Disclaimer: I do not own the anime " InuYasha" or any of it's characters. But I do own this story. I also own Azuko and Momo. They're mine!
Last time: InuYasha got out of his daze and blushed. Kagome sat on Goshinbuko's roots and InuYasha joined her. Kagome sighed happily. " The stars are so beautiful in this era." She said dreamily. InuYasha smiled at her. She smiled back. " Kagome, there's something I got to say to you." He whispered. She smiled. " I love you," He blurted. She squealed happily. " I love you too!" She said, hugging him tightly. When Kagome calmed down, they kissed passionately. When they parted they just sat in each other's arms, watching the night, not knowing the drama that was to come…
Chapter 2: Demons And Half- Breeds
The old man at the village bridge saw them in the distance, two women in kimonos. One had light pink hair, pale blue eyes, and a dark blue kimono. The other had dark purple hair, lime green eyes, and a maroon kimono. Both had a bag of possessions on their backs, large wide rimmed wooden hats covering their faces from the scorching sun. They approached slowly, talking to each other in hushed voices. The old man smiled happily. It had been a long time since women as beautiful as them had passed though this village. " Hello my dear ladies!" He called, getting their attention. The pink haired one glared. This old bat was a pervert. " Hello, sir. Can you please help us?" The purpled haired one asked, bowing with respect.
" Why, of course. Do you mind if I ask your names?" The old man asked. " Azuko." The pink haired one answered. " Momo" The purple haired one answered. The old man nodded.
" Okay. What is it that is troubling you two young ladies?" He asked. Azuko sighed. " Our problem, sir, is that we have no where to spend the night. You see, our village was slaughtered by demons and we are the only two survivors." She said, wiping a fake tear. " How awful!" The old man gasped. Azuko and Momo smirked to themselves. This man was not only a pervert, but also a fool. " Can you please help us sir?" Momo asked innocently. " Of course. Follow me." He said, walking toward the village. He believes us! Can't this old fool sense our strong demonic aura? Mom telepathed to Azuko. Azuko snorted slightly. Of course not, sister dear. We are wearing the rings we stole of that old fool: Totosai, remember? Azuko telepathed back. Momo smiled. The old man led them through the village, several people staring at them. They followed him to a large shrine. " You may stay here as long as you wish. No one has lived here in years. If you two need anything, my hut is at the edge of the village." The old man said sweetly. Azuko tried not to puke. Momo nudged Azuko with her elbow and grinned. " Thank you, sir." They both said in unison, bowing. " Oh, it is quite all right. And call me Himbu." The old man said turning to leave. Once he was back at the bridge, the girls sighed. " Old bat!" Azuko growled. Momo nodded. Azuko walked around the shrine checking each room for privacy purposes. Momo walked out to the back and surveyed the land. There was a small lake with some fish in it, perfect catches for dinner. "Done?" Momo called out. Azuko came out the sliding door and smiled. " Perfect. It will be nightfall soon. Catch us some dinner and I'll start a fire in that fire pit I found." Azuko said, about to go in. " How are we supposed to do that if we aren't demons at the moment, sister dear?" Momo asked. Azuko growled. " Are you dumb or something? Just transform! But be careful. The old bat can come by at any time and if he sees you, we will have to slaughter the whole village to hide our tracks. Got it?" Azuko said sternly. Mom nodded. With a quick snap of their fingers, Momo and Azuko transformed into their demon forms. Azuko was a wolf demon with large wolf ears atop her skull, a large bushy tail, long claws and huge fangs. Momo was a cat demon with large cat ears atop her skull, a long thin cat tail, long claws and large fangs. They wore pelts as clothing and boots made of the same material as their clothes. Azuko went inside as Momo turned toward the water. Kneeling down, she extended her claws at the fish. She liked her lips, stopping her self from watering at the mouth. " Fish dinner; here I come!"
Azuko sat on the roof. She had lit the fire a little while ago and just wanted to relax before dinner. She laid down and swatted fireflies with her tail. Looking up at the sky, she let her mind wander. To her and Momo's journey so far, to her other two sisters; Kanna and Kagura, to Naraku, and finally to InuYasha and his clan. She narrowed her eyes at the thought of InuYasha and his clan. They all had a hand in Naraku's death. They caused Momo and herself to have no master, no home. Since then, they would go to a village as normal women and have everyone in the village fooled. But then someone would find out they were really demon incarnations of Naraku and try to attack them. So Azuko and Momo would slaughter and burn down the village to hide their tracks. Then they would go to the next town, only to have the same thing happen again. She groaned as she sat up. She was so tired; she didn't want dinner. Only sleep. She yawned widely, her fangs fully exposed. I need a plan… She thought to herself. I need a way to destroy InuYasha and his clan, but how? She closed her eyes and tried to think back. She began to remember something Naraku told her a long time ago but…. It was blurry now. She sat up and growled. Remember, dammit. Remember…
" Azuko!" Called Momo. Azuko opened her eyes. She almost had it. " What?" She replied. " Dinners ready! Want some?" Momo asked, her eyes hopeful. Azuko groaned. Momo wanted to eat all the fish and she knew it. " No. You eat. I'm not hungry." She closed her eyes again, thinking Momo would squeal happily and go dine but instead, Momo jumped onto the roof and stared at Azuko. " What?" Azuko asked opening her eyes. Lime green cat eyes stared back at her. " What are you thinking about?" She asked. Azuko closed her eyes again and snorted. " None of you business, baka. Now go eat or I'll eat all of it for you." Momo yelped and jumped down off the roof and into the shrine. Azuko smirked. Idiot. Now where was I? Oh, yes. Something Naraku told me…Think, think…it was so long ago…Dammit! All I can remember was that it was about that half-breed; InuYasha…Something about his past…I got it! Now I remember! It was when Momo went to hunt for food, so long ago…
The room was dark, only a dim candle in the back of the room. Azuko was in her demon form but wearing the kimono, since the castle was so cold. Naraku sat by the window, staring into the night's sky with cold eyes. Azuko closed the door behind her, hoping not to draw attention to herself and disrupt Naraku's train of thought. " Azuko… Have a seat…" He said without moving. Azuko complied and sat on a small mat in front of Naraku. She stared at him with great interest.
"What is it that you need Master Naraku?" Azuko asked. Naraku turned towards her, his eyes still cold. " I will die at the hands of InuYasha one day… and you and Momo will have to carry on with my doings." He said. Azuko sighed. " You have already told me that Master Naraku. What is it that you REALLY want to tell me?" She asked, trying to hide her impatients. Naraku chuckled. " Let me ask you a question. Do you REALLY think InuYasha was an only child?" He said with a slight smile. Azuko cocked an eyebrow. What was he talking about? " Do I think he was an only child? Yes, from what you told me." She said simply. Naraku's eyes gleamed with excitement. Azuko didn't understand. " What? He had a sibling?" She asked laughing. Naraku's face became serious to prove his point. Azuko saw this and gasped. " He- he did?" Naraku nodded with a smile. " A twin to be specific. A twin sister. Although, she was known for being the runt of both of them." Naraku said. Azuko couldn't believe it! A twin sister! How come she was never told of this up until now? " Why would I want to know this?" She said with a slight attitude. " Don't you want to know what happened to her? If she's still alive?" Azuko saw how bad Naraku wanted to tell her this story, so she complied. " All right. Tell me the story." She said. Naraku smiled. " It was 50 years ago when I met Kikyo. At first, it was only she and I, and I loved her so. But one day, she came and told me that two inuhanyous had come to stay at the village; InuYasha and his twin sister; InuSasha. Kikyo hated InuSasha from the minute she met her. InuSasha was psychic, you see, and had told Keade that she had seen Kikyo dying at the hands of a half-breed. Of course Kikyo was appalled. But forgot about it when she stared falling for InuYasha. At the height of their relationship, she told me that InuYasha was to turn human with the Shikon Jewel, making it disappear and giving Kikyo the normal life she always wanted. But InuSasha found out and stopped InuYasha, angering Kikyo. So, Kikyo decided to banish InuSasha from the village but had no way of doing so. But one day, a demon had slaughtered a nearby village. Kikyo killed the demon and found out that there were no survivors. It was the perfect opportunity to frame InuSasha and get her banished. Kikyo told InuYasha her lie and he believed her, fooled by love. InuYasha banished InuSasha himself, which hurt InuSasha deeply. Her brother was all she had left and now, he betrayed her. Days later, Kikyo went looking for InuSasha, priestess arrows on hand. She planned on pinning InuSasha to a Tree Of Ages, the only tree that could with hold the power of Kikyo's arrows. Kikyo found InuSasha and roughed her up a bit, weakening her so she would get pinned more easily. Needless to say, Kikyo's plan worked and InuSasha was pinned to the Tree Of Ages in the mountains, as far from the village as possible. I believe she is still there to this day." Naraku said with a smirk. Azuko was quiet. She had to process what she just heard. " Does- does InuYasha know that his sister was pinned?" Azuko asked, her mind swimming. " No. Kikyo lied to him and told him that InuSasha was slaughtered by demons. He does not know that Kikyo did that nor that InuSasha is still alive." Naraku said, turning his attention back to the night's sky. Azuko stayed silent for a bit before speaking. " How- how will that be…USEFUL?" She asked. He smiled and closed his eyes.
" Just wait. It will be, someday…"
Azuko opened her eyes and looked around her. She was still on the roof of the old shrine but it was very late at night. Now she fully understood what Naraku meant. She sat up and looked up at the sky. Even though Naraku was a tyrant, she still missed him. He was kinder to Momo and herself, more that he was to their now deceased sisters; Kanna and Kagura. But of course, they had brought that on themselves, betraying Naraku, thinking he was dead and helping Kaguya, the fake celestial maiden. She had killed them before Naraku even got the opportunity. Azuko sighed and swatted a firefly with her tail. All this hiding from InuYasha and his clan had worn her out. But we still have to hide… We don't want to suffer the same fate as Naraku… She reached into her shirt and pulled out her necklace, the chunk of the Shikon Jewel Naraku once possessed attached to it. It glistened in the moonlight, gleaming with its purity. Why is it so pure? I'm a demon, aren't I not? It's supposed to be black. She growled and put the jewel away. She quickly jumped off the roof and went into the shrine; Momo's snoring pouring though…
Chapter 3: Kouga's Findings And InuYasha's Guilt!
A/N: I know I said it was longer, but I'm copying and pasting from another document I have saved on my computer. Sorry! Thanks for reading and don't forget to review! Want a little preview of the next chapter? Here it goes:
Next Time: Kouga stopped at the forest entrance and sniffed the air. The scent was coming from inside the forest. He also smelled blood but it was all dried up. Junta and Mounta came huffing up behind him, clearly out of breath. " It's coming from in here." Kouga said. The lackeys were too out of breath to speak. Kouga walked into the forest, occasionally sniffing the air to see what direction he should go in. Mounta and Junta were right behind him; glad he wasn't running any more. Kouga stopped by a bunch of trees. " It's- it's coming from the tallest tree in the forest." He said sniffing around once more. Junta and Mounta did the same. " Is that the scent of a women inuhanyou, Kouga?" Junta asked. Kouga smiled. " Yup. Mate material possibly." And he started running again. He stopped at the Tree Of Ages, frozen by the sight in front of him. Junta and Mounta joined him minutes later, gasping for air. " What (gasp) is (gasp) it (gasp) Kouga? (Gasp)" Mounta said nearly collapsing from the fatigue. "She- she looks just like InuYasha…" Kouga managed, too shocked to say anything taunting about InuYasha. The lackeys looked up and gasped. Kouga was right! This girl did look like InuYasha! She had long white hair, forelocks, claws, and the signature fire rat hairo, but this girl's was blue. She looked as if sleeping but had a scar from battle on her face. Giant thorny roots gripped her body to the tree and a priestess arrow was lodged in her shoulder, pinning her to the tree and causing her spell. She looked so peaceful. Her dog-ears were unmoving. " Who- who is she?" Junta asked, breaking Kouga's train of thought. " I- I don't know." He replied. Mounta looked at the girl more closely and sniffed for her scent. " She has to be his sibling. She smells just like him but if he were a women." Mounta said as Junta nodded. " Maybe…" But Kouga was cut off.
" Kouga!" Yelled a familiar voice from behind them.
A/N: Sound good? If I got Kouga's lacky's names wrong, tell me in the review. But, I won't update until I get at least five reviews. So, review on peoples!
