I'm sooooooo happpy! I got four reviews! WOO HOOO! Yes, I know, I said five, but I'm too happy. Oh here is the answer to the question I got asked, (I'm sooo excited, this the first time I get to do this. )

zzzdragonzzz: As you can see, I fixed the format.(Finally figured out howthis works.) And I did think about how Kirika should be dressed. In fact I gave it a alot of thought. Now here's the deal, I did originally give her a formal kimmno, butin the end I decideddifferently. As the story goes on you will learn a lot about Kirika's life, and howhard it was for her to survive. Basically, she had to use what she could find. With the exception of her hakama and sword, everything she wears was found and/or stolen.

Well I hope that answers your question well. now, on with the story!

A Youkai's Scorn

The trees shivered, and bent in attempt to escape from the person walking down the narrow twist and turns of the forest. To escape from the aura of pure hatred. Amashite's silver hair seemed to gleam in the moonlight. The amber of her eyes was barely noticeable through the narrowed slits of her eyes.

'Seventeen years,' Amashite thought with a sneer. 'And still I am no closer to destroying her. Nibori's and that. . . that vile neko youkai's, pup.'

Amashite clenched her fist at the thought of the pup that had been created from such a blasphemies union. A union of a neko and inu youkai.

"To bring forth such a beast," Amashite smiled, an action suddenly made frightening.

"And to then be so foolish as to think that it would be allowed to live, is truly unforgivable."

Amashite stopped and looked up at the full moon.

"Nibori, you were truly a fool. Every thing you did in this life is proof of this. First, by falling in love with Tsuya. Then, by taking her as mate. Then, you both were foolish enough to have not one, but two pups. But perhaps, your greatest act of foolishness, was denying me!" Amashite laughed, a hollow noise.

"I shall have my revenge Nibori, and it shall be against your whole family." Amashite began to walk once more, smiling at her own evil thoughts.

"Do you wish for revenge that badly Amashite?" Amashite spun around at the sound of the sinister voice.

"Who's there? Show yourself!"

"With pleasure." Naraku stepped out from the dense forest, his poison insects flying above him. Amashite's hand flew to the hilt of her sword. Ready to unsheathe it within a moments notice.

"Be at easy, if I wanted to kill you Amashite, I would have done so already." Amashite relaxed slightly, but did not release her hold on her sword.

"Who are you?" She demanded, narrowing her eyes more.

"I am one who can grant your greatest desire. Revenge." Amashite cast Naraku a shrewd look before speaking again.

"How can you help me?" Naraku chuckled, knowing that Amashite had become intrigued, and that was all he needed.

"How indeed?" He teased. "I have a special interest in the one she is with."

Amashite snarled.

"She is with someone!" Amashite fumed, enraged at the mere possibility of Nibori's child having found an form of peace. Naraku nodded.

"Yes, she is. If you kill the man she is with, I will help you gain your revenge." Amashite snarled again, her eyes flickering red for a moment as her rage grew at the word man.

"Why should I do as you say?" Amashite spat, her rage barely contained.

"Because," Naraku said calmly. "I have the power to help you, and I am the only one who knows how both of them can be found."

Amashite thought for a moment, weighing her options. On one hand, she despised the idea of taking orders, but on the other hand, she had to know where to find Nibori's daughter, even if it meant obeying this man.

"I will do as you say," Naraku nodded a smile forming on his lips.

"Excellent, I shall contact you latter with their location. Until then Amashite, farewell."

"Wait," Amashite said, stopping Naraku from leaving. " I should know the name of the person I am working with."

"Of course, my name is Naraku." Amashite nodded, then turned and walked away. Naraku smiled at her retreating form.

'Sesshoumaru, she shall be the end of you.'
