Chapter 2: The Lost Sibling's Return

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or the other character from that story; they belong to someone else who actually has talent.

"Lady Michera…" whispered Myoga from atop of Shippo's shoulder.

Shippo attempted to look up at the flea perched on top of his head. He asked, "Who?" However, no reply came from anyone as everyone in the battle clearing simply stared at the mysterious new demon who had appeared out of now where.

The new dog demon walked over to Inu-yasha who lay pathetically helpless on the ground, bleeding and nearing unconsciousness. She looked down at him, then pulled some herbs out of a pouch within her kimono. She whispered an incantation and threw the herbs onto Inu-yasha in a glittering array of sparkly dust. Inuyasha's wounds began to heal immediately. Kagome sighed thankfully as Inuyasha's wounds disappeared. She looked thankfully to the unknown demon and said hesitantly, "Thank you…., but…, who are you?"

The demon girl simply smiled down at her and replied in a whisper, "Shhh, I want to see if they remember me, but I'll give you a hint." she said with a wink, " The way you and Inu-yasha are going, I'm probably going to end up being your sister in law." The girl giggled, then rose to face Sesshoumaru. Kagome blinked in surprise, trying to figure out what she meant.

Behind the two girls, Inu-yasha rose and gawked at the mysterious demon. Both he and Seshoumaru, who had been staring at the girl from the opposite side of the clearing shouted in their glee, "Michera!! I thought you were dead!!" Michera looked at both of them in turn, and took in a big breathe to prepare for a long speech. These idiots, when will they ever learn?

"Am I supposed to be?" she said sarcastically, "Well, that shows me not to leave you two alone together for long periods of time. And I thought the sibling rivalry was bad." she rolled her eyes. "You two should be ashamed of yourselves! You both could have been killed! What would father think if he saw you now, trying to destroy each other! I'm truly disappointed in you tw……..!!!" She was cut off when both Inu-yasha and Seshoumaru ran forth and embraced her. The force of two rather strong demons hugging her at the same time nearly knocked the wind out of the poor girl.

Both of the dog demons were about to begin to talk, when they noticed the other there. Inu-yasha pushed his brother away and snarled, "Stay away from my sister!" he hugged her protectively to his chest. Shippo and Kagome, both to who this was a big surprise, gasped in surprise. Meanwhile the poor girl was nearly being suffocated by Inuyasha's shirt which was in her face, as it should be when she is being squeezed in a tight embrace around her neck by a considerably strong demon.

Seshoumaru was taken aback. "Your sister?? What are you talking about?" Inuyasha glared at Sesshoumaru, and Sesshoumaru glared right on back. Sweat droplets formed on the backs of everyone's heads as the two dog demons nearly began to fight again.

Finally managing to free herself from Inuyasha's embrace, Michera screamed "Shut up! Both of you!" Stepping away from Inuyasha she looked at each of her brothers in turn. "I am a sister to both of you , now stop quarrelling!" Both of the dog demons hung their heads in shame. It was quite funny for Kagome to see Lord Sesshoumaru being controlled by a little demon girl. (Though when Kagome thought about it, Michera was young, but not much of a girl. She actually looked like more of a woman than Kagome, although she was a few years younger, or so it seemed.) Michera slowly shook her head as she smiled at her brothers. "It's alright, just try not to fight over me, I love both of you."

This wasn't enough to settle these boys, they began shooting reasons on why Michera should like one more than the other. "But he's only a half brother" complained Inu-yasha.

"We still have the same father" Michera responded.

"He's only a mutt, a stupid half-breed" complained Seshoumaru.

"And so am I" she replied, looking at him sideways with a raised eyebrow.

"He's a stuck up jerk with an over inflated ego!" Inuyasha yelled while pointing a clawed finger at his brother.

"Haven't you noticed that so are you!!" Michera shot back at him. Kagome had to try hard to suppress her giggles as Inuyasha's face flushed red. In the background you can here Shippo snickering.

"But look how ugly that mutt is!" Sesshoumaru pointed out.

"And you think you're pretty?" Michera asked. Across from Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha is laughing hysterically.

Jaken who had been wise enough before to just keep quiet not burst out, " How dare you insult his high lord Sesshoumaru!"

"Shut Up!!" yelled out Sesshoumaru who had also gone red in the face.

As Michera grinned at her superiority to her brothers, they were trying desperately to find more excuses for why Michera should ignore the other, but for each one they named, she responded with something she had in common with the other or worse, an insult to the brother himself. After a few minutes, she yelled out, "Just shut up!! I love both of you, now drop it or suffer the consequences!" Both of them shut up "That's better"

Kagome was really liking this girl, Michera, and she was cute. She looked like a darker mix between Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, with the best traits of them both. And the way her husky like gray tail wagged in her victory was just so cute. Shippo also liked the new dog demon that had arrived. She was witty and cunning, like a vixen, he thought. Myoga, who was still in a daze that Michera was even there just stared at her. Then he sighed happily thinking how good her blood would taste now that she was no longer a puny little pup like the last time he saw her when she was a child.

There was a sudden rustling in the bushes nearby. The entire group turned towards the sound. They tensed as they watched intently the foliage that shook showing the arrival of two powerful demons. Michera tensed as two wolf demons emerged from the bushes.
