Thank you all for reviewing this next chapter is set fifteen years in advance just in case there is any confusion. I hope that soon this will get Manganized by a friend, and if it does hopefully shell give me permission to post it on the internet as well. So just a bit of FYI. Certain weapons that are new to the Inuyasha genre I have drawn but they aren't great so please bare with me. With out further ado, here is chapter 4 "I got to fight."

–Chapter 4--

It had been about 15 years since then, Miko slid on a log down a very steep hill, Kathreen was doing the same but, trailing slightly behind him. "Hey Miko wait up!" She said as Miko came to the bottom jumping from the log it landing into a pile of other logs. He gripped a handful of logs, with his arms which were both gloved and sealed with prayer beads. He had inherited many things from his father including, his fathers looks, his curse which were on both arms for some reason, his sandals, and staff. Kathreen his childhood friend was raised by Sango and her parents, Inuyasha and Kagome, and so was Miko. In Miko's life he was raised by Shippou his mentor, and a substitute father Inuyasha. Kathreen who was 14 a year younger then Miko, had dark brown hair different then Kagome's Inuyasha's. She had two small chains at her side light weight and with a steel orb at the end on both sides, a simple mist filled these see through steel orbs. Miko dropped the logs on the raft and hopped on he withdrew his mothers sword and cut the rope, making Kathreen hurry. "MIKO!" Cried Kathreen panicking. She jumped off the log onto the raft sending it wobbling in the water.

"Sorry Kathreen." He had done it on purpose though both Kathreen and himself knew that, he was in a hurry and for a good reason too. His mother Sango was allowing Inuyasha to take him and Kathreen out to a nearby village to exterminate troublesome demons. But first his mother made him gather some wood so they could have a fire going in case it ever got cold. "Kathreen?" Asked Miko.

"What?" She replied a bit angry still with him.

"You still going to use those wimpy chains of yours?" He liked the fact they would be parterning up, but those chain's didn't look to strong to him.

"I rather have these then that staff of yours" She said quickly, she didn't like Kaede's gift going insulted. They sat in silence as the raft went down the river, finally reaching a small village. 'Home sweet home' Though Miko. Miko and Kathreen dismounted the raft as villagers came and picked up the logs and spoke.

Miko and Kathreen, your parents they left to the village, the demons they have attacked again! They requested that you stay here till they return." Miko sighed his day was ruined.

"So much for hunting demons." Kathreen spoke slightly disappointed. Miko shook his head.

"No Kathreen were going come on get Kirara and if you see shippou tell him were getting more logs or something." She looked slightly worried, but she obeyed Miko was preparing. He crushed a herb into a fine powder and placed It on his palms removing prayer beads and gloves the tunnel stopped as a small amount of powder went on it. He placed his beads and gloves in the pocket of his clothing, the ones Inuyasha gave to him. Lately Inuyasha had out grew his old red ones. Which were now Miko's Inuyasha could be rarely seen with out his 'future like clothes' a pair of baggy jeans and t shirt which Kagome had given him. Kagome wore her school uniform still, due to the fact that she had still one more year of high school traveling back and forth from the feudal era to her time had set her back tremendously, she was taking most of her classes by correspondence but still didn't have time.

"Ready Miko?" She said riding Kirara he raised his arms and she lowered his pulling him up as she swooped by. He landed in front of her and Kathreen wrapped her arms around him. "You apply your medicine on right?" He nodded and showed her his palms a black hole was swirling in the middle of it. "Is it under control?" He again nodded and extended his hand at a log and forced the tunnel open easily, it began consuming the log before he stopped it.

"See?" She nodded letting him know she saw his temporally control over the curse in both palms. They flew for less then five minutes coming to the edge of the town. They decided they could sneak in quietly and see what they were facing.

"Miko, ready?" She withdrew her 'Shikas' her chain weapon as Miko called it. She found a villager on the ground his eyes glazed green a hole in his chest. Kathreen bent down and felt the pulse on his neck "He's...He's dead" When she said that she heard a rumble. Miko looked up, he dashed that way after the rumble, a screamed followed, it was...was his mother.

"MOTHER!!!Come Kathreen." He dashed that way he was in such a hurry he forgot he had Kiara. Kathreen followed Miko, her keen sense of hearing thanks to her father, she heard her mother and her bow being strung and fired. A soft wail of the monster let her know she had hit her mark. They arrived and came to the scene. Kagome was bruised, and Inuyasha was in demon form slashing at villagers protecting Kagome. While...While Miroku brought his eyes to a long spike coming up from the ground piercing the armor of a exterminator. That exterminator was Miko's Mother.
