Chapter 3: Like Mother, Like DaughterMikomi stayed in the house for a few days after her uncle's death. Finally, when she could take it no more, she wrote a note saying that anyone who had ever loved her was dead. She was running away. She told them in the note that she would never go to an orphanage, and that she was going home, to her father's place of birth, and maybe she could find her father's family.
She grabbed enough supplies for a month or more, and was about to leave… she saw a photo. It was of her family… Unca Sota, Great Grandfather, Grandmother, Mommy, Daddy, and her as a baby. She grabbed it, her treasured stories, her picture albums, and her other equipment. She almost left the shrine, when she heard something from the well house. She went in, and something pulled her through! She screamed as all her stuff vanished, and a huge monster stood before her. She quickly choked her scream, and became a blinding furry of sword, teeth, nails, and silver hair.
"Tetsusaiga! Help me!" Mikomi cried out as the thing began to attack her. "DIE DEMON!"
"Ah…" Nothing was left of the demon but ashes.
Mikomi found herself, and her stuff at the bottom of the well. She threw her stuff out of the well, and jumped. She landed on the soft floor of earth.
"KAGOME!" someone cried out. "WHERE IS KAGOME, INUYASHA?"
Mikomi turned and saw an elderly kitsune, "I am not my father, nor am I my mother."
"What?" the kitsune blinked in surprise.
"My parents died, as did everyone I cared about," Mikomi began to weep and sat down next to the well, cradling Tetsusaiga in her arms. She wore her father's fire-rat coat, and when he removed her hat, her ears popped out.
"I'm sorry, Inuyasha, I didn't know that Kagome died…"
"I AM NOT MY FATHER! I AM MIKOMI! I AM… I was… my family's hope for a brighter future," Mikomi cried harder.
"KAGOME MATED WITH INUYASHA?" the kitsune smiled a bit then stared at her. "I'm sorry, I'm Shippo. I am… or rather was… Kagome's and Inuyasha's friend."
"All dead but me…" Mikomi showed him the picture she wouldn't let leave her side. "I was the baby, the one in the picture." She stopped crying and pointed to who the others were. "My mother, my father, my grandmother, my Unca Sota, and my Great Grandfather… I'm all that's left. They were murdered and I will find the killer! I have the right to avenge my family!" Mikomi sighed and placed the picture back in its hiding space. "All I have left are memories, and my father's sword, now mine by right."
"I'll help you find them, but we should go see Sanhi (Sunlight) and her fiancée, Mijin (Swordman). Then maybe we'll see if Miroku (Not-yet-worthy) and Sango (Coral) can pull themselves together enough to see Inuyasha's (Dog-demon) and Kagome's (Divine-protection-eye) daughter.
