Before you were Born
Chapter 1
Surprises
SANGO
I already knew the answer so I wasn't upset when Kouga ignored my question and just stood there, staring. He had been in a funny mood lately. I suppose he had already decided about his sister and was – what? Nervous? Excited? Apprehensive? There was a good chance he hadn't seen her in 50 years. No more time to think. She's landing.
Her tornado was about a foot higher then Kouga's but she stepped out of it gracefully. You might even say daintily except nothing about her was dainty. Miroku didn't have to worry, she wasn't pretty she was beautiful. She looked like Kouga. She was taller then him but she had the same dark brown hair in a ponytail, except hers had some kind of ribbon twisted around it, not a braid but something like it. They had almost the same facial features except she had a beautiful smile that Kouga lacked. Her clothes were like his, but she wore sandals. Another difference was her eyes. Kouga has proud, smoky brown eyes, but hers were a bright, piercing green.
She smiled, "Introduce me to your friends."
Kouga started talking but I didn't hear. What would Miroku think of her? Why do I care! I'm not in love with him. He's a pervert! And he flirts with ever girl he sees! So why do I have such a funny feeling in my stomach?
SHIPPOU
"...and this is dog-turd." finished Kouga.
Lyyra, as she had been introduced grinned, "also known as..."
"Inuyasha," muttered the dog demon.
"He's just a jerk," I said, "Don't pay any attention to him. Or Miroku. Miroku's a pervert."
Her eyes darted over to the monk, but before she could say anything Inuyasha interrupted, "We need strong people helping us. You need to prove that you can fight."
"If you mean by fighting you, sure."
That obviously wasn't what he had meant so I decided to encourage him, "Come on Inuyasha," I said, "Everyone knows how weak a hanyou is so it won't be too humiliating when you lose!"
"Barehanded," said Inuyasha.
KAGOME
I admit I was worried that he would kill her with Tetsusaiga. "That's so nice of you Inuyasha!"
He muttered something in response that wasn't very nice. Then he stepped forward just as she was dropping her sword.
They looked at each other, waiting. Inuyasha attacked "Blades of Blood!" she ducked and kicked at him. The next thing I knew they were on the ground scratching at each other. They were both a lot bloodier when they got up. Then martial arts. A tooth just missed hitting me.
Finally Miroku said, "It's obvious she's good enough. Now before you kill yourselves, STOP FIGTING!"
I sighed inn relief, they weren't too badly hurt and they were both smiling. Lyyra brushed hair out of her face and said "Kouga tell the tribe I'm here. I'll go up to the caves in a second, but first I'm going for a swim." With that she dove into the water and was gone. A second later I saw her form far away.
Before Kouga left I asked him, "Lyyra isn't a Japanese name, is it?
"No. Father had just been in other countries when she was born. I'm not sure where he got it from." Then he, too, was gone.
KOUGA
As I expected everyone was happy to see her. Even the ones she didn't know.
"You are Kouga's big sister?"
"I can see the resemblance."
"I thought you'd look older."
"Tell Kouga to let us help fight!"
I replied to that one "I'm not letting you help fight because so many were lost when they ran off to go get the Shikon shard with our northern neighbors."
"Then why are you fighting?"
"Because I almost killed Inuyasha."
Lyyra who had stayed silent through this whole exchange called out "Ayame!" they always had a special friendship, partly because both their mothers died when they were young. Lyyra was almost a second mother to Ayame, they got along so well. I liked Ayame but she always seemed to be staring at me.
INUYASHA
"Well that was nice of her" said Miroku.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"She gave us time to talk about her. Purposely, if I don't miss my guess, which I don't very often."
"Oh yeah?" I said, "What about the time you told me to get captured by the birds of paradise because you thought they were allies of the wolves."
"Well-"
"And what about the time that you-"
"That is all behind me now. I suggest we use this time to discuss her instead of fighting."
There wasn't much I could say to that without having Kagome yell sit, so I just scowled "She seemed nice to me."
"I don't know," said Shippou, "I smelled something funny about her."
"What do you mean, funny?" asked Myouga before he landed on my neck. I slapped him before he started sucking blood.
"Well, I'm no exactly sure. It's like she wasn't totally a wolf demon or something."
"I didn't smell any thing weird."
"That's because you're going human."
"Shut up kid." Sango broke in "I agree with Shippou. Not that she smelled weird, but the way she was fighting was a way I've never seen before. Mixing up different styles, including some that are new too me. I'd like to learn from her."
"But," said Miroku "You said you agreed with Shippou."
"I do."
We kept talking late into the night and I didn't notice as much when I became human.
It was dark when a voice from beside me said, "So, Inuyasha, it appears that we are alike."
I spun around. A human was standing there. Black hair, green eyes. "Lyyra?" I asked.
She nodded.
