Chapter 12: Story Time

Two boys one looked about 11 and the other about 5 in human years ran to Kamiko and hugged her tight "Hello my sons, I hope you've been good" Kamiko said "Yes…" the older one said "He's bragging and keeps saying he's better at everything" the younger one said. Kamiko looked at the eldest, he just gave a guilty smile and light chuckle "We'll talk about this later, boys this is Yuzuki a friend of your fathers' she'll be staying with us for a while, Yuzuki these are my sons "Taro, is the eldest and Kenji the second eldest" Kamiko said introducing us. "Hey it's nice to meet you two finally, your father hasn't told me much but I'm looking forward to getting to know you both" I said with a smile "Fathers tells us a lot about you and some of the adventures you go on it sounds like fun I'm hoping to go with him on some of his adventures soon" Taro replies. Taro looks more like his father feature wise but he had bright red hair and was in a spiked up scruffy look he had golden eyes with red speckles in them, he had the same sort of clothing like Ryuu but instead of a long robe he had an loose kimono shirt and a belt but it wasn't tied on properly and the kimono shirt had the same kind of look as the kimono pants. I felt Kenji hug me "You're even prettier in person…" Kenji says, Kenji had straight but short hair much like his fathers and a light blue colour too, his eyes were golden with silver speckles in them and had the same outfit as his older brother but it was done up properly.

"Yuzuki… Is that really you?" a voice said that sounded very familiar I looked to see the two tiger demons a female that had white hair with faint black stripes through it, her hair was long and tied in a plat and bright blue eyes that sparkled like sapphires. She wore a fur dress of some sorts that went from just above her breasts to mid-thigh, at the top there was a thin string of fur that was at the middle on the front of her dress in-between her breast line and went around her neck to hold the dress up, it's colour was white with black stripes like her hair. The other was a male tiger demon who had pure black hair which was short and wavy, he had crimson eyes, he's chest was exposed though he had a necklace that had five symbols hanging off it (yin-yang, water, earth, fire, air symbols), and wore fur pants that were black with grey stripes. He looked familiar, could he be Tsuyoshi? "Yes this is Yuzuki, Yuzuki this is Tsuyoshi and Narumi" Kamiko said I looked at him in shock, I couldn't believe that it was him "Tsuyoshi…." I said the next thing I knew his arms were around me engulfing me in a tight hug and I did repaid the favour hugging him tighter "It's been so long… How come I only had Ryuu to help me? Why didn't you at least check on me?" I said "I'm so sorry Yuzuki, but I had important things to do a few things involving your past, present and future… First let us all eat and you can tell us all of your journey so far and then we can discuss serious maters afterwards just you and me kid" Tsuyoshi said as he let go of me.

I smiled at him "That sounds great…" I replied "Oh this is my beautiful mate Narumi, I'm sure you girls will get along just fine" Tsuyoshi said "It's a pleasure to meet you finally" Narumi says smiling "It's nice to meet you too" I replied. "Yuzuki would you like to come with my boys and I to the den while Narumi and Tsuyoshi get something to eat for us all?" Kamiko asked I nodded "Sure if you need help with anything at all I'd be happy to help" I said. "It's good to know you're still the same… Your just like your mother anyways enough chit chat, I want to hear your adventures so you guys better get a fire going and we better go catch something to eat" Tsuyoshi said as he picked up us his mate and ran off to catch some food I giggled seeing him run off with her in his arms and turned back to Kamiko seeing her smile. "I'm dying to know if you have anyone special in your life, a special someone the look in your eyes says you are in love but I shall have to wait for them to get back before I hear the story" Kamiko says I blushed I don't even know who I love I know I love them equally they all have traits I love about them I sighed heavily this is going to be one long week without them.

We walked back to the den Taro and Kenji led the way racing each other I smiled and giggled as they would play fight and play jokes on each other along the way while I picked up sticks and twigs for the fire. Once we arrived Kamiko showed me the fire and I placed the sticks and twigs down and started the fire the boys sat at either side of the mother "Hey Lady Yuzuki is Mom right about you having a mate?" Kenji asked I blushed "No I don't have a mate, but I have a few guys competing for my love" I replied. Kamiko went wide-eyed "How many guys?" Kamiko asked "Ah three-four" I said "Oh my, it must be very exhausting" Kamiko replied I nodded "You have no idea how exhausting it really is but no matter if I'm away from them for a couple days or a couples minutes I miss them" I said. Kamiko smiled and was about to say something when we heard Tsuyoshi and Narumi come back and smelt the kill, I remained quite while they cooked the boar, Taro and Kenji told me all about all their time her with and without their father being here "Right enough talk boys time to eat and then we get to hear your stories" Tsuyoshi said. I nodded and gave a smile we ate dinner and I listened to Tsuyoshi tell everyone a few stories of when he taught my mother and I listened to every detail. Once dinner was finished we got comfortable around the fire, Narumi was leaning against Tsuyoshi while he wrapped his arms around her and Taro and Kenji on either side of Kamiko and snuggled up to her as she held them close.

"Ok so for a most of the years in my life I had spent my time helping travellers and people in need, my life wasn't really that interesting until I meet some unique people, about just over a week ago, I was by the river when I heard some people walking in my direction and I hid behind a tree in the nearby forest…" I started Kenji and Taro had intrigued looks on their faces "The strangest group of travellers appeared, little did I know I would meet them later and almost all of us would end up being friends…" I said. "We're they all demons?" Kenji asked "Kenji let Yuzuki tell her story and we can ask questions later" Kamiko said I smiled "Ok, sorry for interrupting" Kenji said "It's ok now I was just about to introduce the strange group of travellers, first there was a strange looking but very pretty Priestess named Kagome, a cute fox kit Shippo, then a pretty and smart female demon slayer named Sango and she had a companion a two-tailed cat demon named Kirara. The ones I tended to stay away from was the lecherous monk Miroku and a half-dog demon Inuyasha…" I said. "You met another hanyo, that's really cool but shouldn't you two be friends?" Taro asked I giggled "It's well a strange relationship we have, sometimes we're really good friends and other times we're at each other's throats… Though we have never really hurt each other" I replied "Wow… Keep going is there others?" Kenji says. I nodded "That was one group, I was watched the humans argue with Inuyasha and then I left before they could pick up my scent as soon as I got far enough away I smelt wolf demons and wolves approach so I hid" I said "You hid? Why aren't you half wolf too?" Taro asked I nodded "Yes but when I ran from my village when I was younger two wolf demons confronted me and told me never to enter there Southern Territory again and not long before that my mother promised me never to come back saying that I may be killed…" I replied.

I shook my head "Anyways back to my story, as I hid from them and they came into view I wouldn't have realised it then back the three wolf demon men had expressed to me that they love me..." I said "All three of them…" Taro said surprisingly "That just proves how beautiful you are" Kenji said. I smiled "Thank you" I said blushing "So what happened next? And what are their names?" Kenji asked "Ok I'll get to their names in a minute, so one of them had caught wind of Inuyasha's scent and he wasn't happy and his name was mentioned hearing his name I opened my mouth without thinking with made me know and the next thing I was answer questions from one of them, I ended up getting fed up of his attitude saying something then walked off leaving them, I found a tree while off near a river and sealed myself off till morning when I heard talking I realised I had ended up in the west and there was a panther demon speaking to a wolf demon whose name was Raven…" I said. The two boys gasped "What were they talking about?" Taro asked "Yeah and how did you get out of their?" Kenji asked "Well here's the interesting part I heard the panther demon say she had a plan to take over the whole region but she needed some shards and when they had taken over they were going to leave him, Raven in control of all Wolf Demons, so I flung water at them and ran as fast as I could but I wasn't fast enough Raven was had caught up to me and tripped me up and asked a few questions and then he decided that I would be his mate… I declined obviously and he didn't like that so he held me by the throat I then heard voices ones I had heard before…" I said.

"Oh I know who it was that came to rescue you… It was the three wolf demons!" Kenji said excitedly I beamed him a bright smile "Yes it was, Koga, Ginta and Hakkaku… Koga is the leader of the Eastern Wolf Tribes, Ginta and Hakkaku are his right and left hand men, while Raven was distracted by Koga I swept him away in the nearby river after talking with all three of them I told them about my water sorcery, me being a hanyo and even about the plot the panther demon and Raven had talked about, Koga decided to let me join them in their journey for an evil Spider Hanyo named Naraku…" I replied. "Oh wow, this just keeps getting better…" Taro said excitedly "You haven't heard the anything yet, while travelling together I felt a huge storm coming and told them we should head for shelter but Koga was only interested in the Priestess named Kagome, it may seem a bit confusing but he saw his love to her before I came along anyways he ran off to find her and we followed we found them on the other side of a cliff I saw lightning bolt headed for them so I moved them to a cave in the cliff below and then took Koga, Ginta, Hakkaku and myself down only to get pushed around by Inuyasha…" I said. Everyone was very intrigued in my story I told them about everything that happened in the cave and how Ryuu save Miroku's life after getting slapped by being himself though I never told them what I heard when I was in a light sleep I always keep that to myself, and then the time came to tell them about me versing Kagura and then Naraku and how Ryuu came to help me then told them how Kagome saved my life. Then told them about how Raven found me again and Kagura saved my life from him and took him away because Naraku wanted him then about the whole going back to my old village and then wanting to talk to the sirens for some answers and then how Sango, Kagome and I came up with a plan to go to Sango's village so I could learn how to fight and not just rely on my sorcerer skills.

As I told them of my next couple days that also involved saving Michiko the daughter of the leaders of the Southern and Western Wolf Tribe leaders, though Tsuyoshi looked surprised when he heard who Michiko was the daughter of. I then told them of my training days with Sango and how the panther demons found me and wanted me for their leader and how I tried to fight them off while Sango went back to get Koga, Ginta and Hakkaku and how I was caught in a bad situation then told them Michiko's older brother Satoru came to my rescue. I then told them of what happened when I ran into the guys on the way back and how Satoru caught up with us and wanted to be the one to protect me, I felt like I was missing something Tsuyoshi had a grin on his face the type of grin that says he knows something. I would talk to Tsuyoshi later about my father so I will be finding out what he knows about Satoru and Michiko then, I continued telling my story and how the panther demons captured me and were going to sacrifice me to their leader and Inuyasha's brother had saved me from the panther demons leader and then how I saved Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's lives and the panther demon leader taking mine and three other panther demons. I then told them about how I had met with my mother again and how Sesshomaru brought me back and the argument I had with the group and how Shippo had left with me to find Ryuu, and told them the final details leading up to when I met Kamiko. Taro and Kenji wanted to stay up some and talk "Oh please mom can we stay up just a little longer?" Taro pleaded "Please mom…" Kenji said as they looked to Kamiko begging "No I think you've been up long enough besides Yuzuki will still be here for a week, you have heaps of time to talk now off you go to bed" Kamiko replies.

Kenji and Taro gave a slight bow of their heads and said goodnight and went off to bed "Goodnight Yuzuki, I'll see you in the morning, if you'll excuse me I have to make sure the boys do as there told" Kamiko says I giggle "I understand, goodnight" I said Narumi had got up and started to clean up the left overs. "Tsuyoshi about my father…" I said "You want to know who he is? And what tribe he's from right?" Tsuyoshi asked I nodded "Yes…" I replied and waited for an answer or some kind of explanation "Your father is a part of the Southern Wolf Tribe, you do have a lot of your father in you and a lot of your mother and that is what makes you so great, for now that will be enough for you to know I will tell you once your training is completed, we must work on the abilities of controlling the power of your water sorcery as well as your physical fighting skills" Tsuyoshi said I looked at him confused I frowned this is so frustrating I don't get to know anything until my training is complete "Yuzuki, when it is time you will find out but for now be patient and focus on your training" Tsuyoshi said I looked up at him and gave a nod "Ok… ah Tsuyoshi I was wondering since I am able to control water would you be able to teach me how to control ice, storm clouds and other things" I asked. Tsuyoshi stared at me blankly "You want to learn to expand your power out that far?" Tsuyoshi asked I gave a nod "Yes, it would not only help me fight of my enemies but help protect others" I said Tsuyoshi smiled "Your mother tried but wasn't able to with stand have that much control but I think you are strong enough to… We'll start in the morning" Tsuyoshi said. I smiled "Thank you" I said bowing my head slightly, this was great I was finally able to learn how to expand and control my powers more, though there was still the thought of what Satoru last said to me, I sighed heavily what I am going to do "Yuzuki what is troubling you so much?" Tsuyoshi asked.

I looked to Tsuyoshi "Uh it's about the situation with my friends and Satoru…" I started to say "Oh I wouldn't worry too much about that, when your friends get here at the end of the week they'll be looking for you to save them… And as for Satoru he has his reasons for caring about you, that will be clear once your training has been completed" Tsuyoshi said cutting me off and gave a bright smile. I was slightly confused but I didn't dare argue with Tsuyoshi he was wise and always had his reasons for doing what he does "Come now I'll show you to your cave" Tsuyoshi said standing up, I stood up and followed him down a passage way to the left "These ones have been unused for quite a while but at least they'll be occupied for a bit once your friends come" Tsuyoshi said. I looked at him strangely "What makes you think they will want to stay?" I asked "They would be fools not to take a break at a place where they are most welcome… They have helped you so I shall offer a place of refuge here if they ever need a place to stay or even to hid out for a while" Tsuyoshi said I smiled Tsuyoshi was so kind "Thank you Tsuyoshi" I said. Tsuyoshi put his arm around my and pulled me close and I put my arm around his waist, we walked side by side we stopped at a entrance that had a fur curtain tied up so you could see in "This is your cave while you're here… It used to be your mothers, she got used to sleeping on hay beds like your father so I had one done up for her, I'll see you in the morning Yuzuki, goodnight" Tsuyoshi says and kisses my forehead "Thank you, good night" I said. I walked in and there was a tall standing wooden framed mirror, a chest for clothes a huge hay bed, and rack on the wall for weapons. I placed my satchel down next to the chest and untied the fur curtain letting it cover the entrance I went to the hay bed and laid down but it was the strangest thing I smelt two scents, mothers and a wolf demons scent "Father…" I whispered a smile crept to my face as I snuggled into the hay bed and fell asleep.
