Daddy's little miracle!
A/N: Sequel to Beloved, I changed the title because it just fit better since Kiseki means 'miracle' and well+shrugs+ I just did. Lol. Well enjoy the story!
"Kiseki" Inuyasha barked as she came running over her stubby little legs running over to them as fast as they could go. "Chicue!" she said smiling her little black ears twitching as her smile turned into a frown at the very look of her fathers stern face, her ears flattening a low whimper escaped her lips.
Inuyasha sighed as he picked up his daughter. "Kiseki, what did I tell you about going near the bushes, the woods even! You could get hurt!" Kikyou walked out of the hut her hand rested on her stomach gently, where Kiseki's brother was growing. Kikyou smiled touching Inuyasha's shoulder gently, her eyes shining, "She's just like you Inuyasha"
Inuyasha looked at Kiseki; he knew she was a perfect cross between himself and Kikyou. That's exactly why he didn't want her to get hurt; he didn't want her to know pain, this was his child. His daughter.
Kiseki looked at him and he could feel his heart melt as she hugged him. "Sorry Chicue" Kikyou smiled giving her daughter a kiss on the head as well as Inuyasha. "I'll be resting, behave Inuyasha" She said winking at her daughter, her daughter smiling widely. "Come on Chicue, lets go play." Kiseki said grabbing Inuyasha's hand and leading him over towards the woods. "I want to go to Goshinboku!"
"Yes…" Inuyasha thought a smile on his face "Life was good…"
Kanna lay against the tree, humming to herself as she looked into her mirror, admiring her reflection screaming as her skin faded back to the lifeless white…
"Kanna…" A too familiar voice said an image of Naraku forming in the mirror
Tears formed in the girls eyes as her eyes lost there crystal blue and transformed into their original coal black.
"No…" Kanna whimpered followed by Naraku's cold laughter, Kanna being a mere puppet of his once again.
"Kill…Inuyasha."
"Hai…My lord Naraku…"
Kanna lowered her head as the sky darkened immensely as she left the tree, a blank expression on her face.
Inuyasha smiled as his daughter climbed in the arms of Goshinboku, he smiled softly, and this was his tree. Inuyasha looked down a look of pain in his eyes.
This wasn't his tree.
This was the time tree.
The ending tree.
The beginning tree.
"Chicue!" Kiseki said almost disappearing from site, hiding behind the leaves of the trees as she poked her little head out. "Why do you always look so sad at Goshinboku?" Kiseki was still young, she knew nothing of how Kikyou and Inuyasha met, how they were forced to hate each other, forced to be apart, and neither did she know of Kagome and his relationship.
Inuyasha smiled hopping up and grabbing his daughter landing gracefully to his feet as he ran her hands through her raven black hair. "When you're older Kiseki" Inuyasha said softly, walking off towards there home. Kagome was sitting next to Kikyou as he came back; Sango and Miroku along with their two kids were there as well. "Kiseki!" came a short cry from Kei and Mikomi as they ran to greet their friend.
Sango smiled standing softly, Kikyou and her going into the hut as Inuyasha walked over to Miroku. "Where's Kohaku? Doesn't the brat normally tag along too?" Inuyasha said as Miroku smirked slightly "He went to ask permission from a certain demon lord for his daughter's hand." Miroku spoke as he watched Inuyasha's jaw drop and face pale. "You don't mean Sesshomaru do you!" Miroku chuckled softly "Indeed I do, Kohaku's known Rin-chan since his possession and they've still remained good friends after all these years, but feelings bloom over time, Kohaku is now a young man and Rin's becoming quite the looker herself."
Inuyasha twitched; He could hardly imagine Kohaku standing there asking the demon lord for Rin's permission. 'Why should he even bother to ask permission? It's not like Rin is Sesshomaru's real daughter.' Inuyasha scuffed thinking to himself slightly his eyes softening a bit himself. 'Maybe he is…He has raised Rin since she was a mere pup.' He watched his daughter and her friends scurry along, his golden eyes glistening as he felt Kagome stare into the back of his head.
Ever since Kikyou's and his engagement, Kagome and Inuyasha hadn't been much of friends anymore. They shared odd glances, confused looks, but it didn't happen often. Kagome scarcely came by, she had once complained that it was hard for her to get through the well and by the time she reached home again she was exhausted, it cost a lot of power to get through and since she had no jewel shards… Well that was a huge chunk of it. It was as if she was adapting to her world all over again and even though it hurt her, Inuyasha knew that she didn't want to stop seeing him if that's all that she could do, and Inuyasha felt strangely the same.
It wasn't that he wanted Kagome to stay.
He didn't love Kagome
He loved Kikyou
He loved his daughter and his life now
But he still wanted to see her; he wanted to be her friend
Just her friend
Inuyasha's head jerked up as a loud rumbling escaped the ground, Kiseki standing in front of her friends protectively as the white girl picked her up.
"Kiseki!" Inuyasha shouted angrily as he lunged towards her, turning around he halted.
"Kanna?" He stumbled back a bit as the ground split faster, Kikyou and the others running out from the hut.
"Mikomi! Kei!" Sango screamed in urgency as she raced towards her kids, Miroku holding her back, "You're endangering our little one." Miroku spoke as he looked to Inuyasha worriedly as Inuyasha scooped up the two kids holding onto him as he set them down in front of Miroku and Sango.
Inuyasha lunged towards Kanna as a green force field covered her and Kiseki as she held her mirror out to him, the mirror shaking violently in her hands as Naraku's reflection was revealed in the mirror.
"Naraku" Kikyou hissed grabbing her bow furiously; Miroku looked at his hand noticing it was still whole so far…
"Tsk Tsk Kikyou, did you really think I'd let you alone?" Naraku scolded smiling.
"Naraku, how did you get back here?" Kagome shouted angrily looking up at him grabbing a bow and arrow for herself her arms quivering a bit, it had been such a long time since she held a bow…
"Is this your daughter Inuyasha?" Naraku spoke harshly looking at the child; Kanna had her arm around her shoulder as Kiseki stood next to her perfectly still her claws digging into her palm as she tried her hardest not to shake. "Chicue…" She whispered.
Naraku looked down at Inuyasha as he watched the slayers eyes glare with hatred as well as her husbands, He looked over the hanyou his eyes held a certain depth of hell within in it as if he were melting Inuyasha with his very eyes. "She will be the one who resurrects me." No one moves and no one dares.
"What do you mean?" Kikyou said softly her hand on her stomach. Naraku's eyes mimicked her, "What's wrong Kikyou, Afraid?" His voice was cold, smooth as ice. "She will take my place in Kanna's mirror, and believe me for a little girl…It's not going to be a fun place." A smile warped Naraku's face as Kanna's barrier flied into the air.
Inuyasha shook his hands clenching into fists as he jumped to the air, his claws piercing through the barrier, the force of the field shocking him, shutting his eyes at the pain. "Chicue!" Kiseki cried as she touched the barrier wall with his own hand as he was flung back, Kiseki looked at Kanna miserably digging her claws into her. "Let me go!" Kanna looked at the girl, her eyes black as coal. "He…says…no…" Kanna said softly, Kiseki pulling back from the girl looking down to the tops of the trees, in a sense of desperation.
Kikyou tried to aim but the bubble was way out of site now, and Sango and Miroku were still unarmed since they had come by only for a visit. The two children whimpered into their chests as the hugged them tightly in their arms. Kikyou looked at Inuyasha sadly, "What do we do…" Kikyou said tears brimming her eyes. "Our daughter." Inuyasha's eyes were set ahead as he placed his hands firmly on Kikyou's shoulders. "Don't worry Kikyou. I'm going to get our daughter back. I swear it." He said before turning being halted by Sango and Miroku and their two children. Kei looked up at him, "I'm sorry" He said "I shouldn't have let her get to close to the bushes." Kei said grabbing a hold of Inuyasha's leg, hugging it tightly. Tears ran from Mikomi's eyes as she dove hugging his leg tightly. "Thank you for saving us!" Sango and Miroku looked at him, "Were help you get her back, thank you so much for saving our kids." Inuyasha gave off a short 'Feh' as the kids let go of his legs.
"You two have your own pups, just take care of Kikyou." Inuyasha said bolting off into a run towards the forest, Kagome following after him…
