New Struggles Ch 9
"Talking"
'Thinking'
'Talking as animal'
"It's been three days already. What's taking them so long?" Inuyasha-chan whined.
"Geez Inuyasha your terrible. When your a guy your bad enough but when your a girl your even worse." Ayame said exasperated. "They can take care of themselves. You taught them well enough. Even if they needed help Sesshomaru and Koga are with them."
"Besides you know how Koga feels towards Kagome Inuyasha." Genta said.
"That's what I'm afraid of."
"You know that since Koga mated with Ayame he sees Kagome as a sister." Hikaku added.
'Quit whining you big baby and get some rest. We also found Yuuta so we'll be back in a few days.' Inuyasha-chan could almost hear the smile in Kagome's voice. 'Yuuta has a surprise for you when we get back.'
'Your cruel you know that.'
'Not that cruel besides it's his place to tell you.'
'Fine good night.'
'Good night Inuyasha.'
"Okay you three I'm calling it a day."
"Finally." Ayame said sighing. "I didn't think that I could have taken much more of her whining."
"What did you say?" Inuyasha-chan said angrily standing in Ayame's face.
Taken aback Ayame said. "I-i-i-i mean Goodnight to you as well."
"That's what I thought." Then she looked at Genta and Hikaku. The both of them cringed in fear.
"She's just as frightening as Kagome sometimes." Genta said after Inuyasha-chan was out of earshot.
The Next Morning
"First we'll go by your parents place so that they can see your okay." Kagome said.
"But they hate demons. How can I face them looking like this?" Gishou asked.
"That problem is actually quite easy to solve but since you weren't a natural born half demon you don't have to have acceptance from your parents for this to work."
"Acceptance to do what exactly." Gishou asked her curiosity piqued.
Instead of answering Kagome changed into her demon form, true-demon form, and finally her human form.
"Cool. Can you teach me how to do that?"
Staying in her human form for the time being told her. "Of course. All hanyo should be in control of their form. Most hanyo have one night a month they lose their demon blood and become human. But the demon blood and human blood in mine and my mate's are in perfect balance so we don't have a night of weakness. We also have control of how we appear and through us our children."
"Interesting but why is Yuuta full demon all the time then?"
"That's because I only have a drop of human blood in my veins so technically I am a full demon." Yuuta answered.
"Awe that means then that you don't have the cute ears." Gishou said.
"Quit complaining I can't help what I was born with."
"Can't you two continue this later? I need to teach Gishou how to control her demon blood if we're to get her to see her parents any time soon." Kagome said interrupting the two.
"Oh right. How long is this going to take?" Gishou asked.
"Oh just a second." Kagome said as she reached up to touch Gishou's forehead.
When Kagome's finger came into contact with Gishou's forehead information flooded into her brain. Surprisingly Gishou fainted from information overload.
"Oops it appears that she hasn't gotten used to her demon blood yet. Oh well it can't be helped she'll awaken momentarily."
As predicted she awoke almost immediately. "Oh my head. What was that? Whoa that helps a lot." Gishou said as she changed into her human form.
"That's taken care of now let's go. Do you know where your parents live?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Actually not its exact location but I can tell you some of the landmarks. That mountain is to the north of my home."
"Well then it's about 60 miles away let's get moving." Miu said as she phased into her dragon form.
"Augh." Gishou screamed as she hid behind Kagome. "What are you people."
"Oh we're just normal people that happen to be hanyou." Kagome said with a smile. "Well up you go." she concluded as she swung Gishou onto Miu's back where she sat stiff as board.
'Come on everybody get on.' Miu growled out.
"I can understand you. How is that?" Gishou said trying to look at Miu's face.
'It's because your a hanyo and I'm a hanyo. All hanyo can understand each other as long as they spoke the same language when in hanyo form.' Miu said. 'Enough talk let's move.'
Sesshomaru flew on his own saying that he didn't need help to keep up.
A few hours later Miu flew by Gishou's house so they landed a few miles away.
After landing they decided to let Gishou go across the clearing by herself to see her parents reactions.
"Okasan Otosan I'm home." Gishou called out when she saw them.
Hearing her voice they looked up wearing frightened expressions. Catching sight of her they flee for the house barricading themselves inside.
Standing at the door Gishou called "It's me Gishou I've returned."
"You can't be our daughter. She was taken by a demon about a week ago there is no way that she could have survived. Obviously your a demon disguised as our daughter but we won't fall for your tricks now beat it." The couple behind the locked door said.
"But I'm your daughter. How could you turn away your own flesh and blood?"
"Your not our daughter so get lost." Her father said before they started throwing items from inside the house at her.
At the beginning of this onslaught Gishou ran for the cover of the trees where Kagome was waiting with open arms. When Gishou was safe in Kagome's arms she broke down in tears as she released her hold on staying in her human form.
"It's ok Gishou your safe with us we won't abandon you. Besides my son is your mate even if the rest of us abandoned you he couldn't or he would die. Do you understand me?" Kagome said comforting the girl.
After hearing this Gishou calmed down and fell asleep from emotional exhaustion.
"Now let's go home." Kagome said cradling Gishou in her arms.
Two days later
"Inuyasha we're home." Kagome called upon Miu landing.
"Finally I thought y'all would never get back." Inuyasha-chan said. "Hello. Who is this?"
"Yuuta explain to your Otosan who this is." Kagome told Yuuta.
"Well-l-l-l." Yuuta started shuffling from one foot to another. "You See-e-e-e."
"Spit it out already." Inuyasha-chan said getting impatient.
"She's my mate."
"What? How did this happen she's only about four."
"Actually Inuyasha she's almost eight." Kagome explained.
"You mean she isn't a natural born hanyo?" Inuyasha-chan asked.
Then Yuuta explained what occurred at Naraku's hideout.
"I see what happened." Inuyasha-chan said "Well Gishou welcome to the family. Your name means playful laughter right."
"Yes that's correct." Gishou said shyly.
"Well if you live up to your names sake that means your the perfect match for Yuuta. You might rub off on him that would be a nice change." Inuyasha-chan said laughing. "Well at least everything turned out okay."
"Thank you for all you've done for me."
"Don't sweat it your one of us." Sakura answered
"I know you consider me family."
Then Miu put her arms around Gishou and said."Not just family. Your another hanyo and hanyos need to stick together."
OOooOOooOO
Oh this is touching. Gishou has found a family that won't leave her.
Everyone needs someone they can depend on. Someone they can trust.
I can depend on you. Correct?
You are me so what are you worried about. Since this pointless conversation is finished can the readers that have gotten to this point in the story please review. We don't care if they're anonymous or not.
