[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

AN: Helloooo readers!!! I’m really sorry about the wait. I went to Germany for awhile and I wanted to update my other fic before starting this one. And it took my awhile to get back into my other one so it took me awhile to write this. Anyway, here’s the responses to my wonderful, lovely, reviewers.

Suzie- Thanks, and don’t worry, she’s old enough. (I think. Don’t remember how old I made her) Hope this chapter runs well to.

Kagome1322- Yeah, sorry about that but I think I’ve mentioned I’m a evil bitch a few times now. (Mwhahaha) And no, I have no idea how hard it would be for me to stop doing that since I’m writing this story and I already knew she wasn’t dead. (Go me!) I like it when they’re all friends to, makes it easier for them to gang up on the poor guys. (MWHAHAHA! (See how that one got capital letters?)) Thanks for reviewing.

My Otaku- Hey, blame my mother. She’s the one who taught me how to read. And you can blame my father to since he can’t spell either. And you can blame my brother for being...I don’t know, a moron. (Genetics is a cruel, evil, bitch)

Demonprietess07- It was, really? YAY! Sorry if it took to long to update.

Crazypicciloplayer014- ...you know you just gave me a really good idea. (Another round of evil laughing insures) Thanks.

Neko Jer- Thanks, I love it when people love my story.

Tanith- Don’t stop if you feel you need to express more. I would hate it if you had to see a shrink because you kept your emotions bottled up. (If that does happen, please don’t sue me, I’m dirt poor) I have a good sense of humor? Wow, yay me. Thanks for reviewing.

Mediaminer- (yes, there was actually some reviews)

Horsechick- Hey, you reviewed twice! Lucky me. Aww, no one’s ever called my fic wonderful before! ...Um I’d love to response to your second one but I don’t really understand it. Thanks for reviewing anyway.

Kagome2000- Yeah, I know, I suck. Should have updated sooner but at least I’m updating now, right?

Selentiypotter- Thanks.

Kooris_Mate- Oh hey! I wondered what happened to you. Good to hear from you again. Yeah, mediaminer’s weird, but there’s not much you can do about it. Thanks for reviewing.

Leanne5582- Thanks, I’ll try to update faster.
Orlandolover- THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! You know how I love to answer my reviewers questions because I hate it when they’re in suspense (hah)
Question 1. ‘How did Inuyasha find them?’- You’ll find out.
Question 2. ‘Would it be Fluffy Rin was referring to?’- You’ll find out.
Question 3. ‘Did you do this on purpose?’- Ah, duh.
I hope that answered any questions you might have had. Enjoy the rest of the story.

One more thing, I can’t remember everyone’s full titles and I think I’m screwing them up, so I’m writing them down here and these are the final titles. Forget anything else you though or read, alright?
Kagome- Princess Kagome of the North
Kikyo- Queen Kikyo of the North
Sess- Lord Sesshomaru of the West
Inuyasha- Prince Inuyasha of the West
Kouga- Lord Kouga of the East
Hiten- Lord Hiten (lives in the North)
Ayame- Princess/Lady Ayame of the Northern Mountains
Shippo- Shippo
Miroku- Lord Miroku (lives in the West)
Sango- Lady Sango (lives in the West)
Kagura- Lady Kagura (lives in the North)
I think I got everyone.

And finally here’s chapter 28 of Snow White and the Seven ‘Dwarfs’...Sort of.

Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha, I don’t make any money off this story and I have no intention of doing either in the future. (Bursts into tears)




Kagome~

I glanced back at Rin sharply, did she really say what I think she said?
“...you were dead?” Kouga asked bluntly.
Rin didn’t respond, but stared at Sesshomaru, shocked.
“You really were real?” she asked softly, “you weren’t just a angel I dreamed up?”
Sesshomaru opened his mouth to respond but was interrupted as Inuyasha flew in front of him to sweep me into his arms.
“Kagome! Oh Kami Kag, I almost though you were gone.” he said, pressing his nose against my temple and growled in approval of whatever scent reached his nose.
“Inuyasha!” I said, wrapping my arms around you, “It’s good to see you to.”
I pulled back to look at him, “But how did you find me? I’m not even sure where I am.”
Inuyasha let go off me to pull something out of his shirt. “We found this map Miroku made before he disappeared. Where is the pervert anyway? Oh, hey ‘Roku. What did you do that got Kikyo so pissed?”
He smiled cheerfully, “Oh just being my wonderful self.”
Inuyasha looked disgusted and hit him over the head with the map. “Ew, you groped her? That’s sick.”
“YOU GROPED KIKYO MIROKU?” Sango roared. She paused in rasing her boomerang over her head and smiled at Sess and Inuyasha, “Hey guys, I haven’t seen you in awhile have I? YOU’RE DEAD MIROKU!”
“Calm down Sango! I was just joking, and I’m insulted you think I would touch such trash.” Miroku said disappointedly.
Sango slowly let down her weapon, “What happened then?”
“She caught me trying to find Kagome.”
“Sesshomaru? Is that really you?” Kouga asked Sess, squinting his eyes at him.
“If you are really Lord Kouga of the East, yes I am.”
Kouga grinned and the men reached out to clasp each other’s elbows in a warriors handshake. “It’s good to see you again, old friend.”
“It’s good to see you alive. What happened that you ended here?”
Kouga’s eyes darkened, “Kikyo.”
Sess glanced over at the others, “And the rest of you?”
“Kikyo.” everyone said grimly.
“Maybe it’s time we shared our stories. Lord Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, would you care to sit down?” Hiten asked.
Sesshomaru inclined his head to Hiten, “it’s good to see you as well Lord Hiten.”
“Likewise.”
Sesshomaru settled down across from Hiten and Kagura after greeting each other and Inuyasha sat down next to me and started stealing food from my plate.
His eyes widened, “Damn Kag, this is good! You make this? Hand me a plate, I want some more.”
I blushed and handed him a plate while Sess glared at him, “Inuyasha try to contain yourself until we’re done.” he turned to Hiten and raised a brow.
“Kouga you go first, we’ll go in order of who was here first.”
Kouga nodded and swallowed down half his tea. “Alright. It started soon after Nobunaga’s death-“

Flashback~

Kouga ran faster, hoping to make it to the North before nightfall. He had just gotten word of his friend, King Nobunaga’s death and was rushing to his kingdom to make sure it wasn’t some cruel joke.
His lips tightened as he remembered the last letter Nobunaga had sent to him a week before his marriage to that slut Kikyo. He warned him to not trust Kikyo in anyway, and if he died to take his daughter Kagome and bring her under his care.
So here he was, minutes from King Nobunaga’s palace, fulfilling his last wish.
He just hoped it wasn’t to late to save Kag.
He finally reached the palace gates just as the sun was starting to sink. He didn’t even bother to pound on the doors, instead just striding though when one of the guards recognized him
and opened them.
He stalked into the main hall, glaring at any new servants Kikyo had put in. He smiled darkly when they paled and ran away.
“ You must be Lord Kouga, what a pleasure it is to meet you. My husband always talked about you.” Kikyo said as she swept into the hall.
Kouga stopped and clenched his fists, “I’ve come for Kagome.”
Kikyo’s bland hostess smile faded, “What do you mean?”
“I mean Nobunaga didn’t trust you with his daughter. He wants me to take care of her.”
She narrowed her eyes at him, “I’m afraid that’s not possible, I’ve grown attached to my stepdaughter and refuse to give her up.”
Kouga snarled, “You know damn well the only person you love is yourself. And I’ve got a letter from him here, stating Kagome is not to be left with you. Don’t fight me on this Kikyo, you know you’ll lose.”
Kikyo smiled chillingly, “Oh I know about that letter Kouga, I have the other one for Sesshomaru that Nobunaga never got a chance to send out. But the question is, does anyone else know, or did you just blindly rush into things?”
Kouga froze, then bared his claws, “You bitch.”
Kikyo pouted, “Kouga, since when do you talk to a lady like that?” she snapped her fingers and a net weighed down with lead dropped over him and a dozen men jumped out, pointing swords at him.
“Naraku, dearest.” she called out and a evil looking man with red eyes stepped out of the shadows to stand at her side. “Would you like to play with the wolf?”
He smiled gleefully and nodded.
“Alright, have fun.” she said cheerfully as the broad side of a sword came and hit Kouga on head, knocking him out.

Later~

Kouga moaned and rubbed his aching head. He slowly sat up and leaned against the damp, hard wall he was laying next to and waited for his eyesight to adjust to the darkness.
And screamed like a little girl when he saw himself strapped to a table.
“What the hell?” he asked himself, looking down at his freed hands and glancing back at himself on the table.
“My spell will not last long, you need to leave.” a quiet voice said beside him.
Kouga shrieked again, and jerked his head around where a little girl dressed in white sat next to him, holding a mirror in her lap.
“Where did you come from?”
She smiled wistfully, “That is not important right now. I’m shielding you so no one can see you. You will be able to leave the castle safely while Naraku is torturing what he thinks is you. But I’m not strong enough to hold both spells at once, you must leave before Naraku enters. You’ll be visible once you reach the forest.’
Kouga looked hard at her and nodded as he stood up. “Fine, where’s Kagome?”
“I’m afraid you can not take her.”
“What? I have to take her, its for her own safety!” Kouga argued.
The little girl shook her head. “You can not. If Kagome is gone Kikyo will know you live. And Kagome will need you more in the future then she does now.” the girl turned to look at him and her black eyes seemed to pierce his soul. “I promise you she will be alive the next time you meet, but you must go into hiding until that day comes or Kikyo will kill Kagome for sure. I feel Naraku coming, Go quickly, please.”
Kouga gritted his teeth but rushed for the door. He stopped and turned back, “Thank you for saving me, but if Kag doesn’t survive this I’ll hunt you down and kill you.”
The girl nodded. “Very well. Now go!”
Kouga nodded and fled.

End of Flashback~

“Well, what did you do after that?” Shippo asked.
He took another sip from his tea and shrugged, “I found this spot, built the cottage and mined for money when I needed it.”
He looked at Sesshomaru, “What did Kikyo say happened to me?”
“She said that you were attacked by rouge demons and torn to pieces on the way to the North. Then your cousin took over the crown. It’s strange, Inuyasha and I were met by a little girl who you say you met. She told us her name was Kanna and she was helping Kagome. But never mind, I’ll get to that in a minute. Who was the second ‘dwarf’?”
“I was.” Hiten said. “I was lucky enough Kikyo left me alone for a year after her husbands death before coming after me-“

Flashback~

“How are we doing Manten?” Hiten asked his brother as he kicked back and dropped his feet on his chair.
Manten grinned at him over top of files and accounts, his hand sliding over his nearly bald head. “Very well brother. Profits are up, and we have clients lining up to use the services of ‘Thunder Brother’s Shipping’ to send objects all over Japan.”
Hiten smirked and laced his fingers behind his head, “You know Manten, this has to be one of your best ideas ever, using our amazing gifts of flight to start a carrier business. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner.”
Manten shrugged modestly and went back to the books as Hiten sighed blissfully as he listened to the soothing rainfall outside.
“This sure is the life, having a successful company with your own family, money to do what you want, and that hot little number I’m sleeping with. Life sure is sweet. I wonder what Yumi’s going to be wearing when I show up tonight...?” he asked himself
Manten and Hiten paused in what they were doing when someone started to pound on the door.
Hiten rolled his eyes and sat up straight, “Remind me to get us a secretary so we don’t have to deal with these morons after hours.” he said to Manten. “Come in!”
The door slid open and a figure hidden under a black cloak drenched in water stepped in silently.
“Thanks for coming, but I’m going to have ask you to come back tomorrow when we’re not closed.” Hiten said.
The man pulled his hood down and Hiten stiffened. There was something strange about the man with his blood red eyes, black hair and that cruel slant to his mouth. He practically screamed-evil.
Hiten mentally shook himself and warned himself not to be judgmental as the man opened his mouth to speak.
“I am Naraku, one of Queen Kikyo’s most loyal servants. She requests your services for a very...special package.”
“This very minute? It’s raining outside and it’s almost 10 o’ clock at night.” Hiten pointed out.
“It’s very urgent, will you really deny your queen?” Naraku asked.
Hiten looked at Manten and his brother gave a helpless shrug, saying it was up to him. Hiten sighed and rubbed at his shoulder. He could really care less about his queen, he didn’t like her much and couldn’t wait for someone else to take the throne. But it would be bad if he pissed off the most powerful person in the North.
“Fine, we’ll come. I’m not saying we’ll take the job but we’ll listen to queen and maybe take it in the morning.” Hiten finally said.
Naraku nodded. “Excellent. Follow me then.” he said as he drew the hood over his face again and Manten and Hiten got their own cloaks.

Half an Hour Later~

The carriage barely made a sound as it parked in front of Kikyo’s palace. The door swung open and Hiten and Manten stepped out, following Naraku to the palace door. He led them though the castle until they were in what they assumed was the throne room, since Queen Kikyo was sitting in a orate chair, looking down at her visitors.
Naraku bowed low to her. “The Thunder Brothers as you requested my queen.”
She nodded to him and looked over at Hiten and Manten. “Thank you for coming out so late.”
Hiten and Manten went down on their knees and bowed, “We were only to glad to, my queen.” Hiten said smoothly. Hey, just because he didn’t like her wasn’t an excuse to show off why he was called the smoothest talker in the Northern Lands!
She nodded towards them, “I would like to pay for your services in delivering a special package.” she motioned to a servant who stood in the shadows to come forward. A young fox demon with bright orange hair and a fluffy looking tail stepped out, dragging a large, rectangular box behind him.
“Would you be able to transport this container to the Miyagi family?” Hiten studied it and sniffed at it discretely to make sure she didn’t have anything illegal in it. He finally shrugged, “Yeah, I could carry something like that.”
“Good, I’m willing to pay 7,000 yen.” Kikyo said briskly and Hiten though his eyes would pop out.
He bowed again, “We’ll happily take your package to the Miyagi’s my queen.”
She nodded again. “If I like how you perform this time, I’ll use you again. You may leave.”
Naraku gestured for them to follow him as they left the room with the boy close on their heels, still dragging the box behind him.

A few Months later~
“Hey Manten, lookin’ good brother!” Hiten praised as his brother walked though the doors of their new office with his new wig.
Manten grinned and smoothed his hand over his new hair. “Thanks brother, how’s Hatsu?”
Hiten sighed, “Expensive as usual, but she did warn me about that before she become
my mistress. It’s a good thing she gives good head.”
The brothers laughed as knocking started at the door. Hiten grimaced. “That must be Naraku, is it just me or does he give you the creeps to?”
Manten shrugged as he went to open the door and let Naraku in.
“Come, queen Kikyo is waiting.” he said without even bothering to take a step outside the hall.
Hiten looked at Manten and rolled his eyes but they followed Naraku to the carriage anyway.

Kikyo’s Throne Room~

“Thank you for coming at such short notice. I have a package I need delivered to the Fukui family.” Kikyo said, as she motioned for the boy they learned was named Shippo to bring the package forward.
“I must say, I’ve been very impressed with your work so for. You two are very hardworking.” Kikyo chatted as Shippo struggled with the box.
Manten replied back as Hiten idly watched the boy drag the box towards them. He felt sorry for Shippo, he was a good kid to be stuck working for Kikyo. Way to young too. He wondered what happened that made him become her servant.
“Hey, Shippo let me help you with that.” he offered and walked toward him.
Shippo started to struggle harder with the package. “No, really I can do it,- woah!” Shippo screamed when he tripped and the box fall with him, spilling it’s contents all over the floor.
Everyone froze when a dead little girl spilled out of the box, her naked little body covered with dried blood, cuts and bruises. Shippo screamed and jumped away from the little girl into Hiten’s arms pressing his face against his neck.
Hiten held him instinctively as he sobbed, “What the hell is going on?” he asked as calmly as possible to Kikyo.
She curled her lip, “Well if you must know, the dead girl is the five year old daughter of Kei Fukui. It’s a warning.”
Hiten stared at her.“For what?” he growled.
“That if he gets in my way again it’ll be his whole family.”
“And you wanted me to deliver the man’s own child to him like that?” Hiten demanded.
Kikyo rolled her eyes and flopped back agaisnt her throne, “Why not? That’s what you’ve been doing for me for the last few months.”
Hiten and Manten felt the blood drain out of their faces. “We’ve been giving families their dead children?” he asked horrified.
Kikyo shrugged, “It’s not always kids, sometimes it’s parents, aunts, uncles, trusted servants, whoever was the easiest to grab at the time. Now for this package I’ll pay you-“
”Do you really think we’ll work for you any longer?” manten asked angrily.
Kikyo rolled her eyes and flopped back into her throne, “If you’re having trouble will morals or whatever I’ll double the price.”
“We wouldn’t work for you if you offered ten times the money you crazy bitch!” Hiten yelled, his hold on Shippo tightening protectively.
She narrowed her eyes at them, “Fine, I get the point. Naraku!” she sang and instantly they were surrounded by armed men. “I have three new playmates for you Naraku!” she smirked as the boys looked at her, shocked and angered. “What? Did you really think you were going to live?”
“You won’t get away with this Kikyo!” Hiten swore and she laughed, “Of course I will, I’m the queen, I can make up what I want about you. It was tragic really, that I discovered you and your brother were planning to kill me. I had no choice but to have you killed. Knock them out and take them to the dungeon!” she glanced at Naraku, “Try not to kill Hiten yet if you can avoid it, he’ll make a cute little pet for awhile.” she giggled as they were knocked over the head and dragged away.

Later~

Hiten slowly opened his eyes to find he was lying on his back staring at a dirty stone ceiling with Shippo thrown carelessly across his chest. He winced when he tired to sit up and felt like he had been hit with a thousand blocks of marble.
“Good. You are awake.”
Hiten gasped as a little girl dressed in white appeared in front of him. “Who are you?”
“Kanna. You don’t have much time, your brother is dying.” she said sadly.
Hiten felt his breath catch in his throat as he slowly turned his head to look at Manten lying next to him.
He chocked when he saw his brother’s bloodied and wounded form struggling to breath. He had been tortured cruelly and Hiten rushed to hold him and to try and help him breath easier.
“Manten!” he cried out and hugged his brother to him.
“Hit-en?” Manten chocked out.
“I’m here brother, I’m here.” Hiten said, rocking back and forth with Manten.
Manten sighed with relief, “Good, I didn’t want to die without saying goodbye to you. I’m sorry for not being stronger Hiten.”
Hiten shook his head, tears starting to fall, “Don’t say that, you were always stronger then me, you’ll get though this, Manten, I know you will.”
“Hiten, you know I won’t. It’s funny, the thing I most wanted was to have a head full of hair in my next life, you know how I was always embarrassed by my baldness. But now that I know I’m dying, I’m willing to give up by few strands of hair just so I could be your brother again. Will you be my brother again Hiten?’
“Of course, I want to be your brother in every life Manten. I promise you, brother, I will not let you go un-avenged. Kikyo and Naraku will die for this.” Hiten swore fiercely.
Manten smiled sadly, “That’s the one thing I’m not worried about brother. Will you to two things for me Hiten?”
“Anything.” he promised.
“After I die, take my power. I don’t want it to go to waste.” he joked weakly. “And please take care of that little fox demon, Shippo. He doesn’t have a family now, so I want you to become his older brother, and love him as you did me. And I want someone else to love you since I’m gone.”
Hiten nodded, “I promise.”
Manten smiled again and closed his eyes, “Goodbye my brother.”
Hiten sobbed harder, “Goodbye.” he said and watched helplessly as the last of life drained from his brothers body.
“Why am I still alive? Why am I still here?” he demanded from Kanna, not looking up from his brother’s corpse.
Kanna looked down at her mirror, to ashamed to look up. “I didn’t get here in time to save him, Naraku had already started killing him. I was only able to delay his soul so he could say goodbye. You see, I put a shield around you so when Naraku beat you and Shippo it would only look like you were in pain or dead. But Kikyo kept me from coming soon enough to shield your brother as well.” Kanna explained sadly.
She looked up at him, “I know you want to die as well, but you must live! One day, the person who will defeat Kikyo will come and you must be ready to help her. Take the fox demon and hide in the forest until that person comes.”
Hiten met her gaze, but finally nodded. He groaned, “Damn it, how long am I going to be sore?”
Kanna smiled faintly, “It’s a side effect of the shield. Go now, Kikyo and Naraku are busy and think you are dead, Go!”
He slid a hand down his boot, smiling darkly when he found the dagger still there. “I will in a minute.” he promised as he slid the dagger out and placed it lightly against his brother’s chest.
Kanna looked away as Hiten ate his brother’s heart and waited until the bright light around him faded. She looked over as he was sliding the dagger back into his boot and gathered Shippo to him tenderly. He looked back once last time at his brother’s corpse before turning away sharply and headed for the door, the fox demon safely in the crook of his arm.

End of Flashback~

“And that was how Hiten became like my brother.” Shippo said proudly as he stood up on Hiten’s shoulder and stole some of his food.
“How did you meet Kouga?” Sango asked.
Hiten casually stole some chicken from Rin’s plate, knowing she wouldn’t notice while she stared at Sesshomaru. “We wandered around in the forest for a day or two until Kouga picked up our scent. We talked, and he agreed we could stay with him if he helped build the cottage.”
Miroku glanced at Kouga who was slowly turning red, “I thought you said you’d already built the cottage Kouga.”
“Well...um”
“Oh please, Kouga built a one room shack that was starting to fall apart. Hiten and me built most of the house.” Shippo said as he helped himself to more of Hiten’s food.
“I’m a king you runt! Not a worker!” Kouga defended himself.
“You built the cottage Hiten? No wonder it’s so strong and sturdy.” Kagura purred.
Hiten grinned, “You want to see something else that’s strong and sturdy beautiful?”
Inuyasha rolled his eyes as Kagura giggled, “As interesting as this is I’d rather hear about the next dwarf instead of listening to you two flirt.”
Kouga grinned at Rin and winked. “You’re on kid.”
She sent Sess one last nervous look, “Alright. I became a ‘dwarf’ after the night Naraku killed me.”

AN: MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! God, I’m evil! Hope you guys enjoyed hearing about most of their stories, I’ll finish the remaining dwarf’s next chapter and maybe have a little Sess/Rin or Inu/Kag fluff! Oh and if anyone wants to give me some pointers on lemons I would bow and worship you. Have a nice week.
