A New Day

The sun rose over the horizon and two half-demon's sighed in relief. The moonless night was over. Inuyasha hadn't changed much, his dog ears were still the same as were his golden eyes and claws he had gotten a little taller and had a bit more calm to his features. His silver hair had been cut so it would stay the same length that it was when he was fifteen. He always had Tetsusaiga near him and his other arm was wrapped around another half-demon.

His mate was curled up next to him in a cat like fashion she had cats ears poking out from under midnight back silky hair that cascaded down her face, back and shoulders like a waterfall. Her brown eyes were watching the sunrise and she snuggled into Inuyasha's warmth. Kagome and Inuyasha had been together for a long time.

And they had a small family to prove it…

"Mother!" shouted an annoyed voice.

Kagome sighed and got out of her mates embrace to see what the matter was. Her sleek black cats tail poked out from under her short white and blue kimono she had her curved and dainty cats claws at her sides and her weapon Exscarra at her hip.

Kagome ran with feline speed to her home, a modest place that she called home. Inuyasha and her had built it from the ground up, her friends demon slaying village was in the background. They lived on the outskirts with a slightly bigger house than normal to support a growing family.

Kagome pushed the curtained doorway to the side and smiled at her children. "What's wrong Kiyomi?" she asked.

Her fifteen year old daughter looked very similar to Kagome at that age but she had little black dog ears poking out from her wavy locks and a dog tail that forced her to tear a hole in her cloths so it wouldn't be uncomfortable. Her eyes were a golden brown and she was fond of the colour red and of beating up demons just like her father.

"Keh" she said and crossed her arms and looked away closing her eyes like her father used to do a long time ago "Rye hid the Coming Darkness again and Kitsu's in on it!" she raged and punched the ground where her eight year old brother was standing a second before.

Kagome put a hand to her head. Oh Rye… what am I going to do with you? Kagome picked up little Kitsu and he stuck his tongue out at his big sister.

Kitsu had silver hair and brown eyes he had human ears with dog claws and a cat's tail like his mum yet he was only eight. He had a little axe that he had nicknamed 'pointy' that hung from his waist that was made from a splinter of the Tensiagua that Sesshomaru had kindly given and had the handle of Miroku's old staff and he ran around chasing the boys who teased him with it all day. Kagome was often cross with him for doing so, he had mastered Shippo's heart-scar and his axe did have some demonic powers but he wasn't old enough yet to learn them the same goes with his claws.

Kiyomi looked almost exactly like her mother but she had dog features instead of cat, she had the same attitude as her dad and had learnt the Iron Reaver soul stealer from him when she was six and the Purifying blades just like her mother. She mostly carried a spear that would compact into a penny shaped thing she wore around her neck, it was called Coming Darkness and had the power to force the enemy to release all their demonic aura at once so that they would know how strong it was. It was made from her grandfather's fang and a spear from her father's Adamant Barrage.

Kagome sniffed the air for her second oldest son, Rye wasn't too far away.

Kitsu bounced over to his big sister and got on his knees to apologise "I'm sorry Kiyomi! Don't hurt me! Rye promised to teach me how to fight better if I did!"

Kiyomi's expression softened and she picked up her bother and hugged him "Don't you worry much, its Rye I'm mad at" Kagome smiled at her oldest and youngest kids together and then crouched down and ran off to find her son. She found him in the nearby woods staring blankly at the sky.

"Rye!" Kagome called from the ground "Kiyomi wants her Coming Darkness back" she said and jumped up next to him.

Her eldest son looked a lot like Inuyasha at a black moon his hair flowed like a black waterfall and his brown eyes held all human emotions at once yet when he fought it would vanish and be replaced by bloodlust. He had a pair of duel swords across his back, one sword that had spilt into two blades down the narrowest part on the sword when he had mastered then, they shared the same sheath. He called them Yin and Yang one had demonic powers and the other held the spiritual powers he gained from his mother.

It was forged from his parents claws, one was a black with a scared glow and the other was white with a demonic aura, it had a very powerful technique that was called Equal Balance where the swords took half of the strength from its opponent and transferred into the blades so the winner won by being the better swords master than the most powerful.

Rye looked at his mother for a second before sighing and looking at the sky again. "Kiyomi makes a fuss out of everything" he said and pulled a penny on a necklace out from his robes that were very similar to Inuyasha's kimono only his son had blue mixed in with the red.

His black cat ears were flat against his head in boredness, he had cat claws but no tail. He lay back and sighed again.

Kagome ran her fingers through his long hair. "What's the matter?" she asked gently. She touched the Yin-Yang blades and they pulsed under her fingers in recognition.

Rye did the same with Exscarra "Kiyomi thinks she is so much better than me, what an idiot, she send her own mother to get her weapon back" his claws had mastered the Spirit slash and Blades of Blood yet he hardly ever used them.

"Kiyomi is hitting that age, you just need to grin and bear, it Rye" Kagome said wisely. Rye knew that his mother was right.

"I hope she isn't too mad" he said, Rye was really a lot like his mother, selfless and family centred. Kagome had been very happy that he had grown up so calm he was fourteen yet had more patience than an adult twice his age, except with his sister.

Kagome jumped down from the tree and paused for a second until she heard Rye land next to her. They walked back to the village in silence but it was the sort of quiet that told someone that they knew each other so well that they didn't need to talk.

Kagome and Rye entered their house and Kiyomi started to throw her long put off tantrum "Rye you son of a bitch! If you want a fight you only had to ask! How could you sink so low?"

Rye walked right past her and tossed the Coming Darkness over his shoulder. "You are too excitable" he said looking over his shoulder at his sister's surprised face. Kitsu watched with interest and Kagome got their breakfast ready.

Kiyomi and Rye had a whispered argument that Kagome heard anyway and they decided that they would fight without weapons to see who was the strongest.

Kagome frowned at them "You two make my hair go grey" she complained "Why can't you just get along, you fight like an old married couple" the siblings froze and looked nervously at each other. Kagome smirked to herself and her ears heard her husband returning.

She stood up as he entered and gave him a flying kiss, he caught her waist and kissed back.

Kiyomi and Rye covered their eyes "Ah!" Kiyomi shouted "I've been permanently scarred!"

Inuyasha ignored his daughter but sent a frown her way "How are you?" he asked Kagome kissing her nose and tweaking her left ear.

Kagome purred for a second then said "I'm fine. We've been invited to a duel to the death and Sango and asked if we could join them in hunting a demon that's been annoying a local village"

Inuyasha sighed "Again?" Kagome nodded and rolled her eyes before sitting down and getting their food out. "By the way who is duelling?" Inuyasha asked sitting next to her.

Kagome pointed to their two eldest kids and Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "I swear that we'll have to give them subjugation beads too, does Miroku have any?"

That shut up their kids arguing. Kitsu rolled around on the floor in laughter "You'll get sitted like daddy!"

Inuyasha growled playfully and pounced at him "We can get you some while we're at it" he tickled his son until he was red in the face. Kiyomi and Rye laughed too and forgot their petty argument.

Kagome laughed to herself and put their food on the table "Alright everyone eat up quickly, we've got to get going soon. Kagome picked up her bag and started packing her medical kit. "I swear that Sango will never sleep peacefully until I find what is wrong with him" she muttered.

Inuyasha pulled Kitsu off his head and asked "Benvolio again?" he asked with interest. Kagome had become the top healer in the demon slaying village and she loved helping others, she was also the head priestess of this area despite being a half-demon.

Kagome sighed and swallowed her food "Yep, I can't find anything wrong with him! Poor Sango, she's so worried about him" her ears twitched and she went to the door. "Morning Miroku!" she said brightly.

Miroku was older and had longer hair but he was still the same man that they had travelled with years ago. Luckily Sango had given him enough concussions for him to only lecture her, and even then he had some lumps on his head.

He smiled kindly "Morning Kagome, I trust you are all well?"

Kagome smiled like the sun and nodded "We were just having breakfast, want to join us?" she asked inviting him inside.

"Gladly, is Inuyasha home as well?"

"Hey Miroku!" he shouted from inside "Got any subjugation beads on you?"

"Oh no!" Kagome heard a crash and ran inside with Miroku on her heals. Kagome gasped when she saw Inuyasha trying to separate Kiyomi and Rye with their drawn weapons and fangs bared at each other.

Kiyomi shoved her dad off her and swung at her younger brother with her spear "You coward! Fight like a man!"

"You're one to talk!" Rye yelled back and knocked her spear aside and tried to lop her head off with the Yin-Yang blades.

Kagome squeaked as Kitsu nearly got his tail copped off and then she had a hand to her mouth when Inuyasha got in between them and grabbed their weapons with his bare hands. "Listen you two I'll have Totosai dismantle these if you don't stop fighting!" he got stabbed with Coming Darkness and then with one of the Yin-Yang blades through the chest.

Kagome lost her temper she grit her teeth and a wave of spiritual power exploded from her "Enough!" she yelled as everything froze in place at her command.

She walked forwards and took the Coming Darkness and the Yin-Yang blades from her children. Then she took out some prayer beads and draped them around her children's necks while keeping a word in mind and a prayer in her actions.

She released everyone and they all fell to their knees at her power. Kagome bend down and loosened Inuyasha's robe.

"Dad!" Kiyomi shouted and dropped to her knees with tears in her eyes "Dad, I'm so sorry!" she held his hand as he grunted at the stinging herbs that Kagome was cleaning his wounds with.

"Doesn't matter" he grunted "But you two are grounded until these heal" he said in a final way.

Kiyomi and Rye at once stated to complain but Kagome said in the same tone she used to use for the 'Sit boy' when Inuyasha was bad. "Get bent" and they were flung to the floor by their beads.

"What!" Rye shouted and began to claw at his in an irritated way "Mum? What did you do?" he asked as Kiyomi began to wrestle with her own swearing and shredding the furniture at the same time.

"I gave you some bead as well, you must learn to behave. I'm disappointed that it has come to this, your both just like your father" she grumbled. "Whenever Inuyasha or I say 'Get bent'" (they were both flung to the ground again) "That will happen"

Kiyomi and Rye looked at each other horrified "Hey, but what happens if only one of us needs to get bent?" Kiyomi asked.

Miroku smirked "Well you two will just have to stay out of trouble for each other's sake" he said and sat down at the edge of the table. He laughed as the two exchanged scared glances.

Kitsu crawled out from under the table and stood up saying brightly "Hello Miroku! How are Rashell and Lilly and Mhitto and Ben?"

Miroku ruffled his short hair "They are fine, thank you. Benvolio is still not talking though. And how are you Kitsu?" he asked the small child.

Kitsu smiled "I'm fine, but I keep getting hit on the head by Kiyomi and Rye" he said rubbing it slightly. "Can I come over and play later?"

Kagome nodded and Miroku said that it was fine. "I'm sorry that you had to catch us in an argument, Miroku" Kagome apologised while finishing tying the bandage across Inuyasha's chest.

Miroku held up a hand "Its fine Kagome, we have just as bad at my house too" they exchanged a meaningful smile as they both had children that battled each other daily. As the top priest and priestess of the village they had become like cousins or brother and sister. Miroku sighed and stood "Inuyasha, can I talk to you outside?" Miroku asked.

"Sure" Inuyasha said and stepped into the warm sunlight. Kagome knew that they didn't want her to overhear and she asked Kiyomi and Rye to help with the dishes while she went to Sango's.

"What's the problem Miroku?" Inuyasha asked when they had walked a little way.

Miroku stopped under a tree and leaned against it "I've been getting reports of more demons appearing in the east, south and north but not the west" he sighed and slid to the ground in tiredness. "That wouldn't bother me so much if only I knew what was keeping them so at bay"

Inuyasha scoffed slightly "It's pretty obvious" he said irritably "Sesshomaru must be keeping them in check, remember he and Kagura had a set of twins about eighteen years back"

Miroku nodded "I know. There is also another thing that has been bothering me, I don't want Kagome or Sango to hear this but a strange person has been sighted lingering around the village every so often"

Inuyasha looked surprised "A stranger in our village?"

Miroku nodded. "A young boy was walking back with his grandma and then they saw a beautiful woman walking away from your house with a golden bird flowing her-"

"That's not possible!" Inuyasha interrupted "Kagome and I would have smelt if any strangers had been near this village let alone near our house" he was secretly worried because he knew that Miroku wouldn't have spoken about this unless it was worrying news.

Miroku nodded "I know and I doubted the child's report for a while but then I saw the golden bird last night and I knew that the strange woman would be wandering but I found no trace of her or the bird after that"

Inuyasha crossed his arms and said quietly "Well, she hasn't caused any trouble so far. Maybe we should let her be until there is something to worry about"

Miroku agreed and they went back to the village to see who was requesting their assistance for demon slaying next. As head fighter and village protector Inuyasha had to be at most meetings but he often fell asleep during them.

Kagome entered Sango's house and gently shook her awake. "Sango" Kagome murmured softly.

Sango was older and taller and had more scars than when she was eighteen and she had only just got her figure back after her fourth child that she swore would be their last.

Sango fluttered her eyes open and sat up groaning. "Oh, hi Kagome, thanks for coming so early" she yawned and hugged her best friend who was more like a sister.

"My pleasure, Sango. How are all of you?" Kagome asked stepping back to let her friend get up.

Sango stretched "Well Rashell and Lilly have been training like, I don't know what. They are both really good with their scythes now. Mhitto has passed his latest test and is a proper priest according to Miroku, and Benvolio…" she trailed off and looked at her youngest son.

Kagome followed her gaze to the young boy. He had his dad's looks but his mother's kind wisdom in his mismatched eyes, his left was a brilliant violet like his dad and the other a chestnut brown like his mother. He had an odd birthmark across his forehead that looked a little like a brown ash smudge.

Kagome bend down to look at him. "Hello Ben. How are you today?" she asked him in a gentle voice. The child was four years old and he smiled toothily up at the half-demon and raised his arms to silently ask to be picked up.

Kagome picked him up and smiled at him. Sango smiled as well and then sat down and got out Kagome's healing kit. "You still think that he is ill?" Kagome asked sighing slightly as she put the toddler down.

Sango looked at her best friend "I do. I can't think of anything else that would stop him from talking" Benvolio sat on his mother's lap and laughed silently up at her. He hadn't uttered a word since he had been born, he had even cried quietly as a baby!

Kagome laughed as well and tickled him carefully with her fingers. He squirmed and wriggled and Sango joined in after a minute of watching her son giggle so much. The boy gasped loudly when the two women stopped tickling him.

"I don't know Sango, he seems pretty happy to me" Kagome said kissing his nose. Benvolio made a grabbing motion at her face and she leaned in so he could give her a sloppy kiss on her forehead.

Sango smiled lovingly at her baby boy. "He is, I've never seen him frown or look unhappy. I would think that if I know what's wrong then I'll feel better" she kissed her little one and Kagome asked him to open his mouth really wide to see down his throat.

She had keen eye sight in dark places and couldn't see a thing wrong with the boy. "There isn't anything there, Sango. I promise" Kagome said after a while. Kagome looked through her bag and brought out a little herb.

"Benvolio, can you open wide again for me?" she asked him. He stuck his tongue out at her and then opened his mouth "See, even the sick boy is getting bored of all this worrying" Kagome told her and as fast as lightning pasted a sticky bad smelling past on the back of the boys throat.

He coughed for a while and swallowed a bit then quietened down. Kagome packed up her stuff and Sango thanked her for her help "Your welcome, Sango. Give me a call if there isn't any improvements" Sango gave her a hug then Kagome bent down to the little one.

"You hate this paste, don't you?" Kagome asked and Benvolio nodded and mock coughed again. "If you talk or laugh out loud then all this would stop, you know" Kagome continued.

Benvolio considered for a minute before leaning up to Kagome's ear and whispering so quietly that even Kagome had trouble hearing it. "Give me time"

Sango and Kagome were delighted in the big step forwards and even more astonished by the wisdom in his answer.

But the happy moment was broken up by the sound of clashing blades.

Wow, that was intense.

Sorry to cut it short but the more reviews I get the more motivated I'll be to give you the next chapter, that has already been writen I might add, and you will meet the rest of the next generation living in the Demon slaying village!
