Behind Amber Eyes

Chapter Three: She Didn't Say A Word

Me: I really liked the last couple of lines in the last chapter.

Inuyasha: … How can you be writing this chapter if you haven't even chosen the name of my sister?

Me: Eh?

Shippo: --U

Inuyasha: -- Baka human.

Me: You're no better yourself, half-demon.

Inuyasha: -turns away- Feh.

Me: Anywhoosle…

Shippo: … Inuyasha, grow up would ya? –shakes head- Hikari and her alter-egos don't own Inuyasha, any of its movies, characters, or stuff like that. She only owns the character who is Inuyasha's sister. Who needs a name.

Me: Oops. –pauses, flips through Japanese-English dictionary, and screams- ATTENTION EVERYONE!

Inuyasha: … So just me and Shippo.

Me: --U Um… ATTENTION! A NAME FOR INUYASHA/SESSHOMARU'S SISTER HAS BEEN CHOSEN! IT IS… Well, you can read the story and see.

Author's Note: Sounga is actually the name of the sword in the third movie. My original idea was going to be of a dagger named Tessusaiga that could increase the powers of their sword. It was the last part of their father's fang. HOWEVER, once I found out that I was about 80 or 90 percent correct in the rest of my plot to the movie (that is really creepy), I decided to change it to Sounga and alter the plot slightly. If you'd like to know where I got this info, check out a wonderful place called The movie is called "Swords of an Honorable Ruler." Also, does anyone know the actual name of Inuyasha/Sesshomaru's dad?


In front of them, some while away, was Inuyasha's full demon half brother Sesshomaru. He was hugging another person – a girl, more specifically.

As the gang hid behind some trees, they stared. "Is that his lover?" whispered Miroku as he covered Shippo's eyes (who was quietly protesting, in fear that Sesshomaru would hurt him if he heard).

Inuyasha stared some more, and his eyes widened. "No…" he muttered, stepped out. "No. That's not his lover… that's his sister."

Making no noise, Inuyasha stood in the open and stood staring at his siblings. Their voice drifted as he blinked slowly.

"I have waited so many years, little sister. So many. I have wanted to see you again, to talk to you, to make sure you're alright."

The female sighed as Inuyasha heard her voice for the first time in over fifty years. It was a low and soothing voice.

"I am sorry, Sesshomaru. I have been guarding something of great importance for so long. But I felt a disturbance in our family blood, and I came out of my vigil. I have been searching for you, and for Inuyasha."

Even from where he was, Inuyasha could see the look of disgust cross his brother's face as he let go of her. "You talk of that half-breed as if you care."

A look of surprise came upon his sister's face. "You still hate our brother? Sesshomaru, Inuyasha has done nothing to deserve your hatred."

"What has he done to deserve your love?"

"… Sesshomaru, he does not loathe mortals like you do. You have always been this way. I cannot see why, most mortals are wonderful beings."

"Mortals are pathetic and weak, and make others that way. Our father became this way because he fell in love with a mortal."

"Inuyasha's mother was beautiful and kind. I hold her in the highest esteem." Inuyasha smirked at what his sister said. She paused. "But… Sesshomaru… you must care for a mortal too, because you've changed…"

He looked at her sharply.

"Is it that little girl that follows you around? Rin? She's a darling child, brother. Do watch after her."

"… I will."

His sister sighed. "And what of Inuyasha?"

"Are you still stuck on finding him?"

"I am. But has he found anyone yet? Fifty years ago he cared greatly for a priestess, but the poor girl died. Whom does he travel with now?"

Sesshomaru chuckled. "He has found another. He travels with a fox demon, a demon slayer and her demon companion, a Buddhist monk and a mortal girl who has spiritual powers. He's a worthier opponent when he's with the girl, protecting her."

His sister laughed. "Oh, poor Inuyasha. In love with the girl who's no doubt the reincarnate of the priestess he once loved, but now can't decide between them."

Kagome blinked while Inuyasha said, indignantly, "I'm not in love with Kagome!"

"SIT!" Inuyasha smashed to the ground as his sister turned, a look of joy coming upon her face. She laughed as she called his name, and ran to him, helping him up.

He hugged her tightly. She smells the same, he thought.

"Koseina," he murmured. He looked at her. "You disappeared, I thought you had been killed if it were not for your distant scent."

She tweaked his nose. "Still sharp as ever, I see." She turned to her older brother. "Can we have not lived like this, Sesshomaru? Could all three of us not live in peace?"

The two brothers glared daggers at each other as Inuyasha's friends stepped out from where they were hiding. "Inu –!" said Kagome.

The three siblings spun around. Sesshomaru glared some more as Inuyasha took a step back to guard them from his brother. His sister stepped forwards with a smile. "Hello. You must Inuyasha's friends." Her smile became warmer as she bowed. "My name is Koseina, and I am Sesshomaru younger and Inuyasha's older sister."

The group stood for a few seconds, shocked at how polite she was, before they warmed. "I'm Kagome," said the said girl. "And this little guy is Shippo."

"My name is Miroku, and this is Sango," said the monk, bowing politely. He knelt before Koseina and took her hands. "And I have a favor to ask of you…"

Kagome and Shippo rolled their eyes, knowing what came next.

"Will you bear my child?"

BAM.

The Hiraikotsu hit Miroku at the same time that Inuyasha did. "I am sorry. I cannot help myself around a lady as beautiful as yourself."

Miroku, for once, hadn't been jesting. Koseina was indeed a beauty. Like her brothers, she had long silver hair. She had the same two marks on both cheeks as Sesshomaru did, and also had the same on her arms and hands. She had Inuyasha's wider amber eyes rather than Sesshomaru's narrower ones. She wore a simple blue kimono that looked like Inuyasha's. At her waist was a sword, and slung on her shoulder was a bag.

"Be careful, Miroku," said Inuyasha threateningly. "You're not just dealing with any girl here, you're dealing with my sister."

Sesshomaru also turned his full glare on Miroku as he cowered away from the brothers and Sango. Koseina, Kagome and Shippo all chuckled uneasily. "Come," said Koseina. "Let us go eat and discuss."

They walked through the forest to a cave. They sat as Koseina brought food. They ate in silence until she said, "You are looking for the shards of the Shikon Jewel, are you not?"

Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other. "Yes," said Kagome. "How did you know?"

Koseina smiled. "My dear, are you not the priestess Kikyo's reincarnation? I can smell it – in your soul."

Everyone stared.

"Though your scent differs from Kikyo, your soul's an echo of hers. She guarded the Shikon Jewel and died with it. It is only natural that you are now looking for all of it."

"How – how did you know that it was shattered?" asked Sango, stroking Kirarra.

Koseina took out a handkerchief from her bag and placed it in front of Kagome, who gasped.

"I knew I felt the presence of a Jewel shard when we met!" She opened the bag and saw not one but three Jewel shards.

"When it first shattered, one flew to where I was. The other two I found when I fought demons who had the nerve to attack me. They are my gift to you."

Kagome picked up the three shards, purifying them at contact. Koseina nodded, as if confirming something in her mind.

If there had been anything at all that made them sure that Koseina was not an enemy, it was the fact that she knew so much about them and didn't say a word.
