Moonbeam21-Is it out of your system?
Rena Moon- (Eyes Wide in surprise.) Hey Mina! (Glances around and locates Yaten.) Catch! (Hurls the surprised singer in front of the derange blonde.) Sorry Yaten! (Quickly reaches over and yanks over Rena Moon from the sight of the blonde.) Come on, Rena Moon lets get you out of here. Thanks for your kind words. Kouga is in mighty big trouble.
I claim no ownership of said shows. WARNING spoilers for the show if you have not seen past Koga and Sesshomaru : A Deadly Encounter or read past Manga 104. This stands for up and coming chapters too. Although I will try to keep it vague.
Haruka clenched her jaws in appreciation of the up and coming battle. After all, she looked forward to taking the hurt of her akeala out of the hide of the dark haired stranger. Rushing the stunned stranger, her feet pounded the ground eagerly.
Kouga gulped as he saw the approaching figure of the sandy-blonde she-wolf. Lowering his defenses he stood and face his attacker with pride. However, he was saved by a streak of dark green that placed itself in the middle of the path. Glancing down he was shocked to find the elder she-wolf Setsuna.
Haruka halted her rush as she saw the form of the elder wolf. "Stand aside." Haruka growled out at the she-wolf. Setsuna raised her head, and ruffled her hackles.
"Kazeshu, the roukan wishes this ookami to keep his life." Setsuna warned.
"I care not that the roukan wants him alive, he hurt our akeala." Haruka bit back.
"You will do as the wolf counsel says." Setsuna lectured.
"Your loyalty, Kirishu, to which is always torn between the roukan and our akeala, tell me which one do you put first?" Haruka grounded out. Setsuna ruffled her fur at that question, and growled in warning.
"My loyalty, Kazeshu, is always to our akeala first, however, the yogensha said that the combined roukyou is reliant on him." Setsuna evenly informed her. "Stand down, Kazeshu." Setsuna ordered.
"Alright, but if he hurts the akeala once more, I do not care what the roukan says." Haruka stated. Setsuna nodded, and turned an inquiring eyebrow to Haruka.
"Where is Umishu?" Setsuna wondered.
"Sleeping." Haruka responded. "Hanteishu was with you right?" Haruka asked referring to Hotaru. Setsuna nodded, and pointed her muzzle back toward Hotaru. "Right, I am going to check on the Akeala, you deal with him." Haruka informed her. Setsuna nodded once more, and watched Haruka lope back to the cave. She turned to Kouga and shook her head.
"You know, you really hurt Serenity's feelings." Setsuna murmured off handedly. Kouga raised an interested eyebrow at Setsuna statement. "Though, I guess she just isn't in your caliber." Setsuna mentioned, and started walking away. "I figure Serenity could always do better with her choosing of friends." Setsuna flicked over her left shoulder. Kouga held his breath at the sting, and hunkered his shoulders.
"Please, tell her I am sorry." Kouga mumbled out. Setsuna turned around a gave her mysterious half smirk and smile.
"Tell her yourself, tomorrow morning, it will be your only chance." Setsuna informed him, and walked back into the den. "Come on Hotaru, hanteishu." Setsuna instructed.
Kouga walked quickly back to his cave, however, two youkai's were waiting for him. "Ginta, Hakkaku, why are you here?" Kouga inquired to his two remaining pack members.
"We have information on Naraku." the shave bald one except with a white rooster like mohawk said.
"What Ginta?" Kouga asked with surprise.
"We found a Buddhist monk that was forced to build a stronger force field around Naraku." the multi colored short haired one said. His black hair entwined with a purple crown of bangs.
"Really Hakkaku?" Kouga intoned. They both nodded, and Kouga cheered in silent happiness. "Well lets go." Kouga instructed, forgetting Setsuna's warning about Serenity. The trio left the cave, their trek however brought them pass Serenity's den, and Kouga stopped. "Serenity." Kouga whispered. "Hold, I will be right back." Kouga instructed.
Running down to where Serenity's rock was he grabbed a couple of flowers in passing. Lashing them together with some grass strips he laid them down on the rock. Also he plucked three stands of his raven hair, and two hairs from his furred tail. He tucked these in as well, to assure Serenity of his identity. They also stood for his sincerity, to part with strands of fur is a promise to return. "Sorry, I couldn't tell you face to face, Serenity." Kouga whispered to the flowers. "Don't worry though I will be back." Kouga promised, and took off into his tornado like gale. Unfortunately, he did that too close to the flowers, and the gale force winds sent the flowers into the river current. Kouga's apology would not be seen by the sapphirine eyes of the female youkai.
Serenity tussled with waking this morning, her clawed hand resting on her flute. Dismally she sat on her pallet staring at it in muted distrust. Her ears pricked when she heard soft footfalls, looking up she gazed on the garnets of one of her wisest advisors. "Serenity, wait by your rock, play, he might come and explain his actions." Setsuna instructed. Serenity glanced into the sincere eyes of her friend and nodded.
"Very well, I shall, but by the sun's own institute, we must leave when the sun cast a south west shadow on our river's hills." Serenity agreed. "I shall give him until then, if he does not show, we must make haste for Mount Hakurei." Serenity inscribed to her advisor. Setsuna nodded and then urged Serenity out the cave.
Serenity approached her rock and lifted her flute to play. "Perhaps I shall play of my confusion budding in my heart." Serenity mused, and then lifted her fingers to the holes of the flute. Soft music spilled from the wooden instrument, but hidden with the confused tone, was one of soft hope. The notes crept higher as the sun rose, and cast its rose dusted light onto the lips of the cliffs. Serenity opened her eyes as she felt the warmth from the sun, and turned to the direction of the shadow. "He did not come." Serenity whispered with a broken tone. "No matter, I have revenge to seek." Serenity scolded herself and stood staring into the rising sun. She was broken out of her reverent thoughts by a gentle clasp around her limp left hand. Gazing down into the eyes of her companion she sighed. "Ah Dante, you did warn me." Serenity murmured, with a gentle thrust into her sash she secured her flute. "Come, call for the hunt, it is time to leave." Serenity instructed and watched as Dante ran into the cave howling. As the river pack gather around Serenity's rock, she turned a determined gaze to the sky. Her pack surrounded her, and she let out a blood chilling howl, chorus by the pack.
A little off in the distance a silver haired youkai, with cold gold eyes blinked in the direction of the howls. "Some one calls for a blood hunt, interesting." He stated. The morning sunlight played off his features, the purple moon pointing to the left, the elegant kimono, covered by harsh war armor, and the long flowing boa.
"Lord Sesshomaru what is that?" A little raven haired girl with a side ponytail asked the golden eyed youkai.
"Nothing Rin." He answers, and together with a two headed brown dragon demon, a toad youkai, and the young girl continue on.
Just when Kouga was actually moving on good graces, he just had to follow his bloodlust. Hmm, Sesshomaru finally graces the scene, and the council of wolves subterfuge Haruka's protection. What is it that is building the background beyond the call of revenge?
