Chapter3.The Secret and The Protector

At this point Kagome and Kadan (Kags mom if you have forgot) explained about the well to Kikia. Murasaki waited patentley, while sipping some tea, until they had finished. Inuyasha was listening in and out while playing with Buyo the family cat. Kamiyari was sitting next to Kikia listening in awe about the demons and occasionally looking over at Inuyasha. Souta was outside helping Gramps getting something out of the small hut for something, Murasaki had left awhile back.

"So, your telling me that you "Kikia pointed to Kagome "Can climb into that little well in your back yard and go 500 years into the past?" she finished with a 'yeah-right-you-really-think-I'm-that-stupid' look on her face. Kagome and Kadan nodded. "Well, then prove it to me." She stated as she leaned back on the sofa.

Kagome looked a little taken back by this. "Um...well there's Inuyasha here." she pointed over to the dog-eared boy playing with Buyo. "Inuyasha, what did I tell you about playing with Buyo like that." Kagome said as she walked over to him an the poor chubby cat.

Inuyasha let go of the cat an stood up and looked at Kagome. "Keh, like I ever listen to you anyway." He crossed his arms over his chest and stuck his tongue out at her.

"Inuyasha." Kagome said in a warning tone.

"Feh, what wench?" Said the dog-eared friend, but when he caught the look he knew what was about to come.

"SIT BOY! DO YOU HAVE TO ACT SO STUBBORN AND RUDE WHEN WE HAVE GUESTS! YOU BAKA!" Kagome turned around and looked at all the stunned faces. "Sorry, bout that... ahem..As I was saying Inuyasha is from the Feudal era. Do you see boys running around with silver hair, golden eyes, dog-ears, and sharp claws a fangs? I don't think so." She walked over and took a seat next to a very stunned very impressed Kikia.

"Okay, maybe I do believe you, but why are you telling me all this stuff?" askedKikia as she turned to Kadan who was sipping her tea like it was normal for someone to slam to the floor after a person says sit.

"Well, your mom just went out to get Souta and gramps and help them with some things. When they comeback in she will explain to you why, but for now you can go put your stuff in Kagomes room and you could also put Kamiyari's stuff in the Souta's bedroom while your waiting." Mrs.Higurashi then turned to Kagome and Inuyasha who had just pulled himself off the floor and was glaring at Kagome. "Kagome, you can start getting more supplies for yours and Kikia's trip to the Feudal era, and yes she will be going. Why? Murasaki will explain when she returns from with what she was looking for."

"You mean I have to go 500 years in the past with dog boy here and be stuck with demons? THATS AWSOME!" Kikia yelled as she sprinted up the stairs with her and her brother's bags.

Murasaki and Souta walked into the room with 3 dusty old looking boxes. They set them on the dinning room table. "Well, here's everything...the weapons and the jewel."

"Jewel? What jewel?" Kagome was standing next to Murasaki with a confused expression on her face.

"Well, let's wait for Kikia to get down here the-" Kikia interrupted here.

"I'm right here." She looked in the box an was reaching for a box that was smaller then the others, but when she got near it started to glow and the box moved upward to her. "Whoa, what's that, some kind of voodoo freaky-deaky magic crap?"

Murasaki looked at her daughter with complete seriousness "This is a jewel Kikai," she started to go closer to the box but when she did she was burned an her cunceeling (sp?) spell wore off showing her true form.

Everyone at the table took a step back except for Kadan. "Mom are you ok?" asked the 2 concerned teenagers.

Murasaki apparel had totally changed; she had shoulder length blood red hair, crimson red eyes, black triangle markings under the eyes that end middle of the cheek, black claws, and fangs. Murasaki looked at her children "Well I was going to save this for later but since plans have changed... I am a Tiger demon and Kikia's father was the last white wolf demon." She turned to Kagome. "Kags, have you practiced much with your miko abilities."

"No, just with my purifying arrows. Why?"

"I need you to take off the concealing spell off of Kikia and Kamiyari so they can see what they really look like."

Is she drunk or did she hit her head a little to hard or something. Kikia thought but shook her head to get rid of the thoughts and instead just asked. "Did you hit your head or did gramps give you any sake? OW..What the HELL was that for!"

Murasaki just walked back over to the boxes and picked up a piece of torn up paper and was about to hand it to Kagome when Inuyasha popped out of nowhere and snatched from her. "Hey, that wasn't very nice to do dog boy." She scowled as she snatched it back and hissed at him a little.

"Damn wench, I was just going to look at it don't need to get all pissy bout it." Stated Inuyasha from his hiding place behind Kagome.

Kagome turned around and looked at the scarred half-dog boy. "Inuyasha, do NOT swear or use that bad lunged around my family! GOT IT! If you don't let me get it through your head. Why don't you SIT WHAM then maybe you will listen to me." There was a line of curses, which ended up with a line of sits...thenKikia stepped in.

"SHUT UP! Kagome stop sitting Inuyasha, before he brings the house down. Inuyasha stop swearing so you won't bring it down and we can get back to what we were doing." With that she turn to her mom and told her to continue.

Murasaki walked over to the slightly pissed Kagome. "Here is what you need to chant, while you chant this you need to put your fingers on there head and focused on your miko energy to flow into your hands." Then she turned to Kamiyari (who was just sitting on a chair enjoying the show) and Kikia. "This might burn just a bit but it will be over in a sec."

Kagome walked over to them and put her fingers on their foreheads and chanted (or mumbled) something that nobody heard not even Inuyasha. When she was done she opened her eyes and pushed slightly there were tiny pink sparks that popped out of her hands and then there was two small yelps. When everyone looked at the two teenagers there appearance was a lot different. Kamiyari had mid back red/blonde hair with a cat tail that popped its way out of his jeans, cat ears on his head, blue/red eyes, razor black tip nails, and sharp fangs which on accident cut his lower lip. "This..looks...soooo...COOOL! I'm a Half-demon like Inuyasha." But nobody was really looking at him it was his sister they were looking at. "What are you all looking at... her...for." He trailed off as he saw his sister and he was in awe.

Kikia had blue/silver waist length hair with red and black streaks, her right eye was red her left was blue, she had light blue markings on the side of her checks also on her hands and on her forearm, black triangle markings under the eyes that end middle of the cheek like her mom, longer fangs and claws then her little brother. She looked at everyone in the room. "What, do I look THAT bad?" Everyone shook his or her head. Kagome shook her head and grabbed Kasei's hand a brought her to her to Kagome's room to look at her self in the full length mirror. "Oh my Kami...I actually look amazing." She ran her hands (claws) threw her hair. Then she sniffed the air, wrinkled her nose then plugged it, walked out of the room down the stairs, and looked at everyone in disgust. When she looked at her brother (he was doing the same thing) he nodded then at the same time they said: "Who didn't flush the toilet?"

Everyone burst into laughter except for Inuyasha. He was to busy plugging his noise. "What's a toilet?" This lead to more laughter.

After everyone had caught their breathe and stopped laughing Murasaki walked over to her daughter and son. "Kikia you look so much like your father." She gave Kikia a hug. Then she turned to Kamiyari, he looked a little left out. "Kamiyari you're the most handsome half demon I've ever seen. No offense Inuyasha."

"Keh, none taken." He crossed his arms over his chest and stuck up his noise. Souta walked over to Inuyasha and pulled on his sleeve. "What is it squirt?" Souta motioned him to lean down with a sigh Inuyasha did.

"I know who thinks you're the handsomest in the world." He whispered in his sensitive ears. Kikia and Kamiyari were leaning in a little but were unnoticed.

Inuyasha raised a cocky eyebrow. "And who might that be?" He whispered back.

Souta looked around the room and noticed that everyone was either talking or too far away to hear. So he continued. "My sister."

Inuyasha's eyes bugged out and he was blushing like mad, Kikia and Kamiyari had shocked expressions; then they looked at each other. All you could hear in the room was laughter.

Kagome got up and walked over to the rolling Kasei. "What's so funny?" She asked.

"I didn't know that you thought he was handsome." Then she burst back into laughter. Kagome turned to her brother who was now hiding behind a blushing Inuyasha.

She took a deep breath. Kasei, Kamiyari, Murasaki, and Inuyasha plugged there ears and waited for it to happen. "SOUTA GET OVER HERE YOU LITTLE BRAT IM GOING TO KIIIIIIILLLL YOOOOUUUUU!" And the chase was on.

"Kagome, dear, leave you're brother alone so we can get this over with." Said Kadan. They all sat back around the table (except for Inu he went back to playing with Buyo).

Murasaki went into one of the boxes and pulled out a sword that had a gold sheath and a black and red handle. This got Inuyashas attention (figures, huh?). "Kikia, this was the sword my mother gave me before she died. So, now that you're old enough I want you to have it." She handed it over to Kikia. She pulled it slowly out of its sheath.

"Wow, it's a black blade." The metal was a midnight black with a tint of blue to it.

"Yes. It's called KageTamashii (Shadowed Soul) or the shadowed soul. It's made out of a rare metal it might look delicate but its very sharp, thick, and powerful. There are special techniques that you will learn when you get more advances in your learning. You will have to figure all the techniques out on your own." Then Murasaki turned to her son. "I have a weapon for you but you are still to young maybe when you get older." Kamiyari looked at her like she had a second head.

"Your not serious are you mom?"

"I'm sorry"

"It's ok Ill PROOVE to you that I AM strong." He puffed out his chest with pride.

Murasaki smiled at her son. He was so strong with his pride when something bothered him he always told someone she was surprised that he wasn't complaining but just shrugged it off and turned back to Kikia who was still looking at Kage Tamashii. "Kikia, open that small box that's on the table."

Kagome turned to Murasaki. "Won't she get burned like you did?"

"No. She is the new protector of the Jewel Seijitsu Yuukou (Faithful Friendship). Your father, Toukon, was the other protector until he died in that car crash he also was the Lord of the Northern Lands. Your father and I met during a battle of the Northern lands and the Eastern lands. His men captured me and had me in a dungeon for about a week then he came in an started to work me for information. But I was young and stubborn so he just quit coming until about a month then he came in and just talked to me. Soon we feel in love he let me go but I stayed with him and became his mate." At this point Murasaki had tears in her eyes.

"Mom, don't cry!" Kikia said as she and her brother hugged her crying mother.

"Sorry, dear." She wiped her tears away and patted her daughter on the head. "Anyway, the jewel is very powerful. It's to keep the tiger and Wolf Youkia united; it's like a Trudy. The war was when the Eastern lands got a new lord, there was an agreement that the Lord of Northern lands, your father, were to hold on to the jewel. The Eastern lord wanted the jewel for his own purposes he told are people that we could have our crop back but he wanted it to become powerful. So, your father and me had to go and hide, one of your father's human friends told him about the Bone eaters well and told us the village it was by. We went down the well and that's when we met Kagomes mother and Father. You and Kag weren't born yet this was about 15 years ago."

Kikialooked at the jewel and picked it up. "So, I have to protect this jewel so no won will get it? "She nodded. "But, who would want it in this time?"

"This is why we came here, you need to go to Inuyasha's time and talk to one of the family friends she is a demon so she will now who you are. You must get an antidote for the curse."

"What 'curse'?" Kikia, Kagome, Kamiyari and Inuyasha asked in inusion (that's different).

"Kamiyari, your father was a priest and he put a curse on you. On your 14 birthday you will be come deathly ill and you will suffer from it unless your sister gets the potion." Murasaki said sadly as tears ran down her face.
