Through Sorrow & Time

I don't own any Inuyasha, or Remus Lupin.-.-

Akida- *panting from her battle with the writers block monster* I'm *gasp* going to
*gasp* finish this story if *gasp* it takes me two *gasp* years! *pants heavily*

Ayaia- Wow the commitment to her story is pretty astounding!
Hildy- *hands Akida a thin box 5ft in length* Here this is to help you battle writers block.
Akida- *takes the box & unwraps it & opens it, & squeals in delight* You found it!
Hildy- found what? *confusedly*
Akida- This was my sword when I turned 7! I lost it in the attic! *huggles her sword*
Hildy- Wow! You wouldn't think someone could get so happy about a weapon!
Ayaia- You obviously don't know Akida then! On with story!

Chapter 4: Akida, meet the Higurashi's ()0.0

Kagome looked around & saw what she expected a well cleaned barn. The only difference was the stairs leading to the
loft they were more elaborate, like the stairs you find in a house. Akida stopped laughing with her family & turned to see
Kagome staring at the stairs.
"Hey guys lets get all the stuff out of my truck & take it upstairs."Akida said. Everyone went outside.
"My gosh Akida who sent all that!" Destiny asked eyes wide.
"I think it was my ex-fiancé." Akida looked somewhat bored.
When they all had as much as they could carry (A/N: which wasn't to much considering there were 5 of them)
Kagome started to go upstairs with the rest of them. As soon as she got to the top she noticed that this part of the
barn didn't have that horse/manure smell, but more of a forest scent. Kagome set the things she was holding down &
looked around. ' Wow! Akida's house is so cool!' Kagome thought. The living room(a/n: the room that connects to the stairs)
if anything was wood it was done in black walnut giving the room a dark sheen. There was a blue rug right beside the grey
couch, across from a TV, above that a fairly extensive book case, in the corner was a stereo system. For all that stuff the
living room was pretty small only about 9x11 feet.
"Destiny, Kahv, Remus I need to take Kagome-chan home, okay?" They nodded.

Akida stopped in front of Kagome's house after about 15 minutes of driving.
(A/n: considering how fast she drives*cough* really fast) Kagome had one question burning in her mind. She desperately
wanted to know why Akida's eyes looked so full of sorrow, pain & hatred.
Akida looked at Kagome 'why isn't she getting out this is her house isn't it?'
"Uh. Kagome-chan this is your house, right?" Akida asked. Kagome was pulled from her thoughts.
"Oh-huh Yeah." Kagome stuttered. "Hey Akida-chan?"
"Yeah?"Akida cocked her head like she had done before & Kagome giggled.'What is it with Kagome & giggling when
I'm confused? Oh well.'Akida thought. Kagome shifted a little, then took a deep breath.
"Akida why do your eyes look so full of sorrow pain & hatred?" Kagome asked curiously. Akida was taken aback by this
question & ran a hand through her hair, thinking about how to answer that question. ' I guess the only way to answer that is to
show her my past.'
"Kagome-chan the only way for you to understand is if I show you my past." Akida stated this as if it were a matter-of-fact.
Kagome didn't understand 'what does she mean by that?' Akida saw Kagome's face & laughed a bit.
"I'll have to show you my memories."Akida said.
"Huh, how do you do that?" Kagome asked very confused. Akida allowed herself a smile.
"It's kind of hard to explain. I'm a witch, or I received training to be one however you want to put it."Akida bit her lip
drawing blood. 'Muggles aren't supposed to know about the wizarding world.'
" You mean like a Miko priestess type thing?" Kagome asked not so confused anymore. Akida thought about this for a moment.
" I guess, but I use spells I don't have any powers other then my youkai abilities. Does that clear your confusion?"
Akida took a deep breath from the mouthful of words.
"Yeah. Hey why don't you come inside."Kagome change the subject.
"Sure why not I've got lots of time." Akida yawned. Both girls went inside & Kagome was greeted by a little boy.
'This must be Kagome's little brother.' Akida mused. Akida looked up to see an older version of Kagome watching her.
"Hello Mrs. Higurashi." Akida said politely. Mrs. Higurashi walked swiftly up to Akida, & looked at her seriously.
"Where are your ears?!" Mrs. Higurashi sounded extremely disappointed. Akida just stood there eyes wide & very confused. Kagome saw that Akida was confused as to what her mom meant.
"Mom, this is Akida lupin she's a full youkai; not hanyou like Inuyasha. So she doesn't have ears." At that same moment
Kagome stopped explaining to her mom about why Akida did not have ears, her grandfather came running down the stairs,
carrying his scrolls. Kagome groaned, & Akida just looked confused.
" I will not have a female youkai in this house! Youkai begone........" Akida realized what he was going to do with those papers,
& narrowed her eyes.
"Old man put one of those scrolls on me & you'll wish you hadn't!" Akida growled venomously at Kagome's grandfather,
who backed away in surprise. Akida felt something tug at her pant-leg & she looked down to see the same little boy who had
greeted them at the door a second ago.
"Hello." Akida letting her anger disappear "What's your name?" She asked.
The little boy's shyness vanished in an instant. Then he puffed out his chest out with pride.
"My name's Sota! Why don't you have doggy ears like Inuyasha?" Sota asked with those incredibly innocent child eyes.
Akida sighed, 'how do I explain this.' she mused.
"Who is Inuyasha? Kagome-chan?" Akida asked curiously.
"Inuyasha is a dog hanyou, I know." Kagome shrugged.
"Oh, well Sota full youkai have tails & hanyou's have ears." Akida said hopping no more questions would be asked.
(a/n: naw!)
"Where's your tail then?" Sota asked curiously. Again Akida sighed.
"I have to hide my tail so people won't be afraid, or try to hurt me."
"Oh, well you don't have to hide it here! So you can let your tail be seen."Sota said triumphantly. Akida was caught off
guard by this but nodded in defeat.
" Ok,'apparere lupa cauda'"
Akida's tail suddenly appeared for all to see. Akida's tail was a dark grey, in color & had a dark sheen to it.
Sota squealed in delight, then started petting Akida's tail. Akida was very protective of her tail, & out of habit growled
at the offending hand that dare touch her tail. Sota blinked & backed away from Akida.
"I'm sorry Sota, it's just I....you were petting my tail the........wrong way." Akida lied.
With the damage done Akida showed him 'how to pet her tail properly', & put up with his petting her tail.
"Akida-chan I want to show you my room! No Sota you can't come." Kagome said this for Akida's benefit, of course.
As soon as they got into Kagome's room they both started laughing.
"Thank you. It was all I could do not to bite your lil' brother out of protectiveness of my tail. Sorry." Akida said the relief
clear in her voice.
