----------------------------------------
Two albinos, one with pink eyes, the other with gold ones, dashed across the burnt rooftops of modern Japan. The one with gold eyes stopped, got down on all fours and sniffed the ground with his partially-formed doggy nose. He frowned. "Damn demons."
"Demons? How did they get here?"
"Probably their drive for the jewel, sis."
The pink-eyed one blinked. "What do you mean?" she asked in her high alto voice.
"You know, the Shikon Jewel?"
The girl wrinkled her nose. "Mommy and Daddy told us their tale. I know more than *you* could ever remember, because YOU never bothered to listen!! Just like Mommy said she used to when her granpa told her all those tales, including about the 'Kappa' water sprite!"
The boy blinked. "You remember it all from start to finish, don't you?"
The female albino nodded. "Yep. Now let's go find Mommy and Daddy."
They continued on their trek across the rooftops. The girl suddenly caught her foot on a shingle and fell through the already ruined ceiling with a scream.
The boy stopped. "SEISHIN!!" he yelped. The dog-boy hopped back and purposely fell through. His sister sat on the floor, sniffling. The boy snorted. "I thought you were being eaten by a demon, not fallin' through some burnt roof that smells a lot like..." He sniffed the air and slowly made his way out the broken door, following the scent.
"Nekome? Where are you goin'?"
"Oh, shit... I smell our parents, sis... and they don't smell alive."
"Nani...?!!" She scrambled to her feet and stopped by her brother's side. The bodies before them weren't rotted just yet, but they stank of battle and blood. She broke into tears and her brother held her close.
"What I don't get, sis, is why they would keep our brother here, but send only US to America? I know that he was given our father's latest sword carving, and that he was one of the favorites of Dad, but..."
"But, what, oniisan?" she asked, wiping her now dry eyes but they were slightly puffy.
'That was a fast cry...'
"...I dunno. Maybe I'm just trying to fool myself into thinking their was an excuse. We could have helped fight those demons!"
"...And get killed in the process! I don't think that's what they wanted! Wait, how much of the Shikon Jewel did they collect, again?"
"Almost all of it, but somehow Mom lost sight of the Jewel Shards during their journey and they really couldn't continue it. They couldn't use Kaede, because although she could see them, she was too old, and was needed in the village."
"Then, you know what?"
"What?"
"We gotta find oniisan Kurohi!"
"Wait, let's go to the well. We have Jewel Shards, remember? We'll go there, into the Feudal Era. Kurohi's probably there."
"Okay! Shall I get any of my stuffs?"
"Just get your bow. You may be needed for long range shots, and, anyway, I don't want you hurt. What kinda brother would I be?"
She giggled. "A fourteen-year-old who doesn't care about his ten-year-old sister?"
"Duh. Iku-mashou yo!"
"Matte yo! I need my clothes!!" She dashed inside, her older brother following her. In her room, she pulled out several kimonos and handed some red garbs from a trunk to Nekome. He realized that they were sewn from fire rats' fur. "Let's put these on so we'll blend in better!"
"Not in front of you!"
"Of course! You go change into your room before I OSUWARI-"
Her brother fell face-first into the carpet.
"-you!" She blinked. "Oops, I didn't mean to sit-"
Just as he was starting to get up, he fell down again.
"-you... Gomen..." She smiled awkwardly and ushered him out of her room as soon as he could walk. She changed into a white and red kimono and when she came out, Nekome was in a red.. well, whatever it was. Daddy wore something exactly like it during his life in the Feudal Era. "Okay! Let's go!!"
Exiting the home, they entered the Well-House that hid the Bone-Eater's Well.
"Seishin, get onto my back."
Securing the bow and arrows across her back, the girl got onto her brother's back, wrapping her legs around his waist and arms around his neck. "Ready."
"Okay." He jumped with a light grunt, and they hit the bottom of the well lightly. Nekome grinned as he looked up at the blue sky, then the grin mutated into something wicked. Seishin sweat-dropped and her ears flattened against her head.
"No~~~ big brother! No-"
Her brother picked her up and threw her up out of the well, giggling as her shrieks pierced the air, and most likely alerting their brother if he was there, possibly.
***
The full demon's and quarter demon's black ears perked up at the sound of a scream. Kurohi abruptly stood up, blue eyes wide. "Oh no! Imouto!!"
"You have a little sister?"
Kurohi nodded once. "Hai. Seishin-chan! Later, Sesshomaru!" He flit off across the tops of trees, and eventually came across a white-haired, pink- eyed girl with white dog ears. He stopped and embraced the girl tightly. "Seishin-chan! I thought you and Nekome-chan were in America!"
"W-we got back on our own."
Kurohi frowned and backed off slightly, gripping her shoulders. "You and he ran back?"
"Yeah," Nekome replied, sitting on a tree branch. There was a silence. "What, you aren't happy to see your otouto?" His dark gray ears twitched. His white hair re-spiked itself as he jumped down and ran a hand through them. He folded his arms, resting his hands on the insides of the red sleeves of his "shirt". (A/N: What's the name of Inuyasha's clothing??) "What, do I have to actually say, fuckin' 'hello'?"
"OSUWARI!!"
Nekome was thrust into the ground by BOTH his siblings. After a moment, he groaned and sat up. "What was THAT for?!!"
Kurohi hoisted his sister across his shoulders. Her legs dangled against the boy's chest and she held on by grabbing his dog-ears.
"Oniisan?"
"Mmm?"
"Did someone piss you off?" she asked, sensing his tense body shift slightly.
"Seishin!" he reprimanded. "But, yeah, the younger version of our mom pissed me off." He seemed calmer and a tad more sedated with his sister around. He liked her more than his brother, and held a special affection toward her. He flicked his ears and Seishin reached up to rub them, hearing the soft sigh he uttered. She let go of his ear and it flicked again with disappointment.
"Ooh! What'd she do THIS time?" she yipped just before she let go of his ear. It was always fun to see the eldest brother get into fights with their mother.
He snorted. "She did not let me explain about something. Let's go find Miroku. C'mon, Nekome." His tail grabbed his brother by the ear and started to drag him with them.
"Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-owwwww!!"
"Quit your howling, Nekome," drawled Kurohi.
He stood up and wrenched the tail away from his ear. He caught up with his two siblings.
Kurohi grinned. "Race ya."
Nekome snorted. "With that weight on ya, you'll never win!"
"Just try me! Ready-"
Nekome started to run. Kurohi caught up and dashed ahead, calling, "I'll meet you at the site! Later!!"
Kurohi dashed to the site and stopped upon seeing Miroku, Kilala (A/N: I FINALLY figured out how to spell it!), Shippo, and Sango, but no Inuyasha.
"Oi, Miroku, where's pops?" Kurohi asked, eyeing Seishin one last time before making eye contact with the monk. He hoped that Nekome didn't reveal anything.. interesting.. about himself. He also hoped that he wouldn't do the same about Nekome, who was, in reality, a smart-ass, peeping tom.
He shrugged. "Went to find Kagome. Who's that on your shoulders? And who's that behind you?"
Nekome stepped forth. "MY name's Nekome, and the girl on by oniisan's shoulders name's Seishin."
"You're..."
"Siblings. The sons and daughter of Inuyasha and Kagome Higarashi," replied Nekome, grinning.
Seishin jumped off the shoulders she perched on. She looked at Kilala and smiled. "Kilala, come."
"Prrr?" the cat demon approached the child and allowed herself to be petted. The girl demon giggled while indulging herself in that task.
Nekome snorted and fingered the Prayer Beads around his neck. Shippo, Miroku and Sango chuckled. "You can be 'sat', too, Nekome?"
He shrugged and grunted an affirmative.
Kurohi patted the fourteen-year-old's head. "Yes, because of his rude potty- mouth and temper. Not only that, he peeks under girls' skirts. Especially when they're playing certain games that include jumping."
So much for not revealing anything...
The monk chuckled and wrapped an arm about the youngest boy's shoulders. "Now, Nekome, let me indulge you on some of my... 'secrets', ne?"
Nekome's eyes widened and a mischievous glint could be seen. "Do~ tell!"
Sango sighed as the two boys wandered off somewhere to talk. She crouched near the girl and touched one ear. It flicked and she turned her head, grinning like an idiot.
"How old are you?" asked the demon huntress.
"Ten. I age at a human speed, but Mommy said that I might retain a young- adult youth half as long as Daddy did.. er, does, er..."
"Just say 'does' because in this timeline, he is still young, okay, sis?" asked Kurohi. He closed his eyes a moment and rested.
There was silence until a ruffling of fabric and leaves came from above. Inuyasha landed near Kurohi and silently motioned the girl.
Kurohi smirked. "Your future daughter." He called, "Oh, and, Seishin?"
She looked up and saw her Daddy. She bounded up and hugged him tightly around the neck, giggling. The hanyou's eyes went wide as he supported her weight. One hand held up her bottom while the other rested against the back of her head. He looked up as Kurohi spoke again, this time, with a low tone.
"The bad thing is, is that she and Nekome, your other future son, have Jewel Shards inside them, like I did."
----------------------------------------
Ooh, we have another Peeping Tom AND more Jewel Shards! What will Inuyasha do?
I hope it was okay that I made this chapter an introduction of the siblings! I was kinda out of ideas for the current conditions... and I still need ideas for a pairing. How about this, you lovely people out there fill out an application for a character you'd like to fall in love with Kurohi or Nekome (Seishin's a little young, but affections to her is okay). They could either have a Jewel Shard (or more) and come from future Japan, or they could be from the Feudal Era and be interested in him at your own decided pace. Please include background information, and if I like your character, I'll e-mail you. You include your character's profile in your Review, if you like. Nekome strictly likes girls, and Kurohi prefers boys around his age, but for the sake of appearance, just may take a girl.
This "contest" shall go on for a few days (or weeks) until I find a proper character(s) that would work out best with the two boys.

----------------------------------------
Example
Name: Nekome
Hair Color: White; is spiked from head down
Eye Color: Gold; contains brown flecks
Age: 14
Height: 5'
Attacks: Poison Steel Claws, Blades of Blood, Demon form (controllable),
Body Type: Slightly muscled
Likes: Peeping under girls' skirts at school, Pretty girls, Fighting, Pissin' his brother and dad off, Making his sister scream like a baby, Chocolate, Ramen, Miroku (not like that!),
Dislikes: Screams that break glass or other high-pitched noises.
Turn-Ons: Sunrises, Sunsets, Bishoujo.
Other: Doggy-nose, Dark-gray dog-ears.
Background: The second son of Inuyasha and Kagome. He has the inherited Poison Claw ability from the side of Inuyasha's father that passed the ability to Sesshomaru. He and Sesshomaru get along well, and he particularly enjoys beating the shit out of Jakkin, much to the imp's dismay. Despite his actions with his sister and brother, he is protective of them, but has a slight fear of death, which occurred when he saw his dead parents' bodies lying on the ground. His constant peeping at women and girls gets him several "sits" and knocks on the head, but he feels the pain is worth it for the sights he sees. He feels that if a woman (or anyone) were to ever be taller than he is, he would not have the upper hand, but this type of vision somehow never ignores his skills as a lover/fighter. Nekome IS a virgin, but reads enough books and other things online to compensate. He hates being alone, and will even talk to himself to nullify that loneliness. He also likes to play hero, and despises it when Kurohi takes the spotlight and continues his work when he wasn't even finished off. Give him what he wants, and he will gloat over it... otherwise, be prepared for a fight that ends with the word: "OSUWARI"!
I am practically done with the demon pic of Kurohi. Those who want to see it, e-mail &/or review and ask. I am more than happy to share my works!
