Inuyasha: The Next Generation
Part 2: The Surprising Wanderer
The next morning, Taji and Amida were sent out into the forest with the hope that they would get
along. However they started fighting as soon as they got out of sight of the town. After several
hours they agreed (for the first time all day) that they were both tired. However they were on the
other side of the forest.
They were walking back into town, when they ran into someone. "Oh, I'm sorry." The
man said.
"It's okay." Taji said, pushing Amida down.
As Amida got up, a look of confusion from the man, as his messed up brain, started
sending signals to him, saying that he should remember the boy from somewhere. "I'm sorry
have we met." the man asked Amida.
Sure Amida knew who he was from all the descriptions his mother had gave him,
however he had never met his uncle. "No, what's your name." Taji was confused over all this.
"My name is Yasuo. I'm a wandering traveller, however I need a place to stay for the
night, and I can't find a town." Yasuo replied.
"I live not to far from here. Maybe you can stay with my family." Amida replied. 'Oh,
boy mom will be surprised.'
"All right. Thanks." Yasuo said, and Taji and Amida led then back towards their town.
"What are you doing?" Taji whispered to Amida. "You never seen him before."
"Did your parents tell you about my uncle, who was alive, thanks to Naraku's control."
Amida whispered. When Taji nodded, he continued. "Mom told me exactly what he looked like,
and that's him."
"Are you sure?" Taji asked, as they reached the end of the forest.
"Yes." Amida answered as the group of three walked up to his hut. "Mom, Dad, we're
back." Amida yelled.
"Did you and Taji have any luck getting along?" Sango asked coming out of the kitchen.
"Who is this?" she asked seeing the third man.
"My name is Yasuo, ma'am." Yasuo answered, feeling the same pain in his head as he
did Amida.
Sango suddenly recognized him. "Kohaku is that really you?" she asked. Yasuo just
blinked. 'Oh my god, he doesn't remember me!' Sango exclaimed, while Yasuo just blinked some
more.
"Um, ma'am, is it alright if I stay for the night? Or is this a bad time?" Yasuo asked and
Sango held back her tears.
"No, you may stay," Sango said, trying to keep her voice steady. "Miroku, honey, could
you please go show our guest where he can stay?" Sango asked Miroku who nodded, giving his
wife a sympathetic look; he showed Yasuo the way, while Amida looked guilty.
"I'm sorry, mom," he said and Sango shook her head.
"It's not your fault, it's Naraku's, hopefully I can get him to remember me and everybody
else," Sango said hopefully, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Well he did ask if he knew Amida from somewhere, so something must be coming
back." Taji pointed out, and Sango's eyes widened.
"So, he remembers something, even if it's just a fragment. We can work with that."
Sango exclaimed quietly. "Maybe we can get more out of him during dinner."
A few hours later the large group sat down for dinner. "So Yasuo." Sango said, fighting
off the wish of calling him Kohaku, "Why were you looking for a place to stay? I mean don't you
have a home."
"When I was a teenager." Yasuo explained, "I lost all my memories, and I have been
spending about 20 years trying to gain them back wandering through the country, trying to find
someone who has knew me before I lost my memories. Although I think something about your
son, is bringing a little bit back."
"That's what he said earlier." Sango pointed out.
"I wondered why when we first came in, you called me Kohaku." Yasuo said.
Sango sighed, she knew this question would come up, and she had already discussed it with
Miroku. "You looked like one of my friends when I was younger. Who I thought was killed when
our village was destroyed by demons." she explained.
Kirara had come over to the table. She was wondering who the stranger was and
walked over to him. She recognized the scent immediately and jumped into Yasuo's lap. "Is this
your cat." he asked, petting the cat on his lap. Once again, something in the back of his mind
reacted to him.
"Yeah, I had her since before my village was destroyed." Sango answered.
"Well it feels like you'll get another kitten soon." Yasuo said, feeling movement inside
the cat.
"What do you mean?" Amida asked.
"I don't know how, but I have ways of telling things about animals, and your cat is definitely
pregnant." Yasuo explained.
"Do you know when it's coming?" Taji asked.
"No, it's to small, to get an idea, of how long she has been pregnant, so I give her several
weeks." Yasuo answered, as Kirara jumped over in Sango's open arms.
"I didn't expect this." Sango said petting Kirara. The cat just meowed and purred under
her owner's hand.
"So that means, no using her to go after demons." Miroku reminded Amida.
"Yes, dad." Amida said, glaring at Taji who was laughing.
"Yeah, but once the kitten is old enough, it can become a cat demon like Kirara, and
maybe you'll treat it better than you do her." Taji pointed out.
"You're right." Amida had to admit, he knew he was harsh on Kirara, and now he could
get one of his own.
"You better treat it right." Miroku said. "You're just lucky Kirara is taking your
punishment." Yasuo was confused about all this but kept quiet, as he finished eating his dinner.
Soon after they were all finished.
The next morning, Yasuo was getting ready to leave. "Thank you all, for your hospitality."
"It's always a pleasure to have guests. You're welcome to stay here whenever you're in
town again." Sango said, fighting back her tears, at seeing her brother leave again.
"I will." Yasuo said. "I'm not sure how to get to the other side of the forest, can one of
you help me?"
"Amida, Taji, help him get to the other side of the forest," Miroku ordered.
"Yes dad." Amida said, and Taji just nodded.
Within minutes they were walking in the forest, and soon they arrived at the other end
where the well was. "There you go, and hope you get your memories back soon." Amida said.
"Thank you both. Goodbye." Yasuo said walking away.
"Bye, uncle Kohaku." Amida quietly said, as Yasuo walked out of sight.
"We'll see him again, I'm sure of it." Taji reassured Amida.
"I know." Amida said. Then he heard something coming from the well.
Taji heard it to, and the two boys ran to it. Looking in it, "Mika, how did you get here."
he asked surprised.
"Looking for you, what do you think." Mika snapped back, trying to find something to get
her up. "Mom and Dad have been worried, and they never did check the well, so I did it."
Amida found some rope, and threw it down. "Use this." he called. Mika grabbed the rope
and soon was out of the well.
"Taji, who is this?" she asked. "And where am I?"
"First of all, this is my new friend Amida." Taji answered. Amida just nodded, a strange
glint in his eyes. "Remember when mom and dad always told us stories about the feudal era?"
Mika nodded. "Well, somehow we are in that time."
"Is there any place, where you have been staying the last two days?" Mika asked, worried
for her brother's well being.
"Amida is the son of two of mom and dad's old friends, so I've been staying with them."
Taji answered. "If you want we can take you to meet them."
"Of course.' Mika said, she was always interested in meeting her parents old friends, even
though she hadn't meet most of them that she had heard of, but she was never told why.
"Then follow us." Amida said. Soon they fell into rythem, however Amida slipped behind
Mika to feel her. He reached a little low.
"AH, pervert." Mika yelled.
"Don't ever touch my sister like that, Amida, or you'll regret it." Taji threatened, showing
his claws as to make his point."
"I didn't even know she was your sister, you never even told me." Amida pointed out.
"You were there listening to our conversation at the well, were you not?" Taji asked.
"You would have probably picked it up by then."
By then they had arrived at Amida's home. "We're back." Amida yelled inside.
"Did Kohaku get out of the forest safely." Sango asked coming in.
"Yes, mom." Amida answered.
"Who is that young lady?" Sango asked noticing Mika.
"You remember my sister from when we were here several years ago don't you." Taji
asked. Mika just was confused, she certainly didn't remember anything.
"Mika, is that really you?" Sango exclaimed. "I've haven't seen you since, you were
running in the forest getting away from your father when you were only two years old."
"I'm sorry I don't know what you are talking about." Mika said.
"Of course you wouldn't, you were only two at the time, but I'm one of your parent's
friends. My name is Sango, my husband is out, but his name is Miroku."
"Pleasure to meet you." Mika said, feeling comfortable about this family.
