Disclaimer: I'm friends with Rumiko…really! But I don't own him, not one bit of him…well actually I own all the DVDs and episodes on tape from the TV.

A/N: Okay, so a little supernatural turn here. Another reincarnation and I promised that Rumiyo would come back. This chapter…let's see…I don't think her father abuses anyone today, maybe the reincarnation whom I am not going to release the name just yet. So…here is the latest installment of Through Winters Gates!

Chapter 6: Reincarnated Wind Sorceress

Kagome breathed out as sigh as she leaned back in her chair. It was getting colder by the minute. She rubbed her cheek and felt the welt where her father had struck her. She winced yet again.

"I wonder is Inuyasha is alright…" she mused aloud as she stared out the closed window.

*--*--*

The hanyou crept out of the well house as slowly as he could. "I fell like a worthless human." He muttered as he clutched his chest out of habit as his wound repaired itself.

He walked slowly and undetected through the snow until he reached the kitchen window. Right above it was Kagome's window and her cozy room.

He set his face in determination as he pushed up. Reaching up from his jump he reached out to the windowsill when he was pulled down forcefully onto the tree branch scraping against the side of the house.

He landed in a sitting position, the branch between his legs. "O…" he held his breath as tears rolled down his cheeks. He closed his eyes and fell out of the tree. "Dislocated groin!"

*--*--*

The young miko stood as she walked over to her door. She pulled it open quietly and looked around. No one was in sight. Her father, from the sounds of it, was in the living room, probably drinking booze and watching the boob tube as he so frankly put it. It suited his watching needs, seeing that those were the only things he watched, porno and other adult situated television shows.

She sighed and closed out the sounds with her mind, humming loudly and walking as loudly as she could down the stairs. That signaled young children were about. She heard the volume turn down and the door slam loudly.

Kagome smiled triumphantly and walked normally into the kitchen where she watched her mother wash the dishes. She stood for a while until something odd caught her attention, something falling from the tree and a smack to the ground. There was a groan and it went silent.

"Kagome, dear, what was that?" her mother asked, turning to look her daughter in the eyes.

"Probably a bird." Kagome said innocently. Inuyasha, you idiot, she yelled in her mind as she turned to walk outside to see if he was alive from his injuries and a rather painful looking fall.

"Where are you going?" her father's voice came form the TV room.

"Outside."

"And catch pneumonia?" he said in a fatherly tone. "You are not going out there."

Phht! Like he would care, she growled in her mind. "Hai, oyaji." She muttered and turned on her heal. I'll take the window down to him.

"By the way…" he called after her, in a mischievous voice. "I barred the windows. There's supposed to be a very powerful storm a-comin'." He sounded like he was a smiling, maybe even laughing behind his hand as he said this.

Kagome clenched her teeth. "How smart of you, oyaji." She said.

Heading up the stairs she stopped with her hand on the railing. Wait…why is he even here? "Mama?" she turned and ran back to the kitchen.

"No running!" her father yelled.

Shut up!

"Mama!" she slammed the shoji shut making her Ji-chan finally acknowledged her presence.

"Kagome, don't shout, you want me to lose my hearing?" he whined as he looked over the paper and glared slightly at his granddaughter.

Kagome ignored him as she waked up to her mother. "Why?" she whispered fiercely.

"Why what, dear?" her mother asked absently as she put away a ceramic plate and turned to the next one on the pile of clean dishes.

"Why is he here?" Kagome asked in an exasperated tone.

"Who, Ji-chan? Ji-chan, you here, Kagome-."

"Not Ji-chan." Kagome growled as she slammed the cupboard door closed before her mother could put away another dish.

"Kagome-chan! Why are you acting so odd?!" her mother stared to get annoyed.

"Why is my…father…here?" she stressed on his proper label as she gave her mother a mild glare.

"He's reformed, Kagome! I promised the rehabilitation center that I would let him live here if it didn't happen again, and what happened to your face, dear? It looks like you got punched." Her mother was an airhead. Not the smart, knowing parent she had been during the 'family feud' times a few years back. Her mind had gone soft but Kagome's hadn't and neither had Ji-chan's or Souta's.

"Ji-chan, you know how I got this, right?" Kagome turned to her father with pleading eyes.

He returned her look with a sad one. "N-no, Kagome, I don't."

"Wha…" Kagome stared at him. She ran right up to him and pulled the newspaper out of his hands. "What's the matter, Ji-chan? Cat got your tongue? Say the right thing!" she whispered fiercely. She stopped as she looked at her hands. This isn't like me, she thought, this isn't like me at all. She blinked at her mother who was staring at her as if she had just said she was moving to the asylum down the street.

"This is hopeless…" she whispered, ever so quietly. "I tripped, Mama. That's all." she said regretfully as she turned and walked upstairs to her room.

*--*--*

Inuyasha sat up from his pain-spell and looked at the offending tree branch. Or where it was. He looked at black boots, petite in size and they looked very heavy. Looking upward he saw a woman with dark blue pants that disappeared into her black boots. She wore a red and blue Ancient Japanese overcoat with the design of Sakura blossoms just in bloom. Her shirt was a red haori, very heavy looking, that was tucked into her pants stylishly. Her waist was donned with a red sash. It had ornaments hanging off with different designs and colors. At her belt was something that surprised him into anger. A fan. He sniffed slightly. Kagura, he thought as he jumped up. He put his hand to his hilt and glared at the girl.

He gasped. She looked like Kagura, the face…sort of. She had her long black hair in a very tight braid, which trailed down her back and up to her waist. Her eyes were a crimson color but the one thing that wasn't Kagura's was the beauty mark under her left eye.

"Kagura?" he stared at the girl. She was fuming, the branch that had offending his personally space was snapped in half in her hands, her palms dripping with blood form the jagged pieces of wood impaled into her skin,

"That idiot! Why didn't she tell Mom!" the girl growled. Her voice was much smoother and seductive then Kagura's although it did still have the same enchantment as the wind sorceress's did.

"Who are you?!" he yelled at her finally.

She looked at him and blinked, finally acknowledging his presence. "Who are you? Weirdo." She muttered.

He growled at her and cracked his knuckles. "What do you want with Kagome?" he said in a dangerous voice.

She raised a delicately shaped eyebrow at him. "Oh? She must not have showed you who I was." She sighed as she pulled the fan off her belt and opened it as she waved in front of her face. "Hold on…I'm hyperventilating." She took deep breaths the snapped it shut. She pushed the fan tip to his chest and with one small push he was against the side of the house in a second. "I'm Kag-chan's sister, Rumiyo, you haven't heard of me? What a shame…" she turned and walked toward the front of the house. She stopped with her hand on the doorknob. "A wind sorceress."

Shorter chapter, I know. Oh well, I got her sister in didn't I?

Okay, so I hope no one hated that chapter. I was pissed off at something toward the end so if it shows just know that's the reason.

I think I might update every other day, I'm not sure…anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter!
