Twisted Love

Chapter 12: Murder Mission, Serenity Tsuroka

They all sat around the table, Inu Taisho talking to his daughter. Rin talking to Azuki, and InuYasha and Sesshomsru have a 'brotherly' talk. They ended up fighting anyway

"So you guys, what've you been up to?" asked Serenity taking a sip of her soda

"Rin and I married six months ago"

"Nothing, just doing the usual" said InuYasha. 'Should I tell her about Kagome..maybe she's better off not knowing'

They finished dinner and InuYasha went back to his room. Serenity went after him a couple of minutes later. She went up to his room and he was sitting on the bed holding a picture. He looked up at her as she stood over him.

She looked down at InuYasha "Why are you so sad Yashie?"

"Huh, I'm not sad" InuYasha denied as he placed the picture under his pillow.

"Yeah you are, I can feel it remember"

'Fucking bond, I hate it sometimes' "It's nothing, don't worry about it"

"Yashie, please tell me what's going on" Serenity pleaded. InuYasha took a deep breath and made his sister sit down next to him.

"Fine, I'll tell you. It's about Kagome"

"Who's Kagome?"

"I'll tell you, as soon as you tell me who your mate is"

"Huh?" Serenity's cheeks flushed.

"I can see the mark, plus I smell a different scent on you and I think I've smelled it before" InuYasha said with a smirk. "Someone I know?"

InuYasha tickled Serenity's sides, making her laugh. "Beg little brat, beg for mercy"

"Mercy!" Serenity's tears ran down her cheeks. InuYasha smiled and stopped tickling her. They sat up again.

"Well..It all started two years ago..." Serenity started as InuYasha placed close attention

Serenity walked down the streets of Italy, two black shoping bags at hand. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw someone headed in to a dark alley. Curiosity got the best of the girl so she went ran home to leave the food there. She grabbed some of her uncle's clothes, and the first aid kit. Serenity ran back to where she had seen the person, a trail of blood underneath her feet.

"Who's there?"

"Please, let me help you" Serenity said.

"No, get out of here!" the voice shouted at her. His voice was deep and it frightened Serenity. She took a deep breath, controling some of her short temper. She pointed the finger at InuYasha for that one.

"Listen buddy, I wanna help you, theres a fucking blood trail starting from a couple of feet behind me. I'm not this nice to people I don't even know, now, get your fucking ass over here and let me help you! I've got food, clothes, and a first aid kit"

She heard him grumble, but he came out "Fine, help me and I'll get going"

"Fine"

She took a better look at him. It looked like he'd been badly hurt, he had scratches all over his body and the only thing he was wearing was a little cloth covering him. He had black short hair pulled up into a high ponytail, he had deep blue eyes and he was staring at her while she bandaged him up. He put on her uncle's clothes and ate some of the food that she brought.

"So, who do I thank? You do have a name right?" he asked as he ate the last piece of bread.

"Oh right, my name is Serenity. What's yours?"

"I'm Kouga. Where am I?"

"Your in Italy"

"What!? How'd I get here!?"

"What do you mean?"

"I was in Japan just a couple of hours ago"

"Um..well, I have no clue how'd you get here..But your here, so deal with it"

"You remind me of someone"

"Who?"

"I don't remeber the name, but your eyes and attutide remind me of someone"

"Really, I wouldn't know. I don't associate much with people from Japan."

"But, you're Japanese"

"Yes, I know that, but I live here in Italy. Gotta speak Italian and their ain't many Japanese people here I can communicatw with"

"Oh" Kouga looked at her. "Have any siblings?"

"Nope, I live with my aunt and uncle"

"Oh, how bout your parents?"


"Back in Japan" Serenity mumbled as she stuffed the things back in to the first aid kit. ''You can stay in the back house we have if you want, or until you wanna go back to Japan. Things are very expencive here and by the looks of you, I'd say you don't have any cash on you"

"Your right"

"Alright then, c'mon" Serenity said as she helped him up. "Wolf youkai?"


"Yeah"

"We don't have many youkai here, but I guess my aunt and uncle wouldn't mind. Oh, by the way, I can defend myself. Try something and I swear I'll kick your ass"

"Don't worry, I got no intention of harming you"

"Heh, better safe then sorry"

"Kouga and I mated a year ago, but we came back. He knows I came to visit my parents"

"Kouga" InuYasha said through gritted teeth. Serenity gasped, feeling rage and sadness shot down her body. A small voice telling her that she feared her own brother. InuYasha's eyes flashed red, the markings beginning to appear on his face. Serenity fell off the bed, her instincs telling her to run for her life. She, however, stayed.

"Yashie, what's wrong?"

"That bastard killed her!" InuYasha said getting up and throwing the lamp, making it fall dangerously close to his sister. Serenity gasped and rolled over, enough to make the lamp shatter next to her. At that point, she knew her own life was in danger. Everyone downstairs heard the things break and InuYasha shouting, they quickly went upstairs.

"Yashie, stop it!" Serenity shouted while getting up "Who did Kouga kill!?"

InuYasha snarled loudly at her, taking a swipe at her. Serenity threw herself back, feeling the air from InuYasha's claws hit her nose. She hit the bed, making the picture beneath the pillow slip out. Serenity glanced at it.

"He killed Kagome, he killed my mate" InuYasha grabbed her and pressured her arms at her sides. Wincing, Serenity's scent radiated of fear. Serenity's eyes went wide, Kouga was so sweet and gentle. He never talked about his life before he met her, just after they met. The rest of the family bolted into the room and saw everything recked and ruined. Tears flowed out of her eyes. Sesshomaru and Inu Taisho tried to calm down the now fully transformed InuYasha so he wouldn't hurt his own sister.

"InuYasha!" Inu Taisho grabbed Tetsusaiga, shoving it on to InuYasha's chest. "Calm down!"

InuYasha's eyes flashed back to gold and then back to red. He forcefully threw the girl on the floor.

"What the hell did you do to her!?" asked Sesshomaru as he stepped into the room and towards his sister. InuYasha stared at Serenity. Before Sesshomaru could reach her, Serenity jumped up to face InuYasha. She glared menacingly at her brother

"InuYasha!" she shouted as she slapped him hard, making his head jerk to the side. InuYasha thought for a minute.

'Shit, that's the first time she's ever called me InuYasha'

"You're angry, yes! How do you know it's the same Kouga? How do you know if your mate is dead? Think, InuYasha, think! It could've been a trick, a trick to seperate you!"

Inuyasha looked at her and dropped his head down, flatning his ears.

"I'm sorry" he muttered and left the room. Once again Serenity was cunsumed with saddness, not her own though. Until he wasen't happy, she wasen't happy. She looked at everybody and left to her own room

"So, where have you been the last two years Kouga?" said Kikyo. Naraku stood beside her

"Yeah, we thought you were dead" said Naraku

"Well, when Kagome's power hit me somehow I ended up in Italy"

"Ok, is there anymore"

"Yes, a girl helped me and later we became mates"

"How adorable Kouga!" shouted Kikyo "Finally found somebody who loves you"

"Yeah I know, and I love her very much to. She's changed me" Kouga said with a smile. Kikyo looked at him with a smirk

"Ok, before you came Narake was going to tell me something"

"Ah yes, We just recived word that InuYasha and Sesshomaru have a younger sister. She's in town" Naraku said

Kikyo smiled "Add her to our list."

"Why InuYasha's sister?" asked Naraku

"The more pain, the better" Kikyo said. She grabbed the gun and threw it at Kouga. "Do whatever you please with her, kill her, and then bring her to me."

"No, Kikyo, I'm not part of your scheme anymore. I have a mate, someone that I love. I refuse to take another life away."

"You can't say no to me, Kouga." Kikyo said. "Roam the city, I'll know where you are..When I give you the word, you better kill the girl nomatter who she is!"

"I said, No!"

"You will do it, damnit!" Kikyo got up. "Unless you want me to take your life away. Drink this potion, it'll eliminate your youkai senses."

"Why?"

"Just do it, it'll be easier. I don't want you to go soft"

Kouga growled at her, but drunk the potion. "Alright, but after this Kikyo, you'll never hear from me again"

"Alright" Kikyo smirked as Kouga retreated.

'I'm sorry Serenity. After I kill InuYasha's sister, we'll leave somewhere where no one will find us. We'll raise our pups and live happy together. I'm so sorry my koi, but I have to do this.'

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"FOUND HIM!" Rochelle screamed out. Kagome jumped up on her chair, it had already been two days. Rochelle printed out some papers and handed them to kagome. Kagome took a good look at the boy in the picture and smiled

"That's Souta"

"Good, I've already aranged custody for you, so when you get him back you can take him to your apartment immediatly"

"Already?, that was qiuck"

"I know, I work fast"

"Ok, I'll come pick him up in a couple of hours, I need new clothes anyway"

"Ok, come around eight ok"

"Fine, I'll get some stuff for him to"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIi

Serenity headed outside and towards the mall. She wanted to take her mind off of InuYasha for a bit so she headed towards the mall. She got there and headed into a store to see if she liked anything. She started looking around, she spotted a black raven haired girl, a red head, a blond, and some other people. As she looked at the clothing, someone knocked her down.

"Oof" said Serenity as she was thrown back and hit the wall. The girl probably couldn't even see where she was going, her clothes pile was huge of women's clothes and boy's clothes.

She put the clothes down "I'm so sorry, I didn't see you" said the girl

"It's ok" Serenity said as she got up. She looked up at the girl, she was atleast two inches taller than herself. The girl saw Serenity's eyes and her eyes went wide, Serenity noticed so she decided to change the subject "Hi, I'm Serenity"

The girl shook her head a bit and smiled "I'm Kagome"

Serenity's smile faded as she rememberd InuYasha's words.

"He killed Kagome, he killed my mate"

"Your name is Kagome?"

"Yeah"

"Now that's what you call ironic. My brother's mate was named Kagome, but she died."

"Oh, and who is your brother?" Kagome asked. 'What if it's Yash, but he never told me he had a sister'

"He's my twin'' Serenity started

'Forget it, InuYasha isn't a twin'

"His name is InuYasha and our older brother's name is-"

"Sesshomaru" Kagome interrupted. Her eyes where filled with tears

"How'd you know?" asked Serenity, watching as the girl's eyes shed tears.

"I'm Kagome! I'm InuYasha'a mate!"

'Yashie said his mate was dead'

"Is he still alive!?" Kagome asked, Serenity nodded. Kagome jumped up and down with happiness

"Yashie said that you were dead" Serenity started. Kagome stared at her and remebered that Kouga shot her

"I was" Kagome started "Kouga shot me with a bullet and I did die, only something saved me"

'Kouga did shoot her!' Serenity thought with a grimace.

''I'm sorry that Kouga shot you, but I can assure you that Kouga's changed"

"What?"

"I'll explain everything to you, come on let's go grab a bit to eat"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"When I was in America I saw on the news that my house had been attacked and everyone died. My brother lived and now I'm taking custody over him" Kagome said "Kikyo told me the day I woke up that Inuyasha had died and she transfered me to America. I've been living by myself, until I heard that my brother was still alive"

"Oh" Serenity said. She had explained to Kagome about Kouga, about how she got sent to Italy and couldn't return, and how InuYasha told her about Kagome.

"Wanna come with me to pick up my brother?"

"Sure, but afterwards I'm taking your home"

"Home?"

"Yup, to see Yashie again" Kagome's heart skipped a beat, after all this time she was going to finally see InuYasha.

"How about you, InuYasha never told me he had a twin sister"

"Yes, well it's very complicated"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Rochelle, we're here for Souta"

"Right" said Riochelle "Souta, your sister is here"

Souta ran out of the room and hugged Kagome with all he had.

"Kagome, I missed you so much!"

"I've missed you to Souta" Kagome's eyes filling with tears.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Fuck, there nothing on t.v" InuYasha grumbled. 'Figures, everyone leaves when I come in. Probably won't be back until tomorrow' He flipped through the channels, finally falling asleep on the couch, his dreams filled with his mate.

"No!"

"Why not?"

"Because, wench, I say so"

"Please!"

"No!"

"Please"

"Fuck no!" InuYasha growled at his mate.

"Please, please, please, please" Kagome begged. "I've never gotten to rub your ears"

"So, I don't like them touched"

"Please, InuYasha! I'm your mate"

"Nothin' to do with it, Kagome"

"Yes, it does. I get free access to your ears because, I'm your one and only mate"

"Feh, still don't see the point"

"My point is..." Kagome grabbed one of his ears, rubbing it. "Ohh, your ears are SO adorable"

Kagome latched on to the other one, pushing InuYasha on his back. She placed his head on her lap, scratching the base of his ear with one hand while the other one played with his ear. A low rumbling sound errputed from his chest, sending vibrations throughout Kagome.

"That feels good, Kagome"

"It feels good for me to" Kagome said with a smile. "Love you"

"Love you to"

"K'gome" InuYasha drew his eyebrows together. Golden eyes opened and he looked around. Shaking his head, InuYasha got up. His ears twtiched, listening as the front door opened.

"Yashie?" Serenity poked her head inside. "Hiya"

"Hey, Serenity" InuYasha smiled.

"I brought someone for you, I hope you enjoy your night"

"Feh, waste your time"

"No, I didn't" Serenity winked at him and left. InuYasha fell back, rolling his eyes. He heard footsteps approaching, an all too familiar scent surrounding him. His eyes shot open and he sat up, his eyes landing on his angel, his mate.

"Kagome"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"We're here" Serenity announced. Souta followed her in. "Alrighty, there's food in the kitchen, and make yourself at home. After all, you are family"

"Alright, thanks Serenity" Souta plopped down on the couch and turned on the television.

"Anything to eat?"

"Nope, not hungry. Thanks anyway"

"No problem" Serenity took off her jacket.

"Your mate lives with you?"

"No, this is my apartment. He plans to move in though" Serenity smiled "Kay, I'm gonna change. Call me if you need anything"

"Alright!"

Serenity traveled to her room, opening the door. She tried to turn on the lights, but they wouldn't turn on.

"Hmmm, weird" Serenity shrugged it off. She walked in to her room and opened her closet. Once she got out a pair of pajamas, she saw a shadow pass by the mirror.

"Who's there?" Serenity whispered, turning around slowly. The figure stood behind her bed. "I know how to defend myself. I'll swear, I'll kick your ass!"

"Right" the voice answered. Serenity heard him getting the trigger ready. Realization sunk in as she reconized the voice.

"Kouga-?" The trigger was pulled. Serenity felt a stabbing pain hit her side, making her groan. She fell back on the floor.

In the shadows Kouga gasped. "Serenity?"

Souta slammed the door open. "Serenity!"

'No, I-I just shot m-my mate!' Kouga dropped the gun on the floor.
