Everyone walked back to the castle in silence until Rin started to ask Kayva questions. "Kayva, is this your brother and sister?" Rin asked looking at Silo and Ravi.
Kayva laughed, "Ravi is my brother, but Silo is our bet friend. She lived with us in our country." Kayva said looking to the sky with a sad look in her eyes.
"Where did you come from?" Rin asked pulling Kayva out of her daze.
"We lived in India. Do you know where that is Rin?" Rin shock her head. She had heard of the country, but she had no idea where it was. "It's west if here, and larger then Japan. It's very different." Kayva looked at Rin and noticed that she was looking at Leela. "Would you like to ride Leela Rin?" Rin smiled a large toothy smile and nodded. Kayva lifted the little girl onto the horse.
Ravi noticed that Sesshoumaru was paying attention to what Kayva was saying to Rin. Ravi approached the demon lord, "You seem interested in what my sister is saying to your ward."
Sesshoumaru looked at the black haired demon. "I just wanted to know who you are. We know nothing about you, and what she is saying to Rin is more then any of you have said to the rest of us." Sesshoumaru glared at the demon, but he did nothing.
"Our lives are open books. If you want to know anything, just ask, but we caution you to know that, our lives are hard ones to take in. You might not want to know everything." Ravi looked at Sesshoumaru not even fazed by the look he was getting by the white haired demon, but before anyone could say anything else, they heard a bird call from above. Everyone looked up knowing that it sounded like nothing they had ever heard. Ravi just smiled as though he knew the sound. Within a second, a bird came down from the sky. It looked as though it was on fire, Ravi stuck his arm out, and the bird landed on it. Just as it landed on him the flames around the bird disappeared. The bird stood tall with a white feather in his mouth.
"What the hell is that?" Lord Baku asked looking at the bird in wonder.
"It's a Phoenix, his name is Yamir. I don't think they are any where but the country that we are from. They are very rare, even there." Ravi said taking the feather out of his mouth. Yamir then walked his way to Ravi's shoulder.
"What did he have?" Kayva asked looking at her brother. He then handed her the feather that the bird had in his mouth. "This is the same feather that Kagura woman pulled out of her hair. Did you steal one of her feathers Yamir?" The bird just cooed and looked at Kayva.
"Is that your bird Kayva?" Rin asked looking at the bird that was on Ravi's shoulder. "No Rin, this bird is my brother's bird. In our family, everyone, at birth, gets a special animal. Mine was Leela, and my brother got Yamir." Rin looked at the bird with large eyes. She had never seen anything like it before, but before anyone could say anything else, Yamir decided that he no longer wanted to be around these people. His feathers started to burn, and he took off into the sky.
Sesshoumaru walked behind Kayva and Rin watching them talk about whatever. He then realized that the Northern Lord was watching her as well. Sesshoumaru felt a ping in his heart. He had no idea why he would feel that way. He did not know this woman, and he did not know if he would ever know her, but he still did not like it when other man looked at her.
When everyone took their sets in the council room, the Snake demon spoke first, "I do believe that everyone here is wondering who you are. Please tell us." Kayva looked at the demons in front of her and said, "Where would you like us to start?" The Snake demon looked at the woman. He had no idea what she was talking about. "From the beginning, perhaps that would be the best."
Kayva stared at the ceiling not knowing what to say. Ravi and Silo looked at her, knowing that she was going to take everything on herself. "In our country the four lords and their family control an element. The family of the South controlled water, family of the west controlled earth, the family of the east controlled the wind, and our family, the family of the north, controlled fire. When I was about 50 years old, Ravi, Silo and I went to a village that was about two days away. When we came back, our home was gone; everyone that we knew was killed or kidnapped. Within seconds, we too were kidnapped and put under a curse as well. We were put in slavery along with many other people. We all were split up, going to different places. For five hundred I went from Lord to Sultan to king. Ravi and Silo had more of a stable living. I was then bought by a woman that set me free, it took some time, but she found away to subdue the curse and helped me find both Ravi and Silo. We then went back to India found our horses and Yamir; we could not stay there any longer. It had changed so much. All the families that we once knew were gone. There was nothing there for us. We traveled our away to Japan, making a name for ourselves. Now we find ourselves, almost six hundred years later, in front of a bunch of Lords and Councilmen proclaiming who and what we really are."
The man sat there listening to what the woman was saying. They had no idea what they had been though so much. "Now that we have answered your question, tell us why were here." Kayva stared at the men in front of her. They had dragged her and her companions here without a word as to why.
The dragon demon from the north looked at the woman. He was surprised by her bluntness, but he guessed that they deserved an answer. "Have you heard of a demon by the name if Naraku?" He looked at the woman in front of him. "No, that woman Kagura said something about him though. Something like she was sent to see how strong I really was." The dragon demon looked at her and nodded. "Yes, Kagura is one of Naraku's reincarnations. She is one of many really." Kayva looked at Ravi and Silo in shock. She had no idea how many reincarnations one person can have when still alive.
Ravi looked at the Councilmen. "What does this have to do with us?" The snake demon of the South looked at him and said, "We want the three of you to destroy him." "What will we get out of it," Silo said looking at the Lords and the Councilmen. "You will be paid handsomely when we have evidence to Naraku's death." The snake demon looked at the three in front of him, taking in everything that came from them.
Ravi and Silo looked around the room. They knew nothing of this Naraku, but they knew from the way that everyone talked about him that he was no good. They looked at Kayva, looking for something, anything that would try and put they way she was feeling, but nothing. She stared straight ahead looking at the white-haired demon named Sesshoumaru. Then from nowhere she said, "We'll do it." Silo and Ravi were stunned; they had no idea that she was going to accept something like this.
The councilmen and the Lords were stunned. Sesshoumaru just stared at Kayva. He had no idea what drew him to her, but he knew that she was something special. "Great, if I might say, we don't know too much about Naraku. He is a difficult demon to figure out." The hawk demon said looking at the three demons. "Then how do you expect us to fight something that we have no idea about. This is crazy." Ravi was wild. He had no idea why his sister would put them up to something that they could not fight.
Sesshoumaru broke his gaze with Kayva. Out of everyone here, he knew that most about Naraku. Sesshoumaru looked around the room and said, "I know more about Naraku then most. I will tell you what I know." The wolf demon of the west looked at him and said, "Great, then I believe that Kayva, Silo and Ravi should go to the West with you. You should tell them everything that you know about him. Then we can put this all behind us when he is died." Sesshoumaru glared at the wolf demon. He did not know if he wanted the three demons in his home, but he was not about to argue.
As the Lords and the Councilmen left the room, Kayva, Silo and Ravi stayed behind to talk. Sesshoumaru could hear the three of them speaking, but he had no idea what they were saying. They talked in a tongue he did not know, but he could feel the anger coming from the room. Before he knew it, Silo had slipped out of the room. She looked at the door and shocked her head. She then turned to Sesshoumaru, "I swear if they weren't related then they would cut each other's heads off." Silo looked at the demon lord. She really had not looked at him since they got there, but he was attractive. She knew why he liked Kayva so much. She was the perfect youkai female, and he was the perfect youkai male.
Before anyone could say anything else, Ravi came out of the room with his hands in the air. "I swear that if she weren't my sister I would have her head on a platter." Ravi was madder then anything Silo had ever seen, but she dare not see what Kayva looked like. Then with a slam of the door, Kayva came out. She looked claim on the outside, but you could just see the anger in her eyes. She glared at her brother who glanced away the second she looked at him. She then set her cold eyes on Sesshoumaru; he then understood why her brother glanced away. He fought the urge to look away. Her gaze felt like it went though him. He wondered for a second if that was what people felt like when he glared at them.
"I was wondering when you are leaving Lord Sesshoumaru." Kayva said, as her gaze softened a little bit.
"I will be leaving in the morning when the sun rises." Sesshoumaru said looking at the beautiful woman in front of him.
"Good, we will meet you in the front garden. I hope that you have a good nights sleep." With that, Kayva turned and walked away, with a nod and a smile to both Ravi and Silo.
"Sometimes I wonder if she is okay." Ravi said looking at his sister as she walked back to her room.
"Well, I think we've known her too long to know that there in nothing wrong." Silo said walking away saying goodnight to both Ravi and Sesshoumaru.
Ravi then looked at Sesshoumaru and said, "I hope that you don't think that we're crazy. You have to understand were we are coming from. We know more about each other then anyone should ever know about anyone. I love my sister and Silo as a sister. They are my family, and will do anything for them. I will see you in the morning Lord Sesshoumaru. This is going to be a crazy ride." Ravi walked away to his room without saying anything else.
Sesshoumaru looked in the direction that the three demons had left in. He did not know what was going to happen, but he had an idea that Ravi was right about it going to be crazy. He then turned on his heel and walked to his room, waiting for the new day to begin.
