defintion at end of chappy

Last Time:

Ravyn went to her room to change into her dancer's outfit. It consisted of a black shirt that tied in the back and around the neck, a long black skirt that had a green scarf hanging down to the ground in the middle, a red string tied around her upper arm, and three strings hanging from her middle fingers, two on the left, one on the right. Her outfit revealed even more symbols that were on her body in her Demi-cobra form. On her stomach, there were the symbols for "passion" and "love", on her left shoulder, there was the symbol for "cobra", on her right upper arm, there was the symbol for "strength", and on her left ankle, there was the symbol for "pride". She also had two silver line going down the middle of her eyelids that continued onto her cheeks. (i drew a picture of it, it would make all this easier.)

She made her way to the other guestroom, being careful not too have anyone see her, little did she know that she was seen.

Sesshoumaru's POV--

I was on my way to my room, after Naraku and his bitch tried once again to get my father's company, when I saw that Ravyn girl come out of her room dressed very weirdly, well, weirder than normal. She was wearing the clothes of a dancer that I would only expect to see in a cobra demon tribe's village. Then it hit me. She must be a cobra demon. How could I not have noticed? God, I feel like such an idiot now.

This Time:

Ravyn's POV--

I made my way to the other guestroom, luckily I wasn't seen. I decided to practice my favorite dance, Shakali, or the dance of Sorilahe. I performed it with Takoshi last year when we snuck away to my father's old village for Dajida, or the festival of the night. I guess it's my favorite dance because it's different than the other dances of the Dajida festival and only my family is able to perform it. Instead of the usual rhythms, it has a beat that vibrates inside you when you start, and it actually has song, instead of the usual spoken prayers at the end of a dance.

Although I can fight better in my panther form then my cobra form, I've just always had more respect for my cobra side. I mean, yeah, I love my other side, but it just seems like I should've been a cobra. I think it might be because, although both my parents were half demons, the cobras don't care if your a full or half demon, but the panthers would shun you before you were even born if you were a hanyou, like my mother was. And sometimes, I just wish that there was someone or something that could make me into justa cobra hanyou, or even a full-blooded cobra youkai. But I know that there isn't anything that's possibly able to do that. (i wont give away that much, but there is a way)

I cleared my mind of all those thoughts and started my dance.

Normal POV-

She closed her eyes, stretched upward, crossed her wrists above her head, and stood on the balls of her feet for moment before starting her dance. (if any of you have read Snakecharm by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, then this pose may sound familar, so no one sues me, i got this idea from that book, ok? good)

The dance started of slow and easy, and although there was no music now, it was normally accompanied by the steady beat of a drum and the melody of a harp. She started the song and her voice, althoughsoft, held so much passion that you could here it perfectly if you were standing a mile away from her. (inuyasha & co. were listening to music so they couldnt here her)

scene change, with Sesshoumaru, Ravyn just started her dance-

Sesshoumaru's POV--

I decided to follow the girl. I read once that the the dances of cobra youkai were very unique and beautiful, and that they were something you would remember all your life. I wanted to see if they really were as wonderful as people say they are.

As I got closer to the guest room, I heard a soft noise, like she was singing. I never knew that there were songs that accompanied the dances, only spoken words at the end of them. (a/n he didnt have much knowledge of them, he only knows these because he studied ancient cultures and societies in college, ya know, he tutored Ethen, remember?)

I quietly opened the door, and what I saw amazed me. She was in the middle of the dance and was, indeed, singing. I couldn't understand what she was saying, their language was ancient and I knew nothing of it, but I did know that very few people that weren't cobra demons knew how to understand it.

She was gliding through the dance flawlessly, with grace and passion radiating from her entire being. She had her eyes closed, and the way her clothes moved around her with each turn and left little to the imagination. She was beautiful. The way she danced, the way she sang, it was so soft and angelic.

Ravyn's POV--

I was in the middle of the most complicated movement of the Shakali when I turned around and froze when I saw Sesshoumaru standing in the doorway, staring at me. How long has he been there?

"Seeshoumaru!" I gasped, hoping he had just came in. "How long have you been standing?"

"Why does it matter? It's just a dance." He responded coldly. JUST A DANCE!

"JUST A DANCE? THE SHAKALI IS NOT JUST A DANCE! IT'S SACRED TO MY PEOPLE! DON'T EVER CALL THE SHAKALI JUST A DANCE!" I yelled, mere inches from his face, forgetting that everyone was in the room right next to me.

"I will ask you to keep your voice down while your in my house, little girl." He said quietly and threatening.

I was about to tell him off for calling me little, but I heard InuYasha walking to his door. Shit!

"Please don't tell them what I was doing. Please. I'm begging you. I'll do whatever you want but don't tell them. Please." I asked him while I started walking toward my room. Oh, please. He can't tell them. He can't. He wouldn't. Would he?

"Fine. I'll be coming by later to discuss your end of this deal. Understood?" He said.

I nodded my head in agreement and mouthed 'thank you' before I ran to my room to change.

Normal POV--

"What the hell was that?" InuYasha said as he came out of his room, followed by everyone else.

"Nothing of your concern." Sesshoumaruresponded coldly as he walked away.

"Asshole." InuYasha muttered under his breath before turning his attention back to his friends.

"Hey, you guys? Have you seen Ravyn? I haven't seen her since Naraku and Kikyo were here." Sango said, looking around the hall. (that was 45 min. ago, Ravyn started dancing 15 min ago, it took her a long time to get dressed and the dance is really long)

Everyone shook their heads no in response.

"Maybe we should check her room." Ayame said, walking toward Ravyn's room.

scene change, outside ravyn's room-

'KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK' InuYasha knocked, more like banged, on the door. "Ya in there, Ravyn? OPEN THE DOOR!" He shouted.

"Just wait a goddamn minute. JESUS CHRIST!" Ravyn yelled through the door as she stumbled to open it, tripping over her bed in the process. "Now what's so fuckin' important that you fuckin' almost have to knock down the fuckin' goddamn mother fuckin' door?" She yelled at InuYasha, who was practically drooling over the pajamas she was wearing. She had on a pair of low-rise blue camoflage sweatpants and a black cami that showed just enough clevage that is wasn't slutty, but enough to tempt a guy, and her hair was up in her beanie, but the one thing InuYasha didn't notice and the thing that Ravyn forgot was that it was night of the full moon, and she was human.

"Someone's PMSing." Miroku whispered to Cowlick and Kouga, who started cracking up.

"IS SOMETHING ABOUT ME FUNNY TO YOU?" She yelled at the boys, shutting them up instantly. "Yes, it is a certain time of the month for me, but not the time that you're thinking about. Tonight is the full moon. And I despise the fact that this stupid thing lasts until sunset tomorrow. And yes, I am aware that my eyes are violet like yours, Miroku." She added, reading his mind.

How can she read his mind? Sango wondered, not knowing that Ravyn could read everybody's mind, as well as talk to them through their mind.

"Because anyone who is a wyvern youkai or has a wyvern form can read minds, Sango. InuYasha, you are just as perverted as Miroku, I never knew you felt that way about me." She said the last part seductively, watching in amusement the way his face turned bright red at her comment.

"Now, if you excuse me, I was in the middle of writing. And you would be smart not to bother me when I'm writing." She said, adding the last part quietly and sounding sinister. Without another word, she walked back into her room and locked the door.

time break, 17minutes-

Sesshoumaru waited until everyone left to go talk to Ravyn. He walked up and knocked on her door, usually he wouldn't wait for a response, but he found that the door was locked.

"Who is it?" Ravyn's voice came through the door, sounding slightly irratated.

"Sesshoumaru. Let me in." He replied in monotone.

She waved her hand at the door and it unlocked and opened itself, all the while not taking her eyes off of the book she was reading. (remember, i showed in the first chapter that she had telekinetic powers)

"What do you want?" She said, still not taking her eyes off the book.

"To discuss your end of the deal remember?" He said, walking into the room.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." She mumbled, placing her bookmark in her book. What torture is he going to do to me. I can just imagine, by the way Ethen used to rant about him in her letters, it has to be pretty bad.

end chappy!

Well, there you go! I know its short, but part of it is already posted! Don't Kill Me! I'm soooo sorry it took so long! I promiseI will try to overcome my writers block! I SWEAR! Oh, and I will be gone from the 20th-22th and then again from the 3rd to the 10th. So I might not be updating for a while. Please review, flames welcome, besides, I'm gettin kinda cold!

And a side note: When Ravyn is human, it lasts from the sunset on the night of the full moon til sunset of the next day. When she's human, she has violet-gray eyes, normal ears, and her hair is completely black. Everything else is like a normal human. And during the time that Ravyn ran to her room and the time everyone showed up at her door was when the sun set.
