CHAPTER4- In the Westlands

"Stop fighting you two," The gang had been traveling west for a little while now with Lita-Jade and Kagura in the back. It wasn't quite noon yet and InuYasha and Syaoran were at it already. "Can I ask you a question Miroku?" Eli said catching up to him. Miroku looked at him acknowledging and he continued. "Do you have any idea why we're going this far west?" Miroku shrugged and continued. Lita-Jade asked Kagura to wait for a minute. When she nodded Lita-Jade ran up to InuYasha. "Inu-chan, do you know were your leading us?" He nodded which worried Lita-Jade more, "Then why are you leading us there then? You don't like him, last time I checked anyway. Time hasn't changed that much over 50 years has it?" He shook his head, "I still do hate him. It's just that I was talking to Myoga earlier, when everyone was asleep, he said that there was something wrong in the Westlands." Lita-Jade frowned "What does it mater to us, he wouldn't let us help if the entire region was at stake. He doesn't like our blood remember? Or have you forgotten that to?" She said turning away pouting. "You know..." InuYasha began with a smirk, "If I didn't know better, I'd say you were scared of him," she turned around smirking as well "Well— I guess it's a good thing you know me then." She ran back to Kagura to pick back up their conversation.

When the group was on the outskirts of the western region Myoga appeared. "Master InuYasha, Lord Sesshomaru is awaiting you inside." He jumped on InuYasha's shoulder and seen the kids and Lita-Jade. "Lady Jade? When did you arrive?" Myoga said jumping onto Lita-Jades shoulder. "Konichiwa Myoga-jiji. This morning."

Lita-Jade ended the conversation and walked beside InuYasha shyly as they passed villagers watching them. People were talking and laughing as they past. They weren't talking about the others just the hanyou's up front. (The kids looked demon.) Lita-Jade looked up at InuYasha with sad eyes and grabbed his arm. "Why do they have to talk so loud, we have ears. This is just as bad as when we were little and we still can't stop them." "Just ignore it, we're here anyway," InuYasha said as two demons opened the GIGANTIC wooden doors. Lita-Jade rolled her eyes, let go of InuYasha, and crossed her arms. "Yeah, away from the peasants who can't hurt us to the castle full of full fledged Inu-Youkai who, if they ganged up on us, could kick our buts to the East-lands, I'm not worried at all."

"I hate wearing these stupid... what ever you want to call them." Lita-Jade said putting her hair up in a high ponytail. "Um-m-m, why do you need to get dressed up and we don't?" Lita-Jade turned around and straightened her silver kimono. "Are you part of the royal family?" they shook their heads. "In Inu-Youkai royal families the woman and second to the Alfa have to wear good clothes to see the Lord. It is just respect." Everyone (- Lita-Jade) said oh. "You guys have to stay here." Lita-Jade started to leave when Sango stopped her. "You need a second, why don't you take Kagura?" Lita-Jade nodded and Kagura followed her out of the room.

Lita-Jade and Kagura ran into InuYasha and Miroku at the door of the Alfa den (Throne room). "Please don't tell me he's your second," Lita-Jade said pointing at Miroku. Miroku was about to object when the doors opened. Lita-Jade stepped beside InuYasha and put her head down as Kagura and Miroku stood behind them. "I trust you told him what to do?" he nodded and they entered the Alfa den.

There were hangings all over the walls of a great Inu-Youkai fighting against demons. One specifically looked a lot like InuYasha, only a little older. The carpet was red and led down the hall and up three steps to a huge backed and immensely detailed throne with non other then Sesshomaru sitting on it. Beside him were many pillows, all different shades of pink. On the pink pillows sat a little human girl, she was dressed in an orange kimono. On Sesshomaru's left stood the toad demon Jaken, Sesshomaru's adviser.

The group knelt down in front of the throne that Sesshomaru sat in. "InuYasha, I see you brought someone with you besides your second." InuYasha raised his head and tapped Lita-Jades shoulder. She raised her head and Sesshomaru, for a split second, looked shocked, then recovered "So," he began, "Your back." Lita-Jade turned her head toward him and nodded. "So, have you given up on your fear of me?" Lita-Jade lowered her head, "I suppose not, you all ways have been a sacredly demon, an insult if you ask me. InuYasha at least can fight some what." InuYasha looked at Lita-Jades hands to see her clenching her fists tightly. "Quit the nice crap.What did you want us here for?" InuYasha asked to get the subject off his cousin. "We are having trouble with the Tribe of Neco demons again. They have been attacking the outer regions lately. I hate to ask for your help but fathers sword, Tetsiaga, may be needed. But Jade may want to leave, she won't be much good considering she can't fight." Lita-Jade's aura started sparking and her hair began to flout as it had done before but Sesshomaru didn't seem to notice, if he did he, didn't care. "You are dismissed until I call for you later." Sesshomaru said after Jaken whispered something to Sesshomaru and ran out of the room. Lita-Jade got up and left the hall without bowing. InuYasha tilted his head and ran after her, as did Miroku and Kagura.

Lita-Jade entered her room stomping mad. She kicked off her shoes and started paseing the room cursing, mumbling to herself and aura sparking every time she said Sesshomaru's name. InuYasha came in soon after. "Lita-Jade, calm down, he does this constantly, he always has, why are you so pissed for it now?" Lita-Jade turned with tears rimming in her eyes. "He was saying things like I wasn't even there that I should have kicked the bastards sorry for, and I could kill him but because of that Kami-dammed tradition I didn't. If he tells mother that I'm still weak she'll take me away again, do you want that, Cause I sure as hell don't." She began to pace again when someone knocked on the door to the room. "Sorry milord, there are three people here for Lady Jade. They request her presents in the Alfa den immediately. I have been told to escort her there." InuYasha frond. "Sorry, she isn't... " Lita-Jade came to the door and slid past InuYasha. "It's OK, Kagura, can you come with me please?" Kagura said that she would and followed her out and to the Alfa den.

Like last time the doors opened and Lita-Jade and Kagura entered the room with there heads bowed and eyes shut only this time they didn't kneel. Three people were bowing to Lita-Jade when Kagura opened her eyes. She tapped her on the shoulder and said that there were two men and one woman around her age. Lita-Jades eyes shot open at the voice of the man directly in front of her. "Hello LJ," "Me... Meeoku!" Very un-lady like Lita-Jade glomped him. He fell over at her weight and the force of her. "What are you doing here?" she said as he got the two of them up and she sat on his lap. "We were heading west from Golden City and seeing the prince when Jaken came saying that you were here, so, we came here." "Kagura, remind me to thank Jaken." She nodded.

Lita-Jade put her chin on Meeoku's shoulder, "Hi you two." They looked up at her with smiling faces. "Hello Princess!"

She got up, took Meeoku's hand, and led him and her friends out of the room with Kagura following. When they got outside the door Lita-Jade asked Kagura to go in and tell the maids to get another room ready. She entered the room and everyone except Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara fell off of were they were sitting. The other man and the woman ran over to InuYasha. Lita-Jade looked at the kids faces and asked Meeoku to go over with his friends, which he did.

"Lita, That's..." Sakura started in total shock. Syaoran and Tomoyo's looks were similar to Sakura's. Eli just stood there. "I know, you guys know that he's my celestial guardian. Why wouldn't he be here? This is his time after all." Lita-Jade said. She didn't understand why they would think that he wouldn't be here. "Yeah but still. Why are they here?" Syaoran asked as he sat down on the bed and Sakura beside him. "He said that Jaken went to get them. But something seems strange to me. Grant you I'm happy he did, but the chances of Sesshomaru letting him..." She trailed at his name.

Sango, Miroku and Shippo came over to where Lita-Jade and the kids were. "Who are they Lita-Jade?" Sango asked. Miroku and Shippo nodded as to say that, that was their question as well. Lita-Jade sighed deeply, "Their names are Meeoku Hiwitari (Me-oo-koo Hi-wi-tar-ee), Udele Tenma and (Yeah- dell Ten-ma) and Kenneth Ramnes (Ken-eth Ram-es). They are my court. Not to mention my best friends. When I was living with papa, they lived with me in the house."

"Princess," Lita-Jade turned her head to the person who had said her title. It was the woman that Lita-Jade had brought with her. She had Red hair, brown eyes and pale skin. She wasn't wearing a kimono as most people from this time. She was wearing a short dress as if from Kagome's time. It wasn't overly exciting, just short sleeved plain blue with white trim.

"Did you let Mi… I mean Venus-chan dress you up again?" Lita-Jade asked putting a hand on her hip, stared (as a joke) accusingly and shaking her head. "She insisted that I let her and frankly, you said that if she tells me to do something..." "I told you," Lita-Jade cut Udele off. "To take orders from them tactically or if The Princess asked you to do something. That has nothing to do with her dressing you up," Udele just shrugged her shoulders and said that she liked the outfit anyway. Meeoku, the other man and Lita-Jade burst out laughing and even InuYasha smirked. Sakura and Tomoyo laughed and Syaoran and Eli snickered. "She told you Princess," the other man said still laughing. "I guess she did Kenneth," she agreed.

Kenneth had black hair, green eyes, tan skin and he was wearing a Yellow haori. Kenneth looked behind Lita-Jade at Syaoran and Sakura sitting on the bed. Kenneth got down on one knee to Sakura "I didn't see you there Himegimi no Tarento, Hello." Lita-Jade looked at the shocked look on Sakura's face and turned to him "Kenneth what have I told you about calling us by titles. We have names of which are not Princess or anything else like that. OK?" Kenneth got up and nodded. "OK prin... I mean, Lita-Jade." Lita-Jade Anime Sweat Dropped and InuYasha snickered. "That's a start Kenneth."
