Hello this is my second story I'm writing my other is an avatar the last air bender on under the name of "The Girl with the Dragon earrings" but never mind about that. I write these on my phone so sorry if the grammar sucks. But anyway lapsis is my one and only main original character minus The kids and I don't own inuyasha at all but here my story anyway.
Bye
Years had passed since the battle for the jewel and kagome had returned to the feudal era as I was told continuously by my cousins mother and grandfather, she left to be with her husband and his family and cut ties. As my life in America got more fucked up due to my rebellious phase of life, my family had decided a change was due. So I was shipped off to Japan to live with the Higurashi's for my high school years in hopes of curving my personality for the better. At first I didn't like it, but for once I had family that understood my more self reliant and head strong ways and gave me more freedom than I could handle sometimes. I had lived a privileged upperclass life I just wasn't cut out for. (At least not the way my mother wanted me to live) I didn't like the social media or events the way people were. I guess some people would say I'm more down to earth taking more joy in art and music nature and closer intimate relationships with several friends not posies or crowds of associated strangers all vying to destroy one another.
So when I finally reached the family shrine I had found a certain kind of peace. I knew I was going to like it over here, it was better than home. Kagome's mother Sayuri or mama greeted me with a kind smile. I hoisted my bags and ascended the stairs to get my first glimps of what was soon to be my home. Gramps was talking about this and that. Mainly trying to tell me the importance of history and such. They were very open with telling me most of the truth about kagome ( mostly she live history and almost seemed to fit in over there better, and she'd spend hours within her mind dreaming up demons and crazy battles) and had been in constant touch with videochats over the years so it was kind of nice to finally meet in person my relatives for the first time.
I was adopted because my parents found out they couldn't have a kid of their own, so I was told. So they went out and applied over and over trying to find the perfect kid and then by some means ditched the kid idea and refocused on babies leading them to me. They were so happy when they finally got to hold me. Although I guess I didn't quite fit their mold like they thought I would. They had moved to America as kids and they became successful together making a life and getting into higher levels of social class. I was just along for the ride and acted with how I felt. Dad says it's me trying to find my own identity and way or due to the fact I'm adopted.
So what I did look like them. They were my family. I just didn't fit in to the world they wanted to be in. They loved the concrete jungles I loved nature, they wanted to view the world from a safe distance I was in the chaos, they were always diplomatic and I was more physically inclined. Not to say I couldn't or wouldn't hold a good or even better argument with them or anyone else. I just found it to be exhausting after a while. But I knew how to play. One thing for sure was I was stubborn and felt strongly about my convictions. So my last stunt was holding a rally and struck against my school for treating the students badly and not allowing them to voice their opinions and have a true say in the on goings of school and cafeteria and social events. We had to may rights taken away because we did the smallest thing wrong to the point of where school was no longer school but a prison. No one could healthily debate on anything and the students were being segregated by this, and thoughts weren't following in an establishment that was meant to broaden our minds.
So I got kick out for questioning authority and disrupting the learning process and what ever they add on to my long rap sheet of rebellion. So I was now in Japan a 16 year old black girl who was fluent in two, almost three languages on the cusp of high school. My hair was a soft curly dark brown being a mix of white and black hair making it fair thing but heavy in volumes. It was a short bob that my mother was shocked to come home to one day. I had chopped off my once long locks to sport this tomboyish look. My eye were so dark brown that most often they looked black except in certain lights. It gave me a more sinister "I'm planning something " look and also made it harder to convey emotions due to the fact my eye freaked people out. I was often called ice princess with a cold heart and eyes to match or the devil or demon child. So there was that. I stood just about 5'6 feet and was still growing ( albeit slowly), I was a late bloomer. Mother accounted this for most of my bad behavior.
I wasn't a socialite and often stayed by myself and read books and James to music what ever it was from broadway to metal I was across the spectrum. And I was always a bit disconnected at time when it came to death and sadness always playing the fool to make people laugh until I wore out usually leading to blind but very true comments about how stupid it was to remain so terribly affected by someone you didn't even know. This caused a few rifts. So I was socially awkward at time then leading rebel. I just knew one thing, I never really belonged here.
All I knew is that I would try and make this place work. My cousin kagome was off with her husband in the wild and Sota was off at his third year of college. I was the baby of the family on my mothers side. So I was the youngest out of all of us. I doubted kagome even new about me. Also due to the fact that I was born when her life got busy with high school and dating. I was adopted a year later so only sota really knows me and we've been on close contact over the years he was like, no is like a older brother to me. I really needed this to work I wanted to stay with the people who seemed to get me the most. I wanted mama and gramps to like me and let me stay.
I felt a strong pull to be in Japan.
"Hey mama, you look good." I hugged the small little woman with grey hair. She was on the brink of what was it? 60? Whatever it was she still looked great. And old man senility was I don't even want to know how old.
"Young people these days don't understand how to respect tradition"
He went on "first the granddaughter who ran of into the arms of a rough boy, then the grandson who is off learning his knows what at school when he should be here at the shrine helping and learning the trade. I guess the old ways will die with me"
"If I was in the know I had done nothing wrong. In fact I know sota is learning how to run businesses and religions in order to help, as you say" sota was also becoming a sort of star in a rock band, along with getting contacts in many fields so he could set up great events in the future to draw people back. He was great at networking and I couldn't blame him. He was my first link to my family overseas and one of the first people to get past my outer walls to get to know me.
"There is hope yet" the Ancient man started to weep. "Let's get you inside, I'm sure your tired. " mama said gently guiding me towards the main house. " I could be more awake, but I will admit that I am hungry. Any food?" Mama laughed as she started to acquaint me to the humble abode pointing out things left and right. As we walked along I couldn't help but notice a small shack off to the side which was oddly pristine. It was more taken care of than the rest.
"What's that?" I point it out. I felt so drawn in, like I needed to check it out. "That old thing, don't worry it's just a dried up well. It's a bit in disarray inside. It kind of- unsafe. Just please avoid it" mama seem so hesitant for once. She rushed and stumbled over things that should've been more trivial. And my grandfather was looking off and twiddling his thumbs as if he showed no interest it wouldn't imply anything. "Well I could help, you know. I'm pretty good at fixing things. YouTube is a great self-learning place along with the internet"
"Don't worry about it I have some men coming right as soon as we can afford their services" mama ensured me. "Just please don't go in there it's dangerous"
"Ok, I guess" as I was lead inside. I couldn't help but keep looking at it as we went inside over my shoulder. I knew when they relaxed I was soo going to check that place out. It was like it had a big red button on it screaming press me. I was always so curious about things. Always getting into trouble, going places I shouldn't. But this was the first time my luck would run out in a way I could never imagine. I was about to get into a whole new type of trouble.
It had been nine years since the well had been active. No one thought it would ever be active again. Rin and kagome had aged and stared to become powerful priestesses. They were kind and benevolent to all, demons or humans helping all of those who were in need. Inuyasha had grown up a bit, it was hard not to. He was a father of two, a 7 year old boy named kaoru and a little 4 year old-girl named Mimori. His daughter took after him mostly with white hair and fluffy puppy ears atop her head with her mothers eyes and kaoru was the exact opposite having this mothers features more only bearing his fathers eyes. But that was not all for his beautiful wife of 27 was pregnant with the newest additions. The old hanyo was to be a young father once again, both dreading and excitedly awaiting their arrival. They were the proud god parents of their friends young children which was still growing in sheer numbers .
The eldest were the twins Airi and Aimi who were twelve then their younger brother Hiroki who was nine. Then there were the triplets Keiji, Kenshin and Koemi they were 6. Then there was little 4 year old cutie mizuki and the current youngest haru, who was their two year old boy. At first Sango's plan was to space them out more so she could mother them and train them to be great demon slayers, but as of lately kohaku had taken up that job and had started a dojo out side the village which all of the group taught at creating a new and so far well rounded supply of very capable skaters who were now either training harder to learn new things or training others themselves. Soon they were going to have enough people to move back home for Sango's enjoyment to restart the village and get back in touch with the other slayer villages to hopefully struck up deals for more training and equipment for their ever growing numbers. Which Sango seemed to keep supplying. Inuyasha kept joking that they would have enough kids that would be the entire village. So far all the children the two produced were a fair mix of the young couples genes that each one of the groups had their own unique look. The twins had dark hair and eyes their brother hiroki had light hair and his mothers eyes. The triplets had hair like their uncle and had their fathers eyes. And so on the variations went. Mizuki was her mother's spitting image and the current youngest was the same of his father.
Their mother was far along in her six pregnancy and was growing rounder every day.
She had mellowed out a bit but not by much she was still a force to be reckoned with. And Miroku was not longer a flirt always at his wife's side but he was leacherous if the amount of kids wasn't enough to tell. They'd probably have as many as they could since they couldn't get enough of each other.
Rin had started to grow into a beautiful young woman who had many suitors both human and yokai.
Shesshomaru had been with the village a while running his lands with a kindness that nobody could ever have guessed he no longer tormented his younger brother and things as they were ran smoothly. Yes, the two would have disagreements but nothing ever got physical. What was astonishing, was gen he volunteered to help raise the ever growing number of kids of the group. He had started to mature in a way that I guess was to be expected.
He no longer detested humans as much since there were a few sparse one now popping up in his territory. His live for rin turned out to be a platonic one of a father but he still cherished her very much. He was also not going to let her go to a man below her worth. His beast and his pride wouldn't let it ready until she was properly taken care of. ( so far no one had met his qualifications) and for him? He was still a bachelor with his eyes on a unattainable ideal for his mate. But with Rin and Kagome the two women had shown him their strength over the years and start chipping at his heart until he was to where he was now.
That day was usual, passed like most others. Inuyasha and his brother went out to patrol and hunt game and kagome and Sango started chores and nesting as their kids either ran about them the village with their friends or were learning skills from the two yokai out in the surrounding woods. The two had recently started to nest as it was late into their pregnancies. Miroku was out helping a nearby village with a demon with some of the students. Shippo had been off learning with other young kits on how to be a yokai fox. This connection was made by shesshomaru who had also taken up interest in him. Inuyasha would swear that it was because of that they were constant players in Rin's life. As this was his constant excuse.
Kagome and the others thought that it wasn't that but he had a growing want for a family of his own. He had rin and jaken. And that was something. But his instincts said to reproduce. So he was making his first stepps by involving himself in children as if he was to have his own he would need to become a father figure. He would not be like his father. He would be better.
So as the young twins tried honing their hunting skill as the two older males watched they felt the change in the air. And down by the house kagome and Sango felt it. They looked off into the direction of the well and the kids did as well. They elders knew what it was but it was the kids who asked the question. " what's that? It's a spiritual entity"
Kagome answered " it's the old well." And she got up and arranged for the kids to stay at home with their godparent and aunt Sango and she made her way over to the old well that hadn't opened in 9 years.
I laid down on my bed I had seen a lot bout Mama's kids from her perspective and I had talked with sota who finally filled me in on the truth of his and kagome's life. I had learned of the time travel and the hanyos and demons and the jewel as during the few years during kagome's last stay he asked and heard her retell stories of her adventures. That cemented it. I was soo going to go and check it out. After that talk I grabbed a smaller backpack of mine and filled it with minor things. Flashlight, batteries, several portable chargers, my iPhone, my Nintendo, several different games, several food items consisting of ramen noodles, jerky, m'ms, and goldfish. I had also grabbed a few changes of clothes and a blanket. If this well really worked I would be ready for anything. I was going to find out the truth.
So I climbed out the window and stared the decent down the drain outside my second floor story. So after making my way down silently I crept towards the old well house. I yanked at the door it was stuck. I opened the doors finally and the flashlight I flicked it on. And I peered into the darkness and found a well. Old thing whose wood seemed to falling apart. It was at the bottom of the stairs and I walked forward I had a strong sense of foreboding. Something was in here with me.
"Hello?" I called out
I earned a yaowl." Buyo you stupid old cat. I don't even know how you got in here"
So I walked down no longer fearing the unknown and I found the well I reached my hand on the old wood and the old grouch came up to rub on my legs. I peered over the ledge and saw the bottom.
" so it's just jump right? And the magic happens?" I asked buyo. Why I didn't know because he was like the third. So he didn't know what I was talking about but he meddled at me anyway.
" well it is late how about I just go to bed" I guess I leaded a bit to hard on the old wood and it broke beneath my weight. As I fell I stared wide eyed at the roof of the receding house. So I could see the small hole which buyo must have found. In retrospect I though it funny but that glimpse of the moon though it scared me. I curled up expecting impact and found myself engulfed in a pink light and floating. I slowed and the ground returned and I could hear crickets and I looked up to see the orange light of sunset.
"Did you feel that?" Inuyasha asked his brother.
"Hm" was his brothers reply. The non committed hunt of always but inu could see the burning curiosity and worry that his golden orbs held. If the well had opened again it was a sure sign that something was up. Either that or someone was trying to draw them there.
Shesshomaru could smell the faint scent that his brother and wife used to carry about coming from the well. The two oldest of the group took a ready stance waiting for a struck and the two girls started to inch closer to their protectors. The twin s although trained well were still to novice to handle much bigger yokai on their own yet. They were almost there but as soon as they were separated they were easily defeated. The atmosphere grew heavy with suspense and anticipation for the small group. Then Airi had enough waiting and ran towards the old well. She was very fast faster than inuyasha due to her skills of spiritual discipline she could enhance certain aspects of her physic to her advantage.
Aimi was close after using her ninja like skills to run about the tree branches.
"Well fuck!" Inuyasha wanted to weight their pros and cons a bit more before rushing into a possible trap ad weight his likely hood of coming out ok from the two pregnant females at home if those two got into trouble, let alone hurt. Sheshomaru was calm like always but he even felt weary of this new change. "This shesshomaru thinks it would be wise to follow. They are going in the same direction we were and we may be able to intercept your wife before she gets hurt" he stated with little change of his ice mask.
"What?! Kagome! How many times have I told her to let me handle things!? Come on!" And the hanyo took off into the forest now picking up his wife's scent. She was 8 months pregnant and should be at home resting not getting herself worked up for what was probably nothing. He knew she missed her family and how this could mean seeing them again but she shouldn't be risking it.
Kagome still had a stubborn streak which lead her to be on the way to the old well. She was round with twins they presumed. And she was far along but not unfit as her husband seem to think. She knew it was mainly his instincts that drove him to be overprotective of her at this stage but she could still fire arrows and do hard work and wasn't physically unable todo things on her own.
The only big problem was the two within her were moving about to much for a comfortable walking pace no matter how slow. So she stopped to pause in a rock when her husband found her.
Inuyasha was first mad at his wife for going out without protection even though he and sheshomaru had been very good about securing the territory and the rumors kept more demons away due to her ever growing status and power matched along with he and is brother. But as he burst though the foliage he found a beautiful sight of his heavenly wife. She had hair down her back and wore her priestess outfit and had a hand gently resting on her belly. Her had the face of the most angelic mother he could ever imagine. Clam and happy even though he could tell how uncomfortable she was with this current pregnancy. She looked up to see his older brother entering behind him.
"So I guess you felt it too?"
"Yeah, are you sure you want to go check it? I mean it could be false"
"I have to know if it is myself and no I won't go jumping in right away" Kagome started to her husband. He relaxed and released a breath he hadn't realized that he had been holding. The two held each other's eyes in silent communication that only people truly connected could, until sheshomaru interrupted their trance.
"As much as this shesshomaru enjoys pack bonding, he would like to remind the others if the two small untrained ruffians that are headed in the direction of the source of mysterious power emanating from the direction of the suss-posed bone eaters well"
And kagome's once serene expression change to anger for the hanyo.
"Inuyasha you did what?!"
"Hey it's not even my fault they took off! And Mr. big and mighty here could have stopped them to! So it's not all my fault!"
"But, you came after me instead of them." She said with a scarily calm face. Inuyasha knew he was in trouble his ears flattened awaiting his punishment.
Kagome turned to sheshomaru and offered her hand to him to help her up. " I will deal with you later" she rose up and walked towards the well with determination, sheshomaru was on her tail.
A bit later
The group of three found the two young girl up in a tree on the edge of the clearing which held the well.
"Girls! What have I told you about running off!" Kagome used her more their voice with the girls. The two have a cringe and slowly made their way down in hopes to lessen hthwir aunts anger.
"Come on kagi" Airi said
"It's not like we're in any danger" Aimi finished
"Just because the area is mostly clear of danger do to their presence doesn't mean that you still shouldn't be weary because because of them and me and Rin and all our efforts and power we have made as many enemies as we have made friends. Although I speak mainly for the humans of our group but that doesn't mean that you aren't targets to get at us. " she continued to scold the two girls until she felt that she had made her point.
Now they decided to check the well which was still sending out signs of its opening.
As kagome neared the well a brown slender hand of a young woman reached out and grabbed the rim of well.
And kagome rushed the best she could and reached down and grabbed the hand of girl and helped haul her up. Once she was sitting down and safe in the side of the well the girl from the future began to laugh.
"Holy cow, its real. The place is real"
She looked about gleefully to the odd group around her.
" So he must be inuyasha and the stoic face bastard behind him must be Shesshomaru and I guess from the descriptions of Miroku and Sango's kids." She paused and turned to claps her right hand on the pregnant woman sitting next to her "And you, my unknowing friend must be my cousin Kagome" and she had a dazzling smile on her cute mocha face.
