Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
Chapter Four
A hollow eyed demon walked aimlessly, following the man who brought her back to life; in a very small sense.
"Rina, dear, I've got a mission for you."
She stopped two steps behind him. "Yes master."
"Take these, fill them with your hate." He pulled out four jewel shards from inside his attire. "When I give you your location, I want you to find any other items like these."
Stretching out her hand she graciously took them. "Of course master."
"Unless I call you back, don't and I mean DON'T stop your attacks. Understand?"
Rina's head tipped to one side as if she was weighing his words.
"Understand?" He asked again, this time through clenched teeth.
"Yes master."
Kagura and Kanna were close by, watching and waiting.
"Look at her." Kagura spat in disgust. "'Yes master,' this. 'Yes master,' that." She mocked.
Kanna looked on silently.
"I can't stand her. Just look at the way she sits there; at his beckon call."
Kanna observed the situation. Barely shrugging, she walking away.
Kagura sighed, not enjoying the past few days. She glared at Rina as the girl walked by. "What are you looking at?"
Rina stopped, a smirk on her face. "Just wondering what it must be like to look into the eyes of a stronger demon." Her pupilless purple eyes stared back at the wind demon. "So tell me, what is it like, Kagura?" Without receiving an answer, she walked away chuckling to herself.
Kagura could only stand the laughing for so long. She turned toward the way Kanna and Rina went. "I will make you pay."
Rina paused, looking behind her.
"Dance of the Blades."
Kanna stopped the attack with her mirror as Rina had moved out of the way.
"If you want to continue to live," Rina landed next to Kagura pulling her sword to the wind demon's throat. "I'd advise you not to attack me. Especially when my back's turned away. A sign of weakness, Kagura."
"Stop!" Naraku commanded. Still sitting in the same position. "Rina let her go." He moved slightly. "Kagura heed her advise. She's not the only one enforcing it."
Inuyasha woke to the morning sun and chatting of children playing. The front door of their provided home was open. Shippo and Kilala were outside playing with the kids.
Miroku walked in. "Well I've gotten most of our supplies."
A boy accidently ran into Inuyasha when he was chased in the house. Inuyasha was going to lay it on the kid but something stopped him.
Staring back at him were eyes as golden as his own; ones rare to come by.
"Amato!" A young girl ran to the door frame. "Amato hurry up."
The deamed one stubbled to his feet, bowed to the gentlemen, and ran out to door.
Miroku commented on something but it fell on deaf ears as Inuyasha slowly walked out.
Five kids were playing some type of ball. Shippo, Kilala and two others were playing further away in the dirt. Off to the right Moria, a boy who looked like Amato, and two women were talking in the shade. The more familar of the two was holding an infant.
"Good morning Inuyasha." Moria smile as he moved closer to them. "Akumo why don't you take Hanae to meet Kilala and Shippo."
Akumo took a quick glance at Inuyasha, taking the infant from the woman, then walking away.
"Inuyasha you remember Ayano." Moria introduced them. "I don't believe you've met Lilth, my youngest."
It wasn't how she looked specifically that triggered something within Inuyasha; she resembled Rina in so many ways. The innocent blue eyes, the purple hair.
"What's wrong?" Moria questioned while watching one team score over the other.
Inuyasha shook his head slowly. He wasn't going to talk about it, but it was something he wanted to confirm. "That boy..."
"Akumo?"
"The other one."
"Amato."
"His eyes...rare to come by."
Lilth smiled. "Their like his father's."
They watched them play in silence.
"Something about him..." Inuyasha was looking for the right words. "familar almost."
Moria was watching his expressions. "Ayano, Lilth, why don't you go start making rounds for dinner. Inuyasha and I need to discuss some items at hand.
