A/N: Ok… a little bit of whats going on… Sesshoumaru… Kagome… Kouga… Inuyasha…Shippo…Sango… Miroku… and yes even Taisho wake up in Darkness. A great family Reunion in total darkness but are interrupted by a young boy who tells them they are dead… dun dun dunnnn.
Chapter Two: Unexpected Descendants
The group were started with a uproar on why…. When… how… Taisho looked at the boy as he waved his hand to silence the others. "Tell me exactly who you are." Taisho said with his mask still in place. The boy smiled and bowed. " I am Prince Li of the dead and the resurrected. Sorry for not introduce myself earlier, but you seemed to have already knew me." All of the group looked at Sango who only looked down. "Sorry." Li nodded in forgiveness. "So…" Kouga started. "What are we doing here then?" Li hugged his teddy bear with a grin. "My mommy used to tell me stories of you when I was young and you were such great heroes. So…" He then loosened on the bear and his grin slightly faded. "You are going back to the land of the living to help someone."
All of them jumped in protest. "What! Who?" Li hugged his bear and closed his eyes. " Yepp… it was either you go back and help those you are to help or you go straight to the land of judgment." He then opened his eyes and looked a Taisho. "It's your choice to keep the Family alive or not." With that Li hugged his bear again.
The party debated and debated then finally Inuyasha spoke. "Exactly who are we helping and how?" Everyone froze waiting for a response. Prince Li looked up from his Bear and said softly. "You will be helping the Shikon family of warriors. All in which are your descendants from your lives before you died. Now they are older and have children and families of their own but their world is in great danger." He paused. "I have already sent Rin back. Jaken never died, he is living in the house of gold there… you will find your information. He is expecting you as well as Lord Souta."
With the last comment Kagome looked at him tears in her eyes. "My Brother Souta? He's not dead?" Li giggled at this. "Of coarse not, silly! He is alive and well. Last he heard he's pushing the age of seventy but he's doing well." Kagome gasped. "Seventy? ... What year are we going into?" Prince Li scratched his scalp a little. "I think around the year 2062, but I'm not too sure." He shrugged. "Guess you'll find out huh?"
Kagome looked at the others with a longing face. "Please… my brother and your descendants need us. Can we do it?" Everyone nodded even Sesshoumaru grunted in agreement. Prince Li saw this and did a victory hop and then waved his fingers gently together. "Well I hope not to see you for a really long time… good luck!" With that he disappeared and then blurry images started to appear all around them… it was night and there they stood in an opening between two large abandoned skyscrapers and they could hear small whispers in the dark.
Lina and Nonoka looked around silently as they sat patiently and waited in the pits of darkness in one of the abandoned buildings of Tokyo. 'Man,' thought Lina. 'Where the hell is that girl Angelita?' They scanned the area for any possible movement but nothing. She and Nonoka had been waiting for the General for near three hours and still she hadn't come by. Lina was tired and they needed to get back to base as soon as possible because Nonoka needed rest as well. Lina could always tell her friend's body language especially now that Nonoka was with child and really shouldn't be out here with her, but somehow the pregnant youkai convinced her tag along.
Lina was the eldest of their company, and also one of the wisest, but as time grew by, her age caught up and things just weren't the same for her. She only wished that her would live up to the Inu name. She grinned as she thought of her son, how he was such a pain in the butt. Now he was a loving husband and a soon-to-be father. Nonoka was lucky to have mated her son… her only son, Keshi.
Nokona stirred a bit trying to keep awake which caused Lina to abandon her thoughts. "My, my you sure are sleepy. I should have left you at the base!" Lina teased playfully. Nokona looked up at her comrade, her dark blue eyes partly opened. "I couldn't help it." She fiddled with a small strand of long black hair. "Just missed Angelita so much, and in a way I even think my pup misses her too." She smiled at the thought, then she slightly rose to her feet, brushing off her silver Kimono that had a single red rose lased in the back.
Lina jumped up quickly at the sight of her daughter in-law's rise in fear of something going wrong. Lina knew that Nonoka was a very frail and weak youkai so she only feared for the young woman's safety. "Please do take it easy. I would just beat myself if you or my grandbaby were hurt in any way." She wrapped a gentle arm around Nokona's waist and held her hand. "Come let us go back to base." She gave a small smile.
Nokona was about to answer when she noticed movement down below in the alley, at this she jumped in excitement. In a small excited whisper she pointed at the direction of a group of figures hidden in the shadows of the building. "LOOK!" Lina let go of her companion and walked to the edge and looked over. "Looks like outsiders… could be the enemy or…" She squinted as she grabbed the small holster gun at her side. "Maybe even worse."
Kagome looked around trying to see the smallest details of where they were and then noticed instantly that this place was not as likable as she had hoped. She too had heard distant whispering, so she silently crept between Sesshoumaru and Taisho's bodies in order to feel protected. "Where are we?" She asked as she looked up at Sesshoumaru, but before he could answer Inuyasha cut in from behind. "I believe that this is your home Kagome… look at these temples…" He walked in front of them and stared up at the building on the left. "This USED to be your home." He corrected himself.
"Well… If this is your home, no wonder you kept coming into our time." Miroku smirked in joking humor. "SMACK!" Miroku was touching his face with twinkling eyes as he rubbed his cheek. "Thanks for reminding me Sango." The whole group laughed a bit and were about to comment more on Miroku when Shippo yelled high at the building on the right.
"Hello!"
The noise echoed up throughout the entire scenery. But only silence called back, even the whispering stopped. 'Something doesn't feel right' Shippo thought as he started to back away slowly into Kagome's knees. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha both drew their swords and looked in the direction of where Shippo was yelling and were ready for battle. Sango and Miroku led Kagome and Shippo into the opposite building through a broken window. Once they were sure they were safe inside, Sango and Miroku also prepared for unwanted negative contact.
Kouga saw Kagome and jumped into the window as well then yelled at the outsiders. "You do what you need to… I will keep my woman safe." Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha both glared at the wolf but looked back at their mission.
Taisho took a few steps into the clearing and sniffed. "Come out of you will suffer the painful consequences!" He howled. "Face us and stop being cowards."
Lina grinned as she saw them prepare for a fight but then looked at Nonoka, who was now searching for her gun in her Kimono. 'This is going to be interesting.' Thought Lina. She was prepared to take on the enemy but she couldn't bring Nonoka into the fight… not in her condition.
When they heard the voices down below calling for them to go face to face with strangers Lina smirked. "Cowards are we?" She mumbled. "These guys must be fuckin' stupid to just start yelling in the middle of the night where the darkness can hear you." She then looked at her dear daughter in-law and smiled. "Do you think we should warn them?" Nonoka only stared out into the night with a blank face. "No need to… the enemy is here!"
From out of no where about fourteen giant monsters were atop the group and were not too happy. Inuyasha leapt towards the big giant monster that held five angry tentacles, each one swinging at a new member. Taisho drew his sword, cutting off the head that of a smaller green monster that held only three tentacles. Sesshoumaru was thrown into the abiding building across the way with a grunt. Sango and Miroku were being squeezed slowly to death, till suddenly it loosened.
A big blue monster that was as tall as the sky scraper itself held Taisho under a small tentacle as it laughed in a deep eerie voice. "Puny little creatures. Ha…Ha…Ha." He and his comrades continued to laugh until he smelt it. The smell that most irritated and angered him… she was here!
Loosening up on the demon lord in order for him to somewhat escape, he looked into the darkness in front of him. Taisho and the rest of his comrades looked forward at the direction to where the monster was looking and there… came a figure in black.
The leader of the monsters roared tauntingly. "If it isn't the one… the only… General Angelita!" He laughed at his insult as well as his comrades. She strode up slowly, her brown hair pulled back into a tight braid that fell past her back. Her commando boots clunked to the touch of the ground while at her hip she held three nicely placed guns. Her green eyes glinted in the moonlight as she stopped only feet away from the monster… enough for everyone to recognize her.
She crossed her arms and started to pace slowly. "If it isn't the great… strong… intelligent General Eken." She too giggled. This angered the monster as he threw Taisho into the wall next to Sango and Miroku all in which watched the two Generals eye each other.
"Really?" Angelita stopped as Taisho hit the wall with a hiss. "Is it necessary to throw your victims instead of kill them? My goodness you have become fucking sloppy." She spit on the ground. Eken growled in irritation. "I was waiting to kill you… but now… is not the time…" He looked at the sky. "Our war will finish soon. As for your little friends up there…" He pointed up to where Lina and Nonoka were peeking from. "They will get to watch at another time…" His comrades faded and all was left but him. "Oh! Before I go… tell Rin Ill be seeing her….very soon…Ha…Ha…Ha.." With that he disappeared.
Taisho stood up while Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha helped Sango and Miroku to their feet. Lina and Nonoka jumped down from their area to greet the General. Taisho helped Shippo and the rest of the remaining group out of the building and all stared at the General and her comrades.
"Lina" Angelita said motionlessly as she looked into her friend's eyes. "Why is Nonoka here?..." Nonoka jumped in before Lina could answer. "I wanted to come… I don't want to stay at the base to find out that our great General died, it would only be fair." Angelita Laughed and then looked at the moon. "My dear… life is never fair…" She was about to say something but was cut off yet again by Sesshoumaru. "Who are you?"
Angelita looked over at the group and strode towards him only to stop a few feet away from the company, putting a hand on her hip. "I should be asking the same question." Inuyasha glared. "How so?" Angelita took a step forward only to stop right in front of the blushing Inuyasha. "Because I am the General of Lord Souta's army and these are his lands, boy." She said with a confident ease. After making her statement she backed away a bit and looked at him a little clearer, "So who are you and why are you here during these dreary hours?"
Before Inuyasha could speak Taisho spoke. "He is my youngest son Inuyasha no Taisho, prince of the Western lands." He stepped forward with a confident tone. "I am lord Inu no Taisho." He nodded in his other son's direction with no emotion. "Lord Sesshoumaru, my eldest son and the rest are my son's comrades. We were resurrected to help you in the painful times." The group bowed in introduction and then waited for a reply.
Angelita, Lina, and even frail Nonoka crouched over laughing. Nonoka spoke through the loss of air through the giggles. "You…haha…have to be….hahaha… Joking!" Lina continued to laugh until she nearly fell over and Angelita slowly started to calm down with only small giggles as she shook her head. "No… really who are you?" Angelita shushed her group to quiet down. Taisho closed his eyes then opened them to face Angelita whose eyebrows were arched in wonder. "I never joke. What I say is true." Lina and Nonoka began laughing again and Angelita giggled. "Oh really? Hey, Lina!.." She looked at her friend who was laughing. "This guy claims to be your Grand-pa! Hahahaha!" Now Lina finally did fall over laughing then Angelita smiled back at the group. "If you are who you say you are… You are sure in the wrong century."
Taisho knew she was toying with them and for some strange reason, he let it be done. He growled at her, and she bowed. "I will let my lord decide who you are. I don't read much into your history and Lina never knew any of you… so hopefully we will find out huh?" She then walked over to Nonoka and kissed her forehead. "Come lil' mommy. I think you pup and you are hungry, I could hear it all the way at the base." They all giggled.
Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru looked at their father who only shook his head. Shippo walked up to the women and cleared his throat. "Are you a youkai general?" Angelita whirled around and grinned as she knelt before him. "No… but I work for the Youkai in this territory. Are you afraid of me?" She straightened. Shippo shook his head, "I'm afraid of nothing!" She laughed then walked over past Sango and to the small building where she placed a piece of paper with a symbol onto the cement.
With that she walked back over to her friends and started to gather them up to leave. Taisho and the rest stood in frustration till Angelita looked back at them. "Are you coming or what?" Taisho frown. 'I'm not sure our visit with these people will be a nice one.' He motioned the group to follow. 'But for some reason, she looks to me to be a caring somewhat arrogant, human.' They all started walking through the dark alleyways of the night.
