A New Beginning
(Chapter 25)
A Little Half Demon
Last time:
Kagome was freed but has a spell out on her. Also Mika now has a adoptive daughter Sakura! What will happen now?
On With the Chapter:
Mika was laughing nervously not knowing how to explain this. "Mika since when did you have a kid!" Tora yelled
"She's my adoptive kid numbskull." Mika said hitting her in the head.
"Yeah since when?" Iva asked
"Few hours ago." Mika said
"Ok what the heck happened while we weren't around." Kimsune asked
"I saved her ok she will tell you guys her story when she's ready." Mika said
"Ok whatever you say." Shadow said. Shippo, Sango, Kohaku, and Miroku were kinda well quiet at the time. Sakura was still trying to hide and she was shaking a little.
"Its ok Sakura no one is going to hurt you." Mika said patting her back.
"Yeah its ok kid we won't hurt ya." Iva said
"Yeah any friend I mean kid of Mika's is part of our group." Tora said. Sakura kinda got a little less afraid but not by much.
"We might be half demons but we aren't heartless." Kimsune said. Mika hit her in the back of the head. Sakura was not trying to hide anymore but she was still scared.
"Hey Mika shouldn't we find her parents?" Shadow asked. Sakura let out a small squeak and tried to hide again.
"Not a option. Hey Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kohaku you guys ok you seem kinda quiet." Mika said
"We're fine just kinda surprised is all." Sango said
"Figured you would be. Well ok ya guys Im taking Sakura to the hot springs when Inuyasha and Kagome get back were going toher time." Mika said standing up and walked off. When they were gone Sango got up grabbed a few of Kagome's bathing supplies and the fist aid kit and went after her. "Ok that was weird." Kohaku said
"You haven't seen weird yet." Tora said
"I wonder what happen to the kid she had a lot of cuts and bruises." Kimsune said
"Mika said she would tell us when everything was ok." Iva said
"Yeah I'm sure Sango will find out." Miroku said
"Who knows what's going to happen anymore." shippo said
"You got that right." Tora said. Shadow, Kiba, and Tsume went running in the same direction as Sango went and so did Kirara.
(With Mika and Sakura)
They got to the hot springs and Mika made sure demons weren't around. "Mommy you coming in to?" Sakura asked
"Not this time your the one that needs to get cleaned up."
"Ok"
"Lets unwrap your leg first." Mika said when she got near enough a blue light came from her hand. It was gone just as quick. "What the heck?"
"Mommy you healed my leg." Sakura said hugging her.
"So that's what it was. I guess I can control my miko powers some what." she said to herself. "Ok get into the hot springs little girl you gave to get those wounds cleaned up some how." Mika laughed. Sakura got in and winced a little.
"You ok Sakura?" Mika asked
"It hurts a little." she said
"Oh well don't worry it will be fine." Mika said she got the cloth she grabbed before she left so she could get the dirt and stuff off of Sakura. "Tell me if I hit some were that hurts ok." Mika said
"Ok." Mika started getting the stuff off oh her face only to see she had more cuts and bruises then she thought. "Sakura tell me what your father did to you." Mika said
"Well if I did something wrong he would hit and punch me. Sometimes he did hurt me I didn't even know what I did." she said sadly. "She seems to act older then she is I think she really is a hanyou." Mika thought. She got to her neck the was a bruise that went all the was around and what looked like claws marks. "How did you get these?" Mika asked
"I tried to run away and he caught me."
"That bastered!" Mika yelled in her head. She got Sakura cleaned up and discovered many cuts, bruises, and scars. Sakura was slashing Mika and Mika was shacking off the water like a dog. (Hehehehe funny)
"Mommy your funny." Sakura laughed
"Her Mika!" Sango yelled
"Oh hey Sango what are you doing here?" Mika asked
"Thought you might want to use these." Sango said handing her a bottle of hair soap and a towel.
"Thanks Sango. Hey Sakura come here." Mika said and Sakura swam over to the edge. Mika started to wash her hair.
"Hey Sango what are you doing out here?" Mika asked
"Thought you might need some help. Oh yeah and im not the only one that came." Sango laughed as Kiba, Tsume, and Shadow came.
"Yeah and help with what?"
"Help you take care of Sakura."
"I could do that myself." she said
"I know but you need to close up her injures." Sango said
"Yeah. Hey Sakura go under water for a minute." Mika said. Sakura did and came back up right away. Her hair was a lot longer then it looked before. "Ok get out of there now." Mika laughed getting her up and wrapping a towel around her. Then Kirara came running and jumped in Sango's shoulder. "Hey Kirara." Mika said
"Mommy will the wolves hurt me?" Sakura asked
"No they are nice wolves aren't you." Mika said. Kiba and Tsume came over and licked Sakura's face. She started laughing.
"See there just over grown puppies." Mika laughed. Kiba and Tsume were acting like playful puppies. "Ok lets get your cut covered up." Mika said
"Ok."
"Hi Sakura Im Sango." Sango said
"Hi."Sakura said
"I will go get some herbs Sango watch Sakura." Mika said but before she went off Sakura stopped her. "Its ok Sakura I will be right back you can stay with Sango." Mika said
"OK mommy." she said and Mika was off.
"So Sakura why did you run away?" Sango asked
"My dad hurt me." she said sadly wrapping the towel tightly around her.
"What? Why?" Shadow asked
"I never knew why so I ran away." she said. Kirara jumped off Sango's shoulder and went over to Sakura. "Mew." Kirara said and started purring.
"Aww you're a cute kitty." Sakura said picking her up.
"That's Kirara and it looks like she likes you." Sango said sitting next to her.
"Hey Im back." Mika said she had a handful of different herbs with her.
"How do you know what herbs to use?" Sango asked
"When you live on your own you learn. OK lets heal these things." Mika said walking over to Sakura. Sango gave her the bandages. She put some herbs on Sakura's neck and wrapped in up. She covered up the few scathes on her face. Then she put some healing herbs on the cuts on her sides, stomach, and chest. She wrapped Sakura up from her chest down to her waist. She also wrapped up the small gash on her leg and the other small cuts on her legs. Sakura got her clothes on and was running around again. She hugged Sango and then tackled Mika. "I see your feeling better." Mika laughed
"Yeah I am thanks for helping me mommy." Sakura said
"What kind of mom would I be if I didn't. Want me to put your hair up like mine?" Mika asked
"Yeah." Sakura said and sat in front of Mika. She put her hair up in a low pony tail and she was up and running around again.
"I think she's happy you came along." Sango said
"Yeah I feel bad for her well now she's going to have a childhood her father isn't getting her back." Mika said
"Yeah all those injures and she so young." Sango said sadly.
"I'm going to take care of her now." Mika said. Sakura was playing with Kirara, Shadow, Kiba, and Tsume.
"Yeah well I'm going to take her to a field to play for a while I will meet you back at the village before sun down." Mika said standing up.
"Ok Mika see you then." Sango said grabbing Kagome's stuff and leaving. Sakura was on Kiba's back and he was running around.
"Hey come on you guys lets go to the clearing you can ran around much easier there." Mika said walking in that direction. Kiba was walking next to Mika and he had Sakura on his back. Shadow was on her shoulder and so was Kirara and Tsume was on her other side.
"Sakura you feeling better?" Mika asked
"Yeah I am." she said scratching Kiba behind the ear. They got to the clearing and the wolves, Shadow, Kirara, and Sakura started to play. Mika sat down against a tree. The clearing was near a road to another village but you couldn't see it to clearly and barely anyone went down it. She smelt her dad and fluffy coming her way. "Hey fluffy dad what are you doing around here?" Mika asked with her eyes closed.
"Come and check on you." her dad said coming out of the forest.
"I lived on my own for my whole life I can handle myself." she said
"Yeah but can you handle having a daughter?" her father asked
"How did you know about Sakura?" Mika asked
"How do you think?" Sesshoumaru said
"Never mind. So want to meet your new family member and your granddaughter." Mika laughed
"She's not really your pup Mika." Inutaiso said
"Im not letting her go back to her bastered father." Mika growled
"We know that Mika." Sesshoumaru said
"You want to make her part of the family?" Inutaiso asked
"Yeah." Mika said
"Well tell her to come here."
"Ok let me get her." Mika said standing up. Sakura was still playing with Tsume now she saw Mika coming. "Hi mommy." Sakura said happily.
"Hi Sakura do you want to meet my dad and brother?" Mika asked
"You have dad?" she asked
"Yeah they are going to make you part of the family." Mika said
"Ok come on you don't have to worry about him he's nice." Mika said
"What is your brother like?"
"He doesn't talk much. He doesn't bite though." Mika said jokingly.
"Is he the one that helped save me?"
"Yeah. Now lets go."
"Ok mommy." she was riding Tsume now and Kiba was close by. Shadow was back on Mika's should and so was Kirara.
"Hey dad we're back." Mika said not seeing them.
"We're right here Mika." Sesshoumaru said
"You all was have to hide in shadows?" Mika asked
"Do I really have to answer that."
"Good point hey see you brought Rin with you." Mika said seeing the other small girl hiding behind Sesshoumaru. "Its ok Rin they aren't wolves they're big dogs." Mika lied
"Are you sure?" Rin asked
"Yes I'm sure."
"What are you talking about fool those are..." Jaken couldn't finish until Sesshoumaru hit him on the head.
"That's what you get toad boy." Mika laughed
"Shut up wench." he yelled
"I swear you call me that one more time Im going to knock you into next week!" Mika yelled
"Did you two forget why we are here?" Inutaiso asked
"Oh yeah. Sakura this is my dad Inutaiso and my brother Sesshoumaru or fluffy for short." Mika said
"Hi." Sakura said quietly.
"It's ok little one we won't hurt you." Inutaiso said kneeling down to meet her at eye level. He picked her up and hugged her. "Ok weird!" Mika thought.
"So you want to part of the clan Sakura." Inutaiso asked
"Yeah I do." she said smiling.
"Then as lord of the western lands and lord of the Inu clan you are now part of our family and clan." he said and put his finger in the middle of her forehead and the crescent moon appeared and all her injures were gone the only things that were left were scars.
"Well now you are part of our clan and blood line." Sesshoumaru said
"Yay! Another friend." Rin said
"Great a now a human to." Jaken said. Mika hit him in the back of his head.
"Tell me Mika have you told Inuyasha yet?" Sesshoumaru asked as his dad handed him Sakura.
"No I haven't. He will find out soon enough." Mika said. Sesshoumaru put Sakura down. She went over to Mika.
"We should be leaving now we will be at the village in a few days." Inutaiso said and walked away as did Sesshoumaru and Rin.
"Thanks you guys." Mika said and they left.
"Your daddy is nice." Sakura said
"Yeah I guess why don't you go play some more I we have to leave before sun down." Mika said
"Ok mommy." Sakura said and they ran off again. Mika sat against the tree again and fell into a light sleep so she could hear and caught anything that gets close to Sakura.
(30 minutes later) (10-15 minutes before sun down)
Sakura had tons of energy to burn since her first 4 years of life was spent getting beat and stuck in the house. All of a sudden Kirara hisses at the path ahead of her. "What's wrong Kirara?" Sakura asked
Kirara's fur stood on end and she transformed. Shadow was staying by Sakura. Kirara growled something to Tsume and he ran to go get Mika. "What's going on?" Sakura asked getting worried.
"Your father is coming." Shadow growled. Sakura fell back and started crying. "No not him again he's going to take me away!" she cried
"Its ok he's not going to take you away." Shadow said
Tsume was running over to were Mika was. He saw her ahead and picked up speed. He got to her and woke her up by pulling on her arm. "Tsume what's wrong?" Mika asked he started barking something and she understood it! "Oh shit come on lets go." Mika said running to were Tsume lead her. It didn't take long before they got to were Sakura was. "Mommy! Please don't let him take me again." she cried holding on to her leg for what seemed dear life and in her case it was right now. "Don't worry your not going with him your staying with me." she said.
"He's coming."Shadow growled
"You guys you can't hurt human remember." Mika said
"Im making a exception this time." Shadow growled and Kirara shook her head to say the same. Kiba and Tsume were ready to kill or at least beat the guy close to death. They eyes were glowing red but they didn't transform. They heard someone coming Mika had an emotionless look on her face her fist clenched almost drawing blood. When a very angry voice came.
"Were are you bitch! I know you're here!" he yelled. Sakura's grip on Mika's leg tightened. He come threw to the clearing he had short brown hair very big with pretty big arms. He had muscle and looked like a demon and acted like one in Mika's mind.
"Hand over the kid!"he yelled
"I don't think so you bastered." Mika spat.
"What are you doing protecting that thing! She's my daughter and she's going back to were she belongs!" he yelled
"She isn't going back with you. She isn't going to get beaten by you. For hell sure she isn't going to get hurt anymore by you." Mika growled
"What are you going to do about it! You're a weak pathetic girl no man could kill me for hell sure you can't." he laughed
Mika smirked slightly and started laughing. "What are you laughing at?"
"You are a moron! I am more powerful then you will ever be and if you haven't noticed Im a half demon." she laughed "Shadow, Kirara, Kiba, Tsume step back I can handle this. Sakura stay with Kirara."
They moved over to the edge of the clearing with Sakura on Kirara's back. "You want Sakura back you are going to have to kill me to do it." Mika growled.
"I will kill you. Your just like her a freak." he said and fake Iron claws were on his hands.
"Your not even going to hit me bastered." she laughed. He ran toward her she just stood there arms crossed. He was about to attack she jumped and jumped off the fake claws and kicked him in the back sending him into the ground. "Bitch." he mumbled
"Bring on loser." Mika said. He shot back up and was running for her again he kept on trying to punch her but he kept on missing. He got her one and she got a small scratch on the side of her face. She punched him in the gut and then elbowed him in the back. He was down and couldn't get up.
"If you want to live then leave now and leave Sakura alone." Mika said flexing her claws.
"I will not lose to you." he said
"Your choice buddy." Mika said. He got up again. "Im ending this now." Mika said running towards him she jumped off his back and was 15 feet in the air. "This is for Sakura. SHADOW RAZOR!" Mika yelled. He died on impact the attack left a 10 foot deep crater and the guys body was gone. She landed easy and walked over to Sakura and the others like nothing happened. Shadow, Kirara, Kiba and Tsume say that as normal but Sakura didn't.
"Wow that was so cool mom!" Sakura yelled
"That was nothing."
"Can you teach me to fight like that?" Sakura asked
"Yeah sure."
"YAY! How did you learn to fight like that?"
"I was on my own since I was little I just kinda learned." Mika said walking off noticing in was almost sun down.
"Were we going mommy?"
"Back to the village we have to go some were remember." Mika said
"Oh why. Im so glad I don't have to worry about my father anymore." Sakura said hugging Mika around the neck.
"Well Im happy you don't have to worry anymore." Mika said. She let go of Mika and was on Kirara who was still transformed. They were half way there when Sakura thought of something.
"Mommy since my father isn't around anymore can I take off this locket now?" Sakura asked
"I think that's a good idea." Mika said. She got off Kirara her hands were kinda shaking.
"What's wrong Sakura?" Mika asked
"Im scared."
"Of what?"
"What if I turn into something that's why my father never let me take it off."
"You won't turn into anything bad Im sure of it." Mika said putting a hand on her shoulder. She took off the necklace and nothing happened at first. Then the wind picked up it swirled around Sakura. Mika back up a little Sakura eyes closed. She dropped the locket and started transforming. (Ok try to guess right here what kinda of half demon is she? Cat, Dog, or other)
She got a little taller but not much she now had claws they were sharper then Mika's and a little longer. She also had fangs from what Mika saw one poked out from her top lip. Her was you a little longer and now had purple streaks. Now she had what seemed like cat or dog ears they were different from Mika's they were slightly bigger then hers were at her age. She opened her eyes and now they were emerald green. The wind died down and Sakura collapsed Mika caught her before she fell. "I guess I was right." Mika said picking her up.
"She's a half cat demon." Shadow said
"What how do you know?" Mika asked
"Lets just say I know these things." Shadow said
"How are you going to prove that?"
"She will understand Kirara if she is a half cat demon." Shadow said
"We will find out later I guess." Mika said
"Yes we shall." Shadow said
"What you want to make a bet kitty?" Mika laughed
"I like the sound of that. If I win you get me this biggest fish you can find." Shadow said
"And what if I win you are going to have to let the little kids play with you." Mika said knowing Shadow hated getting her tails pulled by little kids.
"Deal."
Kirara rolled her eyes and so did the wolves. They new who was going to win already. Sakura started to come around and Mika stopped. "I see your waking up." Mika said
"Mommy what happened?" Sakura asked
"I can show you." Mika said
"Ok" she said. Mika carried her over to the near by river. "Mommy do I look any different?" Sakura asked
"You will always be the same to me." Mika said
They got to the stream Mika put her 5 feet away from it. "Go ahead and look at yourself." Mika said. She walked to the stream slowly and looked at herself. Her black ears started twitching and she looked at her claws. She was totally excited!
"Mommy Im just like you!" She yelled and jumped up and down.
"Well not really we think you might be a half cat demon." Shadow said
"Really?" she asked
"Yeah lets see if you can understand Kirara." Mika said Sakura looked over at Kirara. The small neko just mewed no one besides Shadow and maybe Sakura understood her.
"I can understand her a little bit." Sakura said
"All great now I have to caught a fish." Mika thought.
"Yep I guess you are a half cat demon. That explains the ears and claws." Mika said
"You going to pay up." Shadow whispered
"Feh ok Sakura lets get going." Mika said
"Ok mommy."
Kiba started nudging her arm. "What is it Kiba?" Sakura asked
He put the locket in her hand. "Kiba's right when we go back to Kagome's time you will need to look human." Mika said
"Mika you understand them?" Shadow asked
"Yeah I do." Mika said
"Must be because they have your blood within them." Shadow said
"Yeah I guess." Mika said
"Mommy why do you keep on saying "back to Kagome's time" ?" Sakura asked
"Well Kagome is from a different time like 500 years in the future." Mika said
"What?"
"She lives 500 years in the future the old bone eaters well lets us get through to her time." Mika said
"Wow I can't wait to go!" Sakura said happily
"Yeah its going to be easier for you since your going to be human there." Mika said
"Why do I have to look human?" she asked
"Well in her time demons don't exist anymore." Mika said
"How are you going to look human mom?"
"I have my ways. Hey Sakura want to see me in my full demon form?"
"Yeah sure!"
Mika said the word to activate the necklace and she went into her full demon form. "There so what do ya think?" Mika asked
"You have a tail!" she squealed and she started chasing it like a kitten. "(anime sweat droop) yeah I do." Mika said kinda confused. The wolves were looking at her confused.
She transformed back to normal and Sakura started attacking like normal. "Ok I guess you have a lot of energy don't ya." Mika said
"Yeah."
"Hey we're almost back at the village." Shadow said
"Good its sundown." Mika said. Sakura ran ahead at pretty fast speed.
"'Ok we have to get her to settle down." Mika said "Shadow you had kids what do you do?"
"Let them play until they got to tried."
"Yeah did you have one that has had they're energy build up for 4 years?"
"No."
"Oh boy." Mika said "Hey Sakura wait up!"
She stopped and looked back. Mika got to were she was and she took off again. "Ok Im getting Kaede to make a necklace for her." Mika said
"Good idea." Shadow said. The wolves ran to caught up and so did Kirara. Mika ran the rest of the way. "Sakura were did you go!" Mika yelled
"Im right here mom." She said from a tree she jumped and landed on Mika. "Sorry mommy."
"Its ok now lets go." Mika said getting up. They walked the rest of the way there. "Hey guys I'm back." Mika said
"Its about time."
"Inuyasha when did you get here?" Mika asked
"We just did." Kagome said
"I thought you said sun down it isn't sun down yet."
"Feh"
"Hey Mika who's the little girl?" Kagome asked walking over.
"This is Sakura. She's a half cat demon which I just learned." Mika said
"Hi Sakura Im Kagome."
"Hi."
"How sis she end you following you?" Inuyasha asked
"I saved her on the way back to the village fluffy helped me out." Mika said
Inuyasha jumped from the tree he was in and walked over. "Oh yeah Inuyasha warning dad and fluffy made her part of our family." Mika said "Oh yeah another think you even think of picking on her like you do Shippo you will feel pain." Mika warned
"Who said I was?" he yelled
"I know you." she said
"You have only been around for a month!"
"So I still know you." she laughed
"Mika aren't you forgetting something?" Shadow asked
"Oh yeah Sakura is now my adoptive daughter. Now are we going or not?" Mika said walking off Sakura close behind. Kagome caught up with them. Kagome picked Sakura up. "Sakura how did you get those scars?" Kagome asked
"My daddy did that to me. But mommy killed him." She said
"Really?"
"Yeah I did. The guy beat her and came looking for her. She ran away from home because of him." Mika said
"Well your going to have a better life now kid." Inuyasha said coming behind them.
"Hey bro thought we lost you." Mika said
"Feh."
"Hey Mika your back." Tora said "Wow what happen to you Sakura?"
"We found out she was a half cat demon." Mika said
"Cool well everybody is ready to go so lets go." Tora said
"You guys go ahead I have to ask Kaede something." Mika said
"Ok mommy." Sakura said
"Hurry up." Inuyasha said
"Yeah, yeah I heard you." Mika said and they went ahead. When they were out of sight Mika went to see Kaede. She got to her hut and went in. "Hey Kaede could I ask you for a favor?" Mika asked
"What is it?"
"I need you to make a necklace for Sakura she gets a little to much energy and well I need something to keep her from going hey wire. But could you make it were she doesn't go crashing to the ground but kinda like makes her float or something?" Mika asked
"Why is the young child a half demon like ye suspected?"
"Yeah she is she a half cat demon."
"I will see what I can do."
"Thanks Kaede see you in a few days." Mika said running out.
Mika ran all the way to the well and got there just as the others were. "Hey are we going or not." Mika asked
"We were just waiting for you." Iva said
"Ok then lets go." Inuyasha said grabbing Kagome's hand and jumped in. "Ok Kohaku, Iva, Tora, Sakura, Kimsune this time will be different if Kagome didn't already told you." Mika said
"Yeah she told us." Kohaku said
"Ok then go ahead you guys I will go last." She said
"OK if your sure." Sango said.
"Yeah now go."
Sango, Miroku, Kohaku, and Kirara jumped in. The wolves and Shadow went and then Iva and Tora. Mika, Sakura, Shippo, and Kimsune were left. "Ok you guys lets go." Mika said and they all jumped in at the same time all getting transported to the future.
