For the millionth time that day, Myuka stopped to look at some flower or animal that had caught her eye. She pulled out a notebook and pencil and scrabbled something onto the paper. Inu-Yasha heard her running to catch up with him. Sighing, he held out hand. The notebook promptly landed in it. He looked at the new picture added to the page already covered in drawings of animals and plants.
"Isn't it cute?! I've never seen anything like it before! Oh look! There's another one!"
Snatching the notebook from Inu-Yasha's hand, Myuka stopped to make another sketch. A strong beam of light shone through the forest up ahead. Squinting, Inu-Yasha was able to make out a sunny clearing.
"Hey, runt!" he called. "Time for a break!"
"Coming!"
Inu-Yasha walked into the clearing and flopped down onto his back. He closed his eyes and let the mid-day sun warm his face. A rustling sound indicated that Myuka had entered the clearing as well.
"Hey, Inu-Yasha! You want some lunch?"
"What.?"
Realization hit.
"Gah! I completely forgot about food!! We don't have anything to eat!!!" Inu-Yasha shouted, jumping to his feet.
"Don't worry! I've got it taken care of!!" Myuka stated happily.
"What?"
"I have it taken care of!" Myuka repeated as she produced two cups of ramen from her backpack. "I also brought matches for a fire and a tea kettle to boil the water in! All we need now is some firewood and some water."
Inu-Yasha took the unspoken request and went to gather some firewood and water. It wasn't hard. All he had to do was walk into the forest and he was surrounded by firewood. He gathered together an armload of good- sized logs. He could also hear a stream nearby. He found it easily, filled the small teapot with water, and made his way back to the clearing. He set the logs and water down in front of Myuka. He watched Myuka's valiant yet futile attempts to light a match.
"Here. Let me do it," Inu-Yasha offered. He handily lit the match and threw it into the pile of logs.
"That was nice!"
"Yeah, well, I'm just hungry."
Inu-Yasha watched her make the rest of the preparations.
"What made you think to bring all that?" he asked.
Myuka turned to a different page in her notebook and once again handed it to Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha looked at the page.
"Blankets, sleeping mats, food," Inu-Yasha glanced over the list. "You really wanted to go on an adventure, didn't you?"
Myuka nodded giddily.
"So, what else do you have in here?" Inu-Yasha asked.
"You can look at it if you want," Myuka replied, turning her attention to the food.
Inu-Yasha flipped through the pages of the notebook. Most of them contained drawings of knights, heroes, and even demons. As he turned the pages, a picture fell into his lap. He picked it up to look at it. A sad smile crossed his lips. It was a picture of Myuka sitting on the lap of an old woman. Even with her aged appearance, Inu-Yasha could tell it was Kagome. The two were smiling at each other and they both looked so happy. Inwardly, Inu-Yasha was glad Kagome had been able to find happiness and wondered if he would ever be able to do the same, now that Kagome was-
"The noodles are ready!"
Sliding the picture back into the notebook, Inu-Yasha accepted the ramen from Myuka. He looked at the cup in his hands, thinking of all the times Kagome had brought ramen for him. Sighing he ate his noodles with a little less vigor than usual.
~
Inu-Yasha woke suddenly. He and Myuka were still in the clearing, but it was now mid-afternoon. He looked around suspiciously. Something had woken him.
"Heheh. Inu-Yasha AND the jewel. What a surprise."
Inu-Yasha turned around to find a bull-like demon just on the edge of the clearing.
"I thought you had been pinned to a tree by your lover. I also thought the jewel to be destroyed. Apparently I was deceived about both."
"What do you want?!" Inu-Yasha snapped.
"Are you really that dense, Inu-Yasha?"
Inu-Yasha clutched the lump under his kimono that was the jewel.
"Inu-Yasha, what's going on?"
Inu-Yasha looked behind him and found that Myuka had woken up as well.
"Nothing much. You just get to watch me beat the crud out of this demon, that's all. You go hide and watch."
Myuka nodded and ran off to find a tree to hide behind.
"Heheh. 'This demon', Inu-Yasha? Do you really think I came alone? Oh, no. I'm not taking any chances."
Inu-Yasha watched as twenty or so more demons came out of the forest to join the original demon.
"No problem! I can take all of you!" Inu-Yasha challenged
"We'll see about that!"
With that, all the demons charged at Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha quickly pulled out his Tetsusaiga. To his surprise, it didn't transform. He began slicing the demons to bits with his claws instead.
'Why won't the Tetsusaiga transform?'
Inu-Yasha was suddenly distracted by a scream behind him. He turned to see about three demons approaching the tree Myuka was hiding behind.
"Myuka!"
Within a second, Inu-Yasha was between Myuka and the demons and slicing the latter in half with the Tetsusaiga. Inu-Yasha stared at his now transformed sword.
'Of course! It didn't transform before because I was protecting the jewel, not Myuka.'
Inu-Yasha easily slaughtered the rest of the demons with the now transformed Tetsusaiga.
'Was that the demon? No, it was too easy,' he thought. 'These demons were merely sent to test my strength.'
"You were AMAZING!!!" Myuka squealed. "That demon was so cocky, but you showed him!!! Hecallsouthislittlearmyandhe'sall'We'lljustseeaboutthat'andthenyoustartedkil lingthemandthenthosedemonscameaftermeandthenyourswordgotallbigandyoukilledth emand-!!!! *GASP* Your sword!!!! Lemme see!!! Lemme see!!!!"
Inu-Yasha showed her his sword. By the time he was finished, he was still trying to figure out exactly what she had said. Suddenly, something caught his eye. It was a bow and arrow set that one of the demons had been carrying. Apparently, demons still used old weaponry. Inu-Yasha got an idea.
"Hey, kid! Ever tried archery?"
"No."
"Well, here's your chance!" Inu-Yasha handed Myuka the bow and an arrow. "Try it."
Myuka panted with excitement as she put the arrow on the string and prepared to fire. Inu-Yasha bit back his laughter at how ridiculous she looked. The bow was a good two inches taller than she was and though she had the string pulled back as far as she could pull it, the bow was hardly bent. Myuka released the arrow. It clattered to the ground about four feet away. Myuka started to cry.
"I can't do it!" she bawled.
Inu-Yasha found the remains of a smaller demon with a smaller bow. Bringing it over he exchanged bows with Myuka.
"Try this one," he said. "It's a bit smaller."
Myuka nodded and tried again with the smaller bow. It seemed to be the right size for her and she fired another arrow. This one landed about five feet away.
"Yay! I did it!" she exclaimed.
Inu-Yasha just kinda stared.
"Here. Let me see if I can help," he offered.
He knelt down behind her and placed his hands on top of hers. He helped her pull back the string, imitating the way Kagome had looked. They released the arrow. The arrow embedded itself into a tree. Myuka cheered, but something still didn't look right to Inu-Yasha. He walked over to the tree. On the other hand, it looked a little too right. The point of the arrow poked out on the other side of the tree.
'She's definitely Kagome's descendant,' he thought.
~
It was now nighttime. The two had remained in the clearing for the rest of the day while Myuka practiced her archery. She had gone to sleep some time earlier and Inu-Yasha had taken refuge in a tree, thinking to himself. A shuffling underneath the tree alerted him. He looked down. Myuka looked up. Inu-Yasha jumped to the ground.
"What do you want, kid?"
"I can't get to sleep. Could you come sit with me?"
Sighing, Inu-Yasha agreed. Myuka led him back to the clearing, wrapped herself up in a blanket and proceeded to sit on his lap, much as he had seen her do with Kagome in the picture he had found.
"Will you tell me a story?" Myuka asked.
"I can't. I don't know any stories."
"You could tell me a story about the adventures you and Grandma Kagome had together."
"Yeah, but that'd take a really long time."
"But we have time now, right?"
"I guess so."
"So tell me."
"Okay, but first you'd have to know about Kikyo."
So Inu-Yasha began telling her about his adventures, starting with how he had been betrayed by Kikyo. He decided to tell it exactly how he had experienced it, so he left out Naraku for the time being. He told her about being pinned to a tree and how Kagome had released him. He told her about how he had tried to kill Kagome. He told her about his prayer bead necklace and the first time Kagome had said 'sit'. Myuka giggled about that. About the time he got to Kagome breaking the jewel, Myuka fell asleep. Inu-Yasha gently lifted her off his lap and set her down on her sleeping mat. At that moment, Inu-Yasha felt as if he had been the one to spend his life with Kagome and that this was his daughter. That would be the role that he would play now. She didn't have a family anymore and Inu- Yasha would have to be the one to look after her. And for some reason, it didn't bother him that he would have to do this. He gently traced Myuka's sleeping features.
"Good night, my little child."
