Chapter 2: Another New Face

Kakiya was amazed that the han-you had just embraced her. For a few seconds, she was wide eyed and open mouthed, shocked at his action. After those few seconds though, she embraced him back, saying, "After I said that, I thought for sure you'd be mad at me."

"I was for a minute, then I realized that you were right...I couldn't stay mad. I knew you were right so there really was no reason to be mad in the first place, Kakiya," Inuyasha replied.

They were still in the embrace when he heard a noise, coming from the river. Inuyasha's ears perked up, and he strained his ears to listen. He didn't want to let go of her, so he tried to listen in to pick out what it was. "What's wrong?" asked Kakiya, her eyes looking up to the han-you's golden eyes. He was looking right back at her, and she could see in his eyes that he was trying to hear something. She began to listen, too, and sure enough they heard a small noise, like a bush shaking.

There was a small and hushed "Ow!", and Inuyasha turned away, even though he didn't want to. Kakiya was a little nervous, but she was the first to walk up to the sound.

When she looked on the other side of the bush, she gasped. "Senji?!?! O MY GOSH!! HOW'D YOU FIND ME?!?!?!" Inuyasha was just flat out shocked.

A young boy's voice was heard by Inuyasha next. "Easy! I sniffed you out! Duh!" A teenage wolf demon stepped out from behind the bush. He was tall, about the age of 17. Inuyasha could tell by his clothes that he was a wolf domen. He was as tall as the han-you, just about an inch shorter. He didn't look very strong though. He had ears like Kouga's, human-like, but pointed. He had large brown eyes, and a really handsome face. It appeared flawless....no moles, no acne, no over-sized nose. Inuyasha was stunned that he hadn't picked up the scent. He was smiling at Kakiya, who looked like she was going to faint she was so stunned. Almost immediately, he took her in his arms. "I missed you so much, I had to come looking for you..." Inuyasha turned a bright red with anger, and he clenched his fists together. That bastard had better get his hands off her or I'll be forced to maul that "pretty boy's" face! "...Where were you all this time?"

"I've been with my human brother, Miroku, and Inuyasha, the inu-han-you, Sango, a "demon slayer", and Shippo, a young kitsune. I was going to come back after Kouga and Inuyasha's fight over Kagome..." Inuyasha flinched at the name "...but I hadn't seen Miroku-san for ages! He even thought I was dead!" Kakiya could have gone on, but chose to stop here, mainly because she saw the look on inuyasha's face. Uh oh...not good...shoudn't'a hugged him!!!

"I'd like to meet these other people. I've heard of you, Inuyasha, and your strength. If you don't mind me sayin' so, I'm jealous of your strength." Inuyasha's face went from anger to amazement.

"Really? O..." was all he could get to leave his mouth. He had others who wanted his strength? I never thought anyone would want the strength of a han-you! This is kinda cool!

Short silence

"So....you wanna come with us to the camp, Senji? You can meet the rest of the gang!!" Kakiya asked the wolf demon. Inuyasha's face again went red.

"Love to!" The gang headed off, Senji and Kakiya leading the way. Senji had his arm linked with Kakiya's, and Inuyasha was not at all OK with this. He was fuming he was so pissed off. If you were there, you could have seen steam coming from his cute little ears that's how mad he was. Senji and Kakiya were "catching up", Kakiya talked, at first, about her defeating Naraku, and Senji about what was going on back at "the Den".

When they finally got back, Shippo ran at Senji, and he too was fuming like Inuyasha. He ran at Senji, thinking he was Kouga. "DIE YOU!!!"

"SHIPPO NO!!!" yelled Kakiya, and Shippo stopped in mid air and fell to the ground. "He's a freind...His name is Senji ."

"Oh! Sorry! I though you were Kouga." It was Senji's turn to be amazed now.
"Wow! You people must really hate Kouga! Well, except you Kakiya, since you're his sister, I mean..."

"Actually I hate him too."

"Well, I'll bet we all do here, then. He let his girl "Kagome" banish me."

"What!?" shouted Shippo, Inuyasha and Kakiya in harmony.

"I'll explain later."

Later on during dinner

"Now will you tell us Senji?" asked a curious Kakiya.

"OK. It all started when I was born, actually. I was discriminated against because I'm a han-you..." Inuyasha, who had not been listening, now began to listen intently. "...Kouga and the gang always made fun of me. When Kakiya came, she was the only one who would defend me from their insults, and we soon became friends..." Kakiya smiled. "...Some years later, Kakiya went away, suposedly with you guys. That same day, Kouga brought this young woman named "Kagome" home to the den. She almost immediately started to boss me around, and Kouga let her do it, too. One day, I just didn't listen. I was getting sick of her cold and cruel remarks, so I dilibretly dissobeyed her. She went to Kouga, saying I tried to "rape" her, and he banished me, even though he knew I would never do such a thing. So I came looking for Kakiya, thinking she would accept me, and allow me to come with her. But, seeing she is with you, Inuyasha, I'll leave her to you."

Kakiya eyes filled with tears. "Don't say your gonna leave already! Stay! Please! At least for a while!"

"I f you want me to stay, I will, but I doubt it will make Inuyasha happy," replied Senji.

Wow...He's very unselfish for a wolf demon... thought Inuyasha.

"Is it OK with you Inuyasha?" Kakiya asked, with big pleading puppy eyes.

She knew Inuyasha would never say no if she gave him the "puppy eyes" look. "For a while, I guess." Kakiya's face lit up, and she immediately jumped into Senji's arms. Inuyasha just walked away, into the woods. "Oh no. Excuse me, I'll go talk to him." She got up, and followed Inuyasha into the dense woods.

"He doesn't have to stay if you don't want him to, ya know." she said into the darkness. Inuyasha turned around, and Kakiya saw that he looked as if he would cry. She ran up to him and hugged him. He was shocked at first, but soon hugged her back. They held each other for a long time, neither wanting to let go.

"Kakiya, I need to talk to you..."
