Disclaimer: Everywhere I look it keeps telling me that Kagome is 15 but that doesn't make sense the first episode was her birthday and she wasn't in high school yet which means she was in 8th grade and in 8th grade you turn 14 not 15 so I don't care what the internet says I'm saying that she started out fourteen and just like me she does not own Inuyasha XD.

Chapter 8:

Origins

"Seeya guys, I'm off to school," Kanojo yelled to "her parents" as she headed for the front door.

"Kanojo wait, we need to talk," the male demon Otosan told the "teenager" who now disheartenedly turned around afraid of what he wanted to know.

"What do you need?" Kanojo asked as she joined him and his mate Erisa at the breakfast table.

"It's just you've been gone a lot recently and I'm worried. Tell me honestly have you been seeing someone recently," the demon asked the surprised girl.

"Of course not, I've learned my lesson," Kanojo answered with false fury as she avoided her friend's gaze.

"I'm sorry, I just don't want you to get hurt again, you're like a sister to me," Otosan told her with a smile, "which is why I hope that if their really is a guy that you can trust me enough to tell me the truth."

Kanojo held back tears as she looked at the demon who was now sipping his morning coffee, "I really have to go, I'll see you later, ok?" the demon mumbled then headed back toward the door.

"Do you think she's lying?" Erisa asked her mate after hearing the door slam.

"Unfortunately yes," Otosan replied as he put down his coffee mug, "her clothes reek of the scent of a male." The scent it seems so familiar to him but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't seem to remember where he had smelt it before.

"I should have known, just the other day I overheard Kanojo whistling show tunes," she giggled then changed to a more serious tone, "So what do you plan on doing?"

"I was thinking I should confront the boy personally and have a little "father" to boyfriend chat," the wolf demon smirked then took a large bite into the slices of bacon that were on his fork.


Later That Afternoon

"Kanojo guess what?" Miruto remarked as he ran over to the girl.

"Hey Miruto aren't you supposed to be in detention today?" Kanojo inquired as she turned around to see her boyfriend.

"That's the good news; we had a substitute for Mr. Kishimoto's class today, I'm free this afternoon, so what do you wanna do with my new found free time?" the elemental asked as moved closer with a smile on his face.

"Wanna go back to your place. I'm sure we'll have a great time. Just the two of us," Kanojo answered in a flirtatious manner then kissed him on the lips.

Otosan couldn't believe what he had just heard and seen, he decided it was time to break up this moment, "Kanojo what do you think you're doing?" the demon yelled as he emerged from his hiding spot.

"'Dad' what are you doing here?" Kanojo asked as she backed away from Miruto.

"I've got a better question, why have you been lying to me about where you were going and who you were with." the man fumed then bared his teeth.

"Well technically I didn't I told you I was at a friend's house. Miruto's my friend and we happened to be at his house," the girl told him awkwardly and could clearly see that her comment wasn't helping.

"Listen Sir maybe I should explain you see…" Miruto stated but was soon cut off by his girlfriend's "father".

"You would be wise to stay quite," Otosan snapped as he got up in the "teenager's" face but the caught a stronger whiff of the scent that was on Kanojo's clothes.

"'Dad' what are you doing!" Kanojo exclaimed as she watched her friend sniff her now weirded out boyfriend.

"Kanojo stand back. This boy isn't who he says he is," Otosan told his friend then pushed her out of the way, "He's a power demon named Naraku, he killed my clan."

"I'm sorry Miruto, you'll have to excuse my father he's just got back from the mental institution," Kanojo said awkwardly as she walked back toward Miruto but was surprised when she saw a disturbing grin on his face.

"I guess I can safely assume that you're both demon's as well, well sir I can tell you your half right, I'm not Naraku but I was created by him," Miruto told Otosan confidently as he pulled back his hair to reveal a pair of pointed ears. All of a sudden Kanojo felt a powerful demonic aura surround him as he took a battle stance.

"I could care less, you still worked for the demon that had my brothers slaughtered and now I shall take my revenge," the enraged wolf demon said as he charged toward the water elemental.

"Quite frankly I despised my creator as much as anyone but if it's a fight you wan I'll be pleased to comply," Miruto smirked then held out his hand, "Purifying water."

Otosan closed his eyes and braced himself for the attack, 'If this is the end at least I know I'll have died for what I believe in,' the demon thought then opened his eyes to see the shadow demon Kanojo putting up a dark barrier in front of him.

"Miruto please spare Otosan, he just a very over protective and jumps to conclusion," she pleaded with the incarnate who gave her a slow nod, "and Otosan, please just trust me, I know Miruto's a good person and you can't hold him responsible for another demon's deed (of course that demon was truly Kagura but they don't know that)."

"Hmph fine but I'm keeping an eye on him," the demon replied in a manner that reminded Miruto of Inuyasha, then walked away."

"I guess we have a lot to talk about," Kanojo said awkwardly as she turned to her boyfriend.

"Yeah I guess we do, though not here, we're lucky no one saw what just happened," Miruto affirmed as he grabbed her hand and the two disappeared.

"Where are we?" the female demon asked as she looked around at the rubble surrounding her.

"The school roof, I figured we'd alone," he said then walked over to the ledge and swung his legs over it, "Come join me, the view is awesome."

"So Miruto, who is this Naraku guy anyway?" Kanojo asked as her legs dangled in the air.

"Hm it's a long story but you see Naraku was the evil demon who created me about five hundred years ago he came close to taking over all of Japan," the elemental sighed.

"By created do you mean like out of clay?" she inquired putting her hand to her chin.

"No actually I was created from the water and my creator's flesh. I don't remember to much anymore but I remember that it was cold and Naraku he called me something, I think it was something like his conscience," Miruto told her as he strained to remember the event.

"What do you mean cold? Was it snowing?" Kanojo delved.

"No I woke up in the bank of a river in the beginning of spring, I think anyone would be cold and of course it didn't help that I was butt-naked," Miruto laughed up at the sky then looked back at his companion, "So Kanojo what's your story, how did you meet that demon who's pretending to be your father?"

"Well it goes back about four hundred and fifty years ago. You see like you, I was created but out of clay by an old witch by the name of Junna. She as getting on in years and so created a younger body within her own image which she was planning to transfer her own soul into. But before she got the chance she was attacked by a shadow demon named Kanojo. Junna feared she would be killed and in an attempt to save her own life she sealed the demon within the body she created for herself and unintentionally created me, a demon. I remember waking up with no memories of what had happened but was attacked with a broom by the grouchy witch but she soon realized I had no idea what was going on. She decided to raise me like her own daughter and named me after the demon who spurred my creation. I became quite attached to the woman but a year later she… she," Kanojo whimpered and rested her head against Miruto's shoulder, "she died. I was left all alone on the mountain with no one to care for me and I ran away from the hut because it was just filled with to many memories. I found a cave that I thought was abandoned and stayed there a few days sulking but a few days later Otosan, owner of the cavern, returned and demanded to know what I was doing in his home. I told him of Junna's death and I suppose he took pity on me and took me in. Since then we've been great friend even if he is a little over protective."

"Yeah I noticed that. Why is he so against you dating anyway?" Miruto asked trying to change to a cheerier subject.

"Because I asked him to. About seventy years ago it was the first time I stayed in the human world and I made the mistake of falling for a human. I was ready to stay with him till the day he died but the truth is I wanted to know if he truly loved me so I told him that I was a demon. He began cursing at me, he called me a monster, since then I've made sure not to let another human close to me again," the demon told him as her tears drenched his shirtsleeve.

"I'm sorry I know what it feels like to be hurt," the elemental said as he wrapped his arms around his girlfriend.

"Well enough about me, so how did you meet Kagome?" She asked and put on a forced smile.

"This may take awhile but I guess we have time since I don't have detention," Miruto smirked as he looked into the girl's violet eyes.


Meanwhile at the Hospital

"I'm glad to tell you your 'nephew' has made a full recovery, he's quite lucky," the doctor grinned as he informed Mrs. Higurashi.

"Yes he's quite fortunate," the woman meekly replied.

"Especially considering I'm only trained to treat humans," the doctor said as Ruri's eyes widened, "you're surprised I know about demons. It a well kept secret of the government's for whom I used to work for. How do you think that the demon's can falsify our documents so well?"

"I never really thought about it," Mrs. Higurashi awkwardly admitted.

"I'll be releasing him into your custody and don't worry your secret's safe with me," the man told her as he started walking away but then turned back around, "There's just the matter of payment. Does he have any insurance?"

"Oh yes, I believe I have his insurance card in here somewhere," She said as she rummaged through her purse. After five minutes of searching she removed a plastic card from her bag then handed it over, "Here you go."
