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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI43niyrvm

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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE17up4NUZP
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9mXQSsAkW
"Yes!" I growled.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmIA3mmT2K
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4RyMDmFxI
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk08Jj8B1F
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SkGh8fibP
"Please, please!" I whined.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfu93BMJjh
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F6JpSIQKb
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY5XONfAD3
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h4RkDXbQu
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcjRaXOPWD
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xovPkFQs4
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1uitRwvKY
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneBCje35uJ
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsdMRcci5h
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HyBFqHqE6
"Oi! Asuna, what brings you this far north onna?" he said stopping right in front of me.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYV4KPDEfW
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWKBObhLT9
"Prince Kouga." I inclined my head.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV2JowA0On
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLDckz1CMp
"Answer the question Inu." He said irritated.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8TSBfvy4m
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDMP4BXjkC
"I am searching for a foreign inu that did not present himself to my father. Have you heard or seen this youkai?" I asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnAcIZfiOR
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLEU3V5pkx
"Hai! He is at the dens. Ayame' is entertaining him now." He answered.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonJyUkaNjl
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbUP83RyHt
"Prince Kouga, I ask that I attend to your lovely mate."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSlrbKkqvH
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2piCZoDiyb
"Hai. What are you planning Ice Princess?" he asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdVsDSzap7
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ubyjkAXrR
"I will respect your house ookami." I said through clenched teeth.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Ff1Q4OPO
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L11WsMrxZ
"Fine follow me then." He said taking off in a run.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu1cemCT0x
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnNGtF8AUr
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd7mhxKvWG
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILDAKynDc8
"Lady Asuna." Ayame bowed.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAPsHYGgf0
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zyVl3P7ak
"Princess." I greeted through clenched teeth.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IZs8BNUje
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStK2oBjQTT
"This is Lord Katashi. He is a distant cousin to my clan. He hails from the continent." She explained.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Y7QLiHwg
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqZjd9epYQ
I stared him down and smirked at my soon to be prey.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS59VJD4ad
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwQiLgeZSv
"Hegang, Manchuria actually but who really cares." He piped in.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqclzlbJ7EK
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgNNhYWYY5
"You are ookami then?" I asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEpjxYHVdS
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tVDz0UXwk
"Distantly. Mostly inu but come you knew that already Lady Asuna." He answered haughtily.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdH3S0pkEp
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjQFoEEOGR
"You will finish the battle vermin!" I snarled.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdY1vcLlvu
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWcEnAk7x7
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSo679dQEC
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBloK4zPPq
"No Kouga. I would very much like to put this arrogant bitch in her place." Katashi answered.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS3NK7jOXa
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgoA9YFG0w
"You could try." I taunted.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WIZxhFSu4
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevMjI8kzci
Katashi rushed me and managed to knock me down. I growled very loudly and jumped to my feet.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoIhmOoZPs
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBIqow3Cz8
"Rules Lady." He said739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrxHnNk862
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFcuSuXygs
"Rules?" I asked surprised.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnjOZ3DsVC
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnaJj8cmTS
"None of our poisons. This will be a contest of strength and speed." He stated.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EAkLfRMUh
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwaHCaOiCF
"What is the point in that?" I asked in shock.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXIGfQ1oG8
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt583ZVsUIi
"Well I can settle this little vendetta you have and I can go on about my business." He said smirking dangerously.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQrCwNH5vK
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxxZFGPNlN
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6ap0R9tCf
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2KoZYftV5
"What you see as my insults, I see as nothing." He answered.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT4EL5WXMB
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFlwChYd65
"You came upon me remember?" I growled.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dfk3AYddd
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr0EEzM1ga
"How could I forget?" he answered thickly.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanpBT37tA2
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbBHgxJrXU
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7nqEtbDj6
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6YnF8ih9K
"What angers you more Lady that I caught you or I did not kiss your feet?" he said sarcastically.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mcr6Qqje4
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI1XK9kgrv
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzhdc6nUsV
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCp5EeXrf0
"Bitch!" he snarled.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW9FgvfStf
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaIVotmuFi
"Quit stating the obvious." I taunted.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IboLvvTdJ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFrqHrmtdQ
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliwoppnUPb
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5rLolA1Kl
"I want you." He snarled at me.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtiZ5DSCaj
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwNRpDxbGP
"Want me how cur?" I growled.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM21Wm5foDM
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUINluIXQDn
"Withering under me screaming my name as you submit to me."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56IBG6JQ9r
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsZ2SEB7pw
"NEVER." I barked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6mjlFjIbN
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCy8RjYxaD
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeBtCAf58u
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0mJrYCNSn
"ENOUGH!" Kouga yelled.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34eDbGtti9
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBjL22c5Vm
Katashi and I both stared at the ookami and I stepped back and bowed formally.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ74EtL6dRy
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbdkmSpgUN
"I apologize Prince Kouga. I will take my leave of you and your guest. Have the courage to finish this cur." I muttered.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIuPbC0rVW
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPZg54QAsv
"Oh I will finish it bitch." He whispered back.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq98DqBGKmM
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPJmaFuXHQ
"Lady Asuna, I suggest you head back to the West." Kouga commanded.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj41jOLB5Ia
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iBGNJ0LvS
"At once." I said turning on my heel to leave.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv8nRGDJXk
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk5hZSdk1c
"I shall call upon you my Lady to finish what I started." Katashi called after me.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ38vAH96B
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq6b69vHs6
"See that you do filth. I look forward to gutting you." I answered.
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi7dDg5X57
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwcTX4ecmE
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI4Pf0A8Ki
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKz1pvR1Rh
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPsPb26COH
"Damn." I muttered under my breath.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMhlSi5IQo
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkY0VHpBSg
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80QGqp8fq5
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHInHfT1GZh
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyzjjfdzaS
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1u0VJurWh
I walked through the gates and yelled for Jaken.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f7RrIwfBQ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNQK21WPUl
"Yes milady?" he came before prostrate.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgz6iWPU3P
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8MYhV030E
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EseUICfQ5
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJYe4vr1pL
"Yes Lady Asuna. What else may I do for you?" He squeaked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMBFbUpb4I
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLtU7eERMJ
"You may do as you were bid. Be away with you toad." I said irritated.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQAaCla1EU
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPObliMpD0S
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH0CFeJbkl

"Mayu!" I called for my maid servant.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1OixEmLUm
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa7b8GIoD6
"Hai my Lady!" she came to my side and bowed.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt02E7h20r

"Hai my lady."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5JKncU73X
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxSgqTKzPp
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO11M2siChP
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlN3vZpNPc
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgG34x8krz
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5WyhByeHg
"Yes my lady." She said bowing and backing away.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQzfIwgbqz
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG1pWcD2u5
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2NJ1y0giy
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmplRaI7aOC
"We are having guests?" he asked arching a silver brow.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIjL7Q7tcp

I bowed to him and straightened and nodded.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShhMzsQDHO
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmW4lvRDcG
"What did you do?" my mother asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwzAnJ8Vb9
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCGduFckee
"Why are you dressed in state daughter?" he asked his curiosity piqued.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjnuPKCT81
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWEQrT17az
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBBebnuzJ2
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoFaxnAKFm
"How exactly did you challenge him Asuna?" mother asked narrowing her eyes.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZRK6g4G9X
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSAEn763ct
"I told him I would enjoy gutting him." I said bluntly.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBtf8wH72e

739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph0xXAzUWT
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtVM200U7O
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUYySPDHbZ
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAqrKOamcK

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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp188VXgzn

"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Yw1Cu3H9

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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLqRJ0jfu7

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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7dyNvzJLb
