Kohaku's Teen Years
Chapter 1: Turning 12 and a New Daughter
Princess Sango
August had come and I turned 12! Sure, it took me awhile to realize I wasn't alone. Naraku always made me feel that way... Kagura helped ease it. Though now Sango placed the paint on my weapon and face.
Since I was twelve, my second slayer mission came. Sango had to train me very little, since Naraku had trained me. "Now Kohaku, remember you're training." I nodded; everyone was there, the village people that were being attacked in were behind Sango.
Sango smiled at me as she sent me inside. I held onto my weapon as I scanned the village. A baby started crying as I approached closer. I opened the door to find the baby unharmed.
I smiled as I picked her up, and rocked her back and forth until she fell asleep. "Now who would leave you here?" I looked around to realize a bear demon. As I laid her down; my weapon went out towards the bear's heart and the bear was dead.
I smiled in triumph as I picked up the baby. "You shouldn't be here..." I walked out of the village to tell the people the demon was gone. They thanked me but no one claimed the baby. I looked at her and couldn't leave her. So I took her in with Sango's permission.
"You're going to have to name her you know," included Kagome.
I nodded, "But what do I name her?"
They shrugged, "Just choose one you think best fits her."
I ended up struck on the name Kara, so that's what I named her. "Okay Kohaku, though she's your responsibility. I don't want to hear it's too hard."
"Hai Sango."
1 week later...
It was easy, taking care of Kara. Kagome and Sango couldn't stop playing with her. We had Kaede check her over; she was ten months old and full demon! Though I was already too attached. Sango knew and nodded. Kara started learning words the same week. The only word she didn't know was mommy. I didn't want her to learn that yet.
I was only 12, but considered a man in my village. Kara would look up to me, and that gave me a sense that someone loved me. As I started to cradle her, she started to talk, "Daddy what did you do today?"
"Well I went on another mission Kara." She gave me a toothy smile, her violet eyes glowing.
"So what kind of demon was it?"
"Oh, it's a centipede demon. Really easy."
"Daddy, do you know who my 'Kaasan is?" As I stroked her silvery/white hair.
I answered, "No Kara, gomen nasai."
"It's okay daddy. One day we'll find her together. Is that okay?"
I nodded and set her down for bed. "We'll find her together... I promise Kara."
