Get to Know Me:Chapter 4
by:Rabid-fangirl13

Kagome stood in fear. The centipede towering over her.
"Give me the Shikon no Tama!" It yelled, charging at her.
"No way! She's givin' it to me!" The newly awoken Inuyasha was still pinned to the tree.
The centipede paid no heed to Inuyasha; instead, it ripped to Shikon no Tama from Kagome's body, then proceeding to swallow it.
"now" Ko wispered in the tree above.
The centipede laughed in victory while Kagome was crumpled on the ground in pain.
"Now my power is complete! Nothing can stop m..." blow to the stomach cut the centipede short.
Kaede's eyes widened,"She has returned..."
Kagome looked at the old woman with pained eyes,"Who...Kaede-bachan?"
"....Koinu."
"Heheheheh! You really ought to be more careful centipede. I might kill you on accident." Ko stood in the clearing.
"K..."Kagome started.
Kaede's expresion softend,"Koinu..."
"Thats my name, don't wear it out!" Koinu smiled,"Been a while,huh Kaede? Maybe you should retire. I'm only 7 years older, but your 50!"
The centipede was angry at the girl," How dare you, you, HUMAN!"
Koinu snapped her head at the centipede. Her once cheerful eyes full of anger,"What did you call me?"
A pendant fell from inside koinu's shirt, whose sleeves were now rolled up to her elbows,that had a cresent moon on it.She looked down at it, hitting herself on the head, then taking it off.
Inuyasha's eyes widened as Koinu's once black hair became a pure white, her teeth curved into fangs, her finger nails narrowed and slowly became claws. The dark brown of her eyes faded to a golden color and white dog ears ontop of her head took the place of her 'human' ears.
Inuyasha stumbled with his words,"You're a...a...a..."
"Hanyou?"Koinu finished his sentence for him,"but you know...I am more than that Niichan(older brother)."
Everyone froze. No one but Koinu and Kaede had known about Koinu being Inuyasha's sister. No one was suppoused to know.
"Nii...chan? NANI!!!????" Inuyasha yelled.
Koinu covered her ears in pain.
"Owey! You don't have to yell so loud!"
"You are not my sister! She's dead. My mother told me the night she told me to flee the castle!"
"Well, she had a good reason to lie!'
"What was it?"
"I...can't tell you"
"Ha! I..."
The centipede rushed at Koinu, but she had already vanished.
"You have to be faster than that!" Koinu said, sitting on top of the centipede's head.
"why you!"
Koinu lifted her hand and plunged it into the centipede's back, ripping out the Shikon no Tama, then proceding to cut off the centipede's head.
Kagome's pain finally took over, and she blacked out.

Kagome awoke to the smell of herbs and a burning fire. Opening her eyes, she found herself in Kaede's hut.
"What happened to me?" She asked outloud.
"You blacked out from blood-loss."
Kagome turned to the owner of the voice, Koinu, who was sitting on the back of a very uncomfortable Inuyasha. As he tried getting up, Koinu stopped him with one word,"Osuwari(sit)." He hit the ground HARD.
The weird thing about how Koinu said sit, she sounded like....
"Koinu?"Kagome looked at her friend, who now looked nothing like the 'Ko' that Kagome knew.
"yes?"
"The way you said sit just now..." Inuyasha hit the ground hard again. Koinu looked down at him.
"That one wasn't me." she turned to Kagome,"Kaede put that rosary around his neck, and the first word that someone said would bind him to them. I imatated your voice perfectly! So now when you or I say the 's' word, he hits the ground.
Kagome looked confused, but then she noticed a purple rosary he didn't have around his neck before. She then made the conection.

Koinu and Inuyasha left the hut so Kaede could explain Kagome's situation to her. Inuyasha was a little tense.
"Now that we have established that you ARE my little sister," he said," what exactly do I do with you now?"
She looked at him and smiled," Get to know me."
He looked at her, a slight blush crossing his face. His little sister was a kid in so many ways, but she was more adult than he was.
They sat in the branches of a tree talking.
"So you grew up in another world?" Inuyasha asked her.
"yea."
"Where is it?"
"I don't really know."
"....who raised you?"
"Neo, Les, Tera, Rei, and...."
"And who?"
"Kikyo."
Inuyasha froze then smiled,"You were that other little brat that followed her around. The one that bugged me all the time."
Koinu looked at the ground blushing,"yea, that was me."
They're conversation went on for hours,but most of it was Inuyasha talking about his past. Koinu said nothing more about her own. 'Get to know me' her own words rang in her head. I am getting to know him

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! END. So Koinu's past is still shrouded in mystery! Not even Inuyasha knows, so how can I tell you? I don't Own Inuyasha and co., but Koinu is mine.
Agian, Ko and Koinu ARE THE SAME PERSON! The next chapter will explain why she has two names. Till next time Ja ne! ^.^
