I can't Let you

~*~*~* Jinenji's house ~*~*

Shippo paced the room the sun was going down outside sending rosy hues spilling into room they swam across the floor at a slanted angle. Going to the window he wished he was just a little taller as of right now he was too short to see out. They had put him in here like a child, and who was he kidding he was a child. Putting the heels of his hands against his eyes he did his best to push back the tears that were threating to spill.

He had spent too much of his time crying lately the reason for this came flooding back to his mind and he was monetarily lost to his grief tears cascading down his cheeks as he flung himself on the bed burring his face in the freshly changed linens. Balling the material into his hands he thought of the episode that had taken place earlier in the day.

His servant, Kongyou that was the name everyone else had called her. She was to blame for his earlier display of emotion. She was a nice girl he knew, for a moment she had reminded him of his mother, and the hurt had just been too much. He had felt bad for taking pleasure in something so simple that he used to do with his mom. It had been like he had been betraying her memory. It hadn't been two days and here he was laughing what right did he have to laugh? What right did he have to take comfort in the pleasantries of an ordinary day? Hugging his sides he looked around sometime in his thoughts the sun had slipped down past the horizon leaving the room in shadows. There were hushed voices in the other room, rising to his feet he could hear that they were talking about Yasha and Kongyou. Bowing his head so his bangs covered his eyes he returned to the bed.

Mamoru didn't fully understand what was going on here. This was not what he had expected when he had decided he was going to join the Shinkushikyu. He didn't know exactly what it was he had expected but this certainly wasn't it. He hadn't expected to be lead to a small cottage with an old woman and a hanyou. Right now he sat there listening to the other members of his party converse. Their tone was hushed and urgent. The topic was the young girl he had met earlier in the day. Kongyou he could picture the girl in his mind when he had first met her she had been laying on the futon in the other room looking all pale and wan like the health had been sucked out of her but the next time he had seen her he didn't really know how to describe she had been all bright and shiny like there was this aura around her that had invited him in, had made him want to protect her. When he had looked around at the other members of the group he could see that she also had this effect on them.

"Do you think that it was wise for him to go alone?" Sango asked leaning closer to Miroku so her voice wouldn't carry as far. She knew Hojo and Mamoru were hanging on their every word.

"That's the way he likes it's the way he's always liked it. It's probably driving him insane that we're all here underfoot all the time. Yasha knows how to take care of himself."

Sango sat there as Mirokus words fully sunk in. He was right she knew Yasha liked to work alone. He always had and she knew why. Yasha took risks. He was out there taking them right now. Briefly she thought of Kongyou no wait she thought of Kagome. The girl got into trouble she created problems. Sango knew she didn't do it on purpose… but suddenly she had a thought that had never occurred to her before. What if she did do it on purpose? It had been all too easy to forget who the girl was but that didn't change things she was Kagome Higurashi. Higurashi she knew how cunning the girl's father had been, no more than that her father had been a traitor.

He had turned against his own kind all for power. He had been a terrible man, but his daughter. It was hard to believe she was his daughter with her brown eyes that were so warm and bright. Her smile reached her eyes and there was a gentleness about her that put you at ease yet she was stubborn enough to stand up to even Yasha.

Yasha, Kagome had a strange effect on him. She had noticed it more and more. When she had first come upon them in toll she had seen that they were locked in an embrace she remembered stopping there in the streets ducking behind a nearby building and just watching them for a few seconds. The scene of that day was burned etched into her memory. She could still feel the course wood under her hands as she had leaned there. She had seen Kagome fling herself at Yasha her arms wrapping around in a way that she herself would have never dared. With her breath drawn in she had waited for Yasha to step back or if not that to stand there awkwardly but that had not been the case instead she had watched as his arms had gone up around her pulling her body closer to his. They stayed like that for a few seconds before his hand move gently tipping up her face to his. It was a gentleness that she had never seen in his actions before. He handled her like she was something fragile like she might break at any moment like something that was precious.

She knew that she had been in denial as she had approached she had kept telling herself over and over again that she had been mistaken that there was no way this could be them. That Yasha would never behave in such a way, but as she approached she saw the man hesitate no one but Yasha would have noticed her approach so quickly no one but Yasha and true to form she had watched as Yasha swept Kagome behind him putting his body between her and what for all he knew could have been approaching danger. Once again that had hurt if it had been her in Kagome's place she knew that Yasha would have expected her to hold her own. It was foolishness to think that of Kagome though she knew Kagome was the kind of girl who needed to be protected. In that instant Sango was jealous she wanted that, not that she wanted to be helpless but she wanted someone to protect her. She knew she was strong but in that knowledge was also the terrible thought that she was weak. That she wanted someone to take care of her someone to lean on when she was sad someone to tell her everything was going to be alright even if she knew it was a lie.

Sango looked down at her hands shutting out the sounds of the world. Yasha always rushed into things head first he never thought about himself, it was almost like he didn't care if he lived or died. He always took risks and he always worked alone. Miroku had been right alone that was the way Yasha liked doing things, and right now he probably felt so strangled because there was so many people. Her thoughts again turned to Kagome and the hold that she seemed to have over her friend. It wasn't her fault that she attracted trouble then again a thought that had never occurred to her before stood out in her mind. What if Kagome knew exactly what she was doing? What if Kagome was playing them all for the fool?

What was going on in that girl's head? Miroku watched as Sango's brown eyes misted over not like she was about to cry but rather like she was remembering something painful. He wanted to reach out to her but got the feeling at the moment it wouldn't be the wisest thing to do though he wanted nothing more than to reach out to her.

_________-

Kagome pulled Yasha's limp body closer to her, pressing her face into the crook of his neck his dark hair brushing against her cheek. 'What was going on here? There were so many questions going threw her mind at the moment what she could hardly take it in the foremost one what had happened to Yasha? What had happened to the silver haired hanyou that she…. Her thoughts trailing off she closed her eyes taking a deep breath her senses were invaded by the stench of blood but mixed with that was the smell of rain pulling his body closer to her she couldn't help but notice that even his smell had changed slightly.

No longer did it hold the wild note that she had considered purely Yasha but rather it was gentler somehow. Pulling away she looked down at the man. As she had noticed before there was still the stubborn set to his jaw and the same masculine features that she had etched into her memory that was where the similarities ended. No longer was his hair the long cascade of silvery white nor did he have the little triangles of ears atop his head bringing her hands up to the side of his face she took a liberty that she would have never dared to had the man had been awake. Letting her hand trail up the side of his face she found what she was looking for the soft fleshiness of his earlobes.

Mentally she wondered if Yasha would let her play with his ears not these of course but the cute little triangles of fur that normally sat atop his head. Pulling back once more she looked down at this stranger who had stolen Yasha's face. Suddenly she wanted to shake him awake to see his amber golden eyes turned on her but she didn't dare. She didn't know what was going on but she somehow knew that it was important that people didn't know what had happened here tonight at least not the full story because if everything added up she could only think of one explanation for the reason Yasha that was laying here, he was human. Human she didn't know how it was possible suddenly she felt a great loss. Though as she thought about it had not this man come to her rescue had he not fought to get her back?

Even now she could hear his voice echoing off the walls, stay away from her. Despite everything that was going on he was still the same he was still her Yasha. Wiping away her tears Kagome looked around the dimly lit cave the only light was from the glowing embers of the fire. She wanted nothing more than to curl up into a ball next to Yasha and cry but something was nagging at the back of her mind something that would not let her rest. Her eyes landed on the big hulk of a man laying on the ground slippery blood that shone black in the dim light spread out from the body. Taking in the ghastly sight she thought again to the conversation that she had had with Yasha the previous day. Had it only been the previous day? It felt like it had been years from that walk back to Jinenjis house. It was true she was a naive little girl. 'and those are just the things that I've done' This is what he did. She had always known that Yasha was capable of this. Had always known that it was kill or be killed in this world. She had even once wondered what it would be like to see Yasha in a fight. Though she had known, she didn't think that she had fully grasped the concept of it all till this very moment. Swinging her eyes away from the dead body she brought her gaze to once again rest on the man in her arms.

If she didn't know better she could almost pretend he was sleeping but she did know better. She thought again of how she had been so desperate to know what had gone on in Obin and so mad at Yasha for him not wanting to tell her. Now she had nothing but appreciation that he hadn't told her that he had shielded her from the world. Tears slipping down her cheeks she reached up to wipe them away but there was always a new one to take its place.

Kagura stood in the shadows outside the cave her keen red eyes taking in the scene in front of her. She hadn't known exactly what it was she had expected to find but it surely wasn't this. It was that of a crying woman and an unconscious man. Still it was the sound of her cries that softened her heart she hated the sound of loss it brought back memories that she thought best left buried. Looking behind them she could see the form of a large hulk of a man who was laying in a pool of his own blood so that was what had happened here. Stepping into the overhang of the cave she just stood there looking at the young woman. She couldn't see her face as it was buried in the mans neck.

Almost as if the girl knew that she was standing there she looked up. Kagura watched as a range of emotions passed quickly behind those deep brown eyes. Finally they hardened in defiance and she watched as the girl foolishly reached for the sword that had been laying on the ground next to them. She watched as the girls tenderly moved around the man her hands gripping the sword so tight that her knuckles were white.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you little girl."

The words were cold and menacing and meant only one thing to Kagome Danger. Steeling her resolve she knew that she would do whatever it took to protect Yasha.

"Well it's obvious that you're not me."

Kagura hadn't expected the girl to have such bravado she could almost admire the girl for her stupidity. But she knew, it wasn't just pure stupidity the girl had no other choice it was fight or die.

Kagome looked at the woman standing in front of her. Everything about her said she was a Youki from the delicate point of her ears to the bloody redness of her eyes. Even the way the woman held her body perfectly still, danger the woman was dangerous.

She should be afraid, well more afraid then she was but it was like something was waking up inside her she had felt it earlier the part of her that refused to be defenseless, the part of her that was not satisfied to be helpless. Locking eyes with the woman in front of her she steeled herself for whatever had to be done.

Kagura knew that with a flick of her wrist she could send this girl flying right into the wall. She would have if not for the girl's eyes, they were deep and determined a rich warm brown that shone with an inner fire. Then the girl shifted quickly bringing the sword up into a different position there was a slight disturbance in the air and then she felt it. The soft sing of power, it clung to the girl like a fine silk it felt old and wild. How could it be? Power this girl was a human, yet she could still feel it in the air around her the a remnant of power it didn't hold the electric feel of newly used power but rather it was stagnant hanging around the girl in thin cloud almost. The girl didn't appear dangerous to her she didn't look confidant that she was going to win if they fought there was no inner light in her eyes to betray that she had an ace up her sleeve that she thought Kagura didn't know about. That could mean two things the power was latent or someone else had used the power on the girl. If the power was latent that would mean that this was the person she was looking for.

Her eyes widening she waiting for the girl to move again to disturb the air around her. This girl might be more trouble then she thought, still Kagura had always been curious maybe that was a side effect from spending half of her life cooped up in the castle.

"My name is Kagura."

Kagome stared at the woman, her name? That wasn't something a person normally did before a fight was it. Kagura, she knew that name. Searching her memories she focused on the woman's beautiful face. Then it came to her she had heard of Kagura. The wind witch she was Narukus personal lackey. Frowning she locked eyes with the woman and she knew one thing she knew that she was going to die here in this cave.

"We have the girl my brother is with her was we speak."

Koga looked at the man in front of him they had her. Ginta and Hakkaku moved restlessly next to him. This man made him uncomfortable, not so much because he was afraid of him but because he knew that they had Kagome. Hiten and Monten the thunder brothers they did the dirty work of the guard and were always looking to do jobs under the table for some extra cash. The problem was that they didn't always stick to the terms that were set. They did things there own way and right now they had his Kagome.

"And she is unharmed?"

Hiten took in Koga's expression the terse lines that appeared around his mouth, the man was obviously worried about the girl. Worry was an emotion Hiten couldn't grasp his brother could take care of himself and his parents were long gone such emotions were for the weak and Hiten was not weak. Koga wasn't either he knew that the man had a reputation for behind ruthless and getting things done that was why it had been a surprise when he had come to them requesting they do a job for him.

"She was relatively when I left, but we did have to keep her quite and if she tried to get away from my brother then I'm not making any promises. Now I just want the rest of my money and we will bring you the girl."

"The deal was I get the girl you get the rest of your money. Now I'll go with you to get her but you're not getting anything from me till I have her."

"Look that's fine with me just as long as I know that you're not trying to cheat us, because if you are then I'll personally skin the girl alive right in front of you."

Koga wanted to sock the man in the face but knew that wasn't the wisest thing to do especially when Monton still had Kagome somewhere.

"I assure you, if you touch her then you will wish I was skinning you alive."

"Big words from someone who had to hire someone else to do their dirty work for them. Something tells me that that girl is worth more then you're giving us. She would fetch a pretty price out on the market her skins so smooth and her spirits not broken."

Anger flared threw Koga but that was what Hiten wanted, and he wasn't for one about to give it to him.

"You're going to take me to her." He said it calmly with an air of command that not even Hiten tried to ignore.

"I'll take you to her and then you're going to give me what you owe me."

"I'll give you what's coming to you. You can count on that."

_____________-

The girl knew her name. She found that surprising not many people outside the castle knew her name Naruku liked it that way. She was Narukus secret and he liked it that way, she hated him for it. Though hardly anyone on the outside knew of her anyone that frequented the castle knew about her. For years she had been locked in the castle kept away from the outside world. The castle though she had grown up there wasn't her home more like her gilded cage. Who was this girl?

"Who are you?" The question had escaped her lips before she could call it back but she wanted to know the answer none the less. The girl looked taken back by her question raising her hand she let her red and white fan snap open.

"It is important to answer me when I am talking to you little girl." Her words were cold and biting but she meant for them to be that way. She wanted answers and all this insolent little girl was doing was standing there staring at her. Kagura knew that a flick of her wrist could send the girl flying into the wall but if they started fighting now then she would never get any answers.

"Kongyou." The name slid off her tongue easily enough. After all that was what people had been calling her she had even gotten to the point where she would respond automatically to it. Though as soon as the words left her mouth she knew she had made a mistake. The girl looked at her with her crimson eyes narrowing.

It was a lie Kagura knew it. It put her on edge she hated to be lied to. What did the girl have to hide? Maybe she was dangerous, and if she was then she would have to be dealt with accordingly. "It was not wise to lie to me little girl."

"I…I don't want any trouble I just want to take my friend here and leave."

"It looks like there was trouble here long before I arrived. It looks to me like some filthy little humans were up to no good."

"I assure you if there was anyone that was up to no good it was that man right there." Kagome said inclining her head to the side in the direction of Montens body.

Kagura's laughter was like the sound of shattering glass it bounced off the walls of the cave and hit the floor breaking into a thousand pieces at Kagomes feet. "I believe you on that one. It looks like he got more trouble than he was looking for and sadly it seems so did your friend."

"Yeah and we're not looking for more."

"I am. Trouble might have found you; it all depends on what kind of answers you have for me. Now I'm going to ask you one more time what is your name? Be careful how you answer"

Kagome knew somehow the woman would be able to tell if she tried to lie again. Even now as the seconds ticked by she could see the woman's patience with her slipping.

"And what if you don't like the name I give you?"

"It's rarely a name I don't like rather it's the reputation that's attached to it. Have you been a bad little girl? Is that why you're afraid to tell me your name?"

"It depends on whose definition of bad you go by…" Kagome hesitated her eyes going to Yasha who was still dead to the world. If she wanted to stall for anytime at all she had to give this woman her name. "My name is Higurashi Kagome."

"Higurashi I'm afraid I don't much care for the reputation attached to that name. I find it interesting you're out here in the middle of nowhere something tells me, you're not playing house."

"It's not my reputations that's attached to that name."

"No I guess it's not but you can't deny that the name has been blackened."

This was not the conversation she thought she would be having. More importantly Kagura had not reacted the way she had anticipated. Most people from the castle reacted differently when they heard her name. But not her, not Kagura she spoke about the name like it was a vile thing. "I guess that depends on who you ask."

"Your right I guess it would. I would like to know what you think of the name, would you care to enlighten me?"

"It's mine there's no changing that."

"Ah but you have little girl what was again? Kongyou wasn't it? It appears to me like you have changed your name."

"Well the crowd that I'm hanging with these days doesn't really take kindly to that name."

"Are you a spy?" was this girl working for Naraku had he finally found a way to put a kink in the rebellion? If that was the case then she was going to put a kink in Naruku's plans.

"I'm not a spy."

Kagura had expected those words to ring false. She had expected to catch this little girl in her own words to make her pay for it.

"You're not? Tell me then how did you manage to fall into the company that you're keeping?"

"They saved me from…from myself I was just trying to get away. I kept turning down suitors; you see someone with my name can only marry certain people. I make my own choices and I chose to leave. Is that what you wanted to hear is that what you're going to punish me for."

"It seems to me like you're in between a rock and a hard place little girl. You can't go back not if people know what you've been doing but you can't stay sooner or later they are going to find out who you are you know?"

"I know that. But by then they'll just have to judge me by the reputation that I've created for myself."

"You know I like you. You seem like the kind of person that's not going to be pushed by anyone. I wish that I had the freedom to be more like you."

"Um I don't mean to be rude but what's going on? You're not killing me.. Don't get me wrong I am happy with this but still it's not what I thought was going to happen."

"Let's just say I like messing with Narakus plans. Look since you've been honest with me I'll be honest with you. I hate the emperor."

"But, but you."

"I what? Just because he thinks he can control me doesn't mean that he owns me. I just made a deal that can set me free. I don't like making deals with a man like Naraku but he has his ways of keeping a person in line. He sent me to look for someone."

Kagome tightened her grip on the sword in her hand was it possible that she was looking for Yasha? No it wouldn't be Yasha that she was looking for she was looking for the Shinkushikyou,

"I just need to know, has anything weird happened around you."

"Look my entire life has been turned upside down and you want to know if anything weird has happened around me?"

"Yes."

"Let's see, where should I start. I've been chased for breaking curfew, I've had my ankle broken by crazy man that tried to rape me, I'm not trusted by anyone I meet I've been seeing things. I've been kidnapped by two." Stopping mid sentence she looked down at the dead man. "There were two of them that took me."

"I see only one body?"

"I remember the first time I woke up they were talking."

"Well its no matter we will just wait and I will kill the other one when they come back."

"No we have to leave I have to get my friend out of here. Look you don't seem like the person that I thought you were. You actually seam kind of nice."

"Nice? No I just want something from you."

"If you help me I'll give it to you as long as it doesn't endanger any of my friends. You can do what you want to me but I have to make sure that he's safe."

Kagura could have smiled at the girl how hastily she had been willing to offer up whatever she wanted. Though all with the stipulation not to endanger any of her friends, her eyes shifting past the girls she looked once again at the man that was laying unconscious on the ground just behind her.

"First off who is he it would be much easier for you to just leave him."

"Leaving him is not an option. As for who he is" her eyes drifted down to rest on Yasha she was glade that his face was turned away from them. "He's someone who is very important to me."

"Ah I see. We best be on our way then."

"But how he's too heavy for me to carry?"

"I have my ways."

It was the first time that Kagome realized that though Kagura had come from the outside she was perfectly dry. As she watched the woman reached up pulling a feather from her hair and throwing it to the ground. To her amazement she watched the small feather expand into something bigger. Kagura gave her a brief smile before stepping onto it and sitting down.

*~*~*

Kagura watched Kagome the girls fingers nervously toyed with the mans cloak. Who was this man that she had been unwilling to leave. She held him to her like he was something fragile, something precious. She wondered the extent of the man's wounds as he had not moved once all this time. She wanted to see his face but the dark material of his hood kept it in shadow she had no doubt this was Kagome's doing the girl didn't trust her. That was good of course after all Kagura thought to herself she wasn't the type to be trusted. Though for some reason she wanted this girl to trust her.

Kagome couldn't believe they were floating above the trees, and all this without getting wet.

"I can't take you all the way back I would not be to welcome in the crowd you run with. But as I said I have a few questions for you."

When Yasha came to it was to the soft sound of two women talking the first he recognized as Kagome but the other was unfamiliar to him. He wanted to move but knew that he wouldn't be much good the rest of the night. They were moving quickly the rain was still falling he could hear it but oddly enough he couldn't feel it. He was in a slumped position momentarily he wondered just how quickly he could get up if he needed to. For a moment he thought of opening his eyes but thought better of it. He could hear Kagome's heart rhythmic and strong against his ear and knew that he was propped up against her. What kind of situation could she have gotten them into now?

"I will answer it if I can."

If his dull human ears could have perked up they have at that. What was going on here? He knew that if he jumped in right now that he would never find out.

"Now now that's not the answer that I wanted to hear from you. You will tell me what I want to know."

'What she wants to know' What could this woman possibly want to know and why was Kagome even talking to her? Once again he evaluated the situation they were in. They were moving he knew that much and fast if his sense were anything which right now he felt like he was wrapped up in a big fuzzy blanket that was keeping him getting a full grasp of his surroundings. Youki, what had happened after he passed out and why was Kagome on such friendly terms with this woman.

"And I told you that if I thought it put any of my friends in danger.." Kagome looked down at Yasha briefly where he was leaning against her she wondered how he would handle this situation. She knew in the position that he was in right now that he was in danger that Kagura could do as she pleased with him. 'I'll kill her first' she thought though she knew if it came down to a fight most likely she would be the one to die. "one of us would have to die before I let that happen."

Kagura and Yasha heard the hesitation in her voice before she added the last part. There was fear there after all the girl would have to be out of her mind not to be afraid. Still her voice had a ring of finality and suddenly Kagura didn't know how she would fare in a fight with this girl. She may have been confidant in her own abilities but she was unsure of the girls and if Kagome was the person that she was looking for then she could prove to be very dangerous.

"Your friends have nothing to fear from me."

"But they do. If you told the wrong person. How am I to know that this isn't all a trick one big set up? I would risk anything of myself just don't ask more of me, don't make me put them in any danger."

Kagura eyed the girl her bown eyes were trained on her the cheeky little human actually had the gall to look in the eye when she said this.

"That's what you do though isn't it? Every day you're with them you put their lives in danger just by being who you are. You think you can forget that you're the Higurashi's daughter but I have news for you little girl the world won't forget. When you least want it to be that little fact will be thrown back in your face by the very people that you're trying to protect. Correct me if I'm wrong but I also know that the wolf is hunting you. What are you going to do when he tires of his little chase and turns you into the emperor? What are you going to do when your entire little world is laying around you in shambles?"

It felt like a slap in her face. It was true she was nothing but trouble to the rest of her friends if she could call them that. Could you really call someone that you were lying to your friend she thought of Miroku and Hojo. What would their faces look like when they found out her secret? How would they react when they found out that they had all been lying? Not that she was about to let this woman know what kind of blow she had just delt her.

"When it comes to that I'll pick up the pieces and live with the decisions that I've made."

"I want to know where you were a week and half ago."

Where she had been a week and a half ago? What kind of question was that?

*~*~*

Kouga watched the nimble man in front of him make his way through the trees. Looking down he could see no evidence that someone had recently passed by this way. So Hiten was smarter than he gave him credit for. They had been walking a better part of the night and he was growing impatient.

"Are we almost there yet?"

Hiten looked over his shoulder at the man that was following behind him, irritation was written all over his face. That thought made him smile they weren't far from the cave where his brother and the human girl were, secretly he wished that it was further away if only to annoy the man behind him, none the less he was looking forward to getting out of the rain.

Kougas senses went into over drive when he saw Hiten stop in front of him his muscles were tense and he looked ready to spring. Steeling himself he prepared to fight just incase it was him that Hiten was looking to pick a fight with. Without warning Hiten took off in a dead sprint. It was then that he smelled it mixed with the rain it was the faint sent of blood. Though he knew if it was enough to carry in this down pour then it wasn't just a little bit of blood.

Skidding to a stop next to Hiten he saw that he had been right his brother Monten was laying on the floor in a puddle of the sticky red liquid. Three people had been hurt here. One of them obviously Monten but more importantly Kagome he could smell her blood mingled in with the others, it was faint but there. Narrowing his eyes he looked around the dim interior.

Hiten felt his heart constrict in his chest at first he couldn't take it in. His brain just couldn't comprehend the scene that was in front of him. Tears sprang from his eyes and the next thing he knew he was kneeling on the ground his brothers limp large body cradled in his arms.

Kouga started at that man this wasn't good Hiten had his back to him his body shaking.

"The deals off." The cry reverberated around the room as it was illuminated by a flash of lightening, no it was more like the lightening had sprung from Hiten himself a thin bluish light was emanating from him. Clutched tightly in his hand was his brother's staff.

Hiten's mind was a jumble of thoughts but only one of them stood out pounding in a steady rhythm, kill kill kill. He was going to find the person that did this and he was going to make them suffer a slow agonizing death, but not before he dismantled the girl in front of them. "I'm going to kill them both." The words ripped from his mouth in a snarl.

Kouga knew the man wasn't talking to him though the words couldn't be ignored.

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that." His words were cold and calculating and for the first time Hiten turned toward him as if remembering he was there.

Well that's where I'm not much happened this chapter but the next one should be a good on I as you see haven't written for a while so hopefully I can get back in a rhythm
