I do not own Inuyasha or any of Takahashi-sama's characters.
"I'll be able to run away now," Kirara smiled softly to herself. "I'll be able to protect myself. I don't care how I became a hanyou, I'm just glad to be one."
"You're glad to be a hanyou?" a voice asked.
"Yes, I feel safer," Kirara touched one of her ears gently.
"Even if you're a freak now?" the voice was distinctly male.
"I don't care; I've been called that most of my life. I've learned how to deal with it. Besides I have something my foster family doesn't, and I doubt it's something they gave to me," Kirara frowned and let her ears find the voice's owner. "You coming out of that tree now, or should I come up?"
"Feh! Like you could actually find me," the boy replied confidently.
"Tree behind me, half way up, a little to the right," Kirara responded.
"Huh? Oh… I forgot you're a hanyou," the boy muttered in annoyance.
"Well, can I at least see the face of the person I'm having a conversation with?"
"No one's stopping you," the boy snorted.
"Going up!" Kirara smirked. "Hi, I'm Kirara Taiji."
"Feh, I'm Wren Inu."
"Cool! I think my mom read way too much Inuyasha and she must have named me after her favorite character," Kirara laughed.
"…Inuyasha…" Wren Inu glanced at the hanyou next to him.
"Yeah! It's a story about a hanyou dog demon, which was stuck to this tree by a miko, who was tricked into doing it because she thought he was trying to steal the Shikon no Tama or Jewel of Four Souls. Then 50 years later, this miko in training comes from the future and frees the hanyou. Problem is that he thinks she's the miko who stuck him to the tree. Eventually this baba with an eye patch throws some rosary on the hanyou and the miko from the future tells him to osuwari or sit. The hanyou, who's called Inuyasha, gets mad at her and starts to call her a wench and a bitch… the list goes for a while until she says osuwari. The miko from the future tells Inuyasha that her name is Kagome, she happens to be the reincarnation of the miko that pinned Inuyasha to the tree. So when Kagome accidentally shatters the Shikon no Tama. Inuyasha and Kagome are sent by the baba with the eye patch to find all the shards. Along the way they meet a cute little kitsune, Shippo, who is also very annoying, a perverted monk named Miroku, a demon exterminator called Sango, and her demon cat called Kirara. They set out to find the shards, but end up fighting Naraku, a really weird hanyou that dresses in a baboon coat, Koga, a demon who thinks Kagome is 'his woman', Naraku's lackeys, Sango's dead brother Kohaku, and Inuyasha's annoying half brother, a full demon named Sesshoumaru. Eventually I think they find all the shards, but I'm not sure, my foster mom threw away all my comics but one, I hid it from her. I really don't like her. Sometimes I pretend that she's Kikyo and I'm gonna make her pay for hurting Kagome and Inuyasha."
"…"
"Funny thing is that her first name is Kikyo, and her husbands name is Naraku…"
"My dad and mom are named Inuyasha and Kagome," Wren Inu muttered loud enough for her to hear.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I have an Uncle Miroku and an Aunt Sango. My Aunt Sango has a brother named Kohaku, but they aren't really related to me. I also have an Uncle Koga and an Aunt Kagura; once again they aren't related to me. My only real uncle is my Uncle Sota."
"Huh, that's interesting," Kirara frowned in thought. "I wonder… naw, that couldn't be right. I wish I could talk to my friend again."
"What friend?" Wren Inu asked.
"Some guy I met in the orphanage, he had red hair and green eyes…" Kirara's eyes widened, "His name was Shippo!"
"What?" Wren Inu was getting more shocked by the moment.
"I really hope that I'm not right. I'm not sure I want to be right," Kirara hid her face in her hands.
"Kirara, is there anything that would disprove whatever you're thinking?" Wren Inu asked.
"Yeah, but it'll only confirm Shippo, Kikyo, and Naraku," Kirara began to cry.
"Oy! Don't cry, Kirara!" Wren Inu scooted closer to her; "Maybe it won't confirm what you're thinking!"
"You think so?" Kirara asked softly, drying her tears on her sleeve.
"We'll never know unless we check it out," Wren Inu sighed.
"Okay," Kirara smiled at Wren Inu.
"So, where is this comic you were talking about?"
"In my school desk…" Kirara sniffed the air and began to panic.
"What's wrong?" Wren Inu asked.
"Shane's coming, this is not good," Kirara shuddered.
"Hold on tight," Wren Inu picked up Kirara she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and he ran into the building faster than a normal being.
"Wren, thank you," Kirara bit her lip in embarrassment.
"Let's get that comic," Wren smiled at her.
"Okay," Kirara went to her desk and put her hand under it. She finally pulled it out and Wren Inu looked at the cover in surprise.
"That's my mom and dad," Wren Inu swallowed hard.
"Here's a picture of Sango and here's one of Miroku," Kirara had opened the comic book.
"That's them, and that's my uncle that we never see!" Wren Inu pointed to a white haired female looking person.
"Sesshoumaru!" Kirara's eyes widened.
"There's my other aunt and uncle!" Wren pointed at Koga and Kagura.
"Here's a picture of Sota, Kagome's younger brother…" Wren nodded. "Here's my friend, Shippo, only he looks younger here…"
"Okay, do you think that, um…?"
"I'm not sure, but it seems that I might have been a demon cat reborn as a hanyou," Kirara bit her lips in worry. "I'm sure only a few people know about this! I'm gonna find Shippo, wanna come?"
"Why not, it was rather boring until I met you," Wren grinned wryly.
"Even if it means skipping school and going to an orphanage?" Kirara raised an eyebrow.
"As long as we don't have to stay there," Wren shrugged.
