Chapter 4

Izayoi's death.

It's been another year and Inuyasha is six years old. Izayoi is deathly ill and Shika is out trying to find a cure. The young hanyou is sitting next to his mother's bed crying. Izayoi weakly said "Don't cry Inuyasha. If I die you still have your sister." Inuyasha kept crying and said "I know but I'll miss you." The young woman reached up and rubbed his ears. Inuyasha lightly whimpered and laid down. Two hours later the young hanyou is asleep. Outside the villagers are getting ready to chase Inuyasha away. They are going wait till morning to chase him away. In the morning when Inuyasha woke he went outside.

There waiting outside are the villagers. They have pitchforks and torches. The villagers glared at Inuyasha and said "You are out of here half breed." Inuyasha went to run inside but a villager blocked his way. The villager said "You can't go in there your mother is dead." Then the villagers started to chase Inuyasha. As the young hanyou ran he yelled "Help me sister!" Not far away Shika heard her brother. The villagers are closing in on Inuyasha. When Shika appeared and picked up her brother. As she ran Shika asked "Why where those villagers chasing you?" Inuyasha started to cry and said "Because Mother died and you weren't there to protect me."

The young demoness sighed and said "I'm sorry Inuyasha." Inuyasha said "It's ok you were trying to help Mother." Shika nodded and said "Hold on tight we are going to the edge of the eastern lands." With that said Shika transformed into a huge platinum silver dog. Inuyasha is surprised by his sister's transformation. He yelped and said "I didn't know you could do that." The young demoness nodded and said "Sure I can all full blooded demons can."

Feeling safe on his sister's fury back. Inuyasha curled up in Shika's fur and fell asleep. Soon Shika arrived where Tokyo is today. It's afternoon and she knew Inuyasha would wake and want something to eat. SO she untransformed and tried to find a place to live. Luckily she found an empty hut. The young demoness laid her brother in the hut. Then she went out hunting. Not long after she left Inuyasha woke up. He sat up and looked around for his sister. The young hanyou didn't see his sister. He know to stay put when Shika isn't around. An hour later Shika returned with fish, berries and hay for a bed.

Luckily there is a pile of fire wood to use. As the fish cooked the two demons ate the berries. After the fish was done cooking they ate the fish Shika and Inuyasha went to bed. In the morning the young hanyou up first. he laid there watching his sister sleep. Inuyasha smiled and said to himself "I hope Shika will always stay with me." Just then Shika woke up. She smiled when she saw that Inuyasha is awake. Inuyasha asked "Shika will you always stay with me?" The young demoness sighed and said "I'll stay with you until. You're old enough to be on your own." Inuyasha whined and said "Please always stay with me."

Shika smiled and said "Ok I'll stay with you until. You're old enough to be on your own. Then I'll watch over you." The young hanyou nodded then got out of bed. Then Shika got up and left to go find food. Ninety-four years have passed and Inuyasha is one hundred years old. And Shika who now watches over Inuyasha is four hundred years old. Inuyasha is 5'6'' and his hair is down to his lower back. The hanyou is on his own but is watched over by his sister. Since Shika watches over her brother she doesn't have time to find a mate. But she didn't seem to mind. Ever since Inutaishou died Shika hasn't seen Sesshomaru.

But she heard that he is lord of the west. And she's heard that Sesshomaru has turned cold. Shika is disappointed that her brother hates humans and is cold. So she stays in the eastern lands. Both Shika and Inuyasha Izayoi's grave. Izayoi's grave is under a big tree near a lake. Inuyasha leaves blue flowers. And Shika leaves pink flowers.
