"Sano and Hegiowu and their Warrior Parent"

Emerging from within the forest barrier a warrior in a dark blue battle kimono stood ready with another arrow to fly. "Sano. Hegiowu. We're leaving!"

The conscious pup was still paralyzed by the charm spell but tried to drag the full dog toward the newcomer. The stranger stood alarmed that the other pup wasn't moving and sprung from the forest line to nearly ten feet away from the group, "What have you done to them?! Answer me or endure more pain!" aiming her arrow at the hanyou's heart.

"We mean no harm!" Kagome exclaimed trying to help Inuyasha remove the arrow.

Stranger: "Lies! You will pay for harming them."

"I can assure you they're all right!" Miroku pleaded.

The warrior tugged on the arrow more aiming closely at the half demon. When suddenly the attacker collapsed in front of the group.

Inuyasha: "Well that was weird."

Sango: "I wonder what happened."

Kagome approached the unconscious archer and pulled off the dark shroud covering the face. She gasped as a lady's face appeared from the under the mask, followed by a black river of thick wavy locks. "It's a woman."

The monk perked up in interest, "Really?"

The semi mobile pup (tried to) raced toward the woman, "Ma ma ma ma."

Everyone: "Mama!?"

(An Hour Later)

"Pardon my sons for the trouble they've caused. These days it's getting harder to control them. I guess that's how twins are. Especially boys." The woman said as she took a sip of bottled water Kagome gave her. The spell over the two tricksters had worn off and they munched hungrily at the food the others offered. Inuyasha managed to remove the arrow easily but his arm became unbearably itchy.

"With such crafty tricksters no wonder you passed out from starvation." Miroku said passing her a bowl of rise they packed. The woman accepted the bowl and bowed slightly, "Thank you monk. My name is Soun Yee. The one with thicker fur is Hegiowu. And next to him is the younger brother Sano."

"Yeah yeah that's nice. Dang it! Lady how come I can still feel your arrow in my arm?!" Inuyasha yelled scratching his long nails over his sleeves where the arrow penetrated his skin.

Soun Yee covered her mouth with only slight concern, "Oh I'm afraid the poison coating on that arrow has entered your blood stream."

Kagome, Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku: "Poison?!"

Kagome: "Is it deadly?"

Soun Yee: "Of course not. It'll only irritate and enemy demon for days after hitting."

Inuyasha: "DAYS?! Don't you have something that can stop this burning?"

The woman shook her head, "No. But it'll wear off with time."

"Yeah sure she that's all I'm getting…" the overgrown baby mumbled to himself to a mute whisper.

Soun Yee: "Actually you should be lucky. If I used my special arrows your limb would have been blown off."

Inuyasha: "WHAT?! Why you….!"

"Inuyasha sit."

He fell flat on the ground catching the pups attention for a moment before chowing away again.

Kagome quickly changed the subject to make up for his lack of manners, "So what is it like traveling with two little half-demons?" she asked cheerfully.

The woman and pups suddenly stopped and starred at the odd teenager. "How did you know my sons or hybrids?"

Shippo was laying on his stomach watching the two other children while they were gobbling madly at their chow, "Inuyasha smelled their human blood. He's a half-demon too."

Immediately both the pups starred at the larger hanyou.

Inuyasha glanced down at them. "What? You knew i was a halfbreed before."

The more human boy, Sano, slowly stepped closer timidly sniffing the air near him. He gazed up at the older hanyou catching his attention with his bright innocent golden eyes. "You… half… demon?"

"Yeah." Inuyasha starred in confusion.

Sano: "You…papa?"

Everyone just starred at the little half-demon at his question.

"Now that you said it, they do have some sort of resemblance with each other." Miroku stated tapping on Sano's right ear whole tugging a little hard on Inuyasha's left.

Quickly Soun Yee finished the rice and gather up her things, "If you boys are finished we're leaving immediately."

The two firry boys nodded without argument.

Kagome grabbed Soun Yee by the arm, "Why don't you come with us? I mean until you can refresh your supplies so you don't pass out like that again."

The woman shook off Kagome's grasp, "That generous, but you what you have done for us is enough. We know how to live off the land and the villages. Good day." And all three walked away from the group and into the woods.

Shippo: "What's up with her?"

Soun Yee and her sons quietly walked for nearly an hour through a dark thick part of the forest.

"Those people sure seem to be nice mother." Hegiowu said eyeing the lower brush for danger.

"Try not to be too trusting by merely first impressions. They could be demon hunters using that other half-demon to pick up on demon's scents. We don't want to remember what happened with the last group that helped us."

Both the chibi hanyous nodded and continued to look around.

Sano gazed up to his mother shyly, "Mama. Sano think Inu papa."

"Impossible. You were too young when papa disappeared to remember what he looks like." Soun Yee answered sounding a little irritated.

"Sano know Inu papa. Sano know!"

"Could you stop it! I'm getting sick and tired of hearing about you father!"

The humanoid half-demon stopped and gazed down at the ground with his ears drooping down.

Soun Yee turned to her son and knelt down held the little puppy gently by the shoulders; her manner calmed,"I'm sorry Sano. I miss him too. But we may have to admit that we might never find him."

"NO! I refuse to believe it!" Hegiowu shouted as he ran further down the trail.

"Hegiowu! Hegiowu come back here." Soun Yee shouted to call him back.

But he didn't listen. Instead he raced into the brush only to confront menacing giant moth demon. "Aahh mother!"

"Hold on Hegiowu!" Soun Yee shouted drawing and arrow from her quiver and fired it at the demon. The arrow exploded on impact knocking the demon off guard. But it recovered quickly, and lunged toward the three.

The human shot a poison arrow at its left eye.

It screamed loudly in pain.

In a final attempt to kill the three travelers the moth fell to the ground aiming itself to land on them.


"That Soun Yee is certainly a very brave woman." Miroku said the next day while walking through a forest pass.

Sango: "All alone with two young half-demons. Things will not be easy on them."

"Feh! For who? The kids or any demon that attacks them."

"You don't like her do yeah Inuyasha?" the modern girl said questionably at the hanyou.

"Listen! My arm hurts, I haven't slept all night because of this inching and burning, and I'm not in the mood for arguing!"

As if of cue the trees stated to rustle to an eerie wind. "What's going on?" Sango asked as she grabbed the hilt of her sword

Inuyasha scanned the surrounding plant life with his eyes, "It seems we're being followed."

Miroku: "Yes. But who?"

The white haired hanyou dunked his hand into a bush and pulled out two screaming puppies of by the tails.

Everyone: "Sano and Hegiowu?!"

The two half-demons groaned as they fell to the ground.

Kagome: "I wonder what they're up to now."

Hegiowu was the first to spring to his feet, teeth ready for attack, "Hand over the sacred jewel shards!"

"Have you two lost it?" Shippo asked clutching to Kagome's shoulder, "Those shards are bad for demons."

The more canine twin sprung to Kagome, snatching up the bottle holding the jewel shards and raced back to his brother.

"Hold it right there you little pipsqueak." Inuyasha caught Hegiowu in mid air and clutched the bottle away before setting him down.

Sano: "Shards please."

"Sorry kid but no dice." Inuyasha said tucking the jewel bottle in his kimono and walked away

Hegiowu: (Growls) "But we need them to protect our mother."

Kagome: "What's wrong with her?"

Inuyasha: "Listen kid these shards are dangerous it'll probably make you turn against your mother."

Sano jumped on top of a low branch just in front of the silver haired teen's face, "Then Inu help mama?

Inuyasha shook his head to the young one, "Sorry Sano I can't."

"Then you have to give us those shards!" the tiny cub barked at Inuyasha dodging in front of him.

Inuyasha: "And why should I?"

The hanyou glared at the yoki puppy, "Look, Hegiowu, you mom is 'charming' but we can't stop for everyone who asks for help. Besides she seems she has everything under control."
"Now Inuyasha don't be cruel. You know she didn't mean to shoot the arrow at you." Kagome scolded.

Inuyasha: "Shoot it?! That wench's arrow was poisoned! My arm still burns from just touching the bloody thing."

The younger boy Sano jumped onto Inuyasha arm to get his attention. The older half demon starred into the younger's eyes. "Please sir….help."

For a brief moment he saw himself at the pup's age pleading to the other villagers when his own mother needed help.

FLASHBACK:

A toddler Inuyasha raced down the streets of his home village. All the people he came across immediately turned their heads the other way from the half-breed.

Young Inuyasha: "Help! Can someone help me please?!"

But no one bothered to pay attention of even look at the desperate boy. "Please anybody! It's my mommy, she needs help!"

: BACK TO PRESENT

Inuyasha blinked back to reality to the now puzzled Sano clinging to his arm. He padded him and the head and sighed, "Alright you pulled my leg, lets go."
