Chapter 8
Hikari's tail wrapped around her waist as she ran through the forest at blinding speed. She had her nine tails combined into one because of two reasons. The first reason being she wanted it to be a surprise, the second reason being because she didn't like having all nine tails out at once all the time since most of them sometimes just get in the way and she felt like a peacock.
She was really close to the village at this point in her run and her excitement was starting to wear off into anxiety. She had been gone for 87 years here, while she knew Kyo and Yumi would understand her reasons for leaving the rest of her clan may not. And with a bitch like Saiya as a Beta who knows what poison she could be spreading among her clan members about her.
Not only that but Kyo was in Konoha, and he wasn't hiding his tail or his youki. And she was pretty sure there was a human off in the distance from where he was training so he wasn't hiding anything. How long have humans known about them now? Everything she knew was changing and there are seemingly a lot more changes than she had assumed from when Lord Yukihito told her it would be different.
Not to mention she shouldn't even know about this village. Her past lifes knowledge about this universe wasn't going to help her in her current situation. She shouldn't know anything about Konoha or about anything. She realized she was going to have to play dumb. But if things had changed so much she wasn't going to have to do much pretending..
Stopping within reasonable distance of the gates, the smell of the people inside the walls were starting to overwhelm her and she wasn't even inside yet. She could just sneak into the village and find Kyo she had a good lock on his location and where he was he was alone, she could sense that. But she didn't want to have to hide per say.
Jumping down from the tree limb she was standing on she stood behind it and morphed her features. As her physical features changed so did her clothing, which confused her but she wasn't going to argue if it was helping. She was going to assume that Lord Yukihito put some sort of Kami magic on it and helped her with her shifting or whatever.
She turned herself into an old woman and started her trek down the dirt road. She was thinking of what she was going to say to the guards when she heard a cart and horses trotting behind her getting close. Then as it was next to her she heard the horses whine as they stopped and she heard a voice call out to her.
"Obachan? Do you want a ride into the village you look like you could use a break.." The man called out to Hikari and turned around to see a dirty but friendly looking man sitting in the front of his cart. Looking in the back she couldn't see anything as it was covered in a tarp but from the smell she could assume there were different vegetables sitting in crates. "Oh yes, thank you young man I would very much appreciate that" Hikari said as a warm raspy voice escaped her as she spoke.
Her wrinkled brown eyes smiling up at him as he got out of his cart to help her get in on the other side. "Obachan! Where are your shoes!" He said as Hikari waved him off. "I one of the straps came loose and broke and decided I would be better at just walking barefoot then with just one sandal on" He shook his head at her and scolded her about the important of proper footwear and that I should know considering my age.
He prattled onto her about proper footwear and then mentioned he was in the village to deliver an order to a merchant that was married to a cousin of his. And even though the ride was only about a half hour she felt like she knew the mans whole life story by the time they made it through the gates.
Both the guards recognizing the man and paid her no mind as they ordered for the gate to be opened and for them to be let through. "So tell me Obachan, what are you doing walking to the village?" "Oh I'm just here to rekindle some old friendships" They finally made it to his destination as he got out to check on the tarp that covered his produce. By the time he came back to see if she needed anything she was gone.
Hikari looked back at the man who helped her now disguised as a child she had seen on the way into the village. She would have to think of someway to repay his kindness at a later date.
Looking around the area she was in she could see she was in the marketplace and couldn't help but feel the excitement coming back as she stared at everything. You could see a bit of everything in the anime but it was so different in person! She felt a giggle bubble up in the back of her throat as she grinned. The tail of someone brushed passed her and she looked to see a youkai child holding onto his mothers hand as she held a basket on her elbow on her other arm and her hand placed on a very large baby bump.
Surprise was the first thing Hikari felt. And then confusion. 'How in the hell?...A child youkai? And he's from the Oedo clan I can sense that much...' As alpha Hikari had a very tiny connection with each of her clan members, it was even smaller with that pup that passed her with his mother. 'Something isn't right...how is it that they are having pups without me? I have way too many questions'
Deciding to put off finding Kyo for a little while longer, Hikari decided to follow the pup and his pregnant mother. Catching up to them she was about to ask the pup if he wanted to play with her as an excuse to get answers without seeming too suspicious when she saw another pregnant female youkai approach the pair.
"Oh my goodness Mai-chan you've gotten huge!" The woman said happily as she rubbed the large mound with excitement. The woman named Mai smiled proudly and nodded her head. "And soon you'll be just as big as me Yuki-chan" Mai said happily. "You're due any day now right? Lord Sesshoumaru will be here so he can help you deliver-"
Hikari stopped listening and walked away. 'Lord Sesshomaru has been blessing newborn pups in my clan..That would explain why my connection with the pup with his mother is not as strong..But then how-No no his mother is from the Oedo clan..he has a bond with the clan with his dog demon and he's an alpha. When did he start blessing the pups? How many members are there in the clan now? It would take to long to meditate and single each of them out...' Sighing outloud as she mindlessly walked through the streets of Konoha, subconsciously following the direction of Kyo's youki as she continued to mentally try and figure everything out.
'The clan will definitely hate me if Lord Sesshoumaru has been helping bless the pups..seeing as how the only reason they wanted me around has been filled by someone else'
Finally coming out of her head Hikari looked around to see she was at the entrance of the training yard she had seen Kyo in earlier that day. Looking at the sky she could see that the sun was starting to set and it must have been early morning when she had woken up.
Walking further into the training grounds Hikari could hear the heavy breathing of multiple people and mumbled voices and laughing.
Finally arriving in the right area Hikari seen Kyo shirtless laid out on the ground on his back in only a pair of loose black pants that tucked into a pair of black boots, talking calmly to a young pup possibly around 15 or 16 as he sat on the ground catching his breath looking very sweaty and tired.
Hikari clenched her teeth as she looked at Kyo as she watched the rise and fall of his muscled chest and the way his markings wrapped around his thick arms. Hikari mentally slapped herself and told herself no. That was when Kyo noticed her standing there and sat up, his long mid back length black hair tumbling over his shoulders.
'What the fuck is wrong with me?' Hikari asked herself panicking slightly as she found herself watching the way Kyo's muscles tightened as he moved to stand up. 'Heat! Heat! It's my heat, gotta be my heat! It starts again soon in like three days. Dear Kami Amaterasu let it be my heat...'
"Are you lost pup?" Kyo asked as he walked towards her standing a safe distance away from her as the boy behind him moved to stand next to him. Hikari was at a loss of words but ended up pulling herself back together from her mini breakdown at possibly being attracted to Kyo.
'Why had I never noticed just how attractive he was?' "Hello? Are you in there?" "Don't be rude Tenchi" Kyo growled as he watched Hikari with concerned eyes. "Did you get seperated from your parents?" Tenchi asked in more concerned voice after being reprimanded.
"You could say that" Hikari said finally getting her wits together. Kyo raised an eyebrow as he looked at her. Gulping nervously Hikari scratched her head and looked at Kyo and sighed. It would be a lot easier if she had just shown up as herself..Deciding enough was enough Hikari glowed slightly and turned into herself.
When Hikari stood there as herself Hikari became even more nervous because Kyo was just standing there looking at her. Then suddenly he started chuckling a bit and waved her off.
"Good one Yumi you did a good job a mimicking what Hikari might look like, but you aren't fooling anyone just turn back, that's an interesting outfit choice though" Kyo said amused as he turned away from her and started stretching. 'Are you fucking kidding me?'
"Yumi has tried mimicking me before? Was she any good at it?" Hikari said sounding slightly aggravated. "You can quit it now Yumi, you know I don't like it when you do this" Kyo said still not turning around to look at her. Growling Hikari picked up a rock and threw it at his head. The whole time Tenchi was just staring at her with wide eyes.
"K-Kyo-sama I don't think that's Yumi-sama...she smells different" Kyo stopped trying to ignore Hikari and actually turned around slowly and looked at her, but actually looked at her this time.
He was going over every detail her scent her looks her face, everything. And out of all the times Yumi had played her prank the markings she portrayed were simple and how they were when she was young and her hair wasn't as long...and her smell...He mentally groaned as he inhaled her scent she smelled just like Hikari but with a more mature scent and then there was an undertone to her scent that let him know she was going to be in heat soon that most female youkai let off naturally.
Hikari stood there letting Kyo examine her with his eyes and even poked her with his youki to see how it would react to see if there was a genjustu hovering around her. "Is it really?" Kyo said quietly as he walked towards her. Hikari's beast growled seductively in her head as he approached her making her uncomfortable.
"Hikari-sama?" Hikari smiled and nodded, "Its m-" The next thing she knew she was being picked up and hugged, and the world was spinning.
"K-Kyo! What the hell!" Hikari yelled as she felt him hug her tighter. She could feel the vibrations of his laugh from his chest as he hugged her tighter. She didn't know what to do so she hugged him back, and when he finally stopped spinning her and her feet were on the ground she kept hugging him. She was trying not to cry, but Kyo could smell the salt from her tears.
Things were getting a lot more emotional than she had thought they would get. Hikari finally let go and moved back to see Kyo smiling down at her happily. "I'm glad your back Hikari-sama, I've missed you" Hikari smiled and nodded. "I've missed you too Kyo, and Yumi too" Kyo nodded. "Yumi missed you just as much as I have if not more, she's out of the village on a mission but she'll be back before too long maybe a few more hours just a simple delivery mission"
"Kyo-sama?" Tenchi said still standing in his spot looking at Hikari with wide eyes. Kyo smiled and beckoned Tenchi forward. "Hikari-sama this is Tenchi he's my pupil, I've been looking after him since his parents died" Kyo said sadly as Tenchi stood there shyly as he was introduced to Hikari and she just smiled softly. Looking at Tenchi she rustled his hair with her hand and lifted his head with her hand to look at her making him blush. "You are quite adorable Tenchi-chan" She said as he mumbled a thank you under his breath making Kyo laugh.
Suddenly an urge took over Hikari and she pulled Tenchi to stand in front of her. She felt something in him and she couldn't quite pinpoint it excatly. Making him look her in the eyes Hikari saw it. He was growing weak and not because of his training with Kyo. But his life force was growing weak, she could feel whatever it was that was keeping him alive was wearing off and quickly. Then it struck her. "Kyo, I heard that Lord Sesshoumaru has been blessing the pups of this clan at birth is that true?"
Kyo nodded grimly. "Shortly after you left to the underworld Saiya decided that it was time that humans new about youkai again and came here to this village when it was still in its early stages of development and spoke with the first Hokage so that we could become a part of this village. Saiya spoke with Lord Sesshoumaru about trying an experiment out to see if his blood could be used to bless our clans pups since you were gone. And it worked, every pup born was about to live, but it is only a temporary fix. Every few months Lord Sesshoumaru has to return to the village to re-bless the pups because even though his chakra is strong enough to bless the pups he isn't the true alpha"
Hikari looked at Tenchi and saw sadness in his eyes. "Does being blessed by Lord Sesshoumaru have any adverse side effects?" Kyo nodded and Tenchi shrugged solemnly. "Even though Lord Sesshoumaru can bless the pups its effects are only temporary. Lord Sesshoumaru has to come back to the village every few months or whenever a pup is about to be born to re-bless the pups since he isn't our clans Alpha"
"But some of our clan members look to him as our alpha, only because he can push off our deaths a few months at a time" Tenchi said irritably. But Kyo nodded grimly hating to agree before looking at Hikari seriously. "A lot has changed since you've been gone Lady Hikari and I'm sure you are aware of that" Hikari nodded, she was about to say something when she heard distant voices of people coming closer to them, none of the voices she recognized and Kyo seemed to understand. "Follow me Hikari-sama I will take us somewhere we can talk more about this privately" With that said Kyo took off into the direction of the village with Tenchi and Hikari is tow.
After following Kyo for a few minutes they finally came to a faily large house near the edge of the village. It was built in a traditional japanese fashion but you could tell it had been upgrades to suit modern needs.
Opening the front door Kyo walked into his and Tenchi's home with Hikari following them closely. They took off their shoes and put on their house slippers and walked in, Hikari mearly putting on house slippers sice she was not wearing shoes which both males just realized.
Kyo directed Hikari to a lounging table where she took her seat and Kyo sat across from her as Tenchi went off to get tea.
Getting back to the issues at hand Hikari started the conversation where it had been left off.
"Besides having to continuously bless pups every few months is there any other "side effects" to it?" Kyo cleared his throat and nodded as Tenchi came back to the table with tea and served everyone before sitting down next to Kyo.
"The youkai that have been born and recieved blessings from Lord Sesshoumaru are noticeably weaker than the rest of us born still under the reign of your father. Their youki levels are very low and it takes longer for them to recuperate from anything whether it be some kind of sickness or an injury. Because of this very few of the pups born have become shinobi. Most of them happily civilians and others begrudgingly wishing they could help protect their village, people. Not only that but the connection with their beasts are very weak, about 80 percent of the youkai born don't even have tails to symbolize their connection. It takes immense meditation for them to even make the first connection with their beasts and achieve getting their first tail. So the number of tails you have the more the pups of the generation idolize you. Tenchi here just got his third tail last week so he's been getting a lot of attention. He's the first youkai in our clan to get his third tail in 60 years" Kyo said the last part proudly as Tenchi blushed a bit.
"How did you come to this village Kyo? And where exactly is this village?" Hikari thought it best to feign ignorance to her knowledge of this village and who resides in it, it might come back to bite her if lets on she knows too much.
Kyo's brows furrowed in confusion but then his facial features went back to normal as he took a sip from his cup. "Before I answer that Hikari-sama how long have you been back? Maybe that will help me explain all that needs to be explained" Kyo said over the rim of his cup. Hikari just rolled her eyes. "I've been back in the land of the living for maybe 10 hours now"
Kyo's facial expression went blank as Tenchi just looked surprised. "...How did you find me?" Kyo asked. "The trees guided me" Hikari answered simply making Tenchi snicker. She was aware she sounded kinda like a hippie and unbelievable. "How-" "Just answer my question Kyo it would honestly take too long to explain the technique, I don't know anything about anything. Please fill me in"
Coughing Kyo nodded and started talking. "Well it seems I need to fill you in on the last 80 and some odd years then..." Clearing his throat he began his tale.
"After you sunk into the seal with Lord Yukihito me and Yumi sat around in the clearing for a few days hoping you would come back..Yumi took it very hard when you left and we felt like we failed you, and in a way we did.." A pained expression crossed Kyo's face as the memories of the past swept through his mind. "The seal began to glow one day when we were starting to give up hope and we were hoping it was you but one of the spirits came through the seal and told us that you wouldn't be returning any time soon and that right now we needed to no longer worry about you, but to not fret because you would return but they didn't know when. Then she said something about time working differently and time passes slower here and I don't know, it was a long time ago and she sort of mumbled as she returned back through the seal.
So after that we went to find Saiya and Ryota to tell them what happened. Saiya was...well she was happy to say the least. She said she had a plan to solve all of our clans problems. The humans separated the lands and created boarders. She had mention two shinobi clans the Senju and Uchiha had created a shinobi village called Konohagakure and there were other hidden villages as well, she had a plan to talk with the leaders of the other clans and we did.
We all agreed since our numbers were so small we were going to go reveal that youkai were not extinct and that we weren't fairy-tales anymore. Each clan choose a country and hidden village and were going to convince the leaders to allow us refuge and in return they get the benefit of having youkai soldiers. So Saiya and I along with Yumi and Ryota went and met with the Kage Hashirama Senju and we were able to convince him to allow us to live in the village. It took a couple decades for the humans to adjust to us being there, but I guess we finally won them over when the Kyuubi attacked Konoha and we were able to hold him off long enough for the Hokage to sadly sacrifice himself to save the village. Since then the prejudice between humans and youkai here in Konoha has been virtually nonexistent.
The Ozuna clan took refuge in Wind country, Yamamoto clan in Earth country, Tsukino in Water country, Fujiwara in Lighting country, and Oedo here in Fire country.
It was shortly after we came and fully settled down in Konoha that Saiya approached Lord Sesshoumaru about attempting to bless the newborn pups in our clan. Since the settlement in Konoha one of the females had gotten pregnant and was very troubled at the fact she would lose her pup if not blessed by an alpha. Lord Sesshoumaru has the strongest ties with our clan being he has both Ozuna and Oedo beast inside of him, he had agreed and the blessing of the first pup was a success. Everything after that is just history and here we are, with you returning after 87 years" Kyo said finishing his tea and Tenchi pouring him more.
Hikari went over everything that Kyo said and got a good idea of everything. "Who is the Hokage now?" "Lady Tsunade Hikari-sama" Tenchi said smiling. "Who are the Kages of the other countries?" "Well Hikari-sama the countries aren't ruled by the Kages they are ruled by the Daimyo and there is a military force that supports the Daimyo being the hidden villages, The Hidden Villages are are Sunagakure in Wind countries Kazekage there is Gaara. Earth Countries Tsuchikage in Iwakagure is Onoki, Water countries Mizukage in Kirigakure is Terumi Mei, and Lighting countries Raikage in Kumogakure is A.
There are other hidden villages as well, but those are the five great shinobi nations"
Hikari nodded took a drink of her tea, trying to gather her thoughts. "Tenchi would you mind leaving the room?" Hikari looked up from her cup to see Tenchi leaving down the hall before entering a room and closing the door, confused Hikari looked up to see Kyo setting his cup down. "Hikari-sama there is something important we must speak about" "I thought we were?" Hikari said and Kyo shook his head.
"You need to gather the members of our clan and present yourself as their Alpha. I know you plan on it but you need to do so as soon as possible. Saiya...she has figured out a way to take your position as Alpha away.." Kyo said trying to contain the anger in his voice. "That's impossible" "That's what I had thought as well, But its possible. All she needs to do is summon the youkai council with the clan present and impeach you. She will call out that you have not been here and you have been ignoring the needs of your clan and will make a very convincing claim and it will rally the rest of our clan members to her side. She has been going that for centuries before you were even born..You aren't winning any popularity contests around here Hikari-sama but there are some who still believe in you as our true alpha and see through Saiya's tactics of shallowness and greed"
Hikari's hands were trembling and she was forced to put the cup she was holding down. But she wasn't trembling in fear it was anger. She was furious. "How soon does she plan on doing this?" Hikari asked in a surprisingly cool manner. "As soon as she gets back tonight...that's what she was doing gone for the passed two weeks she was gathering the youkai leaders from the other clans so that they could be here around the time of another birth and witness your, "ignorance and inability" to take care of your clan. I just found out earlier today and in my anger trained with Tenchi and pushed him harder than necessary.." Kyo said admittedly.
Hikari was going over possible scenarios in her head about what she could do to stop this when she heard a cry in the distance. "She's here...and she's summoning the clan" Kyo said irritably. "Hokage-sama will probably be there as well to witness what is going to happen" Kyo said absentmindedly standing from the table as Tenchi came out of his room. "Kyo-sama?"
Kyo patted his shoulder as he walked back into a room and came back out quickly with a shirt on. "I'm going" Hikari said standing up from the table. "If you didn't volunteer I would have made you" Kyo said smirking as he went over and opened up the door.
Hikari borrowed a hooded cape from Kyo and put it on as she stood next to him and Tenchi hiding her chakra and her scent. They were currently in the arena where the chunnin exams were held and Saiya was in the middle of the arena with Ryota and the youkai leaders. Hikari mentally growled she had never actually seen Saiya and Ryota before. She had smelled their scents years ago when she snuck off and followed Yumi and Kyo but she never got the chance to see their faces out of fear of being caught.
And she as irritated to find that Saiya was gorgeous with long dark blonde hair and electric green eyes. Her lips were a pale pink and her figure though tall was willowy and showed off her athletic tone. And Ryota wasn't bad to look at either with his bright orange hair and dark chocolate brown eyes. He was taller than Saiya by a few inches and was slim but athletic, his form told her that he was fast.
What caught her eye was Lord Sesshoumaru, he looked just like the Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha! And kami was he gorgeous...if she thought her heat was affecting her when she saw Kyo shirtless this youkai was making her blood pump a little bit faster even with all his clothes on. He was even wearing his usual haori and hakama with his armor and fluffy thing. Which she later found out in her training was a physical manifestation of his youki. She could create one herself but it was just a waste of time for the most part. It was purely aesthetic and a symbol of power.
She looked over at Lord Benjiro and saw his blazing blue hair, his hair was a mixture of light and dark blues and his eyes were a changing colors of purple. His markings were pure silver and he was just as strikingly handsome as Lord Sesshoumaru and she was having a hard time trying to tell what kind of youkai he was. He was he Alpha of the Yamamoto house but he wasn't the color of any forest like creature she had ever seen. And it dawned on her that no one had ever told her what kind of youkai he was. "Phoenix youkai" "What?" Hikari asked confused as she looked at Kyo and he chuckled. "He's a pheonix youkai, with red wolf but mostly phoenix youkai" Hikari's brows furrowed. "But...he's from the Yamamoto clan?" "Aa he is. But Phoenix youkai are extremely rare and only show up from someone in the Yamamoto clan even though they are typically forest creatures. There are legends of Phoenix youkai in there clan but most had never believed it true until Lord Benjiro, most youkai like to believe its because he's an Amaterasu youkai"
Hikari nodded her head and tried not to focus too much on the seductive purple eyes of Lord Benjiro and looked at the Lord Raiden the Alpha of the Tsukino clan and last born Amaterasu youkai. His hair was a platinum silver with a pale blue undertone, his eyes were icy blue and his marking were just a shade darker than his eyes. His skin was as white as snow. He was unsurprising at this point as handsome as the other youkai lords his jaw more chiseled and masculine compared to them though which she thought was different. And he had a scar over his left eyebrow which made her wonder how he got it.
Looking at the last Alpha she found out that his name was Naraku and couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head as Kyo looked at her with a brow raised. He looked just like Naraku from Inuyasha. She was wondering if any other people from that show were going to show up here but she wasn't expecting it to be Naraku. He was a spider youkai. 'How ironic..' Hikari said mentally in a very sarcastic tone.
Suddenly Yumi dropped down next to Kyo and growled. Hikari was surprised to see her. She was paying to much attention to the people in the ring that she wasn't very focused on her surroundings.
"That bitch what does she think she's doing?!" Yumi growled out angrily. "Trying to get rid of Hikari-sama for good it appears" Kyo said plainly. "She can't do that!"
Saiya whistled gaining the attention of everyone in the arena. She motioned for Kyo and Yumi to join her and they jumped down clearly not happy with what was going on.
"My fellow clan members and the Leaders of the youkai clans, I have brought you here today to talk about the future of the Oedo clan" Saiya said everyone in the crowd started murmering their confusion and trying to guess what she had wanted to talk about specifically.
"Saiya what do you think you're doing?" Yumi hissed at her as she walked closer to her trying not to make a scene. Saiya just looked smug with her arms crossed as she looked around the stands.
Hikari looked around as well and for the first time she realized how many of them there were now. Before there were barely 30 clan members left now it looked like at least 60.
"Our clan has suffered for many years after the fall of Noboru-sama..We have not had a proper alpha since him.." Saiya said pausing for dramatic effect. "His pup was finally born and there was once again hope for our clan and then she went and abandoned us! No one has seen her in over 80 years, thankfully Lord Sesshoumaru has been able to help our clan as much as he can otherwise many of you would not be here today"
A lot of the youkai in the stands were starting to get riled up, most were saying she made a lot of sense while a few mumbled that wasn't the full story. One even yelled out that she should be their alpha causing a roar of cheers and agreements. "Saiya-sama you should be our Alpha!" "Saiya-sama and Kyo-sama are the only ones strong enough to lead our clan!"
Saiya just stood there bathing in the praise but not letting it show too much on her face. "I have gathered the other leaders of the youkai clans and all you wonderful youkai here to impeach our current Alpha from her position"
Gasped were heard throughout the stands of people but went on deaf ears as most of the younger generation applauded her cheering her on. "Our Alpha has yet to stand up to the plate and she is missing, if you all agree to have me and Kyo-senpai as your Alphas all we need is the approval of the other youkai leaders" Saiya said as she turned to look at the Leaders. She kneeled before them with respect and bowed her head as before looking up at them. The crowd cheered her on and Yumi and Kyo could only look at her with disgust.
"How dare you Saiya!" Yumi yelled as the roaring of the crowd decreased so hushed whispers. "You do not deserve to be my alpha I will not stand for it!" Yumi screeched as Saiya stood and growled her youki spiking startling a lot of youkai in the crowd. Her tails unraveled showing all seven of her tails making every gasp.
Hikari looked over at someone when they whispered in astonishment. "A female youkai has never had more than six tails before!" Hikari's eyebrows furrowed in confusion she wasn't aware of that. She turned back to see Saiya forcing Yumi down on her knees without touching her just pushing her youki down on her making her gasp before making her submit.
Kyo growled as he bared his fangs at his seven tails. "You will cease your actions bitch!" Saiya growled at him and backed away before smirking at Yumi. "I refuse to be Alpha" Kyo said making Saiya shrug. "If you do not want to be Alpha male I'm sure Ryota wouldn't mind" Said man walked forward and stood by Saiya's side.
The leaders of the youkai clans who had been standing there silently watching them dispute finally spoke up.
"Why should we agree to let you be Alpha Bitch?" Sesshoumaru said in a cool tone as he leveled his gaze at Saiya. She turned around to face him as she bowed her head. "Lord Sesshoumaru you have witnessed my dedication to my clan, I am only thinking of what is best for them. I am very grateful to you for all the help you have provided us but it is time that their true alpha steps up and takes control of the clan they need their true alpha" Saiya said as Ryota and a few people nodded from the stands agreeing with her which did not go unnoticed by him and the other leaders.
"And you think you are best suited?" Benjiro said as he raised a thin blue brow at her and she nodded. "I have done nothing but put my clan before me and I will continue to do so. To some of the clan members I am already their Alpha" Benjiro looked into the crowed to see a few of them nodding their heads in agreement.
"Tell me where did your Alpha run off to hmm?" Naraku said as he stared down at Saiya. "I'm not sure Lord Naraku only Kyo and Yumi truly know what happened to her and they have refused to tell me. By that I can only assume that she didn't want to bear the responsibility of the clan and so I stepped forward as I am stepping forward now" Naraku nodded his head as he looked over at Yumi and Kyo. Kyo helping Yumi stand as she cried into his shoulder. "And I suppose if I asked you, you wouldn't tell me?" Naraku asked Kyo as he just stood there glaring at him. He chuckled and shrugged.
Hikari looked around the arena and sighed. This wasn't exactly how she imagined she would introduce herself to her clan or even the youkai lords but, oh well. 'Let's just hope this isn't too painful..'
Still in her disguise Hikari jumped over the railing and landed on the ground and started walking towards the middle where the other leaders were. Tenchi tried to reach out and stop her but she had already made it to the ground.
Everyone was puzzled as they watched her walk towards the leaders. Hikari looked up into the eyes of Benjiro and suddenly a bright smile bloomed on his face and he looked over at Sesshomaru and motioned to Raiden. Both Sesshoumaru and Raiden looked at her and they were suddenly on the same mental track. Hikari knew that they knew she was wearing someone elses "skin" and she was about to question how but then remembered that other Amaterasu can recognize someone with the same blood even if they aren't in their original skin.
Ignoring them for the moment Hikari went towards Kyo and rubbed Yumi's back comforting her. It made her blood boil that Saiya had did this to her. Humiliating her in front of their clan and the youkai leaders as if she was no one. Growling Hikari looked up at Saiya to see her staring at her. "I think you owe Yumi an apology" Hikari said as Yumi finally started to calm down to look up to see who was trying to comfort her.
Saiya glared at her and chuckled. "And who do you think you are telling me what to do?" "She is your alpha" Raiden said finally speaking up with a smirk on his face.
Saiya looked surprised as she looked at Raiden and back her her. Hikari glowed for a bit and turned back into herself glaring at Saiya. "You-" "I am your alpha" Hikari said as the crowd was once again up in a roar. Most of them cursing her for not being here and others cheering happily at seeing her, Tenchi being one of them.
"You aren't my Alpha, you have never been my alpha" Saiya said growling her youki once again spiking. "I have always been your alpha Saiya" Hikari said growling as she took a few steps away from Yumi and Kyo. "Well it looks like it was pointless to bring Lord Sesshoumaru and the others here to try and impeach you. Now that your here I challenge you for your right to be alpha!" Saiya growled out as she bared her fangs flaring her seven tails.
Kyo looked at Hikari worried, Yumi just trying to get her hands on Hikari so she could hug her but also equally worried. This was something they were trying to avoid since she was a pup.
Hikari just stood there with a blank face and then raised her eyebrow. "Denied" Choking on her response Saiya looked at Hikari and growled shocked. "You can't deny my challenge!" "I can if I find it a waste of time. Because a fight for Alpha is to the death and if you fight me Saiya I will kill you..and then I will bring you back and kill you again" Hikari said taking a step towards Saiya.
Saiya growled angrily and tried to push her youki down on her to try and force her to submit but Hikari just waved it off. Spiking her own youki Hikari's tails extended until all nine of them were surrounding her making everyone in the crowd and the other occupants on the ring speechless. And just for added effect Hikari let her wings burst from her back and the sheer force of her youki making her braid come undone and her long hair float around her. Her glowing eyes narrowing at Saiya as she pushed youki down on her instantly making her kneel before her.
"You will submit to your alpha willingly or I will make you"
