Roar of the Dragon: Well, everyone seems to love Shippo as the hero. This chapter features some more Jaken bashing, then a big event you've all been waiting for. On an interesting note, Kimiko means "noble child" in Japanese. Sorry this chapter is up late, my home network had some trouble this weekend. But I'm finishing this chapter on my brand new Laptop computer!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Oh My Goddess. The only characters I own are Kimiko, Flamie, and Lina.
I apologize in advance for any mistakes I make regarding Japanese customs or language usage.
Review Responses: Wow, you people really like this story don't you?
whitetiger-isabella: Glad you liked the story, I'm trying to get these chapters out as quick as I can.
Dumber then a Moogle ass: Well the adults were concentrating on healing Kaede and that took all their attention. Kimiko will not be loverless for long, so don't worry about that! And Shippo and Rin are just 12 in youkai years, their not going to be doing any hanky panky any time soon, at least not till they're 18.
Kiroku: I'm not going through all 22 chapters of my story and reposting them just to change Mirouku's name cause you don't like how I spell it. And I don't need to use your character.
Sword Master Jeff: Shippo doesn't have the same heritage, he is a kitsune whose family's tails split into nine individual tails when they first call on their true power, a trait from his mom's side. You can use the attack, just give me some credit.
crazyhanyoued: Yes, Shippo kicketh much dark miko behind. And the only thing about Jaken I care about is how much I can torture him before it gets old.
aphy69: yes, I'd like to think that this story is 25% fluff, 25% action, 25% humor, and 25% Jaken bashing.
Dark Inu Fan: Yes, I like Shippo to and I wanted to give him some action. As for Flamie's name, give me a break, I spent all my creativity coming up with those attacks for Shippo and that battle scene! Besides, I like the name Flamie for a pet dragon.
Mily: Koibito means beloved in Japanese and Miko means shrine maiden or priestess in Japanese. And Flamie is cute, I put him in for some cute little creature that could terrorize Jaken.
chrisy12: You'll see Sesshy's response in this chapter.
WolfKeeper989: Well, here's the next chapter.
Story Weaver1: I agree, I think that chapter was one of my best, since I'm pretty sure the whole Shippo transforming idea was 100% original out of my head. And you've just got to love the fluff!

{talking mind to mind}
After a quick stop to check on Kaede, who had awakened and managed to sit up by herself and insisted the group didn't have to worry about her thanks to Lina's spell, the group proceded to Sesshomaru's castle. They were greeted by a female panda youkai from China dressed in a cheongsam, whom Rin introduced as Padme who was her nanny as well as the castle cook, who lead them to Sesshomaru's study. they found the Taiyoukai dressed in a simple kimono and writing on a list of 'Ways to Punish Jaken for his Insolence' (AN: I welcome ideas for this list in reviews), trying to find a new way to punish the toad for disrespecting Rin earlier. Upon seeing everyone, he stood up with a smile and arms outstretched for Rin to tackle him in a hug before swinging her through the air. Kagome told her brother in law about Sizuki's attack on the pups, after which Sesshomaru turned a speculative gaze on Shippo. ::Hmm, so he defended my daughter out of love for her. I think I might have found a future mate for Rin!::
Shippo was nervous, since he could smell himself allover Rin and her on him. He knew Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kimiko wouldn't mind since they were just friends, but Sesshomaru was a different story. Shippo prayed his uncle wouldn't be mad at him. Sesshomaru grinned and bowed to Shippo. "This Sesshomaru thanks you for defending his daughter and would like to request a favor of you young kitsune." Shippo nodded, his heart hammering so loudly he thought Mirouku, Sango, and Lina would hear it. "Will you and your sister help Rin discipline Jaken for his insolence this afternoon? He kept muttering about how you three were insolent brats who deserved a spanking."
Shippo, Rin, and Kimiko all got very angry at this. So angry that Lina swore she saw flaming auras surrounding them.The grins that all three pups had on their faces made even Sesshomaru step back in fear. The Taiyoukai turned to Kagome and asked, "Lady Kagome, do you have any of your chocolate treats with you?" Kagome pulled a box of Pocky out of her back pack as well as three chocolate bars and handed the snacks to Sesshomaru, who then led them to what Inuyasha remembered as Jaken's quarters. Sesshomaru unlocked the door after dividing the Pocky and chocolate bars evenly between all three pups, who quickly ate them. Rin, Shippo, Kimiko, and Flamie waited as Sesshomaru said, "Jaken, your punishment for your insolence towards Rin and her friends is to babysit them and Kimiko's new pet dragon Flamie until dinner time in three hours." All three pups and Flamie rushed into the room as Jaken let out a loud squawk of dismay as Sesshomaru slammed the door shut and locked it.
Inuyasha had a huge grin on his face as he said, "Sesshy, you're really evil, giving the pups a sugar rush and locking them and Flamie in there with him. I just hope they don't kill him, I want a chance to slice him in half with Tetsusaiga!" The sound of three hyper kids bounching around the room at high speed mixed with the smell of burnt toad youkai as the adults exited the hallway and proceded to soak in the hotsprings until dinner. Kagome distributed swimsuits for everyone so they were all able to enjoy the poolsized hotspring. A huge water fight started up between the girls and the guys. Kagome and Sesshomaru both used their tails to splash the others, while Lina made the water flow in ways that defied the laws of physics.
Three hours later, Padme unlocked Jaken's door to find Rin, Shippo, and Kimiko playing fetch with Flamie as they tossed the Staff of Heads for the little dragon to retrieve while Jaken lay unconcious in a corner of the room dressed in a very feminine kimono and makeup. "Children, it's time for dinner," said Padme with a bow. All three pups and Flamie stopped their game and followed the panda youkai to the dining hall. Sesshomaru sat at the head of the table with Rin, Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, and Kimiko on his right and Lina, Mirouku, and Sango to his left. Kilala curled up by Sango's feet while Flamie did the same with Kimiko's feet. Padme served up a huge meal of Orange Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Panfried noodles, wantons, and other Chinese dishes. Everyone complemented Padme on her cooking and enjoyed the meal before turning in for the evening.
The next six months passed quickly, with the adults training Shippo, Rin, and Kimiko in the use of their youkai abilities and chosen weapons. Rin had mastered fighting with and throwing dagger, as well as her father's Dokkasou and youki whip attacks. Kimiko was learning archery from her mother and could already use her arrows to purify evil youkai plus the use of a small handheld version of Sango's Hiraikotsu for when she ran out of arrows as well as Inuyasha's Sankon Tessou. Shippo had progressed to the level where he could beat Inuyasha three out of five times in their practive fights, but he suspected that was because his foster father let him win the third round. Kilala gave birth to a beautiful black and white stripped kitten that Sango named Kodora, which meant small tiger, four months after Kimiko was born. The small fire cat grew quickly, but could not yet assume a large form like her mother.
Clearing deep inside Inuyasha's Forest
Two months after Kodora had been born, Kimiko and Sango were deep in the woods as Sango watched Kimiko practive with her mini boomerang that the young hanyou had named Bu-meran. "Senpuuken!" yelled Kimiko as she threw the boomerang at a youkai target with a fake aura. A blade of wind similar to Kagura's Fuujin no Mai attack formed around the boomerand as Kimiko managed to sniff out the fake Scar of the Wind and throw the boomerang through it. The attack shreded the target and Kimiko caught Bu-meran on its return and placed it in its carrying case on her belt as Sango applauded. "Excelent Kimiko, I had no idea you could use the Scar of the Wind like that!" exclaimed the Taijiya from her seat by Kilala, Flamie, and Kodora. The youkai exterminator was noticibly pregnant and Kimiko was eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new playmate.
Sango suddenly gasped as a contraction hit her, luckily she was leaning on Kilala at the time or she would have fallen over. "Auntie Sango, are you okay?" asked Kimiko as she dashed up to the woman supported by the firecat. "Kimiko, get your parents, my baby is ready to come out!" gasped Sango as a whimpering Kodora and Flamie gently licked her face.
Edge of Inuyasha's Forest, a few seconds ago
Everything was nice and quiet, the birds were singing, the sun was shining and then Kimiko yelled, "OOOKKKKAAAA-SSSSAAAAANNNNN! OOOOOTTTTOOOOUUU-SSSSAAAAANNNN!" The birds scattered from the forest and far away, the wolves of Kouga's pack howled in fear.
Middle of Kaede's village
Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo all winced as Kimiko's yell hit their ears. "Shippo, stay here with Mirouku incase something is wrong!" snapped Inuyasha befor running towards the forest with Kagome. "I think she gets her lungs from you Koibito," growled Inuyasha as they raced in the direction of Kimiko's yell. "I'm just glad she hasn't inherited your tounge and temper Inuyasha," countered Kagome with a grin. "Keh, I know better than to swear in front of our daughter, you'd sit me so many times I'd die of old age before the spell wore off." replied Inuyasha.
Kimiko's yell was still ringing in Sango's ears as Kagome and Inuyasha dashed into the clearing. The two adult hanyou quickly figured out what was going on from Sango's gasps and the smells of a baby ready to be born. Inuyasha scooped up Sango bridal style while Kimiko climbed on Kagome's back before they raced back to the village with Kilala, Kodora, and Flamie chasing after them. Inuyasha burst into Sango and Mirouku's hut and gently laid Sango on the bed before grabbing Kimiko from Kagome and exiting the hut to let Mirouku in. Kagome had cool water ready and mixed in the herbs Kaede had brought for Kimiko's birth and soaked a cloth for Sango's head. Kaede entered the hut as Mirouku sat down by the head of the bed and squeezed Sango's hand in his. The Taijiya responded by almost crushing every bone in his hand. "Owwww" murmured Mirouku as his face got all teary eyed. Inuyasha kept shippo and Kimiko amused while Kilala and Kodora curled up beside Sango in their small forms.
"What's going on in here?" asked Lina as she entered the hut and dropped a duffle bag beside the door. the demi goddess was alternating months in the modern era and learning to use her goddess powers and the feudal era, where she was able to relax and practice what she had learned without fear of being seen. Lina had just gotten back from a month at home and had been surprised to find no one in the forest or by the well. "Sango is in labor Lina. Is there anything you can do to help?" asked Kagome as she changed the cloth on Sango's forehead. Lina took in Sango's sweaty face and noddd before chanting, "Spirits of the air, moving unseen everywhere, head my plea for those in my care, bring a cool breeze here!" Instantly, a cool wind swept into the hut bringing the scent of the forest and the village with it. Sango sighed as the cool air seemed to caress her body, easing her death grip on Mirouku's hand a bit. Kaede suddenly cried, "Sango, I see thy child's head! Push child push!" Sango drew on her finely controlled muscles from her Taijiya training and pushed with her lowe leg muscles. A loud wail caused Kagome's ears to flatten as the baby made it known it had arrived and was hungry.
Kaede quickly cut and tied the baby's umbilical cord and gently dried it before handing the wailing bundle to Sango saying, "Ye have a strong son Sango. Mirouku, be sure to keep thy son free of thy lecherous ways, or I'll give thy wife a subduing necklace with the control word being 'Hentai'!" Mirouku flinched and blushed as Kagome and Lina laughed before he leaned over to look at his son in Sango's arms as she nursed him. Kagome and Lina exited the hut with Kaede and motioned Kohaku to enter.
The young Taijiya entered the hut and stood on the side of Sango opposite Mirouku. "So what are you going to name him, sis?" asked Kohaku. "I haven't really thought of any names yet," said Sango as her son finished nursing. Mirouku gently picked up his son and looked at his right palm. "At least he didn't inherit my wind tunnel," sighed the monk. "Let's just hope he didn't get your hentai habits Mirouku!" growled Sango. Mirouku's eyes widened and he suddenly grinned. "How about we name him after my master Mushin?" Sango snatched the baby, who squealed with delight as he was pulled through the air. "We are NOT naming our son after your perverted old drunkard of a master!" roared Sango.
Mirouku was slammed into the wall by the force of his wife's yell and fell to the floor. The door opened as Kagome slipped her head inside and asked, "Can we come in now?" Sango nodded and found herself sandwiched between Kimiko and Shippo on her sides with Flamie carefully sitting by her feet. Kimiko and Shippo used their tails to lightly tickle the baby, who gurgled happily and tried to grab the fluffies that kept darting out of his grasp. "Kawaii," sighed Lina as she leaned against the door and smiled at Kilala and Kodora curled up purring by Sango's head and licking her face. Kagome and Inuyasha made adoring comments about the baby, while Flamie used his wings to keep a nice breeze blowing over Sango. The sound of Flamie's wings attrackted the baby's attention. His little arms reached out towards Flamie and he smiled at the little dragon. Flaime rose up into the air and hovered above the baby emitting a rumble of greeting that dragons use for newborn dragonets. "How sweet," said Sango with a smile, "He likes seeing Flamie fly.. Hiryuu! That's what I'm going to name you sweetie!" Little Hiryuu smilled and laughed as his mother held him up in the air and flapped his arms weakly as he mimiced Flamie. "Hiryuu? Hmm, Flying Dragon, sounds good!" said Inuyasha with a grin.
A few days later, the two families and Lina set out for Sesshomaru's castle to introduce Hiryuu to Sesshomaru and Rin. They were greated at the front gate by a scowling Jaken. "What do you filthy halfbreeds want with Lord SesshomarOW!" squawked Jaken as a rock zipped through the air to hit the back of his head. Jaken turned to glare at a giggling Rin standing by Aun-Uh and casually tossing another rock in her hand before throwing it at Jaken. He blocked this one with his staff, only to feel resistance after blocking the projectile.
Jaken looked down to find the bottom of the staff gripped in Flamie's jaws. the little Dragon's teeth gleamed as he grinned and wagged his tail before starting to play tug-a-war with Jaken for the Staff of Heads. Jaken was jerked off his feet and swung through the air as he yelled at Flamie. "Let me down you insolent pest!" Flamie finally grew bored with the game and tossed Jaken and his staff into the air. The little toad landed on Aun-Uh's back, which caused the two headed dragon to turn his heads to glare at the little youkai, whom he had hated since Jaken had accidently fed him a sick rabbit for dinner. Then the staff of Heads hit Aun-Uh's heads and bounced into Jaken's lap. Now Aun-Uh wasn't really smart like Flamie, but he knew a few things. #1: Jaken was the user of the Staff of Heads. #2: The Staff of Heads had just hit him while Jaken was on his back. #3: Jaken deserved to be punished for feeding him that sick rabbit and for just whacking him with the Staff of Heads. Jaken was promptly thrown off the dragon who then started chasing him with Flamie, Kilala, and Kodora. Sesshomaru exited the castle to find his retainer cournered in a tree by the two dragons and firecats While Rin, Lina, and his brother's family and friends were all rolling on the ground with laughter except for Sango, who was telling Hiyruu that this was why you should never insult a dragon in any way and if you did, apolagize quickly. The Taiyoukai raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did this occur?"
"So that's what happened, Sesshomaru-Sama," said Sango as she fed Hiyruu with a bottle Kagome had brought from her time. The
Taijiya had recounted the story of her son's birth and what had happened upon their arrival at Sesshomaru's palace to introduce him to Sesshomaru and Rin. The Taiyoukai smiled and let Hiyruu grip one of his fingers, chuckling at the child's tight grip. He then turned to Jaken with the grin Jaken feared the most on his lips. "Jaken, if it were not for the presence of the pups, I would slice you in two for your disrespect of my brother and his mate. You were also rude to Aun-Uh when you didn't apolagize to him right away and explain that it was an accident. As it is, I have an alternative punishment planned for you." Sesshomaru proceded to tie Jaken upside down to a tree outside the castle walls and secured a raw piece of meat above him to atract wolves, foxes, bears, and other predators to keep him company through the night.
Bad news everyone, next Saturday my family is leaving for a three week trip to France, Germany, and Italy. This means no updates till I get back, but I'll try to write lots of chapters during the trip. Sorry for the disapointment and delay in the story, but I need some time to figure out what I'll do next.
Attacks used in this chapter:
Kimiko
Bu-meran (Boomerang)- small version of Hiraikotsu
Senpuuken (whirlwind blade)- Kimiko throws Bu-meran through wind scar, covers the boomerang in a blade of wind like the ones used by Kagura
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Oh My Goddess. The only characters I own are Kimiko, Flamie, and Lina.
I apologize in advance for any mistakes I make regarding Japanese customs or language usage.

"Kawaii," sighed Lina as she leaned against the door and smiled at Kilala and Kodora curled up purring by Sango's head and licking her face. Kagome and Inuyasha made adoring comments about the baby, while Flamie used his wings to keep a nice breeze blowing over Sango. The sound of Flamie's wings attrackted the baby's attention. His little arms reached out towards Flamie and he smiled at the little dragon. Flaime rose up into the air and hovered above the baby emitting a rumble of greeting that dragons use for newborn dragonets. "How sweet," said Sango with a smile, "He likes seeing Flamie fly.. Hiryuu! That's what I'm going to name you sweetie!" Little Hiryuu smilled and laughed as his mother held him up in the air and flapped his arms weakly as he mimiced Flamie. "Hiryuu? Hmm, Flying Dragon, sounds good!" said Inuyasha with a grin.
A few days later, the two families and Lina set out for Sesshomaru's castle to introduce Hiryuu to Sesshomaru and Rin. They were greated at the front gate by a scowling Jaken. "What do you filthy halfbreeds want with Lord SesshomarOW!" squawked Jaken as a rock zipped through the air to hit the back of his head. Jaken turned to glare at a giggling Rin standing by Aun-Uh and casually tossing another rock in her hand before throwing it at Jaken. He blocked this one with his staff, only to feel resistance after blocking the projectile.
Jaken looked down to find the bottom of the staff gripped in Flamie's jaws. the little Dragon's teeth gleamed as he grinned and wagged his tail before starting to play tug-a-war with Jaken for the Staff of Heads. Jaken was jerked off his feet and swung through the air as he yelled at Flamie. "Let me down you insolent pest!" Flamie finally grew bored with the game and tossed Jaken and his staff into the air. The little toad landed on Aun-Uh's back, which caused the two headed dragon to turn his heads to glare at the little youkai, whom he had hated since Jaken had accidently fed him a sick rabbit for dinner. Then the staff of Heads hit Aun-Uh's heads and bounced into Jaken's lap. Now Aun-Uh wasn't really smart like Flamie, but he knew a few things. #1: Jaken was the user of the Staff of Heads. #2: The Staff of Heads had just hit him while Jaken was on his back. #3: Jaken deserved to be punished for feeding him that sick rabbit and for just whacking him with the Staff of Heads. Jaken was promptly thrown off the dragon who then started chasing him with Flamie, Kilala, and Kodora. Sesshomaru exited the castle to find his retainer cournered in a tree by the two dragons and firecats While Rin, Lina, and his brother's family and friends were all rolling on the ground with laughter except for Sango, who was telling Hiyruu that this was why you should never insult a dragon in any way and if you did, apolagize quickly. The Taiyoukai raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did this occur?"
"So that's what happened, Sesshomaru-Sama," said Sango as she fed Hiyruu with a bottle Kagome had brought from her time. The
Taijiya had recounted the story of her son's birth and what had happened upon their arrival at Sesshomaru's palace to introduce him to Sesshomaru and Rin. The Taiyoukai smiled and let Hiyruu grip one of his fingers, chuckling at the child's tight grip. He then turned to Jaken with the grin Jaken feared the most on his lips. "Jaken, if it were not for the presence of the pups, I would slice you in two for your disrespect of my brother and his mate. You were also rude to Aun-Uh when you didn't apolagize to him right away and explain that it was an accident. As it is, I have an alternative punishment planned for you." Sesshomaru proceded to tie Jaken upside down to a tree outside the castle walls and secured a raw piece of meat above him to atract wolves, foxes, bears, and other predators to keep him company through the night.
Bad news everyone, next Saturday my family is leaving for a three week trip to France, Germany, and Italy. This means no updates till I get back, but I'll try to write lots of chapters during the trip. Sorry for the disapointment and delay in the story, but I need some time to figure out what I'll do next.
