Inuyasha: The Tale Of The Foretold Marrige - The Beginning

[Isunamaru]

(hey ya mind if i join? i've read the whole thread and i've posted my char. the sign-up thread...)
Azus watched the demons without moving from his perch in the trees.....maybe they knew were he was from.....he would have to follow them to make sure they didn't get killed....as he got up to leave he unsheathed his sword, the only momento of this 'other world'....

[m1abrams]

"What was that all about," I asked myself as I watched the group of people run after that guy.
"Beats me, but this pink fluff is pretty good," Kokoru said muching on the cotton candy.
"Hey Tach, dosent that guy seem a little...familiar," Inuyasha asked me as he stod next to Kagome as she paid the man at the stand.
"If you mean to ask me if he smells like a demon then yes, I also noticed that," I said sipping out of a thing of soda.
"A demon here in Kagomes world, impossible," Sango said shaking her head.
"Not entirly, Kagomes world may not have many demons, but that dosent mean they no longer exsist. Take that for example," I said poiting out into the distance.
Everyone looked at where I was pointing, it was what appeared to be a large yellow ball floating through the sky, with a large number of dead souls floating around it.
"Its the soul piper," Kagome said looking at the floating demon in the distance.
"You see, not all demons have dissapeared from this world. Some demons such as the soul piper still remian, as do some other demons that have been sleeping throughout the centuries. Also the demon bloodline of old may still exsist, through the years it was widdled down as demons and humans bore children, and in turn those children bore more children. Untill the demon blood was so little, traits such as ears, tails, claws and the strength us demons have dissapeared," I said looking out at the crowds of people as the walked by," However it is also possible for some of that demon blood to be awoken, or still strong enough to allow some humans to be able to do things that most normal humans couldnt. In the end if you think about it hard enough, alot of the people you see are probably decendants of demons...who knows maybe even our decendants are wondering about this world."

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka was eating the pizza at a rapid pace, licking her lips after she was done. Her entire face was covered in pizza sause, a bit of cheese here and there. "So good!" she murmured, trying to get the sauce off of her face with her tounge, but she really couldn't reach some of the places.

Kagome blinked at Saiyaka, raising a brow slightly and shaking her head. "Finally...Somebody who eats sloppier than my kid brother..."

[Chibi-chan]

Meh...Never mind this post! *kicks computer*

[The Lost Angel]

Spike lost all the humans from the crowd and sat on a bench and panted for air."I need something to drink"he said and walked over to the snack bar and got more soda and some more cotton candy."I cant get enough of this stuff"he said eating the cotton candy and drinking the soda."Thi stuff is GREAT!"he yelled eating the cotton candy.He got one last scoop before he decided he had to go.

[Isunamaru]

Leaping off the tree Azus started to walk away when he noticed another demon....not in the group....he turned and walked over to the group....looking upwards he noticed the Soul Piper hanging in the air....

[m1abrams]

"We should probably get going," I said as I shifted my eyes and narrowed them.
Something was bothering me, like us being her was attacted a different kind of attention that Kagomes was worried about. It appears that what I had said was correct, there were more demons here than I has orriginally thought.

[Isunamaru]

hmm....one of the dog-demons had noticed him....he wasn't surprised, he was just expecting it to have been sooner, he had been upwind of them and he wasn't all that far away....he turned and walked towards the exit of the amusement park....

[The Lost Angel]

I headed for the exit and could sense a wolf demon near(isunemaru).I had my hand on my sword just in case.He took one last look back at the park."Im going to miss the food"he acted he was crying but he really wasnt."And all the fun rides"remembering the fun ones then he remembered the rollar coaster and he shuddered at the thought of it.Seeing the Demon walk towards the exit"Who are you"he asked and had his hand on his sword.

[Chibi-chan]

"Can't we at least go for another ride on the roller coaster before we leave?" Saiyaka whined, whipping sauce off of her face, using napkins that Kagome had handed her.

Kagome shook her head some, giving Saiyaka an apologetic look. "Sorry, Sai, but I don't think that we should. After all, you've just eaten, and another ride might cause you to get sick," she said with a small laugh.

Saiyaka flinched a bit when she heard Kagome call her by her nickname that her father used for her 50 years ago. "Kagome...Please don't call me that..."

[Isunamaru]

Azus noticed the dog-demon infront of him (spike) his hand strayed to his sword....instead he jammed it into his jacket's pocket....his hand felt the reassuring coldness of the gun and he calmly walked past the demon, his ears perked to prevent even the slightest chance of ambush....

[The Lost Angel]

Spike ignored the demon and walked away."Where should i go next?"he questioned himself."I dont really have anywhere to go"he muttered hopelessly under his breath."Ill just sit and meditate"he said as he sat and meditated with his ears perked up.

[m1abrams]

I quickly started to move away, not wanting to be dragged onto that evil ride again. When I herd Kagome call Saiyaka Sai, I could tell it hit a nerve somewhere becuase Saiyaka cringed and asked her not to call her that again. I didnt know why, but I wasnt about to ask, she probably didnt want to talk about it.
"Hey master Tach, are we heading back to the house now," Kokoru asked me rubbing one of her eyes.
"Why you tired allready, you seemed to be so enthusiastic just a moment ago," I said looking down at a tired Kokoru.
"I am starting to feel a little drosy, maybe it was that pink stuff I ate," Kokoru said with a yawn.
I bent over and picked Kokoru up, she was very tired and looked like she was about to fall asleep walking. I soon as I picked her up she seemed to fall of to sleep. Shippou looked just as tired but walked beside kagome, he grabbed onto her sock and kept going.
"Well it looks like these two are out," Miroku said looking at the two fox demons.
"Well considering they have been running around all day I'm not in the least surprised," Sango said walking with Kilala in her arms.
"Well since they are still young, it will be awhile before they are able to stay up later like us," I said as I carried Kokoru in one arm.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka smiled a bit, keeping an eye on Shippo, who looked like he was going to fall asleep, still walking. "Here, you're going to end up falling and getting trampled on," she told the little fox, quickly scooping him up into her arms as he began to sway a little bit, eyes half open.

Shippo blinked tiredly and yawned, murmuring something that sounded like a thanks, but it was drowned out as he burried his face in Saiyaka's shoulder. It didn't take even a minute before the little fox drifted off to sleep in her arms.

Saiyaka smiled a little and shook her head. "They tend to burn out all that energy quite fast, ne?" she questioned, laughing a little bit.

"Well, it is quite late out, you know!" Kagome said, getting a look at her watch. "It's almost midnight, after all," she yawned. "I think that we should all get to bed in a few moments!"

[The Lost Angel]

I heard them coming but i tried to ignore them so i can still continue my meditation."Please be quiet your going to break my concentration"he said but didnt turn around.He began meditating again silently hoping he wouldnt get interrupted again.

[Isunamaru]

Lost in thought i started as i realized that i was on the roof, yes my hobby of climbing stuff had led to this a long time ago, yet i was surprised and looked down to notice the park about 50 feet below me....those trees would cushion my fall....I leapt of the building for the sake of boredom and landed on one of the tree branches...the impact was jarring but before the branch broke i was onto another one....i jumped onto the ground and started wandering around the park.....

[m1abrams]

It wasnt long before we reached Kagomes house again, when we walked up the steps of the shrine, all the lights in the house were off except for the outdoors light, and the light in Kagomes room. We all quietly walked inside and made our way to where we all slept. Luckily for Sango and Miroku the couch they so enjoyed folded out into a bed...but Miroku ended up sleeping on the floor, for obvious reasons. Inuka was also given a spot in the living room, a distance from Miroku again for obvious reasons. Inuyasha and Kagome shared her room, wich was a shock to me at first. But I doubted that they slept in the same bed. It was me and Saiyaka the received the guest room, and since we had Shippou and Kokoru with us, I set both of them down on a pillow in the corner of the room so they could sleep.
"Man its really late, I am even starting to get tired," I said stretching.
My sword I had put in the room earlier, I had made sure I put it on a stand so it didnt get scuffed. I had removed the sheath and also oiled it earlier, so the light from the moon reflected off its blade. Then came a delemia, the fact of only one bed.
"Well there is only one bed...again this same issue seems to fallow me where ever I go," I said scratching the back of my head half asleep at this point.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka saw the one bed, but she really didn't seem bothered by it one bit. She headed over to it, yawning and sat down, looking at Tach. For some reason, he seemed hesitant. This made her smile a little and she motioned him to come to the bed as well. "We are, after all, mates...are we not?"

[m1abrams]

"Yeah we are, I dont know why I hesitated like that. I must be used to having other people around in the same room," I said as I sat on the edge of the bed.
I stretched again and then laid down on rolled over, I was dead tired for some reason or another. I bet it was that roller coaster thing, it probably scared any energy I had outa me.
"I am going to sleep late I can tell you that know, I bet we wont get back to our time untill after noon," I said as I closed my eyes.
Before long I was drifting off to sleep, I wasnt compleatly asleep so I could still tell Saiyaka was there next to me. I reached over and rested my had ontop of hers as she sat there on the bed next to me.

[Isunamaru]

After walking around the park for 2 hrs i finally got bored and left....upon leaving i smelt the group of demons from earlier....curiosity got the better of me and i decided to follow it when i noticed the dog-demon sitting and meditating.....ignoring him i walked past and followed the scent to a shrine...they would be sure to smell me here, yet i still walked over to the well...it smelled so much of demons....i'd have to watch this place to see what happened, leaping up i perched in the trees far enough downwind that my scent was almost inperceivable and hid there watching the well....

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka smiled at him and nodded a little bit. "You can sleep all you want, Tach," she whispered, laying down beside him and curling up against him. She gave him a soft peck on the cheek as she put her head gently down on his shoulder. Her eyes closed and she slowly began to fall asleep to the sound of his soft breathing.

[m1abrams]

My eyes poped open when I got wif of food, I looked around me for a moment. I saw Saiyaka there next to me all curled up. I smiled leaned over and kissed her on the forhead then I slowly got up. I stretched and mdae my way over to my other pair of clothes, the ones I originally came in. My black Kimono, even though I had part of it on, I was getting tired of these jeans. I quickly changed back into my Kimono and laid the clothes Kagome gave me down.
"Well I suppose I wont be using those for awhile," I said quietly as to not wake Saiyaka up.
When I looked in the corner where Shippou and Kokoru were last night I noticed they were still there. It was earliar than I though, it was around 9 in the morning, not lunch time. When I walked out of the guest room it led right into the kitchen where Kagome, her mom grandfather and brother were.
"Morning everyone," I said as I shut the door behind me.
"Why good morning Tach, did you sleep well," Kagomes mom said looking at me as I sat down at the table.
"Like a rock, I dont think even an earthquake could have woken me up last night," I said as I watched Kagome make breakfast.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka stirred awake after a few minutes when Tach left, having felt him move away from her earlier, but she didn't want to wake up at that point. Now, she sat up and yawned, streaching as she did. Climbing out of bed, she headed to Kagome's room for some new clothing. She had slept in the uniform that Kagome had let her wear, so felt the need to change. Smiling a little, she picked out some tan jeans as well as a dark blue shirt that actually fit her this time.

Giving a final streach, she headed downstairs and found breakfast waiting. Tach was already down there, and it seemed like the smell of food had finally awakened Shippo and Kokoru as the two foxes bound down the stairs and practically knocked her over as they slammed into her legs. "Watch it!"

[m1abrams]

I was about to take a bite out of a omlet Kagome had just made when Kokoru jumped onto my head in order to get to the table for some food. My face went strait into the food on my plate. Kokoru hopped into a seat across from me and just smiled as Shippou crawled up onto the seat next to me. I lifted my head and peared out at her, a large amount of food on my face.
"Morning master Tach," She said with a smile.
I just grumbled and whipped the food off my face, Kagomes mom covered her mouth slightly and laughed at me. I must have looked pretty dumb with all the food on my face. I turned around and looked at Saiyaka as she came in the kitchen, she had changed out of Kagomes school uniform.
"Hey there, sleep well," I said as I wacthed her walk towards us.

[Isunamaru]

I heard them the demons from my hiding spot and nearly left my perch as the smell of food wafted down to me.... i finally decided to jump into that well, the smell was almost overwhelming and after a debating with myself for about an hour i finally decided not to and started to doze off....

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka smiled some and laughed as she saw Tach's face go into his food. "I slept very well," she stated, then kicked Shippo out of the seat he was in so that she could sit next to Tach.

Shippo glared some, but then shook his head, understanding. "Fine, I can sit somewhere else!" he stated, scrambling up into a chair next to Kokoru. "I bet they slept together," he whispered to Kokoru.

Saiyaka heard this and raised a brow, grabbing up a piece of toast. Shaking her head, she chucked it at Shippo's head and it bounced right off his forehead.

[Red Dragon]

Inuka sniffed and, so as not to alarm the others quietly walked out of the house. She spied another demon perched in a nearby tree. Disapperaing in to the shadows she came up behind him and rested her beloved sword Defender just below his throat. He gave a jump and froze. She felt teh blood lust rising in her but she beat it back with her protective determination. She was here to protect Kagomes home, not kill.

[The Lost Angel]

Spike felt the sun apon him."I didnt tend to meditate this long"he said scrambling to his feet."I need to return to my time"he said and walked towards the well.He caught the scent of food in the air."Hmmmm smells good in there,but i must return to my time"he said trying to ignore the smell of the food in the house.When he got to the well he was going to jump in but smelled a demon in a tree.

[Isunamaru]

"wth?" i felt a blade right on my throat....must have dozed off...putting my right hand onto the blade i slowly pushed it away from my throat and without warning grabbed it with my other hand and tossed it onto the ground, the thing was the demon holding onto it kept her hold onto it and landed on the ground....slowly i unsheathed the sword at my belt...Reaver...as the sun landed upon the golden gilding upon the blade it shined in an almost scary way...

[Red Dragon]

"What do you think you're doing here?" Inuka demanded. She could probably take this demon on her own but from the skill, she was having a little bit of dought. She wanted to protect he r friends, who had become a sort of makeshift family and she didn't want to rampage around and scare them. She was finished with that sort of thing.

Keeping hold onto Defender she crouched ready to spring should he prove to be an enemy. :samurai:

[The Lost Angel]

Spike heard the two demons and saw them ready to have a duel.'Wheres the popcorn'he thought to himself."I wonder whos going to win"he muttered under his breath.He had his hand on his sword case just in case they decided to attack him.

[Isunamaru]

sheathing Reaver i looked down to see that the dog-demon from yesterday watching us....'i'm just passing by' i muttered calmly turning back i started to walk back into the trees....

[m1abrams]

I crunched down onto a peice of toast, and thats when I noticed it. The aura of two demons, one I had sensed before. The other one was rather new, again I became concerned. Never before had there been demons like them here in Kagomes time, or so Kagome told me. I was starting to think the strong aura coming from Inuyasha, Saiyaka, myself and Inuka was attracting some unwanted attention.
"I am going to go wake the others, its about time we left," I said getting to my feet.
"Whats the matter Master, do you sense something," Kokoru asked me with her mouth full of egg.
I didnt say much, but before I went to get everyone else and away them. I walked back into the guest room and picked up my sword. I put the sheath back in my sash and then slowly slid the blade in. If these demons werent friendly than I might have to use this. I walked into Kagomes room and looked around for Inuyasha, I couldnt see him anywhere, it wasnt untill I herd something russling under the messed up sheets on Kagomes bed that I found him. Inuyasha was still fast asleep in Kagomes bed.
"Come on Inuyasha get up," I said nudging him with my foot.
Inuyasha poped an eye open and then sat up, he yawned and then looked at me still half asleep. He more or less grumbled and crawled out of bed, he reached for his shirt that was heaped in a pile in the corner of the room.
"Hurry up and get dressed, we need to leave now," I said walking out of the room.
Sango and Miroku were allready up, they were sitting in the living room watching the tv box again. They had allready changed back into their normal clothes.

[The Lost Angel]

Spike wanted to see the two of them fight."Ive wasted enough time i need to get back home"he muttered to himself rather dissappointed he ha to go.He took one last look back and remembered all the good and bad things he got into in this world."Im sure going to miss this place"he said and walked towards the well.

[Isunamaru]

i trailed around wandering aimlessly, yet always close enough to sense the demonic presence of the group....keeping my hand constantly upon Reaver's hilt to prevent ambush....their demonic aura was strong, really strong and it drowned almost all around it....

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka blinked some and followed Tach, wondering what was going on. "...Tach?" she asked, seeing him get his sword. He really didn't answer her, though, just went to get Inuyasha awake so that they could leave for their era. The half demon let out a small sigh, shaking her head a little. If there was something around, she would have known, right?

Then again...Something really didn't seem right with her senses, it seemed. Blinking again, Saiyaka sniffed the air and found that her sense of smell that she had wasn't there any longer. Frowning, she looked down at her hands and found that her claws weren't there. "...He must be in his human state," she whispered to herself. The only time Saiyaka turned human was when Naraku was in his vulerable state as well.

[m1abrams]

Miroku and Sango only need to look at me to tell what was going on, they allready had all of their belongings and were ready to set out. Inuyasha came down the stairs half asleep in his Red kimono once again. He had the Tetsuiga at his side as well, atleast he was smart enough to realize we were leaving.
"Inuyasha go get Kagome and lets get going," I said sternly.
"Whats the rush," Inuyasha asked me.
"I just have a bad feeling allright, we should leave before anything happened to Kagomes family," I said with a more nervous tone than usual.
"Yeah sure, hang on," Inuyasha said picking up the tone and realizing something was relaly bothering me.
I grabbed Saiyaka's hand and started for the door, just before I walked out I stopped myself and looked back at Kagome's mom, grandfather and brother. I put on something of a smile and tried to thank them best I could.
"Thank you very much for letting us stay here, I really didnt enjoy my time here greatly," I said with a slight hint of nervousness in my voice.
"Well we all wish you two the best of luck with your marrage, and we hope to see you back here soon," Kagomes mom said smiling.
"Thank you very much Miss Higirashi, we will come back and visit as soon as we can," I said as I walked through the door and left the house, there was something really dark hanging over my head. Like I was desperatly need back in our own time, I made my towards the well as fast as I could.

[Chibi-chan]

Inuyasha and the others followed, but only Inuyasha seemed to figure out that Saiyaka was no longer half demon at the moment. "...Wait a moment...You're human!" he stated, pointing at her, but didn't stop moving towards the well. "That means that Naraku has to be vulerable as well!"

"...I...I don't know what you're talking about! Just because I'm at my vulnerable state, doesn't mean that Naraku is as well!" Saiyaka hissed. The last thing she wanted was for them to go after Naraku when he was in a weakened state.

[m1abrams]

I looked back at Saiyaka out of the corner of my eye, she was human, I thought something was different but I hadnt even payed much attention to it untill Inuyasha brought it up. Everyone still had the jewel shards I gave them before, and as we opened the door to the well I let everyone else pass by me and Saiyaka. When I was sure everyone was in I shut the door.
"Allright lets get going," I said making my way towards the well.
"Now hold on a moment Tach," Miroku said stopping me.
My eye darted around and focused on Miroku, I had a dead serious look on my face and now I was starting to sweat, something was really bothering me and he could tell.
"What is going on with you all of a sudden, you are acting rather strange," Miroku said as everyone else nodded some.
"Nothing is wrong I'm fine," I said turning away from him.
Of course I was lieing through my teeth, I knew exactly what was going on and why I was acting so nervous, though it took me a moment to figure it out. Today was the day that...she died. And that is why I was in such a hurry to get back, I had visited her grave every year on this same day. Without fail no matter what I was doing, if I was sick or injured I made my way to her grave. And I am sure that over the years I was trapped in that cave my body stirred when this time of year came around. I rested one foot on the edge of the well and looked back, I held tightly onto Saiyaka's hand as I led her into the well with me.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka gave Tach a rather worried look, tilting her head slightly at him. "You sure that everything is fine?" she asked, touching his shoulder softly. When they got to the well, she looked down it, then at Tach again. "We can stay here another day if you're feeling uneasy," she said quietly to him.

[m1abrams]

"No I'm fine, I need to get back to our world now. I have something I need to do," I said as I jumped in taking Saiyaka with me.
When we reached the bottom of the well just like last time we just kept going. As we passed through the two times, I couldnt help but keeping thinking about what happened on this day so many years ago.

[Flashback]

"Ha gotcha Inuyasha," I said as a loud crack echoed through the trees.
"Only becuase you cheated," a very young Inuyasha said getting to his feet.
"Your such a sore looser Inuyasha," I said laughing putting the woden sword down.
As I helped Inuyasha up, footsteps could be heard from behind the bushes just behind us. When we turned around and looked at the bushes, a tall white figure stepped out from behind them. He had a large white fluffy thing over one shoulder, and a sword at his side.
"Who are you," I asked the man as he noticed us.
The man looked at us, and then noticed the ears on our heads. But he seemed more interested in Inuyasha for some reason. The man approched us, but didnt seem like he wanted to talk much.
"Hey he asked who you were, I dont think you shoud deny a couple of demons your name," Inuyasha said in a very familiar cocky tone.
"You are mearly half demons, nothing of a concern to me," The man said walking passed us.
"And so what if we are, hey stop walking away from me. Huh you are probably just a coward," Inuyasha said folding his arms and laughing at the man.
Before Inuyasha could notice the man had spun around and lunged at him, that coward remark struck had struck a nerve. Inuyasha looked up just in time to see the man coming at him, his sword drawn. But just as he was about to strike at Inuyasha I pushed him out of the way. The blade slicing me right across my left eye, a small amout of blood flew into the air as I hit the ground.

We landed on the other side of the well and I snapped out of my day dream.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka had been tugging at his arm as they were passing through the dimentions. When he finally snapped out of the spell that he seemed to be under, she frowned. "What's wrong?!" she asked, sounding rather frantic. He hadn't answered her, or seem to hear her when she had tried to snap him out of it before and all. "You said you needed to do something...What is it?"

[m1abrams]

I looked around for a moment, that seemed almost real...like I was really back their again. I thought about it only for another moment, finally I looked up at Saiyaka who looked concerned.
"I'm fine really, I was just thinking thats all," I said trying to smile.
I crawled up and out of the well and then reached down and helped Saiyaka up. It was a nice day out just like back at Kagomes house, but it was alot more quite, the noise from her city wasnt here. But before I could think much more about the day, I started to think about it again. These memories just wouldnt leave me alone, I turned and looked at Saiyaka...I should tell her.
"Saiyaka, I guess I should tell you something...why I am in such a weird mood today," I said as I leanded against the well," Today is a very important day to me you see...today was the day that, long ago, my mother died."

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka gave him a sympathetic look and nodded a little. "I see...That could put anybody's thoughts away from here and now," she whispered softly, closing her eyes. "I understand why you're out of it now, and I'm glad that you told me so that I won't have to worry much any more. However, if you're going to visit your mother's gave today, I would gladly come with you," she smiled.

[m1abrams]

"I would want you to come, as would my mother, I am sure she would have loved to meet you if she was still allive," I said walking up to Saiyaka and putting my arms around her.
I held Saiyaka tightly, I was like this everytime I thought about my mother. Perhaps it wouldnt have been like this if I had just stod infront of the blade, instead of jumping away from it and letting it his my mother.

[Flashback]
"Tach," my mother yelled to me as I lay on the ground motionless.
The man stood above me, his sword still drawn. When my mother reached my side, she looked at the cut scross my eye and then up at the demon who had attacked me and Inuyasha.
"Its you, your Sesshomaru arent you," my mother cried in anger.
"A human talking to me in such as way, you best hold your toung in the future," Sesshomaru said turning to leave.
My mother turned back to me, I was just waking up as Inuyasha ran to my side. I opened my cut eye, luckily it hadnt hit my eye. I closed it again when the blood from the cut started to find its way into my eye. I looked at the demon Sesshomaru with anger in my eyes.
"Your cowardess demon, how could you attack us like that. We are just kids," I yelled to him even though it hurt my pride a little.
"You best watch what you say half breed," Sesshomaru said looking at me out of the corner of his eye.
"How could you act this way, if your father was still allive you would never have acted like this," my mom yelled putt and arm around me.
"Dont you ever speak of my father," Sesshomaru said lunging at us once again.
Time seemed to slow down as I felt myself move away from my mother, I hadnt remembered jumping. But I must have because both me and Inuyasha were pushed away as Sessomaru attacked. When I awoke next, Sesshomaru was gone, I picked myself up and then looked at the pool of blood that had leaked to where my hand lay.
"Mother!!!"

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka smiled a little, though a bit sadly. She knew that thoughts of what happened to his mother must be running through his mind, and it was most likely the most painful thing in the world to him at the moment. "Tach..." she whispered, nuzzling against him a little to try and coax him out of his memories.

[The Lost Angel]

Spike saw the demons by the well and accidently dropped my sword it made a loud clatter on the ground.'uhoh they probably heard that'he thought to himself.'I wonder what theyll do will they kill me?'he thought to himself picking up his sword.

[m1abrams]

"What was that," I asked looked around at the trees," I could have sworn I herd something like a sword hitting the ground."
I looked around carefully, and then sniffed the air to see if I could smell any demons. But all I got was a big wif of smoke, someone must have been burning something down in the village. What a pain in the butt that would be, as I looked throught the forest, part of my mind was still on my mother. The scene I saw when I came too, they way she was killed. It was the worst thing I had ever seen in my life, something I would never want to see again. After a moment of searching, I still didnt see anything.
"Huh, must have been a bird or an animal or something," I said looking back at Saiyaka.
It was hard for me to concentrate on anything still, I was to vunerable for my own good. I hated being like this, but I really couldnt help it. The other's were taking a long time to come through, that or...I reached down and picked up and rock off the ground and tossed it into the well.
"Owee," Shippou yelped from inside the well.
"Yeah I figured as much," I said not surprised by them being there probably listening in.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka could tell that Tach was having difficulties with paying attention and all. "Hn...Are you sure you're alright?" she whispered to him, leading him away from the well so that the others wouldn't get to listen. She wanted so badly to just make Tach forget about his bad experiences, but she knew that that was impossible. It was also vice versa. Tach most likely couldn't do anything to clear away the horrible memories that she had in her head.

[The Lost Angel]

"That was a close one"he said sitting in a nearby tree.As he said that the tree branch broke and he fell to the ground with aloud THUD!"oww"he said rubbing his back not even paying attention to the demons that heard him fall from the tree.

[DownRight-eviL]

Vanyel and Seraph muttered expletives as they marched through the woods. They were all alone with no one to bug. "How boooooriiiingggg!!" Seraph said, pouting. Vanyel narrowed his eyes glared at a poor little squirrel. "Stupid.. STUPID!! MUST KILL SQUIRREL!!" shouted Vanyel, now chasing a poor squirrel. Seraph chased after him. "Heyyy!! Wait for MEEE!!" Both of them bumped into a poor tree and blacked out, never noticing the odd looks they had gotten from the other demons around them.

The squirrel that they were chasing was now snickering evilly. It danced out of view and fell off a cliff.

[m1abrams]

Inuyasha was the one who had found the demon who had fallen from the tree, after me and Saiyaka moved away so they couldnt hear what we were talking about. Inuyasha jumped out just in time to see the demon fall.
"And who are you," Inuyasha said looking at the demon.

Saiyaka had taken me far enough away from the well that I didnt know that the demon fell out of the tree yet. We did have to talk, there were many things that I need to say to her.
"I...its hard for me to be normal on this day, I know I should try and let it go. But the way it happened...the way she died will never leave me. Not even if I tried to forget these memories will always be here," I said somberly," The things I saw on that day, how she was killed...it was like he used her for a chew toy the bastard."
Then I broke down and just sat on the ground and just started to cry, this was the first time I had cried for my mother like this. I had always been strong, after that day I never shed a tear for her becuase I knew she wouldnt want to see me crying. But I couldnt help it anymore, I didnt want to keep it in.
"She was the only thing I had, I grew up to fast...I had no choice. First it was my father, even though it was so long ago and I was so young I can still remember his face, the day before he died I remember playing with him as my mother watched. Then the day after, I remember seeing his body filled with arrows as it lay at the front steps of the castle. Then when my mother die, I saw it too...I have seen what death looks like so many times, it changed me," I said as tears flowed from my eyes.
I looked at my hands...what death looks like...I knew all to well what it looked like. After my mother died, and I wondered off into the country side. I was never the same, not untill...I met Saiyaka.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka shook her head some as she looked at Tach. "No matter how bad it may be for you, you shouldn't forget about her death. Forgetting her death may make you forget about other things about her as well," she murmured in a quiet voice.

When Tach just broke down and cry, she stood there for a moment, looking at him. Tears came to her eyes as well as she knelt beside of him and held him to her, letting him rest his head against her chest. She planted a kiss on the top of his head, wishing that she could ease his pain. Perhaps just being there with him could remove a bit of his suffering, but not much. Being there with him couldn't bring his mother back to him.

[m1abrams]

I looked up at Saiyaka as I rested my head on her chest, she was the only one I had ever told this. The only one I ever would, but she still didnt know the whole truth, about what happened after my mother died.
"Saiyaka there is more, after my mother died. And I left our home, I became an evil person...no better than Sesshomaru himself. I had lost myself, desimating village after village, looking for some consolation for the pain I had suffered in the pain of others. But nothing came of it, and in the end I was sealed away by a powerful family of monks far in the south. There I remained for 50 years untill I was awoken, by Kokoru...she had accidently broken the seal and released me. After that, I could never lift my sword against a person who didnt deserve what was coming to them...and even then it was hard. Only when I was pushed hard enough, or emotionally weak enough could I attack someone without a second thought," I said as I tried to dry the tears I has shed," But tell me, before you say anything else...can you still love me even though you know what I have done. All the pain I had caused, the people I had killed?"

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka listened to his story and smiled at him afterwards. "Tach, of course I still love you," she whispered, looking at him with sincere eyes. "The death of somebody close to you...It can destroy people in many different ways, Tach. It can destroy what makes you what you are, what you believe in..." she murmured, trailing off. "It can especially drive you to hate everyone and everything," she added. "I've seen it happen all too much. The fact is, though, that you haven't done any of that stuff for about fifty years now, right? It doesn't matter anymore!"

[The Lost Angel]

"My name is Spike"he said."May i ask who you are?"he said and got up holding his sword just in case the demon might attack him or something else might attack him.

[m1abrams]

"Thank you so much Saiyaka," I said throwing my arms around her.
She didnt care, even though I had done so much wrong she still loved me. I no longer had a reason to cry now, becuase I had Saiyaka. Mother would always be there, I would never let her memory fade away. But the memories of her death, would be overshadowed as long as Saiyaka was by my side. I pulled away from Saiyaka just a little and looked at her, so happy she was here.
"Saiyaka, I can go now...to my mothers grave...I can travel to her grave without knowing when I get their my hands are stained with the blood of the innocent. I can return to where I once lived and visit my mothers grave as the person I used to be, as her son. Becuase of you Saiyaka, you are the one who has changed me back to how I used to be," I said my tears now dry compeatly.
I moved in and gave Saiyaka a kiss, and held her tighly.

[m1abrams]

Sorry ignor this (Dumb Computer)

[Chibi-chan]

A soft smile crossed her face as she kissed him back, laying her head on his shoulder as he held her. After a moment, she broke away from him and clutched onto his hand. "Shall we go, then? I would really like to visit your mother and introduce myself to her," she said, her smile becomming more evident. "...And remember that no matter what you do, I will always have these feeling for you, Tach...always!"

[m1abrams]

I nodded and got to my feet, helping Saiyaka up. My mothers grave was far from here, about a days walk. I figured it would be best if we told the others first, so I went and found them.
"Hey Inuyasha," I called to him as I saw them all still standing by the well.
"Well its about time you came back," Inuyasha snapped.
"Sorry but I had to discuss something with Saiyaka, also I need to tell you that we will be gone for about 2 days," I said suddenly.
"2 days, what do you mean you will be gone for 2 days," Kagome asked kinda confused.
"There is something that I have to do, and I would like Saiyaka to acompany me," I explained.
"Well why dont we just go with you," Miroku sugjested.
"What I mean is that just me and Saiyaka are going...alone," I said glaring over at Miroku.
Inuyasha also shot Miroku a glare, though Miroku was confused as to why he would. Inuyasha understood what I was talking about, for he also remembered what this day was. And I am sure he himself only visited his mother's grave alone or just with Kagome.
"Fine just hurry back, and...give her my prayers as well," Inuyasha said somewhat reluctantly.
"Thank you Inuyasha, I will make sure I do that," I said turning to leave with Saiyaka.
I grabbed ahold of Saiyaka's hand, I wasnt worried about me and her traveling alone. If anything happened I knew we could take care of ourselvs. Plus Inuyasha always kept and ear out, even though he wouldnt admit it.

[Chibi-chan]

"So...Inuyasha knows about your mom's death?" Saiyaka asked, holding onto his hand a little tighter than she usually would. After all, she was in her human form for the time being, and she had no weapon since Tach broke her katana a while back. She knew that Tach wouldn't let anything happen to her and all, but she was still a little nervous about being unarmed.

[m1abrams]

"Well Inuyasha was there when she died, it happened when me and him were playing in the woods just by my house. Inuyasha being himself insulted Sesshomaru, so inturn he tried to kill Inuyasha, but I jumped infront of him and thats how I got this scar over my eye. So really Sesshomaru left me with two scars that day, the physical one over my eye...and the one he left inside of me by taking my mother away," I said lowering my head as we walked off down the road.
Inuyasha knew all about it, he knew what I became after my mothers death. Truth me told we did meet once during that time, we even fought one another. He thought he won, but I just let him...like always. I was still 2 years older than Inuyasha was, and we treated eachother like brothers, and fought like brothers too.
"So, we are alone for awhile now. Kinda seems impossible dosent it, it seems someone is always just around the corner waiting to hear or see something. Especially Miroku, I sware that guy has no life beyond spying," I said with a laugh as I started to forget about what was troubling me so much before," I noticed you are no longer a half demon, it was kinda obvious after awhile...one becuase I wasnt sensing an aura coming from you any longer, and two becuase you are cutting off the circulation to my hand."

[The Lost Angel]

"I feel bad for that one guy"he muttered under his breath looking back and forth looking at the demons."Being glared by your friends that must suck"he muttered shaking his head."But how should i know how it feels ive never had friends"he muttered under his breath looking at his feet and shaking his head at the thought about having no friends.

[Chibi-chan]

Tach's last comment made her realse his hand altogether and she laughed a little, scratching the back of her head a little. "Sorry...I just feel very helpless without a weapon when I'm in human form," she murmured under her breath. She took a deep breath, then let it out, looking at him. "I never know when I'm going to be in this vulnerable state, with Naraku deciding when to change himself and all...He decides when to be at his vulnerable state, but doesn't bother to tell me about, oh no," she laughed.

[m1abrams]

"Here take this," I said reaching behind my back and pulling out a small kife," Its not much but it will help just in case."
I handed Saiyaka the knife, it was in a black cheath and had a black handle, but the blade was silver and part of it was seraded.
"It was my fathers knife, he gave it to me right before he left for battle. And dont worry about giving it back you can keep, I have my sword anyways," I said as I looked at the knife one last time.
That knife was old, my father had used it during some of his most glorious battles, many a demon had been slain by that mear knife. I had kept it just under my belt for the longest time and only used it when I absolutly needed to, it was very important to me. But I felt it would be safe with Saiyaka.
"We will find you a sword too, I am sure there is one where I used to live. If that place hasnt been destroyed since the last time I was there," I said looking at the road ahead of us.

[Red Dragon]

Glancing at the new demon Spike and over to the group Inuka felt torn. She didn't want them to spit up. Some thing that her old master had taught her, 'Divide and conquor'. She pointedly tried to ignore the fact that they were leaving but she realy would miss them. "My name's Inuka" she said to Spike. Looking closer at him she asked "Now what kind of deom might you be?" she asked him. She had seen him at the carnival after her encounter with the mysterious demon in the tree.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka looked at the knife, feeling like she had kind of deprived Tach of his father's possession. "You sure that you want me to keep it?" she asked him quitely as she unsheathed the knife to examine it. It was quite a wonderous blade. Very sharp, and quite easy to handle. She had expected it to be a little heavy when Tach handed it to her, but it was rather light instead.

[m1abrams]

"Of course keep it, I am sure my father would have wanted you to have had it. Even for a demon my father was very kind, my mother often spoke very fondly of him. How he would always take the time to be with her and me when he was not with Inuyasha's father," I said with a smile.
This was all true, my father was a very kind and gentle demon when it came to his family, and even the people around him he was kind too. That is why my mother fell in love with him and they married.
"Lets get off that topic now, we have disscussed my family long enough. I am sure they are quite tired of me spreading rumors about them," I said jokingly," We can however talk about...our family if you want to."
There was the question of the day, our family, since we were getting married. It would be nice to talk about what we were going to do when we recued Kohaku.

[Red Dragon]

Inuka became watchful of Naraku and Yunji, should either of them appear. She knew that if she had to face Kagura again, that she would not stop until the caged wind's spirit was finally free. She growled to herself at the very thought of Kagura's betrayal. It still stung. Everyone gave her odd and concerned looks but she ignored them.

[The Lost Angel]

"Im a dog-demon"he said and sat by a tree noticing that odd look she had on her face.He didnt bother to meet everyone they probably didnt want to talk with a complete stranger so he just stayed there and looked at the beautiful clouds in the sky.'I wonder if they will like me'he muttered to myself looking at them.

[Red Dragon]

Slightly taken aback at the little demons words. "Right then." Inuka growled showing her fangs. She had no expierence with kids other than Kira who was polite and obiedient. Keeping her mind on anything but her loss of Kira she calmed herself and said "Where's your family, or pack?"
She herself had no one, she had passed for Inuyasha as a child and could still pass for his sister now but that made no difference. She cared for him like a brother, like she did Seshomaru but they had had less and less to do with her.

[Chibi-chan]

"My family, huh? You sure you want to go there?" Saiyaka asked Tach, raising a brow at bit. Then she smirked a little to show that she was only joking around. "Well, let's see...What is there to say? I suppose that I can only talk about my father, considering that Mom died giving birth to me and all..." she sighed some and closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again.

"Well, when I was old enough to make my decisions, my father asked me if I wanted to stay with him or go with some other family. In other words, he gave me the choice of becomming a theif or living a normal and decent life," Saiyaka began. "Well, of course I chose the first option. I had been with my father for about four years of my life and came to understand the difference between right and wrong, despite who it was that raised me," she stated with a bit of a laugh.

"Anyway, I not only became a very good pick-pocket, but I also became quite the con-artist as well," she said a bit nervously, rolling her eyes a bit. "I would sit in the middle of some random village and cry and cry, saying that my parents had been slaughted by demons and I had nowhere to go! Well, they bought into a young kid being all alone. People took me into their homes and gave me food. However, when everything was all done with and night fell, I took as much food as I could carry and gave it to my father! And trust me, I could carry a lot!"

"As for my father, when I was off enjoying my own acts, he went to richer villages and terrorized the people there...Makes me so proud," she added sarcastically, giving a small sigh. "He'd burn buildings down, steal, beat people, kill people...Uhh...And other things that I won't go into," the half demon grumbled. After starting to talk about her father, she was kind of ashamed about him and the things he had done.

She then began to add quickly, "But all of what he did was so that he could take care of me and give me what I needed! And I did the same for him, though I didn't go to such extreme measures...I suppose that you would really have to get to know my father before you can call him a good guy. And I mean REALLY have to get to know him..."

[Red Dragon]

Inuka had decided to go bother Inuyasha for awhile. She was on her way over when she caught a hint of Narakus scent. It was somewhat diminished, he had to be human. She smiled, it was his turn to suffer as she had as a helpless human. "Inuyasha, we got company!" she shouted at him taking off. Inuyasha sniffed the air and Kagome jumped on his back as they followed her in the hunt.

[The Lost Angel]

"I wonder what it could be"i said sniffing the scent also and started to follow it behind them at a fast pace.'Who are we looking for'i wondered then the scent became familiar i knew who it was for he killed my family and knowing who it was i went even faster than i usually would run.

[m1abrams]

"You have quite the history, your father sounds like and interesting person. I would very much so like to meet him some day," I said thinking about what she had said," And you say you are a good con artist, not only that you have a real nack for avoiding certain topics and turning the conversation around on someone."
I smirked a little as I thought about what I had really asked her, about our family...but it was more important for me to know what her family was like. I really did wish I could meet her father, just once.
"You know I am really enjoying this, talking about both our families. Even though it can drag up some bad memories at times, its better than keeping it a secret from one another," I said smiling and grabbing Saiyaka's hand again.

[Isunamaru]

hmm the aura was gone...oh welll might as well follow it...leaping down into the well i landed after a while....my feet were still sore from last night's free fall and i climbed out quickly...to see the group running somewhere.....jumping onto the ground, i noticed the dog-demon from yesterday....there was also another aura, not strong enough to be a demon's yet just strong enough to feel....the other demons noticed it too and started running in that direction.....being bored i decided to follow....

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka smiled a little sadly. Tach had met him before, though it wasn't really actually her father...Or was he? She really didn't know anymore. Mouso had told her that he was sorry for dragging her into theft and all, but was that really the case? Had her father, Onigumo, really 'dragged' her into it? No, that wasn't right, and she knew that. She was the one who wanted to stay by her father's side and she was the one who decided that she would become a theif, a liar...everything bad.

[m1abrams]

It took many hours for us to get to the village where I once lived, and to my surprise it looked exactly the same as it had from when I was a child. Even my old house was left un-toutched somehow. Many people moved about the village, many of them I didnt rekognize. But some of them had a familiar scent, like I had met them once before long ago.
"Funny, this place dosent seem any different. Like its been untouched by all the wars and battles throughout the years," I said as we walked into the the village.
As per usuall I got quite a few stairs, some of them were surprised stairs. Like a demon had never stepped foot in the village before. I tried to ignor them best I could as I made may way through the village and too my house. When I finally reached it, it appeared that someone had since dwelled there. Two young children ran around outfront of the building playing, they were around the same age me and Inuyasha were. One of the children stopped and looked up at me and Saiyaka as we approched.
"Who are you," the child asked.
"Me, I am no one very important. I would however like to know if your mother or father is home," I asked the child with a smile.
"Yes my father is here, I will go get him," The child said as he turned to run.
The child ran to the front of the building and shouted for his father, soon after a tall man appeared in the doorway. He looked at his son and then up at me and Saiyaka, he was a little surprised to see a demon standing infront of his house calling for him.
"Who are here and what do want with us," the man asked a little on edge.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka smiled a little when she was watching the children, though she was a little irritated at the staring that was going on. Really, she wanted to yell at the top of her lungs for the people pointing and whispering about him to just shut up and mind their own businesses. Saiyaka hated it when humans stated at half demons...she really and truely hated it.

[m1abrams]

I looked at the man that stood in the doorway, I could tell by the scars he had on his arms and face the he was a Samurai, one that had seen many battles.
"Forgive me for interupting you at such a late hour, but I have mearly come to pay respects to my mothers grave," I said bowing my head slightly.
"I'm sorry boy but there are no demons burried here in our cemiteries," the man said as he was about to turn and go back inside.
"My mother is not demon, she is human," I said stopping the man right in his tracks.
The man turned his head and looked at me, the only part of me he saw that was demon was my ears and claws. He hadnt thought much of it before but now he realized that I was a half demon.
"Than you are just a half demon," the man asked walking towards me.
"Yes I am, also this house is where I used to live. I was wondering if you would allow us to enter your home," I asked the old Samurai.
The man stopped and thought about that for a moment, his two children came to his side and started to tug on his shirt.
"Come on dad let him come in, he isnt a bad demon," one of the boys said.
"Yeah he is a good demon, we can sense it," the other boy said as he tugued on the other side of the mans shirt.
"Allright you two I beleive you, they can come in. Why dont you two run inside and put on some tea for a guests then, I will show them in," the man said putting a hand on either childs head.
When the two boys ran off into the house rather excited that they had a demon at there house...why they were excited about I dont know. Most children would not be so friendly to me. The man looked back at me and Saiyaka and laughed a little.
"Why dont you come on inside, if Taro and Senshi say you are a good demon than I have to belive them," the man said as he lead us into his home.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka smiled a little, glad that some people didn't mind half demons. Even though she herself didn't grow up as a half demon, she knew how hard it was for ones who did. They had to live being critisized, being different, and worst of all...being alone.

[m1abrams]

The man showed us into his house and had us sit down, I looked around the place. It looked different from when I lived here, mainly becuase there was an entire wall filled with weapons. The man sat down across from us as his two sons made some tea.
"So then, before we get started I suppose I should introduce myself, my name Shinzou Yamigata. And those are my two sons, Taro and Senshi. We have lived here now for about a year, no one seemed to even come near this house untill we moved it. Rumor had it that an evil demon once lived here," Shinzou said folding his arms.
"Well I can gurentee you that no evil demon ever lived here, just my mother and myself lived here," I reasured Shinzou.
"Is that so, the rumor also says that this evil demon was a half breed, son of an evil dog demon and a human women who's soul was captured by the dog demon. If you ask me it all sounds quite rediculous, I am not a big fan of rumors such as those," Shinzou said waving his hand as if to dissmiss the rumor.
"Rumors like that seem to spread fast when it involvs half breeds such as me, too many the union between a demon and a human is something than can only be brought about by an evil spell...if that is true than I didnt know that love was an evil spell," I said laughing some.
Shinzou started laughing quite hard from that little joke of mine, Taro and Senshi came in with a pot of tea and some cups. They set it down at the table and then they took a seat. They seemed all to interested in me for some odd reason, mainly they were interested in my sword that I had laied down next to me. I raised a brow and picked up the sword.
"You want to see it," I asked the two with a smile on my face.
"Yes please can we," Taro said excitedly.
"Just be careful with it, this is a very special blade," I said putting the sword in Taro's hands.

[Chibi-chan]

A smile appeared on Saiyaka's face as she looked at the children. It sort of amused her that they were so interested in the sword, when the wall right in front of them had a large variety of weapons. Then again, this was a sword that they had never seen before and all, so she supposed it wasn't as funny as she thought it to be at first.

Standing up, she walked over to the wall and looked at the weapons there, admiring the different craftmanship of each one. "This is quite some collection you have here, Mr. Yamigata," she stated.

[m1abrams]

"Yes, over the years I have collected many weapons. Each one of them has an equally amazing story behind it, especially that one on the end," Shinzou said poiting to a sword on the very end.
I peared around Shinzou and his children and looked at that sword he was pointing at, when I caught sight of the blade his finge fell apon I felt my heart skip a beat. Its black blade relecting nothing but an evil shodow against the wall it hung on. I slowly got to my feet and walked towards the blade.
"Where did you get this sword," I asked as I moved closer to it.
"Well that one I found recently, in an old temple a good distance from here. The temple was compleatly destroyed, it appeared that it was blown apart by some powerful force," Shinzou explained to me.
I didnt need it explained to me, I knew all to well. This sword, it should have been destroyed then, but how could it have survived such and explosion. I mad esure that it would be hit by the maximum force of the blast. Shinzou got to his feet and looked towards me, he saw a slight hint of fear in my eye.
"Are you allright," he asked me.
"Yes I'm fine, this sword just looks familar thats all," I said turning from the blade.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka frowned at Tach a little, giving him her famous head tilt that she did when she was confused about something or another. "Tach..." she murmured, taking his hand for a minute. Something about that sword had bothered him somehow, and she wanted to know why.

[m1abrams]

I sat back down, my eyes quivering with both confusion and fear. That sword, how could it have survived, I was sure it would have been destroyed by that blast. I looked down at my hand and realized that I was shaking all over, Shinzou and his children looked at me a little confused. I had to explain to them about the sword.
"That sword, it was once my own," I said still shaking a little.
"You mean you were the one who..."
"I was the one who tried to destroy it, becuase it is pure evil. Its black blade represents all of the lives taken by it. Once long ago that blade was as silver and pure as the blade you have there Taro, but after the many lives it took, its blade blackened with evil. It is very dangerous to keep around Shinzou, that blade will increase the power of any demon who touches it and will bring out the darkest evil from within them," I explained rather reluctantly.
"You mean the blade, was used to kill the inocent," Shinzou asked in shock.
"Yes, many died at the edge of that blade. It is cursed, you should get rid of it and soon as you can," I advised.
"Of course I understand, I will send it to a monk up in the mountains. He can destroy any blade, no matter how evil or powerful it is. Untill then you two are welcome to stay in our home untill morning, when I return in the morning I will show you to our cemitary," Shinzou said getting to his feet," Taro, Senshi go prepare the two extra rooms for our guests."
"Of course father," Taro said as he and his brother got to their feet.
"Two rooms wont be nessicary, one will be just fine," I said abrubtly.
Shinzou quickly thought about that for a moment, and then noticed that Saiyaka and I were holding hands. Shinzou smiled and gave him a light dumb slap on the side of the head.
"I'm sorry about that, I did not realize that you two are together," Shinzou said with a small laugh.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka smiled a little bit, wondering how it couldn't be obvious. Then again, they had just met this man. How would he know if they were together or not? She sighed after a moment and looked towards the blade once again, trying to place something, it seemed. "...Were you the only one in possession of that blade, Tach?" she asked suddenly.

[m1abrams]

"No, I was not," I said with some relief," There was one other person who used that blade. As you know Sesshomaru's blade, the Tensuiga is the sword of healing. So its power was not suffeciant for him, he needed a blade that would kill, so he carried another blade. A black bladed Katana with no name."
I looked one last time at the blade, it seemed to be calling me again. Like many times before that it called me to hold it once again, to transform to my full demon form. I just narrowed my eyes at it as if to mock the blade itself.
"So this Sesshomaru, who was he and how did you get this sword from him," Shinzou asked me.
"Sesshomaru is a dog demon, the older brother of a good friend of mine. One day when we were both young we encountered Sesshomaru, and it ended in the death of my mother. I dont know how or why, but Sesshomaru left the black blade behind next to the body of my mother...as if to taunt me further," I said clentching a fist.
"I see, I am sorry for asking you a question that brought up such bad memories," Shinzou apologized.
"No its allright, It's gotten easier for me to tell the story over time," I said smiling again.

[Chibi-chan]

"Sesshomaru owned the blade before you, huh?" Saiyaka asked, crossing her arms over her chest and seeming to go into thought. "Then how does it seem so much more familiar to me? And how come I didn't notice until now that it's familiar?" she grumbled, mainly to herself. This was getting quite frustrating, trying to figure stuff out from her past.

[m1abrams]

"Why don't you try and figure it out over some rest, I am sure you travelled far to get here for I havnt seen you in these parts before. It will take me all night to bring this sword up to the mountains to have it destroyed," Shinzou said as he went to the wall and pulled the black sword off.
"Are you sure you want to go alone, I can acompany you if you wish," I said getting to my feet.
"I'll be fine, I may be an old war dog but I still have some fight left in me," Shinzou said as he grabbed another sword off the wall for his own protection.
"A war dog huh, well it didnt take much for me to figure out you were a soldier at one point," I said looking at the wall of weapons.
"Not just any soldier, I used to be the captain of the guard for a very important man many years ago," Shinzou said he opened a cabnit with suit of armor in it.
"Really, who was it," I asked.
"Oh no body you need to be concerned about, he died a very long time ago during a battle. Guess I wasnt a very good captain of the guard than was I, though I guess I can't really blame myself since I was..."
"Since you were what," I asked Shinzou after he trailed off.
"Nothing, it was nothing," Shinzou said as he started to put on the armor.
When I looked at the armor that was in the cabnit, it struck me as familiar. I didnt know where I had seen it before but it was very famliar the more I looked at it. Shinzou quickly put on the chest, shoudler and leg armor but left the rest of it behind. He probably wouldnt want to be luging that around all night.
"Well I am off, I had Taro and Senshi make up the best guest room we have for you," Shinzou said as he walked for the door.
"Thank you again for all your hospitality," I said to Shinzou as he walked out the door.

[Chibi-chan]

"Yes," Saiyaka agreed, "We really appreciate this," she stated, sighing a little as she stood up and began to pace around. This was the first time that she was really trying to think in depth about something. "That sword...Are you sure that it can be destroyed, Tach?" she asked after a moment as she suddenly stopped pacing. "I mean...If you failed to destroy it and all...Do you think that Shinzou can?"

[m1abrams]

"I'm not sure, he said he knew a monk up in the mountains that could destroy it. And even if he can't, the further away from that sword I am the better. The entire time we were sitting here after I noticed it, it was calling out to me to pick it up. And transform again," I said looking at my right hand," I think we can trust him when he says he can destroy it."
Even though we just met Shinzou I felt like I had known him longer, I must just be tired or something. But those two boys, Taro and Senshi were also famliar. I wonder if I had met him before, no that can't be he said himself he had never seen me around here before.
"Maybe we should just get some sleep, we will go to my mothers grave early in the morning. That way we can get back to the others, I know Inuyasha is probably allready getting impaciant," I said holding my palm on my head like I was getting sick.

[Chibi-chan]

"Tach, are you feeling alright?" Siayaka asked him, wraping an arm around his waist some, souding concerned. "...I think that you especially need rest," she murmured, closing her eyes and sighing. This day seemed to be getting quite stressfull for her mate, and she didn't like seeing him this way. She just hoped that things would get better by the next morning. At least, that's what she silently prayed for in her mind.

[Red Dragon]

Inuka sniffed. More demons had joined her hunt. Strange, she didn't recall most of them. Inuyasha also seemed on edge. She drew Defender as she neared a lords castle. She saw fear on the humans faces as she passed over them, leaving them untouched. The smell of Naraku was coming from the castle its self. She saw the warroirs banding together to stop her and the rest. She didn't even bother to use her blade. She slashed at them cutting thier armor but drawing no blood, as a warning.

[Isunamaru]

Following the demons i started to stare as i found the chase leading to a castle....still following i leapt over the humans to see what exactly this chase was leading to....

[The Lost Angel]

I also jumped over the demons following Inuka towards the castle hoping that Naraku wouldnt tell that we are coming which he probably wouldnt even know were coming.

[Isunamaru]

(umm....how do you know them.... i thought you were a random stranger....)
THe humans rallied and to stop the chaos i pulled out my gun and shot straight up in the air....it caused more chaos and there were humans everywhere....

[m1abrams]

"I'm fine, just have a headache thats all. Nothing to be concerned about," I said smiling trying to reasure Saiyaka.
Though it was just a headache, it was an especially bad one. I had never had one this bad before wich was saying something, I get really bad headaches right before I get sick. It never fails, so even though I felt fine now. I could almost gurantee myself I would be sick as a dog in the morning. Wich made sense considering was part dog demon.
"Excuse Mr Tach, if you want I can make up some medicine that will get rid of that headache," Senshi said as he ran up to me.
"Thank you very much, but I really will be fine. Just need some sleep thats all," I said as I got to my feet.
Taro showed Saiyaka and me the room we would be staying in, it was rather large. It was my old room, I remember becuase I could still see the marks from my claws on the wood. I would always practice with my claws on the furniture and the walls, it would drive my mother crazy. The bed was new however, mine would probably have been too small anyways. There was also a thing if Sake that someone had put in the room, my guess it was that Taro boy. He seemed like the mischvious type.
"Have a good nights rest," the boys said in unison as they shut the door.
"Nice kids, there father must have raised them well for them to act with such manners. Though this large bottle of saka takes a point off that, I think its suppose to be a joke," I said picking up the bottle and looking at it.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka laughed a little, picking up the bottle and pouring some of it in one of the small cups. "Well, joke or not, they are offering it," she said with a bit of a wink, putting the cup of liquid to her lips and letting it run into her mouth. "Hn...That's some good stuff right there," she said with a bit of a grin.

[Isunamaru]

however one human stood by himself to stop us from rushing into the castle...i stopped running, walked up to him and asked him how his day was...while he was stumbling for an answer i unsheathed Reaver and beheaded him....hmm..another demonic aura, looking up i saw a wind demon....

[m1abrams]

I couldnt help but laugh at what Saiyaka said, but she was right. It was there and its not like anyone told us not to drink it. I poured a little of the Sake into a cup and quickly drank it. It was pretty good, strong but good.
"I have a feeling this might be all gone by morning," I said jokingly.
I poured some more into my little cup and drank it a little slower this time, I hadnt had Sake for a long time. Never had a chance to come across it, and this was tasting pretty good right now. And it seemed to be helping my headache so I kept taking more and more. This would not be a normal night...not as long as there was plenty of Sake around that is.

[m1abrams]

Oh I am seriously going to kill my computer.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka raised a brow at Tach and shook her head some. "It's not going to be a good idea to drink a whole lot when you have a headach," she stated, laughing a little. "You're going to probably have a worse one when you wake up tomorrow if you keep on drinking like that!"

[Red Dragon]

Inuka almost did an about face and ram Defender down that demons throat for killing the human, especially when it had no chance. She stopped herself and realized how soft she had become. She would have done the same and then some... She growled anoyedly but lept gracefully over the castles walls. She saw a large encamptment, she gave a yowl as a dart hit her. It reaked of magic as she glanced down to find a monk amungst the ranks. "Look out for the darts" she called behind her.

She recognized the demon from Kagome's era, the one she had surprised. He was a good fighter, just as she had thought. She flew over to the nearest building and crashed through the roof, hoping that some one would follow as her backup.

[Isunamaru]

Running straight into the ranks of humans i punched my fist through the first human in line then threw him into his fellow soldiers....unsheathing Reaver i started to cut my way through the humans to the castle walls....

[m1abrams]

"Yeah but its worth a headache, I mean think about it. When's the next time we will be able to have a room to ourselvs, with Sake. And no one else around to barge in, we will likely never have a night like this again," I pointed out with a fingure in the air.
Okay so part of me was lying a little, it wouldnt be hard to ditch Inuyasha and the others if we really wanted to. And sake isnt that hard to come by, even Keade had a small bottle in her hut.
"Okay the more I think about that, the stupider it sounds. You know your right, maybe I should hold back on the sake for now," I said putting my cup down," However..."
The sake I had allready ingested had gone strait to my head. Okay I wasnt that drunk I still knew what was going on and what I was thinking, but hey I was being half driven by the sake and half by myself. I had a strange look on my face, it was then that I just tackled Saiyaka...I was just messing around of course. I didn't have anything 'else' in mind, I was just playing around. I rolled her onto the floor and pinned her there, a big smirk on my face.
"Gotcha, bet you can't get free now can ya" I said raising a brow and smiling.

[Chibi-chan]

Siayaka looked quite surprised at this, but laughed all the same, smirking. "Well now...What makes you think that I actually want to get free?" she questioned him, raising a brow. The smirk was still there so that he could tell that she was playing around just as well.

[m1abrams]

I looked a little puzzled for a moment, when I finally realized she was playing around just as much as I was I almost started to laugh at myself. I didnt move though, if she wanted to have contest to see who could stay here longer than I was more than willing to stay here all night.
"Well if you dont want to get free thats fine with me, I am rather enjoying this position I am in, I could stay here all night," I said smiling.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka burst out laughing when he said this, and she shook her head a little. "I think I like this position as well...The floor is rather comfortable," she said with a teasing hint in her voice. Smiling, she lifted her head up enough to plant a kiss on his lips.

[Isunamaru]

after many of the humans realized i wasn't easy prey they kinda just surrounded me waiting for something....i leapt up to the battlements and while blocking an entourage of darts i charged the foot-soldiers....noticing the dog-demon from before i went on another rampage killing the monks and humans....i was beginning to enjoy myself....many of the humans had run, seeing their comrades and friends slaughtered and when i saw the few humans brave enough to bar my way standing in front of the gate to the inner castle i rushed them.....

[m1abrams]

When Saiyaka kissed me it took me off guard at first, I wasnt expecting it. But after a brief second of surprise I pushed a little hard and kissed back. When I broke away I no longer had a playful look on my face. I backed away and then pulled Saiyaka to her feet, I was a little more serious now. I was about to say something but I shook my head and let the words dissapate in my mind.
"I shouldnt, I had let my mind wonder somewhere it shouldnt have," I said still shaking my head," I am sure you would like to get some sleep anyways."
Now I knew how Miroku's mind worked, well mine wasnt as bad as his. Atleast I only thought about stuff like that when it was actually appropriate.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka blinked some and sat up, giggling a little bit as she climbed up on the bed. "Oh, are you telling me that you'd rather not have done that?" she asked playfully as she laid down. "We were just getting to the good part!" she laughed, hugging him.

[Isunamaru]

i slaughtered these humans, getting a few cuts and bruises in the process
....without warning the wind-demon landed infront of me.... The rest of group landed nearby and surrounding the now unconsious demon (inuka) unsheathed their weapons....

[m1abrams]

Now I was compleatly flabergasted, this just started out as some horsing around. At first I didnt even have this in mind, but hey where ever the road leads ya. You might as well fallow it while your there. I dont know why I was so surprised by the hints Saiyaka was giving me, we were mates after all.
"Told you we should have left the sake alone," I said jokingly as I approched Saiyaka on the bed.
Before I reached the bed I noticed the light flickering just next to the bed, I walked up to it and blew it out. The only light now came from the doors, the light from the moon shown in just enough so we could see one another. I sat down on the bed next to Saiyaka and looked at her.

[Chibi-chan]

"Was this the first time you've had sake, Tach?" Saiyaka asked him as she gazed back at him, a smile on her face. "I bet it was! If you had it before, then you wouldn't have gotten the way you just were," she teased, poking his cheek a little. "Now me...I'm a drinker!" she laughed.

[Red Dragon]

Inuka shakes her head and tries to rise. 'Dang, that hurt' she thought trying to rise. She saw the ring of humans closing in on her 'Well thats not good' she thought gripping for Defender. She swong it at one side of the ring and they fell back briefly. She saw the demon from the furture. Gritting her teeth she shouted "Whats your name demon?" She tried to stand but was overwelmed by the mass of humans. She staggered, getting really pissed off. "Thats it!" she shouted glaring at them, her golden eyes glowing dangeriously. She transformed and slaughtered them all without a second thought. She gasped as she saw Kagura frowning at her from across the yard.

[Isunamaru]

i turned to see the unconsious demon stand up??? i heard her ask me some sort of question and then transform....

[The Lost Angel]

Spike saw the demon across the yard from inuka and when he saw inuka he almost sh** his pants as she was in demon form."Who is that person across from you?"i asked looking at the demon across from her.

[Red Dragon]

Inuka shrunk back to her more human like form and approached Kagura with murder in her eyes. "You tried to kill my friends, and me." she shouted. The demon from the future was looking slightly bewildered. She still wanted to know his name.

[Isunamaru]

'umm....WTH is going on????' i asked as calmly as i could....when they didn't answer i turned to the dog-demon from the theme park and asked him 'ya know whats going on?'

[Red Dragon]

"She betrayed me to Naraku. Wretch!" she shouted to the demon as well as Kagura who looked hurt. "You'll feel my fangs in your flesh before the night is over." she hissed a Kagura.

[The Lost Angel]

"We cant worry about that right now we have to get naraku"he said rather annoyed waiting for them to get this over with."We have to deal with him later we naraku to worry about"he said looking at inuka and the demon in front of her.

[m1abrams]

"Okay you want to know the truth," I said folding my arms," truth is that I have had sake before, I just dont drink to often thats all. But I drink enough so that little amount that I just had, barly effects me, so everything I do here...is compleatly my own doing, not that of the sake."
It was getting very late, I had to guess it was allready past midnight at this point. Strange how I wasnt tired one bit though. Guess I had enough sake in my system to keep me going.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka laughed a little bit and ruffled up his hair in a rather playful manner. "Aww...You're not a big drinker..." she said with a bit of a fake pout. "So...All of that back there on the floor wasn't the influence of the evil sake?" she giggled, closing her eyes for a moment.

[m1abrams]

(OOC: OH crapola I think I broke my toe...its hurts SOOOO bad. So if my typing seems a little off right now, its becuase my toe is killing me. Its wierd though, I am laughing at myself about it)

"Nope it was all me, there might have been a tad bit of sake influence. But then again I probably would have done it even if I werent drinking," I said giving Saiyaka a playful look," Wich brings me to my next daring act."
I rolled onto of Saiyaka again, I didnt really trap her this time. This time I did have something else in mind....

(OOC: I know I am bad, what can I say...I will let you decide what happens next. So what will it be, sleepy time...or ???????...owee my toe still hurts)

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka looked at him in surprise for a moment, but the slight shock on her face slowly disolved and she smiled. Looking at his eyes, reading them, she laughed a little as she saw that he was really serious this time. There was no goofing around in his eyes, as there were none in hers. She fiddled around his his hair a little bit. "...You're not tired, are you?" she asked him softly.

[m1abrams]

"Tired, naaa. I am wide awake and could stay up all night," I said in something of a cocky tone," And dont you dare tell me you are tired and then fall asleep on me. That would just be cruel."
That last bit I was just joking around...well sorta, it would be cruel in some ways. I reached down and put my hand on Saiyaka's cheek, and then leaned down and kissed Saiyaka on the lips. I was just about joking around for one night...I would leave the joking for the morning.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka laughed a little and shook her head some. "Me? Tired? I think you're talking to the wrong girl," she stated with a slight grin on her face as she kissed him back and closed her eyes momentarily. "I don't think that I could be that cruel to you ever," she added as she opened her eyes.

[m1abrams]

(OOC: Yeah this is a good time to fade out...fading out now captain...wow that sounded dumb)

The next morning (See I faded :) Shinzou arrived back early, he had given the sword to the monk up in the mountains and had good news from the monk. I was allready sitting down on the front porch running a cloth that had been slightly dipped in oil over the blade of my sword.
"Good morning, I have returned with good news," Shinzou called out to me as he walked down the road.
"Its about time you got back, did you take care of the sword," I asked as he walked up the front steps.
"Yes, and I have good news from the monk atop the mountain. He reasures that he can destroy the sword with no trouble at all," Shizou said taking a seat.
"Well that's a releife, now that blade will no longer be able to harm anyone," I said with a sigh.
"It dose not end there, the monk also said that if the blade had not been given to him to destroy. The evil from the blade would have eventually leaked from the nicks it had received over the years from the endless battles and slaughters it took part in. If that had happened, it would have more than likely have consumed who ever was holding it or was close enough to it. It was a good thing you came here, or we would not have been as lucky," Shinzou said very happily.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka was sitting beside Tach, drinking away at the rest of the sake. Usually, she probably wouldn't be doing such a thing in the moring, let alone taking such advantage of it being given to her. However, for some reason, she just felt like drinking. Though she thought that she should stop soon, seeing as she was slightly swaying, even though she was just sitting there.

"It's a good thing that the monk can take care of it, then!" Saiyaka stated, thankful that her speach was still fine and in tact. A sword like that had no right to exist in this world.

[m1abrams]

"You can say that again, I dont know why I didnt try and get rid of it sooner," I said laughing.
Before I could say anything more Taro and Senshi came running out of the house and litterally jumped into their fathers arms. My eyes nearly bulged out of my head when I saw them jump, considering he was a good 10 to 15 feet away from them when the leaped into the air. Now I knew something was going on, I had a feeling about it yesterday when the two said they sensed I was good demon but didnt think much of it till now.
"Hey you two, what have I said about jumping like that, you are going to hurt yourselvs," Shinzou said hugging the two kids.
"I'll say, that was quite a jump you two. Where did you learn to do that," I asked Taro and Senshi.
"We tought ourselvs, we can do lots more than that too, wanna see," Taro said looking like he was ready to jump again.
"Taro thats enough now, you and your brother go back inside. I am going to show our guests here to the grave yard," Shinzou snapped rather suddenly.
"Of course father, we're sorry," Taro said as he stopped and ran inside the house with Senshi.
Now I was sure of it, there was something about those to kids, and Shinzou. They werent normal humans, or atleast I didnt think they were.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka put the cork on the sake bottle and frowned a little, looking at Tach. She was still human, and couldn't sense a darn thing. "...Are those children...really human?" she whispered to him as she sent a glance towards them.

[m1abrams]

"I dunno yet, but something tells be this is no normal family," I said getting to my feet.
Shinzou had set out to show us the way to the grave yard, there on the outskirts, beyong the fatherest grave stone was my mothers grave. The villagers wouldnt even let me burry her with the rest becuase they feared us so much. With Saiyaka in hand and walked up closer to Shinzou who was in something of a bad mood now.
"What is it," he asked me looking back at me through the corner of his eye.
"I've just met you Shinzou, but it seems I have known you longer than that. Taro and Senshi also seem very familiar to me. Yes you say that we have never met before, is there something that you are not telling me," I asked my head lowered just a tad with my eyes pearing up at Shinzou.
"I have no idea what you are talking about," Shinzou said trying to move ahead.
"Listen Shinzou I..."
I tried to stop and turn him around, but when my hand was just about to grab his shoulder I stopped. The aura I felt from him nearly flung my hand away, no wonder I couldnt sense his aura before. He had been surpressing it this whole time, and his children. Taro and Senshi must also have been surpressing their demon power, becuase I never even felt it. The look of shock on my face was compared to no other, I had never been this surprised in my life. For the aura I felt coming from him was...the same.
"Who are you...really, there is no way that you are human. Not with a demonic aura...like his," I said stopping dead in my tracks.
"I didnt want to tell you, it would have been to hard if I just spoke the truth, you probably wouldt have beleived me. But I knew you would figure it out on your own after awhile anyways, even though its been many years and my face has changed over time. I am still the same person, now come, we best get to your mothers grave before you have to leave" Shinzou said with a small smile on his face.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka was clearly confused by all of this, tilting her head to the side and whimpering to show that she wasn't understanding a thing. "What's...going on?" she asked, looking between them, hoping that one or the other would answer her and allow her to understand the situation.

[m1abrams]

"Why didnt you just tell me, what if I hadnt figured it out would you have just let me leave without knowing you were allive," I asked becoming upset.
I had herd Saiyaka's question, but I couldnt answer it at the moment. The shock of seeing him allive was just starting to set in. I dont know how I could not have known, further more if he was allive then why didnt he...come back to mother and me.
"I would have had no choice, I would rather have preferred it if you hadnt even figured out I was still allive if you must know the truth," Shinzou said some what reluctantly.
"But...why...why would you let your own son going on thinking that you were dead," I said almost so quite he couldnt hear.
"Becuase there are people after me Tach, and I dont want you getting dragged into this. I died on purpose back then, to protect you and your mother. There was more going on back than then you think, it was well known among my soldiers that he was father to a half breed. They despised him for it, and if they found out that I was the same. Then they would have killed both of you, and I could not bare to see that," Shinzou yelled back at me.
"But mother died, and you werent there to protect her. How could you stand by and let something like that happened, where were you when we needed you most," I yelled back at him.
"I was in the east, I had no way of knowing that your mother was killed untill I finally came out of hidding to find you and her. By that time I allready had Taro and Senshi with me, and when we arrived here and learned that she had died. There was nothing I could do," Shinzou a little calmer.
"So in other words you ran off and married again, and compleatly pushed me and mother to the side," I yelled in a complete rage.
"I did no such thing, I have always loved your mother and always will. Taro and Senshi's mother, she was mearly temptation gone wild. But do not think I dont care for your brothers any less," Shinzou said a little coldly.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka's eyes widened and she was quite as she stepped back away from them. Shinzou was really Tach's father, was he? This was quite the surprise, and it didn't seem to be a very pleasent one, the way things were going at the moment. Right now, Saiyaka really didn't think that she belonged there with them, as if she was disrupting something or another.

[Red Dragon]

"Fine, lets go." Inuka said getting back on track. She had to focus. Glaring at Kagura she pressed on. "If you kill him, you kill me" Kagura said jumping infront of Inuka again. "Like you care if he lives or dies. You sure didn't care about me." she shot at Kagura. Kagura's eyes narrowed. "He has my heartin his body, if I don't obay he kills me in an instant. If you kill him I die as well." Kagura said unfolding her fan.

[Isunamaru]

"hmm....that's messed up man!" i said and they turned as if surprised by my presence...i walked past the wind demon and straight into the castle prepared to defend myself if she proved hostile....

[m1abrams]

I clentched my fists, the anger filling my entire body. I was glade in some sense that my father was allive, but the fact that he abandoned my mother and me and went and hid himself.
"It's unforgivable what you have done, leaving mother and me to die like that. I bet you didnt even care what happened to us," I said in pure anger.
"You best watch your toung, as your father I deserve more respect than that," Shinzou said notcing the fact I was becomin rather angry.
"Your not my father, you dont even have the same name as my father," I growled.
"I only changed my name in order to protect myself and you," Shinzou growled back.
"Shut up, I dont want to hear it anymore. You are not my father and I am going to prove it, my father was mearly unstopable on the battlefield. If you are truly my father than you will be able to stop me from killing you, if not...then your just plain outa luck buddy," I said raising my claws.
"Then come at me Tach, let me see what kind of fighter you have become," Shinzou said getting into a fighting stance.
I jumped forward, my claws at the ready. He was too slow to be my father, if so he would have moved by now. I reached out and slashed with my claws, expecting to hear the tearing of flesh. But all I herd was the sound of my own breath escaping me as I caught a sharp blow to the back, I slammed strait into the ground, boucned into the air again, then back down where I slid to a stop. I slowly picked my head up after a moment and looked over at Shinzu, he was just straitening himself out again.
"Maybe now I have knocked some of that hot air out of you," Shinzou said with a mocking look on his face.

[Chibi-chan]

"Tach!" Saiyaka scowled as Tach charged at his father and was rather badly beaten with one blow. Shaking her head some, she kneeled beside him and helped her lover up, looking to the man. "Tach does have a point, you know," she whispered softly, closing her eyes. "If you were as strong as Tach has lead me to believe, then you most definately could have protected your family against whoever was trying to harm them, right? You could have hidden yourself and them!"

[m1abrams]

"Its not as simple as that, there were greater powers that even me behind the betrayal of the dog demon's army. Many of my best and most loyal men were slain mearly by siding themselvs with me and him, them and their entire families. Wives and children, no one was spared. I would not allow that same fate to befall my own family," Shinzou explained walking towards Saiyaka and me.
"But she is still gone, you could have taken us with you instead of leaving us like you did. Do you know what we had to go through, all the things that were done to us mearly becuase of who I was and who you were. We both suffered, while you sat back far in the east and had another family with some worthless wench," I growled as I got to my feet again.
I reached around and grabbed the handle fo my sword and pulled the blade out, the sun reflected off the morning sun and went strait into Shinzou's eyes. He shielded his eyes for a moment and thats when I jumped at him. My blade at the ready to my side, I threw all my weigth behind the attack. But I found myself being stopped short as Shinzou grabbed my blade with his bare hand, he looked down at me with something of a satisfied look.
"Well then you are quite good, though that was quite the dirty trick you just played. Never the less you are still to young to realize your own limitations, and that is your weakness," Shinzou said quite amuzed my my attack.
Before I realized it Shinzou had pulled my own sword from my hands, he elbowed me right in the chest and sent me flying to the ground. The turned my own blade on me, I proped myself up with my elbows getting ready to jump up again when I noticed the blade in my face.

[Chibi-chan]

"That's enough of this!" Saiyaka scolded, pulling Tach away from the blade. She let out a sigh and ran a hand through her hair, closing her eyes. "What you did to Tach and his mother...It was wrong," she told Shinzou. "You caused them pain, faking your death the way that you did, do you not realized that? My father...I was close to him, and I know that loosing him would tear me appart! It was probably the same with your wife and son! If Tach wasn't there with her, she probably would have died from sorrow! You should have at least told them your plans...Instead of making them go through your 'death'!"

[m1abrams]

"This girl of yours Tach, she is quite the talker. And she is not in the least bit scared of me even though I am a demon, I sense a hint of demon in her," Shinzou said with a smile.
"Yeah well that's none of your concern," I said getting to my feet.
"Huh, still dont beleive I am your father then. And even if you did I can see why you would be mad at me, all I can give you is an apology for all those days and nights I wasnt there. And this one here is also right," Shinzou said looking at Saiyaka," what I did was wrong, but don't you think I realize that by now. I was near to taking my own life when I learned that your mother was dead and you were gone, I have suffered just as much in my own life."
"Okay then, say for a moment that you really are my father, and that you truly still do love me as your son. Than you would be willing to come out of hiding once again, and together we will face down those who tore our family apart. And make them pay for the many years of pain we both suffured," I said looking Shinzou strait in the eyes.
Shinzou didnt seem to take that too well, he flinched a little when he herd me say this and he kinda turned his head and wouldnt look at me for the longest time.
"Aparently you are not my father then, he wasnt a coward like you," I said turning to leave.
"Dont you ever call me a coward again you worthless mutt," Shinzou snapped his eye's glowing red with anger at the comment.
I smiled when he reacted this way, only my father would become that angry over being called a coward. I remember many years back seeing what happened to another demon who cared to call him a coward, it wasnt pretty.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka, absentmindely, unsheathed the blade that used to belong to the demon. There was a muderous look in her eyes. "You!" she hissed. "Don't you ever call Tach something like that again, even if you are his father!" she scolded, her voice thick with hate at the moment. Apparently, she didn't like Tach being dubbed as a 'worthless mutt'.

[Red Dragon]

Kagura slashed at the demon as he tried to pass her. Her wind dance had improved since the last time. They were all wipped about. Inuyasha had drawn fathers fang and held Kagome against the wind. She had held bac for old friendships sake but now she was pissed she tackled Kagura and almost clawed her when Naraku appeared above riding away on one of his minions. "Quick! Follow him!" she shouted

[Isunamaru]

I wasn't surprised when the wind demon attacked and instead of moving back i leapt straight into the air watching the demon's get blasted by the air.....noticing a human on another demon....while in the air i noticed more humans surrounding us....

[m1abrams]

"No Saiyaka it's allright," I said as I put my hand on hers and lowered the knife.
"You know better than to call me that Tach," Shinzou said calming down some.
"I know thats the thing, I guess your truly are my father. Or someone who's knows alot about him, for now I am going to trust you and beleive you are who you say you are. But know now with that also comes great disgust for what you have done," I said walking towards him.
"You have grown Tach, there is some maturity in that thick head of yours. I'm am proud to call you my son, and now that I know I have some trust in you again. I will do as you asked me too and reveal myself once again to those who have hunted me over the years," Sinzou said with some releife.
"You seemed releived, a minute ago you look scared to even think about it," I said a smile once again crossing my face.
"Its just been a long time, since I have fought anyone. And I have hid in order to protect my family for so long, its hard to think about what might happen," Shinzou said sitting down on a rock.
"Well now that your son has re-joined you, I dont think you will have much to worry about. I have some pretty strong friends that would be more than willing to help out," I said putting a hand on Saiyaka's shoulder.
"Powerful friends huh, is your friend here one of them," Shinzou asked.
"Of course she is, as you well know ones mate is much more powerful than her male counterpart," I said laughing.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka calmed down slightly and sheathed the blade, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. "...Hn, yes...Tach is right about that," she said with a bit of a smirk as she opened her eyes again. "I'm much stronger than this boy," she teased, suddenly putting Tach into a headlock. "Even if I am human at the moment!"

[m1abrams]

I nearly lost my balance when Saiyaka pulled me into a headlock, I quickly tried to catch my balance as my arms flaied around in he air. Shinzou couldnt help but laugh at me as she nearly flatened me quicker than he did.
"Well it seems I know who is in charge of this relationship," Shinzou, or rather my father said laughing.
"Well its not always this one sided," I said as I wiggled around in Saiyaka's arm.
"Yeah sure it isnt, you just keep on thinking that. It was the same way with your mother and me, I may have been the demon but she was the boss," he said still laughing quite hard.
Despite what happened at first, this little family argument seemed to put itself out. I dunno how, it got pretty bad at first there. But it seemed that this Shinzou was actually my father. Though he looked different from what I remembered, the smile on saw on his face seemed to be the same one I saw on his face the day before he died...or left I should say.

[Isunamaru]

landing on the ground i started another massacre with Reaver....the humans were still afraid of me and they were starting to stop reacting...it seems that in the short time i had been here they had grown too scared to move when they saw me....it was starting to get boring....

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka smiled a bit, liking the fact that it seemed that Tach and his father were finally on friendly terms. "Speaking of Tach's mother...weren't we on our way to visit her before this little fued?" she asked, crossing her arms after she released her companion from her grip.

[m1abrams]

I quickly gasped for air as soon as Saiyaka let me go, I stod there for a moment breathing deeply. When Saiyaka reminded me about my mother, I nearly slapped myself for forgetting. I straitened myself out and then dusted myself off.
"Yeah your right, we should get going," I said looking over at Saiyaka.
Shinzou nodded and we were off again, it took no more than 5 minutes to get there on foot. It was for beyond the rest of the graves, and its only marker was a single stone. However all around there were flowers, both planted and ones that had been lain there. By Shinzou no doubt, he must really still love mother. I slowly approched the grave on my own, I knelt down infront of it and put a hand on the grass.
"Hey mom, sorry its been so long," I said to quite for anyone else to hear," I am sure your wondering how well I am doing, though you probably know that. Saiyaka is doing good aswell, we escaped Naraku right after you left my dream. It was Saiyaka's father who saved us, if it wasnt for him we probably wouldnt have made it. I found father, we had a little bit of a fight at first. But after awhile I realized that if you are able to forgive him than I should be too, I think things are going to be okay. Oh yeah and before I forget, Inuyasha say's hi. The guy is still as thick headed as he was back then."
Shinzou stood back away's next to Saiyaka who I had left back with him, he had his arms folded and watched as I knelt infront of the grave.
"He loved his mother very much, it hurts me to have to see him over her grave like this. Things could have been different like you said Saiyaka, but its all in the past. You are the only one who can protect him now," Shinzou said as he walked past Saiyaka and headed for me.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka clasped her hands together and closed her eyes, giving a silent prayer. "...Protect him I shall," she whispered to herself as she opened her eyes, staying back to watch them.

[m1abrams]

I slowly got to my feet again, I kept looking down at the scilent grave as a gentle wend blew some of the flower pedles away. My father walked up next to me and rested a hand on my shoulder.
"I'm truly sorry I wasnt here for you and her, I know its not much. But its all I can offer right now, you don't have to accept my appology if you dont want too," he said also looking down at the grave.
"Mother found it in her heart to forgive you, even after death she still loves you as the man you once were those many years ago. However I cannot forgive so easily, when mother died her suffering in this world ended. But mine continued, its going to take alot more than just saying you are sorry for me to forgive you," I said the wind rippling through my kimono.
"So then you still do not trust me," Shinzou said looking over at me.
"I trust you, but only that you will keep your word and not go back into hiding. You have yet to release your demon aura yet again, so technicly you are still hidding," I said noticing the lack of his demonic aura.
"Nothing escapes you son," Shinzou said with a laugh.
With that a stronger wind picked up, Shinzou closed his eyes and lowered his head. And with that the barrier he used to keep his demoic aura contained broke. The wind lasted for no more than a few moments, but when it stopped. His demoic aura was hard to miss, it was even a little over powering for me. But I was glad he owned up to his part of the bargin, he really was my father.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka watched in awe as she, even in her human form, could feel the aura. She couldn't feel exactly how strong it was, but just feeling it slightly was proof enough that he was a strong demon. If a human could feel the aura of a demon, that demon was most definately strong.

Smiling a little, she headed over towards the grave of Tach's mother and knelt beside of it, folding her hands together. "I wish that I could have known you the way that your son did," she told the grave. "I'll be sure to keep an eye over him and protect him to the best of my abilities, even if he doesn't need it," she whispered, bowing to show respect.

[m1abrams]

I smiled and watched as Saiyaka payed her respects to my mother, she truly was the only one I ever would have taken here. I wouldnt even have taken Inuyasha, despite the fact he has been my friend for such a long time. Saiyaka was a person that I could trust, that I could share everything with. Thats why I was going to spend the rest of my life with her, becuase she was the only one who truly could understand me.

Shinzou looked down at Saiyaka, then back at the way I was looking at her. He knew that we were together becuase I told him before when I didnt know he was my father, know he had a better idea of how much I liked her.
"So Tach, you have asked her to marry you right," Shinzou whispered in my ear so Saiyaka could not hear.
"Is this really the time to be talking about that," I blurted out.
"Of course it is, you havnt had a chance to tell me how you have been doing these past 50 some off years," Shinzou said slapping me hard on the back.
"Maybe I will tell you a little later," I said rubbing my back where he had slapped me rather hard.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka stood back up and looked towards the two of them. There was a sad smile on her face, but she tried her best not to let it show. If she had the choice, she would probably be crying. For some reason, the fact that a woman such as Tach's mother had to be killed in such a brutal way made her heart ache. She didn't know his mother personally, but it still hurt to think that she was dead.

[m1abrams]

"Tach as soon as you two are done you can find me at the house," Shinzou said turning around to walk off.
"We are done, you can wa..."
Before I could finish my sentance, Shinzou litterally dissapeared. I was amazed at how fast he was now that he wasnt holding himself back anymore, if I had tried to attack him before than I would have more than likely been beated even futher.
"Well, he is fast," I said looking around again to see if it was just a trick," well I guess we should get going."
I looked over at Saiyaka, but she had a sad look on her face. I reached over and cupped her chin with my hand, I stroked her cheek with my thumb.
"Whats the matter, you look sad," I asked a little concerned.

[The Lost Angel]

Spike jumped towards Naraku.He seemed to hover a bit then he started to grow wings."Youve killed my Mother,Father,Brothers and Sisters"he said in a really angry voice."Now is my chance to wreak my REVENGE!"he said and unsheathed his sword and flew over to him and the demon he was riding on.He attacked the demon but it quickly dodged him.And tryed to fly away but i flew in front of it.I struck again but this time we hit eachother.I flew to the ground hitting it hard my wings feathers got badly burnt and i had all kinds of cut,scratches,and bruises all over me.The demon apparently looked like it was dead but Naraku however wasnt.

[Chibi-chan]

"It's not fair," she whispered to him, refusing to cry as she felt tears well up in her eyes. "Somebody like your mother...She shouldn't have been killed in such a way! She should have been able to live!"

[m1abrams]

"Hey now, there is no need for tears now. You have shed enough of your own, you don't need to shed tears on my mother's behalf. Besides she wouldnt want to see you cry," I said with a small smile on my face trying to calm Saiyaka down.
I wrapped my arms around Saiyaka, holding her tightly. She was shedding tears for my mother, though she never knew her she was crying for her. I didnt want to see her cry like that, and I am sure mother wouldnt ither.
"She is not allways far off, she has been with me every day of my life. Right here," I said putting my hand over my heart," So for you to shed tears for her, would be pointless. Becuase she is still allive within me."

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka wrapped her arms around Tach, closing her eyes and kissing him on the cheek. "Yes, you're right," she said softly after a while as she let her tears disolved from her face. "She's always with you if you never forget about her, right?"

[Chibi-chan]

Meep! Guess what my computer did AGAIN!!!

[m1abrams]

"Right, every time I think of her, she is there with me," I said resting my head ontop of Saiyaka's.
Back at Shinzou's house, Taro and Senshi both awaited there father very paciantly. They both had some very eurgant news for Shinzou. When he finally did appear infront of the house, rather suddenly wich scared a few people around him. Taro and Senshi both poped their heads up and bolted towards there father. They leaped into his arms and both of them started to sob.
"Father look what happened, is there something wrong with us" Senshi screamed frantically.
What Shinzou saw did not surprise him in the least, the signiture dog ears were atop Taro and Senshi's head. When Shinzou had created the barrier to hide his demon power's, he also put one around the boys, not only hiding who they were from the surrounding people, but from them as well. Shinzou set them down gently and patted them both on the head and smiled.
"Well boys I have alot of explaining to do, but I can reasure you know that there is nothing wrong. Those ears are perfectly normal for half demons," Shinzou said trying to relax them.
"Half demons, we're...demons," Taro asked surprised as he whipped his tears away.

[Chibi-chan]

"Well," Saiyaka said after a moment, taking him by the hand and slowly removing herself from his embrace. "Shall we be going?" she asked.

[Isunamaru]

i watched as the dog-demon from the theme park get injured trying to kill the demon with the human....i unsheathed Reaver and let my anger fly....i'd been an outcast all my life, hated, despised for what i was....from those weaker than me...everyone turned to me when my eyes turned red and i began to move unpredictably slaying everything with zeal..."HUMANS.....YOU SHALL BREATH YOUR LAST ON THIS DAY!" and charging i started killing with my hands and claws...Reaver was sheathed and my claws easily ripped through the humans....

[m1abrams]

"Yeah, I am sure that Shinzou is waiting for us," I said with a nod.
I was about to just start walking off when I got a brilliant idea, I didnt need to walk. I could jump if I really wanted to, or run fast enough to get there even faster. I smirked for a moment and looked over at Saiyaka who was still in her human form. I quickly scoped her up, probably surprising the heck out of her.
"Hold on Saiyaka, I am going all out for this one," I said all ready to get running.
I hunched down for a second and then jumped into the air, I flew over the entire grave yard before I came down again. When I hit the ground I immediatly started running as fast as I could, doging trees and rocks as I went.
"I havn't run like this in forever, it feels great to get back up to speed," I said ejoying myself quite abit.
Back at the house, Shinzou had taken Taro and Senshi inside and explained almost the whole situation to them. For young kids it was surprising that they were understood as much as they did.
"So your really a demon, and our mother was a human. Wich makes us half breeds, right?" Senshi asked going over what Shinzou had explained.
"Yeah thats about it," Shinzou said scratching the back of his head and laughing.
"And Tach, your his father too," Taro asked.
"Yes Taro thats right, wich makes him your big half brother," Shinzou said turning his head slightly catching wind of my aura approching.

[The Lost Angel]

Spike pictured a very happy memory of his parents and siblings he was the oldest of them all."Like i said i will KILL YOU"i said and my eyes were practically on fire but i still was bleeding bad."You have made my family suffer and now i will make YOU FEEL THE PAIN ME AND MY FAMILY RECIEVED"he said ripped of a piece of the arm part of his shirt.There were three scras down his arm and they started to glow a very dark black.When three black streaks shot out a demon came out of nowhere and tackled him which caused him to miss the special blast.A big building exploded due to his black attack.After that tackle he was pretty weak and could barely fight.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka wrapped her arms around his neck, laughing some as he ran at top speed to get back to Shinzou's house. "I didn't know you were so quick!" she told him, hanging on tightly to him, afraid that she might fall.

[Isunamaru]

umm....watching some sort of blast come out off of the dog-demons arm (spike) i watched him get tackled by another demon......using my claws i cleared of the last of the humans...and watched as the demon beat up the dog-demon (spike).....he was badly injured so i decided to go on another killing spree! killing of the demons that had attempted to protected the human was almost amusing as they had seen what had happened to their human counterparts and they were somewhat afraid.....i was enjoying their attempts to hurt me as it made the battles more interesting....

[The Lost Angel]

"Stupid Demon"he barely was standing holding his sword."Now that its out of the way i will KILL THAT THING"he said pointing his sword at Naraku and it started growing longer and longer by the second.He started fly again but one of the mere humans attacked him.He barely had flinched and he narrowed his eyes toward the human."I will not kill you with my blade..."he said coldly."For you are not good enough"he said and lunged at him with his claws and slashed him in half.

[Red Dragon]

Inuka saw the other two demons go after the humans and Naraku. She went after Naraku but she had the blood lust rising with each step. Looking at the demon as he distroyed the humans and back to the other as they fought Naraku. Her eyes glinted in the flasing of the helpless humans swords. She lunged at Naraku but he disappeared in a burst of miasma which hurled out of view. She looked up at the sun, it was hight noon. "Now I know your secret, bastard." she said to herself. The humans were being led by a lesser demon from what she saw. He looked like just another human, but with her nose he was as different as night and day. She rushed at him and beheaded him in one swipe.

[m1abrams]

"Quick huh, well how about this," I said getting a little cocky.
I picked up the pace by quite a bit and blew threw the center of the village at top speed. The villagers moved to the side as quickly they could as I weaved in and out of the crowds and top speed. But when things got a little congested I made a bit of a detour and jumped onto the roofs of the buildings. Running from hut to hut making quite the racket as I went.
"Oh yeah, I'm to fast to catch," I boasted as my house approched ever quicker.
Taro and Senshi poked their heads around Shinzou and caught sight of me as I ran towards the house, villagers scattering as I jumped down onto the road again. I jumped into the air and litterly flew into the house, nearly knocking Taro and Senshi over as I did. I skidded to a hault on the floor and looked back at a not very impresses Shinzou.
"Nobody likes a show off," he grumbled pearing up at me.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka looked at Tach's father when he said this and smirked a little, shaking her head. "That's not completely true!" she stated, laughing as she ruffled Tach's hair up.

[Isunamaru]

(ya know what...we should have the characters introduce themselves soon...its getting old referring to them as the dog-demon, etc.)
watching the dog-demon (spike) slice the human in half i watched as the human who had been protected by these humans and demons flee into the inner castle...."foolish human, only sparing that which is unavoidable!" i muttered and started cutting my way through the humans and demons to the door....

[Red Dragon]

(I agree, we should me intro's in the castle. K?)
Inuka followed him her eyes glowing from the preditor within and her white hair and tail blowing in the wind.

[The Lost Angel]

(Ok then we will i dont know how but i guess we could)
Spike flew up through a window but barely made it.There was a demon in the little room and a few moments after Naraku came in the room."You cant ecsape me"he said walking towards him but the demon got in the way."Hiding behind your little pets"he taunted him.The demon snarled and charged at him but luckily he dodged and countered the demons attack but it didnt die for this one was alot stronger than the rest of narakus Demons.

[m1abrams]

"Come on now, after that dissplay earlier you cannot tell me you werent showing off," I said with my hair all messed up.
"I was mearly getting used to have my full power back, I wasnt showing off," Shinzou said crossing his arms and looking to the side.
"Yeah sure," I said with a sigh.
Taro and Senshi looked a little confused at what to do at first, they were just told that I was their big brother, or half brother at least. They may have been taking it extreamly well at first, but now they were getting a little overwhelmed.
"Excuse me mr Tach," Senshi said getting to his feet.
"Yeah what is it," I asked looking down at him.
"Is it true you are our big brother," he asked me.
Well I just about fell on my *** when he asked me that, I shot my gaze to Shinzou who was now sipping some tea. He gave me a nod, I just growled at him. Why was he going around telling them this now. I looked back at Senshi, and then was surprised by another thing, both him and Taro had dog ears. Like mine and Inuyasha's, they were half demons.
"Uhh, well I guess I am your big brother," I said a little in shock.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka giggled a little, wondering why Tach was so very nervous about telling his half siblings that he was their elder brother. "You guess?" she asked softly to him, elbowing him in the ribs gently.

[Isunamaru]

meh....unsheathing Reaver i looked into the room before leaping in....cautious i watched as a 2 demons fought...."looks like the human is mine" i muttered as i walked toward it (naraku) slowly sheathing Reaver "i want to have the pleasure of killing you with my claws human" i said loud enough for everyone in the room to hear....one of the demons leapt at me and with a slash beheaded it....and continued on my path towards the human....

[m1abrams]

(OOC: I searched around to find Inuyasha's fathers name, untill now I called him Inu-dady. But I found it, its Inu no Taishou. Or thats probably the most official one so far, its still undetermined, but there are no others so I thought I would just use this)

"Well hey I havnt done this big brother bit for quite some time now," I said laughing.
"What do you mean you havn't done it in awhile?" Shinzou asked me slightly confused by what I meant.
"Sorry, when I say that I am reffering to Inuyasha. He has always been like a little brother to me" I said looking back over at Shinzou.
"Inuyasha, you don't mean the dog generals son," Shinzou asked me rather surprised.
"You can refer to him by name you know, its not like a sin to speak his name. Hell even I called him by name the one time I met him, all you ever called him was General. And to think of it he only referred to you as Captain, what was up with that. You were both really stupid when you acted like that," I said giving Shinzou an odd look.
A wooden bowl came flying through the air and hit me in the side of the head and I fell over sideways. Shinzou was still in a throwing pose when he grumbled at me.
"Dont ever speak of General Taishou in such a demeaning manner," Shinzou yelled quite riled up by what I said.

[Chibi-chan]

(( Lol! ))

Saiyaka blinked and hunched down, looking at Tach and poking the side of his head. "You have to think when you oppen your mouth, there, Turbo!" she stated, shaking her head some. "If he was under the command of Inuyasha's father, it's not very usual to call each other by name!"

[Isunamaru]

the human stared at the window and leapt out, calling out a name, maybe kagura? whatever...he'd die anyways.....

[The Lost Angel]

The demon knocked me back almost out the window and sneak attacked the other demon.But luckly he grabbed his sword and it stretched from him and imbedded itself in the demons head.There it finally died after he hit it with his sword.

[m1abrams]

"Yeah sure, I can buy that," I said a little dazed on the ground.
"Inu no Taishou and me were friends yes, we trusted eachother with out lives on the battlefield untill the day I left his ranks. He was the only man who ever knew what I was planning," Shinzou said sounding quite proud about serving under him.
"Yeah but you were Inu no Taishou's Captain of the Guard, its hard to beleive someone like him would just break apart his ranks becuase of a family matter," I said a little unsure of his story.
"You'll learn some day what I mean," Shinzou said sitting back down.
"Sure I will," I said righting myself.
"Maybe when you are the captain of the guard of an entire army you will have a new respect for what I am talking about," Shinzou said looking away from me.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka smirked some and looked at Tach, playfully pinching his cheecks gently. "Aww...I can't see my wittle Tach going off and and being a captain of the guard to any army!" she laughed. "I don't think he would be up for such a thing!"

[Red Dragon]

"No!" Inuka cried trying to follow Naraku. "Kagura" she wispered to the wind. She turned to be barrled over by one of Naraku's lesser demonic minions. The wolfish thing bit her in the shoulder and took her to the ground. "Get off to wretch" she growled at it. She was bleeding but she was still more than at match for it. It's blood wetted Defenders sheen turning it crimson. She glanced at the other two demons. "I sappose we should introduce ourselves, since we all seem to be in this together." she said cleaning off her blade.

[Isunamaru]

turning away from the window "i'm Azus...." i growled.....i was still on my guard in case this demon was trying pull some sort of trick on me....

[m1abrams]

"What makes you think I couldnt, I bet if I really wanted to I could command an army," I said a little cocky.
"Is that so, than why dont we see about that," Shinzou said with a semi evil look on his face.
I looked at my father, the look in his eyes made me worry a little. He had something up his sleave, but how he hadnt left since he...let out his powers.
"Father how many soldiers did you have loyal to you still when you left Inu no Taishou's ranks," I asked a little weary of what his answer might be.
"About 5,000 of our best men were still loyal to me an General Taishou. How many of them are still allive I dunno, but all of them were very loyal and strong dog demons," Shinzou said with an even more sinister look on his face.
"You didn't, you have called them here somehow havn't you," I asked him now very worried about the whole situation.
"You guess correct, when I released my demonic aura, not only did it make my presance aware to those who hunt me, but too what remains of General Taishou's army. They should all be here in a matter of day's," Shinzou said with a satisfied look on his face.
"Your planning on re-creating his army, with the creation of Inu no Taishou's army. The west saw many years of battle, but his army proved to be so mighty. It even defeated the great armies of Hyoga, back then it was much larger. Over 100,000 strong, 5,000 is nothing compared to 100,000. But its more than enough to role over the west once again a re-claim the lands that have been taken by other demons over the years," I said both shocked and nervous about this.
"Don't look so nervous son, I'm sure you have always wanted the chance to play soldier," Shinzou said with a smile on his face.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka burst out laughing and she shook her head at Tach. "Ah, Tach, my love...you really should learn how to hold that tounge of yours!" she giggled as she wrapped her arms around him. "You really should not be cocky the way you are!"

[The Lost Angel]

I jumped out of the window still wounded."....My name is Spike"i said a little grogy.I transformed back to my normal form."And who are you"he said looking at the girl demon and sheathing his blade.

[m1abrams]

(OOC: Okay, I am confusing myself but here we go. I looked at old Japanese military rank structor. It consists of Generals, Captains, and Lieutenits and then everyone else is a soldier. I will try and make this as to date as possible, sorry if I mess up)

"Well I ain't cocky no more, my father is actually offering me a position as Captain of the Guard of the demon generals army," I said my eyes quivering with fear of all things.
"Son you look scared at the proposition, does it really worry you that much," Shinzou said laughing at me.
"Do you realize what you are asking me, I have absolutly no experiance in commanding an army. I dont even know the rank structor, hell I dont know any commands or anything. I couldnt do it, not alone anyways," I said really nervous.
"Don't worry about it, I will teach you. And if you are so concerned about doing this alone, than why don't you just turn to your lieutenit for support," Shinzou said getting to his feet.
"My lieutenit, who do you mean," I asked watching him as he walked towards his room.
"What do you mean who, she is sitting right next to you," Shinzou said with a smile as he walked into his room and shut the door.
I turned my head and looked at Saiyaka, I was a little lost and alot scared right now. I really didnt know how to command and army, and my father was asking me to. 5,000 men, how was I going to pull this off.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka's eyes widened as she stared after Shinzou, her mouth hanging open as she tried to find words. Now she looked just as worried as Tach was. Instead of words, a whimper escaped her mouth, and she looked to Tach. "You got me into this!" she whispered, shaking her head, then falsely soluted. "Lieutenet Saiyaka, reporting for duty...sir?" she asked, then whimpered again.

[Red Dragon]

"I'm Inuka. What might you guys be? You look like halfdemons, but from what I've been through..." she said sheathing Defender. "I'm a full demon, with a human heart." she added looking around the room. She thought she heard something coming from below them, someone that needed help.

[m1abrams]

"What do you mean I got you into this, it was his idea not mine," I shouted still very nervous about the whole deal.
"Both of you just need to calm down, I will put you both through the proper training before you have to command anyone," Shinzou said walking out of his room with a host of different types of armor with him.
"What do you have a whole armory back there or what," I asked sarcastically looking at the armor he had.
"Something like that," Shinzou said laying the armor down infront of us.
"So is this ours or what," I asked picking up a thing of black chest armor.
"Of course, before you can play the part. You have to look that part," Shinzou said quite enjoying the entire thing.
"Sorry but armor is not exactly my style," I said dropping it.
"Wear the armor or wear my fist," Shinzou grumbled making a fist.
"Oh yes of course sir, forgive me for questioning your authority," I said waiving my hands around to avoid being hit.
Taro and Senshi had been quite this whole time, the watched as I frantically put the armor on to avoid my being hit over the head by my father. The both shook their heads and sighed.
"Hard to belive he is a demon isnt it," Taro said still shaking his head.
"Yes very hard to belive indeed," Senshi agreed also shaking his head.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka stared for the longest time at the armor and poked at it, raising her brow as she looked to Shinzou. "...No way," she stated, crossing her arms and shaking her head. "There is no way that I'm going to wear armor! Just like Tach said, it goes for me...Armor isn't my style!" she announced. Then she grinned. "You can't threaten me with your fist, though!" she laughed. At least...she hoped that he couldn't!

[The Lost Angel]

Spike also heard the noise and drew his sword and walked down the stairs."What is that?"he asked wondering if they knew.

[Red Dragon]

"You guys. Did you hear that? Sounds like someones down there." she said listening harder, it was definatly coming from the floor. "I think some one's in the dungeon." she said starting for the stairs. She stopped, and turned around. "How did you two get here anyway, you were both in that other era."

[m1abrams]

"I wouldnt try either, she may not look like much but when she gets mad she can really hurt," I said patting her on the back playfully.
"I dont doubt that, from some of the bruises I have seen on you I mean," Shinzou siad laughing quite loudly.
I had finished putting on some of the armor, really just the armor for my chest, hips...groin obviously and my shoulders. Thats all I really needed, I got to my feet and checked it out. It was heavy, wich made it feel like it would weigh me down in battle, and not help me in any other way. Shinzou got to his feet and walked up to me, he tugged on the armor around the chest and shoulder area to make sure it fit.
"Good it fits, now take it off and go chop some wood," Shinzou order turning away from me.
I fell to the ground again, compleatly taken off guard by that.
"What do you mean chop wood, how is that going to help me be a better commander," I shouted getting back up.
"Its not, I'm just low on fire wood. Now go out there and chop before I kick you out there," Shinzou said taking a seat.

[Red Dragon]

Climbing over to the stairway that had partially caved in she used her claws to cling to the wall to make a ledge for the others, she could have easily flown over on her own but she was sure that the other two couldn't make the jump, unless they to could fly.

[theThinWhiteDuke]

I headed out of the dungeon with some difficultly. Part of the doorway had caved in. "Stupid castle. He should take better care of it." I kicked at the rubble and some fell loose. The rest of the doorway did'nt fall down so I knew it was safe to slash the rest down. My finger nails grew into claws and I eaisly sent the rest of the junk in my way flying. I emerged form the cold damp dungeons and started up the stairs which were also in ruin. Senseing something up ahead I proceded with caution.

[Red Dragon]

Inuka smelled somthing coming up the stairs. She gave the others a signal to hide for an ambush and flew up in to the shadows.

[theThinWhiteDuke]

Just then I heard a movement. It came from just a bit farther up the stairs. I got ready to attack , making my claws a bit longer and pulling out a dagger ,and proceded. up the stairs with a quiet grace.

[Red Dragon]

Her Defender was out as she dropped on to the unknown person. "Spike, help me hold it!" she shouted. THe person was thrasing about trying to get its dagger and claws in to Inuka's flesh.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka laughed some and shook her head a little bit. "I'll go and help you chop the wood there, Tach!" she chirped getting to her feet. She was quite happy that the armor wasn't going to be an issue with her. She hated to wear armor almost as much as she despised Naraku.

[m1abrams]

(OOC: Hey there theThinWhiteDuke, I noticed you didnt sign up for this RPG in the sign up thread. Just letting you know you should do that before you continue, its just so we know who you are and what your character is like. If you could write down your characters name and profile in the sighn up thread that would be easier for us so we know who you are)

"No its okay, I got it," I said a little anoyed with Shinzou at the moment.
I proceeded to shed the armor and then go outside, Shinzou mearly pointed at the huge pile of un cut wood and the axe that lay notched into a log. I grumbled again and walked up the axe and gripped the handle. When I pulled it out of the log I flung it over the shoulder and looked at the pile.
"Figures," I said looking at all the wood.
It was a little while later and I had started with the wood, I had made only a dent in the massive pile and considering it was a hot summer day I was sweating so bad I had to take my shirt off. My father sat on the porch quietly and watched me work, actuall he was more concerned about the scars I had on my back and chest. The ones left behind by Naraku's spider legs. They never did heal up correctly becuase of the spines that were on the legs, they were more or less a constand reminder of the debt I owed Naraku. I debt I intended to pay back ten fold.
"Saiyaka," Shinzou asked," Where did Tach gets those scars from?"

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka saw the scar, and she really didn't want to tell Shinzou what it was from. She doubted that she could lie to Tach's father, because the demon could probably tell if she was lying or not. However, reguardless of whether he could or not didn't matter to her. She lied all the same, at least halfway lied. "...A spider demon did it," she stated, crossing her arms and looking down at the ground.

[Isunamaru]

leaving the room and heading out onto the stairs i unsheathed Reaver in case of ambush....watching Inuka get attacked by a demon i walked up and kicked it off her.....it looked at me surprised at first then pulling out a knife it charged me....dropping onto my knee i punched it in the stomach and before it crumpled caught it's throat.....

[m1abrams]

"A spider demon you say, must have been one powerful spider to do something like that to my son," Shinzou said looking back and me as I choped wood.
I swung again at a thing of wood, splitting it in two the two halfs fell to the ground and I moved them to the side. I whiped the sweat off my forhead and rested against the axe for a moment. It had to be one of those hot a muggy days didnt it.
"Damd I hate chors like these," I said taking a deep breath.
"Tach, why don't you take a break and have some water," Shinzou called out to me.
"Sure thing, I am just going to shop a few more peices," I said picking the axe back up.

[theThinWhiteDuke]

I was franticaly clawing at the half-demon's(?) hands that held onto my throat. Seeing he had strong grip on me I just hung on, digging my claws into his wrist making them grow longer so they would sink farther in. "Let go of me now." I said sternly through clenched teeth, with a bit of difficulty. I did not wish to get bloody or kill anybody that was not much of a threat to me at the moment.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka let out a soft sigh and nodded a little bit. "A very strong spider demon," she murmured quitely, closing her eyes. Lying was something that she was good at, but she really hated to do it all the time. It didn't seem that Shinzou knew she was lying, but she knew that he could tell. However, she would stick with her lie. It was better than having him try and hunt Naraku down, possibly killing him. She still needed to find a way to get her father back, after all.

[Red Dragon]

Rising to her feet Inuka watched the two. "Thanks, I owe you one." she said to Azus. "What are you doing here in Narakus castle?" she growled at the stranger. She looked around just in case there were more.

[m1abrams]

The axe swung down one last time and that was the end of the wood pile. It was cut and stacked, I threw the axe to the side and whiped the sweat off my forhead.
"Finally I'm done, there was so much wood I am going to be having dreams about it now," I said walking back towards the house.
Shinzou who was still on the porch was now joined by Taro and Senshi, they each had a large glass of water and had been watching me for some time now. There little dog ears perked up when I walked up to the porch and sat down.
"Wow you got that done fast," Taro said putting his glass down.
"Not fast enough," I said moving my arm around because it was aching.
"I bet you are a great fighter if you can cut that much hard wood in only an hour," Senshi said hinting towards something.
"You can say that," I said trying not to be too cocky about it, it never seemed to help when I was cocky.
"Can you show us," Taro practically screamed.
I sighed and put my head down for a moment, I was tired enough as it is now these two wanted me to show them how to fight.
"Why don't you let Tach rest for awhile you two, he had been working hard," Shinzou said pearing down at the two.

(OOC: Dude I dont know why the hell you posted that but its highly inapropriate and inmature. If you have something to say about someone like that than just keep it to yourself and stop messing up other peoples topics and RPG's with your personal vandeta's. I have said enough here now and I am contacting Ayumi about this post)

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka laughed some and looked at Tach. Smiling she got behind him and placed her hands on his shoulders, beginning to give him a nice massage. "You deserve this," she whispered to him before kissing his cheek. She then looked at Tach's brothers and rolled her eyes a little. "If you want to know how to fight, then I would be happy to teach you in Tach's place for the time being," she suggested. She just hoped that they didn't say something like 'You're a girl! You can't teach us!' or she would get rather angery.

[m1abrams]

Taro and Senshi looked at eachother and then back at Saiyaka, then gave a quick snif. They were starting to enjoy the perks of being a half demon, now they could smell people and be able to tell if they were human or demon. But when the sniffed Saiyaka, all they got was human.
"But your a human, how can a human teach a demon to be a better fighter," Taro asked inoccently.
Before Taro could get and answer I gave him a swift blow to the head, he fell over sideways as I stod over him a vein poping out of my forhead. Senshi looked over at Taro who was twitching on the ground, he gulped and then smiled back up at me.
"That will teach ya you little brat, you should be more respectful to her from now on," I said sitting back down.
"Yes..si..sir," Taro said still lying on the ground.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka's eye twitched a little and she bonked Tach over the head. "Hey, don't hit your brother!" she scolded. Though she was angery about Taro saying such a thing, she didn't really like Tach hitting somebody younger than him. Well, maybe except for Shippo and Kokoru...

[m1abrams]

"And this is what I get for trying to help," I said rubbing the large bump on my head.
Shinzou started to laugh quite loudly, as did Taro who also though me being pounded in the head was just about the most hilarious thing in the world. I just kept rubbing my head and glaring over at the two.
"Keep laughing you two and see what happens," I said reaching over and putting my shirt back on.
I straitened my shirt out and then picked up my sword that I had placed on the porch. I tucked it into my shash and adjusted it, I glared back over at Taro and Senshi.
"You want to see me fight, than watch closely," I said turning and walked off.
I walked off into the small area that the wood pile once was, I looked around for something to use at a target. Then I sighted an old tree, it was really wide and quite tall.
"This will do nicely," I said with a bit of a smile.
I drew out my sword and pointed the blade at the base of the tree, I was getting all cocky again even though I knew it was not going to end well. I moved my blade out to my side and focused, I drew an imaginary line across the base of the tree and focus all of my energy on the edge of my blade. I waited untill the right moment to swing, my blade glided through the air and stopped once it reached my other side. I felt quite satisfied with the results so I sheathed my blade. The massive tree infront of me started to fall over. A clean slice perfectly strait on its base. A large cloud of dust billowed up as the tree hit the ground.
"Well that went better than even I expected," I said smiling.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka decided to have a little bit of fun with Tach by teasing him. "So..." she began, smirking in sort of a demi-evil way. "What you're trying to tell them...is that fighting is about cutting down trees in a fancy way?" she asked, laughing a little.

[m1abrams]

"No, what I am showing them is that...uh...that you need to uh..."
Yeah I was lost for words at the moment, damd I got caught showing off yet again. Shinzou thought it was the most hilarious thing in the word next to me getting clunked on the head. He was practically rolling around on the porch with laugher, Taro and Senshi on the other hand were compleatly entralled by my demonstration.
"That was great, do it again," Senshi yelled out in excitment.
"Atleast someone appreciates it," I said sending Shinzou a nasty glare.
Shinzou shot a glare back at me at the same time, he was still having trouble keeping a strai face though. Apparently he found alot of amusment in me getting picked on.
"Why don't you whip that smirk off your face and come fight me," I said my ear twitching slightly.
"After how I beat you before, you want to try your luck again then," Shinzou said getting to his feet.
"I wasnt exactlly concentrating then," I said a vein poping out on my forhead.
"Fine then, a match it is," Shinzou said walking towards me.
"Arent you going to get a weapon," I asked as he passed me.
"I allready have one," he said raising his hand a bearing his claws.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka let out a sigh as she looked at Tach, shaking her head a little in disappointment. "Oh, Tach," she muttered softly, looking to Taro and Senshi. "Your brothers are watching, you know...Are ya sure you want to embarrass yourself in front of them?" she asked in a sing-song voice, smirking a little bit. She knew how the outcome was going to be, and it was going to be the same as it had been back at the grave.

[m1abrams]

"Will you not jinx me before I even get started," I yelled over to Saiyaka a little anoyed," Besides are you suppose to be on my side."
"Come on Tach, it seems she has allready beaten you in the war on words. What kind of challenge will this be for me," Shinzou said taking a stance.
"Oh don't worry, Saiyaka may be to smart for me to win a fight with her. But I am plently smart enough to kick your sorry butt," I said also taking a stand and grabbing the handle of my sword.
"Lets see it then," Shinzou said really enjoying this.
I gave an evil smile and with that I dissapeared, Shinzou looked a little surprised for a moment. He didnt think I was that fast, but he quickly found me again.
"Too slow again son," Shinzou said turning around to catch me.
When he turned around he expected me to be there, and I was, sword at the ready. He quickly threw his fist at me, but I somehow saw this comming and used my free hand to pushed off on his fist. I swung my leg around and kicked him strait in the side of the head, he didnt have much time to realize his error when I sent him flying into the stack of wood. I landed on the ground and put my sword away realizing I wasnt going to need it.
"What was that old man, I'm too slow for ya am I," I said arrogently.

[Chibi-chan]

"Hey, I'm just calling it how I saw it back when you first fought him!" Saiyaka called out, throwing her arms up in submission when Tach lightly scolded her. When the fight commenced, however, her eyes wided a little. "Wow...Don't get too cocky, though, Tach!" she warned.

[m1abrams]

"Don't worry, I got this all under control," I said with a happy grin on my face.
Before I could get another breath out of my body, Shinzou shot out of the pile of wood and punched me right in the stumache. That hurt, I swear I could hear all the organs in my body being slammed around. I flew for the air for a second and then caught myself before I hit the ground, I skidded to a hault but didnt leave a second open for another attack. I ran forward again and tried to clip him in the jaw, but he grabbed my hand before I could get that far.
"Did you call me an old man," he said evily.
"Uh...yeah," I said taking a gulp.
"Don't ever call me old," Shinzou said litterally throwing me into the air.
I flew into the air, this was almost to good to be true. He had actually done what I was about to do anyways, jump into the air. I reached behind my and pulled out one of my smoke bombs. I had been saving this one for a special occasion, I lit the fuse and let it fall to Shinzou's feet. He looked down at the inocent looking ball, that was untill it exploded in his face consuming him by smoke.
"Allright Saiyaka, run like hell and cover your ears," I said pulling out two of my grenades a very evil smile on my face.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka let out a whimper and jumped to her feet, running off as far as her human speed would allow her to. "Gah...Has to be bombs, doesn't it?!" she grumbled to herself as she curled into a little ball and covered her ears with her hands, going into the featle position. "I hate bombs, I hate bombs..."

[m1abrams]

Well I was being rather stupid right now, I was to damd blinded about beating my father that I was using bombs while Saiyaka was around. Man I am dumb, but even though I am thinking this to myself. I continued to light the fuses, I threw the bombs one at a time at the cloud of smoke. And from smoke it turned to a fire ball, the explosion rocked through the village. Scaring just about everyone there, they all looked at the fire ball as it rose into the sky then dissapeared. I landed on the ground again and looked into the smoke left behind.
"You still allive in there pop," I yelled in sarcastically.
When I didnt get an answer at first I thought maybe he was just playing possom, but I couldnt help but let my guard down and wander closer to the clearing smoke.
"Hey are you allright in there, father," I shouted as I walked ever closer becoming more concerned.
When I took my last step, I felt a slight breaze and then a sharp pain to the back of my neck. I reached up to grab at my neck but becamse light headed and fell to the ground before I could do much about it. Shizou pulled his hands back and looked down at me as I sat on the ground trying to figure out what just happened.
"Well that was amusing, what on earth were those things," Shinzou asked as he bent down and helped me up.
"They were bombs, I use black power to cause an explosion. Some times it kills my enemies, and some times it just pisses them off even futher," I said rubbing the back of my neck still confused what had just happened.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka hadn't bothered to come out from where she was hidding, still curled up and her hands still over her ears. She refused to remove her hands, not wanting to hear the explosions. She did smell the smoke that came from them, though, and that even got her whimpering again.

[m1abrams]

"How did...how did you do that. You avoided the explosion and beat me like it was nothing," I said a little shocked.
"It was simple really, I'm just better than you. Now I sugjest you go back to your girl, she seems to have been scared by that blast of yours," Shinzou said giving me a pat on the pack and then walking off.
"Saiyaka, oh man what have I done," I said running off to find her.
When I did I ran to her side and knelt down, she was all curled up in a ball from the blast. Wow I was an idiot, well I deserved any punishment that she was going to dish out.
"Saiyaka are you allright, I'm really sorry about that. I should never have set off those bombs, I'm such an idiot," I said resting a hand on her shoulder.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka looked up at Tach, uncurling from the position she was in. "Tach," she said softly, then glared. "SIT!" she hissed, gripping the stone in her hand and making him do a faceplant in front of her. "Why bombs?!" she asked, looking down at him.

[m1abrams]

I tried my hardest to try and fight the sit order, but of course it was alot stronger than I was and I found myself eating dirt. Curse that darn Kokoru, if she hadnt decided to go an copy the magic used in Inuyasha's necklace this would never of happened. Taro and Senshi ran up to my side and looked down at me, I had made quite the face print in the ground.
"Wow, how did you do that. Even after he fought father like that, all you had to do was say sit and he went face first into the ground," Taro said looking at Saiyaka.
"I wonder if it would work for us," Senshi said looking at Taro.
"Yeah lets try it...Sit...sit...SIT!!!"
After about 3 or 4 times of them saying it without any luck, they decided it might work of they jumped on my back and yelled it out. Each time they stomped on me a look of pure pain flew onto my face. When they were done and quite assured they could not tell me to sit like Saiyaka did, they just sat there and pouted.
"Dang, and I was so sure we would be able to do it," Taro said folding his arms.
I slowly picked my face up out of the dirt and looked at Saiyaka, my eye twitched in conjunction with my left ear.
"I'm starting to think your a bad influence on them," I grumbled.

[theThinWhiteDuke]

That voice sounded oddly familiar. I tried to see who it was but with the position that I was in it was hopeless. "My buisness here is mine and mine alone, and you know we might be beter conversation pals if I could be put down." I heard something moving around and the flutter of hair so I assumed that that one who spoke was looking to see if there were more coming. " No need to look around like that either. I come alone." As I say this I decided that I best take my nails out of the guy's arm. I had a better chance of getting down that way.

[Isunamaru]

hmm...the demon was trying to hurt me with his claws? how foolish, tightening my grip on his throat i tossed him into the wall "harmless" i muttered and calmly turned my back to continue down the stairs....

[theThinWhiteDuke]

Not a good thing to do. Rememering this I turned around to satisfy my curoisty frist. "Inuka? Is that you?..... Wow. I have'nt seen you in ages!" I happily remembered the times me and Inuka had shared. Then I remembered that guy. "So is he a friend of yours or something? I can't do anything if he is." I nodded my head toward the stairs then I turned around. "Hey! Where do think you are going? You have'nt even introduced yourself yet."

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka had a look of horror on her face when the two half demons started to stomp on Tach. When they were done and Tach looked like he was a train wreck, she whimpered. "I'm so sorry!" she whined, helping him up and hugging him. Just as she did this, cat ears and a cat tail popped out from her body and she blinked some, noticing this. "...Looks like he changed my form again," she whispered, her tail twitching slightly. Then she groaned softly as she knew that cat and dog demons really didn't get along. She just hoped that the two boys wouldn't really act like idiotic little pups.

[m1abrams]

I sat there and blinked at the change for a moment, I was a tad bit confused...no I was alot bit confused. Why the hell did she just change into a cat demon...a cat demon of all things.
"Okay, this is new," Shinzou said looking over at Saiyaka.
"Is this how she normally looks," Taro asked getting up close.
"Uhhh..."
Well I couldnt say much at the moment, I was still really confused at this point. I didnt know why or how this was happening, that was untill I remembered about Naraku...damd and just when I was starting to forget about the guy. He must have absorbed a cat demon, and part of its aura and powers had been transferred to Saiyaka. Atleast thats what I think was happening.
"She's a cat demon now...a cat," Senshi said his ears perking up and an evil espression running across his face.
"Dont even think about it," I yelled at Senshi noticing the look on his face.
Senshi slunk down and quickly moved away, I watched him carefully as he slunk behind father. My eye twitched a few times before I looked back at Saiyaka.
"Was it him do you think," I asked knowing she would know what I meant.

[Red Dragon]

Inuka's eyes widened. "You know me?" she asked. "Azus, don't hurt this one... I think she might know some thing that might help us." she said to the retreating demon. She looked over her own wound that was healing nicely, 'damn demon' she thought. It had caught her off guard, the last mistake it had made was thinking that is stood a chance against her. Her mistake ws letting Naraku get out alive.

She glanced out the window to find the humans united again, there were more that kept poring in through the gates. "Azus, we have company." she said watching them try and climb the tower to get to them. She spotted Inuyasha and the others amidst them, they seemed to be surrounded.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka looked at Tach and gave a nod, sighing some. "Of course it was him!" she grumbled, crossing her arms. "Who else would it be?" she questioned, wanting to know if Tach had a better explaination.

[m1abrams]

"Tach, care to explain to me whats going on," Shinzou asked walking up behind me.
I folded my arms and growled, I was rather anoyed by the fact that I couldnt run off and tare his head right off. He is always finding a way to piss me off, though its not like Saiyaka's change was for the worse.
"Well if it helps any, cat ears look good on you," I said trying to improve the situation.
Taro and Senshi glared up at me, I scrathced the back of my head and laughed a little at myself.

Far away from where we were, Naraku who had just gotten away from Inuka, Inuyasha and the others sat inside a large building. His anger was at its peake becuase he was ousted from his castle.
"My lord," a man said kneeling infront of the shroud that hid Naraku.
"What is it," Naraku snapped.
"I'm sorry to disturb you lord Naraku, but it appears there is a large formation of soldiers heading towards a small village just to the south of here," the man said shaking slightly.
"Soldiers, that is nothing of concern to me," Naraku said not worried in the least.
"But my lord, these soldiers, many of them are not human," the man said looking up at Naraku.
"Not human, than they are demons. How interesting, do their numbers pose a serious threat," Naraku asked his curiosity peaked.
"When your last demon wasps returned my lord, they counted over 5,000...and still growing," the man said nervously.

[The Lost Angel]

"Who are the demons being surrounded"i asked inuka who was looking at them.When she didnt reply i turned to the demon."My name is Spike"i said and extended my hand towards the unknown demon(thinwhiteduke).

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka let out a soft sigh as Tach said this, and she reached up to her head, feeling her ears. "I guess that it's better than the time when he decided to absorb a boar demon," she grumbled, looking back at the tail that was lazily swaying back and forth behind her.

[m1abrams]

"Oh yeah, he has so got to die now," I said cringing at the thought of her looking like a bore.
"Would someone please tell me who!" Shinzou finally shouted in my ear.
I turned around and looked at my father, he really was confused and wanted to know who on earth we were taking about. I sighed and turned around to face him, best tell him now.
"His name is Naraku, he is the demon we have been after for some time now. He holds a human boy named Kohaku captive and we have been trying to release him. So far we have only had a few encounters with him he enjoys sending out others to do his dirty work," I said thinking back on what had happened thus far.
"He wouldnt happen to be a spider demon would he," Shinzou asked.
"Not really, he is made up of many demons. I guess a spider demon was the most powerful one he ever obsorbed becuase he can take the form of a spider and can attack using large spider legs," I explained to him.
"I see, and where does this Naraku call home," Shinzou asked even more interested now.
"I don't know, I would imagine he keeps himself well hidden untill he wants to be seen. He is extreamly powerful, he is more than a handful for me and Inuyasha," I said becoming a little depressed by thinking about it.

[theThinWhiteDuke]

I turned to Inuka. "You don't remember me do you?" Not waiting for a answer I turned around and took Spike's hand. "The name is Naku. Nice to meet you Spike. .....Sorry bout earlier, but in this place you can never be to careful." Then I noticed that my claws were still out so I pulled them back in.

[Chibi-chan]

Saiyaka let out a depressed sort of sigh and nodded some in agreement with Tach. She knew where Naraku dwelled, but didn't speak up. She was greatful that Tach didn't tell his father that she knew where he was, either. Closing her eyes and letting out another sigh, she wrapped her cat tail around her waist, her ears drooping slightly. This was quite a depressing topic that she really didn't want to touch. She knew that she would have to say where the castle was sooner or later.

[m1abrams]

"I think thats enough of this then," Shinzou said turning around.
"Enough of what," I asked.
"This whole topic seems to be getting people are gloomy, why dont we go inside and get something to eat. That I think would cheer everyone up a bit," he said in a cheery mood once again.
Strange, his mood seemed to change with the blink of an eye. I dont know how he was able to do that but I wish I could, I would just love to change my mood at the moment. I got to my feet and watched him as he steped up onto the porch and then went inside, he didnt seem at all like a demon. He was more human than anything, if it wasnt for his demonic aura I wouldnt have been able to tell the difference. I turned around and reached my hand out to help up Saiyaka, but before I could help her up I felt a stinging on the back of my neck. I reached around and slapped at it thinking it was a misquito, when I looked at my hand there was a flea there.
"I knew I should have resisted the temptation," the flea said weakly.
"Ahh, it spoke," I said dropping it to the ground.
"Of course I can speak, I am a demon, a flea demon," the flea said getting to his feet again.
"A flea demon, what on earth are you doing here," I asked kneeling down to try and have something of a face to face chat.
"My name is Myoga and I bring news to you of Master Inuyasha," Myoga said bowing.

"'Master Inuyasha'?!" Saiyaka asked, then burst out laughing. "Who would call that moron a 'master' of anything?" she muttered, rolling her eyes. "Anyway...What did Inuyasha do this time to make you seek us out? Is he in a battle he can't possibly win?" she suggested, getting to her feet and sighing.

"Well... No. Wait! Yes! You're that cat demon I used to play with by the stream!" she said. "Before, Seshomaru and Inuyasha's dad found me." she added remembering the day she was abandoned. She still carried the scars from Fathers claws when he had thought she was an enemy sent to kill his heirs. His attack had been terrible and great, just as was Inuyasha'a Scar of the Wind is. He had taken pity on her little bleeding form and raised her as his own.
She clenched her fist and turned. She saw Inuyasha and Kagome fighting the humans and some demons that had escaped from Naraku's prison. She dashed past Naku and jumped on to the ledge. Naku looked down at the sharp and long drop that Inuka would take if she fell. Inuka ignored the fall and crouched down so Naku could ride piggy back down to the ground. She knew that Naku may not be able to fly, but she was more than enough of a fistful on the ground as is. Naku climbed on, just like she had when they were children. She thought she felt Spike jump on as well. She hovered just outside the window and gazed at Azus. She wasn't sure if he would survive the fall or if he could fly at all. She figured that if he couldn't she could hold his arms and fly him down beneath her.

(OOC: I'm finding it really hard to find correct Japanese names, I always have to search around the net and Hi-jack the first name I see that fits...there has got to be an easier way to do this)

"Master Inuyasha has engaged in battle with forces of Naraku," Myoga said a little anoyed with Saiyaka's commet.
"With Naraku...when," I asked quite surprised.
"Just the other day, they made there way to a castle and chased him out. That other female demon and two other demon's assisted in the battle, but it turned into something of a blood bath when many humans who stood in their way were killed," Myoga said sitting down.
"A blood bath, was Inuyasha the one who..."
"Of course not, Master Inuyasha would never do such a thing and you of all people should know that," Myoga shouted bouncing up and down.
"No there is a familiar shout," Shinzou said front just in the outside doorway of the house.
Myoga turned his head and looked at my father in the door way, it took him a moment to reckognize him but once he payed attention to the aura in the air he knew who it was.
"No, it can't be...Captain Mazaki you are allive," Myoga said bowing his head.

Spike thought to 'himself why am i on her back i can fly'and as he thought this his wings grow back and he satrted to hover back towards Azus."Do you need a ride or are you going to be able to make it"he said looking at him.

Inuka noticed Spike hovering by her with a new set of wings. "Well that makes things simpler" she said to him. Naku was digging her nails in to Inuka's skin, had she not anticipated his she would have dropped her. "Naku, nails please" she said looking over her shoulder. "Spike, if you think you can get Azus, it would make my life just a little easier." she said turning to Spike.
