I'll put a good summary after the first few chapters – unless it ends before that (heh heh).

Author's Comments

Hey All. This is my second fic. But you've gotta know; I am writing this because I needed a distraction of sorts from my other one for a while. This fic is just to help me unwind a bit, so I won't give it too much thought and planning, I'm just going to write it off the top of my head and see where it goes. I am hoping that it will be a short fic, but with me…. I/you can never tell. To keep myself interested, this is not going to be all serious all the time, and is going to have light hearted humor here and there.

Important

There is Kagome and Inuyasha Pairing. I don't bash characters. I will write them the way any character should be written, (okay maybe not as good as Sesshoumaru and Kikyo). If you don't like Kagome or Inuyasha, then you don't want to read this, coz there is going to be plenty about them here.

This story is purely for relaxation, (at least that's what I'm hoping it'll be – for my sake), and I might end it abruptly, if I loose interest or if I want to start another fic. If a majority of you actually like this fic., then you have to tell me in time so that I can give it a proper and meaningful ending.

"" and '' mean the same thing as in my other fic. blah, blah, blah…

Disclaimer : Inuyasha doesn't belong to me and it doesn't to you either… ha hah ha. So don't file a case, blah , blah, blah.

The Chill Fury

Chapter 1

Present Time… (The Setting)

The great demon Lord Inutaisho, paced about the giant plush hall, with concern and worry practically dripping off him. His human wife Izayoi with an equally worried face sat on a large rich sofa and just stared out the window, her hands constantly fidgeting with the wool and string she had on her lap, making no progress whatsoever over the last few miserable hours. Beside her sat a six month pregnant Kagome, holding a cup of tea that had long become cold, who took turns watching her worried father-in-law and husband Inuyasha who was standing on the other side of the room, his left hand fingering the hilt of Tessaiga every few minutes. Kagome could easily tell that her hanyou husband was very agitated and when he didn't express it outwardly she knew that the extent of worry had only worsened in the last hour or so. Kagome absent mindedly stroked her pregnant belly, as she looked at the face of the only person in the room who had anger written on her face rather than worry; it was her sister Kikyo…

About Kikyo…

Kikyo was the most powerful miko in the known world and while being the sole owner of many multi million dollar companies, had made time to come and stay with her younger sister to help with the last stages of her pregnancy, and to meet her husband and his family for the first time. Kikyo although she looked twenty, was nearly two hundred years old, and five years older than her younger sister. The miko powers that they had come to be born with had permanently sealed their fate as immortal beings when they had turned eighteen, like demons and hanyous. In the modern world where demons and humans co-existed peacefully, Kikyo stood firm in her loathing for all that was demon, and that had demon blood. Her intelligence , wit and business savvy had enabled her to start with the small Shikon No Tama Clothing line and within five years had practically destroyed all competition and established her company as the best in fashion and clothing lines. Kikyo didn't stop there, moving onto several other areas in the business world she practically conquered them all. After their mother, grandfather and little brother passed away in a fatal car accident; incidentally in which the driver was a drunk demon, she completely plunged herself into her work, and soon money was nothing to the two remaining members of the Higurashi family. Kikyo now had companies and their respective branches all over the world, but she stayed here in America so that she could at least be in the same country as her sister. Though Kikyo would never admit it, she was quite the workaholic, but of-course she played sports, had hobbies, traveled the world on occasions, and had …..fun.

A little over a Year Ago…

Kikyo was also very over protective of her quite shy and innocent sister, and had hired twenty of the best martial artists and skilled fighters to be personal bodyguards to Kagome, to keep her safe from humans and especially demons, after all a miko was considered to be a priced possession by demons. But as fate would have it, one hanyou had taken a particular liking to Kagome, and just wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. And to make things worse Kagome found that she couldn't say 'no' to him at all. It was practically love at first sight. But the bodyguards had been given strict orders by one of the most powerful women in the world and they were damn well going to follow them.. But it wasn't long before the captain of the team made a call to his employer…, with a broken arm and several cracked ribs.

Kikyo was in the middle of a board meeting when she received the call….and the explanation as to what had happened…..

What had happened was…

Kagome had stood rooted to the spot when she saw him again, Inuyasha, the half demon with long white hair and golden eyes. Kagome's face blushed when she saw him sniff the air, recognize her scent and turn to face her in the crowded shopping mall. She could see the determination in his face, and she loved it. She watched with wonderstruck eyes as he easily dispatched of all of her bodyguards, sending them crashing through windows and the occasional trash bin. His strength and raw determination removed every single obstacle that stood between him and his greatest desire. Kagome stood still as he approached her until his face was only inches apart from hers. He looked deep into her eyes, as everyone in the mall stared at the two of them. The half demon having found what he was looking for in her deep brown eyes, smirked….., smiled mischievously and then embraced her in a passionate kiss. The entire crowd in the shopping mall that had previously stood silent while the half demon tossed the human body guards around like play toys, now cheered in full force. Kagome dropped the bags that she had been clutching in both hands as her eyes first widened upon the impact of his lips on hers, but then closed gently in loving pleasure. Then and there their hearts were given and taken.

Kikyo had almost fired all her board members of one of her companies when she heard what had happened at the mall and when she found out that she couldn't leave for at-least another three days, because of all the business meetings that had been scheduled earlier. Kikyo had cursed that day, like she had never cursed before, almost bringing the men in the giant conference room to tears. Finally on learning that her sister was not harmed, exactly, she had calmed down….. a little.

Present Time

As Kagome looked at her sister who was sitting on a chair on the other side of the still pacing Inutaisho who she had come to call Papa, her sorrow momentarily seemed to cease as she remembered what happened that day when her sister had come speeding home… angry and worried as hell..

One year ago…

Kagome was busy daydreaming about the man of her dreams when she heard a car come to a screeching stop outside her window, immediately followed by her sisters melodious voice--- shouting at one of the servants to get out of the way..

'Oh No! How am I going to explain this!' Kagome thought worriedly as she bolted from her bed and opened her bedroom door to greet her sister whom she hadn't seen in almost six months.

Another shout and another servant was sent scurrying away in fear as Kagome heard her sisters footsteps on the padded carpet of the staircase leading up to the second floor. Kagome didn't know whether to smile or look worried when her sister's face appeared a few feet away from her bedroom door. She chose to go with the first when Kikyo immediately hugged her like hugging a child, and started stroking her back in an attempt to rid the fear that was never there.

"Kagome, are you okay? You don't worry about anything, I'll take care of this demon. You don't have to be scared." Kikyo said trying to solace her 'baby' sister.

"I'm, okay Kikyo." Kagome said relaxing in her sister's embrace.

Kikyo pulled away from Kagome to look her in the eye, "Are you sure?"

Kagome smiled and pulled her worried sister to sit on her bed. "I'm sure Kikyo. I really am fine."

"And I am going to make sure that you stay that way." Kikyo said. "Half demon or what ever, I am going to seal him away. He'll never try to hurt you agai…."

Kagome had placed her hand over her sister's mouth, tears flowing down her face. "Don't do that Kikyo! He, he is in love with me…"

Kikyo felt like the world had turned upside down on her. 'A half demon, in love? What the hell do demons know about love? Poor Kagome, that bastard is trying to trick her.' Kikyo gently stroked her sister's back. "Demons and half demons can't love Kagome. It is not possible. But you don't worry, no matter what he says I'll make sure that he doesn't come near you or tries to hurt you again."

Kagome got up and stood beside the window, wiping away her tears, "You don't understand Kikyo, I…. I …love him too…."

Kikyo almost blew a fuse, she was sure that she had been caught in some kind of spell or illusion. How could her sister fall in love with a demon? It was just impossible. It was unheard of. 'Kagome must be just scared to tell me how she really feels about all this.'

"Kagome, you don't know what you are saying. You just need to rest for a while." Kikyo said going to stand beside Kagome.

"I do know Kikyo. I know I'm in love with him, and I know he's in love with me. Demons and half demons are just like us Kikyo, they can love too." Kagome said turning to look at her sister with a smile on her face.

Kikyo stood speechless. "What the hell are you saying Kagome?" Kikyo suddenly shouted.

Kagome shrank back in fear. She was always scared of her sister when she got angry, this time was no different. Kagome started crying again.

Kikyo immediately realized that she had lost her temper and caused her sister to cry. "I'm sorry sweety." Kikyo pulled her sister toward her and gently patted her head as she cried into her chest. Kikyo knew that her sister maybe a little shy and innocent, but she knew that she was no fool, and underneath it all she was strong and brave, she couldn't be fooled when it came to something like love. But still the thought of her sister in love with a demon made Kikyo cringe inwardly.

"You don't know him Kikyo." Kagome said, her eyes sparkling as she told her sister about the man or rather the hanyou that she was in love with. "He's a little rough around the edges, but he has a wonderful heart. He's not very good at expressing himself but when he does, it's the most wonderful thing. He's very funny too, and he loves Ramen. His eyes are the color of gold and he has long white hair, much longer than mine and he looks simply cute when he wears denim pants and a red t-shirt."

Kikyo listened with quiet shock as she watched her sister dance around the room, blushing every once in a while as she told her every single detail, about Inuyasha. Kikyo got a little angry when Kagome confessed that he had taken her to see his parents that day, after the mall incident. Kikyo listened with growing surprise as Kagome told her that, his father was Inu-Youkai who had fallen in love with a human woman and had Inuyasha soon after. Izayoi Inuyasha's mother had been turned immortal, by Inutaisho using an ancient demon magic, and they lived happily in the Taisho Manor. Kikyo silently noted that at-least they were as wealthy as them, after all her little sister should be looked after like a princess. Still, the thought of her sister possibly going to live in that house, made Kikyo feel a little uneasy, but Kikyo noticed that she had never seen her sister so happy in a long time, not since before their family had died. Kikyo knew that she had done a lot for her sister, but the one thing she couldn't do was give her the love of a whole family. Now that Kagome actually had the chance of being part of an entire family again, it was just something that Kikyo didn't want to or have the heart to take away or refuse.

Kikyo got up and caught her sister in the middle of the bedroom. "If this makes you happy, then…. then I am happy for you too…"

Kagome broke down in tears again as she hugged her sister like she had never hugged her before. Kikyo couldn't believe that she had just given consent to her sister continuing this relationship with a half demon. 'Oh Kami, I hope I am doing the right thing.' Kikyo thought as she returned Kagome's hug.

Kikyo unfortunately had to leave the next day, and didn't get a chance to meet Inuyasha. Kikyo was put to shock again though, when she got a call a few weeks later from a crying Kagome, "Inuyasha asked me to marry him… and I said yes"

After congratulating her sister Kikyo had just stared out the window of her office for the whole of the rest of the day.

As much as she hated it, Kikyo came up with a good excuse to miss her sister's wedding. Kikyo just couldn't bare the thought of having to sit next to demons in the wedding hall, and watch as her sister was given away to a demon family. Kagome had cried and cried, but she eventually bought the excuse and got married without her sister being there.

One month ago…. (From Present Time)

Preparing herself mentally, Kikyo finally decided to go and see her now five months pregnant sister and her new family for the first time.

The day Kikyo arrived at the Taisho Manor….

Kikyo drove her BMW, that was the color of her deep blue eyes, up the long winding path leading to the Taisho manor. Kikyo's miko powers picked up the aura's of a large number of demons. Dressed in casuals; which to Kikyo was an expensive black skirt that hung up to just below her knees and a silk dark purple shirt and a black coat on top. The clothes hugged her quite well; the perfect woman, the perfect business woman.

Having parked the car in the immense driveway and while on the way to the front door, her miko powers suddenly made her aware of an incredibly powerful demon aura. She had never in her life felt such a powerful aura, and the aura was very near. A little nervously Kikyo reached to push the bell, but before her finger reached the button, the giant double doors flew open to reveal a demon who looked about thirty. Kikyo stood still.

"Ahh you must be Kikyo." the demon said before catching a very very stunned Kikyo in a tight embrace. "I am Inutaisho." the demon bowed after releasing a still stunned Kikyo.

'Inutaisho…. This must be Kagome's father in law.' Kikyo thought as she returned the bow.

"Come in, come in." Inutaisho motioned while closing the doors behind her. "Is something wrong?" he suddenly asked sensing that Kagome's sister seemed a little at unease. Then he realized what the cause was. "Oh, I am sorry, it's my demon aura isn't it? Forgive me, Kagome has gotten used to it, but I forgot that you have more miko power than her." Inutaisho immediately masked his aura.

"It's okay." Kikyo finally managed to say. "Pleased to meet you."

"As am I." Inutaisho said with a big smile. "You look very much like your sister, but I can tell that you are much more mature."

Kikyo didn't think it possible but she blushed when she received the complement. So many others had made the some complement half to tease Kagome and the other half because it was true, but Kikyo never blushed before. Kikyo smiled nervously, not knowing what else to do. She had never expected the great Inutaisho to be so…. Humorous. She immediately compared him to the father she never had.

Inutaisho put his arm over her shoulder and guided her into the incredibly gigantic and beautiful house. She was soon introduced to Izayoi. Again this woman reminded Kikyo of the mother she did have, once long ago. 'Kagome must be very happy here.' Kikyo thought as she returned Izayoi's embrace.

"Kagome! Your sister is here!" Inutaisho called.

Footsteps were heard as Kagome appeared at the top of a giant staircase. "Kikyo!" she screamed and ran down the steps.

"Don't run!" both Kikyo and Inutaisho shouted simultaneously. Kikyo was surprised, but Inutaisho just smiled….

Kagome completely ignored both of their warnings and with her five month pregnant belly ran to Kikyo and embraced with all her strength, tears falling from her eyes.

"You shouldn't run like that when you're pregnant." Kikyo said seriously.

"She never listens." Inutaisho said playfully shaking her head.

"Oh, stop it papa." Kagome said wiping away her tears. "How was the flight Kikyo?"

"It was okay." Kikyo said ignoring Kagome's questioning face to look at her belly. "Looks like you are doing well."

Kagome blushed as she placed her hand on her belly. "I am doing great."

"I can see that." Kikyo said smiling.

"You must be tired, Kagome why don't you show Kikyo to her room." Izayoi said placing her palm against Kikyo's back.

"No, wait, you haven't seen Inuyasha yet!" Kagome almost yelled. "Inuyasha! Inuyashaaa…."

"WHAT….." a voice yelled back from somewhere in the giant house. Kikyo looked around unable to figure out the direction from which the voice was coming.

"Come here!" Kagome yelled back. "Right now!"

Kikyo was stunned at how Kagome was calling to her husband and she looked nervously and with a little embarrassment at Inutaisho.

"They are like this always." Inutaisho said smiling. "You get used to it after a while."

"I'm busy!" came back Inuyasha's voice. "What do you want!"

Kagome ignored the question and instead chose to explain to her confused looking sister the exact situation. "Inuyasha is trying to cook for me since I am pregnant." She said giggling. "He insists that he should cook for me, and is at this very moment in the kitchen, god knows making what. I am sure he has no idea what he is doing, he's never been in the kitchen before today…"

Both Izayoi and Inutaisho laughed at this. "I told him not to, but he just won't listen." Kagome finished.

"My son can be a bit stubborn sometimes." Izayoi said smiling. "He gets it from his father." The last statement caused the still laughing Inutaisho to stop in shock. This time even Kikyo couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly a crash was heard from somewhere in the house, and a door being pushed open violently, followed soon after. Everyone turned to look at Inuyasha who was wearing an apron and a chef's hat rather untidily on his head. Kikyo's eyes widened as she took in the sight of Kagome's husband.

Inuyasha was covered from head to toe in white flour. Even his face had patches of white. There was some spinach caught in his hair, a slice of tomato planted flat on his left shoulder and something that looked like butter was sticking to his hair at the sides. He was holding a tray that contained what looked like a pastry the size of a loaf of bread and a glass of juice in the other. His gold eyes blinked in confusion as he first stared at his wife then at Kikyo.

Kikyo managed to stifle her laugh, but the other three laughed out loud, causing the hanyou's face to turn a bright red.

"Oh snuff it!" Inuyasha yelled angrily, which in turn only caused them to laugh out louder. A giant drop of sweat appeared on Inuyasha's face.

"Kikyo… meet my crazy but lovable husband." Kagome finally introduced. "Inuyasha this is my sister Kikyo."

Inuyasha bowed awkwardly, with an embarrassed smile. Kikyo returned the gesture with a smile of sympathy.

"My, my son, I didn't know you could cook." Inutaisho said jovially.

"He certainly looks like he gave it his full effort." Izayoi put in.

"Honey… you didn't use Tessaiga's Wind Scar to make me a pastry did you?" Kagome asked barely able to control her laughter.

"Feh! I try to cook you a meal, and this is the thanks I get." Inuyasha scoffed.

"Oh I'm sorry, here let me have a taste of the pastry you made for me." Kagome said reaching for the tray.

Inuyasha though immediately pulled it away from her, red painting his face again. "Ahh.. maybe you shouldn't. It.. ahmm… it might not be cooked… properly. He.. he.. But you can have the juice!"

Kikyo watched as Kagome smiled lovingly at her husband, kissed him and then took the glass of juice. 'She really is happy…' Kikyo thought as she saw Inuyasha's face become as red as a tomato when Kagome kissed him in front of everyone.

"Kagome, Kagome, I told uncle Inuyasha not to put the flour…." Everyone turned to see a little girl who had stopped mid sentence when she saw that there was a stranger in the house.

"Come here Rin." Kagome called lovingly. "This is my sister that I told you about, Kikyo."

Rin hid behind Inuyasha as she looked curiously at the lady who looked a lot like Kagome. "Don't be shy Rin." Inuyasha said untangling her fingers from his t-shirt and pushing her forward.

Rin bowed to Kikyo, "Pleased to meet you Kikyo sama."

"It's nice to meet you too, Rin." Kikyo said gently stroking the little girls head. 'Who is she?' Kikyo wondered, but soon her attention was diverted to a 'thud' sound.

Everyone again turned to see a little green imp sprawled across the floor, having tripped on the apron that was toooo large for him; he was in a worse mess than Inuyasha. The imp lifted himself off the ground and scurried towards the group.

"And this is Jaken." Kagome introduced in-between giggles. The kappa demon had bean sprouts sticking out of his old fashioned traditional clothes. "Jaken this is my sister Kikyo."

Jaken bowed to Kikyo, but immediately cringed when some pepper that had fallen onto his little black cap was released into the air. The kappa demon sneezed violently, the force sending him crashing against a wall. Everyone burst out laughing again. Kikyo wondered briefly whether this was some kind of nuthouse, and whether everyday was like this.

Jaken recovered and walked back up to the group, "I still think that pastry is under cooked. I don't think it would be healthy for Kagome sama to eat that."

Kikyo immediately changed her mind and realized that this was a house where, although crazy things seemed to happen, everyone was concerned about her sister's welfare, and that's all she needed to know to feel at peace….

Next chapter; find out how Kikyo manages staying in the Taisho Manor, and what Rin is doing here, instead of being with a certain someone, and what (The Setting) is all about. Who am I kidding, not serious, psesh, yeah right! I think I lost my fun side when the anime ended..
