Chapter Two
Three rooms over Inuyasha and Kagome awoke at the same time. In an instant both were clothed and out of their bedroom. He grabbed his sword off the mantle, jarring it from its dusty spot.
"Ok ok so I was wrong. Sorry!" Kagome called behind him. Inuyasha flew out their front door and found himself in front of the God tree. He sniffed the air, but could barley make out a scent.
"Damn this human nose!" he cursed.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed. He turned to face...a youki. A demon.
'In Kagome's time?! I cant let anyone see this!' Tetsiga seemed to ache as he unsheathed it and brought it in front of him. Old feelings came rushing back...adrenaline, the smell of battle. But Tetsiga remained untransformed.
The demon seemed to be some sort of giant beatle. Its eyes bulged red, and its stomach juggled as it growled at him. 'Big ugly...and easy thankfully.' He thought. 'If its half as stupid as it looks this should be over before Maiyami sees anything.'
"I was getting out of shape anyway." He called, smirking. "Thanks for letting me have some kicks...but I can't let you harm my family!!!" Inuyasha leaped into the air and swung down hard. He may be human and older, but he wasn't weak. The beatle's hard shell barley cracked as Tetsiga slammed against it.
"Shit!" Inuyasha screamed, flying backwards from the force. He landed on his feet, sliding to a stop just in front of the house.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome came running with bows and arrows. "Im not sure but I think this guy is carrying a shard! In his left eye!"
"That's impossible!" Inuyasha searched for a logical explanation. His mind raced. 'But, Kagome and I have all the shards. How could...?!'
Suddenly Inuyasha was hit in the side of the head by the creatures antennae. 'I cant take much more of this in human form..... I have to transform...but if Maiyami saw...' More than anything, Inuyasha wanted Maiyami to live a normal life. The kind he felt he had denied Kagome by making her hunt for shards with him so many years ago. She had never seen him in his hanyou form, and they had made up several stories to explain how they met just to avoid any questions. It had been decided as soon as they got married that they would use the jewel to give Inuyasha the ability to turn into his human form at will, so they could live and rase a family in Kagomes time. Inuyashas brain racked for a way to beat the demon without causing the inevitable.
"Dad!!!!" Maiyami ran to the court yard and stopped in awe. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" she screamed. Shivers started running up and down her spine as the creature slowly turned to look at her.
"Maiyami! Go inside, I can take care of this!" Inuyasha yelled.
Sensing the creatures attention on her daughter, Kagome quickly drew and arrow and fired, hitting the creature in the back. But it seemed unaffected by the mikos powers. The youki turned and hit Kagome with one if its antennae. Her body flew across the courtyard and hit the doors to the old well with a dull thud. She slid to the ground, half unconscious.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha ran to her side, gathering her into his arms, still keeping an eye on the demon, who was trying to remove the arrow from his back. It was slowly making a hole, but not fast enough. He leaped towards the house and set her on the patio.
"Im...ok..." Kagome grabbed Inuyashas black hair gently. "Inuyasha. Transform. Its time."
"But we agreed...that we were going to wait. We wanted her to have the normal life neither of us had." Inuyasha wiped the blood off his brow, still intently watching the demon. "I can handle this Kagome."
"Dad!!!!" The creature suddenly turned again at Maiyami and began to charge. She backed up and started to run.
"Inuyasha, I don't think we can explain this one and keep her life 'normal'!"Kagome yelled frantically as Inuyasha dashed after the demon. She had been waiting for the day that Maiyami would finally know the truth. She wasn't afraid...but Inuyasha was terrified.
"Fine Kagome you win." In mid flight chasing the demon, Inuyasha instantly transformed to his hanoyu body. His yellow eyes watched his hair turn a perfect silver white, and his claws grow. "I love this body" Inuyasha thought to himself. He ran to meet up with the monster only to be stopped by Maiyami.
"I....am...so...angry!!!!" Maiyami screamed causing the demon to almost pause in shock. "How dare you hurt my family! How dare you threaten me! You piece of shit!" She turned and stared at the monster. Suddenly...she could see so much better. Every sense she had was ten times stronger. It was as if a huge dark cloud that she had been sitting in had been lifted and everything was clarified. Her hair blew in the wind and she could see that it had turned a darker, midnight shade of black with silver streaks. Her hands stretched to form claws. And from her mouth, tiny sharp k-nines appeared.
"What?! What is happening to me?" She looked at her body for a moment. The blood that had simply flowed through her veins suddenly pumped with a sense of urgency. "Left eye" voice said, and she attacked, instinct taking over whatever human sense she had left.
Inuyasha watched in amazement as his beautiful daughter slashed and ripped the demon to pieces. It was as if something inside of her just, exploded. Standing in awe, he tried to make sense of what she had become.
"That's enough!" Kagome screamed and ran past Inuyashas stiff shocked body. "That's enough Maiyami! Its dead now! Can't you see that?"
Maiyami snapped out of her trance. She looked down to see herself covered in the monsters green blood. It oozed off her razor sharp claws. Breathing heavily and growling, she fell to her knees. The monster suddenly faded away, almost as if it hadn't been there to begin with. In its place was left a tiny stone with a drop of blood on it. Inuyasha ran to the stone and picked it up. The blood smelt familiar, but he couldn't quite place it. Placing it in his pocket, he turned to look at his daughter, who was crying in her mothers arms.
"What....what am I?!" Maiyami bawled into her mothers shoulder.
"I'm so sorry Maiyami we should have told you sooner...."Kagome started crying as well.
'Gah....why do they cry?! I hate that!' Inuyasha thought to himself. He walked over and picked both of them up and walked into their house.
"So...so that's REALLY how you two fell in love?!" Maiyami asked with a grin.
"'fraid so kid," Inuyasha poked at Kagome lovingly as they sat together on their love seat in the living room. Kagome stared at him, smiling because she could finally look at his half youki form for longer than ten minutes again. 'I didn't realize how much I missed him looking like this all the time.' she thought.
"Wow that is so much more interesting than the crud you were feeding to me before. And so Dad this is your 'true' form...a half youki?" Maiyami sat on the floor, back to the TV and a towel wrapped around her head. She had to take a shower to get all the ooze off of her, but it was still in the most inconvenient of places. Like her new ears. And she couldn't quite figure out how to clean them.
"Yes. So in turn that makes you a quarter youki." Inuyasha looked at her daughter with caution. "I want you to know that we never intended on having you have these same sort of traits. Your mother and I....we just wanted you to have the life that neither of us did...a normal one."
"Feh...who wants a normal life?!" Maiyami asked, pulling the rest of the towel off and shaking her head. "I've always thought there was something wrong with me. Because I've always had this sense like I don't belong. Like there is a different path for me then just going to school and getting a mediocre job. Like I'm meant for something more." She sighed and smiled. "At least now I know Im not a total freak. At least I know there's a reason for these feelings."
"Well I guess there's only one thing left to do." Kagome smiled as she stood up.
"What's that Mom?" Maiyami said, looking up at her mother.
"I think its time to go back..." Kagome reached a hand to Maiyami and helped her daughter up. "Come on lets get dressed."
"What? Kagome!" Inuyasha called after the two girls. "We cant bring her back with us. Its...um...we cant!"
"Why?" Kagome turned with urgency in her eyes. "Inuyasha, I have waited 15 years to show her how beautiful your time is. To introduce her to Shippo, Miroku, Sango, everyone. Heck, I haven't even seen them in eight years. I miss them Inu-chan....." she gave him her biggest puppy dog eyes.
"Gah...uh...I...." Inuyasha searched for some sort of leg to stand on. He glanced at his daughter for help only to see....a yellow pair of puppy dog eyes. He sighed. "Fine. It's morning now anyway."
"Yippe!" Both girls jumped for joy and then ran to get dressed. As quickly as they went in, they came out. Kagome wore a green skirt, and a green and white shirt. ("For old times sake" she told him.) Maiyami, who never had a keen fashion sense, put on tight blue jeans and her schoolgirl fuku top. ("What?! Its comfortable!" she said when Kagome gave her a look.) Inuyasha sighed as he got dressed in his bedroom. He pulled on his usual red shirt and was buttoning his jeans when he felt an arm and then a warm body press against his back..
"Here." Kagome hugged his stomach. "Wear this." She handed him his old red pants and kimono top. "You'll blend in better than both of us."
"Kagome..." he smiled and wrapped her in his arms. He kissed the top of her forehead. "Thank you."
"For what Inu-chan?" she smiled stood at the top of her toes and kissed his cheek. "Get dressed silly. Our girls' double parked. And so am I....oh my gosh!!!" suddenly a look of panic crossed Kagome's face. "I should bring food! Ahh!!! Maiyami I need your help!" Kagome called and ran out the door, leaving Inuyasha smirking to himself.
