Well heres chappie three
last time
They both growled "no one can call me that wolf except my three brothers and friends". "feh like i care" "you should flea-bag" came Inuyasha's voice as he came into view. "why would you care mutt you ain't one too be talking"...
Now
"because me and Damien are her brothers and Sesshomaru is her third brother..." "and if Sesshomaru finds out your disrespecting her he'll rip you throat and im pretty sure we will help..." Damien finished for his younger brother. Ashurii then sniffed at his scent "hey...you smell like...Inku...".
He looked at her eyes widened "you know Inku where is he?" he asked urgently "is he your lost brother?" "hai" Ashurii began too grin. She whistled a high pitch and a wolf demon appeared by her side "did you need something ash-chan?" she only smiled and pointed towards the brown wolf. He looked and their eyes locked. Inku in confusing and Koga's in surprise and happiness. "b-brother" was Inku's answer too his own question.
Koga grinned "its good too see you again bro". Inku then had his older brother in a death lock "where were you!" he cried out as Koga patted his head. Ashurii smiled at the two. Koga then looked at her "were you the one that took care of him" "hai and trained him". He put his brother too his side and bowed deeply "arigato Ashurii-Sama". She nodded her head at him and he came back up and grinned at his little brother. Inku smiled up at his older brother then turned too Ashurii "Ash-chan" "hai Inku?" "can he travel with us?". She grinned "why would i take you away from your brother when i already promised you too help find himof course he can join". Koga bowed again "arigato again Ashurii-Sama" "please just Ashurii like i tell everyone else" "as you wish".
Ashurii then all of a sudden got dizzy and fell. Damien caught her and looked worriedly at her "you ok ash?" he asked as he sat her down on her feet. "hai i just need too...hmm...go get Sango and Kagome for me onegai" "im on it" Inuyasha took off to the hut. He came back with Kagome and Sango. "hai Ashurii-Sama" "-.-' please just Ashurii and will you help me get too the hot springs" "ill do it if you girls don't want too" Miroku said popping his head into the clearing. Everyone glared at him.
Then said person went flying back too the village. Kagome and Sango walked over too Ashurii and helped her up. Ashurii wrapped her arms around there neck for support. Ashurii turned to the boys "tell fluffy-kun ill be back later". The boys nodded and went back too the village and the girls headed to the hot springs.
When they got there. They undressed and got in since they were there anyways. Ashurii rested with her eyes shut on the other side while Sango and Kagome washed. She sunk lower into the water until her nose was right above it. She sighed in content but then felt her cheek giving her trouble and rose so her cheek would be out
"ashurii?" she opened her eyes too see Kagome "Hai Kagome-chan?" "let me see your cheek". Kagome walked closer and looked at it. She placed her hand by it and her hand was surrounded by a pink aura. Ashurii sensing it was miko energy began too panic but then found out it wasn't purifying her into oblivion.
Kagome then pulled back her hand and smiled "there all healed". Ashurii touched her cheek, it didn't hurt she jabbed it this time still it didn't hurt. She smiled at Kagome "arigato Kagome-chan" "don't worry bout it". "hmmm is that your scent Ashurii?" Kagome asked curiously "whats it smell like" "rose water" "yup" she said with a smile "it was my mothers scent thankfully i got hers instead of pas" "what was his" "forest and oak" "aw that ain't too bad" Sango joked while the three laughed. "nah it wasn't it actually comforted me when he was still here" "you know everyone I've met has lost there parents when they were young..." "ya theres me Sango fluffy-kun and Miroku oh and can't forget about the adorable Shippo now can we". Ashurii said.
They all giggled. "ya he started bawling when he seen Damien hit you" "ya he seems too care about you almost as much as he cares about Kagome" "maybe because i am half kitsune and hes attracted to that side by the way what kind of tiger are you 'gome?" "a rare black tiger honyou" she said with a grin "my father was the rare black tiger while my mother was a miko". So thats where you got your miko powers from". Ashurii said while relaxing back into the water. S
he then began too scratch her tail clean. Her ears twitched at hearing a noise. She turned and sniffed her eyes bugged. She shot out of the water and chased the panther yokai "YOU HENTAI HOW DARE YOU SPY ON US IM GOING TOO BEAT YOU INTO AN OBLIVIAN!". She chased him into the village and then just remembered she was naked by all the stares. She screamed a high pitch scream. Something then landed on her. She looked and seen Sesshomaru's top part of his haori. She quickly wrapped it around herself and glared deathly at the panther. She then stalked off back too the hot springs.
Sesshomaru turned the the panther yokai and glared dangerously as well as Damien and Inuyasha. They circled him. As Ashurii walked back she heard the panthers cry of letting him go. She smirked "serves the bastard right". She then got back too where the hot springs was only too be angered again. There were two male demons trapping them. She walked over to the demons and placed a hand on their shoulders with a sly grin "now don't tell me you were going too rape my two friends now were you".
They growled and said "get your filthy hands off us" she made a pouty face "aww they called my hands filthy and disgraced my title i think they need to be punished" a wicked grin spread across her features as she quickly turned and threw the two yokai far off and hearing them screaming on the way there.
She then stripped herself from Sesshomaru's haori and dressed back into her black haori and latched her sword on her left hip. The two other girls got dressed too "thanks ash for back there". Kagome said as they walked back to the village. "don't worry about it" she said making a peace sign and winking. They giggled.
When they got back into the village they found Miroku tied up hanging upside down on the miko's hut. Ashurii Sango and Kagome began too grin evilly. They each grabbed one rock and aimed. His eyes widened. Kagome was the first one to throw it it hit him in the eye. Sango then threw it it hit him in the other eye. Ashurii then took her turn and threw it right at his groin andhard. He yelped in pain.
They all three laughed and walked into the hut. Ashurii threw Sesshomaru back his haori top and he put it on. Two months had past by Koga Sesshomaru and Damien had began too travel with them they found at least ten shards with the new help of the five new demons too there team. Ashurii fought the one boy seven times during those months and had finally gotten a name form him. "Ediel". Ashurii hissed out as Kagome cleaned the wound on her back.
This was just not her day first she found out that James was coming from Kagome today which wasn't so bad but when she found out Ediel had poisoned her that set her off. She punched the ground where she sat seething "ash-chan try to be more steal im trying too get the poison out". "sorry 'gome-san it just pisses me off when he pulls stuff like this". "there all done". Her hands died down form the bluish white they were. Ashurii stood and stretched "arigato 'gome-chan".
They then walked back after Ashurii pulled her shirt back up. When they got there Kagome was tackled into a hug. Ashurii smiled when she herd Kagome's giggle at his antics. She walked over too the shocked Sango "so whats it like finding your older brother again" "amazing" a smile spread across her face. As well as Ashurii's "just think now Kagome will be your true sister".
Ashurii walked away when she was away from the others she looked at the sky. She then remembered something. She screeched and ran back too the camp. She grabbed her sword and was about too run off when a hand stopped her it was Sesshomaru "where are you going"
-.-'
"don't tell me you've forgotten too the annual demon ball is in three days and i have too get the palace ready!" she all but screeched out and took off running towards her castle followed by Inku who inturn was followed by Koga. Sesshomaru's eyes bugged "SHIT!" was herd from the Taiyokai of the west as he sprinted off towards his palace followed by Damien. Inuyasha sweat dropped at them. "well lets head too Ashurii's palace I'll race y'all" "your on" was herd from Sango James and Kagome. Shippo just road on Kilala and Miroku was still stuck.
They counted then sprinted off towards Ashurii's castle. James was in the lead followed by Inuyasha then Sango and Kagome. The girls grinned at each other they sped and went there fastest surpassing the boys and getting into the lead. The boys sighed. When Ashurii got too the palace she seen two of her servants waiting for her "lady Ashurii" "hai i know Hakia i want you too go tell the cooks too prepare food for three days from now". Hakai bowed and left. "Sakai go prepare the other lords bed chambers have two other maids help you". The twin of Hakai bowed and left following her mistress' command.
She walked into the palace Koga looked around the gates they entered from were tall enough where Sesshomaru could enter in his true form. The texture of the palace itself was black with silver and crimson designs. On the front gates was a kitsune and an inuwolf reared facing each other. Kagome lead them into the castle. Koga was yet again flabbergasted it was just as beautiful on the inside then on the outside.
There was paintings of people he didn't recognize then one caught his attention. He stopped and looked at it. He seen a grown man a kitsune yokai with a baby girl in his arms and a inuwolf beside him all three were smiling happily. "those are my parents". He jumped at her voice. "oh you look just like them both of them". She smiled slightly at him "hai i know now come on you are going too help me pick your brother out something too wear then its your turn" "wah!" "you two are going too be my guests so come on".
She pushed him towards where his brothers room was. There were servants there inspecting him. He seemed nervous. She giggled "ok girls enough your making the poor boy nervous". The girls backed off with giggles. "ok first outfit". They held a black hakama up too him. She tapped her chin "nah try that navy blue haori". They held it up to him. She grinned "perfect get Koga-san the same one only with a different pattern". The girls bowed and left.
She walked over too the shaken boy and clapped him on the shoulder lightly "aww loosen up kid you'll be fine now you two are free too roam around the castle i only have two rules you stay out of the north wing of the palace and you stay out of my study and bed chambers". "ok" Koga bowed since Inku already knew these rules "you are welcome too go too the dojo and train i have too go check on my lands".
She then left and went too her study. When she got there she sat down and began too read scrolls concerning her lands she had read about fifteen before there was a knock on the door. "come in". Came her cold reply. She wasn't in the best of mood. "dinners ready m'lady". "thank you you're dismissed". The servant bowed in respect and left.
She stood up and stretched out the kinks in her back and bones. She walked out of her study and too the dinning hall. Koga and Inku were already waiting too eat along with Inuyasha Kagome Sango Miroku Shippo and Kilala. "when'd you get here" she asked curiously as she took her seat at the head of the table. "A few hours ago we were going too tell you but one of the servants said not too bother you so we just explored the castle with the exception of the north wing just like you said" Inuyasha informed as he began eating as the food was placed in front of him.
They all ate in silence since it was really good. It was about night time and Ashurii showed them there rooms. She gave them the best rooms in the castle other then the other lords rooms. Kagome Sango Shippo where right across the corridor from her and Inuyasha jamesand Miroku were in the room next too them. and koga was with inku in his room next to Ashurii.
After showing them too there room she returned to her study and finished reading the scrolls. It was about one in the morning when she finished. She sighed as she slowly and tiredly returned too her chambers and onto her balcony she sat on the railed she had sensed Sesshomaru moving around in his territory making sure every thing was in tip top shape before he left. She also for some reason knew he was going too bring Rin knowing she was going to be looked after and if she did be put into any harm she would take care of the one who caused it even if it was a lord or lady.
Yup she wasn't going too be able too sleep that night. So she decided to make sure the palace was in tip top shape. She roamed the corridors hearing servants making noise that she really didn't want too hear but continued anyway. She made sure the ball room was ready for dancing and for chatting in she then checked on her soldiers.
She slid the door open slightly. She seen them sleeping soundly on pallets made in one room for all of the men soldiers she then went too go check on the female soldiers they too were sleeping soundly. She slid the door shut quietly and roamed some more corridors. Making sure that the lords and ladies kids wouldn't harm themselves with any sharp object they could reach. If she found one where they could reach she moved it above too where they couldn't. She smiled in one day it was already mostly complete for the ball.
She knew the two lords were planning on making her take a mate but she had another plan she was going too wear her fighting armor with her sword that showed she was independent and rebellious and was strong enough that she didn't need a mate too run her lands. She could do it herself, she would find a mate on her spare time if she wished so, but not now she just wasn't ready for that kind of relationship because when she would mate and mark someone they mated for life.
She then made her way too on top of the castle and stood as the breeze played with her hair making it go one direction then another and back again. She smiled at nothing in particular. Her father would always find out when she snuck out of her room too come here at night and joined her in just standing and looking over their lands.
She sighed. She made her way back down too the gardens where she found her favorite flower the black rose it reminded her of herself dark and mysterious and beautiful yet dangerous. She was the only one aloud near these particular flowers. She didn't allow anyone near them. She didn't want them to hurt the flowers so forbid them too touch or even go near the black roses.
Anyone who did go against what she said was punished but not too bad she still had a since of humanity even when it came too her flowers. She finally sensed Sesshomaru stop checking his lands and head back too his castle. "he should be here by tomorrow around noon". She said too herself as she examined the rest of the flowers and trees in her garden.
There were four cherry blossom trees away from each other since there was a large area for almost five Sesshomaru's in his true form. This was her retreatment place where she went too think. There were about three sakura blossom trees and other trees that matched their beauty. There was a cliff that peered over all of the garden where she would normally meditate.
It was in mid spring where the flowers bloomed the most beautiful. She loved that time yet again she didn't because it was the breeding season for all yokai breeds. She sighed she had yet too become in heat and was praying that she didn't become in heat until after the ball. Then she would just enclose herself in her bed chamber and wait for her to be no longer in heat. She then made her way back into the palace and into her chambers.
She removed her battle outfit or haori and place the armor in a chair and the cloths itself on the desk in her room for when she wanted to work in her room. She now was in her sleeping cloths and laid down on her bed that had black silken sheets that she so dearly loved because they were very comfortable. Sleep then over took her.
She woke right at the crack of dawn. She stretched and went too her wardrobe she had too have her battle cloths and armor washed and shined. She pulled out a hakama that had wolves in crimson running along the bottom. She quickly put them on and left her room "Hashi!" she called out from her door "could you wash my haori and polish the armor?" "hai right away m'lady". She scurried in and took the cloths and armor and left with a bow.
Ashurii made her way down too the dojo where she always started her mornings by training and then headed too the cliff to meditate. She grabbed her sword on her way out. When she got there she found Inku there. He was usually there in the mornings as well but not all the time only when he was thinking about something. She smiled at him and joined him in there drills.
Of course hers was more difficult then his but he was still a learner so it didn't matter. He grinned as they stopped doing their morning drills. Ashurii waved as she left the dojo and headed for the cliff she had gotten there unnoticed thanking Kami. She peered around too see Kagome and James just sitting there. Kagome in his lap as he nuzzled her neck. She smiled and began too meditate. She stayed there missing breakfast. She wasn't really hungry. Her ears twitched at all the noise coming form the castle they were still preparing things.
She heard a few shouts from different people one was Inuyasha no mistake and the other was from one of her friends she had yet too see since her arrival she was a nekko honyou she had brought too the castle when she was wounded and young from then on the young nekko looked up to her as a big sister.
She grinned "they are perfect for each other both stubborn and arrogant" "and don't forget can get angry easily, playing match maker again i see you never change". She only grinned "well thats a fine greeting fluffy-kun im still busy so you could either join me or join them down there". She heard him plop down next too her and cross his legs as he joined her in meditation. They stayed there for about an hour and a half when they had heard the cry of the little imp Sesshomaru had brought with him.
They chuckled lightly "two words". Sesshomaru said casually and Ashurii finished for him "dress up". They chuckled again. Another hour passed and it was time for lunch. They stood and stretched they then jumped down from the cliff and into the rest of the gardens and headed too the dinning room. They walked in of course everyone was waiting too get their food.
Ashurii took her place at the head of the table while Sesshomaru took his too her left which meant he was considered family to the lady of the north. Damien sat next too him who was next too Inuyasha then Miroku then Sango then on the other side Kagome and James sat on the other end of the table by the kids. The food was then brought of course the kids got done first. Hakai took them too take their baths then took them too the garden and told them not too go near her mistress' flowers.
When she got done she just let her head fall onto the table. Everyone looked at her. Inku was the only one who knew why she did it. She had always done that when she was at the palace. She would always have a moment when memories came back. And she would sling her head onto something a wall the table a bed what ever she could find to hit her head against.
Inku stood and bowed "if you'll excuse me im going too go check on the kids". He then left in a hurry. Koga bowed and followed. Everybody quirked an eyebrow then went back too eating. James looked over at the yet again broken forbidden one. He sighed stood bowed and left with out a word. Kagome confusedly looked at him. She too stood bowed and followed James.
The three brothers looked at each other. No one knew what was wrong not even Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru looked at his younger brothers sternly telling them too leave. They stood bowed and went on there way. Sesshomaru then smelt salt water signaling someone was crying. He turned his head too see Ashurii's shoulders shaking with her sobs.
He stood and walked over too her. He knelt beside her and put his hand on her back. She immediately latched onto his haori and sobbed in his chest. He wrapped his arms around her. "ash whats wrong" "have i ever told you why i only visit the palace only once a week?" "Iie you haven't" came his soothing and soft voice. "because it hurts too much" was her shaken reply.
He tightened his grip on her. "hush it'll be fine". He rubbed her back soothingly in a brotherly way.(A/N no they wont be a couple XD). He knew all the demons in the castle smelt tears but didn't know who it was from. They sat there for like ten minutes as she tried too calm down.
He had his chin on top of her head as she rested in his lap. It wasn't very often that he saw his little sister brake down and cry. Sensing she had fallen asleep he disappeared in a white and silver blur and too her room. He knew he wasn't aloud in there no one was including the kids reason he was unsure of .
He knew he was going too face the music when she woke. He laid her down on her silken black sheets. He then left quietly. Ashurii woke up to shouts hissing and growling. She sat up and rubbed her forehead. She stood up and noticed a male scent in her room. Her rage flared. Everyone felt it. Sesshomaru grinned.
Ashurii then recognized the scent it was Sesshomaru he was only in there for a second. She calmed her beast. She rubbed her temples in agitation she went too her balcony and sat on the edge of the rail type thing. It was only about five in the afternoon. She then seen Inuyasha and her friend Sutsai the nekko honyou her friend. She grinned as she watched them they were nose too nose growling ready too tear each other apart.
She continued to watch with a smirk. "what is your problem you damn mutt" "shut up cat" he sheathed out with raw anger. "im ganna tear your ears off and shove them down your throat" Sutsai hissed out.
Before Inuyasha could answer. Arms wrapped around both of them "and what are you two fighting over" came her voice. They both stopped immediately "Ash-chan! Good too see you again and it was his fault he started it" she pouted knowing Ashurii would take her side with that face. Ashurii sighed. "ok you both are going too be punished".
They looked at her eyes widened in fear at her evil grin. "you two have too go too the ball together and you have too stay with each other and if you don't ill make you both kiss". There eyes widened "THERES NO WAY IN HELL IM GOING WITH HER". Inuyasha shouted.
Ashurii shrugged "ok then kiss and make up". He sighed in defeat as well as Sutsai. "fine we will go" "good Okusai!" a servant appeared beside her. "take Inuyasha too go find something to wear mainly something red". He bowed and led Inuyasha back into the castle. Ashurii then tugged on Sutsai's ears "and you young lady we have too go find you a kimono" "but!" "no buts". She dragged her off and too Sutsai's chambers.
She made Sutsai sit on the white silken sheets on her bed. Ashurii got into her wardrobe and shuffled through it she looked at Sutsai then back into the endless clothing she had for her. She squealed in delight finding a perfect one. She pulled out a light pink kimono with a green sash and dark green patterns lining the edges and then of course Ashurii's crest on the right side chest.
She walked over too her and held it up against her body. She grinned in satisfaction "perfect now too go find Kagome and Sango a kimono you stay here k ill be right back". She then left the room in search of the honyou and demon. She found Kagome and grinned "awww you two are soo sweet" they both separated and glared at her while blushing at the same time. "sorry James but im taking Kagome from you". He huffed.
Ashurii then drug Kagome off and went too go get Sango. They found her in the same situation. They giggled and dragged Sango off and went back too Sutsai's room. She made those two sit on the bed with Sutsai. She dug into the wardrobe again. She pulled out a white kimono with black kitsunes running along the bottom. She handed it too Kagome who held it up against her. She looked it over "perfect now for Sango".
She got into the wardrobe again. She found a light zinc kimono with baby blue patterns. She handed it too Sango who did the same thing Kagome did. Ashurii looked at it then smiled approvingly. "good". "hey what are you wearing" Kagome asked curiously. She grinned "my battle armor and cloths this isn't just a ball they are wanting me too choose a mate as well but in wearing my battle armor and cloths it shows im independent rebellious and strong enough to not have a mate".
There starred at her in shock "so you are suppose too choose a mate". Ashurii seen the evil glint in there eyes. "hai...but im not going to". The three girls shrugged and Ashurii plopped herself on the bed and crossed her legs. She began thinking and the girls noticed it "what you thinking about" "nothing as of yet". She then came too a conclusion. She smiled lightly "come on".
She got up off the bed and they followed. They ended up going down corridors then they stopped in front of two large oak doors. It was her study. She looked at it then went on. She then came too her room. Sutsai gasped as Ashurii opened the door and motioned them in. they slowly walked in. they all gasped at the beauty. Her bed had black silken sheets with crimson markings. Her shades were made out of the same material.
An elegant desk made out of white oak was placed in the far end right corner. Her wardrobe was too the left of her bed and a mirror next to it, but the one thing that caught their attention was a picture right above her bed. Ashurii sat on her bed while they stood mesmerized by her room. Kagome looked at the portrait. There were at least eight grown demons and a few pups.
The two demons in the middle were holding a pup between them while smiling to the ends of the earth. They were dog demons. There were two other pairs on the side of them one was a nekko family with about threecubs in there arms the other one was a dragon family with two pups in there arms. Then there was the family huddled behind them smiling like they were having a good time. These were a wolfinu demon and a kitsune. They were all goofing around just having fun. When this portrait was painted.
She then noticed a pair of joyful eyes. It was a pup about the age of five she was in a black hakama with crimson designs and silver edges. She had a joyful smile on her face as she sat in front of all of the demons. Ashurii then broke them from there mussing "thats all the lords and ladies. The two inu demons are inu-papa and inu-mama Sesshomaru's mother and father i was the only one too call them that the dragon yokai are the lord and lady of the east and the nekko demons are the lord and lady of the south you'll meet them tomorrow"
"who's the ones in the back" Sango and Kagome asked curiously. Ashurii smiled "my parents". They looked at her then back at them then at her again. They did this a few more times then they said in unison "you look just like them!" Ashurii and Sutsai laughed at them. Sutsai then turned too her older sister "so why did you not let anyone in here" "one is because of the portrait and second is because of this...". She walked over too a wall and touched it.
It glowed a light blue color then it opened. She took out the item and showed them. Sutsai gasped as her eyes widened. Kagome and Sango starred in confusion "what is it" "its the sacred necklace of the goddess' of fire she had given it too my mother along time ago for saving her". They all gasped again. Ashurii looked at the item in her hands. It was in a shape of a flame in crimson and blue the chain that held it was a purplish color. "my mother had passed it down to me when i was born this is the most reason no one is aloud in here".
The three fell back onto the bed and starred in awe "whats it do" "you know how im a rare midnight kitsune and a rare fire inuwolf and im able too use fire this boosts up my fire power sort to say ill just show you". She set the item back on the thing. She held out her hand and a silver flame appeared in her hand it was a good size. She then touched the item and the flame shot up engulfing her hand and her entire being.
She then let go of it and the fire died down back into the palm of her hand. She closed a fist around it and put the flame up. "that is how it increases it" "wow sort of like the shikon shards" "yes but only in my fire capability it only enhances that". She then put the item back in its hidden box and placed her hand over the wall again.
Doing this she had too put up the forcefield using her powers she knew everyone sensed it because she felt the hair on the back of her neck stand. She then pulled her hand away and the light died down. She then turned back to them with a serious look "do not tell anyone that item is here or ill do something i don't want to do". "we wont tell anyone we're just glad you trust in us". Was there reply.
She smiled "come on lets go take a bath before we go and eat supper". They nodded and followed her too her personal hot springs that was linked too her room. They were the only ones for the first time too be in her hot springs they felt really special at that. Ashurii laughed at them as they got in. they bathed and then just relaxed they had time.
They then herd someone at her door and knock. Ashurii stood wrapped a towel round herself then went too go answer it "hai...GYYAAHH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE Zero!" he grinned "its been awhile since I've seen you so i decided too visit" "but Sesshomaru is here? And im in a towel and when he..."they herd growling and turned to see Sesshomaru looking rather pissed "oh him he wouldn't let me come so i hit and ran". Ashurii fell over "you baka thats Sesshomaru-sama lord of the north".
O.O
"ohhhh shiiiiit" he backed away from the advancing Sesshomaru. His eyes flashed. Ashurii intervened she latched onto Sesshomaru making him calm down instantly. She then turned too Zero she then slapped him very hard sending him into a wall "and thats for looking at me in only a towel! Now if you boys will excuse me i have too finish bathing play nice fluffy-kun don't kill him i have uses for him".
She then went back into her chambers shut the door and returned too the hot springs. Dinner came they ate and went back too their rooms falling asleep awaiting tomorrows ball.
