Disclaimer: I can barely afford to pay attention.
AN: Thanks for reviewing everyone! Hope you like this next chapter! Keep in mind that the last one was just the prologue so it was a lot shorter than my actual chapters. Ok! On with it! Oh, and last chapter, I called the sister Icara? It's actually Icari, sorry bout that.
Icari
Chapter 1
"You two have grown so very much, haven't you? We gotta catch up, it's been, what? Ten years or so?" The two brothers stuttered and checked the woman carefully.
Her dog ears were a lot smaller than Inuyasha's and they were just above her temples. She had the purple-ish markings on her face like Sesshomaru's, and her hair seemed to only go just below her shoulders. Her eyes were also golden like Inuyasha's, but she had the older brother's cresent between her eyebrows. Her skin was a cross between the pale Sesshomaru and the dark Inuyasha. But she had one thing the two didn't, a very nice grin that never seemed to leave her face. But it could've also been because she had just found her family.
"S- sixty-three years." Inuyasha and Sesshomaru said together, than glared at eachother.
"Okay, so I was off by fifty, but, wow! Was it really that long?" Her eyes widened in amazement. behind her, Miroku and Sango were building up a fire they had had going. Kagome stepped up behind Inuyasha hesitantly.
"Excuse me for interrupting, but, we're kinda left out of this..." Icari turned to the girl by Inuyasha and pulled her face to look at hers straight in the eye. she was more than a little surprised when Inuyasha looked like he was going to try and stop her. Frowning, she tried to recall the name of this young woman; she was sure she had heard of this one.
"I'm sorry... Kikyou, right?" Much to her surprise, the raven-haired girl made a sound at the back of her throat, and spat at her, causing Icari to let go. She had deadly aim; it got her in the face.
"I'm... Not... Kikyou." Icari wiped the liquid off of herself and grinned from ear to ear, causing the other one to look at her oddly.
"Apparently you aren't. I never liked the sound of that one anyways, didn't have the spunk I would've expected in my little brother's girlfriend. But, you really shouldn't spit on a full blood demon, you might get hurt." She laughed. amused as she watched the other girl roll her shoulders.
"Stupid girl. You know that." That was when Icari saw the most interesting thing. The girl yelled something and her brother came crashing down into the ground. She laughed and waited for her brother to get up before questioning.
"Hey cool, what was that? Can I do it? Does Sesshy have one?" She clapped excitedly as her brother growled at her. Icari watched as the other girl giggled a bit. But then she questioned herself in her head 'Why'd Inuyasha call her a stupid girl? Aren't they Mates?'
"My name's Kagome. That was the enchanted necklace around his neck, everytime I say, Osuwari!" There was a crash and she laughed out loud. "He does that. I'm the only one who can do it, or else he'd be eating a lot more dirt by Shippo, and no, Sesshomaru doesn't have one, but if you want, Kaede-baba can get one on him too..."
"Oh no!" It was very unsuspected from Sesshomaru, and everyone turned to him, surprised. "Little sister, I'll behave, as long as you don't sitck. One. Of. Those. One. Me!" Icari fell over laughing at his outburst.
"Big brother, I'm only keeping it in mind. I wouldn't do that to you if you behave." She giggled and stood up. "But remember, try to hurt Inuyasha too much and I will stick one one you." She pointed an accusing finger at her brother and looked at him crossly.
"Wait, so you're their middle sister?" Sango was standing beside them and gesturing to the two brothers. Icari nodded. "Oh, and I'm Sango, nice to meet you. So, since you're a youkai, not a hanyou, I'm guessing you're from Sesshomaru's family?"
"Yeah. First, Sesshy was born, than me. After that, Father went off and, umm, made Inuyasha. Our families lived together for a while, our mothers rather neutral about the situation. Of course they didn't like the fact that Father wasn't completely loyal to them, but they liked eachother. So when Father died, we stayed together. Sess, unlike my mother, hated all humans because Inuyasha's mother was one. So he tried to kill Inuyasha a few times, but I liked the poor little hanyou, so I protected him. Sesshomaru wouldn't hurt me, I'm his little sister. After that, I was supervising as the two walked out in the fields, but I was attacked. It was a bear demon, that swallowed me whole. Sometime after that, while I was still young, I cut the thing open from the inside, and went looking for my brothers. What happened to my brothers, I still need to find out." She explained to them, ticking off the events on her slender claws.
"Well," It was Sesshomaru who began talking. "after you were supposedly killed, I ran home and told Mother about it. She, knowing that I tried to kill Inuyasha at times, talked to his mother, and convinced her to move out, I guess. After that, she raised me alone, until she died. That's when I left, and began to search for Inuyasha, Tetsusaiga, and, I suppose, you. Then I met Jaken and later, Rin." He gestured to the two and Icari looked at them, her eyes slowly widening.
"Oh! Cute!" She ran to the little girl with a small ponytail sticking out of her head. She startled the gril when she crouched right in front of her. "You're Rin? Aren't you adorable!" her claws went through the little ponytail and down her hair. Little Rin giggled a bit, but continued to sit and watch Sesshomaru. "Awful Quiet for a little girl." She then walked up to Sess and whispered in his ear. "She's awfully young, you haven't..."
There was only a moment of silence before the eldest Inu began to sputter. Inuyasha smirked. "What!? I would never, I couldn't I- I..."
"Okay, okay big brother, no need to spaz!"
"Spaz?" everyone except Kagome looked at her oddly.
"Ummm.... Never mind. So, Inuyasha, what have you been up to?" she gestured to the people that stood a bit farther to her little brother's side than Sesshomaru's. "I see you've met quite a few people."
"Pretty much the same as him up until we moved away. She took care of me until she died too, but a wandered Japan aimlessly. Then I heard of The Shikon Jewel and it's powers, started looking for it, fell in love with Kikyou, got pinned to the tree, Kagome freed me, found out she was Kikyou's reincarnation, searched for Jewel shards, met up with the other four..."
"Four?" she then smack the side of her neck, and something small fell off of it. The little flea demon groaned and all eyes turned to him. Inuyasha pointed to Shippo, Miroku, and Sango, numbering them off as one, two, and three. then, when The flea demon popped out of the ground, he pointed straight to the little thing.
"And that's four, Myoga." Icari bent down and examined the little guy.
"Does he do that much?" She gingerly picked him up by a leg and held him infront of her face, while scrunching it up in digust. "Funny how the punier they are, the more annoying they are."
"Hey!" Shippo stood with his legs spread open and his hands balled and resting at his hips. He puffed out his little chest and huffed. "I'm not annoying!" Icari took one look at him and threw the flea demon away, instantly bounding over to the little kitsune.
"Hey, this one's adorable!" She picked Shippo up and swung him around in the air. "He's just a kitsune!" Then her claws brushed through his tail. "And what a lovely tail! Really bushy!" Kagome giggled and ran over to thw two, her fear of the young woman slipping away. Shippo was handed over to her as Icari got bold and picked up Rin, and began playing with her.
"What are you two little kawaii things following my brothers for?" She tickled the little girl a bit. "I bet they don't even know how to take care of you." Shippo cried in agreement, but Rin shook her head.
"Master Sesshomaru takes very good care of me. I haven't been hurt much since I started coming with him, and he once revived me." All heads turned to look at the older brother but only to find he had gone in hiding up in a tree. "Oops, I shouldn't of said that. He doesn't like it very much when I say he's kind." They all laughed and Icari set the little girl down.
"I'm going to drag him out of that tree, Inuyasha, you want to come?" In response, the young hanyou huffed and looked away, crossing his arms as well. "Guess, not, behave you guys! Kagome, sit him for me if he starts trouble." She winked and Kagome laughed. After the Youkai had left, Inuyasha went and sat behind a tree, trying to keep everyone out of his sight.
'I wonder why he's so moody. He just found his sister.' Kagome looked away as she leaned against the same tree and played with both Rin and Shippo. That little girl never really did seem like the 'bad guy' type anyways. Not that she was a guy...
There was already a fire burning in the middle of the grove, and everyone began to drift off. Kagome gave Rin her sleeping bag and walked off to find the brooding Inuyasha. She heard a loud crash and figured that Icari had succeeded in her little 'mission'. There was slight cursing as she walked around the tree and looked up. Inuyasha wasn't there.
"Looking for someone?" She nearly jumped out of her skin when he said that. Why did youkai and hanyous have to be so quiet?
"Inuyasha! Don't do that! You're going to give me a heart attack someday." She whirled around to face him, but she nearly gasped in shock. His silver hair was now black. Was it already a full moon?
"You look like you've never seen me like this before. You had better keep better track of time if you want to seem strong around me." He looked off in the distance and watched his siblings fight.
"Inuyasha, you shouldn't be out here in your human form. Come back to camp." She left, tugging at the necklace as she went, and he begrudgingly followed. Icari and Sesshomaru stopped at the sight of him.
"Oh, full moon already Inuyasha?" Icari smiled and held Sesshomaru back from saying anything to her little brother. Inuyasha nodded and walked towards the three Sngo, Miroku, ans Shippo were sleeping under. Myoga couldn't exactly be seen.
"Kagome, you're sleeping beside me tonight, I don't trust Sesshomaru." Holding her around the shoulders, he sat down at the foot of the tree and made her sit beside him.
"Inuyasha," Kagome struggled a bit against him, careful not to wake anyone else. " I doubt your brother will try anything with Icari here..."
"He's rose my mother from the dead, I bet he'd have no problem with this." Inuyasha's ears made a twitching sound as he heard stomping, and lighter, quicker footsteps behind that one.
"I would never play this trick on anyone, not even you! My sister is precious to me, I wouldn't dishonour her in such a way!" His hands went from pointing at himself to Icari, than himself again as he said it.
"Icari is precious to me too, and you know that. You once said yourself that you would do anything to get the Shikon Jewel, at whatever costs. It's been a while, maybe you have become desperate." Kagome tugged his arm off of her, which had never removed itself from around her shoulders.
"You have said the same thing. You've even gone as far as using a little miko to detect it, and bringing along other disgraces to help you protect yourself." He gestured first to Kagome, than to the three stirring in their sleep.
"And what of you? You have you're little crew too."
Sesshomaru grabbed Inuyasha's collar and pulled him right up to his face. Then he hissed. "I have been taking care of these people. The only one you take care of is that miko and only because she can detect the shards."
"You don't know anything about me." it was so quiet, Inuyasha wasn't even sure that his own sister had heard him with her youkai ears, no matter how much she strained.
A hand grabbed both of them and yanked them apart. "Enough you two! You're going to wake the others." Icari was holding sesshomaru by herself and scolded him after dragging him a bit off.
"You know better than to let him get to you, Inuyasha." Kagome was the one who had pulled him away, and scolded him too. But there was something wrong with her, he noted, something that made her feel different.
When he was let go, Inuyasha was amused to find that Icari was standing over his half brother, guarding him like she used to when they were kids. Kagome walked boldly after her before Inuyasha could say anything. So instead, he sat at the bottom of the tree watching everyone carefully.
"Icari?" Kagome tugged on the cloak of Inuyasha's sister, since she had refused to take it off. When the youkai turned to her, she motioned with her head that they should go for a walk.
"Is there something wrong, Kagome-sama?" She looked down at the girl worriedly, wondering why she had wanted to talk to her so badly.
"Please, just call me Kagome." Icari nodded and waited for her to continue. "I was just wondering if you had happened to hear the last sentence Inuyasha said to Sesshomaru. I saw his lips move, but I couldn't hear anything."
Icari thought for a moment. "Honestly, I didn't. But, why are you worried?" She looked at the young miko carefully, she did look a lot like the miko she had run into all those years ago... but that one was a mere mortal, there was no way she could've stayed like this that whole time.
"Well, Sesshomaru's words always had the slightest bit of truth in them, you know?" She nervously played with her little shirt and Icari smiled. This girl obviously had feelings for her little brother.
"Don't worry about it. Sesshomaru would do anything to win, most of the time, and you can't always trust him. Onii-chan just really dislikes Inuyasha; his pride often gets the better of him." She laid a comforting hand on the girls back and was rather surprised when she smiled back.
"I've said it before, but, in a lot of ways, Inuyasha is like his brother, but there are so many ways he's not too." She then looked curiously at Icari. "And, I thought that youkai had both a human form, and a demon form. Why do you have demon ears?" She felt them lightly to show Icari what she meant.
"What? Oh, oops, I must've made a mistake in the transformation." She stepped away from Kagome and stood, with a hand held outwards and a staff that Kagome had never noticed before, held infront of her. Closing her eyes, Icari concentrated a bit before opening them upruptly. A giant wind covered her body, but disappeared quickly.
"They're gone, right?" Kagome nodded and Icari broke out in a grin. Her ears were now on the sides of her head and shaped like normal human ears.
"Are you ever going to take off that cloak?" She couldn't help it, that grin was infectious. She began to grin too as they walked back.
"Hey, hey, don't push it now." They joked and talked all the way back to the grove, where both brothers sat staring at each other, waiting for the two women to come back.
"Kagome." Inuyasha motioned to his side, where he had held her down earlier. Kagome rolled her eyes at Icari and walked over to the boy, sitting down obediantly. Trying to give him space, she sat to his side and fell asleep after only a few moments.
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru sat glaring at the other for hours after the last women had fallen asleep, before slowly drifting off themselves.
