I leapt towards the scent as it grew stronger. It was defiantly Kouga. I leapt up one more time and spotted him before I drew my daggers and slashed at him. He spun around and dodged me before I got a chance to tear him open as I had often dreamed of doing.
He leapt away from me then came at me with his claws aimed at my throat. I blocked his claws with my dagger then slashed at him, missing by bare inches. He quickly kicked me and I flew backwards against a tree. ] I wiped the blood from my lip and through one of my daggers at him. He easily dodged it and smirked.
"Still trying to kill me, huh? When will you learn that you will never be strong enough to defeat me?" he said arrogantly with a smirk plastered on his face.
"I will kill you!!" I snarled as I dropped my other dagger and leapt at him with my claws outstretched.
He smirked wider and moved to the side just as I was about to strike him down. I turned around and he kicked me once again. I fell to the ground and growled low.
"You can't beat me. Give it up mutt," he said before he ran off in a brown whirlwind.
I snarled louder and punched my fist through a tree. The tree rocked slightly before falling over and crashing into several others. I was seriously pissed now. I leapt into the direction he had run in and growled low. I didn't care if it took me years, I would find a way to kill him.

I knelt by a river as anger filled me again for not being able to finish off that damn wolf. I leaned my head down and began to wash the dirt and blood from my claws and hair as the anger surged throughout my body once again.
I could remember the hatred in his eyes as he pushed me over the cliff side. I could remember the hateful smirk that had been plastered on his face. I could remember the pain as my body hit the jagged rocks.
I bared my fangs as my claws grew longer in my rage. I perked my ears up as a sound of harsh winds neared me. I leapt to my feet and turned to see a blurred wind heading towards me.
"Kouga...It must be him. The smell of wolf is reeking from it. It must be him. Now I can have my vengeance for what he did to me," I growled low as I ran towards the blurred winds.
I slashed at the wind with my claws extended as they disappeared. I felt my claws strike flesh and I looked up as the wolf jumped into a tree. "Come out here Kouga! Fight me like the demon you claim to be! I won't show you mercy like you never showed me!" I snarled angrily as I slashed through the tree that he was in.
I watched as the wolf leapt out of the tree and I rushed at him again with my claws extended. Then the wolf turned to me and I stopped short. It wasn't that damned wolf, it was another.
"You're that half demon that was at Kikyo's grave!" I said in shock as I stood up straight from my fighting stance.
"Wait...If you saw me at the grave...You were the one who stopped the priest from killing me..." the small half-demon muttered as she climbed to her feet.
"Your...scent is so much like Kouga's...I'm sorry. Please forgive me," I sighed with a small bow.
"Why are you after Kouga? Did he do something to you?" she asked curiously as she tilted her head to the side.
I flinched slightly and looked at the smaller demon before turning around and lifting my shirt up, revealing the jagged scars that ran the length of my back. I heard the small demon gasp behind me and I lowered my shirt, turning back to face her.
"Those scars were what Kouga did to me. He put me through hell. I was only a pup when he did this to me," I said quietly as I fixed my clothing and looked at her.
"I...I'm sorry," she murmured as she looked at me with pitying eyes. I hate that look when people give it to me.
"Don't apologize for something you didn't do or cause," I muttered.
"Oh, by the way, my name's Kara," the wolf said with a bright smile.
I looked over at her and nodded, "Ketsurui."
I sniffed at the air as a familiar scent came closer and anger surged through me once again. I growled low as I placed one of my claws to the hilt of one of my blades. A whirlwind appeared and vanished, leaving Kouga in its wake. He stood on a tree branch calmly looking over Kara, then nervously at me.
"Kouga!! I'm gonna make you pay for what you did to me!" I snarled as I flexed my claws impatiently.
"Oh, it's you. I was wondering if you were still alive," he said nonchalantly with a fang bared.
"Feh! Like you care!" I growled as I clenched my fists and dug my claws into my palms.
"I didn't come here to mess with you, mutt. It's good to see you're still alive, Kara. How's the hunt for the jewel shards?" I looked at him angrily and growled low. How could he even act like he cared about half-demons?
""It's going okay..." she replied quietly. I stared at her then back to that heartless demon.
"Hey," that wolf said quietly as he leapt down next to her and caressed her cheek, "You okay?"
I felt my anger with him rising ever second as he talked to her. He seemed to hate all half-demons and here he was treating that wolf like a sister! He was nothing but a damn hypocrite! I looked down at my claws then at him before lunging at him and slashed towards him. He leapt out of the way and I glared at him in utter hatred.
"Just wondering, but would either of you like information on the demon, Naraku?" Kouga said slyly with a smirk plastered on his face.
Kara looked up at me and pleaded, "Don't kill him yet, Kets." She turned back to him and asked politely, "What do you have to tell us, Kouga?"
"Naraku is heading to the west. He's searching for the jewel shards. It looks like you've got a few shards of your own, Kara. Just keep them away from that evil bastard. Even though the others don't want you in the tribe, Kara, I wouldn't care less if you were a half-demon or a full demon," he said. He almost sounded sane if it weren't for the fact that I could remember the pain he caused me.
"Why would you care about a half-demon, you damn hypocrite!? It never stopped you from giving me these scars!" I growled in my rage and pain of what had happened to me.
He turned without a response and walked into the forest, leaving Kara and I behind. My vision was turning red and my claws were lengthening. I took deep breaths as I tried to calm my anger to a reasonable level. I suddenly felt a small hand hold my own and my anger lowered considerably. I looked down to see Kara gripping my hand and looking up at me.
"Kets, how am I gonna stand a chance against this Naraku? I don't even have any weapons..." she said as she looked up at me with wide eyes. I looked at her silently as an idea came to mind.
Kara let go of my hand and sat down, fluffing her tail and getting all the dirt from it. I smiles lightly and sat down cross-legged a little ways from her. I watched as Kara got up and made her way to me then she lightly tugged my ears. I grabbed her tail and started petting it while laughing lightly. Kara giggled lightly and tugged on my ears one last time before letting go.
"I know how to get you a weapon," I said as she settled down a little.
"Really!?" she squealed brightly as a huge smile covered her face.
"Yep. We'll go get a weapon forged for you by Totosai, the sword forger. I bet he could make a sword for you," I said confidently.
"Cool. A sword forger. I can get my own blade! Okay, let's go for it!" Kara said excitedly as she jumped to her feet.
I lifted Kara up on my back and headed towards Totosai's lands. I was prepared to get Kara a sword if it meant tearing someone's head off to do it. I caught a scent that smelled faintly of Houshin, but I shook it off and ran into the forest.
