Chapter two
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
About six years passed and Sango and Miroku had two daughters Cho-three years old and Sakura-five years old. Inuyasha and Kagome also had another daughter as well Naomi-four years old. Each child of Kagome and Inuyasha were each given a necklace with their name carved into a stone, a gift from Mrs. Higurashi, who was delighted by the fact that she now had grandchildren; but was a little disappointed to find out they didn't each inherit Inuyasha's doggy ears. Everything seemed right in the world. Shippo who of course aged slower then the rest looked about 10 and frequently visited everyone.
One day while the Children where playing outside, "Lani! Its tag NOT 'tackle everyone to the ground'!" yelled Ryu "feh" was her response. "Lani why don't you go inside and go play dolls or something with Sakura and Naomi" said Ryu.
"What?! No way! Why would I want to go play that stupid game?"
"Oh yah I forgot you weren't a girl" said Ryu earning him a snigger from some of the other village boys. Tears started to form in her eyes and she quickly turned around and stormed off. "Aw come on Lani we're just playing around! And plus home the other way!" yelled Ryu "girls" he muttered while watching her run off. 'Well now I have to go get her before she gets herself in trouble, mom and dad would never forgive me if that happened....stupid girl.' He thought while running after the retreating figure.
'I'll show him!' thought Lani who was seeing red 'what a jerk' a smirk began to form on her little face 'wait till mommy hears.' With that thought she began to turn around only to ram into something. She fell to the ground with a 'thump' and looked up to a tall dark figure with a smirk on his face.
"Well, well, well what do we have here? Now why would a pretty little girl like you be so far away from home?" he said. She didn't like this guy, something about him made her blood run cold she wanted to run, scream, anything but she couldn't move. She soon heard a familiar person running towards her, she finally mustered up her voice and screamed "RYU!!!" and with that the figure grabbed her.
"RYU!!!" he heard her voice, something was wrong with how it sounded; he began to run faster just in time to see a tall figure grab HIS sister! "Hey you! What do you think you're doing with MY sister?!" Ryu quickly retracted his claws and began to charge towards him "Let her GO!" he swiped at the man, with that as a distraction Lani quickly bit the man piercing his skin with her slight fags. He yelped in pain whipping her towards the ground knocking her unconscious. Ryu watched as it happened and rage filled him, his eye had a tint of red to them as he charged the man again, this time the man, just before Ryu could hit him, did a swift but powerful kick to Ryu's stomach. Ryu groaned in pain while dropping to his knees. He fought to stay conscious he began to reach towards his sister grabbing a bit of her kimono, before he felt something hit him in the back of the head and then only seeing darkness.
Ryu slowly opened his eyes feeling a piercing pain rush through him "Ugh" he groaned. 'What happened? He thought 'Why does my head hurt so much' he slowly lifted up his arm to touch the back of his head, he winced with pain. Suddenly the memories of what happened rushed back to him he quickly shot his eyes open "LANI!!!" he yelled. Kagome rushed into the room to aid her son. "Mom! Lani-man-her" he stuttered. Kagome held him in an embrace shushing him.
"Ryu calm down, breath honey tell me what happened."
Ryu told her the whole story including him making fun of her which immense guilt began to built, and he had told her of the man whose face could not be seen and the look of fear Lani had on her face. He looked at his mom and noticed how red and puffy her eyes were.
"M-mom, please tell me she's ok, please" asked Ryu with a pleading look. Kagome looked at him then put her head down and tears started to fall from her face. Ryu began to chock back a sob 'No...this can't be happening. It's my fault; Lani is gone because of...me.'
"I can't be here" Ryu muttered to himself. Ryu quickly got up and began to race towards the door ignoring the pain from his head. He ignored the cries of his mother 'I don't deserve her love, I don't deserve anything!' his thoughts racing through his head. He whipped open the door to run out but was grabbed firmly on the shoulders. He looked up to a pair of golden eyes much like his own but these had despair, anger, and sadness. Ryu turned his face away. 'I can't face my father...I can't even face myself' with that thought running through his mind Ryu tried getting past his father but Inuyasha's grip just tightened. Finally out of frustration Ryu yelled "LET ME GO! I DON'T DESERVE TO EVEN BE HERE!" with that he felt a little bop on his head. Ryu looked to the face of his father "Ryu stop. Tell me what happened to your sister" at this point Ryu's little 8 years old mind couldn't take it he broke do
