Hey! Welcome back for chapter 10! I hope that you liked the last chapter. Once again, did you think that I would really kill Kagome? If you think that I did, you had better think again. I would never kill Kagome or Inuyasha. I'm sorry to those of you who read this fanfic who are Kanna or Kagura lovers. I'm very sorry, but I didn't see any use for them. So please, don't be mad at me. Well, I want to get on with the chapter, so…Let's get started!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or anyone else related to Inuyasha except for Kimi.
Some Dreams Can Come True, Ya Know!
Chapter 10: The Unexpected Guest and the Soon To Be Daughter
"This is delicious!" Kagome said as she shoved food into her mouth. They had all made it back from Naraku's castle safely. When they had gotten back to the village, they gave a proper burial to Naraku (surprisingly enough), Kanna and Kagura. They were now in their guest home, eating a delicious meal that Kaede had made for them.
"I know! We haven't had food this good in a long time!" Miroku said as he crunched on a piece of bread.
"Well, I'm glad that ye like it." Kaede said. The gang heard a loud boom and the ground shook. Kagome sighed, put down her food, and stood up.
"Let's go check it out." Kagome said, helping Inuyasha up. Shippo sighed, stood up, looked down at his food sadly, and followed everyone else out the door.
When they walked outside, they saw a demon on the outskirts of town. They ran over near it and saw that it was beating up a little boy. "Inuyasha, that demon is beating on that little boy! Help him!" Sango told Inuyasha when she saw what was going on.
"No need to tell me, I'm already on it." Inuyasha said as he pulled out the Tetsusaiga, not transforming it yet.
"Hey, you filthy demon! Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" Inuyasha yelled as he walked over to the demon. The demon looked at Inuyasha. He then dropped the boy, whom he was about to punch again. The demon looked at Inuyasha, then at his sword. Then, the demon started to laugh.
"You're going to beat ME with that flimsy old sword? It couldn't even cut paper that was wet!" The demon said as he laughed.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's exactly what I said when I first saw it. Now, it's going to slit your throat for insulting it!" Inuyasha yelled as he transformed it to its large form. The demon stopped laughing and looked from the sword to Inuyasha, and back to the sword.
"Your not serious!" The demon said.
"Oh yes I am!" Inuyasha said as he lifted up his sword. He was about the use his wind scar, but before he could, an arrow had shot above his head and into the demon's heart.
The demon looked at the arrow in his chest, then it desenagrated right in front of their eyes. When Inuyasha turned around to see who had shot the arrow, he was surprised to see that it was Kagome.
"Now, that'll teach you to think twice before you beat up on a little boy, won't it?" Kagome yelled at the pile of ash that remained of the demon.
Sango ran over to the little boy, who hadn't moved after the demon had dropped him. She knelt by his side. When she saw him, she gasped.
"Those clothes…They're from the demon slayer village!" Sango thought as she looked at him. She held out a shaking hand to turn the boy over. When she did, she gasped, this time tears coming to her eyes.
"K…Ko…Kohaku!" Sango said as she began to cry tears of joy.
"Sango? You okay?" Kagome asked, coming to knell next to Sango. Kagome still hadn't seen Kohaku's face.
Sango turned to look at Kagome. Kagome was surprised to see tears streaming down her face.
"Sango? What's wrong?" Kagome asked, putting a hand on Sango's shoulder.
"Kohaku is alive!" Sango told Kagome to explain her strange behavior. Kagome looked at Kohaku.
"Oh, Sango! We don't need to worry about him getting hurt or killed anymore!" Kagome said, looked very happy.
"Yes, it is." Sango said.
"He has a terrible fever, he looks half starved, and he has cuts and bruises all over him! What happened to my little brother?" Sango thought as she stood up and called Kirara over. She whispered into Kirara's ear. Kirara seemed to nod, then walked over to Kohaku. Sango helped Kohaku onto Kirara's back, and they started to walk over to the guest home while Kagome told the rest of the group what had happened.
"Kohaku is alive?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.
"Yes, it seems so, but Sango looked worried though…" Kagome said as she watched Sango.
"Well, I'll see you later." Kagome said as she started to walk after Sango with Shippo on her shoulder.
"Well, this is a very unexpected guest, isn't it?" Inuyasha asked Miroku.
"I guess so. I don't know about you, but I'm going to go and find out what's wrong with Sango. Want to come with me?" Miroku said as he stood up straight, since he was leaning against a tree.
"Sure." Inuyasha said as he led the way back to their home.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Ooooohhhhh..." Kohaku mumbled as he opened his eyes. He sat up. He looked around the room. Sango was lying on a pallet next to him, fast asleep. He looked on the other side of him. He saw a wooden bowl with water in it, and a damp cloth draped over the side of it.
Without warning, his eyes flashed to a different scene.
"Surround it!" His father yelled at the slayers. There was a large spider demon in front of him. He was in his demon slayer clothes. The spider demon was spitting out spider webs. A few of the strands grabbed Kohaku and flung him up in the air.
"Kohaku!" Hamana yelled and used his weapon to slice the webs apart. (A/N I had to think up names for the demon slayers, because I couldn't be saying things like, "that one said," and "another one said". It started to get annoying after a while so I just thought up names.)
When Kohaku landed, Hamana walked over to him, put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Take a deep breath." Kohaku nodded and looked up to see Kiman cutting up the spider's side. His father then used his weapon to hold down the spider's neck.
"It's down! I have it!" His father yelled at the slayers.
"Hiraikotsu!" Sango yelled as she threw her boomerang at the spider. It sliced the spider demon's lower body, almost cutting it in half. Sango caught her Hiraikotsu and skid backwards a little bit.
"Sango is incredible!" Kohaku said, his body acting of it's own accord.
"They claim that she is the best in the village!" Hamana said.
"Wow!" One of the lord's guards said.
"She took the demon down in one swing!" Another one said.
"All right! Lets finish this off!" Janki said.
"Off with it's head!" Amani yelled as they lifted their weapons.
"This is where I come in!" Kohaku said as he started to run towards the spider. He stopped running after a bit and felt himself go into a daze.
"For a demon so large, it was easy bringing it down!" Hamana said as he started to chop off one of its horns.
"It was to easy, there's something about this spider that rings false!" Sango said. Then she gasped.
Kohaku had thrown his weapon and it had killed Hamana and Janki, and it had also killed their father. He threw it again, this time killing Amani, Kitari, Lomikan, and Treil. Sango watched in horror as they fell to the ground, dead. Sango then looked to see who had killed them. Her eyes filled with fear when she saw that it was Kohaku.
"Kohaku! Why did you slay father and the others?" Sango yelled at her little brother. Kohaku, still not having control of his body, started to run at Sango, weapon in hand.
"No, don't Kohaku!" Sango yelled, holding out a hand in front of her. Kohaku threw his weapon at her. She dodged it, but it nicked her check, slicing off her mask. Sango fell to her knees and asked, "Have you forgotten who I am?"
"What's going on? Halt lad!" One of the lord's guards yelled.
"Stop this madness!" Another one yelled.
"Let him continue. It should prove to be quite entertaining!" The lord told his guards, shocking them.
Kohaku then threw his weapon at Sango again, but Sango had her sword out. She wrapped the chain of his weapon around her sword, and then pulled it away from him. He started to run towards her, getting out his sword.
He jumped, bringing his sword down on top of her. She blocked it with her own sword.
She started to run, pushing Kohaku back, asking, "Why do you do this Kohaku?"
Sango looked at his neck. Her eyes seemed to follow something. Then, her eyes fell on the lord.
"He's the one!" Sango said as she pushed Kohaku away, kicked him in the stomach, then started to run. She grabbed her Hiraikotsu and stopped running.
"You did this to him! You're finished!" She yelled at the lord.
"The siblings have taken leave of their senses. Kill them both!" The lord ordered his guards.
A few of the guards started to charge at Sango. She started to run towards them as well. She swiped at them with her Hiraikotsu as she ran past them. She then swiped at two more. She just kept on running.
She stopped running when she felt pain explode in her back. Kohaku had thrown his weapon at her and hit her right in her back.
She turned around to see Kohaku had thrown it. He was shaking. He fell to his knees, dropped the chain and looked at his hands. He took off his mask and looked at Sango. "Sango, what have I done?" He asked her, tears coming into his eyes.
"Kohaku…" Sango said, falling to her knees.
"No! Sango!" Kohaku yelled as he started running towards her, still wondering what was going on yet, and wondering how his body was moving by itself.
Kohaku then felt pain in his chest. He staggered backwards, and then fell to the ground. Sango watched him fall, then, she started crawled over to him.
"Take aim and cast your arrows at the crazed siblings." The lord ordered.
"Kohaku…" Sango said as she leaned over him.
"Help me Sango, I'm so afraid." Kohaku said, tears in his eyes, and blood trickling out of the side of his mouth.
"Do not worry now, I am here." Sango said. Then, she felt pain explode in her back again. This time, the lord's guards had shot her. Kohaku watched Sango fall on top of him, seemingly dead.
Then, his eyes flashed back to the room that he was in. He burst into moaning and sobs. Sango sat up. She looked at Kohaku.
"Oh, Kohaku! What's wrong?" Sango asked as she walked over to him, sat down, and put her arm around his shoulders.
"I killed them, I killed them all, didn't I Sango? I also almost killed you, didn't I?" Kohaku asked her between sobs.
"Well, you, you didn't…" Sango said, trying to choose her words carefully.
"Just tell me!" Kohaku demanded.
"Well, yes, you did, but you didn't. You did those things while under a spell. Naraku's father had put you under it. Don't blame yourself for something that you didn't do! You didn't kill father and the others, the crazed lord did." Sango told him, tightening her grip on his shoulders comfortingly.
After a while, his moaning and sobs died down, and soon, he fell asleep. Sango was afraid that if she removed her arm, that she would wake him up, so, she just leaned her head on his shoulder and fell asleep.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Sango? You awake?" Kagome asked as she knocked on the door.
"Just a minute." Kagome heard Sango's voice say. The door slid open. Sango was standing there, looking like she had just woken up.
"What is it Kagome?" Sango asked her.
"Well, we've gotten a urgent call from a monk village that's near here. It's being attacked by demons. We need to go there as soon as possible." Kagome told her.
"If you want to, you can bring Kohaku with us so that he won't have to stay here with Kaede. You need to get dressed and we can leave."
"Okay. I'll be out in a minute." Sango told Kagome. While Kagome walked away, she went and woke up Kohaku.
"Kohaku, wake up! It's time to get up!" Sango said as she shook him lightly.
"Wha?" Kohaku asked her, opening his eyes.
"It's time to get up." Sango told him, helping him sit up.
"Do you want something to eat?" Sango asked him.
"No, thanks. I'm fine." Kohaku said.
"Listen Kohaku. We have just gotten an urgent call from a nearby monk village. We need to go and kill some demons that are attacking the village. Do you want to come with us or stay with here with Lady Kaede?" Sango asked him.
"I think that I want to go with you." Kohaku said. They both heard a happy mew behind them. Kohaku turned around, only to be bowled over by a small amount of tan colored fur.
"Kirara!" Kohaku said as he took Kirara off of him and started to giggle.
"Well, then we need to get going." Sango told Kohaku. He nodded and grabbed his things. They were both ready in about two or three minutes.
"Let's go find Kagome." Sango said as she led the way out of the room.
"Both of you ready to go?" Miroku asked the two siblings.
"Sure." Kohaku told him.
"Then let's go." Inuyasha said, getting impatient. Kagome then go onto Inuyasha's back and Shippo go onto Kagome's shoulder. Kirara transformed into her large form and Kimi, Sango, Miroku, and Kohaku got onto her back.
They all took off, Inuyasha running and Kirara flying. They stopped to take a small break at a river. They were really near the village, so they decided to walk the rest of the way. They made their way through some trees.
"Hey guys, I'm going to run ahead." Kagome said.
"Okay, but be careful." Inuyasha told her.
"I will!" Kagome yelled behind her.
She started to run towards the direction of the village. She reached the edge of the forest. When she saw what was in front of her, tears came to her eyes. The village of the monks was destroyed. Everyone was dead.
She started to cry. Inuyasha heard someone crying and the smell of salt.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran to find her. He found her on her knees.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" He asked her. She pointed in front of them. He looked and saw the village destroyed.
"Oh, Kagome!" Inuyasha said. When the others showed up and saw the destruction, they all looked sad. Inuyasha sniffed the air.
"What do you smell Inuyasha?" Kagome asked him.
"Strangely enough, you may think that I'm crazy, but I smell you!" Inuyasha said.
"What?" Kagome asked him. "I haven't been here before in my life!" Kagome said as she stood up.
"Well, I'm going to go and find the source of the smell!" Inuyasha told Kagome as he took off.
"Wait Inuyasha! I want to go with you!" Kagome yelled after him. He ran back to her and swung her onto his back.
He started to dig around like crazy. After a while if digging, they started to hear a faint cry. It sounded like a baby.
"Inuyasha! Hurry up! Dig faster!" Kagome told him. After about five minutes, Inuyasha had almost dug the baby free.
"Almost there…" Inuyasha told Kagome. Kagome had gotten off of his back. She decided to start digging to.
While Inuyasha went to go and bring the others, Kagome finished uncovering the baby. She picked it up and shushed it's crying. She then looked at the baby. It was a girl. It had silver hair, dog ears, brown eyes, and had a cute little dress on.
"Those clothes, they're from my time! And the hair, it's like Inuyasha's and Kimi's! And the eyes, they look like mine! And the dog ears! But this can't be my child, could it?" Kagome thought.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled. Kagome turned around with the baby in her arms. Inuyasha walked over to her.
"Kagome, the baby smells like you!" Inuyasha told her, not yet looking closely at the baby.
"Inuyasha! Look at the hair! Look at the ears! Look at the eyes! This looks like it's our baby!" Kagome told him. Inuyasha looked at it. He also sniffed at her.
"It smells like me to! But how?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.
"I don't know…" Kagome told him.
"Do you want to keep her?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.
"Uuuuuhhhhh, I don't know, do you?" Kagome asked him.
"Sure, I don't see why not." Inuyasha said.
"Okay! Let's keep her!" Kagome said making up her mind.
"What are you looking at Kagome?" Kimi asked as she walked over to them.
"Oh! She…She looks just like you Kagome! And she also looks like Inuyasha!" Sango asked them.
"But how?" Kimi asked them.
"We don't know." Kagome said simply.
"Oh, how cute!" Miroku said when he saw the baby.
"What's going on here?" Shippo asked.
"We don't know." Inuyasha said.
"What are you going to name her Kagome?" Sango asked her.
"I don't know yet." Kagome said.
"Let's get back to the village and tell Kaede what happened." Shippo said.
"Yeah, let's bet going." Kohaku said.
They all grabbed their stuff and headed back to Kaede's village with a new family member (for Inuyasha and Kagome's family).

zodiakwizard: Ha! Fooled you, didn't I? Well, I'm glad that you liked it. You know, "bean da bean" is getting a little bit annoying, so stop saying it! Only use it at school!
inuluver: Yeah, I know, but I wanted to get to the battle. I'm glad that you like it. I'm also glad that you think that I did a great job. )
Well, that was chapter 10. I hope that you liked it. If you were still wondering who the "unexpected guest" was, it was Kohaku. If your wondering who the "soon to be daughter" is, it was the baby that they found at the destroyed village of the monks. And speaking of the baby, her name is still up for grabs, so when you review, please leave a name suggestion or two and I will choose the best one. Well, I need to go and do my chores, so bye for now! Don't forget to review!
