The North Then the West (Chapter 2)
I had to sleep. I hated that one weakness that all creatures required. Youkai could go many days without normal sleep but eventually even we needed to find somewhere to bed down and pass out. I had learned Katashi's scent like it was almost my own. I was definitely on his trail and would soon meet up with him. I had found a large Kunugi tree and settled beneath it. Katashi's scent filled my senses as I passed into slumber.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLsRqP0B9z

I was beneath the tree and I was not alone. I felt warm breath on my neck that moved to the shell of my delicately pointed ear. A tongue darted out and licked along the shell. Lips gently pulled my ear lobe into a hot waiting mouth, teeth gently nibbled. I moaned but still I did not move. My breathing became quicker as those lips moved slowly down the side of my neck to the pulse point that met at that juncture between shoulder and neck. My breath started coming out as panting. I waited for the biting sensation but was startled when feather light kisses were placed instead. I felt a hand slip inside my haori and cup my breast, it was being gently massaged and its weight felt. I felt a claw ever so lightly dragged across the nipple. I gasped in pleasure. By the Kami I was getting hot so very quickly. My haori was ripped open forcefully and a head bent down and captured that same nipple and starting nibbling and sucking. I let out a guttural moan. I wanted to see and I could not. My senses were being assaulted and I squirmed under the ministrations. My chest was bare and attention was alternated to my other breast. My beast was just below the surface, howling but I was only being allowed to reach a certain point. Unbearable heat pooled in my nether regions and I wanted to beg for release. Expert claws inched down to my hakama and undid the ties and my obi. Deftly one hand reached in and cupped my sex. I squirmed and a whine came from me.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAroD4Zx8R1
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexiABMPVjU
"Yes!" I growled.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk1Ve35p9j
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9bBMDFOHq
I knew my eyes were crimson and my fangs had elongated. I was biting my lower lip so hard that my own blood filled my mouth. Two fingers slid into my impossibly wet and scorching center. I was neither moving nor participating and I could not figure out why. Whines and moans continued to escape my lips. My mouth was captured in a heated and demanding kiss. This was meant to dominate and illicit obedience. I actually tried to fight it. My invisible lover's tongue swept across my lower lip and demanded entrance. My rational mind did not want to grant him access but my beast was devouring it all. Our tongues were battling and I know he could taste my blood on his tongue now. I heard a growl and the fingers in my center increased in pace. A thumb was added to my clit that rubbed in circular motions. I turned my head and broke away from the kiss and snarled. Kami I needed release so bad but this phantom was stoking the fires but no more. I wanted to buck my hips hard to meet the thrust of the fingers but I could not. I felt soft hair touch my upper thighs and the fingers slipped from me. I cried out in protest. I felt a tongue flick my clit and I groaned loudly.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5acDA3hGq
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62PM8ce05T
"Please, please!" I whined.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUycIqMrtPc
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB9r82IOCc
I thought I heard a laugh but I was so far gone that I would not have cared. I felt the tongue enter me and I was sweating profusely. Moments later my clit was being sucked on and teeth dragging ever so lightly across it. It was throbbing and the tension was so tight in my body, I almost wanted to cry in utter frustration. The fingers slid back inside of me at the same time of the assault on my clit. I felt the vibrations of a growl against my center and the sensations threw me over the edge. Blood roared in my ears and I was blinded by the intensity. My whole body shook and my walls tightened and released the digits inside of me. I screamed my release and I startled myself awake.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Llu5blk3p
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdorT7ajmV1
I looked around for any signs of anyone and I was alone. The woodland creatures were making small noises but that was all. I felt wetness in my nether regions. I shuddered from the after effects of my release. My clothes were not affected and I stood up. I needed to find a spring so I could wash.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxDiwzPvLj
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEKck3eYjB
It took me a few minutes to find a small stream. I would have preferred a hot spring but I just needed to clean off the evidence of my arousal. I pondered the realism of my dream and decided that I needed a really good rut and soon. My last thoughts were of the idiot, Katashi. My eyes widened at the thought of him being my phantom lover and I scoffed at the idea. I could not deny the fact that he was a beautiful male. Looks were not everything and I would not be dominated by a foreigner or a male. I was the first female heir in recent memory and I would not be a demure bitch for anyone or anything. My father expected me to act in a similar fashion that he did, it served him well all these centuries. I removed my clothing and slipped into the cold water and lightly scrubbed my skin with my claws. Goose bumps were raised on my flesh but the water did not bother too much. I had shortened my hair in the battle with Katashi by a good twelve inches to where it came to the top of my rear. I finished my ministrations and slipped back to the shore and redressed myself. I slipped my katana back into my obi.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOtwAAiQaN
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UVlEoCYpE
I made my way through the forest in the general direction on the Northern Citadel. I was in the ookami territory. I felt certain that I would not be turned away. I knew I would not have to wait long. I never had to when I did not mask my aura and scent. The more powerful youkai could sense not only what I was but who I was; lesser youkai just knew to get the hell out of the way. I saw a funnel cloud approaching a short distance away. I stood my ground and waited for the Prince of the Ookami.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zKreh0sNo
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxQsPyoUzF
"Oi! Asuna, what brings you this far north onna?" he said stopping right in front of me.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyKgVixJNQ
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHPGzmJ8sb
"Prince Kouga." I inclined my head.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJNGs94xUl
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN0iwnGrQb
"Answer the question Inu." He said irritated.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0gtRkN4NZ
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDviCpzQumJ
"I am searching for a foreign inu that did not present himself to my father. Have you heard or seen this youkai?" I asked.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLq6NTBM91
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQQf0yUuYP
"Hai! He is at the dens. Ayame' is entertaining him now." He answered.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFT86uU9So
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtq47u9cHR
"Prince Kouga, I ask that I attend to your lovely mate."742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oSAO9DT7T
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuu9WuNY1D
"Hai. What are you planning Ice Princess?" he asked.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXMaZZBuQP
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEsc4xrX80
"I will respect your house ookami." I said through clenched teeth.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbcgTAD1BP
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7URkGdLe64
"Fine follow me then." He said taking off in a run.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mvixOm8iY
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXLdFfP9IL
I had to run in order to follow him. The Northern Citadel was actually very elaborate dens in which the ookami reigned. I was flustered and angry and wondered why my father continued to have an alliance with these beasts. My curiosity was piqued and I wanted to know why Katashi was hanging around the ookami. I was obsessed and needed to exorcise the obsession. I entered a solid rock valley. There were rooms carved out of the cliff face. It truly was a wonder but I still thought the ookami less civilized than the inu. Prince Kouga went in search of his mate. Moments later I felt that aura that I felt before. Princess Ayame and Katashi brought up the rear behind Kouga and I braced myself for any kind of altercation. The other inu stole my breath. I managed to control my reaction and stood by stoically. I managed a better look at him this time. His hair was so black it had a blue sheen to it. His eyes could be described as emeralds, ever changing. No crest adorned his forehead but his marks on his cheeks were a pale blue in color. He wore his hair loose and it spilled down his back. He had on a black silk hakama with a matching under haori. He wore an outer masculine kimono of sorts that depicted a garden with many smaller dragons. The main fabric was blood red with black, gold, and silver weaved throughout. He wore a smirk on his sensuous lips that I really would have liked to slap off of him.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxztJKhbKV7
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bnkyrQh27
"Lady Asuna." Ayame bowed.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2gR4onY3s
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd2tOz5uHH
"Princess." I greeted through clenched teeth.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5KeDmqG0v
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhojUZFSvNG
"This is Lord Katashi. He is a distant cousin to my clan. He hails from the continent." She explained.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2jW5tuVyw
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3xsqYe93z
I stared him down and smirked at my soon to be prey.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGwKcY0wHZ
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqF3ZKXUvZ
"Hegang, Manchuria actually but who really cares." He piped in.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkso2gtfaR
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuiiAp1XjJ
"You are ookami then?" I asked.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOgvaOco4N
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzui4EmCvr
"Distantly. Mostly inu but come you knew that already Lady Asuna." He answered haughtily.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKmI5mdBc9
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NNAqNSLjw
"You will finish the battle vermin!" I snarled.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzjru6ZH1j
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YSFhgr1uz
"Lady Asuna, he is a guest of the North. As much as I cannot stand dog breath, he is still a guest." Kouga stated coming between me and my prey.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZjSO1OOYT
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEAPAhjiRB
"No Kouga. I would very much like to put this arrogant bitch in her place." Katashi answered.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAHYzfK4TF
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWYPAL7gHV
"You could try." I taunted.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1wOYVeTKx
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwSHJb0aEN
Katashi rushed me and managed to knock me down. I growled very loudly and jumped to my feet.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0joAkd3Pl
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82IFJJ1YuL
"Rules Lady." He said742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGhwUReMSj
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUGfpEFXuK
"Rules?" I asked surprised.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AJ3PvkaC3
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fHvC8D719
"None of our poisons. This will be a contest of strength and speed." He stated.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaTU51BMmS
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgpMuftXVX
"What is the point in that?" I asked in shock.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9GvUJPQjj
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WgP9n9zAg
"Well I can settle this little vendetta you have and I can go on about my business." He said smirking dangerously.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwGmmjkTy9
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwfcsQtw4L
"You have the gall of traversing through Japan and do not present yourself to the Lord of the Inu? You insult his heir and trespass. Death is your only option." I seethed.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYMKg0eSAo
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyzkigFUrL
"What you see as my insults, I see as nothing." He answered.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA6xLpu4qY
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaHZYvKmT5
"You came upon me remember?" I growled.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCtmZNWWHT
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDplvdEa281
"How could I forget?" he answered thickly.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq96RI8WuIJ
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ2FNGaqgb
I realized at that moment that I had indeed met a very dangerous opponent. Ayame and Kouga stared at each other having no idea how Katashi and I met. The bastard had watched me in a weak and vulnerable moment and I could not forgive him of it.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeun3Zyo9ag
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN008SKsmt
"What angers you more Lady that I caught you or I did not kiss your feet?" he said sarcastically.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MxizKafKb
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AOcSWokaC
He had goaded me into losing my temper and I came at him with my claws. I wounded him the neck and he looked at me in surprise.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0x4fcRzSa
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj62b1ifu4G
"Bitch!" he snarled.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypagkIeJAC
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4F3GmRRES
"Quit stating the obvious." I taunted.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXEtRcFxIt
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI49WH84qw
He tackled me to the ground and I saw the looks on the two ookami faces. They were dumbfounded and their guest and I did not seem to notice them at all. Katashi straddled my hips and had his claws around my throat squeezing the breath out of me. I bucked him off of me and went for his gorgeous and arrogant face. Both he and I were going feral and Kouga actually looked concerned.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLnQGIIsB5
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOrqHc9Lk3
"I want you." He snarled at me.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmPvXzLKb9
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxMC9jaldd
"Want me how cur?" I growled.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUndJc9heJ
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSWjiUybpP
"Withering under me screaming my name as you submit to me."742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sCdFP6syk
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlraEBOEo7
"NEVER." I barked.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmiRyS0mBL
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3VsDckEHB
He grabbed my hair and pulled me to him. I snapped my fangs at him and he took the opportunity to ravage my mouth. He thrust his tongue into my mouth and swept it along my fangs. I bit his tongue and tasted the coppery essence. He groaned and continued to posses my senses until I pushed him off of me. I slashed his face and blood welled up.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E4EaBXWSE
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bvfzNYaRy
"ENOUGH!" Kouga yelled.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA8nzVGoej
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhOBmEvXbX
Katashi and I both stared at the ookami and I stepped back and bowed formally.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSvTJPEyyX
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QMNklDJB7
"I apologize Prince Kouga. I will take my leave of you and your guest. Have the courage to finish this cur." I muttered.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhJUMppQ3h
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHfiFU89DE
"Oh I will finish it bitch." He whispered back.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbuglCEeZq
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPUcFSmDne
"Lady Asuna, I suggest you head back to the West." Kouga commanded.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrwTCvj09R
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXpAXMNgby
"At once." I said turning on my heel to leave.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRaoI6IiDr
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCftac0Pp3G
"I shall call upon you my Lady to finish what I started." Katashi called after me.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOzNsTvZQC
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxR99lTVqw
"See that you do filth. I look forward to gutting you." I answered.
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8uMp6lGhL
I left the Northern Citadel and made my way back into the forest outside of it. I sat upon a large rock and pondered the turn of events. I was in trouble, very big trouble.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgjiwQSSKT
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnQWXFHLl2
I had to get back to the palace as soon as I could. Katashi was going to come after me now. I would feel better in my territory where I knew every tree and stone. I lost my temper and allowed him too close; I did not listen closely enough to my father. Katashi wanted to dominate me because I was not like every other inu bitch. I did not roll over and bare my neck for every alpha male. I had a hard time even submitting to my own sire. He usually did not require it of me but I also was raised to respect his power. I had put myself in a precarious position because of my pride.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6or1mYPpUp
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1CxWtpO1K
"Damn." I muttered under my breath.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbsg1HJdtu
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSMn6J9NYZ
Why did I have to lose my temper like Uncle Yasha? I would not succumb; I would be the master of my own world. There was no place in my life for weakness.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSEUJQn85e
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC5zGjhpF9
It took me four days to reach the Western lands from my foray into the North. I had slew several lesser youkai on the way to the palace and it helped my mood lighten.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrz840CDkc
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBrd4f5kex
I walked through the gates and yelled for Jaken.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgiElrTyyK
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjvkIQjaxf
"Yes milady?" he came before prostrate.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsooF4OH77r
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i3lFHaTBQ
"Get me all the information you can gather on the ruling youkai of Manchuria. Tell my Lord that I have returned and to expect company." I commanded.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqav1SHEJ8
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVrpQtctoe
"Yes Lady Asuna. What else may I do for you?" He squeaked.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohL2AMuscQ
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESpJxIt0Nf
"You may do as you were bid. Be away with you toad." I said irritated.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJwa6e4IpJ
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64895qG1Tk
Jaken scampered away I went to my chambers. I knew that my mother and father would soon be here to interrogate me of my actions. I shed my bloodied and dirty haori and hakama. I opted to dress as formal as possible and pulled out a kimono that was in the West's traditional colors. I pulled on my inner kimono of red silk. It was covered in Sakura blossoms, ribbons, and birds. I covered the red one with one of the whitest silk. It had the honey comb designs on the sleeves with blossoms too. I wrapped a wide red and gold obi around my waist under my breasts.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsSEaLnnUH
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGhZTDyZt0
"Mayu!" I called for my maid servant.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREws2FYKqs

"Hai my Lady!" she came to my side and bowed.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4qAeyzFxm

"Hai my lady."742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPnRn2qwAG
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo0evIycTk
She quickly grabbed traditional combs and started to pull my hair up into a very elaborate style. She also put blossoms in my hair, and greens tassels. I looked into a mirror and nodded my approval.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MAHXdIoTg
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTxX0wJfqm
"Thank you Mayu. I expect that my father and mother will be here very soon, could you please see to it that there is fresh tea?" I asked the neko.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKizOrjqyX
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T1fB88amS
"Yes my lady." She said bowing and backing away.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJhGWcYldl
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFmNMQHQKK
I knew my parents would be in shock at my formal attire. My mother would actually be elated that I would be dressing like the lady I was supposed to portray. I did not wait long. I turned around and at the shoji screen door I saw my sire's outline. There was a sharp rap on the screen before it opened and my father entered, followed closely by my mother.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JUr7zKcvn
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UbGyonqrK
"We are having guests?" he asked arching a silver brow.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNSmEaMdIh

I bowed to him and straightened and nodded.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u4DZstI5j
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJWNA314d5
"What did you do?" my mother asked.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqcPlEbaz9
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6zdFJtQ3k
"Why are you dressed in state daughter?" he asked his curiosity piqued.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7szgG0vzCF
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LZk7v2Xa0
"I challenged the inu I spoke to you both about. It turns out he is a taiyoukai from Manchuria. He is also distantly related to Princess Ayame." I informed them.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvuiPX97S9
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtbyYBSpEN
"How exactly did you challenge him Asuna?" mother asked narrowing her eyes.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX7t7aAh0Q
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kvPmtCyqo
"I told him I would enjoy gutting him." I said bluntly.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA1ajfYYAK
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Wc45p5ua

"Mother, I am not a newborn pup! I can and will defend my honor how I see fit!" I growled.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D4nSCHXOz

My father raised a single claw to silence us and we did. I could tell my mother was fuming but I refused to allow her in my mind. She was glaring daggers at me and I stared blankly in return.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yz6B7RjxQ
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdTtJogaUi
"We will receive this foreign lord when he arrives and then we shall see what happens from there. I imagine that if fighting will take place that it can be done in the arena." My father stated; matter of factly.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTHoYiLJvg
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68z26cuzcG
"Sesshomaru, NO!" mother started.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUgRdF0LcY

"Augusta, I will brook no argument. I have spoken and that is that." He stated.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYVyKpGg7a
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9aPwSZvLp
My mother knew when he spoke with finality then there would be no arguing her point.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh42jMPH34

My father could tell that Mother was speaking to me through telepathy and he narrowed his citrine eyes.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh5GTQ09yk

"Hai my Lord." I called out.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbiV3xGcpD

I could not tell if he was furious or merely annoyed. I would face whatever it was he desired and that would have to suffice. My mother hated conflict and tried with all energies to avoid it and stop it at every turn. Because of her, the West had enjoyed a very prosperous and peaceful time. At the appointed time, I made my way to my father's study and entered. He was sitting at his desk rubbing his temples.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyvMzR5ktq
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡromtPjC3f7
"Your mother is beyond furious. I will not be sleeping well this evening." He said.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeFpHSZV5B

"It is rumored that a clan of Inu with great power left Japan during your Grand Sire's early reign. This Katashi's sire was named Takeshi." He replied.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXg9kTUJol

Close to two millennia ago there had been three great clans of Inu. One had been absorbed into our own, The House of the Moon. The other had left Japan, probably to seek glory and power else where. The islands were not big enough to support too many beings of immense power. The Inu no Taisho had been almost a Kami. I went back into my father's study and went to a section on the far wall that pertained to the histories of Japan. I pulled down several scrolls and started to read. I was right about the Inu that had left Japan. There was no known whereabouts of the lost clan but I knew the current Lord of He Gang was here. I had the feeling that it was going to be a down right bloody affair with Lord Katashi. A chill went down my spine and I continued to read. I heard Jaken mumbling and I looked up.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO9uIzYdG1

The kappa turned blue in fright and I laughed. He scurried out of the study and I chuckled. I left and went to the gardens and waited.742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JEbuLd4ET
