WHAT IF: RELATIVES

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters associated with the said above.

Summary: What if Inuyasha and Seshumuru's father had a sister and she was related to Kagome as well.

This is my first fanfic so please be gentle.

Her name was Andrea Wildflower, a name from her mother's family. She was a hanyo of sorts. She was half inu-yuoki and half something else, but not human. She was half elven. Elves had all but disappeared from the world by this time, but in the time of her father they were still common. Her mother, Sheka was full elven and the ruler of her land. She already had an heir to her title, her son Terkan. His father died in a war between the yuoki and elves. So an alliance was needed to keep the peace. Sheka made the alliance happen by becoming the Mate to the lord of the western lands. The first tai-yuoki, Toisho, the alliance contract included the birth of a child. Be it male or female, they would be the next tai-yuoki of the western lands. That is when Andrea was born to the couple.

Andrea was raised as a princess should, learning to rule as tai-yuoki, but also how to defend that rule. Andrea had more elven abilities than yuoki. She was able to cast magic of the elves. So an instructor from the elven lands was needed. The best mage from the elven lands was her brother, Terkan. Sheka, their mother thought it would be a good idea to send Terkan to train Andrea for they would be able to get to know one another. So Terkan was sent as Andrea's instructor in the arts of magery.

Terkan came to love his little sister deeply. He taught her everything that he knew and Andrea became as powerful and skilled as he was in the magic arts. The one power that she had that he did not was the gift of foresight. This power was more a miko power than a mage power. So she was taught in the ways of the miko as well. Andrea became a very powerful Mage and a more powerful miko.

With her power, Andrea had seen Terkan's soul mate in a prophetic dream. His soul mate was another elf, but of a rival clan. Since her brother was her confidant, Andrea told her brother about the dream. At first he did not believe her. Till one day he was in the western forest and came upon the said elven woman. She was a beauty to behold, long black hair, violet eyes, and perfectly pointed ears. He did not know that this was in fact the elf that his sister spoke of. Terkan fell instantly in love with Kashu as did she fall in love with Terkan.

Terkan told his mother as to whom he was going to marry and she forbade it. As did Kashu's parents. So the two left the land of the elves and exiled themselves in the land of men.

50 years later.

Toisho and Sheka's marriage were broke for they both fell in love with someone else. He with another yuoki and her with another elf, so they parted ways as friends and the alliance would go on because of Andrea. In turn each had another child. Sheka had a girl and Toisho had a son. Andrea's brother's name was Togashi and her sister's name was Sherrill. Andrea loved them both, but she still loved her older brother as well. She would wonder where he was at, especially at night. She would wish upon the stars hoping he was happy.

Togashi became her new confidant for she got to know her little brother very well. Togashi was a full demon, and he loved his sister very much. He knew her every dream and passion. He also knew she did not want the title of Lady of the western lands. So Togashi devised a plan to help her. When he came of age he mated a demoness, Andrea knew he did not love this demon but it was out of necessity he mated the woman. That demoness bore him a son, Seshumuru. At first Seshumuru looked a lot like his father, blue striped markings and rounded face, but this would change. This son of Togashi, Andrea knew, would be the perfect Lord of the Western Lands. So, Andrea, relying upon an old tradition, she gave him the title of Lord by way of proxy and blood. This went against her father's wishes, but she did not care for this is what she wanted and had seen it in a dream.

By Blood means that she had her young nephew bite and drink some of her blood. That was the day that she realized he was really blood thirsty. For when Andrea put him to her bosom and had him bite, he took too much blood. For his features changed that night. They became more chiseled and elven like, his ears became pointed like and elf's and his markings became red. This was mix between his father's blue and Andrea's violet markings. There was also a moon crescent symbol that appeared on Seshumuru's forehead. This marked him as heir to the western lands by proxy. Togashi was amazed by this transformation. That was when Seshumuru's mother entered the room and saw what had happened to her son. She was so appalled that she tried to kill Andrea for this great insult to her son and family. The demoness grabbed Andrea by the throat and slamming her against the wall. Togashi saw this and tried to get his mate to stop and leave his sister alone but she would not let go. He was about to take his mates life when Andrea curtly shook her head no.

Togashi knew why, for Andrea knew her brother could not live with himself if he took his mates life. So Andrea excised her right as the next tai-yuoki, and called the guard. The guard came upon the scene and along with the sibling's father. Their father was very angry at his son's mate for this great insult by trying to kill his daughter. Toishio was about to take his son's mate's life but Andrea spoke in a choked tone, "I cal..lled hear t..o witne..ss this. So I a..m justif..ed." Using her miko powers Andrea purified her brother's mate. Togashi was very proud of his sister for she was a very forgiving soul and hated to kill anything. Also he was sadden at the loss of his mate. Some years later he found the love of his heart, a human. In turn Inuyasha was born.

500 years later

A woman was in the hospital giving birth to her first child. Ms Higashi gave birth to a little girl, Kagome. This child's parents were Terkan and his lady love, Kashu. Terkan knew kagome would be a full elf. So he put a concealment spell on her to make her age and look like a human. This spell would be in place until the time was right. Some years laterher brother, Souta was born. The four lived happily for a few years but then Terkan was killed. He was shot by an assassian at the shrine, where the bone eaters well resided. They never found out who shot him. For he was killed, not by a gun, but by a special poisoned arrow. This arrow was made especially to kill his kind. Which means that either a yuoki or renegade elf knew who and what he was.

So Kashu send word to his mother immedately but she never showed up for the burial ceromony. The ceromony was held in the fuedal era. Andrea did show up though. She found out she had a young neice and nephew but they were not allowed to come through the well. Since Andrea was not on good terms with her mother, the elf queen never found out she still had an heir to her title through her grandchildren.

We all know what happens some years later. A centipede demon comes though the well and rips the shikon no tama from Kagome's side and it shatters, but her is a part of the story that you have not heard yet. The story of Andrea and her relatives.
