Chapter Ten: Meeting Yoko Again

(about 45-50 years later)

I sighed. For the third time this month I was alone. Alone to enjoy the full moon, the winter air, and the snow that fell and made everyone happy. "Stupid meetings." I said a little angry. "Why do they have them anyway? And why can't women go." I said cleaning for no aparent reason. "I mean it's like 10 at night. Where would they hold a meeting anyway?"

"Talking to yourself again Tara?"

I turned half expecting to see my love, but..."Oh hi Setsuna" I said sounding somewhat disappointed.

She laughed. "Well don't jump up and be happy." She sat. I sat too. "It is at the bar."

"What is?" I asked dumbfounded

She rolled her eyes. "The meeting. You wanted to know where the meeting was being held. It is at the bar."

I shook my head. "Men. You can tame them..."

"..But you can't train them." She finished. We both laughed. Then we heard some noises out side.

"Did you here that?" She asked getting up to look out the kitchen window.

"HmMm. Come on lets see what or who is out there." We went outside. It was beautiful. Full moon, snow covered land, cloudless, star filled sky, and a spy what more could you ask for?

"Who's out here?" I asked.

"Yea we demand to know." Setsuna said looking at me then out into the night.

It was silent. Nothing. But then something caught my eye. It was silver. "I'll be right back Setsuna. If Rin comes home tell him I went for a walk." I said running to the forest. She tried to protest but I was gone in a flash, really I was.

I stopped running and I was walking. Of course by now though I was deep into the forest. "I must be at least half through." I said in a low tone. I kept walking. I was amazed because I was never this far into these woods and found myself at a undescribable place. I was like I moved back in time. There was a small 3 to 5 foot water fall that led to a small shallow pond which then led to a small stream. It was all so captivating in the moonlight. "Beautiful" I said in awe.

I heard a twig snap to my left and I was alert. "Who's there?" I yelled.

There was a small chuckle. "I should be asking you that question." It was a male I could tell but he stayed hidden within shadows so I couldn't view him. "So I will." He continued.

I narrowed my eyes. "None of your business." I brushed some of my hair back. I sensed his power rising. "Now now now. No need to get angry because someone won't follow your rules." I teased.

He was about to step out of shadow but a small throat clearing stopped him. "She's toying with you." His voice was like silk. "I'll take care of her, you can go." I looked toward his voice which was also to my left. I now had my back to the waterfall scene.

I noticed his power level as the one outside the cottage window. "So you're the demon that was out spying."

"Maybe I was." He said. "Do you have a name."

"Why would I tell my name to someone I haven't even seen?"

He didn't say anything but 'do you have a name' again. I sighed not saying anything. We stood there for about ten minutes. He wasn't going to give. "Stubborn aren't we?"

"Hmph" Was all he said.

I rolled my eyes. "Fine. The name's Tara. Yours?"

(Yoko's pov)

For a moment she was acting like my stubborn little 7 year old niece. But when she said her name was Tara I could've died. "Tara?" I said.

"Yea that's what I said. And your name would be?" She said.

/Tara/ I thought. This was my little Tara. All those years of thievery and harded heart melted away when I looked at her. She did look like my niece, just older. She was like I remembered, long silver and purple hair, and gold eyes. Like mine. I looked back up from my memory to see that she was gone. I looked all around but didn't see her. So I sniffed her out.

(Tara's pov)

"Ugh. I will never go deep in the forest at night again." I said walking back home. I was out of the forest and in the meadow when I finally . "Could you stop following me and just come out." He jumped out of a tree and landed softly on the ground. He was in light this time so I could see him and I was taken back. The man that stood 10 feet from me was....was "Uncle Yoko?" I said no louder then a whisper. A small tear fell from my eye.

But I got angry again and narrowed my eyes. "Who are you?"

He smirked. I believe you know that question already. I straightened up. More tears fell from my eyes and I saw that he was crying a little too. But unlike his mine were angry mixed emotioned. "Where have you been?" I yelled through my tears.

"Looking for you and your siblings." He said coming closer.

I bit my lower lip. "Well you found us."

"I have missed you kids." He said now only 5 feet from me. Our golden eyes meeting.

"We've missed you too." I said back.

"This is kind of strange." He said half laughing.

"Yea I know. Meeting like this after some 49 years or so." I stepped foward and grabbed his hand. I looked up into those similiar eyes that we shared. They held so much. "Will you be staying now that you've found us?"

He gasped. "No. I can't." He removed his hand from mine. Some new emotion in his voice.

"Tara!" Setsuna called, breaking the nice little scene between me and my uncle. (A/N:not in that way)

I raised myself some so I could kiss Yoko on the cheek. "Take care of yourself then, Uncle Yoko."

"You too." He was already in the forest. "Bye"

"Bye" I whispered.

"Tara!" Setsuna said catching her breath.

"What is it?" I asked. Hearing worry in her voice.

"We're not prepared. We've been ambushed. There battling."

"What?"

"Ura's men. There here. Himura and the team is trying there best to keep them out of the town but they're out number." She said breathless.

"Come on." Worry rose in me as I grabbed her arm and ran.

(Yoko's pov)

I stopped 20 feet away to listen to there conversation. /Screw Ura. That good for nothing youkai. And why the change of name?/ I thought.

"Yoko" said a dark voice. "Did you hear that?"

"Which part, Hiei?"

"The part about them being to busy to mind some thieves."

I was silent. I couldn't steal from her, even though I did last time, I couldn't do it this time could I?

"Well?" Hiei said impaiently.

"Well what?" I said trying to pretend I didn't know what he meant.

"Listen kitsune, I don't care if that girl is family, friend, or past lover. We are thieves and we live off what we steal."

He was right and this village was no different. "Ok then. Lets go."


Good? Bad? You tell me in your review. I decided that I would make this a little longer then it originally would have been because of some scenes in the sequel. So I hoped you enjoyed and thanks for reading and reviewing. It makes me happy so keep it up.
