Kagome's Heritage
By Tekkaman Xero
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha or Gold Digger. Lawyers will be rudely reminded of this fact.
Chapter 7
When I look at them, I see something comparable to ants. Mere insects there to be stomped by the greater creatures. Humans have no right to exist on this world as the dominant species, yet they continue to live while the number of demons dwindles.
Halflings like Inu-Yasha are more common than full-blooded demons, now. Halflings who don't know their own potential are even more common. Even the lycanthropes were almost dead. This day and age needs a revival of demons. But to do that, the few demons that are still around need a leader.
And I will be that leader. Though with so few demons I must create armies of pathetic almost-demons to make my war. Demons that in such high numbers couldn't defeat Inu-Yasha's pathetic group.
"I must find a powerful ally if I am to defeat them." Naraku finished his inner monologue with a vocal comment that attracted the attention of someone nearby.
"Then perhaps I could be of assistance."
"And just who are you?"
Naraku turned to face the man, or rather, the creature before him. He stood about Naraku's height, but that was all he could see. The man was silhouetted against the sunlight.
"Merely a person who has a grudge against some of your current enemies. I would be more than happy to help you out."
At the Higurashi Shrine.
"Dr. Diggers, sir, I need to ask you something."
"What is it, Xero?"
Xero glanced over at Yuka, who was making(somewhat uncomfortable) conversation with Britanny. "Not here. Outside."
Theo didn't question Xero. He simply stood and went outside.
"Is there any way you could scan Yuka for Lycanthropic heritage without her knowing?"
"I already have."
"HUH?!"
"I sensed something different about her, too, so I took a good look and made sure she wouldn't know. The girl has some very strong lycanthropic blood. From either one of her parents or grandparents. I can't tell what type, but if she's willing, we could find out."
"How?"
"Exposure to certain types of magic tends to stir lycanthropic blood. Healing magic is one of them. It would only require a healing spell to awaken it. But I don't know if she could take the shock."
"She's a tough girl. We all have to admit that, but in the light of recent events, I don't know how much she can take. I. I don't think we should risk this if we can avoid it. But if that attack was any example, we need all the help we can get."
"A wise decision. We should keep this a secret unless we have no choice."
"I have a feeling that fate has already decided her future on this matter. I just hope she can live through this."
In the feudal times.
"I'm sorry, child. But I have no way of discovering if a person has lycanthropic blood before they change. If this mage who has been helping cannot figure it out, then it won't be possible."
"I see."
"Kagome," Miroku spoke up, "Are you sure you don't need our help?"
"Naraku has those poison bees to prevent you from using your Air Void, and beyond that you can't do much against him. And Shippo is still a child. Sango's help is the best we can do.. I can only hope it's enough." With that, Kagome stood, "I probably won't be back until we've defeated Naraku." And she left.
From outside the village, a pair of eyes watched Kagome as she headed for the well. "So. Naraku is in the future. I still owe him for the last time we met."
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken called out, arriving at his master's feet.
"Jaken. I will be leaving for a while. I want to watch Rin. Keep her safe."
"B-but, My lord!"
Sesshomaru wasn't listening.
The well.
Kagome was preparing to jump in and let Xero know what Kaede had said when she heard and smelled someone in the area. "Who's there?!"
"Your senses are developing quickly. When I heard what you had become, I decided I had to see it for myself."
"Sesshomaru." Kagome prepared to run. Sesshomaru was a demon, but she was sure he couldn't outrun a werecheetah.
"Calm yourself, lycanthrope. I have come here to help."
THAT stopped any thought of running, "Help?! What do you mean?!"
"Naraku apparently considers me useless, now. He has sent demons after me. I feel I owe him for it."
Kagome didn't know what to do. Bringing Sesshomaru back could be a very bad thing. Wait. Inu-Yasha has always been able to defeat him. And we have even more people to help out if he tries to betray us. "Okay. But remember that if you try anything funny, we won't hesitate to kill you."
"Fair enough. Now, how do we get to your time?"
So, he knows I'm from the future, now, but that's ALL he knows. Oh, well. "Simple," With speed only a werecheetah possesses, she grabbed Sesshomaru's arm. "Hop in." And with that, she pulled him into the well.
Present time.
When Inu-Yasha smelled Kagome's return, he quickly noticed the presence of his brother's scent. The entire household was made known of Sesshomaru's arrival by Inu-Yasha battlecry.
Kagome and Sesshomaru had just gotten out of the well when Inu-Yasha burst in, Tetsusaiga drawn. "SIT!!!!!!" And then he was on the ground. "Inu- Yasha, your brother is here to help us for once! Now put that away!!!"
"Stupid. How can you trust him.?"
"I can't. But we need all the help we can get. And you've beaten him before, so if he gets to be a problem we can deal with it!"
"What is going on out here?!" Was Xero's inquiry as he and Brianna(who had one of her armors on, guns, bombs, and peebos ready) arrived at the mini- shrine.
"Everyone, meet Sesshomaru. Inu-Yasha's half-brother."
End chapter 7.
Author's notes: Sorry I took so long. Reality can be a bitch, sometimes. Anyway, this chapter is a little rushed(not so much as the last one, though. As it's quality is definitely superior). Originally I intended this chapter to be fully dedicated to seeing why Naraku was doing what he wanted to. I even had a nice five-page monologue on my laptop that would have been the entire chapter. Then my laptop got stolen and when I got it back half the stuff had been erased(I've tried to recover it, but it's been written over.). I couldn't get inspired to re-type it, so that tiny little opening blurb was all we got of my original intention.
Anyone who guesses who came to talk to Naraku gets to be a pre-reader for my new fanfic! Here is your only hint:
HE is a Gold Digger villain.
The issue of Yuka as a lycanthrope is still open to suggestion(see notes on previous chapter for details), and I've expanded things so the issue isn't whether or not she has lycanthrope blood, but whether or not I'll have it awakened. Right now, the votes lean towards having it awakened, and having her as a werejaguar. However, there have been very FEW votes and I would like more input. So please! E-mail or post your votes in a review!! Fan input is IMPORTANT TO ME!!!
