A.N.: Here I am, finally updating my Inuyasha fic. Gomen nasi for the wait,
but, I just didn't have inspiration, if you know what I mean, and I was
waiting for people to send me ideas for the OC, and I did get one :) but,
only one. I was kinda hopin' for more outta you guys... nari nari.... In other
things, Bri: I tried you're idea of listening to Kenshin's Theme over and
over and over and over again for inspiration. Wheeeee........
The Character is...Fenaux!!! The kick-ass chick submitted by none other than Inuyasha's Daily! (Decision made: 07/5/2004 4:24:13 PM...if you care) Here's the review:
Fenaux= 7' tall, black hair like Inu's when human,
blood red eyes, change to black when injured or pissed, wears black tank, black pants, summons any weapons possible and can also make them disappear... female/Inuyasha Personality
I may change a few details here and there, or alter the disappearing weapons thingy, but, other than that....
Now, on with the story!
The End of the Triangle: Chapter 5
"Who the hell are you?" Inuyasha asked snidely. His assumption had been correct; the newcomer was a woman, and a pretty one at that. Miroku had wasted no time scooting closer to her than what would be normal.
The woman slowly raised her gaze to meet his glaring one. "Houshi (monk), who the hell is this?" She nodded her head toward the dog hanyou, but didn't avert her gaze. Her eyes were blood-red (like Hiei's), cunning, and silently mocking and Inuyasha didn't like that. He felt like she was scanning him, checking him out, and that was just weird.
Miroku coughed, eyes all wide and buggy. "Oh, you're back." He withdrew a hand that was just about to do its usual duty. "Inuyasha this is Yoippari Fenaux-san. Fenaux, this is Inuyasha," he used his hand to indicate Inuyasha.
"Fenaux-SAN?" Inuyasha tapped his toes on the ground. He briefly wondered if Miroku had asked her to bare his child yet.
"Inuyasha? Then you really are the hanyou I've been searching for," Fenaux sighed. She stood up and stretched, with her arms high in the air.
Inuyasha's eyes got all big, and he had to stop himself from taking a step back. Sitting down, Fenaux looked about the same size as Miroku or perhaps Inuyasha, but standing up was a totally different matter. She was almost seven feet tall, with long legs hidden under her pitch-black haori pants (like Inuyasha's) and slender bare feet poking out the cuffs. She wore a kind of tank top, with fluffy folds of cloth that kind of draped over her shoulders for sleeves, and a hem that was about six inches above her pants line. Her hair was long and was midnight black, kept in a high ponytail, spare two pieces that hung behind her ears and over her shoulders, and a dark black feather adorning the ponytail's end. Her ears were pointed like an elf's, with big hoop earrings and smaller studs at the top.
The only visible weapon that Fenaux carried was a single lengthened katana. She didn't really look too overly dangerous, but Inuyasha could sense a sort of eerie aura wafting off of her...a sign that he didn't want to start of on her bad side.
(A.N.: IF YOU WANT A PICTURE, GIVE ME YOU'RE E-MAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL SEND IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I know the reviewer who designed her, and she gave me permission to draw Fenaux...)
Miroku took another swig of his Mountain Dew. Kagome glanced sideways at him, noticing that there were several empty cans littered on the ground. "Enjoying yourself, monk??"
Miroku looked at her, then at the soda. "Huh? Oh, hai...this drink, it's so flavorful, so bubbly, so very tasty Kagome, I hope you don't mind, but I have one, or two...or perhaps three...or four...." He babbled, looking quite pleased.
Kagome looked a little taken aback. "Uh, Miroku? You do realize that stuff is pure sugar and caffeine, ne?"
"Really? I hadn't noticed," Miroku smiled again as he adjusted sitting on the log next to Fenaux, tapping his toes to an unseen beat all the while.
"You're twitching," Kagome remarked.
"Really? I hadn't noticed," he repeated.
Meanwhile, back with Inuyasha and his little conversation: "Really, me? Why have you sought me out?"
Fenaux looked down at the ground. "Honestly, it's because I need help. You see, even as being a raven youkai, I cannot defeat the evil which has plagued my family."
'Whoa,' Inuyasha thought. When he first saw her, she had seemed kind of piercing, and high-and-mighty...but now, a certain sadness had almost entered her gaze.
Kagome, knowing that she herself was far better at communicating with strangers than Inuyasha was, decided to step in. "What evil?"
Fenaux looked up at her. "Well, it's troubling. He was kidnapper by a group of powerful youkai. His future is a dim one, I'm afraid."
"Your brother, eh?" Inuyasha repeated, sitting down on a log parallel to the one that Fenaux was sitting on. "And you say you can't get him back on your own?"
Fenaux nodded. Inuyasha turned away from her and whispered to Kagome, "I don't like this. It sounds like another Good Samaritan act to me. Now look what's happened, they've started SEEKING ME OUT." He was none to pleased. This didn't even sound like a case where Shikon no Tama shards were involved.
"But it's not like she wasn't polite...reasonably," Kagome said, shaking her head.
"I think that we should help," Miroku said, crushing the now-empty Mt. Dew cans in his hand.
"You would," another voice said. Sango had sat up, rolling Miroku's purple robe back in on itself. "You hentai you." Sango sounded more playful than serious, but Miroku knew he could never be sure.
Fenaux spun around, glaring at Sango, taking her in as she had Inuyasha and Kagome. The thin human emitted a great deal of power and grace. She would be a great deal of help in the search for Yoippari Ashitaka...
Her ten-year-old brother that had been stolen late in the night. His kidnappers were members of the Cougar youkai tribes that lived way up north, in the mountains. There was no mistaking their giant paw prints they left around the nest-looking hut where the Yoipparis lived.
"So...what exactly happened?" Kagome asked.
"It was because of the mountain youkai...those who call themselves the Cougar. They're very strong and determined youkai, but they are also very lazy."
"Lazy?" Inuyasha asked, not sure of what that had to do with Fenaux's brother's disappearance.
"Hai. Meaning they have great underground cities and beautiful underground parks, statues and fountains, but they don't build them. They don't do any of the work at all. They capture humans and weak youkai to work for them as slaves in the architecture and farming duties. I'm afraid that's where they've taken my brother, Ashitaka."
"Your brother was older then, old enough to be put to work." Miroku looked all full of caring.
"Not really. He had barely turned ten...not yet old enough to work on our family's canoe business even." Fenaux looked down at the ground. Kagome couldn't tell if she was about to cry or bite someone's head off, or both. Kagome could already kind of sense a similarity between Inuyasha and the new girl...they had a temper.
Without saying anything, Kagome took a sideways glance at Sango. She too had had a younger brother stolen from her, to live out the rest of his life in slavery. But Kohaku's duties weren't to work on a farm or build temples...his were to be loyal absolute to the evil Naraku, and that often meant slaughtering hundreds of innocent villagers.
Sango pursed her lips tightly, keeping them in a flat line. Kagome could only guess what she was thinking.
"Why us?" Inuyasha was blunt as always. Though he understood the need for the stopping of these Cougar youkai and their use of slavery, he still wasn't convinced why HE had to be the one always running around, chasing the bad guys.
"As I was traveling to the Chuushin Mountain, the capital of all the Cougar's great cities, I came across a small village less than two kilometers away from here. As I was searching for someone to sell me some rice, there was an old woman there selling healing herbs. She told me that there was a group of traveling warriors she knew that would be happy to help me in my quest.
Inuyasha had a sinking sensation. Kagome perked her head up. "This woman. What did she look like?" she asked.
"As I said: Old. Shorter. Red hakuma with a red gi. Oh, and she had a patch over her left eye," Fenaux said, snapping her fingers and pointing to her own eye.
"Damn that old hag," Inuyasha muttered.
"It must have been Kaede-sama," Miroku mused. "She does know of our great achievements and strength."
"Yo houshi, don't let it go to your head," Fenaux warned. "She did say you were powerful, but I haven't seen anything yet. I ask you to accompany me on my quest. Have no fear, you will be rewarded."
Inuyasha just sighed. Kagome looked thoughtful, whereas Sango seemed lost in her own little world. Miroku laughed, and scooted even closer to the raven demon. "Don't worry about it. Traveling in the company of even more beautiful woman is more than enough for me." He had picked up her hand and started stroking it.
Fenaux kind of half-blinked. "Excuse me?"
Sango rolled her eyes. "Don't worry about him." She picked up her Hiraikotsu. "Sometimes you just need to give him a good whack." She closed her eyes as she demonstrated, allowing the giant boomerang to come thudding down on the back of Miroku's head.
"Ow...Sango..." Miroku whined. But he did pull away as he spotted Sango's 'I'm- not-thrilled-in-the-least' expression.
"Heh-heh," he rubbed his head, closing his eyes happily. "A monk's gotta do what a monk's gotta do." He shrugged.
"YOU don't HAVE to DO anything," Sango grumbled. She picked up the Hiraikotsu again, and tossed the houshi back his robe. "I have decided that we should help her," she said, turning to Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Nan---Nani?? But why? Do you really need a reward that badly," he turned away, crossing his arms. "Honestly, Sango I'd figure that would be beneath you!"
Sango growled. Kagome placed a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder, forcing him to turn and look at her. "Inuyasha...this is a chance to help not only one, but a lot of people abused by these Cougars. Don't you think THAT is a good enough reason?" Inwardly Kagome wondered if perhaps Sango was taking this personally, replacing Fenaux's brother in her own head with Kohaku.
Inuyasha replied, "Keh! All I seem to be doing lately is HELPING people? What'd they ever do for me?"
Kagome stared at him disappointedly. She turned away from him, poking Shippo, who had somehow slept through this entire ordeal, awaking him. Miroku was standing, staring at the hanyou, waiting for his too to get off his duff. Fenaux was looking a bit perturbed herself.
"Oh, Inuyasha," Kagome started, still facing away from Inuyasha, allowing Shippo to jump groggily onto one of her shoulders.
"What now? You've tried reasoning, what else have you got?"
'Dear Kami, he's sounding like a three-year-old again,' Kagome mentally grated. "Hai, true, reasoning rarely works on you." She turned around, all squinty-eyed and scary looking.
Inuyasha got these great big eyes.
Kagome opened her mouth. "O...su...wa..."
"Ep!" Inuyasha ducked down close to the ground, putting his hands over his head. "Stop! Stop! Dammit, I'll go! Do you really think all the violence is necessary?!"
Kagome grinned. "I knew you'd come around...."
A.N.: There. That's it for this chappie. I really think that I hit something here, and have high hopes for this to be a dynamic and exciting story for a while yet. I thought of this really kick-ass plot. Err, at least I hope so... Whaddaya think?
Please review, tell me what you liked, what you didn't like. I game for that. Flames will not be tolerated. Spamming will ensue.
I'll try and update as soon as possible. Gomen nasi if I can't.
Now, wait patiently (try at least) for the next chapter. While you're waiting, check out some of the other stories I'm writing! I'm posting three new ones as soon as I get the chance. After you're done peaking around there, you could read my bio. I've got movie updates, online anime/manga/video game sites, and some of the best Anime Music Video Download Sites.
