C H A P T E R E I G H T

Inside Inuyasha and Kagome's home Fenri was eating breakfast at the table. He had already ate a couple dozen donuts and three plates of pancakes before Inuyasha and I returned, bursting through the door.

Panting I saw Fenri at the table with half a pancake sticking out of his mouth, "You're moving." he looked perplexed, that's when I remembered the race, "Did Inuyasha beat me here?" Fenri and Kagome didn't even need to reply because Inuyasha slid to a hault at the front door.

Panting he asked, "Damn your fast!"

Fenri looked from Inuyasha to me then back again, "She beat you."

"Yes," (insert panting Inuyasha noises), "She did. I'm starting to beleive she IS part demon."

"The only question is her parentage. Who were they?" Kagome said, musing. I definately did NOT like were this conversation was going.

"I don't think she wants to talk about her parents, Mom." Fenri told her while looking at me. I blushed and looked away.

"That's another thing I wanna know too. How do you always KNOW what she's thinking or feeling? That usually only happens if you're--," her eyes widened.

I narrowed my eyes at her, "What?"

She smiled, "Nothing! Nothing at all!" she waved the question off. Inuyasha made his 'Feh' remark and left.

"You're hiding something." Fenri said before I could.

"No, no! Honestly! Umm, by the way, when you gonna go see the world? You know, see what its like and all?"

"Mother! There's nothin I want with the outside world! I like it here."

"Regardless, you need to find your own life out there somewhere. You're, what, about 3 years older than Circes?"

"And you haven't tried life outside?" I gaped at him.

"Not you too!" the conversation went down hill from here.

Two days later, and carrying packs of essentials, Fenri and I were off to see the great outdoors! Not to mention I got me some spiffy new clothes. My NEW outfit was a simple white shirt with billowy sleeves, and a blacktunic lookin thing over that. (You know, like Yura's? ^_~) My pants were like a miko's only green and less poofy, it also had slits in them so you could see my legs when I moving. I was thrilled with the new clothes Kagome had given me. She even packed an extra set with a small sewing kit, just to be safe. Fenri wore the exact same outfit Inuyasha wore execpt it was black. It kind of contrasted againt his white hair which had a black streak on his left side.

Fenri sighed, "What is it now?" I asked him.

"Nothing."

"It has to be something. Thats the hundreth time you've sighed and we ain't even that far away from your home. This is supposed to be a learning experience ya know!" I scolded him

He rounded on me, "The real reason they told me to leave was to find a mate. As if any would see fit to pair with me. My father says it'll make me stronger, with all the other demons that'll think I'm food. And my sisters say it'll be a good experience for me. So WHY exactly should I be in a good mood?" he glared.

I blinked, "I dunno! Why are you yelling at me!? You should be happy your parents let you out of the house!" I growled.

He blinked, "What do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean by what?"

"You mentioned your parents."

I paused, "And?"

"And I would like to know them. ABOUT them."

I looked him over, then continued to walk forward, "I never knew my real parents."

"You must have had foster--,"

"Enough." I looked over my shoulder at him, "I've only known you for a few days. I am NOT gonna tell YOU my life story." I paused, "My reall parents were never known to me so drop it, please?" the last cam eout as a bear whisper.

He studied me and finally concented, "As you wish."

I sighed. [Life is getting far to complicated. Maybe I should've gone home?]

[You wouldn't be completely happy back home after being here.] Fenri sent to me.

[No, I wouldn't. And another thing....why are you talking in my head? You shouldnt be able to do that right? Its not natural...]

Fenru thought for a moment, [I think I remember mother saying something about thought speech to others, but....I can't quite remember.]

"Alot of good you are." I mumbled. Fenri swatted at my head, I ducked, and we chased each other around the forest. Oblivious to everything, but laughing and having fun.
