Chapter 1
Kagome
The young miko of the village was fixing dinner for her husband who was away helping a neighboring village The miko smiled. 'InuYasha has been late a lot lately, what with helping everybody. What's gotten into him?' The thing that young Kagome hadn't realized was that her half-demon of a husband only helped people because he knew it's what Kagome would want him to do with his spare time. Of course after helping with their new pup, Mikomi.
As if summoned by thought, Kagome heard Mikomi's hungry wailing. The young miko walked over to her daughter, prepared to feed her. Kagome looked down at her young, beautiful daughter. Her demon blood showed in her appearance grately, even though she was only a quarter dog-demon. She had black hair, dog ears, golden eyes, two little fangs, and no claws. She had her fathers face. Her crying silenced as Kagome fed her and soon the child began to close its eyes again. Kagome sat Mikomi down in her bed, then continued to make dinner.
Miroku and Sango eventually got married and live in a nearby village. Miroku did eventually get Sango to bear his children. Three to be exact, with another on the way. Shippo goes and trains to get his fox-demon rank higher. They all visit each other regularly. Rin stayed with Kaede mostly, but still went on walks with Sessomaru everyday. Kagome was shocked at the little girl when she returned from the well. The little ten year old Rin she once knew was nearing age fifteen, and fast. The village that InuYasha and Kagome stayed in accepted InuYasha quickly and easily, knowing that they would gain a protector from him, and a miko for the village that had neither. Kagome was still in training with Kaede and she went to Kaede's hut everyday, but Kaede was getting old and could not fight as well as she used to.
Time passed and Kagome soon grew worried. InuYasha should be back by now. Kagome new that InuYasha could take care of himself. Naraku had been dead for over four years now but Kagome still worried over her mate whenever he was gone. He was never this late...
"Demon!" Kagome started at the scream of a villager. InuYasha wasn't here. She had to handle this, but she couldn't take Mikomi out there.
A little girl from he village ran into Kagome's hut. "Lady Kagome! There's a demon attacking! And I can't find InuYasha!"
"Alright, I'll try to take care of this," Kagome said, grabbing her arrows. "Watch Mikomi."
"Yes."
Kagome ran out, bow in hand. The demon wasn't easy to miss. It was huge. And she was on her own. The demon looked utterly familiar. We had faced it before. It looked like Jogenki. The demon that could read people's minds. But Jogenki had been a detachment from Naraku. But there was no point in thinking about where it had come from now, and Kagome knew she couldn't beat this demon. She started to shoot her arrows and at the same time she yelled for everyone to run away from the village.
The demon dodged every arrow and started to move closer to the young miko. Kagome started to back away, still trying to hit the demon. Just then, the demon swung forward with its huge, clawed arm and hit Kagome, almost tearing her arm.
If Kagome hadn't tried to dodge, she would have been killed in a second. The wounds in he arm weren't very deep, but they hurt immensely, and she whimpered in pain. Just then, she remembered some sutras that Miroku had given her. She wrapped one around her arrow and shot at the demon. This one went short but still far enough to hit its knee. The demon bellowed and as it tried to get the arrow and sutra out of its leg, Kagome shot another sutra. One that would freeze the demon in its current position.
Kagome shot, and it hit. The demon froze, but Kagome knew it wouldn't last long. Kagome ran back to her hut, still in agony, to retrieve her daughter, and run. She didn't care where. She just ran.
InuYasha
'Who knew how much work one little demon infested village needed to just rebuild a stupid hut? On top of the fact that they wanted me to make another one! Ungrateful little bastards. I could use a little more than a thank you! ... At least Kagome will be happy... after I tell her why I was late.' InuYasha was on his way back to the village, his daughter, and his beautiful mate. He only did these things to please her.
'I'm luckier than other half-demons. My mother died of illness, she wasn't killed by villagers like every other mother of a half-demon. I never knew my father. He died protecting my mother and I.' Those weren't the things that InuYasha thought he was lucky for. 'And I have Kagome. And I could never forget my... our pup. Most half-demons die alone.'
InuYasha was only a few miles from the village. From Kagome. He couldn't wait to get home, to his little hut, and his family.
Then he smelled blood. He smelled lots of blood. From the villagers. He started running as fast as he could, praying that she was alright. Then he stopped short. Kagome's blood had been spilled.
"NO!" InuYasha screamed at himself. "KAGOME!"
He finally had arrived at the village to see a huge demon that seemed to be frozen in its place, lots of arrows on the ground, and lots of blood. He saw blood on the claws of the demon, and it smelled like Kagome's. InuYasha didn't waste any time. He pulled out his Tetsiega and blew the demon to pieces. He didn't stop to check if the demon had survived or not.
InuYasha ran to the hut but paused as he smelled Kagome's blood splattered on he side of the hut. He growled and ran into the hut. There was a blood trail to Mikomi's bed and one that left.
InuYasha ran out side. He didn't check to see if the demon had survived. He blew it off and started to follow Kagome and Mikomi's trail that led into the forest.
