Hello, everyone. Lily here. Ok, I guess you're wondering who's attacking? Well, you'll be able to figure it out pretty well. I guess I needed a bit of a kick to make things more interesting. Besides, I needed a bad guy, or girl, to show up.
*Mirai sweatdrops* But.....not all your stories have villains in it though.
*Glaring at her mate* You're point being? Besides, I needed a good way for Inuyasha and Kagome to make up after their fight. And what better way that if Kagome was hurt?
*Mirai sweatdrops* You're odd.
*Smirking at her mate* But you still love me. Anyway, on to the disclaimer part. As always the ONLY things I own are my mate, my Mystic clone, my Neil clone, my Gambit clone, my Kou clone, and my new pet, my Demi-Demon Doggie clone, or my Inuyasha clone.
Nothing more. And no, you can't have any of them!
Enjoy the story!

Keiki de Niyati : Children of Fate
Chapter 9- " Recovery "
by Lily
"She will need plenty of rest, and ye should make sure she doesn't strain herself too much during these next few days. Lady Kagome must take it easy until she's regained her strength. She is lucky to be alive. If it were not for ye and the monk-" Kaede bagan before Inuyasha cut her off, snapping his head from his mate's face to half-glare at the old woman.
"Don't even say it." Inuyasha warned as Kaede sighed deeply.
"Ye mustn't be cross with me, Inuyasha. I merely state the truth. But as long as ye keep a close virgil over her, she shall be fine. Ye should be more adapt to protecting her more then arguing with her, I'd wager, Inuyasha." Kaede said as Inuyasha growled to himself.
"Feh. You're not need here any longer, woman. Be gone." Inuyasha said, looking down at the still unconscious Kagome, bundled up between the blankets and mat on the floor of Kaede's hut. The old Miko sighed deeply as she rose to her feet.
"Think well on the words, Inuyasha. I shall return with some broth should she awaken." Kaede said, before disappearing out of the cloth door that had been put for Kagome.
Inuyasha stared down at his mate, his frenzy of emotions battling inside him barely visible on the outside. He looked her over, from the tip of her toes to the top of her shiny black mass of hair on her head to make sure there were no injuries that the old miko might have over looked. Satisfied, he settled back, to lean against the back wall, still watching her intently as he leaned heavily on his Tetseiga. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally opened his mouth to speak.
"Stupid bitch. You would do something this wreckless. I swear if you leave me too, I'll........damn it bitch, do you enjoy attracting danger? Is that why you.........why you took to me so well? Am I dangerous around you? Do I.......do I put *you* in danger?" Inuyasha asked softly.
"Daddy? Is Mama going to be alright?" Kaiya asked as she and her twin crept silently into the room. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at his pups as he tried to hid the smallest smile from them.
"Aren't you supposed to be keeping Uncle Miroku and Aunt Sango company? Or Uncle Sesshoumaru and cousin Rin? Mama needs her rest, you know you're not supposed to be in here, pups." Inuyasha said in an almost amused tone.
"We're sorry, Daddy. We were worried about Mama. We didn't mean to disobey." Kaori said, looking downward at his feet. Inuyasha sighed as he pulled the twins towards him to sit on his lap, each twin on one knee.
"Mama will be fine. She just needs some rest. She's pretty worn out. Are you two alright?" Inuyasha asked at the twins silently nodded.
"Yes, Daddy. We're fine. But why did that mean lady attack Mama?" Kaiya asked.
"She looked like Mama, too, Daddy. But, she didn't look like Mama, too." Kaori said, scratching his head in confusion.
"Her name is Kikyo. She's......a distant relative of your mother's. She and your mother......don't get along." Inuyasha said, choosing his words carefully.
"Why?" Kaiya asked.
"Well, it's a long story. Because of me." Inuyasha said.
"You Daddy? Why? You didn't do anything, did you?" Kaori asked.
"It's hard to explain, son. It happened a long time ago. But they don't get along, now. I'll explain it to you when you're older." Inuyasha said.
"How much older, Daddy?" Kaori asked.
"Older than you are now. Now hush. If you want to stay, you must keep quiet so your mother can sleep." Inuyasha said as the twins silently nodded, before carefully making their way over to Kagome before Inuyasha could stop them, then carefully curled up next to her. Inuyasha sighed at his over worried nature, before leaning back against the wall again.
"Hmm. I see then. Nicely done, my dear." A deep voice said as Kikyo nodded, showing no emotions, as she usually never did.
"That you, Naraku." Kikyo said.
"And the girl? The.....now female hanyou.....that our dear friend Inuyasha cares so much for?" Naraku asked.
"I know not. She was severely injured when I left." Kikyo said.
"When you left? And pray tell.....why exactly would you think it wise to do so? Surely you should have known I would not look too kindly upon your retreat when you had the advantage, my dear." Naraku said.
"I do not care for thy feelings on the matter, Naraku. I left after Inuyasha and the one with the wind tunnel arrived. I had not thine demon wasps with me to deal with him, either. And I did not fancy the idea of being trapped inside his wind tunnel." Kikyo said.
Naraku frowned at the miko's rebelliousness, but chuckled to himself as he laughed it off. Of course she would not fear him, she was Kikyo. She feared no one.
"Very well then. Still, as I said before, nicely done. We shall have to do something about those pups now, I think. Would you say that they, possess, some type of power at all? Something that may even hold use to me? The offspring of a miko and a half- youkai no less?" Naraku asked.
"I know not. The girl sent the whelps away before she confronted me. I was planning on hunting them down after I had desposed of the girl, but as I said before, I wasn't expecting company so soon." Kikyo said as Naraku nodded.
"I see then. We will merely have to see for ourselves. Rest up a bit, my dear, and then you may go after them again." Naraku said.
"No. I will finish the girl first." Kikyo said.
"Ah, very well then. You shall rest for a while before you dispose of Inuyasha's bitch, then bring me his pups." Naraku said as Kikyo turned and walked out of the room.
"We will finish this yet, Inuyasha." Kikyo said to herself, as she walked down the long corridor to her chambers.
"Lady Sango? Are you sure you're alright?" Miroku asked as Sango sighed deeply and smacked Miroku.
"For the four hundred seventy-second time Miroku, I'm *fine*!" Sango said.
"Are you sure though?" Miroku asked again.
"It'd be wise to keep quiet, monk. I think the Lady is about to strike you once more." Sesshoumaru said, walking over to the two with Rin running along behind him.
"Very observant, are we, Sesshoumaru? Does that mean you are feeling well?" Sango asked as Sesshoumaru curtly nodded at her.
"A few bruised ribs and a few cuts and scrapes? I have been injured far worse, Lady." Sesshoumaru said, sitting down Indian style on the grass.
"Well, I'm glad you're alright. You have any idea-" Sango began as Sesshoumaru shook his head.
"I know not of Lady Kagome's condition. Inuyasha and the pups sit with her now." Sesshoumaru said.
"I just don't understand, Sesshoumaru. How could neither you nor Kagome sense her?" Sango asked.
"I imagine it's something that our advisary Naraku may be responsible. She must hold some jew shards and must have used it to conceal herself from us until she was ready to attack." Sesshoumaru said.
"But if she had some jew shards, would not Lady Kagome have sensed them?" Miroku asked.
"She should have, with her miko and youkoi blood now. But I fear she may have been too caught up in her pups and her mate." Sesshoumaru said.
"I see." Miroku said.
"What should we do now?" Sango asked.
"We shall wait for Lady Kagome to recover before we decide on our next course of action. She is still greatly hurt, and will need to be fully recovered before we move on. We will still need her powers." Sesshoumaru said.
"What about the pups, Sesshoumaru? Do you think that they might also hold some great power with themselves?" Miroku asked.
"This I know not. Nor do their parents, I would imagine. They have shown no evidence of any great power within them." Sesshoumaru said.
"It stands to reason though, that if Kagome is as powerful as she is now, her pups would also share in that power, would they not?" Sango asked.
"We shall see. Now I suggest we get back and check on Lady Kagome's progress." Miroku said, rising to his feet, and helping Sango to hers.
"Rin and I shall stay here. I shall keep an eye out for any of Naraku's spies. I think it might also be best if you get word to your companion as well, and inform him of the attack." Sesshoumaru said.
"Good idea. I'll have send out Kirari out with a letter for him. I think it might also be wise if we ask him to join us. Just to be safe." Sango said.
"I'd think it'd wise if you told Inuyasha before you do so. You know how he feels about Kouga." Miroku said as Sango nodded.
"I know, but if it means keeping Kagome and the pups safe, I think you'll see he'll agree to just about anything. Come on." Sango said, heading back towards the hut.
