Sister Dearest

One day Inu Yasha and Kagome were walking through the woods looking for any sign of a shard. All of a sudden, an arrow whizzed right by Inu Yasha's ear.

"Who Goes There!" a voice boomed through the forest. Inu Yasha tried to pick up where the sound was coming from. But all he heard was the loud voice. It seemed to be coming from everywhere.

"Oh, it's just you," the Voice said, much less threatening and seemed to be from behind them. Inu Yasha spun around. "What da ya mean 'just me'?" He yelled at the Voice.

"I mean that it's just you, Inu Yasha, nothing special," the Voice said. It sounded feminine. Suddenly, a figure jumped from the tree behind them and somersaulted in front of them. The figure's back faced them and was mostly in shadow. The figure turned around and what they saw shocked them. It was a girl that looked almost exactly like Inu Yasha except her hair was longer and she was wearing a priestess's clothing. Inu Yasha bared his claws and teeth at the girl.

"Oh don't you bear your claws at me mister!" The mysterious person said.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Inu Yasha demanded.

"Oh don't play dumb with me, little brother."

"Little brother?" Inu Yasha said completely confused.

"Oh, I see that you're not playing, little brother. You must really not know your own sister."

"My own sister? I don't have a sister!" He yelled.

"Well, if I'm not your sister than why do we look alike?"

All this time Kagome had stayed quiet, now she finally said something. "Well, Inu Yasha, those looks don't lie. She really does seem like your sister."

"Ah! The girl speaks. What is your name?" Inu Yasha's sister asked Kagome.

"I'm Kagome Higurashi. Who are you?"

"Well you know that I'm Inu Yasha's older sister. My name is..." She was interrupted before she could finish.

"My darling, beautiful Mikago!" They all heard a new voice say. Mikago put her head in her hands and shook her head.

"Darling Mikago! What a wonderful day! You look lovely to- what is this witchcraft! That boy looks exactly like you!" the man who just arrived stated.

"Oh, that's just my little brother, Inu Yasha. No witchcraft, just genetics."

"Oh! Any relative of Mikago's will soon be my relative!"

"Uh, Mikago. What is that moron talking about?" Inu Yasha asked.

"He's just an idiot who's in love with me. He really hopes that he will win me over."

"But, darling! You always say that you want to help people and you want to protect them! How are you doing that by hurting me?" The man-with-no-name asked.

"How would I be able to help other people if you take me away from them!"

"You are so mean!" All this time, Kagome was inspecting the arrow shot at them. It looked vaguely familiar, like something she had seen not so long ago. All of a sudden, it came to her, she knew where she saw such an arrow and it was...

"Oh my god! This is like the arrow Inu Yasha had been shot with when I first met him! It looks like Kikyo's arrow!" she said in a whisper, but Inu Yasha over heard her just the same.

"WHAT!" He yelled. He quickly pushed away No name and grabbed Mikago by the collar. "Is what Kagome saying true? Is that the same arrow used on me by Kikyo?"

"Of course not! That one was destroyed by Kagome!" Mikago said with a sly smile. She pushed Inu Yasha's hands off of her collar.

"How did you know I broke the spell?" Kagome asked.

"Easy, I always have ways of spying on my little brother." Mikago said, pinching Inu Yasha's cheeks.

" Errr, LET GO OF ME!!!!!" Inu Yasha yelled, slapping Mikago's hands away.

"Awwww, don't be like that, your onee-chan meant nothing by it!" Kagome just sat there watching Inu Yasha yell and Mikago talk calmly going back and forth like a ping-pong match. She got so dizzy she fell down.

" Um...guys...? Can we go Inu Yasha?" Kagome asked. Kagome was feeling really dizzy and suddenly she had a feeling she knew. It snapped her out of her dizzy state.

"Inu Yasha! I feel a shard of the jewel and it's getting closer!" Inu Yasha turned towards Kagome.

"It's almost here!" Kagome practically yelled. The ground shook and a huge demon appeared from behind a few trees. Inu Yasha was about to take out the Tetsusaiga when Mikago grabbed a bow and some arrows and jumped into the tree she was originally in.

"Inu Yasha, hold it. Let me take care of this demon!" Mikago yelled. She strung her bow and fitted her arrow. She let the arrow fly and hit the demon right between the eyes. It fell with a crash and Inu Yasha and Kagome stared at her in bewilderment.

"How-how did you do that?" Inu Yasha asked, completely confused.

"Easily. You know how dad gave you the Tetsusaiga and Sesshomaru the Tensaiga? Well he gave me this bow and taught me archery. So, the boys have the swords and I have archery. Get it?"

"Kinda. Whatever." Inu Yasha was frustrated and looked away. Thinking about archery, he remembered the arrow shot at him. He turned to Mikago with a strange look in his eyes.

"Hey, Mikago. WHAT WAS WITH THE ARROW!?!?!?!?!" Inu Yasha asked, grabbing Mikago by the collar again.

"Well, just because you're my brother doesn't mean that I don't do my job of helping people. I was the one who fashioned all of the arrows Kikyo had. I really didn't think that it would be used against you." While Inu Yasha and Mikago were...hmmm, it wasn't exactly talking on Inu Yasha's part...hmmm, whatever. Kagome was getting the shard from the demon. She was also looking at the arrow used. She pulled it out and felt a similar feeling from the one she pulled from Inu Yasha in the beginning.
