Chapter 10

Kitsune Spirit

          "WREN!" Kirara shrieks. She runs towards his scent, Shippo beside her, and Rei clasped tightly in her arms.

          "Kirara?" Wren looks up from Rekka's face and to that of a very frightened Kirara. "What's wrong?" Kirara runs behind him and scoops up Rekka in her other arm.

          A soft chuckling is heard by our six heroes, "I am terribly sorry. I must have frightened you, pup." A ghostly figure steps from the shadows, causing Riana to freeze for a moment, then break down into tears. "Riana, is that you?"

          "Mother…" Riana grabs onto Shippo and cries into his chest.

          "Oh, honey…" the female kitsune sighs. "I'm so sorry… I never meant for you to grow up alone. Your father drank dark blood… it caused him to go insane with rage, and because some of his blood splashed on me when I killed him… I went insane, but I knew not to hurt you. I miss you, kitling."

          "Momma… why are you here?"

          "Well, I was told to tell two hanyous a warning from an inu and a miko. They said they had to speak to a certain wolf and two humans about something."

          "They must be talking to Koga and my parents," Kirara shivers in the kitsune ghost's presence.

          "You are still afraid of me," the kitsune sighs. "Riana, your father sends his love. We both will always love you. Goodbye honey. The ghosts are rooting for you." The kitsune vanishes.

          "Momma…" Riana lets Shippo wrap her in his arms.

Poor Riana! I wasn't expecting her to take it so hard, but I guess seeing an already deceased family member can have you balling in moments. I wonder if seeing Kagome and Inuyasha would have the same effect on our heroes. I guess we'll just have to see, ne?

I need your help!

I need to know if you guys want Riana and Sesshomaru to be a couple or Riana and Shippo.

You decide! Please vote in your reviews!

I'll try to update soon! So long for now!
