Chapter 14

Kyasha's birthday

Inuyasha, Kagome, Daitan, and now Kyasha were all back in the future. They had decided to let Kyasha finish her year of school before they completely moved to Inuyasha's time. It had been a few days now since Inuyasha started training Kyasha, they had been working hard, and Kyasha was at he limits with tasks to do for the village to gain more muscle and balance from carrying huge objects. But now, they all were sat around the Higurashi table waiting for Mrs. Higurashi to return.

"So…" Kagome asked, trying to buy time for her mother.

"Why are we here again?" Kyasha asked for the hundredth time since they had gotten there.

"Just to visit." Kagome answered. Just then, the door opened to show Souta coming in.

"Oh hi everyone, what brings you here?" He asked casually, knowing why already.

"Just visiting, ya know, can't we?" Kagome asked her younger brother who was now not so young anymore. He had a new girlfriend now, living somewhere in Tokyo and was nearing his thirties.

"Nice to see you all….and who might this be?" He asked as he peered behind his brother-in-law, Inuyasha, and saw Kyasha sitting there, bored.

"Oh, this is Kyasha, she's our daughter." Kagome added. Souta gawked, but Inuyasha glared at him to shut him up.

"Well, nice to meet you Kyasha." He said as he extended a hand out to her. Kyasha looked at it like it was going to kill her and ended up shaking his hand.

"Uncle Souta." Daitan screeched as he came running around the corner and jumped on Souta.

"Hi squirt, what's new?" He asked.

"Oh, just visiting Grandma…" He trailed off.

"Great, do you want to visit me too?" he asked. Daitan smiled.

"Yeah." He said as he hopped down and ran out the door again, obviously smelling his Grandmother.

She's here." Inuyasha stated. They all got up and went to see Mrs. Higurashi come in with an arm load of Groceries.

"Hi, nice to see you." She smiled.

Mother, can I see you in the other room?" Kagome asked, but her mother nodded and they left the kitchen and went down the hallway. Kyasha just sat there with her new uncle, her father, and her annoying little brother.

"So, what are we doing here again?" Kyasha asked, knowing it would annoy her father. Over the past few days, she'd grown to love annoying the old man, he was pretty easy to annoy. She could just repeat stuff over and over again, or just not pay attention so he'd have to repeat himself.

"Kyasha, if you don't shut up, I'll shove Tetsusaiga up your--" Inuyasha was interrupted by her mother and grandmother coming back in, but this time they carried a giant birthday cake. Kyasha gawked, they remembered her birthday?

"Happy birthday Kyasha." Kagome chimed as they lay the cake on the table in front of her.

"Oh, wow, thanks you guys, this is awesome!" Kyasha giggled, out of her bad mood she hopped out of her seat to get a good look at the ice cream cake sitting in front of her.

"Ooo, can I have some?" Daitan said as he hopped up to get a good look as well.

"Everyone will get some, don't worry…That reminds me, your father and I got you a gift." Kagome said softly as she walked out of the room.

"You did?" Kyasha asked as she watched her mother return into the kitchen with a white box about half the size of Daitan.

"This is something very special, we had it especially made for you, and we hope you like it." Kagome said. Kyasha looked at the box in front of her, she glanced at Inuyasha and he was staring back at her. She tried to read his thoughts but to no avail.

"Okay, here we go." She whispered to herself as she slowly tore off the wrapping paper. Then she lifted the lid of the box to see a bright red material. She lifted it up and her mouth opened full. "Oh my god, you…made me this?" In her hands was an almost identical fire rat haori to Inuyasha's, her father's, outfit. It was a little smaller, and it had a different form to it, showing a little more feminine look.

"Do you like it?" Inuyasha asked.

"I love it! It's awesome!" Kyasha giggled. "I'll go try it on." She ran out of the room, leaving everyone smiling.

"It's like she's never gotten a gift before or something." Souta chided. Kyasha returned a few minutes later, wearing her new outfit. It fit her perfectly, a little loose like Inuyasha's and it was the perfect length.

"It's so comfy." She giggled again. She twirled around to see what it looked like from all angles.

"It looks good on you." Inuyasha smiled. He glanced at Kagome and she was about to cry seeing her daughter so happy.

"Thank you guys so much." She screamed and ran into Kagome for a hug, then turned and hugged Inuyasha. He slowly moved his arms to hug her back.

"You have to open my present now." Daitan said as he pulled Kyasha over to where his gift was. She smiled, it was wrapped and packaged by him, it looked like small, round rock, but she took it anyway.

"Is this for me?" She asked, sounding really anxious.

"Yeah, open it, open it!" He screeched. She opened it and was proven correct; it was a small rock, bright white and was really shiny in the light.

"I love it Daitan, thank you." She said as she gave him a big hug.

"Eww, gross, stop hugging me." He said as he pushed her away. Everyone giggled.

"Oww!" Kyasha cried as she slapped her neck. "Hi Myouga." She said as everyone followed the two hanyous into the living room.

"Myouga? What are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked.

"I've come to say grace to Kyasha being it's her birthday and all." He smiled.

"Thanks Myouga." She said.

"I've brought you something also. It's just outside." Kyasha jumped up in excitement, she couldn't believe all these presents she was getting. She ran outside to see Sesshoumaru standing there.

"Happy birthday Kyasha." The gruff youkai said as he walked up to her.

"Uhh, thank you." She said as she noticed the box in his hands. He handed her the box and she took it. "Is this for me?" Eventually everyone else came outside.

"Sesshoumaru? What the hell are you doing here?" Inuyasha growled.

"I'm here to bring Kyasha's gift, the flee was too small to bring it himself." He said as he started to walk away. "Never lose that gift Kyasha, your life depends on it." Then he was gone.

"Well, open it Lady Kyasha." Myouga chided.

"Uhh, okay." She slowly opened the unwrapped box. She was afraid of it, thinking it was something that could hurt her or someone in a way. She finally got the box open, then, lying there in the box was a sword…not a plastic one, but a real sword, with a brown leather handle, and a carved blade, curved at the top. "Are you serious?"

"What is it, Kyasha?" Kagome asked. Kyasha pulled it out and everyone gasped.

"A sword?" Inuyasha asked. He glanced at the flea but he was gone. "Why would they--? He cut himself off as he remembered a conversation he shared with his half-brother long ago.

"Well, I'm here to explain why that it is…that her blood is stronger, more specifically her youkai blood." Sesshoumaru stated calmly.

"Well, what is it? What do you know?" Inuyasha yelled.

"Patience Inuyasha, what I want to say is important, I'm having Myouga do something about this, but nothing has happened yet." Sesshoumaru glanced up at the moon that was just coming up, but then something caught his nose. He looked down, and so did Inuyasha. They both were shocked to see Kyasha changing, her hair turned black, hr claws and fangs vanished and her scent changed, Inuyasha was proven that she was his daughter when he scent changed to be identical to Kagome's.

"So, her night of vulnerability, interesting. The night of the first quarter moon." Sesshoumaru stated.

"What were you going to say…about Kyasha's blood?" Inuyasha said, changing the subject.

"Yes, what I was going to say was, when I attacked Kyasha instead of you, by accident, I transferred some of my blood into hers. Therefore, mixing our blood." He added. "Her youkai blood is now stronger because of it, and now that it is, she is more vulnerable to her own youkai blood."

"So, is there anything we can do to reverse it?" Inuyasha asked, obviously in deep thought.

"No, it's irreversible, but that's what Myouga's trying to do, he's talking to Totosai and try to make another sword, like yours, that will protect her from this." He informed. Sesshoumaru stood up and got ready to go. "I need you to bring me the girl after she's been told who exactly she is; you need to tell her who you really are."

Inuyasha shook his head from that memory, he forgot to bring Kyasha to Sesshoumaru, and maybe he should do that after her party. He glanced at Kagome and she was staring at the rather large sword her daughter had received.

"Wow, it looks like Daddy's sword." Daitan exclaimed as he took the sight in. Kyasha was in her own world looking at the sword. She swung it around, it looked heavy to her, but when she flung it around, it became light as a feather to her. 'What does this mean? Why did I get a real live sword?' She thought to herself.

"Kyasha." Inuyasha spoke softly. She looked up at him. "Come with me." She looked confused but followed him as he began down the steps to the street.

"Excuse me, but where do you think you two are going?" kagome said angrily with her hands on her hips.

"I have to bring Kyasha somewhere, we won't be long." He grabbed Kyasha as she sheathed her sword in her belt of her outfit and they were off towards Sesshoumaru's house for some answers.

88888888888888888

"Okay, are you going to tell me now?" Kyasha asked as they walked down the street, she had no clue where they were going.

"Just be quiet, you'll see when we get there." He grumbled.

"Fine." She growled. She pulled her sword out again. She looked at it, it was just an old blade, about two feet long, but it was sharp, from what she seen. She hadn't gotten to change, she was still wearing her fire rat haori, she had a few eyes watch her with confused looks, she understood, she was dressed to fit in with the feudal era and had a sword attached to her waist, at least she was in her human form. She glanced up at her father, he was looking dead ahead, lost in his thoughts she guessed. 'I wonder what he's thinking…and where are we going?' She began to think about past moments that would clue into where their destination was, but to no avail.

"Were almost there." Inuyasha answered her thoughts. She glanced forward and found a forest in front of them.

"Okay, why are we heading to a forest in the middle of no where?" She asked him.

"You'll see." He grabbed her and ran into the forest; he didn't push her, knowing that she was a human because of her necklace.

"Where are we going? Come on, you're going to have to tell me sometime…why don't you just get it over w--" Kyasha was cut off when Inuyasha stopped in the middle of no where. "Where are we?" To her surprise, Inuyasha pulled out a cell phone and dialed a number, he began mumbling to someone on the other end, but being human she couldn't hear. She began to take it off when a hand clasped over hers and stopped her, she glanced up to see Inuyasha smirking at her, then mouth the word 'No' then went back to talking on the phone.

"Okay, we have to wait here for a few, why don't you look around or pick flowers, whatever you girls do." With that, Inuyasha walked over and sat on a rather large rock, crossed his legs and just started to stare off into space.

"Excuse me, but where do you get off that you can just pull me away and take me to the middle of no where then expect me to just sit here and 'pick flowers' and wait. I don't think so." She complained.

"Fine by me, but you are staying here, someone's coming to meet us here and this has to do with you, so just sit your butt down and wait." He grumbled. Kyasha made a sound that sounded like a growl and sat down on the other side of the clearing. She got bored right away and started whistling, which began to tick off her father. When that tired her out, she sat up and grabbed a branch then started to draw pictures in the ground in front of her. Once there was no more room for a drawing she grabbed rocks and through them up in the air, that lasted about ten seconds once Kyasha lost control of where the rock was going and hit Inuyasha in the head.

"Would you just stay still!" He demanded.

"If you actually said something or moved around and did something with me I wouldn't annoy you out of your mind!" Kyasha spat out.

"Well what that hell did you have in mind?" He asked, deciding to go along with her until he arrived.

"Ummm…" Kyasha looked around to find something they could use to make a game of some sort. Nothing came to mind. "Not sure…you have any bright ideas?"

"It was your idea; you're as complicated as your mother." He growled. Kyasha jumped up.

"I got an idea, why don't you tell me about you and Mama's past, like how did you guys meet, you know the usual?" She asked. He gave it a thought, it was a good idea, and she did deserve the truth of their past, and her past as well.

"Okay, but I can't tell you all because the guy were meeting here, will be coming shortly." He started. Kyasha nodded in understanding and came to sit in front of Inuyasha. "It all started when your mother fell through the well on her fifteenth birthday, she was then brought back into the feudal era of Japan." Inuyasha told Kyasha everything from when Kagome pulled the arrow from Inuyasha's chest to when she broke the jewel; he made it to where they had met Shippou when a sound came from the bushes from where they came from.

"Took you long enough." Inuyasha said as he stood up. Kyasha was confused, this was the guy they had been waiting for, but who was it?

"Don't worry little brother, I've arrived." The man said.

"Sesshoumaru? We were meeting you here?" She said as she glanced at her father for an explanation.

"He was the one who had the idea to give you that sword; he's gonna be the one to tell you how to use it and why you need it. Now sit down and listen." Inuyasha directed Kyasha onto a rock where she sat down and pouted.

"Yes, now I'm going to start at the beginning, listen carefully." He started as he glanced at his annoyed niece. "Awhile back, I attacked my younger brother, your father, you just happened to be open it. When I attack him, you just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"You make it sound like I am a clumsy ditz, which I'm not." Kyasha grumbled.

"No matter…" He ignored her comment, holding in a smile at how alike she was to a certain hanyou he knew. "When I attacked you, some of my blood mixed with yours…I didn't know this until I heard of how long it took for you to recover. I then, talked to Myouga and asked him of your past life of your youkai blood, to see if you had any problems with it. He said you once had a mishap, so I put two and two together. Now that a part of my blood runs through your veins, your youkai blood will be more powerful and it will become easier for it to take over, causing you to transform into you full youkai state." He paused to let is sink in, then when he received a nod from the girl he continued.

"I talked to Myouga and he instructed that one of us talk to an old friend of the family's, or so you could say, named Totosai. He was to make a sword, but not just any sword. The sword you hold now, it holds special powers that can help you control your youkai blood, but only when it's near you." He glanced at Inuyasha.

"You mean, like Tetsuiga?" Inuyasha asked. Kyasha glanced at him. He hadn't said one word since Sesshoumaru had arrived and she was just noticing, but why would he become so quiet?

"Yes, your sword serves the same purpose. Now that you have this sword, you must become 'one' with it, use it and let it act as a new attachment to your own body. This sword was made from a combination of my fang and your father's fang. This sword is powerful, take care of it." Sesshoumaru stood up was about to leave when he remembered something he had forgotten to say, he glanced back to see a very confused Kyasha. "Oh, and by the way, the sword's name is Akari no Kurai…" Then he left.

"Akari no Kurai….Light and Darkness." She mumbled to herself.

'It's made from my fang also? But, I don't remember giving that old bagger my fang, when did that happen?' Inuyasha thought to himself. "So, do you wanna head back yet?" He glanced at Kyasha, he didn't need an answer, he knew she wanted to stay…he nodded in understanding.

"Father, what did he mean by 'let it become like a new attachment to your body' am I suppose to use this in battle?" Kyasha asked as she pulled out the sword.

"You'll have to find that out on your own, that was the purpose of having you come, you're old enough where you have to solve most of your own problems, got it?" He reasoned. She nodded. Kyasha stood up and sheathed her new sword, 'Akari no Kurai, and they both left the forest.

'A sword? Why couldn't I get a dagger, or a simple gun…I can't use this, I don't think I ever will, I can't kill people…' Kyasha worried about this for a long time, she knew her father killed, she just knew she would have to too.

This was one of the weirdest birthday parties she had celebrated in a long time; maybe being in the Izayoi family was going to be quite entertaining. If she only knew how right she was.
