chapter 1. Why
The trees passed so quickly it could make your head spin, if you weren't a demon. Kouga ran through the trees. He had smelt human blood and was slightly worried. He decided to check it out. He soon found himself in the village of Kaede. He had heard the old woman had died.
'20 years is a long time.' Kouga thought as he stopped suddenly. A small shrine, something was pulling him to it. He climbed steps onto a hill and there lay a shrine and a hut next to it. The hut was designed in a stragne way to be larger than normal. The shrine had special demon wards on them, to keep the demons away. A small barrior also protected it.
His gaze was drawn up when he saw a small boy running around. The boy was wearing a smaller and dimmer version of Inuyasha's outfit. His silver hair was short and his dog ears twitched as he ran. The boy was laughing at someone from inside the hut. Then the boys golden eyes fell onto Kouga.
"Ahh! Mommy! A Demon!" he cried as he ran back into the hut. As he ran in, someone ran out. He couldn't make out any features, becasue the moon had hidden itself behind the soft rising clouds. He could however, here the pulling of a bow string. Then he called out the first name that came to mind.
"Kagome." he said as he rushed forward. The person seemed stunned and dropped the bow when Kouga embraced them. "It's been 20 years Kagome. You look as young as ever." he complimented.
"Kouga?!" someone called from the entrance to the hut. He looked over and saw a slightly older Kagome standing in the entrance way. Kouga looked at the person he was hugging. He was slightly taller than her, so her first noticed her black dog like ears.
"Uh, do you mind, letting me go?" she asked. A shiver ran up Kouga's spine as she did. Her voice was musical, soft, enchanting, and calming. He slowly loosened his grip on her and she broke away instantly and walked towards Kagome. He got a good look at her now.
Her hair is black as the night sky itself and falls to her waist. It is held up in a strange thing on the back of her head.
"What's wrong with your hair?" he asked her. She turned around and looked at him with her deep and dark violet eyes.
"It's called a bun." she replied slightly annoyed with him. Her skin is a moonlight white with no flaws that he could see. Her movements were swift and graceful. She looked like a highly trained miko, from the fact that she wore miko robes and used the bow and arrow to attack.
She turned swiftly inside the house. Kagome stepped closer to Kouga.
"It's nice to see you again. Please come inside." she said while smiling at him. He gave her a weak smile as he entered the hut. He saw the little boy, he was in the arms of the woman he had hugged earlier. It looked as though he was sleeping. Kagome sat down on a mat and Kouga took a seat near her.
"Kouga, allow me to introduce some people. This charming young lady is, Sora. The little boy in her arms is Ronin. You already know Inuyasha." she said as he appeared at her side.
"He's the demon? You should have shot him Sora." he said as he sat down next to Kagome. Sora gigled slightly as she stood up.
"I'll put him to bed now." she said before leaving. She took a small bow to them and then walked away, to another part of the hut.
"Why are all these people in your home Kagome?" Kouga asked. Kagome laughed a little.
"They aren't just any people Kouga. They are our children." Kouga's eyes went large with surprise.
"Who exactly is our?" he asked slowly.
"Why, me and Kagome of course." Inuyasha replied quickly. Kouga stood up suddenly and left the hut. He ran down the steps and into the village below. He noticed that no one was around. He could hear laughter thought. He followed the sounds and found what looked to be a small festival.
"Of course. Today is the day that Naraku died 20 years ago." he said. He walked through the crouds of villagers unnoticed. He stopped when he saw a large bon fire with people dancing and singing around it. Then, he saw Sora. She was smiling and talking amoungst some of the villagers. His first loves daughter. Looking at her was painful to him. He looked away quickly, but something caught his eye.
Around her neck on the chain once used by Kikyo, was the sacred Shikon no Tama. It was full and glowing with purity. Someone like her, was guarding the jewel. On her back, lies a quiver full of arrows and a bow. She looked no different than before, except for the jewel.
The sudden sounds of swords clashing with claws, hit his sensitive ears. He looked up towards the forest. Apparently Sora heard it too. She took of a demon run into the forest. Kouga smirked at her speed and chased after her.
Sora emerged from the forest. She was standing next a wolf den. All the wolves were out, about, and fighting for their lives. Kouga emerged from the forest next. His eyes went wide at what her saw.
"Birds of Paradise?!" he exclaimed. "I thought we killed them all off! Why, why are they back?!" he cried again.
