A/N: Yay! We are finally going to get to see a Demon of Old! Does this mean my story actually has some what of a plot? No. But I hope you still like it!
Chapter 4: Fights and Arguments
Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, and the rest sat around the fire a night after. They listened as Rae-orri told of the Demons of Old, and of how she has to recollect them, lest the world fall into darkness. By the time she had finished, everyone listening fell silent.
Tao's annoyed voice broke the silence, "That still doesn't explain why Inuyasha must 'join you on your quest'." Her voice went high in mock of Rae- orri at the last quote.
"Mmph!" A look of discontempt graced Rae-orri's face, "It's a little thing called responsibility! Not that you would know anything about it!"
Tao's anger burned a-new.
"Inuyasha is the one who broke the whip; therefore he is the one who must fix it."
"He'll do no such thing!"
Both teens stood and advanced (A/N: Rae-orri is 13. Tao looks to be 15, but no one really knows how old she is.)
The group exchanged looks of weary looks. Sango stood in between the fiery combatants,"We've had enough trouble from you two for today." She went over to Tao-zen and firmly pushed her into a sitting position. Miroku went towards Rae-orri, intending to do the same. Unfortunately for him, a rock was sitting discretely in his path. His foot caught on it and he tumbled down to the ground. His hand caught on a 'bump' as he pulled himself up.
Rae-orri's eyes grew to the size of balloons. "Hentai!" Her hand rocketed to make contact with Miroku's face. "Keep your leeching hands off my ass!"
If Sango was a demon her eyes would have grown red with anger. "You baka! She's only 13!" A giant boomerang hit Miroku squarely on the head.
Everyone eventually calmed down; though it took a while to get Shippou and Tao to stop laughing.
The odd silence was broken by a hanyou's growing curiosity. "Tao?"
"Hmm?" she replied, breaking from the anger filled staring contest with Rae-orri.
"Why the hell are you wearing my kimono?"
Everyone turned to Tao. Her permanently flushed cheeks (A/N: Your cheeks would be flushed to if different temperatured winds surrounded you.) went pinker. "Well... umm... you see. It was her!" A claw extended towards a shocked Rae-orri.
"I didn't do anything!" Rae-orri gave Inuyasha a puppy dog look.
Inuyasha looked from confused green eyes to pleading blue ones. ~What's going on here? ~
"Inuyasha! I found her 'cuddling' your cloak while you lay there dieing."
"I need fire rat fur for my grandpa's medicine!"
~Can't they go five minutes without fighting? ~
"I don't care!"
~All I know is that Tao is the one wearing the kimono. ~
Inuyasha's fist came swinging down at Tao's head.
"Oww..."
"Serves you right, keeping my kimono."
"I was cold."
"You're a freaking dragon! Breathe yourself a fire!"
"Not all dragons are fire dragons! I happen to be a wind dragon."
"I know that! I'm not a moron!"
"That remains to be seen."
Inuyasha growled manically.
"But you can keep your stupid kimono." Tao flung the said piece of clothing at Inuyasha and stormed off.
"Somebody should go after her," Kagome piped.
Inuyasha frowned. "I had to go last time."
Sango stood with a sigh, "I'll go after her. Come Kirara." She walked along the stream after the steaming dragoness. She had lots of practice calming people, after meeting Inuyasha.
Everyone else regained their spots around the circle. An ominous silence filled the air.
Miroku finally spoke up, "Can you tell us more about the Demons of Old Rae-orri?"
Reluctance flowed through her mind, but was eventually overcome by the need for friends and help. Rae-orri sighed inwardly. "The Demons of Old were locked away in this whip ages ago by the miko Sarukki. Some terrorized the world; others were forced to do harm by those of darkness. Each one has different powers. One fire; another earth. They are all dangerous in their own way. I asked Inuyasha to help me because..."
She was cut off by a blue streak. She was toppled over and now soaked. "What the fu..."
Gasps filled the camp. Rae-orri looked up to wide mouthed and eyes.
"What is she?" Kagome whispered as she moved towards Rae-orri. She calmly placed herself beside the soaked girl. Seeing Rae-orri's confusion, she reached down to the blue girl that was crying profoundly on Rae-orri's lap.
Rae-orri looked down at the blue girl. Bubbles and seaweed adorned her turquoise hair. Her skin was a light sky blue, which turned to dark blue scales near her thigh. She was clothed with rich shades of blue and silky materials.
"Coral," Rae-orri muttered softly. She stroked the young demons hair until Coral ceased her crying. "What happened?"
The demon raised her head so that her eyes met Rae-orri's. She then looked at Kagome, who was still sitting nearby with a concerned look on her face. Kagome took one look at the girl and her jaw dropped even further. A fly could have flown into her mouth and she wouldn't have noticed.
The girl had shark-like teeth that looked as though they could bite through steel. On her forehead was a navy blue tear drop marking. Her ears had the same flannel webbed look as Tao's dragon ears. Her eyes were a shocking aqua. As Kagome looked into those eyes she felt her mind slip away.
She saw a white sand beach and seagulls flying freely. In front of her was a deep, clear sea. She had a sudden urge to jump in and allow the sea to consume her.
Kagome snapped her eyes away, breathing heavily. No one noticed. Their eyes were transfixed on the blue demon.
Rae-orri broke everyone's train of thoughts. "This is Coral. She is the Water Demon, and one of the Demons that escaped when the whip broke."
"She's one of the Demons?!" Inuyasha pondered aloud, "She's not dangerous."
Kagome remembered what had just happened when she had looked into Coral's eyes and shivered. "Danger is in the eye of the beholder."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
Kagome looked away; not sure what she meant.
Rae-orri's calm voice brought everyone back on track. "Please tell me what's wrong Coral. I want to help you." She gave the water demon a small smile.
After a few whimpers Coral finally spoke up. "He attacked me. All I did was ask him if he wanted to play with me, and he attacked me." Her voice was bubbly and soft. Two more tears slid down her cheek. "May I go home now, Sarukki?"
Miroku and Kagome gasped, as Inuyasha and Shippou sat there with baffled expressions.
Rae-orri, however, took no notice of them and continued on coolly. "Yes child," she patted down Coral's damp hair and wiped her eyes, "You may return."

Sango and Kirara caught up with a now fuming Tao. ~Wind dragon! I'm a WIND dragon. Do I look like a fire dragon? ~ Tao looked herself over from head to toe and sighed. ~ I guess I do. ~ Her face fell.
Sango brushed branches out of her way, as she and Kirara jumped over the random fallen tree. "Tao!" The dragoness swung herself around towards the demon exterminator. "Are you ok?"
Tao's eyes softened. She would never harm her friends (She only argues ;)). "I'm better now Sango. I just need to get my anger out."
Sango sympathized for the younger (or is it older????) girl. "I see," she said. "Tao? Is it because of your demon blood? It seems to me that you are more aggressive then Inuyasha. Is it because as a ¾ demon you are more affected by the smaller things? Is it really so hard to control."
Tao looked into Sango's concerned eyes and felt a pang of guilt. "I make it harder then it should be. If I wasn't such a hothead, it wouldn't be so bad." She smiled meekly at her new friend.
"I understand. I just wish you didn't take it out on the trees, but I'm glad you cooled down."
An icy voice cut the conversation short. "There's more then one way to cool down."
Sango, Tao, and Kirara scanned the area. "Who's there?" Sango demanded.
A white streak to her right caught Tao's eyes. She spun and flew towards it; claws outstretched and ready to attack.
"Not so fast little draggling," the voice mocked. White bursts of energy came from the area where the streak was last seen. The power hit Tao's wing, freezing them solid and sending her crashing to the ground. Sango threw her boomerang with anger. It got frozen and fell halfway to her target.
"Kirara! Go get the others!" Sango dodged freezing blasts and made her way towards an unconscious Tao.
DFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDFDF
Rae-orri reached for her whip. Instead she looked up to see a large Kirara running towards the group. Everyone turned to Kirara as she paused, then swung her head motioning for them to follow.
Rae-orri looked down at Coral. "Can you wait a bit longer to go back?" The girl nodded and Rae-orri and Rae-orri set her on top of Kirara with Shippou.
Kirara led the way as a hanyou, a hoshi, and a Chi-warrior followed not far behind. They raced through the forest, towards an unconscious Tao and a frozen solid Sango.
Coral and Shippou jumped off Kirara as the large cat ran to her master's aid. Miroku followed suit and positioned himself as Tao's guard. Rae-orri drew her whip. She stood in front of Coral and Shippou, ready to protect them at all costs. Inuyasha stepped forward and drew the Tetsuaiga.
A strange demon stepped out from the shadow of a nearby tree. A mocking smile graced his snow white skin. His light grey sparkled as though it were a clean sheet of ice. His white and light blue kimono flowed in the cold wind. He had a heart-chilling stare that could put Sesshomaru to shame. (Not that Fluffy has anything to be ashamed of.)
His cold voice broke through the tension like a knife through butter, "Sarukki; you have allied yourself. How unlike you," his eyes twinkled manically, "Now you shall watch them die at my feet."
"I am not Sarukki. I am Rae-orri; she was my ancestor." Everyone looked confused, but the demon simply stepped forward.
"I am Riikki, the Demon of Ice. Years ago you betrayed me and trapped me in that whip. I have spent the past 500 years planning your demise, my revenge. I swore that I would be your down fall. I know you better then anyone else Sarukki. Did you really think you could fool me by giving yourself a new name? I will be your downfall!" With blinding rage he pelted his icy blasts t Rae-orri. Her feet froze, sticking her in one spot "Perhaps you are right. Sarukki could have blocked that easily. You are nothing but a worthless nigen."
He charged, only to be blocked by the Tetsuaiga, and an angry hanyou. "Forget about me? You'll never get a chance to forget again." The two attacked and blocked with great ferousity until finally the Tetsuaiga was frozen and made too heavy. "You bastard!" Riikki then continued to freeze Miroku waste down, as well as fully freeze Kirara and Shippou. Coral eyes watered as she ran behind a tree.
"Calm down. He is strong, but arrogant." Coral peered up at Kagome. The miko nodded toward Riikki, who was still facing-off with Inuyasha.
Rae-orri spotted Kagome and a wave of relief overflowed her. ~Thank God she's back! Back? Where did she go in the first place? Rae-orri gave Kagome a questioning look.
Kagome simply notched an arrow to her bow and took aim.
~Where is she aiming? Riikki isn't over there? ~ As soon as Rae-orri thought this the fight was moved to where Kagome was aiming. A pink light gathered around the arrow. Coral's eyes grew big in awe; her mouth opened dumbfounded. Kagome let go of the string. Her arrow soared through the air.
~She might hit Inuyasha if she's not careful! I hope her aim is better then what Inuyasha says it is! ~
Rae-orri's restlessness was put to ease as she peered up at Kagome. ~She knows she's not going to miss. This is not the same girl that I talked to at the camp fire! Something's changed, but what? ~
Kagome's arrow penetrated through Riikki's kimono. Both demon and hanyou looked astonished. Riikki was pinned to the tree as the arrow forced him back.
"You missed," was all the stunned Inuyasha could master.
Kagome responded, her voice emotionless, "The Demons of Old cannot be killed by a mere arrow." Everyone stared at her in wonder.
Inuyasha made a move towards her. His face showed obvious worry. "Kagome?" he whispered.
But Kagome's mind was else where. "Rae-orri, you must recapture Riikki while you still have a chance. My arrow will not hold out much longer."
Rae-orri sat there, dumbstruck, for a few moments before catching on. She gave Kagome a nod of understanding then pulled out her whip. Her voice became monotone, yet captivating.
"Now that the miko has been killed. Soon thy destiny be fulfilled. To capture the potent Demons of Old. Return now to your home in my hold. Riikki the Ice Demon!"
She lashed out her now glowing whip. It wrapped around Riikki. A bright light blue light filled the clearing.
Riikki's eyes grew in surprise. "I swore I would kill you, Sarukki. But now you have over came me yet again. Just please know, I forgive you." His face gentled. With an assuring nod the light grew. Riikki and the light faded into the Chi-whip.
Rae-orri sighed and smiled to her new-found friends.
Kagome's sight went black, as her body hit the cold ground.

A/N: Well that's all for now. Review or flame if you like. The plot will develop. For example, what changed Kagome? Why do the cards insist on calling Rae-orri Sarukki? Why does Tao like to cut down trees? When will I shut up? All will be answered in the following chapters.
Poll: What would the best pairing be?
Kagome and Inuyasha, DUH! Shippou and Coral; they would be so cute together No pairings, keep it simple Tao-zen and Koga; they both hate Inuyasha. .
Claimer: All I own is Tao and Rae-orri, and Coral. *sobs in corner*
