Chapter 1 : A New World

"Mother... " A young fourteen-years old girl whispered in the dark winds on the high cliff. And as if the wind is answering, it gently caressed her white dog ears, with long silver hair that shines brightly from the rays of the full moon, letting it flow freely in a soft rhyme behind her. Closing her pearl eyes, hooding it under her bangs, tears slowly drips down on her pale cheeks as it drops toward the grassy ground.

"Inu-Yasei..." Someone called her name from behind as she quickly wiped her tears away and turned around. Meeting another girl around her age, with long black hair as she looks at Inu-Yasei with sad brown eyes. "Are you all right...?"

"I'm fine, Saki," Inu-Yasei nodded with a force smile, looking back up at the moon. "Just...relaxing, that's all."

"And I'm sure calling for your mother might help you," Saki whispered as Inu-Yasei flinched, "She died six years ago, Inu-Yasei..."

"It is because of that, did my father become the way he is," Inu-Yasei said bitterly, bitting her bottom lip as small fangs can be seen, "Our greatest enemy...the damn leader in the whole Dansei land..."

"A land that only males' rules from the other side of this mountain..." Saki nodded, looking off in the distance, "Your father, Inu-Yasha, really loves your mom. Once died of a disease, did he somehow changed into a cruel man...using the shards from the Shikon Jewel to lure all males to join him. Not a single man is here with us for they had become our enemies."

"If only mother was still alive...this would never have happened..."

"Lady Kagome was a wonderful person, Inu-Yasei. On and off did we fight to survive against the males, and we're even lucky to be even with them. No side is taking the upper hand...all either the males from the Dansei land...or us females, here on the Fujin land."

"I'm sorry Saki," Inu-Yasei said, lowering her head in shame.

Saki blinked, "For what?"

"For separating your family apart. Only living with your mother, Lady Rin, while betrayed by your own father and older brother..."

"It's never your fault, Inu-Yasei...nor Lady Kagome," Saki looked at her softly, "What is done had already been done. We can't change the past but only the future...that's why I've come to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"How do you feel...seeing your mother again? But very different..."

Inu-Yasei snapped her head up in shock, "What?"

Saki winked at her, "I believe you do remember that Lady Kagome had teaches my mother in using inhuman powers, ne? Lady Kikyou and her are planning to use their powers together to received Lady Kagome...maybe from another world."

"Another...world...?" Inu-Yasei began to breathed heavier, shaking her head, "They were planning to...used her, right?"

"It's the only way to be able to make peace with the males in the Dansei land, Inu-Yasei," Saki's brown eyes sadden, "Who knows, maybe she'll be able to have Inu-Yasha back the way he used to be."

"But we really don't know if it would work at all, Saki...It seems like a very weird idea."

"Come with me home and we'll see. They are going to start in a few minutes anyway..."

"Are you really sure this might work, Kikyou?" A beautiful twenty-nine years old woman asked worriedly, brushing her long black hair over her shoulder.

Kikyou looked at the younger woman emotionlessly, "No...we had never done this before, Rin..."

"Great, you guys are making me even more worried!" Another soft voice joined them as they turned around to meet an older woman, who appeared to be at aged thirty-seven, "It you two are not sure in any of this, then why bother trying it?"

"If you want to be back with your husband, Miroku, and son, then I suggest you helping us relaxed instead, Sango," Kikyou said to her with a small frown.

Sango tried to bark back a replied but immediately shuts her mouth, looking away angrily, "Why can't you find another person with powers as good as yours, Kikyou? Since you and Kagome are twin sisters, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have my only sister-in-law to be part in any of it."

Rin smiled at her, "I'll be fine, Sango. It might take a lot of energy, so maybe we'll probably be unconscious for a whole month and our powers unlimited for another week, but we'll come out pretty much alive."

Sango stared at her, "And you told me NOT to worry?!"

"Or maybe it wouldn't be so bad," Kikyou said, looking at them, "Our powers unlimited...yes. But being in a coma really depends how much strength we used."

"Though it does sound a bit risky, but it's the only way we can end this war, Sango," Someone said behind her as Sango turned around.

"A bit risky, Kirara? This is probably a life and death situation here! I'm not sure I've ever heard anything from Kagome that you can get someone to us from ANOTHER world?!"

"It's worth the try, besides, I wanted both of my daughters to have a whole family together," Kirara frowned, brushing her youngest daughter's orange bangs away from her face, as the little girl looked at her in confusion with turquoise demon eyes, "Neko here has missed her father and twin brother a lot..."

Rin looked at her, "How can Neko even remembers them? She hasn't seen them since she was only three years old...but that's six years ago."

Before Kirara can reply, she was interrupted when two girls barged into the room, panting. Saki sighed in relief, "Good...you haven't started it yet."

Rin smiled at her daughter, "Saki."

"Are you sure you wanted to do this, Aunt Kikyou?" Inu-Yasei asked, looking at her uncertainly.

"There's no other choice, is there, Inu-Yasei?" Kikyou replied, looking at her, "If we would not do this, then the war between us with the males will never end."

"It's for the best, Inu-Yasei," Kirara said with a sad smile.

Inu-Yasei nodded, "But if the war ends, is there a way to bring...her back?"

"You mean Kagome from another world?" Rin enquired, a small smile on her lips. "If we could bring her here, then we can also take her back."

"That's all I wanted to hear..."

"It's time," Kikyou said to them, looking out the window where the full moon is visibly seen, "I suggest you all wait outside for this. It might be too dangerous..."

"If anything happens, then shout so we can hear you," Kirara said worriedly, standing up from the ground while swaying her two long catlike tails from behind, holding onto Neko's hand.

"I'm STILL not approved to this though!" Sango muttered under her breath when they all leave the room.

Saki stopped by the door, "Mother...?"

Rin looked at her, "Yes Saki?"

"Please be careful...and you too, Lady Kikyou..."

"We will," Kikyou nodded at her as she left. "Ready Rin."

"Yeah," Rin said, noting that she didn't sound particularly sure.

"Then let us begin..."



~*~*~From the Other World We All Know Of~*~*~



"Well, this seems like a nice place to sleep," Miroku said, looking around the large room in approval.

Sango nodded, shifting her boomerang behind her back, "At least the man who owns this house was kind enough to let us borrowed it for tonight."

Miroku smiled at her, "Indeed."

"From the same old plan on what you monks' calls 'a little white lie'," Inu-Yasha snorted, looking dully at him, "So how many of these 'ominous clouds' could be hovering over this house, eh?"

"Just be glad we have a place to stay for a while. I don't think the ladies would like laying on the dirt ground or continued walking nonstop without sleeping."

"At least he had a good point, knowing Inu-Yasha would travel like that," Shippou whispered in Kagome's ear as they looked at them, still arguing.

"I'm going to the spring," Sango announced, putting her boomerang down while Kirara curled up beside it, sleeping.

Kagome nodded, "I'll come along too."

"I just stay here and keep an eye on them," Shippou said, indicating Inu-Yasha and Miroku, hopping down from Kagome's shoulder when they begin leaving.

"If you're so offended of me lying to people, maybe we can find a place that has a small rodent demon for us to kill then." Miroku continued as Inu-Yasha looked at him with angry signs popping on his head.

"Why should I CARE if you lie to people or not?!" Inu-Yasha shouted at him.

"...or I'll just sleep instead," Shippou rolled his turquoise demon eyes in annoyances, curling up beside Kirara to sleep as they continued fighting. But no sooner than a minute did they finally stopped while Kirara and Shippou quickly stood up from the ground in alarmed when hearing a loud scream from outside.

"Kagome!" Inu-Yasha shouted, running as fast as he could toward the spring, leaving the others to follow behind. Stopping by the door, he gave a powerful push that totally breaks it down when they all entered in the spring.

"Inu-Yasha!" Sango cried. Still, dressed as she runs toward them.

Inu-Yasha looked around, "Where's Kagome?!"

"S-she just disappeared before my eyes!" Sango stuttered, falling on her knees as Miroku stood beside her.

"Disappeared?" Shippou asked in fear with Kirara stood beside him.

Miroku frowned, looking at a shock Sango, "Was it a demon?"

"I...don't know," Sango said, shaking her head. "She was just suddenly surrounded by a flash of light and disappeared...I didn't even move to help her."

"I can't find a single scent of her or any demon around!" Inu-Yasha said to them, running off. "I'm going to find her!"

"Inu-Yasha!" Miroku called after him, shaking his head while helping Sango standing to her feet and takes her toward the room.

"I'm going to look for her too," Shippou said, running off after Inu-Yasha as Kirara quickly followed him from behind. ...Please be all right, Kagome...



~*~*~From Another World~*~*~



"When would be our next attack to the Fujin land, Inu-Yasha," A thirty-eight years old monk said seriously, fixing his rosary bead on his cursed hand.

An older fox demon nodded beside him, frowning on his stern face, "We haven't had a battle for about a year now..."

"It would be soon..." Inu-Yasha said calmly in a hard tone, from the dark corner of the room. "Very soon..."

"Hey Dog-Turd!" A shout came from outside as the door bangs opened, jumping up in the air while hopping down from Shippou's head before standing in front of them.

Shippou growled at him angrily from the ground, "Kouga!"

"You wouldn't believe what we just saw out there on the Fujin land," Kouga said, looking at them with wide azure demon eyes.

Miroku raised an eyebrow, "We?"

"Kouga and I, father," A seventeen-years-old boy answered, appearing from behind Kouga as he looked at the group with amethyst eyes.

"Eh? How did you get here so fast, Yousu?" Kouga asked him in disbelief, looking out the door, "I was sure I had outrun you by the mountains."

Miroku smirked at him, "I wouldn't train my son, Yousu, hard for nothing, Kouga."

Shippou frowned at them, "What is it that you have saw?"

"Oh, it's quite eerie for all I can say," Kouga began, sighing, "It seems like the women are up to something over there. The whole places where they live suddenly blinded my eyes by a great flash of light. I rush off as fast as possible with Yousu here."

"Flash of light?" Miroku said curiously, tilting his head to the side. "I wonder what it could be."

"I definitely do know that...Rin...is somehow involved," Another voice said to them as they turned around, meeting a man at age thirty-one as he looked at them with cold brown eyes, standing beside him was his son.

"And how do you know that, Kohaku?" Shippou asked him with a deeper frown on his face.

"I wonder how she can be involved with it, father," Kohaku's fifteen-years old son said emotionlessly, agreeing with Shippou.

Kohaku looked at his son, "Just a feeling, Toushi..."

"Any of you have some idea on what they're planning?" Inu-Yasha asked them with a cold growled, but was only answered by the silence. "I thought so."

"I suppose we have to wait and see," Miroku said to them, narrowing his eyes in thoughts.

Shippou smirked darkly, "I wonder what surprises we would have this time from the women. I'll be disappointed if it's not very big."

"With that huge light I just saw? It's gonna be big all right!" Kouga snorted, crossing his arms over his hard chest.



~*~*~*~*~



"I can't believe it worked! On the first try no less!" A young fox demon chirped, brushing her black hair away from her face while looking at her friends with rubies' demon eyes. Having a single fox fluffy white tail, that has a couple of black strips on the tip behind her.

"But Kitsune...this isn't what we were hoping to find," Saki frowned at her, shaking her head. "Lady Kagome was supposed to be older...a LOT older."

"Does it really matter? At least we have her with us, her scent is the same as our Lady Kagome here," Kitsune said, looking at her younger cat-demon sister, "Are you hungry Neko? I can get you something to eat."

"No," Neko shook her head as her orange bangs sway over her eyes. "I'm just worried about Lady Kikyou and Lady Rin."

"If you said her scent is the same as Lady Kagome, then why does she appear to be around fifteen? I mean...she looks as old as my older brother, Toushi!" Saki continued, sighing in frustration, "Our Lady Kagome died when she was twenty-nine!"

"Careful Saki, I don't think it's wise to mention about any males around here, or yet, COMPARING to Lady Kagome!" Kitsune scowled at her, holding onto Neko's hand. "Your brother, Toushi, is our enemy if you don't remember!"

"So are you saying Neko's twin fox-demon brother, Noboru, is our enemy too? Yet he's only nine like her!"

"What are you so moody about anyway?!"

"Guys...that's enough," Inu-Yasei stopped them as she enters the room they're in, "Lady Rin with Aunt Kikyou is in a coma for a while now. Saki is just worried about her mother, Kitsune."

Kitsune lowered her rubies' eyes, "I almost forgot about that...sorry Saki."

"It's okay," Saki murmured, looking at Inu-Yasei worriedly, "But are you all right, Inu-Yasei?"

She smiled, "Of course, it's not every day to meet your mother back again...yet younger and also from another world."

Kitsune raised a thin eyebrow, "How is she anyway?"

"Resting," Inu-Yasei answered, her dog ears quirked a bit, "In fact, I think she's waking up."

"Here," Saki whispered, giving Inu-Yasei a small tray that had provided food on it, "Why don't you give this to her?"

"Hey!" Kitsune cried, narrowed her demon eyes at her as Neko looked at them curiously, "My mother told me to do that since she's not sure if Inu-Yasei is ready to meet her."

"I'm sure Lady Kirara wouldn't mind at all if she 'is' ready," Saki smiled, looking at the surprised Inu-Yasei. "Hurry up before she wakes up!"

"O-okay," Inu-Yasei nodded, walking out the room with a loud gulp.

Neko blinked innocently, holding onto Kitsune's hand tighter, while waving her double orange long catlike tails behind her, "I hope she can take it..."

Kitsune nodded, "She have to face her soon or later."

"And it's later already," Saki replied, looking at them with a small smile before walking out the room, "I'm going to see my mother and Lady Kikyou. See you both for lunch."

"What do you say, Neko? Since its mother turn to be the guard today, want to go visit her?"

"Yeah!" Neko quickly nodded as they both runs out of the room, both their tails swaying behind them.
