The Melody of Life

Chapter 5: Friends or Foes?

By: Star Blaze & Kitty Pryde

Last chapter:

"Uh…I know it may kinda be the wrong time but…CAN YOU GUYS HELP ME?!" Cory yelled struggling to get up without waking the form on top of him.

"Oh! Sorry Cory we were watching the battle!" Sora said running over to help his friend with Cynthia at his heels. Cory wasn't really paying any attention to what he was doing; he was totally into the battle worrying about Madison and Star's welfare. Cloud was doing the same; he was really worried about both his sister and girlfriend. Sora and Cynthia were almost done getting the young hanyou off Cory when she stirred. Everyone stopped all movement, staring at her…

The girl slowly opened her eyes staring a bit blankly at the faces around her then quickly rose up alert but tripping over Cory's feet before fully standing up. She was about to ask where she was but when she saw the current battle raging before her, she quickly ran to aid in the effort grabbing her scabbard on the way. While running she unsheathed her sword and began to hack away at the youkai's right arm. (A/N Kitty: Kitty's writing for a while!) The new fighter distracted the demon long enough to let Star (A/N Star: Okay remember I'm still full youkai.) and Madison come in to do some serious damage to the creature. The girl then delivered the finishing blow to the youkai with one final swing of her sword…or so she thought. The youkai's five jewel shards gave it enough power to regenerate it's lost body parts and reform. All three girls jumped back, trying to decide what to do next. The youkai was strong in the first place, but with the added power of the jewel, he was going to be a much more formidable foe. Add to that the fact that he seemed to be impossible to vanquish this was turning out to be some fight that was sure to take a while.

"Argh. This guy was a lot easier last time…" The young demon grumbled.

"What do you mean 'last time'!" Inuyasha yelled from his place on the sidelines.

"I fought this demon before. He wasn't to happy about dying at the hands of a half -demon, so now he's back for another beating." She growled. Just thinking about the past incident made her blood boil.

Inuyasha had had enough of this child's play. He unsheathed the Tetsusaiga and began to run towards the enraged youkai. Kagome knew exactly what he was going to do. She and their traveling companions had witnessed this routine countless times before. She readied her bow and shot her arrow at the exact same time as Inuyasha unleashed his 'Kaze no Kizu' or 'Wind Scar'. The arrow hit the youkai in the forehead and immobilized him seconds before the Wind Scar found impact. The Wind Scar took care him of thoroughly decapitating the youkai. "Well that was easy." Inuyasha snorted. The girls stared at him in shock from their positions around the carcass of the now dead youkai. (A/N: You should listen to Bring me to Life by Evanessence now.) Star looked around at the demons surrounding her. So many that she could kill, but one seemed to be particularly enticing. She was a greater threat to Star's life than any of the other youkai so she decided to destroy her first, then kill off the rest of the group. She charged at the unsuspecting youkai, readying her claws for the kill. "What the fuck?" The girl yelled as the older demon rammed into her. She countered the blow with her sword, which was forced back at her by the other demon's brute strength. Inuyasha felt the need to come and help the younger demon defend herself so he ran up and grabbed Star from behind holding her still until she calmed down. Star thrashed about for a bit but then realized that her resistance was futile. The contact with the other hanyou slowly changed Star back into her hanyou form as well. When she had calmed down and stopped struggling, Inuyasha released her. She swayed for a moment then began to fall. Inuyasha's fast reflexes helped him catch her before she hit the ground. She stayed out of it only for a minute or two then she came back to reality lying, still rather weak in Inuyasha's arms. As Star stood up, she sensed another youkai coming rapidly towards them. "There's another youkai…" she managed to say taking deep breaths.

(A/N Star: Alright that's enough Kitty…even though she's not really here at the moment and I'm here alone in my room a week later…I'm gonna do this in first person again! And listen to Run around by Jasan Radford now.)

A cat youkai appeared out of the sky with a young woman and a man on her back.

"Sango! Miroku! There is a youkai coming our way! Ready yourselves!" Kagome yelled to her friends. The two quickly got off of the cat youkai and readied them selves for battle. Everyone took their fighting stance and waited, except Zero. I could tell it was a hanyou like Madison, Inuyasha, Zero, and me by the scent and I think they could tell too. I heard all the movements of the youkai and looked towards the way it was coming from while waiting for it to attack us. I noticed that Zero had slowly walked over to me with full alert and waited. I looked to her and sensed that the youkai was very close and also heard a female voice yell, "ZERO!!!!!!!!" Then suddenly the hanyou jumped me from behind knocking me over to the ground, got up, and quickly flipped me over. Then I saw a young hanyou girl that was about to punch me when she realized something. She put her fist down slowly, backed up a few steps, and stared at me. I slowly got up and wondered why she had not attacked me. She was a young hanyou dog about 16, and about 5'7. She had emerald green eyes, a long black, waits length ponytail tied almost at the base of her neck, and a pair of ears perched on her head. Also on her forehead was a red symbol made of three petals meeting at the edges and circle around the joining point. Her clothing was mixture of red, gold, brown, and a tealish green. She wore a low cut, red sleeveless shirt only covering her chest that had a teal collar and was trimmed in brown and gold on the edges.

Her bottom piece looked like shorts that were very short starting at the hips showing her stomach then ending only mer inches above her boot's cut off. They also were brown but with a golden buckle and an outlining. Then there was a golden flimsy fabric acting as a belt. The middle of the belt was hanging over her shorts slightly touching the bottom of her shorts and then hanging to her knees coming out of both of her sides were the ends of the belt. Her shoes were brown boots tightly covering her legs up to her thighs and also golden outlining at the low part of the boot. "You're not Zero…" the young hanyou whispered lowly but just loud enough for a hanyou's ears to hear. I was very sure all the half-breeds heard her; Madison, Inuyasha, and the girl, who I think is my sister, Zero. "I know I am not my younger sibling…but how do you know of my sister?" I had replied to her then I saw Zero laying against a tree out of the corner of my eye but I paid no mind to it. She was speechless, her mouth was hanging slightly open, her body was motionless, and she was wearing a face of surprise and shock. She had slowly regained herself, bowed to me and spoke, "Its my honor to meet you…Lady Star..." (A/N: You should listen to Come Clean by Hilary Duff for awhile, because it describes how I feel here.) I felt myself blush, I wasn't used to being royalty any more. It had been a long while since I was treated as the daughter of the Lord of the Northern Lands…as the future Lady of the Northern Lands and even being called Lady Star. I was just a normal person in the other world sort of… just a hanyou. "How do you know who I am?" I asked her trying hard not to look at the others faces.

She ignored my question and asked another of her own. "May I call you Star?"

I decided to answer her question first. "Yes you may call me Star if you wish."

She smiled happily and answered my question, "You are future Lady of the Northern and Western Lands am I right?"

"Yes I…WESTERN LANDS???" I yelled in surprise.

"WESTERN LANDS???" Inuyasha yelled also very surprised for a reason not yet known. "I didn't know that tou-sama was really serious about that!" I yelled with total surprise.

"Is Sesshomaru Lord of the Western Lands?" Sango whispered to Miroku.

"Yes…" Miroku replied staring at all the young women.

Zero had decided to speak, "So you really are my older sister and you remember what our old man said all those years ago."

"And you my younger sister. So it's really true?" I replied to her nodding.

"When I had first told him that you had disappeared he did not believe me, but after two months he was convinced that you had really disappeared. All he talked of was you. If he was ever going to find you and if your arranged marriage with the past Lord of the Western Lands eldest son would still be. If not all would be lost."

"ARRANGED MARRIAGE? YOU WITH MEAN SESSHOMARU?" Inuyasha yelled walking to Zero.

"Yes and how do you know of him?" Zero replied.

"HE IS MY HALF BROTHER!!! THAT'S HOW!!!!" Inuyasha yelled to her.

Everyone was speechless as well as surprised. I was most likely the worst of them all, I had just fell to my knees and looked to my friends. I wasn't sure what to do or what to say I looked to the young hanyou in front of me. "And your name is?" I questioned her.

"Kitty Pryde is my name. An honor to meet you." She replied to me with another bow.

I smelt her scent the moment she had named herself. It rang a bell in my mind and made me ask, "Kitty Pryde… daughter of the Lord of the Eastern Lands?"

"Yeah that's me. You have heard of me?"

"Yeah of course I have. I'm future Lady of the Northern Lands right?"

"Yeah that's true."

"Wait a second…you're the next hair to the Northern Lands and you have a arranged marriage with Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked confused.

"Uh…yeaAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" I yelled feeling a hand touching my ass. I was about to hit the guy who touched me when I saw that guy I saw before. I heisted for a moment before I hit him. Then Inuyasha hit the guy for me instead. "MIROKU!!!!!" everyone shouted, except my friends. The man named Miroku fell to the ground face first. My friends were totally silent. They knew I usually would have killed the guy if they touched me… if it wasn't Cloud that is. But the only reason I didn't do that is because THIS guy kinda looked familiar. I sat down in front of him picked up his chin for him to look at me. He seem to love it for some reason. I looked deep into his dark violet eyes and thought of who this could be. I stared long and hard before I spoke, "Don't I know you?" All my friends fell forward, mostly likely surprised that was the reason I didn't kick his ass. Zero walked over and kneeled beside me. "Hmm…he looks familiar to me too." I looked him over and remembered something. "Did you live on a mountain when you were young?"

"Yes… I did live on a mountain when I was young."

I looked to Zero and asked, "Do you remember him?"

She shook her head, "No…I don't."

I sighed, "My god Zero! You have a short memory! Okay…remember that time when we ran off when you were 5 years old? We ran to the mountains and trained for awhile. Then in the middle of a fight a boy walked between us…"

Miroku got up, "That was you…and you?" he asked pointing at each one of us.

"It sure was!" I yelled.

Zero thought for a moment, "Oh yeah! I remember you! You said one day when your older you would marry Star! Your lucky Star stopped me from killing you Miroku…you got me pissed moving on me like that."

"Oh yeah! You did say that Miroku." I sighed and looked to Zero, "You and your temper Zero…" Cloud slowly walked over to me as I stood up and his arm around my waist. "Touch her again and you'll regret it." Cloud said to Miroku.

"Uhhh…yeah." Miroku replied sweat dropping.

I took a quick peek to see how everyone else was doing…everyone had a face of shock and surprise except for Kitty; who was frowning. Did she like Cloud? I would have to find out myself. "But neither of you can have her anyway. When the old man finds out that you're back Star… he's either gonna come look for you himself or send someone to come find you. So you can get married to Sesshomaru." Zero smirked.

"Don't rub it in Zero. I know what tou-sama is going to do and I'm going to let him, because I wasn't here long enough to argue with him." I sighed.

"STAR!?" my friends yelled. (A/N: Okay it's a good time to change the song to Workin' it out by Hilary Duff.) Before anyone else said anything I ran off. I heard everyone follow me but the closest one to me was Zero…She eventually caught up to me and knock me down to the ground. "I'm not letting you leave me again! Not this time! You'll have to go through me first before you leave!" Zero yelled trying very hard to keep me pinned to the ground but failed. I quickly got out of her grip and readied myself for battle. "Fine I will! But I warn you I may still be stronger than you!" I yelled jumping to fight her. "I bet you're not!" She yelled back jumping to me dropping her sword. Everyone got there just in time to see the beginning of the fight between the two daughters of the Northern Lands…

(A/N: I could be really evil and cut it off right here and this would be the shortest chapter I have wrote but I'm too nice to do that so I'll continue…)

Zero made the first move and aimed her fist to my stomach. I dodged it easily, jumping away from her and yelled, "Heh! Is that your best-shot sis? Your going to need more then that to even hit me!"

"Don't worry sis that's not all I got! I'm just warming up!"

"Is that so? Then show me what you have learned the past 10 years without me!"

"Don't worry Star I will!" Zero yelled charging towards me with her fist ready.

"Feh." I sighed folding my arms waiting for the hit. When Zero was mere inches away from hitting me, I jumped up front flipping in the process. That caused her to miss me, I then landed on the ground and quickly kicked her in the lower back making her fly forwards towards the others. Everyone just stared and parted watching Zero fly into a tree from the impact. "Your still too slow Zero!" I yelled turning around with my hand holding a peace sign with my thumb out then starting to walk back towards the well we came through. "I'll see you all later!" I added folding my arms relaxing a bit.

"STAR!!!" I heard Zero yell. I turned around to see my sister fully standing a few feet from the tree. "I'm not done with you yet!" (A/N: Go ahead and listen to Run around again.) "Come on! Try to catch me first Zero!" I yelled running towards the well again.

"I'm not going to let you leave Star!" Zero yelled back running after me.

Everyone else quickly followed us. I jumped on to a tree limb and ran on those, Zero did the same. I suddenly had a quick flashback of this area when Zero and me were younger…the day I disappeared into the well.

Flashback- the forgotten piece

We were running in this forest training…running just like this. I had decided to jump on a tree limb and run on them, Zero did the same. We jumped above the trees and exchanged blows then jumped back down on the tree limbs. We continued the pattern for awhile until we decided to play.

End of Flashback

I had quickly come back to reality and I tripped on a tree limb and fell. I quickly recovered making it look like I had did it on purpose landing gracefully on the ground. "Forget the child play Zero! It's time to fight for real!" I yelled fully standing. 'I hope you forgive me for this Zero but I promise that I'll be here for you from now on.' I heard her behind me then jump out from behind me and readied herself to hit me. She didn't know that I knew that she was behind me. Before she hit me I had hit her in the stomach hard enough to knock her out. "Star…" she whispered before she fainted.

"Sorry Zero…Please forgive me." I said catching her before she fell to the ground.

"STAR!!!!" Everyone yelled to me when they caught eye of me. I had transformed to my human form and held Zero in my arms. (A/N: Many songs in this chapter already but listen to Papercut by Likin Park.) "Star…I will kill you and your family!" Naraku yelled to me in my mind. "No you won't basterd! I won't let you!" I yelled back to him.

"I will hurt you though…"

"What do you mean?" I asked him smelling a scent of a demon behind me.

"You will see…"

I had quickly jumped away from Zero so she wouldn't get hurt from the demon that was behind us. "Come out and face me demon!" I yelled into the forest.

"Good. You have noticed me." A female demon that looked human said walking out of the shadows. "Let me introduce myself before you die. I am Kagura the Wind Sorceress. I was sent by Naraku to kill you Star." She said taking a fan out and blowing the wind made by the fan at me. The wind turned out to be wind blades hitting me blow after blow. "STAR!!!!" Everyone yelled, sounding like a broken record, finally getting to where I was and seeing my condition. She made many large slashes on my body with her blades of wind, causing me to lose a great amount of blood. "Take care of Zero for me…" I managed to say to everyone before I fainted from the loss of blood.

3rd person…

"Kagura!!!" Inuyasha yelled to her.

"Don't worry Inuyasha I'm not here to kill you. I was here to kill her…" She said pointing to Star laying on the ground with a puddle of blood around her. "I really have no idea why he wanted me to kill a human though…Well Inuyasha you are lucky today. Naraku has decided to spare you." Kagura yelled to Inuyasha taking departure.

"KAGURA!!!" Kagome yelled quickly taking her bow and arrow out, aiming at her, then quickly shooting the arrow. Kagura had only escaped Kagome's arrow by mere inches.

"I missed!" Kagome yelled.

"We should treat Star's wounds as fast we can before she loses any more blood." Cynthia said running toward Star's still form.

"What about Zero?" Kitty asked kneeing beside her best friend, picking up her sword, and putting back in it's scabbard on Zero's side.

"I'll take her." Inuyasha volunteered walking over to the young hanyou.

"I'll take care of Star but we have to hurry somewhere." Cloud suggested.

"Let's head over to Kaede's hut so Star can get her wounds treated." Miroku said mounting Kirara's back after Sango.

"Yes let's hurry to Kaede's hut." Sango said after Miroku was settling it.

"We're gonna have to get there fast! Star's losing more blood by the minute!" Cloud yelled to everyone picking up Star.

(A/N Kitty: Is it just me, or is everyone yelling their words. I mean, it's like and opera!............*Kitty's trains of thought have left the station*)

"Miroku get off." Sango said turning to him.

"Why do I have to get off?" Miroku questioned Sango.

"So we can Star to Kaede's hut faster!" Sango answered him kicking him off Kirara. "Cloud hurry up and climb on with Star!" she yelled signaling for Cloud to mount Kirara. "No I think Kagome should go instead of Cloud." Inuyasha explained. Kagome looked to Inuyasha and agreed, "It would be much faster if I would go instead of Cloud. I could help Kaede with her wounds by the time you get there." Cloud sighed in frustration and said, "Okay…" He then waited for Kagome to mount Kirara then hand Star to them. "Kirara hurry to the village!" Sango commanded the cat demon. Kirara obeyed her master and leapt from the ground into the sky with great speed. Cloud had followed them as soon as they left the ground, keeping Star in eyesight. Miroku had quickly gone by foot following Sango. "Wait for me!" a young fox demon, shouted after Miroku quickly running after him. Everyone who was left looked to Inuyasha for instructions. "What do we do now?" Kitty asked no one in particular.

"Go!" Inuyasha yelled waiting for everyone to follow Sango and Kagome. Everyone followed the instructions and quickly ran following the people who left on the cat demon and who had followed by foot. After everyone had left, Inuyasha ran after the whole lot of them trying to push the young hanyou Zero further up his back so that she wouldn't fall.

Meanwhile…

A young male wolf youkai was sitting in a den surrounded by other wolves. "Kagura…" he hissed in frustration. "I Koga leader of the wolf clan will take revenge against Kagura for the death of our comrades!" He yelled standing up holding his fist in the air. His comrades agreed with him with loud howls. He hesitated for a moment and sniffed the air for a curtain scents. "What's wrong Koga?" one of his wolf comrades asked. "I'll be back… Tell Shadow that I went to check something out." Koga replied to his comrades. "Yes Koga." One of his comrades replied. He smelt a few scents that were very familiar to him and began to run off to the direction they were coming from, but then hesitated when he smelt a few unfamiliar scents mixed with a thick scent of blood. Then he quickened his speed to his destination. "What did that dog turd let happen this time?"
Koga asked himself. "Kagome better not be hurt. I better hurry and see what he did this time…" He said sniffing the air again. "Almost there Kagome." After a few minutes Koga smelt a certain hanyou in the area and went after the scent. "Is that you dog turd?" Koga questioned a form standing in the middle of the forest carrying an other form on it's back. "Who else would it be you scrawny little wolf?" the form questioned back.

"So it is you dog breath. Hey! You grew another head!" Koga noticed getting a better look, pointed to the other head on his shoulder. "You flea bitten wolf! I didn't grow another head!" Inuyasha yelled turning to his side. "I'm carrying someone!"

"Oh! That explains everything…" Koga sighed turn his head way from him then looking back to Inuyasha and asked, "Where is my woman?"

Those words enraged Inuyasha. "Your woman…She'll NEVER BE YOUR WOMAN!" Inuyasha yelled running towards Koga not even minding the hanyou girl on his back, he readied his claws for an attack. Koga quickly dodged Inuyasha by stepping to the side and then watching him run past him. Inuyasha came to an absolute halt then quickly turned around and ran toward Koga again yelling, "Stop being a coward and fight me!"

Koga paid no to Inuyasha and just waited for his hit. When Inuyasha was mere inches from hitting Koga; he quickly dodged it moving slightly to the side and punched Inuyasha in the side making him fly to the ground. 'Damn! I can't fight this scrawny wolf with her on my back. I have to find a place to lay her until this fight is done.' Inuyasha tried to look for a place where he could lay this young girl but Koga didn't give him a chance to look for long. He ran to him and threw punches one after another making Inuyasha quickly dodge them. "You damn wolf!" Inuyasha yelled in frustration.

"Am I to much for ya dog turd?" Koga laughed deciding to kick Inuyasha.

"No! This wench just makes things a little bit harder flea bag!" Inuyasha responded.

'Damn it! I should just lay her somewhere and lead the battle away from her. Yeah that's what I'll do!' Inuyasha ran to a tree, quickly but careful dropped the hanyou on his back, and ran in another direction. "Now I have nothing to weigh me down from this fight Koga!" Inuyasha yelled reading his claws for battle.

"Give it your best shot dog!" Koga yelled back. The real fight was just beginning between the two k-9 demons and they both exchanged powerful blows against each other. However, the young hanyou girl Zero was slowly starting to wake and hardly was hearing the fight that was ranging before. Finally she was waking and was beginning to stand then noticed the fight before her. At first, she wasn't sure who these male demons were, how she got there, or why she was there. Then slowly she started to remember the events that happened earlier that day fully stood and yelled, "WHERE IS MY SISTER?"

The other two male k-9 demons didn't pay her any attention and kept fighting. Zero wasn't in the mood to be ignored or to put up with being ignored. She ran over the two male demons stop a few away and recognized one of the demons. He had long silver hair like her sister Star and small dog-ears perched on top of his head like her too, but she knew that wasn't her sister. He was wearing a robe made of fur from a fire rat, a scabbard with a sword held inside, prayer beads necklace around his neck, bear foot, and she had caught a glimpse of his golden eyes. She didn't recognize the other youkai do to that she could hardly see him and decide to attack him and then ask the other about her sister. She continued running then quickly joined the fight by kicking the demon out of her way. He was quite shocked by her appearance and a bit taken back her.

"WHERE IS MY SISTER?" Zero yelled to Inuyasha's face. Inuyasha didn't get a chance to her. Interrupted by Koga, "Hey this is between him and me wench!"

"SHUT UP!" Zero yelled back to him not even looking his way.

"WHERE IS SHE?" she yelled again to Inuyasha.

"Uhhh…everyone else we were with took her to get her wound treated." Inuyasha replied to her.

"What… her wounds treated…what wounds?" Zero asked calming down to the information.

"After she knocked you out a youkai attacked her… she protected you and got badly wounded in the process."

Zero dropped to her knees and stared at the ground. 'She protected me…after all this time she's been gone…she still cares for me…risked her life for me. I need to find her.' Zero slowly stood then looked to Inuyasha and spoke, "Take me to her..."

"No we're finishing this dog turd!" Koga yelled from the sidelines. Zero finally looked to him and felt her heart flutter. He was handsome…with dazzling blue eyes, pointed ears, long jet-black hair pulled back into high ponytail, and a brown headband. Most of his clothing was brown fur. He had brown fur shoulder pads and wrist bands (his right wrist length and his left elbow length). He's top was black armor, and his bottom was made of brown fur with a tail coming out of it, and a sword at his side. Then brown fur at his legs knee to ankle length. Zero quickly came out of the small trance she was in and came back to reality. Koga on the other hand, took a better look at her, then she did him. Koga was quite taken back by her beauty, and he lightly blushed. (A/N: Love at first sight eh viewers?) Koga had gone into a trance over this wonderful… beautiful young hanyou girl. Inuyasha wonder what the hell was wrong with him for not saying anything by now and decided to leave towards the village.

"I'll finish you later flea bag! Come on wench! Your sister is losing more blood by the minute…You can smell it can't you?" Inuyasha said walking away from the traced Koga.

Zero took a quick sniff of the air and caught the scent of Star's blood. She lowly growled then nodded and said, "Yeah…" Her blood boiled, and that gave her energy to burst into a run towards Star's scent of blood.

"Hey! Don't go running off on me!" Inuyasha yelled running after Zero.

I woke up and lightly moaned feeling a great amount of pain. I began getting my scents back and tried to sit up but felt a pair of warm strong arms lifted me up on their lap. I felt my head on someone's shoulder and opened my eyes to see Cloud's bright worried eyes staring at me. I gave him a light smile then brought my hand to his face and whispered, "Morning…"

Cloud gave a sigh of relief, smirked, then brought me closer to him, and whispered back, "Morning…"

"HEY EVERYBODY!" I heard Cory's voice yell. Then I heard Cory walk over to Cloud and me, then chirp, "Good morning!"

Cloud sighed and mumbled under his breath, "Well it was a good morning…"

I lightly giggled and elbowed Cloud in the stomach.

"Huh?" Cory questioned with a confused face.

"Nothing Cory…" Cloud said with a smirk.

"HEY EVERYBODY STAR'S AWAKE!" Cory yelled.

I sat up a bit, twitched my ears, tilted my head to the side, and stared at Cory blankly. "Who's Star?" I questioned after a moment of silence.

"Star?" Cory asked staring at me with surprised look.

"Yeah…who is she?" I questioned again.

Cory began to panic to the words he was hearing, ran outside and started crazily shouting, "STAR HAS AMNESIA!!!!!"

I looked up to Cloud and he seemed taken back by this, clue being because he had a weird look on his face. I don't know if it was a look of surprise, shock, or what the heck. I giggled at him and Cory, Cory for the overreacting and Cloud for the face.

"What's wrong didn't like my joke?" I asked trying not to laugh.

"What joke?" Cloud asked with now a confused look.

"Making Cory think that I have amnesia." I simply replied.

Cloud closed his eyes and smirked, "Yeah good one…"

My friends along with Kagome, her friends came, and a wolf demon guy I really didn't know ran in the small hut I was held in with worried faces. I did the same thing I did to Cory, I twitched my ears and stared blankly at everyone. "Who are you all?"

"Maybe you should all leave…" Cloud suggested.

Cynthia sighed and asked, "What are you gonna do?"

"See if she will remember anything." He simply replied.

Everyone nodded and slowly each one left the hut, leaving Cloud and me alone together to "talk". I leaned towards Cloud, looked up at him, and twitched my ears. "What did you make them leave for?" I asked questioning him.

Cloud had a smile drenched with evil. He then tickled me in my side and made me laugh.

"Stop that! I'm ticklish there!" I laughed trying to squirm away from him.

Cloud stopped for a moment and whispered, "Tell them…"

"Tell them what?" I asked him laying on the floor, and tilting my head to the side again.

Cloud again tickled me and made me laugh to a point when it was hard to breathe.

"Okay…okay…okay…I'll tell them…" I managed to say between laughs.

Cloud finally stopped with a smirk of victory and softly spoke, "Can you stand?"

I wasn't really sure myself if I could stand up but I tried. I slowly but surely began to stand up. To my surprise, I had no problem standing. "I wonder…" I said having a huge brainstorm.

"What?" Cloud asked hearing my famous 'I wonder…'.

"I had no problem standing up…How long have I been out?" I asked Cloud seeing if my guess was right.

"You were just out for the night Star." He replied standing up himself.

"Really?" I replied caught off guard.

"Yeah what did you think?" Cloud asked with a questioning look.

"I thought that I have been out for awhile because I feel perfectly fine…No pain…" I paused for a moment lifting up my shirt a tad looking at a place where I was cut. "And no scar…"

"Really?" Cloud asked walking over to me examining my side.

I pulled my shirt back down and took Cloud's hand pulling him towards the entrance of the hut, "Yeah…I think being a hanyou has advantages that I didn't know about."

"Quick healing?" he asked me before we stepped out of the hut.

"Yup…" I replied walking out of the hut pulling him with me. I was the center of the attention, everyone was staring at me blankly. I walked over to Cory and quickly messed his hair up trying to act as normal as possible not having to apologize for my joke.

"Hey! Hey! Stop ruining the hair Star." Cory said in protest.

"Sorry Cory, I haven't messed your hair up in a few days so it was needed."

"It's…" Cory said pausing must of realizing that I had said his name. "Okay…" he finishing fixing his hair.

"Have you forgotten how to take a joke already Pinkly?" I asked with a smirk on my face. "You should know by that I would be fine. I mean look at me not a scratch…" I had said lifting my shirt a tad.

"Star…" Zero had said coming out of the shadows.

"Yeah?" I replied turning to her.

"Um…thanks…" she finally said with her head down from a moment of silence.

I couldn't help but smile. "What are sisters for?"

Zero lifted her head and smiled back at me. "Each other."
