CHAPTER 2
The afternoon:
"Leiko, May I speak with ye please?" Kaede asked of the child. While waiting for the demoness to approach, she stood there remembering how she had taken the child in so many years ago.
--
FLASHBACK:
The priestess came upon a crying child in the woods around the village. She carefully approached asking, "What’s wrong with ye child?"
Slightly startled, the child looked up, "I’m sorry; I did not mean to disturb you. I thought I was the only one here. I will go now," standing to walk off.
Kaede cut the child off, "No, please don't leave yet.” Watching tears fall down the child’s cheeks, she repeated softly, “What's wrong?"
The child sighed and said, "Well, I have done some things in the past, which I cannot seem to forget no matter how hard I try to." Assaulted by her memories, she shook her head and started crying again.
Kaede looked at child and felt her heart soften. Even though this child was a young demon, she didn’t sense any evil from her. Seeing a child so young so torn up emotionally, she felt her heart go out to the kid. Smiling kindly at the emotional child, she offered, "If ye would like, ye may stay with me for the time being."
Hesitantly the child looked at woman and said, "But I... um… you do realize that I’m a wolf demon right?" confused that the priestess wasn’t running her off.
The old woman laughed and replied, "Aye child, but ye are still just a child and too young to be on ye own and to look so lost.” The child blinked and tried to decide what to do. Kaede encouraged, “Come child and live with me- for awhile at least."
After another moment of debating, the child took her hand and said, "Okay, but I will earn my keep! I'm not the best at it by any means, but I can do some healing." Kaede smiled and nodded her head, before leading the child back to her village.
Over the next four years, Kaede tested the child’s knowledge at healing and the powers of a priestess, and taught the child all the knowledge that she had been taught by her elder, now deceased, sister Kikyo.
END FLASHBACK!

Present day:
"My dear Leiko, ye have surpassed this old priestess. I’ve never seen a more powerful priestess in all my years.” With obvious affection for the child she had helped hone into the fine woman she was today, Kaede added, “Mayhap ye have even surpassed my dead sister Kikyo's powers. There is no more I can teach ye child." staring the young demoness in the eyes.
Leiko replied sadly, "But Kaede, you have been like a grandmother to me." not ready to leave yet.
"I know child and ye are like a granddaughter to me, but mayhap it is time for ye to return, to-" the older lady said, feeling it was time for the young woman to face her past.
Feeling the weight of the world on her shoulders, Leiko cut her off sadly, "Oh Kaede... I don't know if I’m ready to go back. I don't think I will ever be ready to lead the tribe." She had tried so hard these last four years, to forget the follies of her past, but she still remained weighed down with guilt and self loathing over how easily she had been fooled.
Kaede shook her head and said sternly, "Now ye listen to me child, ye must go back- if naught else then for your poor granddad." old eyes softening at the sadness in her young apprentice’s eyes.
Leiko sighed, "I know Kaede.” Squaring her slumped shoulders, she added, “I just hope I’m ready for it, when I see him again.” Voice filled with uncertainty. Gathering her courage around her like a cloak, she said determinedly, “However, I am no longer a child and my foolishness is behind me."
Kaede added proudly, "No, Ye are no longer a child, but a grown woman. The most powerful priestess I have ever seen, and a very skilled hunter,” adding a bit amused, “Mayhap even a more powerful fighter than Inuyasha.” Her eyes were twinkling with laughter.
Becoming gravely serious, the older priestess added, “Be that as it may, ye should return to your tribe and face the past.” Placing a withered old hand on the younger woman’s tanned shoulder, she announced, “The time has come child for ye to return." staring her deep in the eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Leiko nodded, and hugged Kaedee saying, "Thank you Kaede, for everything! I will never forget you. I will visit often." with pure conviction in her voice.
Kaede smiled and said, "I will miss ye as well, and look forward to your visits." happy that the young girl had agreed to continue on her journey.
Sniffing Leiko said, "You are right Kaede. I will leave at first light tomorrow to return to my grandfather.” Holding her head high, she added seriously, “Thanks again Kaede, for everything.” staring at her with serious eyes.
Kaede smiled and said, "We should be getting back to Inuyasha and the others. Now come, let us return.” Slowly the two females walked back to the camp and join Inuyasha and the others.
Taking a deep breath and squaring her shoulders, Leiko announced, "It is time, I shall return to my grandfather in the morning. Farewell my friends, we will meet again soon.” before slowly walking in to the small hut and reluctantly going to bed. She forced her body to sleep.
Early the next morning, before the sun even rose, Leiko soundlessly got up and gathered her meager belongings, before beginning the long trek back towards the northern mountains, where she had been raised.
--
Meanwhile in the northern mountains Koga was with the elder:
Greeting his visitor, Komo walked in asking hopefully, "Koga, any word of her yet?" the wizened old wolf demon held his breath as he waited for the young warrior’s answer.
Wishing he’d had happier news for his older friend, Koga looked at the elder and replied, "Not yet elder.” Watching a deep sadness fill the older wolf’s eyes, Koga assured, “But I know that she is alive! I feel it deep down." placing a comforting hand on the older man’s shoulder.
Komo nodded his head and said, "As do I Koga. I just wish that she would have returned by now." Sighing heavily, he turned his head walking sadly and got back into his bed.
Renewed determination filling his very core at the sight of the elder’s pain, Koga left the cavern and joined his men, determined to find the missing heiress and demand some answers.
Bright and early the next morning, Koga and his men set off again, relentlessly resuming the hunt for his childhood friend.
--
Back with Leiko a day later:
After traveling all day and night, the demoness began scanning the area for a decent spot to stop and eat. "Well, it’s only two hours until sunset. I will stop here for the night and set up camp." she thought to herself. She stopped and set up camp, and then hunted for food. She came back carrying a few rabbits, made a stew, and then decided to bathe in the river.
After undressing and setting her weapons aside, Leiko glided into the steamy water and sat down slowly bathing, before allowing her body to slowly relax.
--
Not ten miles away:
Two of the three wolves were reaching their limits. "Koga, let’s stop and rest for the night, please?" said Ginta between pants.
"Yeah, the wolves are exhausted." added Hakaku, also bent over and huffing to catch his breath.
"Man you two wimps are something else!” Koga huffed slightly irritated. Noticing how worn out his companions looked, Koga’s eyes slightly softened and he relented saying, “Fine rest here and I will go hunt for dinner." before taking off to hunt.
--
While hunting, Koga came across a riverbank and decided to stop for a drink, when he smelt the scent of a female wolf demon. His ears perked up as he heard in an incredibly sexy woman's voice.
She demanded, "Who's there? Show yourself now!" as she rose up out of the water to quickly grab her nearby sword.
As she rose from the water, Koga’s eyes widened at the beauty before him. She had the sleek athletic body of a goddess, with hair that shined like the sun, only midnight black, and reached to her waist. She had a sun kissed glow to her skin that was even noticeable in the moonlight. She also had curves that would make any woman, human or demon, jealous.
At her forceful command, Koga appeared instantly in front of her and looked at her face amused. "Who are you, and what do you want with me?" she demanded, while holding her sword in a defensive position, as she warily eyed the stranger.
He chuckled, "Well now that depends. What’s a beauty like you doing all alone in a place like this?" He asked, eying her naked beauty appreciatively.
Spine stiffening, she barked out, "That is none of your concern!” eyes narrowing at the male intruder, she demanded, “State your business and be gone!" growing angry.
Koga threw his head back and laughed. "My you’re a feisty one," amused by her spiritedness.
Emitting a low growl warning him to keep his distance, she warned, "You have no idea," flicking her sword in a motion to warn him away.
Koga grinned and said, "Relax, I mean you no harm." sending her a friendly smile.
She demanded, "If what you say is true, then I suggest you turn your back, so that I may dress." eyes never leaving her opponent.
He laughed and asked, "Why? I am quite enjoying the view, besides I have already seen you naked." enjoying ribbing her a bit.
She sent him a death glare until he shook his head laughing and said, "Very well." presenting her with his back so that she could dress.
She dressed quickly and once she was done she said, "I'm done now. You can turn around," eyes still boring into his back angrily.
Koga laughed and turned back around asking, "So tell me, where are you heading?"
She replied bitingly, "Not that it's any of your business, but I’m returning to my grandfather up in the Northern Mountains." as she slipped her sword into it’s sheathe.
Standing stock still, Koga's jaw dropped and he gasped, "Don't tell me that you’re Leiko!?"
Frowning and wondering how he knew her name, she nodded her head and confirmed, "Yes, I am." staring at him with caution in her eyes.
