Chapter 8: Priestess Wars Part 2

Princess Sango

Sango was now up and Inuya tended to her. Inuya taught Miroku which knew about nothing in healing aids. Miroku's former teacher was female, also a priestess. She had competed and lost. First was actual an actual combat, her teacher lost, healing, teacher lost, defense, Inuya lost. "Besides defense, she's good to go. Best priestess that I will ever teach. She's only how old?"

"Four and glad to hear it!" she told her teacher.


Kagome lay down to sleep as Inuyasha threw off his shirt. "That game was mean! How could you do that? Running to Kouga with my clothes!" Kagome smirked and just fell asleep.


Inuya found out that her best defense was fire, as water was combat. The teacher was called Mizuho, and she kept pushing about fire. "We will see that you can do now. Ready? Go!" Mizuho started sending attacks everywhere. Inuya concentrated on the grass and the attacks.

"Come fire! Rise up over my head! Form a dome," her mind screamed.

A strong fire dome formed over her head. No matter how hard the attacks were, they couldn't go through. Mizuho stopped and was out of breath. "H-here's your recommendation from me. D-don't l-lose." Inuya took it and Mizuho sprinted off.

"Okay Miroku, all I need is a ghost." Miroku nodded dumbly.

The next day...

Kagome and Inuyasha started out early the next day. That day they decided to take the whole family to Kagome's house. Inuyasha knew that his ears would be touched but he loved Kagome too much to refuse. Kagome was in bliss, but an old scent came. "Koga? What is his scent doing here?"

Inuyasha scoffed, "His den is here too. He has his own female wolf demon now. You have to pay for western dens. Though I get one for free, you know why."


Inuya walk through the maidens cemetery, she had to find one by herself. A few weren't very befitting, but one she liked. Her name is Keiko. She died in a fire not too long ago. She had great untapped power. Also a male spirit guides her. I came to her and we talked.

She informed me about all her hardships in the fire. Then I told her my proposal, and she accepted. We integrated and it felt right. Inuya led her out where Miroku was waiting. "Miroku, this is Keiko. She is my personal; I can work the fire defense better. Also Akane has water powers for combat."

Inuya told Miroku that she was ready. "You know things too." Miroku escorted her there while they went over the rules. Then Inuya was escorted away. Miroku sighed and headed back.

Kagome found the house destroyed and Sango crawling to them, "What happened Sango?" asked Kagome shocked. Sango told them the story and what caused it. Inuyasha asked where Miroku was, and Inuya. The boys were visibly seen, and Sayaku was right behind Sango.

"She's fine; I'm not supposed to tell you where she has gone though."

"Why not?" asked Kagome. Sango said nothing more, because Miroku came back.


Inuya's first task was simple. You had to levitate a bucket into the air. It took only one try too. Akane was doing things greatly. It took eight days if you worked slowly for twenty levels. Though Inuyasha was already on the fifteenth level before dark. She was little tired but kept going on.

Then as soon as Inuya saw thenumber twentyshack, she decided to rest. She had Akane and Keiko to help protect her. So they set off to dreamland together.


Inuyasha and Kagome started to fret, "Why can't you tell us?" Miroku simply stated that he was under orders not to tell.

"She'll be fine Kagome. Would I let Miroku go with her if I didn't?" Kagome became calm at once and they settled into sleep.

Inuya got up early and went to shack number twenty. "Hope mom and dad are okay," she thought. She sighed and walked inside.


Kagome was still a little uneasy but Sango kept reassuring her. She seemed proud of something.


Inuya heaved as she fought the last champion. "You have called me for child's play?" Akane and Keiko combined forces and gave the fire/water ball to Inuya. Inuya put power into it and sent flying to the priestess.

She collapsed at the powerful blow, "You are the new champion. Take those things in things in the chest and this necklace." Inuya collected everything and sent Keiko to tell Miroku.

She ran fast and when she neared the site she smiled, "Mom and dad are here!"

Miroku smiled as Keiko told him the news. He whispered back to her and she simply nodded. Kagome saw the spirit and shook her head. Then her nose picked up Inuya's scent. She smiled when Inuya came into view carrying strange items. Kagome looked startled as she had noticed the necklace.

"Hi! Why are you staring at me? I just got back from priestess wars! I won too!"

Kagome stared, "My four year old daughter just won the hardest tournament ever! When did she learn it?" Kagome hugged her daughter, "I'm so proud of you!"

Inuyasha looked puzzled and Miroku explained. "You mean the miko powers were transferred?"

Miroku nodded happily, "You're daughter has real potential." Kagome let go of her daughter, no bruises or anything, just some scratches.

"Where did you learn it all?"

Inuya smiled, "When you're training with Kaede-san and Miroku helped me find another trainer for defense." Inuyasha noticed one thing; he had a full youkai daughter with miko powers!
