To Choose One Love
Chapter 13
Youkai Visits and Meeting the Parents
The next morning Shippo, Sango, and Miroku were awakened by visitors. It seemed that all of their youkai friends sensed the disappearance of a certain hanyou and miko. The first visitor was Totousai who apparently "sensed that the Tetsusaiga was gone from this realm" but was actually also running away from Sesshoumaru who came just a while after.
"Where is Inuyasha and my Tetsusaiga?" asked Totousai
"Well, it's a long story." said Miroku
"I'll explain it," stepped in Sango "You see it all began-"
"What am I doing here again?" interrupted Totousai
Sango and Miroku just sweatdropped. Ever since then Totousai just stayed in Kaede's hut with Kaede. Soon Sesshoumaru appeared.
"Where is my brother and his wench? I have not sensed them in 2 days" said the emotionless Sesshoumaru
"Well, it's a long story..." said Miroku
"I am listening" said Sesshoumaru, though he wasn't that curious about his brother's disappearance, he did take Rin with him and she was having a rather good time with Shippo so the least he could do was wait for his brother's return. If anything, it would be him that would take care of his brother, not another one of Naraku's damn incarnations. He was already having trouble with a certain wind sourceress....
"And that's what happened," explained Miroku "We currently have no idea where they are, Jikan assures us that they are safe, but we also do not think we can trust this incarnation of Naraku who is as powerful as a sennin."
"I see...," stated Sesshoumaru. Throughout the whole story his expression did not change, there was once a time when Miroku sworn he could have seen him angry when he explained about that Inuyasha AND Tetsusaiga were gone from this realm....but that's the closest he could get. "I will try to find this Jikan, I will not let anyone but me handle my little brother..." with that he left
"Oh and monk, take care of Rin while I am gone, she needs more time with those of her kind and she seems to have fun with that little kitsune youkai." said Sesshoumaru "If anything happens to her, you will pay with your lives."
Miroku just gulped. He was a little glad that Sesshoumaru was helping, sort of, but also a bit frightened about this dangerous babysitting job.
Sango was outside watching Rin and Shippo with Kirara until a whirlwind landed in front of them.
"Rin, Shippo! Get behind me and Kirara!" yelled Sango. The little ones just obeyed and stood behind her.
"Where is my Kagome?!?! I haven't sensed her presence in 2 days!!!" yelled Kouga
"She's gone" said Sango, the last person she wanted to talk to was Kouga.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN GONE?!!" yelled Kouga
"She means gone, and with Inuyasha I might add" said Miroku coming out of the hut. For some reason it was fun to tease Kouga when he was so clueless.
"WHAT?!" yelled Kouga, his voice resonating throughout the forest.
Once again, Sango and Miroku explained to Kouga for the THIRD time that Inuyasha and Kagome were gone. For the leader of the wolf demon tribe he had thick head.
"I will rescue Kagome and leave Inuyasha to die by the hands of Jikan!" exclaimed Kouga.
Shippo just rolled his eyes. He hated Kouga more than he ever thought by the way he was talking so cockily about his parents. He couldn't take it anymore so he decided that Kouga had spent enough time here.
"Kouga you are really ANNOYING!! KITSUNE-BI!!" yelled Shippo as his fox fire engulfed Kouga completely and sent him flying to the far direction of the wolf demon tribe.
"Shippo..." said Sango in complete awe.
All Miroku could do was muster a silent wow as he saw Kouga flying off as if he was a bird of paradise.
"S-Sugoi!" squeaked Rin. She remembered that Kouga was the one who sent the wolves that killer her once before until Sesshoumaru rescued her that is.
Kirara was also very pleased at what Shippo could do and mewed with content.
"That was amazing Shippo! Great job!" yelled a voice out of nowhere
"J-Jikan?!" said Shippo "If you think that's good then watch what I'll do to you if you don't bring back my Otou-san and Okaa-san!!"
"Sorry but I don't do well with threats" she said as she showed herself
"What are you doing here?" asked Sango "Are you going to take yet another one of us?!"
"Well I guess I must cut to the chase" said Jikan "I'm not here to take any of you, I guess I've just been a little bored so I decided to come and visit"
"Bored?!BORED?!!?" Miroku replied angrily "How can you be bored when our friends are in danger?!"
"Miroku...." whispered Sango, she had never seen him so angry, but then again who can blame him when she too felt anger and sadness toward Jikan. It was as if Inuyasha and Kagome were taken away from her just like Kohaku.
"Listen, I just wanted to tell you that your friends are fine." started Jikan "You all have nothing to worry about! I promise that I'll explain everything to you when this is all over, for now your friends are just in an examination and will return soon."
"How can we trust you?" asked Miroku
"Well, you actually have no choice." said Jikan "Oh and don't bother with those Youkai, no matter how strong they are they will not find me."
Soon the blinding blue light came back and she was once again gone.
"K-Kuso!!!" said Shippo. Who knows if it was out of anger or the fact that he had been with Inuyasha for so long, but he was not in a good mood.
"I think we can trust her." said Rin
"W-WHAT?!" yelled Shippo, Miroku and Sango
"I-I can't explain it, but I just have a feeling." she said
"Sango," called Miroku
"Nani?" she replied
"I think we have another miko on our hands...."
"When will this be over? I'm tired of making everyone mad at me."
"Jikan you must have patience"
"But-"
"No buts! I will hear no more, Now go and arrange the next test"
"Hai" she replied, and she left.
As Kagome awoke she nearly screamed. Not because of the darkness but because she no longer had little Inuyasha in her arms.
Inuyasha awoke with someone moving under him until he covered the mysterious figure's mouth before they were about to scream.
"K-Kagome?!" he asked
"I-Inuyasha..." said Kagome as she turned around. It was Inuyasha and they were apparently asleep together. They both got up quickly with blushes on their faces.
"I missed you so much!" said Kagome happily as they embraced.
"I missed you too.." said Inuyasha. "It seems like we've been apart for an eternity."
"Yes but not really because we did she each other in the past didn't we?" asked Kagome
"Yeah, I got to see you when you were a whelp" teased Inuyasha
"Well I saw you too! And your ears were still so kawaii!" said Kagome as she started to rub his ears again.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you tender moment but we have more test!" exclaimed Jikan
"How long were you here?!" asked Inuyasha blushing slightly
"Oh don't worry." said Jikan "Anyway good luck on you next mission!"
"No wait!" yelled Kagome
But it was too late and they were once again separated as they were engulfed in a blinding blue light.
"W-Where am I?" said Inuyasha as he found himself once again in Kagome's time but in a strange place with Jikan?!
"W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" he yelled
"Shh! Not so loud." said Jikan. "I'm here because from now on I can help you guys on your test! Now put this on!"
"W-what is this?" asked a confused Inuyasha. For some reason he found himself trusting the sennin
"It's a concealment stone, when you put it on we can get out of this broom closet and get to your test!"
"Where do I put this?" he asked still confused.
"Here" said Jikan as she placed the stone on his forehead and it disappeared. Suddenly Inuyasha found himself looking human and with strange green clothes on but he was still wearing the same thing he had and even his Tetsusaiga.
"There." said Jikan "Now we start you test. I'll be right here but I can not help you any further."
They walked out the door and Inuyasha saw a man standing in front of a large glass window.
"Where are we?" asked Inuyasha
"We are in Kagome's time and in a place called a hospital, it is where people get treated if they get hurt."
"Oh...." was his only reply.
"Doctor how is she?!" said the man as he ran toward Inuyasha
"D-Doctor?" he whispered to Jikan
"Your daughter is fine Higurashi-san, she will be alright and so will your wife. Here is the doctor you can thank and I must be off" said Jikan
"Thank you nurse" said the man
"H-Higurashi-san?" said Inuyasha. You mean to tell me that this is Kagome's father? he thought.
"Thank you so much doctor." said Higurashi-san "I'm so glad that my Kagome is going to be alright."
Kagome's father was near tears as he thanked Inuyasha. Soon Inuyasha found himself talking to him about his wife and his daughter and even the Goshinboku.
"You have many dreams and hopes for your daughter..." said Inuyasha.
"Yes, but of all things I just want her to be happy." said Kagome's father. "I want her to find someone she loves just as much as I love her mother."
"That is a very good dream" replied Inuyasha
They talked as if they had been pals for years.
"How about you Doctor Taisho?" asked Higurashi-san "Do you have anyone in particular?"
"Yes, you daughter" said Inuyasha without thought.
"Get up" said a husky voice
"I-Inuyasha?" asked Kagome
"What did you say?" asked the mysterious voice once again.
"Lord Inutaisho please forgive my fellow servant, she is weak and forgive her." said Jikan
"J-Jikan?!!" said Kagome
"Look Kagome, I am not your enemy and please do not consider me your enemy. I am here to help you throughout your test from now on. Now come this is Inuyasha's father and her mother has just given birth to him." she explained.
Kagome was overwhelmed by everything that she had heard. His father and mother?! she thought. Kagome could have fainted again if not for Jikan.
"GO NOW!" yelled Inutaisho
"I don't want to leave you." said the young woman
"Jikan! go with Lady Izayoi and make sure she and my son are safe! Now go!" yelled Inutaisho. Inuyasha's parents shared their last kiss as Kagome, Jikan and Izayoi escaped the burning palace underneath the fire rat haori.
"His name will be Inuyasha" said Inutaisho as his last words before he was gone as well.
"Inuyasha..." said Kagome So this is how you were born. thought Kagome as she tried to hold back the tears.
"Inuyasha's father's name is Lord Inutaisho, the one you just saw earlier. His mother is Lady Izayoi." explained Jikan to Kagome
"Lady Izayoi, I am Kagome and I will be at your service to help you and your son." said Kagome
"Arigato Kagome," said Lady Izayoi. Her tear stained cheeks were the only difference from when Kagome first saw her figure when Inuyasha fought Sesshoumaru for the first time. She was still very young and beautiful and had baby Inuyasha in her arms wrapped in a pink blanket. Inuyasha was so tiny and crying very loudly. They had finally reached a hut in the clearing.
"This is where we will stay for sometime, It is not the greatest place but it will have to do." said Jikan
"He's finally asleep." said a very tired Lady Izayoi.
She's so strong. She just gave birth to her son, said goodbye to her husband, ran about a mile to get here and she is still trying to be cheerful. thought Kagome So this is Inuyasha's childhood. I have to try to be strong just like Lady Izayoi.
"Since we are here to protect you then we should tell you more about ourselves." said Jikan "Shouldn't we Kagome?"
"Oh yes I am Kagome, and this is Jikan." started Kagome again "I am a miko and she is a...umm.."
"I am also a miko" said Jikan
"We will help protect you and Inuyasha no matter what." said Kagome
"Arigato, I am sorry to endanger you so." said Lady Izayoi.
"Please don't be sorry, I would be honored to help you." said Kagome If only she knew the half of it she thought
"If you don't mind me asking, how did you meet Lord Inutaisho?" asked Kagome
Lady Izayoi was surprised on how interested Kagome was about her and Inutaisho. So she started at the beginning on how she was be-throed to someone but met Inutaisho at the river. He was like a savior sent to her and they fell in love. Kagome couldn't believe everything she was hearing. She tried hard to fight back the tears and be strong but at the end all three women were crying.
"That's so sad, but I'm sure it will be alright" said Kagome through her tears.
"I just pray that Inuyasha will grow up into a fine man and also follow his heart." said Lady Izayoi.
"Oh don't worry..." murmured Jikan
"I'm sure he will" said Kagome trying to stifle a laugh.
"Do you have anyone special for you Kagome? Jikan?" asked Lady Izayoi
"I don't have anyone, but Kagome has someone." answered Jikan
"Really who?" asked Lady Izayoi
"Jikan don't-"
"Your son." she said
Izayoi went wide-eyed before fainting as Inuyasha once again started to bawl.
