It had always confused her at how different InuYasha and Sesshomaru really where, now the two where fighting and she knew that she shouldn't be listening. Yet the curiosity of a cat had always been Yokio's curse and gift. So she pressed her ear against the cold wooden doors.

"A Hanyou like you could never understand anything like this. I don't now why I even bothered telling you!" Sesshomaru was yelling. Yokio winced, InuYasha looked up to Sesshomaru, however much he tried to hide it, and being insulted by him would be a pain.

"Thats right Sesshomaru I don't understand why our father go to battle for others. Why don't you explain endangering everyone you love?" InuYasha spat back. Yokio could almost smell InuYasha's disgust it was so strong. What was going on?

"I already tried to, but honor obviously plays no role in you heart. So there for it is simply impossible to explain love and war to such a lowly being as yourself." she heard Sesshomaru say in an angry voice. Maybe she shouldn't be listening. No.

"No Sesshomaru you didn't explain anything at all. You already have me dismissed as useless in you mind and youwould never bother youself to tell me anything in the first place." InuYasha yelled at his brother. Yokio held her breath. This was were InuYasha usually lost his temper and did things that got him into trouble.

"Thats right InuYasha I do," Yokio let out her breath to late now they had both lost thier tempers,"dismiss you as unworth my time. Because you are. You are nothing but a worthless Hanyou. A weakling that will never make it in the world as anything but a Hanyou. Not even humans will except you."

"I'm not the only Hanyou around Sesshomaru." InuYasha shot back at his brother. Great they where bringing her into this.

"Thats different InuYasha. Your human blood weakens you beyond what it ever should. You are weaker that a newborn kitten because of it." Sesshomaru answered almost paniced.

"But she shall never be a Youkai Sesshomaru. Her human blood will always be there. It will always hold her back in every aspect, just like mine does. Did you know those half humans actually become human sometimes? Whats to say Sesshomaru that she wouldn't go with her human half?" InuYasha said. His voice seemed to be calming.

Suddenly the door opened leaving Yokio's ear. And she stood there infront of InuYasha who had just spoken and Sesshomaru who had just opened the door. Appearently she had been so startled by what InuYasha's words she hadn't noticed Sesshomaru's footstep as he approached the door.

"InuYasha?" Yokio asked the question without words. Yokio didn't know she looked hurt. She didn't know that her eyes where filled with tears. But why wouldn't they be. Her only friend, and the only person she had really associated with since her parents death four years ago had just said the most insulting thing she had heard in her life.

"So why where you fighting over your father InuYasha?" Yokio found herself asking later the same day. Sesshomaru had left the castle and had toldno one where he was going so InuYasha andYokio where alone.

"Because he fucking got himself killed." InuYasha practically growled at the girl. Yokio looked at the ground not sure how to respond. In a way she understood how InuYasha felt as both of her parents had been killed, but she had been young then and hadn't understood the entire happenings of what had happened. Also he had been like a father to her, a very distant father who paid her little mind.

"I am deeply grieved by your loss InuYasha nad will do what it takes to relieve you of your sorrow." She found herself saying in an almostforced tone. Truthfully Yokio doubted that she could do anything to help InuYasha right now. nothing could heal death...

"What makes you think I grieve for my father? I was never proclaimed as his sonh so I never was his son." InuYasha said stubornly. He crossed his arms across his chest as though it where proof of his feelings.

"How can you say that InuYasha? Your father was ready to do anything for you I am proof of that." Yokio said with a touch of anger.

"I doubt you where introduced to me for my sake. It was for the sake of his beloved Sesshomaru that you where given a play mate not by my own." InuYasha replied with a cold sneer. Yokio responded by turning around and refusing to look at InuYasha as he acted so.

Inside she felt the unformiliar feeling of rage boiling inside her. Inside she was screaming at InuYashato put some sense into his dense head but the feeling was smashed into a thousand pieces.

"I'm sorry Yokio. I know you held my father in high regard, but that doesn't mean I had to..."

I stared at the wall as my father made the final arrangments with Mrs. Higarashi. I was staying her and her family for the next 6 to 12 months. It didn't bother me really for he was never home anyways and when he was we evaded talking. I had come here hoping to escape the dreaded town of Yukon, Oklahoma where you had to be a prep or a stoner to get anywhere.

At one time I had been a prep and had been veiwed as a well mannered girl who made good grades only only got into minor troubleon rare occasions. Though little would anyone suspect a group of girls all dressed in desiner name brand clothes would shop lift.

Not that I had an easy life. Not at all. My mother had abused me and my father was always somewhere on the globe. I had been miserable. Until the day I met Knivera. with her I found someone who wasn't atificial. I could be myself around her. Though not being in either of the major groups put you in danger even if you where thier ex-leader.

On many occasions Knivera and I faced the worst. We where either ganged up on by both Preps and Stoners or caught in the middle of one of thier never ending fueds. Knivera was scorned worse though. They all had scants and insults for her; some relented on me because of distant memories of the childhood. In a way that hurt worse than if they had included me in the insults. What confused me though was the fact that i had once been part of them. I had once been this cruel to others. what scared me was when they almost caused my soul to perish...

"Bye, I will see you when I get back Ravin." father said as he left I did not move my gaze from the wall. In the room now where Souta, Kagome, and Mrs. Higerashi. I knew an old man also lived here but he wasn'tin the room.

"So do you want to see you room?" Souta asked.

"Sure" I answered in a meloncoly way.
