Chapter 1: The Beginning
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight or Inuyasha
Burnt flesh, blood and the sweet cloying scent of death permeated the air. It looked as if there had been a massacre. In the midst of death and flame crouched a young child, no older than two. Her sapphire eyes flitted about in horror. She herself was dripping in blood. Her shirt hung in tatters, her mutilated flesh visible. Two men approached, each casting wary eyes at the destruction. The silver haired man examined the child with golden eyes. The red haired man stood tall, senses on high alert.
"She did this, didn't she?" The red haired one asked, averting his evergreen eyes.
"Shippo, destroy everything that's left," the silver haired one demands.
"Of course. Sesshomaru, where are you taking her?" Shippo responds hands already lighting with flames.
"The monk has reincarnated. She will live with him," Sesshomaru says picking up the girl.
Shippo burns everything as soon as Sesshomaru was out of sight. He turns his back and walks towards the limo. Inside, Sesshomaru holds the child gently, as if she were fragile. Shippo looks at her back, blood clinging to it.
"She's healing," Shippo mutters amazed.
"Hn," Sesshomaru grunts.
The child's back which was once mutilated, was healed. The only signs of it happening were the thin whip like scars that took place on her back. She turned in Sesshomaru's arms, eyes landing on Shippo. The girl giggled, when he waved to her.
"So, you think she'll remember?" Shippo asks breaking the silence.
"Yes, this time she'll be prepared. I will not let the jewel take her again," Sesshomaru declares, his left hand balling into a fist.
The girl turns again this time facing Sesshomaru. She nuzzles into his chest, her tiny fingers threaded through his locks of silver. Her blue eyes close. Sesshomaru holds her tighter, breathing in her scent of raw and pure power.
"The first thing this one will teach you is to mask your aura and scent. For now you need rest Little One," Sesshomaru states softly.
"It's time," Shippo says as he gets out of the car.
They walk up to a small house. Sesshomaru places the child on the doorstep and rings the bell before disappearing. Green and gold eyes watch as a woman opens the door and picks up the child. Her eyes dart around the yard, before she takes the child inside. The woman cleans the dirt smudged and blood coated girl before laying her in a crib containing a small boy of the same age.
"Live, Kagome. We will meet again," Sesshomaru utters before disappearing.
Three years later
"Children, come down here. There's some people I'd like you to meet," a woman with medium length brown hair and violet eyes calls.
Two children run down the stairs. The first one is a boy about five years old. He has black hair with a violet tint in a ponytail at the nape of his neck. His violet eyes widen. He stands defensively in front of a small girl, who could be his twin. The girl peers out from behind her twin, with sapphire eyes that has streaks of grey in them. She has black hair with a blue tint to it. She taps him on the shoulder as if telling him it was okay.
"These are the Kiryus, their sons will be staying with us for a while," the woman informs them.
The adults go into another room, leaving four children alone. The Kiryu boys have short silver hair and violet eyes. One looks pale, almost sickly; while the other looks rather healthy. The girl smiles and takes off. She runs outside through the open door.
"Ugh, 'Gome. Come back, you can't just leave me here with them," the black violet haired groans after her.
"You have to come and find me 'Roku. And don't forget to bring our guests," the girl chimes.
"Fine," her brother grumbles.
The three boys go outside, looking in the shrubbery for the girl. One of the Kiryu boys began to cough, it was the sickly looking one. The other Kiryu boy stops and goes by his twin's side.
"Hey, is he alright?" A tall man with red hair and green eyes inquires.
"Shippo," the black violet haired boy greets.
"Miroku, who are they? Where's your sister?" Shippo asks.
"Well, I don't know their names and 'Gome's disappeared again," the boy, Miroku replies.
"I knew he shouldn't have taught her that," Shippo sighs.
"Teach me what?" The girl says dropping down from a tree.
She goes over and stands by Shippo. The girl tilts her head, looking quite puzzled. She walks over to the twins. She hugs the sickly looking one.
"Right, I almost forgot. I'm Miroku, and this is my twin Kagome," Miroku introduces.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Ichiru and that's Zero," says the one enveloped by Kagome.
"That's wonderful, I'm taking you lot back to the house," Shippo says.
"But we were playing a game," Kagome pouts.
"Oi, you can walk, right?" Shippo says to Ichiru.
"Um, yes," Ichiru replies.
"Good," Shippo responds as he's scooping Kagome up into his arms.
She laughs, and throws her arms around his neck. He chuckles pulling her closer and leading the boys back to the house.
"Kagome," Shippo says.
"Yes," Kagome replies.
"You aren't supposed to hide your scent and aura like that. Do you know how much you worried us and your brother?" Shippo utters.
"I'm not in trouble, am I?" Kagome whispers.
"No, just don't do it again," He responds tightening his hold on her.
"I won't," promises Kagome.
"Aiya, I found them wandering about the forest," Shippo says letting go of Kagome.
"Please, it's not like it's dangerous," Kagome replies haughtily.
"Kagome, Miroku, you both know not to go into that forest. I'm glad you're safe, but next time don't drag our guests into these things," their mother Aiya says sternly but relief still colored her voice.
"Mom, we do it all the time. Why stop now?" Miroku responds.
"It could still be dangerous," Ichiru protests.
"Oh, and what exactly is so dangerous that's out there?" Kagome states.
"Vampires?" Zero divulges.
"Tch, so?" Kagome presses.
"Kagome! That's enough. If I tell you not to go into the forest you do not go in there," Aiya declares.
"She's not always like this. 'Gome's just in one of her moods," Miroku says.
"Behave," Shippo warns.
Kagome gets up and leaves. Ichiru and Zero follow after her. She goes down to the basement and pauses. She hears voices behind the door. One of them is her father. She sighs and turns around. She motions for Zero and Ichiru to follow.
"Are you okay?" Ichiru asks.
"Mhm, just… it's nothing," Kagome replies, heading back to the living room.
"Dad's in the basement," Kagome announces before snuggling into Miroku's side.
Shippo chuckles, draping a blanket over the pair. He grins, and leaves. His abrupt departure, left the Kiryu twins confused. They too, fell asleep.
