Where there is love, I'll be there
Present Time in Tokyo…
8:15 in the morning and a four-in-a-half year old boy with long silver hair and bright amber eyes sat at the kitchen table, eating his last stray cheerios with a spoon watching a kids channel from the kitchen table. His mother a beautiful black haired woman stood at the counter, pouring what looked like dark brown pencil shavings into the coffee maker. The woman hummed happily as she did so, gazing longingly at out the kitchen window at the perfect beginnings of summer day.
"Honey," she said, turning to her son, who glanced up indifferently from his half eaten breakfast. "You really ought to get dressed for school, or you're going to be late."
Her son sighed audibly, taking a quick look at his outfit. He was wearing slightly baggy blue jeans and a plain red tee shirt something Darien would have worn if he were there.
"I am dressed, Mom," He answered. His mother looked him up and down again, noting the denim and black sneakers on his feet.
"Of course you are. Eat the rest of your cereal." In mom talk, the boy took this to mean that his mother was not pleased with his choice of dress. He didn't really care. He loved his mom and all, but the day when he let her give him a fashion tip would be the day he went to school for fun, and not because it was required by law.
Just then, his father walked in to the room. First thing he did was walk over to his mother, who still had her back turned, patting his young son on the shoulder as he did.
"Morning, runt," he said affectionately to the boy, who scowled in reply and used his spoon to trap and o of cereal between the utensil and the edge of the bowl, but the thing jumped out of the bowl onto the table. His mother would have been displeased had she not been too distracted by his fathers' brand of good morning.
"Good morning, oh light of my life," he said fondly into her hair as she pulled a plate of bacon and eggs towards herself.
"Shut it, you," she snapped playfully, stuffing the first freshly cooked bacon piece into his mouth. He snickered happily.
"Ugh, gross," said their son loudly, in order to make his presence known to them, as they seemed to have forgotten. He was glad his parents still loved each other but he really preferred not to see displays of parental affection, especially not when he was trying to eat.
"Son," said his father, patting him on the shoulder. "I think its time you started being interested in girls," he joked. "They don't have cooties, you know."
Yuji looked up at him shocked. "Dad! Please! I'm too young!" Yuji exclaimed putting his hands over his ears.
Two fourteen-year-old teenage boys Ginta and Hakkaku walked into the Taisho's kitchen with their little brother Kouga whom raced over towards Yuji. Both Ginta and Hakkaku were wearing blue uniforms. Kouga had on black baggy jeans and a black jacket over his blue shirt with nothing on it except the black writing across the chest, which read Don't piss me off, I'm running out of places to hide the bodies' in jagged black lettering. Ginta told Kouga to keep his jacket zipped up so he wouldn't get in trouble.
"God, Yuji," he said in place of a morning greeting. "You have the table manners of a dog. We ought to just put down a bowl on the floor and let you eat from that."
"Shut up, Kouga." Yuji retorted.
"There goes that mouth of yours, Kouga." Ginta replied pulling his brother back towards him by his ear.
"Ow! Stop it Ginta!" Kouga said pushing him.
"Thank you both for walking Yuji to school." Touga replied to them as Hakkaku shrugged his shoulders.
"No problem, we owe it to Darien for always walking our annoying little toe rag of a brother to school for us." Hakkaku replied as Kouga looked at him furiously while as Yuji laughed.
"Two more days and school will be over! Can't wait." Ginta replied.
"Yeah then I can spend more time playing." Kouga replied as Yuji got off his chair and grabbed his backpack from the floor by the kitchen door.
"With who? The only person who's crazy enough to play with you is Yuji, and I'm sure that he's just doing it out of pity." Hakkaku replied as Kouga stomped on Hakkaku's foot hard.
"Ouch!! You little—" Kouga ran out the kitchen door, Hakkaku chasing after him.
"Bye Mr. And Mrs. Taisho. You'll be picking Yuji up, is that correct?" Ginta asked them as Touga nodded smirking in his coffee.
"Yes indeed. Behave yourself, Yuji, be safe." Touga replied.
"Bye sweetheart." Izayoi said dusting off Yuji's shirt, kissing him on the top of his head.
"Bye." Yuji replied as Ginta grabbed Yuji's hand leading him out the kitchen.
"Come on!" Kouga said to his brothers whom were talking behind him and Yuji. "I don't want to be late! I hate to be late! It's almost nine o'clock!"
"Do shut up, midget." Hakkaku replied to Kouga going back to his conversation with Ginta.
"Urgh!" Kouga fumed as Yuji rolled his eyes.
"Your brother is way much cooler than mine." Kouga replied to Yuji whom smiled sadly.
"Daddy said that he's training and won't be back for awhile." Yuji replied.
"Well, will he be back in time for your birthday?" Kouga asked him.
"I hope so, he said he had a present for me." Yuji replied shrugging his shoulders.
"That doesn't prove anything though." Kouga exclaimed looking bored as Yuji glared at him.
"I'll call him on my cell phone to prove it to you that he'll be at my birthday." Yuji exclaimed rummaging through his backpack.
"Here it is." Yuji pulled out a white chocolate phone dialing Darien's number.
"….ring…ring…" Yuji frowned.
"Maybe he's busy." Kouga replied yawning after Yuji's third failed attempt.
"Yeah, may- Darien! You answered! Wait a second, you don't sound like Darien, who is this?" Yuji asked frowning.
"InuYasha? That's a stupid name." Yuji replied as Kouga laughed.
"I'm not telling you my name! Where's my brother!" Yuji demanded.
After a few moments on the cell phone Yuji scowled hanging it up.
"Who was that? What did he say?" Kouga asked eagerly.
"He said his name was InuYasha and he said that Darien's training and won't be able to talk for awhile. Then he called me a runt and hung up on me." Kouga smirked.
"How rude." Yuji replied coming to a stop thinking about what this 'InuYasha' said to him.
"COME ON!" Kouga yelled at his brothers as they came to a crossroad.
"WE'RE COMING! SHUT UP!" Hakkaku shouted as Ginta sighed rolling his eyes hurrying towards his younger brother and his friend when he noticed that the two younger boys were outdistancing them.
They finally made it their fifteen minutes later.
"Finally! You guys are so slow! Honestly you act like there was something stuck up you a-."
Ginta hit Kouga upside his head. Not hard of course.
"Geeze you have diarrhea of the mouth. Don't be talking like that at school or granddad will kill you." Ginta snapped at him as Kouga stomped away from them fuming, Yuji by his side.
"He's five years old and he already has a nasty mouth on him. He probably gets it from you." Ginta said to Hakkaku as Hakkaku shrugged his shoulders in reply.
"Or from our other brothers, who knows. He's just like dad and granddad if you ask me. Ah, little kids among little kids. Makes me sick to my stomach." Hakkaku replied walking away along with his brother.
Dawn Feudal Era…
InuYasha was leaning up against a tree with tetsusaiga by his side; he seemed to be asleep. Airi walked over to InuYasha's side and crouched down in front of him, brushing a lock of his hair off of his face and put it behind his ear. Airi smiled to herself, how could somebody so aggravating look so cute? InuYasha's voice broke Airi out of her thoughts soon enough as if reading her mind.
"Why are you staring at me wench!?" InuYasha asked her rudely getting up, putting his sword away.
Hearing that Airi immediately fumed, pushing herself up to yell at him.
"Your the one who got lost in the freakin' forest on your own feet, running around like you lost your mind! Shouldn't you be trying to find your friends? Or have you forgotten them? And by the way my name's Airi, got it? Or is your small brain to slow to comprehend that?" Airi snapped at him walking away.
"Feh, whatever, I didn't ask for your stupid name."
Airi glared at him but didn't say anything else as InuYasha started following her.
"Stupid wench." InuYasha muttered under his breath just as Airi came to a halt.
"You're just like your brother!" Airi said pushing him as InuYasha gapped at her in shock. Of all the things he was expecting to come out her moth, that wasn't it.
"I'm nothing like that cold hearted—"
"You don't even know how to love and you think you came from up above the heavens itself. I don't know when you lost your humanity, but don't you dare treat me the way you treated your girlfriends InuYasha, I'm not the one to be messed with! No wonder you lost both Kikyo and Kagome. And I'm sure Kagome was the best you would have ever had." Airi walked away from him, InuYasha stood there a few moments rooted to the spot. Truth of his current reality slamming right smack against his face. The moment of truth said by the fox demon Airi herself.
Airi sighed and rubbed her hands together. "We're here."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "No shit."
Airi glowered. "You uptight silver-haired moron, did you want my help or not? I could have just let you wander in there in the forest for hours alone and let you get yourself killed! But nooo… I had to be considerate and get you out. Next time, I wont I assure you." Airi replied walking past InuYasha, but before Airi could walk to far ahead InuYasha grabbed her wrist then pulled her close and started kissing her.
InuYasha didn't know what he was doing but all he could taste was this moment in his mind. Airi was shocked, his kiss was so deep she secretly didn't want it to end and certain he didn't want it to either, though Airi reluctantly did ended the kiss.
InuYasha turned away looking away ashamed that he had actually kissed Airi. Airi took a deep breath smiling at InuYasha awkwardly even though InuYasha wouldn't look her in the face.
"You can try to resist and try to hide from our kiss, but you know you can't fight it now. You'll surrender your heart to me eventually, there's no escape from love InuYasha, and it's everywhere if you look the right place. You want me don't you?" Airi whispered to him.
"Feh, don't flatter yourself." InuYasha walked away from her into the castle leaving Airi to ponder InuYasha himself.
InuYasha hit his head with his fist. What was he thinking? Was he out of his mind? He just kissed Airi! He barely even knew the girl! InuYasha could hear demon servants snickering around him watching his display of shock and outrage, all of them wondering what was wrong with the half-demon. InuYasha just huffed in annoyance trying to keep himself calm. As he was walking past one of the rooms he heard a 'ringing' noise. He heard it before at Kagome's home, but how was it possible for that noise to be in the Fuedal era?
InuYasha pushed open the door to sense the familiar scent of Kagome, Shippo, and Darien. This had to be there room. Not much, there wasn't even a bed like there was in his room.
Ring… Ring… Ring…
InuYasha twitched his ears trying to find the source of the noise, which seemed to come from inside a red sleeping bag, which was half open. InuYasha walked towards the bag crouching down trying to feel his way through the sleeping bag to find the infuriating ruckus.
"What is this thing?" InuYasha finally found the black cell phone, which was still ringing. InuYasha tried to think back when he was in the future Japan with Kagome and how he saw a bunch of people walking down the streets with tiny little objects pressed against their ears, talking to the thing like it could talk back.
Ring… Ring… Ring… Ring…
InuYasha looked down at it annoyed again. Didn't he have to open it or something? InuYasha tried look where the opening was.
"Here it is! Stupid crap, why do humans use thes—"
"Yeah, may- Darien! You answered!"
"What?" InuYasha said confused putting it slowly against his ear, a few inches away really.
"Wait a second, you don't sound like Darien, who is this?" the voice said.
"This is InuYasha, who the hell are you?" InuYasha asked confused to as why a kid would be on the other end of the phone.
"InuYasha? That's a stupid name." The voice replied back, InuYasha was fuming. Who was this kid? Stupid brat.
"What the hell is your name then you little runt." InuYasha snapped back.
"I'm not telling you my name! Where's my brother!" the voice demanded as realization hit InuYasha. This kid was him, A younger him! Kagome didn't tell him that he had a reincarnation also!
"Listen, Darien is busy training and doesn't have time to talk to a little runt like you." InuYasha click the phone shut really angry. His reincarnation, he had a reincarnation that had a caring older brother that he InuYasha didn't even have. InuYasha drop the phone on the floor and walked out the room jealous and filled with bitterness.
Training…
"I can't believe you would actually do something like this to a girl!" Kagome complained, running her hands through her hair.
"It was this Sesshomaru's impression that you wanted to get better in your skill level." Sesshomaru replied as Kagome pouted.
"Yes, but I don't know anything about fighting, I'm worse than Darien I'm sure."
"We shall see now wont we? I will be fighting you—"
"What?" Kagome exclaimed. "You…how am I supposed to fightyou?!"
Sesshomaru smirked claws extended and dripping with acid. He charged at her, as Kagome stood there rooted to the spot petrified. She held her hands up to block for what was to come from Sesshomaru's attack.
Suddenly a wave of energy sent Sesshoumaru flying back; he frowned getting up as Kagome began to glow with an unearthly pink color. Some of it he recognized as miko, some came from the Shikon shards she wore around her neck, and the rest was coming from somewhere from around her neck, must be another necklace. Sesshomaru looked thoughtful, he was barely two inches away from the woman when she flared that purifying energy at him. Was it her subconscious doing it or the Shikon shards? He knew he wouldn't be able to harm her, even if he wanted to, which he didn't. The miko, no Kagome was powerful; she just needed to tap into her powers successfully consciously.
Kagome looked up after a few moments when nothing happened to her. She blushed when she saw Sesshomaru just staring at her as if contemplating her. The pink glow from Kagome was gone as soon as she had opened her eyes. Kagome felt her heart pounding painfully loud in the continued silence.
'Why wasn't he saying anything? What's he staring at?' Kagome wondered to herself trying to make herself relax. Kagome didn't know what exactly happened, she knew she had panicked, but she didn't know how she had put up a barrier like she had, she knew she had put one up even though her eyes were closed the whole entire time. She sensed it, her aurora around her, protecting herself. Maybe it was just instinct?
Sesshomaru reached from his back pulling out a sword sheathed with what look liked a moon crescent on the front of it. It looked pretty old and rusted. He slowly walked towards Kagome with an air of confidence, the sword by his side. When he was at least five inches from Kagome he held the sword out, the hilt towards Kagome.
"This sword is very dangerous, very much like Tokijin. It wont let just anybody touch it, you have to be able to conquer its power." Sesshomaru exclaimed as Kagome looked nervously down at the sword, which looked just like InuYasha's sword when it wasn't in full form.
"How can you touch it then?" Kagome asked him.
Sesshomaru frowned. "The sword is blood related, 'The sword of Ginkaiga', silver sea. It was my mothers."
"And you're giving it to me?" Kagome asked him shocked as Sesshomaru just stared at her putting the sword to his side.
"This Sesshomaru knows that this sword has a purpose in life which I'm sure its purpose is to be served by you. Ginkaiga; hasn't always been in the family, it was once in the service of a legendary miko by the name of Mordiriko. This sword has the power of a miko's strength and power, but was won, taken, from the miko Mordiriko after her death, by what demon I'm not sure, but it came to be in the Taisho's family. It had long since lost its powers of a miko's and became demonic. Now it's to be yours, that is if you can master it, handle it's power." Sesshomaru once again held out the sword towards Kagome.
"What if I can't master it? What if it takes me over?" Kagome asked nervously as Sesshomaru looked at her comically.
"Do not be absurd, you are wasting this Sesshomaru's valuable time." Sesshomaru replied actually 'sighing' like Kagome was really boring him. Kagome fumed feeling insulted. Sesshomaru inwardly grinned as Kagome stock her hand out and touched the hilt of the sword 'Ginkaiga'. Kagome screamed as she felt like she was being electrocuted…
To be continued…
(A/N This is the last chapter, Bye! Joking! Joking! I was joking! Don't be mad!)
"Your not concentrating Kagome." Kagome heard Sesshomaru say from what sounded far away.
'How can I concentrate when I'm in so much pain? Well if I'm in so much pain how could I have thought that? I'm I talking to myself? I've gone insane! The pain was so unbearable that I've gone insane! That's just great! Great! What is Darien going to say? He'll probably be disappointed in me, why can't I concentrate on the sword? I need to--'
"Kagome, open your eyes."
'What? My eyes are open aren't they?' Kagome opened them. 'Oh… they weren't.'
Kagome was breathing hard as if she had run a mile. Both of her hands where clamped hard on the hilt of the sword which electric sparks were surrounding her hands and the sword itself was glowing with a mixture of pink and black. Half of her felt miko energy from the sword while she felt the other half of demonic energy from the sword. Kagome then realized that she didn't feel any pain from the sword anymore. It was gone as soon as it came.
"What do I do now?" Kagome asked Sesshomaru as he tried to resist the urge to roll his eyes.
"Surely you are a miko are you not? If this Sesshomaru was a miko I would try to purify it to its rightful miko power as most miko's would do."
Kagome glared at him for his sarcastic remark before turning her attention back to the sword. She breathed in evenly and tried to gather the miko energy that was inside her and put it inside the sword. She felt a course of energy being surge through her body towards her hands where as it was glowing bright pink shooting forth purification powers onto the sword, diminishing the black aurora that was once on the sword, but was nothing but miko energy.
"I did it! I did it! I did it!" Kagome said jumping up and down as her sword flashed brightly in the afternoon sun. It wasn't a fang or anything like that; it was almost like a sword that a samurai would have. Sesshomaru walked towards her smirking shaking his head in amusement. Kagome was truly something special. Sesshomaru had been with different kind of girls soullessly, but none of them at all were like Kagome. He didn't know what was wrong with him lately, his mind kept somehow thinking of her.
"This is how you hold it." He corrected her grip, touching her hands. Kagome was blushing the whole entire time. What was it about Sesshomaru that made her blush so much? She blushed with Darien, but that was only because she didn't know him and the fact that she knew that he was Sesshomaru's reincarnation. Sesshomaru grinned inwardly listening to Kagome's heartbeat go faster than usual. Was he really having an affect on her?
'It won't be too long till you're in my arms Kagome.'
Sesshomaru was showing Kagome the basic blocks and strikes with her sword Ginkaiga against Sesshomaru's sword Tokijin the rest of that afternoon.
Kagome walked into the room that Sesshomaru proved for her, Darien, and Shippo and took her sword off her waist, putting it against the wall, then laid flat on her sleeping bag as soon as she saw it. Darien looked towards her from his laptop on the wooden floor and put his hand into a bowl of chips.
"Back so soon?"
Kagome threw her pillow at him.
"Nice sword."
"Ginkaiga." Kagome murmured sleepily.
"Hmm…" Darien replied going back to his typing on his laptop. "When I get my sword I think I'm gonna name it Kigatsuyoi, what do you think Kagome?"
All Darien heard from Kagome was her snoring.
"Well I like the name."
