Anika

Chapter 16

The village of Edo was in the opposite direction as the castle and that was where Sesshomaru was trained to go to in case of danger. As night fell Anika fell asleep on her brother's back as he continued to fly late into the night. It was well past midnight when Sesshomaru finally arrived at the village. Holding his sister in his arms Sesshomaru was careful not to wake her upon his landing. Midoriko was already waiting for Sesshomaru when he landed.

"State your purpose Prince Sesshomaru." Midoriko had her hand on her bow just in case of any ill intent.

"I wish to seek refuge in this village for my sister and I until my father can come to get us." Sesshomaru revealed his sleeping sister in his arms.

"Very well then Prince Sesshomaru you may have a safe refuge here as long as you or your sister don't harass any of the villagers." Midoriko stated in a stern voice. Sesshomaru bowed his head as he gave his word to behave.

"Since we are currently out of space you and your sister are welcomed to stay in my hut unless you prefer the woods." Midoriko led Sesshomaru to her hut. Sesshomaru stepped into the hut and saw that it would do for now. Bowing his head at Midoriko once more Sesshomaru thanked her for her hospitality and headed inside the hut to lay on an empty cot still holding his sister close to him. In the morning Sesshomaru found that Midoriko had business to attend to in a neighboring village so the hut was empty. Anika explored the entire hut sniffing everything in sight. Sesshomaru wondered what he should do about breakfast. Anika was hungry seeing as she didn't have lunch or dinner yesterday because they had to leave in such a hurry and she now pestered Sesshomaru for food.

"Stay here I will be right back." Sesshomaru sternly told his sister before he left the hut to go hunting for the two of them. Anika patiently waited on the cot while she waited for her brother to come back but instead she felt her brother's beckoning youkai inviting her to join him in the surrounding woods. Sesshomaru had hunted two plump rabbits and gave one to his sister as he began to eat his own. Anika sniffed at her rabbit curiously before she began to gnaw on one of the rabbits limp legs. Anika soon found that she couldn't stop eating and that she was contently purring with each bite that she took. The meat was very tender and very fresh. Sesshomaru had finished his rabbit before his sister so he licked his hands clean until he could go to the nearby river to wash them off. Once Anika finished her rabbit Sesshomaru led her to the nearby river where they both washed their hands clean. Once at the river Anika became very playful and leaped fully clothed into the water not caring about anything. Sesshomaru smiled at his sister as she splashed around in the water. Sesshomaru didn't know how long he would be staying at this village but found that days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. Anika and Sesshomaru adapted to life in the village very well and when it came time that their father came to get them they found it a little hard to say goodbye to the villagers who had been so kind to them for the past year but both pups also wanted to go home. Touga gave each of his pups a big hug as soon as he saw them at the village. Anika had gotten bigger and her wing span also doubled in size and her youkai had finally developed. Touga found Anika's youkai to be very strong and very different from his or Sesshomaru's youkai. Touga was very glad to see that both of his pups were fine and that Anika still remembered him. Touga also noticed how close his two pups had grown over the past year and how they were practically inseparable; following each other everywhere. Watching Anika take off into the sky was a gorgeous sight to see. Unlike when she was younger Anika's take off's were smooth and each stroke of her wings were precise and confident.

"She has come far father." Sesshomaru was watching Anika's takeoff with his father at his side.

"She certainly has pup." Touga ruffled his son's hair before transforming into his demon form and taking to the sky. Sesshomaru snarled playfully before transforming and chasing after chasing after the rest of his pack. Touga wanted to see Anika's true demon form and snarled playfully at her as he raised his youkai levels. Anika's eyes flashed blue indicating that she was about to transform. Touga was surprised at the Anika's size in her demon form. She was only a little bit smaller than Sesshomaru who was fifty years old and a good size. Anika's golden fur rippled in the wind as her massive wings slice the air. Anika's tail however was covered in golden scales and she sported venomous spikes at the tip of her long tail. Her venomous spurs on her wings were still there glistening with the venom that coated them making them look like shiny black claws. Anika's suddenly venomous scent told every demon within range that she was not to be trifled with. Touga was proud of both of his pups.
