Shippou: What’d they do to HER?

KY: Oh nothing really, just fought and threatened her a bit........ and then they didn’t get in trouble, but Alice got three days of ISS.

Shippou: ISS?

Shippou: Oh.

KY: And when she went to the office, the bitchy preps tore more of her stuff up, and then they found my runes.

Chapter 8

Hanyou’s Rite

Inu Yasha sat in a tall tree, thinking. It was almost dinnertime, but he still needed more time to think about what Tsume had said.

Did he really intend to make Kagome his mate?

He had to admit, he really cared for her...... a lot. He didn’t even want to imagine of what it would be like if she wasn’t going to be there anymore.

He sighed and leaned back against the trunk. He and Shippou had prevented the others from going after Tsume.

Both of them had known the importance of her doing this by herself. He didn’t really know how they had done it, keeping the rest of their party away, that is, but they had pulled it off somehow or another.

Inu Yasha jumped down from his branch ((O.o........ which was a good thirty feet up..... oi.)) and headed back to camp. He would think about mating later.

For now though, he wanted to know how Tsume had done that.

How had she shed her hanyou form and went to a TRUE demon’s from?

He NEEDED to know.

Walking towards camp, he sighed, ‘Damn life sucks sometimes!’

When he arrived, he found an unconscious Miroku behind a furiously blushing Sango and both Shippou and Kagome snickering.

Inu Yasha rolled his eyes. Gods Miroku was a pervert!

“Oi! Wake up letch!” he snapped, giving Miroku a hefty kick to the side. Miroku sprang up, babbling right out of dream/fantasy.

“Of course you may bare my child!”

The whole group rolled their eyes now, and Inu Yasha plopped down next to a growing fire.

Inu Yasha blinked, feeling a slight stinging sensation on his nose. Crossing his eyes, he saw the insect. Grimacing, he smacked his nose, flattening the flea youkai into, quite literally, a pancake.

“Omph!” Myoga said, floating down to land in Inu Yasha’s hand, before going back to his normal roundness/size.

“Inu Yasha-sama, long time no suck,” he said, giving the hanyou a small insect grin. Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Inu Yasha snorted, “Well if it isn’t the coward himself! Where were you when all the action was going on, eh, Myoga-jiji?”

Myoga “harrumphed” and stuck all (eight) of his hands in his sleeves.

“I was addressing extremely important and pressing matters Inu Yasha-sama. I cannot be in two places at once.”

Inu Yasha snickered, “Riiiiiiight, more like you’d rather keep your insect hide away from the fighting and let the others do the fighting for you.”

Myoga “Harrumphed” again, but remained silent ((notice! No denial!!!!!)).

Inu Yasha blinked, “Hey Myoga-jiji?”

“Yes, milord?”

“Is there a way a half demon can transform into its full demon form? I don’t mean like I do sometimes (Inu Yasha shuddered at the thought), because I’m still in a humanoid form. I mean like how Sesshomaru can change into a giant Inu Youkai at will.”

Myoga the flea suddenly looked quite nervous. Replying carefully, he said, “Yes, Inu Yasha-sama. But there are severe consequences. What you speak of is called the Hanyou’s Rite. A hanyou can do this when he is in his full demon form, but sacred words must be spoken along with a freshly killed sacrifice.”

Everyone was now paying close attention to the flea.

Miroku looked at Myoga critically, “But what is the consequence? Or consequences?”

Myoga suddenly looked highly embarrassed, blushing.

Coughing, he replied, “The next youkai or hanyou of the opposite sex would become infatuated with the hanyou that had performed the rite. There are a few exceptions though.

The first is this:

the hanyou is mated, then only their mate will be effected.

And the last:

If the hanyou wasn’t mated, and another hanyou of youkai stumbled onto him, but the youkai or hanyou was mated, then they wouldn’t be effected.”

Miroku blinked, “Severe consequences........ you say? Hmm......... I wish we humans had severe consequences like that!” The houshi grinned perversely and had another encounter with his two best friends, Mrs. Hiraikotsu and Mr. Hard Ground.

Inu Yasha rolled his eyes at the monks antics, but he couldn’t help but agree with the letch for once.

“Myoga-jiji, I think that the letch actually has a point here. I mean, yeah, someone becomes obsessed with you, and if you mated, well whoopie, but the “severe consequences” don’t really seem to severe to me.”


Myoga sighed and closed his eyes, “If only it were that simple Milord. If the hanyou does not mate after he has performed the rite, then he will die on his next human night. He would have too little human blood running through his veins to survive. And woe be it to the unmated hanyou whose human night is the night after the rite! Poor fellow wouldn’t stand a chance!” Myoga shook his head ruefully.

Kagome looked confused, “But what does mating have to do with their human night?”

Myoga blinked, “The youkai blood will quiet down after mating, and mostly human blood will take over. When a hanyou performs the rite, their blood becomes too demonic for them to survive naturally.”

Kagome cocked her head to the side, “Oh.”

Miroku grinned, “So it’s mate or die? Pain or pleasure? Fun, ne?”

Inu Yasha bopped the pervert on the head, and Kagome couldn’t help but giggle. “Talk about an extreme case of sexual frustration,” she snickered.

Inu Yasha and Sango gaped at her, while she and Miroku laughed. Myoga’s eyebrow twitched.

Not even trying to resist it this time, Inu Yasha rolled his eyes and snorted, “So do you know the words to this rite, Myoga-jiji?” Myoga looked down and fiddled with his hands, “Well.......... uh........ no..........”

Inu Yasha felt his irritation wash over him, “Well how the hell does that help us!?”

“Inu Yasha! Sit! And be nice to Myoga-jichan!” Kagome snapped.

Inu Yasha plummeted to the ground, making a crater in the shape of a hanyou.

“GAAK!”

Shippou looked up quietly, “I know them.” Everyone looked at the young fox kit, and there was a round of blinking ((crickets: “cheep cheep, cheep cheep.” lol)). Shippou looked up to Myoga, and said with his green eyes sparkling, “I also know the translation, if you want it.”

Myoga eyed Shippou critically, “Shippou-chan, how do you know the Hanyou’s Rite?” Shippou looked down, suddenly interested in the dirt ground.

“I memorized it when Tsume-sama said it,” he replied, almost embarrassed.

Myoga shrugged off that Shippou knew Tsume, Lady of the Eastern Lands. He WAS the son of the late Lord of the Eastern Lands, so it was to be expected. He remained silent, waiting for Shippou to continue.

Taking a deep breath, Shippou, spoke:

“Doblo otou, doblo okaa, doblo nee dan ink. Vige em werpo nemodec fo terhegi vige em werpo tiwhin!

That was the Chant, now I’ll translate for you.

Blood of my Father, Blood of my Mother, Blood of my brethren and kin. Give me the power of my demonic heritage, give me the power from within!”

Inu Yasha felt his breath leave him when Shippou recited the untranslated chant. A power flickered inside himself, surging like a bloody sea to be released.

Myoga sighed, and with an “Arigato” to Shippou, the flea youkai left, hopping away.

The camp quieted down soon after that, and everyone fell asleep. Some dreamt about hanyous, others of rites and giant wolves. One dreamt of naked women. ((*snicker* *cough* Miroku *cough*))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

KY: Well, shorter than I thought, but oh well.

Shippou: *shrug* its not like people read it anyway.

KY: HEY! Now what’s THAT supposed to mean?

Shippou: Exactly how you thought it meant....

KY: But I didn’t get it.............

Shippou: *smacks himself*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AN: Yeah, it was shorter than I thought it would be, but oh well, I need to write more of it though, I’m only on the next chapter as far as writing it goes..... O.o......... oi...... Yeah, but anyway, I’m still grounded from the net, and I can’t sneak on, because we have AOL, and all someone would have to do is call to see if I was online, so you’ll probably have chapter 10 up by the time I’m ungrounded. *sigh* Oh well, you guys sometimes wait for a few months for me to update anyway so what’s the difference? Lololololololololololololol, jk. I also went back and spell checked the rest of my chapters, and can we say, DAMN! TYPO DEMON ALERT! But........ some people can’t if their parents are around, so we’ll just say it in our head, lol. But yeah, I’ll be re-posting those chapters once I’m ungrounded again. So sayonara!
