagome is…Kagome is…
THE POWER!
Fuyu sighed in boredom as she surfed the net.
She watched the half technology and half magic graphics shot across her screen giving her info and other goodies. The screen flashed illuminating her fine and petite features in the half gloom of the room.
Fuyu was lonely and bored. The rest of the group, even the hurt boy hunter had taken off to do some searching. And like always the computer nerd was left alone without anyone but the computer to talk to.
Fuyu snorted very unlady like in disgust.
And people wonder why she liked computers more than people. At least the computer said goodbye whenever you turn it off. Her comrades hadn't even given her a look as they left. She might as well be invisible to them.
And why not, after all she was just a computer nerd she wasn't even a real hunter. She just worked for them.
It was all the same.
Crossing her shapely legs Fuyu put her elbows on the desk and propped her head up.
Surely she was more important to the Hunter cause than that? She had on several occasions helped the hunters find demons to kill. She had even helped kill an American Demon Lord. The guy had been an extremly famous rapper by the name of 2-Pac.
If it hadn't been for her they would have never uncovered him.
This was the reason she put so much into looking for the power. Normally she was less than diligent when it came to assignments. Of course usually she didn't need to put so much time into it. Usually she found what she was looking for extremly fast.
But if she found the power then the others and the ones up top would have to recognize her talents. She would have to become a full-blown member of the hunters. Not just someone that's on the payroll.
"It's not even a very good payroll!"
Fuyu muttered a bit. She was talented. She could go work for anyone in the world if she wanted to. She could become rich in no time at all with all her skills.
But she didn't…and she barely got paid enough to make ends meet. Why she bothered she wasn't sure.
But…ever since she was a little girl and her sister was taken in. She had felt something.
Something she had to do with the hunters.
She knew that if she stayed with the Hunters despite the lack of respect someone like her should get, then something wonderful would happen.
She didn't know why she felt like this…she just knew.
Fuyu typed in some buttons and went into another site.
This was a demon site, that only demons…or really really good hackers could get into. And since Fuyu fell under the latter of the two categories she was able to get in.
She went to the chat room.
She ignored most of the posts. If she didn't she might get sick.
Demons tended to brag about kills or other sporting events on such chat rooms as this.
A lot of the posts were very vivid and detailed.
Disgusting.
Suddenly Fuyu's eyes widened as she noticed a certain alias on the chat room.
Squealing loudly in joy Fuyu whirled around in her computer chair a few times. When she finally stopped her head was spinning slightly.
If anyone had been in the house at the moment they would have looked at her weird.
The reason she was so excited.
She had finally found Foxfire!
The demon hacker who had been sending her on a wild goose chase for the last four or five days.
Never in her short life had she even come close to meeting someone as talented as herself. She was after all the number one computer expert in the Hunter's ranks.
Yet this demon had out smarted her several times, making her lose his trail over and over again. Every time she thought she came close to him he would simply disappear, as well as any traces to where he was.
Jumping up in a tiny bounce like hop. Fuyu who was now feet first in her chair leaned over and began typing furiously.
I VE ME: Hey ya Foxfire. I finally gottcha!Renjiro blinked in surprise as a private chat line box blinked onto his computer.
I VE ME? I don't know any I VE ME?Shippou frowned slightly.
Foxfire: Do I know you?
I VE ME: Nope.
Foxfire: What do you want?
Renjiro had a funny feeling about this. Something didn't seem quiet right.
I VE ME: Well…the same thing you do. The power…and maybe some money to. I don't nearly get paid enough for what I do. I can barely afford to keep up with the newest and coolest computers. Man why couldn't I be born rich or something? And where in the hell are those just dead uncles that you've never met yet want to give you 10 million dollars when you need them. Say…are you cute?
"Uh?"
Was Renjiro's response? He wasn't really sure what to make of this girl.
Fuyu grinned ear to ear as she tapped his computer trying to figure out where he was online at. However Foxfire was proving to be a worthy opponent. She couldn't get a lock…and that was very surprising to her.
Foxfire: Do you know anything about the power? Maybe we can exchange info?Renjiro sent a feeler out to try figure out what this I VE ME knew.
I VE ME: Uh…well…not even a clue. The guy could be a six-foot midget from Alabama for all I know.
Renjiro snorted a laugh, a six-foot midget. Now that was something he would like to see. Leaning forward in anticipation Renjiro typed some more.
He was exited, after all it wasn't everyday he met someone as good as him on the computer. She was giving him a hard time keeping his location (where he was online at) a secret. He had to so to speak dodge her skillful probing several times already.
He hadn't been challenged this hard…well…never. After all he had been alive when computers were just a thought in some nerds brain.
Foxfire: what are you?
I VE ME: A kitty cat.
Fuyu lied outright. If she was to get anything from this awesome Computer dude then he would have to think her a youkai. Not a hunter wanna be.
Foxfire: I know something good about the power.Fuyu's eyes widened slightly. Was he telling the truth or just jerking her computer modem.
Foxfire: Are you cute?? Cause if you are I might think about telling you if you go out with me sometime.Fuyu squealed embarrassedly into her hands again and stood up on her chair. Her computer chair rocked dangerously and finally tipped over. Spilling Fuyu onto the floor in a red-faced heap.
Sitting up her legs sprayed straight up over the chair, Fuyu thought over her options.
One: This guy was a demon.
Two: He was also her soul mate in the computer world.
Three: If they met he would most likely kill her for being human.
"Ah what the hell, life's to long anyway."
I VE ME: Sure…but you have to promise to tell me what you know. Swear on you little hard drive!
Foxfire: hey I ain't got a little hard drive.
Fuyu rolled her eyes and giggled. Men, be they demon or human were all the same.
I VE ME: Whatever…met me at greenpeace park, tonight at 2am.
Foxfire: what do you look like? How will I know you?
Fuyu stopped typing and thought. She really wasn't doing this was she? If she did met him then he would know right away that she wasn't a cat. He would know that she was a human.
I VE ME: I have curly black hair; I'll be wearing a pink shirt.
Sweetie logged off without saying goodbye. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
What she was going to do would surely get her killed.
But…
Not all demons were bad, she knew this.
Unlike other hunters who only dealed with the blood covered killing demons, Fuyu saw a lot of different kinds on the Internet.
She saw websites of demons trying to make peace, or some demons that just wanted to live their lives with their families.
Foxfire she had noticed never ever posted anything that suggested he was into killing humans.
This was something that bothered her greatly.
She wasn't a real hunter, she just worked for them. Did she have to hate demons like the rest? Because the truth was she didn't hate them. She didn't hate anyone.
She was sure that if every one just grew up and quiet killing each other then humans and demons could live together.
Fuyu rolled over and got to her feet.
She looked at her watch. She had 6 hours before she met with him. She would have to get ready quickly and leave before anyone else in the team came back. She wouldn't leave any note or explanation for leaving.
The best that could have would be she would learn something about the power. The worst…well she could die.
Fuyu smiled as she bounded into the room given her. She started looking through cloths. She liked the odds and risks. Made life exciting!
Renjiro scratched his head in wonderment at the strange Neko youkai that had…so to speak given him a run for his money.
"She's amazing."
Renjiro smiled slightly as he looked over his computer codes. It wouldn't be safe for him to get on-line for at least a few hours. The links that he needed to get on were all hot with little viruses. If he hit one of them, everything in his computer…even where he was at the moment would be an open book for her to read. The cool thing about them was they were so harmless and small that most virus checks would let them through. He had to manually catch and destroy each one he hit.
Now that was amazing.
Standing up he stretched his sore muscles out.
He had been sitting in one spot way to long. Looking for info on the power.
"And still nothing. The only clue we have is that the power is female."
Renjiro looked up at a small wall clock by his desk.
It was a little after eight.
Which means that Tekeshi and Kagome are on their date.
Renjiro smiled.
It would be really nice to see Kagome again after all these years. He had still been a small pup back then. And the Miko was like a mother to him.
She was my mother. She and Inuyasha took care of me. Made sure I survived. Hell that Jerk is still protecting me. Without him the hunters would have nabbed me a long time ago.
Shippou sighed sadly.
Tekeshi has found his love. I wonder if I'll ever find anyone like that?Shippou wasn't in a hurry to mate. Being young he still liked to run wild. But more resent of late he had been wondering about finding love. He was five hundred years old…yet he hadn't found the one yet. What if she wasn't out there? What if he was cursed not to be able to find a demon to love because of his human history? All the humans he had known and had helped raise him. There was Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Kaede and the rest of village. They had all changed him into what he was today. And now he just couldn't seem to connect with other demoness because he had been raised like a human.
True he was never a classic youkai to begin with. His father never hurt humans if he could help it, and Shippou didn't mind that Inuyasha was a hanyou. But growning up amoung humans changed him more than he was willing to admit…yet had to.
He was youkai in blood, human in mind.
It was strange and awkward at times.
He thought of the neko that he had agreed to meet.
Of course he was only lying to her about telling her something about the power. He just wanted to meet her. To meet the woman that was his other half in the computer world. He would never betray the jerk Tekeshi and Lord Kiyoshi.
Renjiro checked the clock again.
Might as well go ahead and head there. He wanted to check for traps just in case and to be prepared himself if need be.
It never hurt to be cautious.
