Impossibility
Kagami Finds Out That Her Father is Famous... and a Little Something Else, Too!
Chapter One
A cool summer breeze hummed past Raidon's elf-like ears. It stirred the tree leaves, and flowed over the grass, making the plain look like wavering water. It was a beautiful summer day, the sun shining grandly and birds singing in every tree. Raidon himself lay lazily across the branch of one, waiting for Kagami. Smiling, he touched a golden butterfly that was flying with the wind.
Looking down, he watching a small animal hop through the grass searching for something. Raidon sighed, and wished he was as free as that animal. His father kept him caged up like an animal, restricted and demeaned. The only person that Sesshoumaru really loved and cared about, and showed his affection to was Raidon's mother, Rin. Rin showed an ever-lasting affect on Sesshoumaru, ever since they had met. Rin often told her son stories about her childhood, how she grew up and found her life long mate, and also of her mate's fierce half-brother. Sesshoumaru, however, barely spoke to Raidon and gave him no attention or affection. And now, after all his life, Raidon didn't expect any.
Well, now you've done it, Raidon thought. You've gotten yourself depressed again. Any minute now Kagami will come along and start worrying about you... like she does all the time.
Sighing, he smoothed out his black and cream kimono. It's sleeves extended to his middle finger, making a point, and over them were larger sleeves that ended at his elbow. He also had on cream vest, which (he thought) almost made him look like a ninja. The kimono had been a gift from his father after he had been born. It was the only gift from Sesshoumaru that Raidon always kept near to him and really loved. The slipper-like shoes Raidon wore were a gift from his mother, and they too were cream-colored.
Hopping down from the tree that the half-demon was sitting on, Raidon walked over to a near-by spring, and looked into the clear water. His face. His hair was black like his mother's, but his face resembled his father's, which was a major disappointment to him. He trailed his fingers down his right jawbone, where three stripes lay, identical to the ones on his left jawbone.
A far off noise distracted him right then. His ears perked up, and his black tail swished predatorily. He heard it again, and realized it was a human voice, but very familiar. Perhaps it was Kagami finally arrived.
Raidon's yellow eyes glinted with pleasure, and he flew off to meet her.

"Raidon?" Kagami crawled out of the well, looking around. She did not find her demon friend, which was strange since he was always there to meet her.
"Raaai~ don!" She yelled. "Where is he?" Huffing from annoyance, Kagami walked south. She didn't know these wooded areas very well, since Raidon had always carried her on his back while he flew off to other areas. When they were younger, they always explored around. Once he had taken her to his father's Western Plains, which Sesshoumaru ruled. Sesshoumaru had almost caught her, too. But it seemed that he decided to leave Raidon alone. Surprisingly. She had never met the demon lord, but had only seen him that one day from behind a tree.
"Helllooo?" Kagami called out again. She sighed, sorely disappointed. Hoping Raidon wasn't in trouble, she thought it best to just keep looking for him.
A twig snapped behind her.
She whipped around. "Hey! Who's there, come out right now! If that's you, Raidon, you're dead meat, demon or not!"
A hand lightly touched her shoulder, and then pressed harder on it.

Raidon heard a blood-curling scream tear through the forest woods, ringing in his ears. It sounded like Kagami, and it came from the west. Flying off as fast as he could, Raidon knew he was coming closer to her. He bounced off a treetop and soared into the sky, then dropped lower swerving through the trees. Finally he smelt Kagami just a few yards away and plummeted to ground, running the rest of the way. He called out her name, "Kagami!!"
"Raidon!" She shrieked. "Help me!"
"Calm down!" an unfamiliar voice said. "I'm not going to hurt you! Hell, I'm not even hurting you!"
"Eeeee! Let go of me, you pervert!" A sound of flesh meeting flesh was herd. In this case, it was Kagami's hand against the stranger's face. Finally he saw her. Her `attacker' was sprawled on the ground, holding his face. That was definitely some slap Kagami had served him, but she had always been exceptionally strong (for a human).
"Kagami, are you all right?" He put an arm around her.
"I, uh, guess I'm okay. But he isn't gonna be-" she pointed to the other person "-in just a few minutes!"
"Kagami, let's take this calmly. He probably isn't here to hurt us, anyway," He said coolly.
"Take it calmly?" Her voice rised with anger. "He attacked me, Raidon! Whose side are you on, anyway?"
Raidon rolled his eyes. "Excuse me, sir, my friend here is a little high-strung. What's your name, and why did you attack her?" He addressed the fallen figure.
"My name," he sighed, "is Kazuo, and I did not attack her! I was just going to ask her what she was doing around here. You don't see very many people in this forest."
He finally took his hands from his face as he was speaking, and Kagami saw that he was about her and Raidon's age. He had brownish hair that he tied into a short ponytail and his clothes were a bit strange; he wore a peasant's kimono with a long vest, and pieces of clothe were wrapped around his feet, held together by sandals. A large pair of twin boomerangs were strapped against his back, with tassels hanging on either end. A small gold ring adorned his right ear. Overall, he seemed like a humorous fellow.
"My name is Raidon, son of Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western Plains. This is my good friend Kagami," said Raidon.
Kazuo grinned. "Sesshoumaru, hmm? My parents told me stories of him when I was a young boy. They weren't exactly good, either. I suppose you're nothing like him, though, are you?"
Raidon narrowed his eyebrows. "No," he said evenly, "I'm not a thing like my father. And I don't wish to be. Who are your parents, might I ask?"
"Lord Miroku is my father, and Sango is my demon exterminating mother. Though she's partly retired, I might add."
"I've also heard stories of your father," Raidon said. "I've heard he's a pervert and a deceitful monk."
Kazuo glared at him. Raidon returned the glare, but with a slight ironic grin. Kagami looked nervously between the two, feeling tension amid them.
"Uhh... " She contemplated, not sure of what she could say to obliterate the immediate conflict. "Soo, Kaz! Where ya from? What brings you here?"
Kazuo and Raidon looked at her simultaneously, both raising their eyebrows. "I'm from that way." He pointed south. "I'm here gathering herbs for my mother, and also looking to see if there's any demon near here that might put my village in danger. What about you, girl?"
"I'm not a girl, and I'm from... umm... Tokyo."
Kazuo frowned. "I've not heard of this... Tokyo. Where is it?"
"Near the bone-eater's well," Raidon replied, to which Kagami elbowed him for.
"The bone-eater's well? How... interesting." Smiling, Kazuo finally stood up. "I'm sorry for frightening you, Kagami, I honestly did not mean to. Why don't you come back to my village, and I'll make you some breakfast as an apology?"
Kagami's expression softened a bit, and she too smiled. Raidon, however, did not in the least bit smile. "Well, if it's all right with your fellow villages that a demon's going to be there."
Kazuo laughed. His laugh was like his manner- loud but pleasant and most surely carefree. "Oh no, they certainly won't mind. You see, our village is even protected by a demon! He's full-blooded, too, unlike you Raidon (no offense). His name is Shippou-san, and he's greatly loved by us. He can be a little hot-tempered sometimes, but otherwise he's a very loving and good-hearted being. It's because humans raised him when he was still a child, and one of the humans was my father. He evens lives in my home.
"Not to mention, my mother keeps a demon as a sort of pet. Her name is Kirara. The demon, I mean. I also keep Kirara's pup, you know. Well, well, there I go again talking too much... It's a habit that I can't rid myself of. So then, would you like to come? My parents would be happy to have you, I'm sure."
Kagami liked Kazuo's way of talking: formal yet cordial, and old-fashioned. She turned to Raidon. "Well?" she said, "how about it?"
Raidon shrugged. "It's fine with me."
I
"Hullo there! I'm back!" Kazuo yelled to a man, dressed like a monk, ahead of him. He walked up to the older man, who had a long, black ponytail. Kagami noticed they looked very much like each other. It was obviously Kazuo's father.
"Father, this young lady is Kagami, and her friend there is Raidon. They're okay, and I invited them for some breakfast, is that all right? Oh yes, and I found the herbs for Mother," Kazuo said.
"My name is Miroku," said Miroku. "And you're very welcome here."
It was strange, seeing Kazuo and Miroku standing side-by-side smiling the same smile, which was a bit creepy considering they looked very much alike. However, Kagami smiled back while Raidon wondered if he should follow her example.
"Come on, let's go have lunch. Mother is bound to have it ready by now," said Kazuo.
"A-all right," Kagami said.
Miroku and Kazuo led them through the village, going back villages who were either women working in their houses or taking care of children, or men working in crops. They passed by ratty-looking huts, and came across one that didn't look so bad, which happened to be Kazuo's home. A woman with long, flowing black hair who looked in particular good shape walked out to greet Miroku and Kazuo.
"Mother! Here are your herbs. Oh yes, and I've brought some visitors. They were in the forest... " He said the last line deliberately quiet, in a sort of cryptic manner.
"Oh!" The woman looked Raidon and Kagami over. "Well, hello there. You're certainly welcome here, and do come in!"
The half-demon and the futuristic girl did so, and were welcomed by bowls of rice, cooked fish, and some sort of green plant. It looked delicious, and looks proved to be correct. Raidon and Kagami complimented Kazuo's mother, whose name was Sango, and she thanked them politely.
"You know, Kagami, you remind me of someone," Sango told her.
"Do I?"
"Yes, I knew the girl a long time ago, when I was young. She was very nice, but I haven't seen her since Miroku and me have gotten married."
"Really? How come?" Kagami asked.
Miroku and Sango shot each other mutual looks. "We-ell... " Sango scratched her head. "You see, um... long story. Don't ask."
Kagami shrugged, and didn't ask any further.
At that moment, a rather tall, handsome demon walked inside. He was grinning pleasantly, and looked friendly. He had long, reddish hair in a ponytail, a furry vest and a blue kimono with leaves on it and purple slacks. He walked barefoot and had a large bushy tail.
"I'm back!" He said to Sango. "How's everything? Eh, who're these kids?"
"Hello, Shippou!" Sango smiled. "Just in time for food as always, hmm? This is Kagami and Raidon, two friends of Kazuo."
"Hiya!" Shippou smiled at them. He walked over, and plopped down next to Kagami. "I'm Shippou. What brings you here?"
"Not much, really. We two visit every month, and we usually meet around here. I- hey, what are you doing?"
Shippou had started to sniff Kagami on her arm, and then rose to her face. Kagami crawled away in shock, and Sango exclaimed: "Shippou, what are you doing!"
"She smells!" Shippou exclaimed excitedly.
"So, you smell too! Stop doing that, you're scaring her!"
"He's not scaring me," Kagami said, "he's freakin' me out!"
Shippou then stopped sniffing her, but only because Raidon had reached across and snatched the other demon's nose. "Will you please stop that!" he said. All was silent.
"Sorry... " Shippou said sheepishly. "But she smells... well, like you-know-who!" He said to Sango.
"Who's you-know-who?" Kagami asked.
"The girl I was saying that you reminded me of, remember?" Sango answered. "You know, Shippou, I didn't notice until now... but her clothes are very strange."
"You mean," he replied, "you didn't even notice?"
"W-ell, not exactly."
"What about her clothes?" Kazuo asked.
Shippou scratched his head, sighing. "You know, I could expect this out of Kazuo, certainly, but not you, Sango!"
"I never noticed her clothes, either," Miroku said.
"Probably because you were too busy staring at her chest... "
"Miroku!" Sango said sharply.
"I was NOT staring at her chest!" He exclaimed to his wife.
"Father, how could you betray mother like that! And poor Kagami, she's our guest!!" Kazuo gaped at Miroku.
"Sango, I wasn't staring at her chest!" Miroku said exasperatingly.
"Oh, I'm sure you weren't," Sango humphed and turned away from him.
"Cut it OUT!" Kagami shrieked, and the others sat back, surprised. "What the hell are you all talking about? Who is this damn girl you keep saying I look like, and Miroku, please don't stare at my chest! Get it?"
"Got it," the gathering replied.
"Good. Thank you... " Kagami rubbed her forehead. "Number one: who's the girl?"
"Well, Kagami, her name was Kagome... and she was our old friend, as I've told you- " Sango started.
"Wait, is that Kagome... Higurashi?" Kagami asked.
"Why, yes, I believe that was her full name."
"Well... " Kagami breathed out in disbelief. No wonder Kagome had told her to stay away from the well, for she too knew of it and how dangerous it could be in the land of demons. "She's my mother. I'm Kagami Higurashi."
"What? You've got to be joking!" Sango gasped. "I never knew... I mean, she and Inu-Yasha did... but, oh, for kami's mystic sake!"
"You know my father too?"
"Know your father?" Miroku said, finally closing his jaw. "We certainly did! He must be the most famous demon around here. Inu-Yasha's tale is renowned everywhere in Japan."
Kagami's jaw dropped. Her father, famous? Well, he was well known in her neighborhood for being, well, rowdy, to put it one way. But all over Japan... how come she had never heard his tale in stories, then? Or perhaps his tale was lost. This was five hundred years before she was born, after all. It was very surprising. But wait, Miroku had called Inu-Yasha a--a demon!
"Wait a minute!" She jumped up. "You called him a demon! What do you mean by, a demon! That's ridiculous, my father is not a demon!'
Miroku, Shippou, and Sango all exchanged mutual looks. Kagami didn't like this. It was too, well, freaky. She wanted an explanation. And in the next hour, Sango, with the help of Shippou and her husband, did explain it to her. Only then did it become even freakier...

Hope you enjoyed the first two chapters, I'm having fun writing it! And for you who don't like Sesshoumaru and Rin together, I'm sorry, but it's just too bad and you'll have to live with it. It's not a possibility, you say? It's ridiculous because she's just a little girl when introduced, and he's how old? Hmm... do you even know what fanfiction is?! Let me put it simply: Fan- FICTION!!! It's fiction of fiction, understand? I'm making it up. Besides, I needed someone to be Sesshoumaru's wife, and it seemed like an okay idea. Anyway, please tell me what you think about it, good or bad. I hope my writing is okay, too... My favorite type of stories to write are always set in the future, and about the main characters children. (^_^) It's so much fun! There I go again talking too much (like Kazuo)... ciao then!
Kagami Finds Out That Her Father is Famous... and a Little Something Else, Too!

"Wait a minute!" She jumped up. "You called him a demon! What do you mean by, a demon! That's ridiculous, my father is not a demon!'
Miroku, Shippou, and Sango all exchanged mutual looks. Kagami didn't like this. It was too, well, freaky. She wanted an explanation. And in the next hour, Sango, with the help of Shippou and her husband, did explain it to her. Only then did it become even freakier...

Hope you enjoyed the first two chapters, I'm having fun writing it! And for you who don't like Sesshoumaru and Rin together, I'm sorry, but it's just too bad and you'll have to live with it. It's not a possibility, you say? It's ridiculous because she's just a little girl when introduced, and he's how old? Hmm... do you even know what fanfiction is?! Let me put it simply: Fan- FICTION!!! It's fiction of fiction, understand? I'm making it up. Besides, I needed someone to be Sesshoumaru's wife, and it seemed like an okay idea. Anyway, please tell me what you think about it, good or bad. I hope my writing is okay, too... My favorite type of stories to write are always set in the future, and about the main characters children. (^_^) It's so much fun! There I go again talking too much (like Kazuo)... ciao then!
