Meanwhile, Brawl and Omen were plotting and planning.

"But brother-mine..."

"But what? You take after Mother far too much, Omen."

"And you take after Father, like you are he and hunting Inuyasha. The jewel is gone. Its what made Mother and Aunt equal to their husbands. You remember what the stories say: 'And behold! Upon the granted wish the jewel of four souls vanished into thin air, never to be seen agian.' What makes you beleive it has returned?"

Brawl, his scared arm now covered in folds of fabric from new clothes (now completly black) replied simply, "This map," he pointed to the table between them, "is proof. Demons from all 'round the world are converging once more, as they did so many years ago when that wench Kagome came back in time with it. The sightings of Demons were few at first, but steadily have grown. They seem to be searching for something. And I intend to find that something first." Brawl smiled.

Omen stared at his brother, not letting any emotion seep through. He did not agree, and could not see the logic. Why go chasing after ghosts? This pattern was not the same as Brawl thought. It was far more complex, as if someone was directing the search. If he knew anything with a certainty, it was this: Demons would NEVER share the Jewel. It was impossible. Only one could possess the Jewel. No, whoever was behind this was searching for something ELSE.

"Fenri, where exactly are we going?"

"I don't know. I thougth you were leading?"

"WHAT!? You mean to tell me that we've been traveling for days, and in no specific direction!?" I pounced on him and pounded my fists into his chest.

He made no movement to stop me, although I could see it was hurting him, "Finished? Good." he plopped me down on the ground roughly and began speaking again, "One, I have never been anywhere but the Forest; Two I am taking us in the opposite direction Uncles place is; Three, I am clueless as to what we'll find, so, I am gonna teach you how to fight demons. Because I am pretty certain we WILL be running into some soon."

"And hw do you know that, Oh Wise Knowledgable Type Person?" I said sarcastically.

"Well, I've scented quite a few day old trails. And the other reason is, umm....Well--,"

"Oh. Nevemind that one then...." I blushed and then he blushed. He HAD been keeping his distance the past few days. Now I knew why, "Suppose I should keep my distance then?"

He nodded, "Don't be too far from me in case you need me. And be careful at all times." he lept into a tree and prepared to dose while I started a meager fire and cooked dinner. The next few days were uncomfortable for him, so he mainly slept in the trees and I on the ground. Eventually things returned to normal. Even during his uncomfortable time near me, we managed to spar. I was learning the ins and outs on HOW to hurt demons, were as all my previous training back home was mainly for humans. Which, might I add, was FAR easier than fighting demons.

Gradually I began to change. My body became able to move faster, longer, and with more agility than a normal humans. I was matching Fenri in just about everything he taught me. The only thing I couldn't copy was the fact he had claws and I did not. He even pushed up my learning till I was exhausted by dinner time. On one of these particular evenings, my rest was restless and plagued by uneasiness.
