Chapter One- The New Circle of Life
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Night
and the spirit of life
Calling
Oh, oh, iyo
Mamela
Oh, oh, iyo
And a voice
with the fear of a child
Answers
Oh, oh, iyo
Oh, mamela
Oh, oh, iyo
Myoga was standing on the highest balcony of Shikon Castle promontory, exhorting the people of Shikon who were gathering below him
Ubukhosi Bo khokho
we ndodana ye sizwe sonke
Wait
There's no mountain too great
Oh, oh, iyo
Hear the words and have faith
Oh, oh, iyo
Have faith
Hela hey mamela
There clouds parted and Inu no Taisho appeared there, in a ghost like image, much like he had when he convinced Inuyasha to return home. He sends his wind which Myoga is blown by, and then he gestured to all the gathered subjects below, who bowed down before the image of their former king.
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
everything we see
into the water
into the truth
in your reflection
He lives in you
The subjects looked towards the sky as Kirara flew over them in her cat form, towards Shikon castle. Just then Inuyasha and Kagome came walking out onto the balcony; a small pink bundle was in Kagome's arms. Myoga took the small bundle from Kagome's arms and smiled. For in his arms was a beautiful baby girl. Walking to the edge of the balcony he held her up before the assembled crowd. The subjects cheered at the site. Inu no Taisho sent another gust of wind at Inuyasha and Kagome to show he is proud of the both of them. They smile at each other and turn their attention back to their daughter.
The baby girl struggled playfully in Myoga's grasp. She also looked all around her, trying to locate her parents. After much cheering from the crowd, Myoga lowered her and gave her back to Kagome. The little girl giggled as soon as she saw both her mom and dad. Inuyasha wrapped an arm tightly around Kagome's waist. Miroku, Shippo, and Sango stood nearby watching their friends. Sango was holding her and Miroku's son, who had been born a couple a months before. "Ah, Ppo - look at that little guy. A chip off the old block! And you gotta know who's gonna raise him..." Miroku asked. Sango giggled at the fact her husband didn't know that the baby was a girl. Shippo thought of his answer.
"His parents?" he answered. By now Kagome, Inuyasha, and Myoga were listening to the two, knowing smiles on their faces. Miroku was silent for a few minutes as he realized Shippo was right.
"Okay sure, get technical. But who's gonna teach him the really important stuff? Like how to belch?" he asked before he burped. Sango rolled her eyes as Kagome just turned to Inuyasha confused. Inuyasha shrugged. "And dig for grubs? I'm telling ya, buddy... it's gonna be like old times. You, me... and the little guy." Everyone chuckled at him
"It is a girl." Myoga stated.
"...Girl." Miroku repeated. After a few minutes realization dawned on the two.
"Girl? ...Oy!" they both said before fainting. Sango shook her head at her husband.
"Really mature." She said, though she knew they couldn't hear her. Kagome laughed and came over to her.
"You married him." Kagome said in a teasing voice. Sango blushed in reply. Inuyasha chuckled as he came to Kagome's side.
"What? Nothing to say to that, Sans?" he asked with a chuckle. Sango stuck her tongue out. "Oh, and you call them immature."
"Anyways," she said, extending out the word to warn them to drop the subject. "What's her name?"
"Rin. Her name is Rin."
Myoga's House
He was painting on the wall of his hut: a picture of the new half demon princess, with the ceremonial mark across her forehead. The picture was next to the old drawing of Inuyasha. Myoga started to laugh to himself. "Ahh, Rin..."
Suddenly the wind began to blow Myoga's short hair around wildly, signifying that Inu no Taisho was nearby. "Ooh, Inu no Taisho! Such a day this has been! Princess Rin's birth... another Circle of Life is complete, and the kingdom's future is once again secure." Myoga said happily. If anyone saw him, they would have probably thought he had lost his mind. And with his age, many already thought he had. Inu no Taisho sent a stronger gust of wind, which blew at the paintings, scattering some of the markings.
"Aaah! Stop it, stop it, stop it! Inu no Taisho- look what you are doing! The Circle is broken now. Why do you" he started until he understood what was going on. "Ooh... there is trouble in the lands." The wind calmed slightly. Myoga looked toward the edge of the painting, at a rough, dark figure. "There is another child? Hmm... Where could this be?" Realization dawned on him with a puff of wind.
"In the Outlands..." he paused, shaking his head. But that is where Inuyasha banished Naraku's followers. Including his most loyal... Kaguya."
The Outlands
A small, young wasp demon landed on the ground; and almost immediately, Sesshomaru appeared, trying to kill it with his claws. "Rrrah!" in one swipe he killed the demon and Sesshomaru smirked in victory.
"Sesshomaru!" a demon woman with long black hair and ice blue eyes yelled. Sesshomaru turned to face her. "Why didn't you kill it with your sword? What's the matter with you?
"But Mother! I will not use a sword that can only save..." Sesshomaru started to explain, but the woman cut him off.
"There is no room for weakness or mistakes here, my son. Remember... Naraku took you in and accepted you as his own son." Kaguya said as she moved closer and pulled Sesshomaru against her. Sesshomaru looked away, his eyes doubtful.
"But he wasn't my father." Sesshomaru said coldly. The woman looked down upon Sesshomaru.
"No... but he chose you to become the next King. When you rule, we shall no longer be forced to live in these dry, barren, disgusting, pathetic, termite-infested Outlands!" she exclaimed while swatting at the ground, railing against fate. Sesshomaru looked down, in quiet agreement. Suddenly, Jaken and Ayame came bounding running towards them, fighting to be the first back with the news.
"Mother! Mother! Mother!" they both screamed, speaking over one another, trying to get the first word in. The woman and Sesshomaru turned to face them.
"We were there- in Shikon Kingdom. We saw the whole thing!" Jaken started. Kaguya looked at them confused.
"What are you talking about?" she shouted, angry that her children had gone to Shikon Kingdom, risking their lives.
"At Shikon Kingdom. We saw everything!" Ayame continued. The two siblings glared at each other.
"We saw Inuyasha's child!" they screamed at the same time. Kaguya's eyes widened in surprise.
"What? Ayame- what did you see?" she demanded. Sesshomaru stood there, not understanding what the big deal was.
"Inuyasha's new child is a girl!" she explained quickly. Jaken stood there, nodding his head in agreement. An evil smile appeared on Kaguya's face.
"A girl!" she exclaimed, before laughing. "Naraku, my beloved... did you hear that? This couldn't be more perfect." Jaken stared at his mother confused, as did Sesshomaru.
"Who's she talking to?" he asked his younger sister. Ayame rolled her eyes at his stupidity.
"Ssshhh. Naraku." She stated before turning her attention back to her mother. Jaken gasped and began to look around.
"Where? Where?" he asked, trying to see the great Naraku. Ayame and Sesshomaru looked at him in disbelief.
"Naraku's dead... genius." Sesshomaru said after a few minutes. Kaguya's eyes darkened at Sesshomaru's words.
"Yes! Because of Inuyasha... if not for him, Naraku would still be King. And I, Kaguya - his loving, devoted Queen!" she said while wrapping her arms around herself and twirling in a circle. Sesshomaru just rolled his eyes.
"You know, speaking of kings... I was thinking, since I am the oldest... maybe I should be King! Huh?" he asked hopefully. Kaguya glared at her eldest son.
"Uh? Don't be a fool, Jaken. Only Sesshomaru can be king." She stated. Jaken rolled his eyes.
"Heh heh... just a thought." he said before sitting down, since he knew what was coming next.
Sesshomaru is the chosen one. We must fulfill Naraku's dying wish, and train Sesshomaru to become King." She explained. Jaken got an evil idea.
"Oh... yeah... oh, yeah. I can do that!" he stated. Kaguya climbed up on a rock to gaze out over the land. The others followed.
"Look... at Shikon Kingdom, my pets. So green... so inviting. That is our home... that is where we belong. And soon, my beloved Naraku... we shall reclaim your kingdom." She said while looking up at the sky. Since they were all so enthralled in their thoughts, none noticed Sesshomaru walking away from them.
"This is so stupid." He said before running off to do more training.
