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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kkp6MZGAx

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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j6irkzKPj
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2anQ7BSd9
"Yes!" I growled.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zjBq26DwW
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk10F8WN1M
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96vaSy4gEd
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Reg8rbKQC
"Please, please!" I whined.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsT2HEWb7z
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcSPke6JbY
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAroNDrQsD8
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q7xP6PwTo
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVDvXTy0QA
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpmg3CHZvw
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBFfPrY7VM
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJe2ih5sxl
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpcEIgR2OJ
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNOniOIeS4
"Oi! Asuna, what brings you this far north onna?" he said stopping right in front of me.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE9vIw9LVu
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW88c5JJ5z
"Prince Kouga." I inclined my head.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhvuPsZ9Tt
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDBUjX0nfs
"Answer the question Inu." He said irritated.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqW5wTzpq4
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU0dj3PFn7
"I am searching for a foreign inu that did not present himself to my father. Have you heard or seen this youkai?" I asked.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLRcQd2aOb
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsm4fAbgPv
"Hai! He is at the dens. Ayame' is entertaining him now." He answered.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A7LMPNjKq
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEej6ajpYW2
"Prince Kouga, I ask that I attend to your lovely mate."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgwNuVjyQI
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMivM4zChJR
"Hai. What are you planning Ice Princess?" he asked.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMgpTkMi69
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcMkwGQKAa
"I will respect your house ookami." I said through clenched teeth.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX9RVGZ9cl
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8tzxTLII4
"Fine follow me then." He said taking off in a run.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mbTiLyWqV
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IchbFNcui
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gzPFPsqZi
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIR6TFmzgN
"Lady Asuna." Ayame bowed.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyBVOUbYx6
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2epg5wW3wk
"Princess." I greeted through clenched teeth.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt4g1AouBK
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQPKuTyEWi
"This is Lord Katashi. He is a distant cousin to my clan. He hails from the continent." She explained.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU01X0VFDRr
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEdRRUYW7I
I stared him down and smirked at my soon to be prey.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D2uSHOTid
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZfqrKAU4D
"Hegang, Manchuria actually but who really cares." He piped in.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy9Uigyj9r
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9GV36iLwd
"You are ookami then?" I asked.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kSlJ3IYec
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q99M2s5Xb
"Distantly. Mostly inu but come you knew that already Lady Asuna." He answered haughtily.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8iHkwSYpP
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt9HJ46k2p
"You will finish the battle vermin!" I snarled.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hi33DLa25
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp5hTjvlIC
"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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU2q6NTCXe
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G53mYzRW4
"No Kouga. I would very much like to put this arrogant bitch in her place." Katashi answered.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSOyhmBewm
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9XgvAho0b
"You could try." I taunted.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0XNKoRZ6i
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySEojfkQXJ
Katashi rushed me and managed to knock me down. I growled very loudly and jumped to my feet.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ylcFaN5gN
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3lnPRBa5W
"Rules Lady." He said762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XskYiPD8z
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ460KjqLeT
"Rules?" I asked surprised.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRH7oVup9T
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwv9PP4MEP
"None of our poisons. This will be a contest of strength and speed." He stated.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDMfNQgTvy
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU6MEicqbE
"What is the point in that?" I asked in shock.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5TNkPV4k1
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEIW6yMctq
"Well I can settle this little vendetta you have and I can go on about my business." He said smirking dangerously.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFsiTO9Kis
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI3HG3L6aa
"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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrC19s69Ir
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtjhg3dwAm
"What you see as my insults, I see as nothing." He answered.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYjJpZgnDQ
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML5K773pl1
"You came upon me remember?" I growled.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlxTe0GXTD
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwreyHCfxi
"How could I forget?" he answered thickly.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkSTV9xByM
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5FXYgnpai
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXi5wEz3SA
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D2rNWWCCE
"What angers you more Lady that I caught you or I did not kiss your feet?" he said sarcastically.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z55hR1Y3f
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gfjewlH1E
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKLBrDEbyd
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw39gjLsXw
"Bitch!" he snarled.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHTNfXT6aa
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSY0PULt28
"Quit stating the obvious." I taunted.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxGgz6rXbN
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ9UDzLb0b
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbOQNvi07P
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzP5sIpZfG
"I want you." He snarled at me.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUKTjWLLIi
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAVDhr5eP5
"Want me how cur?" I growled.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgEQ4zWhBW
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL2zKK9IIu
"Withering under me screaming my name as you submit to me."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3JgLB8bcx
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotTWkKmy2l
"NEVER." I barked.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Lty5XVts
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVM6PGmtZ9
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yDQilaGjB
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDOrsZAqR0
"ENOUGH!" Kouga yelled.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVeJObspY1
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WCNRshqKo
Katashi and I both stared at the ookami and I stepped back and bowed formally.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCXZex8ahl
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6gv5I1AXy
"I apologize Prince Kouga. I will take my leave of you and your guest. Have the courage to finish this cur." I muttered.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY69OYt9VV5
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Yp60OqAF
"Oh I will finish it bitch." He whispered back.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcKCBHIuux
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgSXlCHJdI
"Lady Asuna, I suggest you head back to the West." Kouga commanded.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuQDPb33yp
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtQuRaVvDO
"At once." I said turning on my heel to leave.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxktd1lHIL
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtbP39iGsy
"I shall call upon you my Lady to finish what I started." Katashi called after me.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoBwbRLFeW
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5kupqtJNC
"See that you do filth. I look forward to gutting you." I answered.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4qNA8hnVF
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qy1v7cyW5
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bNdAHXbdq
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkn2MBHNXO
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQs3lyw2Ig
"Damn." I muttered under my breath.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSZ8aF4qVy
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBstaAb2jD
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL123ZHe7m
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpqxFUepqC
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauj1EGLfwQ
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTmjSwXjwG
I walked through the gates and yelled for Jaken.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEdW5u8pTw
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyGUvlPhlF
"Yes milady?" he came before prostrate.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31uJUPSGgR
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbFaBmsmDf
"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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPzDRa2Bwb
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9a6nv8SyV
"Yes Lady Asuna. What else may I do for you?" He squeaked.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TZITI9kpx
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvemNTNnV8
"You may do as you were bid. Be away with you toad." I said irritated.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUztp63B1O
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW2MvzjKDo
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Zxg7Dust
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyFaq7NMIs
"Mayu!" I called for my maid servant.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCXDB6CZFA
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1AgwKdJHa
"Hai my Lady!" she came to my side and bowed.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRItctSnO8w
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTJqYLmGip

"Hai my lady."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fZ1DPC61b
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOsioWggnb
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPafAtljBi
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3tWtgVX4i
"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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK9HdUwUgb
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp1ExHHPAD
"Yes my lady." She said bowing and backing away.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV3XJVTJ8x
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLFoi9i0te
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQKv6sSNxy
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9YbYzykhO
"We are having guests?" he asked arching a silver brow.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMHQOEQk9C
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYHTdiIKX4
I bowed to him and straightened and nodded.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtwlqPCnbK
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlzqDIHGZK
"What did you do?" my mother asked.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmG9KjWcJm
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1c9j8Bpae
"Why are you dressed in state daughter?" he asked his curiosity piqued.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXAEKKgJvr
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8daLTma8M
"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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxGYmmsaaS
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS69WtT8MZ2
"How exactly did you challenge him Asuna?" mother asked narrowing her eyes.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aPuQspuGf
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn2ZG9AT67
"I told him I would enjoy gutting him." I said bluntly.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48wszUGiHf
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMrRRP7BMY
"Why would you start something with another taiyouki!" she seethed.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1V9PFTLpV
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI46FZCz5R
"Mother, I am not a newborn pup! I can and will defend my honor how I see fit!" I growled.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6MOzbWUpy
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6PgVzvVmk
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhM05NjKyM
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q5GLW5MWv
"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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xINBhhajI
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7sFjCI0RP
"Sesshomaru, NO!" mother started.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s140kieQm

"Augusta, I will brook no argument. I have spoken and that is that." He stated.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqwShMfbeA

My father could tell that Mother was speaking to me through telepathy and he narrowed his citrine eyes.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mxh0OHHgJ

"Hai my Lord." I called out.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGclwcNYT3b

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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXiHNLxHNd
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40wBkfYToT
"Your mother is beyond furious. I will not be sleeping well this evening." He said.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7neEpODwHZ

"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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BRkragqeq

My eyes widened as I knew the name. If these Inu were who I thought they were then they were indeed very powerful.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRziJch7OF0

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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xZzdQ8MQ8

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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsWVCKUFuy
