Chapter: 5 Akida's Story & Inuyasha's Boring Life

Kagome & Akida finally stopped laughing sides aching. Kagome looked into Akida's eyes

& remembered her earlier question. Akida sensed her curiosity. 'I had a feeling that question would come up again'

" What's bothering you?" Akida asked.

"What......er, how can you show someone your memories?"she questioned Akida.

" I figured that would come up again." Kagome saw Akida's eyes were now feral looking, like Sesshomaru's,

but her eyes were black instead of red.

"venire-memoria-figura"

Kagome saw a blue-black mist surround her & Akida. The mist cleared & she saw two little children rough housing.

She turned & saw Akida; her face was completely blank, & void of all emotion.

"That's Kahvic & I when we were little; about 3 yrs old," Akida pointed to a blanket a few yards away

"Those were our parents. Aniue & Camion Lupin. My mom was about 250 yrs, & dad was around 255yrs old."

Kagome looked at them curiously. 'They look like they're just out of collage! Not over a two-hundred.' Kagome suddenly found

herself in the blue-black mist again. Again it cleared & Kagome saw the two children for a second time, only now they were older looking.

"Akida?" Kagome called, she was a bit uneasy because she couldn't see Akida anywhere. Akida came out of the shadows.

'Man these memories are going to kill me.' Akida sighed, trying not to let the tears she'd held back for so long fall.

"Yes Kagome?" Akida finally spoke startling Kagome. "Kahvic & I had just turned seven, when our parents were murdered

by a traitor in our pack. This is the morning before they..........were killed." Akida's voice faltered. Kagome looked over to

see Akida mask her face, with a blank stare that would rival Sesshoumaru's. Kagome was about to say she was sorry, but was cut off.

" I don't want, nor do I need your sympathy, or anyone else's for that matter." Akida spat her retort too to sympathetic

statement that was unsaid. Kagome felt anger, resentment, & suddenly deja'vue. 'Inuyasha acts this way when he's holding

something back.' Kagome realized.

" Watch." Akida said without even trying to hide the anger in her voice. ' I never thought a girl could infuriate me as much as

Inuyasha does.' Kagome was so caught up in her thoughts about Inuyasha & how many times he'd made her mad she absent

mindedly said something that left Akida dumbfounded.

"SIT, BOY!!" Kagome yelled as loud as she could. Akida looked over at her friend, 'Kagome can be intimidating when she

wants to be.' Akida thought. 'Why did she say sit though? I'm no dog!' Kagome suddenly started blushing as she finally realized

Inuyasha was not there for her to 'sit'.

"Um? Sit? Boy?!" Akida looked at her blushing friend.

"I'm not a dog & I'm most certainly not a boy Kagome-chan." This statement made Kagome glare at her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha was sitting in his tree impatiently drumming his clawed fingers on the branch he sat in. 'That stupid wench she should

be back by now! Those stupid test she takes, are preventing us from getting the jewel shards!' Inuyasha growled to himself quietly.

Sango was sleeping in Lady Kaede's hut; Miroku was inching his way closer, so he could grope her no doubt, & Inuyasha didn't

really care where Shippou was.

"HENTAI!!!!!" Sango screamed, & stormed out of Kaede's hut Kiara at her heels, fuming. Inuyasha sighed just a routine

day in his life. 'When will that lecher of a monk learn?'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Akida's Memory Sequence~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Akida got up from her bed & ran into her twins room bouncing on his bed trying her best to wake him up.

"Kahv! Wake up! We have to go downstairs!!!" Akida bounced on her brothers bed & nuzzled his face to

wake him up. (A/n: this is not an act of incest it is the way that they used to greet their pack members!)

Kahvic growled & rolled over, but after awhile he groggily came to his senses, & remembered what day it was.

Kahvic sat bolt upright now fully awake.

"Kida today's our birthday; isn't it!?" Akida seeing that he finally got it, stopped bouncing.

"No duh! Kahv!" Kahvic rolled his eyes & pushed her off the end of his bed. She got up & growled at her brother, then leaped

at him starting a wrestling match. Akida pinned her brother, growling in triumph. Kahvic sighed seeing that she had won, this time.

Akida got up & helped her brother up, the turned around to see their parents standing in the doorway.

"Uh-oh!" Akida, & Kahvic said simultaneously. Both of them smiled nervously. Their parents just started laughing.

"Happy Birthday pups!" Aniue said as she nuzzled her hyper-active pups. Camion stood in the doorway smiling at them.

Akida noticed that her dad was standing in the doorway, she wiggled out of her mom's grasp, & walked up to her dad head & tail

held high. Camion smiled at his daughter, when he smile Akida leapt into his arms nuzzling his chin in submission.

He laughed lightly & gave her a hug, a loving growl emanating from his chest. Kahvic did the same as Akida; when Camion put

his sister down.

Kagome watched all this with a smile. She looked at Akida who was also smiling, Kagome saw one of her fangs showing.

"That was the absolute best moment of my life; I didn't know what would happen that night." Kagome nodded, & didn't

say anything. Once again she saw the blue-black mist surround her. When it cleared she was looking at a beautiful twilight.

"This is the very night my parents were murdered. It's not gory, but you'll be able to hear their howls." Akida said this with

a bitter lilt in her voice. Kagome nodded & peered into the darkness.

Akida, Kahvic, & their parents were in they're smaller wolf forms. (A/n: Basically their bigger than normal wolves but not to the

point were it would make anyone suspicious.) This was The pups first night on a real hunt. The twins were keeping right up with

they're parents. Camion came to an abrupt stop, Aniue did the same; as well as the pups.The family scented the air, & caught

wind of the big bull elk standing in the middle of the clearing. Akida & her brother were quivering with excitement. Aniue nodded

& the twins started to stalk the bull. Akida was on the left flank, while Kahvic was on the right. That's when they made they're

rush, Kahvic leapt & sunk his fangs into the bulls right flank. Akida put on more speed, & leapt to grab the bulls throat. The bull

swung it's massive rack around at Akida who was in mid leap. One of the bulls horns caught right below Akida's right eye &

ripped up her face & stopped above her eyebrow. Akida landed on the ground her face bleeding, soaking the fur around her muzzle,

& exposing the bone beneath the now ripped flesh. Aniue took a step forward to help her pup, but Camion stopped her. Akida let

out a snarl, filled with anger & excitement. She rushed the bull again but this time she didn't get hit by his rack. Her fangs met flesh,

& immediately broke through it. Akida put as much jaw pressure as she could on the bulls jugular vein, while hanging inches off

the ground. The bull staggered around the clearing losing blood as well as energy to move, he collapsed.

The hunt was over, Akida, & Kahvic were now considered the future leaders of the pack. The whole pack had gathered, around

the fallen prey. A young 10 year-old male wolf walked up to Akida & licked her face wound clean, in return Akida nuzzled the fur around his neck.

Her mother, & father had betrothed her to the strongest, & smartest age-mate of hers. His name was Draik, Akida had grown up

with him, & always greeted him like this. Akida & Kahvic sighed, & then began to eat their kill with the pack. They were so busy

eating, that when the gunshots were fired, four of her pack members were killed immediately, Aniue, & Camion, gave off a retreat

howl, telling the pack to run for it. Akida, & Kahvic took off, Draik ran right beside Akida. They heard more gunshots & howls of

pain, & anger. Akida tried to shut it all out. Suddenly the dirt in front of them sprayed up. All of them were surprised, skidded to a

stop. They started running in the opposite direction, as they ran they changed into they're humanoid form. Akida saw a cave, &

grabbed Draik & Kahvic dragging them towards it. Akida shoved Kahvic inside, & was about to do the same to Draik when a new

spray of bullets came at them. Akida saw Draik freeze as a dozen or so bullets hit him in the heart.

"Draik?!" Akida watched him fall to the ground dead. She fought back tears. The silence was broken when she heard two

solitary howls of pain sent up by their parents. Akida & Kahvic, heard these howls, & raced towards the sound. Akida & Kahvic

arrived to watch their parents leap at they're attackers only to be shot & killed before they got the chance. The twins knew they

couldn't do anything, & were filled with a burning rage & hatred for every living human. Akida felt a sharp pain in her shoulder

& watched as the world went black.

Kagome watched all this happen with horror written all over her face. The blue-black mists surrounded her again, Kagome shut

her eyes as tight as she could. She opened her to see her bedroom. Akida looked her dead in the eye.

"That's the reason I hate everyone, that's why my eyes hold anger, hatred, pain, & sorrow. Now you know."

Ayaia- Whoa! That was deep.

Hildy- I didn't know Akida could write like that. *Hildy is pinned by a sword*

Jennifer-wowowowowow!
