Twins of the Past
Sadly I do not own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho - (sigh...)
CHAPTER 1 Blast to the past.
Kagome woke up to the sound of her alarm, she moved her arm to shut it off but instead knocked it off of the table beside her bed. She mumbled something under her breath that sounded suspiciously like 'Stupid alarm' before getting up. Yet in her hurry to get her alarm turned off that she didn't realise that her foot had gotten tangled in the sheets she slipped and fell face forward onto her floor and she muttered darkly under her breath. Suddenly she felt a breeze and she looked up to see her window open and a very amused hanyou sitting on the sill. His white hair billowed around him in the breeze and his golden eyes were glowing in the morning sun.
"What happened to you?" He asked the humor evident in his voice. (ooc I know but who says it has to be just like the anime?)
" I am having a fight with my sheets." She said sarcastically, pulling her foot free from the sheet and stood up stiffly. She walked away from the man who frastrated her as much as her little brother Souta. She shook her head and went to grab her school uniform from her closet and then walked across the hallway to the bathroom to change not bothering to look behind her at Inuyasha, who she knew would be waiting for her downstairs when she was done.
After changing into her shard hunting clothes and grabbing her yellow book bag from her room she hurried down the stairs and into the kitchen where the sight of delicious pancakes met her eyes. already at the table was her mother, Souta, grandpa, and her friend Inuyasha. who was scarfing them down like they would run away if he stopped to take a breath. She sweat dropped when he grabbed a pancake from her plate. She walked over to him after formally greeting her family and punched him on the head, almost instantly a goose egg became visible.
"Oww what was that for!?!" He exclaimed as he grabbed his head (more apprpriately his goose egg-)
" You are such a pig Inuyasha!" she said giving him a mock glare. He just ignored her and went back to scarfing his pancakes.
When they were done eating Inuyasha was impatiant to be off and stood by the shrine tapping his feet. Kagome rolled her eyes as she hugged her mother and on impulse her little brother Souta. Suddenly she felt a shiver go up her spine and a sense of dread overwhelmed her and she tried to shake it off but couldn't seem to. She called her self a fool and smacked her forehead but she still felt uneasy. She followed Inuyasha into the shrine after waving one final goodbye to her family. After going into the shrine she looked back once more to the door where light streamed into the shrine lighting the bone eaters well. She sighed and jumped over the edge of the well and into the past.
On the other side of the well she stood up and slowly climbed up the vines and out of the well where everything was deathly quiet not even the normal sounds of the forest were heard. Her uneasiness was growing by the second, she looked around to see if Inuyasha had waited for her and seeing that he had not she hurriedly made her way up the trail. All of a sudden she stopped short sensing many shards of the Shikon Jewel coming at her fast. And then she heard it a child calling her name from the opposite direction. She looked to see Ah and Un with Sesshomaru, Rin and Jaken.
"Kagome! Kagome!" Rin squealed jumping off the dragon's back she rushed over to the woman on whom she looked on as a second mother. Sesshomaru looked in the direction that Kagome sensed the jewel shards and then he was in front of her and Rin Tokiijin drawn his face as always remained impassive and expressionless. Oddly he felt a need to protect the miko from the oncoming danger. Evil laughter echoed around the forest and Kagome felt another shiver run up her spine, she grabbed her bow and an arrow from the quiver on her back and knocked the arrow ready to attack she stepped up closer to sesshomaru.
"Show yourself!" Kagome demanded.taking another step closer to the mencing laughter.
"Foolish woman! Have you no sense at all?" Sesshomaru asked nuetrally. A red blur came crashing through the trees and landed beside Kagome.
"Of course she doesn't, you should know that by now brother." Inuyasha said glaring at the girl who was looking straight ahead of her past the demns to somewere beyond the clearing. Slowly she took aim, and a voice cackled,
"You are a foolish girl. You cannot hit a target that you cannot see." it scoffed.
Kagome smiled and adjusted her aim.
"You are right. I can't hit something I can't see." She said as she let the arrow loose. She smiled with satisfaction as a scream of pain was heard.
"And if you didn't have jewel shards I wouldn't be able to see you." A minute later three more arrows had peirced the demon and it was crawling toward her on its hands and knees. Kagome pushed past her two self-appointed gaurdians to kneel beside the Youkai that was bleeding everywhere.
"Please... you are... the answer to... the prophecy. They will seek your life...(cough) You must take my shards to protect your self... a Taiyoukai such as yourself is a very valuable asset."
Slowly a hand reached out and placed a handful of shiny jewel fragments that pulsed with evil into her hands, immediately they were purified and Rin gasped and moved closer. Slowly the inky blackness that had covered the youkai dissapeared and a woman with pointed ears and long red hair was now visible her silver kimono was stained with blood and green eyes looked up at her and despite the arrows that were lodged in her body her face shone with joy and peace.
"Just who are you?" Inuyasha demanded as Kagome removed the arrows.
"I am the bearer of a prophecy, I am called Hotaru, and I have searched many centuries for you milady." she said bowing her head respectfuly to the young woman who was tending her wounds.
"I don't think that I am the one you are searching for."
"Why not?" She asked amused.
" Well I am not a Taiyoukai for one just a human miko." Kagome said quietly. The woman burst out laughing and the three who were around her fell over (anime style).
"What is so funny woman!?!" Sesshomaru asked sternly. Hotaru started to cough and Kagome
" You mean you really can't tell?" She asked receiving two glares and one questioning look.
"You are a Taiyoukai. You were born two centuries ago in the Western lands as the daughter of the most respected Taiyoukai of the land, but you were different you were gifted with more powerful coveted gifts than any other. Thus you were sent to the modern era to save you from prying hands and eyes. Later when a priestess who guarded the Shikon jewel died the jewel was secretly sent to the future and planted in your body so you would be able to travel to this era where you would be needed to save man and youkai alike along with your twin and half brothers."
"What!" Kagome yelled hurting all of the youkais ears.
"I do not have a twin or a half brother!"
"How can you say that when they so obviously strive to protect you?" Kagome could only gape at her.
"You don't mean that... It can't be true." She whispered her eyes wide with shock.
"Yes I do. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are your brothers.
