By The Light Of The Moon Chapter10: The New Meaning Of A Family Dispute *************************************************************

I'm really sorry that this story is so confusing and kind of jumpy. But that's really how I wanted it to be. I wanted to confuse you; it was all part of it. I know you guys are probably really frustrated, so I'll try and be clearer. I'm sorry for skipping from one chapter to the other with out giving good transitions. I'll try and not do that too much from now on.

Ok now for the next chapter... *************************************************************

"Mother!" The girl cried when she got to the door.

"Itsuki?" A voice called from inside the hut.

"Mommy!" The girl cried happily when the door opened and a figure stepped out and hugged her daughter.

Kagome looked closely at the figure and gasped at the familiar blond hair that wisped around her face and the dark eyes that looked down at her daughter. But there was something even more familiar about her, they way Ryuki looked at Itsuki was the way Kagome's mother had looked at her.

When Kagome had fallen down and scraped her knee, her mother was there. All it took was a hug and a kiss and nothing else mattered. In the arms of your mother nothing could go wrong.

"Kikyo!" Ryuki said, suddenly realizing Kagome was standing right in front of her.

"Please...call me Kagome!" Kagome insisted.

"Kagome." Ryuki nodded in agreement.

"Mommy! Daddy and uncle Yu are trying to kill us." The girl said in a whisper.

"Ryu?" Ryuki said in question.

"Yes." Itsuki said in a very deep voice for a little girl.

"That bastard." Ryuki swore in a deep growl.

"You should all come inside. We'll think of something, they won't start looking until tomorrow night." Ryuki said and beckoned them into her home. *************************************************************

"Smart girl!" Ryu exclaimed.

"No, stupid girl, she should've just stuck with the plan and we would be done all ready!" Yu exclaimed.

"She went straight to mommy's house. Which is exactly where we wanted her to go." Ryu

"Yeah, killing two birds with one stone." Yu said with an evil grin, which showed his awful pointed teeth.

"More like three." Ryu said with a smile to match his brother's.

"We'll attack tomorrow night." Yu said and yawned.

"Right, for now, let's get some sleep." Ryu said and they both shrank back into the shadows to rest. *************************************************************

"How strong are they?" Kagome questioned Ryuki as she sat the cup of tea down.

"Physically? I could beat them both with my pinky. But mentally is another story." Ryuki said and twirled her pinky in the air to demonstrate ripping their throats out.

"Mentally?" Kagome asked uncertain.

"Yes, together they can control your mind; make you think what they want. The only way to beat them would be to get them apart and trap them. But they never leave each others sides. It's virtually impossible." Ryuki said and shook her head.

"I can read minds." Itsuki said in a quiet voice. For a little girl, she sure could be extremely mature. She acted like a kid most of the time, but in times of trouble she was just like her mother. They both calmly sat there and thought their own thoughts.

"Maybe we can work something out." Ryuki said with a new gleam in her eye.

"Do they ever leave each other, even for a second?" Kagome asked.

"There might be a way." Ryuki smiled.

"I can help." Itsuki said in a serious tone.

"No, that might not be a good idea." Ryuki said.

"Actually, it just might be." Kagome said in a thoughtful voice.

"It will be dangerous..." Kagome warned lifting an eyebrow up.

"I can do it." Itsuki said with a determined smile.

"All right, we can do it!" Ryuki agreed and smiled down at her daughter.

"Good! Now, here's what we'll do..." Kagome said and started to explain what they will do. *************************************************************

"Is it time yet?" YU asked impatiently.

"Patience is a virtue." Ryu said softly.

"That's the biggest load of shit!" Yu said in an annoyed voice.

"Yes, but we need to wait a little longer." Ryu said.

"That way we can have time to torture them before the sun comes up." Yu nodded and licked his lips.

Both brothers looked at each other and started a chorus of laughter. *************************************************************

Ok, how was that? I hope no too confusing. Ok Ryu and Yu are the twins, Ryuki is Itsuki's mother. I named them that way so it won't be too hard to remember who is who. Ok, I know that I'm cruel for leaving you hanging like this, but I need to work on my other fic, and besides, suspense is what makes up a good story. So, flame me if you must, as for now, I bid you ado.
