Inuyasha's Daughter "Black covered partings"

Iris was in the back of the room, treating the wolf youkai's wounds, washing the dry blood that covered his legs. His wounds were even worse than even Shippo's wounds for Kouga. She lifted her head, and looked around for some bandages. She peeked inside the room where Shippo and Inuyahsa were talking about Shippo and Iris' relationship, and the fox demon was having a very difficult time trying to explain what was going on. But, Inuyasha spoke for him.

"So, your saying that your falling in love with Iris, Shippo?"

"I believe so... Inuyasha, I know that you still think of me as a selfness weakling, but I swear I've changed since the time we fought Naraku. I can protect Iris with my life, and I won't let Kisara get her hands on her. I want you to believe me, Inuyasha." Shippo finally spoke, his hand clutching his Tosaigua.

There was a silence for a few minutes, and then Inuyasha stood up, walking over to the fox demon. He lifted his clawed hand, and laid it on Shippo's shoulder.

"I can tell you matured and grown stronger these last 16 years, Shippo. I don't care if you date or love my daughter as long as you aren't the cause of her death." Inuyasha quickly ruffled the fox demon's hair.

"Um...thank you, Inuyasha."

Iris sighed in relief, as she headed back to the fire room, and sat next to the unconsiouss wolf youkai, setting the bandages on her lap. She washed the blood from Kouga's neck and legs, and wrapped them to stop the bleeding. She cleaned his wounds that were somehow not bleeding. She then wrapped the wounds around his waist and arms, knowing that his wounds would heal quickly because he was a full youkai. Suddenly, the wolf twitched, his eyes opening to get a better view of the quarter demon in front of him. He lifted his weak body, and leaned against the wall behind him, his ice eyes piercing the girl's gold.

"If you are Inuyasha's daughter, like you said, why are you bothering to help me?" Kouga growled weakily.

"Because I'm not like my father, and Kisara was controlling you. She's my enemy as well, Kouga. I want to help you, so don't judge me just because of who my father is. Now sit still, I need to wrap your neck where the fang was. It probably still stings." Iris replied, her eyes flashing with annoyance.

Inuyasha peeked into the room where Kouga and Iris was. He had to make sure the wolf wasn't trying to pull anything on his daughter. Shippo pushed past Inuyasha, and sat next to Iris, as she finished wrapping Kouga's wounds.

"He feeling better?" Shippo's tail flicked.

"Yeah, just needs some rest, and he'll be fine, that's all."

Two red anger filled eyes watched the small group from the darkness of the forest. They stared at the fox and quarter dog demons Both had the ring of the dragon around their finger, and she wanted them back, along with Kouga, who they took her fang out of. She resisted from screaming, seeing that Inuyasha was in the room as well. She quickly faded into the shadows, as Inu spoke.

"Guys, I think we should actually get some sleep. I'll take first watch, then Shippo, and Kouga can go last if he wants, if your up to it, Ookami." Inuyasha glared over at the wolf demon.

"You let me get some sleep, and I'll be more than happy to guard your lives..." Kouga folded his arms, laying his head on the wall.

Iris stood up, and headed into the main room, near the fire, and curled up next to it. To her surprise, two strong arms made their way around her waist. She turned to see it was Shippo, and he gently made a fox like growl into her ear.

"You wouldn't mind if I slept with you until Inuyasha makes me stay out, would you?" He whispered, rubbing her cheek.

"No, I don't. I'm just really tired. I want to sleep for a while." She yawned.

"You'll be able to get some sleep. I'll watch you until I go out. Kisara won't get her hands on you."

"Thanks, Shippo." She quickly fell asleep.

**************************************

Inuyasha sat outside, watching the cresent moon in the sky. It was good that it wasn't the new moon, or he'd be human again. He tossed his silver hair away from his face, and leaned by the porch. He heard a creak of wood, and looked over to see Kouga leaning by the window sill. A smirk appeared on his face as he looked at the half dog demon.

"Hey."

"So, what now, Kouga? Are you gonna try to steal Iris like you did with Kagome? Advanced warning, Shippo won't allow you to do that, and neither will I for that matter." Inuyasha sighed.

"I really have no intention of taking that girl as my mate. It be kinda pointless, since I'm not even in love with her like I did Kagome. Since she chose you to be her mate, I did get married again, but...Kisara killed her and my own son...After that, my memory is completely blurry...and then I was trying to escape my own mind." Kouga reached out to to carass the flower under him.

"You've changed a lot, Kouga. You usually have a one track mind, but even you can mature after the battle with Naraku." Inuyasha laid his head on the porch.

"How is Kagome?" Kouga rubbed his head.

"She's fine, she has our son with her, and soon, we'll be expecting our third child."

"How is the monk and demon slayer?"

"Their fine. They have about 4 kids, and Iris is best friends with their oldest daughter, Sinna. I never wanted to bring Iris to the fedual era, but it looks like she came anyway..."

"I'm jealous of you, Inuyasha." Kouga sighed.

"Why?"

"Because I would have had three cubs by now if Kisara hadn't killed my tribe and life. I don't even want to think of all the mess I made while under Kisara's control." Kouga trailed off.

"Don't think about it, then. You were under her control when it happened, so it's her fault, not yours. You can fix your problem by working with us for a while."

"Alright...but don't think I'm going to help you, I'm only going to settle the score with that bitch." The glare appeared on the wolf's face.

"Feh...I wouldn't care what reason you were fighting, as long as I don't have to put up with your crap again. Just watch yourself out there, wolf boy."

"Don't call me that.....that damn Kagura called me that..."

"Shippo!!! It's your turn!!"

*******************************

Iris made the effort to open her eyes, and stretched a little, letting her claws flex so she could feel them again. She stood up, and walked up, and walked over to the window, letting the wind blow through her hair. She looked over as Shippo began to get up as well. She smiled at the fox demon, and looked back out the window.

"Good morning, Shippo."

"Good morning, Iris, how'd ya sleep?"

"Just fine, I hope dad and Kouga didn't bite each other's heads off." She began to braid her hair.

"I highly doubt it. Those two are alike in more ways then their different. I'm sure they were fine last night." Shippo shrugged.

"I guess." Iris smiled, finally finishing her braid.

Shippo grabbed his swords, and strapped them to his side, Iris taking her sword as well, going to meet Inuyasha and Kouga, who seemed to be talking to each other. Iris was surprised that those two weren't trying to bite each other, they were just talking. They looked over as the two came up to them.

"Good morning, Iris, how'd ya sleep?" Inuyasha smiled.

"Juts fine, dad." She turned to Kouga. "How bout you, Ookami?"

"I'm fine, got more sleep than fox boy there." Kouga stretched.

A black shadow appeared behind the group, and it grabbed Iris, making her scream, catching her father and future mate's attention. The blur held the now out cold quarter demon in it's arms, and it took form of the firmiliar cat demon that they just wanted to kill. She smiled down at the group, and then started down at Iris.

"I have the dragon ring of life, and she won't be of any use after I get death." Kisara chuckled.

"Give her back, you bitch!!" Shippo pulled out the Tosaigua.

"Simple, you give me the death dragon ring, and I'll give you your lover."

"...."

"Shippo, give her that ring, I will seriously kill you." Kouga growled.

"Well, all you have to do is find my castle, and then, you give the ring to my servents. They'll give it to me, and then I'll give your precious daughter back, so don't try anything stupid while I have her, Inuyasha."

Kisara quickly disappeared into the forest, the teen quarter demon weakily looking up at the cat demon. A smile was platered on the feline's face, as Iris blacked out.

A/N:: Oh frick. now kisara got iris. doesn't that suck big time? inuyasha and shippo are going to kill her. well, hope you likey, r/r for now.
