I own nothing to do with Inuyasha.

Hikaru is an OC.

This story is a co-creation by myself and Wren210.

Look her up!

Battle Scars chapter 2: Hikaru.


"Lord Sesshomaru?!"

They stood thirty feet from each other.

Kagome glared at him until she spoke with her arrow drawn.

"Lord Sesshomaru, Stay where you are. I will protect him."

Sesshomaru silently eyed the woman in front of him.

He was still trying to wrap his head around how his brother's miko was alive and Naraku was dead.

He eyed the boy.

He was, without any shadow of a doubt Naraku's.

He was the spiting image of him. His scent was of Naraku and the Miko's.

Interesting.

Giving how innocent the boy seemed. She didn't have the boy by choice.

Then again, that was just an assumption.

"Miko, I mean no harm to the boy. I just want a word with you." He said.

Kagome glared.

She eyed Sesshomaru as she spoke to her son.

"Hikaru, go to the hut and shut the door. Don't leave until I come for you. Understand?" She asked her son.

Hikaru hugged his momma from behind.

"I can't leave you momma!" He said trying to put on a brave face. But the aura from this youkai in from of them was powerful.

"Hikaru, now." She said.

He released his mother.

"Okay Momma. Please be safe." He said as sprinted towards the hut and slammed the door behind him.

He was out of hearing range.

"So, what do you want?" She asked with her arrow still drew.

"Why does the boy look and smell like Naraku? Why are you not dead? The half breed's beads even shattered." He said.

"I was weak when Naraku took me. He had his way with me. He did everything torturous you could imagine. I managed to purify him. The jewel was reabsorbed into my body. After I defeated him, I ran off to recover. It took me a week to realize I was pregnant. After I learned that, I released Inuyasha from the beads. I couldn't take any chances and I couldn't destroy an innocent life just because of who his father was. He couldn't choose that." She paused looking into his eyes.

She felt tears whell up in her eyes.

"Lord Sesshomaru, I have never asked you for any favors. But please, just give him a chance. He is nothing like Naraku. Please." She eyed him.

Sesshomaru gave one nod.

"I want you and the boy to come back with me. Your safety will be insured." He said.

Luckily Kagome had a barrier around her hut and herself.

Sesshomaru couldn't get to Hikaru if he tried.

"How can I be sure? You and I both know that If Inuyasha finds out about the situation or Hikaru, it won't be good. Especially with him being the idiot he is. Unless he has matured considerably." She said.

"You have my word miko. As lord of the West." Sesshomaru paused.

"He is Inuyasha, he will never change. I will protect you both from him."

Kagome nodded.

"First, I want you to meet Hikaru." She said as she still held her arrow up.

He nodded.

With that Kagome lowered her weapon and turned to walk to the hut. Her barrier around her and her home was still up.

Sesshomau sensed it.

Sesshomaru's voice stopped her after afew steps.

"Everyone will be glad to see you are alive." He said.

He had to admit that he was even relieved to see that she was alive.

"Until they meet Hikaru." She said as she contiued to walk to get her son.

Minutes later Kagome walked back with Hikaru holding her hand and walking behind her.

Once they got five feet from Seshsomaru, Hikaru hid behind his momma's leg.

Sesshomaru eyed the boy.

Hikaru peeped his head around.

He was completely nervous.

Red met Amber.

Kagome still had her weapons, still uncomfortable around Sesshomaru.

"Are you-" Hikaru paused in fear as his knees shook in fear. But he held a straight face.

"Are you gonna hurt my momma?" He asked in a terrified tone.

Sesshomaru lightly kneeled in front of the boy.

He sensed the boys innocence. This boy was not acting. The boy also reacted out of fear. How was the boy even full youkai? The miko was human and Naraku was half demon.

He would find out sooner or later.

"No, I mean no harm to either of you. Tell me, what is your name?" He asked.

"Hi-Hikaru. What is yours?" He asked.

Kagome spoke before Sesshomaru could.

"His name is Lord Sesshomaru."

Hikaru nodded.

"Lord Ses-shoe-murru."

Kagome giggled as she looked at Seshsomaru, who had slight amusment in his eyes.

The boy looked him over for a moment.

He looked at the youkai.

He looked really dangerous. But he hadn't hurt his momma so he would give him a chance.

Hikaru scooted out so that Sesshomaru could see half of his body.

By this point Kagome's smile had faded. She had her guard up.

"I have never met another youkai before." He said as he continued to look at the youkai before him.

Ten minutes later Hikaru stepped from completely behind his mother. He still hugged her leg with one arm.

"H-How do you know my momma?" He asked.

Sesshomaru eyed Kagome for a moment searching for an answer as to what the boy knew.

Kagome shocked her head.

Seshsomaru looked back at the boy.

"She was a friend to my brother." He asked.

Hikaru nodded.

"W-Were you friends with her? Friends are a good thing to have. At least that's what my momma said." He said.

"We were allies against one enemy." He said.

Kagome looked down at her son.

"T-That's good. I'm glad she had you on her side." He said.

He slowly stepped forward to touch his boa.

Sesshomaru let him.

'It's so fluffy.' Hikaru thought.

By this point, Kagome had her hand on the hilt of her sword.

Her son was too trusting. But he was cautious.

Sesshomaru noticed the boy had claws as he lightly touched the boa he was wearing.

Damn, Rin and her daughter had him going soft.

He saw Kagome place her hand on the hilt of her sword once Hikaru got close to him.

She was just protecting her own.

Hikaru stepped back.

Kagome released her sword.

"Lord Sesshomaru," Kagome started.

He looked up at her with the boy still in front of him.

"If you want us to go with you then it will have to be in the morning. Night is falling. You can either fly back to your castle or stay here. It's your choice. We also need to gather our things." She said.

"Wait, we get to go with you?!" Hikaru beamed.

"Yes." Sesshomaru said as he fully stood.

He eyed Kagome.

"If it is alright miko, I will stay." He said.

Kagome nodded.

With that, Hikaru ran towards the hut in excitement.

They had never had a visitor before.

He was so excited.

Kagome was the opposite.

She was anxious. She couldn't fully trust Sesshomaru.

This was going to be a rough night.
