Coincidence? I Think Not…

Ryan bit at his nails. It was a bad habit that he had tried to break for many years but whenever he got nervous he would take it out on his nails. Tania took a quick glance at Ryan. She sat on a long bed that had long red sheets draped across it. Watching Ryan pace across the room biting his nails gave her another excuse to get worried.
"You know, if I am making trouble for you I will leave." Tania said defiantly with her head high.
Ryan looked over at Tania. He could see that she would leave if he told her but who would make a mistake like that? Even he wasn't that much of an idiot.
"No. You're not causing a problem but… as I told you I work for the Lord of the Western lands. I am sure you're not from one of the allied lands so I don't know what father would say." Ryan said, worry evident in his voice.
"Father?" Tania asked rather confused.
Ryan looked around quickly; a small blush covered his cheeks. He looked at Tania with a small embarrassed smile.
"I adopted Sesshomaru as my father." Ryan said as a larger blush flooded across his cheeks.
Tania nodded her head, fully understanding what Ryan was saying. She looked around uncomfortably as a heavy silence entered the room. The blue haired woman clutched the red sheets but then quickly let go when it started to get wrinkly.
"Umm…" Tania started to say uncomfortably. "Who is your real father?"
Once Tania saw the pain that flashed through Ryan's eyes she regretted saying anything. She stood up and was about to leave the room. Ryan turned to her with a smile that she knew well by now. That very smile made her heart speed up.
"I don't know." Ryan said with a sigh.
Tania stood still. Her beautiful long blue hair swished in the air ever so slightly.
"How come?" Tania asked as she stood facing Ryan.
Ryan just shrugged. "My father had abandoned me with some human. That human tried to raise me with love but me being a demon I didn't think I needed love, I was so wrong. But I still despised the human man. I tried my best to get him mad or angry but he always smiled. That made me mad, he never showed fear to me just tried to love me. Anyway, one day I figured out some of my powers. I started to destroy the village that I had lived in for years. The man still loved me but knew that I would kill everyone so he decided that I needed some kind of demon to help raise me. So he took me to Sesshomaru-sama."
Tania blinked a few times. Her bangs fell across her forehead casting a large shadow across her eyes. Her body started to shake ever so slightly.
Ryan noticed this and quickly turned to Tania, "What's wrong?"
Tania looked up at Ryan, tears streaming down her cheeks. Ryan's eyes widened as Tania launched herself at Ryan at full speed. She threw her arms around Ryan's shoulders and started to hug him to death as tears started to dampen Ryan's shirt.
"That's so sad!" Tania sobbed.
"Err…" Ryan said in confusion, not so sure on what to do.
Tania rubbed her face into Ryan's chest and Ryan tried his best to comfort the girl even though he could heat rush through his whole body.
"Let's go get some hot tea." Ryan said with a comforting smile.
Tania looked up at Ryan's face with a smile. His face was starting to turn red. Tania just giggled a little as she swiped the remaining tears off her cheek. Tania let go of Ryan and stood in front of him with a small smile.
"Lead on." Tania said with a nod.
Ryan smiled as he offered a hand to Tania, which she gracefully took.
Ryan opened the door and led Tania down to the kitchen forgetting all his other worries.
Naraku looked at the four men that stood in front of him. They stood with their backs straight and their heads high. They all had some features that resembled a big cat. One had leopard spots near his left eye and had a long tail that started to swish around his legs, which were long leopard legs that stood straight up like a human's leg. He had long blonde hair, tied back in what looked like a French braid. (Lmao) He held two long swords with thick black hilts. One of the hilts had a dragon running down it and the other one had a tiger sitting down. Another man seemed to be fused with a lion. He actually had hair that looked like a mane. His eyes were sharply pointed. He had whiskers on each cheek. He had long yellow paws with razor claws. The razor claws extended longer then his arm. (Think of X-men's, the dude with huge claws, except much longer.) They glinted whenever the sun hit it. One of the men had black striped running all over his body. A snout replaced his nose. His ears were on the top of his head. They were orange and seemed very fuzzy. His tiger like tail swished around. He had an extremely long sword in his hand that was double edged. Its red hilt looked like a falcon with its wings outstretched. The last of all four men had long powerful legs and his shoulder blades seemed to be very flexible. He had muscles enough to scare any old demon away. His cheetah ears were poking out from his fuzzy brown hair. He didn't seem to have any kind of weapon on him. They all were clothed in think black shirts and puffy pants that only reached their knee. Their big boots made them look even tougher. They all had a similar mark on their forehead and all of them had very cat like eyes.
"Yes men, I think we are getting to the point where I will need your assistance." Naraku said with a nod.
The four men did not make any movements. They glared down at Naraku but Naraku did not back down at all.
"Do you remember the agreement?" Naraku asked with a smirk.
The man that looked like a cheetah looked down at Naraku with a frown.
"Are you suggesting that my men and I are too dumb to remember your pathetic agreement?" The cheetah said with a dangerous gleam to his eyes.
"Oh, no." Naraku said with a chuckle, "Nothing like that."
"Then…" The cheetah man said with a small yawn.
"Well. Since I have called upon your graceful assistance you may take whatever you wish."
The cheetah man looked around the room quickly but then looked back at Naraku with an evil smile. He pointed an innocent finger at Naraku.
"I want your life." The cheetah man said with a smile.
Naraku nodded and returned the smile.
"Alright. My life is yours. All I want is for you four to attack my enemies and… I would like a small gem."
The cheetah man shook his head disapprovingly.
"I shall give you your gem and kill the lives of your enemies then I shall take your life and all your 'co-workers' lives." The cheetah man asked.
Naraku nodded his head, a smile started to make its way to the surface of his face.
Naraku decided that their talk was over so he turned around and walked off.
The four men chuckled loudly.
"What an idiot!" The tiger man said loudly, laughing as hard as a hyena.
"No kidding." The leopard man said with a huge grin.
"Anyway, it's better then torturing people in Hell, that was fun but doing that for all eternity wasn't on my application." Said the lion man with a yawn.
"I think your doing this to get a chance to see that woman. Why else would you agree?" The leopard said, with a side-glance at the cheetah.
A small blush from the cheetah answered the leopard's question.
"Awww!" All three of the men cooed, as the leopard blushed even harder.
"Shut up." The cheetah mumbled as he tried to regain himself.
"You knew you could never get her. She's a goddess after all." The lion said with a lazy yawn.
The cheetah sighed and then nodded.
"Lets go men." The cheetah said with a sigh as he stepped into a black portal.
The other three men followed their leader into the black hole.
Tracey looked a Sesshomaru then looked down at his books then once again looked back at Sesshomaru. He had not decided if he should give his notes to Sesshomaru or to Inuyasha. He looked up at Sesshomaru then back down at the books.
'Go ahead. Give it to Sesshomaru. He won't kill anything. Don't worry.' Kagome told Tracey with a smile in her voice.
"Kagome!" Tracey said happily as he jumped up then ran over to Kagome's side.
He launched himself at Kagome's body, ready to give her a hug but a he hit something really hard.
Tracey shut his eyes tight as he fell backwards onto the hard ground. He looked up to see Sesshomaru glaring down at Tracey.
'How dare he do that to you!' Kagome started to hiss.
"Kagome?" Tracey asked quietly.
'I'm up here.' Kagome said with a small giggle.
Tracey smiled and sighed with relief.
'Oh I understand now. And you mentioned something about giving him the notes I took?' Tracey asked her.
Sesshomaru looked down at the human whose expressions changed faster then Kagome's.
Tracey stood up with a smile. He walked over to his desk and opened up a cupboard to reveal his set of notes. He took it out then passed it to Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru read through the notes.
-Lady loved the moon
-Lady died by evil that threatened the existence of all living things
-Piece of heart was stolen, half stayed in body
-Nothing decayed, gem protected
-Object, gem, allowed her to live
-She only had half of the jewel
-She searched for the two objects, found
-Fused them into her body
-Became one with the moon
Sesshomaru looked up at Tracey, obviously he thought that Tracey belonged at an asylum.
"I know it seems like mumbo-jumbo but that's all I could figure out from the books." Tracey said trying to hold on to his sanity.
Sesshomaru shook his head sadly and was about to toss the paper into the trash but then Kagome stopped him.
'Wait! Look! Well, I died, somewhat, by Naraku. Well, Naraku in the form of Tracey. He is an evil that is threatening the existence of this world. My heart was stolen. I remember that. Naraku had pulled out a piece. I believe that the Jewel Of Four Souls was protecting me but I don't get it… I thought I was the only idiot who split up the Jewel…' Kagome thought a little bit. 'But I think, if we find the rest of the Jewel or my heart we might be able to do something.'
Sesshomaru nodded with understanding.
"I will put Ryan in charge of my armies. I will go on and search for your items." Sesshomaru said with a nod.
Kagome sighed with relief. For some reason, knowing that Sesshomaru was helping made her feel more secure.
"Wait, what army?" Tracey asked with confusion.
Sesshomaru stood up and walked out of the door.
"I suggest you tell the demon slayer and the monk to prepare for war in seven days." Sesshomaru's voice was heard from the hall he had disappeared from.
Tracey quickly grabbed many things off the shelves in his office and stuffed it into a small brown bag. He grabbed the bag then ran out of the office and started to look for the two other people he knew well.
Kikyo looked around herself. There were so many trees. Why was she put in the middle of the forest? She looked up at what was left of the sky. Many of the trees hid the sky from her but she could see a tall castle. She knew that just to reach that castle it would take her six or seven days but she had a feeling that she could do something at that castle. She started to sway as she made her way to the castle that was coming closer by every step.
A Lady clothed in a long yellow dress walked across the wide field of flowers. The moonlight gave everything in the field a soft glow. The lady sat down gracefully. Her hair swayed around her neck, seeming to go against the law of gravity. It floated around her form is a mesmerizing way. She lay back on her back and took in the beauty of the sky. Everything smiled back at her. The woman smiled back at the sky as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath in. Her chest went up and down with every breath she took.
'Life is wonderful.' The woman thought with a sigh.
Fire-Soul-Dragon: Yay! I'm finally picking up the pace, eh? Flip back to the first chapter, to think that my plot practically twisted around. Practically… Yeah, I like the four animal dudes! They are cool:3 So what do you think of the path this story is headed? I think this story will only last about 10 more chapters. I thought it would take me till chapter 40 but… it seems like I'm going to finish faster then I expected. I have almost hit forty reviews! How cool is that? And this story has almost 3000 hits. Do you guys think that I should add more humor or is it okay? If I were to add more humor it might take away from the story plot… not really but hey, whatever to make you guys happy. ;) Keep reading and Safe Clicking.
