Hanyo of Snow

Ch19 Amari the Fool

(Yura POV)

It has been a day and a half since our battle with Sesshōmaru, which I am honestly still surprised that we survived.

She is practically one of the strongest yokai not sealed away or in hiding that I know off and we managed to drive her off.

Of course I helped more when it came to my master, still all of us held our own against Sesshōmaru even if it took everything we had.

If I had to admit something I believe that taking Master's offer was perhaps one of the best moments in my life, minus it being the only option at the time and having to deal with the girl, the bitch, and an old flea on a daily basis.

It would be even better if he would make a move on me, but I digress it was probably be better to wait for him to make a move or subtly manipulate him to do so.

Last time I tried the direct approach I was nearly killed for it after all.

It would be difficult for as Master was smart enough to see through most of it, but there is a certain flair for it that just makes me to improve it anyway.

Still there are a few things that I dislike.

For one the girl who has feelings for my master, which was mutual for him as well. They were just too shy to admit it to each other. A cute trait for master I suppose, but it irritates me to no end from the girl.

The fact she nearly snapped my true form in half also factoring into my dislike or her as well.

Honestly if it wasn't for how master cares for her and the possibility of him snapping my comb in half I would have killed her in her sleep by now.

Her and the bitch too.

Honestly while I will never admit it,...I have some respect for her.

Despite being a halfbreed bitch, she is strong I'll give her that. Then again considering her father was one of the strongest daiyokai of all time it makes sense.

Still she is someone I can't bet with any obvious methods now she possesses the Tessaiga and had literally disarmed one of the strongest yokai currently living and not sealed away.

But now I have said daiyokai after my head in the possible future...then again she would come after master as well due to her interest in him.

So I can't fault her for that.

I suppose I'm still rather sore at her for the way she diced me up during our fight, and just her in general.

The fact that I'm worried or paranoid of what her protectiveness of master might stem into also helps.

Other then those two the only real problem is that the flea is a bit perverted, but he knows what is good for him a keeps it to himself.

Then again I can't really say anything about myself as well.

Though I hate doing so, I can focus and see the base surrounds surrounding my comb. I hate it as I have to temporarily lose control of this body in order to do so.

But the way master looked as he was changing into what did he call them, swimming trunks was sooo worth it.

Have to agree with the bitch but it was a shame that he was only 14 although I could care less about his age, I suppose she has a point.

Going after him when he turns 15 will mean he will be a bit more open to my advances.

So I can wait a little bit for that to happen and according to him it is a little less then two weeks away.

Still speaking of master although he won't show it, he is still a little shaken up about what happened with Sesshōmaru. He still hadn't recovered the memory of the girl almost dying, but that was probably for the best.

He was still getting used to being a little less human though.

I will admit the white hair looks better on him then his black hair and I can't wait for it to become fully white. But still I have to imagine to becoming a bit more yokai might have shaken him a bit.

Especially with the thought of what would happen to him when we gain the full Shikon Jewel, if we survive this journey that is.

Still if what the bitch told me is true then there are bound to be more shards going to try and unite with the one in his chest. Then what would happen if he gains the full Jewel in his chest, would he just become all powerful or would he become a full yuki-onna?

Honestly I'd prefer the first option, but I wouldn't mind if master was a man or a woman all that much.

Still master prefers his current status as a hanyo, so it is generally agreed to figure out on how to remove the shard without killing him.

Something that is going to be even more difficult then it sounds.

Still I believe that there is a way and I'm keeping my ears open just in case.

Other then that nothing much has changed, after resting a bit from the whole Sesshōmaru fiasco we began our journey towards our current location.

Nothing really happened, except an event were master showcased how he was the best master ever!

(Flashback)

When one finds themselves surrounded by bandits, they usually cower in fear.

So I was surprised to say the least when a whole group of bandits was cowering in fear and the leader looking like he was going to shit himself under Kagome's glare.

Okay I can understand that reaction if it came from master or the bitch, but the girl not so much.

So I did the reasonable thing to do.

"Do you mind explaining what is with these bandits or why they are scared of the girl?" I whispered to Inuko.

I would have asked master, but he flanked himself to the girl with Shūsui drawn out. So I decided to ask the closest towards my, aka the bitch.

"These idiots tried to kidnapped Kagome before the jewel shattered and ran away like cowards when it turned it their boss was actually dead and held a Shibugarasu that tried to kill them all." Inuko said simply, getting me to nod.

Well that makes sense I suppose.

"And that one grabbed my ass." Kagome said, causing the lead bandit to sweat even harder and master to frown.

That fool was going to die.

"And he was planning on raping her too if possible once we had the Shikon Jewel." One of the bandits said, sealing the leaders grave and getting everyone to glare at him.

Okay master was definitely going to kill him if the mist coming off him and unreadable expression was of any indication.

The bandit leader tried to make a run for it, but was caught by two other bandits.

"Okay how about we have a deal, you feel free to do anything to him while the rest of us are free to leave." The bandit, obviously the smartest of the bunch offered.

Master pondered the offer for a minute before he approached the bandit leader.

"I have a better idea." Master said coolly as he placed a hand on the leader's shoulder and he was covered in mist. When it dispelled the leaders mouth was completely covered up with ice and so was his legs

"Kagome if you will." Master said as he stepped away from the half frozen bandit, and it crossed my mind what master had planned.

The grin on the girl's face when she realized it as well wouldn't be out of place on a crazed killer.

"Gladly Y/N." Kagome said before kicking the half frozen bandit in the crotch, hard.

So hard in fact I heard a shattering noise and the bandit's half muffled screams turned soprano.

The bandits paled and all covered their crotches, in fear of suffering the same fate.

Master just winced.

Me and the bitch both had a similar grin, as I hated to admit it but this was entertaining.

The bandit finally stopped screaming as his eyes rolled back into his head and passed out from the pain.

Kagome gave another kick just incase she missed shattering any bit of his manhood before walking off, a content expression on her face.

Master walked up to the bandit and unfroze him, causing the man to collapse onto the ground.

"Okay here is my counter offer, you will give me what I wish and in return I will not repeat what my friend did to him, you all are free to go, and feel free to do whatever it is with this one." Master said while gesturing to the broken form of the man beneath him.

"We accept! Just spare us from that please! Anything but that!" The smart bandit cried out while covering his crotch, getting similar reactions from the rest of them.

"Good." Master said before facing me. "Yura you know what to do." He said with a small sadistic grin.

With that one sentence, all the stress from the previous day seemed to melt away and I got shivers up my spin from his grin.

"Gladly Master!" I said enthusiastically while brandishing Benigasumi, causing the bandits to scream in fear.

(Flashback end)

In the end I got enough hair to make a good start in rebuilding my home and found out my master might have a hidden sadistic streak to him.

Something that I would love to one day expand on.

Anyway that night besides the flea bringing up that the Tessaiga's sheath was being repaired after being left alone for 2 centuries, I was clued into something the had kept secret.

That master and the girl were actually from over 450-some years into the future.

At first I was in disbelief of the, until Master introduced me to shampoo and conditioner.

Only the future could produce such amazing confections for the hair!

Dear Amaterasu the things those amazing confections can do to this body is nothing short of breathtaking.

I haven't felt this clean in years!

My thoughts were interrupted as Master burst out of the water along with the girl.

Master was wearing a simple pair of black swimming trunks and the girl a unkamily kill me orange one piece swim suit.

I swear the people in the future must either be prudes or sadisticly perverted if the way their swim suits were covering there skin and somehow showed off their curves.

Amazing on master, average at best on the girl.

Then again that might just the part of me that wishes to see master naked or in a loincloth talking.

Still who knows, I might find one that as constricting in their era.

Anyway I shook off my thoughts/slash desires to focus on our current objective.

Finding one of the Shikon Jewels shards.

From what little I knew it was reported to have fallen into a pond around a daiymo's home outside of the prefecture.

The girl also finally developed the ability to sense the shards with some help from master. So she could tell that it was close by.

But there were two problems with this.

First was that there were three ponds in the area and one was located in the daiymo's castle and it will be hard to enter in to look for it and this was the first of the ponds.

The second was that a rather nasty toad yokai inhabited one of these ponds. I was confident that Master, the bitch, and I could handle him. The girl not so much. So me and the bitch and flea we're keeping an eye out just incase the toad was going to try anything.

So far he hasn't, so he must be in one of the other two ponds then.

One of which we will have to look into by the looks of it.

"Nothing on your end as well Y/N?" Kagome asked.

"Nothing on this end Kagome." Master sighed out.

Looks like there is nothing in this pond, so one down and three to go.

The sounds of branches breaking broke my muses and I saw the bitch chasing after a white blur. It stopped near the the girls clothes and from the looks of the blur it was a small macaque.

Odd, you don't really see them in these parts of Nippon that often.

Anyway the macaque took the girls clothes when someone blew a finger whistle and it fled in that general direction with Inuko and the others not that far behind it.

I was the first to get to the source of the noise and found a young man searching through her clothes with...something in his hand and a confused expression with the macaque near by him.

Either he was a pervert or the macaque grabbed the wrong item.

"Th-this...isn't something to eat?" The man said while putting the item back.

So he wasn't a pervert, shame.

Master wouldn't let me have his hair than and it was of such fine quality too. Must be from a clan if he could have hair as fine as that.

"You might want to return those clothes?" Master said as he emerged from the bushes, startling the man.

"Who are you?! You look suspicious!" The man declared while drawing his sword and pointing it at master.

I don't think so!

I pry the sword lose with some of my hairs and place it over the man's neck and backed him up against the tree. The macaque began to run around in circles panicked.

"Yura can you please put down the sword, I can handle this on my own." Master sighed out.

Seeing his reasoning, I complied and dropped the blade to the ground. The young man sighed out in relief before blushing as his stomach grumbled.

"Now you are suspicious to us, but how about I make you a deal?

We give you something to eat then you can tell us what you are doing here and apologize to my friend.

Though I can't promise you end without a mark.

It's better then the alternative and letting her unleash the full extent of her fury on you.

" Master said, gesturing to the raging form of Kagome being held back by a bored looking Inuko.

The man had the appropriate reaction of paling in terror, much to my satisfaction.

(Later)

The man with a red handprint on his face and the macaque were currently eating a bag of dried potato slices or as master and the girl called them potato chips.

The meeting went about as well as expected as the girl laid the young man down onto the ground with a single slap.

After that the girl and to my disappointment master got changed and gave the man his potato chips.

Me and the bitch were nearby in the tree incase the man tried anything with master or to keep the macaque from stealing his scarf again.

Don't know the story about master's scarf, but if someone trying to steal it could sent him into a rage then it must be very important.

Anyway the man and macaque had a content expression as they finished up the chips.

"Those dried potatoes were delicious." The young man says before he and the macaque bowed at the girl and master. "Thank you two for your generosity!"

"It's no problem. Anyway I'm Y/N and right next to me is Kagome.

The ones in the tree are Inuko and my vassal, Yura.

" Master said causing me to preen at his praise, before the young man swatted his face to reveal that the flea had been sucking his blood.

"And that would be Myōga. Now I believe we agreed that you owe us an explanation? "

The man looked at as with suspicion, I mean he was surrounded by what he supposed were three yokai after all and a human claiming one of them to be his vassal. It was an unusual sight to behold after all.

But he relented after about a minute of thought.

"I can't tell my lineage, but call me Nobunaga and this here is Hiyoshimaru." Nobunaga said while gesturing to the macaque on his shoulder.

The girl looked excited for a second before master placed a hand in front of her.

"Does your first name happen to be Oda?" Master asked.

I guess that by master's and the girls's reactions that this Oda Nobunaga would be someone very important in the future.

Master's question only caused Nobunaga to scoff.

"Don't lump me in with that fool from Owari! I am Nobunaga Amari from the land of Kai!" Amari declared, getting Hiyoshimaru to nod rapidly causing the girl to sigh.

"So you are from the Takeda clan then?" Master asked, getting Amari to nod.

"That is correct, but I take it that you are from one as well." Amari asked, getting master to shake his head.

"Not really, my mother is from a clan but they don't know I exist. My father is also a descendant of a clan, but the only one here who is from a clan is Kagome." Master said, getting Amari to nod and confused looks from the rest of us.

It was no secret that we all knew that Master was from one of the largest yuki-onna clans, but evidently even the girl never knew he was descended from a human clan.

"And what clan are from Kagome?" Amari asked.

"The Higurashi clan." The girl answered with a little pride when she saw Amari's reaction.

"I've heard of them. A small clan, but they are a clan of priests." Amari said before sighing out. "If you have inherited their talents then maybe you could help me?"

"Unless it is nearby or has anything to do with a Shikon Jewel shard then I suggest you look somewhere else." Inuko said, with myself thinking the same thing. Though I doubt master and the girl would let it slide.

"I don't know about the later, but my task is in the daiymo's castle." Amari sighed out, silencing any protests master or the girl might've had at the bitch's statement.

"Can you please explain then?" Kagome asked, getting Amari to nod.

"I was sent here to retrieve Princess Tsuyu from the daiymo's castle by her father.

He had heard some rumors of him these past few days and has been acting differently since a star fell into the castle pond.

I come here and find out that he has been gathering women from all over his land and rumors that he has been posses by a yokai.

I'm here to confirm these rumors and the get Tsuyu away from here if they are true. " Amari explained, causing me groan.

So a Shikon Jewel shard was responsible for this and of the possession rumors were true then it wasn't going to end well for the daiymo.

"You have any idea of what is going on Yura?" Master asked upon noticing my pondering.

Perceptive as always master.

"I have an idea that what is going on is due to the daiymo possibly being possessed by a rather nasty toad yokai known as Tsukumo no Gama.

It has terrorized this area for around 300 years and is possibly using a Shikon Jewel shard to enhance his powers to possess the daiymo erect all kinds of trouble.

" I said, getting master to sigh and Amari to gain a shocked expression.

"That's just great, hopefully I have something in my father's notes that'll help out. I'm just thankful this isn't a toad demon." Master sighed out and I was inclined to agree.

Although they barely if at all crossed over into Nippon from China they were quickly killed off before they could even cause trouble.

They tended to act like this particular toad yokai, only worse off and much more powerful.

One that was caught in Nippon centuries ago leveled a small village in its wrath before it was stopped by someone who was the most powerful miko ever to live.

Looks like we have a target now and a toad to kill.

"If that is true, then can please help free the daiymo from his possession?" Amari asked us, getting master and Kagome to nod.

"Of course we can." Kagome said, getting Amari to nod and Hiyoshimaru to chirp happily.

"Thank you, now let us depart at once!" Amari declared before walking off.

"Wait-" Master tried to warn him, but it was too later.

Amari, no the fool walked off a small ledge and fell onto the ground unconscious with his macaque hollering about in a circle.

I left the tree to inspect him and saw his condition. He wouldn't be waking up anytime soon.

"Looks like he won't be awake to around nightfall." I told master, getting him to sigh. "Probably for the best, most toad yokai prefer to move about at night and this one should be no exception."

"Well then we should prepare for the upcoming night then, any idea on how to get rid of a toad yokai possessing someone Yura?" Master asked me.

"The only method is extreme heat and cold, but in order for the host to be alive I suggest fire master. No one really has tried with ice, but as you will no doubt want the host alive I suggest fire." I said, causing his to sigh before he gave a small grin and turned to the girl.

What was he planning?

"Kagome you still have that aerosol bug spray with you?" Master asked, getting her to grin as well.

"I do, looks like we have a plan to deal with the toad then." Kagome said, getting everyone to nod.

"Then the two of you can handle it on your own tonight." Inuko said surprising everyone.

Yomi, even I never thought that she would suggest that.

"A smart decision, Lady Inuko." Myōga praised, only to be silenced with a glare by the bitch.

"Of course you would think that, you wouldn't get to fight.

But I'm going to let it slide this time since I'm not going to fight and that hairy bitch sure isn't going to fight tonight.

So you might as well go retrieve the Tessaiga's sheath.

" Inuko said, shocking myself and getting the flea to nod gratefully.

"Of course Lady Inuko! I shall return with the sheath by the mourning." Myōga said before bounding off into the forest.

Honestly I could care less about the flea leaving, but that halfbreed bitch has the gull to order me not to fight alongside master is something that I care very much about!

Yomi, I thought she would have jumped at the first chance to try her claws at a fight alongside master with how protective she is of him.

I could that bitch a piece of my mind, she spoke up.

"Save whatever triad you have for me you hairy bitch, the two of us could easily handle the toad easily.

But Y/N and the girl, that is a different matter.

The girl might be out of reiryoku at the moment and be next to useless with her at best below average archery skills.

" Inuko said, getting the girl to growl at her.

It looked like she was going to try something, but master placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Pity, I wished to see the bitch suffer one of those Osuwari I heard about.

"But if Y/N trusts her to accomplish a part, that is fine by me. As for Y/N he can take care of himself and he was able to scar Sesshōmaru. So I believe that he and the girl can handle this toad alone. Wouldn't you say so Yura?" Inuko said, causing me to sigh.

I suppose the bitch has a point.

Master did manage to harm her after all, so I will consent to this.

"I suppose, but we are going to intervene if anything happens?" I asked, getting the bitch to nod.

"Of course, besides with the rate Y/N has been knocked out and kidnapped we need to keep an eye on him definitely." Inuko said while throwing me a glare with the girl copying her and causing master to sigh as well.

I suppose I do deserve the glare for what I did to master.

"Looks like we have a plan for the night, but I suppose we can discuss it later after we help Amari up." Master said and I looked down to see the macaque poking it it's foolish owner in his sleep.

"I suppose so, but Y/N can you please tell me why you never mentioned that you were descended from a clan?" Kagome asked.

"It is because you never asked and that I only recently found out about it myself through my father's notes. Besides we have a more important issue with this toad yokai to deal with. I will tell you everything you want to know after this." Master said, getting the girl to nod.

"Fair enough, but I'm holding you to your word." Kagome said, getting Y/N to nod.

"Don't worry I will, I've learned from my father's mistakes and I do have a thing or two to get off of my chest. But for now, let us help Amari up from the cliff." Master said while looking down at the cliff at the still unconscious form of the fool.

As he and the girl helped said fool up, my thoughts just laid with two things.

Ways to skin the bitch alive without being killed in turn if her plan get master killed.

And how much more amazing master really is!

He was descended from a clan and depending on the one maybe he was royalty. I mean he was technically already was but only among yuki-onna as a male hanyo among their kind and in such a prominent clan meant that he was basically a prince among their kind.

But if that included being among humans too, then that was even more spectacular. A royal on both human and yokai decent.

"Honestly it's not all that it's cracked up to be, but then again I never really knew anyone in my mother's clan and my old man was already dead so I don't really have that much experience with being royalty." The bitch spoke up with a grin.

Damn it, must've been to caught up in my musings and spoke out a bit.

Not that it mattered much, but as I looked around I noticed that master and the girl were gone.

"If you are wondering where they are, they took that fool back to our campsite and Y/N asked me to check up on you." Inuko said.

Master is so caring to send someone to check up on me. Though I would have honestly preferred the macaque over the bitch though.

"Well that was kind of Master as always, what do you know about what I was talking about.

Sure your father was technically the ruler of Honshū while alive and your mother was a noble you are technically royalty.

But only among yokai and most of them could care less about you.

But on the human side I doubt that you would be royalty among them you halfbreed bitch. " I said, getting her to grin.

"Honestly I couldn't care about being royalty, but the reactions when everyone finds out about my mother's clan is always fun.

I did say I was going to tell you guys after the incident with my sister, but with what happened with Y/N I thought that it would be better to wait.

So I'll tell Y/N and the girl later and I'll tell you now, just to prove you wrong. " She said, getting me to huff.

"Very well, but I doubt that your mother's clan would amount to much." I said.

There was no way she was royalty.

Inuko whispered it into my ear and procured proof of her claim from her robes.

A clan seal, validating her claim.

I turned pale and promptly realized that the bitch was right.

Dear Izanami, she was right!

I did the only thing that my mind could comprehend at the time, and just fainted from shock.
