Hey guys sorry for the wait I found my self caught up in the endless list of chores, the work that never ends :( but its ok now hopefully anyways here's chapter 11. Disclaimer I do not own any of the original plots/storyline or the Inuyasha characters but I do own my own take on this my story and my characters: Yuzuki (Hanyo wolf), Raven (bad wolf demon), Ryuu (Water Dragon), Michiko and Satoru (Sister and Brother the new leaders to the Southern and Western wolf demon tribes), Hayami (Yuzuki's mother), Tsuyoshi (Hayami's best friend/teacher), Kamiko (Ryuu's mate).
Chapter 11: Ryuu's secrets
With everyone looking so gloomy I could only suspect it was because of my death "Yuzuki, is everything ok?" Sakura asked I turned my head slightly to look at her "Yeah everything's just fine, though I think it's time that you get back to your mother" I said as I crouched down to let her off. Sakura hoped down from my back and I turned around to face her with a smile "Yuzuki will you visit me and the village please" Sakura begged my smiled faded as I sighed "Sakura my friends and I have a very dangerous half-demon we are battling and until we defeat him I'd rather not get anyone else involved… You understand right?" I replied. Sakura looked at me and the smiled brightly "Yes, but once everything is ok will you visit?" Sakura said and I smiled as I pulled her into a hug "Of course I will…" I replied as I held her close, I let her go she smiled and laughed "I can't wait to see you again Yuzuki… Bye take care" Sakura says and runs off. I smiled "Bye Sakura, same to you" I said as I waved goodbye, I found Kirara by my side in her big form I smiled at her and turned around to the others "So should we get going then?" I asked "Yuzuki is there any place where you'd be safe?" Miroku asked I looked at him confused "Yeah right here with all of you guys" I replied. Ginta and Hakkaku looked upset, Koga was very concerned but was trying to act tough "Yuzuki what about your mother's teacher is he alive? He taught your mother right, so he must be powerful" Miroku said again. I frowned "You want to get rid off me now… Fine I'll go if that's what you want" I snapped and walked off along the river "Wait Yuzuki! Please we just want you to be safe since…" Kagome said I look back to her.
"Since I've already died once… Yeah I know remember I was the one who gave up my life…" I said and pointed at Inuyasha "To save that idiot… My friend… Your love… I told you all that I would sacrifice myself for anyone else and I would do the exact same thing again if given the chance" I continued. I turned my back on them and sighed "I know if I do anything like that again… If I die again that I won't be able to be brought back again… Though it is my choice of what to do with my life and I'd like you all to respect that… I'll give you all sometime alone to think if you want me to truly travel any further with you all" I said. "Where are you going?" Sango calls after me "To check on Ryuu, I'll be back in a week" I replied I heard a low growl and suddenly Inuyasha jumped in front of me "You ain't going no-where… We lost you once, we ain't gonna lose you again we'll take you to Ryuu and then once we're there we'll decide then what is best" Inuyasha snapped. I frowned and looked him up and down "Who do you think you are! You don't have a right to boss me around! I'll do what I want and you're not gonna stop me…." I growled and shoved past him but was picked up "Hey" I yelped as Inuyasha had chucked me over his shoulders "What do you think you're doing?! Put me down!" I yelled. Inuyasha ignored my request "So which way to Ryuu?" Inuyasha asked I growled "Not telling till you put me down… This is my first and only warning" I said "Inuyasha put Yuzuki down she's not a prisoner" Miroku said Inuyasha grunted "So you want to let her walk off and get herself killed again" Inuyasha barked. 'Killed again' I did that to save his butt I growled "You ungrateful…." I growled and stopped before I said anything I'd regret "I saved you and your brother! And this is how you treat me…" I snapped Inuyasha then put me on the ground.
"First of all he is my half-brother and secondly I never asked you to save me and neither did Sesshomaru… But if you want to go out there by yourself while Naraku, Naraku's servants and Raven are out there then go ahead…" Inuyasha said and then headed to towards the forest instead "Inuyasha, Sesshomaru may only be your half-brother but he's your family none the less you should be grateful…" I replied and turned back to walk the way I was heading before. "Yuzuki..." Shippo called and ran over and jumped to my shoulder "Can I go with you please" Shippo begged I smiled "Ask Kagome first…" I replied and with that he ran back to Kagome and asked for her permission I didn't turn around to face them, I couldn't not when they were thinking of kicking me out of the group for my own safety. I heard Shippo running my way "Yuzuki!" he yelled and jumped on my shoulder "Kagome said I can go with you" Shippo said with a huge grin on his face I smiled back "That's great but are you sure you want to come with me?" I asked Shippo nodded instantly "Yep, of course I mean I will miss my friends and Kagome but I feel as if I need to travel with you plus I'd miss you way too much if you left now" Shippo replied. I gave a bright smile "Ok then let's get going we have a long way to go" I said and with that I started to run with Shippo clinging to my shoulder, I reached back and grabbed his kimono and held him in my arms instead "Huh?" Shippo exclaimed. I smiled down at him "I don't want you losing your grip and flying off on me" I explained Shippo smiled "Thanks Yuzuki" he replied I looked back ahead and kept running till I reached a little way from the Southern wolf lands border. I skidded to a stop puffing "You ok Yuzuki?" Shippo asked I nodded "Mhmm… I just think we should rest here the night before going into the Southern Lands" I replied Shippo looked a bit concerned "Is it because of your village and the Wolf demon guy who's meant to be leader of either the Southern or Western wolf tribes?" Shippo asked.
I smiled as I put my hand to his head and rubbed his head which messed up his hair "You sure are smart... So what shall we eat for dinner?" I said Shippo grinned as he chuckled "Hmm…" Shippo sighed as he scratched his head in thought. Suddenly a scent had appeared I sniffed the air to confirm while Shippo jumped to my shoulder sniffing as well he was slightly shaking "Who's there?" I ask aloud a figure came out of the shadows holding a boar in hand and had a smile plastered on his face. He had golden eyes that sparkled, his hair was a light blue puffy and short (it didn't go past his neck/shoulders), he also had two golden horns on his head (that stood up straight with a slight bend) he also had demon ears, claws and fangs. The demon had only a fur cape that was held on only by a golden chain with a sapphire circle in the middle, the cape was black in colour and almost touched the ground but stopped near his ankles, it exposed his bare chest. He had leather scaly looking kimono pants on and was bare foot, his chest had scars all over but he was not scrawny in fact he was very muscular, and his face had a couple of markings on it a horizontal line breaking into two at the end underneath each eye, and three thin claw like lines from his forehead coming down to his eye brows then another three thin claw like lines from his jaw line to the middle of his cheek. I frowned then gave a light growl "Who are you?" I asked his smiled turned into a smirk "I thought you would remember me but I can't blame you it's been so long since you've seen me in this form" he said a confused look came over my face as I tilted my head slightly to the side and looked him over again.
It suddenly clicked I gasped "Ryuu?..." I said he gave a big grin "Took you long enough" he laughed I can't believe it's him l haven't seen him in human form since the last time when I was seven when he taught me all I needed to know and the basics of what he knew about water sorcery. "Yuzuki isn't Ryuu a water dragon though?..." Shippo asked confused oh I never told anyone about much about Ryuu "Ryuu is a water dragon, he's just in his demon form he can change between being a dragon and being a dragon demon" I explained Shippo looked Ryuu up and down then leaped off my shoulder and walked up to him. Shippo sniffed from a few paces away "You are him… Wow that's new I never heard of this before, so now that you guys have found each other what's there to talk about? Oh wait can we talk while we have dinner please I'm starved" Shippo said I looked to Ryuu and he nodded and same over and placed the boar down. "I'll get some fire wood, I'll be back soon" Ryuu said then took off he looked so different, but yet he is still the same dragon I know now "Hey Yuzuki?" Shippo asked "Hmm…. What is it Shippo?" I asked back "The injuries Ryuu had a couple days ago… How is he healed from that? He is only left with scars now, I don't get it" Shippo said. I smiled "Ryuu is special he's been around for quite a while now, and he's been through a lot of fights and wars, he has learned many things… So in saying that he would know what is the best way to treat your wounds and how to heal faster" I replied Shippo looked interested "Do you think he could teach us that and maybe everything else" Shippo said excitedly I laughed.
"Shippo do you realise how much knowledge Ryuu has it would take us years to acquire what he has learnt" I replied "Well do you think he would teach us little basic things that would be useful right now… Since we're not in the best situation…" Shippo says. I looked at Shippo as he looked away "Shippo are you worried about everyone in regards to Naraku? Or are you worried about my situation?" I ask him Shippo looked at me with tears in his eyes "Please don't die I don't want you to die…" Shippo sobbed as he clung to me. "Yuzuki what does he mean?" Ryuu asked as he came out of the trees and towards us with firewood in his arms, he places it down and looks at me with a frown more concern and upset then angry. I sighed heavily "I got caught in a trap by the panther demons, they kidnapped me and yesterday night they were going to sacrifice me to their master to resurrect him but it didn't work my friends came but things happened Inuyasha 'a hanyo dog' and Sesshomaru 'a dog demon' were busy fighting some panther demons but didn't notice the master of the panther demons behind them ready to kill them both to resurrect himself but I shoved them out of the way and well…" I explained as I closed my eyes remembering the events of that night clearly in my mind. I opened my eyes and look to Ryuu, he sighed sadly and went to make the fire he didn't reply or give me a second glance I suppose he got what happened in the end but I couldn't let them die Inuyasha had Kagome and Sesshomaru no doubt had someone else he cared for. Ryuu lit the fire and put the boar on to roast it "Hey Shippo wasn't it?" Ryuu said "Uh Yeah" Shippo replied "Come here I'll teach you how to cook and a few other things if you're interested" Ryuu said Shippo's face lit up as a smiled spread across his face.
As Shippo and Ryuu talked, while Ryuu taught Shippo a few things I took off my satchel and placed it down next to me and laid down on my side with my back to the fire and drifted to sleep after all I could trust Ryuu with my life and knew Shippo was a good kid and wouldn't do anything to upset anyone. "Yuzuki… Hey wake up kid…" Ryuu's voice called to me as I received a light shake "Urgh… I'm up" I said as I yawned and stretched my arms out "Here I saved some dinner for you…" Ryuu says placing a few pieces of sliced meat on a large leaf in front of the fire as I turned around. Ryuu looked at the sleeping fox kit that was sleeping on the other side of me next to the fire "He's a great kid…" Ryuu said with a smile but there was sadness in his eyes "Ryuu do you miss your mate?" I asked he chuckled "Yeah always, I try to visit her and our kids when I can… You know I just found out not long ago she's pregnant again" Ryuu says as a smile spreads across his face. Pregnant again this will be there third child "Will it be a boy again?" I asked he laughs "I think boy but my mate thinks otherwise, she's been hoping for a girl" Ryuu replies I giggle "Do you think I can get to see them?" I asked. "I've told them all about you and since we live in that place now they've seen you a few times because of your mother's teacher 'Tsuyoshi' though I think it would be nice to have you meet my family and to see Tsuyoshi again would be a great benefit for you" Ryuu replied I smiled "Thanks I can't wait to meet them… But about Tsuyoshi when I… I died I saw my mother again and she told me to go to you so I could meet Tsuyoshi and ask him about my father and to expand and learn to control my water sorcery more" I said.
Ryuu stared into the flames and nodded "Ok well I'll drop you off at the place and then take the fox kit with me and get your friends that way when we get there you'll have had time to train and get to know everything you will need to now in order to take on your future" Ryuu said I looked at Ryuu "Is Naraku plotting something? How long will my friends be with us for" I asked. Ryuu looked at me "Do you not want your friend's safety?" Ryuu asked "That's not what I meant…" I said Ryuu sighed then smiled "Get some sleep and trust in my decision everything will become clear tomorrow" Ryuu said as he laid down on his back and I threw my leaf and scraps into the fire then laid down on my side this time facing the fire and fell asleep again. "Yuzuki!" 'Shippo's voice' "Urgh…" I groaned as I felt someone jump on me and my tired eyes opened to see a happy Shippo smiling at me "Morning Shippo…" I said with a smile "Good morning Yuzuki, Ryuu said that we're going to leave really soon" Shippo replied. I sat up and yawned "Ok…" I said and grabbed my satchel as I stood up then placed my satchel over my head and right arm, Shippo then came over and hung of my shoulder "You're up… Good let's go I'll fly you there and then Shippo and the rest of your friends and I can walk back which gives you a whole week to train" Ryuu said appearing from the trees. Ryuu came over to us "Could you hold my cape?" he asks I smiled "Of course I can… So you're going to your dragon form then?" I said he smiled and took off his cape revealing his whole upper body and giant dragon wings that were sliver and light blue he came over to Shippo and I as he folded his cape, Ryuu handed me his folded cape. I held his cape then grabbed Shippo's Kimono and took him into my arms holding him close against my chest along with Ryuu's cape "I've been in dragon form for a long time, being in my demon form is refreshing…" Ryuu then picked me up bridal style and smiled at both of us "Ready?" he asked I nodded as I held the cape and Shippo tighter.
Ryuu leapt off from the ground and flew into the sky with me tightly in his grip, I could see over the whole Southern region the view was un-believable, it was so beautiful a smile crept across my face "Hold on…" Ryuu said. I knew what he planned to do, I made sure I had a firm grip on Shippo, Ryuu then shot through the sky at lightning speed, everything was a blur, the cool wind flew around me and made my hair flow with it, I closed my eyes hoping we weren't far off now. "We're here…" Ryuu said and I opened my eyes to see Ryuu landing on the ground with us he put me down I gave his folded cape to him "Ok Shippo you have to go back to everyone else with Ryuu now, and we'll see each other in a week" I said as I looked down at Shippo "Why can't I stay?" Shippo asked looking upset. I smiled at Shippo "Well everyone else doesn't know Ryuu can look like a demon as well as a dragon so please go with Ryuu and explain to the others, plus you'll see me again in one week time" I replied Shippo brighten up a little bit "You promise?" Shippo said I nodded "I promise Shippo" I replied and hugged him tight before handing him over to Ryuu. "You remember the way?" Ryuu asked I nodded "Yes, very clearly" I said "Ok then we'll see you in a week, have fun" Ryuu said as he turned to leap off into the sky "Will do, Be careful!" I yelled after them as Ryuu took to the sky and with a wave they flew off just as fast as we got here. I turned around to see the huge cave, I took a deep breath and walked in, there was a chill in the air as I walked through the cave I had walked for quite some time it just kept getting darker I stopped, something's not right suddenly a little spark of light appeared and was getting closer and heading towards me really fast I hid behind a boulder that was just big enough to hide me. The light was what I had feared it was fire "Who dares enter this cave?" a fearsome roar echoed through the cave "My name's Yuzuki, my friend Ryuu dropped me off here so I could speak to my mother's teacher 'Tsuyoshi'" I replied still hiding behind the boulder "Ryuu?" the voice said and less fierce "If you have come to see Tsuyoshi and Ryuu had brought you here you must be her then, the one my mate has told me so much about" the voice said again.
"Mate? You're Ryuu's mate?" I questioned and stood up and turned to see light appear as the darkness slowly went down, she must have been in her dragon form I could see the figure of a woman and slightly pregnant. I know that that she has to be Ryuu's mate, I walked towards her "Come I will take you to Tsuyoshi" she said as I followed her out into the bright sun light I could see everything the way it was when I was little the waterfall, the basin at the bottom of the waterfall the stream, steam from the hot-springs, a small forest and clearings one which had lots of flowers. I smiled and turned to Ryuu's mate I was stunned she was so beautiful, her long auburn hair pulled into a bun on the top of her head and two hair strands hanging down in front of her demon ears and a fringe that went to just above her eyebrows, she had golden eyes that sparkled. She had claws as well and wore a slivery/white and red patterned kimono, I would have expected nothing less since she was pregnant it wasn't wise to wear your normal clothes unless it was something that was loose and comfortable, she wore no footwear. She gave me a friendly bright smile showing her fangs "My names Kamiko, I know that Ryuu feels he shouldn't talk about us, his family when outside of this place so if there's anything you do not know and would like to know I'd be happy to tell you" she says I smiled "Thank you Kamiko, it's a pleasure to meet you he had told me awhile back of your two children but not in great detail and last night told me you were pregnant again, he will be back with my friends here in a week from today" I said. Kamiko looked surprised "Really? One week you say?" she said happily with a spark of joy in her eyes I smiled as I was about to reply when two young children with two Tiger demon approached "Mommy! Mom!" the children cried out in happiness as they ran towards Kamiko.
Ok so that's chapter 11 I hope you liked it, leave a review or private message (PM) me if you want to leave any comments/opinions/questions or even ideas of what should or could happen next... I was thinking of when Koga, Ginta and Hakkaku, Inuyasha and the gang finally arrive after Yuzuki's exciting week things should get more heated and she starts to spend time with each of the wolf demons (Koga, Ginta and Hakkaku) so she can figure her feelings out but that'll have to wait till either chapter 13 maybe 14 we'll see what happens anyways till the next chapter :)
