~ Chapter Four ~
The Threat Of The Blind Corpse,
Dense Wolves, And A Touch Of The Truth
By Inuyashas Youkai
'Inuyasha : Since the day I met you,And after all we've been through..I'm still a dick.I'm addicted to you I think you know that it's true ..I'd run a thousand miles to get you '
Kagome:I'm realizing that I had to go through all those things to learn the truth....Sometimes clouds have two sides, a dark and light, and a silver lining in between.... '
Sango and Miroku , traveled to get enough space between them , Kikyo and the wolf, with the confusion of when the miko had become their friends mate . Not that they weren't happy about the information but they were shocked was all,and didn't think that their hanyou friend had finally chosen ,Kagome. It was obvious that Kikyo nor Kouga knew about it either or chose to ignore it. What concerned them was if there friend was okay ,having to contain both that of his ex and Kagome 's past suitor.
About halfway back to the village ,with Inuyasha's forest in sight, that their decent upon the hilltop was deterred by a crunch of leaves behind them. When they turned hesitantly they found themselves standing in front of a pissed off elder miko,with a cold gleam in her eyes,and standing taunt with a sacred arrow poised at the girl shielded in the monks sidestepped the monk and pushed him behind her while advancing the scorned Kikyo, with that of her slayers blade,and against her powerful arrow.
"Get the fuck outta here Miroku! Now!" Sango yelled
" Im on it!" Miroku returned in midst run
~ With Sango and Kikyo~
"What the hell is your problem , what the fuck do you have against Kagome, when she has done nothing but help the situation."Sango yelled while keeping her at bay with her sword.
"My problem is with that wretched fake of a copy ,she took him away and made him want to stay with her when he promised to be with me ,Kagome has always been my problem. So I intent to send her back where she belongs " Kikyo threatened while matching thrust for push between the two clashing weapons
"Over my dead body you are you stupid bitch ! Why don't you just die and let the big girls like us handle it .Just go back and play house somewhere else cause we don't want you"
"So be it " Kikyo stated sending her across the field into a now splintered tree , knocking her observed the damage then followed in the direction where her copy and the discraceful monk were heading.
~ Miroku and Kagome~
A growl echoed in Miroku's ears ,and in habit of checking suroundings out of the corner of his eye found nothing but knew that something wasn't right ,they had company. Almost to their salvation ,as the hut was in sight from the borders of Inuyasha's forest ,just entering the old village, when he heard the menacing howl once again. Shaking his head ,with once again finding nothing the monk continued forward into the hut.
Once inside finding Kaede stewing over a pot of something that she was concocting, but due to the mystery of their secret visitor that he didn't pay much attention to the smell to que in on the special recipe ,and the purpose it was for. Locating a nearby cot to lay the unconscious miko on ,and then settling beside her in a protective stance with his staff at the could be heard coming towards the hut and Miroku gave Kaede instructions to stay behind him and to look after Kagome.
It wasn't until the flap of the bamboo waving open then closed, that a blur of silver and blue knocking over ,mixing with a red and white form ,accompanied with more growls and howls. Soon following a stoic familiar older Inu Youkai stood at the door with a smirk coming into his once silent facade,drawn to the newcomers scent. The stranger ,Miroku knew firmly had Kikyo held between the collar of her top ,and currently was dragging her outta the hut with quick and fluid movements. Every once in a while you would see the movement of the vigerous shake of the frozen scared body which was now petrified Kikyo.
Moments later ,Inuyasha came into the clearing passing the large group to come to the attention that his elder brother was further tainting his day with his mate. Noticing the snide smirk he passed into the hut to only find Kaede in the the way out to question where Kagome was ,Inuyasha ran into Kirara with a unconscious Sango . In mere minutes , the hanyou became filled with worry ,and then ordered the old hag to see to his packmate, before heading back out to question the obviously entertained group.
"Miroku, Where's Kagome?"
"What! You mean she's not with Kaede?"
"No ! If she was do ya think I would be asking?"
"I swear I brought .. " Miroku started then stopped seeing a renewed smirk on the older of the inu brother's face.
"What the hell are you all happy about?"
" Calm down little brother, I can't believe this myself but I can assure you that she's still here but I don't understand ..It can't be !"
"What the fuck are you blabbering about ?Where is Kagome?"
" Koneko! " Sesshomeru commanded while ignoring that of his brother to prove what confused him directly himself, not being able to find the words to make them understand.
"Grrrrrrrrrr" Koneko returned then with a flick of her neck Kikyo's body of bones and clay flew across the oncoming sunset
"What the hell ! "Inuyasha yelled softly while the memories shimmered within his mind
" Wait a minute Inuyasha ,you will know soon enough. Though I still can't believe it myself."Sesshomeru spoke while he joined his brother when the past took him
~Forgotten Memories Of The Past~
A little hanyou girl was cuddled within the arms of a Inu Youkai , sitting next to his mother and father .The girl had to be a young pup but knew even though she looked to be just a toddler that she had to be older. Both Inu brother's found her new scent after coming in from outside ,although of course from different directions. They had spent may years growing up together with the little hanyou brat they coined as Koneko (Kitten) ,as her father called her but never knew her real name ,because they felt they liked theirs better for her,and didn't care what retarded name she was given by birth ,for theirs was the best.
All three of them had become very close ,spending nearly every day together until something happened where her father had to send her mother and her away . It had come by a chance years before that her parents found such a way but saved that as a last resort until the time came where they had to use this option. The boys never knew what had happened to her ,Koneko just disappeared without a trace , and after that they no longer saw their family either except for the rare and exceptional occasions where her father Toya came to talk with father, as a general of his army. Although those had eventually stopped as far as they new.
~ Present Time~
The two Inu brother's were brought back in their reverie when a small hanyou female came out from the midst of the flying dirt from her tossle with the horrid dog toy, trotted her way into the eyesight. Koneko had black hanyou ears like her father Tayo ,but still kept Kagome's facial features as her own .Elongated fangs poking from under her teasing smirk and her clawed hands and feet were lightly making their mark across the soft dirt towards them. Gasps from around the tight circle surrounding the hut,as revelations hit hard in the group ,the brothers in particular,especially made her way first to Sesshomeru to rub her snout against the ice lord's leg then skadattled over towards the other brother Inuyasha ,her mate.
"Shit ! "Sesshomeru and Inuyasha stated at the same exact time.
" What! You that surprised that you would find me back here to keep you boys in line ..Ha fat chance ! Your stuck with me!Especially you dog boy" Koneko teased and pointed to both the flabbergasted brothers then lastly landing on Inuyasha
"What !" Sesshomeru yelled
"How!"Inuyasha followed
"Later ,but first I am hungry after dealing with that disgusting, wretch, smelling thing ,of a chew toy over their she smelt like dirt so I thought ..at least until the thing talked and the rotten taste of death burned my tongue..Boy was I wrong!To think Inuyasha, you actually enjoying kissing that thing and if you ever expect to kiss me again you need to throughly clean that dirty mouth of yours ! Although for now I will tell ya what you obviously should already know Kagome and Koneko are one and the same ..Me .As well as the both of them are one and the same with my name given to me when I was born ..I am also ..Keiko...(Blessed Child) " Kaneko stated before checking to see if they understood ,when getting nods from everyoone she proceeded into the old hag's hut, that is until...
"What is that horrid smell it almost smells as bad as that dead doll eww! " Kaneko inquired distastefully with her Kimono sleeves covering over her nose while taking a defensive squat just in front of her sought location.
Before any of them had the chance to answer ,ferocious growling from Inuyasha soon to be followed in action with Sesshomeru for a certain wolf to enter their midst.
"Uh , Mr wolf ,I don't mean to be rude but its Kouga isn't it?"
"Ya who's asking ?"
"Well I don't really care either way I can go with fleebag if you want but seriously ..um ..You stink ! You go take a bath before you talk one step closer before I do it for you! Me don't want your fleas! " Koneko admitted before prancing towards Sesshomeru and Inuyasha
Two things happened Inuyasha dropped helplessly to the ground in hysterical laughter before she finished and only fueled in intensity as Koneko continued, and lastly everyone else smirked trying to withhold joining him,well except recovering from his pleasant attack of laughter ,Inuyasha had stepped closer to crouch next to his mate Koneko and kissed her gently..
"I don't care as long as your my mate I love you anyway,now I love you even more after that ! Thanks for finally standing up him ."Inuyasha whispered from his place within her curtain of black,where his mate mark laid and then kissed it as well
"Damn mutt , you finally fight me for Kagome as your mate only to take another .I thought dogs mate for life!"
"This Sesshomeru thinks he gave you more credit and you are stupider than I originally thought, you put the mutt on a pedastal and that is sad." The eldest spoke emotionlessly with a roll of his eyes
"What! Both Inuyasha and Kouga yelled in defiance to what was said"
"Silence brother! I have near complimeted you against your rival and Kouga I will leave you to your infinate wisdom to figure it out!"
The stunned group of the Inu- tachi followed the Hanyou girl that was once apart of their past and now returning back home as their future. While they awaited for the rest of the answers that plagued them ,they also curious as to what it meant to their upcoming trials in the for rest of today they would enjoy it with each other .For tommorro would be another day as they uncovered the rest of the hidden truth of the past while persuing the evils of the present.
