Seeing is Believing

By Kiara Jaganshi

Chapter 7

A/N: Hmm... I don't really know what to say, but I'm talking anyway! Okay, have you guys guessed it right yet? Well, okay, if you didn't, I'll tell you I guess... The sword Kiara was using was... -drum roll please- ...the Tesaiga!!! It was pretty easy to guess, I think. And I think some of you guessed some more to this. If Kiara can handle the Tesaiga so well, she must have human blood. That's right too! Kiara just happens to be a hanyou, don't you know? And now you know if you don't! Anyway, I'm looking for new character in my story. I need some characters for good and bad guys. And since I'm lazy and making up characters take work and concentration, I'm looking to you guys, my readers, to help me out! Please?

Ranyame325: Thanks for all the reviews! And don't worry, I don't mind my email getting flooded. I get like 500 emails a day anyway. I know. Aol counted for me. Oh, and I made Kiara act like Seshomaru sometimes on purpose too! I think it shows that they have a strong bond as well as it's funny, like you said! Hehe!Yume Jaganshi: Hello sis, and thank you for your wonderful comments and threats to kill me unless I update the rest of the chapters. It encouraged me to update. In a weird way...

Leiko Hikaru: Yeahy! Thanks for all the reviews! I love you so much right now! Here's chapter 7 now! Oh, by the way, Keiko is plotting some kinda evil plan against you after that comment in the review for chapter 4... Just a warning.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, and no one, especially the great Youko Kurama and great Seshomaru, the best and hottest and sexiest silver haired Bishies to ever walk the animated earth. I just own my little original character Kiara and some other peoples... I think.


They had all agreed to take the now unconscious Kiara back to Genkai's house to be treated by the old woman.

"Please Genkai, help her!" Kurama pleaded as he sat anxiously next to her by the futon Kiara was now lying in.

"Shush, kitsune. I will help her best I can, but this is even beyond my understanding," Genkai replied gravely as she wrapped up the wound in several lairs of bandages. She muttered something and there was a sudden flash of red ki. "Now we must leave her alone. It is up to her to live or not."

Kurama nodded understandingly and followed the woman into another room where Yuseke, Kuwabara, and Hiei waited.

"How is she?" Yuseke asked, concern showing in his face as well as his voice.

"She is fine. The demon's claws contained poison in them, that is all. It keeps the wound from closing unless they use select herbs, plants, and incantations to close it back."

"Okay, now that that is solved, mind explaining what happened back at the park?" Kuwabara asked as well. "She took on an A-class demon, beet him up with just on attack, and now I'm really confused!"

"You must be stupider then you look then," Hiei stated quietly. "Anyone could see at that point that she had let down her barrier and the fact that she was a hanyou reeked all over."

"Oh yeah? And how would you know that, shrimp?" Kuwabara argued.

"Because, unlike other, more stupid beings, I pay attention to details."

"Why you-!"

"Kuwabara, let it lie! At least we now know that she's youkai."

"We're you listening to me earlier, detective? I said she was a hanyou, a hybrid, two opposing forces," Hiei said with a sneer. "You must be dumb too."

"A hanyou? How could a hanyou be that strong, and have such a strong weapon as well?" Yuseke shouted, not even aware he had been dissed.

"More importantly, where's Kiara?"

The 5 turned to face the source of the voice. At the screen door was a well-built man with long silver hair, golden eyes, and dog-ears. He was wearing a strange, red outfit.

"Who are you?" Hiei demanded.

"None of your business. Now, I'll ask again. Where's Kiara?" the man asked again.

"None of your business," Yuseke retorted.

"Why you-!"

"Why don't we trade-off?" Kurama suggested. "You tell us your name, and I tell you where Kiara is."

"Feh! Fine! My name is Inuyasha. SO glad to meet you," he drawled. "Now, I'm losing my temper. Where's my niece?"

"Your 'niece' is in the next room," Genkai replied for them all. "She's unconscious at the moment."

Inuyasha marched right inside, ripped open the shoji doors, and went directly to the futon where he picked Kiara up and slung her over his shoulder. Then he grabbed the sword lying next to her with the free hand.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going with her?" Kuwabara demanded.

"Home, where do you think?" the man said with a very annoyed click of his tongue. "If you want to visit her, come to Osaka. You can find her there." With those last words, Inuyasha ran out of the shrine and out of sight.

"Hiei?" Kurama asked politely.

"Yeah, I got it fox," Hiei grumbled. "He let down his mental defenses for some reason. He must have known I was psychic. He wanted us to come. He wanted to know who we were, and what we were to Kiara. It's true he is related to her somehow as well."

"Address?" Kurama requested.

Hiei growled again. "1903 Mitsukake Douro, Osaka, Japan."

"Perfect Hiei."


"Why exactly are we going?" Yuseke asked the following Saturday as they headed for Osaka in Kurama's silver Porsche.

Kurama's eyes turned gold again and his hair turned silver at the ends. "To rescue my mate, of course," Youko replied out of Kurama.

"Youko? Haven't seen you in a while. Anyway, your mate?"

"Of course. Why else would we have introduced you to her," Youko growled. His eyes then returned back to emerald orbs and his hair ends changed to fiery red as usual.

"Did I say something stupid?" Kurama asked them.

"Um, not really," Kuwabara replied evasively. "Anyway, keep your eyes on the road and don't hurt that poor old lady over there!"

Kurama turned just in time to miss the elderly woman, and kept driving. "Anyway, we're going because I want to know if Kiara is safe and okay. Don't listen to whatever Youko said."

"Oh, okay then. Youko said something completely different..." Yuseke muttered.

"What?"

"Oh, nothing... Nothing at all..."
