The Third Family
DarkPirate 510- There will be a cerimony for Mikoto and Kyo becoming mates. I'm still debating whether or not Mikoto will be able to get through the well.
Heart of Friendship- I'm upset that Families CAN Be Replaceable is over too. It was my first Inuyasha fan fiction. But I still have the characters, so I'm happy. I had lots of fun at camp! No spelling errors? Wow. That's a first.
sesslover- Yeah! I hooked you! Okay. I am not answering that weird question because it's just too weird. You decide. And for the lemons. No. I don't do lemons. Sorry. As for Mikoto's clothes. He's a lot laid back compaired to someone like Sesshoumaru (same rank) Mikoto would probably loose brown pants and a baggy white shirt. Think of what Inuyasha looks like when he gives his over coat to Kagome.
Juean-Ya- Thanks for the compliments!
LiL:.CaT:.AnImE- I have never seen or read Cardcaptors so I don't know.
Dragon Man 180- I'm really not planning on giving Kyo the tip of Sesshy's boa. You see Sesshy's my favorite character and that boa thing (I'm convinced it's a boa) is just soooooo cool I couldn't cut it up.
Cirrus, the pheonix of life- Yes, funny but scary.
love-bracelet123- You won't be in the next chapter or even a few to come. But don't worry. You'll be there. I'm not sure about the ending talks because I don't even put Kyo in there. Sorry. Yes, GO CATS!!!!
Mystic Bynd- No! Don't break my floor! Kagome does it enough already!!!
Michelle- I'm glad you love my story!
Sorona- Yeah. It was THE last chapter. {sniff sniff} Read and answer your questions!
Kelari-67- Thanks. 18 out of 5? Is that even possible?
Lenipez sideshow- Don't worry. I'll think of something very creative... If Kyo ever has to use the beads. Who said she'd have to?
Kyou- I know where Mikoto's taking her. Of course I do! I'm the author. Oh well. Stupid moment over. You did spell his name right. YAY!
"Come on you two!" Inuyasha said, "Let's get going!" "But what about breakfast?" Mom asked. She sounded fully disappointed, "I could whip some ramen up too..." "Really?" Inuyasha asked, "Well then, I guess we could stay a little longer. But just till breakfasts over!" Mom beamed and set another place at the table.
We left just after breakfast. I had promised mom we'd be back by noon so Kagome and I could help set up for my party. Now we were hurrying on our way towards the village. Kagome was on Inuyasha's back and I was carrying Kagome's bag. I swear the thing weighed as much as she did. Now Inuyasha and I were equal. We could really see who was faster.
I won. Cursing, Inuyasha dropped Kagome on the ground and walked into to Kaede's hut. After helping her up and handing her her pack, I followed.
"Happy 16th Birthday!" all my friends yelled. It's amazing how birthdays are celebrated the same way in two very seperated places. "We have presents!" Shippo exclaimed jumping on me. He handed me a little bag. Opening it, I found a grass necklace. "I made it myself." the kid said proudly. "I love it!" I exclaimed, "Thanks so much Shippo!" I put it on. It turned out to be more of a choker.
"Here's mine." Sango said handing me a small long box. Inside was a pretty dagger. Made out of demon bone no doubt. I looked it over. "Sort of looks like a mini Tetsusaiga." I commented. Sango laughed. "It does." she agreed.
Next came Miroku's gift. It was a rosary necklace. "If you put it on it will turn you invisible." Miroku explained, "Well not really invisable, just people will see you but pay you no heed. Like you weren't there." "Cool." I said putting it on." And it indeed seemed that I had disappeared. "Take it off damnit!" Inuyasha said after a few seconds of scowling. I did.
"Do you have a gift Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. He always did. The hanyou just needed some prompting to give it up. "Feh." Inuayasha said, "Yeah." He through me a little leather bag. Inside were six giant, 1 inch diameter, glowing pearls. "They were inside those clam demons we fought a while back." he explained, "They've got to have power. You figure it out." "Thanks." I said smiling at him. I had wondered about pearls in those clams.
Kaede handed me a box. "I hope ye like it." she said. The box contained a plain gold chain. "It belonged to my sister." Kaede explained. "It's very pretty." I said, "Thank you very much. It must be hard for you to give it away." "Aie." she agreed, "But you deserve it."
"My turn." Mikoto said walking in. I ran over and hugged him. "Good to see you too kitten." my future mate told me. He handed me a large box. Currious of what it could be, I opened it to see a pair of diamond earings. "Why put them in this box?" I asked. "To mislead you." he replied innocently. I rolled my eyes.
Mikoto helped me put them in. I giggled the whole time. "Enough of the gift giving." Inuyasha said standing up, "I'm going to take a walk. "We could race!" I suggested, "This time nothing on our backs. We'll see who's faster." "You're on." he replied. "Great!" I said, "Just let me change."
I ran into the back room. Kaede had let Kagome and I keep some of our stuff in it. I pulled out my set of fire rat robes Inuyasha had given me for my 13th birthday. Even though I'd grown from the runt of 4' 6" to a more reasonable 5' 1", they still fit me. I guess they grew with me.
Changed, I grabbed a hair tie and pulled back my hair. That's right! I forgot to tell you! I haven't had my hair cut since before I met Kagome and the others. Now it's down to my knees. Amazing, isn't it?
Back to the story. Changed and my hair pulled back, I went back into the main room. "You two look a lot alike." Kagome commented. "Wha?!" Inuyasha said looking from himself to me, "How the hell do you see that?!" "I have to agree." I said. Kagome shrugged. "I guess it's the clothing." she said. "They are the same." I noted.
"Enough chit chat." Inuyasha interupted, "Are you ready or not cat? Where are we racing to? Who will referee? This is going to be a real race. Not the stupid ones we've had before." "I will referee." Mikoto said, "The race will be to the well. There's plenty of obsticals on that track." Inuyasha and I nodded. Mikoto ran out of the room. On his way to the well.
"Ready to race?" Inuyasha asked five minutes later. There's no way Mikoto hasn't gotten there yet." "Ready." I replied. "Then let's go!" Kagome said, "I'll start you two off." We walked outside.
"On your mark." I got down into a sprinting postion. I had joined the track team, and won every race easily. "Get set." Inuyasha was eyeing me. I guess he was wondering why I had gone into the position. "GO!" We set off, jumping over rocks, boulder, and fallen trees. It didn't matter what they were as long as we could get over them.
Inuyasha and I stayed practically next to each other for most of the race. Sometimes he'd lead by a few feet. Sometimes I'd lead by a few feet. I was starting to wonder if we were just equal in speed when I saw the first glimpses of the well. I don't think Inuyasha had seen it. I sped up, using practically all my power. Seeing me do this, Inuyasha sped up too, but it was too late. He hadn't sped up soon enough. I launched myself onto Mikoto. I had won.
"Damnit." Inuyasha said, speeding down so he wouldn't run strait into the well. "I'm faster than you, Inuyasha!" I cheered. "Don't test your luck." he growled, "You're still a stupid cat in my eyes." "I don't care." I said shrugging, "I'm still faster than you!"
I glanced at my watch I had grown acustomed to wearing and squeaked a little in surprise. "I'm late!" I exclaimed, jumping into the well, "Get Kagome Inuyasha, would you?"
Inuyasha: You're evil, you know that Clear Waters?
Clear Waters: Yup. :)
Kagome: Well I think it's good that someone finally beat him. It now gives him less to brag about.
Miroku: Yeah. Being beaten by a girl. Who wants to say that.
Sango: And what is that supposed to mean?
Miroku: Uh. Nothing dear Sango! Ha ha!
Clear Waters: There's a moral in there.
Inuyasha: Oh yeah? Where?
Clear Waters: Never underestimate a girl.
Kagome: Yeah!
Inuyasha: And what about being on time? Is being late a good thing?
Clear Waters: No ones perfect. R&R everybody!
