Chapter 3

As Seshumaru sped through the dense forest, Kagome and Andrea were heading straight toward the running yuoki. Seshumaru neared the girls and knew the two girls coming in his direction. The first was Inu-Yasha's wench, Kagome; the other he knew was his own blood. He pondered why this other woman would even travel with his brother's group. Then a thought occurred to him, the personalities of both them, 'they are similar, and if Andrea knew that Kagome was a miko with great potential, she would offer to train the said miko', he thought.

Andrea and Kagome found the hot springs that was near by their camp. The both said, "How about a long hot soak and bath." They giggled, then went behind the rock, undress and entered the spring. This is how Seshumaru found the two of them. He took the sight of them together and notice that the young miko looked quite a bit like Andrea. That was when Andrea lifted her head and listened intently and said, "you can come out of your hiding place young yuoki."

At this statement, Kagome thought she was talking about Shippo, but to her total amazement, Seshumaru walked into the clearing. Kagome gasped and said in a low whisper, "Seshumaru".

Seshumaru walked up to the two ladies and knelt beside the hot springs. Kagome had never seen this odd behavior in Seshumaru. For to Kagome, Seshumaru always said he would never show respect to a lowly human. That was when Seshumaru gave the young miko the shock of her life for he said to Andrea, "My lady, it has been quite a long time. How have your travels been?" in a very polite and courteous voice. He looked up and from Andrea and saw Kagome's mouth gaping. He just smirked at the sight.

Andrea told her nephew, "They have been fair. I have found an apprentice to train." Then she proceeded to introduce Kagome to Seshumaru.

"Yes This Seshumaru knows who this is. She is Inu-Yasha's wench." Seshumaru spat with disgust.

This statement gained him a death glare from both his aunt and Kagome. Before Andrea could say anything, Kagome yelled, "I am not his wench and I have a name. It is Kagome, K-A-G-O-M-E. You should know it by now as much as you fight with your half brother." Giving him a glare that would be called "if looks could kill."

At this point Andrea, was glaring daggers at her nephew and Seshumaru knew that he was in trouble. "Now is that how a Lord of the Western Lands should treat another being of this planet? If so you think so, then you do not deserve to be the Lord. You need to be taught some manners, and I am about to be the one to teach them to you". Andrea said candidly to him.

"This Seshumaru is humbly sorry, My Lady, but she is just a lowly human. She is not even half yuoki", retorted Seshumaru.

Is that so, then where does your brother stand. You hate him as much as you do us lowly humans. And if this is so, where do I stand in that regards, hmmm? Or do I need to kick your rude ass and teach you some well-needed royal manners. Your father must be turning in his grave at the thought of you treating anyone like this." She said coldly. By this time Andrea was very angry and disappointed and it showed in her face and especially her eyes.

Andrea's anger started to get the best of her, so her control on her illusions started to slip. The markings on her face started to appear, faintly at first and then so visible that they startled Kagome out of her anger. Andrea became angrier because her illusions that made her look human, just faded because of the yuoki standing in front of her. Since she had not allowed her illusions drop and in long time she decided to drop the rest and allow her time with no illusions in place. So her ears became pointed, then her eyes became more almond shaped and slowly changed to a brilliant green with a gold rim around them. Andrea looked at Kagome at this point and said, "What, do I have some thing disgusting on my nose?" This was to break the tension in the air that had come with her change of appearance.

Kagome stammered out, "Yo… your face and ears! They changed. Who and what are you!"

"Huh" Andrea said, and then looked at her reflection. "OH!" She yelled. Then looked at Seshumaru and said, "Now look what you made me do! Not only have you made me drop my well-created illusion, but also you made me scare my student. She is terrified of me now."

She turned to Kagome and told her "In time I would have slowly revealed my true self to you, but not like this. He really needs to be taught some manners." Turning to Seshumaru and sternly said, "Don't you young man!"

At this point Andrea as upset and frustrated so, being the immodest and quiet unconcerned of being seen, she got out of the springs completely naked. Kagome saw that Andrea had slightly clawed fingers but not quite as long as Inu-Yasha. Kagome got the courage to ask, "What are you? You don't look full yuoki, and slightly less than half. How can you have markings and not be full?"

Seshumaru, still being the rude yuoki he was, answered before Andrea could explain anything. "That does not concern you human. Lady Andrea does not need to explain who and what she is to the lowly creature you are"

"Okay!" Andrea irately said, "That is just about all that I can take! First you insult Kagome, and now you think you can speak for me as well. That is not going to happen and definitely not going to go unpunished."

Andrea's clothes just appeared on her out of nowhere and these were not just any clothes. They were her yuoki court clothes. Seshumaru knew then that he had really made his aunt mad. "Oh Boy" was all he could say before Andrea's energy field flared. At this point Kagome was frightened of this woman who she thought was her teacher.

Andrea, in a low cold voice, said "I suggest you leave my sight right now you Lord before I really loose my temper and decide to do some thing I would regret."

Seshumaru got up fairly quickly and gracefully, and bowed. Then he turned from the girls and started running as fast as his legs could carry him. He knew that he has pissed his aunt off by acting like an ass. Now he knew that this was truly his aunt and she was going to teach Kagome, his mind was more at ease for Kagome did have quite a lot of potential but no one to train her. Now that she does maybe that group can take care of the hanyo, Naraku.

Andrea turned to Kagome after Seshumaru left and told her, "You can get out now. Please go and get dressed for we have a lot to talk about."

As Kagome was getting out of the springs, Sango came in to the clearing running for she had sensed a demon. When she got to the hot springs she saw Andrea's energy field die down around her. Then Andrea turned toward the demon hunger and said, "the demon aura you probably sense was both Seshumaru's and mine as well. The reason you can sense mine is because I apart demon, and no I am not going to go all blood lusty and hurt anyone. Especially not your sister in arms, so you can put your mind at ease."

At this statement, Sango was struck speechless; this was because Andrea was being straight forward and truthful. Also because she felt Andrea had read her mind, so she asked, " How did you know I was going to ask that?"

Andrea chuckled, and answered, "You care about Kagome as a sister, so it would be only natural for you to ask that question. Then after that question was answered the next question I would be asking in your shoes would be, 'Who and what are you?' am I correct?" Sango just stood there, her mouth dropped open and all she could do was nod her head.

So the girls went back to camp and sat down to talk. They got rid of Miroku and Shippo by telling them that they wanted to have some private time to talk. So they sat around the camp fire while Andrea told the girls, " I can explain to you what I am, but as to who I am, that is a question I can't quite answer as of yet. There are some in this world that would not understand." Kagome and Sango understood this and nodded for Andrea to explain.

So Andrea sat there and contemplated on how to explain what she was, so she decided to be straight forward with the girls and said, "I am half dog demon but I am not half human, I am half elven. Hence the pointed ears vs. the puppy dog-ears. I inherited the pointed ears from my mother." At this point both Kagome and Sango were just blown away at the fact that Andrea was part elven. Neither one of them knew that elves even existed, let alone walked the earth. Andrea noticed the look on their faces and came to the conclusion that neither of them had heard of elves so she explained that elves are very rare today for they have all but disappeared from the land of men. But in the time of her father they were rather common. So the women talked about this and that, they did not notice that someone was watching them from the trees, the one and only Naraku.

Sorry to leave it as a cliffhanger. If I get any reviews I will update again soon.
