I don't own inuyasha. I own the plot and the oc.
Kagome looked at her adopted sister with pleading eyes. "Just come with me for once. You will have fun. Please come with me? I promise you belong there with me. I can feel it, you have the fighting spirit that we need there, please?" kagome begged her older sister.
"I don't wish to impede. I could end up a nuisance more than I would help. Besides mom wouldn't let me go no matter how much I wanna." Kagome's blue eyed sister sighed, running a delicate looking hand through her straight black hair. "Momma! Can ammy go with me to meet inuyasha and the others?" kagome asked/yelled.
"I don't know about that…" her mother said. "Just let her go will ya. Let ammy have some fun for once." Kagome's grandpa said. "But how will she go down the well?" Souta asked. Kagome smiled, "I will lend her a jewel shard of course." Kagome said and handed ammy a jewel shard. Her mother tried to stop her but it was too late.
Ammy fell to the floor holding her head and she screamed in pain and the jewel shard seeped into her skin. "No! No! no! I DON'T WANT YOU!" she screamed and clawed at the palm of her hand until it bled. Moments later she stopped and her hair grew about a foot and a half longer, it now reached her hips. Starting from the roots it turned a pure white. She looked up at kagome and everyone else who had run into the room with bright red eyes. Animalistic fangs poked from between her lips in a ferocious snarl.
"My sister is a demon?" kagome asked in shock. Ammy's red eyes turned a dark red and a red mark traced her eyelid and went right below her eye like Sesshomaru's mother. A red circle drew itself on her forehead, a short red line on the bottom of the circle and a longer one on the top of the circle. Red stripes traced her wrists and her nails grew longer and became sharper.
"Kagome, take the shard back please I don't want to be a demon." Ammy said holding her head. Kagome's mom crouched beside ammy. "Im so sorry you had to find out this way ameratsu. I tried to hide your demon blood but I guess it couldn't be helped; you had to find out someday. I just wanted to protect you." kagome's mom took the jewel shard and handed it to kagome, who purified it.
"This stays within the household, alright souta?" kagome said and her younger brother nodded. Her grandpa ran in and slapped a sutra to ameratsu's forehead. Her eyes returned to the bright red they were, instead of the dark, almost black, red they had turned. The markings stayed the same and so did her white hair color. "okaa-san, what's my real name?" she asked looking at the floor.
"Shiori ameratsu, you are a wolf demon with an affinity for both fire and wind. Im so sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Ms. Higurashi said, tears filling her eyes. "Its alright momma. I guess I will actually fit in better with kagome and her group now. I love you okaa-san" she said and hugged her mother.
"Let's go get our things gathered up and let's go to the feudal era." Shiori said with a small smile. Kagome nodded; still in shock that ammy was actually named Shiori and was a demon.
:-:-:-:
Inuyasha sat by the well waiting for kagome to get back so they could get on with their travels to find the jewel shards.
He saw the familiar light shine up the well and he looked over expecting kagome but instead he was met with the sight of a beautiful demoness in the well instead of kagome. She wore a red and white kimono and it had green pieces shaped like half of the yin-yang circle around her waist. (A/N: if you wanna see what her outfit looks like its in my profile picture. I didn't know how to describe the shoes basically they are like boots but they don't have a bottom, but a strap that holds them on her feet.)
She jumped and landed beside him. She looked around and when her red eyes landed on him they narrowed and she walked around him as if inspecting him. Inuyasha looked at her with curious golden eyes. She stopped circling him and smiled gently at him. "My name is Shiori ameratsu Higurashi." She said and inuyasha eyes widened in surprise.
"My name is inuyasha…where is kagome?" he asked. She grinned and pointed down the well. "She went back to get your ramen." Shiori said and adjusted the strap that went across the bottom of her feet to secure her thigh high skin tight red boot like things to her legs.
"So you are the infamous inuyasha huh? You really don't look like much…" Shiori said and inuyasha glared at her fiercely. "as if you're one to talk. Show me what you can do if you're so special." He challenged and Shiori frowned.
She sniffed the air and her white moko-moko that hung gracefully over her shoulder twitched back and forth. She grinned and turned to the well. "Kagome-Chan! About time!" she said. Leaning over the edge of the well and waving down the opening. She lowered her moko-moko down into the opening and pulled up kagome, with a pained look on her face.
"My moko-moko hurts. I guess its like my tail…"she said and inuyasha gave kagome the 'is she for real?' look. Kagome nodded and smiled. "This is Shiori my sister. We just found out today due to a mishap with a jewel shard that she is a demon." Kagome said smiling and Shiori smiled too.
:-:-:-:
"So this lovely lady is your sister?" Miroku asked with a perverted grin. Shiori gave him a dirty look and he smiled then he kissed the top of her hand and she glared at him. "Back off lecher, not interest." She snapped and pulled her hand from his. Sango smiled at Shiori and hit miroku over the head with her hiraikotsu. Shippo laughed when miroku hit the ground.
Shiori sniffed the air once more and her moko-moko straightened and she growled deep in her throat and flexed her clawed hands and stepped in front of kagome protectively.
A whirl wind of air stopped in front of them and koga stepped out of it grinning. Ginta and Hakkaku arrived minutes later, huffing and puffing while trying to catch their breath. Shiori growled deep in her throat and koga blinked.
"Who is she?" he asked, clearly confused as to why she was growling at him. '' Shiori ameratsu Higurashi, who are you?" Shiori asked narrowing her eyes at koga. "Koga, chief of the demon wolf tribe." He said haughtily and Shiori scoffed audibly.
"I will never accept you as my chief. You are younger than I am." She said and kagome slapped her forehead in annoyance. Shiori smiled and walked around him as if inspecting him. She leaned over a tiny bit and yanked koga's tail, and then she giggled when he jumped and yelped in pain. "Aww how come you have a tail? I want a tail." She pouted and kagome giggled. "Shiori… that's because you have moko-moko-san." She said and Shiori smiled.
"I like moko-moko-kun better though." She said then flicked koga on the nose. "You could be cute...but I have my tastes and black haired guys certainly aren't my style. Sorry, koga-san." She said then winked at inuyasha." Guys with silver hair are more to my tastes." She said with a seductive smirk. Kagome glared at her sister when she saw inuyasha blush. Koga sighed then decided to take his leave, Ginta and Hakkaku right behind him.
"Kagome I didn't mean your boo. The doggy ears are cute but I don't date anyone younger than me. These two look no more than fifteen in human years." Shiori said with a wave of the hand.
Inuyasha sighed in relief. "good because I hate mangy wolves." He said and Shiori gave him a dirty look. Kagome swore she saw a gust of wind swirl around Shiori. The fire in Shiori's eyes made kagome want to hide. "Now now, its not the time for fighting, Shiori. Save it for the bad guys." Kagome said and Shiori flexed her claws, flames beginning to engulf her hands. Shiori's eyes went wide and she grinned. "Okaa-san was right! I do have a fire affinity!" Shiori said and the flames vanished. She looked at her hands with a curious gaze.
Kagome resisted the urge to smack her forehead once more. Shiori may be older but she really was acting immature right now. "Hey Shiori, could you at least act twenty instead of twelve? You never acted like this when you thought you were human." Kagome sighed and Shiori looked hurt for a moment then she smiled and nodded.
"Sorry if my excitement was getting on your nerves. My deepest apologies." She said and instantly everyone blinked. It was as if she had turned into a whole new, more friendly Shiori. "we have to get going as soon as we wake up tomorrow, so we should get back to bed soon since its beginning to get dark." Inuyasha said and climbed into his usual tree while everyone else went inside Kaede's hut.
"What business do ye have here demon?" the old woman asked looking right at Shiori. Shiori frowned and bowed politely. "I am Shiori Higurashi ameratsu, sorry if I seem to be of danger to you. I am kagome's adopted sister." Shiori said and the shocked look that made Shiori wonder just what this woman knew.
"You are Shiori ameratsu? I thought Shiori ameratsu died in inu tashio's time. This is confusing. Tell me are you a pureblood white wolf demon with an affinity for both fire and wind?" she asked. Shiori nodded, Kaede frowned at the woman. "Just your existence will draw naraku to us. Either you go back where you came from or you help kill the hanyou known as naraku. Its your choice." Kaede said and Shiori narrowed her eyes at the old woman. "I refuse to leave. This is where I belong. I will expel the darkness that threatens this world and I will protect all that is good!" Shiori said and Kaede smiled slightly.
"Ye have made the right choice. The power ye hold is part of the key of defeating naraku." Kaede said and Shiori nodded. The others walked in and Shiori smiled at them then walked out. "You have a nice conversation with Kaede?" kagome asked and Shiori nodded. "Of course. The woman spouts wise words that inuyasha should listen to it sometime." She said then used her newly found strength to launch herself into a tree. She leaned against the tree, her kimono falling over the branch she was sitting on like a blanket shrouding the tree in red and white. She stared off into the night sky at the stars then drifted to sleep.
:-:-:-:
Shiori ran beside inuyasha, who was carrying kagome on his back. Shiori kept running until she saw a large dragon demon get in their path through the forest. "Give me the jewel shards." It hissed grotesquely. Shiori jumped and landed a few feet from the demon.
"Why would a powerful demon such as yourself need more power? Having too much power is unfitting." Shiori said to the silver Chinese looking dragon. "Because power is all I have." It hissed, its grotesque jaws clacking together with each word it spat.
"Shiori get away from it! Let inuyasha handle it." Kagome yelled, worried for her sister's safety. Shiori opened her eyes and her normally light red eyes had turned a dark almost blackish red once more. Her canines elongated, along with her claws and her face. Wolfish ears replaced her human ears and white fur began to grow as her body morphed into that of a wolf ten stories tall. The yin-yang pieces floated up to her and they melded together to form a flat circle, upon completion flames burst from around the circle. The fur on the back of her legs resembled wings. The same red circle was in the fur on her forehead. Swirling designs traced her shoulders and hips. The same red lines also traced her eyes.
She howled and the ground shook. The dragon was half her size until it began to grow in size. It reached her shoulder blades now. Shiori snarled ferociously and looked to inuyasha and the others. They were frozen in shock.
The dragon latched onto her throat and she slammed her large paws against its body, hoping to dislodge its teeth. She used her back leg to push inuyasha and the others back then she swung her head and slammed the dragon against the ground. It let her go then reached for kagome. Kagome screamed and Shiori snarled and used her jaws to rip the dragon's arm off. Inuyasha caught kagome and watched as Shiori tackled the large dragon to the ground and ripped its throat out. It hissed in pain and it began to disintegrate.
Shiori turned back into her humanoid form and she walked over to the carcass of the demon and picked out the jewel shard since kagome refused to go near it. Shiori resisted its pull and handed it to kagome.
She began walking down the path, and then fell suddenly. Kagome ran over to her and noticed her eyes kept flickering from light red to the demonic blood red. She shook her head and grinned up at kagome.
"Its all good. Inner Shiori is pushed into the back of my mind once more." She said and stumbled to her feet. She smiled reassuringly and began walking once more.
:-:-:-: (a month later)
Inuyasha sighed, they still had no sign of getting close to killing naraku, they had found him then he brought out one on his incarnations and sango had gotten injured during a fight with the scorpion demon so they were heading to kaede's hut.
They should get there soon so he decided to speed up their traveling speed. Shiori had managed to get her inner youkai under control for a while so she was in was running beside him in a smaller version of her true form.
He sniffed the air and skidded to a stop. He narrowed his eyes and growled up ahead of them to the person hiding within the shadows. "Sesshomaru, I can smell you, get out here." Inuyasha yelled and Shiori sat down beside him, still in her wolf form, her tail wagging lazily.
In a swirl of wind Shiori was in her humanoid form standing beside inuyasha with a hand on her hip. Sesshomaru nodded to inuyasha as he walked out, angering the hanyou slightly.
Looked towards Shiori and then narrowed his eyes. "This sesshomaru wouldn't suggest retuning to your time. Your demon blood boils within you, struggling to break free. This sesshomaru can feel that within you." He said and Shiori frowned at him. "You may be lord of the western lands but you aren't lord of me. You aren't my master and you shall never be. Don't even begin to try to think so." Shiori hissed and he grabbed her around her neck, his claws digging into the flesh.
"You dare disrespect this sesshomaru?" he growled, and kagome became worried for her sister's safety, Shiori was treading on thin ice with sesshomaru.
"I don't dare, I did. What can you do about it?" she snapped and her eyes went wide as he threw her down the wells opening. The light shone over the lip of the well was not the color it should've been; it had turned dark red and engulfed Shiori. Kagome noticed the difference and jumped in after her sister. This time the light was its normal color.
:-:-:-:
Kagome climbed up from the well and ran into her house and found her mother. "Momma have you seen Shiori?" she asked. Her mother shook her head and gave her a worried look. "What happened?" her mother asked hesitantly. Kagome looked at her mother with tear filled eyes.
"Shiori made lord sesshomaru mad and he threw her down the well. It wasn't right momma! The light was red! It wasn't supposed to be red!" kagome sobbed into her mother's shoulder. "Perhaps the well sent her to another time. The one where she is supposed to learn how to control her demon. I don't know I just don't wanna think that my oldest baby was killed by the well you go down every few days you get back here. I don't wish to believe such a thing could happen to you…" her mother cried embracing kagome tightly, tears streaming down her face.
Souta walked in and they told him what happened, he cried because Shiori was the only one who would play games with him. "We just have to hope for the best now. Maybe just maybe the well sent her somewhere else so she could fulfill her destiny or something." Kagome's mother cried.
"That's all we can hope for mama." Souta sniffled. Kagome released her mother and walked to her room to gather the supplies they had needed. This was supposed to be a short trip, get the supplies and anti venom for sango then get back; but this was bad. Shiori and inuyasha were undoubtedly the strongest members of their team, and now they were a guardian down. Naraku will most likely go back into hiding and without Shiori's superior nose, they wouldn't have any leads. Inuyasha's nose was strong but Shiori's could pick up week old scents, a feat that inuyasha knew he couldn't do.
:-:-:-:
Shiori stumbled to her feet in the bottom of the well. She looked up and couldn't see the vines that were usually there and she couldn't see the roof over the top of the well shrine. "Kagome! Kagome are you up there?" Shiori yelled/asked.
When she got no reply she launched herself from the well and her eyes went wide. This didn't look like home or the feudal area she had previously been in. there were far more trees and from what she could see; far less villages. She felt tears prick the back of her eyes, but she forced them back.
Wherever she was she needed to find out, and find a way to get home. She landed gracefully on her feet and walked through the forest. She looked at a tree and it looked so familiar with its twisted branches and lack of arrow mark.
Shiori's hand instantly covered her mouth, this was the god tree. She could pick this tree out from any in the whole world. After all it resided in her front yard.
Shiori's pointed ear twitched and so did her moko-moko. She narrowed her eyes and sniffed the air. She smelled her own scent, a mixture of jasmine, peony, rose, and sandalwood. And another scent that consisted of multiple woodsy scents, mostly pine, oak, and sandalwood.
Her moko-moko twitched in discomfort. She looked around and frowned. She had no idea where she was, whose scent she smelled so fiercely, and why they were nearby.
She heard the familiar crack of a twig and turned to her right, eyes wide. "Who is there?" she called, feeling uneasy about being in this new time period.
A tall man with long silver hair, a jagged dark blue stripe gracing each of his cheekbones, spiked armor, three different swords on his hip, molten gold eyes, the familiar blue crescent moon on his forehead and an uncanny resemblance to both inuyasha and sesshomaru, walked out. Shiori blinked then looked him over again before looking down at her feet with a light blush. 'And I thought sesshomaru was handsome. Good lord I have been missing out big time…' Shiori thought nervously. "What is your name demoness?" the taller demon asked, his deep voice rumbling through her entire being.
"Shiori ameratsu Higurashi. May I ask, if I am not imposing or being rude, what might your name be?" she asked and the taller male blinked as if surprised she didn't know who he was. He nodded at her and smiled slightly. "My name is lord inutashio of the western lands. It's a pleasure to meet you lady ameratsu. Why may I ask, are you on my lands?" he asked and Shiori went still.
"I didn't mean to sorry, I am not from this time period. That well sent me here not too long ago." She said and he looked at her confused, as if he didn't believe her. Then it hit her, this was Inuyasha's and Sesshomaru's dad's time, Kaede said that the ameratsu died in this time period, which meant, she was going to die here. She would never see her little sister again. "Oh my…" Shiori murmured and collapsed, feeling faint. The last thing she saw was inu tashio's molten gold eyes as she fainted. 'Im too young to die .it can't happen I don't wanna die…' she thought as everything went black.
