Crystal tears
Chapter 1: Itacha of the Makiori clan.
Summary: A young girl stubbles upon the Inu-gang. Who is she? And why is she calling Inuyasha 'Master'!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha & co. I do own Sayaku, Itacha, and Kyrei! But sadly Rumiko-san owns Inuyasha.
Inuyasha: Would you just get on with it!
Keli: Where the hell did you come from!
Kagome: Backstage duh! Now get on with it!
Keli: Fine.
"HELP" screamed someone bursting out of the bushes. A silver head turned around and golden eyes went wide with shock. The girl standing before him had shreds of cloths that barely covered her body.
"Master Inuyasha!" Said the girl in shock and relief.
"Master?" Said a girl with dark brown hair and bright blue eyes.
"No one has called me master since the servants at the castle where my mother lived… I'm just Inuyasha now." Inuyasha explained.
"Master… Uh I mean Inuyasha please help me! They are going to hang Kyrei!" said the girl fast enough to get the message across but still pretty fast.
"Who are you!?" Inuyasha said frightening the girl who was already skittish.
"I am Itacha! Please do not tell me you have already forgotten the only half-demon servant in your lands!" Itacha said frightened of her 'lord'.
"Kagome get her clothes!" he said looking to the blue eyed girl.
"Okay I have a priestess outfit but that's the only piece of garment I have that might be familiar to you," she said swinging a yellow book bag off of her shoulder.
"Thank you but I am only Itacha of the Makiori clan… I do not deserve such kind gestures for I am only a half demon servant of the Izayoi castle. I am not a pure being I just ask you save my sister Kyrei she is only but a child!" Itacha protested.
"It doesn't matter you still deserve to dress appropriately!" said another girl. "I am Sango. She as you already know is Kagome." Sango went over to the girl and guided her to a hot spring not far from the clearing where they once were.
"Why are you so kind to a half demon?" Itacha asked with her face twisted in confusion. Her eyes were pink and she had fox ears on the top of her head. Her hair was a light shade of purple and reached just past her knees.
"You are a living being and you do not deserve to be treated any less than such so get in the hot spring cleanse yourself and put these on." Kagome said sternly pointing to the garments she placed a flat rock close to where she was standing. Itacha nodded and did as told. The girls joined her in the hot spring and relaxed for a second.
"So what's your demon half?" Sango asked tilting her head to the side.
"I'm half fox demon." Itacha said sinking into the water.
"That's great! Shippou is fox demon!" Kagome said doing a little jump in the water.
"You belong to one weird pack. Who knew Inuyasha would start a pack! You must be the alpha female right Kagome?" Itacha asked and Kagome choked on her spit.
"Ummmm, I guess you could say that. But I'm not from the feudal era." Kagome said before she caught herself.
"But your pack consists of three males and two females and it seems that you are more dominating than Sango. By the way you smell you are mostly traveling by the hands of lord Inuyasha." Itacha said.
"Okay see I'm from a different time. I'm the reincarnate of the priestess Kikyou. I met Inuyasha pinned to a tree. First to join our make sift family was Shippou not long after we met the inert monk Miroku then we met Sango the demon slayer. I travel from my time to help them defeat Naraku who is the person who brought us together. I am also the reason for the Sacred jewel being shattered. I do ride on Inuyasha's back a lot but only to lead him to the jewel seeing as I'm the only one who can sense and purify the jewel. Miroku, the monk, is the biggest lecher of all time! Trust me, plus he's got the hits for Sango!" Kagome explained their story in layman's terms to Itacha.
"Oh, but your still the female pack leader. Master Inuyasha hasn't looked at a female the way he looks at you. I've heard about the priestess who shattered the jewel. They said she was from another era. And you claim it you. Can you tell me about your era!?" Itacha said getting more and more interested in Kagome.
"Well my era has huge buildings that almost seemingly touch the sky. They are called skyscrapers. And we don't use horses anymore though people ride them for fun they are no longer the primary form of transportation. In my time we use cars or bicycles or skates or skate boards." Kagome explained.
"They no longer have lords or masters in her time either. They all live under one Government." Sango took over.
"What about you taijiya, how did you become a part of the pack?" Itacha asked curiously.
"I joined because Naraku killed my kind and now holds my younger brother Kohaku in slavery." Sango narrowed her eyes to the water in front of her. "I swore one day I'll murder that baka yarou with no conscience what so ever!"
"Okay! I get that you hate the guy! What about the inert monk, you said his name was Miroku?" She pressed on now knowing her limits with Sango.
"Miroku's family was cursed with a Kazaana in the right hand. He must kill Naraku for the curse to be broken." Kagome and Sango explained together.
"And the fox kit? What about him and the neko?" Itacha said looking happy that there was another of her kind in the pack. 'He's so small and cute! He's full blooded Youkai too! Like Sayaku!' she thought.
"Shippou joined us because he is orphaned because of the thunder brothers Hiten and Manten who had shards of the Sacred Shikon Jewel." Kagome explained.
"Kirara, the neko you saw, came with me because she was the only one I had left. We later found out that she was also loyal to the priestess Midoriko. The priestess who created the Shikon Jewel." Sango explained.
"Like I said you guys are a real weird pack." Itacha climbed out of the hot spring after washing herself with the things Kagome handed her. The others climbed out as well and they dried and got dressed. Itacha in a priestess garments like Kikyou's only the pants were light blue. Kagome in her school uniform and Sango in her taijiya outfit then a traditional kimono.
They walked back into the clearing. The boys had already started dinner which was a wild boar that Inuyasha caught probably moments before.
Kagome got started on the soy and honey mix called Teriyaki. Inuyasha cut the boar to strips and Sango got started on the ramen while Miroku worked on the fire. Itacha watched amazed as they all worked never doubling something or bumping into each other. The fox kit came to her and sniffed at her feet. She bent down and picked him up.
"You're a fox Youkai like me right?" he asked looking into her pink eyes.
"Yeah only I'm not full Youkai. I'm hanyou." Itacha said sitting against a tree.
"That's okay! Kagome's my mom so you can be my sister okay?" He beamed up at her and she couldn't help but smile back.
Kagome looked onto the scene that played before her.
"Itacha how old are you?" Kagome asked while dipping the meat in the teriyaki sauce.
"Me? I'm…" she counted on her fingers with her face contorted in concentration, "251 years old!" she said triumphantly.
"In human years your 17 right!" Sango said looking up from the ramen for a second before looking back at the boiling noodles.
"Yeah! Same age as Inuyasha no?" Itacha said looking at said hanyou. He nodded and she sighed. She noticed more than one change in her master. For one he looks as if he has found his mate but at the same time he seems grumpier, sadder.
"Hey so you know how to fight?" Sango and Kagome asked at the same time.
"Yeah. But my katakana got taken away by the lord who took master Inuyasha's place. He said that women shouldn't be allowed to fight. He whipped me and Kyrei every night. He's a Youkai, a snake Youkai. He's cruel and mean and evil. He ordered Kyrei to be the personal servant to his pervert of a son and when she refused to have sex with him he threw me at him and said that if I don't sleep with him then I'll get 1000 lashes." She finished talking and everyone raised an eyebrow.
"Ya didn't do it did ya?" Inuyasha asked with genuine curiosity.
"What kind of whore do you take me for Inuyasha!?" Itacha said angrily.
"I never said you're a whore I simply asked if you did it!" Inuyasha replied with as much fire.
"Well I didn't! I'm waiting for my chosen mate. I haven't found him yet so…" Itacha said sticking her tongue out at him.
"You're so annoying" Inuyasha said grumpily.
"And you're easy to be around?" Itacha said standing up.
"Sure as hell easier than you!" Inuyasha retaliated also jumping to his feet.
"Oh yeah! I'm sure everyone here agrees that you're a pain in the ass!" Itacha said motioning at everyone in the clearing.
"You don't even know them, how do you know that you're not the pain in the ass to them!?" Inuyasha said glaring at her dangerously.
"I know a lot about them and their attitudes thanks to the chat me and the girls had in the hot spring! I know Miroku has a Kazaana in his right hand and can also use ofuda's and his monks' staff and he's the biggest pervert ever introduced to the world. And that he has the hits for Sango" Itacha was determined to show him how much she knew.
"I know that Kagome comes through a well to this time from her own and she's your ice miko's incarnate and that she has the power to seek and purify the shards of the Shikon Jewel. I know that Sango is a taijiya and that she lost her friends family and all the people in her village to a hanyou named Naraku and that he controls her brother with a Shikon jewel shard and that she is skilled with her giant boomerang Hiraikotsu and that she is also very good with a katana." Itacha yelled.
"I know that Shippou lost his parents to the thunder brothers Hiten and Manten who had sacred jewel shards embedded in their foreheads and that Kagome is like his adoptive mother. I know Kirara was once loyal to the priestess Midoriko! I also know that the sword on you're hilt is the legendary Tetsusaiga and you're older brother Sesshoumaru wields the great Tenseiga." Itacha screamed walking up to him.
"Sesshoumaru also wields the sword Toukijin which was forged from the demon bone of Goshinki and was forged by Kaijinbo who was later possessed by it and that Sesshoumaru is the only one who can suppress its demon aura and is followed by the human girl Rin and the imp Jaken. Ah-Un is the dragon Youkai that carries Rin around when she is tiered. Totosai is the sword smith that forged Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga. Old man Myoga is the one that was supposed to be guarding the tomb of your father that was in the black pearl in your right eye, which was also where Tetsusaiga was hidden." Itacha said shoving him.
"You were pinned to a tree for 50 years till Kagome removed the arrow that pierced your heart and Old woman Kaede said she was ice bitches incarnate. YOU had fallen in love with Kikyou and now YOU'RE in love with Kagome. And YOU don't know how to say so! YOU are afraid she'll reject you like the villagers back home in Hitachi! YOU have become cold hearted and hard because YOU feel like if you open up to someone they'll treat you differently! YOU pulled this pack together without even realizing it. And it will be YOU to defeat Naraku and make Kagome your's so you can show her and the wolf demon Kouga how much you love her!" Itacha said getting red in the face from lack of breath.
Inuyasha who was on his butt was looked up at the angry woman shocked at how much two girls could teach a new comer in a little amount of time and how she knew his affection for Kagome.
"Fine so you do know them but you don't know their feelings and personalities like I do!" Inuyasha pressed on not exactly one to give up.
"Inuyasha you are the biggest ass in JAPAN, Miroku shares the title and also has his own as the dumbest and most perverted male in the world, Sango is tough but kind, Kagome is kind loving and stern when she wants to be and Shippou although he annoys you is the cutest Kitsune I've ever seen." Itacha said jumping up in a tree, "I'm going to sleep now I've already beaten you!"
The others stared on amazement as Inuyasha just huffed and sat on the root of another tree.
"Whoa" Miroku breathed out.
"I guess she's used to fighting with him like this." Sango said softly.
"I think we should follow Itacha's example and go to sleep." Kagome said rolling out her sleeping bag and one for Sango as well.
Shippou got into the sleeping bag with Kagome and Sango got into her own.
"So are we going to Hitachi?" Kagome asked Inuyasha as they walked. They had already had breakfast and everyone was for fear of irritating either hanyou. They are both very scary when angry. Now they were walking a forest path to somewhere unknown to anyone except probably Itacha who was traveling by tree.
"If it's the only way to get that bitch out of my hair." Was his oh so kind reply.
"I'm a vixen Inuyasha not a bitch!" yelled Itacha from a tree not too far ahead of them.
Rolling his eyes he continued walking. Kagome shook her head and reflected on what Itacha said the night before.
"YOU had fallen in love with Kikyou and now YOU'RE in love with Kagome. And YOU don't know how to say so! YOU are afraid she'll reject you like the villagers back home in Hitachi! YOU have become cold hearted and hard because YOU feel like if you open up to someone they'll treat you differently!
And it will be YOU to defeat Naraku and make Kagome your's so you can show her and the wolf demon Kouga how much you love her"
'Did she speak the truth? Has Inuyasha fallen in love with me?' she was interrupted by her thoughts when she bumped into a growling Inuyasha. This meant two things, Kouga was near, Naraku was near, or Sesshoumaru was near.
"Who is it this time?" Kagome said peeking over his shoulder to see a whirlwind/tornado looking thing. Itacha jumped of a branch and gracefully landed next to Kagome who was now next to Inuyasha. Kouga stepped out of the whirlwind and walked towards Kagome ignoring Inuyasha's growling. (Okay I'm gonna make Kouga look stupid so don't even bother)
"Hello my Kagome! How are you today?" Kouga asked grabbing her hand.
"Hey Kouga, I'm fine you?" Kagome replied but she clearly wanted to say 'Leave me alone I'm In love with INUYASHA you dummy.'
"Good you know I don't like it that you hang out with mutt-face but I'd hate it even more if he wasn't taking care of my princess." He said looking into her eyes.
"And I'm guessing you're the wolf prince Kouga!" Itacha said tired of being ignored by the wolf.
"Yeah and you are…," he said obviously peeved.
"I'm Itacha! You know I don't think Inuyasha likes you touching Kagome," she tilted her head to the right.
"Like I care what you think you're a half breed woman! That's worse than the mutt!" Kouga retaliated.
"Do you have a problem with half breed women Kouga?" she asked glaring at the wolf the fire of hell burning in her pink eyes.
"No but I can see I'll have a problem with you!" Kouga replied facing her.
"BLADES OF FIRE!" Itacha screamed swiping her claws with her fox fire coming out in blades (Like Inuyasha's Blades of blood mixed with Shippou's fox fire).
Kouga didn't expect the attack and jumped last minute making her hit his legs and the jewel shards to fall out. Kagome quickly grabbed the jewel and fused them with the half that she has. The had almost half the jewel which only meant that the battle with Naraku was closer.
"HEY give those back!" Kouga said landing on the ground. Kagome defiantly clutched the jewel and stepped back. Itacha and Inuyasha stepped in hiding her from view.
"To get to her you'll have to get through us!" the half demons yelled simultaneously.
"You're just hanyou's what do you think you can do to me!?" Kouga said almost laughing.
"Maybe but two hanyou's equal…" Itacha started.
"The power of a full Youkai!" Inuyasha finished swiping his claw forming his Iron reaper soul stealer and Itacha using her blades of fire again.
Kouga fell back bleeding a lot in the arms and chest.
"Kagome! Stop them!" Kouga yelled out.
"Okay guys lets just wrap him up and send him running with his tail between his legs." Kagome said being the kind hearted person that she was.
"Fine don't let us kill the stupid wolf" Itacha and Inuyasha said together.
Bending down Kagome started bandaging Kouga's legs and then started working on his arms and chest.
"Thanks Kagome I know I can always count on my woman." Kouga said smirking.
"About that… Listen Kouga you're alright and all but I don't exactly see you that way. You're still my friend but I just can't see you as a romantic lover or a mate. I'm sorry." Kagome said sweetly.
"Is it the mutt? Why are you saying these things?" Kouga said looking surprised.
"His name is Inuyasha and he's NOT a mutt. Believe it or not he has his moments when he's kind so leave him alone. And I'm saying 'these things' because their true. I don't see you as anything more than a friend and if it is because of Inuyasha you shouldn't care." Kagome replied with an indefinable look in her eyes.
"Fine but when you get tired of the mutt know that you'll always have me." Kouga said running off.
"FINALLY!!!" Sango and Miroku yelled as soon as he was out of ear shot.
"It was about goddamned time you told that wolf to lay off!" Inuyasha mumbled.
"Don't tell me she let it go on for a long time! Don't tell me you didn't kill him a long time ago!" Itacha screamed in frustration, "Do you have any OTHER romantic rivals that you let live!?"
"I think theirs one in Kagome's time that she likes… I think his name is Homo or something like that…" he said loud enough for only people with Youkai hearing to hear him.
"ARE YOU FUCKIN' SERIOUS!" Itacha said a little loudly.
"Is who f-in serious?" Kagome asked glancing at her friend.
"Kagome do you like a guy named homo?" Itacha said in a tone that said 'if you lie to me I'll slit you throat'.
"I bet you got the homo thing from Inuyasha. His name is Houjo and he's just a boy from my school. I like him like I like Kouga. He's only a friend." Kagome replied.
Itacha sniffed the air to find traces of deception but she found none. Satisfied that she told the truth and that Inuyasha heard her she smiled and walked before her.
"So a new hanyou has joined Inuyasha's ridiculous group." Said a man from the shadows.
"I guess. She was seen traveling with them so that is what it seems." Said a girl not to far in front of him.
"Good work. Now get out of my sight." Said the man.
Okay I know I should be updating MBF or something but I couldn't help it. I had to right it or something or I'd never get to sleep. It'll haunt me for the day after and then I'd feel crept out. I wouldn't sleep and school is coming up soon so I need the last moments of over sleeping before I can't sleep cause of school and having to update my stories. I'm sorry to my MBF readers who are mad at me but please understand!
