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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wGSptBiqi

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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITwwG5YKxs
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D3gXLQyRh
"Yes!" I growled.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1soepdUV49
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJBbbdxfFN
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1oNmoHOnc
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRM8ctuEMT
"Please, please!" I whined.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VrboMEd3o
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb6kG0rs5h
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSL65JWafX
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iVhBM5s3q
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD0IchzpQ9
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD29tZcQmP
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYekJe04Sz9
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT3VDizm3Z
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBD9K8ru7b
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPASGgsV0M
"Oi! Asuna, what brings you this far north onna?" he said stopping right in front of me.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay8kOzkHzU
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxBWtG851W
"Prince Kouga." I inclined my head.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfhlXpJh9A
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasxWCb0IzU
"Answer the question Inu." He said irritated.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t3XQIKojX
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXswwtN6Ww2
"I am searching for a foreign inu that did not present himself to my father. Have you heard or seen this youkai?" I asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb49I3DccI
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQQs01Ye0L
"Hai! He is at the dens. Ayame' is entertaining him now." He answered.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBroN9mFZ7
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtu3GYC5G9
"Prince Kouga, I ask that I attend to your lovely mate."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZpXZXEDfF
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWnqtH3NCX
"Hai. What are you planning Ice Princess?" he asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1M60MttrW
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaEq6J3r5y
"I will respect your house ookami." I said through clenched teeth.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjayKG2ngOs
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJq2fr2FWx
"Fine follow me then." He said taking off in a run.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHa5CvyUf6
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQJHmUph5h
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYp2GPo5Nt
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZDDdV2dDQ
"Lady Asuna." Ayame bowed.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeTdJuBEkQ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFXH2tbx8r
"Princess." I greeted through clenched teeth.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqrx0y1mTk
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSY6HPEI3A
"This is Lord Katashi. He is a distant cousin to my clan. He hails from the continent." She explained.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDECfM96Gp5
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM5prdkDsT
I stared him down and smirked at my soon to be prey.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDvg2FJoPd
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh33meI4Tu3
"Hegang, Manchuria actually but who really cares." He piped in.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP53gD9Zp8i
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq9VRq40bA
"You are ookami then?" I asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC10hbyQOnO
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bBqDu7P6n
"Distantly. Mostly inu but come you knew that already Lady Asuna." He answered haughtily.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4fmDdX5oQ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdeqcAAwk4
"You will finish the battle vermin!" I snarled.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmRi7tyf0R
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTrZ7hOgtm
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92BbALJthQ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIDbQTz2tK
"No Kouga. I would very much like to put this arrogant bitch in her place." Katashi answered.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEvJop69KS
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCLRp1kSZz
"You could try." I taunted.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAiknjDlJG
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk3nVfmZ7o
Katashi rushed me and managed to knock me down. I growled very loudly and jumped to my feet.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFRfN7VHCy
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTtEOTnxKU
"Rules Lady." He said756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiiewEA9rk
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZbaW7Ls7H
"Rules?" I asked surprised.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU7Ip7aiAG
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OH3wYbCkg
"None of our poisons. This will be a contest of strength and speed." He stated.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWemuRQ478l
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa48VpSlA2
"What is the point in that?" I asked in shock.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMBHMrHtOH
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBaMmMHkmt
"Well I can settle this little vendetta you have and I can go on about my business." He said smirking dangerously.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX7dFZMJ13
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVnyMvmnIb
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ffKBHP9JP
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mCz8zignn
"What you see as my insults, I see as nothing." He answered.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoESVSTk8v5
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJXfTXjNF0
"You came upon me remember?" I growled.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ1QzkApFo
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrgwGiPgSn
"How could I forget?" he answered thickly.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu9JBdQkDk
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg5F0rDSqt
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpUajh6WUR
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw62D6vooVA
"What angers you more Lady that I caught you or I did not kiss your feet?" he said sarcastically.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoSsKwxIJi
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceaXPffWPz
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR6SZTA8qh
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmxvY2sF0h
"Bitch!" he snarled.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPME9bJZrE
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBxZmNxuKI
"Quit stating the obvious." I taunted.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHdRy6meej
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6x5Ar2qJq
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvq21gfIyy
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3W4tORiIl
"I want you." He snarled at me.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNScSPlxcBT
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcdzORoAIs
"Want me how cur?" I growled.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2bjyMmiFl
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFPZNYvaZg
"Withering under me screaming my name as you submit to me."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05bZ3DYvrV
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzZSljjF28
"NEVER." I barked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg3862sJg8
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rXzKrD8f3
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3VzDm1rhB
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbGtKPB5ih
"ENOUGH!" Kouga yelled.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBTKZzuC9w
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfumLJRZtU
Katashi and I both stared at the ookami and I stepped back and bowed formally.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSl6Evj9Ql
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXrPMRvqmp
"I apologize Prince Kouga. I will take my leave of you and your guest. Have the courage to finish this cur." I muttered.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHmOIBeMK2
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePzrGE6Nno
"Oh I will finish it bitch." He whispered back.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB79832ufxt
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV38qO4aaKX
"Lady Asuna, I suggest you head back to the West." Kouga commanded.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1vzMpeXtz
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMjg0enwA5
"At once." I said turning on my heel to leave.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfKCfHJbxf
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaUE3wi4p4
"I shall call upon you my Lady to finish what I started." Katashi called after me.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOsDfSOCsv
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaXWivbPmm
"See that you do filth. I look forward to gutting you." I answered.
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq7kfxrDvm
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkGhJ301le
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ym1iosb5p
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuOtOZ4ppu
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoQamQDHG7
"Damn." I muttered under my breath.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4XyX7febT
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzZgntWvXC
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSlulMHuV5
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgpYw2p3Ca
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUe7lrZTJA
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19aAr5aZdE
I walked through the gates and yelled for Jaken.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR8Qy1Crja
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngYYAtbA8b
"Yes milady?" he came before prostrate.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Djh4c5GD7
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4r4yNcyAF
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGsw3xodLJ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCHukk97ZN
"Yes Lady Asuna. What else may I do for you?" He squeaked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ6sfoYjes
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRUmaIiwwT
"You may do as you were bid. Be away with you toad." I said irritated.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p5s6zijZb
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3EfvP22KI
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFpRItZgcY
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCBQ64f7tt
"Mayu!" I called for my maid servant.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV6QBomADr
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzTc2fH2xv
"Hai my Lady!" she came to my side and bowed.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMayira0KLJ

"Hai my lady."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iikXiQj0Z
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MfFsPgghY
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEW1wm4niX
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12IVleotUt
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlADUUwMmwM
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpR5RILQ2Q
"Yes my lady." She said bowing and backing away.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGowwMpGhwO
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTo6qh0s0h
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3wqzsYGkx
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wViAwKyjZ
"We are having guests?" he asked arching a silver brow.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaNHDNmAaC

I bowed to him and straightened and nodded.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZmK6gNyFU
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOUKH4II60
"What did you do?" my mother asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypJe0DBw3y
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCib43NgzHw
"Why are you dressed in state daughter?" he asked his curiosity piqued.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs55mpPqOfu
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDmGVO4z7N
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTqlecLJUN
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFSrGY7JQM
"How exactly did you challenge him Asuna?" mother asked narrowing her eyes.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpktpCENzhV
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30pITObwb9
"I told him I would enjoy gutting him." I said bluntly.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWpc6YZjsP

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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfaEAMxNLo
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfl9CH0NIy
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U39FH6RMq

"Sesshomaru, NO!" mother started.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkcuNlTRB6

My father could tell that Mother was speaking to me through telepathy and he narrowed his citrine eyes.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhjkTcgX3L

"Hai my Lord." I called out.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdMORDz1i1
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0fdOyPiFG
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraMFHXcaaz
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfYLNXmVL1
"Your mother is beyond furious. I will not be sleeping well this evening." He said.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU68XtlDjzq

"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvHJI24eX5

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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YYeGSOtrv

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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oQkEoudpm
