Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha! Alright! Just don't rub it in; I'm already mad about it!
Present Day Japan, Kag-Ime Age 14
"Kaggy, why don't you come with us?" asked a tall red head with green eyes, he was wearing an 'I'm with stupid - ' T-shirt although all of his friends were significantly intelligent.
"Kurama! You now how since my mom was killed in the Feudal Era by Nuraku my dad hasn't been the same, he acts like he knows something terrible. And I have to make dinner," a teenager with silver hair, dog ears, face tattoos, and golden eyes said. She grabbed her friend Hiei, who had black hair with natural blue highlights and stood at just over five feet eleven inches, and hugged him.
"Okay, but we'll be back to pick you up for 'demon duty' tonight," Sanosuke said, holding open the gate to the shrine. The boys watched as Kag-Ime walked up to her door, turned around to wave and disappeared into the house.
"'Demon duty'? God!" Kenshin said, slapping Sanosuke upside the head as they walked off.
"He's right, what if one of the shrine's mortal visitors heard you!" Kurama agreed.
"I thought it was a funny name," Kiroku said confusedly.
"Of course the idiot would think that!" Hiei said, stealing one final look at the closed door of Kag-Ime's house before beginning his decent down the stairs in front of the shrine.
Inside the house, Kag-Ime threw her keys on the side table, put her backpack in a corner and walked into the pristine, spotless stainless steel kitchen. She pulled down the can that held the rice, put it in the rice in a pot and put the pot onto the stove.
While the rice boiled she went and worked on her AP Biology homework, once that was done she went for her AP English homework when there was a crash in the shrine.
Kag-Ime grabbed her shoes and sword, and ran outside; she went straight to the well knowing that there was no one else on the shrine, being after hours. The only person there now was either another demon or her father.
"Lord Inu-Yasha," came the voice of a small demon, "Lord Inu-Yasha, Lord Sesshomaru needs your assistance in a battle!"
"'Lord' Inu-Yasha isn't here right now; he's in the Feudal Era, so how about you go back there as well?" Kag-Ime said, brandishing her sword.
"I was sent to pick up a dog-demon in general…" he said to himself.
"What are you scheming, demon?" Kag-Ime asked.
"You're coming with me!" the small demon said, grabbing the sleeve of her sweatshirt and dragging her off.
"Hey, let go of me! My dad's going to be home soon and my friends are coming to pick me up soon after that! Let go, please… I'm not allowed to go to the Feudal Era, yeah that's it! I'm not supposed to talk to strange demons either!"
"If that were so, you wouldn't be allowed to speak to yourself!" the small demon said, laughing.
The journey to this "Lord Sesshomaru" did not really turn out to be a quick, joyous, quiet one for the acquaintances. Kag-Ime spent the whole time kicking and screaming for the pipsqueak to let her go until deciding that once he let go she would make a run for it.
Finally, the small demon let go of her arm and when she turned and began to walk away she walked straight into a demon. One who looked a bit like herself, she noticed.
"Who is this? The demon asked, shooting a disapproving look toward the small demon.
"This is… uh… a dog demon," he said, nodding his head as he finally came to the right decision.
"My name is Kag-Ime; I'm the daughter of Inu-Yasha and Kagome," Kag-Ime said looking up at the tall demon, "now, if you don't mind I shall be leaving."
"Daughter, Inu-Yasha?" the demon asked. "That means that you're my" he began, but he was interrupted when a dagger flew right by Kag-Ime's ear.
She grabbed her sword, looked around realizing that while she spoke to the demon they were being surrounded. The demon pulled one of his two swords from his side and began to attack. The small demon took a staff with two heads, jabbed it into the ground and fire emitted from one of the mouths.
Kag-Ime's sword hand was hit by a dagger and her hand began to bleed, she dropped her sword, held out her hand and chi arrows came from her hand. Before she knew what hit her, or almost hit her, chi was sent flying back towards her. She was dead.
But then InuYasha jumped in front of her, tetsusaiga bared, and he saved his daughter from an unavoidable and tragic death.
Another person picked her off of the ground, and carried her off to an area that was much safer.
He set her down and pushed her hair out of her eyes, it was Hiei, "are you okay, babe?" he asked, true fear on his face.
"Yeah, just fine," Kag-Ime replied, soon afterwards the fight ended with the power and help of InuYasha. The tall demon was then able to introduce himself properly, or more like InuYasha was able to introduce him.
"Why did you take Kag-Ime from the shrine?" he inquired.
"I sent Jakken to get you, little brother, not your daughter," the demon replied putting much stress on the word 'daughter.'
"Sesshomaru, she doesn't know!" InuYasha said, pointing his hand in the direction of Kag-Ime.
"Doesn't know what? What don't I know?" she said walking toward her father, looking in his eyes, and putting an inquisitive look on her face.
"That move that she did before you came, it showed me she wasn't truly who she thinks she is."
"Sesshomaru, please if you tell her she'll have to move here, she's got five great friends, I don't want her to loose them," InuYasha said looking at Sesshomaru pleadingly.
"Does she know that she's from the dog demon tribe of the Western lands?" Sesshomaru asked as he put his sword in its sheath.
"Tribe? What are you talking about?" Kag-Ime asked looking at Sesshomaru.
"Apparently not," he said, he then averted his eyes to InuYasha, "tell her!"
"Kag-Ime, honey, your not really… my… daughter. You're my brother's daughter, Sesshomaru's daughter. Kagome came back here and he gave you to her for your safety. Kagome lied to me and told me you were my daughter, she didn't tell me the truth until she was on her death bed. That's why I've been acting differently recently, I was trying to decide on how to tell you."
"So, your saying that all of the time that I thought I was your daughter, was truly your niece? So, my whole life, my whole family was a lie? That can't be… I won't believe you… no…no," Kag-Ime said shaking her head, she turned around; tears in her eyes looked at each of her friends, and ran off.
"Kag-Ime!" InuYasha shouted out, holding out his hand, hoping, praying that she would turn around.
"No, we'll go to her, she needs our help," Kenshin said looking at the two men. He, Kurama, Sanosuke, Kiroku, and Hiei turned and began to run after their best friend.
When they finally found her, she was sitting under a tree, tears streaming down her face.
"Kag, it's okay, at least you're not as bad off as us," Kiroku said, resting his hand on her shoulder.
"It's just that the thought that I've been lied to all of my life really annoys me," Kag-Ime said between tears, "and Inu-Yasha's right, I'm going to move here."
"You don't have to," Kenshin said as he sat down next to her and began to play with the hem of her sweatshirt sleeve.
"I don't want to live with my uncle any longer."
"But like he said, he didn't know until Kagome was dying," Sanosuke said as he began to lean on the tree.
"Whose side are you guys on?" she asked as she looked out upon the grassy plains which seemed to last forever.
"Yours, we just don't want you to ruin a perfectly great relationship with your dad, I mean uncle," Kurama said as he picked a ladybug off of his shirt and set it on a tree leaf.
"Well, I myself, am going to move her with Kag-Ime, I mean what does our time have in store for an orphan? An orphanage and possibly, just possibly a public school education," Hiei said as he looked into the eyes of each of the boys, knowing they felt the exact same way, all of the guys were orphans.
"I agree, we're like the 6 amigos, and if one of us is gone we're all done for. Kag-Ime's like the glue that keeps five friends from killing each other," Kiroku said grabbing Kag-Ime's hand, "so cheer up!"
Everyone began to hug her, and as Sanosuke began to walk towards her, he slipped on what seemed to be animal poop, and next thing he knew he was covered in a putrid smelling substance.
"Okay, I'm not hugging you!" Kag-Ime said, laughing at him.
That's good for now; next we meet one of KagIme's relatives a cousin named Yusuke!
