Inuyasha's Daughter "Dragon Rings"

In the village near the God Tree, Kaede, Kikyo's sister, was sitting near the fire in her house. She looked up in shock as Shippo entered the house.

"Shippo, what are thou doing here?"

"It's great to see you too, Kaede. I came here for a place to rest for the night."

"Then let thyself in." Kaede wraped her green blanket around herself.

Shippo walked into the small hut, carrying the sleeping Iris in his arms. he laid her on a small cot and covered her up with a blue kimono top.

A/N: Shippo has the top, he just chooses not to wear it. -.

"Who is the lass, Shippo?"

"Her name is Iris. She's Inuyasha and Kagome's daughter."

"How did she get here?"

"Your asking the wrong demon, Kaede. I found her being attacked by a centipede demon." Shippo sat in a cross legged position.

Kaede looked at Shippo. His youthful eyes were now replaced with the type of eyes a warrior had. Ever since he got the weapon, Tosusaiga from Totosai, he's become just as strong as Inuyasha. What surprised her even more is after Sesshomaru got married, he gave Shippo the Tensusaiga.

****

"So your saying that blasted Shippo killed Koromei?!" A cat demon asked, angrily.

"I'm sorry, milady..." demon bowed to her.

"I don't wanna hear it!! Gather the finest demons in my army. Send them after her. She owns the dragon rings of death and life. I want them now!!!!"

The demon bowed to her, and fearfully left the room. The dat demon walked out to her window and started out into the darkness.

"That wentch, Kaede sent the dragon rings into another time to prevent me from destroying this world, but now I'll have them all for my self. The only thing that could... no, that will never happen. Only a quarter demon can handle that weapon. That type of demon is rare to find. I need not worry about it." She chuckled.

She brushed the thought away from her mind, and headed out of the throne room.

'I will have those dragon rings. Just wait and see, Kaede.'

****

Inuyasha sat on the porch, beating himself up about Iris getting teleported to the fedual era.

"How was she able to get there? Kagome has the sacred jewel, it's just not possible."

"Inuyasha..."

He turned to see Kagome, standing there with a look of sadness on her face.

"What is it, Kagome?"

"You need to stop beating yourself up about what happened. It wasn't your fault.

"I know... but..." He couldn't find the words.

"Inuyasha, I want you to go to the fedual era."

"What?!"

"Shh... Kayasha is sleeping. I'll give you the sacred jewel. Go back to that time and find Iris, okay?" You have all summer to find her." She smiled.

A smirk appeared on Inuyasha's face, as he and Kagome were in the middle of a warm hug. A few minutes later, they seperated.

"You be careful, my love." Kagome stroked Inuyasha's cheek.

"I'll be fine. You take care of yourself and Kayasha."

Inuyasha gently kissed Kagome on the forehead, as she handed him the jewel, and brushed the hair out of his face. He wrapped the beaded string across his wrist.

"I'll be back with Iris, try not to worry."

Inuyasha strapped the Tetsusaiga across his waist, and to the well shrine.

"I can try..." She sighed.

****

Iris stirred and opened her now golden eyes. She pulled a lock of hair in front of her face.

She sighed, seeing her silver hair with random streaks of black. She lifted herself out of bed, and headed out of the house she was in. She was greeted by Shippo and a very old woman.

"Shippo?" Iris yawned.

"Good morning, Iris. Good to see you... now with silver hair." Shippo smiled.

"It there something wrong with my hair? I am a quarter demon, you know." Iris smiled.

"I didn't say anything was wrong with it. You... look a lot... like Inuyasha." Shippo looked at the ground.

"Do... you find my ears... weird at all?" Iris asked.

Shippo looked up, seeing her eyes pleading for an answer. He sighed in frustration.

"No... I don't find your ears weird. If I said they were weird, it would be like the pot calling the kettle black. After all, I have a fox tail."

"Your... a fox demon, right? Half, quarter, or full?"

"I'm a full fox demon. The last of my tribe. My parents were killed by...-"

"The Thunder Brothers?" Iris spoke up.

"How'd you know?"

"Dad told us about it. He told me back then, you were an annoying pest."

"That's Inuyasha... always making fun of me..." Shippo mumbled.

Then, a thought ran throught ran through Iris' mind. Shippo's attention was caught as he watched her dig through her kimono pocket, and pulled out two rings.

"What the hell are those?" Shippo scratched his ear.

"There rings. I call them dragon rings." Iris grinned.

Kaede's head shot up, as Iris showed Shippo her rings.

'The dragon rings?! They were sent to Kagome's time?'

"You want one, Shippo?"

"Me? Why?"

"I promised myself I would give a ring to a person that wouldn't make fun of my ears. You didn't, so you can have one." Iris smiled, warmly.

Shippo looked into Iris' face. People must've made fun of her becaused of her ears. He could understand, he was never allowed in any village besides Kaede's.

"Sure... I'll have one."

Iris brightened a bit, and grabbed Shippo's hand. She took the ring with the ruby and slipped onto his left middle finger.

"There. It looks perfect." Iris smiled.

"Are you going to wear that ring?" He pointed to the diamond dragon ring.

"Yep." She slipped it onto her left ring finger. "Now we both have one."

"Shippo, are thou leaving with Iris?" Kaede spoke up.

"Uh huh, thanks for putting up with me, Kaede." Shippo tied his kimono top around his waist.

"Anytime, lad." Kaede smiled. " Take care of thyself, you two."

Shippo motioned to Iris, as she climbed onto his back. She held on tightly, as Shippo ran as fast as lightning down through Inuyasha's forest. Unknown to the two, demons were waiting for them. Iris almost fell off, as Shippo stopped suddenly.

"Shippo, what's wrong?" Iris asked.

"Demons... everywhere..." He sniffed the air.

Tons of rustles went through the trees at once. Shippo placed his hands on both of his swords, and angry growl on his face. Iris went behind Shippo as more than 20 demons that looked like humans surrounding the two.

"My...god." Iris gasped.

"Fox demon, hand the girl over to us. She is wanted by Lady Kisara." A tiger demon stepped forward.

"I don't know who this 'Lady' Kisara is, but Iris isn't going with you." He pulled the out the Tosusaiga out.

"Get them." The tiger demon growled.

"Iris, take this," Shippo threw her the Tensusaiga. "can you use a sword?" He asked, as they were back-to-back.

"of course!" Iris smirked.

"Let's go!!!" Shippo charged at the demons.

A/N: Cliffhanger, ne? r/r. I'll be working on the fourth chapter in the mean time.
