Dear lovely readers (especially reviewers!),

I am sad to say that I won't be able to update for a short amount of time. Family crisis. Now, before anyone starts bitching that I'm just using something like that as an excuse, head's up.

My dad told my mom to go find a boyfriend. He also told her he wants a divorce. I'M the one that has to make a decision on what to do with the property, since I'm gonna be the one who inherits it. Hurrah, hurrah. I'm absolutely thrilled.

I might have a new regular-sized chapter up by this weekend, but if I don't, don't get your hopes up.

Because I'm such a kind, considerate person, I've decided to make a shorter chapter. Might as well, hm?

If I seem a bit off...sorry...I'm not taking this lightly, since Emi's father is based off of my own, and you can just see the shit that's happening. Lovely. Positively lovely. I'm trying very hard not to chop my father in half with my NEW, BEAUTIFUL KATANA. :D It's red. And sharp. Whee!

So, anyways...on with the story...review? Please? Love me? ;-; PLEEEASE!)

Kagome and Inuyasha turned around slowly, only to see Suichi bent over Emi, checking for wounds. The young hanyou glanced up at the eyes staring at him in surprise.

"What?" he snapped, ears pinned down.

Kagome laughed. "Nothing, nothing." She waved her hand at him and turned towards the kitchen. "I'll go get you some water. Inuyasha? Where're the glasses?"

The white-haired boy smirked at his cousin and turned back towards the kitchen, leaving Emi and Suichi alone.

"You know," came a voice beneath Suichi, "I'm really alright. You can get off of me now." His eyes widened and he looked down at a pair of bright green-gold eyes staring straight back up at him.

He blushed heavily and threw himself off of her. "I...I, uh..." he mumbled, focusing on the floor.

"I should be more worried about you. You're the one who got hit by my father." She rose from the couch and sat next to him on the floor, examining the bandages. The worst, which was on his arm, was bleeding through. She gasped and ran her fingers over it lightly. "Shit..." Emi muttered, turning away. "I'm sorry."

He "keh"-ed, a habit that rubbed off on him from Inuyasha. "It's nothing. Nothing. I should have been quicker. Don't worry about it."

"Tch, quicker my ass. That was lightning! Only way you could have been quicker was if you were a wind youkai, or storm. You're neither." She tugged on his ear. "So don't give me any 'I should have been quicker' bullshit. Let me be guilty all I Goddamn please." Emi smirked and closed her eyes, leaning back. She could see little shards of memories, something with her gathering a light, and holding onto Suichi as they flew towards his house. Opening her eyes, Emi realized her eyes were making the world around her swirl, she felt weak, and then everything went black.

"Inuyasha? How did Emi turn youkai?" Kagome was sitting on the counter, raising a brow at the hanyou before her. He shrugged. "Oh, what a help you are..." she grunted.

A shout from the living room caught their attention. "Oi! Bring some water! Quick!" Inuyasha and Kagome glanced at eachother, then bolted for their cousins, water in hand. "She must have used too much energy bringing you here, and everything that happened. Speaking of which, do you remember anything?" Kagome asked as she placed a moist cloth on Emi's head. Suichi sighed and shook his head. "Her father knocked me out. Last thing I remember was this huge light coming towards me and seeing her eyes change color in the corner of my eye."

Emi opened her eyes. 'Where the fuck am I..?' she thought, moving her head to her left. Or, at least, trying. 'What the Hells? I can't move! Dammit!'

A sudden movement to her right made her struggle. 'Oh shit, I didn't like that. Nonono. Get up, Emi, get your ass up!' she screamed at herself. An unearthly growl came from where the movement had been, and someone stepped out of the shadows. Their eyes were red, pupils yellow, and they had a single purple streak towards the center of their face on their left cheek.

'Who the Hell is that...' she thought frantically.

"You know who I am," it growled, "and you know what is going to happen to them if you don't do something about it." Apparently, the figure could either read her mind or was merely introducing himself.

'What the fuck are you talking about!'

"They're waiting for you. Go." Well, that meant he could read her mind, then.

Emi saw him disappear into thin air, and everything went black...again.

Krysie here, Emis computers being an ass so I'm updating for her, dont worry, I didnt write this. If I had, people would kill me. -cough- Anyway... heres what Emi has to say! D

(A/N: Spur of the moment thing. You might be able to figure out who it is. Maybe.

Speaking of which...CONTEST! Whoever guesses right gets an advertisement for their fanfic!

One thing though. I will not have any Inu/Kik or Kou/Kag ones. The only pairings I'll let advertised are, as listed...

Inu/Kag
San/Mir
Shi/Sou (Souten or Souta. I don't think there's many Shippo/Souta ones, though...XD)
or...
Shi/Kir
Kou/Aya
Nar/Kik
Sess/Kag (As in Kagura...)
One of Kagome's friends/Hojo

That's all I can really think of. o-o; Eh, yeah. Review! Rawr! If I get enough reviews, mebbe I'll update Friday! If I can think of anything...

Review response time!

inuyashaaddicted: I've wanted to do that for a very, very long time. o-O;;; AND YES! FIRE IS FUN, GODDAMMIT! I don't care if they say I'm a pyromaniac, fire ish awesome! But not as awesome as storms.

uniquechic: I've had that happen before, but not with people from my school...it's amusing when they're all "emily wtf r u talkin bout?" and I'm chattering away in l337, Al Bhed, or Olde English. Sometimes a bit of Japanese. -shrug- I'll put who's who next time.

Lauren: o-o;I appreciate the enthusiasm! Though I wouldn't say this is the best ever. Ones I find much better: The Silent Hanyou (I fucking LOVE this fic...), Once in a Leap Year (Inuyasha. Human for a year. Kagome's time. School. Need I say more? XD), Rebirth (by the Author of Once in a Leap Year, look on her profile for it, it's really good...), Loving Incense (disclaimers own!), HanyouEXE (I wanna have one!), the list goes on and on. Review for them. They rock. -nods-

Top of the world, sitting here wishing
The things I've become, but something is missing
Maybe I...but what do I know?
"On My Own," The Used

I love The Used...especially this song...

Bye for now!)
