A/N: Here's the next update, it's slightly longer. Hope you guys enjoy. Read and Review and I'll update when I can.
-Inuyasha-
I blinked in surprise as I watched Leiko fight her little sister. I'd never personally met her, I'd only heard about her from what Leiko had said. I flinched when Leiko barely dodged her sister's attack.
"You already know there's no point in fighting me Rini, you can't beat me!"
Leiko yelled as she jumped over her sister, Rini's head and slashed her back. She cried out in pain before turning and charging at Leiko, knocking both of them to the ground with their swords abandoned. I suddenly caught a whiff of Kouga and looked up to see him stop infront of Kagome. He took her hands and started his usual 'my woman' crap and I rolled my eyes at him. I could see Kagome looking at me to see if I'd get jealous, but I couldn't care less if Kouga wanted to be with Kagome as long as she helped finish gather the shards of the Shikon Jewel. I'd lost my affection for both her and Kikyo long ago. Now my affection is focused on a certain white haired neko hanyou currently fighting her younger sister merely three feet from us.
-Kagome-
I huffed in annoyance when I saw Inuyasha glance over at me and Kouga, then simply turn and look back at Leiko and the demoness she was fighting with. I knew Inuyasha didn't care for me, but I didn't want to let him go either because I was afraid he'd send me home if he found someone else.
"Kagome?"
Kouga asked and I turned to look at him.
"Are you alright?"
He asked and I nodded and forced a smile.
"Of course I am Kouga."
I said before gently taking my hands out of his grasp. I heard Leiko cry out and saw Inuyasha tense up and I groaned before stomping over to Kilala to get away from him.
-Kouga-
I watched as my woman stomped away upset and turned to look at mutt face to see he was intently watching the two demonesses fighting. I took a whiff of the air and noticed with shock that they were both neko hanyou.
"Hey, what's going on?"
I asked mutt face as I walked over and stood next to him as we watched the two of them fight. The white haired one was quite a beauty, but so was the black haired one. My eyes widened when the black haired girl sent a wave of red energy from her claws surging across the ground towards the white haired girl who simply jumped out of the way. I watched as the white haired girl lunged at the black haired girl and they both tumbled to the ground, both fighting with the other to gain the upper hand.
"Leiko's fighting with her sister Rini for some reason."
He said and I looked from the fight to him, then back to the two sisters.
"Hey! Why are you two fighting!"
I called out and didn't actually expect to get an answer.
"To find out why my sister left the Eastern Palace!"
The black haired girl shouted as she dug her claws into the white haired girl's shoulder making her cry out before she jumped away from her sister.
'Did she say Eastern Palace? So these are the twin daughters of the Eastern Lord Nekofarr?'
I thought to myself as I watched them both glare at each other as they got to their feet before the white haired girl held her hand out and her sword flew to her hand.
"Enough of this."
She said before disappearing in a blur and suddenly forcing the black haired girl to the ground again with her sword pressed against her throat.
"Submit!"
She shouted and it looked like the black haired girl was going to argue, but whined when the white haired girl applied more pressure on the blade against her neck making her bleed. Then she turned her head to the side in a clear sign of submission.
I watched as the white haired girl got to her feet and sheathed her sword before holding her hand down to the black haired girl. She glared up at her before taking her hand and getting to her feet. She held out her hand and both her short swords flew from the ground to her hand and she sheathed them both before walking behind the white haired girl over to us.
"Sorry 'bout that Yasha. Rini doesn't always think before doing things."
The white haired girl said and I looked at the black haired girl named Rini.
'If she's Rini Takemori, then she must be Leiko Takemori.'
I thought looking from Rini to the white haired girl.
"It's no problem. Are you both okay?"
He asked and Leiko nodded before smiling at Inuyasha. I was shocked when he smiled back at her.
'It would seem that Inuyasha no longer cares for Kagome.'
I thought as I looked between Inuyasha and Leiko as they talked. It was clear that Leiko felt the same as Inuyasha, but it was also painfully clear that both were completely oblivious to each other's feelings.
"You lost Rini, so go back home."
Leiko suddenly said turning to look at her sister.
-Rini-
I blinked in surprise at my sister's words before glaring at her.
"No. I refuse to go home until you tell me why you left."
I said and she narrowed her eyes at me before sighing and rubbing the side of her temple in annoyance.
"RinRin, it's dangerous outside the walls of the Palace. If you stay out here you'll get hurt and I'm not going to be bothered with protecting you."
Leiko said and I growled at her.
"I'm not a kit anymore LeiLei! I'm well aware of the dangers outside the Palace walls and I'm more than capable of taking care of myself! I'm not going home until you tell me why you left!"
I snapped and she glared at me.
"Well then you won't be going back for a long time because I'm not gonna tell you."
She said and I growled at her again which made her smirk at me.
"Fine."
I said before turning to look at Inuyasha. He wasn't really a big friend of mine unlike his half-brother, but considering what was going on he was the only one I could turn to at the moment.
"Inuyasha, please allow me to travel with you and your companions so that I may find out why my sister suddenly left the Eastern Palace."
I said and he looked at me before turning to look at my sister who shook her head.
"Sorry Rini, but we can't be bothered with anymore people joining us."
He said and I glared at him before turning to look at my sister who was smiling slightly.
"Fine, but don't you dare think I'm going to go home."
I said before turning and walking towards the edge of the forest.
"Where are you going RinRin?"
I heard Leiko ask and stopped just on the outside of the forest.
"It doesn't matter. Just know that you'll see me again, real soon."
I said before walking into the forest.
