~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The pink light, held the key to her sight. Her fear grew with ever breath she could in hale, she could feel the emptiness, and sorrow that surrounded her. The darkness consumes her world, her mind wondered what dark magic this trick held but her mind could not draw a conclusion. The pink light grew stronger, as she sensed a presents draw near. Her hand fell heavy as she glazed down upon it. In her hand she held, an arrow stung to the bow ready to take fire.
Fear stuck her heart, sending chills down her spin to her ankles. Her head titled upwards, to meet the ghostly figure lingering in front of her. The lost of breath, shocked her whole body froze with fear. It moved closer, her aura strengthen afraid of what might happen she held tighter to the arrow. "w-what are you", she managed to stammered out. Her hands shook, uneasy she took another step back. The shadow denied to answer, in which cause her to panic. "who are you, answer me", her voice strengthen, as she took amine at the shadow that leeward towards her. The figure stopped it's gain upon her, her aura clamed down knowing it was safe now. "save us", it whispered and descended back into the blackness it called home, with out another word. "Wait!", she screamed out hoping to regain the shadow in attempts to have her answer's fulfilled. No such lucky was bestowed upon her, as she was left there in the darkness.
Her quicken breath sped up, the morning rain slowly dripped down her window sending a mind numbing coldness on to her back. She shivered, slowly her eyes greeted the morning, stirring for a moment she slowly started to sit up. "w-what was the about", she pondered trying to caught her breath knowing she had lost it earlier. She felt her heart, pounding in her chest, sweat dripped down washing her blankets and pillow. The fear was all she could think about, it was nothing like before. Her eyes moved to right to see the few drops of rain hit her window sill. She shuddered trying to shake the feel away, but it was like permanently set in her system.
Her tiny feet, mashed down upon the chilling wood floor. Taking a deep breath, she continued her pace. Struggling to reach the door than lend her into the hall, seem like a long difficult task. The morning sleepiness, still held a hold on her body as she finally made it the door. Her long black pants swooshing against the cold ground. Cracking the door just a little, she made her way out to the kitchen. A daft came screaming down the hall way, nearly giving the poor child a heart attack, from such cold. Her eyes darted to the open window in which the long purple silk curtains flowed up and down. Hurrying to close the window, she see her breath in the window and knew winter was not far away. "Damn it Kikyo, at least when you leave shut the windows", she muttered under breath as she continued her way on.
A light rap at the door, set Kagome's ears on fire. Just a light noise in the morning could kill the poor girl. Her head ached, "Who is it?", she called out holding her head. 'do you people understand how early it is', her mind lectured. "Kagome, it's Inuyasha!", the voice called back, sending Kagome flying down the hall to greet her best friend. Ignoring the numbing pain in her feet, caused by the floor she sped up quicker. Flying the door open she greeted her friend. "Hey Inuyasha", she tried to caught her breath. He raised an eyebrow, "right?, hey Kagome mind if I come in?", he asked already stepping his way in knowing he never needed a invite. She cocked a evil grin "who said you could come in puppy!", she snapped. He stepped back and looked at her "Well I did there little miko!", he snarled back. She couldn't take it any longer and busted out in a loud piecing laughter. Inuyasha smiled, and walked in Kagome lending the way.
"So Inuyasha wanna want?", she asked taking a seat in the living room, totally forgetting about her breakfast. He took a seat on the green silk chair that was placed by the fire place. He shivered "Aren't you gunna light that Kagome?", he asked pleading in his eyes. She nodded knowing his pled, that he was cold. She stuck the wood agian the side rail again until sparkles were set flying. Taking a seat agian across from Inuyasha she asked agian "what do you want Inuyasha", her voice more demanding than before.
He cocked his head to the side, "well fine Kagome, be like that?", he bellowed turning his head to the side so she couldn't see his grin. She raised an eyebrow, than grinned at the back of Inuyasha's "Fine Inuyasha Go!", she snarled. He quickly cocked his head back to meet her glaze, his mouth was dry. She busted out laughed at his queer expression. "Inuyasha I was joking, wow your a dumb puppy!", she laughed. He titled his head, and grinned mischievously "well Kagome know I'm hurt", he pouted his lips out. Kagome rolled her eyes as she felt the warm glowing fire crawl up her shoulders.
She closed her eyes taking in all the warmth, she could get. "Kagome?", Inuyasha knocked her out of her day dreams. "Huh?", she managed to spit out. He laughed "Do you wanna know why I came over or not?". "Oh yeah sorry!", she laughed nervously. "Well lady Keade said this morning she needed herbs and wanted to know if you would come with me to get some?", he asked pouting his lower lip out and making his puppy eyes. She rolled her eyes "yeah okay, give me like 10 minutes to get ready....Puppy", she laughed. "yeah yeah", he smiled.
Kagome walked down the hall way, leading to her room. She cracked her door open and began to change her clothes. Her battle gear, seeing as they were going to leave the village grounds. Her Black tang top, that wrapped around her body. With her dark blue shorts under, and the black and blue skirt to cover her. Matching with her black boots that went up to her knee caps.
Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail with a few strings of hair flaming her face. Grabbing her bow and arrows for the corner, than placing her two swords in the slash that tied her skirt to her. Completing the outfit she added her black rose in the side of the ponytail and headed towards the door.
"Yo!, Inuyasha I'm ready", called out Kagome fixing her boot strap. Inuyasha came walking down the hall, but stopped when he saw Kagome standing there. His mouth when to the floor. "Kagome?", he asked unsure that, that was his best friend standing there. "yeah what?", she cocked her head to the side. Inuyasha's mind snapped back to reality, "Oh nothing you ready?", he tried his hardest to stop the blush that threaten to consume this face. "yup!", she cheered and headed towards the front door. Inuyasha in haled the her sent as she walked past him. His heart leapt into his throat. 'damn teenage hormones', he cured his mind. He started his walk behind Kagome, making sure that he didn't have "any thoughts", along the way. Knowing Kagome and her miko powers she would sense something in his aura.
The earth was cold and black, and Kagome knew there was a storm last night. The breath of the morning crawled up her back as the wind blew. She could feel the pit began to form in her stomach, last night's dream had shook the poor girls senses. She held her stomach praying to God that everything was okay. "Kagome, are you okay?", asked Inuyasha he has seen her hold her stomach and began to worry. She turned back to him, with a fake smile plastered on her face. "Oh yeah, I just didn't have anything to eat this morning that's all", she reassured him. He nodded his head, Kagome continued her walk into the forest. She could feel the coldness and the emptiness the woods held. The morning dew dripped down her arm as she bushed up against a leaf hanging down for the tree. "Kagome, it would be easier it I just carried you there, Lady Keade told me the prefect place to find the right herbs", asked Inuyasha, he hated the forest it always held blackness and the deep burning memory's of his past. Kagome nodded her head, she knew Inuyasha couldn't stand to be out in the woods for more an hours straight and she didn't want him feeling sad about his mother's death.
In one swift moment Kagome was flying into the air, carried by Inuyasha. He held on to as if, she was to be dropped he would die. Inuyasha could feel her relax in his arms. It warmed his heart knowing that she could truth him that much. Kagome kept her eyes straight ahead of her, she really didn't mind Inuyasha carrying her he had done ever since they were little kids. Really the only thing that scared her was, the drops when Inuyasha would land it scared the living day lights out of her. Inuyasha grinned a boyish grin. He could feel Kagome tense up, and he knew she was thinking about when he would land or jump higher in the trees. He loved scaring her like that ever since he found that she was sacred of that.
Kagome fear grew as she saw the patch of herbs and knew Inuyasha would be landing soon, she held on tighter to her friend. Inuyasha looked down at the girl in his arms, he smiled she had her eyes closed and was clutching on to him for dear life. He shot down with all his force. Kagome turned a light shade of white, as she felt the pressure increase and knew there were dropping. He smashing into the ground, leaving a huge crater in he ground. Kagome loosen her tight grip on Inuyasha and set her feet on the ground. Inuyasha sighed with relief 'if she didn't let go of me I would of died, due to the lack of air', his mind told him self. Kagome glared at Inuyasha "you did that on purpose!", she snarled. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and walked past her to the bed of herbs "did not", he hissed back. Kagome also made it to the herb patch, she sat beside Inuyasha "did to!".
He turned his head he didn't want Kagome seeing the smirk that crawled all over his face. "Did not-", he was cut off he stared into the brushes. Kagome raised an eyebrow "Inuyasha?", she asked but was silenced. "Kagome, take aim at those brushes over there. I heard a rustle and I smell a demon in the air", Inuyasha took a another swift of the air and growled. 'It is a demon, but the scent is different i-it's only half', his mind raced with the impulse of questions. Kagome took aim as the area of the demon became present to her.
Inuyasha stepped protectively in front of Kagome. He cracked his claw, flexing them into a fighting stand. "Kagome, if it charges and I am not able to attack it. Kill it with your arrows", he warned. Inuyasha couldn't help but feel, pain yes that was it pain like when his mother had died it strung his heart. Pinning this angst into his stomach the brushes rustled again and then the figure lurched forward. 'Blood?', Inuyasha screamed. There was the scent of blood flowing from the demon. No matter he would protect Kagome from this threat no matter what. He took another step back readying him self to take charge. Kagome narrowed her eyes, fixed on the aura that peered forth. But something was wrong, the aura didn't feel as a threat. Then she took it like a blow to the head, it was injured she could the pain and pity overwhelming her now. She tighten her grip on her bow, she took a step back. Her eyes locked on the approaching figure. She kept her arrow still arched in case there was to be a fight.
Inuyasha flexed his claws, "What do you want?", he cried out demanding he hear a answer. The demon moved a little closer, than it's image became clear. It was a young girl, with blue hair and two little sliver pieces hanging in front of her face. She wore of blue rats fur. Her body was tore with scars and claw marks. Her blood dripped into the ground, creating a river of blood almost reaching Kagome's feet. She jumped back, than steadied her self again. The young girl, from what Kagome could see what in fact yes a hanyou. Inuyasha focused his eyes of the young girl before him. 'A H-hanyou l-like me', his mind scrambled over the words. The girl's eyes flashed into Inuyasha's she weakly smiled "I-Inuyasha?", she spoke so soft that he was almost unable to hear her. His mind snapped 'How does she know my name? Where did she come from? Did my mother know her?', his mind raced but was brought back when he heard the pluming noise. The girl had fallen face first into her own blood.
With a second to waste Kagome darted to the girl's side. Trying to add the fallen girl. "Inuyasha come on help me we have to take her back to Lady Keade, maybe she can help her!", raged Kagome. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow "Kagome!, we don't know anything about this demon she could be a trap by Naraku!", he snapped back. Kagome's face became redder than ever she glared "Inuyasha!, I am a miko I was trained to help anyone in need. All I know is that this demon is injured and needs are help and besides she knows your name and don't you wanna know how. Cause if she dies we will never know and ever if she is a trap set my Naraku we can use her to gather information on his were abouts", she snarled back. Inuyasha could only nodded at his best friends reply. He gathered the girl into his arms than Kagome took a seat on his back as he started back towards the village. 'Kagome, I sure hope your right', his mind pleaded.
Sango sat on her front door steps, 'Mother?', his mind pondered. She getting sicker by the day, and there's nothing I can do to help her. Silence tears began to form in her tears, she titled her head to the sky. Unable to look back at her front door, that when something caught her eye. "Inuyasha?", she raised an eyebrow, "what is he carrying?", she asked her self. She grabbed her Hiraikotsu, was it's position next to her and headed out to greet her on coming friend. She gained her speed as she watched the young hanyou land to the ground, she noticed Kagome slid off his back but kept her position behide him. "Inuyasha!, Kagome", screamed Sango gathering all her speed up to greet her friends. Kagome smiled "Hey, Sango!", she called back. Inuyasha gave no reply as he set the figure on to the ground. So many questions, controlled his mind he couldn't help but keep his glaze directed towards the young girl laying on the ground in front of him.
Sango stopped dead in her track, as she took in the figure landing on the ground. She raised her Hiraikotsu above her head to attack at any moment. Her eyes forced on Kagome that kept her glazed on Inuyasha that watched the girl on the ground. "Kagome?, what is that", Sango asked as she slowly began to walk over to the unconscious figure. Kagome sighed and set her eyes to the sky, unable to look at her friend. "I don't know Sango, Inuyasha and I were out getting herbs when we found her", started Kagome. "she knew Inuyasha's name", she added. Sango could sense the sadness the dripped from her words. 'I knew she liked him', her mind smirked. Sango shook her head, "Inuyasha?, what are you planning on doing with her?", she inquired. Inuyasha finding forced his attention to his friend.
"I plan to take her to Lady Keade and see what she can do for her, and if she is a plan formed of Naraku. I plan on getting some information out of her", he answered as she began to scoop up the girl. "Sango, do we think you could come with me to get my sister?", asked Kagome turning her glaze down upon Sango. "Sure, okay", she responded she could feel Kagome's jealous rage. She knew Kagome hated the thought of some one else being the center of Inuyasha's attention.
"Kagome, Sango? I am going to Lady Keade's hut now, see you there", called out Inuyasha as he raced towards the huts with his hanyou guiding him. Kagome began to walk, towards her own hut hoping to find her sister dwelling about. Sango quickly following her friend. Silence fell over them for a few minutes, which felt like hours to Sango than Kagome spoke. "I wonder how she knows Inuyasha's name?", she asked her self. Sango raised an eyebrow, "maybe she heard you over talking or something, she was hanyou after all well as far as I can tell", answered Sango, she adjusted her weapon to gently lay across her back. "Gez this weapon is getting harder to carry", she wined. Kagome laughed at her friends wine, "Sango your so weak", she joked as she rolled her eyes. "Oh yea.....", answered Sango. Kagome sighed her hut finally came into view. "I hope Kikyo is home", she prayed. Sango laughed, "when have you ever used those words in the same sentence before?", she asked holding another laugh back. "Never!", laughed Kagome as she began to enter the hut.
"Kikyo!", her sister called out. Silence, "Kikyo!, ya home there sister", Kagome screamed but was only answered by the silence. Kagome shrugged and sighed, "I guess princess left already, I suppose we should go to lady Keade's hut now", stated Kagome heading back out the door. Sango knew she friend was afraid to go to the hut in fear of what she might find out. Sango wouldn't say or show anything thing but she too were afraid and wanted nothing to do with this all. But Kagome and Inuyasha were her best friends and she wouldn't abandon them. Kagome slowed her pace as she walked towards the aid hut. 'Kagome, you don't have to go', one voice raged. 'Oh yes you do it could be a trap, and Inuyasha might need you', another voice snarled back. Kagome shook her head, 'Oh dear lord I think I am going nuts', her mind sighed. The aid hut came into viewing point as she sighed.
She noticed a blue and purple figure lingering into the hut. She growled "Miroku, you lech", she smacked him in the back of his head. The figure fell to the ground, flinching a few moments before moving agian. "Ouch! Kagome what was that for?", Miroku wined. "Because you were spying on the hanyou girl!", shirked Sango coming up behide Kagome. Kagome rolled her eyes "did you hear anything Miroku-chan?", she asked with her sweetness dripping into her words. A sweat drop formed over Sango's head. Miroku sat up "Don't try that I'm-cute-so-tell-me-what-I-want-to-know look Kage, I know you better", he glared playfully. "Yeah, whatever did you hear anything?", she asked again more demanding.
"No, nothing really just that you found the hanyou girl and that's it. From what Inuyasha said to Keade", answered Miroku. Kagome sighed, than walked into the hut with out another word. Miroku raised an eyebrow at Sango, "what's her problem?". Sango rolled her eyes "your so clueless Miroku- chan", she laughed and walked into the hut as well. "what!", wined Miroku following the girls into the hut.
Keade sat beside the bed, where the young girl laid being treated. Inuyasha sat in the corner with his leg crossed starring at the ground. "Lady Keade?", called Kagome stepping quietly into the hut. "Hai, child just the person I wanted to see. I understand that you were with Inuyasha when you found are new friend?", asked Keade keeping her forced on the girl she tended to. Kagome nodded her head as she took a set next to Inuyasha. Sango and Miroku entered the hut but said nothing only taking a seat. The young girl stirred for a moment before she opened her eyes. Sango immediately grabbed her weapon, which caused everyone else to forced on the girl. Kagome held on to her bow, Miroku kept his hand ready. Lady Keade smiled, "Hello child", she greeted with her warmest smile. The girl flinched, and huddled into the corner of the bed, her eyes grew big as her glaze met Inuyasha's. She weakly smiled "I-Inuyasha?", she stammered.
Everyone's mouth hung low, but no words were to be spoken. Until Lady Keade spoke up, "dear child I am Lady Keade the miko in these lands", she smiled than continued. "How do ye know Inuyasha's name?", she asked the question everyone was dieing to hear be answered. The girl sighed than forced her glaze to the ceiling as if she was trying to hide something. "D-Do really wanna know?", she cried out. Everyone nodded, she sighed again. "H-he's my brother", tears spilled from her eyes. The blow, spent Kagome to the floor. She couldn't believe it, 'when did Inuyasha have a sister, no it's not true I would know. No she's lying', she mind screamed. Inuyasha's went wide, he couldn't take it he closed his eyes trying to block out the stares he relieved from his friends. Lady Keade cleared her throat "Well child, how can this be?", she inquired. The girl flinched, "My name is Rain, and yes Inuyasha is my brother well actually my twin", she stopped to hear what they had to say but when no one spoke up she continued again.
"My m-mother left me with my father some time ago, when Inuyasha was born she said that she couldn't take care of us both. Just up until a few days ago, I lived happily with my father until he said it had come time for me to leave house and be come a real demon. That's when I was left in the forest shortly after that I was attacked by a demon, and left for d-dead", she took a breath after her speech. She didn't know how these people were gunna take her explanation so she waited. There eyes glued to her face, but she kept a stern expression to show that she was serious. Lady Keade snapped her finger which brought the children back from there state of shock. "Don't stare it's impolite", she scolded. The children nodded, Inuyasha still let his mouth drop. "Mother never told me about you", he finally spoke up. Kagome flashed her head in the direction of Inuyasha. Sango kept her on the girl called Rain, she clutched on to her Hiraikotsu. 'If this girl thinks she is gunna hurt my friends, she's got another thing coming', she smirked to her self. Miroku leaned against the wall, keeping an eye on Rain. Rain cleared her throat she could feel the stares. She knew that Inuyasha's friends would not take lightly to her arrival. "she did it to protect you Inuyasha, mother could not fend for both of us and feared you would look for us", she started. Inuyasha merely nodded his head, but lost all thought when Rain asked the question that blew his mind. "Where is mother?", she asked her eyes turning glassily. "I wish to see her again!", she cheered. Kagome's angry flashed, but she said nothing, only kept an eye on Inuyasha's face.
"As do I", he managed to grasp out. Rain's eyes flickered with tears, "what do you mean?", she cried out. "She's dead Rain, she died 6 years ago. Why do you think I live here?. I was only 5 and Lady Keade took me in. Didn't are so called father tell you, didn't he hear about it", he screamed. He tried to control himself but, his angrier and sadness got the better of him. He cocked his head to the side, unable to look at the people before him.
"Mother", cried Rain, she sat up against the wall sobbing her eyes out. "I- I can't believe it she was so strong", she howled. Inuyasha slowly turned his head back, "Rain?, she was strong and brave and she saved me, don't cry please", whispered Inuyasha. He sat on the bed, next to his so called sister. He wrapped his arms around her, and held her. "It's gunna be okay", he tried to smoothen her worries, but they were effort less seeing as she only sobbed harder in to her brothers shoulder. Lady Keade cleared her throat "Dear Rain, you are very welcome to stay here with us. Mind you that you are healed first", she offered. Rain merely smiled, though her tears. "Thank you Lady Keade that would be wonderful", she thanked. Than turned to the other children starring at her, "I know that you may not trust me right now, but I assure u I mean no harm", she smiled at them. Kagome lose her frown and smiled "its okay Rain we understand", cheered Kagome she to took a place on the bed and hugged her once enemy but now new friend. Sango loosen her grip on her weapon "sure rain your welcome to stay, it's just that you better be a good fighter to hang with me", she winked and stood up to greet her new friend.
Miroku slowly got up with out a word, "Rain welcome", he smiled and gave her a very friendly pat if ya know what I mean. "AHHHHHH!".
-SMACK!
Inuyasha smiled, at his friends "Rain or sister, this is Kagome", he pointed to the raven haired girl with the bow attached to her back. "that is Sango", he also pointed to the young girl with the huge bone boomerang that laid across her back. "and the boy you just smacked was Miroku", stated Kagome winking at Rain like it was the right thing to do. "Well children, I think it's time ye all leave I must tend to Rain's wounds", declared Keade. The children nodded, and said there good-byes to there new friend. "Rain?", spoke Inuyasha before leaving. "yes?", she responded. "promise me that you will tell me everything about my father later?', he asked also pleadingly. "sure brother", she smiled and laid back down for Lady Keade to tend to her wounds. Inuyasha nodded and left the hut. Mother why didn't you ever tell me about Rain, maybe than I wouldn't left so alone in the world as I did. Why?, pondered Inuyasha as he walked back to his hut, which he shared with Lady Keade.

The pink light, held the key to her sight. Her fear grew with ever breath she could in hale, she could feel the emptiness, and sorrow that surrounded her. The darkness consumes her world, her mind wondered what dark magic this trick held but her mind could not draw a conclusion. The pink light grew stronger, as she sensed a presents draw near.

The lost of breath, shocked her whole body froze with fear. It moved closer, her aura strengthen afraid of what might happen she held tighter to the arrow. "w-what are you", she managed to stammered out. Her hands shook, uneasy she took another step back. The shadow denied to answer, in which cause her to panic. "who are you, answer me", her voice strengthen, as she took amine at the shadow that leeward towards her. The figure stopped it's gain upon her, her aura clamed down knowing it was safe now. "save us", it whispered and descended back into the blackness it called home, with out another word. "Wait!", she screamed out hoping to regain the shadow in attempts to have her answer's fulfilled. No such lucky was bestowed upon her, as she was left there in the darkness.
Her quicken breath sped up, the morning rain slowly dripped down her window sending a mind numbing coldness on to her back. She shivered, slowly her eyes greeted the morning, stirring for a moment she slowly started to sit up. "w-what was the about", she pondered trying to caught her breath knowing she had lost it earlier. She felt her heart, pounding in her chest, sweat dripped down washing her blankets and pillow. The fear was all she could think about, it was nothing like before. Her eyes moved to right to see the few drops of rain hit her window sill. She shuddered trying to shake the feel away, but it was like permanently set in her system.
Her tiny feet, mashed down upon the chilling wood floor. Taking a deep breath, she continued her pace. Struggling to reach the door than lend her into the hall, seem like a long difficult task. The morning sleepiness, still held a hold on her body as she finally made it the door. Her long black pants swooshing against the cold ground. Cracking the door just a little, she made her way out to the kitchen. A daft came screaming down the hall way, nearly giving the poor child a heart attack, from such cold. Her eyes darted to the open window in which the long purple silk curtains flowed up and down. Hurrying to close the window, she see her breath in the window and knew winter was not far away. "Damn it Kikyo, at least when you leave shut the windows", she muttered under breath as she continued her way on.
A light rap at the door, set Kagome's ears on fire. Just a light noise in the morning could kill the poor girl. Her head ached, "Who is it?", she called out holding her head. 'do you people understand how early it is', her mind lectured. "Kagome, it's Inuyasha!", the voice called back, sending Kagome flying down the hall to greet her best friend. Ignoring the numbing pain in her feet, caused by the floor she sped up quicker. Flying the door open she greeted her friend. "Hey Inuyasha", she tried to caught her breath. He raised an eyebrow, "right?, hey Kagome mind if I come in?", he asked already stepping his way in knowing he never needed a invite. She cocked a evil grin "who said you could come in puppy!", she snapped. He stepped back and looked at her "Well I did there little miko!", he snarled back. She couldn't take it any longer and busted out in a loud piecing laughter. Inuyasha smiled, and walked in Kagome lending the way.
"So Inuyasha wanna want?", she asked taking a seat in the living room, totally forgetting about her breakfast. He took a seat on the green silk chair that was placed by the fire place. He shivered "Aren't you gunna light that Kagome?", he asked pleading in his eyes. She nodded knowing his pled, that he was cold. She stuck the wood agian the side rail again until sparkles were set flying. Taking a seat agian across from Inuyasha she asked agian "what do you want Inuyasha", her voice more demanding than before.
He cocked his head to the side, "well fine Kagome, be like that?", he bellowed turning his head to the side so she couldn't see his grin. She raised an eyebrow, than grinned at the back of Inuyasha's "Fine Inuyasha Go!", she snarled. He quickly cocked his head back to meet her glaze, his mouth was dry. She busted out laughed at his queer expression. "Inuyasha I was joking, wow your a dumb puppy!", she laughed. He titled his head, and grinned mischievously "well Kagome know I'm hurt", he pouted his lips out. Kagome rolled her eyes as she felt the warm glowing fire crawl up her shoulders.
She closed her eyes taking in all the warmth, she could get. "Kagome?", Inuyasha knocked her out of her day dreams. "Huh?", she managed to spit out. He laughed "Do you wanna know why I came over or not?". "Oh yeah sorry!", she laughed nervously. "Well lady Keade said this morning she needed herbs and wanted to know if you would come with me to get some?", he asked pouting his lower lip out and making his puppy eyes. She rolled her eyes "yeah okay, give me like 10 minutes to get ready....Puppy", she laughed. "yeah yeah", he smiled.
Kagome walked down the hall way, leading to her room. She cracked her door open and began to change her clothes. Her battle gear, seeing as they were going to leave the village grounds. Her Black tang top, that wrapped around her body. With her dark blue shorts under, and the black and blue skirt to cover her. Matching with her black boots that went up to her knee caps.
Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail with a few strings of hair flaming her face. Grabbing her bow and arrows for the corner, than placing her two swords in the slash that tied her skirt to her. Completing the outfit she added her black rose in the side of the ponytail and headed towards the door.
"Yo!, Inuyasha I'm ready", called out Kagome fixing her boot strap. Inuyasha came walking down the hall, but stopped when he saw Kagome standing there. His mouth when to the floor. "Kagome?", he asked unsure that, that was his best friend standing there. "yeah what?", she cocked her head to the side. Inuyasha's mind snapped back to reality, "Oh nothing you ready?", he tried his hardest to stop the blush that threaten to consume this face. "yup!", she cheered and headed towards the front door. Inuyasha in haled the her sent as she walked past him. His heart leapt into his throat. 'damn teenage hormones', he cured his mind. He started his walk behind Kagome, making sure that he didn't have "any thoughts", along the way. Knowing Kagome and her miko powers she would sense something in his aura.
The earth was cold and black, and Kagome knew there was a storm last night. The breath of the morning crawled up her back as the wind blew. She could feel the pit began to form in her stomach, last night's dream had shook the poor girls senses. She held her stomach praying to God that everything was okay. "Kagome, are you okay?", asked Inuyasha he has seen her hold her stomach and began to worry. She turned back to him, with a fake smile plastered on her face. "Oh yeah, I just didn't have anything to eat this morning that's all", she reassured him. He nodded his head, Kagome continued her walk into the forest. She could feel the coldness and the emptiness the woods held. The morning dew dripped down her arm as she bushed up against a leaf hanging down for the tree. "Kagome, it would be easier it I just carried you there, Lady Keade told me the prefect place to find the right herbs", asked Inuyasha, he hated the forest it always held blackness and the deep burning memory's of his past. Kagome nodded her head, she knew Inuyasha couldn't stand to be out in the woods for more an hours straight and she didn't want him feeling sad about his mother's death.
In one swift moment Kagome was flying into the air, carried by Inuyasha. He held on to as if, she was to be dropped he would die. Inuyasha could feel her relax in his arms. It warmed his heart knowing that she could truth him that much. Kagome kept her eyes straight ahead of her, she really didn't mind Inuyasha carrying her he had done ever since they were little kids. Really the only thing that scared her was, the drops when Inuyasha would land it scared the living day lights out of her. Inuyasha grinned a boyish grin. He could feel Kagome tense up, and he knew she was thinking about when he would land or jump higher in the trees. He loved scaring her like that ever since he found that she was sacred of that.
Kagome fear grew as she saw the patch of herbs and knew Inuyasha would be landing soon, she held on tighter to her friend. Inuyasha looked down at the girl in his arms, he smiled she had her eyes closed and was clutching on to him for dear life. He shot down with all his force. Kagome turned a light shade of white, as she felt the pressure increase and knew there were dropping. He smashing into the ground, leaving a huge crater in he ground. Kagome loosen her tight grip on Inuyasha and set her feet on the ground. Inuyasha sighed with relief 'if she didn't let go of me I would of died, due to the lack of air', his mind told him self. Kagome glared at Inuyasha "you did that on purpose!", she snarled. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and walked past her to the bed of herbs "did not", he hissed back. Kagome also made it to the herb patch, she sat beside Inuyasha "did to!".
He turned his head he didn't want Kagome seeing the smirk that crawled all over his face. "Did not-", he was cut off he stared into the brushes. Kagome raised an eyebrow "Inuyasha?", she asked but was silenced. "Kagome, take aim at those brushes over there. I heard a rustle and I smell a demon in the air", Inuyasha took a another swift of the air and growled. 'It is a demon, but the scent is different i-it's only half', his mind raced with the impulse of questions. Kagome took aim as the area of the demon became present to her.
Inuyasha stepped protectively in front of Kagome. He cracked his claw, flexing them into a fighting stand. "Kagome, if it charges and I am not able to attack it. Kill it with your arrows", he warned. Inuyasha couldn't help but feel, pain yes that was it pain like when his mother had died it strung his heart. Pinning this angst into his stomach the brushes rustled again and then the figure lurched forward. 'Blood?', Inuyasha screamed. There was the scent of blood flowing from the demon. No matter he would protect Kagome from this threat no matter what. He took another step back readying him self to take charge. Kagome narrowed her eyes, fixed on the aura that peered forth. But something was wrong, the aura didn't feel as a threat. Then she took it like a blow to the head, it was injured she could the pain and pity overwhelming her now. She tighten her grip on her bow, she took a step back. Her eyes locked on the approaching figure. She kept her arrow still arched in case there was to be a fight.
Inuyasha flexed his claws, "What do you want?", he cried out demanding he hear a answer. The demon moved a little closer, than it's image became clear. It was a young girl, with blue hair and two little sliver pieces hanging in front of her face. She wore of blue rats fur. Her body was tore with scars and claw marks. Her blood dripped into the ground, creating a river of blood almost reaching Kagome's feet. She jumped back, than steadied her self again. The young girl, from what Kagome could see what in fact yes a hanyou. Inuyasha focused his eyes of the young girl before him. 'A H-hanyou l-like me', his mind scrambled over the words. The girl's eyes flashed into Inuyasha's she weakly smiled "I-Inuyasha?", she spoke so soft that he was almost unable to hear her. His mind snapped 'How does she know my name? Where did she come from? Did my mother know her?', his mind raced but was brought back when he heard the pluming noise. The girl had fallen face first into her own blood.
With a second to waste Kagome darted to the girl's side. Trying to add the fallen girl. "Inuyasha come on help me we have to take her back to Lady Keade, maybe she can help her!", raged Kagome. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow "Kagome!, we don't know anything about this demon she could be a trap by Naraku!", he snapped back. Kagome's face became redder than ever she glared "Inuyasha!, I am a miko I was trained to help anyone in need. All I know is that this demon is injured and needs are help and besides she knows your name and don't you wanna know how. Cause if she dies we will never know and ever if she is a trap set my Naraku we can use her to gather information on his were abouts", she snarled back. Inuyasha could only nodded at his best friends reply. He gathered the girl into his arms than Kagome took a seat on his back as he started back towards the village. 'Kagome, I sure hope your right', his mind pleaded.
Sango sat on her front door steps, 'Mother?', his mind pondered. She getting sicker by the day, and there's nothing I can do to help her. Silence tears began to form in her tears, she titled her head to the sky. Unable to look back at her front door, that when something caught her eye. "Inuyasha?", she raised an eyebrow, "what is he carrying?", she asked her self. She grabbed her Hiraikotsu, was it's position next to her and headed out to greet her on coming friend. She gained her speed as she watched the young hanyou land to the ground, she noticed Kagome slid off his back but kept her position behide him. "Inuyasha!, Kagome", screamed Sango gathering all her speed up to greet her friends. Kagome smiled "Hey, Sango!", she called back. Inuyasha gave no reply as he set the figure on to the ground. So many questions, controlled his mind he couldn't help but keep his glaze directed towards the young girl laying on the ground in front of him.
Sango stopped dead in her track, as she took in the figure landing on the ground. She raised her Hiraikotsu above her head to attack at any moment. Her eyes forced on Kagome that kept her glazed on Inuyasha that watched the girl on the ground. "Kagome?, what is that", Sango asked as she slowly began to walk over to the unconscious figure. Kagome sighed and set her eyes to the sky, unable to look at her friend. "I don't know Sango, Inuyasha and I were out getting herbs when we found her", started Kagome. "she knew Inuyasha's name", she added. Sango could sense the sadness the dripped from her words. 'I knew she liked him', her mind smirked. Sango shook her head, "Inuyasha?, what are you planning on doing with her?", she inquired. Inuyasha finding forced his attention to his friend.
"I plan to take her to Lady Keade and see what she can do for her, and if she is a plan formed of Naraku. I plan on getting some information out of her", he answered as she began to scoop up the girl. "Sango, do we think you could come with me to get my sister?", asked Kagome turning her glaze down upon Sango. "Sure, okay", she responded she could feel Kagome's jealous rage. She knew Kagome hated the thought of some one else being the center of Inuyasha's attention.
"Kagome, Sango? I am going to Lady Keade's hut now, see you there", called out Inuyasha as he raced towards the huts with his hanyou guiding him. Kagome began to walk, towards her own hut hoping to find her sister dwelling about. Sango quickly following her friend. Silence fell over them for a few minutes, which felt like hours to Sango than Kagome spoke. "I wonder how she knows Inuyasha's name?", she asked her self. Sango raised an eyebrow, "maybe she heard you over talking or something, she was hanyou after all well as far as I can tell", answered Sango, she adjusted her weapon to gently lay across her back. "Gez this weapon is getting harder to carry", she wined. Kagome laughed at her friends wine, "Sango your so weak", she joked as she rolled her eyes. "Oh yea.....", answered Sango. Kagome sighed her hut finally came into view. "I hope Kikyo is home", she prayed. Sango laughed, "when have you ever used those words in the same sentence before?", she asked holding another laugh back. "Never!", laughed Kagome as she began to enter the hut.
"Kikyo!", her sister called out. Silence, "Kikyo!, ya home there sister", Kagome screamed but was only answered by the silence. Kagome shrugged and sighed, "I guess princess left already, I suppose we should go to lady Keade's hut now", stated Kagome heading back out the door. Sango knew she friend was afraid to go to the hut in fear of what she might find out. Sango wouldn't say or show anything thing but she too were afraid and wanted nothing to do with this all. But Kagome and Inuyasha were her best friends and she wouldn't abandon them. Kagome slowed her pace as she walked towards the aid hut. 'Kagome, you don't have to go', one voice raged. 'Oh yes you do it could be a trap, and Inuyasha might need you', another voice snarled back. Kagome shook her head, 'Oh dear lord I think I am going nuts', her mind sighed. The aid hut came into viewing point as she sighed.
She noticed a blue and purple figure lingering into the hut. She growled "Miroku, you lech", she smacked him in the back of his head. The figure fell to the ground, flinching a few moments before moving agian. "Ouch! Kagome what was that for?", Miroku wined. "Because you were spying on the hanyou girl!", shirked Sango coming up behide Kagome. Kagome rolled her eyes "did you hear anything Miroku-chan?", she asked with her sweetness dripping into her words. A sweat drop formed over Sango's head. Miroku sat up "Don't try that I'm-cute-so-tell-me-what-I-want-to-know look Kage, I know you better", he glared playfully. "Yeah, whatever did you hear anything?", she asked again more demanding.
"No, nothing really just that you found the hanyou girl and that's it. From what Inuyasha said to Keade", answered Miroku. Kagome sighed, than walked into the hut with out another word. Miroku raised an eyebrow at Sango, "what's her problem?". Sango rolled her eyes "your so clueless Miroku- chan", she laughed and walked into the hut as well. "what!", wined Miroku following the girls into the hut.
Keade sat beside the bed, where the young girl laid being treated. Inuyasha sat in the corner with his leg crossed starring at the ground. "Lady Keade?", called Kagome stepping quietly into the hut. "Hai, child just the person I wanted to see. I understand that you were with Inuyasha when you found are new friend?", asked Keade keeping her forced on the girl she tended to. Kagome nodded her head as she took a set next to Inuyasha. Sango and Miroku entered the hut but said nothing only taking a seat. The young girl stirred for a moment before she opened her eyes. Sango immediately grabbed her weapon, which caused everyone else to forced on the girl. Kagome held on to her bow, Miroku kept his hand ready. Lady Keade smiled, "Hello child", she greeted with her warmest smile. The girl flinched, and huddled into the corner of the bed, her eyes grew big as her glaze met Inuyasha's. She weakly smiled "I-Inuyasha?", she stammered.
Everyone's mouth hung low, but no words were to be spoken. Until Lady Keade spoke up, "dear child I am Lady Keade the miko in these lands", she smiled than continued. "How do ye know Inuyasha's name?", she asked the question everyone was dieing to hear be answered. The girl sighed than forced her glaze to the ceiling as if she was trying to hide something. "D-Do really wanna know?", she cried out. Everyone nodded, she sighed again. "H-he's my brother", tears spilled from her eyes. The blow, spent Kagome to the floor. She couldn't believe it, 'when did Inuyasha have a sister, no it's not true I would know. No she's lying', she mind screamed. Inuyasha's went wide, he couldn't take it he closed his eyes trying to block out the stares he relieved from his friends. Lady Keade cleared her throat "Well child, how can this be?", she inquired. The girl flinched, "My name is Rain, and yes Inuyasha is my brother well actually my twin", she stopped to hear what they had to say but when no one spoke up she continued again.
"My m-mother left me with my father some time ago, when Inuyasha was born she said that she couldn't take care of us both. Just up until a few days ago, I lived happily with my father until he said it had come time for me to leave house and be come a real demon. That's when I was left in the forest shortly after that I was attacked by a demon, and left for d-dead", she took a breath after her speech. She didn't know how these people were gunna take her explanation so she waited. There eyes glued to her face, but she kept a stern expression to show that she was serious. Lady Keade snapped her finger which brought the children back from there state of shock. "Don't stare it's impolite", she scolded. The children nodded, Inuyasha still let his mouth drop. "Mother never told me about you", he finally spoke up. Kagome flashed her head in the direction of Inuyasha. Sango kept her on the girl called Rain, she clutched on to her Hiraikotsu. 'If this girl thinks she is gunna hurt my friends, she's got another thing coming', she smirked to her self. Miroku leaned against the wall, keeping an eye on Rain. Rain cleared her throat she could feel the stares. She knew that Inuyasha's friends would not take lightly to her arrival. "she did it to protect you Inuyasha, mother could not fend for both of us and feared you would look for us", she started. Inuyasha merely nodded his head, but lost all thought when Rain asked the question that blew his mind. "Where is mother?", she asked her eyes turning glassily. "I wish to see her again!", she cheered. Kagome's angry flashed, but she said nothing, only kept an eye on Inuyasha's face.
"As do I", he managed to grasp out. Rain's eyes flickered with tears, "what do you mean?", she cried out. "She's dead Rain, she died 6 years ago. Why do you think I live here?. I was only 5 and Lady Keade took me in. Didn't are so called father tell you, didn't he hear about it", he screamed. He tried to control himself but, his angrier and sadness got the better of him. He cocked his head to the side, unable to look at the people before him.
"Mother", cried Rain, she sat up against the wall sobbing her eyes out. "I- I can't believe it she was so strong", she howled. Inuyasha slowly turned his head back, "Rain?, she was strong and brave and she saved me, don't cry please", whispered Inuyasha. He sat on the bed, next to his so called sister. He wrapped his arms around her, and held her. "It's gunna be okay", he tried to smoothen her worries, but they were effort less seeing as she only sobbed harder in to her brothers shoulder. Lady Keade cleared her throat "Dear Rain, you are very welcome to stay here with us. Mind you that you are healed first", she offered. Rain merely smiled, though her tears. "Thank you Lady Keade that would be wonderful", she thanked. Than turned to the other children starring at her, "I know that you may not trust me right now, but I assure u I mean no harm", she smiled at them. Kagome lose her frown and smiled "its okay Rain we understand", cheered Kagome she to took a place on the bed and hugged her once enemy but now new friend. Sango loosen her grip on her weapon "sure rain your welcome to stay, it's just that you better be a good fighter to hang with me", she winked and stood up to greet her new friend.
Miroku slowly got up with out a word, "Rain welcome", he smiled and gave her a very friendly pat if ya know what I mean. "AHHHHHH!".
-SMACK!
Inuyasha smiled, at his friends "Rain or sister, this is Kagome", he pointed to the raven haired girl with the bow attached to her back. "that is Sango", he also pointed to the young girl with the huge bone boomerang that laid across her back. "and the boy you just smacked was Miroku", stated Kagome winking at Rain like it was the right thing to do. "Well children, I think it's time ye all leave I must tend to Rain's wounds", declared Keade. The children nodded, and said there good-byes to there new friend. "Rain?", spoke Inuyasha before leaving. "yes?", she responded. "promise me that you will tell me everything about my father later?', he asked also pleadingly. "sure brother", she smiled and laid back down for Lady Keade to tend to her wounds. Inuyasha nodded and left the hut. Mother why didn't you ever tell me about Rain, maybe than I wouldn't left so alone in the world as I did. Why?, pondered Inuyasha as he walked back to his hut, which he shared with Lady Keade.
