"Oo…ka-…san?.."
"Yuki chan, my darling daughter."
"Mother, is it my time to join you?"

"No, sweetie, it is not your time."

"I miss you so much…" Yuki sobbed and tried to embrace the ghastly figure

Of her mother but went through her.

"Mother, I really need your advice,"

"Regarding a certain mercenary, I believe."
"Yes… how did you?..."

"I'm always watching you, my little girl. "

"And, you can hear my thoughts?"
"No, but it is quite obvious."

"It is, huh?"
"Yes, especially now, you risked your life to save his, you don't do something

like this for just anyone, right?"

"I guess so… but why can't I admit it to myself? I always deny, giving myself some pathetic excuse."

"I f you realize those are merely excuses, it means you've admitted it."

"That makes sense. Oh mommy! I wish you were there all the time, I need you, I'm so lost without you… and I miss dads' pointless jokes and Will…"

"This may sound very cliché, but it might have been destiny…"

"I think I understand what you mean but still…"

"I know what I'm about to say will be a very difficult task, but you have got

to accept it and move on. There is happiness in store for you."

Yuki dried her eyes.

"I'm afraid it is time to relinquish, my dear. "

"Not yet, please, just a few more minutes…"

"There is one more thing, I can not say much of it but I do know your cousin isn't the only one with special powers… goodbye now, saiai Yuki."

"Ookasan!"

"Mama… mama…"

"Yuki, wake up. Come on…"

She slowly opened her eyes. "Ban…kotsu?"

"Daijoubu desu ka?"

"Hai… I think…"

"You gave me…us I mean, quite scare back there. Don't ever try something stupid like that again."

"But you…"

"I… Yuki, there's something about us you should know."

"Nani?"

"We're all…dead."
"NANI?"

"We died a decade ago…"

"This is a bad time for jokes…"

"I'm not kidding. A demon called Naraku brought us back to life

using shard of the shikon no tama.

"Oh my god…"
"So you really don't need to take a hit for me, it can't kill me."

"Oh, that's why you said not to try something like that again…"

'He doesn't care…'

'She probably thinks I don't care… well it's better that way…' he thought.

"Yuki…" he began but noticed she fell asleep.

'I don't want to talk to him right now…' She thought and put herself to sleep.

"What the hell is he doing?" Suikotsu asked.

"Playing kissy face with that kisama onna." Renkotsu said.

"URUSAI!" Jakotsu yelled, "He's our leader, he know what he's doing."
"Yeah right…"Renkotsu whispered to himself.

"What are you girls gossiping about?" Bankotsu came towards them with Yuki

in his arms.

"Well, Renkotsu says that you and this…" He said with disgust, "Thing, were

doing ehhmmm SOMETHING back there." Jakotsu snitched.

"I was just taking care of her injuries, not that I need to justify myself before you…"

"You're right, Oo-aniki. I should not have questioned your actions." 'Baka teme… if only I could put my hands on more of those jewel shards I would…'

"Listen up! Suikotsu and Jakotsu will go after that Sesshomaru guy…"

"Naze?" Jakotsu whined.

"What is it?" Bankotsu asked."

"I want to fight that kawaii Inuyasha!"

"From what I've heard this Sesshomaru is suppose to be good looking."

"Demo…"
"That's enough! Anyway, Ginkotsu and Renkotsu will go together and I'll take

Yuki with me."

'How so very surprising….' Renkotsu thought.

'I don't like that look on his face…' Bankotsu thought of Renkotsu, 'He's defiantly

up to no good…'
