The Four Souls Demon

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha but I do own the mysterious dog….

Hey everyone! Thanks for all the reviews I got last chapter it made me feel really happy to get them, and made me think how all of you want me to continue this story. As many of you know, I left it on a dire cliffhanger last chapter many of you told me "GET ON WITH THE DAMN STORY!" and well, I decided to do so, and no I wasn't threatened by my friends to update, hehehe. Anyways enough of my crazy talking, here is the story!

Secret Mission

Inuyasha lazily sat up and rubbed his eyes. He yawned loudly and stretched his cramped arms. After he shook off his sleepiness, he laid back down to get more sleep, but he felt something wasn't right here. He remembered being in forest but now he was in a clearing and he was searching for Ookami…and then his brother... He leapt to his feet quickly looking for any traces of his older brother.

"Inuyasha I am glad you are awake"

He leaped back in surprise and saw Miroku giving him a sheepish grin.

Inuyasha sat back down glaring at Miroku. "Oh, it's you monk," he said dryly but looked around for any trace of his brother. Finding none, he looked at the fire in front of him and smelled a stew boiling. Hungrily, he grabbed it and scarfed it down, ignoring his manners as usually.

After finishing up, he decided to get his answers. "So monk, where is my brother," he asked.

Miroku looked at him confused. "I don't know Inuyasha, why do you ask?"

Inuyasha looked at him astonished and then he became frustrated. "Wasn't my brother here? I mean, I saw him and he attacked me and I fainted and Ookami was injured and she turned into this big dog demon…and are you laughing at me?" yelled Inuyasha glaring at the monk who was trying his hardest to not break in to laughs.

Stifling his laughter, he spoke. "I am sorry Inuyasha but you must have dreamed it because Ookami brought you back and we assumed you had fainted," he finished and Inuyasha glared at him.

"Oh, yeah! Then what about this wound!" Inuyasha opened his haori to show Miroku his wound but when he looked down, he saw nothing. "What the hell…?"

"Inuyasha, I did not realize you were that kind of guy"

The hanyou jumped back again but only saw a smirking Sango and Shippo cracking up on her shoulder.

He blushed furiously. "I'm telling you, there was a wound here and Sesshoumaru attacked me…" he said.

Miroku stood up and hit Inuyasha on the head with his staff.

"What the hell was that for?" said Inuyasha, rubbing his sore head.

"I was trying to knock some sense into you," said Miroku and sat back down and sighed. "Like I said, there was no Sesshoumaru, you were dreaming"

"Fine," said Inuyasha admitting he was wrong and started to walk towards the woods.

"Inuyasha, you shouldn't leave alone you should take Ookami with you," yelled Miroku. "She can turn into a dog demon to protect to you!" he said sarcastically and got the finger from a pissed off hanyou.

Inuyasha jumped into a nearby tree, sorting his thoughts. 'Was it all really just a dream? It might have been, but it seemed so real,' Inuyasha sighed and looked down from his branch towards the camp. 'It must have been a dream, I'm not hurt and Ookami isn't…'

He lost his train of thought when he saw Ookami get up from her spot. She was limping and Inuyasha could see why. She had a big wound on the side of her, exactly where Sesshoumaru hit her. It wasn't a dream, it was real and a new question popped in his head.

'What is Ookami really?'

He looked back and saw Kirara come up to Ookami. It seemed like they were talking to each other. Strange, he didn't think it was possible for demons to communicate with other animals but Kirara seems to be talking to Ookami now.

An idea was brewing Inuyasha's mind.

"I think I know how to get my answers," he said out loud staring interestingly at the fire cat.

Later that night…

While everyone was asleep, Inuyasha took Kirara away from the camp.

"Kirara, I need a favor," said Inuyasha and Kirara mewed in response. "Can you communicate to Ookami?"

Kirara nodded her head, and Inuyasha smiled. It seemed he was going to get his answers after all.

"Good, because I need some answers from her," he said and Kirara listened patiently, waiting for the point of taking her away from her master. "Can you ask Ookami some…questions?" She mewed in response. "Good, this is what I want you to ask her…"

He whispered in her ear and she nodded her head in response. "Meet me back here when you are done with your mission…"

She mewed once again and transformed into her big cat form and went back to the camp.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

(Just to let you know the italics will mean they are communicating with each other)

As she got towards camp, she found that Ookami was gone. She sniffed the air for her scent but found nothing. Confused, she took to the air to find her. She went across the forest looking for her trace but found none until she came across a cliff.

There, sitting near the edge was Ookami and was she was looking at the moon above. As Kirara got closer, Ookami took note of her presence and watched her land.

"Why hello there Kirara, what brings you here?" asked Ookami turning her head sideways out of curiosity.

"I have some questions to ask," said Kirara, transforming back into her kitten form.

"Questions? That's rather sad, I was hoping you would tell me more of your adventures with Sango," said Ookami and she lied down and stared at the kit. "Oh well, what is your questions, I mean the hanyou's questions"

"How did you know?"

"I didn't, you just told me," said Ookami, and she started to scratch her ears. "Damn itchy ears, they always bug me when they start to itch"

Kirara a little angry she was easily tricked decided to ask her questions now. "Enough talk of itchy ears, I would like the questions answered!" Kirara growled angrily

"Alright, alright, I will answer your questions just don't have a hissy fit," said Ookami and she stopped itching her ears.

"Good, my first question is, are you a dog demon?"

"Oh heavens no, I am a dog but not a dog demon"

"Alright," said Kirara. She gave Ookami a questioningly look, trying to figure out if she was telling the truth. "My next question is, the voice Inuyasha heard, was it you?"

"Depends, Inuyasha heard two voices, you have to be more specific," said Ookami tauntingly.

Kirara growled out of annoyance. "Did you tell him to get out of the way or not?"

"Yes, yes, I did," was Ookami's reply. Kirara took a step back, surprised by her answer. "I bet your wondering how I did it too. It's fairly simple, every animal has the ability to do so, you have to just unlock that ability by trusting whom ever you want to talk too," she said with matter of factly tone.

"That's logical, I think. Alright, final question, what are you?" asked Kirara.

Ookami froze with that response and she looked away. "I am a dog who loves to hear stories of adventures, that's who I am," and she said no more.

Kirara, even though she didn't want to retreated back to camp, because she figures her questions will be no longer answered. As Kirara flew away, Ookami watched with interest. She smiled showing both her fangs.

"Don't worry Inuyasha, you will get your real answers soon enough," said Ookami, she looked at the moon one last time and howled, letting her thoughts be known to nature.

Back at camp...

Inuyasha heard Ookami howl and saw Kirara coming to the spot at speed. "So is she not what she seems?" asked Inuyasha. Kirara nodded her head yes. 'When Kagome comes back here, then I will tell her about her dear dog,' thought Inuyasha, planning his and Kagome's confrontation.

Sorry another cliffhanger, man, I should stop doing this to you people. I am sorry if you didn't like the poetic part at the end but I was feeling a little dramatic so I had to add it in there. And before I go write the next chapter, remember to review me please!

P.S. Just to let everyone know, I don't like the new reply thing so next chapter I am going back to the old way of doing stuff…
