Inuyasha: Out of the Darkness

Ch.11: Makita, Inuyasha, and Evils New Apprentice

He had taken Makida away from Ayame and left. He hoped he would never have to confront her again. In fear of her coming to close. He had wondered why Shesshomaru had given up so easily, but he didn't care as long as Makida wasn't hurt. But what he wanted to do more than ever was to keep her secret from Naraku, which he was really good at. He had keep himself out of trouble as well.

It was about two years later, Makida was growing very fast and was already talking, and she could talk really well. She picked up on almost everything very quickly and was very close to her father. He had put his hair in a braid and tried to look somewhat human-like. He had worn a hat the day (hat as in what they had back then) hoping when he got to the village no one would recognize him. He was pretty good at acting human and soon found himself and Makida waling through the village streets with almost no one paying any mind to him or his daughter.

They all headed to the spot where his mother had died and was buried. Makida didn't know that her grandma was dead, but obviously knew her mom was. They had gotten about half way, when they were met by an elder. He was a short man who looked about 50. He slowly walked by them he turned around only to smile and keep walking.

Makida: Daddy, where are we?

Inuyasha: We're in the village I was born at. I just wanted to come back and see it.

Makida: Are you alright? You look in pain, daddy.

Inuyasha: Yeah it's just, I have a lot of bad and good memories in this place. And this is the place where grandma was killed, a long, long time ago.

Makida: (looks at a strange woman) Daddy, who's that? The woman with the hood on her head.

Inuyasha: I don't know, but…

Elder: (comes back) Hi there. Are you two lost or looking for something?

Inuyasha: No, we're just wondering who that young lady is.

Elder: Well, lets see… Ah yes, that's Kemaghro. She came here about a year ago and has lived here ever since.

Inuyasha: (sniffs the air and sneezes) Feh, she smells like Naraku. She must be one of his dirty little incarnations.

Kemaghro: How very observant of you. You're Inuyasha, yes?

Inuyasha: Yeah, that's me. Are you here to kill me or just one of Naraku's little message bearers.

Kemaghro: No, I have no need to kill you and I'm not a messenger, and never will be. And what's this? You must be little Makida, I've heard about you in the after world. Naraku never told me about you though, I guess he's too slow.

Inuyasha: One, how did you know my daughter and two, you'd better keep this to yourself or you'll get it. Understand?

Kemaghro: Don't worry, I have no intension of telling Naraku. I don't want her to go parentless like you did.

Inuyasha: How did you know that! Just what kind of stunt are you pulling here! And if you're a part of Naraku, why are you so sincere towards me? Why don't you kill me?

Kemaghro: If I told you, there would be no point in having you find out for yourself. And to me that take all the fun away. Don't worry you'll find out soon enough. Maybe even sooner that you think Inuyasha, dear. (she walks way)
Makida: Daddy, what was that all about?
Inuyasha: I don't know yet, but I'll find out. Now come on we have to find a place to sleep for the night.

Makida: Ok.

Inuyasha found what was his mother's palace. He was surprised they had rebuilt it. It looked just the same as it was when he was a child. Another royal family had taken over the property while he was gone. Since everyone thought he dead, they sold the land to someone else. He walked up to the door and knocked.

Lord: Yes and you are who?

Inuyasha: I am Inuyasha, a price of the dog demon clan of the west.

Lord: You're a demon!

Inuyasha: No. I'm a half-demon. I do believe this is the place that was once owned by Princess Iziouy (don't know how to spell name). Or do I have the wrong place?

Lord: Yes, this place was once owned by a Princess Iziouy. Why do you ask? And why did you come here in the first place.

Inuyasha: I came here to see my mother's grave. But it seems you built you house over it.

Lord: I'm sorry about that… Wait, your mother you said? But Princess Iziouy was the first and last person to own this property. And besides her son is dead… What was your name again?
Inuyasha: (sigh) Inuyasha. Now, am I allowed to enter, or are you going to bombard me with more questions? Take your time on that one.

Lord: (thinks) You're! You're him, you're Inuyasha!

Inuyasha: Yes, now may I pass so my daughter and I may get some sleep, kind lord?

Lord: (gulps) Sure, sorry about the sudden outburst. So you really own this place, so why didn't you ever come back?
Inuyasha: Long story, and I don't have time to tell.

He lets Inuyasha inside and gives him his own private room for the night. He and Makida quickly made the room look like a home to them. They both got out their blankets and tried to go to sleep. They couldn't, they were to mystified by the strange woman they met that day. Inuyasha gave out a small smile at the thought of how much she was like Kagome. Then he remembered all he saw that day and they days about a year ago. The black shadow that followed them everywhere. 'Could that have been the same person?' he thought. Then he heard Makida start to cough. He didn't think about it for a while but she wouldn't stop. She soon was coughing up blood, and Inuyasha almost panicked. He picked up the small girl and tried everything he knew to get her to calm down. Then Kemaghro walks in.

Inuyasha: What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy, I have no time for you.

Kemaghro: I'm here to help. I brought a special herb, I could smell the blood from a mile away. But it looks like you don't need me, so I'll be going.

Inuyasha: (sigh) Ok. I do need help. I don't know what's happening to her. I'll take your help, but you can't go, please?

Kemaghro: Since you're a parent in desperate need of help, I'll do it for the child. But, there's a twist. If you promise not to freak out or tell Naraku what you know about me, I'll show you who I am. But like my promise to you, if you tell Naraku, you're a dead man. Got it?
Inuyasha: Alright. Just help her first will ya?
Kemaghro: Yes, she gets the attention first. Let me see her.

Inuyasha hands Makida to Kemaghro and she gives her the herb she needed. She quickly gave her back to Inuyasha as the little girl fell asleep in her arms. As she had told Inuyasha, she showed him who she was. She was a small girl (short that is) with long black hair, and small dog-ears on her head. He examined her even more closely and saw it was Kagome. He almost passed out at the sight of what was his bride to be. Only this time, she was a part of Naraku. She stayed by his side all night and helped sooth the pain of how she was alive and now Naraku's incarnation. She told him that he used her to intimidate him so he wouldn't fight and so he couldn't attack Naraku. And so they stayed until the next morning when they planned on how they will be able to do the things she needed to do without being caught. But it was to be final when she got back to Naraku's castle and talked with him.

End

Author: Poor Kagome. I hope she gets set free from that evil bastard. Oh wait, that's for me to decide. Find out how Naraku will take her plans that she made very carefully. And will she be able to stay with Inuyasha? Who knows! Anyway find out. BTW, Kagome being a half dog-demon was my brother's idea, so some of him is in this story too. I know, I'm a asshole on some things, but it's the only way I could think of Kagome coming back. Or never being dead, however you want to put it.
