Family Tree
Chapter 7: Return to feudal Japan
Ayame froze, her eyes widened and she let out a gasp. A demon, in feudal Japan, which might she add she had not been to since she was four, and had now just started returning to was looking for her? What was up with that?
"Me?" Ayame said not be able to say much more.
Kagome nodded.
"Why me? I haven't been there in oh thirteen years!" Ayame said.
"We know, we found it odd to. But Shippo said it was looking for you, not Koga's Ayame but you specifically." Kagome replied to her shocked older daughter.
What could a demon want with me? Maybe I knew him or her when I was younger, but why would they attack a village just to get to me, and how in the hell would they even know I was back?
Ayame shook her head; it was all too much to comprehend now. She looked to Sora who was just staring at her with worry in her eyes.
"I'll be fine Sora." Ayame tried to reassure her.
"But you have no weapon!" Sora replied.
"I have my fists, that's all I need." Ayame said with a smirk.
Then Sora's own eyes widened.
"My weapons! I almost left without them!" She yelled and ran into the house coming back out with her bow and arrow, plus short sword.
"Here, it's a demon sword, I can't use it my spiritual powers will purify it." Sora said and handed Ayame the sword.
Ayame took it and looked at it oddly. A demon sword? She shook her head and attached to her waist. Sora finished attaching her arrows to her back and the two headed to the well with their parents behind them.
A man with orange eyes and black hair stood in the shadows of the forest, he was watching, as the villagers were searching the forest for him, since he had just attacked the village in hopes of taking the priestess's daughter Ayame. He had heard of the girls return when he sat in a tree near the wolf's den. They were stupid and didn't sense him, just as all wolfs were and they spoke of Ayame without any caution. They should have known he would have still wanted her, even after thirteen years, she would still be his.
Ayame was the last to climb through the well and out onto the other side, her mother and father ran ahead to make sure the village was okay and Ayame and Sora were supposed to meet them there. They ran as fast as they could, and when they got to the village Sora covered her mouth with a hand.
"Oh my gosh." She said and Ayame could tell she was a little upset.
"Sora, everything will be alright." Ayame said trying to reassure the young demon-girl.
Sora turned to look at her sister when she suddenly jumped for her. They both went tumbling to the ground with a loud thud and a string of cusses coming from Ayame. When Sora rolled off her sister, she was up in seconds and notching an arrow in her bow, pointing it at a man not to far ahead of them. Ayame stood and looked at their attacker. His hair was long and black and to his mid-back. His eyes glowed an almost neon orange. He wore lord's robes, and had a katana sword at his side.
"Who are you? Did you attack the village?" Sora yelled at the man.
He simply smiled and licked his fangs. His eyes wandered from Sora to Ayame, and Ayame glared right back. She knew him somehow; he was just so damn familiar to her.
"I don't want you girl, you're priestess powers hold nothing for me, I want the less human of the two daughters." He spat out.
Ayame sighed, why did he want her?
"Why? What do you want me for?" Ayame asked standing in front of Sora.
"The same reason I wanted you thirteen years ago. You see your sister there was born second so she has nothing of what I want, but if my sons come from you they will hold the greatest power of all."
"What are you talking about?" Ayame asked confusion played across her face.
"No!" Sora yelled and pushed past Ayame.
She let the arrow fly and hit the man in the side; he smirked and ran off with one last message to Ayame. "I'll come back for you."
Ayame looked as he disappeared. Then she turned to Sora who looked like she could kill anyone at the moment.
"Sora, what was he talking about? What power do I have that you don't, and why would it matter if I was born first?" Ayame asked her sister.
"He's just a nut, I don't know what he's talking about." Sora replied all to quickly.
Ayame was about to persist further when Inuyasha showed up with Kagome on his back. Kagome got off and looked at her daughters. Ayame looked at her in confusion. She knew they all knew something, something they didn't want to tell her.
"You all know why he's after me, and if you don't tell me I'll just go to him and ask him myself." Ayame said and crossed her hands over her chest.
Kagome sighed and looked to Inuyasha, who simply nodded a yes in her direction.
"Well lets get home first, you need to get changed it seems you caught yourself on something." Kagome said and pointed out a hole in her black uniform shirt that she had forgotten to change out of before they left.
"Shit." Ayame said and looked at the shirt. "And now I need a new one…"
When they got back to the hut and both Ayame and Sora had changed, Sora into a new kimono-dress that was a lot shorter then any normal one, and Ayame into a pair of blue jeans and a black tank top they were sat down in what Ayame called the living room and Kagome began to tell Ayame a story.
"You see long ago there was a jewel called the Shikon no Tama, or the Jewel of four souls. A woman named Kikyo was the protector of it." Kagome started and looked over to Inuyasha who was sitting in the corner by himself.
"Anyways, she died protecting the jewel and she decided she wanted it destroyed when she died so they burnt it with her body. However, that didn't work as planed. Five hundred years after Kikyo had died taking the jewel with her, I was born." Kagome paused to take a breath, "On my fifteenth birthday Buyo wandered into the well house, and Souta sent me into fetch him, however what I wasn't expecting was a demon to grab me and pull me into the well. This sent me back five hundred years to this era. Later, after meeting you're father I found out that I was in fact the reincarnation of Kikyo, and the jewel was inside my body."
"Okay…" Ayame said a little bored in hearing her mother's life story and a little confused in how this tied into some strange demon wanting her to be the mother of his kids.
"Well this jewel was very powerful and many demons, as well as humans sought after it. Therefore, I was now given the mission of protecting it myself. However, I didn't fully understand this prospect and it ended up shattering in the process."
Ayame turned to her father who huffed as her mother said that last sentence. Kagome shot him a nasty glare and continued with her story.
"You're father and I, as well as Shippo and two other companions went on the hunt for all the shards, in the process we fought many demons. But in the end we found all the shards and the jewel was once again completed."
"Okay so this big fancy jewel was complete again…what's that got to do with me?" Ayame asked and then was shushed by Sora.
"Not long after you're father and I we're uhh married and then I found out I was going to have you. I was so excited however while I was in my ninth month with you a very mysterious thing happened."
"What?"
"The jewel sunk into my body." Kagome admitted.
Ayame's eyes widened.
"And what happened to it?"
"Well…that's the thing, when you were born you were glowing a small pink glow. You see the jewel was in you, but it's not exactly whole anymore."
"What do you mean?" Ayame asked her eyes now twitching.
"It's flowing in you're blood stream." Inuyasha said from the corner.
Ayame looked to him and her eyes narrowed.
"So what's this mean?" Ayame asked.
"It means, that…" Kagome started.
Ayame stood; she looked at her sister who was hiding her face. Her dad who just looked at her. And her mother who was looking at her in worry.
"It means that you are the jewel…" Kagome finished.
A/N: Yay okay that took me forever to write, I really had no idea what to do…but I have actually had something like this idea in my head for about five years now. Ever since I was first introduced to Inuyasha…okay well please review, even if it's flaming me, I wouldn't mind really. At least you took the time to review…it's sad really that no one can even push the purple button to tell me how much I suck anymore…what is this country coming to? Okay anyways thanks to all of you who read it anyways. I'll update as soon as I can, but not unless I get a review or two.
