I don't own Inuyasha or Ranma ½
This is the sequel to Halfdemons, if you haven't read the first fic some parts may sound strange for you, so I advise you to do so before reading this story. If you have any questions, then put it in your review or e-mail me.
Another thing before I start, I'll be using some characters from Ranma ½ (In later chapters) I'll try to treat them like new characters, but if you need/want more information about them I recommend you to visit "www .furinkan. com".
Please Read & Review so I know if the stuff is good or not.
Chapter: 1 What seems to be the end of a normal day...
Twenty years have passed since Kagome's and Inuyasha's "wedding"; these twenty years have passed mostly uneventful, one or two meddling youkai every now and then but nothing serious. Kagome was busy with preparing the usual festival dinner that mostly consisted of ramen, while keeping an eye or to put it better one nose on her newborn pup. The little gray dog was just six weeks old but like every other Inuyoukai in this age he was busy, exploring the world, sniffling at everything what came into range
Kagome moved so she can see her pup while she sniffed at the food, /Hummm... it just needs a bit salt./ she thought.
After adding the needed ingredient and checking again she decided, that the food will be ok and made her way, to the homemade sofa, next to the opposite wall. Inuyasha made it for her, to ease her homesickness, she had everything she needed, but sometimes she really wished that she can just hop down the well and see how her family is doing, but the well was sealed and won't open up within the next four hundred years.
Kagome laid down, and enjoyed, the soft fluffy piece if furniture, since Kaede's death moments when she can forget about everything and do nothing were rare, ok there were some people in the village who knew how to heal, but she was the only one who knew what to do when there really was trouble.
After a few minutes of relaxing, she felt a weak tug on one of her ears, she opened one eye to see what's going on and saw her whelp pulling on her ear, the little dog gathered all his power, and pulled on her mothers flap with force.
/Good thing that his fangs are still short, Inuyasha wouldn't like it if he found out that our pup pierced my ear./ she thought, the tug become stronger and Kagome decided to end the fight.
She responded with an eartwitch that was so strong that it catapulted him into the air; Asaku landed on his mothers lap, and found himself in a tight hug. He struggled to regain his freedom but it was in vain he soon wore himself out and had to surrender to him mother. He gave out a whimper and Kagome understood, she pulled him up to her face and touched her nose to his, for this she was rewarded with a waggling tail.
The sweet mother-son moment was disturbed by a knock on the door. "Come in it's open!" yelled Kagome smelling Sango's scent.
The youkai exterminator entered and smiled at her friend. "What is it Kagome it's not like you to stay inside all day?"
"You remember what happened last time right?" Kagome said pointing to the boiling pot of ramen on the fireplace. Sango laughed too well knowing Kagome's reason for staying indoor.
"Yeah while you were busy trying to keep Inuyasha away from the ramen Izayoi took off with the entire ramen pot!" answered Sango.
"And the time before it was Inuyasha!" responded Kagome.
Meanwhile in another part of the forest father and daughter were skulking because their plans to steel the desired object that contained the desired food was foiled, by a certain raven-haired youkai.
Izayoi, who seemed to be around ten in human years, was playing with a piece of wood carving it into small chunks. "You'll distract mom, and I'll sneak out with the pot on the window!" she advised.
"Forget it pup last time we went after that plan she combed my back with the rake she uses to take care that herb garden of hers while you ate all the ramen!"
"At least she didn't turn into her true form, and use he claws on you like the time when you turned us into youkai."
"Show some respect pup!" warned Inuyasha.
"Sorry daddy."
"It's ok. But... how do you know that? I thought you were too little to remember." asked Inuyasha.
"Big brother told me about it." answered the little girl.
"Feh! We came to get some wood remember? We better get moving!" Inuyasha extended his claws, and used them to cunt down a suitable tree. "Cut down the smaller branches, and I'll chop the log!" he commanded.
The two went to work, and suddenly Izayoi had an idea. "Dad! I think it's time to stock the wood storage for winter!"
"What are you talking of? Were still in spring." snapped Inuyasha.
"And what if we can get our hands on the ramen?" responded Izayoi.
"Speak whelp!" said Inuyasha and pulled the ring from his finger to break the telepathic link with Kagome, Izayoi leaned close to whisper everything into her father's ears.
The small shed that sheltered the wood for winter started to fill up, and within the next hour it was completely filled. Izayoi made her way into the house while Inuyasha placed the last piece of wood on the top of the pile.
As the little girl entered Kagome and Sango immediately rushed to her side. "Izayoi you don't need to work so hard!" Kagome schooled, not noticing Inuyasha as he made his way into the house.
"But mommy I want to be strong like daddy!" squealed Izayoi in a girly voice.
/How the hell will I get you a mate.../ Kagome stopped her thoughts for a few seconds. /Dammit I starting to think like mom!/ she plastered a fake smile on her face, and whipped some sweat from her daughter's forehead.
Everything was all right, but something was nagging Kagome, like if she forgot about something. Then it hit her. Izayoi was trying to hold back a grin and this meant...
Kagome turned around to see that the ramen pot was missing... again. Then she looked over to the window and for a brief moment she saw a streak of white hair. She quickly turned to Izayoi but by that time the little girl was out of site, after slipping out between Sango's hands.
Kagome walked to the door, and gave out a sigh "I guess they won again. Good thing I sent out Shippo to hunt."
"But why do you even bother cooking ramen when you know that they always succeed stealing it." asked Sango.
"It's become a family game, I cook the ramen and try to defend it till dinner and they try to steal It." answered Kagome laughing at her choice of words.
=In the forest===============================================================
Two youkai were busy devouring their catch with the help of two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks when a certain perverted monk and three of his children bumped into them, he decided not to disturb the dogs and continued his way mumbling "Eighty-six to five." his kids tried to hold back the laugh, and failed badly.
As all this was happening Shippo was scanning the woods looking for dinner. He changed quite a bit over the ten years, not only did he grow up to Inuyasha's high, but also halfway accepted the possibility to become a dog, now he was a mix of dog, and fox. (In the last chapter of Halfdemons Inuyasha's wish gave him the opportunity to choose to become an Inuyoukai or not)
The only visible way that showed that he was no longer a pure kitsune were the two red-pelted dog-ears on the top of his head he always adored those cute ears, and now he had them.
He sniffed into the air and could smell several traces "So what do you want for dinner?" he asked from the female fox that was giving him company.
"I don't really know. You know I'm not a picky eater." she answered from behind a tree.
"How about we forget about the scents and go to the river to catch some fish?" suggested Shippo "It would certainly be a change."
"Oh no! I know the way you fish!" she protested.
"Come on Kioku! I have nothing against it if you see me naked."
"But I have!" Kioku answered as she stepped out from behind a tree wearing a green haori and hakama, both decorated with yellow symbols, carrying a second set of clothes on her hands. She was a bit shorter than Shippo had green eyes, and long red hair, and all this was enough to melt the male kitsune's heart.
"Then we catch the nearest pray and head back to moms." he answered.
"Good!" came the reply. The two youngsters sped up, not noticing that someone was watching them from the bushes.
Soon the foxes got close to their pray, a medium sized deer easy catch for Shippo, the animal made it even easier for him because they were only half a mile from home so the way back with the pray on his back was short. /Let's see roasted or sliced?/ asked Shippo from himself. /Sliced!/ he declared after a few seconds and leaped out of his hiding spot.
Shippo just got finished with the now dead deer when he heard a yelp from behind, and turned around to see what's going on.
He saw another kitsune who tried to pull Kioku away "You're mine! Don't you get it." yelled the newcomer.
Shippo knew him too well, and hated him even more. The other kitsune was not only constantly trying to swipe away his girlfriend, getting beat up over and over in the process, but once he even attacked Izayoi to show how "brave" he is and that he has the guts to attack a youkai from a race that is stronger than his, the only problem with the power demonstration was that both Inuyasha and Kagome were around, since then he's been running around with a set of clawmarks on his back.
"Akakit." Was the only word that left his mouth before emitting a long warning growl. "Let go of her before you get hurt!"
"Shut up runt I'm older then you so I'm the boss around here!"
"Says?" asked Shippo and charged forward two streaks of flame came at him, from the sides, but he dodged and continued his way, his opponent tried to get away when he saw that the attacks didn't even slow Shippo, but Kioku continued to struggle, so he had no way to get out of the proximity of Shippo's claws in time.
The next thing he saw was that Shippo's claws dug into his hand that seconds later Kioku was lifted from his side.
On his way back Shippo again dodged the kitsune-bi coming from the bushes, and landed in a safe distance from Akakit. "I'm really scared!" squealed Shippo while shaking his legs wildly, and trying to hold back a laugh. "You learned a new way to throw kitsune-bi." Then his voice turned to the opposite "With the help of your siblings! Go and bother someone else with your lame tricks!"
"I won't go till I get what is rightfully mine."
/Oh boy!/ thought Shippo /Now he's acting like Sesshoumaru. The only problem is that Sesshoumaru IS strong./ "Get out before I get nasty!" he warned.
"Really I'd like to see how you're going to beat us all up!" answered Akakit laughing at Shippo's statement "Don't you think brothers?" at his signal, six other foxes made their way out of the bushes.
Shippo just laughed "The more the merrier!" he answered /This could get rough./ he thought "What are you coming up with next time? You'll going bring along all your sisters to get beat up or what?" he said aloud /I need to find a way to get Kioku away from here I bet that scumbag will try to kidnap her while I'm fighting with his siblings./
A couple hundred feet away Inuyasha and Izayoi were finishing their meal, leaving the huge ramen pot empty. The two were about to lay down for and an early nap to digest the immense amount of food they've consumed when Izayoi's ear picked up Shippo's laughing.
"That pain in the ass must be messing with big brother again." she remarked.
Inuyasha nodded in agreement "Want to go and see the show?"
"Sure!" was the little girl's answer.
The two dogs sped up, and seconds later they were at the scene of the happenings. "Do you need some help?" asked Inuyasha.
"Be my guest dad!" answered Shippo.
"What is it are you afraid to fight with us without your half-breed father?" asked one of the foxes.
Inuyasha's eyes flashed red for a second. "I'll take the loudmouthed, and his older brothers!" he said to his adopted son.
"Come on dad I also want to have some fun the four young ones are hardly a challenge." Shippo whined.
"Ok take one of the older ones and for that I'll take one of the youngers. Agreed?" Suggested the white-haired dog.
"Agreed!" answered Shippo. "I'll take Akakit."
The meddling kitsunes were no longer grinning; with Inuyasha's appearance the tables got completely turned, now the fight that would have ended up in a tie became hopeless. Father and son both flexed their claws, and two of the kitsunes decided to make an exit. Izayoi sat down next to Kioku for a little chat while watching the fight. "So what do you think big sis, how long will they stand against pop and big bro?" she asked.
"I don't know a minute or so; five if Shippo and Inuyasha want to have some fun." Kioku answered.
"I hope they want play around with those thugs. It could be fun to watch them beat the crap out of those stupid kits."
"I think you spend too much time around your father!"
"I just like the way he talks!"
"I never noticed!" answered Kioku with truckloads of sarcasm in her voice.
Meanwhile the fight between the males started, Shippo quickly knocked out one of his opponents, who was still a little whelp, and started to work on his archenemy. Inuyasha was taking it a bit easier; he just dodged the attacks only returning them occasionally.
The three kitsunes decided to attack him in the same time, the inuyoukai stopped two of them by grabbing their hands, but he couldn't stop the third, instead he settled moving his head out of the attacks way. The fox didn't have time to realize what's going on and punched his own sibling. The two would have started a brawl because of the accident, but Inuyasha's claws reminded them that they were in the middle of a fight.
Shippo was enjoying himself greatly with Akakit beating the pesky kitsune to a pulp; the fox didn't even have the slightest chance against him,
/I guess I should end this nonsense./ he thought. Shippo formed his hand into a fist and gathered all his power. Akakit didn't care about the obvious signs of the counter attack, and continued trying to punch or cut Shippo and failed badly.
Shippo fired away his fist and the attack reached its target sending Akakit into the air and knocking him unconscious in the process.
Shippo smiled when he saw that his opponent didn't show any sign of consciousness and wanted to help his father, he turned around to see a kitsune flying directly at him, he jumped out of the way and the flying fox crashed into a tree coming to a rest at its bottom, apparently in deep slumber.
The last kitsune standing against the father-son team decided to leave the battlefield before he receives the beating of his life, and disappeared leaving behind six streaks of dust all of them heading in a different direction.
"Not a bad illusion, when you need to make an exit." remarked Shippo. /Maybe I should learn it./
He walked over to the dead deer and picked it up when he turned around he saw Akakit making his way to the females who now had their battle-faces plastered, and their claws armed.
"Shut up women!" yelled Akakit and reached for Kioku however a hand grabbed his arm and stopped him.
When he turned around he saw two growling youkai then he turned to the girls who were also growling. The camera moves to the sky and soon you can hear the sound of bumps, slashes, and desperate cries for mercy.
