(Yukiko's pov)

It's been a couple of months since Orochimaru showed up. He and Aura have taken a like to each other very quickly. He taught her about Jutsu's and ninja and so on so forth. He also trained Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke was chosen to be his next vessel. I scoffed at Sasuke in disgust. I despise that boy. If he only he knew why Itachi-san murdered the clan... He has this ridiculous thought in his mind about killing Itachi. Revenge blinds people and it keeps them away from what's really important. Sasuke had it. A home, friends, and a powerful teacher, but he threw all away for revenge and power. Fool.

I hadn't heard from Kaito which worried me. I had a feeling in the back of my mind something was wrong. I felt so cold...

"Lady Yukiko," I jumped at the voice.

"W-what?!" I turned to face Kabuto, "You look pale. Are you okay?" he cocked his head to the side.

I nodded, "Of course. Just...thinking..." he shook his head and walked off. He didn't buy it.

I went back to wondering what was causing such a feeling. I rubbed my arms trying to regain some warmth when two pale arms wrapped around my waist. "Yukiko, are you cold?" Orochimaru's voice was next to my ear. "I'm fine..." he looked like he didn't buy it either... "Yukiko you've been acting strange of late. What's the matter?" he wouldn't drop it! I glared at him, eyes turning dark blue, "I'm.Fine." growling a warning. He knew when to back off but in this case, no. "I'm not leaving until you tell me." he hissed. He was standing in front of me now. His gold eyes held such anger in them. I knew I ticked him off but I didn't care. "I just have a bad feeling that's all..." I muttered. His eyes now where curious. "About what?" I looked away from him, "Kaito hasn't sent me a message about anything. I haven't even...Ugh, I don't know anymore..." I lowered my head.

Aura came bouncing in. "Daddy! I think I do da Jutsu now!!" she squealed hugging his leg. Orochimaru rubbed her head, "Aura, go back outside. I need to talk to your mother." she looked confused but trotted out. "What do you want to do?" he looked back at me. My head shot up, "What do you mean?" "If you want to go back to the Demon World then Kabuto can take of Aura while I go with you." I was puzzled why he was actually caring. "Why do you care?" I spat. His snake eyes shone with rage. "Damn it Yukiko! How many times do I have repeat myself?! If you get or killed it will devastate Aura! So, I'm going to protect you since you can't that on your own!!" his raspy voice bellowed.

I flinched. He was right in a way. I had a bad habit of not being able to defend myself. I couldn't find the courage to kill someone... "Okay, listen. If, I go back to the Demon World you have to wield Sharingan. Or other wise you're dead too." I said. He blinked before answering. "Sasuke is almost ready. I suppose I can take his body now. It really doesn't matter. It's only week-" he cut himself off but coughing up blood. I jumped a little. Why did that happen?! I rushed over and cleaned it off with my kimono sleeve. "When did this start?!" he looked up at me, "It's a side effect. My Jutsu causes some sickness before I switch. I get weak and tried easily. Plus coughing up blood. That's the only thing wrong with the Jutsu..." he coughed some again. Blood dripping to the floor. I helped off to the sink. He washed his mouth out and I cleaned off the blood remaining. I felt sorry for him. He wants to be a supreme being and it's only costing him his sanity and health. Note the sarcasm. I brushed his black mane away from his face. I placed my lips gently against his own. I pulled back, not wanting to get him started...

He only smirked and thanked me. I was soon alone in the kitchen. I heard nothing nor no one. I sighed. This is going to be hard...

(Thunder Lands)

Reizu sat proudly on his throne. His dark blue eyes cast down at the wolf demon's below him. "Is everything prepared?" they nodded, sweating bullets. A low laughter erupted from his throat, "Good, good. Now send in Yuki-hime." his hand gestured to the doors. Bowing respectfully they rushed to get Yuki Ookami. Minutes later she came bashing through the double doors. "What do you want now?!" Reizu chuckled, "Just to talk. That's all..." Yuki's coal eyes narrowed. Reizu rose from his mighty chair, "Come, walk with me." she followed, hesitantly. They made their way to the balcony. "You see Yuki-hime, the end of the War is upon us. And we can take the other lands and expand this great land into the most powerful country we've seen in hundreds of years! I regret the treaty that was signed so long ago. The taste of war is so...so...delicious." he licked his lips. "You feel like a god! Indestructible!!" Yuki growled. She hated this man. "Now, Yuki-hime, arrange the invitation to the lovly Yukiko. All royal blood must witness my greatest victory!" Yuki humbled herself for her own sake. "Yes, my Lord Takahiro..."

(Ice Country)

It's been three days since I've seen Sasuke or Orochimaru. It was odd. Well, for this Sasuke kid anyway...I sighed as I looked out the window, it was beautiful today. My gazed returned to space when I felt something in the air. My eyes laid back, fangs bared, and my light eyes turned dark. I shifted my gaze to only see fog outside now. What? It was clear and sunny! Now, it was chilling to the bone, fog...I shivered but continued to stare outside. I released some of my scent and chakra to make my presence known. I hoped I made it clear it was my territory. But no such luck. Out of the fog came a snow white wolf. It's Sharingan ablaze. I noticed a scroll attached to it's collar. I growled and exited my home and entered the fog. I changed into my fox form only smaller. As I neared the wolf I kept my fangs bared and my eyes cold. We stared at one another for at least some period of time until it bit the scroll. It used it's nose to roll over to me. Lowering it's head in respect, it vanished in a lighting blot. I picked up the scroll with my teeth and retreated to my home. When I entered I saw Aura standing there. "Mommy? Chu okay??" she skipped over and pet my head. I licked her hand and transformed back. "Yes darling. I'm fine." I smiled stroking her cheek. She giggled and ran up to her room.

I placed myself on the coach and began to read the text.

"Lady Yukiko, you are invited to have one last battle in order to save the Demon World and your precious Domain. If you lose, I kill you and your Snake bastard, then take the Snow Domain along with the rest of the Demon World. If you win, unlikely, I'll allow you seal me away for all enterinty and destroy the Thunder Lands. It's up to you Lady Yukiko, save your own ass or the Demon World. Don't be a scardy cat. Please, entertain me."

All my love,

Takahiro.

I growled and ripped the scroll to pieces. He's still alive?! Damn him to Hell!! I shot up and ran to find Kabuto. After an hour I finally found him. "Kabuto," I huffed out, "I need you to take care of Aura for me. Orochimaru and I are going to the Demon World." he looked shocked but continued to listen. "If neither of us return, take her to Kaito. Hopefully he's still alive...Okay, if all of us don't mange to live then please, take care of Aura..." he nodded and bowed. "I promise Lady Yukiko." I smiled and went to find Orochimaru.

I searched for what seemed decades until I gave up. I growled in annoyance. Bastard! I knew I couldn't rely on him. I breathed in and began to transform. The snow cleared leaving completely transformed. All eight of my tails twitched in irritation. My ears were laid back and my fangs bared. I let out a roar and raced off.

(Thunder Lands: Lighting Gate)

Reizu or Takahiro rather, awaited for Yukiko to come raging in. He and Yuki stood before the ancient Lighting Gate. "If Yukiko is dumb as I think she is, then, we'll see her soon." Takahiro said, chuckled to himself. Yuki just remained silent. She didn't want to be involved. "Today marks the end and a beginning." Takahiro stated as if he had already won. Come Yukiko. Don't make me wait.

(Ice Country: Ruins)

I dashed through the snow and over the frozen lakes. I was traveling to the ruins up ahead. What lay ahead was the Lighting Gate. Why it was in the Ice Country made no sense to me but, hey, it's a humans world. It's all weird...As I was running I noticed that I wasn't the only one making an attempt at the Gate. It was a raccoon demon. I growled and let out a loud bark. It flinched but kept running. I snorted and picked up the pace. The ruins came into view and the damn demon was ten feet ahead! I gave an ear shattering roar and pounded into the ground. My paws were bleeding but I didn't care. You're probably wondering why I'm anxious to get to the Gate before the other demon. Well, it's said only one demon can get in once every century. That's why I had to outrun the fuzzball.

It had already made it to the Gate. Just as it was opening, I jumped out of the snow and chomped down on it's neck. It let out a scream and struggled in my fangs. I bit down harder. Blood gushing into my mouth. I lifted it off the ground and shook it back and forth, snapping it's brown neck in the process. It lay dead on the ground. I looked to the Gate and jumped in. It was going to end. Here and now!!

Fox: Alrighty! This chapter marks the beginning of the end. Next chapter will be the end. I'm sorry if this sucked monkey...Oh, after this is finished I'm going to update my Hellsing story a lot. I'm going to try and end this story before school. I start the 25th, sorry ppl. See ya at the end!
