In a wide futon, wound in the covers, Inuyasha and Kagome lay dormant. An arm of the half demon encircled the girl's body, while the other one was kept under its pillow. Out the sun had risen already from a beautiful piece and the rays struck with insistence the couple, as to want them to wake up. Finally the hanyou opened the eyes and put the hand above, bothered by that light that it filtered through the window. Then looked at the beloved one's face and a light smile appeared on his lips when saw that a lock of hair was placed on her mouth. Gently moved it but immediately after the girl began to stir and finally woke up.
« Good morning » whispered Inuyasha caressing her hair.
« Good morning darling » replied Kagome yawning drowsy « But... it's late! » exclaimed jumping on the futon and quickly beginning to dress.
« Hey, what a rush! »
« Holy mackerel! I had promised to Kaede that this morning I would have helped her » said distressed while was systematizing her hair.
« Mpf, that old bag knows fend for herself very well » puffed the hanyou.
The miko turned, looking him indignant. « Inuyasha! »
The half-demon muttered something under his breath and pulled his pants. The girl was about to scold him but stopped when his eyes fell on his bare chest. His beautiful chest ...
« Kagome? Hey, Kagome! » The voice of her husband brought her to the reality.
« Eh, what? What's going on? » stuttered blinking.
« You sure you're fully awake? »
Kagome blushed but did not answer and flung herself out, leaving Inuyasha with a puzzled expression on his face.
A little farther on, in the yard of another house, two children were playing tag while a young woman arranged the clothes to dry in the sun. Behind her was carrying another child, tight in the back, sleeping blissfully, oblivious to the chatter of his sisters.
« Oh, good
morning Kagome . Where are you going in such a hurry ? » asked when she saw the girl go.
« Ah, Sango! Good morning to you . I'm sorry but I have to go to Kaede and I'm late »
« I understand , go ahead then. When you're free, go here to grab a cup of tea, right? »
The miko nodded . « Okay , see you later then »
« Goodbye aunt Kagome » greeted her the twins .
As she hurried to reach Kaede , Rin was busy trying a few berries in the woods. He knew that she was forbidden to go alone – after the death of Naraku , the demons , which until then had been hiding, returned to inhabit the forests and an occasional unlucky threw it into their mouth – but that morning Inuyasha was still sleeping with Kagome and Miroku had gone to do some exorcism in another village. He had avoided asking Sango to accompany her, busy keeping an eye on her three children and clean the house, and ask it to others she had no intention.
Despite being past three years, Rin still did not trust the villagers, with the exception of Kaede , Inuyasha and his companions. The old priestess, who had heard from Sesshomaru his tragic past, she left it was time to let her mature a little of trust in people. Fortunately, the child had established a good relationship with the half-demon and his friends, so she will not be alone .
However Rin felt sad . Her peers shunned – they knew that she had lived for a time with demons –that was not a big problem, but the long absences of her beloved Lord Sesshomaru. Oh yes, he came to visit her from time to time, bringing magnificent gifts but then disappeared almost immediately or he did not even see, leaving on her futon gifts. How she missed those days when she could run freely through the fields, under the watchful eye of the Prince of Demons and Jaken, flying on the back of Ah- Un, sleep at night outdoors without worries because there were always two magnificent amber eyes to watch over her.
Rin sighed. Now those happy moments were over.
"It is time to crash, enjoy this day and smile" said to herself mentally. "Go hunting for berries"
Finally found a bush full of those little delicious fruits and stooped to seize someone. She did not notice a giant shadow that had appeared behind him.
"What a waste of time" thought Hiko while whizzing through the trees. Her trip in Kyushu was pointless. The Great Dog Demon, dead. She almost did not believe it.
His death had occurred two centuries ago, as they had told him. Then they attacked. Much of a hassle. It only took a few minutes to knock them out, then came out of the castle, not after having them say where she could find the son of the Dog General. Honshu, told her that demon, terrified.
Now she was going through the whole island, asking some demon passing of the Prince of Demons. Of course he had made a great reputation that youkai. There were those who trembled upon hearing his name, while others hated him and wanted to kill him. They all agreed on one thing though: his power was enormous, thanks to his fearsome sword, Bakusaiga.
A very dangerous opponent, difficult to defeat. She smiled. "Good for, it will make the fight interesting"
Suddenly she heard a scream that made her stop abruptly. It came from her right, to hundreds of meters away. There was a demon that way, he was going to get a snack of tender human flesh. Normally she would let it go, after all that demon needed to feed, but she decided to go in that direction, mindful of the last speech that made her father. Something like "humans are special creatures , so it's worth trying to get close to them and help them in case of need".
Her mother was happy to those words – her family had made a vow not to eat human flesh - and had invited her to go to "study" with her one day.
Another scream averted from her memories. Hiko increased speed and two seconds later arrived on the scene. Just in time. A little girl of eleven years was about to be torn apart by the claws of a demon from the skin purple. It was about three feet high, two small horns on the head and hair greenish yellow.
Hiko held her breath. That monster gave off a terrible stench.
« Hey you! Does not it seem a bit small your prey? »
The giant stopped and turned his head toward his interlocutor. It was only a young demon . He turned attention away from the child and went to nuisance.
« Get out of here » ordered, looking at her menacingly with his yellow eyes.
« Or what? »
With a roar, the demon dropped his arm to strike that nosey but she was far faster. It took only a blow with the clawed hand and the head of the demon found himself rolling on the ground.
« What a pity, he was too weak » complained Hiko while cleaned her hand from the blood.
Rin was looking admiringly at the girl who had just saved her life. It was a golden-haired demon, twisted into a long braid that fell almost to the ground, and her eyes were a bright re , as if they were two precious stones set in their sockets. He was wearing a teal shirt with long sleeves and a long red skirt .
« Well, what you have to stare at me? » asked at one point the yasha .
In reply, the girl stood up and smiled at her, making her raise her eyebrows in surprise.
« Strange, why she do not run away as would any human being at the sight of a demon? »
Suddenly she felt demonic aura coming towards them. And it was very, very powerful .
« Girl, you'd better conceal... » said to warn her but a roar and then a shock waved her off, forcing her to cover herself with hands to protect her eyes from dust. When the cloud came down and she saw the newcomer, was dumbfounded. In front of her, proud and majestic, there was Sesshomaru.
