Chapter 3 The Hybrid Inu-Youkias

(I do not own Inu Yasha.)

Everyone that was there could only just stare at the three without a word. Almost everyone had no idea that Kagome was a demon. Or that she had two other sisters. What was the world coming to? Inu Yasha then got up his nerves and, "What the hell are you three?" Inu Yasha yelled.

Darleena turned to Inu Yasha very annoyed by his choice in words, do to the fact that there were small children around. You should not use that kind of language around them. "We are the Triad Sister's," she said in a-matter-of-fact tone.

"What? I have heard of you three." Sango said, "It was said that the Triad Sister's were hybrid Inu-Youkias.' So is it true? Are you are hybrids?"

"Yes Sango it is true." Kagome answered.

"But that cannot be. Why were you human?" Inu Yasha asked.

"That is only one of the many things we are able to do. And as for Kagome being Kikyo's reincarnation…that is impossible." Cali said.

Miroku looked to Cali, "How so?" He asked.

Sango then shaded some light on the subject. "Because the three of them are over six hundred year's old. She had no right in steeling Kagome's soul in the first place." Sango replied.

"What is a hybrid?" Shippo asked, looking at his adopted mother for the answer.

There was nothing but silence for some time, until, "A hybrid…is mating several different types of one spices. Um…some help here?" Kagome said.

"Alright. To sum it up: we are every type of Inu-Youkia there is, plus some others." Darleena finished.

"What other's are there?" Sango and Inu Yasha asked.

"Wolf, Fox, Dragon, Feline, Witch, Miko, and Changeling." Kagome answered.

"But how is that possible? Those are all enemies to one another." Miroku asked.

"It's quite simple. Our true age is three hundred seven thousand, and nine hundred and fifty years. That is how it is possible. We may look young but we are not. Our mother was about the same age as us when she had us." Cali said, as almost everyone gasped, no one would have figured that they were that old.

"At the time we were born, all of this species worked together in peace." Kagome said simply.

"One thing that we do all the time is time-travel, but that came from one of the Inu-Youkia. It is one thing that takes a lot of power to do." Darleena said.

"But that ability has been forgotten over the passing of time." Kagome said, as she waved her hand with a shrug.

"We are the only ones that know how to time-travel properly." Darleena stated, "However there is one thing I want to know? Kagome why did you allow Inu Yasha to time-travel? When you know that a haft-breed would normally die? Why did you not close the time portal?" She growled.

"I did close it. However, since he has that rosary on, rosaries that are spelled to myself, the portal reopened. How was I to know that would happen?" Kagome spat, glaring at Darleena with spite. "Why did you allow him to time-travel?"

Whack

"Will you guys stop, hitting me?" Kagome growled… raising her jaki.

"Not until you stop being disrespectful, to everyone!" Darleena growled back, raising her jaki also, to the point that some backed away from her.

"Calm yourselves, sister's. We do not need to start a pissing contest, now do we?" Cali asked, looking from one to the other with warning glares in her eyes.

In seeing the warning glares, "No we don't." They said as their jaki dissipated.

Cali stopped the warning glares, "Good," she said as she saw Miroku walk over to her sister, Darleena.

Miroku turned and dropped to his knees, tacking Darleena's hand in his. "You are the most beautiful maiden in all the lands," he said, "Will you please bear my child?"

Sango hit Miroku with the hirikotsu (I don't know if that is the right spelling.), rendering him unconscious.

"Why did you hit him?" Cali asked, turning to look at Sango.

Sango went bright red, answering the question. All Kagome could do was laugh at this. To her it was quite obvious to see.

Darleena arched an eyebrow, "Kagome, what is so amusing?" Darleena asked, looking at her.

Kagome just continued to laugh, "If you knew Sango well enough then you would know the answer." She said, as she was pointing at Sango's now, bright red face.

Sesshomaru smirked, noticing Miroku slowly waking. He knelt down, his smirk ever present, waiting for Miroku to open his eyes. This did not take very long.

"Why do you desire an heir to the point that you would ask a stranger to bear your child?" Sesshomaru asked, looking Miroku stare in his eyes.

Miroku looked at Sesshomaru, "Because of the curse Naraku placed upon my family." He answered, "Each generation will suffer the curse of the Wind Tunnel and will ultimately meet the same end. The curse, will continue to plague my family until the descendant can defeat Naraku. If I cannot be the descendant to avenge my father and my grandfather, I would hope to have an heir of my own who can do it for me."

Sesshomaru arched an eyebrow. "Really?" he asked. "Do you realize you have asked a demon to bear your child?"

Miroku stared in shock. "She's a Demon?" he asked, looking at Darleena in awe. "But how can one with such beauty be a demon?"

Darleena then kicked him, for that comment. She did not like that at all.

Miroku then got up to face Darleena, "I only meant that you would be a Heavenly Maiden!" he said.

Sango went over to him, and smacked him, causing Miroku to cower. "What?" she demanded, the fire of her anger not lost to Miroku.

"Forgive me, Sango!" Miroku pleaded, whale he slowly backed away from her.

Darleena then stepped in, "Besides, I'm not The Maiden." Darleena contessed. "Kagome is."

Shippo looked at Darleena wide eyed, "What?" he asked.

"Kagome is The Maiden." Darleena said again, so Shippo understood her.

"So what are you?" Shippo asked Darleena.

"I am The Mother." Darleena answered, "And Cali is The Crone." She said pointing to Cali, who was shacking her head.

Sesshomaru then walked over to Inu Yasha and hit him, then said, "The death of your mate is what you deserve for choosing a dead women over a maiden such as Kagome. Even a pitiful Hanyou such as you should have been able to recognize their power. Oh, and it is nice to see the three of you reunited." As he said the last part, he turned to look at Kagome and her sisters.

"It's a good thing he keep quiet, eh?" Kagome said, through her thoughts.

"If he hadn't, he would have regretted it."

"True."

'If they hadn't saved me from the mob that butchered my mother, I wouldn't have kept quiet this long. Besides, it was only a matter of time before they revealed them selves again once Kagome returned.' Sesshomaru thought.

"And don't forget, Sesshomaru, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't be here today." Darleena said softly.

Inu Yasha laughed, "Are you telling me that he needed someone to protect him?" He laughed again. "Right."

"Inu Yasha," Kagome said in a tone that proved she was far beyond angry at what Inu Yasha had just said.

"What?" he demanded, all the whale glaring at Kagome?

"Who saved your life?" Kagome asked. "Who freed you? Who allowed you to travel through time? Without us, you wouldn't be here either!" She yelled. "You may not remember, but when you wondered off on your own when you were a child, you nearly fell from the cliff because you were careless! If I hadn't been there, you would have died!"

Inu Yasha stared in shock. "That was you?" he whispered.

Kagome stared at him coldly. "Yes." She said darkly. "That was I. Now, if you insist on this petty rivalry, I will make the both of you pay." She said, turning to include Sesshomaru in her scolding. "Sit."

The beads around Inu Yasha's neck glowed brighter than ever before. Before the beads had reached their brightest, eye hurting, state, Inu Yasha was thrown to the ground. Those closest to him, with the exception of the Triad Sisters, were forced to jump out of the way, to avoid falling into the crater caused by the force of the spell of subjugation.

"Inu Yasha."

Inu Yasha tried to lift his head, but the power of the beads kept him held down.

"I'm disappointed in you."

"Father?" Inu Yasha asked, his nose still pressed into the dirt.

"You have been given the chance to change your ways. Your demon side should have pushed you to make the change, however your human side made you cling to the past. You, unlike any other, have been given the opportunity to become something much greater than what you are. You have chosen the human way out. You have chosen a woman who clings to life even though she loathes it and knows that she does not belong, when you could have chosen Lady Kagome and lived like the demon you have so desperately wanted to be for so long. Not only this but you have disgraced this family. I am shamed to call you son."

Sesshomaru chuckled.

The Great Dog Demon turned toward his eldest son. "And you, Sesshomaru, have not brought much pride to us either. You loathe your brother, because he is my son and he is half human. You—"

"I'll ask you to stop now." Cali called out. "The more you peruse this, the more you prove your ignorance to your son. You clearly do not understand the events that have unfolded in his life and thus have no comprehension as to why he and Inu Yasha disagree or why he is the why he is." Cali turned to Sesshomaru. "With your permission," she said softly, "I believe the time has come to enlighten the crowd."

Sesshomaru froze. "You wish to show them?" he asked.

Cali nodded. "The ignorance in this place leads me to believe that the time has come to reveal, not all, but some of your past, my love."

Sesshomaru sighed heavily, "If you think the time is right, then do it."
