Note before the start of this story -chan at the end of their name signifies the individual being in their cursed form for the ones that the curse turns them female.

Since they where only seen briefly in the last book what follows is a description of Inuyasha and Kagome's children by birth to date. At this time they are 12 human years old.

Ayano: girl the oldest of the six. Silver hair dog ears to big for her head (meaning it looks like she needs to grow into them) and Ice blue eye's.

Yuuta: Boy the second child. Black and silver striped hair is full demon one gold eye one emerald green eye. His tail is the same color as his hair. Ages like a demon as well

Ryo: boy the third child. Born as dog. Silver hair black dog ears Emerald green eyes without pupils he also inherited his fathers Jusenkyo curse.

Shizuka: girl the fourth child. Black hair human ears golden eyes without pupils

Miu: girl the fifth child. Born as Dragon. Human ears silver hair with black tips about 4 in. from the end one Ice blue eye one gold eye. The ability to turn into a dragon and a full size dog demon, and the special abilities of either as she needs in her hanyou form. Though her dragon attributes are more helpful in her hanyou form.

Sakura: girl the sixth child. Red hair Steel gray eyes Her ears have silver tips her tail same coloration as her ears. Able to turn full dog demon but looks fox like.

All of the children have the sharpened senses of their demon blood whether they look human or not. And their preferred form is what they where born as

All hanyou age to age 6 by 3 years old. To age 12 by 7 years old. Afterwards they age till they appear 16 at 13 years old then aging drastically slows so that they only age a year every 200 or 300 years. Full demons age like humans till 15 or 16 years of age then slow in about a year so that they only age a year every 200 or 300 years.

New Struggles Ch 1

"Talking"

'Thinking'

'Talking as animal'

A frightened kitsune ran through the night jungle to escape her captors on a continent that she was a stranger too. The thing that set her off from other kitsune was her pink fur. Which made her highly prized as a slave in some far off land. She heard noise behind her looking back she saw that it was her pursuers she would have made it if not for the root her foot snagged on causing her to crash to the ground. Before she could rise again the haft of a spear hit her on the head knocking her out her last thought before blacking out was. 'Someone help me please.'

"Help help help." Was the cry that rang out from one Shizuka Taisho to any who could hear.

"Come on Shizuka you know that you can't be heard." Taunted her older brother Yuuta.

A voice rang out through the night. "Yuuta stop messing with your sister."

"Yes Otousan." the young demon replied as he reluctantly released his captive.

When she was released she ran to her father to be comforted after her brother humiliated her.

"Yuuta you know that you need to practice some restraint during training." Inuyasha scolded. "Do I need to send you to your uncle Sesshomaru for a lesson when he returns?"

With a horrified look he barely stuttered out. "N-n-n-no Otousan." Not wishing endure one of his uncles training sessions.

"Don't be to hard on him Inuyasha. Besides Sakura needs to learn not to be so timid." This coming from Inuyasha's mate Kagome as she walked into the clearing.

Inuyasha didn't quite get out of the way fast enough for in the place of the silver haired inuhanyou was a red-headed six-tailed female kitsune hanyou.

"Sakura that was uncalled for." The now female Inuyasha said as a two-tailed inuhanyou jumped from a nearby tree.(AN: Even if Inuyasha's curse was sealed away when he and Kagome mated it was still in his DNA code so this daughter inherited the more Kitsune characteristics. Including growing multiple tails as they got stronger.)

"But Otousan you yourself said that during these training sessions anything goes." Then as an afterthought Sakura said. "That is as long we didn't injure ourselves or our siblings to badly."

"True. So even though I would rather not stay in this form I can say that you got me."

"I would say that she got you good." said Ayano the first born of the sextuplets as she drug her unconscious brother Ryo into the clearing.

"Ayano what did you this time?" Inuyasha-chan asked sighing.

"To which one?" She asked looking at her other siblings.

"Did you do anything to anyone else tonight?" Kagome asked a little to sweetly.

Shuddering at her mothers tone Ayano replied. "Not tonight that I'm aware of."

"Need I remind you two that there is no reason to pick on the ones that are basically blind?"

"Inuyasha I tell you time and again that they can't see in the normal sense and that it's dependent on the weather for how well they see." Kagome told her mate.(AN: Just for my readers. Because Inuyasha already knows this. But Ryo and Shizuka see thermal radiation. Basically they see your heat signature. PM me if you would like a more thorough explanation.)

"I'm aware of this but they need to learn to use their other senses as well. Because they're relying on vision to much. Their more balanced siblings are easily jumping them."

Walking over to Ryo with a bucket of cold water to wake him up looking at Ayano questioningly.

"What?"

"You didn't rig his clothes to fall off this time. Right?"

Rolling her eyes Ayano said. "Of course not."

"Just checking." Inuyasha-chan asked as she poured the water on Ryo's head.

The now female Ryo awoke holding his head and asked. "What happened?"

To this Inuyasha-chan replied. "I would say that your sister clocked you. AGAIN."

Groaning Ryo-chan reverted to her animal form to recuperate.

Roar(AN:the shrill roar you hear from dragons in movies take your pick which version)

"It sounds like your sister is back." Kagome said as light green dragon the size a bus (a greyhound by the way) glided into the clearing depositing her catch of deer before landing.

Shizuka latched onto Miu's snout as soon as it was in reach.

"Miu your back." She chanted as Miu changed to her hanyou form.

"Of course sister. Geez you would think that I was gone for a month rather than just two days."

"So what's the news Miu." Inuyasha-chan asked.

"Would you and Ryo like some hot water first?"

"Yes Please."'Yes Please.' Both said at the same time.

Smiling Miu proceeded to heat the buckets of water her mother had brought with her. By means of her super hot breath.

"Now that feels good." Inuyasha said after he poured the water over himself.

'You said it Otousan.' Ryo rumbled out after Miu poured the bucket over him.

"So what's the news?" Kagome asked.

"According to Totosai if Uncle Sota keeps up like he is he'll be a full-fledged sword smith way ahead of schedule. Aunt Sango also said we need to come visit sometime."

"I'm assuming that she was at Totosai's for a weapon repair?" Inuyasha asked.

"Nope she was there for a new weapon to be forged." came Miu's reply.

"I always thought that being from the demon slayer village she would make her own." Kagome said.

Ayano put in. "She only has one arm so that seriously decreases her ability to work the demon bones. Correct?"

"Anyways Sesshomaru still isn't back from his latest journey to the mainland so Rin is still staying at Totosai's."

"I hope those two are behaving." Kagome said.

"They appeared to have been. And some of the villages at the edges of the western lands are having issues with various rouge demons."

"Well we can't do to much about those demons except destroy them as we hear about them." Inuyasha stated.

"Is that all?" Miu's siblings asked.

"Ya pretty much."

"In other words not much is going on." Ayano said.

"Do you want me to singe your fur again?" a peeved Miu asked.

"No not really."

"Then quit stating the obvious."

"Okay you two I would say that it's about time to call it day." Kagome said as she started hustling her litter toward the castle.
