Reunited Love
Chapter 9- "Complications"

Disclaimer: As always, all OCs own themselves. No one here owns Inu-Yasha.

Sorry for the long wait, balancing the last of school, 4 fanfictions, dental and orthodontic appointments, and college applications isn't easy. But anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

"Miroku!" Worried, Neko-Yasha ran over to Miroku. "Are you alright?!"

Miroku winced as he placed a hand on his wound. "I've been better."

Sakeri looked over at Neko-Yasha and Miroku, then at the battle and her eyes narrowed. She ran at the wolf hanyou. And stopped the hanyou's next attack on Kagome. "Kagome would never go around stealing souls!"

Inu-Yasha stopped for a moment as what Miroku had tried to say earlier struck him. "Kikyo's the soul stealer..."

The wolf hanyou looked at Inu-Yasha upon hearing the words "soul stealer". "This girl's scent is the same as the soul stealer's. She has to be the one."

Inu-Yasha explained everything to the wolf hanyou from Kagome being Kikyo's reincarnation to the ogress Urasue resurrecting Kikyo using Kagome's soul. And Kikyo's needing to steal souls to survive.

The wolf hanyou sheathed her blade and turned to leave, only pausing to apologize to Miroku.

"Hey, where are you going? We never got your name." Sango asked before the wolf hanyou could leave.

"I'm going to continue my search for the soul-stealer Kikyo. And my name is Katsie. By the way, I'm not a hanyou. I'm a wolf/human/hellhound hybrid."

"That explains a lot." Inu-Yasha muttered.

"Then why don't you join us Katsie? Kikyo always manages a way to find us, so that'll make your search easier!" Shippo offered.

Katsie looked at everyone. "I've caused you enough trouble."

"We don't mind!" Kagome said.

Katsie thought for a moment. "Alright, fine."

Shippo walked over to Katsie. "My name is Shippo!"

"I'm Sango." Sango said as she put away her Hiraikotsu. "And this is Kilala!" She motioned to Kilala, who was now back in her more compact form.

"I'm Kagome!" Kagome bowed and smiled, as if she had never been attacked.

Sakeri bowed respectfully. "My name is Sakeri." She looked over at Inu- Yasha, who had the usual stubborn expression on his face with his arms crossed. She sweatdroped. "That's Inu-Yasha."

Kagome motioned to Miroku and Neko-Yasha. "The monk is Miroku and the cat hanyou is Neko-Yasha."

After introductions were done, everyone walked over to Miroku, who was being tended to my Neko-Yasha.

"How do you feel Miroku?" Sango asked.

"Not so well I'm afraid." Miroku sighed.

"You guys go on without us." Neko-Yasha said. "I'll take care of Miroku and we'll catch up to you when we're ready."

Everyone nodded and started to walk off.

"Be careful you two." Sakeri said over her shoulder.

"We will." Neko-Yasha called back.

Sesshomaru and Luna had gotten back to the castle before sunset. They were greeted by Rin, who happily ran over to them.

"Yay! Sesshomaru-sama and Luna Onee-chan are back! Rin was worried!"

Luna picked Rin up. "Sorry Rin, I went on a walk and got lost. Sesshomaru found me." Luna couldn't tell Rin that she tried to run away. She didn't have the heart to. She felt Sesshomaru's gaze on her and she walked into the castle.

About half way down the hall, Luna and Rin were intercepted by a very angry Jaken.

Luna put Rin down. "Rin, go play in the guarden. I'll be there in a few minutes." Rin nodded and ran off. Luna noticed that Sesshomaru was no longer behind her, but disregarded the fact. She looked at Jaken and tried hard not to laugh at his bump-swollen face. "What happened to you?" There was no sympathy in her voice.

"YOU!!" Jaken yelled. "You're the reason for this! First you send me flying out of the castle, then I'm held hostage by Sesshomaru-sama's idiot brother's group, and abused all the way here by a neko hanyou named Neko- Yasha and a neko youkai named Sakeri!"

Luna turned serious upon hearing the names of her friend and sister. "They were here?"

"Yes. But I sent them away. Sesshomaru-sama wouldn't have been very happy if I had allowed them to stay."

Luna growled and picked Jaken up and threw him against the wall hard enough to knock him out. "Stupid toad." She said coldly as she walked towards the garden.

'So, her sister is in the company of my idiot half brother...' Sesshomaru thought as he secretly watched Luna from the shadows. He stepped out of the shadows and continued to follow Luna. His thoughts focused on her.
