Chapter 4

Gasping for air she jumped back barely escaping being cleaved in two by an, in her opinion, over long katana. 'I mean common that thing is a bit overkill' She was on the defensive dodging swipes and jabs from said katana before she found an opening and dove for it. Dodging a thrust of the sword that was coming her way she went under the sword and thrust her fist forwards into Kyo's stomach. He grunted sending a kick her way slow enough for her to dodge and then jumped back away from her.

"Good job Hikari, we'll break for a few" Kyo said as he threw a towel and canteen filled with water her way. "Okay, great" Hikari said as she caught the items and flopped backwards onto the ground. The dirt and grass seemingly to curl around her. Kami knows she wouldn't mind just sinking into it and not coming back out.

Seven years...It had been seven short years since she had been there. And the only thing she knows is that, she's no where near the level she needs to be in order to be alpha...

Granted she is still only 12 years old but...She's weak. That punch she gave to Kyo, he let her do it. He does that sometimes...And so does Yumi. And she hates it. They do it more than just sometimes they do it all the time and it pisses her off each time. When she mentioned it before to them they said its to help encourage her to let her know she's making progress in her training but, then if she was why did they let her hit them?! Giving me a pity swing doesn't make her feel stronger if anything she still feels like she's five years old but can at least hit the center of the bulls eye with a kunai...She didn't like training sessions with Kyo and Yumi because they went easy on her.

At first she liked it and even appreciated it and was glad they were taking it easy on her. But as they time passed and she wasn't getting any better, not really she started yelling at them to actually hit her and to...to just do something because it was pissing her off. They just went to tell her, "Hikari-sama if we hit you with our full strength you could die" And so what?! She would just come back and she said that and they just said, "Yes, but what if you don't I don't want to the chance of you not coming back Hikari-sama". Blah blah blah, "No Hikari-sama I can't do that. No Hikari-sama you can't learn that yet you aren't experienced enough. No Hikari-sama"

What the hell was the point with learning anything from them if they were just going to treat her like a child all the time?!

"Hikari-sama?" Hikari looked over to see Yumi headed towards her directed with a tray of food. When she got there she placed the tray down in front of her and smiled patting the top of her head which earned her growl in return that she just laughed off. Hikari looked at the tray and saw that it everything was placed very nicely everywhere and it was a bit over the top, but she appreciated it none the less. "Arigato Yumi-senpai" "Its no problem. Oh! Yes, Kyo says that once you're done training you can go off and do your own personal training. Is that okay?" Hikari internally sighed in relief and nodded her head as she grabbed her chopsticks. "Itadakimasu"

Hikari ate and watched Yumi walk away.

She prefered training on her own. She didn't have to worry about her guardians going easy on her. Plus there were things she was learning that she didn't want them to know about yet and well...things they didn't know how to teach her anyways.

Once done eating she walked off into the area of the forest that Kyo showed her that she can train in private without them watching over her shoulder. There was a waterfall a small distance away but the open area is where she did most of her training.

The moment she sat down and got situated and started meditating she sensed three presences surround her. "Are you ready for your training Hikari?" Hikari opened her eyes to see the outlines her teachers. Hikari nodded her head and then training began.

Her teachers were three spirits of her Amaterasu ancestors. One of them was actually her grandmother named Hanako. Which surprised her that her grandmother was human. But found out that if a human is strong enough physically and spiritually then they can produce full blooded youkai pups if their partner is youkai.

Another one was one of the strongest Amaterasu women in her clan having had such complete chakra control she was able to create regular chakra with her healing chakra and create offensive justus her name was Aya.

And the last one was the very first Amaterasu woman Aigyou.

They each taught her the clans history and their healing techniques. And currently they were teaching her how to summon her wings and control elements without the aid of chakra. She had originally thought she her mother had passed down her fire lineage then she would be able to control fire without effort and that was it but she can control earth, water, air, and lightning without aid from it. But controling them was a whole 'nother story which it was she was trying to do at that moment.

After a few hours dusk was upon her and she laid back on the grass exhausted. "Hikari" Looking to her side she saw the spirit of her grandmother. "Hai?" "We would like to introduce you to Lord Yukihito" Hikari sat up and looked over at the first Amaterasu. "Why? I thought it was tradition that once I have my first moon cycle or well...enter my first heat then after I will meet Lord Yukihito, I won't enter my heat for possibly another 4-6 years" She felt her grandmother come closer to her and it felt like she was resting her hand on her shoulder.

"He has been asking to meet with you" She said as the other two nodded in agreement. "We have been arguing with him on it about tradition and that you were too young but he is making it very obvious he will not be ignored and that you must meet with him" Aya said as she sat in front of her. "So..I have to meet with him?" Hikari said feeling very nervous.

"Not right now child no, on the full moon next week. We will help you draw the seal to summon him and talk you through it, I'm sorry but there is no avoiding the meeting. You can either initiate it or he can force you, its best if you just agree" Hikari looked at the spirit of her grandmother wishing she could at least see her face and distinguish what she looked like to see if she looked anything like her, everyone she's met who knew her mother always tells her she looks just like her.

"Okay...next week"

Hikari paced back and forth near the pile of fur blankets she calls her bed and kept looking up every once in a while to look over at Yumi and Kyo to see them looking at her, on in worry and the other in confusion.

It was the night of the full moon and she was supposed to go to the waterfall to meet with the spirits and summon Lord Yukihito and she had yet to tell Yumi and Kyo. She wonders if she still should. When she asked the spirit of her grandmother and the other women they just told her it doesn't involve them so its none of their business so if I choose not to tell them its not their concern. But she had to right?! They were her guardians and they took care of her and if something like this was happening they should know, right?

Growling she pulled and her tail and started heading over towards them.

"Ahh so you're finally going to tell us what's wrong huh?" Kyo said with a smirk on his face and Yumi just smacked him on the back of his head earning a glare from him. "Shut it Kyo, Hikari-sama dear what's wrong? You've been pacing over there for two hours straight"

Hikari sighed and relaxed her shoulders, "I have to summon Lord Yukihito tonight" She said quickly as she held her breath waiting for a response. Both just looked at her dumbley. "Come again?" Kyo asked. Growling Hikari grabbed her tail again and twisted it a bit. "I have to summon Lord Yukihito tonight" She said slowly. As the words registered into their heads Hikari could read the shocked appear on their faces. "You mean the god that Amaterasu people would summon to bring people back to life?" Yumi asked as Hikari nodded her head in agreement. "Are you trying to bring back your parents? Because I won't let you, you should just let them rest Hik-" "No!" Hikari yelled interrupting Kyo's frustrated rant.

"I...Sometimes the spirits of the Amaterasu clan come and teach me their justus" Hikari said feeling very guilty suddenly for some reason. "Since when Hikari-sama?" Yumi asked, Hikari could see hurt on her face and knew it was because she hadn't told them sooner and she didn't trust them. "For a few years now shortly after you guys started teaching me.." "Why do you need to summon Lord Yukihito if you aren't trying to bring back your parents?" Kyo said sounding very stern as if he was trying to scold her.

"He wants to meet me, my ancestors told me and so on the night of the full moon which is tonight I have to summon him so that we can have a formal meeting.." Both Yumi and Kyo looked at one another and back at Hikari. "Okay...take us to the meeting place"

Three hours later Hikari, Kyo and Yumi were in the clearing waiting for the moon to get to its highest peak in the sky. Hikari was standing in a seal and Kyo and Yumi were sitting in the grass a short distance away. Right before Kyo was about to say something three glowing forms appeared around the seal and spoke to Hikari in soft tones that he couldn't understand.

"Are you ready Hikari?" Aya asked as Hikari nodded her head yes in response.

Hikari started chanting as her chakra was summoned to skin and she started to glow. Taking a kunai from her weapons pouch she held it in her left hand and held the right one face up. Her back started to grow scorching hot as suddenly feathered wings pierced her flesh and sprouted out her back. Hikari wanted to cry out from the pain of her wings sprouted from her back for the first time but the only sound of distress was a slightly shakier tone in her voice as she continued to chant. Small drops of blood trickled down her back as she took moved the kunai to hover over open palm she sliced it open. Letting the blood pool in her hand she then turned her hand down and let the blood touch the middle of the intricate seal drawn into the dirt. And suddenly the seal burst to life and burst of energy exploded through the open area.

"Hikari-sama?!" "Hikari!" Yumi and Kyo yelled as the dust cleared and they saw Hikari was no longer alone in the seal and the spirits that stood at different points of the seal were gone. And the glow from the seal extended high into the sky surrounding the two in a shield.

Hikari kept her gaze down at the open bleeding wound of her hand in fear of the man standing in front of her. She heard a deep chuckle coming from him which only made her tense more. "So we finally meet little Hikari" he said as an involentary whimper came from the back of her throat. She froze as his hand gently gripped her chin to lift her head up so that he could get a better look at her.

"Look at me" He said as his voice seemed to vibrate through his whole body. Hesitantly Hikari looked up at him and tensed even more. He was more gorgeous than anything she had ever seen. Even more so than Amaterasu. His hair as black as night and his eyes seemed to show flames dancing in them. His nose was sharp and his face angular and chisled at the same time. His lips were thin but full for their size and she couldn't help the feeling he caused in her pubecent body that she hadn't felt since she was human..and he knew it and took joy from it. 'Fucking pervert'

"Now now Hikari its you that is reacting to me" Yukihito spoke deepening his voice as he moved his face closer to hers. It was like liquid sex, 'What the fuck is up with this guy?' "If anyone here is a pervert its you" He said chuckling. Getting irritated Hikari tried to move her face out of his grasp but he just tightened his fingers around her chin and narrowed his eyes at her.

"You will be quite beautiful when you grow up..I can't wait to taste your blood" He said letting go over her chin. She glared at him. "Why did you want to meet me?" Hikari said having enough of his antics. Looking at him she could see his eyes weren't even focused on hers but on Yumi and Kyo behind her. She turned around only to gasp to see them standing right outside the glowing blue barrier around the seal trying to figure out a way in.

Once he started talking again Hikari turned back around feeling uneasy. "I am here to offer you help of course" Lord Yukihito said as he grinned watching Yumi and Kyo trying to get in. "Why would I need your help?" "Oh? Why wouldn't you need my help?" Hikari opened her mouth to retort but couldn't think of anything. "Tell me Hikari how is your training going for you right now?" He asked watching the frustration glaze her eyes before returning to normal. "I'd say from that look it isn't going to well" "But you already knew that otherwise you wouldn't be offering this so called, help" Hikari said irritated.

"You feel like if those two out there would stop treating you like a child you would advance quicker, right?" Hikari looked out to see Yumi casting a water dragon justu at the shield trying to break it. "Tell me Hikari why do you so desperately want to prove yourself to be a good alpha? I mean you aren't even from this world and yet you are trying to hard to get stronger for people who don't even know who you are" Hikari's eyes widdened in shock that he knew she wasn't from there but then realized he's a God of course he knows...Her eyes saddened before looking at the ground.

"Kyo and Yumi-senpai they...I...They "left" me here three years ago telling me they would be back they had some clan buisness I wasn't old enough to handle yet to take care of and then they would be back in 2 weeks..I disguised myself and followed them. They ended up in a village where what is left of the Oedo clan live and they were meeting with Saiya and Ryota to talk about the clan. They talked about how there were only maybe 37 of us left and how its hard to rebuild a population when the women can't keep their pups that are born because their alpha is a 'mere child and doesn't know anything. Saiya mentioned how she wished she had just killed my mother when she was pregnant with me so that her and Kyo could have been the alphas after my father died as they should have been..Kyo and Yumi mention my training isn't getting much better and they've been taking it easy on me so that they don't hurt my pride and that I'm weak...Yumi said she wants to believe I will be a good alpha but so far I'm not showing much signs of improvement. I still only have one tail I should have at least three by now like how they heard Lord Sesshoumaru and Lord Benjiro did when they were my age...

Neither of them told Saiya she shouldn't say things like killing my mother...they didn't...they don't believe in me...Saiya said when I revert to my youth she's going to challenge me for my position as alpha...and she's going to win because I'm not strong enough...But I don't want that to happen...I'm alpha...I'm not going to let anyone take it away from me whether I was born here or not this is my home and this is my life and they aren't..." Hikari couldn't finish as she started to break down. She felt a hand touch her shoulder and she looked up to see the steady gaze of Lord Yukihito.

"You are the Alpha your clan needs Hikari, but if you don't take my help its going to take you centuries to be the alpha your clan needs, centuries you don't have" "How?" That was all she asked before Yukihito pulled her into his embrace and fire consumed them and they disappeared into the seal.
