The Day After Tomorrow

Introduction

The trees rustled as a 17 year-old boy with silver and black hair carried an unconscious 15 year-old girl through the forest. Behind them, the girl's twin brother and the boy's 16 year-old brother followed closely. After running a few hundred meters, the boy put the girl down on the ground.

"We should be safe here," he stated flatly, looking at the girl.

"For now, anyway," the boy's brother said. They were all wearing the same drab grey uniform. The only difference was that the silver-haired boy's uniform was cut off at the shoulders. The girl's brother stepped forward.

"Is she going to be all right?" he asked. The boy looked at the girl's brother with tears in his eyes.

"I truely, and honestly don't know."

Chapter One - The Beginning

"The wind was quiet and calm; the trees didn't even move. And then, all of a sudden, it came. The biggest demon I had ever seen in my life! It ran right after me as I was running away, until I remembered that I had the wind tunnel with me, turned around, and sucked the demon in! Whoosh! Just like that!" Kaiju was very good at telling such stories, for his father had told him the very same stories until he had memorized them. Mayu, however, was not as impressed as her brother wanted her to be.

"You've told me the same story five different times, in five different ways, and I'm still not impressed," she told him. Kaiju hung his head in dismay.

"I know…" he sulked. As Mayu crossed her arms and looked at her brother, a two-tailed cat walked into the room. The kids looked at the cat and smiled.

"Kirara!" they exclaimed. Kirara looked up at them and walked to Mayu, rubbing against her leg. Mayu picked her up and pet her on the head. Kirara started to purr, when suddenly, they heard a noise outside. Kirara's ears perked up as she growled. Mayu looked at her and then at Kaiju, who looked at Kirara.

"What is it, Kirara?" he asked. Her answer was jumping out of Mayu's arms and transforming. Mayu and Kaiju looked at her, then at the door.

"Mayu…" Kaiju whispered, "What's out there?" Mayu stared at the door.

"I-I don't know," she whispered back. It then got quiet. The silence lasted for a few minutes, until Mayu took a step forward. All of a sudden, the roof was torn off and a 20-foot demon stood above them. Kaiju stared as Mayu screamed. Kirara kicked into gear and leapt at the demon.

While Kirara was fighting, two shadowy figures jumped down into the hut. One of them looked like a monk while the other looked like a warrior. The monk took a step forward, holding his right hand. Only when he spoke did the children know who they were.

"Kirara, move!" the monk shouted. Kirara jumped out of the way just as the monk removed the beads and cloth from his hand. A vortex opened up in his palm, sucking everything in its path into a void less space. Mayu and Kaiju knew what it was; they had seen it a million times before. However, the monk was having difficulty sucking in such a huge demon. The warrior, who was a woman, jumped up and threw her giant boomerang-like weapon at the demon, cutting it into two pieces. The monk then easily sucked in the remaining two demon parts and quickly sealed off the vortex. The dynamic duo turned to each other and smiled.

"Good job, Sango," the monk said. Sango nodded.

"You, too, Miroku," she agreed. They both turned to Mayu and Kaiju as they ran to them.

"Mom! Dad!" they exclaimed, hugging their parents. Miroku and Sango smiled.

"Are you two all right?" she asked them. Mayu looked up at her.

"Where did that thing come from, Mom?" she asked. Miroku looked up at the damage.

"Probably the north. The demons are having trouble finding peace among themselves."

"But how can you tell that they were from the north, Dad?" Kaiju persisted. Miroku looked at him.

"Because the demons up there that are fighting are driving all the other demons away, making them have to find new places to live and new food to eat. So, they come here." Kaiju nodded. Mayu looked at Sango again.

"Can we visit Lady Kaede and Shippo today?" she asked. Sango smiled.

"Of course," she answered. Mayu and Kaiju had befriended Lady Kaede and Shippo and loved to hang out with them all day long. Mayu, who was being taught the ways of a demon-slayer and a priestess, helped out Kaede whenever she could. Kaiju, who was learning the ways of being a monk and setting up pranks, helped out Shippo in developing new pranks for when the other two got back.

Kagome and InuYasha had gone up north in search of Naraku and Hakudoushi, leaving the others behind to live their lives peacefully. What they didn't know was that their stay was prolonged and lasted five years. Sesshomaru, who had also heard news of Naraku's whereabouts, had followed his half-brother up north, in search of his arch nemesis. Koga and his crew had stayed in the village to protect the unsuspecting villagers from impending demonic doom. That left Miroku and Sango, who decided to settle down and have kids. Mayu and Kaiju were twins, born at exactly the same time on the same day. They almost never fought and they were even polite to each other.

On their way into the village, Mayu and Kaiju looked up and saw demons in the sky going away from the village. They assumed that Koga had done his job and that the demons were retreating. When the arrived in the village, they ran straight to Kaede's hut, greeting and being greeted by villagers along the way. When they reached Kaede's hut, however, there was already a crowd surrounding the place. Miroku and Sango wormed their way passed the spectators with Mayu and Kaiju close behind. When they got a little closer, Miroku and Sango were pleased to find out what was going on.
