I shall give you guys a real good chapter I hope. I know a few of you wish that the pairing will mate soon but I think this chapter and the following ones should clear a few things up. Unlike my other stories, this one will not be a rushed pairing, the trials and errors are going to take a toll on the characters but I will give you a VERY good story that will not be similar to the other stories, we all get bored of the same constant plots. I encourage you to check this site out: wiki/List_of_legendary_creatures_from_Japan

I am using these supernatural listings. I had actually come across it when looking for a name for Touga and the bad guy, Takeshi. I gained a new inspiration for this story, so should I ever confuse you with names of creatures, you will know that I am getting it from here. I will paste this from time to time down the road but as it is, just for one night I have typed 9 chapters, so the story will be slowly progressing so don't be expecting lime or lemons right away.. I do have one lime planned but after a few days of contemplating it, I didn't want to give my characters an easy break and let things go as they plan O:-)

Chapter 10

He watched as his sons left soon after the blacked out moon had set and the sun finally rose, spreading its warm rays across the landscape as it basked and welcomed it. They all looked around to find any noticeable changes to the land, absorbing where the ground had been disturbed in several areas, not yet finding the new presences.

Inuyasha had left on Sesshomaru's red cloud of demon energy that he had created. Still a bit surprised that his elder half-brother had sincerely asked and needed his help, also, without saying it, welcoming him to the fortress. Instead of flying high up, into the clouds, they had hung low, only 50 feet from the tops of the tallest trees on average.

They had a curiosity to sate but also a requisite to know just what exactly they are dealing with and needing to cleanse the land from. They didn't have to wait long to find any of the odd, foreign auras that created the chaos last night, in fact they seemed eager to get to them.

He scanned for any approaching threats, finding them leaving, trailing behind his son's, he felt a small amount of dread but hoped that his son's would be able to handle it and get back to the western fortress with little to no disruption. If only they would increase the speed, he had a feeling they should not leave the air but also had suspicion that even in the air they will not be safe.

Turning around, he decided he should spend his time wisely, gaining the trust of the villagers to be their leader and ensure them that help will come. It would not due if they believed him to be incapable to properly protect them and keep them well. He approached the hut on the right, closest to the fortresses gate, making a note to check on the monk and his family.

Opening it up, he decided to seek the monk out first to gain his favor so he may help him to gain the cooperation of the villagers faster. Finding an area sectioned off from the rest of the hut with thin walls, he made his way through the large hut, some of the villagers moving out of his way, and otherwise he stepped around the ones resting on the floor.

Finally approaching the shoji, he tapped on it lightly, hearing the movement of the staff as it jingled, he waited patiently for the door to open. The monk's calm but curious face greeted him as the door slid open. They both smiled and nodded their heads in greeting before he was allowed entrance. "What brings you hear this morning, Lord Touga? I must say, my wife is eager to meet the demon who had saved our dear friend."

"I wish to see how you and your family are doing. Although I can sense that you are all fine physically for the most part, you may need extra nourishment and supplies." His eyes had caught the newborn's figure as it wiggled a bit in the mother's arms as he took in the surroundings with his budding awareness.

His smile bordering on adoration; he has always been fond of a newborn, determining them to be one of the greatest gifts in life. "The child is quite alert already; I can feel that he will be much like his parents." He complimented earning warm, proud smiles.

"Thank you, Lord Touga. We are actually in need of nourishment, mainly those two." He was quiet a moment. "I did notice that the ominous auras that had been surrounding us all night had followed Lord Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. Do you think that with their distraction it might best to collect outside supplies? I doubt we have enough to feed everyone rations for longer than today." He speculated.

"Yes, you are certainly correct. I have already predetermined to have the villagers make a tally of the supplies. I am certain that water will be of the most importance, as it is, everyone unavoidably has to bathe, cook, clean, and also drink. I agree that they are an advantageous distraction; I will just have to create a barrier, plus take the dragon and fire-cat with me to collect it. Will you help me in my endeavor, I am not positive the villagers will take well to my authority." Calculating a thought on how to retrieve all of these items as fast as possible, he hoped that he could acquire an adequate amount for the first couple of days, and hopefully find the area here in the fortress that they bathe themselves, but he also pondered if one has been made.

I was going to write more but I need to get to bed. I want your thoughts on what you wish the child's name and please give the meaning of it. I figured that it would be a nice treat to you guys. :)
