[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
KY: Chapter 9!!! YAY!!! It’s all good!

Shippou: *gives her a look of annoyance* and mind telling me WHY it took you this long to update???

KY: I wanted to write you guys more chapters before I updated! Which is why I’m updating two this time. And I also have to keep up with my Nee-chan and her fanfics. ^^

Shippou: *eyeroll* lovely

KY: Yeah, but guess what?

Shippou: what?

KY: I finished my Kouga cosplay costume for the anime convention I’m going to!!

Shippou: How long did it take you to make?

KY: About 40+ hours all together.

Shippou: Jeeze!

KY: Guess what!!??

Shippou: What?

KY: Kouga’s in nothing but a necktie and a grin.

Shippou: *faint* x.x

KY: Shippou? You okay? *looks at Kouga* I think he’s dead.

Okay, here’s the deal. I am no longer accepting anonymous reviews, due to an immature person who thought it would be funny to harass me and make fun of my story. And yes, that WAS harassment, for the person who wrote those reviews. As far as the thesaurus thing goes, you probably have the writing average of a second grade child with dyslexia ((no offense to those of you that actually do)). Your reviews will be deleted, and I have three words to say to you:

KISS MY ASS!

If you think it’s funny or acceptable to write reviews like that, why don’t you try writing a decent fanfiction? And as for your review, you could have at least have had the balls to sign it, instead of taking the coward’s way out and doing it anonymously. I don’t have time to waste on you, so on with the story for all of those who are actually reading it.

And to let you know, only a fool wouldn’t be able to tell you’re the same person, asshole. This reply goes to the following:

Chapter 9

Going to the Meeting


Tsume groaned.

She HATED paperwork with a passion!

Growling with frustration, she angled her head towards the doorway of her office room. “Hey! Kitsa!” she called out. Without warning, she was tackled unmercifully by a small kitsune. “Mi Lady!!! Tsume-sama!!! You have returned!!!” Kitsa yipped happily, jumping up and down unceremoniously.

Sighing and resisting the urge to roll her eyes at the fox’s antics, Tsume watched as her small retainer bounced up and down in a very fox-like manner.

Kitsa was a red kitsune youkai. In her fox form, her back reached up to about Tsume’s knee (which she was in at the moment). She was a beautiful red-gold color, with a shiny coat and a white tipped bottle brush tail.

There were many types of kitsune youkai, as there were inu and ookami. There were yellow- as was Shippou-, red- as was Kitsa-, blue, brown and white.

Wolves and dogs were the same, but did not have red. There were also black inu and ookami, but no blue. There had been blue once before, but they were rumored to have died out recently. Black inu were the ones that had attacked her village. She gritted her teeth in anguish over it.

“Will you be going to the council meeting mistress?” Kitsa asked politely, cutting into Tsume’s thoughts.

Tsume let out a breath she didn’t know she had been holding, “Yes, I believe I will.”


Kitsa blinked, “Well then, Mi Lady, you’d best be getting a move on, begging your pardon, of course. The meeting starts at dawn tomorrow, and would it not be polite to arrive early rather than late?”

Tsume gave an almost cub-like “yip” and scooped Kitsa up, jogging through the corridors of her castle, and as she passed various servants, she gave them quick orders and they scurried out to do the tasks they had been assigned.

Upon reaching the outer gates of her home, she slowed to a stop and threw back her head, letting out a wolf-like howl. She and Kitsa waited for only a moment, until the bushes to their right side rustled.

Out stepped a blue kitsune youkai.

He was in humanoid form, and was extremely tall for a kitsune, nearing five-foot nine. Kitsunes are not in general tall youkai. The average height for a female is between five-feet and around five-foot two. Males tend to be bigger, averaging from five-three to five-foot five.

The blue kitsune youkai’s hair was pulled up into a low-bobbed ponytail. He had unusually clear black eyes. He wore a pair of black hakamas with a green shirt with little white leaves. He was of the same fox clan as Shippou, the Transforming Leaf clan.

He smiled softly and politely and pulled out a small green leaf from behind his ear and placed it onto his forehead. In a cloud of smoke, he disappeared. When the smoke cleared, in his place stood a giant eagle.

Grabbing Kitsa, Tsume jumped onto the fox’s back.

They were off.

*~*~*~*~*

Kouga glared at his letter again before he took off. He had until sundown to get to the Central Lands. It was late afternoon, and he decided to get a move on.

He was currently running and well over halfway to Kite-sama’s castle. He was at his steady speed, around forty miles an hour ((Which is actually the average speed for an actual wolf)). He ran on for about an hour or so more, when the central land’s castle came into view.

This was his first council meeting in well over five years. He really needed to get caught up on what was happening in all of the other lands.

Glancing up, he saw Raven, his vassal. Raven was, and named after, a raven youkai. Although most creatures despised raven and raven youkai, for they tormented others with their constant bickering, wolves had forged a pack with them. Neither would forget one another, and they would help in times of need. It only seemed natural for Kouga, Prince of Wolves, to have a raven as his vassal.

Raven was small, for his species, and to others as well. He was roughly the size of a human cub, but his wits were that of an incredibly intelligent youkai. Raven had his midnight black hair pulled back into a samurai’s topknot, with spiky bangs covering his forehead. Silky raven wings protruded from two holes in the back of his vested haori, and his taloned feet hung below him. The vested haori was brown, with black fabric feathers sewn into it. His hakamas were pure black.

Kouga glanced up at his flying vassal, he caught eye contact and Raven nodded his head.

They sped up.

They soon arrived at the gates of the Central Lands, where Kouga was required to nip his thumb and produce a small amount of blood as proof of himself. Not that the Lords and Ladies needed proof, for they would know of any illusions or misconceptions. It was an old custom, so Kouga did as he was asked.

Raven flapped down to land on Kouga’s shoulder. He glanced at his Lord with beady black eyes, “Kouga-sama, forgive me, milord, but why are we attending the council meeting now? We have not attended one in almost five years now.”

Kouga spared Raven a look, “Because, Raven, not only am I in desperate need of the Council’s alliance, I need more information on Naraku and his wind bitch Kagura.” The ookami’s lips lifted in a fierce snarl that showed off his sharp youkai canines.

Raven sighed and looked at the face full of grief that was his Lord’s. He was sorry that he had been away on his yearly flock migration and could not assist the wolf pack in their time of need.

He vowed he would help make Naraku and Kagura the most miserable beings on the planet when they were defeated.

It was only fair.

KY: Yay! Another chapter down, many more to go! *lol*

Shippou: lovely

A/N: Well, this was more of a filler chapter, but I had to cut this one and the next one in half, all together, they had been almost twenty pages long written out! But the next chapter is really sad. Or at least, I thought so. We go back in Kouga’s memories of his parents. And we learn a little bit on how wolf youkai are born, and also with info on Ginta and Hakakku. R&R! ^^
