Chapter 4: good news and bad news

"WHAT?" The whole group yelled in unison.

Inuyasha staggered back a bit and placed a hand against the wall "Not Human? So then…" he looked at Eriani "What was she? What am I?" he looked at his clawed hands.

She looked at Kagome, then back to Inuyasha "She was the same as me. She was from my world."

Kagome walked over to Inuyasha, he looked very pale "Inuyasha…Are you ok?"

He looked at her, his amber eyes were distant for a moment then he looked at the girl standing next to him "Kagome…" He shook his head "I'm fine. What was she Eriani? What am I?" This too much... so I'm not a half human? I'm a half something else?

She looked at the Hanyou "She was of a special race of winged people from my world, A Lucetanian, they are mainly known from being magic users and powerful fighters. Your mother was a mage and was only here to find out about the humans in this era, but…" she paused for a moment and watched the people before her "She fell deeply in love with Inu no Taisho, and they had you. Your mother was a powerful woman, which is probably why you are such a powerful fighter."

Inuyasha sat down; taking Kagome with him "This…This is too much." He looked at Kagome, her chocolate eyes swimming with emotions we are alike? You and I Kagome…but how is that possible? He looked up at Eriani "How does Kagome come into this?" he wrapped an arm around the girl's shoulders protectively.

Kagome blushed at his protectiveness, Sango, Miroku and Shippo looked at each other and grinned.

Eriani sighed "Well….her father…."Kagome's head shot up at the mention of her Father "My Father? What about him?"

Eriani cleared her throat "He sent me here….to come get you Kagome."

Inuyasha shot up and growled at Eriani, Kagome was pulled protectively to his chest "What does he want with Kagome?"

Eriani growled at him "Her father only wishes to see her! She will be allowed to return! So drop the growling pup!" she watched Inuyasha calm down a little, she looked at Kagome and saw the blush on her cheeks. She smiled a little so she does like the Hanyou…how interesting; I wonder what her father would think about it.

Kagome felt Inuyasha's hold on her ease as Eriani assured the hanyou that Kagome would be able to return from wherever she would be going my father? So Inuyasha and I are alike…

Sango spoke up "When are you going to take Kagome? And What about Inuyasha?" the exterminator was sitting with Kirara in her lap and Shippo sitting beside her, Miroku was sitting a little ways away from her.

Eriani walked over to Inuyasha and Kagome, she grasped Kagome's arm gently and looked at the girl "We need to leave soon…The longer I stay here the more those monsters will attack innocent people."

Kagome looked at her, her brown eyes filled with new emotions, she was so confused but she was happy at the same time. All of this was so new to her. Kagome looked away, but she was also very scared, who was her Father? What kind of person was he?

Miroku stood up and walked out of the hut and he called back "Sango, I think they need a little bit of some alone time to think about this new predicament."

Sango nodded slightly and stood taking Kirara "Come Shippo."

Shippo looked up at the Exterminator "But Sango-"

Sango picked the little kitsune up and walked out of the Hut, following the monk.

Inuyasha still held Kagome to him; he looked at Eriani and growled "Can you just leave her alone for a little while." He could smell Kagome's fear and it made him angry

Eriani growled back at him, but decided to leave them be for a while. She walked out of the hut, leaving the two of them alone to think.

Inuyasha was still embracing Kagome, her fear hadn't subsided, and it tainted her sweet smell. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha "What do we do now Inuyasha?"

He shook his head "I have no idea, this is really confusing. First that crazy wench shows up, then those weird monsters…and then you Kagome, that light…" he looked into her chocolate depths and blushed when he realized he was a little too close to her face. He stepped back and looked away, blushing rather badly.

Kagome had seen him blush and she giggled a little bit.

Inuyasha turned towards her "What the hell are you laughing at?" he could smell her fear dispersing from her scent and that made him smirk.

He looked at Kagome and grinned evilly "I'll give you something to laugh at wench."

Kagome watched him edge closer to her, she took a step back and when he lunged at her she tried to run, but to no avail, she was trapped.

Inuyasha smirked and began to tickle her, mindful not to scratch her with his claws.

"Ah! Inu-" she gasped for breath "yasha! S-stop!"

He complied to her request but did not release her "Kagome…"

She looked up at him, his amber eyes catching hers "Inuyasha?"

He smiled a little bit "There's no need to be scared Kagome, I said I would protect you" he brought his face closer to hers, their noses touching. "And I'm going to keep that promise."

Kagome could feel her heart racing as she stared into his eyes, she could feel his breath on her face, his wild smell, his silver hair draped around them, like a silver water fall of silk.

Inuyasha watched the girl he so cared for, her raven locks falling softly around her face, her eyes were watching him, almost seeing straight through his soul, he leaned towards her lips and whispered "I'll always protect you Kagome."

Kagome could feel herself shaking beneath him; his lips were so close to her own now.

He pulled away from her quickly as Miroku walked in and caught them that close together "Am I ruining something?" the monk asked slyly

Inuyasha growled, blushing still "damn monk." He quickly picked up a rock near the fire pit and chucked it at Miroku's head "Go away damn it!"

Miroku ran away laughing, and calling for Sango "Hey Sango! Guess what I just saw!"

Inuyasha was about to run after the lecher but Kagome grabbed his arm "Let me Inuyasha." He nodded dumbly and stepped aside.

Kagome picked up a rock and chucked it at the retreating monk "Take that Miroku!"

The rock hit perfectly, and Miroku went sprawling to the ground with a huge bump on his head Damn, she's got good aim! He thought as he looked back at the Priestess and the Hanyou.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome "That was a great shot Kagome."

She turned and smiled at Inuyasha "thanks"

Inuyasha watched the little miko and couldn't help but smile a little bit. The smile quickly disappeared as her heard shouts in the distance.

He turned quickly, grabbing Kagome to him protectively and leaped on top of the huts roof "I heard something…"

Kagome looked in the direction he was staring in, there was a group of villagers surrounding something and shouting.

Inuyasha growled "I think someone's in the middle of that…" he leaped off the roof leaving Kagome there "Stay there Kagome! I'll be back to get you down!" he ran off towards the group of villagers.

Miroku and Sango had also noticed the group of growing villagers

Miroku rubbed the bump on his head "What in the name of Buddha is going on there?"

Sango looked down at him "I think-" before she could finish a small scream met their ears

"No please! Stop hurting me!"

The two of them shot to their feet and ran to the sound, Shippo followed behind them, riding on a transformed Kirara.

Inuyasha, of course, had made it there first "What are you people doing?"

One of the Villagers spoke up "A demon was caught skulking about the perimeter of the village! So we are punishing the beast!"

Inuyasha growled and pushed the villagers out of his way "Move or I'll kill you all!" the villagers cleared his path.

A girl creature huddled in a ball in the center of the villagers, her small body was covered with cuts and new forming bruises, rocks lay strewn about her small form. She was shaking violently, Inuyasha knelt beside her , he could see a silvery tail wrapped around her and her small feet were pawed, he lifted the small creature into his arms, her silvery hair fell softly over his arms. He looked down at her and saw her small eyes closed shut, a small horn protruded from her forehead. He growled inwardly the glared at all of them "You should all be ashamed of yourselves! This is a child!" He growled at the village people and stalked away from them, carrying the small bundle.

Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara met him halfway.

Miroku looked at his small passenger "Is this who was being hurt? She's a child!"

Sango gasped "Oh gods, how could they do that to her?"

Shippo looked like he was going to burst into tears.

Inuyasha growled "To them she was a demon, child or not, she was just a beast to them."

He walked over to the hut and looked at Miroku "Take her inside while I get Kagome off of the roof."

Miroku nodded and took the girl from the hanyou's arms and took her inside, Eriani had made her way over and walked inside the hut with Sango Miroku, Kirara and Shippo.

Inuyasha leaped up and took Kagome off of the roof "come on Kagome." He walked her inside the hut and she ran to where the child was "what happened to her?" She looked questioningly to Inuyasha, who growled angrily "The villagers did that to her."

Kagome went to her bag and pulled out her first aid kit "I'm going to patch her up a little, Inuyasha, Miroku and Shippo, out while I do this." She looked at Sango and Eriani "You two help me ok?"

The women both nodded as all the men left the hut.

Eriani and Sango undressed the girl as Kagome went and cleaned all of her cuts, bandaging her carefully, she had a lot of bruises on her sides, and larger cuts on her back and arms.

When the girls had finished the guys were let back in.

Eriani sighed sadly "I know this child…she must have tried to follow me from the other world."

Kagome and Inuyasha had almost forgotten about their new information about themselves.

Kagome looked at the girl, her raven locks falling around her face as she leaned down to move the silver hair from the sleeping girls face "She looks so sweet… It makes me wonder why the Villagers hurt her…"

Eriani growled angrily "Probably because she was in her other form when they saw her."

Inuyasha sat down angrily in the corner of the hut, he was still plagued by his earlier discovery about his mother and this girl was from that very world that now frightened him so. If his mother had been so powerful then how had she died? Why hadn't she protected herself? His thoughts were interrupted by a loud moan.

He looked at the girl he had just rescued, she sat up slowly; aided by Kagome .

She looked around and her eyes fell on Inuyasha, her bright violet eyes widened "A demon?"

Inuyasha grunted at her "I'm a half breed."

The girl looked apologetic "Oh I'm sorry…I didn't mean to offend you." She looked down for a moment, then she looked behind her and saw Eriani.

"E-Eriani! I was looking for you!"

Eriani watched the girl "Why were you looking for me in the first place? You were told this land wasn't safe for you Amarinthe." She glared at the silver haired girl.

The girl called Amarinthe nodded "I know Eri…but our Lord sent me to deliver a message to you! It's a life or death situation now Eri!" the girl began to tear up "Its getting so bad that my family and tribe had to go into hiding! I ran to the Lord for help and he told me to come here and find you…"

Eriani looked a little shocked "Why would he send a child? Why would he send you and not one of his Hunters?"

Amarinthe tried so hard not to cry "All of the Hunters were either killed or captured Eri…I'm so sorry." She turned and hugged the woman behind her.

Eri looked at the others, then back at Amarinthe "Everyone, I'm sorry about this but we must go now, whether you like it or not." She stood, taking Amarinthe with her "we are going home now ok? Our Lord needs us."

Amarinthe nodded and pulled away, looking at all the others "Are we bringing them?"

Eri nodded "Yes, they are all going to come with us."

Sango, Miroku and Shippo all yelled in unison "What?"

Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other then back at Eriani and Amarinthe "I thought it was just going to be Kagome?" Inuyasha questioned.

Kagome nodded "Yes I thought you were only going to take me?"

Eri shook her head "No, I was originally going to take Inuyasha and then I found that you were also with him, but now we need more help than we thought so we had a change of plans."

Kagome stood "Well I guess we all have no choice then do we?" she looked at the others who also stood.

Inuyasha nodded "I guess we don't."

Miroku sighed "I guess Naraku's going to have to wait a little longer…"

Sango looked at him "Naraku won't have any reason to kill anyone since Inuyasha won't be here."

Miroku looked at Sango and smiled "I guess you're right my dear Sango." He stood very close to her.

Sango's eyes widened "MIROKU!"

SLAP!

Miroku now had a large red mark on his face.

Amarinthe hid behind Eriani "they are scary Eri!"

Kagome sighed "No need to be scared, they are always like that."

Sango picked up Kirara and her hiraikotsu "well I'm ready to go." She said sharply, ignoring the smiling monk.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, who was grabbing her bag, "Why were you originally going to take me and not her?"

Eriani smiled "I never knew that she had the power to cross over time… I wasn't expecting just one trip."

Inuyasha growled impatiently "Why can't you just answer the damn question!" Looks at Kagome "you ready wench?"

Kagome glared at him "Why do you have to call me that?"

Inuyasha glared back, then looked away "keh, because I can wench."

Kagome stepped away from him and snapped "SIT Inuyasha!"

SLAM!

Kagome turned away from him as he stood back up "What the hell was that for?"

She turned her head slightly "Because I can."

Inuyasha glared at her and crossed his arms "alright already, lets get the hell out of here."

Eriani looked at Amarinthe "you want to do the honors?"

The girl nodded and changed into a silvery dog creature, with a horn and large ears, her tail was long and whipped around. Amarinthe dipped her head and touched the horn to the ground, a pool of purple light flowed from the horn, the purple light stretched out around the group.

Eriani grabbed Kagome's hand "Everyone stay together ok?"

All the others grabbed hands and looked at Eriani.

Kagome and Inuyasha were holding hands and trying not to blush, Shippo had crawled onto Kagome's back and Sango and Miroku were holding hands; quite reluctantly I might add. Kirara mewed nervously from Sango's grasp and Eriani closed the circle around Amarinthe.

The purple light seemed to swallow the group, the hut around them started to melt away and was soon completely gone. The group could definitely feel a strong pull as the scenery flashed by them in a million colors.

Slowly the world around them started to form into large trees and green grass under their feet, the purple light receded and the group stood in the middle of a large field surrounded by a forest of trees.

Everyone looked around at their surroundings.

Eriani smiled "Everyone, Welcome to the Kingdom of Sylvicia."
