Chapter 6: Hello again Feudal Era Japan.
Ruinu sat on the bench her feet aching from walking home from school. She sat more people from the best university trying to convince Kinme to join their school. But like all the others Kinme turned them down. I kept going on like this ever since Kinme said something that was in college level at the age of 6 he was now 18 but still he was getting smarter by the minute.
"I'm sorry but I don't want to go to collage right now." Kinme said to them and ran over to Ruinu. "Hey Ru! How was your day at school?"
"Fine, more people from different collages came today?" She said seeing all of the men and women there.
"Yeah, there are even some from China, Europe, Canada, Russia, America, and pretty much everywhere. I guess I shouldn't have said that to the teacher during Math class huh." Kinme said to her feeling sheepish.
Ruinu and Kinme were cut off from their conversation when a bunch of girls were coming toward their house. They knew that Inume was finally home from School. He was the most popular, sports, and best grades guy there.
"Finally you're home Inume. Mom was looking for you an hour ago. Because that is when your school gets out. Where were you." Inume sighed and said to him.
"I know, I know. We're supposed to be packing."
"Where are you going Inume?" Said one of the girls.
"I have to go back to America today. Sorry girls maybe when I visit we can all go out for Ice cream. How does that sound?" All the girls fainted when he said that.
"Inume! Why weren't you home at the exact time I told you to be?" Kagome came out scolding her eldest child. "I can understand Ruinu being late but you... That's ridiculous! Go inside your father wants to see you." Inume gulped, his mother scolding him was ok... but his father! Now that was worse than 84 sits combined.
"Oh and girls you might want to get to your homes before I get furious." In a flash they were gone. Inuyasha stepped outside to see his wife out there."
"Inume?"
"Y...Yes m.. mother?" He asked worriedly.
"SIT BOY!" With a painful thud all three men went to the ground. Because of their prayer beads.
"What did I do mom?" Kinme said to her.
"Will you cut that out Kagome?" Inuyasha said to her.
"Yeah mom... cut that out." Kagome was furious right now.
"I'm sorry guys but Inume deserved it. And I gave all three of you the same subduing spell?" She smiled sheepishly.
"Oh well... Lets get back to packing! Everyone!"
"You know Kagome. We have stayed here for twelve years instead of 2." Inuyasha said grumpily.
"Hey it was you who wanted to stay here. Besides we're going back to the feudal era tomorrow. So stop complaining and star packing.
A while later.
"Ah isn't it great being back in the Feudal era?" Kagome said to her family.
"Yeah I guess so." Inume said to her.
"But first we have to get rid of all the demons that have taken over our castle." He said actually winking at Ruinu. Ruinu gulped and wondered. 'Am I ready yet to take on hundreds of demons?'
Kagome gave her a bow and a few arrows. She touched one arrow and put a tiny bit of her miko powers into it. And then the family went off to their castle.
At the castle
"The sacred jewel must be around here somewhere!" Exclaimed on of the demons.
"You demons really are as stupid as you look." Inuyasha threw a log at the beasts. And then backed off.
"What's the matter Inuyasha? You hanyou! Are you afraid to face us?" Exclaimed one of the insect demons.
"Nope. I'm not afraid of anything," He smirked at the worthless demons that stood before him. "I'm just letting my kids have a workout!" He moved out of the way and it showed the trio of children.
The demon started to laugh like a maniac. "Don't make me laugh! These are the three children of Inuyasha! I can't believe it... Your eldest is but a quarter demon! And your middle is nothing but a hanyou like you!" A jolt of power came from the two that the demon made fun of. "What? How could weaklings like you have immense powers like this!"
Kinme smirked and started laughing. He looked over to his elder brother. "I guess that old saying was right! You can't judge a book by its cover! Shall we show them how it is all done?" Inume smiled at his younger brothers show of bravery he also had a hint of surprise in his look. But immediately changed it to a smirk.
"Yes Kinme. Lets show them just how our powers are more then what they seem." Inume pulled out his sword and made it so the sharp blade was going to be in use. Kinme pulled out his sword and turned it into a position that was a technique that he picked up from his great grandpa. Out of one of the old books in the Antique Shop.
"What about her! Why won't she fight?" Said one of the demons. Ruinu looked up at the demons with an evil look on her face. But then changed it into an uninterested look and sat near a tree.
"Hey you! Stand up and fight!" Ruinu smirked at them. And just started to ignore them.
"You demons are weaklings. My brothers could kill you even if they were drained of their demonic powers.
"Us the weaklings!" The demon started laughing again in that way that annoyed and disgusted Ruinu. "I can sense you! You are nothing more than a priestess in training. Your demonic powers are nothing compared to the masters." Ruinu's eyes went orange with fury! The demon finally sensed her powerful demonic powers.
Suddenly a huge boomerang came through the trees. And someone yelling "Hiraikotzu" Inuyasha and Kagome looked back and with happy faces saw their friends and their family.
"Sango! Miroku! How have you been! Wow it's been a long time since I've heard those words!" Sango looked at them with a wondering look on her face. Then she chuckled.
"That wasn't me who threw the Hiraikotzu! That was Miro." She said pointing to her youngest son. He was wearing a demon slayer outfit. It looked like Kohaku's outfit with green on it. Miro then caught his weapon by putting up his hand. Kagome saw on the side the weapon of Kohaku's. The scythe on the chain.
"Um... Kagome isn't that Ruinu?" Miroku questioned his friend. Kagome turned around and saw that Ruinu had taken her bow and all of her arrows.
"Ruinu!" Kagome started to run after her but unfortunately was stopped by Inuyasha putting his arm in the way.
"Let Ruinu go. She can handle all of these demons. Inume and Kinme will go and kill all the spare demons and Ruinu will go after their leader. Hey Miro! I have a special job for you!" Miro had a shocked look on his face but bravely went up to Inuyasha.
"Yes Lord Inuyasha?" He asked still with that brave look on his face. Inuyasha liked this kid. He actually guts.
"Miro? I want you to go and take care of Ruinu. Make sure that she doesn't get hurt or poisoned." Miro bowed and put on his poison proof mask. And went into the castle.
Inside the castle
Ruinu searched in every room of the house but no luck. She searched everywhere for the Lord of all these demons. Or the person that was controlling them. She searched her room, Inume's room, Kinme's room, her parents room, the kitchen, the gallery, the library. There was only one more place to check. The throne room. She hurriedly zoomed off to find the throne room. And she found it. She went inside the room only to find the nightmare of her dreams.
Miro
Miro hurriedly zoomed around the castle to find Ruinu. But Lady Luck wasn't with him today. He heard a scream coming from the middle of the castle. He recognized the scream. It was Ruinu's. It meant that she was in danger. He hurriedly went to the Throne room to find young demon.
Back to Ruinu
"Naraku! What are you doing here in my fathers castle! Tell me!" She yelled at the man that was sitting on her fathers throne.
"Ah my dear Ruinu. My have you grown. The last time that I saw you was three years ago. When you were just a tiny little child." Ruinu let out a low growl.
"Get out of my fathers throne you imbecile! That throne was meant for my father and my brother! Not for the likes of you!" Ruinu screamed at the demon with all of her courage! Naraku stood up and looked at her with a smile that sent shivers down her dog like spine.
"Why Ruinu I'm heartbroken!" He told her.
"You should be you low life demon scum bag!" She spat at him.
"But Ruinu, aren't you happy. If you wish to I will decrease my powers so that when I take you with me. So that it won't hurt as much." He said taking out a sword.
"Never in you dreams or in real life you girly boy! I shall kill you way before you can get to me." She yelled to him reaching behind her back to get her bow and arrow to shoot at him. Shock hit Ruinu when she felt nothing but her back and the cloth that she wore over it. 'Oh no. I must have dropped them when I was running the string must've broke. I'm dead meat.' A miasma filled the room making the poor little demon choke on the gas that was clogging the way for air to come into her lungs.
She fell to the ground feeling nothing but sleepy. She saw so many things flash by her. She couldn't breathe at all. The miasma thickened to the point where any demon would be dead in a flash. But she wouldn't die. She couldn't die. She was survivor. She wouldn't let some half breed but her in the land of the dead. She started to doze into a sleep. But she suddenly felt something being placed over her mouth and nose making her able to breath. She opened her eyes to see a blur standing in front of her.
Miro covered his mouth and nose with his hand only breathing small pants every now and then. He knew that the Hiraikotzu would drain his little amount of energy. He had to use the deadly blade. The blade that was used by his own Uncle Kohaku. The one that was the Chain Scythe. He put it into position and got into his stance of where he was sure that it would hit him dead on. 'It's now or never there is no in between.' He thought and with one final thought shot straight at the heart. He knew this wasn't the real Naraku. It was just Naraku's game of Demon Puppetry.
With that blow it hit him dead on and the miasma flew back to whence it came.
A while later.
Inuyasha and the others raced in to find Ruinu and Miro lying by each other.
"Ruinu are you ok?" Kagome ran over to her daughter. And Sango to her son. Ruinu shook her head yes and got up.
"I wouldn't be if he hadn't saved me." Ruinu pointed to Miro.
Kagome told her to go get some certain type of medicinal herb.
Ruinu shook her head and ran off. Heat rising in her cheeks.
Even later that night
Ruinu sat by the fire with her medicinal herbs and Miro lying in a futon. Sweat dripping down his forehead. Ruinu was cutting up the same herb that was used to prevent Kirara's sickness. Ruinu went over to Miro and put him in her lap. She fed him the herbs trying not to wake him. Miro's eyes fluttered and her then opened them only to see a very hot dog demon in front of him. Resisting his fathers inheritance that was given him he sat up still aching from the miasma.
"Sorry did I wake you?" Ruinu asked him worriedly.
"No. I just thought I should get up." He looked over at the young girl. She looked back at him. She shook her head and reached over to her left. Ruinu gave him some clothes.
"Go put them on. They will be much more comfortable than those demon slayer clothes of yours." She then left the room to go get some tea that had a type of medicine to clear up his wind pipes.
She returned seeing Miro in the clothing she gave him to wear. Seeing his demon slayer clothes laying on the ground she took put them over near a big bucket of water filled with soap. Leaving a mental note to wash them later. She sat down near Miro and the fire and hung the teapot there. She then sat by Miro and pointed for him to lie down on her lap. He obeyed her and laid down with his head on her lap. She caressed him by stroking his brown hair and making him go into a slight doze she heard the teapot start whistling making Miro wake up from his doze. Sitting up he looked at the silver haired demon.
"Hey you." Miro couldn't help but ask Ruinu. "Why are you taking care of me?" He asked her. She looked at him confused then started to giggle.
"I can't help but do this for you. You saved my life in that miasma by almost risking your own. I wanted to do all that I could to help you so that is what I am doing. I am helping you to get well. And my name is not You. It is Ruinu and you are?" She looked over at him.
'If only you could help me by marrying me.' Said the perverted voice that was supposed to be locked up in his head. So he shook his head. "My name is Miro. Nice um... meeting you Ruinu." Ruinu nodded and gave him some tea. Miro tasted it and swallowed it as quick as possible. It tasted horrible.
"What was in that tea?" He asked trying to drink the rest of it.
"Tisne herb to help get the rest of the miasma out of your wind pipes so it will be easier to breathe, and moonflower to help you recover from the sickness." She smiled and drank some too.
"Why did you put moonflower in it?" He asked. Ruinu looked at him and started to explain.
"Well as you see. I am a demon that is why I have these ears, fangs and talons. Well I am a miko too. Which is why I have the power to heal. Although all mikos' have an energy source like my mothers is my father. And this miko named Kikyo that I have heard of her energy source is the souls of dead women. My turned out to be the moon. Anything that has moon in it I use as my power. But there is one down side to this..."
"What is that?" Miro questioned wanting to hear more.
"When I turn into my full demon form. There is one deadly attack that uses both my demonic and miko side." Miro looked over at her still sipping his tea.
"What is the attack called?" He asked looking over at her. Her eyes looking down at the floor.
She looked up at him. Her face showed no sign of any other emotions except sadness. "It is an attack that I inherited from my grandfather. Although he didn't use miko at all. He used all demon. The attack is called..." She said eyes on the ground.
"Yes!" Miro leaned in to hear if she was mumbling anything.
"M-Midnight Eclipse" She stuttered. as she got the words out of her mouth as if it were winter and you were standing outside with your summer outfit on.
"Why are you afraid of that?" She looked up at him.
"The attack is used to destroy every thing that you see. Even your loved ones. The attack is so powerful if used right that it could destroy the world. And you could forget who you are. And with the doomsday curse upon my hands and with my miko powers and the sacred jewel around my neck. The world the galaxy would be doomed." Miro now understood why Ruinu was so scared. She doesn't like hurting innocent people.
Miro scooted over to where he was right behind Ruinu. He hugged her and whispered in her ear. "Ruinu, if this doomsday curse were to ever kick in. I would be there for you. Cause I believe that I can help you get through this." Ruinu's cheeks went hot again.
'Oh great. I have crush on a demon slayer.'
Inuyasha and the others
"Inuyasha. Remember the deal that we made when Ruinu was born." Inuyasha looked over at Miroku and thought for a while. He then looked in the other where Ruinu and Miro were. And he saw Miro hugging Ruinu. Then remembered the deal.
"You mean the one about Miro and Ruinu getting married?" He asked his old friend.
"Yeah that's the one. I think that they might be getting ahead of themselves." He said looking over at them.
"He's right you know. I mean next thing you know they will be kissing, hanging around each other more, and then finally get married." Sango said to everyone. They all nodded in agreement.
"Well everyone time to go to bed. That means you too Inume." Inume sighed and went over and gave his mom a pack on the cheek.
When Inume was in the confinements of his room he sat on his bed feeling the greatness of the fluffiness.
'Soon enough Ruinu will fulfill her destiny in life. Soon enough.. Soon enough.' Inume dozed off into a slumber of foresight.
