Chapter 3: Kizu-youkai

"Kakiya, I have something to talk to you about." Inuyasha lead our Rainbow you-kai friend over a little deeper into the forest. She was a little curious, and there was no doubt that Inuyasha knew this; you could tell by the totally lost look on her face. Inuyasha usually didn't act so "secretive". "Look...Senji and you are friends...I get that...but I just feel like he's gonna take you away from me..."

"Whadiya mean? Senji wouldn't do that, Inuyasha!"

"I KNOW YOU DON'T THINK HE WOULD, BUT I FEEL LIKE HE'S GOING TO, OK!?" Kakiya was shocked; she was sure the whole forest had heard him that time. "Kakiya, I really don't wanna loose you to a wolf demon like I did Kagome to Kouga, so I'll tell you this now before I loose my chance..." He took both of her hands in his. "Kakiya, I...."

He was cut short; a strong and sudden gail hit them, knocking them over. Inuyasha caught Kakiya in the air, and positioned himself so she would land on him and not the ground when the touched down. They flew a good thirty feet before they hit ground, and almost immediately Kakiya got up and helped Inuyasha up. (Rainbow demon's weigh as heavy as a pillow, so he wasn't really hurt from being smashed.) A shady form appeared in front of them, and it soon took the form of a woman.

"Who the Hell are you!?" Inuyasha demanded, drawing the transforming Tetsusaiga and pushing Kakiya behind him to protect her.

"I am Tsukitana, a Kizu-youkai wind demon. I take it you are Inuyasha, the Inu-youkai? Or should I say han-you?" said the woman. She looked similar to Kagura, only with a silver kimono and silver hair, similar to that of Inuyasha's. She had red eyes, and her hair seemed to constantly be moving in the wind, even when there was no wind to move it.

"No shit, Captain Obvious! Why are you here!" The littleinu-youkai seemed just a little bit tense. He was actually quitepissed at "Tsukitana". I was just about to tell her too! It was the first time I'd have eversaid it and that bitch ruined it! I'll Kill her!

"Inuyasha, she has a Jyaki Honjin Jewel! I wouldn't mess with her! She was probably sent by Kagura to get us!" Kakiya whispered in the inu-youkai's ear, or at least she tried to, beings that she was about a foot and a half (estimated guess) shorter than him.

The sound was carried on a small gust of wind, and Tsukitana heard them. "you're actually right, you pathetic han-yous. So I would be offended if you forget my name, because I'm here to KILL YOU!!!" Another gail came their way, only this time, they were ready. Inuyasha pulled Kakiya onto his back and used the gail to glide back to camp. Of course, Tsukitana followed.

Back at camp, Senji immediately ran to Kakiya and demanded to know where they had been so long, fearing they had ....ughhgh.... yeah... So. Kakiya explained they had a run-in with a Kizu-youkai, but by that time, Tsukitana was at the camp. She materialized before their very eyes, in the same form she had before. Kizu-youkai are known to change forms depending on the situation. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo all ran over to the others, and Inuyasha again drew Tetsusaiga. "Inuyasha, Kizu-youkai can still be affected by physical attacks when they are in their human form. Shemight take a while to get out of her human form, too," Kakiya hinted from behind Inuyasha's back, a place where even if the sound where carried on the wind, it would bounce off of his back and go the other direction so it would never reach Tsukitana.

"Right!" I can sense it....the place where the two air forces meet....the scar of the wind! "KAZE NO KIZU!" Inuyasha lashed out at the Kizu-youkai with his famous Scar of the Wind attack. It hit! Inuyasha and the gang waited for the smoke to clear.

Senji just stood there with an open mouth, gawking at Inuyasha's attack. "Damn...You are strong..." Kakiya giggled at the look on Senji's face. But I do have to admit, it did look comical .

The smoke cleared. The gang could see nothing for a while. But then Kakiya let them all down when she said "She's still here." Tsukitana materialized in front of them again, but this time, in the form of a young teenage boy. The eyes were red and the hair and clothes were still silver, though...Kizu-youkai have no power over that. "It changes from human to wind quickly. There's only one thing I can do..." Kakiya had to wait though. It is not proper manners to attack while your opponent is speaking.

"I cannot be beaten by such slow attacks, you fools...I am to fast for you!"

"We'll see about that, Tsukitana!" yelled Kakiya. She ran towards Tsukitana at lightning speed, beings she was naturally faster than Kouga. She didn't need the jewel shards or the jewels to become as fast as him. When she got halfway between Inuyasha and Tsukitana, she set up a barrier in less than a second around her,and rose her hand with the palm towards Tsukitana, who froze; she was temporarily paralyzed. "Now Inuyasha! Use the Cyrystal Tetsusaiga! Hurry! You don't have much time! NOW!"

Inuyasha hesitated, thinking he might hit Kakiya, but then he saw the barrier around her that would make the crystal Tetsusaiga go right through her. Immediately, Tetsusaiga began to turn into what looked like a giant quartz crystal. Inuyasha shouted at the top of his lungs, "KONGOUSOUHA!" The crystals flew towards the Kizu-youkai, and almost immediately the youkai was totally and completely destroyed. A small blue sphere floated to the ground as Kakiya let off the barrier. She went and picked it up, and added it to a small chain that had been used to carry the Shikon no Tama shards back in those days around her neck.

Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Senji just stood there, gawking at the pair of demons who had once been hanyou's. They were still known as hanyou's,because no one really knew of Inuyasha's transformation into you-kai to destroy the Shikon no Tama.

Inuyasha ran over to Kakiya. "Kakiya, arigatoo gozaimasu."

"Thanks for what? All I did was paralyze her."

"But that gave me the chance to attack. But I....umm...."

"Hai?" said the curious Kakiya, wondering about what he had wanted to say earlier.

Inuyasha took her into his arms completely to her surprise, and held her. Whathe said made her even more surprised, though."Kakiya, I...Aishiteru yo" Yes, this, too, carried on the wind, and everyone heard it, even Senji, who didn't look to happy about it.

"I love you too, Inuyasha." Kakiya said gladly, her heart full of joy as she looked up at the handsome inu-youkai.

PREVIEW TO CHAPTER 4!!!

OK...He finally told her! But now someone is really mad betcha can't guess who it is and is willing to fight Inuyasha for her. Will Inuyasha fight, knowing Kakiya is for peace, and will likely get mad at him if he does fight? Stay tuned!!!
