Chapter 5:The Journey Begins

Sakura's P.O.V.

"HENTAII!" i heard Jasmine screech.'gawd cant he keep his hands to himself?' I thought.I looked up and saw my hentaii brother,Jenaii unconcious."Sleep groping again baka?" i heard Rae mummble as she tried to get back to sleep.
Darien who she was lying next to nugged her. "Everyone wake up!We'll be leaving after breakfast" called Beyonce.
I looked up and saw Ryu sleeping in the the tree i was lying under.I smiled. 'He's so protective of me' I thought.
I threw a pebble at him so he'd wake up. He now slept with earplugs so he could actually get some rest because Jenaii groped slept alot more than dad ever did.Well at least according to mom.His ears twitched,and he opened one eye."what?"
he said.The tashio's were NOT morning people."Morning Ryu-puppy" I giggled. He growled.But I wasnt afraid or worried.
He always growled playfully unless he wanted or was fighting with someone."fine,yawn I'll be down in a-he growled angrily-RAE LEAVE ME ALONE!" He said.I looked at my best friend curiously.I had known for quite sometime that she and Ryu had a telepathic link but what exactly was said i had no clue."Teasing him about something" Rae answered not giving me anything else.They teased each other a lot with their link but they didnt tell other people,so their twin wouldnt be embarrased.Ryu jumped down.We heard a laugh.We all turned to see Kagome-sama along with Mom,Dad,and Inuyasha-san."whats so funny okaa-chan?" asked Rae."You are going to have an interesting journey my little bird,just like the one we had" smiled Kagome-sama.We all lined up,waiting for the sad good-bye's."You boys look after the girls and Jenaii NO HENTAII HABITS!" ordered mom."Aww but Sango-chan...thats no fun!I mean what good would've it been if Miroku didnt grope you all the time and lightened the mood alot when Inu and I fought?" teased Kagome-sama.
Everyone one but me and Rae sweatdropped.In fact we laughed.....it was sooo funny to think about Kagome-sama and Inuyasha-san fighting and my dad groping my mom to lighten the mood."You find that funny young ladies?" asked dad.
Rae and I froze."No sir" we answered."Oh come on dad,its embarrassing but funny dont hold it against her!" said Darien coming to our rescue.'THANK GAWD FOR OLDER BROTHERS!(with the exception of Jenaii of course) I thought.Rae smiled at my brother. It was preety obvious to anyone who saw them that they liked each other but didnt know that the other did even if everyone else stated the OBVIOUS! "HEY!You try being hit by lovely women when you're just trying to be friendly?" said Jenaii. Now that everyone had to laugh at.....well except dad but he was a former hentaii himself. "Well I guess you better get going,Midori your miko powers are the strongest so stay alert" said Kagome.
"Hai,okaa-chan" nodded Midori."Lets get going" said Tai. After saying their tearful good-bye's they began to walk.
Hours later

"Yo Tai ya think we could stop and rest?" asked Jenaii."why?..." asked Tai."Cause Jenaii,Beyonce,
Darien-kun,and Kura-chan,are human they dont have hanyou's strength" answered Midori plainly.
"Come on even dad let Mom,Miroku,Sango and Shippo rest" complained Ryu."Oh suck it up Ryu you have demon strength too" spat Rae getting annoyed very easily since she didnt like the silence we walked in."Fine, we'll stop for tonight its getting dark anyway"sighed Tai in deafeat.Beyonce and Midori smiled."Ryu,Sakura could you two get some fire wood?Big ones"asked Beyonce cheerfully.'How can she stay so cheerful almost ALL the time?'I asked myself. Ryu nodded and headed toward the forest,not as fast as he would if he was alone,fast enough to hurry but still wait for me.Darien,
Rae,Ryu and I had a link we were the best of friends,but of course Rae and Darien had total crushes on each other which was a little ackward."Hey Sak!Hurry it up" called Ryu bringing me back to reality.Minutes later we heard Rae's scream coming from camp.

Rae's P.O.V.

I was just poking around the forest around the clearing we had made into our camp when i suddenly felt arms around my waist.My first instinct was to scream,then i pushed the person or should i say demon away and looked at him.He had black hair with green eyes.He smelt of wolf."what do you think you're doing?" I asked."Gomen,but I thought you were somebody else" said the wolf with a glint in his eyes that told me he liked his mistake.Just then Rai,Beyonce,Jenaii,Jasmine,Ryu and Sakura came running.My brothers growled while everyone else got ready for a fight. Ryu was about to attack when another wolf demon,this time a female appeared.I took a whiff at her scent and acknowledged the fact that she was the others sister."Meekai!Mira and I have been looking all over for you and you're fighting"groweled the female wolf."Serenity I"d appreciate it if you'd use respect when you're talking to me, and I was looking for you guys too but I mistook this dog hanyou for Mira because they look similar from the back"said the boy wolf named Meekai.The girl Serenity turned to us and bowed."gomen for my onii-chan"bowed Serenity.I nodded and turned to the others."False alarm" was all I said.Suddenly two more wolves a girl and boycame into the clearing."MEEKAI!" the girl screeched as she flung herself into Meekai."Yo Mira calm down will ya?"asked the guy.Serenity flipped her red hair with black highlightsas she talked to the girl clinging to Meekai for dear life."Mira seriously I'm okay" said Meekai struggling to get the worried wolf off of him."Gomen for the spectacle.My name is Kenaii that wolf girl over there is my sister Mira"introduced the guy wolf.
He had blue eyes and brownish blackish hair.Mira had baby-blue eyes with light-brown hair almost a hazel color,in a pony tail."My name is Raven but please call me Rae,those are my brothers and sister Tai,Midori and Ryu.And those are our friends Beyonce,Jenaii,Sakura,and Darien" I introduced.
"I've never seen you in this area before and it belongs to my father"said Serenity."Oh we're just passing through.We're going on a quest against the son of our parents enemy"said Midori."You're a miko correct?" asked Mira finally releasing Meekai."Actually my siblings and I are all half miko half demon.But I am the strongest miko and weakest hanyou" admited Midori."Follow us,you deserve a good camp site here too many youkai come to hunt and play"invited Meekai."We accept your offer"
nodded Tai.we walked towards wolf caves up north.Darien and I in the back."Gawd I think my feet are gonna fall off I've never walked this long" whispered Darien."Neither have I but we'll get used to it we have to" I assured him.Then a string of caves appeared in the distance.A wolf female came up to us."Children who are your friends" she asked with a friendly smile."We met them in the hunting clearing and invited them here where its safe"said Serenity with the same smile the other did."I'm Ayame I'm the lady of this wolf tribe and the mother of Meekai and Serenity"Ayame introduced herself."Ayame who is there?" asked a voice from the main cave."We have guests Kouga" smiled Ayame looking back towards the cave.'Kouga?Oh no' I thought........
