Okay, chapter 7 was really short, so I did chapter 8 too! I hope you like it!


Two Years Later:

"Oneesan! Oniisan!" a four year old Inuyasha exclaimed. "Can you teach me how to kill a demon?"

Kiara and Sesshomaru, who were kicking a ball around, both sighed. Inuyasha had been bothering them all day. First, he begged them to run around with him. Second, he kept bothering them to play hide-and-seek with him. Third, he bothered them about spending time with him. And now, the fourth time Inuyasha had bothered the two of them that day was about teaching him how to kill a demon. Since Kiara and Sesshomaru were both ten years old, they had learned basic demon slaying three years ago when they were seven. And Inuyasha wanted to learn so he could know as much as they did. Kiara and Sesshomaru had spent time with Inuyasha the whole day, from running around with him to just plain spending time with him. The twins wanted the rest of their day to be without their younger brother getting in the way.

"So?" Inuyasha exclaimed with a whine in his voice. "Can you teach me? You are so strong!"

"No," Kiara and Sesshomaru both said immediately. Then Kiara added, "We're sure Father would like to give you your lessons."

"He'll teach you when you're seven," Sesshomaru told him. "But Kiara and I can't teach you."

Inuyasha sighed and said okay. However, he didn't go away. He stood there, watching his older siblings kick the ball back and forth. Kiara and Sesshomaru both wanted Inuyasha to go away. They didn't even want him in their presences.

"Can you play with me?" Inuyasha asked in a sweet little boy voice. "Please, Oneesan? Please, Oniisan?"

Sesshomaru kicked the ball to his sister and Kiara caught it with ease. Neither of them wanted to play with Inuyasha, but they knew from personal experiences that Inuyasha was so sensitive that if they rejected him that he would burst out crying, and he wouldn't stop until someone played with him.

Kiara and Sesshomaru stood together and started to whisper among each other. They both agreed that they would have to play with Inuyasha if they didn't want to get in trouble. The two of them looked at Inuyasha to see him sitting down in the grass as he sucked his thumb. They sighed. But then Kiara got an idea.

"Remember when Hakkaku told us about the story that his father told him?" Kiara asked. "The one about the flying samurai?"

Sesshomaru nodded. His and Kiara's friend, Hakkaku was a dog-demon boy who was their age. The two of them had known Hakkaku since they were babies since Kiara and Sesshomaru's mother and Hakkaku's mother were friends. Hakkaku's father was a demon who traveled around Japan, assisting in various demon battles taking place. Because of his travels, Hakkaku's father had heard many stories that were legends throughout the demon world. He told his son the stories, which Hakkaku later on told Kiara and Sesshomaru. The latest story was about a samurai that could fly. The samurai befriended demons and took them to a magical place. There, the samurai and the demons ended up in a battle against a nefarious cat-demon.

"Maybe we can make Inuyasha fly," Kiara said.

Sesshomaru raised a brow. "Make Inuyasha fly?" he asked. "What are you talking about?"

Kiara said that they could harness Inuyasha using a rope and then put the rope over a high and sturdy tree branch.

"Oh, I see what you're saying!" Sesshomaru said. "We can then swing him around!"

Kiara nodded and the two of them started quietly snickering. They both thought that it would be funny. The two of them planned to swing him around fast so that they could scare him away from them.

"If we ask him nicely but tell him that it would be dangerous but that it would be exciting, he might go for it," Kiara whispered. "But if he doesn't do it, he'll probably walk away, so that way we'll get rid of him for a while."

"So?" Inuyasha asked loudly. "Can I play with you?"

"Yeah," Sesshomaru replied. "We have a game that we'll play with you. It would be dangerous. But it will be very exciting."

"You're gonna fly," Kiara told Inuyasha. "We'll swing you from a tree branch,"

Inuyasha thought for a moment as he stretched out the word 'well'. "I guess I'll try …"

Kiara and Sesshomaru took a rope and tightly used it as a harness. Then they found the high tree branch that the two of them sat on a lot. It would obviously be sturdy enough. They pulled Inuyasha up high. Inuyasha seemed very exciting. He spread out his arms like wings and smiled.

"Look at me!" He exclaimed. "I'm a birdie!"

At first, the two of them swung him gently. But the longer the game went on, the faster Inuyasha was swung. Kiara and Sesshomaru laughed as they swung him faster and faster. The two of them were very amused by the flying samurai game. However, Inuyasha was getting scared. He screamed out of terror. His scream was also a squeal, since it was high-pitched and sounded like a scream coming from a four year old girl instead of a four year old boy. Then, Inuyasha began to cry. He was bawling out sobs. Kiara and Sesshomaru knew that they had to get him down – and fast. They stopped swinging him. But Inuyasha was like a pendulum. He kept swinging back and forth. Back and forth.

Inutaisho had heard the screaming and crying and came outside to see Kiara and Sesshomaru holding the rope, and a terrified Inuyasha swinging back and forth from a high branch of a tree.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING! GET HIM DOWN!" Inutaisho barked.

"We're trying, Father," Kiara said. "But he's built up a good rhythm."

With a loud blast, Inutaisho yelled, "GET – HIM – DOWN!"

With a great deal of trouble, Sesshomaru almost getting his fingers caught under the rope, the two of them got Inuyasha down. Inuyasha plopped to the ground, which just made him cry more.

Inutaisho pointed at Sesshomaru and Kiara. "YOU! YOU! WAIT RIGHT THERE! WAIT THERE FOR TWO WEEKS – TWO MONTHS – TWO YEARS – UNTIL I GET TO YOU! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"

Kiara and Sesshomaru nervously nodded.

Although they weren't waiting there for two weeks, two months or two years, it did seem like they were waiting there for at least two hours.


Is this a cliff hanger or what? We don't know how Inutaisho is going to react! Review if you like it and want to find out what happens next!
