Ch.1 Beginning A New Journey
~*~
"Alright! Saturday!" Akaya said and yawned loudly while stretching out in bed. Her ears twitched at the sound of her mother down stairs cooking something sizzling and her nose twitched even more than her fury black ears at the smell of what she could only recognize as sausages. (A/N: ummm. sausages *drools*) She scratched at her pitch-black hair and rubbed the night's sleep away from her dark blue eyes.
"Oh shoot! It's Saturday!" she repeated as if realization struck her, which it did. "Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! YES! It's my birthday!" she cheered. She had sat up and had a huge smile that would have blinded someone. She remembered the promise her parents had told her when she was little.
'I remember, they told me I could go back through the well. Back to feudal era Japan when I turn 16. They told me about their crazy adventures and how they had defeated their worst enemy, Naraku. They've told me the story a million times already. They also told me how they fell in love and how dad had almost lost his life in hell because of some Kikyou women wanting him to die with her. He told me that after he chose my mom to be with and refused to go with Kikyou, she had vowed to get revenge on him for betraying her, but they've never seen her since.'
Akaya got up and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
'Today is going to be a good day. I'll be able to see my old playmates again.' She thought and smiled at her reflection revealing a pair of sharp pearly white canines.
She quickly ran into her closet and pulled on her shorts that came up to about mid-thigh. Then pulled out a red sleeveless shirt that was short enough to let some of her belly button show. She sat in front of her mirror and began brushing her waist long hair and while letting her thoughts wonder.
'I'm finally gonna get to see Shippou, Taiken, Sango, Miroku and everyone else. It was so long ago. I can't believe it's been about eleven years now. I remember when I had left; Taiken was about 5 months older than I was. Shippou, in human years was about 6 years older than I was. Last time I saw them Shippou was a head taller than me too and so was Taiken. He always had some of the weirdest questions. Well at least I thought they were weird back then, now that I think about it his questions were pretty much perverted. I remember him constantly asking his dad about women which was weird for a five-year-old. Mom and dad always told me that he'd one day grow up to be a pervert just like his dad. Sango and Miroku were still young the last time I saw them, ha I bet their just as old as my parents.' She thought as she finished brushing her hair.
Akaya got up and walked over to her bed to get her big yellow backpack her mom had let her borrow. Her mom told her that she used that same bag when she went into the well.
Akaya was about to turn and walk out the door when she looked out the window. Her father was leaning against the goshinboku tree outside on the shrine grounds. She watched him sitting there looking as peaceful as every with his eyes closed as if deep in thought or meditation. She smiled lightly at her father when he opened his eyes and looked up at her leaning against the windowsill and looking back at him.
'I admire my dad very much. Mom had told me about my father wanting to become full youkia when they first met. But everything had changed when they fell in love. Mom also told me that he used the jewel she protected to give him the ability to go from human to hanyou at will. He spent practically all of his time in his human form and aged along with it but he lived through youkia years. It's really rare that he goes back to being hanyou, he only does it on certain occasions and when my cousins, Sano and Yuki, come over cause they think of him as some awesome superhero. He is in a way a superhero, at least to me. It always fascinated me when he turned hanyou. His boyish features would return along with the silver hair, claws, ears and fangs. Mom is always telling me I get my temper and stubbornness from him along with my youkia features.
Akai stuck her head out the window. "Morning dad!" she shouted.
"Morning sweetheart!" he returned the greeting.
Akaya stuck her head back in and went down stairs.
"Ummm...Something smells good." She said when she walked into the kitchen.
"Morning dear. I made your favorite, bacon, eggs, and sausages."(A/N: I couldn't think of anything else except for sausages cause I really like those.^_^) The now older Kagome said to her daughter. (A/N: she's not that old where she's got wrinkles, she just looks a little older.)
"Thanks mom."
"Morning baby." The human form of Inuyasha said kissing both girls on the cheek and sitting down for breakfast.
Akaya rolled her eyes. "I'm not a baby dad. At least not anymore."
"I know, but I might as well enjoy it while it lasts since you'll be leaving today." He said while stuffing a fork full of eggs in his mouth. Akaya just smiled at her father.
"You know the only reason we couldn't go back through the well is because ji-san and your grandmother passed away leaving the responsibility of taking care of the shrine to us. The money your father makes running the shrine wasn't sufficient to support all of us and I had to get a job to help out. And living in the feudal era would be too dangerous and I wanted you to live a normal life. But now you're old enough to go out on your own and make some of your own decisions and we trust you." Her mother said while piling some more food on to her father's plate in which he had already devoured his first serving.
Inuyasha who was sitting next to his daughter nudged her with his elbow and leaned in closer to her to whisper into her ear. Akaya responded and leaned in while her ears turned in his direction to catch what he was going to say. "You know, uncle Souta is gonna be in town with Sano, Yuki, and aunt Tetsami for a whole week from the U.S. He'll probably be bringing you something for your birthday. Are you sure you don't want to stay a little while longer until he gets here?" he said giving her his most convincing smile. Too bad it didn't work.
Inuyasha felt a newspaper come down on his head. "Hey! What was that for?!"
"Don't try to get her to change her mind! Let her make her own decisions and don't use Souta as a way to get her to stay! Humph, if you still had that rosary of yours I'd sit you about ten times right know!" she all but barked at him.
"Okay, okay! Geez! Is it wrong for a father to want to keep his baby around a little longer?"
Akaya laughed at her parent's silly antics. "Oh daddy you can be so restless." She said returning to her food.
Kagome smiled at them and turned around to start washing the dishes. 'He is restless. Every day he seems to get even more restless. He misses his time, he misses the freedom he had to run around and the adventures we had, I can see it in his eyes. He loves being out side just as much as Akaya does. They still like to sleep outside on the shrine grounds during warm summer nights. Akaya has become just as restless as he has. She's been talking about this trip for years now. She was packed and ready to go a whole week before for goodness sakes. Well at least she'll be able to see her old playmates again. I know she misses them a lot. She was only a little older than five when we had to come back here permanently. I bet Shippou and Taiken definitely miss her. They were best friends. The weird thing was that after Akaya was born for some reason Shippou was able to go through the well. I offered him a place here so he could live with us, but he had refused and I still to this day wonder why he never stayed since he refused to tell me. I always thought of him as a son, I wonder what he looks like now.'
"Hurry up and finish birthday girl, I got something to give you." Inuyasha said while handing his plate over to his mate and heading outside.
"Really?! Okay!" Akaya got up and handed her plate to her mother and ran outside after her father.
Inuyasha was sitting outside under the goshinboku tree. The tree in which she heard he had been trapped in for 50 years. She saw he was holding a sword that she immediately recognized as Tetsusaiga. (A/N: I hope I spelled that right.) She had seen the sword a few times before. Her father always liked to practice using his sword even if there wasn't anything for him to protect us from; she had always liked the way it went from a rusted out old sword to grand katakana, his fang. He had been training her for a few years now in swordsmenship, he wanted her to be able to protect herself in some way and insisted she learn. She went along with his persistence even though she could defend herself with just her youkia blood and she guessed that it went along for the better in the end. She sat down across from him and he leaned against the tree.
"Do you remember all of your training?" he asked in a Sirius tone that he rarely used around her.
"Yes daddy." She responded in what she hoped was a very respectful tone.
"This is my sword that I used to protect your mom with when we traveled around as you already know. I'm passing it on to you so you can protect yourself with until you get back."
Akaya had never imagined her father would ever let her hold onto his most prized possession and it was something she greatly admired. She looked down at the sheathed sword in awe, then her ears shot straight up and she lunged at her father giving him a tight embrace.
"I'm very honored, thank you so much daddy. I promise I'll take good care of it." She said trying her best to hold in her tears of joy.
Akaya pulled away and stuck Tetsusaiga through the belt loop hole in her shorts. She looked up at her father and smiled loving at him. "Lets get inside." He said while draping an arm over her shoulders and kissing her forehead.
Akaya had walked into the house and her mom had called them to the living room. "I know we had your party last weekend but I wanted to save this for today." Kagome said while pulling the shikon jewel from around her neck and placed it around Akaya's neck. "It was supposed to get purified after the wish was made and disappear but it never happened. It's gotten smaller but that's it. Hopefully you'll have enough miko in you to be able to fully purify it because it obviously wasn't meant for me to do so. You are now it's new protector. It will bring you some trouble during your trip but I know you'll be able to handle it. I also have a feeling that this is the right time for you to be receiving it, like it's your destiny." She smiled at her daughter and could feel tears stinging her eyes at seeing her daughter all grown up and getting ready to leave. Inuyasha grabbed her hand in reassurance giving her a light squeeze.
"Thank you, you guys probably think that this is going to be more like a trip to see my old friends but it's not. There's always been a part of me that feels empty and like I don't belong here and I'm not just going to see the others I'm going to see if I have any belonging there and if I can find what's to be filled in that empty space deep down." Akaya was trying really hard to hold back tears and was failing miserably. "I'm going to miss you guys." Kagome hugged her daughter and Inuyasha rubbed her back to calm her down.
"We'll miss you too." Kagome said.
"Come on, you should get going if you want to be on time." Inuyasha said while giving her one last hug before they all headed out the door.
They walked out to the well house and Akaya said her good byes.
"We love you Akaya." Kagome said and waved to her daughter.
"Yeah, say hi to everyone for us will ya? And keep away from Taiken, lord knows how the boy acts around women now." Inuyasha said still feeling a little reluctant about letting her go.
Akaya just laughed at her father sounding so protective of her. " Sure dad. Bye I'll miss you guys!" and she jumped down the well.
"Are you more worried about Taiken going after her or the youkias?" Kagome asked teasingly.
"Neither." He stated bluntly and thought about it for a minute. "She better not come back with a mate or pups or something 'cause she would be grounded for life." He said looking as Sirius as ever.
Kagome just laughed. "You should have more trust in our daughter."
"I do! It's those males out there that I don't trust!" he said clearly not knowing what was so funny about the whole situation. Kagome couldn't help but bust out laughing. "What's so funny?"
"Inuyasha you've never been this protective of her before."
"Well yeah! That's cause she's not here at arms reach if she gets into trouble." He said still not finding the humor in it all.
"Yeah your right, I'm going to miss her but we shouldn't worry, she's old enough to take care of herself."
"Feh!"
"Look at it this way. It will be just me and you for a while." She said smiling broadly.
"Are you being suggestive?" he asked.
"Yep." She responded while leaning up for a kiss. He imiedatly picked her up bridal style and walked back inside the house.
A moment later a shriek of laughter was herd from the old shrine house.
"Inuyasha! You horny bastard!" 0.o
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
