Disclaimer 2: This chapter gets pretty verbal... damn... Okami's a real mean villain...

Choice Winner: ~Rici sprints off towards where she thinks the storm is coming from. It's raining... It's pouring... the cat just crapped and it smells in here! omg seriously I'm gonna barf!

-------------------------------------------------------

Without warning, Rici dashed off leaving the others behind. Her feet hit the ground hard as she sprinted closer and closer to the eye of the storm.

"Rici!? COME BACK!" Sango shouted, but her voice was lost in the howling wind that surrounded everything. The rain was pouring so hard that it stung the skin. Shippo squealed when the bullet droplets hit him and he hopped into Kagome's arms.

"WHERE IS SHE GOING?!" he yelled into Kagome's ear. Even with the kitsune screaming she could barely here him.

"I'M NOT SURE!" Kagome screamed back and mounted her bike. Kirara grew to her full demon size and Sango and Miroku got on her. Inu Yasha got on the back of Kagome's bike and shielded himself from the rain with his haori's sleeve. They all decided to follow after her to make sure she would be all right.

***Sesshomaru Inc... 2 hours before***

The odd group that consisted of two youkai and one hanyou had been walking for hours on end. Jaken was unconscious in the mud. The sun was beginning to rise and Sesshomaru was getting edgy.

"Fly faster Angel. We need to get there NOW." he commanded and picked up his pace. Angel, who was already going her top speed, was panting unbelievably. It was nearly impossible to go as fast as he was when Angie was riding. When they got to the peak, no one was there. Sesshomaru landed gracefully and Angel collapsed, making Angie fly off her back. The tai- youkai untensed his arms, relieved that Okami wasn't there. '...okay...when is she coming?' he thought and glanced around. The cliff was a narrow one, with a seemingly bottomless drop. The only sign of life from miles around was a huge cherry tree. The mountains in the distance were turning lighter and lighter with the dawn approaching.
The peak of the farthest mountain was getting brighter. Right as the neon red sun peaked over the mountain, a puff of blue and purple smoke began to form in front of the group. It billowed bigger and bigger shooting sparks everywhere. The two sisters stepped back and gawked as the swirling ball of smoke turned into a girl.
Her hair was short and black with a purple beaded headband. Her eyes flashed with emotion from deep greens to brilliant oranges. She had a top that resembled Yura's, but baggy bottoms like Sesshomaru's, only deep purple. Her faces had pink eyeshadow and atop of her head were black wolf ears. She was no doubt a wolf hanyou. She grinned menacingly and landed to the ground gracefully.

"So Sesshomaru... do you have my girl?" she hissed. Angie paled and hid behind a rock. The woman pointed a finger at the rock and a purple streak of lightning shot out, disintegrating it. Angie yipped and stood there in fear. The woman's smile pierced Angie's eyes and she shuddered.

"...Okami..." she muttered and stood up bravely.

"Ah... so you remember me... how pleasant. So how is your mother since I last saw her...oh yes...she's dead!" Okami tormented as she circled Angie. Angie stood nearly still but wanted to rip her throat out. Her eye began to twitch because she was holding back her anger. '...self control... I need self-control...' she thought balling her hands into fists. '...so this is the bitch who killed Angie's mother...?' Angel thought and remembered her parents. Her mother and father were both dead, as well... but Angel didn't know why or how it happened. It was so common these days for murders that you might as well give up hope for dying peacefully in your sleep. Okami looked over at Angel and narrowed her eyes.

"And you must be Angel...never met your father and you only knew of your mother since you were a kitten... how sad... your father was a major player. Knocks up one, leaves them, nails another... I'm not surprised if he died fucking your mother..." she spoke sinisterly. '...how could someone be this...this... disgusting... ' Angel thought and clenched her teeth. "...but nope... I killed him too. How's your other sister? Does she have any shards? I should kill her too... wipe your pathetic father's name from the Earth...." she said angered. '...whoa... she doesn't like our dad at all...' Angel thought and narrowed her brow.

"And what did he do to you? It's not like you just would want to kill our family." Angie spoke bravely. Okami glared at her and disappeared, then appearing behind her.

"What do you need to know that for? I want revenge and that's all you need to know. Now you can ask him in hell!" she shouted and slashed at Angie who barely dodged it. Sesshomaru caught Angie by the collar of her kimono and held her close. Okami narrowed her eyes at him. "What's the deal Sesshomaru? I need her now give her back!" she said approaching the hanyou in his arms. He squeezed her shoulder and held Angie closer. Sesshomaru kept his emotionless face and glared at her.

"Where's Rin...?" He half asked half commanded, holding on tighter to Angie. She looked up at him with her big brown eyes with curiosity. '...if he hands me over there will be hell to pay...' she thought and she grabbed the arm that was holding her and she held it close. Okami narrowed her brow and sighed in impatience. Then with a puff of smoke, she was gone. A few moments later, Okami appeared before the three and held something behind her back. She smirked and pulled it out. In her arms was an unconscious Rin. Sesshomaru tensed and squeezed Angie hard by accident, causing her to squirm. Okami let Rin fall to the ground with a thud, waking her from her unconscious state.

"Sesshie-sama...?" the little girl muttered and rubbed her head. Without warning, Okami dove for Angie, grabbing her right arm and pulling her away from Sesshomaru's grasp. Sesshomaru looked at Rin and then Angie like a whipped puppy, not knowing who to help. From behind Sesshomaru, Angel flew to her sister and started swiping at Okami with her staff. Okami skillfully, evaded every blow, pulling Angie along for the ride.

"LET *swipe* HER *swing* GO!" Angel shouted between blows.

"You're *block* wasting *dodge* your energy!" Okami shouted and pointed at Angel, her finger glowing a deep purple. There was a zapping noise and then a bolt of purple lightening shot out and hit Angel's wing.
She screamed and plummeted down the canyon. She tried hopelessly to flap her wings but her right wing was brutally injured. She screamed again, but this time from anger. She pointed her staff to the ground that was appearing fast. Her eyes rolled back into her head and glowed neon blue. From her the top of her staff, a blue bolt of lightening roared and shot the ground, making her fly upward and to the ridge. She flew up fast, into the clouds and out of sight. She then held the rod above her head and swung it around madly. She screeched from the energy being absorbed from her body and into her staff, which was now glowing a bright azure. Her eyes glowed with hatred as she twirled the pole.
From below, only loud cries were heard and a blue glow radiates the clouds above. But none of the opponents took much notice, they were to busy sizing each other up. Nor did they notice when the soft morning skies began to turn nearly black with rage. Rain began to pour harshly and the wind picked up. The glowing and hollering from above grew louder as Angel dove at Okami. She screamed a loud war cry and swiped at Okami with her staff. The end of the staff was rather sharp and it ripped through Okami's cheek. She cried out in pain and flung Angie into Sesshomaru, holding her abrasion.

"YOU BITCH!" She shrieked and held her hands at her sides in a fighting pose, her eyes turning a raging orange.

"Wrong species doll!" Angel yelled back and dove at her again, ready for a second attack. Okami smirked and pointed her finger at the youkai. Angel dodged the attack-to-be. But instead of shooting Angel, she changed course and dove for Rin.

"SESSHOMARU-SAMA! PLEASE SAVE RIN!" Rin squeaked as a hand clamped over her throat. She wiggled around, ringing her small hands around Okami's arm. Then with a sick CRACK, Rin went limp and stopped struggling. Everyone's' heart stopped. Then Okami proceeded with the mauling by ripping through the child, mangling every blood inch of her body. Sesshomaru tensed and stopped breathing. Angie looked up at the man who was holding her. '...it looks as though he's going to have a heart attack...' she thought and winced when Sesshomaru's claws dug into her shoulders, drawing blood.

" YOU DON'T *rip* GO AGAINST MY BIDDING *slash* SESSHOMARU!" Okami shouted and grinned, her eyes now an evil green. She was enjoying every part of his expression. She walked over to the side of the cliff and with one last glance at Sesshomaru, she disappeared in a puff of purple smoke, letting Rin fall to the bottom of the canyon.
Sesshomaru ran to the edge and dove off of the cliff, plummeting towards the child's body. He caught her just before she hit the ground. He flew to the top of the peak again and landed smoothly. Despite the fact that he knew she was far to mangled to rebirth... he unsheathed his Tensaiga anyway. '...it HAS to work...she HAS to live...' he thought as he slashed at her body hopelessly, spraying blood all over. Finding no hope left, the proud youkai dropped to his knees and picked up the lifeless body in his arms. He gritted his teeth holding back his pain. Angel landed beside him. She gingerly touched his shoulder and rubbed it with her thumb. '...this has to be killing him...' She thought and kneeled beside him and looked at his face.

"...damn it.. you can cry if you want to..." Angel spoke softly. He placed Rin's body on the ground in front of him and sheathed the Tensaiga. Then he sat back down on his knees. Before he knew it, he was being embraced in a soothing hug. Angel rubbed his back and his breathe was stuttered like someone who had just cried for hours. The rain became a silent drizzle as Angel released her grip. Sesshomaru looked at her and she blushed a bit before standing. "Well... the good news is I can help your little girl here..." Angel said while picking up her staff. Sesshomaru froze. Was she joking?

"Why didn't you tell me that before you hugged me?" Sesshomaru said cocking an eyebrow.

"I just felt so bad I wanted to hug you... what's wrong with a little sympathy?" Angel sighed and held the top of her staff over the little girl's mangled body. The staff began to glow yet again, and the rain stopped abruptly. Sesshomaru stood up and watched in interest. '...maybe this girl will be of some use after all...' he thought and fixed his gi. Angie walked from behind Sesshomaru and stood behind him. He turned to her and she smiled a little.

"Don't worry... she's good at this kinda stuff..." she said politely and turned to face her sister. Angel was waving her staff above the little girl's bloody body and began to chant quietly. The staff grew brighter with every word. Then she stopped moving the staff and her eyes rolled back into her head and began to glow with the same luminance as her rod. She gritted her teeth as though she was in pain. She began to sweat and she winced as the staff finally lit up to a blinding light, illuminating Angel and Rin in the process. They began to float in the air with the staff between them. After holding it back a while, she screamed a blood curtailing scream as Rin began to piece together.
First, every droplet of blood that had been spilled hovered into her various wounds. Once every drop of blood resided in it's place, the skin began to repair, like zipping up a coat. Angel continued crying out as Rin's head began to rock from side to side and finally shot straight up, cracking it back into place. Her clothes began to weave back together as the pair began to float to the ground. All at once, Rin opened her eyes and stepped to the ground, but Angel just dropped. Before she hit the ground, Sesshomaru grabbed her unconscious figure. Rin blinked and rubbed her eyes, then looked up at her 'father.'

"Sesshomaru-sama? What happened to Rin?" she spoke softly looking down upon her body. He didn't say anything, but looked at her, astonished that but five minutes ago she was dead as a doornail. He smiled warmly and ruffled her hair.

"Come on Rin. We should leave this place." Sesshomaru said and, holding onto Angel, walked over to Angie, happy that he had his daughter back.

"Why doesn't she say Otou-san? Or Sesshie-san? Why must she call you Sesshomaru-sama?" Angie asked quitely. He looked down at her and grinned a slight bit. Angie looked up at him and cocked an eyebrow. "Well?" she queried again but to no avail. He continued to walk with Angel wrapped closely in his arms. Rin and Angie followed.
