Hello all and welcome to Chapter 11 of A New Member of the Family! Last time we all met was Akira's training with her sword. Now I wanted you guys to review cause I wrote the chapter as I thought of it. Well anyway so far only one review! I'm so disappointed but its ok cause as I go along I'm sending a shout out to my cousin Diana who is sometimes busy but still reads my story. So thanks! Anyway along with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not and will not (yet i hope to) own any Inuyasha characters! Only Akira and the plot :) Anyway please enjoy and REVIEW!

When Kagome finished putting Akira down she joined the others to discuss about Akira's powers.

"Now lets begin..." Totosai started. "The great wolf demon, Ryoshi, was one of the stongest demons in the country, next to your father Inuyasha. Where ever he went, it was danger for anyway who stood in his way. If there was a village that did not let him through he would slaughter the first person who tried to appose him."

"He's as as bad as Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"Not exactly." Myoga said out of nowhere.

"Myoga?" Inuyasha said.

"He wasn't like that all time. You see, Ryoshi met a half demon named Haruka. This changed Ryoshi for the better and he changed for her." Myoga said.

"Yes thats it exacty," Totosai added. "Haruka was a half demon and not just your ordinary half demon. She was a special type."

"Like what exactly" Miroku said.

"She was a physic demon combined with the powers of the elements. Earth, Fire, Water, Ice, Air, you name it. She could do anything with those powers," Myoga said.(If you watch pokemon then you know what I'm talking about. On with the story)

"Well then where did her human come from." Inuyasha said.

"I believe it was from her mother. Akira's great grandmother to be exact. All of the lines of Akira's mother have had the potential of controlling the elements and any other thing that had some living. They were true demons." Myoga said.

"When Ryoshi met Haruka, it was as if Haruka purified his heart in that instant he saw her." Totosai said.

"What do you mean "purified his heart"? Kagome asked.

"Well, after the day they met, Ryoshi went through many villages, since he traveled a lot, but instead of having some sort of agruement or killing..He helped." Myoga said. "He saw men, women and children in need of help and the rest is history!"

"Haruka had a flute with her when she was alive," Totosai began. "Where ever you saw her, you would see her either with her flute or playing it."

"It was said that when a village was in need of medicine or saftey, all Haruka had to do was play her flute in the center of the village on the night of the full moon and then the village would instantly be back to health. Even the crops would begin to grow in her place. She would leave but in her place would be peace," Myoga explained.

"Ryoshi was a powerful demon who didn't care about a thing." Totosai started.

"But when Haruka met him, she saw the good in him and she never saw the evil that he possessed or so I believe. They truly loved each other." Myoga said happily. Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other because Kagome accepted Inuyasha no matter what. Human or Demon. They both realized that they were looking at each other and blushed and looked away quickly.

"Two years had passed and rumors had it that Ryoshi and Haruka moved far away and had a child with them. That child was Akira." Totosai said. No one knew but Akira was now awake at this point listening to the whole conversation that was going on.

"Shippo.." Akira said weakly.

"Akira you shouldn't be moving around. You were badly wounded due to the sword that Inuyasha stabbed through you. It did you a lot of damage." Shippo said.

"I'm fine Shippo." Akira smiled.

"Ryoshi and Haruka were then never heard of. Since then Ryoshi and Haruka lived a happy life with their only daughter." Myoga said.

"Did they live near Kaede's village?" Sango asked.

"I believe so. Rumors had it that they lived near the sacred tree so yes." Myoga answered.

"Wow. I can't believe Akira went through all this and so little time with her own family," Kagome said sadly.

"Yes its a shame. After the death of Akira's parents she was shut down and then never--" but before Myoga could finish, a foot had smashed him mid sentence. It was Akira.

"Akira?!" Kagome said.

"Quit talking like you know me so well! You don't know what the hell I've been through so don't talk about my past without my permission!" Akira said. Her eyes were so full of anger and sadness that her glare would scare even Sesshomaru. "I've been through hell without them and you know what I don't need a flea and some old fart telling my past to anyone." Akira then started to walk away.

"Akira you shouldn't be moving around..." Shippo said as he chased after Akira.

"Well I can see why Akira would be mad." Miroku said.

"Yeah." Sango added. "I mean she misses her parents and where she grew up. I know how much pain she's dealing with."

"Is that what you had to deal with too, Inuyasha?" Kagome said.

"Yeah" Inuyasha nodded. "When my mother died, I had to go through hell and live on my own. I didn't have any experience with demons so I understand what Akira had to go through. Just hearing it makes me think of what I went through. You know."

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Akira wait!" Shippo yelled. He was trying to get Akira not to move so much.

"Shippo just go away. I'm fine," Akira said.

"I'm sorry that you lost your parents but we can help you. You have us and if it makes you feel any better...I lost my mother and father too." Shippo said.

"I'm sorry Shippo" Akira said. They both soon stopped at a near by waterfall. "Shippo can you do me a favor."

"Sure what is it?" Shippo asked.

"Could you stand guard while I go for a swim" Akira said.

"What but the water is so cold and--" Shippo was cut off by Akira.

"Don't worry I'll be fine. Just like the hot springs relaxes you, the cold running water relaxes me too." Akira said calmly.

"Ok Akira I'll stand guard. You can count on me" Shippo said.

"Oh and Shippo," Akira started, "Thanks for the confort." She smiled.

"Oh no problem," Shippo said through a blush, "It was the least I could do."

"Alright just throw me a scream if anyway comes ok." Akira said.

"Yup" Shippo said. Akira went behind a bolder and got undressed. Shippo went a few feet away so that he could check if anyone was coming and to give Akira some privacy. Akira went inside the water and relaxed.

(Ok guys the italics is Akira, the bold will be Akira's demon and Akira's human will be bold italics.)

'Mother and Father. I wonder if your watching over me at this very moment. The sword is too much for me to handle. I mean as soon as I got injured my demon came out and started to control me. It was like my whole body was a mind of its own." Akira thought.

"Were you scared Akira," Akira's demon said which made Akira jump. "You'll get used to it don't worry, in time you'll understand. Besides were one." Akira's demon said.

"Akira its no just you and your demon. I'm here too." Akira's human said which made Akira a bit calmer.

'Listen I know ok I just need to think things through ok.' Akira said and her two sides left her to her things. Akira just looked up at the moon and thinked of her mother and how they would always look at it when Akira's father went away. She touched her birthmark which was a wolf howling. A few tears ran down her cheeks and so she went on looking at the moon trying to remember the memories she had.

Shippo was high in the tree looking for anyone who would come there way. He then heard a few voices and coming in close. It was Kagome and Inuyasha. They were trying to look for Akira.

'Uh-oh this isn't good.' Shippo thought.

"Are you sure she went through here," Kagome said.

"Yeah her scent goes through here." Inuyasha said. Then Shippo came out of the tree and put his arms out to stop them.

"Shippo?!" They both said.

"Stop you can't go through!" Shippo said.

"Oh really and why not?!" Inuyasha said.

"Um..because..um..I claim this taritory..yeah thats right." Shippo said nervously. 'I can't tell them that Akira's here.'

"Why you little runt! Inuyasha said. Inuyasha then kicked Shippo which made him jump through the air. He landed right infront of Akira who was just about to come out. Shippo and Akira looked at each other and Akira went back into the water and screamed.

"Wait no Akira its not what it looks like!" Shippo said throwing his hands infront of him in defense.

"Shippo I told you to stand guard not to stand guard here!" Akira said blushing a deep red. "Get out!"

"Wait Akira please." Shippo tried to calm her down but Akira through a barrier around her a pushed Shippo out of the way.

"Did you here that?" Inuyasha said.

"You know I don't have good hearing like you." Kagome said.

"Shh..Listen." They both listened and heard Akira and Shippo fighting.

"That's Akira and Shippo." Kagome said before she could say anything else Inuyasha grabbed her by the hand and made a run for Akira. When they got there the saw Shippo on a high tree but no Akira.

"Shippo where's Akira." Kagome said. Shippo pointed to the waterfall.

"She's trying to relax you know. She's bathing." Shippo said. Kagome and Inuyasha were shocked and looked to see if Akira was there. They saw her head and Inuyasha hid behind a tree while Kagome went to get Akira.

"I tried to tell you." Shippo said exhausted.

"Its ok Shippo. You were only trying to protect Akira right?" Kagome said which made Shippo blush. Akira came out and started to get dressed.

"Akira are you alright." Kagome said.

"Yeah I'm fine." Akira said still having the blush on her face.

"You sure your face is red." Kagome said.

"I'm fine ok." Akira said looking away. She had the same face as Inuyasha when ever Kagome caught him blushing.

"Well ok. Let's go back to camp." Kagome said.

"Ok." Akira said. She looked to see Shippo who was climbing out of the tree.

"Akira I'm sorry but--" Shippo started but was cut off.

"Its ok Shippo you were only trying to protect me right?" Akira said which made Shippo blush.

"Um..yeah." Shippo said.

"Thanks. No come on." Akira said and handing out a hand to Shippo. She smiled and Shippo went into her arms. They both went back following behind Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Hey Inuyasha. Do you think Shippo starting to have a thing with Akira?" Kagome said into his ear so Akira and Shippo wouldn't hear.

"Do you think Akira is too?" Inuyasha said. "Yeah I've been noticing it lately too."

"Let's just leave them ok." Kagome said and Inuyasha nodded. They all came back to camp and sat around the fire. Shippo was still in Akira's arms when they all sat down.

"Well I'm off." Totosai said.

"Where are you going?" Sango said.

"Back home oh and Akira here." Totosai said handing over Akira's sword. "I hope that you'll use this sword well. It will protect you throughout your journey." Akira just looked at the sword and nodded as if to say thank you. With everything said, Totosai left them and went back home.

"Wait a minute he didn't tell about the sword. That old man." Inuyahsa said.

"Don't worry I'm here." Myoga said jumping up and down.

"Myoga you know about the sword's power?" Miroku said.

"Well of course who do think was there helping Totosai and Ryoshi." Myoga said and everyone stayed quite. "Well Akira's sword is no different from yours Master Inuyasha."

"Oh really? How so?" Inuyasha said.

"Well the sword was forged by Ryoshi's fang and Haruka's physic powers." Myoga started. Everyone seemed shocked and listened in. "The sword works the same way as the Tetsaiga. Its called the Kinaka."

"The Kinaka?" Kagome said.

"Yes the Kinaka protects Akira from becoming a full fleshed demon. Akira's demon is a powerful demon. Most of her power comes from her father, Ryoshi." Myoga said. "Her demon is even strong enough to kill Inuyasha's demon half!"

"Wow. That's a strong demon." Sango said in disbelief.

"Precisly! That's why when Akira was born, Ryoshi and Haruka sensed her power and Ryoshi road off to Totosai to make a sword, Kinaka. The sword holds in all the power and enables Akira to control the power. If she is far away from her sword for too long or if she's injured during battle without her sword, she immediatly becomes a demon." Myoga said.

"So that's why father told me to never leave it." Akira said.

"Yes and will you." Myoga said.

"Well if it keeps my demon in tack then no I won't lose sight of my sword Kinaka." Akira said.

"Phew that's good. Now all you have to do is master it." Myoga said.

"Yeah but we already saw what happened. She almost killed Totosai." Inuyasha said.

"Yes I am aware of that. That is why you're going to train her Master Inuyasha" Myoga said.

"What?!" Inuyasha almost screamed.

"Well your the only person who both understand the swords power and train Akira and your the only one who is campable to." Myoga said in his defense. "Don't worry she won't kill you--Wait Akira did the sword pulse or anything when Totosai gave it to you?"

"Um..No...Why?" Akira said.

"Well then you see. Akira won't attack you since the sword has already had a taste of Akira's demon blood." Myoga said.

"Well ok I guess." Inuyasha said and then looked at Akira. "We'll start tommorrow." Akira just nodded.

Meanwhile...

"So is that why you want her," a female voice said.

"Yes. That is why I have been watching her. I wanted to wait for her demon to be awakened so that I may be ready," a man said while looking into a mirror. "Kagura get the demons ready. Tommorrow we'll start."

"As you wish." the women named Kagura said.

'Hmm. Soon you'll be mine Akira. You, your demon and your pathetic friends. Tommorrow we shall meet and you will never be the same again. Your'll be mine.' the man said as he smiled down at the girl.

"There ready. Naraku what do you want me to do now." Kagura said.

"We shall see tommorrow morning if Akira can withstand her precious sword." the man named Naraku said. He grinned and then went to prepare for the day ahead.

'Tommorrow you'll be mine....

Well thats it for this chapter. What will happen during Akira's training and what plan does Naraku have in mind? Well your just going to have to find out. Oh, I can't believe I finished this chapter!
