Next chapter! Here goes nothing…

 

 

Chapter 4:

 

 

`Panting heavily she hooked a right. She had to get away! Running blindly, she went deeper into the forest, she didn't intend to stop. Neither did she intend to even bother to turn around, to know he was following her. He was quicker than she thought he was. Thudding footsteps could be heard behind her, he was closing in fast. Heart thundering, his animalistic growls could be heard.

 

Stupid bitch! How dare she run away from her alpha?! Didn't she know how to submit?He thought angrily.

 

Damn it, he's catching up quick. To say she was scared was an understatement.

 

All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a black blur leaped from above her. No sooner later did the mentioned demon stood face to face with his miko companion. She looked at his appearance, no longer was he the man she fell in love with. He was covered in blood, mostly from the demon that he just brutally slaughtered.

 

Deep, red eyes bore its way into hers as he inched his way forward, causing her to automatically step back. Her eyes were wide in fear but it wasn't fear for her own being, no. It was fear for the man she loved, standing before her, claws ready to strike. Why? She thought. His demon side was unleashed from its cage. Funny how he was a full demon but still contained a part of him that was uncontrollable.

 

It was all Mangetsu's fault. Ever since their encounter at her castle, Nagataka seemed to change more often into an uncontrollable demon. This time, he didn't seem to come back to his senses, even when she attempted the spell that bound him to her. It didn't even seem to have an effect on him anymore.

 

He continued to stare at her with that same stoic expression. He didn't even remember who she was…at least that's what she thought. His once loving blue-green eyes were now a deep, blood red. His voice became deeper, almost unrecognizable. His skin was much paler, his demon markings clearly standing out as it took on a much deeper hue. His claws and teeth were lengthened…clearly making him a deadly weapon.

 

He was still a good 20 feet away from her. Taking a deep breath, she steadied her bow and arrow. The untamed demon stopped dead in his tracks, a feral growl erupting from his throat.

 

What the hell was his bitch doing?!

 

Pulling it taut, she channeled all her miko energy into that one shot. She could end it all, right now with that single arrow. Many villages would be saved, along with the people that lived in them. They would all be safe from this horrible monster. But…this monster was her best friend, her companion, her protector, her love. She slightly faltered; did she have the heart to purify him? She silently asked her self that over and over, and the same answer came. No. Pulling back, once again, she aimed straight for his heart…she looked into his blood red orbs, tears streaming down from her chocolate ones. He was taken a back at what he saw set in them. Determination, fear, hurt, sadness, and was that…his eyes widened in realization. Right when she was about to release her arrow, she heard...'

 

“HIGURASHI!”

 

Jumping halfway out of her skin, she ignored the snickering students and looked up at the fuming teacher. Silently cursing her math teacher, she looked down at her book in disappointment, realizing she won't get to finish the last few chapters of the book. Sighing, she looked up at the teacher to show she was listening.

 

After calming down from his outburst and the students had settled, he looked back at the girl.

 

He loved the fact that she was a reader, don't get him wrong, but she over does it. He needed her to pay attention in class. Whatever happened to the Kagome Higurashi who was always attentive and ready before everyone else? Lately, she had been slacking off.

He was not the only one who noticed this either. All her teachers, in fact, had the same comments about her unusual behavior for the past few weeks. Their theories of her behavior, all lead back to that book that was constantly attached to her hand. `What is so interesting about that book she's reading?'

 

“Gomen nasai, Takeda-sensei.” She apologized blushing, interrupting his thoughts. She put her book away so fast, it was impossible for even the person next to her to catch a glimpse of the title.

 

She definitely didn't want to get caught reading that book. She would get sent to the office for sure. Books like these were forbidden. Any talk of demons was asking for suspension.

 

Her mother put her in here because it was the best high school in Tokyo. She was reluctant at first because of how the school was so discriminatory towards demons. But in the end she thought about what would be best for her daughter, academically wise, of course.

 

It was pretty funny, that this school was based on all human students. She knew for a fact that there were at least a few hundred students that were of demon blood. Administration didn't care to test their students for demon heritage because they didn't know there were concealment spells.

 

“Well I expect you to start solving more math equations instead of reading. This is not English, Ms. Higurashi.” He hated having to lecture her in front of class but he did not believe in favoritism. That's why every one of his students respected him; he treated them all equally, regardless of their performance in class.

 

Still curious at what caught the attention of his best student, he asked the question she had been dreading since she started it. “Do you mind sharing this all-so-wonderful book with the class, Higurashi?” he asked sarcastically.

 

Realization hit her and she cursed her stupidity for reading it in this class. Her answer kept turning over and over in her head. She was never a really good liar. Finally deciding that she would just have to face the consequences, she decided on telling the truth.

 

Opening her mouth to speak, she was saved by the bell, literally. The teacher still looking at her curiously, he excused his students. Walking half-way out the door she waited for her teacher to try and stop her. When he made no move to do so, she continued out and down the hall.

 

`That was so close.' She heaved a sigh of relief.

 

Opening her locker, she attempted to gather her things out of her locker and head home. Too bad she was only 5 ft. `Damn it.' she cursed her shortness. `I just need someone tall…'

 

“Kagome!” she looked at the source of the voice and smiled. `Bingo.'

 

“Konichiwa, Souta.” she greeted. “I need your help…” she said, looking up at her locker.

 

Shaking his head, he smiled, “You really need to grow up, Onee-chan.”

 

“Damatte, Souta-chan.” She said playfully. “You're practicing for soccer already?” she asked, noticing his soccer uniform for the first time.

 

“Hai. It's actually conditioning, though. Real practice doesn't start until two weeks.” He stated, while grabbing her things for her. He shut her locker and walked with her to the front of the school. “How did you get to school today? I didn't see you this morning.” he asked, breaking the silence.

 

“Oh, Miroku and Sango asked if I needed a ride, how could I turn down an offer like that.” She stated laughing. Seeing his questioning gaze, she answered his silent question. “We had to pick up Miro's friend too, which is probably why you got to school before me.”

 

Nodding, Souta asked, “Is Miro's friend the new guy at our school?” looking at her questioning eyes, he simply replied, “Just curious.”

 

Looking back up at him, she laughed at the determination in his eyes. His question was anything but mere curiosity.

 

“You don't need to worry, little brother. I can handle myself.”

 

“I know, I know. I'm worried that he can't handle himself.” Noticing his sister's confusion, he said, “Come on, Kags. Don't tell me you don't see it?”

 

“See what?” she didn't understand what he was trying to tell her.

 

“Did you not notice the way he growled at Houjo for just talking to you?”

 

“When did I talk to Houjo?”

 

Souta rolled his eyes, he should have known. She never paid Houjo any attention, so why would she remember having a conversation with him. Sometimes his sister seemed too oblivious. She didn't even know almost the whole male body in school wanted a piece of her and if it wasn't for him, they would all be asking her out on a regular basis. `Good thing I convinced Mom to let me learn kickboxing, karate, and judo. Who knew how handy it would become in the future.' He smirked at the memories of scaring even the toughest kids in school. If anyone wanted to date his sister, they would have to go through him first, and that wasn't happening anytime soon.

 

A rush of wind passed them and shook Souta out of his musings. `When did we get outside?' he thought. They were almost to the front gate and only one person he could think of could cause such a strong wind. “Kouga.” Man did he hate that demon with a passion.

 

Kouga Ookami, the demon who never took no for an answer and the fastest runner Souta has ever seen, even if he was a demon. The guy was handsome and had the way with the ladies. He wore his hair tied back into a high ponytail bound by a brown rubber band. Today he sported a brown wife beater with gray sweats and running shoes to top off his look. By the way he was sweating; it seemed he just took a break from practice. He was the image of the perfect male and had the charm to complete that fact, or so did more than half the female population at school said.

 

The downside of him, though, was that he was stubborn when it came to arguments and rejection. He asked Kagome out on a daily basis and each time Kagome would come up with an excuse or kept mentioning she saw him more as a brother than a boyfriend. But the guy never seemed to take a hint. Souta tried discouraging him multiple times, but the stubborn demon wouldn't have it.

 

Kouga looked Souta up and down, sizing him up. In the beginning, he was afraid of the squirt just because he was afraid the brat would rat on him being a demon. But he soon found out the kid wouldn't do such a stupid move without risking his friend being found out too. Was it Souten? How the kid knew who were demons was a mystery to him, but he didn't care about that now. He had something else to do, in fact…

 

“Hello, Kagome.” He smirked.

 

Kagome made an attempt to greet Kouga back when Souta cut her off. Fuming, Souta interrupted his sister's reply, “What are you doing here, Kouga? I thought you had practice?”

 

“Souta! That's just rude. Sorry, Kouga. He's been a bit on edge lately.” She apologized, giving her brother a glare. He returned it with one of his “We'll discuss this later” look.

 

“That's alright, Kags. I haven't talked to you in a while, how've you been?” he asked, not noticing the looks the siblings were shooting back at each other.

 

“I've been fine, you know, the usual. How about you, what have you been up to lately?”

 

“Well, Cross Country is coming to its end and I'm going to start conditioning for track. But that's pretty much it.”

 

Smiling, Kagome replied, “Well I gotta get going, Kouga, you know how I don't like to walk home too late. I'll see you tomorrow.” She said as quickly as she could, already knowing what was going to come out of his mouth if she kept talking to him.

 

As she and her brother turned to leave, his question stopped her in her tracks.

 

“Hey! I was wondering…what are you doing this weekend?”

 

`I was so close too.' Holding in an annoyed sigh, she looked at Souta helplessly, but all he did was shrug. He honestly couldn't help her. He ran out of excuses and threats a long time ago. Kouga just had a very thick head.

 

Just when she was about to reject Kouga's offer, again, she felt arms wrap around her waist, and a familiar voice replied behind her ear, the warmth of his breath making her shiver, “She's doing me, you mangy wolf, so fuck off.”

 

Inuyasha was just going to head back to headquarters to give his report, that's when he noticed Kagome's distressed aura practically radiating off of her a good 100 feet away. Looking toward her direction, he saw two boys with her. One of them he recognized immediately. `What the hell is that asshole doing here?'

 

As he continued to watch the exchange, he could see Kagome quickly wave goodbye to the stupid wolf and started to walk off. That's when the wolf's question reached his ears. Jealousy radiated off of him as he waited for Kagome's answer but she seemed to be at a loss of words.

 

Smirking, he decided to help her out and get a bit of entertainment at being able to set off his arch rival too.

 

As he quickly sprinted behind her, realization hit him. `Shit. How could I miss it? The five most powerful gangs in Tokyo are in one place. It's amazing we hadn't killed each other yet. Could it be that they're here on account of the rumors too? Fuck if they were…he didn't even want to know.”

 

That was last thing he wanted. He didn't want any innocents getting caught in the middle of an all out gang war. But already he had people annoying him and it was only the first day of school, for fuck's sake. He doubted he could last any longer without knocking someone's lights out.

 

He already had a few people on his list to kill. First, Houjo had to go make a move on Kagome today, then there was Kikyou being the bitch and slut he knew she was. Now this asshole was trying to get her to go on a date with him. `Hell if I let that bastard get Kagome.'

 

He already knew his feelings for the girl but he wasn't about to voice it to the world. Hell would have to freeze over first. Besides, he wouldn't get her involved in this power struggle, she didn't deserve that.

 

Holding back her anger, for the moment, she thought, `He's only trying to help. He's only trying to help… But damn it, he didn't have to put it that way. Of all the damn things he had to say…' Blushing furiously and trying to keep her voice calm, she replied sheepishly, “Well, uh, did that answer your question, Kouga?” `Kami that sounded so stupid.'

 

Souta suddenly burst into laughter, unknowingly making the air more thick with tension. But he couldn't help himself; the look on Kouga's and Kagome's faces was priceless. He decided quickly that this new guy was on his favorites list. Who knew Miroku had friends that were so blunt.

 

Glaring at Souta then turning it to the mutt, to say he was angry was an understatement. How dare that mutt put his arm around his woman and that fuckin' ningen, `If he wasn't Kagome's little brother…' he growled maliciously, “She's mine, you dirty mutt.”

 

Cocking an eyebrow, he retorted sarcastically, “Then why doesn't she have your scent?” He proceeded to smell her hair, both to get his point across and out of sheer enjoyment. Mostly the latter though.

 

Feeling his youki flare, Inuyasha looked up at the fuming wolf. He was furious. “She will soon have my scent because I've claimed her as my mate.” He stated cockily.

 

Violet eyes flashed a dangerous red before it turned to its original color. He made an attempt to grab his hip, only to grab air. Cursing, he tried to keep his demonic side under control, shutting his eyes tightly. Apparently his demon side didn't like it when the mangy wolf claimed what was his as his mate. `Fuck that.'

 

Both Kagome and Souta noticed the change in Inuyasha's aura, she found it strange the way it changed so quickly. `Is he a demon or is he human?' she thought. Kouga seemed oblivious to the whole thing, though. Kagome turned around in Inuyasha's arms and gently brushed her fingers passed his cheeks to grab the back of his neck, right under his hair line.

 

Opening his eyes, he looked down and saw Kagome's bright blue ones. `So innocent.' He thought.

 

Gasping, she looked deeper into his eyes. `Did his eyes just flash red?'

 

“Are you alright?” she questioned worriedly.

 

“Keh, I'm fine wench.” he whispered gruffly before instincts took over. Pushing her aside and behind him, he growled at his challenger, but it came out more human than he wanted it to.

 

Kouga watched the exchange between the two and was so furious he couldn't form words. `What right did this fucking mutt have, to hold his woman that way?' After getting into his fighting stance, that's when he noticed it. There was a change in the mutt's scent and his youki.

 

“About time I get a decent fight.” He smiled cockily.

 

Right when Inuyasha was going to deal the first blow, a campus security guard came out of nowhere. Obviously one of the onlookers in the distance told the security about the confrontation.

 

“What's going on here?” The man was tall but had a belly that bulged through his security uniform. His eyes were a light brown and his wavy mahogany locks had slight gray streaks in them. Although he looked like he was a man that couldn't run ten feet, he was quite strong.

 

“I suggest you get on going ladies.” He said sternly. Deciding that he done his job he walked off slowly, making sure if they didn't listen he would still have time to stop them.

 

Ignoring the fact he just been insulted, Kouga turned to Inuyasha, “This isn't over mutt.” Watching his retreating form, Inuyasha muttered, “yeah, whatever.”

 

Holding in her anger long enough, Kagome lashed out, “Who gave you the right to put your arms around me like that and what the hell was with that comment?! Are you nuts?”

 

Taken off guard by her sudden outburst, he yelled back, “Hey! I was only trying to help and don't say you could handle yourself because I could practically see your nervousness rolling off of you. You had no idea what to say to him, did you?”

 

Kagome stood there shocked. She never knew he was a logical person when it came to arguments. Totally at a loss for words, she remained silent.

 

Smirking, knowing he won this round, he turned his attention to the boy clad in his soccer uniform. By his scent he knew it was Kagome's sibling. He was a good looking kid. Where had he seen him before though? Before he could answer his own question, another boy on the other side of the courtyard yelled for Souta to hurry up.

 

“Tell Coach I'm coming!” Souta yelled back at him.

 

The boy nodded and ran off in the direction of the soccer field.

 

Souta turned his attention back to Inuyasha, who was studying him closely. Who was he? He seemed so familiar. Not having the time to dwell on his own lingering questions, he had to get to practice soon so he gave his sister her things and a hug before he bid his farewells. He mentioned to her that he'll be home late again tonight and to tell their mom not to wait up.

 

Watching her brother running off to practice, she decided to question him later. Lately he had been spending more and more of his nights out and collapsing in his bed early in the morning. She wasn't stupid, she checked on him every now and then. She had to because no one else could. Her mother was working 3 jobs so was hardly home and her grandpa was too old to be baby-sitting, as he liked to call it. So, she had to take up the motherly role, which was why she and Souta were so close.

 

“So, that was your brother.” He stated.

 

“Yep, that's Souta. The other boy who called him was Sango's little brother-”

 

“Kohaku.” He finished for her.

 

He remembered him. He was their gang's `delivery boy'. The boy was quick too. He got in and out in record speed, never spending too much time in one place, just in case something went wrong. But the boy never worked alone either. He always brought his friend with him, saying it was for protection. Their gang didn't even know who the mysterious boy was because he always had his face covered up, wanting to be anonymous. Kohaku also said he didn't want to get him and his family involved so thus, he wore a black bandana around his face, only showing his eyes. His eyes showed wisdom beyond their years and innocence of a child. He was only a kid, yet he would go every night to be his friend's personal bodyguard. They gave him the name Kage, since he always wore black and was very obedient, also for his weird ways of appearing and disappearing at the most appropriate times. It was strange when he couldn't detect him, his scent seemed to disappear in thin air. Damn spell or whatever it was that covered his scent.

 

He recalled a couple of times when the boy got shot in his leg or some other part of his body and he would freak out, saying something about his sister giving it to him. On those nights he would call home and amazingly every time his sister was up to answer the phone. He would lie and say he was sleeping over Kohaku's, when in actuality he would spend the night at the head quarters. He didn't like the fact the boy lied to his worried sister but he didn't know why. Besides who would in their right mind want an angry female finding out her kid brother was a part of a gang and came down to give it to them herself. On the other hand, he always wondered if his sister was hot, then she could give it to him all the time.

 

“How do you know Kohaku?” interrupted his perverted thoughts. He swore he hung out too much with the `monk'. It was beginning to rub off.

 

He just shrugged his shoulders, “Miroku and Sango have been together how long?” he answered her question with another one.

 

“Since she was 14, so about…” counting the years on her fingers, she answered, “3 to 4 years, why?”

 

“Wouldn't it be common sense if I was Miro's best friend and he introduced me to his girlfriend 3 years ago, wouldn't I know her little brother too?” he said smartly.

 

“Well, yeah, but you didn't have to be so smart ass about it.” she huffed.

 

“Whatever wench, look I got to go. Will you be alright by yourself?”

 

Noticing the concern in his voice, she decided to let the wench comment slide. “Yeah, I'll be fine. Besides, I usually walk home by myself when Souta starts his conditioning.”

 

He didn't know why but he didn't like that she walked home by herself. `Damn it!' he growled inwardly. Ever since he met the girl she's been all he ever thought about and he only really knew her for a day! What the hell was the matter with him?

 

Having no other choice, he told her he'll see her later and ran off before he did something stupid, like offering to walk her home. Leaving the girl behind with confusion etched on her face.

 

She didn't even get to ask what happened during his verbal battle with Kouga.

 

~OoOoOoOoO~

 

The moonlight shone brightly through his opened balcony doors. Leaning against his door's frame, he let the cool breeze caress his face. His gaze looked over the beautiful scenery, only to find huge amounts of trees. Not a sound could be heard, except the occasional song of the crickets.

 

How long had he been waiting? `3, 4 hours' he guessed. `Where is he?'

 

The man with incredibly long silver hair, turned away from his balcony doors and back towards his bedroom. Leaving his doors open just in case his brother decided to come late, as always. Walking over to his oak closet, he took his time admiring the engraved designs.

 

Inside the closet held his most prized possessions'. His tai-youkai armor that he inherited from his deceased father and his white kimono with red hexagon designs was placed in the middle of the closet, while his swords were placed on each side. He wielded two swords; Tokijin and Tenseiga.

 

Tenseiga was created from one of his deceased father's fangs and he inherited it when he passed. His brother had Tetsusaiga which was also forged from his father's fangs but could take 100 lives in one sweep, while Tenseiga could bring the dead back to life.

 

Tokijin was a different story. It was created by a fang of an oni named Goshinki. It was massively destructive and could match even Tetsusaiga in strength. The sword was so powerful only Sesshomaru, himself, could wield it. If anyone else tried to wield it, it would destroy everything in its path.

 

Strapping on his armor and placing his swords on his left hip, he didn't even have to turn around to know his brother was standing behind him.

 

“Getting ready for something, Sessh?”

 

Turning around, he gave his brother his usual stoic expression. “Where have you been, little brother?” he asked, ignoring his brother's question.

 

“Keh, like that's any of your business.”

 

Sesshomaru looked at his younger sibling in slight amusement before he turned it into an icy cold glare. His kid brother was beginning to get a backbone. It was about time he learned something from his older brother.

 

“Alright, Inuyasha, have it your way.” He sighed. “Have you got any updates on the matter at hand?”

 

“If you mean by the whereabouts of the jewel, no, but Saitama High is swarming with gang members.”

 

Sesshomaru looked up, his eyes showing a sign of interest. “Which ones?” he asked, referring to the gangs.

 

“The four other top gangs in Tokyo: The Sanseiu, The Sakkidatta, The Ookami Tribe, and the Band of Seven.” He answered listing them off.

 

“I see…” Sesshomaru whispered. “Do they know the Shizuka Ryooshi is there too?”

 

“I think so. Most of the gang members saw me and Miro today, and who in their right mind would forget the `temper mental hanyou' and the `lecherous monk'?”

 

“True. Were the gang leaders there also, Inuyasha?”

 

“Yeah, actually, all of them except The Sakkidatta's gang leader. Kikyou was assigned for the job, though.”

 

“Hmmm, interesting, I still have yet to know what their leader looks like. He seems to be hiding something, and I plan to find out what.” Sesshomaru said thoughtfully. Changing the subject he asked, “Little brother, how many mikos are attending the High School?”

 

Inuyasha opened his mouth to answer but before he could reply, he was cut off by his brother.

 

“That you are certain is powerful enough to hold such an ancient item.”

 

Thinking, Inuyasha could only come up with three, but knowing full well if Kikyou did have the jewel she would have given it to her boss by now. So that only left two, Rin Tairei and Kagome Higurashi.

 

“I can only think of two…”

 

“Well search them both.” His brother interrupted.

 

“But that's the thing! I searched every single miko in this goddamned city, including those two. Trust me, I couldn't find any signs of the jewel!” he said angrily, more frustrated than anything.

 

Sighing, his brother gave him one of his rare looks, understanding. “Alright, Inuyasha, but you still have to keep an eye out for both of them. We might not be the only ones that figured this out. But may I ask, who are the two-”

 

Sesshomaru was cut off when he heard the echo of his front doors shutting. Looks like their “delivery boys'” were here. He inhaled deep and decided they would continue this conversation later to avoid prying ears.

 

Soon a heavy knock was heard on the other side of his door and the guard spoke deeply, “The boys' are here, what are your orders, Sir?”

 

“Let them know I'll be sending Inuyasha down. He'll let them know the rest.”

 

A silent `yes sir' could be heard on the other side of the door before they heard his footsteps disappearing down the hallway.

 

Not saying another word, Inuyasha decided it was time to take his leave. Heading for the door, he was half way out when his brother stopped him saying, “Inuyasha, watch the delivery boys, we don't want a repeat of last time.”

 

Nodding, Inuyasha continued out the door and down the hall. Reaching the bottom of the staircase, the guard from earlier directed him to one of his brother's study rooms. Opening the door, he was greeted with Kohaku sitting across from him on one of the red couches with Kage seated next to him.

 

Standing Kohaku greeted while giving a slight bow, “Konban wa, Inuyasha-san.”

 

Scoffing, Inuyasha reached over to the kid and messed up his short, brown hair. “What the hell's with the formalities, Kohaku? How long have you known me?” he replied, smirking.

 

Laughing now, the boy combed his hand through his hair making it look, at least, presentable.

 

“You remember my friend, right?” he said.

 

“Your body guard, right?”

 

“Yep, that's the one. By the way, he said he liked the gang's nickname for him.”

 

“Really...” Inuyasha said, while looking at the boy with interest. The boy just nodded, clearly embarrassed but was covering it fairly well. “Still not talking I see.” He stated.

 

Kage shook his head into a negative and looked up at Kohaku, silently telling him something. Inuyasha was soon let in on it when Kohaku spoke up for his friend.

 

“He doesn't want anyone to recognize his voice. He said to me earlier he knew too much gang members in his real life that he doesn't want risking his family if he should fuck up.”

 

Looking at the boy, he saw him nod his confirmation before waiting silently to be spoken to again.

 

“Well, I guess we better get going before the night runs out.” Inuyasha said seriously. “We're going to a street race tonight, so be careful and watch what you say.” Directing the last part to Kohaku, he swore that boy had a mouth on him and he just didn't know when to shut up.

 

“And you, don't go picking fights unless necessary, alright. Or else this time I won't have a problem on telling your sis about what happened to her brother when you come back as a bloody pulp.” He promised, satisfied when he saw the boy visibly gulp and nod vigorously.

 

“Alright, let's go.”

 

 

 

 

~OoOoOoOoOoOoO~

 

Another chapter finished…finally!

I had to keep revising until I found it absolutely perfect. I swear I need a life. I practically carry a story book around jotting down ideas.

 

Sorrie it took me so long but I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

 

A little spoiler for the next chapter, though…lets just say Kagome…well you'll see in the next chapter. Honestly would I really be that mean to spoil the story for you?

 

Well, I hope this chapter kind of clarified some things, you know, about the whole discrimination war thing.

 

Well compliment if you like it and flame me if you don't.

*Putting on fire-proof suit* Okay Ready!

 

Sanseiu-acid rain[this would be a shocker, if you hadn't found out already]

Sakkidatta-blood thirsty [take a wild guess]

Shizuka Ryooshi- Silent Hunters [Sesshomaru]

Ookami tribe- wolf tribe [Kouga]

Band of Seven [Bankotsu]

 

Last names:

 

Tairei- Great Spirit[ I figured the name suited for someone like Rin]

Ookami-wolf [obviously]

 

Also I would like your suggestions on this… Should I have Inuyasha's hair short and spiked or leave it long. Either way I think both looks are sexy but yeah, I would like your opinion. Same with Kohaku, should I change his hair too?...let me know what you think.

 

Please Review!
