Last time-
"Ow. That hurt. You don't have to get your undies in a bunch. God!" Ravyn said as she rubbed her wrist. "So, where does all my crap go?" She asked InuYasha while looking at how his brother looked.(thats sounds really dumb, but oh well, deal with it) He was wearing a black suit with a gold tie and a white shirt, he had silver hair like InuYasha's, but it wasn't as messy and was as long as Ravyn's. He had amber eyes like InuYasha's, but they were way colder than his (inuyasha's). He also had two purple stripes on either side of his face and on his wrists.
"It goes in one of the guest rooms. Do you want the one by my room or Sesshoumaru's?" InuYasha asked, almost certain that she would pick the one by his room.
"The one by Sesshoumaru's." She said, knowing that both the brother's would hate it.
"Ok. Then follow me." He(inuyasha) said, leading her to a room that was upstairs, right next to what looked like Sesshoumaru's room.
"Now to unpack Ravyn's stuff. Have fun guys! Me, Rin, and Ayame are going to show Ravyn InuYasha's room." Sango said as she shut the door to the guest room and ran to InuYasha's room, with the other girls right on her heels, and locked the door.
"Ok, Ravyn. A couple things," Rin started, letting Ayame talk next.
"Number one, if you want to bug Sesshy, call him 'Fluffy'. It's hilarious."
"Number two," Sango said, "get to the bathroom first and take a long time and use, like, all the hot water. This bugs them both."
"Number three," Rin continued, "play your music extremely loud, it makes Fluffy go balistic."
And number four, hog the remote, and if they try to get it from you, run to your room and lock the door. It's so funny." Ayame finished.
"This will be fun." Ravyn said, as all the girls starting laughing manically, right as the boys came in.
This time-
"What are you all laughing at?" Cowlick asked as the boys walked in the room.
"Nothing." They (the girls) answered innocently.
"Whatever. Girls are so weird." InuYasha muttered as he sat on his bed. "I'm bored, now what?"
"Let's go to the mall." Ravyn suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"The mall it is. So, whose car?"
"Let's skateboard there." Kouga suggested, grabbing his board (he left it at inu's house like a week ago).
"Skateboard it is. Does everyone have a board, I need to go home and get mine." Ravyn said, walking to the door, but paused noticing a picture of InuYasha and some girl who looked like Kikyo, except she was a punk and not a prep, hugging each other as if they were going out. "Is that Kikyo?" She asked, wondering who would want to go out with a prep like Kikyo, and how Kikyo could ever be a punk.
"That's my ex, Kagome Higurashi." InuYasha said quietly. (told you i would put kagome in here)
"If she's your ex, then why do you have a picture of her?" Rayn asked, feeling kinda hurt since she could tell that InuYasha had feelings for this girl.
"JUST BECAUSE! OK?" InuYasha yelled, storming out of his room.
"What's with him. It was just a question." Ravyn said, still looking at the picture.
"You see, Ravyn..." Miroku started. "InuYasha and Kagome had known each other since they were in diapers. And by the time they were 5, they were best friends. When they were 12, they started going out. And were for a long time. But, two months ago,Naraku, with the help of Kikyo, kidnapped Kagome to try and force InuYasha to hand over his dad's business that he wouldn't let Naraku have. InuYasha didn't hand it over, so Naraku ordered Kagome to be killed. Kikyo offered to do the killing and was granted her wish. She had said that Kagome deserved it because she 'stole' InuYasha from her, when in reality, she never had him in the first place." He finished, looking at Ravyn to see that she was changing into her Demi-wyvern form.
"Oh my god. If I had known that, I wouldn't had asked. So Kikyo does kill humans. That's not a surprise. She won't live through the year. You can count on it. And now, I have two reasons to kill her." She said, her emotions changing from what looked liked jealously, to sadness, to anger, to sadisitic joy.
"What's the second reason, Ravyn?" Rin asked, hoping that Ravyn wouldn't blow up like InuYasha.
"Well, when I was 6, before we started moving around everywhere, back when my family was all alive, we moved to Kyoto because my mom had gotten a part in a movie that was going to be shot there and she didn't want to be separated from her family for a whole year. I had to go to a new school, and it was there that I met Kikyo. We became best friends and were inseperable. Then, over then summer before middle school, we both changed, a lot. She became a prep, and I became a punk. We tried to stay friends, but she didn't want to ruin her reputation, so we lost touch. Then, one day, she was talking her 'friends' and said probably the lowest and most defiling(sp?) thing anyone could ever say." She explain, while silent tears started falling down her face.
"What did she say?" Sango asked timidly, wondering if she really wanted to know.
"She...she said that a no-good half breed like me should be killed for being a flaw and a disgraceto humanity." Ravyn replied, finally breaking down and crying hysterically. (in case your wondering, this happened before Kikyo was completely turned into a dim-witted prep, she was prep, but still smart at the time. thats kinda funny, Kikyo being smart)
"Are you coming or not?" Inu Yasha said arrogantly (sp?) as he came back to his room, completely unaware that Ravyn had just revealed her secret that not even her mom knew about. "What's her problem?"
The group, minus Ravyn and InuYasha, silently decided that Ayame would tell InuYasha about what had happened while he was throwing his little temper-tantrum.
time break/scene change, about 20 minutes, at the mall- (ravyn was back in her human form)
Sango's POV--
We were now at the mall, going no where in particular (this reminds of the movie The Wind and the Willows) when Ravyn screamed and ran over to a punk-chick who was talking to her friends.
"ETHEN!" Ravyn screamed as the two girls embraced as if they haven't seen each other in years.
"Ravyn! Is that you! I haven't seen you in years! When did you get back to Tokyo?" The girl said to Ravyn. Ravyn must have lived here before if she knew this girl, 'cause I have seen her working at the Starbucks(dont own) on Main for at least 5 years now.
"I've been here for about a week. How's Ally doing. Has she gotten any better?" Ravyn asked her. Who's Ally, I wondered.
"Yeah. Ally's cured. Can you believe it? She goes to Shikon High now. She's actually able to go to school!" The girl said excitingly. (is that a word?it is now)
"Are you serious! That's where I go now! I have to talk to her the next time I see her! I can't believe she's better! Come, you must meet my friends!" Ravyn said, pulling the girl towards us. (yes, i know i stole a line from teen titans, but it wasn't on purpose. i swear! and i dont feel like changing it)
InuYasha's POV--
Ravyn dragged some girl over to us and introduced her to us. She's probably someone she knew before she started moving everywhere. She was some kind of demon, probably a bat or something, and she looked a little older than Ravyn. She had aqua-green eyes, dark purple hair that was longer that Fluffy's, (thats what inu call sesshy's) withviolet bangs that only went to her mid-back that hung in front of her face, pointed ears and fangs. She had some weird symbols on her face that looked like the one's on Ravyn's was she was in her half demon forms. She was the same height as Ravyn, only a little taller. I don't trust her, you should never trust a bat (he doesnt even know her, and he already hates her? so like InuYasha)
Normal POV-- (only because InuYasha probably didnt know what half of these were called)
She was wearing a grey shoulder-bearing belly shirt that had short sleeves and an uneven bottom hem line, a short black shirt that had a right slanted hem, (if you were looking at her. it means that on her left side, it was shorter than it was on her right, and it was a connected with a slant) and purple boots that went to her knee that came up in a point. (i drew a picture of her, if i could post it, i would, cause then it would be much easier to explain)
Back to Inu's POV--
"Everyone... this is Ethen. Ethen... this is Rin, Ty, we call him Cowlick, Miroku, Sango, Ayame, Kouga, and InuYasha." She said pointing to all of us.
"Hey, whats up?" The girl said, getting hi's from everyone except me.
"So, what kind of demon are you?" I asked, making sure to hint in my voice that she shouldn't try anything stupid.
"I'm a northern dragon youkai. And you are an inuyoukai, I presume?" She said, trying to sound smart. (what an idiot, she is smart. if i didnt mention it before, i'm mentioning it now) If she's a dragon, then she's not as bad. But I still don't like her.
"I'm a hanyou. If you have a problem, deal with it." I said, she's probably just like most pure blooded youkai. (apparantly, he doesn't realize that her best friend is a hanyou)
"That's awesome. Are you by any chance related to Sesshoumaru Taisho?" She asked me. Related? He's my freakin' half brother.
"He's my half brother." I said. "How do you know him?" I asked. Sesshoumaru never dated a punk. Or did he? I thought.
"He was my tutor at Tokyo University.(is there really a tokyo university. cuz there is in this story) I'm majoring in Ancient Cultures and Societies, and I wasn't getting it a first so he was assigned as my tutor. He's so cold, how do you put up with him?" She said. So that's why he used to be home so late.
"I don't." I mumbled. She's getting annoying.
Normal POV--
One of Ethen's friends was calling her.
"Well, I got to go, Ravyn. You have to audition our band. We've been needed a vocalist forever, so we're holding auditions, and your the best singer I know! Call me. See ya!" She said, writing down her number and giving it to Ravyn before she gave her one last hug and going back to her friends.
"You sing?" Miroku asked, hoping that she wouldn't take her friends offer.
"Yeah, when we go back to Inu's house, I can play something for you guys." Ravyn said, walking into Hot Topic.
"Lets go now." Sango suggested, walking in after Ravyn.
"Ok. But first, I need to get some stuff for my room at InuYasha's." She said, while picking out assorted pillows, blankets, posters, and other room decor.
time break, 40 minutes-
"You're total comes out to $457.32" The cashier said as Ravyn handed him her credit card.
"Can I see some ID?" He asked as Ravyn showed it to him. "Thank you, have a nice day."
"Ya know, Ravyn. 40 MINUTES LATER ISN'T NOW!" InuYasha screamed at her.
"Down, puppy. Someone get his leash! Please!" Ravyn teased him, running away when he started chasing her. (thats why she said the leash thing)
time break/scene change, about 15 minutes, in InuYasha's house-
"Now I will play something for you." Ravyn said as she grabbed her guitar case. (she had someone bring it over)
"We need to go to the basement, though. That's where all our equipment is." Sango said, as she headed towards the door.
"You guys play!"
"Yeah. We have a band. It's called 'No Spirit'. I play keyboard and background vocals, Miroku plays bass, Cowlick plays drums, Kouga plays 2nd guitar, and InuYasha plays lead guitar and sings. Even though he sucks at singing."
"HEY!" InuYasha yelled. "I sing fine!"
"Sure ya do. So what should we play?" Miroku said as he grabbed his bass. (all of their insturments were already set up, so they were plugged in already.
"How about HIM 'Buried Alive By Love'? And I'll be singing." Ravyn asked as she plugged her guitar. This one was a black and red Strat (dont own) with 'Sinister' written in burgendy on the neck.
They all got their instuments ready as Cowlick started on his drums.
Again the burden of losing rests upon my shoulders
And its weight seems unbearable
Your tomb is where heart is
I should have told her
But within me hid a secret so terrible
To cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been
Buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
I pray no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
I pray no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile, yeah
The kiss of vanity blessed me with a spiritual murder
And fed the gods of war insatiable
Your home is where the dark is
I should have told her
And embraced the fire indestructable
To die is to know that your alive
And my river of blood won't run dry
I never wanted to lose you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feel like I've been
Buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
I pray no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
I pray no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
And they say to cry is to know that your alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a deserted soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been
Buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
I pray no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
I pray no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
I've been buried alive by love (buried alive by love)
I've been buried alive by love (buried alive by love)
I've been buried alive by love (buried alive by love)
I've been buried alive by love (buried alive by love)
I've been buried alive by love (buried alive by love)
I've been buried alive by love (buried alive by love)
I've been buried alive by love
When she finished, everyone was just looking at her with their mouths hanging open.
"What?" She asked, not realizing how how good she actually was.
"You were awesome! You have to join our band!" Cowlick said, while everyone, except InuYasha, nodded their heads in agreement.
"Hold on. Let's see the range of her talents. Sing My Immortal"(dont own)InuYasha said, not showing that he was, too, impressed with her abilities.
"Okie dokie smokie pokie!" (i love saying that!) Ravyn said while taking a drink from a glass of water she brought down with her.
"Ready Sango?" She said, knowing that she(sango) needed to be ready for the song to sound right.
"Aye! Aye! Capitan Ravyn!" She joked while starting to play.
I'm so tired of being here
Supressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just much that time cannot erase
When you'd cry I'd
Wipe away all of your tears
When you's scream I'd
Fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have...
All of me
You used to capitivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by
The life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you'd cry I'd
Wipe away all of your tears
When you's scream I'd
Fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have...
All of me
I've tried so hard
To tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you'd cry I'd
Wipe away all of your tears
When you's scream I'd
Fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have...
All of me...oh
Me...oh
Me...oh
When she finished, they were all convinced that she was perfect for the band.
"You're perfect for the band!" Sango squealed.
"Alright, so she's good. And in. But that's doesn't mean anything. We both can sing good." InuYasha said, crossing his arms and using bad grammar.
"Aw. Come on Inu. Let's just see how well we sing together. Lets sing Bring Me To Life" Ravyn said, talking like she was a toddler.
"Fine." He said defiantly. "Ready?"
"You bet!" Was the response he got from everyone.
(Ravyn, InuYasha, Sango
How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors
Leading you down
Into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul (soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Untuil you find it there and lead
It back...home
Wake me up
Wae me up inside
I can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me from the dark
Wake me up
Bid my blood to run
I can't wake up
Before I come undone
Save me
Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me (Ohhh
Breathe into me
And make me real
Bring me... to life
Wake me up
Wae me up inside
I can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me from the dark
Wake me up
Bid my blood to run
I can't wake up
Before I come undone
Save me
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
I've been livin' a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life
Frozen inside (Frozen inside
Without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you (Only you
Are the life among the dead
All of this time
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
But you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping
A thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life
Wake me up
Wae me up inside
I can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me from the dark
Wake me up
Bid my blood to run
I can't wake up
Before I come undone
Save me
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
I've been livin' a lie (please)
There's nothing inside (inside
Bring me to life
"That was so awesome you guys!" Ayame said looking at them from the couch she and Rin were on.
"Thanks!" Ravyn said, smiling big. "I guess we do make a pretty good team. And since we already have two guitarists, I guess I should just sing, and play sometimes."
"We rock!" Ty (its such a pain to write cowlick, but oh well) shouted, banging his drum sticks together just as the doorbell rang.
'DING DONG!'
"Get the door InuYasha." Sesshoumaru said, not raising his voice because he knew they could hear him.
"Whatever." He said as the group went upstairs to the door. (they were in the basement, remember)
Ravyn's POV--
"Can we help you?" I asked as I opened the door because I got there first.
"Hello Ravyn."
WHAT? I thought as a changed into my Demi-wyvern form. Ready to fight if I needed to.
end chappy
HAHA! cliffy! who is it? you'll never know unless you review! HA! also i would like to know if you want Ethen with Fluffy or not. and Ethen's name is pronounced ee-then. Oh, and, both of ravyn's parents' species had demi-forms and full demon forms. just a little background. also vote if you want me to just post the characters' info. Thanks! Luv ya all!
((now for your pretty little vocab that probably no one reads:D))
Demi-wyvern form: Ravyn's form where she half changes into her wyvern form. It consists of yellow eyes, fangs, a panther's tail, black scales that appear on her arms and neck, and the symbols for "flight", "strength", beauty", and "grace" appear on her face written in a lost language.
sadistic: it has to do with getting pleasure from mistreating others
defiling(adj.): lowly
humanity: people
flaw: a fault
northern dragon youkai: there are four different types of dragon youkai, nothern, southern, eastern, and western, each is slightly different from the other, some in ways that you can't even tell. the northern dragon youkai originally came from northern Japan. (in my story) The northern dragon's have a culture very close to the cobra culture, so their languages are the same. The symbols on Ethen's face mean "pride", "grace", and "mercy"
