A Second Chance
Chapter 3- Mourning Kagome's Death
'No! No! This is a dream! A nightmare! This is not true! It can't be! It can't be!' Inuyasha sobbed as he clutched the dead body of Kagome, her head lolling to the side.
Her lungs finished taking in air, her heart stopped beating, her eyes were lifeless and unblinking. Her chest was still oozing blood, pooling around her and Inuyasha's body and staining his shirt. Like he cared.
Inuyasha's body started pulsing. He was whimpering, clutching his mate's body closer to his. Inuyasha's fangs lengthened, as did his claws. He lifted his head and depressed yet angry red eyes glowed in the darkness. One jagged, purple stripe adorned each of his cheeks.
He got up and ran. He didn't run to the hospital. He didn't run back home. He ran to his forest. The forest where he lost fifty years of his life but was worth it when he met fiery Kagome of the future.
Inuyasha's youkai side took over, his hanyou and human side couldn't handle the pain and receded, letting their youkai side to take over. He howled an anguish howl, just like the one when Kagome left him, except this one was more heartbreaking.
Silver, clear tears trailed down his cheeks, not wiping them off. Everyone, human, youkai and hanyou alike heard the howl. They started crying when it took its effect on them once more. The youkai's clutched their mates to their chests and never wanting to let go of them. They also pitied and sympathized the one who howled, knowing they just their mate.
Inuyasha ran full speed towards his forest, not stopping but he lifted his hand over Kagome's lifeless eyes and closed them, not wanting to see the eyes that use to hold a ferocity to bring the most feared of Japan on their knees, begging for them to leave with their lives now only her eyes were dead, lifeless nothingness staring back at him.
Inuyasha's tears blurred his vision, but he did not slow down to get to his destination. After five minutes has past, Inuyasha bounded up the steps of Higurashi Shrine and then rushed to his forest at the back of the shrine grounds.
Inuyasha ran to the spot where he first saw his woman and pups in 5oo years. Inuyasha gently laid Kagome on the ground, near a tree. He sniffed out the forest and smelled only nocturnal animals scurrying about. No intruders or someone that will hurt his mate.
Inuyasha ran out of the forest, gazing at his dead love. He turned around and ran closer to the Higurashi home. No light was on meaning no one was home or they were already asleep. Inuyasha jumped and landed on the windowsill of Kagome's old room.
He experimented to see if the window was locked. It was. He bounded downstairs and circled around the house to see if there were any windows opened or something so he can enter the house.
He was growling, getting frustrated when he couldn't find an entrance. He jumped and landed on a windowsill. He peered in the room and he saw that Souta was snoring loudly on his bed. Inuyasha tried to see if he locked his window or not.
Inuyasha pushed the window and it opened. He grabbed the first aid kit in the bathroom then headed towards the kitchen and grabbed three water bottles from the kitchen and filled it with water. He then grabbed two clean rags. He didn't care if Mrs. Higurashi minds or not.
He put it under his arm and jumped in Kagome's old room. He searched for clothing so she can wear those instead of bloody ones when she goes to the afterlife. Inuyasha got out a black bra and panty, a red tank top, his trademark colour, black capris that have cuffs at the end.
Inuyasha folded the clothes and jumped back out of Souta's room instead of using Kagome's. Inuyasha bounded towards the forest and to where his dead love lay. Inuyasha carefully slipped the clothes off of Kagome's dead body and laid her on his shirt that he took off.
He was shirtless and the dried blood that seeped through his shirt and on his skin was itching but that was far from his mind. He grabbed one rag a water bottle and squirted water on the rag.
Inuyasha cleaned Kagome's body with the rag, till no more blood was seen on her body. He cleaned around the wound and inspected it. Inuyasha opened the first aid kit and dug into it to see if there was anything he could use to the wounds.
He didn't know how to use them since he only used nature's herbs and his healing abilities to heal. Inuyasha smelled familiar herbs to treat these kinds of wounds and headed towards it.
When he found the herbs, he plucked seven of them out of the ground. They were soft mushy leaves that were good for healing bloody wounds. Inuyasha rushed back to Kagome and crushed the leaves on a flat rock he found on his way back to Kagome.
Inuyasha gently put it on Kagome's bullet wound and grabbed bandages from the kit and wrapped it around Kagome's chest and stopped two inches beneath her breasts. Inuyasha's tears halted and he gazed longingly at his dead mate.
'Stupid hanyou! Why did he break mate's heart!? If he didn't, mate wouldn't be dead, mate would be alive and Kasha wouldn't hate us,' Inuyasha's youkai snarled but then he broke down crying.
Inuyasha dressed Kagome in her new clothes and started digging a hole to bury her in. The sun was rising and Inuyasha finished digging the hole. He swept through the forest and tried to find a platform Kagome can lay in. After looking for ten minutes, Inuyasha found a flat rock near the bank of a river. It was a bit bigger than Kagome's size though.
He tugged the rock out of the ground and lifted it up and jumped back to Kagome's body. He laid Kagome on the rock and headed towards the Higurashi home to wake up his mom and brother in law.
With Shippou, Kasha and Yasha…
"Why's mommy and daddy taking so long?" Kasha asked as she munched on an apple.
The two hanyou's stayed up all night, waiting for their parents to come home. Shippou had his head on the kitchen counter. He groaned. Stupid Inuyasha, he has the ability to stay up all night long and still have energy for the next day, so does his kids.
Shippou groaned, "Maybe they went to a friends house? I dunno?"
Kasha and Yasha nodded but then they felt something within them. It felt like they lost a part of themselves. The two hanyou's knew something bad happened and their eyes were wide and alert.
Yasha jumped off the stool he was sitting on and grabbed his older brother's hand and started dragging him to the front door. Kasha left her apple on the counter and ran to put her shoes on. She then grabbed Shippou's hand and started to drag him outside while Yasha slipped on his sneakers.
Shippou yawned, "Where are we going?"
"I have a bad feeling that something bad happened to mommy," Kasha said as worry started clouding her eyes.
"Me too. Like, when something really, really special to you was taken from you," Yasha described to his brother.
Shippou got the drift and he saw how restless his younger siblings were looking. He became serious when he heard what Yasha and Kasha said. He felt that feeling when he was younger, when his parents were killed. He thought he would forever be surrounded by darkness, but the light came when he met Kagome and Inuyasha, his surrogate parents.
Shippou knew that children of youkai's or a hanyou have had a special connection with their parents. If one parent died or is in danger, the children or child will feel it and their youkai blood will became restless till they find out what happened.
Shippou became restless too and he sniffed out the scents of Inuyasha and Kagome. He grasped the two hanyou's and placed them on his back. Using his demon speed, he followed Inuyasha and Kagome's scents, but Inuyasha's scent was that of a demon and Kagome's blood was heavy in the air.
He ran, dodged people and never did he stop for a break. He saw shrine steps and his parents scent lead up it. Taking four steps at a time, he made it at the top of the stairs and he saw six adults, one teenager and two kids.
Shippou's eyes widened when he recognized whom the people were. He dashed towards them and skidded in front of them, the two hanyou's ran up to their daddy and started pulling his pant leg. Kasha didn't care right now and her youkai side was becoming angry when she didn't see her mommy.
"Miroku, Sango, Kouga, Ayame?" Shippou gasped.
"Shippou!" Sango and Miroku cried when they noticed him.
Kino and Hanah were introduced to Kouga, his mate, Shippou their god-brother, Inuyasha their god-father mate of Kagome, Mrs. Higurashi and her brother and vice versa. Kouga and Ayame where quiet, knowing full well what happened. They can smell it, Kagome died. Ayame were on the verge of tears and Kouga was solemn.
"Daddy? Where's Mommy?" Kasha asked.
Inuyasha was still in his youkai form but his hanyou side could see what was happening. The youkai knew the two hanyou's were his pups. His. Yasha and Kasha weren't shocked at the appeared of their daddy's because when they turned full youkai they would look similar to him.
He bent down to their level and hugged them to his chest, tears overflowing from his eyes and trailing down his cheeks. He sobbed and nuzzled his daughter's hair. He carried them in his arms and got up, facing the people who were in front of him; tears still streaming but he paid no heed.
"Kagome…she's…dead," Inuyasha sobbed.
Everybody was shocked. When the information sank in, Ayame let the tears come and Sango started sobbing, clutching Miroku's shirt. Miroku too started crying, but he didn't make a sound, he wrapped his arms around his wife. Their children started crying and their parents bent down to hug them.
Kouga too started crying silently, hugging his mate. Mrs. Higurashi let the words sink in. She dropped to her knees and started crying full-blown sobs. Souta too started crying along with Shippou.
Yasha and Kasha were frozen in their daddy's arms. They both jumped out of their daddy's arms and leapt towards the forest that held their mommy's body. Inuyasha became alerted when his pups weren't in his arms. He quickly bounded after them and everybody chased after them.
Everybody was enveloped in the forest and kept on running till they found Kagome's dead body lying peacefully on a rock platform. Kasha and Yasha dropped on the ground and started crying, pleading and begging that their mommy wasn't dead.
Inuyasha came behind them and hugged them to his chest but they were struggling and reaching out to their mommy's dead body. They cried and cried till they stopped and found it was useless. They hugged their daddy's shirt and looked at the tear stained faces of their family and friends.
"Inuyasha, what happened?" Mrs. Higurashi sobbed.
"Mutt-face, you promised to protect her! What the hell happened?" Kouga glared at Inuyasha with watery eyes, ignoring the fact that there were children around them.
"Mommy's dead…" Kasha whispered sadly.
Yasha looked at his mommy's dead body and pressed his face against his daddy's chest. Everybody looked at Inuyasha expectantly, waiting for his answer. Inuyasha exhaled and inhaled, his eyes still streamed tears.
"We were…walking t…to… the beach for…our date. A man…came up and pointed a gun at me…saying hanyou's shouldn't be able…to live," Inuyasha paused.
"Then he and I started fighting but then another man came behind me and he pulled the trigger, it caught me off guard and I stood still. I waited for pain…nothing. Kagome took the hit; she died to protect me," Inuyasha sobbed and fell to his knees.
Mrs. Higurashi went up to her son in law and hugged him. Everybody went up to him and hugged him, Kouga just patted his back soothingly and the kids comforted Yasha and Kasha. Inuyasha got up and said, "Funeral for Kagome."
Miroku nodded and said, "I'll put a barrier around Kagome so her body would not dissolve, but remain the way she is now."
Inuyasha nodded and turned towards his dead mate. He put his pups down and walked at one of the rock. Kouga walked to the other end and waited for Miroku to come and place a barrier around Kagome. Miroku still held the prayed beads that kept the clothing around his wind tunnel closed.
He walked up to Kagome and wrapped the beads around her right wrist. Sango walked up to Kagome and gave a small dagger to her. Sango kept the dagger under her clothes just incase someone attacks her in this time. She opened Kagome's dead, cold right hand and placed it in, she then closed her hand around Kagome's hand and stood next to her children.
Ayame still had the fang necklace she wore back in the Feudal Era and placed it around Kagome's neck. Kouga took off his right fur wristband he wore back in the Feudal Era and placed it around Kagome's left wrist.
Mrs. Higurashi ripped the sleeve of her pajama top and wrapped it above Kouga's wristband. Souta too ripped his sleeve and wrapped it above his mother's gift.
Kino and Hanah found two purple and pink flowers and placed it in Kagome's left hand. Inuyasha ripped his sleeve and wrapped it around Kagome's shoulder. He could see the locket he gave Kagome before this happened. He bent down and kissed Kagome's cold, dead lips one last time.
His eyes looked at his pups when they took off a necklace they made at school and put it around their mommy's neck. Kasha's necklace was made out of small pebbles. Yasha's necklace was made out of beads and small fangs were in between the beads randomly- the fangs when Yasha lost them and in grew adult fangs.
Shippou took out the bow in his hair and placed it atop of her stomach. His hair had an elastic band around it, keeping up.
Miroku started chanting and a purple barrier formed around Kagome and the platform she lays on. After he finished, Kouga and Inuyasha gently put Kagome in the dirt. The two started burying Kagome, covering her with dirt.
Everybody was crying and sobbing and Shippou hugged his younger siblings. Inuyasha and Kouga finished and walked to their families. Everybody said prayers and saw that Ayame found a rock and started carving Kagome's name and the things you put on someone's gravestone using her claws.
She placed it above the place where Kagome's head should be laying. Everybody left the grave and started looking for flowers. Once they found a flower, they placed it at the end of the grave and prayed one last time.
They all left the grave and headed towards Higurashi Shrine. The tears never subsided, just flowed.
The friends and families of Kagome Higurashi were heartbroken when their spirited girl left the world of the living and entered the world of the dead by protecting her beloved.
Two Days later…
Two days had passed since the burial of Kagome Higurashi. Everyone were trying their hardest to move on and accept it, but they could not that a girl that was about to start anew with her love one died tragically.
Inuyasha and his family were all depressed, especially Kasha and Inuyasha. Kasha's hate for her daddy left and she soon started to love him. Whenever she would cry her daddy would be there to comfort her, just like how her mommy did.
No one can ever replace her mommy and her daddy knows that too. Whenever Kasha, Yasha, Shippou and Inuyasha go for a walk, they would see females ogle at him hungrily, but Inuyasha ignored them, he will never love anyone else.
Kagome was his only love. Even if they are separated physically, that doesn't mean they're separated spiritually. Inuyasha never glanced at another woman, besides Sango, Ayame and his mom.
Kasha was in her room, curled in a tight ball. The sun was shining, the birds sang their happy tune, children of the cul-de-sac laughed and played. The world was happy and bright, but to Kasha she was in a dark place, void of any happiness.
Kasha was crying while Yasha and Shippou were playing video games downstairs. Her door creaked opened and her daddy's face popped in.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" Inuyasha asked as he entered his daughter's room and closed it. he walked to Kasha's bed and sat on the end of it.
Kasha sniffled, "I miss mommy."
Inuyasha's eyes saddened and he opened his arms and Kasha jumped in his arms, sobbing in his chest. Inuyasha ran his fingers through his daughter's hair.
He sighed sadly, "I miss your mommy too. I loved her back then I still love her. No one can ever replace her. No one."
Kasha was satisfied with that answer and she fell asleep in her daddy's embrace. Inuyasha tucked her in her bed and kissed her forehead. He left her room and headed to Kagome's room. He opened it and breathed in the scent that still lingers within.
He pounced on the bed and just lay there, breathing the scent deeply. Ever since he moved in the town house for good, he slept in Kagome's room, where only his children (including Shippou), his Kagome and himself only mattered.
The scent would wrap around his form, calming his distressed spirit. He knew he had to be strong for his children and his mate's sake. He snuggled the bed and he smiled, letting Kagome's scent wrap around his form, lulling him to sleep.
DREAMThe sun was at its highest point in the sky. The clouds drifted above, casting shadows on the ground when the cloud would cover the magnificent bright orb in the sky for a few seconds. Birds sang their beautiful song, letting it flow in the wind.
A cherry blossom tree swayed as the wind combed its fingers through its branches as petals fluttered in the wind, playing a game of tag with the wind. The flowers danced with each other gracefully while long grass swayed back and fourth, joining the flowers in their dance.
A man sat hunched over a lake, staring at his reflection for no reason at all. A pink petal landed on the water's surface, distorting his reflection. He sighed and looked up. His nose and ears twitched when he smelled a beautiful aroma waft in his nose and when he heard the most beautiful laughter he had ever heard.
The man's lips twitched upwards and a row of shiny, white fangs gleamed in the sunlight. He craned his head over his shoulder to see where the laughter and smell originated. A woman came in his line of vision. She was running towards him, her laughter echoing in his ears.
She had middle waist length raven hair, brown, soulful and fiery eyes, tanned skin, a small nose, and a beautiful mouth curved into a smile. Her white tank top showed the man her curves and dips of her luscious body while her brown skirt flaps in the wind.
The man's eyes lightened up when he saw the woman running towards him. The wind toyed with his long, silver hair and red clothing. He stood up and fully turned towards the running, smiling woman.
The man had silver hair flying everywhere, red haori covered his chest and red hakamas covered his hips and legs. He was barefooted. His eyes were golden and amber, the same colour of the sun when it starts to set. His dog-ears atop his head twitched happily when he heard the melodious laughter.
His deep, masculine voice spoke happily, "Kagome!"
The woman, Kagome laughed, "Inuyasha!"
She stopped in front of him and launched in his arms. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around the woman he loves and breathed in her scent, a dreamy smile etching across his face. Kagome giggled and it woke him from his stupor and looked curiously down at the woman in his arms.
"Inuyasha, you have a butterfly on your ear," Kagome giggled and raised her hand towards the ear that the butterfly comfortably rested on.
The butterfly fluttered of its perch and landed on Kagome's hand. Kagome lowered her hand slowly as to not scare it. She lowered her hand between her face and Inuyasha's face. The butterfly was frightened when Inuyasha lifted his claw at it and poked it curiously.
The butterfly flapped its magnificent wings and took off, to join the other butterflies in the sky. Inuyasha sighed and gazed at Kagome's laughing eyes. She smiled kindly at him and shyly pressed her lips against his.
Inuyasha didn't hesitate in responding and he put all his love and affection in that one kiss. When they separated for air, they rested both their foreheads against each other. Inuyasha's eyes shone love and happiness in his golden eyes.
Kagome's eyes shone just like Inuyasha's. Love and happiness clouded her brown orbs but then something happened. Kagome became limp in Inuyasha's arms and she started gasping in pain; clutching her chest, where her heart is.
Inuyasha became worried but he became scared when Kagome's blood covered her tantalizing scent. He looked at Kagome and saw between her fingers that was clutching her chest was blood. He tried to stop the blood flow and soothe Kagome at the same time. Kagome cried out in pain and scrupled to the ground.
Inuyasha took off his shirt and desperately tried to stop the blood from flowing because if he didn't, Kagome would die, forever lost in the dark abyss of death. Kagome was writhing on the ground, her blood pooling heavily around her body and Inuyasha's.
Inuyasha fumbled to stop the bleeding but he froze. He hesitantly looks up and saw Kasha and Yasha running ahead of a bored looking Shippou. He looked at the writhing Kagome and knew his kids were too young to witness this.
He opened his mouth and screamed for them to go back, but no sound came from his mouth. He tried again and again but nothing happened. The twins and Shippou were a few feet from them and they froze. Yasha was the one who screamed and ran to his mommy.
Kasha fell to her knees and started sobbing in her hands. Shippou was sprawled against the grass, his eyes filling with tears. The two on the ground raced towards their mommy and clutched her cold hands.
Inuyasha went back to stop the flow, but Kagome's writhing wasn't making it happen. She screamed and the peaceful surroundings became dark. The sky became red, a black moon in he sky, replacing the bright orb.
The cherry blossom tree lost its petals and it became a burnt, dead tree. The wind died, the birds became vultures, circling Inuyasha and his family, waiting to feast upon the soon to be dead Kagome. The grass died, leaving only a dried up piece of land. The lake became a murkier and waves appeared out of nowhere, splashing against the dried land.
Chains sprouted from the lake, flailing wildly till it stood stock-still. Inuyasha lifted his head and gawked at his surroundings and he clutched his family closer to his body but it was futile. The chains swished and grabbed Kagome's writhing body, it took her to the murky water and brought her down, never to come up.
Inuyasha shouted and ran towards the water but Kasha's scream made him turn around and raised his claws to destroy the chains that had themselves wrapped around her waist. He dashed to them and he was about to bring his claws down when they started shrinking to that of a human.
He could feel his youkai powers wane and he scurried to reach his daughter in time but the chains dashed passed him and brought her in the water, to never breathe air in her youthful lungs. Inuyasha's eyes watered, but he kept the tears at bay and charged towards his only family left. Shippou and Yasha.
They were on the ground, sobbing and quivering in fear and loss. That was until chains wrapped around their waists did they start to struggle and move. Inuyasha was slow to get to his sons but it was too late.
The chains brought Shippou and Yasha under the water, never to hear their voices. Inuyasha dropped to the ground and he let a few tears slip by is eyes till he screamed and pounded the ground repeatedly.
He screamed and thrashed but the chains pinned him to the ground. One held both his wrists above head; one held his waist and one held both his ankles. That just fueled Inuyasha's anger more. He screamed more ferociously and thrashed wildly then before.
His screams were unheard.
END DREAM
Inuyasha shot up from bed, cold sweat dripping down his face and chest. He heard his heart thump against his ribcage wildly. He was breathing irregular breaths; he was frightened and scared out of his wits. He clutched his chest and took deep, even breaths.
Inuyasha looked at the clock, 6:33 pm and time for dinner. He got up, grabbed a new shirt and walked out of the bedroom and into the bathroom, his nightmare replaying in his mind countless times.
"Mama?
"Yes sweetie?"
"Why did Auntie Kaggy die?"
"Papa?"
"Yes my flower?"
"Auntie Kaggy will still love us in heaven right?"
"…She died to protect your Uncle Yasha," Sango whispered as she dabbed a handkerchief to her watering eyes.
"The man that was really sad? The daddy of Kasha and Yasha?" Kino questioned as he played with his toy car.
"Yes Hanah, Aunty Kaggy will always love you in heaven. In fact, she's watching us right now. Why don't we go watch a movie? Hmm, what do you guys say?" Miroku asked softly, ignoring the wetness in his eyes.
"I miss Aunty Kaggy," sniffled Hanah. She clutched a teddy bear to her chest that her Aunty Kaggy gave her for her birthday.
"Me too," Kino whimpered as he grasped a toy car in his small hands. His Aunty Kaggy gave him the toy car for Christmas.
Miroku and his family have been visiting Inuyasha and his family. They also been visiting Kagome's grave, giving her their prayers and changing replacing old, wilting flowers with new blossomed flowers.
Sango and Miroku grabbed their children and hugged them to their chests, soothing them. Sango held Kino in her arms while Miroku held Hanah in his arms as they walked out of their small home to watch a movie.
'Wherever you are Kagome, you will always be my best friend and my sister. I will never forget you. I love you…' Sango thought sadly but she knew she had to be strong and plastered a forced smile on her face.
'Kagome, may you be happy in the afterlife. Back when we were hunting for the jewel shards, you were the glue of the pack, without you we would've fallen apart. Now you are gone from us but we will all stick with each other because we all have a part of you within us. Farewell my best friend, my sister…I love you,' Miroku sighed and he too grinned, his right hand inched towards his wife's behind.
SLAP
Ahh, things will never change. Sango fumed and stored off, Kino and Hanah were giggling at their parent's behavior. Miroku and Hanah were left behind; Miroku had a dazed look in his eyes as he subconsciously rubbed his sore cheek.
'Just like the old times eh Sango? Kagome? Shippou? Inuyasha? Just like the old times…'
Miroku ran after his wife with a sad smile on his face.
'Just like the old times.'
"Love, calm down."
"Calm down? Calm down! I can't calm down! Kagome's dead! She was my friend!"
Ayame sighed and tears started to pool down her cheeks. Kouga froze and he turned to his mate. Guilt started to creep in his body and he cast his head down sadly and in shame.
"Ayame, I didn't mean to snap at you like that. I'm sorry," Kouga apologized as his foot drew invisible circles on their carpeted floor.
Ayame didn't stop crying but leapt in her mate's arms and sobbed in his chest.
"I miss her so much! Oh god! Kagome! Why'd it have to be Kagome!? Why?" Ayame sobbed uncontrollably.
Kouga rubbed his mate's back and nuzzled his nose in the crook of her neck.
"I miss her too Ayame. I know it hurts, it'll hurt but when we accept the facts that Kagome's dead and we move on, will the pain subside," Kouga whispered.
Just like Miroku and his family, they too have been visiting Inuyasha and his family and visiting Kagome's grave.
'Kagome…when we first met, I didn't get along with you I was jealous that Kouga loved you instead of me. Yet you gave me a chance and treated me as a friend. You were and still are my best friend Kagome. I'll always love you, just don't forget us okay 'cause I sure know I won't forget you,' Ayame sighed sadly and leaned on Kouga's body.
'Kagome, you were always my friend a sister even. No matter how many times I hurt mutt-face, you would always forgive me. My god Kagome, I miss you so much. I hope that wherever you are you'll remember us and that you're safe. I love you my friend and my sister.' Kouga sighed and hugged Ayame closer, protecting her from the world.
'Kagome…has been there for me. Back when we went Jewel Shard hunting and Inuyasha would always pick on me, Kagome would immediately defend me. I miss her, I miss my mom. When I stole the jewel shards from her and Inuyasha and I took off, well tried to anyways, they both took me in under their care and avenged my parent's death. Kagome has protected me, sheltered me, fed me and loved me. I am her son and she is my mom. I already lost two mom's already and I miss them both but at least I have two siblings I can poke fun at them and a father I still irritate to no end,' Shippou smirked sadly when he was just staring at his bowl of ramen.
"Dad," Shippou's voice was getting use to calling Inuyasha "dad".
"Vat?" Inuyasha asked as his mouth was filled with ramen noodles.
Shippou was use to this since he'd seen it almost all his childhood life when he and the group were jewel shard hunting.
"You are a pig. Is there anything to eat besides…ramen?" Shippou asked dryly.
"Ramen…good…" Kasha murmured as she pigged out on her ramen.
"Traitor!" Yasha exclaimed as he pointed his chopsticks in his older brother's face.
"Son put your chopsticks down. It's rude to point at someone, especially if they're a traitor to beautifulness," Inuyasha remarked and grinned at Shippou's red face.
Yasha put his chopsticks down and began stuffing his face back in his ramen, ignoring the stare down between his daddy and his brother.
"Why you…" Shippou growled out and raised his hands in front of his oh-so-matured-dad.
Inuyasha just laughed and clutched his stomach. Just like old times back in the time were he and his pack were looking for jewel shards. He would tease Shippou then Shippou would both get mad and chew on his ears or Kagome would sit him. His eyes saddened at the thought of his deceased mate but he still laughed and pointed at Shippou's flushed face.
"Eat this! FOX FIRE!" blue flames sprouted from his hand and onto Inuyasha's face.
Inuyasha screamed and ran around the house in circles trying to get rid of the flames. His children pointed and laughed at him, making Inuyasha more aggravated.
"HOT! HOT! MY GOD! THE FIRE IS EATING AWAY BEAUTIFULNESS!" Inuyasha screamed, trying to put the fire out.
"HAHAHA! That's what you get for teasing me!" Shippou stuck out his tongue at the flaming, running man. He motioned for his siblings to do the same and they did.
Inuyasha tripped over the love seat and fell face first on the ground, smothering the fire. He was quiet, how this position reminded him when Kagome sat him but his eyebrow ticked and he growled when he heard the booming laughter from behind him.
He got up slowly, his hair creating a curtain, hiding his face from view. Shippou knew what was about to happen and he squeaked before he grabbed his siblings and dashed out the door, screaming all the way.
Inuyasha got up and chased his kids outside. Inuyasha was outside chasing two laughing kids and one screaming teenager.
"SHIPPOU! GET BACK HERE!" Inuyasha bellowed. His face had black splotches here and there and his beautiful silver hair had black fringes. He also had a few floor marks when his face went splat against the hard wood flooring.
Everybody in the neighborhood knew Kagome Higurashi died about two months ago and they mourned after her. They also tried to cheer her kids up but they were beyond shocked when they opened the door to the house that belonged to Kagome and her kids and there was a man sobbing on the kitchen table.
They soon found out that the man was Kagome's mate and the father of Kagome's children. They knew that Inuyasha and Kagome were a perfect match. The better the neighbors knew Inuyasha, the more they knew the hanyou and deceased miko were made for each other.
They both had a temper and stubbornness to match each other perfectly.
The neighbors looked out their windows and saw how Inuyasha was chasing his children around the block, the same way Kagome would. They also noticed the hanyou and miko had the same fire flaming in their eyes. The neighbors let a few tears slide down their eyes, already missing their neighbor and friend Kagome Higurashi.
"Night runt," Inuyasha grunted as he ruffled Shippou's hair. Shippou glared at him and fixed his hair, heading to his bed.
One of the guestrooms turned into Shippou's bedroom. Shippou's walls were an aquamarine with streaks of green paint randomly. He has signatures from Miroku and family, Kouga, Ayame, his siblings, his dad and himself plastered on the wall randomly.
His bed was at the far corner, near the window. There was a dresser on the left of the bed, styled to fit his personality. Pictures were atop his dresser while paper and crayons were across his floor.
"Meh, night dad," Shippou yawned and fell into slumber.
Inuyasha smiled fondly and left the room, closing the door quietly. He then took a few strides and quietly opened the twins bedroom door and peeked in. Both twins were sleeping soundly and Inuyasha closed the door.
He then went to Kagome's and now his bedroom. On the walls were four new signatures, Kouga, Ayame, Shippou and his. His eyes gazed at the signatures that held a heart above those two names. Kagome and Inuyasha.
Inuyasha closed his eyes and opened them again, staring at the dresser. Inuyasha bought a new dresser to put his clothes in because 1.) There were no more room for him to at least put a pair of socks in there and 2.) Kagome's scent still lingers on the articles of clothing, especially his haori he wraps around himself every night.
Inuyasha stretched, yawned and took off his shirt and pants, leaving only his boxers on. He finally got use to the idea of wearing them. He stalked off to the balcony and opened the glass doors, stepping in the cool air.
Inuyasha's golden, amber, lonely eyes stared up at the moon and the constellations. Inuyasha never knew anything about being a father; it just came to him naturally and it was exhilarating, to become a father, yet it was complicated to raise three kids without your mate by your side but he managed.
His friends and family supported him and his children and he was grateful for that. Even though Kagome is in the afterlife, she still supported him and their children because death could not even break the bond between child and mother, between a woman and a man who've fallen in love and came from different time periods.
Inuyasha closed the balcony doors and sighed sadly and went to bed hesitantly, he didn't want another nightmare like the last one he had anout two months ago. He shuddered in fear and slipped on his haori and plopped on the bed. A last though whizzed though his head before sleep took him away.
'Kagome, no one can ever replace you. I will love no other. I will love you and only you. I will raise, watch, take care and love our children till my lungs cannot breath in air. Death cannot break the bond we have created. Nothing can…I love you my bitch. My angel. My mate. My love. My life. My heart. My soul. I love you My Kagome.'
His ears twitched in irritation when he heard giggling and something repeatedly poking him the ribs. He squirmed away from the poking but he could not get rid of the end less giggles. He then felt the sun shine through his closed eye lids and tried to get away once more, trying to go back to his dreams.
In his dream was a very hot, sexy, sweating, raven-haired fiery temptress squirming under him, moaning out his name as she hooked her legs around his torso.
Inuyasha desperately tried to get back to his dream but couldn't when he felt extremely cold water splatter on his body.
"HOLY FUCK!" Inuyasha hollered as he started shivering, glaring at the culprits.
"Tsk Tsk father, you shouldn't swear in front of your children. It's very bad influence," Shippou mocked as he waved his index finger back and fourth, trying his hardest not to laugh.
Yasha was the one who was poking his daddy in the ribs and started laughing, falling to the floor rolling and rolling. Kasha held the bucket that use to hold the cold water as she too dropped on the ground and started laughing.
Shippou tried his hardest but the laughter his ears heard made him lose control and he too fell on the ground, clutching his stomach while he laughed manically.
Inuyasha was pissed. Very, very pissed that his children woken him up from his very pleasurable dream. But a father never takes his anger out on his children. Though they never did say that a father couldn't punish them.
He got up from the bed sopping wet, crushing the plastic bucket under his weight. He stood on his own two feet, resisting the urge to crouch like a dog and shake like a dog till he became partially dry. He succeeded and glared mischievously and darkly at his quieting children.
The two children and one teenager gulped when they saw that look in their daddy's eyes. They screamed and scrambled to get away, but Inuyasha the strongest and experienced one when it came to people trying to escape grasped the three squirming children.
He grasped the shirt of both Yasha's and Kasha's in one hand while he grasped Shippou's tail in his other hand, making him hang upside down. Shippou pouted but he was use to this torture. When Shippou was just a pup, Inuyasha would always grab him by the tail.
Shippou's face was a few inches above the floor he stopped struggling against his dad and crossed his arms, a pout forming on his mouth. Yasha and Kasha kept on struggling, clearly showing how stubborn they are.
Later on, the two struggling hanyou's gave up, moaning for their daddy to let them go. Inuyasha walked out of the room, leaving puddles of water everywhere. He went to the wrack between the kitchen and the hallway and hung up his children by the collar of their shirts.
They started kicking, struggling and even clawing at their shirts, but their shirts were too thick to cut easily. Shippou got an idea and was about to put it to use.
"Shippou, you use your fox fire and your clothes will be caught in fire then you will be caught in the fire," Inuyasha smirked as he got ready his ramen for breakfast since he couldn't cook anything but this.
Shippou's face was crestfallen. He sighed then a question rang through his mind.
"What do you work for? What's your job?" Shippou asked.
Yasha and Kasha looked up and pointed curious gazes at their daddy. Kagome worked at Kasha's and Yasha's school as a grade 7 teacher. No one knew that Inuyasha found a job, beside his mom and Souta.
He opened his mouth, "My job is a Martial Arts Instructor at "Totosai's Martial Arts Dojo.""
"What's "Mer-shall Arts?" Yasha asked.
"Who's Totosai?" Kasha asked as she still struggled to get her feet to touch the ground.
"Totosai is an old, old, old, very old man who made Tetsusaiga daddy's sword that is now hanging on the wall in his and mommy's bedroom for display," Shippou said it quietly.
Everybody was quiet, reminiscing in the past when Kagome was alive and happy. The boiler steamed, shaking everybody out of his or her reverie. Inuyasha turned his back towards his children, thinking about Kagome. He poured the boiling water and poured it into his cup.
"What's "Mer-shall Arts?" Yasha repeated.
"Martial Arts. Martial Arts is like fighting," Inuyasha told his son.
He walked over to his hanging children, with the steaming ramen cup in his hand. He smirked, trying his hardest to not look and smell sad.
The three children froze, their nose working overtime when they smelt food. Their mouths dropped, leaving a trial of drool to roll down their chins.
"Mmm, ain't this good ramen eh?" Inuyasha slurped his ramen loudly.
"Daddy, can I please have some breakfast? I'm reawwwy sorry for waking you up but you smelled weird, like a…a…" Kasha flicked her eyes towards Shippou and asked him how to explain what she smelled earlier and Shippou helped Kasha out by screaming it.
Inuyasha's face blossomed a dark red him sputtering crazy profanities under his breath. Shippou snickered then grinned when he knew what his sister meant and what he said. This morning before they woke up their daddy, Inuyasha smelled aroused. Very aroused.
"What's "aroused"?" Kasha and Yasha asked innocently.
"When you're both older, you're too young," Shippou snickered.
"Why?"
"It's bad for young to children such as yourself…to…umm…" Inuyasha trailed off, his face was still a dark red.
Kasha gave up and started begging and whimpering for food. Yasha and Shippou soon joined, putting on their cutest puppy faces. Inuyasha knew they learned it from Kagome. He groaned, so much for punishing his children.
He put his ramen cup on the counter and unhooked the three children as they scrambled for the ramen cupboard.
'How'd they find my ramen stash?!' Inuyasha thought bewildered. He put lots of weird smelling things so they can't find his ramen stash.
He scratched his head sheepishly.
'They have Kagome's brain and since that's the only thing in the house that smells funny and out of place, they knew I was hiding something in there. Awww, there goes my favourite ramen. Bah, I need to go grocery shopping, I'll drop- no, wait, I'll bring the kids with me, they sure help getting the female population to piss off.'
Inuyasha trudged to the cupboard and grabbed three more cups of ramen and started boiling more water. He sighed and looked at his hyper children; they are waaay to hyper.
Note: Put sleeping pills into their ramen next time. He grinned but frowned when he knew that Kagome would haunt him and kill him in his sleep if he put sleeping pills in their food.
He sighed again. He found about sleeping pills when he heard Souta talking about it to his friend who has trouble sleeping or something like that. He put his head against the counter and started snoring, going back to his pleasurable dream, he smirked, drool forming under his chin.
"I'm bored."
"Me too."
"Lets play something?"
"I'm hungry."
"Your always hungry."
"Where do babies come from?"
"Yeah, I always wondered where they came from…dad. Please enlighten us on where babies came from."
He blushed a deep red, stuttering and sweating profusely.
"Uhh…"
"Where do babies come from?"
'Curse you, you damn question!'
"Uhh…they come from…uh- Hey would ya look at that!"
Three heads turned towards the window and stared, waiting for something to happened. They turned their heads back to their dad, who was suppose to be there, but is no longer in the living room.
"Hey! Daddy tricked us!" Yasha exclaimed.
"No really?" Kasha scoffed.
Shippou was quiet, contemplating about something. He grinned and started snickering and cackling evilly. Kasha and Yasha noticed this and they tuned their heads towards their older brother who was laughing maniacally.
"Kasha, Yasha," Shippou's evil grin grew wider.
"Ye…yeah?" Kasha gulped.
"Yes?" Yasha whimpered out.
"I have a plan to get daddy back. Come 'ere," Shippou whispered his plan to his younger siblings and they grinned.
Inuyasha ran away from his kids and the question that was thrown at him. He ran to his and his dead love's bedroom. He yanked the door opened and locked it behind him. He dove under his covers and wrapped it around him.
His ears twitched. Uh oh. Nothing. Silence. It was quiet, too quiet. His kids are planning something. Something dangerous. He quivered under the blankets.
Wait, he's the hanyou that took down Naraku without any fear. His pride came out of hiding and he jumped out of his hiding place, an arrogant smirk on his lips. They're just kids, they can't do any harm. Right?
Inuyasha came downstairs, being jumpy and paranoid at every sound he hears.
"Hi daddy!" Kasha screamed.
Inuyasha screamed in a high-pitch voice and jumped on the ceiling, impaling his claws on the ceiling and he just hung there, his eyes all shifty and frightened. He snapped out of his stupor when he heard booming laughter down on the ground.
His face bloomed red, both angry and embarrassed that his kids saw him scream like a wimp. He huffed, took out his claws imbedded in the ceiling and landed on the ground, glaring at his laughing kids.
"Shuddap!"
"Oh-God!" Shippou laughed.
"Daddy…so…funny!" Yasha giggled.
"He screamed like…a girl!" Kasha screamed.
Inuyasha stormed off to the kitchen and plopped on the stool, his lips in a pout, he crossed his arms and sulked, his pride and ego heavily damaged. The three kids covered their mouths to stifle their laughter and to hide the evil grin placed on their lips.
As Inuyasha sulked, his kids when to work to get the steaming bowls of food on the elongated table. Inuyasha sniffed and he smelled something delicious drift towards his nose. He looked at his children and saw that each of them held a bowl of rice, chicken teriyaki and chow mein though Shippou held two bowls instead of one.
Inuyasha became suspicious on how three kids, two of them are six and one is fifteen can cook something like this. He narrowed his eyes, his brain going on over drive to see what they were up to.
"What are you up to?"
"We cooked dinner," Shippou scoffed.
"How do you three know how to cook like this?"
"Mommy showed us," Kasha whispered softly, her ears drooping.
"Oh."
Inuyasha became guilty and sad when she mentioned Kagome showed them but his suspicion came back, when he saw the grin Yasha tried to hide.
'They're planning something.'
"Why are you guys cooking?"
It was quiet; no one spoke, fueling Inuyasha's suspicion more.
"We're tired of eating ramen every single day," Shippou said casually.
Yasha and Kasha nodded vigorously.
"Really? 'Cause, Yasha and Kasha can eat ramen 24/7 and not get sick of it. What happened?" Inuyasha leaned on his elbows, his hands supporting his head, eyes narrowed at his three "innocent" children who were placing the bowls on the table. They ignored their daddy's question.
"Dig in!" Shippou cried cheekily.
Yasha, Kasha and Shippou dug in, pieces of rice and teriyaki and noodles of chow mein flew everywhere. Inuyasha picked up his chopsticks and started eating slowly, watching his kids carefully; like how a hawk watches his or her prey.
He smelled the food, nothing wrong with it and he started eating normally; stuffing his face. He put his chopsticks down and used his hand to scoop up the food. He was famished. He hadn't eaten lunch because he was terrified if Yasha or Kasha would ask the question all parents were scared of.
Not to mention, he only ate a cup of ramen, usually he would eat like three cups. Oh well, he was eating something else, good, but not as good as ramen or Kagome's cooking. He lifted his head from the bowl and burped.
'I'm thirsty now,' Inuyasha got up, his stool squeaking against the floor. He walked over to the fridge, opened it and grabbed a pitcher of cold raspberry juice. He turned around and walked towards the cupboards and grabbed a cup.
He filled the cup and asked if his children wanted any. They nodded their head and asked for water instead. Inuyasha nodded and got three more cups and filled it with water from the tap. He turned around, four cups balanced on one hand while the other hand held the pitcher of juice.
He placed the cups down and the pitcher. He grabbed his cup, tipped his head back, letting the juice slide down his parched throat. Kasha and Yasha greedily took their cups of water and started drinking them, as Shippou hid a smirk.
Shippou took sips of his water but he noticed how Inuyasha hesitated to drink another cup of juice, his eyes were blinking and looking at the juice. He drank his water quickly and asked for the juice. Inuyasha poured some of the juice in Shippou's cup and poured some for him.
Shippou sipped his drink and eyed how Inuyasha just poured his drink in his mouth. He smirked and looked at his siblings and they too sported a similar smirk to his.
'This is good juice, though it tastes funny. Feh,' Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders.
"DRINK THE WHOLE THING! DRINK THE WHOLE THING!" Shippou, Kasha and Yasha chanted as they pounded their fists against the table.
Inuyasha puffed out his chest and grabbed the whole pitcher, dumping all the contents in his mouth. He swallowed it and smirked, his deflated pride and ego from before was restored. His kids clapped and started laughing and pointing at him.
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. He was about to ask why but it was too late. His mouth and tongue started to burn, like it was on fire. Inuyasha screamed, stuck his burning tongue out of his mouth and started fanning it, like that will help it cool down.
His three kids started laughing, pounding their fists against the tabletop.
"Dyo did dhis!" Inuyasha pointed a clawed Finger at his three kids.
"Of course we did!" Laughed Shippou.
"Revenge is sweet!" Yasha and Kasha snickered.
"We put those hot spicy things in the juice because you always drink that instead of water!"Shippou laid his head down on the table and tried to stifle his laughs so he can explain his plan.
"We put like…ten of the spicy things!" Kasha laughed.
Inuyasha ran to the sink and put his head under the faucet, mouth facing it. He turned the tap on and water spurted, drowning Inuyasha. He flailed his arms wildly, as water overflowed in his mouth and water entered his nose.
Inuyasha blindly turned the tap off with difficulty. He brought his face out of the sink and glared at his laughing children. He growled to shut them up but they didn't, they just laughed harder. His angry pout soon turned into a smile and he started to laugh with his children.
Ah, being a father has its ups and downs, but it's worth it at the end. The only thing that could make it more perfect than now is to hear Kagome's beautiful laugh with theirs. Inuyasha's laughed, holding the tears back, not wanting to ruin the moment.
Sure he was humiliated, his kids got that trait from Kagome, but at least his tongue isn't on fire now.
It was quiet in the household and the cul-de-sac the house is placed in. The stars were bright, no pollution blocking its perfection. The cul-de-sac was far from the city of Tokyo so it won't the hurt the youkai's and hanyou's sense of smell. Though, the cul-de-sac was close enough to shops and what not.
On the roof of a house, a lone hanyou sat, crying alone. The only witness to the hanyou's tears were the pitying stars above, watching the whole world, knowing its secrets. A picture of Kagome, flashed across the dark sky, making the lone hanyou spill more tears.
'Soon we'll see each other again. I'll leave this world and join you.'
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! PERVEEERT!" a booming voice screeched early in the morning accompanied by a loud SLAP.
"Oww, dearest, love, why must you be so harsh? Love, I've done more than grope you and you didn't scream-well, you did scream but you screamed in pleasu- Grugru!" a male voice choked out as a hand wrapped its delicate fingers around the man's throat.
"Pervert! We have kids running around! You're going to corrupt them with your damn thoughts!" Sango screeched in her husband's ears.
"But my lovely Sango-poo, I've said things like that in front of Shippou plenty of times back when we were hunting jewel shards and stuff," Miroku whined as he rubbed his throat.
"Don't "Sango-poo" me, that's why Shippou ain't innocent no more when he met you! You corrupted his poor, innocent, and child mind! Hell, you corrupt all the children you come across! I bet you already corrupted our kids' minds! I bet they know what sex is! I bet they know were babies come from!" Sango yelled throughout their house, shaking everything in her wake.
Miroku smiled and his eyes twinkled.
"Sweetie, I don't think I've corrupted them, I think you have corrupted them with the words you yelled at me three seconds ago."
Sango raised an eyebrow, looking curiously at Miroku when she felt two presences behind her. It was a habit she got back in the Feudal Era when she was fighting youkai's. She slowly turned around and saw both hers and Miroku's children's staring at them.
Sango knew what was going to happen next and blurted out, "Well! Today is when we get to visit Auntie Kaggy! Get dressed then I'll prepare breakfast okay? OKAY!"
Sango jumped out of the bed and grabbed articles of clothing she prepared from last night and dashed in the bathroom, her children asking the questions at their daddy whom was under the covers quivering.
"Daddy what's "sex"?" Kino asked as he sat in front of his daddy.
"Where do babies come from?" Hanah asked and poked her daddy.
Miroku groaned from under the covers and tried to wiggle out of Hanah's poking. He failed and his kid's started jumping on his back.
'I'm going to have a broken spine after they're done jumping on me. No! I won't be able to "play" with Sango no more! Shit!' Miroku cursed and tried to move but failed. His eyes got all watery and he screamed in his bed, being ignored as his children kept throwing questions at him and their jumping was hurting his back.
"You ready Ayame?" Kouga asked his mate as he slipped on his shoes.
He wore a dark blue, (almost looking like black) t-shirt with black jeans and brown runners, his hair in his traditional ponytail.
"Yeah, lets go," Ayame said softly as tears streamed down her face.
She wore a black flowing skirt, a black button up shirt and navy blue flip-flops. Kouga stood in front of her and lifted her chin. Using the pad of his thumb, he wiped off the tears but they kept on flowing, he pressed his lips against Ayame's and she responded back.
After their kiss, they left their apartment and headed towards Kagome's grave. Every two months, the whole group (Meaning Miroku and family, Inuyasha and family, Mrs. Higurashi, Souta and Kouga and mate) all go and visit Kagome.
There are times when they go separately, before or after the two months to just visit Kagome's grave by themselves with their families.
The sun was high up in the sky, no clouds in sight and a cool breeze swept Tokyo. Kouga and Ayame decided to walked to "Inuyasha Forest" instead of taking their car.
"Yo, Shippou got the kids ready?" Inuyasha asked in a gruff voice to cover up the sadness today.
Inuyasha wore a black long sleeve button up shirt with black baggy jeans, his silver hair in a low ponytail, contrasting against his dark clothing.
"What am I? Your wife?" Shippou snorted as he came down with his sad siblings on his back.
He wore a dark green shirt with black jeans just like his father's and his hair as usual was up, and holding it was an emerald green bow.
"The day you're my wife is the day huge, vibrant pink, fluffy elephants came out of my a- butt and the day I dye my hair a vibrant pink with vibrant lime green swirls that it can out blind the sun itself and the da-"
"Okay! I get it!" Shippou muttered as he heard his siblings laugh sadly at their daddy. Inuyasha smiled and opened the door for them to get out.
Kasha wore a blood red shirt and a black skirt that went pass her knees, her silver and black tips of her hair were pulled in pigtails.
Yasha wore the same thing as his sister but instead of a skirt, he wore black baggy jeans just like his brother and daddy. His black, silver streaked hair was pulled in a ponytail at the nape of his neck.
Inuyasha and Shippou had no damn clue on how to drive a car. Well, Inuyasha would not go near the damn contraption saying, "That thing is evil! One day something will pop out at us and kill us! The sound it makes is a warning!" everybody would look at him oddly humiliating Shippou, Kasha and Yasha.
So they opted to walk, Shippou giving his younger sister a piggy back while Yasha was on the top of his daddy's shoulders, playing with Inuyasha's hair to pass the time.
Mrs. Higurashi got ready for the get together of Kagome's funeral as Souta who placed the food on the table for after the funeral.
She wore a black blouse and a black skirt, just like Ayame's. She brought two handkerchiefs with her when she would start to cry.
A knock echoed in her bedroom as she smoothed out her dress and opened the door to come face to face with Souta and his girlfriend Hitomi.
Souta wore a black turtleneck and black baggy jeans. His girlfriend who has chestnut, curly hair and dark blue eyes wore navy blue shirt underneath a black vest and a knee-length skirt. She met Kagome a few years before when she came to the Higurashi Shrine for the first time.
She didn't go to the funeral two months before because it was early in the morning and there was no time. Hitomi let a few drops of tears roll down her cheeks before she wiped them away. Mrs. Higurashi handed Hitomi her extra handkerchief and she took it with a quiet thanks.
Hitomi though of Kagome as her older sister she never had. When Hitomi had problems, whether it's from exams, family or even boy problems, the first person she would go to be Kagome because she had been through it all.
Hitomi also met Kasha and Yasha when she first met Kagome and she instantly loved them.
Mrs. Higurashi, Souta and Hitomi went downstairs and left the house, walking towards Kagome's grave in the forest. Hitomi doesn't know about the life Kagome had in the Feudal Era or what the forest is called. Today, Hitomi is going to meet Kagome's friends and lover she always talks about.
A car parked right in front of the steps that led to the Higurashi Shrine. The occupants got out and started running up the steps, knowing they are late for their best friends/ auntie's funeral get together type thing.
Miroku and Sango were huffing and wheezing by the time they got up. They became unfit when the journey for the jewel shards and fighting youkai's ended. Their children were running towards the forest, tears streaming down their faces.
Miroku wore his monk robes from the Feudal Era and he brought his staff along. Sango wore her demon slaying outfit. And she brought her Hirakotsu (I think that's not the way you spell it. If anyone knows how to spell it properly can you jus leave it in your review thank you!).
Kino wore a robe similar to his dad's, except it's dark blue instead of purple. Hanah wore a demon slaying outfit just like her mom's except it's blue instead of pink.
The family ran and entered the forest till they reached Kagome's burial site. Everybody stared at the huffing and wheezing couple.
"Took you long enough!" Inuyasha cried out.
Sango and Miroku saw through the gruff façade and saw a depressed hanyou instead. They knew Inuyasha long enough when he's sad or depressed, he'll show his gruff attitude.
"Well try driving when your kids ask you "What's sex?" "Is it fun?" "Can Kino and me do sex?" "Where do babies come from?" "Can Hanah and me make babies?"-" Sango said.
"WE GET IT!" Everybody yelled as Inuyasha covered Yasha's ears while Shippou covered Kasha's ears.
"Why are you guys wearing-" Shippou asked.
"To reminisce in the past when Kagome was alive," Miroku said sadly.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha whimpered as he looked at his deceased mate's burial.
The waterworks came out to play. Everybody had a flower and replaced the old withering flowers with the new ones and started praying to their beloved Kagome.
"Hitomi, this is Miroku, his wife Sango and their kids Kino and Hanah," Souta pointed.
"Guys, this is Hitomi, my girlfriend."
"Hi."
"Hey."
"Hello."
"Hi."
Kino and Hanah went to go play with Kasha and Yasha and left all the adults in the living room.
"Beautiful Hitomi," Miroku got down on one knee and clasped both of Hitomi's hands in his own. Everybody knew what was going to happen next.
"Will you bear my child?"
"BACK OFF BUSTER! SHE'S MINE!"
"MIROKU YOU PERVERTED ASSHOLE!"
"THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?"
"YOU HAVE TWO KIDS AND A WIFE!"
"JACKASS!"
As everybody screamed and pounded Miroku for the stupid question, they all ignored the confused girl.
"Excuse me?" Hitomi asked as a blush spread over her cheeks.
"HITOMI! Why are you blushing! I'm your boyfriend!" Souta wailed as he sat on the couch and sulked.
"Souta! I'm only blushing because it's kind of embarrassing to be asked that kind of question," Hitomi went over to Souta and soothing him out of his sulking state but it turned into a make out session.
"Anyways, Miroku always does that to every female that has two legs, a pretty face and boobs," Kouga snickered.
"Kouga!" Ayame slapped the back of his head and he glared at her.
"Okay?"
"Anyways, Hitomi, this Kouga and Ayame, Kagome's friends and they're mates! Kouga, Ayame this is Hitomi, Souta's girlfriend and that over there is Shippou," Mrs. Higurashi gushed as she ate an apple.
"Hi."
"Yo."
"Hey."
"Hello."
"Copycat!" Kouga screamed and pointed at Inuyasha, Shippou and Souta.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha cussed.
"You and Shippou are wearing the same thing as me!"
"Screw off wolf!" Inuyasha fingered Kouga and snarled at him.
Ayame had to hit Kouga to shut him up and Sango had to hit Inuyasha to shut him up.
"Anyways, I'm Inuyasha, Kagome's mate and the father of Yasha and Kasha," Inuyasha yawned out as he remembered everything he and Kagome been through to get to each other.
"Oh, so you're the Inuyasha Souta talks about and the Inuyasha who Kagome loves to insult you then starts saying thing like "I love you" and stuff like that?" Hitomi questioned.
"…Yeah."
'Damn wench, always insults me but that's why I love her.'
Everybody became quiet and the dam that held the tears back broke. The males cried quietly as the females didn't care who heard them cry. The four kids came rushing downstairs and launched themselves into their parent's arms.
Inuyasha carried his two sobbing hanyou's in his arms and started to walk upstairs to where Kagome's room is; the place where he would always pick her up to bring her back to the Feudal Era a place where he and his kids will cry alone.
Inuyasha turned around," Shippou? You wanna come?"
Shippou nodded his head no and cried with the rest of the occupants.
A lone figure got out of bed, hanyou ears twitching atop the hanyou's head. Everybody's sleeping. The lone hanyou hopped on the windowsill and opened the window slowly. Eyes scanned the sleeping and snoring bodies on the bed. The hanyou started chanting and something formed around the two sleeping bodies.
'Goodbye. I love you.'
The hanyou leapt away from the shrine, away from the old life and away from everything; only one thing on mind; a certain raven-haired girl.
The city of Tokyo was still bustling with noise and was very bright. The hanyou leapt rooftop from rooftop, trying to get to the destination. Everything was a swirl of colours as the hanyou jumped and leapt, a cool breeze winding itself in the long mane of the hanyou's.
'Almost there.'
A couple of minutes later, the hanyou stood in front the tallest building in Tokyo City- Tokyo Tower. The tower itself was 1o91 feet tall. The hanyou started climbing the tower, the claws of the owner imbedded itself in the tower and retracted when the hanyou would lift said hand to get higher off the ground.
After a full hour has passed, people and youkai alike started pointing and staring at the hanyou that was climbing Tokyo Tower. One of them took out her cell and immediately dialed the police.
"Hello, what is you emergency?" a monotone voice answered.
"Umm, there's a hanyou climbing Tokyo Tower. Youkai's tried to get the hanyou down but the hanyou would snarl and attack them if the youkai's got to near," the lady whom dialed answered.
"Is the hanyou a female of male?"
"I'm not sure. The hanyou has long hair, like up to its wais- AHHHHH! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!"
The owner of the monotone voice speaking to a lady who called saying that someone is climbing the Tokyo Tower heard terrified screams erupt.
The monotone voice turned into alarm, "Miss! What happened? What is going on?! The police are rushing to get there as fast as they can!"
"Oh my god! The hanyou lost its grip and fell!"
"Is the hanyou okay?"
A pause.
"Miss?"
"Yes, the hanyou is okay. The hanyou lost its grip but he/she dug its claws in the tower before he/she fell. The hanyou is still going up."
"The youkai's that tried to get the hanyou, did they say something to the hanyou's gender?"
"No, they're all knocked out. The hanyou attacked them but we made a trampoline thing out of a huge blanket from a store nearby and saved them before they hit the ground. They're unconscious right now so nobody dares go up and tries to bring the hanyou down."
Sirens broke through the tense night as red and blue lights flashed against windows.
Everybody moved and made a path for the police to get to the Tokyo Tower.
"Miss, is th-"
The lady who called the police hung up and dropped her cell in her purse. Everybody all watched the police get out of their cars and look up at the climbing hanyou.
A youkai officer started climbing the tower and was about to grab the hanyou but the hanyou planted his/her feet flat on the tower, crouched and ricocheted off the tower towards the unsuspecting youkai officer.
When the hanyou was close to the youkai, he/she grabbed the collar of his shirt, hefted him over his/her shoulders and threw him down the tower. The hanyou quickly flipped and imbedded his/her hands in the tower. The hanyou resumed his/her climbing, ignoring everybody screaming at him/her from below and the soreness of his/her muscles.
After two hours of non-stop climbing, the hanyou made it at the top of the tower and stood up. The hanyou's hair was swaying side to side from the wind as the hanyou's eyes scanned all the faces back on the ground. No one can survive a fall from this high, unless you're really, really, really, really, really, really, really and so on powerful.
Helicopters from the police and news station all surrounded the growling and snarling hanyou. The hanyou's eyes flashed a warning red. Everybody knows that when a youkai, especially an inuyoukai's eyes flashes red or whatever, they have to back off or pay the consequences, but it's their job.
"As the great, great, great, great, great, great and five hundred more greats, I'm the granddaughter of the Lord Inutashiou of the West! I command you to leave me the hell alone!" the female hanyou commanded loudly and shot a beam of miko blast at them as they uncontrollably flew somewhere else.
Everyone gasped when they heard it. The hanyou must be joking. She can't be related to the great Lord Inutashiou, but there's no mistake. She is related to him.
The trademark silver hair and gold eyes- only those related to Lord Inutashiou could have those features and got it from the sons of the lord Inuyasha or Sesshomaru from the Feudal Era.
Even though the people down below prepared the blanket to catch the fall of the hanyou, the speed will break through the blanket and kill her.
"KASHA!" Sango yelled as she pushed and shoved people out of her way till she was in front of the tower.
Sango was about to climb the tower but her husband's arms pulled her back. Ayame and Kouga pushed their way towards Sango and Miroku.
"KASHA HIGURASHI! GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE!" Miroku, Sango, Kouga and Ayame screamed.
"Where's Inuyasha?" Sango asked.
"There's a barrier around the room. We can't break it to get to Inuyasha."
"We also think there's some sort of spell on Inuyasha and Yasha because they're not responding."
"Kasha. Kagome taught her and Yasha about their spiritual powers. She taught them about spells and how to put up barriers for self defense," Miroku said quietly as his eyes remained on Kasha's figure up on the tower.
Kasha looked down at the city. She will miss this place but she'll be reunited with her mommy once more. Without hesitating, Kasha jumped off the tower and started to free-fall towards the ground. The air whipped her hair around her body and face but Kasha paid no heed to it.
Everybody down below screamed and got as many blankets to at least let the little hanyou girl survive through the fall.
Sango and Ayame started sobbing and collapsed in their husband's/mate's arms. Kouga gently pushed Ayame in Miroku's arms and the two girls cried together. Kouga jumped up to catch Kasha but a barrier prevented him so.
He jumped back and tried again and again but nothing. Kasha put a strong barrier that no one can get pass. Kouga grabbed Ayame and Sango and motioned Miroku to use his spiritual powers to break the barriers but he too failed.
People that possess spiritual powers in them tried to help Miroku bring down the barrier but it won't work.
"The barrier can only be brought down by her father or mother or sibling! Or someone that has her blood flowing though their veins."
Everybody looked up and saw how close Kasha was descending to the ground. Everybody can't let a hanyou child die this early. Her parents and friends would be depressed when she would pass away. What would make a six-year-old child commit suicide? Kagome. Her mother.
Everybody clumped together and tried to use their bodies to help soften the blow to the descending child but Kasha held out her hand and blasted miko energy at them which blew them away and left a complete place where Kasha's body would turn into mush and splattered body parts.
Only ten more feet before Kasha Higurashi is gone from this world. Everybody couldn't move as his or her eyes trailed at the soon to be dead hanyou. Screams erupted from the crowd, the only thing they can do as they watched helplessly as the child hanyou kept on falling, her eyes closed and a peaceful smile on her child face. She is now six feet from hitting the ground before she dies.
"KASHAAA!!!"
"NOOOOOO!!!"
Hey, sorry I didn't update soon.
So I made an extra long chapter to make it up.
Reason why I didn't update when I said I'll update when I get five reviews are:
1.) It's summer common! I wanted to play and be immature!
