Mika: Waaaaaaaah!
Moo: Quack?
Mika: What's wrong with me? I'm sad! I feel bad that I haven't updated in a while...
Moo: Quack Quack.
Mika: What do you mean, if I paid more attention to writing than anime I'd be better off?
Moo: I'm just saying...
Mika: NEVER DENOUNCE THE WONDER OF ANIME IN MY PRESENCE!!!
Moo: fine ms. almighty.
Mika: lightning strikes O.O Since when can you talk?
Moo: That reader over there got tired of you translating and put the Super Ducky Translator 3000 on me.
Mika: Oh. Onto the disclaimer! I do not own Inuyasha; I only own the twins and Mika. And I forgot to mention that I don't own Speedo watches either, though Mika wore one in the prologue...
Previously: Mika was getting ready to charge her brothers' capturer when she felt the prickling sensation of her mother's scent on her left. She turned, but was so absorbed that she didn't notice the hanyou charge her and she didn't have enough time to stop him from pinning her to a tree, claws bared. Suddenly, he stopped too and let go of her, turning to the two figures that had just appeared. Rubbing her neck Mika stood and stared, just as her brothers and their capturer were doing.
"Kagome?" he whispered, yet because of her hidden senses Mika could make his words audible. How did he know her mother? The other figure, whose scent was rank with youkai blood, said to her mother, "Now I can put my plan in motion." He grabbed her hand and she screamed, the scent of her blood reaching her children's noses.
"Mom!" Mika ran forward, trying to grab her mother's hand, but was repelled by some sort of barrier. Just as they had appeared, the two were gone.
Family Reunions Chapter 2
Mika's POV
Mika was thrown twenty feet in the air before she slammed into the trunk of Go-shinboku. Spots formed on her line of vision as she tried to stand, but she found that even with a comforting hold from the thousand year old tree she couldn't move.
Inuyasha's POV
Inuyasha stared at the place she had just stood. After 15 years of being without her, he finally had her back, only to have her stolen away again. His mind began to replay memories, painful memories of when he had made her cry, the many battles they had fought together, and her leaving.
Naraku was gone. After three years of collecting shards and fighting, he was finally gone. Miroku's kazanna disappeared, Kikyo had finally left in peace, Kohaku was back (thanks to Sesshomaru; he seemed to like humans a lot more after he got to know Rin), and the jewel was complete. Well, it was almost complete. Kouga still had two shards and Inuyasha had a feeling he was not going to give them up easily. Especially if Kagome stayed with her friends, and Inuyasha.
'Speak of the devil.' Thought Inuyasha as Kouga's whirlwind appeared.
"Kagome!" Kouga took her hands in his, and Inuyasha felt his blood begin to boil. He started growling before he even realized it.
"Let go of her, wimpy wolf." He threatened. Kouga barely even glanced at the inu-youkai he had come to call dog-turd before turning back to Kagome.
"Come on, Kagome. Let's get out of here. Now that Naraku's dead, you can be with me!" Something inside Inuyasha's stomach dropped. Kagome would go with him, because he was so nice. She had said that a lot so why wouldn't she? Then Inuyasha would have no one; he had planned to tell her how he felt after the jewel was complete.
Kagome took a deep breath and said, "Kouga, I can't go with you." The wolf did a double take and so did his rival.
"What? Why not?!" he shouted.
"Because, I made a promise." She murmured, taking her hands out of his.
"Screw promises! You're my woman; you have to come with me!"
"I told Inuyasha that I would stay by side as long as he wanted me, and I will not break that promise."
Kouga gave Inuyasha a dirty glare. "Dog-turd? You're going to stay with that poor excuse for a youkai?!"
"Yes."
The wolf youkai's head dropped, and he stepped back. "Why him and not me?"
"You have someone who loves you Kouga," Kagome sighed, "even if you don't see it now. She will stick by you no matter what, just to make you happy. She lives for that, and you should too."
Kouga stared into Kagome's eyes, understanding finally lifting the cloud from his vision. "Ayame." He whispered. The young miko stared back and gave him a small smile. "Thank you Kagome. I'll never forget you. Oh, here are my shards of the jewel. Take them and make your wish; be happy Kagome." And as quickly as he had come, the youkai was gone.
Sango, who had previously been watching over her brother along with Miroku, stood and walked over to her friend. "What are you going to wish for Kagome?"
"I haven't even put the jewel together yet Sango."
"I know. Miroku and I are going to take Kohaku back to Kaede's Village, alright?"
"Bye Sango."
"See you later Kagome!"
"Goodbye, Lady Kagome."
"Bye bye!"
Sango, Miroku, and Shippou started off down the path to the village, with Kirara and Kohaku trailing behind. Kagome turned to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, I-"
"Don't. Onegai, don't say anything." He said. The poor hanyou was already confused as to why Kagome didn't leave with Kouga, and why she said she would still stay by him.
She didn't say a word, just flung herself into his arms and started crying. "Ka-Kagome? What's wrong?"
"I'm so sorry Inuyasha! I know you don't want me around; I shouldn't have said that!" she sobbed.
"Why wouldn't I want you around?" Ignoring his last question, she looked into his eyes and cried, "Why Inuyasha? Why did Kikyo leave without you?"
"She didn't. I told her I wouldn't go with her." Inuyasha sighed. How could he tell her that he loved her when he knew she would reject him?
"Why? I thought you loved her."
"I did, once. But we were both lonely people, and she wanted me to change. You don't. That's why I-"he cleared his dry throat. "That's why I love you."
"What?" Kagome's head shot up, colliding with his, yet neither moved.
"Aishiteru, Kagome. Aishiteru." Inuyasha lowered his head and his lips gently brushed over hers, sending chills down Kagome's spine.
She tightened her hold on his haori and whispered, "We're both so stupid."
"Huh?" the hanyou tilted his head, silver locks spilling over his shoulder and mingling with his love's raven ones.
"Neither of us wanted to be rejected, or to let go of our pride and save two years of bickering. We're both idiots." She buried her head in his chest and managed to mumble, "I have loved you from the moment I met you, even if you did try to kill me."
He hadn't expected this. Inuyasha thought she would leave him forever after hearing his confession, but instead she loved him back? "Well if I remember correctly, I saved you from Mistress Centipede and that makes us even." He said, tilting his head so that his forehead touched hers.
"But if I remember right I released you from the Go-shinboku, so I win."
"Oh yeah, what do you win?"
She cocked her head in thought, shut her eyes and whispered, "You."
They didn't complete the jewel that night, or the next. Kagome had a strange feeling that something bad was going to happen if they did and everyone had learned from experience to listen to her intuition. On the third day however, a demon came looking for the jewel.
"Hand over the Shikon no tama and I will spare your pitiful lives." The ogre like youkai said, brandishing his giant club.
"Kagome, you have to purify the jewel or youkai worse than this will come!" Miroku said.
"But what if-"
"It'll be ok." Inuyasha squeezed her hand reassuringly.
But it wasn't ok. The second the jewel was complete, Kagome began to fade into the pink light the jewel was emitting. She barely cried out, "Inuyasha!" before she disappeared from the Sengoku Jidai forever.
He told her everything would be alright. He broke his promise, and in doing so lost the one person he loved most. Now she had stood here again, after fifteen years, and he lost her. Again. Why was fate so cruel?
"Hey! Uh, mister, are you ok?" A raven-haired girl with eerie lavender eyes waved a hand in front of his face, bringing Inuyasha out of the past, so to speak.
"What do you want?" he grumbled.
"Aren't you nice." The girl, who Inuyasha realized was the one who came from the well in order to save her two brothers, scoffed and continued, "How do you know my mother?"
"Do I even know your mother?" the hanyou smirked, thinking, 'What is this crazed girl talking about?
"Well you did scream her name before that creepy demon took her."
"Where's mommy?" one of her brothers asked, pulling on her pant leg.
"Not here, that's for sure." Inuyasha said.
Mika's POV
Mika diverted her eyes from her poor little brother Yasha, to look at the smirk from this hanyou with silver hair. How dare he mock her mother! She could be in danger right now and he smirked at her like she was being stupid. She'd show him, she'd-
"What's your mother's name anyway?"
"Huh?" she was jerked out of her train of thought by the hanyou. "Tell me your name and I'll tell you hers." She said.
"Feisty one, aren't cha?" sighing, he replied, "Alright, fine. Name's Inuyasha, now what's yours?"
Now it was Mika's turn to smirk. "Nice name, dog-boy. I'm Mika, and these are my brothers Inu and Yasha."
"New moon, dog, and demon. Those names are MUCH better." Inuyasha said, adding sarcasm to the 'much'. "Are you going to tell me your mother's name or not?"
Inuyasha's POV
"Our mommy's name is Kagome!" Inu and Yasha cried. They're quarter demons, Inuyasha now realized. He could smell Kagome's scent all over them, too. Two silver dog ears, still folded over, peaked out from each of their heads and they both had matching blue haoris as well as silver hair. But if the girl, Mika, was their sister, she must be youkai as well...
"Why are looking at me like that? You look like my dad in that picture mom took when she thought he wasn't...looking..." Mika said nervously. "Dad?"
Mika: Now that's what I call a cliffy!
Moo: Who are they? looks over at six shadows in jail cell
Mika: Well, in order to write my story I had to have the characters so I sorta...stole them from Rumiko...
Moo: What?
Mika: o Bye Bye! Wow, 1,826 words! A new record! Wait, make that 1,832 words...no, 1,837...1,838...
A/N: Expect the next chappie soon!
