Ryu's P.O.V.
The second I heard the name Kouga a chill went up my spine.I looked around at my siblings and noticed they had the same thought i did.Sakura,Darien,Jenaii,and Beyonce weren't told much about the adventures our parents had but we on the other hand were.So we knew that the second Kouga took a whiff of our scents we'd better be ready for a fight.
Just as expected Kouga took a whiff and started growling."You smell like dog-turd and Kagome" snarled Kouga."Use respect when you talk about our father Kouga-san,he's changed much since the last time you saw him.He is now, the Lord of the Northern Lands"said Midori with no fear at all."Dog-turd?A lord?"asked Kouga in disbelief."He's always been a lord but now he has his own lands" said Tai.Kouga turned to me and Rae."You two look exactly like Inutrasha and Kagome.....unlike your siblings" said Kouga."We're twins,we dont know why we look more like our parents but we know it has something to do with the fact that we're twins" said Rae a fire in her eyes.'Rae calm down dont do anything rash' I telepathied.(A/N:MY story MY WRITTING!)'He's getting on my nerves.......but trust me,remember I'm the one that takes after Okaa-chan the most' telepathied Rae. Kouga sighed."That dog is annoying at times but thats the only thing I have against him anymore.I'm happy with my mate and pups.......i'm no longer intrested in Kagome if thats what you're thinking" sighed Kouga."No not at all Kouga-san its just that we take it offensive when people and or demons insult our father" said Midori."Well anyway come on in,we're about to have dinner" said Ayame.
After we introduced ourselves to Kouga and Ayame we had a long chat about Kiaku."Well I think it was foolish to leave Kagome alone with only Inuyasha,Sango and Miroku to protect her,yes there are many trainees in the village but the only ones capable of fighting kiaku and his demons are Inuyasha,Miroku,and Sango, and we're not all as young as we used to be" said Kouga."I agree" said Midori."HUH?" asked Tai."Tai, I think you,Beyonce,Jenaii,Jasmine and I should get going back towards the village and protect momma" said Midori."I would feel better watching over Kagome-sama,and anyway a group of 9 is too big to be traveling....we're more experienced and would be of better use protected mother,the others are strong and trained under us and are very capable to try and find Kiaku's castle"
said Midori.Beyonce and Jasmine nodded."But..."began Jenaii."I agree with Mid-chan.I think our parents are capable of fighting but you have to agree they're getting older and I know that doesnt mean much for your parents but for mine it does that means that only your father will be able to keep Kagome-sama safe to the fullest of his abilites"
said Beyonce. "Alright we'll leave tonight" said Tai.Everyone else nodded."Kura-chan,Rae-chan,Jas-chan,Mid-chan,
would you like to go to a hotspring near by and freshen up?" asked Mira."Of course we'd be delighted Mira" smiled Jasmine."Ya I feel stiff thanks for the offer Ra-chan" smiled Rae."Rae stay close enough for our link to be strong"I warned my sister."You worry too much but hai i'll do as you say onii-chan" giggled Rae."Hurry up Rae-chan!" called Sakura.'I wonder whats her rush....well keep Jenaii away Ryu' telepathied Rae. I nodded and gave a glare towards Jenaii. Even though he had a huge crush on Jasmine, he still took peeks when girls took baths in hotsprings.Just as expected Jenaii stood up and started to walk in the direction a little bit to the side of where the girls where headed.
Tai jumped over his head and landed perfectly infront of him."Where do you think you're going Houshi?" asked Tai a growl escaping his throat."I was just gonna look around" lied Jenaii."Yeah right" mummbled Darien and I. "I resent that"
Jenaii said sitting back down knowing we werent gonna let him go anywhere.We waited, every once in a while Jenaii would try and escape again but always failed.
At the hotspring
The girls were having a little fun chat in the hotspring mostly talking about how they met and Mira and Serenity's childhood."Hehe,thats why I'm kinda weird around Meekai...I'm head over heals for my betrothed but he doesnt seem to feel the same way" smiled and giggled Mira."He likes her but he has this thing with finding a mate of his own he thinks being betrothed is silly" sighed Serenity."I take offense in that my parents betrothed me and my fiancee Shippo a young kitsuene who traveled with them and I love him deeply....I think they knew that we would" said Midori.
"I agree a little with Meekai.I think whats the point in life if everything is set out for you.Not being able to make your own mistakes but I dont think betrothing is silly its tradition and usually the parents make a good decision when they choose betrothes" said Rae."Well I think its kinda romantic but only if you dont know that you're betrothed you know like your parents slowly push you two toghether and when you tell them you've fallen in love they tell you, that you were betrothed from the start,that you were destined..." began Sakura with stars in her eyes."Is that what you want to happen with Ryu" teased Jasmine."What are you talking about....I was thinking along the lines of you and Jenaii"
said Sakura trying to reverse who was being teased by who but she couldnt stop the blush coming on her cheeks.
Mira,Serenity,Rae,and Midori giggled as Jasmine's face began to resemble a tomato.All of a sudden Rae stopped laughing.
'Rae mom,dad, Miroku and Sango are here! Quick come back Kouga and Dad are about to rip each others throaths out'
telepathied Ryu."Girls lets get going our parents are here and Kouga and my dad arent happy to see each other again"
exclaimed Rae as she began getting dressed."What?!Lets go minna!" called Serenity now fully dressed running back towards the caves.
Rae's P.O.V.
When we got there we found dad and Kouga scratched with mom and Ayame between them."DAD!" Midori and I called.
He turned to us. Kouga smiled and jumped over mom and Ayame and was about to attack dad when Ryu and I jumped in the way."Back OFF Kouga" we snarled.We noticed that his eyes were a blood read."Daddy stop it!Why are you so mad?" asked a desprate Serenity. Suddenly,Kouga's eyes turn back to normal color."Serenity?" asked Kouga.Serenity flung herself into her fathers arms crying."You really scared me there daddy" she said."What happened?" asked Kouga.
"Dont you remember wimpy-wolf!Kagome,Miroku,Sango, Shippo and I appeared and you attacked me out of nowhere!"
snarled Dad."You're eyes went blood red dear even Kagome and I couldnt stop you.....you almost attacked us if it werent for Inuyasha looking at the girls when they arrived" said Ayame."Can we deal with that another time?Otou-san,
Okaa-chan?Why are you guys here?" asked Midori."The village was attacked by a wolf youkai controlled by Kiaku.
he stole some of Kikyo's ashes" said Mom. I gasped.'Ryu do you think he'll try and ressurect Kikyo?' I telepathied to my brother.He just nodded in response."Dont worry,Inuyasha killed the demon before he could get away but we need help protecting the village now" said Sango."You know what?Midori,Jenaii,Jasmine,Beyonce and I were gonna go back tonight" said Tai."good thing we'll leave after a little rest" said dad.Everyone nodded. Darien headed towards the woods.
I looked at him curiously.'Ryu,Darien's leaving camp I'm gonna follow him' I telepathied.'Sure thing call if you need help' answered Ryu.I followed him for about half and hour when he finally stopped and turned to my direction."Rae how much longer are you gonna follow me?" he asked. I came out of the bushes."The entire time you're away from camp" I answered."Why?I mean I can take care of myself you know?" asked Darien."Yeah that doesnt mean you wont have me-I mean all of us worried" I said.I felt a blush come up to my cheeks from my slip up.Darien had tons of girls from the village why should one hanyou girl be so special?I admit I have a crush.I wont admit it outloud but to myself.
I looked up to him and saw him with a small smirk on his face.I gave him a curious look.He came up towards me and lifted my chin up to look up to him.I felt my blush become darker and heated.'What is he doing?' I thought.
"Rae,you dont need to worry about me...." he began.We heard a rustle in the bushes and parted quickly.I took out my dagger."COME OUT OF THERE!" I yelled.Four water youkai's came out ready to fight."Who are you and what do you want?" asked Darien."I could ask you the same thing" said one of them.She had Long bluish-greenish hair with red tips and dark blue eyes."Dont be rude Kadiri the guys cute" smiled the other.I slowly boiled up with anger. She had shoulder length,light green hair with baby blue tips and green eyes.I boiled with anger.I almost let a growl escape my throat."Juri for once in your life focus!" snarled the one with dark blue eyes.The other stuck her tounge out.
While the male water demons sweatdropped."Girls.....I dont think this is the time to be fighting with EACH OTHER"
laughed nervously one of the males.He had black hair with blue streaks, and chocolate brown eyes.The other had tanish skin with dark hair in between black and red with silver eyes.....beautiful silver."Ya we should be focusing on finding Kiaku's castle" said the one with silver eyes."Kiaku?Do you work for him?" asked Darien."NO!" yelled the females.
"Dont you?" asked the one male with chocolate brown eyes."NO!Not at all he wants to kill my mother for killing his evil parents!" I snarled."Well gomen we thought you did!My name is Kadiri Santo and thats my baka sister Juri, and those are our friends Yoshimi and Hiroshi" smiled the one with dark blue eyes."My name's Rae and thats my friend,
Darien our brothers,sisters,friends, and parents are back towards the wolf caves" i said."Aren't you a DOG demon?"
asked Juri."Yeah but our friends dad is Kouga the leader of the Wolf Tribe" said Darien."Oooh are there more cuties like you?" asked Juri, getting a bonk from her sister.I laughed."would you mind if we joined you? asked Kadiri.
"Sure no problem.....but can i ask you one question?" I said."Okay" answered Juri."Who's the sister?" I asked.
"Juri" answered Kadiri."YEP!THATSA ME" exclaimed Juri.Darien and I sweatdropped.
Hope you likey!Suggestions are welcomed!JA NE!
