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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoK2kjsv20

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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf3eBxnSEi
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOMTz4HqVT
"Yes!" I growled.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA3iNHAdFy
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr7cnN2TkN
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMtoxAs6jx
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoXo06utoU
"Please, please!" I whined.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO34NDD7iA
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl0DVS78zt
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mwC4SEy3N
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPRh5dyb5C
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UU24grPbk
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmXDR7Wpnr
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO2LJOsVUu

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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLUdhXuGs9
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL2l9CoAUn
"Oi! Asuna, what brings you this far north onna?" he said stopping right in front of me.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeL5AOScQZ
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg51gAcaN7
"Prince Kouga." I inclined my head.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlf6TiHrJG
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLqXDtaA78
"Answer the question Inu." He said irritated.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UwFsAjMPk
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVhV9QN2ok
"I am searching for a foreign inu that did not present himself to my father. Have you heard or seen this youkai?" I asked.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvMA1nNv1k
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlguZUK6zI
"Hai! He is at the dens. Ayame' is entertaining him now." He answered.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7b1USTsz1
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr82qkOekpF
"Prince Kouga, I ask that I attend to your lovely mate."613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z2XGiSNkX
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBB05N72KQ
"Hai. What are you planning Ice Princess?" he asked.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIEot49JcE
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdezrvvQwfU
"I will respect your house ookami." I said through clenched teeth.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GtY3d9VQW
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjGCL7jUq7
"Fine follow me then." He said taking off in a run.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWr1ZpYuAo
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIPJUI6x5K
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT3WB1Pyq5
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2nGdB3XqN
"Lady Asuna." Ayame bowed.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oLZNu0SiG
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi7ypDsyfb
"Princess." I greeted through clenched teeth.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoVYomX02f
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFsHxNyekJ
"This is Lord Katashi. He is a distant cousin to my clan. He hails from the continent." She explained.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pRt7MfWAA
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqPAVJwUCG
I stared him down and smirked at my soon to be prey.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdENIr3zKq
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0HyWFYdBC
"Hegang, Manchuria actually but who really cares." He piped in.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlyQapK5tN
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uBxzSO78w
"You are ookami then?" I asked.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvayhMzgUm
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTRyxyj3m5
"Distantly. Mostly inu but come you knew that already Lady Asuna." He answered haughtily.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsW7Z2C4uS
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTevovP3o5X
"You will finish the battle vermin!" I snarled.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3D5ir6XwD
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NwJiHQApw
"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp7kUXtjgz
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g7A87kkKO
"No Kouga. I would very much like to put this arrogant bitch in her place." Katashi answered.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KCFgv97Lj
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bUR0HTsr7
"You could try." I taunted.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qfoCJnMHy
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2YqVebKy5
Katashi rushed me and managed to knock me down. I growled very loudly and jumped to my feet.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMpWw8L49t
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxjVyKEVvx
"Rules Lady." He said613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIxjTnyqbw
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUeff5JCIV
"Rules?" I asked surprised.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa2xUf6cwK
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ4UgVmdNx
"None of our poisons. This will be a contest of strength and speed." He stated.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO4ZHC9CsQ
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlYVssW0ig
"What is the point in that?" I asked in shock.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNrDEV38gj
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcYnZro52y
"Well I can settle this little vendetta you have and I can go on about my business." He said smirking dangerously.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqqCUM82oU
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7a5eVhpuC
"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeXHlOKSEd
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1ALQRwu92
"What you see as my insults, I see as nothing." He answered.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZb6WiBCyo
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ruD5imbLl
"You came upon me remember?" I growled.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfW7pDCygP
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1nKbxDHCj
"How could I forget?" he answered thickly.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXsYbQg8nP
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJsKkzDlac
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqNzWd1P11
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NVn2xX1bh
"What angers you more Lady that I caught you or I did not kiss your feet?" he said sarcastically.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0yBnesnzu
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNVmzEWLYq
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyF0EJvbjh
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFccovv8N23
"Bitch!" he snarled.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkzvUTXkWB
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgtjVPWgTr
"Quit stating the obvious." I taunted.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXswDyZ5dv
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k2KOLclNv
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEyzSQ9Xue
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKp6JRSZpd
"I want you." He snarled at me.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHNkhG1YGU
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6H0feJJEr
"Want me how cur?" I growled.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TLeFOioyR
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEKQcZdbV5
"Withering under me screaming my name as you submit to me."613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq0JwoGS36
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny4zwmvswz
"NEVER." I barked.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzPTuQXMtb
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kXZrkajC9
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnw7RSKZEA
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnKXPr8n1N
"ENOUGH!" Kouga yelled.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAferiPzgk
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pTKjYagvq
Katashi and I both stared at the ookami and I stepped back and bowed formally.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF49OHBQRt8
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmXk4uMmbn
"I apologize Prince Kouga. I will take my leave of you and your guest. Have the courage to finish this cur." I muttered.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfUQCLsYUD
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9KStj1tea
"Oh I will finish it bitch." He whispered back.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWf9bXd92W
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AS9AVuIQX
"Lady Asuna, I suggest you head back to the West." Kouga commanded.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLB53kyW8t
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthY1vRx3y8
"At once." I said turning on my heel to leave.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N2QdVtqe7
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPBcTD2sdU
"I shall call upon you my Lady to finish what I started." Katashi called after me.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdHmf5NSwY
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3umRHFni2
"See that you do filth. I look forward to gutting you." I answered.
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKDR3S50Af
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcrSTMHEzM
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f1UrouM59
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLZIVe5STB
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhkagXcnhP
"Damn." I muttered under my breath.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqPpONrw6g
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YydF6lfbs
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqV4on4oDn
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFGHhaR53I
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjfqWPdNBz
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23VsiGVlnd
I walked through the gates and yelled for Jaken.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmgm6KhOxv
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NTJSHoqB0
"Yes milady?" he came before prostrate.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJvpuzRfG8
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCuDob9zgC
"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DKigq6tFN
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69dimjqTRN
"Yes Lady Asuna. What else may I do for you?" He squeaked.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKBhoLrJZK
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZN0kh6njm
"You may do as you were bid. Be away with you toad." I said irritated.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavXFjJxP2S
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNP1dBjEgA
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr5bKOnu8I
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32qp3ZyCnv
"Mayu!" I called for my maid servant.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiRMWHSFOL

"Hai my Lady!" she came to my side and bowed.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65Gbfbn4P3

"Hai my lady."613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFgYN4Lbpf
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t8UMrdEIc
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQqQLtfxK4
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ070Bi5uJPM
"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeUEluiO2J
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQMP96E62z
"Yes my lady." She said bowing and backing away.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6OnJQGgoB
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIPf52J5UE
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVjVkeQzzS
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCnWTOBSX0
"We are having guests?" he asked arching a silver brow.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH2FzsKO9k

I bowed to him and straightened and nodded.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHETOoNMG9s
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tD2wLAejo
"What did you do?" my mother asked.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIjKJDMf9w
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva8kIQyHFi
"Why are you dressed in state daughter?" he asked his curiosity piqued.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgEsW1lduG
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD06z5ui1e
"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0b9pqgqc9
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCMrMsDE4A
"How exactly did you challenge him Asuna?" mother asked narrowing her eyes.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai7xn0tppB
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgtHCDCm03
"I told him I would enjoy gutting him." I said bluntly.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3nQIo8F6m

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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAXD7vtH7l
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsvxpAzGcv
"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG8ApQQQg1

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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qnSLGIBxY
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllQo13xFCs

"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzbE0xa6cC

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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3opVPxicbB

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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hnveQMWQx
