Chapter 122: A Horrible Past Unveiled; Death and Betrayal

Nee (Older Sister)

(Eight years since Yukiko's death; by Zera's castle)

It's been eight years since Yukiko's death and it effected those who were close to her like Inuyasha growing from a timid and shy boy to a short tempered, stubborn, hard-headed, brash, and foul mouthed young teenager around the age of 14 years in human years as well as Melody, except that she was even more short-tempered, stubborn, hard-headed, impatient, and foul mouthed than Inuyasha, but retained her kind nature. Sonoko became more wise and stronger than she was since she along with Melody was trained under Zera and Suzame to protect her friends while Inuyasha and Renta were training under Korvo and Kenochi. Right now, we find ourselves by the left of Zera's castle in a sunny mid-afternoon where Inuyasha was sparing against his elder half-brother, Kenochi, who has grown taller as a late teenager in demon terms as Inuyasha charges after him with his claws drawn and tries to slash him, but Kenochi manages to easily dodge every one of Inuyasha's claws. Soon enough, Kenochi kicks Inuyasha's stomach, throwing him to a nearby tree, hitting it on impact.

Kenochi asks, with a sly smile, "Alright, little brother, you're ready to quit?"

Inuyasha yells out, seriously, "Shut up, Ani-ue! I'm not done yet!" Inuyasha charges after Kenochi, bearing his claws, and tries to slash him, but Kenochi keeps dodging him. Inuyasha then places a sly smile and his claws were formed into fists and he bashes his elder half-brother in the chest and face, hard, knocking him away from a bit. Kenochi then quickly recovers and he hits Inuyasha, knocking him down to the ground.

Kenochi says, with a smile, "That was a nice strategy, Inuyasha! Turning your claws into fists and hitting me in the face."

Inuyasha jumps onto his face and he says, with a wide smile, "You think so!"

Kenochi says, with a smile, "Yeah! You've really showed progress in your fighting for the past five years."

Inuyasha says, lowly, "But not as much as Melody-nee! While I'm getting stronger, she's getting stronger too while she's along with So-chan training with Zera-nee and Suzame-onee-chan!"

Kenochi says, with a smile, "But that doesn't mean that it'll stay that way forever! It's just going to be another wall to overcome in time."

Inuyasha says, with a sigh, "I hope so!"

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, "Hey!" Inuyasha and Kenochi turns to see Korvo walking towards them.

Inuyasha says, with a wide smile, "Hey Korvo-onii-chan!"

Korvo says, with a smile, "Do you know where I'll find Zera?"

Kenochi says, plainly, "She's behind the castle!"

Inuyasha asks, curiously, "Are you planning to ask Zera-nee to be your mate?"

Korvo then gains a slight blush on his cheeks and Kenochi then laughs in reply and he says, "That's the idea, right! You're planning on asking her that, right!"

Korvo yells at Kenochi, annoyed, "Be quiet, will you! It's embarrassing to talk about it with anyone else okay!"

Inuyasha says, with a wide smile, "You don't have to be embarrassed about it, Korvo-onii-chan! I'm sure that Zera-nee will say yes to you and if that we're to happen, then you'll officially be my older brother!"

Korvo says, with a smile, "Thank you, Inuyasha." Korvo then walks towards the castle and Kenochi says, with a smile, "Ready to finish sparing, Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha says, with a smile, "Right!"

(Behind the castle; at the same time)

Behind the castle, we find a familiar female figure at the garden admiring it and we get a good look at the female, which appears to be Zera, looking between her young adult years in demon term, with red lipstick on her lips.

Zera says, with a wide smile, "I never cease to be amazed on how my garden is become more beautiful."

Just then, Korvo's voice rings out, lovingly, "But not as beautiful as you, Zera!"

Zera turns to see Korvo, walking towards her, and Zera says, with a loving smile, "You're quite the charmer, Korvo."

Korvo got close to Zera, places his arms around her slender waist, and pulled her to a kiss. Zera returns the kiss with full passion while places her arms around his neck to deepen it. Zera then groans with pleasure and feels Korvo's hands all over her, trying to memorize the shape of her body. Zera breaks the kiss and she says, with a sly smile, "So, I know that you wouldn't come here just for this."

Korvo tells Zera, "Zera, we've been together for eight years and I was wondering if…!"

Just then, a young teenage male voice calls out, "Hey Lady Zera!" The two dog yokai turn to see a young teenage version of Renta walking towards them and they quickly broke out of each other's embraces.

Zera asks, curiously, "Renta, what are you doing here?"

Renta asks, in a plain tone, "Do you know where Melody went to?"

Zera says, with a reply, "She went to get some peaches for the children. As a matter of fact, she should get back here soon since it's almost time for lunch!"

Renta chokes out while getting a slight blush, "Well…I just wanted to let her…know that…well…goodbye!" Without a word, Renta then bursts running off leaving the two dog yokai with bewildered looks on their faces with Zera being the rarest and Zera places a smile on her face.

Korvo asks, looking at Zera's smile, "What is it?"

Zera says, with a smile, "Did you notice that blush on Renta's cheeks when I ask him why he asked me where my sister went to?"

Korvo says, plainly, "Yeah, but don't tell me that Renta is falling for Melody!"

Zera says, with a sly smile, "Didn't you notice it! Ever since Melody has started to 'develop' around her pre-teen years, I've noticed Renta giving her little glances with a slight blush on his face and he stutters when he's talking to her."

Korvo says, plainly, "I knew that Melody was turning into a lovely and pretty young woman, but who knew that she was attaching boys her own age. I also thought that Melody and Renta hated each other!"

Zera says, in a plain tone, "True, but ever since Lady Izayoi and Yukiko-chan died, they've been building up their friendship and Renta's past is somewhat similar to Melody's, except that his human mother was killed by those villagers. He's shown the greatest of hatred towards humans since that day. I just wish that there's something I can do to relieve him of that hatred, but I don't necessarily blame him though."

Korvo says, plainly, "Yeah! Humans fear what they don't understand."

Zera asks, curiously, "Speaking of humans, I hear from Inuyasha and Kenochi that your human aunt is expecting a baby boy."

Korvo says, with a smile, "Yeah! We're trying to find names for the new baby, but we can't think of any! Ever since my uncle died, I've been taking care of her and she's been doing fine lately." Korvo then places a solemn expression and he says, plainly, "And with winter coming, I just hope that she and new born child can make it."

Zera tells Korvo, with a smile, "Well, if they do make it, then there will be a half-demon child to look up to Inuyasha and Melody while calling them Inuyasha-onii-chan and Melody-onee-chan."

Korvo says, with a smile, "Well, that would be real cute."

Zera asks, with a smile, "So, what were you going to ask me, earlier?"

Korvo held back the blush and he says, nervously, "Well…I…the thing is…well…I was wondering…if you'd…like to help us with the name of the expecting child of my aunt!"

Zera was taken back at this and Zera says, plainly, "Oh well…" Zera thought about it for a moment and she says, with a smile, "Well, I thought about it and I thought of it! I think that his name should be Tulles."

Korvo says, perplexed, "Tulles!"

Zera says, with a smile, "Yes! I think that would be an adorable name for the boy!"

Korvo says, with a smile, "Yeah! I think that it would to!" Korvo then thinks in his mind, with a solemn sigh, "Way to go, Korvo! You chickened out! What's wrong with me! I've been practicing it for awhile! I meant to say 'Zera, we've been together for eight years and I was wondering if I could count you?' Oh man! How could it be that hard! I better avoid Suzame until I do actually ask Zera to become my mate or Suzame would kill me for getting all nervous about asking Zera to become my mate!"

(Elsewhere in the forest near Zera's castle; at the same time)

Within the forests, we find a yellow blur dashing through the trees, one by one, and stops on a branch and we take a good look at the blur which turns into Melody, grown into her early teens in demon terms, with her yellow kimono top and hakama pants modified to fit her now flawless and athletic female figure with curves in all the right places for a young female teenage half-demon, eyes slight bit hardened over the years of Zera's training but had a kind glint in her eyes as she did when she was a child and in her right hand was a bag of sorts. Melody looks up in front to see a peach tree in front of her.

Melody's lips were made into a sly grin and she says, slyly, "I glad this is the only one that has ripe peaches for the kids!" Melody jumps onto a branch of the peach tree to begin picking up peaches, one by one. On the meanwhile, Renta appears below the peach tree that he was walking to after picking up Melody's scent. Renta looks up to see her and he smiles, admiring as he watches Melody picking the ripe peaches with a slight blush on his cheeks.

Just then, Melody picks up Renta's scent and looks at him, thinking, "Renta, what's he doing here!" Melody looks closer to Renta's facial expression and she thinks in her mind, with a slight blush, "And why is he looking at me like that! That expression is so cut…Hey, why am I saying that it's cute! It's not cute at all! It's plan creepy!" Melody yells out, seriously, "Hey, you! Why are you looking at me like that!"

Renta quickly got out of his stupor and he says, confused, "Huh!" Melody jumps from the tree and near Renta, making him blush and flustered a bit more as Melody gets near him, and Melody asks, curiously, "I asked why are you looking at me with that creepy look!"

Renta gets more flustered and he yells at her, annoyed, "You're creepy! I came here to tell you that your sister wants you back since the children's lunch is approaching! Besides, creepy and ugly are pretty much the same!"

Melody gets an annoyed look on her face and she brawls out, angrily, "And who are you calling 'creepy'! You're the one, who keeps giving me weird glances for a while!"

Renta yells out, annoyed, "I wasn't looking at you and besides, who'd want to look at an ugly girl like you!" Soon enough, Renta was hit in the face by the bag of peaches that Melody was holding, which knocked him to the ground.

Melody says, with an annoyed snort, "And who'd want to look at a creepy pervert like you!"

Renta yells out, while holding his aching face annoyed, "Who are you calling a pervert!"

Melody exclaims, nastily, "What do you call someone who looks at people weirdly without that person noticing it!"

Renta yells at Melody, angrily, "I was not looking at you!"

Melody yells out, angrily, "Yeah right! I felt your creepy glances on me for a good while!"

Renta jumps onto his feet and he says, in a nasty tone, "If I were to look at you, it would be that you keep getting uglier everyday!" Melody then smashes the bag of peaches onto Renta's head, knocking him down to ground, causing him to groan out in pain.

Melody says, with a snort, "And you keep being a jerk everyday!" Melody then leaves with an annoyed and angered huff while carrying the bag of peaches with her.

Renta groans as he sits up while rubbing his head and he says, winching, "That hurt!"

Just then, a familiar female voice rings out, slyly, "You're not doing such a good job!" Renta whips his head to see Suzame, around her young adult years in demon years, walking towards him.

Renta says, plainly, "Lady Suzame."

Suzame tells Renta, with a sly smile, "You know, Renta-chan, insulting Melody-chan like that since a way to win her heart!"

Renta then gets a blush on his face and he yells out, embarrassed, "Lady Suzame, why would I want to win the heart of that ugly girl!"

Suzame says, with a smile, "You know that's not what you really feel, Renta-chan, and you know it! After all, the boys around your age are interested in courting her and Sonoko-chan when they get older!"

Renta's eyes widened at this and he says, surprised, "They are!"

Suzame says, with a smile, "Of course! I mean Melody-chan's kind, smart, and quite beautiful! I mean who'd doesn't want her!"

Renta says, with a snort, "Most of the demon and human boys! You know how they are, Lady Suzame! They refer us as lowly, disgusting, dirty, and pathetic creatures and abominations!"

Suzame says, rolling her eyes, "I'm not talking about those who are stupid and close-minded, I'm talking about how you should change the way you talk to her!"

Renta says, plainly getting onto his feet, "If I do that, then she'll just call me creepy! Not that I care what she thinks!"

(With Melody; at the same time)

In another part of the forest, near Zera's castle, we find Melody walking with the bag full of peaches on her right shoulder with an annoyed scowl on her face.

Melody thinks in her mind, annoyed, "The nerve of that guy! Still calling me ugly! I'm not ugly! Besides, it's not like I care what he thinks about me anyways!" Melody then sighs a bit solemnly and she thinks in her mind, "What's with that guy! One time, he's nice and other times, he's a jerk! I guess that how guys are! Speaking of guys, ever since I begun my pre-adolescent, So-chan and I have been hit on by many of the boys in the castle, but I could pick up the lust scents from them! Sickening! At least Renta doesn't do that! He's always accepted me for me, though we do get into fights with him being a jerk! He even comforted me when my mother, Megumi, and Holly died when I was a child!"

Just then, a young teenage girl voice calls out, "Mel-chan!" Soon enough, a young teenage Sonoko appears beside her. Sonoko's young teenage look consists on her red hair growing long tied to a high ponytail, she had on a red short kimono that was low cut to see a small to moderate cleavage of her well-developed and curved bust and seductive legs with her tail getting a lot bushier.

Melody says, with a smile, "Hey So-chan!"

Sonoko then picks up Renta's scent on Melody and Sonoko says, slyly, "So, I see that you were hang around with Renta-kun, I see?"

Melody says, with a serious glare and a slight blush, "What are you getting at?"

Sonoko says, with a sly smile, "Oh come on, Mel-chan, it's obvious that he really likes you! The way he looks you with that puppy faced look."

Melody says, with a snort, "Then, why does he call me ugly! Not that I care about what he thinks of me! I don't like that poor excuse of a man anyways!"

Just then, Melody and Sonoko picks up a scent with their noses and Sonoko tells her, "Mel-chan, I'm picking up the scent of blood coming this way!"

Melody says, seriously, "Me too!" Just then, the heard a thumping sound and they turned to see a young teenage male wolf hanyou on the ground with blood all over his green kimono top and green pants.

Sonoko calls out, horrified, "Hajji-kun!"

Melody tells Sonoko, in a serious tone, "So-chan, get my sister fast!" Sonoko then runs off to get Zera and Melody rushes over to Hajji's badly damaged form. Melody crutches down, places him in her arms, and Melody calls out, "Hajji-kun! Hang on! My sister is coming! Who did this to you!"

Hajji looks at Melody and he says, in a dying breath with a slight blush, "Me…lo…dy-chan! A priestess! A priestess did this to me…! She used some weird spear and hit me with it!" Soon enough, Hajji's life was extinguished as he died in Melody's arms.

Melody yells out, pleadingly, "Hajji-kun! Wake up! Hajji-kun!" Just then, Inuyasha, Zera, Korvo, Sonoko, and Kenochi appear around her and Inuyasha asks, curiously, "Melody-nee, what's…!" Inuyasha then sees Hajji's dead form in his sister's arms and Inuyasha yells out, horrified, "Hajji, what happened to him!"

Melody says, horrified, "He's dead!"

Zera asks, in a serious tone, "Who did this to him?"

Melody says, with a reply while small tears came from her eyes, "It was a priestess! He told me a priestess did this to him!" Just then, Renta and Suzame came running to the scene and they gasp in shock of this.

Renta calls out, horrified, "Hajji!" Renta runs over to Melody, grabs Hajji's dead body from her arms and Renta calls out, in a pleading tone, "Hajji! Wake up! Who did this to you! Hajji! Not again! Not again! Not again!" Renta then sobs onto Hajji's chest while the others look at him with solemn glances.

Sonoko says, solemnly, "Renta-kun!"

Kenochi tells Sonoko, in a plain tone, "Can you blame him, Sonoko? Hajji was his best friend almost like a brother to him! Like his human mother, Hajji was like a family member to Renta and having to lose him to defeat is similar to how he lost his mother!"

Inuyasha says, solemnly, "I can relate! We lost our mother and sisters long ago as well Yuki-chan too!"

Melody was watching Renta sobbing onto Hajji's chest while screaming 'Not again' and 'It's not fair' and Melody says, lowly, "Renta…!" Melody could understand what emotions that Renta was feeling, having to lose your best friend that was like a sibling to him and Melody stands up then dashes away.

Korvo calls out, "Melody, where are you going!"

Melody stops and she tells Korvo, seriously, "What does it look like, Korvo-onii-chan! I'm going to find this priestess and avenge Hajji-kun's death! I've got a lock on her scent, I'll find her!"

Kenochi says, seriously, "Melody, you stop this! You don't have the skills necessary to carry out that task!"

Melody turns to her older half-brother and she exclaims, seriously, "But we can't stay here and do nothing, Ani-ue! It wasn't fair that Hajji died by the hands of a human!"

Zera tells Melody, in a serious tone, "Melody, if you want to avenge Hajji's death, then I think I may know of a method, but only females can only know this. It won't do any good should a male know about this when it's underdeveloped. Come with me, you too, Suzame and Sonoko!" Zera then turns and walks away with Suzame, Melody, and Sonoko following her in the castle.

Inuyasha asks, curiously, "I wonder what they could be doing!"

(Within the castle; sometime later)

Inside Zera's room in her castle, we find her walking into a closet with Suzame, Sonoko, and Melody looking at her as she takes out an old Spellbook of sorts from there and turns to them with it.

Melody asks, curiously, "Ane-ue, what's that!"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "Melody, do you remember the story that I told you about the Millennium Items!"

Melody says, plainly, "You mean where King Atem used to rule over Egypt during the days of the Shadow Games!"

Zera says, with a nod, "Indeed! There's a main reason why half-demons are hated among demons! You see, during Pharaoh Atem's days there were four dog hanyou twins in his court and they were his childhood friends! Their names were Taigoku, Akira, Sestuna, and Kasa! Sestuna was the oldest child, Taigoku was the second oldest, Akira was the third child, and Kasa was the youngest child! They were the most powerful hanyous of the world and demons feared them for their power! One day, while Pharaoh Atem was battling against Zorc the Dark One, Taigoku and his sisters along with a powerful Egyptian Princess and her beloved, a powerful Chinese Prince battled with the most evil force in the universe, the Light of Destruction."

Sonoko says, seriously, "You told us the stories about it! It's an evil being made out of impure light and negative energy from a place called the white hole and existed since the dawn of time!"

Zera says, with a serious tone, "That's right, Sonoko-chan! However, the four dog hanyous along with the Egyptian Princess and Chinese Prince fell in battle and legend states that one day, the four dog hanyous will be reincarnated and the reincarnations will be known as the 'Chosen Hanyous'. When that time comes, then the day when humans and demons will live together in harmony will be approaching. However, demons didn't like that idea and started to hate all half-demons, while considering them as garbage and trash!"

Melody yells out, angrily, "Was that the reason why demons hate us! Because of some legend!"

Zera says, with a nod, "That's right, Melody! What I have in my hand was something I found before any of you were born. I showed this to our father and he was surprised to the discovery. He encouraged me to keep it and he told me and Kenochi about the legend and what I have in my hand is a Spellbook of a magic that surpasses regular priestess magic called Demonic Priestess Magic! It was made by Sestuna and her elder half-sister, Runo, while their days in the court of Pharaoh Atem."

Sonoko says, amazed, "That's pretty neat!"

Zera says, with a smile, "With this, we could avenge Hajji's death! I've only mastered quite a bit of it, but I'm not quite done with it yet! I could teach you two the steps for you to use them and their spells! Where do you think how to use my demonic aura into a weapon and how I was able to taught you two the attacks involving using demonic auras as weapon!"

Melody says, with a wide smile, "That's amazing, Ane-ue! With those spells, we'll have the advantage!"

Zera says, with a smile, "We'll get to work on it, tomorrow morning. Now, it's time for the children's lessons! Melody, Sonoko-chan, you two will help me along with Inuyasha and Renta."

Melody and Sonoko say in unison, with nods, "Right!"

(In the forests; the night after the day of the death of Hajji)

Within the forest by the tree, we find Renta sitting under the shade with tear stained marks on his face after crying for the death of his best friend, Hajji. Earlier, Hajji was buried next to Yukiko and after the burial Renta was pretty distant towards everyone else. Renta then picks up a familiar scent coming toward him and he turns to see Melody with a concerned look on her face.

Renta says, wiping the tears from his face, "What do you want?"

Melody says, while rolling her eyes, "Even if you wipe your tears, I can pick the scent of your tears." Melody then sits near Renta, making him slightly blush a bit.

Renta says, with a snort, "So, you came here to make fun of me or something?"

Melody says, in a plain tone, "Actually, believe or not, I came here, because I care."

Renta says, looking at Melody quizzing, "You do?"

Melody says, looking away with a slight blush, "Well, you haven't talked to any of us all day and everyone else is worrying about you. Besides, you look like you need someone to talk to about these things."

Renta asks Melody, curiously, "You do?"

Melody tells him, plainly, "Well, when my mother and sisters as well as Yuki-chan died, I was overcome with grief and Yuki-chan took that hit that was meant for me. I'm still haunted by her death as well as the feeling that I felt when I killed that priestess and those humans. I almost felt that I was giving that priestess what she deserved for killing my best friend. When I saw Yuki-chan die, I felt angry and hurt as well as hatred toward the priestess that killed her. I still haven't found my mother's murderers yet, but one day, they'll pay for taking her away from me! I know how you must fell, Renta, Hajji didn't deserve to die and neither did Yuki-chan or my mother."

Renta says, in a low angered tone, "I know. It's one of the reasons why I hate humans so much! Even though, I was too young, I still remembered what they did to my human mother as well as Hajji's human father too! They were really sick and Hajji and I went to the headmaster's hut to make them feel better and he agreed, but they were getting worse and worse until they died. My demon father and Hajji's demon mother were all killed in battle while fighting with your father." Renta then says, while croaking and shedding tears, "We found out that it was all a plot to have us kill with my mother and Hajji's father out of the way, so they chased us out the village and as Lady Zera and Lady Suzame chased them away, we swore that one day that they'll pay for what they did!" Renta then breaks down and he exclaims, sobbing, "I hate humans! I really hate humans! They hate us for something that wasn't even our fault! My mother didn't deserve to die! Hajji's father didn't deserve to die! Yukiko-chan didn't deserve to die! Hajji didn't deserve to die!" Seeing him like this, Melody was starting to feel sorry for him and admiring him for telling her his feelings. Soon enough, Renta felt Melody's arms wrapped around him and he looks up to find Melody's golden eyes looking at him with concern and caring from them. Melody says, with a caring smile, "Renta, if you want, you can cry on my shoulder. Even though, you're a guy, you still can't hold in your feelings as a living being."

In normal circumstances, Renta would have rejected this with a blush, but this time, he couldn't. He knew that Melody understands his pain and suffering as a fellow half-demon and he wraps his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him, and lay his face on her right shoulder then sobs, quietly. With Renta's arms around her waist, Melody had a bit hue on her cheeks as her arms were wrapped around his shoulders, but quickly shook it off. The two hanyous stayed like this for a while in each other's arms while breathing in each other's scents. They pulled from each other while their arms still wrapped around each other and Renta says, with a sly smile, "You know, we're supposed to hate each other."

Melody says, with a sly grin, "Yeah! I wonder why this is happening." Soon enough, Renta stares into Melody's golden eyes and Renta's brown eyes as their lips met in a passionate kiss which lasted for several minutes and they broke apart for air. They were still mesmerized by each other's eyes, the kissed again with more passion. Renta bit playfully on her lower lip and caused Melody to moan a little as he then placed his tongue in between her lips, forcing them apart and licked her teeth. He tried to pry open her mouth be forcing his tongue between her teeth, but it didn't work. He tried again, succeeding this time and for the first time their tongues met. They strengthen their hold on each other as they kissed passionately for ten long minutes and broke the kiss, looking at each other.

Melody says, with a sly grin while playing with Renta's hair, "I thought that I was the 'ugly one'."

Renta says, with a sly smile, "And I was the 'creepy one'." Melody then presses her lips onto Renta's for third passionate kiss with Renta returning it with equal force and his hands were feeling Melody's slim waist, trying to memorize her body's feel, causing Melody to blush and moan at his touch. Soon enough, they lost their senses as Melody begins to feel Renta's lips leave her own and went to her neck, kissing it. She gasps in pleasure as Renta was hungrily kissing her neck and gently lowers her down to the forest ground on her back.

Melody moans out in pleasure, "Renta…if…you…stop what you're doing…I swear…that I'll kill you…!" Melody then feels Renta's lips form in a sly smile on her neck as he keeps sucking it while leaving little bite marks. Melody then starts to play with Renta's dog ears, causing him to moan in pleasure as she feels Renta's hands moving from her slender form up and down and starts to massage and fondling her left breast, causing Melody to gasp in surprise by this action. Soon enough, Melody gently pushes Renta off of her and sitting up after coming to her senses as well as Renta as he quickly let's go of her breast which causes Melody to cover her chest with her arms.

Renta says, with a blush, "Sorry, about that! I guess that I got carried away!"

Melody says, with a slight blush, "I know! I should be the one that's sorry, Renta. I…well…liked what you did with my neck a lot that and I got carried away. I was supposed to comfort you and I sort of took advantage of you."

Renta says, with a bit nervous tone, "Actually…you didn't…! I…actually…to…"

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, seriously, "You care to finish that sentence, Renta!" The two hanyous yelp in shook to see Inuyasha looking down at them with a serious glare.

Melody says, with a nervous smile, "Hey bro!"

Inuyasha says, in a plain tone, "Zera-nee wanted me to find you two and tell you that it's time to make the kids their dinners."

Renta says, as he and Melody got on their feet, "Yeah, we better head back!"

Melody says, with a nod, "Right!" Soon enough, Melody runs off with Renta following her, but Inuyasha grabs the back of Renta's kimono top and he calls out to his sister, "Hey Melody-nee, would you go up ahead, we'll catch up! Just need to talk to Renta for a few seconds!"

Melody says, with a nod, "Okay!" Melody then runs off to the direction of Zera's castle and Inuyasha then turns to Renta with a serious glare, asking, "You mind explaining to me what went on between you and my sister?"

Renta says, with a nervous smile, "What do you mean, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha says, with a serious glare, "I could pick up her scent mixed up with yours! I better not hear that you've been taking advantage of her!"

Renta tells Inuyasha, nervously, "No way! I would never do that!"

Inuyasha says, with a serious tone, "You better not otherwise, you'll pay for it!" With that, Inuyasha left following his sister while leaving Renta, who had a nervous expression on his face, behind and Renta soon followed him.

(In a far away place in Japan; sometime later that evening)

In an eerie green Japanese castle, we find one of the enemies that our heroes and heroines are facing in the present, Dartz, sitting down in front of a large tablet with three snake statues with open mouths in front of him and Dartz is kneeling down like he is praying.

Just then, there was a knock on the door and Dartz exclaims, opening his eyes, "Come in!" Soon enough, the door had slid open and coming in was a female figure. This female is a female version of Inuyasha and looked like the same age in demon terms, with her long silver hair tied to a ponytail with two Chinese buns, golden eyes similar to Inuyasha's and she wore an orange short kimono which is low cut that showed a small cleavage for her well-developed, shaped, and curved bust with the lower part of her kimono stopped towards the top of her kneecaps, which showed her well toned and seductive legs, with a red ribbon wrapped around her slender feminine waist to hold the kimono in place. Her clawed feet had sandals surrounding them and her claws are the same size as the young teenaged Inuyasha.

Dartz asks the young dog demon, "Lady Megumi, what may I owe this visit?"

Megumi gets on her knees and he says, while bowing, "Master Dartz, I was wondering if I'd like to travel the world with your permission, of course?"

Dartz asks, curiously, "What would you do that?"

Megumi tells Dartz, in a serious tone, "I'd like to see the world and I've been in these castle walls ever since you brought me in when I was a small child and I'd like the chance to find my family. Thanks to you, I remember them now and I would like to see them."

Dartz says, with a plain tone, "I see. You would like to be reunited with them."

Megumi says, looking at him, "If I may, sir!"

Dartz says, with a nod, "Very well, my dear! I'll give you the chance! However, once you find them, please, bring them to me! I would like to meet them!"

Megumi says, with a wide smile, "I will! Thank you, sir!" Megumi then gets on her feet and walks towards the door and as it closes on Megumi's way out, Dartz places an evil sinister smile on his lips. Soon enough, a silhouette of a female figure is shown in the wall and the female figure asks, curiously, "Master Dartz, does that half-breed brat knows the truth, yet?"

Dartz says, with an evil smile, "Not at all, my dear! You're free to go on your revenge."

The female figure says, with a sinister tone, "Thank you, sir! You have no idea how long I've waited to take revenge on that half-breed for what she did to my sister! I will not fail this!" Soon enough, the female silhouette disappears from site and Dartz says, with an evil smile, "Excellent, everything is set in motion! It's good when a plan comes together! All I have to do is sit back and wait!"

(Back in Zera's castle; at the same time)

In front of Zera's castle, we find Korvo pacing in circles with a nervous expression on his face, thinking of ways of asking Zera to be his mate.

Korvo says, in a plain tone, "This shouldn't be hard, but what if she rejects me."

Just then, a familiar female voice rings out, "Who rejects?" Korvo whips his head to see Zera walking towards him and Korvo says, surprised, "Zera!"

Zera asks, curiously, "Who rejects who, Korvo?"

Korvo says, looking away with a slight hue on his face, "Well…you see…! Why don't we sit over to the stairs?" Zera nods her head and she is led by Korvo as she sits on top of the stairs with Korvo sitting with her.

Korvo says, with a slight nervous tone, "Zera…I was…wondering that if…since…we've been together for eight years…and I was wondering…if…if…if you'd like…to be…my…"

Zera says, finishing for Korvo, "…mate." Korvo turns to Zera with a surprised expression on his face and he says, nervously, "Yes."

Zera says, with a loving smile, "Well, to answer that question." Zera then moves closer to Korvo, presses her lips onto his, kissing him passionately while placing her hands onto his well-developed chest which was covered by his kimono top. Zera breaks the kiss and asks him, with a loving seductive tone and smile unlike her, "Does that answer your question?"

Korvo says, with a loving smile, "I really like that answer and I love you, Zera."

Zera says, lovingly, "And I love you too, Korvo!" Soon enough, the two of them kissed passionately as Zera moves her arms around Korvo's neck, deepening the kiss, and Korvo placed his arms around Zera's waist and legs carrying her bridal style as he stands up, surprising her by this and she giggles loving as Korvo walks over to her room, slide opening her door, steps inside, closes the door, and lays her on her back on her futon. Soon enough, Korvo went to claim Zera's red lips with his and Zera returns the kiss with equal passion while she puts her hands onto the sides of Korvo's neck. While their 'make out' session, the two dog yokais had their tongues 'wrestled' causing Zera to moan in pleasure as she gracefully glides her hands on his chest down to the buckle of his kimono top, unties it, and Korvo helps her remove it places it to the ground, to see his well-developed chest. Korvo then begins to hungrily kiss and suck Zera's neck and collarbone, causing her to gasp in shock by this action.

While doing this, Korvo unties Zera's ribbon to her sliver hair, making it fall down completely to the floor and Zera thinks in her mind, while gasping in pleasure, "Oh Kami, I don't think I'll ever stop loving him!" Soon enough, Korvo's right hand was gliding all over Zera's body, memorizing the feel of it wanting to touch her skin so badly as he stops right above Zera's right breast that was covered by her low cut short kimono. Zera gasps in surprise as she feels her bosom being fondled and massaged and she arches her back have it fondled even more. Soon enough, Korvo then moves his lips down to the cleavage of Zera's bust, kissing and sucking it causing Zera to groan and moan in pleasure, arching her back more to have more of her cleavage opened to be kissed as she feels Korvo's tongue in between her breasts causing Zera to moan even louder. Soon after, Korvo's left hand moves to Zera's back to find the buckle of the ribbon keeping her kimono together, he then pulls the ribbon, untying it, causing Zera's kimono to become loose, pulling it off her body, exposing her well-developed and curved voluptuous breasts to him, but covering her lower body. Korvo then pulls back and looks at them with a sly smile making Zera uncharacteristically blush. Then, Korvo lowers his head down to her chest, wraps his lips around her right nipple, sucking it.

The feeling electrified Zera from the inside as she feels Korvo's tongue gliding on it causing her to moan in pleasure and placing her fingers inside the silkiness of his long black hair. Zera says, in a pleasure filled moan, "K…Korvo…please…don't…stop…!"

Hearing Zera's moan was like a beautiful siren's voice to Korvo's ears as he kept sucking her nipple hungrily while placing his right hand onto Zera's left breast, fondling it causing her to groan and moan even louder. Zera pressed Korvo's head to her chest as he continues to suck even harder while pinching her left nipple and Zera arched her back to get her bosom into Korvo's mouth even more.

Just then, a female child's voice calls out, "Lady Zera!" Soon enough, Zera came back to her world when she heard the voice and Zera says, in a whisper, "Korvo…! Stop!" Korvo, however, was in his own world while he was continuing to giving her breasts an oral manipulation. Zera tells Korvo, in a serious whisper tone, "Korvo, please stop!" Zera then growls softly in annoyance as she twisted Korvo's left ear, causing to yelp in pain as he lets go of Zera and she stares at him with an annoyed expression.

Korvo says, winching while holding his left ear, "What was that for!"

Zera says, with a mock glare, "Well, if you hadn't noticed one of the children's scents are coming over here and should we let them see what we're doing, then we'll have to explain it to them and I would rather wait until their old enough to know what the stages of mating are."

Korvo growls in annoyance knowing that Zera was right and he goes to get his kimono top, while saying, huskily, "You owe me!"

Zera says, while rolling her eyes as she places her kimono back on, "Sure!" Soon enough, the door opens to find a young female dragon hanyou child with long blue hair, red eyes, and wearing a brown kimono with a confused expression. Zera asks her, kindly, "Is there something you need, dear?"

The dragon hanyou child asks, curiously, "Lady Zera, I heard moaning and groaning in here! Is everything okay!"

Korvo and Zera blush at that, knowing what she was talking about and Korvo says, with a nervous smile, "There's nothing going on here! Everything's okay, sweetie! Now, why don't you go back to bed!"

The dragon hanyou child says, worriedly, "I can't, Korvo-onii-chan! I'm scared! I had a bad dream!"

Zera asks, curiously, "What happened with my sister, brothers, Renta-onii-chan, Sonoko-onee-chan, and Lady Suzame!"

The dragon hanyou child says, plainly, "Inuyasha-onii-chan, Renta-onii-chan, and Kenochi-onii-chan snore too loudly and Melody-onee-chan and Sonoko-onee-chan are up practicing something while Lady Suzame isn't back yet! Lady Zera, can I stay with you!"

Zera says, with a kind smile, "Of course! You can stay here with me for the night!" Korvo gave Zera a surprised look, wanting to continue their mating, but a death glare from Zera was enough to keep him back.

The dragon hanyou child says, with a beaming smile, "Thank you, Lady Zera!" The dragon hanyou rushes over to Zera's futon, jumps inside Zera's arms, as Korvo walks outside with a disappointment look on his face.

Korvo sighs and he thinks in his mind, "Why am I so annoyed with that child! What kid wouldn't get scared from a nightmare! Oh well, it's nothing to get all bent out of shape for! It's just Zera's nature to look after those hanyou children since they have no one to turn to in the world!"

(Outside in the forest; the next morning)

Within the forest in the next morning, we find Inuyasha and Kenochi walking through with arm filled of tree logs with Kenochi carrying twice as much as Inuyasha with him being a full demon.

Kenochi tells Inuyasha, with a sly smile, "I heard that Melody and Renta were together last night."

Inuyasha says, in a plain tone, "As long as Renta treats her right, then I don't give a damn, Ani-ue."

Kenochi asks, curiously, "Hey aren't you and Melody going to visit Milo-chan today!"

Inuyasha says, with a smile, "Yeah! We haven't seen her in a good while and I think that we should pay her a visit."

Kenochi tells Inuyasha, "Be careful, Inuyasha. She's from the Neko clan, our enemy, and they may pick up your scent and think that you're an enemy."

Inuyasha says, with a sigh, "I know, Ani-ue! I'm not a little kid anymore!" Soon after, Inuyasha and Kenochi appear in front of Zera's castle and set the logs near the castle as Melody comes and jumps from the stairs with Sonoko following her.

Sonoko says, with a kind smile, "Good morning, Inu-chan!"

Melody says, with a smile, "We're going to Milo-chan's village to see her!"

Kenochi tells them, "Be careful, you three!"

Melody says, with a smile, "We will, Ani-ue!" Soon enough, Inuyasha and the girl hanyous jump towards the trees with great agility and away from the castle.

(Getting close to the Nekita Village; a few hours later)

Almost near to the Nekita Village, we find Inuyasha and the girl hanyous, Melody and Sonoko, jumping from the trees and to near the front of the Nekita Village.

Sonoko says, with a smile, "I can't wait until we should Milo-chan the moves that we learned from your sister."

Melody says, with a smile, "I know! She'll get totally jealous!"

Just then, a young female teenaged voice calls out, "Get away from this village, dogs! Raging Blaze!" Just then, a big fireball appears out of nowhere and the three canine hanyous quickly jumps out of the way to dodge it and soon enough, many figures appear in front of them. As the smoke disappears, they find many cat-like demons in front of them with weapons like spears and katanas.

One of the cat-like demons yells out, nastily, "Get out here, mutts! You're not welcome here!"

Inuyasha says, in a serious tone, "We're not here to start any trouble!"

Sonoko says, seriously, "Yeah! We're here to see our friend, NekitaKariba!"

Just then, a gruff male voice calls out, "What do you know about my daughter!" Soon enough, a cat like humanoid with red fur and green narrowed eyes and wearing a similar armor as Inu no Taishou in his humanoid form appears with a young teenaged NekitaKariba following him.

Melody says, with a smile, "Hey Milo-chan, I'm glad that to see…!"

NekitaKariba says, in a low nasty tone, "And who are you calling 'Milo-chan', you disgusting mutt!" The three canine hanyous were taken back by NekitaKariba's tone and Sonoko says, perplexed, "What are you talking about! We're your friends!"

NekitaKariba gives the three canine hanyous harsh and nasty filled glares with a hint of sadness in them and NekitaKariba says, in a snarl, "Friends! Why would I call nasty dogs like you three, my friends!"

Inuyasha says, slightly hurt from NekitaKariba's harsh words, "Milo-chan, why are…!"

The cat demon with NekitaKariba steps in front of her and he says, with a sneer, "I think that you three should leave or I will kill you! My daughter does not know you!"

Another cat demon yells out, nastily, "Yeah! Like Lord Miyake says! You're not wanted here so get lost!"

Melody says, walking closer to NekitaKariba, "Milo-chan, I…!"

NekitaKariba yells at Melody, in a harsh and nasty tone, "What part of get lost didn't you understand, you disgusting poodle!" NekitaKariba then throws another fireball at Melody, but she dodges it, and jumps back to her brother and friend.

Sonoko yells out, horrified, "Why are you attacking us!"

NekitaKariba says, in a flat and frosty tone, "Isn't it obvious, fox! You're the enemy and I just hate canines so much that I just want to kill them. Now, how much do you understand that! Now, get lost!" NekitaKariba then throws another fireball at the three canine hanyous and they dodged them and soon enough, she fires multiple fireballs at them, causing them to run off to the forest with broken hearts.

After NekitaKariba stops firing, Miyake says, placing a hand on his daughter's right shoulder, "Nice work, NekitaKariba! You've done well to make me and this village proud!"

NekitaKariba says, turning to her father with a smile, "Thank you, father!"

Miyake says, with a smile, "Now, let's go back to the village! I think that a celebration is in order!" Soon enough, the cat demons walks back to the village with NekitaKariba following them while looking back at the direction where Inuyasha, Melody, and Sonoko ran to with a sad expression, thinking, while tears came down her eyes, "I'm so sorry, you three, but I had to do it! It was killing me from the inside when I had to do that! Believe me, I was hurting too and I don't blame you three if you never forgive me!"

(With the three canine hanyous; at the same time)

Far away from the Nekita Village, we find Inuyasha, Melody, and Sonoko getting away further from the village with their hearts broken from their reunion with their former best friend and they stopped at a clearing knowing that they're far enough.

Sonoko falls on her knees while Melody slides down on the trees in distraught and Sonoko says, with tears coming down her eyes, "Why! Why did Milo-chan say all those words!"

Melody says, in a distraught tone, "And why did she attack us! She was our friend! How could she turn on us like that!"

Inuyasha says, in a solemn tone, "The way that she looked at us is the same way that the humans looked at us for years. Milo-chan didn't even…she didn't even…she came close to killing us."

Sonoko says, solemnly, "So what do we do now! We've lost Hajji-kun and now, Milo-chan!"

Melody says, standing up in an angered tone, "Well, if she wants to be that way then, fine! Forget her!"

Inuyasha tells Melody, stunned, "But she's our friend!"

Melody says, seriously, "Inuyasha, she attacked us without any sense of mercy! That was no friend as for as I'm concerned, she's no longer our friend!"

Sonoko asks, worriedly, "You think that it's that easy, Mel-chan! She was like a sister to us! It's like the Milo-chan that we know is dead and can never come back!"

Inuyasha says, in a heartbroken tone, "Yeah! It does!"

(In front of Zera's castle; in the mid-afternoon)

Around the front of Zera's castle, we find Inuyasha, Melody, and Sonoko returning towards the castle only to find Kenochi and Zera coming out of the castle with Suzame and Korvo coming from the side and noticed them coming.

Suzame asks, curiously, "Hey guys, what's with the long face?" The three canine hanyous look at each other nervously and solemnly and Inuyasha says, solemnly, "Suzame-onee-chan, we went to Milo-chan's village and we find out that…Milo…is…dead."

Korvo says, horrified, "Milo is dead!"

Sonoko says, with tears, "That's right, Korvo-onii-chan! Milo-chan's dead! Her fellow cat demons didn't want us to come to her funeral and chased us away!"

Zera says, in a horrified tone, "I'm so sorry to hear about that!"

Suzame says, in an angered tone, "Is it the same priestess that killed Hajji-chan!"

Melody says, with a nod, "Yeah! It is!"

Kenochi says, in a distraught tone, "But why! Milo-chan did nothing wrong to deserve this!"

Zera says, in an angered tone, "I'm just tempted to find the priestess that did this and give her what she deserves!"

Suzame says, in an angered tone, "Not just that priestess, Zera, but ever other priestess around! They go around and killing innocent demons and half-demons, because of ignorant humans! The only human that's decent is Lady Izayoi!"

Just then, Renta's voice calls out, "Hey!" Everyone turns to see a Renta walking with a dead body of a horse hanyou in his arms which was a horrifying to them.

Kenochi says, horrified, "Another too!"

Suzame says, stunned, "How did this happen!"

Renta says, in a serious tone, "In his last breath, this guy told me that it was done by the same priestess that killed Hajji."

Inuyasha asks, seriously, "Hey Renta, do you know where the priestess went?"

Renta says, shaking his head, "No! I just picked this guy up and the scent of the priestess that did this disappeared!"

Melody says, in a snarl, "I'm starting to hate priestesses in general! They're nothing but animals!"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "Let's get him buried with the other ones!" Soon enough, the group walks inside the castle to bury the horse hanyou.

(In the early evening; within one of the trees)

Within one of the trees in the forest, we find Melody sitting on a grassy part of the tree that she's in with a distraught look on her face, still upset with the events that happened with NekitaKariba.

Just then, Renta's voice calls out, "Melody!" Melody then whips her head to see Renta walking towards her and sits with her.

Renta says, solemnly, "I heard that Milo-chan was killed by that dirty priestess!"

Melody says, looking away, "Well…it feels…like she was killed…!"

Renta looks at Melody and he says, perplexed, "What do you mean by that?"

Melody grabs onto Renta's kimono, buries her face into it, and she says, sobbing, "She betrayed us, Renta!"

Renta says, horrified, "Betrayed us! What do you mean!"

Melody tells Renta, solemnly, "Earlier today, Inuyasha, So-chan, and I went her village to see her, but she, her father, and those other cat demons came and attacked us! She even attacked us without any sense of mercy or remorse!"

Renta was distraught when he heard this and he says, horrified, "I can't believe this!"

Melody cries out, angrily, "I didn't even know why we even lied to Ane-ue about her 'death'." Melody then continues to sobbing majorly onto Renta's chest and Melody says, solemnly, "I don't understand it! She was our best friend and fellow half-demon! She was like a sister to me and she betrayed us! I don't understand this! I hate her now! I fucking hate her!" On the meanwhile in a far distance behind a tree, we find NekitaKariba hearing the words from Melody's mouth with her acute hearing, stating that she now hated her which hurt her straight to the heart.

NekitaKariba thinks in her mind, with tears coming down her eyes, "Oh Mel-chan, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for you to hate me that much! I didn't mean for you cry! How can I show my face to her now! I bet that Inu-chan and So-chan feel the same way too! I can never face them ever again! I'm sorry, my friends! I'm so sorry!" NekitaKariba then runs off, back to the direction of her village, with tears running down her eyes, heartbroken. Within the tree, Melody was crying on Renta's chest as Renta wraps his arms around her, pulling her close to him.

Renta says, lowly, "Oh Melody, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Melody says, croakily, "I'm losing more and more of my friends! I even told Inuyasha long ago that emotions will get in the way of our survival and here I am being emotional! I really hate being human!"

Renta says, plainly, "Melody, that's not true! You still have me!" Melody then looks at Renta with a tear stained face and Renta says, with a smile, "You still have me!"

Melody looks Renta's brown eyes and saw no sign of lying and Melody asks him, pleadingly, "Renta, please…tell me…that you…promise…never…leave me. I…don't…know what I'd do."

Renta says, looking at Melody's golden eyes, "Melody, I promise that I'll never leave you."

Melody asks, in a low pleading tone, "Say it again."

Renta says, plainly, "Melody, I promise that I'll never leave you…!" Melody then cuts him off by pressing her lips to his in a passionate kiss, slightly surprising him, and the same feelings that Renta experienced in his first kiss with Melody came back to him and he slid his right arm around her lower back and then his left hand drifting up her back to tangle in her long silver hair as he returned her kiss with a passion equaling hers. Renta pulled her bottom lip between his, sucking on it as he bathed the warm plumpness. As he released her lip, Renta felt her leg up to slide along his side, allowing her to straggle his lower thighs in her perched position.

Renta glide his tongue slid back and forth along Melody's lips, asking her to let him in. He felt her lips part slowly and hesitantly as her mouth opened, giving him a small opening. It was enough for his tongue to enter and entice her tongue into playing with his, which she took the bait. Melody then grabs Renta's head, pressing his head towards her, allowing her to taste his mouth.

Melody thinks in her mind, with a blush, "Wow…Renta's mouth tastes so good…! Almost like blueberries!" Soon enough, they broke apart for air with Renta gasping for air as if he had forgotten how to breathe.

Melody says, with a sly enticing smile unlike her, "What's the matter, Renta? You act as if this is your first time kissing."

Renta says, with a sly smile, "Well, I'll show you." Renta then moves to Melody's lips, kissing her back with full force and he gentle lower her back to the softness of the leaves of the tree as he feels Melody's legs wrapped around him as Melody kissed him back with equal force. Renta had his hands wonder all over Melody's body, getting her aroused as he leaves her lips and to her neck. Melody gasps as she opens her eyes as Renta kept sucking on her neck, hungrily, and remembers what happened last time that they did this. But this time, it was different and Melody says, softy, "Renta…!"

Renta stopped what he was doing and looked down at Melody, asking, "Am I going to fast again?"

Melody looks at Renta with a confused look on her face which got an annoyed scowl on her face, telling him, "Idiot, who told you to stop?"

Renta says, perplexed, "But last time…" Melody then gently grabs Renta's right hand and places the whole hand onto her left breast, catching him by surprise.

Melody says, with a sly seductive smile and tone, "We don't have to go all the way yet." Melody then pulls him down and kisses him urgently, her hands running down his chest, feeling his well-built body, abs and all. Renta's lips left her as he trailed hot kisses down her neck, hungrily while fondling her breast, causing Melody to moan in pleasure as she feels Renta's fingers pinching her left nipple through her kimono top, sending pleasure filled shivers down her spine. Renta reached for the sash to her kimono top, unties it, throws it away, and slides the top away to reveal her white inner kimono, which was low cut to reveal a small cleavage. Renta then claims Melody's lips with his own and Melody's hands wondered around his chest to his sash to his kimono top, untie it, and pull it off of him, revealing a well-built chest without a flab of fat on it, making her slightly blush at the sight.

Renta says, with a sly and seductive tone, "You like what you see!"

Melody says, with a sly smile, "What do you think!" Melody moves up to press her lips to Renta's neck, sending pleasurable feelings down to his spine while gliding her hands to feel his bare chest, causing him to moan. Renta tells Melody, with a pleasurable moan, "Oh wow! Melody…you're…pretty good at this."

When Melody stops, she tells Renta, in a whisper to his right dog ear, "Well, I can't have you have all the fun now, can I?"

After pulling her to sitting position, Renta asks Melody, with a loving tone and smile, "Melody, you don't mind if I could court you as my mate when we get older?"

Melody looks at Renta and she says, in confusion, "You want me to be your mate. Just a while back, we hated each other and now, this happens."

Renta tells Melody, with a smile, "Well, just to let you know, I never really hated you. The thing is that I saw a side of you that I didn't think that existed. You're smart, kind, strong, and quite beautiful."

Melody had a slight hue on her face and she says, lowly and with a smile, "You think that I'm beautiful."

Renta says, with a loving smile, "Yes like a loving angel."

Melody says, with a slight blush and smile, "Wow Renta, I never knew you thought of me like that. Well, I've kind of developed feelings for you back then when I didn't want to admit it since we just fought endlessly with you being a jerk and all. I guess that after Hajji-kun died, I saw a side of you that I never thought existed too." Melody then says, in a plain tone, "When I saw you in distressed, I reminded me on how I felt when Yuki-chan died and now, I'm getting these feelings for you. I feel safe around you, like nothing is going to hurt me and I don't want to experience any of my friends and family leaving me ever again. I don't think that I could handle another one of my family or friends living me again."

Renta tells Melody, in a serious and loving tone, "Melody, I promised you that I'll never leave you and I will keep that promise, even at the cost of my life, I swear that I'll protect you, my future mate, and our pups. All you have to do is say that you'll become my woman."

Melody looks at Renta's brown eyes to see no hints that he's deceiving her, but his eyes were full of love and passion for her and her alone. Melody says, with a wide smile, "Yes."

Renta says, with a smile, "You will."

Melody says, with a sly loving smile unlike her, "I'd like it no other way. I'd love to be your woman and your future mate and wife as well as the carrier of your pups when we get older." Soon enough, Melody pulls Renta into a passionate kiss and Renta pulls Melody's body closer to him as he feels her breasts being pressed to his bare chest, through her inner kimono, which was arousing him.

Melody then pulls back while pulling Renta with her as she rested her back to the grassy part of the tree and Renta then places his hands onto her breasts, fondling them through her kimono while memorizing their shapes, arousing her as she feels Renta, places butterfly kisses down her neck and collarbone while massaging her breasts. While Renta was feeding on her neck with kisses and suckling, Melody moans and groans in arousal as she arched her back, wanting more of Renta's touches on her skin, she says, softly, "Renta…"

Renta then stops what he was doing as he goes up to Melody's inner kimono folds and lowers it down to allow Renta to see her bare breasts which were well-developed and curved and almost voluptuous for a young teenage female half-demon's busts while her yellow hakama pants is still on, covering her 'private area' between her legs. Renta almost drooled at the sight of them as Melody blushes in embarrassment and annoyance by this 'stunt'.

Renta says, amazed, "I'm a pretty lucky guy. If this is what you look like now, then I can't wait until the day that we are mated."

Melody says, in an annoyed and yet playful growl, "Renta…I'm going to kill…" Melody didn't finish as Renta captures her lips with his in a passionate kiss and Melody tries to resist it, but as soon as she feels Renta's fingers gently tracing the spine on her back, she moans in pleasure as she gives in to his touches. Melody then rubs her future mate's bare back with her own fingers while pressing her breasts to his bare chest, while arousing him even further. Melody says, with a sly smile while in between kisses, "You know, you're really going to pay for this." Renta then places butterfly kisses down Melody's chest down to her breasts as she moans in pleasure as she feels his lips on the valley of her breasts and around her right breast as he was slowly getting closer to her nipple. Melody moans in slight annoyance and impatient at this action and Melody says, softy, "Renta…stop…stalling…"

Renta says, while placing butterfly kisses on her mound, "I've got to admire the piece of work that the gods gave you here."

Melody says, in a soft annoyed tone, "You're such a pervert." Soon enough, Melody feels Renta's lips on her right nipple, sucking on it, gently, while using his right hand to massage her left breast. Melody moans out, gently, "Renta…don't…you…dare stop…!" Renta sucked for all he was worth gaining loud moans and groans from his future mate. Renta then removes his lips from Melody's right nipple, kissing between her sizable mounds and across to give her other breast the same treatment. Melody then places her fingers into Renta's black hair and used her thumb to massage his scalp as he was sucking on her left nipple. Melody's breathing increases when she felt Renta's tongue, licking her nipple, and she presses Renta's head closer to her chest, wanting more, which made Renta grinned around her nipple and he continues to suck even more as Melody massaged his scalp, arousing him even more. Renta then kisses upward and places his lips onto Melody's neck, sucking it gently while massaging her bare sides and working down to her hips, allowing more soft moans to escape from Melody's mouth as she plays with his hair and looks up in the night sky. After two pleasurable hours of 'making out', Melody and Renta broke away from each other for air and Renta rolled off of Melody as he places his right arm around her slender waist, pulling her close to him as he feels Melody's breasts onto his bare chest, causing him smile slyly at the feel.

Melody says, while looking at Renta's smile with her own sly smile, "Hentai!"

Renta says, with a sly smile, "I know, but I'm your hentai."

Melody snuggles on Renta's bare chest and she says, lovingly, "And I never want that to change, Renta, ever." Melody then kisses his cheek and rested her head onto his chest and sighs lovingly and she asks, "Why don't we stay here for the night? I just like the scenery."

Renta says, in a whisper in Melody's left dog ears, "Anything you want, my dear."

Melody says, with a loving smile, "I love you, Renta!"

Renta says, with a loving tone, "And I love you too, Melody, and I'll always will forever even if I die!"

Melody says, with a sly loving smile, "I know that you will and so will I, watashi no Renta (My Renta)."

Renta says, with a loving smile, "And I can't wait until the day that I claim you as my own, ore no Melody (My Melody)." Soon enough, Renta goes for his kimono top and places it on top of their almost naked forms and Melody nuzzles on Renta's bare chest and they take a bit of rest together, arm in arm, and love in love.

(In front of Zera's castle; a month later)

It has been a month since NekitaKariba's 'betrayal' and Melody and Renta got together and Melody's remaining family heard about this news and they were happy for them and Inuyasha and Kenochi threatened Renta if he hurts her in anyway, he will pay very dearly. The other young teenaged male half-demons around Melody's and Renta's ages were disappointed about this, but they were happy if Melody was happy with Renta since they loved each other. Korvo and Zera still didn't get close to their mating ritual due to Zera helping out the half-demon children in her castle, just 'making out' and that's about it. Korvo was getting a bit impatient with this since he feels so passionate with Zera being his mate while Inuyasha, Melody, Kenochi, Suzame, and Sonoko are helping her. Korvo was also getting frustrated with the half-demon children's needs from Zera to the brink of hating them for being so helpless, but understands that they need comfort and love since no one else will give it to them. Right now, we find Inuyasha and Korvo having a sparring session with Inuyasha trying to get a hit on Korvo, but as a full demon, Korvo was too fast for him to hit. On the sidelines, Sonoko was watching them fight.

Korvo tells Inuyasha, while dodging and blocking his punches, "Inuyasha, don't go all wild with your fighting! Try to find your enemies weak point!"

Inuyasha says, seriously, "Right!" Inuyasha tries to find Korvo's weak point while throwing his punches, rapidly, and he manages to jump up high and kicks Korvo's head, knocking him back a bit. Soon enough, Korvo punches Inuyasha's stomach, knocking the wind out of him, throwing him to the side of Zera's castle with a loud thud.

Sonoko exclaims, horrified, "Inu-chan!" Sonoko runs over to Inuyasha's fallen form as he slumps to the ground

Korvo exclaims, horrified, "Oh Kami! Inuyasha, are you okay!" Soon enough, Zera and Suzame appear from the castle after hearing a loud thud and Zera says, horrified seeing her young half-brother's fallen form, "Inuyasha!" The two female dog demons rush to his aid and Suzame says, glaring at Korvo, "Korvo, what have you done!"

Korvo says, worriedly, "It was an accident! I didn't mean for that to happen!"

Inuyasha says, weakly, "It's true! Korvo-onii-chan is telling the truth! It was on accident and it was my fault, Suzame-onee-chan!"

Zera tells Korvo, in a serious tone, "Korvo, I know that you're trying to help with Inuyasha's training, but please be careful, okay. He's my baby brother and I don't want him to get seriously hurt."

Korvo felt a mixture of anger towards Inuyasha for not blocking like he should and guilt for hurting him just now and Korvo says, lowly, "Yes, Zera. I will."

Suzame asks, curiously, "Where's Renta? Isn't he Korvo's student?"

Zera says, with a smile, "He's with my sister!"

Suzame says, in a plain tone, "I can't believe that those two are together after fighting against each other for far too long."

Inuyasha says, plainly, "Must be a weird sense of fate."

Korvo says, walking close to Zera, "You'll understand it when you find someone of your own, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha says, plainly, "But there's no one to look at that's my age in this castle."

Suzame says, with a teasing smile, "What about Sonoko-chan!"

Inuyasha and Sonoko blush at this and Inuyasha yells at Suzame, annoyed, "Suzame-onee-chan, she's like a sister to me!"

Sonoko says, seriously, "No joke, Lady Suzame! I may love Inu-chan, but he's like a brother to me!"

Suzame says, with a smile, "I'm sorry, you two, but it was too hard to resist doing that!" Soon enough, Zera fills the chilling cool on her legs and Zera says, plainly, "The cold season is coming soon."

Korvo says, with a smile, "Luckily, we came prepared for that to happen."

Inuyasha gets on his feet and he asks Korvo, curiously, "Hey Korvo-onii-chan, isn't your human aunt expecting your half-demon cousin in a month."

Korvo says, with a smile, "That's right, Inuyasha. Speaking of which, I need to get to the village where she lives."

Zera says, with a loving smile, "Goodbye, Korvo!" Zera then kisses his left cheek, causing him to blush at the sight, and Korvo smiles at her as he leaps off in the distance.

Suzame says, with a sly grin, "I see that you and Korvo are getting along well."

Zera says, with a sigh, "I know and we haven't gotten through the mating ritual yet with the half-demon children needing me since they seem to get these strange horrifying nightmares."

Sonoko says, while glancing at Inuyasha with a sly grin, "Well, maybe you'll get it done if a certain someone and his brother aren't such loud snorers!"

Inuyasha says, annoyed, "Hey! Watch it!"

(With Renta and Melody; in the forest)

Within the forests, we find Renta and Melody sitting in the tree that they spent their first romantic moment alone with them pouring out their feelings for one another with Renta's right arm wrapped around Melody and Melody resting her head onto his shoulder looking out to the mixed clear blue and cloud skies into the distance.

Melody tells Renta, looking up in the sky, "It's beautiful, isn't it, Ren-chan?"

Renta tells Melody, while looking at her with a sly smile, "Yeah, but it's not the sky that I'm looking it."

Melody looks at Renta with a slight blush on her cheeks and she says, with a sly grin, "Oh you think so, huh?"

Renta then pulls Melody up, bridal style, and places her on his lap and Renta says, with a loving smile, "I know a beautiful angel when I see one and everything a man wants in a woman."

Melody says, with a sly smile, "You really are a charmer, Ren-chan."

Renta says, while taking something from his kimono top, "Oh right! I forgot something!" Renta shows Melody a half of a yellow crystal that was wrapped in a string of sorts while showing the other yellow crystal that was wrapped in a string that was under his kimono.

Melody says, with awestruck, "It's gorgeous!"

Renta says, with a smile, "I'm glad that you like it! You see, it belonged to my mother and she gave this to me to give to someone that I treasured." Renta then connected the jewel pieces together which fit perfectly and Renta says, giving it to Melody, "This is for you!"

Melody takes it and she says, with a loving warm smile while placing around her neck, "Thank you, Ren-chan! I'll never take it off!" Melody then places a loving kiss to Renta's lips and Renta then returns the kiss with equal force while rubbing her sides, up and down and Melody wrapping her arms around his shoulders. For the next few minutes, the two of them were locked in their passionate kiss, mating their tongues and tasting each other's mouths and saliva. Renta then slowly moves his right hand towards Melody's left breast, but Melody caught his wrist before he got close. Renta then groans in low annoyance while he feels Melody's lips forming a sly smile and she pulls back. Melody tells Renta, with a sly smile, "Oh no! I'm taking control this time, buddy. I let you hog all the fun. Besides, I still owe you for that stunt a month ago, remember." Melody then proceeds to kiss Renta's neck and collarbone while using her hands to feel all over his chest through his kimono top, causing him to moan in pleasure as she grab his other wrist and pushes his hand away from her.

Renta moans out, annoyed, "No fair!" Melody's smile got a bit wide from her future mate's complaint as she moves her lips from his neck and all over his face, causing him to get aroused. When she moved her lips to Renta's right dog ear, Melody says, slyly, "Tag! You're it!" Melody then jumps from Renta's lap and up to a higher branch on the tree and Melody says, with a sly and enticing tone, "I bet that you can't catch me!"

Renta says, with a sly grin, "I bet that I can!"

Melody says, with a challenging smile, "Fine then! Just try it!" With that, Melody leaps away from the branch with Renta following her. Melody jumps from tree branch to branch to get away from Renta, who was following her.

Renta yells out, seriously, "Melody, get back here!"

Melody lands on a branch and she yells out, with a sly smile, "Nope! I'm not getting caught by you!" Melody then jumps from the branch as Renta was getting close to her, while giggling and laughing all the way.

Renta says, with a sly smile, "I'm going to get you!" For the next thirty minutes, the two dog hanyous were jumping from tree branch to tree branch with Melody not trying to be captured by her courted mate.

As they got near a river, Renta yells out, playfully, "You're going to run out of energy, angel, and when you do, I'll be waiting!"

Melody says, stepping to an old branch, "That would be…!" Soon enough, the branch that Melody was standing on, breaks and she yelp as she falls into the river with a loud squash. Renta then jumps in the water, after her as Melody appears out of the surface and spits out water from her mouth.

Melody says, in a mutter, "Damn that tree!" Just then, a pair of arms was wrapped around her waist and Melody yelps as she was pulled back for her back to hit the chest of her courted mate.

Renta says, while whispering in Melody's right dog ear, "I've got you, koishii." Renta then begins kissing Melody's neck, causing her to moan and giggle at the gentle touch of Renta's lips on her skin. While kissing her neck, Renta placed his hands onto her hips, throws her into the air causing her to yelp in shock and she's caught in bridal style which made her giggle at Renta's antics. Renta then leaps out of the river and onto the bank to place her on the ground while approaching top of her.

Renta says, with a sly smile, "I caught you and I think it's time to claim my reward, Mel-chan."

Melody says, with a sly loving smile, "Then, do so, Ren-chan!" Renta then went down to claim Melody's lips with his own and Melody returns it with equal passion while their tongues mated with each other, Melody places her arms around Renta's shoulders and neck, pulling his head to her causing him to moan pleasure. Renta then places kisses all over Melody's neck and collarbone causing her to moan pleasure while taking in her scent through his nose and placing his hands onto her waist. Melody then places her fingers into Renta's long black hair and wraps her legs around Renta's waist as Renta places his right hand onto her left breast, fondling and massaging it through her wet yellow kimono blouse while placing a sly grin on his lips as he was placing gentle butterfly kisses on her neck. Melody moans in pleasure at Renta's touch, arching her back to get her bosom into Renta's hand even more.

Renta says, while 'feasting' on Melody's neck, "Oh Kami, you're so beautiful!"

Melody replies, while rolling her eyes, "Tell me something that I don't know, Koi."

Renta stops what he's doing and looks down at Melody's golden eyes which made his future mate look up at him with annoyance. Melody asks, in a low annoyed tone, "Why did you stop?"

Renta says, with a sly smile, "I just wanted to remember this for the rest of my life. You, lying under me while looking at one of the angels that the gods gave me. I really love you, Melody, I really do."

Melody felt those words come to her heart which gave her a nice warm feeling and she says, with a tears coming down with a warm smile, "I really love you too, Renta. I don't want to be with any other man than you, Ren-chan."

Renta says, with a loving smile, "The same for me, angel. I don't want to be with any other girl than you." Melody then pulls Renta to her lips, kissing him with passion with Renta returning it with the same passion and the two dog hanyous resumes their 'making out' session while making a few more connections to each others' hearts.

(Sometime later; behind Zera's castle)

Behind Zera's castle, we find Sonoko on her knees while praying at her late sister, Yukiko's, grave along with Hajji's while tears are running down her eyes.

Sonoko says to her sister's grave, with a sad smile, "Hey sis! I hope that you like heaven so far! It's getting crummy here on the earth! I hope that you're happy seeing mama and papa again as well as Lady Izayoi, Meggie-chan, and Hol-chan too! I miss them too! I wish that you guys were with me! I really need you here with me!"

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, "So-chan!" Sonoko turns to see Inuyasha walking towards her.

Sonoko says, with a kind smile, "Hi Inu-chan!" Inuyasha then sits by her and Sonoko says, with sad smile, "I'm just giving my respects to my sister." Sonoko says, while forming tears in her eyes, "I really miss her."

Inuyasha decides to think of something without having to see anymore tears in Sonoko's eyes since he doesn't like seeing females shedding tears and Inuyasha says, panicking, "Don't cry, So-chan! I know how you must feel! I lost my mother and my two younger sisters, remember!"

Sonoko says, wiping the tears from her eyes, "I know! It's those humans' fault!" Sonoko then says, in an angered tone, "It's because of them that Yukiko died! Those human boys lied about Yukiko attacking them! She would never do such a thing! With the exception of your mother and my father, all humans are no better than scum! I hate them for what they did to my sister and parents! They had a priestess to kill my mother while my father was dying because he was sick with a fatal disease and those villagers were making him even sicker so they could get rid of us! I swear that they'll pay for what they've done! Someday, I will make them pay!"

Inuyasha says, grabbing Sonoko's shoulders, "So-chan, stop! You shouldn't talk like that! Your parents and Yuki-chan wouldn't want you to seek revenge for their deaths! Nothing will come out of it! It will become the very thing that you hate! I don't want you to be anything like the people that took your parents' and Yuki-chan's lives!"

Sonoko says, seriously, "But I can't help it, Inu-chan! It seems that we lost every one of the people that we lost to by humans, you and Mel-chan with your mother, Meggie-chan, and Hol-chan, Renta-kun with Hajji-kun, and my parents and sister! I will never forgive them!"

Inuyasha says, in a serious tone, "I know how you must feel! I admit that I'll never forgive the people that took the lives of my mother, Megumi, and Holly! I also will never forgive the people that took Yuki-chan and Hajji away from us, but if you go seeking revenge then you'll just turn into what killed your parents and sisters."

Sonoko asks, lowly, "How do you do it? How do you stay strong after what has happened to you?"

Inuyasha says, plainly while taking his hands off of Sonoko's shoulders, "While I don't know how, but I don't want any of the people that I care about go looking for revenge. All revenge ever does is create more suffering and damage." Soon enough, a small snow flake comes down from the sky and between Inuyasha and Sonoko, startling them and they look up to see that more snow flakes were coming down from the sky.

Sonoko says, surprised, "It's snowing!"

Inuyasha tells Sonoko, in a plain tone, "We better go find Melody-nee and Renta to bring them back home."

Sonoko says, with a sly smile, "I don't think that they'll appreciate you interrupting them, Inu-chan!"

Inuyasha asks, curiously, "Why not?"

Sonoko says, with a sly smile, "Let's just say that in the state they are, they will be very pissed off at you for interrupting them in their 'passionate' state!"

Inuyasha yells out, stunned, "What!"

Sonoko says, with a smile, "Keep in mind that I'm a kitsune hanyou, so I know these things! I'm picking up Mel-chan's and Renta-kun's scents mixing up together."

Inuyasha knew what Sonoko was talking about since he was very familiar with the mating rituals for demons and half-demons from Korvo and Kenochi and Inuyasha says, angrily, "Why that little…! I'll kill him!"

Sonoko calls out, stopping Inuyasha, "Inu-chan, don't! They haven't done anything to 'that level' yet! I'm a kitsune hanyou! I know! Besides, have you noticed that they way before that Mel-chan and Renta-kun look at each other?"

Inuyasha says, plainly, "But they argue with each other! Besides, I've also noticed those other hanyou boys around our ages looking at you two with the scent of lust and hitting on her."

Sonoko says, with a smile, "And have you noticed that they've stopped once Mel-chan got together with Renta-kun!" Sonoko says, with a sly seductive smile while getting near him, "And do you think that I've gotten more womanly, Inu-chan."

Inuyasha noticed the tone that Sonoko spoke to him with gets him a flustered look and Inuyasha says, nervously, "Well…I…uh…!"

Sonoko says, with a slight giggle while getting back, "I was only kidding, Inu-chan! I love you as a brother, you know." Sonoko started laughing while Inuyasha gets a slightly annoyed look on his face.

Inuyasha says, in his usual tone, "Feh! I knew that!" Inuyasha then looks up in the sky as more snow flakes are falling down to the earth.

Sonoko says, with a smile while looking up, "It's really beautiful, isn't it?"

Inuyasha asks, curiously, "What's the big deal? It's just snow! It's nothing special about it or anything."

Sonoko says, with a sigh, "I guess that you don't get it."

(In front of Zera's castle; at night three weeks later)

It's been three weeks since the first day of winter and we find ourselves in front of Zera's castle where the ground and the whole roof of the castle was majorly covered with snow and we soon see two shadows approaching the castle.

One of the shadows says, in an evil female voice, "Soon, little half-breed, you'll get what's coming to you!"

(Sometime later; not to far from the castle)

Elsewhere, we find Zera, Kenochi, Suzame, Inuyasha, Renta, Melody, and Sonoko walking towards the direction of the castle while carrying firewood with Renta and Melody holding hands.

Sonoko says, with a smile, "This is great! With the supply of wood, we'll make it through the winter along with those kids!"

Renta says, with a sly smile while having his free arm around Melody's waist, "Yeah! A romantic fire in a winter's night, while cuddling with an angel as beautiful as this one is what I would call a fine time!"

Melody says, with a blush and smile, "Oh cut it out, Ren-chan!"

Renta says, with a loving smile, "Well, Mel-chan, that's the price you pay for being a beautiful angel."

Melody says, with a playful glare and smile, "You must really love to cuddle with me in that open fire, do you?"

Renta says, with a smile, "What do you think, my dear?"

Inuyasha tells Renta, annoyed, "Would you cut it out, Renta! You're making me sick with those mushy words!"

Suzame asks Zera, curiously, "By the way, whatever happened with Korvo! For the past three weeks, we haven't seen him!"

Zera says, plainly, "I know and that's what I'm worried about!"

Inuyasha says, in a plain tone, "He probably helping his human pregnant aunt since she's expecting real soon."

Melody says, with a smile, "You're right, bro! Korvo-onii-chan is pretty helpful and kind! I hope that his aunt will be fine and the newborn child to be fine." Just then, the scent of blood was picked up by their noses.

Kenochi says, in a serious tone, "I smell blood."

Zera says, seriously, "I know, Kenochi! Me too! It's coming from my castle!"

Renta says, stunned, "The children!"

Inuyasha yells out, seriously, "Let's move!" With that, Inuyasha rushes forward with the others following him towards Zera's castle.

(Inside Zera's castle; in the meanwhile)

Within Zera's castle, there were numerous of screams and cries filled with pain and agony as many of the slashed and cut up hanyous were lying on the floor with on the pools of their blood. In one room, we find one wolf hanyou young male teenager back into a corner as the two shadow figures approach him with murderous attempt.

The wolf hanyou yells out, horrified, "Why! Why are you doing this!" Those were his last words when one of the shadow figures rammed his right claw right through his heart causing him to cough blood from his mouth, killing him instantly.

(Outside of Zera's castle; at the same time)

Outside getting near Zera's castle, we find Zera, Kenochi, Suzame, Inuyasha, Renta, Melody, and Sonoko rushing towards the castle and a familiar male voice calls out, "Don't go any further!" Just then, a familiar male figure appears in front of them, taking the shape of Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha yells out, angrily, "You!"

Kenochi says, surprised, "Ani-ue!"

Zera asks, with a serious glare, "Why have you come here!"

Sesshomaru says, in a serious tone, "Zera, don't go in there!"

Renta yells out, seriously, "I'm picking up the scent of blood coming from the castle! The children are in danger!"

Inuyasha yells out, seriously, "Move out of the way, asshole!" Inuyasha then moves past Sesshomaru with Melody and Sonoko following him. When Inuyasha got even closer, he gasps in shock and horror as he sees many of the young hanyou children cut up bodies lying on the ground on their poured blood as well as the stairs and railings.

Inuyasha says, horrified, "Oh no!" Melody and Sonoko look at the bodies and they were disgusted and horrified at this.

Melody says, horrified, "Oh Kami…! The children…!"

Sonoko says, disgusted, "Who did this?" Just then, Zera, Kenochi, Suzame, and Renta rushes over and they were totally distraught at the senseless slaughter.

Suzame says, horrified, "Oh no! The children! They've been killed!"

Renta says, horrified and disgusted, "Who did this!"

Sesshomaru says, walking in front, "Pick the scents in the air, half-breed, and you'll get your answer." They did so and Inuyasha says, in a horrified tone, "I'm picking up the scent of a human and another is a familiar demon scent."

Just then, a female voice rings out from the castle, "Very perspective, half-demon!" Just then, from the shadows a female figure of one of the enemies that our heroes and heroines are facing, Vitani, walking from the shadows with a quiver fill of arrows and bow a sinister smile on her lips.

Sonoko yells out, shocked, "It's a human!"

Suzame says, in a serious tone, "A priestess of that!"

Renta says, in a stunned and angered tone, "That scent…I know that scent…! The scent of that priestess that killed Hajji!"

Vitani says, with a mock perplexed tone, "Hajji!"

Renta yells out, angrily, "Don't play innocent, you bitch! The wolf hanyou that you killed almost two months ago!"

Vitani says, in a serious tone, "Oh that wolf hanyou! That hanyou is the same one that was responsible for the murder of innocent human boys from a village not to far from here!"

Sonoko yells out, angrily, "You liar! Hajji-kun would never do such a thing!"

Renta yells out, drawing his claws and enraged, "No joke! Hajji was my best friend! My best friend who was like a brother to me! You killed him! You fucking killed him! You're going to pay for your crimes, you murderer!" Renta leaps forward with the intent to slash Vitani with his claws.

Melody calls out, worriedly, "Renta, stop!" However, it was too late as Renta was too far in his anger for the loss of his best friend and he jumps high above Vitani with a killer intent. Just then, Vitani draws out her spear and slashes him in the chest, causing him to howl in pain.

Melody calls out, horrified, "Renta!"

Vitani says, in a snarl, "Disgusting creature!" Vitani kicks Renta away from here and into the snow covered ground. Soon enough, Melody rushes over to her future mate and Melody calls out, worriedly, "Ren-chan, are you okay?"

Renta says, winching in pain, "I'm fine, Mel-chan! It's just that I'm bit paralyzed!"

Vitani says, holding up her spear, "It should since this spear is made from Gamigiri, the same spear that was welded by my sister, the one that you killed!"

Melody says, looking up, "What!"

Vitani says, in a serious sneer, "You seem to remember the priestess that welded this weapon! The priestess that you killed along with those three humans eight years ago!" Just then, the memory came into the canine demons and hanyous and Inuyasha says, stunned, "That priestess was your sister!"

Vitani says, in an angered sneer, "That's right, you little beast! I was a mere child at the age of ten when your sister slain my sister!"

Sonoko yells out, seriously, "That was because she killed my sister!"

Suzame says, in a serious and angered tone, "At any rate, you're not going to get away with what you've done!"

Vitani says, with a sinister smile, "Oh please, yokai, you think that you stand a chance against us."

Sonoko says, perplexed, "Us?"

Inuyasha tells Sonoko, seriously, "I picked up a familiar demon scent and it smells awfully like…!" Inuyasha then came to the realization and he says, horrified, "…it can't be…!"

Vitani says, calling out from her shoulder, "You should come out…Korvo…!" Soon after, from the shadows of the castle, Korvo comes into everyone's sight with his claws drenched in blood.

Zera says, horrified, "Korvo…but why…!"

Melody says, stunned, "Why…Korvo-onii-chan…?"

Korvo gives Melody a frosty like glare making her winch at the sight and Korvo tells Melody, icily, "Onii-chan means…big brother, right? Since when did I become your big brother, disgusting half-demon!"

Melody gasps in shock at this and Kenochi asks, seriously, "Korvo, why! Why did you kill them! They were innocent children!"

Korvo says, in a serious tone, "They were too needy like going to Zera whenever we're alone while you, Suzame, and those little half-breed brats were out doing their thing! As far as I'm concerned they got what they deserve! That means that Zera will no longer tied to their foolish little whims anymore."

Zera was too far in her grief and pain of the betrayal of the one person, the one person that promised to help her with the half-demon children in her castle, taking care of them, and guiding them when no one else would. The thought and the smell of the blood of the half-demon children, whom she thought as a second family coming from the person that was considered beloved and future mate was too much for her to take while it was tearing her heart into pieces.

Sesshomaru says, in a serious tone, "I may have not think any worth of those filth, but you've hurt and betrayed my sister by killing them! You've caused her too much pain!"

Korvo yells out, in a nasty tone, "Shut up! What does an unfeeling bastard like you know about pain!"

Suzame yells out, angrily, "Like you will in a second, you rotten double crosser!"

Kenochi says, in a serious tone, "That's right! When you killed them, you've betrayed us all, Korvo and it's time for you to pay for what you've done!"

Vitani yells out, strongly, "Let's see what you can do, demon!"

Inuyasha yells out, strongly, "You're going to pay, you murderer!" Inuyasha then charges after Vitani in blind anger and Sonoko yells out, angrily, "Not without my help, Inu-chan!" Sonoko then follows suit to attack Vitani in her anger.

Korvo says, in a serious tone, "I'm sorry, you two, but I can't allow you to kill her!"

Suzame's voice booms out, strongly, "Like I'm going to do to you, traitor!" Just then, Korvo was kicked in the face by Suzame and thrown to the ground. On the meanwhile, Vitani was dodging most of Inuyasha's and Sonoko's claws since they were young adolescent half-demons so their attacks weren't much to her. Vitani then went to the offensive when she kicks Inuyasha's ribs, throwing him away from her.

Sonoko yells out, strongly, "You've just added more debts to your tab!"

"Priestess Purification!"

Sonoko fires a powerful lightning bolt from her right index and middle finger at Vitani, who cries out in pain when the attack hits her and throws her down the stairs into the snow, but when the smoke and dust cleared, Queen Beryl was badly burned in the chest.

Vitani jumps on her feet and she yells out, enraged, "How dare you strike me? You shall pay this insult with your life, half-breed!"

Sonoko says, in a serious tone, "Yeah well, you're going to pay for the crimes that your sister committed when she took my sister's life as well as your own crimes when you killed two of our friends!" On the meanwhile, Korvo was having a tough time fighting against the combined might of Sesshomaru and Suzame as he was getting bashed to the ground by Suzame's fist.

Suzame says, in a serious tone, "You're going to pay for everything that you've done! You had no right to kill them!"

Korvo says, groaning in pain, "I…had to…I had to…!"

Suzame yells out, angrily, "For what? Have Zera come to your arms!"

Korvo says, glaring at Suzame, "You don't understand!"

Suzame yells out, angrily, "Oh I understand perfectly! You're sick and you're not getting anywhere near Zera as long as I'm still breathing!"

Sesshomaru says, in a serious tone, "And so will I? For every pain you've caused my sister, will be returned to you ten times the amount!" Korvo jumps onto his feet, getting ready to defend himself from the fight of his life. While this was going on, Kenochi and Melody were at Renta's aid.

Kenochi tells Renta, seriously, "Hey you hang in there, kid, you're not going to die!"

Melody says, in a serious tone, "That's right, Ren-chan! Ane-ue taught me a trick to negate the effects of that Gamigiri, so you'll be able to move again!" After placing her hands onto Renta's chest, Melody's hands then glowed red, slowly negating the Gamigiri effects in Renta's body.

Kenochi looks at his sister, who still was in a moment of shock, and Kenochi yells out, seriously, "Ane-ue, you have to snap out of it! I know how you must feel, but we really need your help! Ane-ue!"

While fighting Inuyasha and Sonoko, Vitani notices what Melody was doing and Vitani asks, in her mind, "What's she doing and why do I sense the Gamigiri effect fading from that half-demon!" Vitani was brought back to her senses when Inuyasha slashes her right cheek with his claws, causing her to yelp in pain and she yells out, angrily, "You little beast! I'll kill you for this!"

Vitani charges after Inuyasha with speed that he couldn't pick up and kicks him to the ground and then placing her foot to his chest, preventing him from moving. Vitani says, while raising her weapon up, "You die!" Just then, Vitani receives a head-butt to the back by Sonoko, throwing her off of Inuyasha, knocking her down to the ground.

Sonoko asks Inuyasha, "Are you okay, Inu-chan?"

Inuyasha says, getting onto his feet, "I'm fine!"

Vitani gets on her feet and she says, angrily, "I'm through playing these games with you! You're going to die!" Vitani then takes out two sutras and throws them at the two hanyous too fast that not even they could notice it as they hit them, making them unable to move.

Inuyasha says, stunned, "What the…! I can't move!"

Vitani says, with a sinister smile, "That's right, you little beast! These sutras were made to make sure that you freeze for three minutes and that's all the time that I need to kill you!" Vitani then charges after a defenseless Inuyasha with the intent to kill.

Kenochi and Melody yell out in unison, "Inuyasha!"

As Vitani approaches closer, Inuyasha prepares for the blow, but he was pushed away harshly and he looks in horror as he sees Suzame at the same spot he was before and impaled through her chest and back. Suzame then coughs out blood from her mouth at the blow.

Inuyasha yells out, horrified, "Suzame-onee-chan!"

Vitani pulls out her spear from Suzame's chest as she collapses to her right side and Sonoko exclaims, horrified, "Lady Suzame!"

Melody calls out, shocked, "Suzame-onee-chan!"

Kenochi yells out, horrified, "Suzame!"

Zera looks at horror as she sees her best friend fallen by Vitani's spear and she exclaims, horrified when she gets out of her stupor, "Suzame!" Zera rushes over to her fatal injured friend.

Vitani yells out, strongly, "Now, it's your turn, demon!" Vitani rushes over to Zera, who was running towards Suzame, and proceeds to kill her, but she was hit with a Priestess Purification blast in the back by Sonoko, who was able to move, causing her to be knocked down as Zera scoops Suzame's fallen form in her arms.

Zera exclaims, seriously, "Suzame, please hang on…!"

Vitani says, in a snarl while slowly getting up, "It's too late, demon! She's almost at death's door! She was stabbed in the heart!" Vitani says, glaring at Sonoko, who stands ready, "And this little troublemaker is going to regret ever cross me!"

Melody yells out, strongly, "No! I'm not going to allow you to hurt any other of my friends, you monster!" Vitani turns to see Melody finishing healing Renta and she stands on her feet, ready to fight. Renta then stands with her fully healed and Vitani says, stunned, "How! You were cut by my spear!"

Melody says, with a sly smile, "That's for me to know and you to find out if you live long enough to know."

Vitani says, in a snarl, "We'll see, you little poodle!" While this was going, Korvo was thrown to the ground by Sesshomaru's blows and he sees Zera holding a fallen Suzame in her arms. Korvo rushes towards her, but Sesshomaru quickly grabs his left arm and throws him back to the ground on his back.

Sesshomaru says, in a serious tone, "I told you, Korvo. You will pay at least ten times the misery that you've caused Zera!" Sesshomaru then uses his claws to slash off Korvo's left arm, causing him to howl in extreme pain and agony as he grabs onto his severed limb, which was bleeding majorly. Sesshomaru throws away Korvo's severed arm away in the distance as Vitani shoots arrows at Kenochi, Melody, and Renta, but they quickly dodges them.

Sonoko thinks in her mind, seriously, "Now's my chance!" Sonoko then charges after Vitani while her back was turned to strike her down, but Vitani notices this, grabs her spear and stabs Sonoko, through her chest and back, and throws her away to the ground.

Inuyasha calls out, horrified, "So-chan!" Inuyasha then runs over to Sonoko's aid while Melody and Renta notices this and Melody yells out, horrified, "So-chan!"

Renta yells out, angrily, "You're going to pay for this, you witch!" Renta then charges after Vitani, which made her grab the last remaining arrow and shoots it at Renta's heart, piercing it causing him to fall on his right side.

Melody and Kenochi yell out, horrified, "Renta!" Melody then runs to Renta's aid and Vitani says, with a sinister smile, "That arrow is also made by the Gamigiri, so your friend is a goner since it hit a vital point in his body." Melody pulls the arrow from Renta's chest and gathers him in her arms.

Inuyasha says, taking a plenty of Sonoko's blood, "She's going to pay for this! Blades of Blood!" Inuyasha then fires multiple red yokai colored arcs at Vitani's back, causing her to yelp in pain as her right arm was cut off.

Vitani yells out, in a pain filled tone, "My arm!"

Melody says, in an angered and enraged tone, "You're going to pay for what you've done, you witch! Super Priestess Purification!" Melody then fires a huge dark violet lightning bolt at Vitani causing her to howl in pain as she was obliterated by the blast of demon energy. When the smoke clears out, Vitani was reduced to nothing more than ashes on the snowy ground.

When Korvo sees this, he says, lowly, "No…this wasn't supposed to…!" Sesshomaru then kicks him hard on the side, throwing him to a tree and he slumps to his back as Sesshomaru slowly approaches his fallen form.

Zera calls out, in a begging tone, "Suzame, don't you dare die on me!"

Suzame coughs out, weakly, "Zera…tell…Inu-chan…and Melody-chan…to bring Sonoko-chan and Renta-chan here."

Inuyasha says, carrying Sonoko's fallen form in his arms, "I heard you, Suzame-onii-chan!" Kenochi then helps Melody with Renta's fallen form and placed him with Sonoko and Suzame.

Melody says, placing Renta in her arms, "Ren-chan, you're going to be okay, right!" Melody's body was shaking in fear not wanting any of the people that she loved leaving her.

Renta coughs out, with weak smile, "Hey…angel…"

Melody says, with a warm smile, "Hey dummy, you're going to be okay!"

Sonoko tells Melody, in a weak tone, "No…Mel-chan…we're not…! We were hit in the heart…! There's no way to recover from it and with the Gamigiri no less!"

Inuyasha says, while tears are coming down his eyes, "No! Not again! Mother, Megumi, Holly, and Yuki-chan were enough especially with the half-demon children! Not you guys! I can't take it!"

Kenochi says, solemnly, "I know!"

Suzame tells Inuyasha, with a warm weak smile, "Inu-chan…don't…! You remember what…*cough*…your mother said about crying."

Melody says, while tears are coming down her eyes, "But we can't help it! We're losing our dearest friends!"

Zera tells Suzame, in an angered tone, "Suzame, don't you dare leave me! We're supposed to be friends and friends don't leave each other!"

Suzame says, with a warm weak smile, "I kno…I know, Zera…you were a good friend…! I'll always be with you!"

Renta says, with a weak smile, "That's right! Melody…angel…I don't think…that I'll…!"

Melody yells out, solemnly and angrily while tears are coming down her eyes, "No! Don't give me that 'I'll always be with you' crap when you're like this! That's not enough! I've heard that from my mother when she died and I'm still hurting from her gone! I want you here with me! You can't leave me! You promised! You promised me that we'll cuddle in front of a warm fire! You can't back away! You fucking promised! You're the only man that I ever loved! The only man that has ever understands me! You can't leave me like this!"

Renta says, with his last dying breath, "…Melo…Melody…I'm…so…sorry…! I wanted…to hold you in my arms…so much…! I…love…you…! My feelings for you will never waver…! Goodbye…my beautiful angel…I'll always…love you…!" Renta gives one last loving smile before closing his eyes, forever, drifting away from this world with a smile on his face.

Melody says, lowly, "Ren-chan…! You…can't…! No!"

Sonoko tells Melody, in a weak tone, "Mel-chan…don't…!"

Melody cries out, angrily while tears are coming down, "It's all their faults! The humans! It's all their faults! I hate all humans especially the priestesses! We've lost our friends because of them! We didn't do anything wrong! We were just living our lives away from them! It's not our faults that we were half-demons! We were just born this way! I swear that I will kill them! I'll show any priestesses no mercy! No mercy to those damned priestesses! They go killing innocent half-demons for their own glory to their kind! They're what I hate about humans!"

Sonoko tells Melody, with a weak smile, "Hey…Mel-chan…I know of a way…for you…to get your revenge…! First, place your hand on my chest and I'll perform a fusion!"

Zera says, surprised, "A fusion!"

Inuyasha asks Zera, curiously, "What's that, Zera-nee?"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "I've read it in a special book that it's more of assimilation where one being absorbs the energy, strength, memories, and intelligence or thought pattern of another. However, they have to be the same age, species, and gender to do so."

Melody yells out, seriously, "I don't want that! I want you to live, So-chan! You're my best friend!"

Sonoko places a weak smile grabs Melody's right hand and places it on her bleeding chest, saying, "I'm…going to transfer all of my powers…to you so you'll have kitsune type powers and my strength, so whe…when…you…turn…human…you'll…be…twice as…strong…!" Soon enough, Sonoko's body glows red as all of her demonic powers were transferred to Melody and Melody screams out in shock at the power that was surging through her body as Sonoko's appearance was turned into a human with black hair and blue eyes. Sonoko says, with the last of her dying breath, "Goodbye…old…friend…!" With that, Sonoko's eyes were closed as she left this world while leaving her friends.

Suzame tells Zera, with a weak smile, "Hey…Zera…take…care…of your brother and sister…! I know that…you'll…!" Suzame then was cut off when she closes her eyes, forever, drifting away from this world. Inuyasha, Kenochi, Zera, and Melody were grief struck by this and Kenochi says, solemnly, "They're gone!"

Inuyasha says, in a low angered tone, "It's not fair! It's just not fair! Why do are we the ones that suffered it's not fair!"

Zera says, in a low enraged tone while tears are coming down her eyes, "Of course, it wasn't fair, Inuyasha! Sonoko, Suzame, and Renta never asked for this!" On the meanwhile, Korvo was thrown to the ground again by Sesshomaru, who was also angered by Suzame's death.

Sesshomaru says, in an angered snarl, "You vermin…time to die!"

Zera says, with her voice sounding strong with anger, "Sesshomaru, just stop it and leave at that!" Zera then turns to Korvo with an intense glare filled with anger, hatred, and betrayal and Zera says, in a low angered tone, "Korvo, I loved you and yet, when you killed those children as well as caused death to my best friend, you've betrayed us while me mostly! They were my family and you caused their deaths!"

Korvo says, weakly, "Zera…I'm…sorr…!"

Zera says, in an angered snarl, "Save it, you poor excuse of a man! I trusted you! I loved you! I wanted to be your mate, but after tonight, there will never be a time in this lifetime that I'll ever forgive you!" Zera then says, in an icy cold and serious tone, "You will leave this castle and if I find you here again or anywhere near my family again…I will kill you…I'll guarantee that…! Now, go and never come back!"

Korvo winches at Zera's harsh tone as he slowly stands up and while Inuyasha and Melody were glaring at him with anger and betrayed glints in their golden eyes, he leaves the castle grounds in disgrace while tears come down his eyes. After Korvo is gone, Zera tells Inuyasha, Kenochi, and Melody, "You three! You will help me bury the children that we killed tonight."

Inuyasha says, in a low solemn tone, "You don't have to tell me twice, Zera-nee!" Inuyasha carries Sonoko's dead body towards the castle while Kenochi helps Melody with Renta's dead body and Zera carries Suzame's body while following Inuyasha.

(Six months later; in front of Zera's castle)

In a bright early evening, we find Inuyasha sitting outside by the stairs with a solemn look on his face. It's been six months since the deaths of Renta, Sonoko, and Suzame and the betrayal of Korvo, and the once who were affected by the most were Melody and Zera since with Melody, she lost her best friend and beloved in the same night and Zera losing her best friend and having her own beloved betray her, the two of them were in Zera's room without leaving their rooms for anything. During those six months, the winter days have pasted and spring was here, but Melody and Zera were out to enjoy it with him. Inuyasha was also hurting inside since he lost his best friends to death and he was getting real worried about his sisters. Inuyasha then notices the scent of his older half-brother coming towards him and he turns to see Kenochi walking towards him.

Inuyasha says, lowly, "Hi Ani-ue!"

Kenochi says, in a plain tone, "It's just not the same without hearing the cries and laughter of the children, is it?" Kenochi goes to sit beside Inuyasha and Kenochi says, in a plain tone, "I'm sorry that this happened, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha says, in a serious tone, "It's been six months, but it feels like it was yesterday that I lost my friends and Korvo-o…no…Korvo's betrayal towards us!"

Kenochi says, in a snarl, "Let's not even think of that dirty backstabber! The hell with him I'd say!"

Inuyasha says, solemnly, "I know! It's not fair! I also miss Melody-nee and Zera-nee too! Even though they're not showing it, I can tell that they are hurting inside."

Kenochi says, with a plain tone, "I know, bro! I wish that there's something I can do for them, but I'm stuck!"

Just then, a familiar female voice calls out, "You don't have to worry about us, Kenochi!" Inuyasha and Kenochi turns to see their sisters walking towards them with different looks, where Zera was wearing the same thing that we see her wearing the present with her hair down with Suzame's sword behind her back and Melody with her hair tied to a high ponytail with another one of Suzame's swords to her waist. Both of them had eyes, hardened, even more, where the kindness that they once shown was no more, but replaced with a cool, lonely, cruel, cynical, and somewhat arrogant glint.

Inuyasha was surprised by the looks that his sisters were giving off and Inuyasha asks, curiously, "Are you two okay?"

Melody says, with a sly grin, "Of course, bro! It's not that we're going to stay in that room forever."

Zera says, with a serious tone, "Considering that we have a plan!"

Kenochi asks, curiously, "What is it?"

Zera says, with a serious tone, "Well, Sonoko, Melody, and I were practicing arts that surpasses that priestess magic called demonic priestess magic! We're going to use it to take our revenge of the people who took away our friends and loved one from us!"

Kenochi says, seriously, "You mean that it's revenge that you're after!"

Zera tells Kenochi, with a serious glare, "Kenochi, I'm doing this to make sure that Inuyasha and Melody are never hurt ever again! When Lady Izayoi was alive, she told me that our father wanted a world were humans and demons will coexist in harmony, but it's the priestesses are the problems! We lost our loved ones because of them! As far as I'm concerned, I will never forgive them!"

Melody says, with a serious tone, "Same here! However, we will continue to bring more half-demon orphans to the castle to protect them from the outside world where they'll never get hurt by the humans and demons that sought to destroy them! However, we'll need a vacant village for them to leave in and we thought of the perfect village. The same village that was responsible for the murder of Yuki-chan when we were little kids! We'll clear the humans there so the half-demon children can live there."

Inuyasha says, in a serious tone, "I think that's a good idea, you two, but what if, the asshole who helped the priestess that killed the other half-demon children?"

Zera tells Inuyasha, with a serious glare, "Baby brother, I told that fool never to show his face in my lands ever again and I had many of my guards to make sure that he does stay out."

Inuyasha says, with a nervous sweatdrop, "Oh right! When do we start?"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "We'll tonight! I want you and Melody to clear out the humans by any means necessary."

Melody says, with a sly grin, "You don't have to worry about that, Ane-ue!"

(Later that night; in the village)

In the night, we find ourselves in front of an entrance of a nearby village where we hear many screams of terror as we find many of the villagers running around in fear as we see a familiar red blur, which turns into Inuyasha, who was scaring them.

Inuyasha yells out, with a nasty tone, "That's right, you lousy humans! Run! Run!" Just then, the smell of human blood came across his nose and Inuyasha says, stunned, "Human blood!" Just then, Inuyasha hears the pain filled scream in a far as he rushes over into one of the huts to see his sister with her sword drawn, standing over three young male teenage humans who were on their knees and Inuyasha calls out, seriously, "Melody-nee!" Inuyasha then looks in horror as he sees three slain bodies of male human beings behind his sister.

Melody looks up to Inuyasha and she says, with a sly smile, "Hey Inuyasha! You're just in time to see the three bastards responsible for Yuki-chan's death before they die!"

Inuyasha says, shocked, "What!"

One of the teenagers says, fearfully, "I don't know what you're talking about! We didn't kill anyone!"

Melody says, with a sneer, "Don't play dumb! Your scents smell almost similar to the three humans that accused my friend, Yukiko, of attacking you three, eight years ago!"

The second male teenager yells out, horrified, "Those were our fathers!"

Melody says, with a sly sneer, "So, it's true! You're the ones, who's responsible for Yukiko's death, when you lied about her attacking you when you know damn well that she didn't do anything of the sorts! Just like your fathers died when I killed them!"

The third teenager says, horrified, "You killed them!"

Inuyasha calls out, seriously, "Melody-nee, stop! We were to scare them off, not to kill them!"

Melody says, in a serious tone, "I don't give a damn anymore! I want revenge for what they've done!" With one swipe of her sword, Melody cuts off the three heads of the teenagers and their bodies fell to the ground, horrifying her brother to the core. Melody then jumps out of the hut to find more humans and she spots them running away. Melody says, with a sly grin, "Well, that was more effective!" Soon enough, Inuyasha walks out of the hut with an angry look on his face and stops in front of his sister.

Inuyasha says, lowly, "Melody-nee!"

Melody asks, curiously, "What is it?"

Inuyasha turns to her with an angry and annoyed glare and he says, annoyed, "How could you?"

Melody asks, curiously, "How could I what?" Inuyasha then leaps away from the abandoned village and his sister with Melody calling him back and Melody calls out, seriously, "Hey Inuyasha, wait!" Melody then follows her brother away from the village.

(Back in front of Zera's castle; sometime later)

In front of Zera's castle, we find Inuyasha and Melody approaching the front of the castle with Zera and Kenochi standing by the stairs.

Zera asks, curiously, "How did it go?"

Melody says, with a sly grin, "It went well!"

Inuyasha says, annoyed, "Until you went and killed those humans!"

Melody asks Inuyasha, curiously, "Is that why you were so mad about! I had to do it since it was their fault that Yuki-chan is killed as well as Suzame-onee-chan, So-chan, and the man that I loved with my heart, Ren-chan is dead and those other humans were in the way! Besides, we were ordered to clear them out by any means necessary!"

Zera says, with a nod, "That's good work, you two!"

Inuyasha yells out, shocked, "What!"

Zera tells Inuyasha, seriously, "Inuyasha, I said to clear them out by any means necessary, right! It's not like you had to kill them all to get what you want from them! No, the execution will be only reserved for priestesses and priestesses only!"

Inuyasha yells out, horrified, "You want us to kill them!"

Zera says, with a plain tone, "Actually, Melody and I will handle execution since we know the act of demonic priestess magic and we'll use its magic to slaughter those pigs until there's no other priestess in the land."

Inuyasha exclaims, angrily, "I can't believe what I'm hearing!" With that, Inuyasha rushes into the castle and towards his room and Melody goes in after him, but Zera holds her back.

Zera tells Melody, in a plain tone, "Don't! He'll come around eventually!"

(In the middle of the night)

In the middle of the night and many days later, we find ourselves in front of Zera's castle as it was raining heavily onto it and we find a familiar red blur leaving the castle and we see that it's Inuyasha leaving the castle.

Just then, Kenochi's voice calls out, "Inuyasha!" Inuyasha then turns to see Kenochi staring at him with a serious glare as Kenochi walks towards him. Kenochi asks him, "You'd like to talk about it?"

Inuyasha says, in a serious tone, "Ani-ue, I don't know what to do! I have to leave here! It's like ever since our friends died, we're losing our sisters to their hate more and more! I've decided to run away since Melody-nee and Zera-nee are gone priestess killing again, so by the time that they come back, I'll be already gone. By getting near them, I can pick up the scent of blood belonging to priestesses by their claws and it's too much for me to take!"

Kenochi asks, curiously, "Where will you go?"

Inuyasha says, in a serious tone, "I don't know! I just need to clear my head for a while and once I do, I'll come back! One day, but not right away, please, let me go, Ani-ue! I know that Zera-nee had made a telepathy link with me and Melody-nee, but I'm going to cut mine off so I won't be found by them. I'll be fine with the robe of the fire rate that my mother gave me when I got older."

Kenochi says, placing his hands on his brother's shoulders, "I'll miss you, little brother!"

Inuyasha says, with a sad smile, "I know! I have to go, Ani-ue! Please give Melody-nee and Zera-nee my love! No matter what happens, I'll still love them as well as you!" With that, Inuyasha rushes away from the castle and into the world that will be a very harsh one, one that will throw endless challenges along the way.

Kenochi says, with a sad smile, "Goodbye, Inuyasha and I'll always love you too!"
