Just to all of those who don't know (This is about everyone!) I delete author's notes, but I keep up my replies to my reviewers! So, go back and read chapter 4 if you haven't already! Oh, and I don't own Inuyasha but I did write this fic!

Chapter 5

Fangs and Kitsunes

"YOU'RE A WHAT!" the four shriek as Sango and Miroku are still in shock.

"Well, you heard me," Riana sighs. "I'll be leaving now…"

"No you won't," Kirara steps over to Riana and holds out her hand. "You're not a full vampire."

"No, I'm half vampire. It is a bit like a hanyou, I get little respect from the true vampires of any nation."

"What's your other half then?" Sango has finally awoken from her shock, dragging Miroku with her.

"I'm part kitsune," Riana sighs and tries to leave once again, only to be stopped by Shippo's hand on her shoulder.

"You're staying," Shippo states bluntly. Riana is so shocked that she sits down on the floor right in front of Shippo.

"Out of curiosity, what types of hanyous are you?" Riana frowns in thought.

"Wren's an inu, I'm a neko," Kirara smiles.

"I guess that makes me a kitsune-vampire hanyou?"

"I suppose it does," Miroku sighs. "You may stay, as long as you do not drink our blood."

"Kirara, why didn't you tell me you were a neko hanyou?" Wren waits until Kirara's parents are asleep.

"I thought you knew! I mean, Kirara was a cat demon that means 'neko youkai'!" Kirara frowns and pouts turning her head to gaze out her bedroom window.

"So, do you think you can help me get those two together, Riana?" Shippo whispers to the girl.

"I will gladly help, my friend," Riana shares a conspiratorial smile with Shippo.

"I just have one request," Shippo winces.

"Yes, Shippo-sama?"

"Don't grope me," Shippo watches as Riana stares at him in absolute confusion.

"Shippo-sama, what are you talking about?" Riana frowns.

"Nevermind," Shippo sighs in relief and goes to sleep on his sleeping bag.

"Kirara-sama… Wren-sama…" Riana frowns. "Why is Shippo-sama afraid of me groping him?"

"Um… well…" Kirara blushes.

"The girl you killed, she is responsible for his fear," Wren grimaces. "While were talking, can we get something straight?" Riana nods as she stares at Wren in curiosity, "Stop saying 'sama' after everyone's name!"

"But you are clearly my betters…" Riana blinks in confusion.

"No, Riana, we are equals," Kirara smiles and sits beside the girl. "We've all had problems and no one is perfect, besides, you're our friend. Even if you did kill someone… that's okay, because you protected us."

Riana sighs and lies down on her sleeping bag next to Shippo, "Thank you, Kirara. It is nice to be accepted and have friends. Good night."

"She's asleep," Wren sighs. "Now, tell me what's wrong."

"It bothers me that the bodies of those two disappeared. It's almost like the demons know I have the jewel," Kirara frowns. "Wren, could they have been constructs?"

"What do you mean? Those two that attacked us were puppets?" Wren growls, "It's a possibility."

"How high of one?" Kirara sighs as she watches Wren stand and sit next to her, his back against a wall.

"High," Wren growls irritably at the thought, but calms as soon as has laid her head on his shoulder and fallen into slumber.

Hi everyone! What do you think of Riana Velázquez? I started reading some vampire novels and I just couldn't help but add her into the mixture! Now, I just had to make her something other than a full vampire. I had to make her able to control her need for blood, which is why she is also part demon. I figured that if Kirara and Wren have a chance to go youkai, then we need someone who can control their urges and is semi-calm. But, this person must also be strong, witty, and have a soft side to her. I'm working toward a certain goal, but I don't know how it's going to happen. Oh, I almost forgot!

Thank you so much! Sora and Death, your comments are greatly appreciated! Until next time!
