I walked up the steps to the Higurashi shrine. I sped up when I heard my half sister scream for help. As I ran I could hear men laughing, I turned and jumped up grabbing a man away from Kagome at the same time. I threw the man away and squared off with the other five. After disposing of all of them I turned towards my sister and grinned.
"Thank you so much for saving us miss" Mrs. Higurashi said I knew none of them really knew who I was this could actually be kind'a fun
"No problem Mrs. Higurashi," I said as I turned to leave.
"Wait!" Souta called, I turned my head slightly. Even though I thought none of them knew of me but I did know of them.
"Yes?" I asked watching him.
"Your Serenity aren't you?" he asked I turned completely to him.
"How do you know my name Souta?" I asked grinning at him and the shocked expressions on everyone's face. "Have you been peeking at my secret government identity files? Teasing him again
"Yeah and it cost me a bundle too," he joked back "But seriously I read father's journals that he left here. You were born through an arranged mating because he needed an heir." he said I smiled at him.
"Yes little brother you are correct. I am Serenity and I am so glad all of you are safe" I said he surprised me by hugging me tightly "I'll keep you to," I joked
"That means instead of being a half black inu demon like Kagome and I, you are a full demon and can go through the well and help make sure Kagome comes home safely." I stared at him then looked at Kagome.
"Us dogs have to stick together hanyou or not," I humorously replied
"I am an official member of the dog union than?"
"Are you having troubles little sister?" I asked as the adults went inside to discuss me I assume.
"Yes I am, come to my room and I will tell you everything maybe after you can take this damn spell off of me and I can get my demon powers." she said, I grinned
"I'll get back to you in a week," seems the wiseass gene ran rampant in the family
Nodding I followed her and Souta. We all ended up on her floor and she told me everything.
"Alright if I can get through the well I will help you but you must know that if we get there and I release your demon side we may not be able to come back." I said and she frowned.
"Not to worry I will kick your ass and drag you back through. A I know so does everyone else, but I don't think it will be so hard on them if they know you will be there with me." she said and I nodded.
"Very well let everyone know and pack everything you will need or want over there and then we will leave." I said as I got up and left the house and sat under the god tree.
"Serenity?" I looked up at the Higurashi family and nodded.
"Will you watch over her and make sure she stays safe?" Mrs. Higurashi asked I nodded.
"Yes ma'am, I am her protector after all that's why I showed up today." I said grinned at the confused look on Kagome's face. "Kagome I know you have Inuyasha as a protector but I was born to protect you. You are the Shikon Miko, while I am your protector, I will share that responsibility with Inuyasha." I said smiling when Kagome giggled.
"Oh I cannot wait to see the look on his face when he finds out and when he sees the real you," Kagome added smiling evilly
"Sis you sadist you," I teased
"But bug wait till you meet him he is so much fun to torture hehehe," Kagome said
"Alright then girls be careful and stay safe." Mrs. Higurashi said as we got ready to jump in the well. I watched as Kagome hugged her family for the last time "Don't chip a nail girls," Souta teased in a girly voice hands on his hips swaying them like a girl
"Souttaaa," Kagome and I growled in unison,
Then we jumped in for the last time. On the feudal era side we both jumped out of the well, I took off my concealment charm then turned to Kagome who was staring at me in shock. I moved my tail and shook my thigh length black hair out the silver streaks shimmered in the sunlight. My silver eyes shinned brighter than ever. I smiled then put my hand on her forehead and destroyed the spell but before I could help her control her inner beast a silver haired hanyou stepped in front of me.
'How right she was now I see what she means he looks like a real ball buster. Oh ewel I'll just bust his first" I thought
"Get away from Kagome demon" he yelled then pulled his sword out and pointed at me.
"Ooo looks like someone wants to be a swordsickle," by the look on his face one could tell where I meant I'd be shoving his sword
"Dream on wench as if you have a chance,"
"Back off Inuyasha, I need to help her or she will destroy everything in her path." I said knocking him across the field then placed a necklace around Kagome's neck, she stopped shaking and looked at it "Well looks like I did have a chance after all" Who's on their ass now? I could let her rampage out of control and use you as a dog chew toy, or a claw sharpening post"
"What does this do?" she asked as her demon blood came under control.
"Little sister this necklace will help control your demonic powers, you can still use them but you will not go around killing everything. Your demonic blood will only take over if your life is in danger and the only ones that can bring you out of it will be me or your mate." I said
I was smiling at her then Inuyasha who was standing between us holding his sword up pointing at me. He turned his head then fully noticed Kagome's appearance, I heard running feet, I turned ready to attack but noticed a small fox demon.
"Hello dear Shippo, I am Serenity older sister to Kagome. She has asked me to help with the fight against Naraku and it is my job to protect her alongside of Inuyasha and her friends." I said kneeling in front of the child and smiling sweetly at him.
"My dear Serenity it is lovely to meet you, I am Miroku will you bear my child?" Miroku asked I looked up at him and grinned "Five ten or perhaps twenty?
"Oh jeez she's not here five minutes and look at the human trying to have a litter and he's not he's not even a dog," smirking Inuyasha jabbed "Sango looks like we're going to have to sew the little man's head shut," Miroku gulped one hand over his precious jewels
"If you desire but I must warn you I tend to keep men's treasures after they leave" I said standing up smiling sweetly at him.
"I know right? I like you I am Sango" Sango said grinning evilly at the monk.
"Nice to meet you all" I said before turning back to Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Inuyasha let's go to Kaede's hut Serenity will explain everything she knows more about this then I do." Kagome said he nodded slowly then turned on his heel leading the way.
"Come along Shippo," she added then followed. I followed Kagome and smiled at Sango as she walked beside me while Miroku followed behind us. We entered Kaede's hut then sat around the fire.
"Alright first Kagome is not Kikyo's reincarnation as you can see she is half black inu demon, our father is Lord Jenta from the south. I am full black inu demon, like you and your brother Inuyasha but we have priestess powers, from our mother, as well which are stronger than Kikyo's." I said looking around at everyone.
"I knew it," Sango exclaimed excitedly "See told ya Kagome's no reincarnation of that cold fish,"
Then I continued "Since Kagome is the protector of the Shikon jewel she was also given the protection of another. My job is to protect the Shikon jewels protector alongside her mate and friends. You should also know that Kagome and I may not be able to go back to our time because I took our concealment charms and spells off." I said
Shippo jumped off of Kagome's lap then jumped into mine then looked down like he was ashamed of jumping into a powerful full demon. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed his head. "I am very much like Kagome I don't care who you are, I love unconditionally and without prejudice." I added smiling at the child.
"She smells good," he said after sniffing me "Not like you," the kitsune needled looking at Inuyasha
"What's that supposed to mean runt?"
"You smell like wet dog, she smells like the clean forest with that fresh outdoorsy scent,"
"Whoa nice shot," Miroku exclaimed
"I'll kill you later, better sleep with one eye open," Inuyasha said glaring at the grinning kitsune then turned to me "So does this mean you will be joining my group?" Inuyasha asked, I glared at him then shrugged.
"Yes" I said while still staring at him.
"Well then I will have Kikyo join us as well, she can help us" he said I glared at him.
What? After she tried to kill Kagome? Irate Sango snapped
"Well this is an interesting tidbit," I said snidely "Just know this when she joins no one will follow her orders and I will never except her as my alpha female. And if she tries to hurt my sister I will kill her and you will not stop me." I said as I stood and walked out of the hut, he followed me.
"What right do you have to say that? When she joins you will follow the alpha female's orders." He said through gritted teeth.
"You have the balls to say that after I just found out how she tried to kill my sister? I yelled "And how many times I wonder?"
"More than Once," Sango said loudly so all could hear
"Damn I always thought and was raised to believe dogs were loyal, guess that doesn't apply to you," he glared at me
"Nope he supports and backs an evil clay assassin," Shippo said
"I See, No I will not be led by her, you need to understand something I am stronger then the clay pot and I will have no problem showing her and you." I said glaring at him, his face turned red then he lunged drawing his sword. I pulled my purifying swords out and stopped his sword, he suddenly put his sword away and glared at me.
"I vote Serenity be alpha female," Sango said
"Me to," the others agreed
"Huh, looks like I won all the votes and there was not even an election," I wisecracked
"She is more powerful and beautiful than you are." he yelled, I stared at him.
"Oh please you wish," the others exclaimed and made vomiting sounds
"I don't give a damn what you say she will die by my hand if she hurts anyone I care for, or she decides she is better than me just because I am a demon. I have a much bigger heart than that" I said making my swords disappear. I looked to the North when I felt a demonic essence coming our way and fast.
"Kouga" Kagome whispered from beside me, I nodded to her.
"Mutt I heard that last part that thing tried to kill my Kagome and you defend it" What's wrong mutt a live one too much to handle? Some guys will hump anything"
"I like this ookami already," I said making the hanyou burn red with rage
"Screw you both of you and the rest of ya too," Inuyasha shot back
"Oh really dog breath? I'm going to be keeping an eye on this pack and if the corpse princess so much as give s my mate a cross look she dies," Kouga warned
"You bastar," Inuyasha started and was cut off the mate part really griped him and Kouga knew it
"Shut it traitor," the others told him
"Kagome, how are you my woman?" Kouga asked then he noticed me. "And who are you?" he asked I smiled as another demonic essence came and stopped beside Kouga.
"I am Serenity, Kagome's older sister." I said shaking his hand. "Please join our group" I whispered to both of them, they looked at one another then nodded to me.
"You are going to destroy Kikyo aren't you?" Inuyasha asked me when he realized what was going on.
"I told you Inuyasha I will not be ordered around by the likes of her and I will not sit by and let her hurt anyone in this group including you" I said laying my hand on his arm then walked away. I continued to walk until I was in a meadow full of flowers, I sat down looking over the valley, I looked over when I heard a young girl giggle.
"Rin get back here you insolent child" I stood up and smiled at the girl when she noticed me.
"Hello child. What are you doing on this beautiful morning?" I asked as I neared her, she backed away slowly. "Oh honey I'm not going to hurt you. I will be traveling with my sister Kagome and Inuyasha.
Where is Lord Sesshomaru?" I asked she smiled then giggled at Jaken who was under my foot. "Oops" I said as I giggled with her.
"I am here. Who are you and what do you want?" he asked stepping out of the trees. I gaped at him then grinned. God! That man is a god.
"I am Lady Serenity" I said grinning when I noticed shock go through Sesshomaru's eyes.
"Well my Lady, what are you doing out of your palace?" he asked stepping closer to me.
"I have been in the future searching for my sister. I am her protector and she is the Shikon jewels protector. So here I am, unforturnately I will be traveling with your half brother as well." I said grinning at him with every step he took towards me.
"You have my heartfelt sympathy," he stated "You are aware that we are in an arranged mating with one another?" he asked as we stood nose to nose.
"Oh yes, I am fully aware. And I can't wait to get to know you." I said grinning, I raised my hand to his cheek, I ran my thump across his cheek and smiled, .he smelled of sandalwood and the forest, I let my hand fall then I looked at Rin and smiled.
"See you around little one be good" I said smiling at her then walked back to the village. I smelled grave yard soil and death, I shook my head and found the others sitting at the edge of the woods hatred written on their faces while avoiding Kikyo. Pensive Sango looked ready to kill her with her hieaikotsu
.
"Yo, Serenity. Where did you go?" Kouga asked from the tree he was sitting under with Ayame between his legs.
"I went for a walk and found the cutest little girl irrating a little green imp" I said as I sat down next to Kagome.
"So is it true, you are Kagome's protector?" Ayame asked I glanced at her and grinned.
"Yeah then after the final battle I will be able to get to know my betrothed." I said grinning.
"Who is your betrothed?" Kouga asked generally curious.
"I am" Sesshomaru said coming out of the woods, Rin ran and jumped into my lap and giggled when I looked down at her.
"What the hell are you doing here bastard?" Inuyasha yelled as he came over the hill with Kikyo who was ready with an arrow.
"I came to see my intended" Sesshomaru said I smiled at him then picked Rin up and set her down nodding towards Shippo who was coloring. Brother I suggest you put a leash on and control that clay shell of yours before she meets my acid whip,"
"Oh yeah who would marry you? You are an asshole to everyone" Inuyasha said while pointing his sword at Sesshomaru.
"I would" I said standing next to Sesshomaru.
"Teah he is handsome and way better looking than you are or ever will be," Sango jabbed
"I don't care he needs to leave" Inuyasha yelled.
"No he does not" I said then looked at Sesshomaru. "He can even join if he wants" I said with hope in my eyes.
"No we have demons in this group, we will not add another" Kikyo decided to open her mouth.
"I would be honored to join your group my Lady" Sesshomaru said bowing his head and kissing the back of my hand.
"Hey clay corpse shell put it down before I shove that arrow up your ass," red eyed Kagome snapped, with her demon side free to come out the vicious side emerged "Bet that back doors seen more action then then a whore house," she needled under her breath "If anybody leaves it should be her,"
"Why are you inviting all these people into my group?" Kikyo screamed, I turned and stared at her.
"Easy it is not your group. And if we were going by pack laws it would be my group seeing as I am the strongest here. You would be at the very bottom just under the children." I said glaring at her,
"And besides we all voted Serenity as our alpha female," gloating Sango needled. Isn't that right everyone? Yhey agreed
"It seems unanimous my intended is alpha female. By pack law it is so the only way she could be ousted is if the pack voted her out and I do not believe that will happen." Sesshoumaru added. Kikyo huffed then walked back to the village.
"Hey Serenity what is that funny case you are carrying?" Shippo asked I looked down at the case he was talking about, I smiled at Kagome who nodded.
"This is called a guitar it plays music." I said sitting on the ground near Sesshomaru who sat under a tree watching us, I took the guitar out and showed it to everyone.
"Will you play something for us?" Rin asked, I smiled at her then nodded. I put the guitar in my lap as the children crawled closer to me, I motioned for Kagome and she sat down next to me. I started playing soon everyone in the village stopped what they were doing and watched what we were doing even Inuyasha left Kikyo to listen, then I started singing.
Heart don't fail me now
Courage don't desert me
Don't turn back now that we're here
People always say
Life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear
Or How the world can seem so vast
On the journey to the past
Somewhere down this road
I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams just can't be wrong
Arms will open wide
I'll be safe and wanted
Finally home where I belong
Well, Starting now I'm learning fast
On this journey to the past
Home, love, family
There was once a time
I must've had them too
Home, love, family
I will never be complete until I find you
One step at a time
One hope then another
Who knows where this road may go
Back to who I was
Onto find my future
Things my heart still needs to know
Yes, let this be a sign
Let this road be mine
Let it lead me to my past
And bring me home
At Last
When I finished everyone clapped I smiled and bowed my head.
'Wench can really sing' Inuyasha thought
