Disclaimer: No matter what, I don't own Inu-Yasha. The only ones that I DO own are the sons and daughter of Inu-Yasha IN THIS FIC! E-mail/review if you want to use them, and I'll let you if you give me credit for the character(s)!
Pictures of Demon Kurohi, Nekome, & Kasei available for viewing. Just tell me in a review! Seishin sketched out, but not complete yet. I'm not really sure when I'll really get to her yet...
OMG! Manazashi no Aria is such a kewl song!! I listened to this while typing!! Oh, and Dark Side Stories is cool, too! Tasogare ni se wo Mukete is such a sad song, though...
Kyrack - I'll see when I can get to it. I can't always get online to send stuff.
gigi-chan - You want pics, huh? Again, I'll see when I can get them sent. Also, they're huge, honkin'-ass files. About 1000 to 2000 kilobytes, which equals about 1 to 2 megabytes.
Scarby - Yet again, I'll see when I can send you the shot of Kasei I did.
Angel-chan3 - One of the fics I read of yours has good potential, but I found it hard to focus on what was going on and on the story due to various errors in grammar and spelling. To be honest, I lost interest. Sorry.
Jeez, what a lotta requests to view my illustrations...
----------------------------------------
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's get a move on, shall we?" asked Miroku with a light smile.
Kurohi strode up with Kasei and Celia in tow and looked around. "Where are Nekome and Seishin-chan?"
"Hi big brother!" chimed a girl, leaping onto her oldest brother's back. Her white hair fluttered around her precious form and settled on her back.
The old teen giggled and pulled her off his back. He spun her around and hugged her close. "It's good to see you. I hadn't all night."
"Bro!"
The siblings looked up and grinned. "Hey, Nekome! You're here!" said the multicolor-haired male, setting his sister down.
He nodded once, white hair bouncing slightly. "Of course. So, where are we going next, Inu-Yasha?" he asked, cocking one furry ear to his future father.
Said hanyou stuffed his hands into the long sleeves of his haori. Not surprisingly, Kurohi did the same. "We need to find Sesshomaru again."
"I'll take care of that, Inu-Yasha," uttered the youngest male child of Inu- Yasha. He bounded off in search of the man. He glided across the treetops. He sniffed the air as he went along, and after some time had passed, he came upon his unmistakable scent.
"Sesshooooomaruuu!" he called as he landed before them. He smirked widely. "We're movin' out. Your presence is wanted."
"I see," replied the youkai. "I'll follow when I feel like it."
Nekome nodded. "Understood! See ya 'round!" he dashed off.
The white-haired beauty watched silently as the child of Inu-Yasha retreated. He turned his gaze to the ground, to Rin, and then to Jakken. The toad thing spoke.
"M'lord, if I may, I believe, for once, we should follow them."
"Yeah! Seishin was fun to be with! Even more fun than Jakken!"
"Hey!" Jakken turned his head to see his Lord starting to leave.
Rin giggled and followed. "C'mon, Jakken, or you'll be left behind!"
The toad-like demon sighed. "Ugh... That girl drives me crazy..." He followed.
~~~~~~
I could feel his gaze on my back - hotter than any sun and firmer than any metal. I smiled at this feeling of wholeness and let my head lean back to view the clear sky. I crossed my arms behind my head to support and cushion my head so I could see that sky even better.
Again, I realize, I'm terrified of dying. I want to know Kasei after I finish here. I want to keep whatever we have...
Kasei...
I hear him. He's far behind, bare feet striking the road in near silence. I slowed my grueling pace and watched as the others pushed onward. Slowly, I turned sideways to see the one who had changed my world.
His eyes were an entrancing silver. His hair almost blood red in color.
What was I to him? I have mixed feelings about him, so I'm not really sure what to do or expect.
...But I didn't have any doubts when I had pulled him into my lap and started kissing his neck. I WANTED him...
I bit my cheek to try and stifle a groan.
...and instead of talking about THAT... "Slowpoke."
"Why are you waiting, then?" he growled back, stepping up to me and staring downward so he could lock eyes with me.
The "full" feeling blossomed twofold and I sighed out a would-be groan. "Wouldn't want to leave a decent fighter behind," I retorted, beginning to stride away. A pressure around my wrist stopped me, however, and I turned my head around. "Hn?" I asked.
With narrowed eyes, he gazed at me. After an eternity of his fierce scrutiny, he released my entrapped limb and jogged to catch up with the group.
My heart flinched with loss, but I blamed it on the toxin.
What was this feeling?
~~~~~~
I slowly pedaled on my bike so as to keep up with my love. His silver hair was tugged gently with the breeze and I really wanted to run my hands through those strands.
Maybe later.
I heard - or lack of - a pair of feet moving, and turned my head. I saw Kurohi stop and turn, waiting for the lager of the group, Kasei, to catch up.
I turned my head back to the front with a light smile on my face. I had seen just how all-over-each-other they had been and I wouldn't make a fuss of it. There's no reason to.
They look cute together.
"Hey, Inu-Yasha?"
His beautiful golden gaze is locked on mine. "Hm? Kagome, nan desu ka?"
"Do you have any idea on where we're going to turn up this time?" I asked.
He frowns cutely, deep in thought. "I dunno. Wherever the shards are, I guess. Doshite?"
I'm still smiling. "I'm just curious. Maybe I could find a pattern or something."
His face looks confused. "Are you trying to take after Miroku??"
I shake my head. "No, Inu-Yasha," I replied truthfully.
A red blur stormed past us, red hair lashing.
"Whatcha up to, Kasei?" my silver-haired hanyou asked.
The redheaded hanyou turned his head to see over his shoulder. "Hn. Your son is a mutthead."
"WHAAAAAAT?!"
"Kasei!!" Another blur came up to the other hanyou and tackled him to the ground. "You don't have to be such a jerk to me!"
~~~~~~
"Get OFF me, damn mutt!" He sent a sharp kick to the younger one's hips, sending him flying over his head.
Kurohi yelled and landed on the ground with a dull {thun-k!}
Kurohi grunted as he hit the earth, then groaned. His vision swam a moment at the impact before it fixed itself.
Kasei's face came into view and he gulped, his heart filling with fear. Kasei then turned his head to Inu-Yasha. "It seems we have some things to work out. You guys go on ahead. We'll catch up later."
"Shut up, Kasei, we're going with them, too!" growled Kurohi, jumping to his feet.
The redhead glared and stalked off.
[Kasei!!] Instead of following the hanyou, he walked over to Kagome, frowning lightly and eyes saying, "What did I do to deserve this?" [I was only playing a role, after all...] He closed his eyes and started walking along the path once more.
***
He looked up at the stars, arms folded behind his head, cushioning it from the unforgiving earth. One arm snaked out and its finger pointed at a few stars, paused, then aimed elsewhere.
"Damn, no Big Dipper," muttered the quarter-demon, wincing. His heart hurt very badly, but he didn't want to talk to Kasei right now. Besides, he had been threatened earlier that evening that he would be killed should he bother the hanyou again.
He didn't want to die, but this pain in his heart not only set him on a slightly bummed-out mood, but it also made his temper twice as bad. He had a super-short fuse tonight, and with his condition, he knew it wasn't good.
He frowned.
"What's the faker doin' up?" asked a voice. It was that wench again, Celia, of course.
[Time to ignore her.] The figure didn't flinch. "Oh!" His mood brightened just a little as he found something in the night sky. "There's a cat's eye!" He pointed to a cluster of stars and grinned.
Celia frowned. He shouldn't ignore her like that. [Time to get him back into shape, the weakling he is.] She raised her booted foot.
{STOMP!}
"EEEEYOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW-HAAAAAA!!!" Kurohi grabbed his tail and held it against his chest, tears streaming down his face. He glared up at the woman. "YOU LITTLE **BITCH**!! THAT'S ***IT***!!!!" Standing up, he cracked his knuckles and flexed them. He released his tail and felt his body change.
His eyes widened in both shock and horror. [AAH?!! Oh, kami, no, no! I don't--]
His muscles rippled, eyes changed to a bright ruby red, and his tail turned from orange with black stripes to a blood red. His claws doubled in length and odd markings appeared on his body. His haori and white undershirt tore off due to the power surge, and Youkai Kurohi lunged in a blind rage. "Rrrrr!" He pulled his claws back and struck, Celia dodged backward and whipped out her bow and arrows. She aimed and fired in a split second.
Kurohi dodged downward and lunged on all fours, tail trailing behind him like a flag and eyes wide with the urge to kill.
"Time to die! Rrrrraaaaaa!!" Popping his claws, he struck again with terrifying force, causing a crater into the earth. Whipping out some throwing knives, she threw them expertly at the swift demon. All missed save one, which nicked his left side.
Hurrying footsteps entered the scene. Celia turned her head at them all. "Well, well, well, everyone's here."
"What happened to him?" softly asked Kagome.
"He's lost it!" Celia cocked her bow again, dodged to the side as the demon came her way, and fired just as he landed.
The arrow pierced his left shoulder, and he didn't even flinch. He came at her again, and Celia focused herself on the battle.
A rush of wind came from behind the demon and sent the youkai gone mad flying. When the wind dissipated, a being was unconcealed. This new youkai had brown hair and blue eyes. He smiled a wolfish grin. "Long time no see, mutt-face."
"Mutt-face?!!" demanded the gold-eyed hanyou. He gripped the hilt of his Tetsusaiga tightly and let his body half-shield Kagome. No way was that wolf gonna get HIS Kagome!
"Hi Koga!" chimed Nekome, white ears twitching. He smiled. It was nice to see his second-favorite guy friend.
The ohkami youkai blinked and raised an eyebrow incredulously. "Do I know you...?" Obviously he wasn't with the program.
"In the future, you know me, Koga!"
"Ah, okay..." stuttered the wolf.
Seishin trotted up as well. "Um, Koga---?" she stuttered, eyes wide. "My brother...!!" She pointed at the youkai.
Kurohi growled and lunged at this new foe. "I'll have a fun time killing you, too! DIE!!" He lunged at the wolf with great speed, but the wolf youkai was far swifter, and sent a sort of twirl kick to the demon's face.
In instinct, the other youkai bit down on Koga's leg, but he was easily knocked off with a fist to his head. Kurohi skidded on the ground, growling low in his throat.
"He's not himself, is he?" asked Koga.
Kagome nodded. "Yeah. Celia, did you, by any chance, do anything to him?"
Celia blinked. "Um... I stepped on his tail."
The dark-haired girl gasped softly, eyes watering. "How could you, Celia?! That's cruel!!"
"ENOUGH!" the hanyou roared. He growled. "Celia, get Kasei! NOW!"
The blonde looked indignant and sent Koga a strange glance before setting out to find that stupid fire hanyou.
~~~~~~
I lounged without care under a tree. I heard fighting in the distance, but I was tired. I didn't want to fight right now. They could handle it for all I cared.
I haven't seen Kurohi all day, but I'm kinda pissed at what he said. Couldn't he just up and say that maybe we're together instead of talking like that to me? When it comes down to it, I'm not all tough. I don't have a body or mind of iron. All I have is a fetish for blood...
He acts like I do.
I stare at the stars, and for once, I wonder what it is he's looking at. I wonder if that time in the hut was just a one-time thing or if he really meant it. I want it to be meaningful - I don't just up and give my heart away to anyone.
"Kasei!!!"
I jerk with a start and look up at the speaker. Oh, it's just that wench Celia.
Why does she look so frightened?
"It's Kurohi!" she cried, answering my unsaid question. "He's turned into a youkai and has gone insane!! Everyone's holding him off, but as far as I know, only YOU can tame him!"
"WHAT?!!" I yelled back, getting to my feet quickly. "Lead me to him! NOW!" I order.
She nods once in with resolve, and dashes ahead, leading me to him.
To Kurohi.
I hope I can get there in time!
~~~~~~
The wild youkai lashed at all ends to help give himself some space to dodge. He had received many cuts and bruises from a staff, a hiraikotsu, arrows, a huge sword, and even from a huge, fanged cat!
Not to mention, even from various toys and other things.
"RAAAAA!!" Kurohi - no, the body of Kurohi - swiped his claws at the closest person, purring as the long claws drew blood upon the victim's chest. The victim yelled and clutched at the wound with its covered hand. He spun in a half-circle and slashed again at the one behind him. He heard a childish shriek as he hit a furry person, smiled, and head-butted it, sending it flying somewhere.
The youkai blood in him sang with bliss.
A blow sent him to the ground, but he was up in a blur and charged back into the fight in a blind rage. He was knocked in the head with a staff and then the flat of a huge-ass blade. He was sent into a boulder and only paused for a second before bursting out of it.
He screamed and flitted and attacked to all ends. He was struck with another arrow in the back - dangerously close to a lung - but he felt no pain. He sliced his claws through air as he missed a red-clothed figure and immediately flitted to another target. He dashed over to a seemingly innocent fighter and extended his claws.
The thing's eyes widened and screamed, "Inu-Yashaaaa!!"
