Chapter 15

Day Two: Purification

"Yamatoo?" Sesshomaru said to him in their kitchen. Rin had gone upstairs to bed already.

"Yes father?" he said to him while making a sandwich.

"Did you talk to Kikyko?" he said again and watched his son as he cut off the edges of the sandwich.

"Yes I did…" Yamatoo replied quickly. He put the sandwich on a tray with a glass of milk. He made a snack for Rin because she was hungry. And every night she always has a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk and orange slices.

"…and?" Sesshomaru asked him and crossed his arms. He picked up the tray and came around the kitchen island.

"She didn't feel the same way about me," he said to his father, he followed the hallway to the stairs. Sesshomaru quickly stopped him by coming around him blocking him.

"I'm sorry Yamatoo that Kikyko didn't return your feelings," he said to him.

"Thing is…she's in love with that disgusting panther boy," Yamatoo said again.

"He's not good for her, she'll realize this and when she does…" Sesshomaru said to his son. Yamatoo sighed and looked at him, Sesshomaru took the tray from him.

"Get some rest, we are helping your uncle and Miroku with the garden decorating tomorrow," he said to him.

"Good night then," Yamatoo said coming around his father.

Sesshomaru turned to his son, he followed him upstairs as Yamatoo went to his room, Sesshomaru went to theirs.

"Oh thank you," Rin said in bed. He came over to her and put the tray on her lap. She smiled and looked at him and then to the tray.

"Eat you need it!" he said sitting down on the bed next to her. Rin tapped her hand to Sesshomaru's face and smiled, she picked up an orange slice and ate it.

Yamatoo took off his tie and his shirt and threw them to the chair at his desk, he reached for his cell phone from his pant pocket and searched for Kikyko's number.

"Good night Kikyko, I hope you can understand my feelings. Even though you may not accept them, I will always accept you, and I think tonight you looked like a beautiful princess sent from the heavens…." He wrote to her. He looked at the message before he sent it.

"No… I can't send this," he said to himself.

"I can't keep chasing her….I'll keep my distance," he said and saved the message. He didn't send it.

"I just hope you realize…he's not good for you Kikyko," Yamatoo said and threw himself to his bed. He pulled his arm over his face.


"AAAAAHHHH," Kikyko's voice screamed from her room.

"For the love of god what is it now…" I said in bed. Kagome sighed deeply and sat up, she slid off her robe and slid out of bed.

"Training again…." She said and sighed. She dragged herself to the closet, I sighed and sat up.

"AAAAH HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?" Kikyko shouted again.

"What the hell are you shouting about, people are trying to sleep its bloody 7am Kikyko?" Inuko said coming into her room. He knocked on her bathroom door.

"DON'T COME IN HERE!" she shouted at him.

"What is she shouting about now?" I said coming in behind him. He looked at me and shook his head.

"Oi, Kikyko open this door…" I shouted at her.

"NO DON'T COME IN HERE, I'M…I'M NOT DRESSED," she stuttered out. I narrowed my eyes and grunted. I sniffed the air, her scent is still the same, that's no different. What is she possibly doing in there?

"How did this happen…" I heard her say again.

"What happened will you come out here?" I said again knocking on her door. I heard her go silent and she slightly opened the door.

"What is wrong with you sis I'm trying to sleep…." Hoshiki came into her room rubbing his eyes.

"My hair…" she said peering through the side of the door. I rolled my eyes and pushed her door open.

"Come out here," I said to her. She stepped around the door and came out.

"What….the hell is that?" Inuko said pointing to the white thick strands of hair on her head.

"Your hair…. Is turning white?" I said touching her head. I pulled at the strand of hair, it is turning white, how strange is this. Her hair turning white just like that, why? What is causing this?

"How did this happen?" I said looking at her. She held her eyes to the floor and said nothing. I lifted her face to me.

"Do you know how this happened?" I asked her. She shook her head, then her eyes filled with tears.

"Woah sis…" Hoshiki said looking at her, Kikyko held her hands to her face and started to cry.

"Great, this thing whatever it is, it's moving fast…. we have to stop it," I said to her brothers. Inuko looked at me worried. He touched Kikyko's head.

"Hey, let's make breakfast, you have training today…. I'm sure that will help you," Inuko said to her. Kikyko shook her head. He pulled her to him and hugged her.

"Hmmm come on," he said pulling her out of the room. Hoshiki followed them.

Kagome came into her room as they were leaving with Makoto in her arms. She looked over the kids as if to inspect them, she didn't notice Kikyko's white hair yet. I'm now really beginning to worry.

"What happened?" she said to me.

"We need to rethink this, she's changing…her hairs turning white Kagome, I don't know how much longer she can stay like this," I said to her worried. Kagome looked at me and rubbed Makoto's back as she slept on her mother's shoulder.

As we were coming down the stairs, Inuko was with Kikyko in the kitchen, Hoshiki had followed them. They managed to calm her down enough to make breakfast, as soon we came through the hall to the kitchen Kagome's phone rang.

"Huh oh shoot!" she said trying to balance Makoto and reach into her hakama for her phone, she tapped my shoulder. I turned to her and took Mako from her.

"Whew!" she said finding her phone, she answered it.

"Hello?" Kagome said on the phone.

"Kagome, its Kenta's father…." He sounded panicked and worried.

"Oh hello," Kagome said cheerfully.

"I need to speak to you and your husband; this is a serious matter…." He said to her. Kagome looked at me as I brought Makoto to the highchair in the kitchen.

"One moment," she said to him.

"InuYasha it's Kenta father, he says its urgent!" Kagome said to me holding the phone away from her.

I looked to the kids and came around the island, I followed Kagome to the dining room. She slid opened the doors, I closed them behind me. She put her phone on speaker phone.

"Hi sorry we're both here," she said to his father.

"InuYasha, Kagome tell me has something changed with Kikyko today?" he said his voice distraught.

"Yeah, her hair why?" I said curious.

"I figured, the strand of hair I took from Kikyko last night at the party…I ran tests on it, she was poisoned by a substance that will endanger her life. She'll go through three phases, memory loss, change in appearance, her hair, her claws, third phase….. a full-fledged demon," he said quickly to us.

"Wait, wait hang on here what are you saying?" I said worried. I looked at Kagome, she looked at me worried.

"I can't reverse this poison or slow it down, whatever those panthers did, they were smart about it. The vile that was given to her, suppressed her spiritual powers so that it cannot combat her demonic power, Kikyko is a half demon, but her spiritual powers suppress her demonic form. This is why she was born a human instead of a half-demon, without her spiritual powers she's a half demon, and if she gets to phase three a full fledge demon, her blood will drastically change, and her life will be in grave danger…" he said again quickly.

Kagome held her hand to her mouth and gasped. I touched her shoulder.

"So there's no fixing this? What happens after phase three… if she turns into this demon then what?" I said to him quickly. This terrified me, when I changed to a full demon I couldn't control it, I knew no one and only had the urge to kill. Tetsusaiga controls my demonic power, if this happens to Kikyko….nothing will stop it.

"There is a way to stop this, Kikyko…she needs to go through her training, and she needs to be the one to suppress her demonic form, she is the only one who can do this. Let's just say if Kikyko does change into a demon, she'll go on a killing spree, nothing will stop her…her blood will take over her body and it will kill her." He said straight out, we heard him sigh deeply. He was chatting with Jinenji.

"W-what? What can I do to help her, how can I help her...?" Kagome stuttered out her words. I pulled her to me, I knew this was upsetting her and I didn't want her to break from this news.

"Kagome…help her however you can, training get her mind focused on only her spiritual power, they are locked somewhere within her, or in her prayer beads….she has to find that strength again, you and Miroku are the only ones who can save her from changing…" he said again. Kagome let out a deep breath.

"Do you know how long it will take her before she gets to this third phase?" I said to him again.

"I don't know, if her hair has changed already within just two days, then I can't really say…something or someone is stopping her from believing in herself, and in her own power. She could possibly be holding herself back, do not allow that to happen. Jinenji can give her an herbal treatment, but it won't work right now, it'll have to be given to her when she's in her human state. It'll prevent any poison or other substances from entering her body and endangering her life again," he said again to us.

"Thank you, tell Jinenji for me… she has purification training today," Kagome started to say.

"Good however change the tactic, tell Miroku everything I told you, he will know what to do. She must not allow her demonic form to take over her being, whatever or whoever is convincing her she needs to stay like this, is affecting her mentally and spiritually. She needs to believe in herself again…" he said again to us.

"Take care both of you, take care of her and make sure she believes in herself and her own power." Kenta's father said to us.

"Thank you for this information," Kagome said to him. She hung up and turned to me.

"Great!" I said to her. She sighed deeply and let out a deep breath.

"She can't see you upset Kagome, tell Miroku what Kenta's father said….we need to help her remember who she really is," I said touching Kagome's arms. She sighed again.

"We need to tell her, she needs to know about this..." Kagome said to me. I shook my head at her.

"No, if she knows about this, she'll start thinking about it too much and it'll make things that much worse Kagome, she'll worry and she won't be able to concentrate," I said to her. She touched her face and let out a deep breath.

"Keep yourself calm around her, don't let her see your upset, or that your panicked or worried…go on with her training, keep at it. Don't stop just keep reminding her of her training and her spiritual powers, she will find it within her again," I said to her. I couldn't figure out what to say or how to fix this and make Kagome feel better.

This news was the last I needed this morning, it's bad enough she will be training at the waterfalls today, an intense purification session that she may not even give her all to. Kikyko always hated the second part of training, she always complained, and they never go through the entire process with her, she quiets halfway. This is why she never completed her miko training or graduated, a miko has to go through rigorous training and intense mental and physical training, Kikyko just gave up on her second lesson and never finished her training. This disappointed Kagome, she really believed Kikyko would surpass her and become a powerful miko. This time, she can't quite no matter what.

"When she was 11 doing the purification training, she gave up halfway because it was too hard for her, what if she does the same today…she needs to go through the whole process," Kagome said to me.

I looked at her and touched her face with my hands, "I'll talk to her about that, and you and Miroku need to push her Kagome, don't go soft on her…" I said to her. She touched her hands to mine. She nodded to me. I softly kissed her on the lips.

"Miroku just got here…." I said to her picking up his scent.

"We need to tell him of this," Kagome said to me. I nodded and opened the dining room door.

"Oh hey, good morning," he said to me as I came out the door. I gestured with my hand for him to come over to us.

"Huh? InuYasha what is it?" Miroku said coming towards me.

"Oh, good morning everyone," Sango said in the kitchen.

"We need to talk…" I said to him, he looked at me and Kagome who was still in the dining room. He followed me in, and I closed the door behind us. Kagome and I started telling him about what Kenta's father had told us just now.

"What how is this even possible? I mean I saw the white strip in her hair but turning into a full-fledged demon…" Miroku said worried.

"Yes, he said her spiritual power suppress her demonic form, even though Kikyko is a half demon and wasn't born that way, is because her spiritual power stops her demonic form from taking over," I said to him crossing my arms.

"What…..then she must do her training, she must withstand this second part of the training, she's never gone through the entire process…" Miroku said understanding the severity of this and how important it is for her to return to normal again.

"Exactly, so how do we make sure she doesn't fail with this and keep going…." Kagome said to him.

"Make it rewarding give her something she wants if she withstands this entire process…." Miroku said thinking.

"She's always wanted to learn to ride her father's motorbike," Kagome said thinking, I looked at her and narrowed my eyes. Why would she even suggest that!

"NO, nope to dangerous no…stupid idea!" I said shaking my head.

"InuYasha we need to keep her focused on something, anything that doesn't involve how she looks or that strip of white hair, you know how much pride Kikyko takes in her looks. She's going to obsess over that strip in her hair and her concentration will break," Miroku said to me. I grunted and looked at Kagome.

"InuYasha you can be with her and teach her, and ride with her...she's always wanted to ride on your motorbike, the boys have…why can't she?" Kagome said looking at me. I sighed deeply.

"Grrr, it's too bloody dangerous," I said to them again and grunted.

"InuYasha, you trust me, right? Kikyko needs to devote 100 percent to today's training, yesterday she did her best I knew it wasn't her all, but she did her best….today she can't just do her best, she has to give her entire being to this," Miroku said touching my shoulder.

"FINE!" I said agitated. I always road my motorbike fast and took the boys on it as well fast… with Kikyko I can't do that!

"Then let's go talk to her…let's get her training started," Miroku said to us. Kagome nodded and followed behind him as he slid opened the door. I sighed deeply and touched my face shaking my head.

"This better work," I said to myself and followed them.


"Kikyko sweetheart, don't worry about the white strip in your hair… I'm sure it'll go away," Sango said to her as Kikyko was worrying over it, she was obsessing over the strip just like Miroku said.

"But look at it, my hair is black, its black…." She sighed looking at herself in the hallway mirror. I came towards her and pulled my arm around her waist.

"Stop obsessing over your hair, your beautiful Kikyko, your aunt's right it'll go away on its own," I said pulling her away from the mirror. She looked at me as I pulled her to the kitchen.

"Are you sure?" she said her tone was quiet.

"Yes yes I'm sure, it's probably just a reaction to your changing appearance that's all," I said to her. She looked as if she was thinking and then sighed.

"Okay," she said and came towards her brother's again.

"Besides Kikyko we can always dye it black," Hakura said smiling at her. Inuko looked at Hakura and shook his head at her. Hakura smiled and tapped his nose.

"Stupid…" he said to her. She laughed at him and turned her eyes to Kikyko again. Kikyko looked at them and rolled her eyes.

"I didn't even think of dying it black," Kikyko said to her, Kira smiled and touched her head. While the kids where conversing, I thought about what Miroku had said in the next room. Maybe, just maybe if I do tell her I'll teach her to ride my bike, she will put her all in today's training.

"Hoshiki, Makoto…how about we go shopping today? I need to pick up some things and get new clothes for the boys," Sango said to them. Hoshiki looked at her and smiled, when Sango usually takes out kids out, they end up spoiled and with so many clothes. I mean heck we've done the same to her kids, but my kids…end up overly spoiled. I shook my head at this.

"He's grounded do not spoil him Sango," I said to her crossing my arms. She glared at me and said nothing.

"Ignore your father," she said to Hoshiki, he smiled at Sango and nodded. The boys high fived eachother.

"Well Kira and I have to get a few things done today with Hitomi and Rika, good luck on your training Kikyko give it your 100 percent," Hakura said to her. Kikyko held an apple to her mouth and looked at Hakura.

"Yeah I have to head out too, Kenta and Reno are helping me and Shippou today, getting some final stuff finalized," Inuko said to us. Hakura looked at hm and laughed, he had food in his mouth, and he mumbled his words. He looked at her and swirled his chopsticks in the bowl of noodles, he picked up noodles and ate them slurping. Hakura laughed at his stupidity. I rolled my eyes and shook my head, and he's getting married, I feel so bad for Hakura.

"I'll do my best, I hate purification…." Kikyko said to her. Hakura and Kira kissed her on the forehead and turned to their parents. Hakura was still laughing at Inuko, he chuckled and followed her, he was still slurping his noodles behind her. I really want to throw something at him and tell him to grow up but I can't do that anymore. I really hope Hakura will turn around and hit him.

"Be careful girls, have a good day…" Sango said to them, Miroku hugged them then they left through the hallway. Inuko followed them.

"Seriously Inuko grow up," Hakura said laughing. He chuckled and I heard him slurp again. Great!

"Kikyko…let's get your training started, shall we?" Miroku said to her. Kikyko sighed and bit into her apple, she came around the counter to her mother.

"Well we are heading out, I know your purification will take two hours, I'll come back by then," Sango said to us, she picked up Makoto and the boys followed her as she too headed to the door.

"Bye sis do your best today," Hoshiki shouted at the front door, then we heard the door slam behind him.

"Kikyko I have a great idea," Kagome said cheerfully, Kikyko looked at her curious.

"How about your father teaches you to ride his mother bike…. however, you must give 110 percent today and concentrate real hard okay," Kagome said looking at her. Kikyko pulled the apple from her mouth and looked at her.

"Dad's Harley?" she said to us.

"Yup," I said to her. I'm already beginning to regret this.

"Really? I've always wanted to, and dad always says no," Kikyko said to us.

"Well give it your all today…you must give your mind, body and entire being to this purification process Kikyko," Miroku said to her. She looked at all of us.

"This is a joke, right?" she said biting into her apple again.

"Nope your 14 I think your old enough to learn to ride, not alone of course, but you can ride with me and control the bike yourself…but I want you to train extra hard today Kikyko, okay…" I said coming towards her. I bent forward to her and touched her chin. She looked at me.

"Seriously?" she said again. I nodded.

"Pinky swear!" I said to her. She held up her pinkie to me, Kagome pressed her lips together trying not to laugh, I turned my eyes to her and locked my pinkie with Kikyko.

"No backsies!" she said to me. I tapped her cheek and smiled. I hate it when she says that!
"Great so let's get this training started..." Miroku said to us. Kikyko looked at me, she smiled then bit into her apple and followed Miroku to the door.

"I think I made a mistake suggesting the bike," Kagome said near me. I touched her head.

"Damn right!" I said to her. She scowled at me and turned.

"Go do what you're going to do today….we have our date night tonight don't forget pup, I bought something extra special for tonight," she said to me. I rolled my eyes. Yeah like I'd forget that, she made me get one of those love hotels and make reservations at a very expensive demon owned restaurant. Like hell I'm going to forget, I better get something in return for this.

"Bye love you," she said running to the door. I sighed and waved at her as the door closed behind them.

"Great!" I said and looked around the house. Well today I was supposed to go with Sesshomaru and Yamatoo to get the Camaro ready for the wedding and prepare the yard, but Rin isn't feeling to well so he's staying at home with her.

"Maybe I'll go to the gym and work out," I said to myself. We have a huge work out gym in the basement, however today…I decided to go to the half demon/demon gym that was set up by a man at our village, his job was building homes and buildings. He built the school in our village that our children attended before it was burnt down, he was a badger demon and his entire family built the gym in Tokyo. I grabbed my keys from the bowl on our counter and threw them in to the air.


"The waterfall…" Kikyko sighed in the back seat. This part of the training involved intense mental concentration, while your body is submerged in the falls freezing cold water. The body when it freezes releases its own heat source to keep the inner core regulated, that's why miko's train for two hours in this process and no longer.

"Yes Kikyko, and we've done this three times already…each time you never go through with it and quite half way," Kagome said to her sternly.

"I know mother, it's so cold…" she said looking at the waterfall as Miroku parked the car in the secluded area. Monk Mishu was already there waiting for them.

"The cold is only in your mind Kikyko, you must withstand the entire two-hour process…" Miroku said to her, she sighed and looked at Mishu as he came to her door. He opened it, Kikyko got out and looked to the side of the mountain.

"Kikyko, are you ready again today…" Mishu said to her. Kikyko rubbed her arms and looked at her mother and Miroku as they came around the car.

"Yeah, I think so." She said and sighed. Kagome grabbed her arm and pulled her away from them.

"Excuse us a moment," she said to Mishu, he nodded to them.

"Kikyko, why are you faltering…" Kagome said to her.

"Mother look at me…I'm a half demon, everything we've been doing everything uncle Miroku has been trying to help me do isn't working," she said to her.

"Do you not trust yourself Kikyko? Do you not believe in yourself?" Kagome said to her crossing her arms.

"No mother I don't, I don't know what to believe anymore, what am I? This or a human girl?" Kikyko said to her, she sighed deeply and looked to the falls again. Kagome touched her face Kikyko turned her eyes to her mother.

"Stop this…. you are a human girl with spiritual power, you are powerful Kikyko, your power is feared by demons and humans, you are amazing….I've seen you heal people, and help souls find peace. You can do so much Kikyko," Kagome said to her. Kikyko looked at her and sighed again.

"Mother, I'm so scared you have no idea what goes through my head…thoughts of me becoming a full demon, of hurting people, I've had visions of it. Mother what if that truly does happen, what if this…training doesn't reverse anything," Kikyko's voice stuttered, she balled her hands at her sides.

"STOP IT KIKYKO! Push those vision and those thoughts out of your head, you are not a half demon, you will not allow yourself to hurt anyone…." Kagome was really agitated with her; she too balled her hands at her sides. I really hope she doesn't hit her, Kagome has never struck the kids for any reason, yet her mood really made her want too.

"I guess… I guess I'll try," she said to her mother. Kagome relaxed her body and touched Kikyko's face.

"You will do this, and you will give it 110 percent, do you understand me!" she said to her. Kikyko locked her eyes with her mother and nodded.

"Then let's do this," she said to her. Kikyko let out a deep breath and nodded she turned to Mishu and her uncle. Miroku extended his arm to her as she came towards him.

"I will join you today with Mishu in the falls," Miroku said to her. She looked at him and nodded.


"Wow the gym is full today, men and women… well then, let's do this!" I said putting my bag down.

"Hey InuYasha," Tobashi a badger demon came towards me. He was a good friend of ours, I interlocked my arm with his.

"Hey Tobashi, I see the shop is busy today," I said to him. He smiled and nodded.

"Express pass today?" Tobashi said to me. I nodded.

"Oh yeah… the wife's begging to notice I've toned up more, and well why not…I like teasing her," I said to him rubbing my head. He laughed. Tobashi was really ripped, he was my height and definitely someone who was toned. I don't like to tone up that much but heck, Kagome loves it when I'm muscular.

"Hahaha my wife gets turned on by it, hahhaha," he said again and laughed. I rolled my eyes and shook my head, he handed me a badge.

"Use whatever equipment you like, the gym is at your disposal friend," he said and tapped my shoulder. I nodded. Tobashi and his family where villagers, farmers who lived in our village, Kagome and Sango helped deliver his wife's first child and we helped build their bigger home.

"Thanks," I said and waved as he turned to the reception counter.

I looked at the machines and went over to the bench press, that's usually what I start with. I adjusted the weights on the bar. I looked over the bar and the bench, I'm usually very particular on its height and how the bench is positioned.

"Who is that man?" a human woman near the front counter said looking at me. My ears twitched, I heard her say that, I smiled and put two more round wheels on the bar. She was a human woman probably the same age as Hakura and Kira, she didn't look any older, I saw her eyes look at me. I shook my head and laughed. The man next to me on the other bench pulled his bar up to the pegs and looked at me.

"Dude that is way to much weights," the man said sitting up. I looked over at him and then to the weights again.

"No worries," I said and came around the bench I laid down on the bench. He looked at me and shook his head and laid back down himself along his bench.

"He's so gorgeous wow!" the women said again. I looked over at her and narrowed my eyes to her, then I wrapped my hands around the bar.

"Don't even try Natsumi, he's one of those demons, he's probably married like the most of them are," other women who was next to her said this. Damn right I'm married, and happily too.

I lifted the bar and held it over me for a few seconds, I pulled it down and up again. Not bad for the weight.

"How would you possibly know if he's married, like come on…he looks like a dog demon, I mean look at his muscle shirt, his body is so ripped wow," Natsumi said and blushed. I lifted the bar again and brought it down to my chest.

The man next to me looked at me and shook his head.

"Natsumi your 39, your husband divorced you 7 years ago because he cheated on you with one of them half demon women, whom he didn't even marry, if you're doing this for revenge against him…" her friend said to her. She turned her eyes to her friend and smiled. Guessed that completely wrong, wow women of this time sure do look younger than their age.

"Fine go talk to him," her friend said to Natsumi again. Natsumi looked herself over and let out a deep breath. I chuckled hearing them talk. Maybe I should chat her up a bit. That would be so funny!

She came towards me, I turned my eyes to her quickly then to the bar, I lifted it again and brought it down to my chest. I saw her come around another machine and to the bench near the weights.

"Uh hi," she said sitting down. I turned to her and pulled the bar up and put it in its place. I sat up and looked at her.

"Hi," I said and reached into my bag for my bottle of water.

"I'm Natsumi," she said extending her hand. I looked at her and didn't extend my hand. Strange women she had colored hair, and piercings on her face. If Kikyko ever did anything like that I'd disown her.

"…okay, and you're not very friendly huh!" she said pulling her hand away.

"Is there something I can help you with?" I asked her and got up from the bench, I came around it to the bar and took off one of the weights replacing them with a bigger heavier weight.

"Uh well, I couldn't help but notice you from across the way…. thought maybe I could get to know you," wow she works fast doesn't she. I shook my head and tried my best not to laugh. Come on InuYasha be nice.

"No thanks," I said to her. I came back around the bench again and lied down.

"Oh, well if you change your mind…this is my number," she said handing me a paper. I looked at her and took it. Huh I could so have fun with this, maybe I'll get Kagome to call her, hahahahha that would be so crazy.

She smiled and pulled her hair back off her shoulders, she stood up, I shifted off the bench and looked at her. I should tell her I'm married, nah…not yet!

"You know," I started to say to her. She looked at me and sat down again.

"I'm not really interested…you see I have this woman at home, more like a pet, she's fucking dangerous. I mean dangerous, if she finds this number in my bag god only knows what she'd do, she'd probably go on a hunt," I said waving her paper between my claws. She looked at me a little surprised then her face cringed. Yup that's right!

"Hunt….what is she a dog demon or something?" the women stuttered out, her body seemed to tense up in her spot, I tried not to laugh. I crossed my arms.

"No, more like my wife….I've seen her do some pretty dangerous shit, and trust me she'd make me eat dirt if I brought another women's number home," I said to her nodding, she then sighed deeply and shook her head. Yeah Kagome would totally make me eat dirt, damn bitch still hasn't removed these beads from around my neck yet. Which honestly, I like them, I wouldn't want them gone, I'd rather have her 'sit' me anytime of the day, as long as she's the one doing the sitting. Hahahha!

"Why did I think a man like you would've been single!" she said and stood up.

She took her paper from me and sighed returning to her friend. I chuckled and shook my head then laid back down on the bench.

"Man, that was harsh, I'm married, and I sometimes dabble with other women, don't get me wrong my wife's fine but sometimes a man needs a little something somewhere else," the man next to me said. I turned my head and looked at him. Seriously!

"Are you fucking serious, if you've met my wife you wouldn't even say that, the women is dangerous. I was serious about that part and she's so damn hot, I'm serious about that too, I wouldn't want to dabble anywhere else," I said to him and pulled the bar off the pegs again. He shook his head at me and lifted his bar off his chest.

"If you really need a little something somewhere else then that only means you're getting a little nothing at home, which means it's all you man not her," I said again. I pulled the bar down to my chest then up again. Now this is how weights should be, heavy!

He looked at me and narrowed his eyes.


"CONCENTRATE KIKYKO, your breaking…" Miroku said to her. Kikyko had not even been under the falls for an hour and she was already starting to break. Her concentration was breaking, and her body was already shivering, and her breathing was heavy.

She held her hands together and her beads intertwined around her fingers. She focused her energy, strength and cleared her mind again, just as she had done yesterday.

"Kikyko…" the voice echoed in her head again. She cringed.

"Kikyko, no…keep focusing," Kagome said to her watching her, she was on a ledge near the falls watching Kikyko carefully.

"You did not find the spiritual arrow…" the voice said again.

Kikyko tried to answer it, but her mind was blank nothing, but the voice spoke to her.

"Do you want to remain this, this half demon?" the voice said to her again. This made Kikyko angry, somehow inside herself she found a small speck of her own spiritual energy which she managed to focus on, and a small barrier surrounded her body again.

"That's it, you're doing it Kikyko, do not break the barrier," Kagome said to her. Kikyko's breathing became heavy again.

"Kikyko, the arrow is your only way to return to a human girl…push away your inner half demon Kikyko….and take the arrow," the voice said again. She concentrated on the voice and what it was saying, she tried to hear the voice, remember it clearly focus on it. Kikyko's voice had changed over the past two days it became more huskier and a little deeper, and not sweet and child like—like her normal voice.

"Yes," Miroku said he broke his concentration and looked over at Kikyko, her barrier was growing and the strip of white in her hair was slowly disappearing.

"Yes Kikyko you're doing it, your hair has changed back to black," Miroku said touching her shoulders. Kagome smiled and let out a deep breath.

"UUuhh," Kikyko muttered out, she was trying her best not to break her barrier or her concentration.

"Child do not break, keep going, keep focusing…." Mishu said next to her.

"Kikyko…concentrate, focus, your spiritual energy is within your prayer beads trapped. Release it, take the arrow Kikyko, find it…" the voice said again. That's when she recognized the voice, it was her own voice her own human voice, her own sweet angelic child like voice. She had found her inner self again, and she knew what she had to do. She focused all her thoughts all her memories and brought them to the surface again.

"AHAHA AHHAHA INUKO LOOK LOOK I MADE A FLOWER CHAIN," Kikyko's voice chimed, she was a four year old little girl playing near the river in our village with Inuko. He looked at her and smiled as she ran towards him holding her flower chain in her small hands.

"Mom's going to be mad you got your new kimono dirty again," Inuko said to her and rubbed her dirty face. She smiled at him.

"Hehehehe no she won't," Kikyko's small voice chimed. She put the flower chain over Inuko's head. He blushed and looked at it.

"One day Kiki, you're going to be so powerful just like mom….she uses spiritual arrows, she keeps them in the shed outside you know… and….I'm going to train like dad….." Inuko said to her. That's when Kikyko snapped her eyes opened and gasped. She fainted and fell back into the fall.

"AAAH Kiki," Kagome said jumping off the ledge and into the water. Miroku grabbed Kikyko before she hit her head on the rocks.

"What happened? She succeeded two hours, she managed to do complete her training, but fainting… she must have had a vision of something…" Mishu said worried. Miroku pulled her out of the water.

"Kiki…Kikyko," Miroku said tapping her face. They had wrapped her in a blanket to get her body warm again. Kagome was rubbing her hands with hers.

"Huh!" Kikyko sad opening her eyes.

"You did it baby, you passed the purification…." Kagome said to her. She leaned over her and touched her face.

"I know momma, I know I did…" Kikyko stuttered her words she closed her eyes again.

"We should take her home to rest," Miroku said picking her up in his arms. Mishu smiled and nodded to them.

"She is such a strong-willed girl, her spirit didn't break, she must now focus on herself and her own spiritual energy and meditate tonight and tomorrow," Mishu said to them. Miroku nodded and took Kikyko to the car.

"Thank you," Kagome bowed to Mishu then followed Miroku.


"Well two and a half hours well used up," I said coming into the house, I stretched my arms and rotated my waist. Man, that was a hard work out. I threw my keys to the bowl on the counter.

"Huh!" I heard a car pull in.

I came to the door and opened it, Miroku was at the door with Kikyko in his arms. I smiled and stepped aside to let him in, Kagome came in behind him. She looked at me and looked me over her face blushed, she touched my arms and chest. I was still in my muscle shirt and was just about to take a shower.

"You, where working out huh!" she said to me, coming around me. She was looking my body over. I smiled and nodded closing the door behind her. She giggled and her face blushed again.

Miroku put Kikyko down on the couch and pulled the blanket from the back of the couch over her.

"How did she do?" I said coming towards him Kagome followed me.

"She passed the two hours, the purification is complete," he said to me. I came around the couch and bent down to her and looked her over, I let out a deep breath when I noticed the white in her hair was gone.

"Great I'm glad, looks like it's working," I said standing up. Miroku let out a deep breath and nodded. He too was worried I could tell, after this morning I was worried as well, that she wouldn't make it through the entire process. I'm proud of her.

"I was worried, she managed to create her own barrier and harness her power for a short period of time, she needs to keep doing this for the next few days…" Miroku said to me. I nodded and came around the couch.

"Thanks for today Miroku," Kagome said to him. I nodded. It was what Kikyko needed to find herself again.

"I'll be heading home, I'm sure Sango is back from shopping, this day was exhausting…" Miroku said and tapped his fist to his shoulder.

"Have a good rest of your day Miroku, Kagome and I will be out tonight, do you mind keeping an eye on the kids while we're out?" I asked walking Miroku to the door.

"Actually, Sango and I have a date night tonight, Hakura and Kira won't be home until late they're with the guys tonight, the catering company is finally finalized, and they are at the cake tasting," Miroku said to me at the door.

"Great! Kagome and I have date night tonight too, Kikyko's on babysitting duty I suppose," I said and sighed. Last time I left her in charge of Hoshiki, Koji and Yuki there was silly string all over the entire house, including the bathrooms. Like how the hell did silly string end up in the bathrooms.

"Great the silly string fiasco of last year again, maybe I should get a babysitter for Koji and Yuki," Miroku said at the door.

"No, send them over, Kikyko's grounded so she can't do anything stupid this year, I'll ground her for another week if she does…." I said to Miroku. He thought about it for a moment then laughed.

"You won't ground her; you'll go soft on that girl; you'll lift her punishment in like two days I know you…." He said and touched my shoulder. I growled at him. She's grounded for two weeks I'm not going soft on her.

"Go home monk before I kill you," I hissed at him. Miorku laughed and turned to the door. I shook my head and closed the door behind him, he was still laughing at me as he crossed the yard.

"Huh, no I'm okay momma," I heard Kikykos voice as I came around the kitchen island. I smiled and went over to the couch. I leaned over the back of the couch looking at her.

"Well you did very well today Kikyko, you managed to push away some of your demonic power," Kagome said touching her hands. Kikyko looked at her hands and lifted them to her face.

"I HAVE NO CLAWS!" she said surprised. I smiled when she noticed this. She got up and ran to the mirror in the hallway.

"Your still beautiful Kikyko," I said to her as she examined her hair. She let out this deep breath and twirled in the mirror.

"I don't mind the ears, but man those claws where hard to work with…." Kikyko said coming towards us again. I smiled at her as she sat down on the couch, I came around the couch and sat down next to her. Kagome went to the kitchen to make snacks.

"Your mom and I have a date night tonight meaning you are in charge of your siblings and Koji and Yuki," I said to her touching her head. I saw her smile this mischievous smile.

"No, and no doing anything stupid, no silly string, no water balloons, no pillow fights…. I catch anything off in the house you and Hoshi are double grounded," I said ruffling her hair.

"Hey that's not fair," she crossed her arms.

"Yes its fair, so don't do anything stupid," Kagome said to her from the kitchen.

Kikyko huffed and got up from the couch she came to the kitchen island and sat down on the stool. Just as Kagome turned to the island sliding over a plate of vegetables to Kikyko Hoshiki comes through the hallway with his sister in one arm and almost 10 bags hanging of his other arm.

"MOM DAD," he shouted. Kikyko twirled in the chair and looked at him.

"MOM, DAD Hoshiki is stupid…" she said to him and twirled around in the chair. She was mimicking his voice and mocking him. He hissed and growled at her.

"What the hell is that?" I said to him, Kagome sighed and came around the island, she took Makoto from him. She was wearing a kitty sweater that had cat ears on its hoodie and the word kitty on the chest and she had new jeans with a cat on them, and she was holding her giraffe in her hands.

"SHOPPING!" Hoshiki shouted and laughed. As he came around his sister, he hit her with a bag. She huffed at him and growled.

"HEY, I TOLD SANGO NO SHOPPING," I said loudly Hoshiki laughed and ran to the stairs.

"OH MY GOD YOU'RE A KITTY!" Kagome chimed cuddling Makoto, Mako laughed. Kagome looked at her clothes and pulled at her fake kitty ears on her hoodie.

"Give me your phone," I said waving my hand at her. Kikyko looked at us and laughed as she bit into a carrot. She pulled the plate closer to her.

"No InuYasha!" Kagome said she put Makoto down on the counter and snapped a pick of her. Mako smiled this big smile and held her giraffe to the camera.

"SO PRECIOUS!" Kagome said and posted the pick.

Instagram Post

"When your baby girl comes home from shopping with her auntie and she's dressed as an adorable kitty….oh my god!" She posted. I scowled at her and waved my hand again. Kagome sighed and passed me the phone.

"Swear at Sango, and she's going to kill you…" Kagome said picking up Mako.

Kikyko looked amused she was laughing and eating the vegetables, she kept looking at me and her mother and Mako who was giggling and holding her giraffe shouting 'puppy'. I shook my head.

Sango: SHE'S SO PRECIOUS! I loved shopping with her and Hoshi, spoiled them 100 percent. Also ask her what she's wearing!

"KITTY," Mako shouted. She giggled and laughed.

"OH MY GOD SHE SAID KITTY, sweetie you are dressed as a kitty, but you are a puppy!" Kagome said to her. I narrowed my eyes at Mako.

"KITTY," she shouted again and giggled. Kikyko laughed at her sister and shook her head when her mother pressed her cheek to Makoto and smothered her.

(Where do you get off dressing her as a kitty Sango, she's a puppy P-U-P-P-Y… want me to say it again?)

Miroku: Hahahahah she's the most adorable kitty I've ever seen. The whole time she was here she called herself kitty and giraffe puppy.

(SHE'S A DAMN HALF DEMON PUP! YOU AND I HAVE A PROBLEM SANGO! IT'S LIKE YOU'VE GIVEN HER THIS….THIS IDENTITY DISORDER DISEASE OR SOMETHING…) Kagome leaned over me as I was replying to the messages and laughed. Mako was still shouting kitty. I scowled and grunted.

"Identity disorder disease, there's no such thing InuYasha," Kagome said and laughed.

"Put the phone down InuYasha before you make it worse and Sango comes over here and kills you," Kagome said to me, she sighed and put Makoto into her highchair.

Sango: Take it up with the lawyer InuYasha, you asked me to be the god mother of your children, think about that. Also identity disorder disease….. ummm, is that even a thing?

(I'm changing their birth certificates. AND YES, IT IS!)

Rin: OH MY GOD I WANT TO DRESS MY BABY AS A KITTY TOO…. PURRRRR!

Sesshomaru: Purr again like that and you and I are going to have a problem!

Sango: Wow Sesshomaru talking dirty, I think I'm concerned for Rin right now.

(My brother doesn't know how to talk dirty to a woman, if he did he would've got Rin knocked up years ago.)

Sesshomaru: Fuck off InuYasha!

Miroku: Dirty language boys! Keep it clean!

Rin: Hehehhehe I'll purr all night babe!

Sesshomaru: Don't do it when I'm next to you women! Jeez! There will be a problem.

(What the hell is happening here, my brother is talking dirty on a live thread to his wife. Something is really wrong here, maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm seeing things!)

Sesshomaru: And you have four children because...

(Damn right I do, that's what happens you talk dirty to your wife, take note Sesshomaru!) I love bullshitting him, this is so funny.

Rin: Way to dirty here boys, stop already! Meow!

Mama Higurashi: OH MY PRECIOUS! I cannot wait to pick them up tomorrow for camping.

(Wait tomorrow, I thought Monday!)

"My parents are coming tomorrow InuYasha," Kagome said from behind me she leaned over my arm watching the messages.

"What the hell am I missing here? Kikyko's not herself I don't want her grandparents to see her like this, why didn't you tell me this?" I said to Kagome putting her phone down. It kept pinging with messages. Kikyko kept looking at us, while chomping on carrots, it annoyed me. I glared at her.

"I did tell you InuYasha last night when you were necking me in bed," she said pointing to the mark on her neck. I scowled at her and sighed. That's when I saw Kikyko lift her hand to her mouth.

"AH AHAHAHHAHAHAH," Kikyko laughed loudly on the stool. She found our conversation amusing. I looked at her and scowled.

"WWWOAHH," she said and fell back. She fell to the floor landing on her butt.

"Owie," she said.

"You deserve that, don't you and your brother have chores to do?" I said to her loudly, as Hoshiki was coming down the stairs. He came around the island and looked at his sister.

"HAHHAHAH STUPID IDIOT HAHAHAHHA," he laughed pointing at her.

I picked up the phone again.

"CHORES BOTH OF YOU NOW, Kikyko shed, Hoshiki yard!" I said to the both of them. Hoshiki stopped laughing at his sister, she got up and rubbed her behind.

"WAIT WHAT, why do I have to clean the yard?" Hoshi said and huffed.

"Now move both of you!" I said to them. Kikyko crossed her arms and huffed.

"Not fair," she said passing her brother to the patio doors. Hoshiki followed her as well he was grumbling and mumbling loudly under his breath.

"You started it," Kikyko said to him outside.

"NO ARGUING!" Kagome shouted at them, as they closed the patio door. I looked over at Kikyko as she came around the house to the shed that was nestled near the guest houses. Hoshiki was still mumbling to himself still, he went to the tool shed and got the rake, I saw him start raking the yard. We didn't clean it up last night so there was still a mess in the yard. I chuckled at this and shook my head. Maybe they'll learn not to piss me off. I turned my eyes to the phone again. I could hear Kagome sigh and say something, I ignored her and read the messages again.

Rin: Meow! PURRRR.

Sesshomaru: Seriously stop it women! STOP PURRING LIKE A DAMN CAT!

(Damn what I miss, I had to punish my children. Okay enough with the sex talk on this thread. Sango stop buying shit for my kids, they are pups got that, not cats or wolves or anything else.)

Sango: Really? We're going to have a problem here in a few seconds InuYasha if you keep talking to me like that.

Miroku: Hahahhahaha don't piss her off please, we have a date tonight!

Kagome: Here's the deal, InuYasha stop pissing Sango off, and Sesshomaru for the love of god, not on this thread please. LOL!

-END POST-

Kagome had taken her phone from me. She smiled and hummed pushing her phone into her pocket.

"Hey…" I said to her.

"What is with you…" she said to me, she was washing the plate in the sink. Mako was sucking on a bottle in her high chair. I chuckled and pulled my arms around Kagome.

"Oh," she said startled, her wet hands touched my arms.

"So strong," she said and giggled. I knew she liked that, I flexed my arms around her and heard her giggle again.

"So, what did you buy for tonight…" I said to her. She giggled again and her face blushed.

"I'm not telling you, you horny pup…." She said and giggled again.

"It better be damn sexy," I said to her, she pulled my hands from her body and turned to me. She wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Maybe, you might like it pup!" she said, just as she was about to kiss me, Makoto laughed loudly and threw her empty bottle at us.

"Why does she throw things!" I said and narrowed my eyes at her. Kagome sighed and pulled her arms from around my neck.

"She gets so jealous when we kiss," she said to me. I sighed and picked up her bottle. I looked at her and bent down to her highchair. She stopped laughing and looked at me.

"Stop throwing things!" I said to her. She looked at me again then threw her hands to the air and laughed. I sighed and shook my head.


"Stupid Hoshi taking my hair brush, now I have to clean out this stupid shed….. and it has so much stupid junk," Kikyko started mumbling to herself. She lifted the sleeves of her kosode and tied them.
She then wrapped her hair up in the ribbon into a bun.

"Great where do I start, most of this is junk!" she huffed and crossed her arms. She started moving some boxes and reaching to the higher shelves for boxes pulling them down, she was about to reach for one box over her head when Yamatoo came in behind her.

"Kikyko…." Yamatoo said behind her as she was about to reach for the box.

"OH!" Kikyko said startled she half turned to Yamatoo and the box slipped. He grabbed it quickly holding it above her head. She closed her eyes, then opened one eye and looked at the box.

"YAMATOO you startled me," she said looking at him. He smiled and looked at her.

"My parents where kind of making out on the couch, it was so annoying….so I decided to come see you," he said to her still holding the box above her head. She looked up at it.

"Aah oh the box," she said and reached for it. He brought it down to her. He looked at her as she took the box from him and put it down on a rickety stool.

"Uh, so…" he said watching her as she scrimmaged through the box.

"My stupid brother Hoshi stole my hairbrush and now I'm stuck cleaning out a million years of junk," she huffed. Yamatoo laughed and helped her by holding the flaps of the box down. She lifted her eyes to him.

"How about I help you?" he said touching her hands as she pulled out a book from the box. She dropped the book and pulled her hands away, she blushed.

"Uhh," she said looking at him.

"Sorry…." He said holding his hands up.

"Uh Yamatoo… how about you help with that stuff there, and I'll do this stuff here," she pointed to a few other shelves to her right. He looked at her and smiled.

"How did your training go today?" he asked her, and lifted his sleeves, he turned to a few boxes on the middle shelves and pulled them down.

"Oh…it was the waterfall test, I hate it so much, I have to sit in a waterfall for two hours mostly in concentration mode…" she started to say. He turned and looked at her.

He laughed and shook his head. She turned to him holding a small book in her arms.

"It's not funny its super hard and agonizing kneeling in a waterfall… my legs hurt so bad, and the water was so cold," she whined.

"I bet you look gorgeous wet…." He said teasing her.

"What….what do you mean by that…" she stuttered and dropped the book nervous. She blushed again. He laughed loudly.

"You are so easy to tease," he said to her and laughed again.

"ITS NOT FUNNY!" she shouted at him. He crossed his arms and didn't move his gaze from her.

"At least I'm not talking dirty to you like my stepmom is to my dad," he laughed and touched her head. This made her blush even more.

"STOP with that talk, gosh…" she blushed and turned away from him. He laughed again and touched her head. She blushed and reached for a box again off the shelves.

"I could talk dirty to you if you want…" he teased her and reached for another box. She held her hands to the box and turned her head to him.

"YAMATOO SERIOUSLY," she blushed and almost dropped the box she had in her hands, he laughed again and shook his head.

"Kikyko…." Another voice said from outside the shed.

"Huh?" she said coming towards the sliding wooden doors. She put her box down and peered out.

"Oh hi, there you are…" Hero said as she came out towards him. Yamatoo followed behind her.

"Hi Hero.." she said and smiled. Hero's eyes then looked at Yamatoo as he stood behind her.

"Who the hell are you?" Hero said defensively, Kikyko held her hands up to Hero.

"Hero don't he's my cousin Yamatoo," she said to him pressing her hands to his chest holding him back.

"Why is he here, you're my girlfriend I don't like other men around you…." He said to Kikyko she took a step back as Hero came towards her and she hit into Yamatoo. Yamatoo touched her arms.

"Don't be mad he's my cousin, he comes here always…" she said holding her hands up to him. Yamatoo eyed Hero down.

"I don't want you near Kikyko," he said to Yamatoo. Yamatoo dropped his hands from Kikyko's arms and scowled at Hero.

"Hero please don't, he's family," Kikyko said coming towards him. He took her arm and pulled her around the shed. Yamatoo looked at him, he didn't move his gaze from Hero's shadow.

"I wanted to talk to you…." He said pressing his hands against the shed pinning Kikyko to the side of the shed.

"Ohhhh…" she blushed.

"Hehehe, well maybe I could talk to you later, seems you were cleaning out your shed," he said to her.

"No, tell me now I have some time…. I have two hours to get this done anyway then I have to do laundry," he sighed heavily.

He chuckled and looked at her. He leaned forward and pressed his cheek to hers and whispered in her ear.

"I wanted to ask you out on another date…. somewhere, special…." He said to her. Her face blushed red and she pulled her hands to her face. He chuckled and looked at her.

"I'm grounded for two weeks remember, so that means until after my brother's wedding," she mumbled in her hands. Yamatoo heard him talking to Kikyko and this agitated him. He shifted himself towards them, as not to be seen or heard.

"Mmmm did my naughty little girl get herself grounded," he started to say, he ran his hands up Kikyko's hips and pulled her to him.

"STOP PLEASE…don't," she blushed and turned her eyes from him. He smiled and held her close to his body.

"Hero your making me uncomfortable, I'm really busy today…can we maybe talk later?" she said to him, she tried to push him away from her. He resisted and looked at her.

"I don't like your cousin near you, the way he was talking to you….I don't like that," he said to her. Kikyko looked at him.

"He's my cousin he teases me all the time, we joke and tease eachother, it's how it is….I do that with my brother's too," she said to him. He sighed and pulled her away from him.

He pushed her to the side of the shed again and pressed his hands against the shed.

"I wanted to have dinner at my apartment, and maybe after….we could talk," he said to her leaning forward towards her. She blushed again and looked away.

"Hero, please I'm really busy….and I know for a fact my father will not let me out," she said, she was nervous, he was making her very uncomfortable and she hated that feeling.

He pressed himself against her, she blushed and didn't look at him. He leaned forward to her again.

"I thought maybe you'd like…to get to know me better," he said sliding his hands down her arms.

"Please Hero don't, I said I was busy today…why do you want to go out today, I mean you knew I was grounded!" she said moving her arms from him. She was trembling, she didn't like the way he was rubbing against her, she held her hands to his chest pushing him away. He didn't move and held her close to him.

"Because your scent is driving me crazy and I just want to touch you…" he said to her in almost a whisper. This agitated Yamatoo, he clenched his teeth together still listening to them. He now was angry with Hero and the way he spoke to Kikyko, I think he was about to kill him, but he let out a deep breath and restrained himself.

"E—exuse me," she stuttered pulling her hands from his chest. He pressed his body against her harder.

"Mmm, I know we don't know eachother well. But maybe we could, in my room…after dinner," he whispered against her ear. She looked at him and lifted her hand and slapped him. He stepped away from her.

"Who do you think I am Hero!" she crossed her arms and said this. Yamatoo came around the shed worried.

"Are you okay?" he said, and looked Kikyko, he was making sure she wasn't harmed by him. He turned his eyes to Hero and clenched his teeth again.

Kikyko held her hand to Yamatoo's chest holding him back and came towards Hero.

"I am not that type of girl, I don't sleep with men….or even want too I'm…saving myself. I'm not stupid either! So leave Hero, don't come back here today…" she said to him. She blushed and turned away from him.

He smiled and looked at her.

"You…cousin of hers, if I smell your scent near her again, I will kill you, she's mine…" he said to Yamatoo. Yamatoo came towards Kikyko and grabbed her arm.

"Talk to her like that again, and I'll make your death seem like a accident," Yamatoo said to him. Kikyko looked at Yamatoo and crossed her arms. Hero then smiled and jumped to the air.

Yamatoo turned his eyes to Kikyko's angry mood. He looked at her and rubbed his head.

"I don't like him near you, I don't like the way he spoke to you…." Yamatoo said to her.

"Yamatoo I'm busy, please…just go, and let me finish the shed," she said to him. He looked at her confused.

"Kikyko, why do you defend him over me, he is not good for you. You seem okay with the way he spoke to you and his actions?" He said to her again. She gave him a stern look and walked around him.

"I'm not defending either one of you, I think its best you leave…you and I are cousins and that's it, nothing more," she said to him.

"Fine," he said and jumped to the air as well. Kikyko sighed and returned to her work in the shed.


"AH AHAHA AHHAH," Mako laughed as I threw her to the air, I brought her to my face and kissed her.

"Little girl loves being smothered huh!" I said nuzzling her, she'd tapped her small hands against my face, I pulled her down and her hoodie fell of her head, I kissed her face again.

"InuYasha…." Kagome chimed from the kitchen; she was smiling at me while I was playing with Mako.

Hoshiki was in the house mumbling again to himself, he was in the cleaning supply room looking for garbage bags.

"Quiet complaining Hoshiki," I said to him, he heard me, and I could hear him mumble even more. He grabbed the box off the shelf and came out of the cleaning supply closet, he saw me throwing Mako to the air and came around me back to the patio door.

"Finish the yard you have one hour!" I said to him.

"I hate this," he mumbled and returned to the yard picking up all the paper and garbage.

"PAPA PAPA PAPA," Mako laughed as I started to tickle her with my claws. She laughed again and tried to push my hand away from her.

"Awe, is my little Mako being tickled by her daddy?" Kagome said near me. Mako looked at her and laughed.

I held Makoto to me and looked at Kagome. She wrapped her arms around me and Mako. What is with her this week, every night wanting to make love and now being so affectionate?

"Kago?" I said to her as she rested her head against Mako. Mako laughed against my chest.

"I'm fine InuYasha, I'm just so lucky," she said again. I smiled and touched her head.

"PAPA PAPA PLAY…." Mako shouted again. Kagome pulled herself away from me and looked at her.

"OH MY GOD, SHE'S TALKING!" Kagome chimed again, I sighed and shook my head. What is with her lately? Seriously I'm beginning to worry.

"You want to play more huh," I said and held Mako to the air.

Kagome smiled as I threw Mako to the air again. She hummed and came around me to the kitchen again, I watched her. Seriously is she pregnant or something, she does this every time she's pregnant, she's affectionate and always in heat, and always always wants something, a date, or bribes me or something.


"Great," Kikyko huffed, she blew at her bangs and sighed.

"I think I broke it, mom's going to be so mad, this has to be over a hundred years old," Kikyko said opening the flaps of the box she dropped accidently.

"OOOoh, wow," she said pulling out a very old long antique treasure box that belong to Kagome's grandfather.

"This is so beautiful," Kikyko said blowing the dust off it.

It was a long box that held something like a sword or weapon, she put it down carefully and looked at the broken latch on it. She lifted the lid carefully.

"Oooooo," she said as the lid opened.

"WOW!" Kikyko chimed, there was a quiver with one single arrow in it.

"So beautiful, it looks like something mom must have used, I'm sure this is what she used before," she said pulling the quiver out of the box. There was also a bow in the box as well, Kagome's grandfather had repaired her bow for her when we came here, and her quiver was locked up in his shed in this exact same antique box. Kagome must have forgotten she even had these, when her grandfather died years ago, we moved everything from his shed at her parents' place to here. Kagome wanted to keep a lot of it.

"Huh?" Kikyko said as she diverted her eyes back to the box, she put the quiver down ignoring the fact that an arrow was in the quiver. She slid her hand under the bow and pulled out an envelope.

"What's this?" she said opening it, there was a letter in it.

My precious dearest Kikyko,

My angel of love, peace and hope. One day I pass this bow and this quiver to you, as a symbol of hope. You have proven time and again that your spiritual power is used for good, always remember that, never use it for evil. This arrow holds some of my spiritual powers, combined with yours you will be the most powerful Miko ever to grace this earth.

You are 10 years old now, and I've watched you hold your first bow and arrow, and grow into a beautiful young lady, but one day you will grow in to a women, and on your 16th birthday I will give this to you as a graduation gift, as you become a true miko. Use it well my precious, use it to protect those you love, and use it to keep yourself safe.

A true miko's journey in life is to remain pure, honest and to bring hope to those around her. Never forget that Kikyko, I love you so much my precious daughter. I hope one day if I have another daughter to honor her with the power of a miko as well. Use these well, be safe always! My precious angel, my bell flower.

Love you always,

Mom

"Mom…" Kikyko's eyes filled with tears. She pushed the letter back into the envelope and picked up the quiver. She pushed it back into the box and closed it.

"I shouldn't have found this yet, oh mom I'm sorry….I spoiled it," Kikyko said to herself as she carefully slid the box under one of the shelves. She pushed the letter into her hakama pocket and stood up.

"I won't let you down mother I promise you this, I will keep training and I will make you proud," she said to herself and wiped her eyes. She looked around the shelf and let out a deep breath. She continued to finish organizing and sorting through the boxes.


"Hero, you're still watching her?" Nizu said in a tree, she landed on the thick branch next to Hero. He looked at her and smiled.

"I gave her the poison again to speed up the process," Hero said to Nizu, she grabbed his arm and rested her head against his shoulder.

"Good, you touched it on her skin, right?" she said to him.

"Yes I did, sorry if I went a little overboard with it, I didn't mean too… it was the only thing I could think of at the time," He said to her.

"I thought maybe you meant what you said to her, did you want to sleep with the girl?" she pouted and looked at him.

"Hahaha don't be ridiculous, she's a miko priestess did you see what she is dressed in, it is forbidden by their teachings for a young miko in training to sleep with men," he said to Nizu, she looked at him again and pouted.

"Come on Nizu, tonight Kikyko's demonic blood will take over her body and she will be powerless to stop it, it will kill her." Hero said touching Nizu's face. He turned to her.

"So, does that mean we can have some fun tonight…." She said pulling her arms around his neck. He leaned forward and kissed her.

"Like I said, she's nothing to me, after she suffers a slow painful agonizing death, father will send a messenger to deliver a message to her mother, surrender or we prolong the suffering of her precious daughter," Hero said again to her.

"Mmm Hero, let's go do something dangerous," she said to him. He leaned forward and kissed her again.

"I can think of one thing," he said and pulled his arms around her he jumped out of the tree and to the air.


"Wow dad are you going for a ride can I come with you?" Hoshiki said in the garage, he had finished the yard, cleaned it and even brought in all the chairs and tables to the library room, it took him two hours. I hadn't even noticed the time, I retreated to the garage when Kagome took Makoto to give her a bath. I didn't even notice Hoshiki come in after me. I was fixing the breaks on the bike, I sat up and looked at Hoshi.

"Oh hey, is everything done?" I asked him, I put my tools down in the toolbox. He came towards me and nodded.

"Yes, everything's done," he said looking at the bike. He walked around it and touched the bike; he really loves motorbikes. It scares me that he does, I really hope he doesn't get one when he's older.

"Well since you did your chores today, I guess I could take you for a ride," I said to him. He jumped up on the bike excited. And started turning the handles.

"YEESSS, I LOVE RIDING ON YOUR BIKE!" he said excited.

"Calm down, let's move it off the platform first," I said to him and pushed the bike off the ledge.

"We'll go for a short ride okay, I want to take Kikyko on a ride as well," I said to him. He looked at me and reached for the helmet on the bike handle.

"You're going to let Kikyko ride, you've never let her ride," he said to me. I smiled and took the helmet from him, I put it on his head.

"Yes your sister wants to ride so I'm going to teach her," I said to him. He started to say something through the helmet, I laughed and ignored it, I reached for the other helmet and put it on then got on the back of the bike.

I let Hoshiki start the bike, he revved its engine and turned the handle. He then drove it out of the garage.

"Huh, dad must be using his bike again…" Kikyko said in the shed. She sighed and pushed another box to the shelf.

"Guess it's too good to be true, I don't think I'll ever get to ride dad's Harley," she said to herself. She peered out of the shed and heard the engine again. She sighed and retreated to her work.

"On the highway only not too far okay, then I'll take Kikyko," I half shouted to Hoshi, he nodded and started to pull out of the driveway as the gate opened. Then we were off, Hoshiki pulled out to the highway, I usually go super-fast with the boys because I know they can handle the speed.

"Yeah," Hoshi shouted as he sped up.


"Whew!" Kikyko said finishing the shed, she ran her arm over her forehead and looked around the shed, it had taken her a full two hours to finish the shed, by this point I was still out on a ride with Hoshiki.

Kikyko tapped her hands together and left the shed she closed the wooden doors behind her.

"Well that was hard," she said and came towards the house she slid opened the patio doors and went in.

"Oh are you finish?" Kagome said to her holding Makoto in her arms she was dressed in her bedtime romper, Kagome put her in her playpen for a nap.

"Yes finally, I'll do the laundry now," Kikyko said to her mother. Kagome looked at her and followed her to the hallway.

"Sweetheart, you don't have too, I can do it… why don't you go take a shower, its almost 4pm, have something to eat and relax," Kagome said to her. Kikyko looked at her mother and picked up a hamper.

"No mother it's fine I want to help," she said to her. Kagome looked around the laundry room and sighed.

"There's so much laundry how do boys get so dirty!" she said picking up a hamper as well.

"Mother, can I ask you something…." Kikyko said sorting the laundry over the washing machine. Kagome looked at her while sorting the laundry as well.

"Yes?" she said to her.

"I know when I was younger I gave up on training to be a miko, and I never finished…I want to now, I want to finish everything I need to do, to become a true miko," Kikyko said looking at the clothes in her hands.

Kagome put the hamper she was sorting down on the floor and looked at Kikyko.

"Are you being serious about this?" she said to her. Kikyko turned to her mother and nodded.

"Yes I know a miko graduates at 16, I want to do that mother," she said to her. Kagome crossed her arms.

"Kikyko your schedule is always so busy, with harp lessons, finishing high school, dance…. you won't have time to fully focus on miko training," Kagome said to her.

"Yes I will mother, I'll drop dance if I have too, I want to do this…I want to make you proud and I don't want to fail," Kikyko started to say. Kagome came towards her and touched her face.

"Sweetheart miko training isn't easy, there's so much you need to learn and do before you can graduate as a true miko," Kagome said again. Kikyko nodded and touched her hands to her mothers.

"I am always so proud of you Kikyko, and if you want to do this…then you must work it around your schedule, and you must work hard on this, if your serious about it, I'll train you…you can register for classes at the temple," Kagome said to her. Kagome used to teach at the Buddhist temple other miko's but since she became pregnant with Makoto, she put her teaching on hold.

"Yes mother I will," Kikyko said then turned to the laundry. She dumped the hamper into the machine and started it, she reached for some detergent and put it over the water then closed the lid. Kagome smiled at her and loaded the second machine as well. We have two washers well, because there's 6 of us and things can get a little chaotic in our house.

Kikyko and Kagome where in the laundry room for about twenty minutes, by this point Hoshiki drove the Harley in to the garage.

"THAT WAS SO AWESOME!" he said loudly taking off the helmet, he turned the key and turned off the bike. I smiled and ruffled his hair.

"Go get your sister!" I said to him. He smiled and handed me the helmet.

"SIS!" Hoshiki shouted in the house, he came around the kitchen and to the laundry room down the hallway. Kikyko was sorting out a second hamper when Hoshiki came in to the room.

"Huh Hoshi what is it?" Kikyko said looking at him as he came around his mother towards her. He smiled and crossed his arms.

"Dad's looking for you, he's in the garage…" Hoshi said and nodded.

"Ooh why?" Kikyko said putting the hamper down on the floor, Kagome smiled.

"Just go talk to him, I don't know why…" Hoshiki said looking at his sister as she came around him. He laughed and nodded again. Kikyko crossed her arms and looked at her brother.

"I want to record sis on the bike, she's going to tip it over and it's going to be so funny…" Hoshi said holding his hand out to his mother, he kept his eyes on his sister as she left the room. Kagome sighed and reached into her pocket for her cell phone.

"If you record your sister on the bike and she hurts herself I'm going to take down the video Hoshi," she said to him. He took the phone from her and laughed; he ran out the door after his sister.

"Great so much laundry," Kagome said looking around the room. She sighed and reached for another basket, as she bent down she noticed something on the floor.

"Huh?" she said picking up an envelope. Kikyko had dropped the letter she put into her hakama.

"Kikyko…" Kagome said reading the letter. That's when she realized Kikyko's reason for wanting to train as a miko, Kagome read the letter again.

"I forgot about this, Kikyko gave up on her training and I had forgotten I even wrote this….oh Kiki…this is why you want to continue your training…my precious angel," Kagome said pushing the letter back into the envelope, she left the laundry room and came down the hallway to check on Makoto, who had passed out in her playpen.


"Dad Hoshi said you needed me for something?" Kikyko said coming through the garage. She looked at me and then to the bike I was still sitting on.

"You brought out the Harley," she said and smiled.

"I thought maybe you'd like to learn to ride this beast," I said to her. I extended my hand to her, she looked at me then the bike, she extended her hand to me. I grabbed her and pulled her to me.

"Sit," I said and tapped the seat. She put her legs over the bike and looked at it.

"I thought this whole time you were joking!" she said and giggled. I touched her head.

"Hahaha, don't get too excited, it doesn't just go by itself….touch the handles get a feel for it," I said to her. She put her hands on the handles and leaned forward. Hoshiki had come in after his sister I noticed him near the door holding his mother's phone in front of him. I smiled; he was recording his sister on the bike. I hope she doesn't tip it.

"Besides, no backsies!" I said again, she turned to me then laughed.

"So, how does this work?" Kikyko said excited. I tapped the key in front of her.

"Oh it has a key, so cool…." She said and turned the key. It didn't start.

"Uhh, am I missing something?" she said. I chuckled.

"Gas, break…" I said tapping the handles.

"Turn the gas handle towards you and then turn the key, at the same time," I said to her. She looked at the handle then the key. She turned the handle and the key.

"WOAH," she said as the bike jerked beneath her.

"Easy now it's going to jerk a little, don't take your hands off the handles," I said to her. She slid a little closer to the handles.

"Okay, to pull out you need to put both feet here," I said and tapped the peddles with my feet. She looked at them and put her feet on the peddles.

"Ok," she said. I smiled and leaned in a little closer to her, I pulled the ribbon from her hair.

"Let your hair down it fits better in the helmet," I said and reached for the helmet.

"Uh wait are we going to go now?" she said a little nervous. I smiled and nodded at her, putting the helmet on her head. She lifted the visor of the helmet and looked at me.

"Uh wait, I don't know if I want to control the bike," she said nervous.

"I'll pull out, then you can take the handles on the highway," I said to her. She looked at me with this nervous expression. I smiled and closed her visor. I put my helmet on and put my hands over hers on the handles.

"So cool!" Hoshi said as I pushed the bike out of the garage, he followed us.

"Daddy I don't think this is a good idea anymore," she mumbled in the helmet, I chuckled.

"Don't get scared now, now put your feet on the peddles…." I said to her, I touched her hands and rolled the gas and break so she could get a feel of it, the Harley roared.

"Eeeh! Uhh," she started to say, she was nervous and scared I could tell because she trembled a little in the seat.

"Okay baby girl," I said to her touching her shoulders.

"Ease up slowly, turn the handle…" I said to her. She slowly turned the handle and the bike moved, it jerked when she turned the break.

"Okay not bad, just don't let it jerk you'll fall off," I said to her.

"Here like this," I said. I put my hands over hers and revved the engine, she turned her head to me then looked at the handles. I slowly turned the handle for some gas, and drove around the lot slowly, so she could get the feel of the bike.

"Oh," she said. I pulled my hands from hers, and she took control of the bike on her own.

"That's it, go around…" I said to her helping her figure out how to steer. I saw Kagome come into the garage with Makoto asleep with her head on her shoulder.

"Hehehehe she looks nervous," she said to Hoshiki who held the phone to the air recording Kikyko.

"This is so live mom, and sis is doing good for a beginner," Hoshi said as Kikyko road the bike around the lot. I didn't open the gate for her to go on the highway yet, not until she was able to control the bike and feel confident enough to give it some speed.

-End Post—

The entire thread went live and there were so many people watching as Kikyko learned to ride a Harley. I think mostly family and friends of ours, she wasn't doing so bad for a beginner. She controlled the bike smoothly and rode around the front lot well. So now, highway!

"Uh dad," Kikyko said as I clicked the remote for the gate. She looked at the gate as it opened.

"Okay funs over, I don't want to ride on the highway," she said to me lifting the visor on her helmet. I looked at her and lifted my visor.

"Come on, trust yourself Kikyko, I'm with you….I won't let anything happen. Now baby girl, ease up on the gas smoothly and pull out of the gate," I said to her touching her shoulders. She let out a deep breath and pulled down her visor, I did the same. I saw Sango, Miroku and their boys come out to cheer Kikyko on. They were with Kagome near the gate watching her. Hoshiki had ran out in front of us.

Kikyko let out a deep breath and slowly rolled her hand over the gas handle. She pulled out of the gate, I put my hands over hers.

"A little speed," I said to her. She was nervous again as I revved the engine again, I eased up on the throttle and rolled the handle giving it some gas, then I released the break and the bike slowly accelerated.

"Aaah, woah," Kikyko said as I slowly sped the bike up on the highway.

"YEAH!" Hoshiki shouted recording his sis as we passed him and pulled out to the highway.

"There we go, now let's give her some speed," I said accelerating a little more, Kikyko's hands tightened on the handles, and we were off speeding on the highway. I pulled my hands from hers and let her control the bike. We sped past Sesshomaru's house, I saw him, Rin and Yamatoo in their driveway. They watched as Kikyko sped past them, Rin was cheering and clapping her hands.

"DAD, THIS IS SO AWESOME!" Kikyko said loudly over the engine.

"Keep it steady at this speed, don't go any faster…." I said to her touching her arms. She kept her hands stable on the handles and managed to smoothly control the bike, she turned the front of the bike when we got near a road sign. We were far away from our homes, almost heading towards another highway. Kikyko slowed down the bike as she made a full U-turn.

"DAD THIS BIKE IS SO COOL! I CAN SEE WHY YOU LOVE RIDING IT," she said again. I chuckled as she slowed down a little more, then gave it more gas and accelerated on her own, she sped up again as we headed back towards the house. I used to ride the Harley quiet often, but after Hoshiki was born I became more cautious, I didn't want to end up in a wreck, even though I'd make it out of it alive. I didn't want to put any harm or trauma on my family, so I would ride it every weekend and not as fast as I usually do. The highway by our homes is usually pretty secluded, no one every uses it and we barely see any activity.

"I RIDE FASTER THAN THIS KIKI…DON'T EVER DO IT YOURSELF, BUT IT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF ADRENALINE AND ITS SUCH A RUSH," I said to her. She laughed and slowed down a little when we passed her uncles home, I waved at Sesshomaru and Rin. Kikyko drove down the highway away from our homes in the other direction, I tapped her shoulders as she accelerated a little more.

"HEHEHE, SO COOL… Okay last round and home," she said giggling. I'm proud of my little girl riding the bike on her own. She managed to make it to the end of the highway before it merged to the city, and she turned the bike on her own, and headed back to the house.

Hoshiki was at the end of the driveway still recording Kikyko as she slowed the bike down near the house.

"DAD THAT WAS SO COOL!" she said slowly pulling the bike in to the driveway. Hoshiki came towards us as Kikyko slowed the bike down.

"YEAH SIS THAT WAS SO AWESOME," he shouted as Kikyko drove the bike through the gate and back to the garage. She stopped the bike and turned the key shutting off the engine.

Miroku, Sango and her boys followed us to the garage, Kagome did as well.

"WOW," Kikyko said taking off her helmet. I took off mine.

"WOW SIS, that was so awesome! You did really good," he said to her and shut off the live feed. He handed the phone back to his mother. Kagome laughed and came towards us.

"Did you have fun Kiki?" she said to her as Kikyko got off the bike. I kicked the stand and let the bike tip on it.

"Good job Kikyko," Sango said to her. Kikyko chimed and giggled, she followed Sango and her mother to the house. Hoshiki followed behind them.

"Wow didn't think you'd actually let Kikyko ride the Harley," Miroku said to me.

"I wasn't going to break my word Miroku, besides….she's always wanted too," I said to him, he nodded to me. I locked the garage behind us as we followed the women in to the house.


"Yes, yes you can order pizza, but Kikyko is in charge tonight…so no water balloons, silly string, or anything that will cause a mess or set the house on fire," Sango said leaning forward towards her boys. Hoshiki was behind them laughing.

"That goes the same for you Hoshiki and please respect your sister, listen to her," Kagome said to him. He looked at Kikyko and snickered at her.

"She can suck it…." He said to her. Kikyko crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at the boys.

Kagome shook her head and sighed.

"Bedtime at 9pm boys and no video gaming past 8," Kagome said to them. The boys mumbled and sighed.

"Awe man," they said to eachother then turned to the couch in the living room.

"You know you can call us if you need anything sweetie," Kagome said to her coming around the island, she put a half sleepy Makoto in her play pen again.

"Wooo finally get ride of the kids for the night," I said nodding. Miroku chuckled and touched my shoulder.

"Kikyko if the boys act up, just let us know… we'll deal with them when we get home," Miroku said to her.

"Not funny dad, and they won't act up, I'll just kick them," Kikyko said to us. I smiled at her. Miroku laughed.

Sango came over to the couch talking to her boys again, she kissed their heads then then turned to us.

"Okay well we are heading out, behave boys," Kagome said to them. She blew a kiss at Hoshiki, he turned his eyes to his mom and waved.

"Bye Kiki," Sango said touching her head, Miroku smiled at her as Sango came towards him.

"Here's some money for pizza and food, and make sure to set the alarm when we leave," Kagome said reaching into her purse, she gave Kikyko some money. Kikyko looked at it and counted it. She was always so responsible with money, gives the right amount when she uses it and makes sure the change is always correct. She's never been ripped off, even when the pizza boy, a rookie, tried to get away with not giving her, her change.

Kagome touched her face and kissed her forehead, she smiled at her and then turned to me. I looked at her and waved my hand for her to go, Kagome hummed to herself and came around me to the hallway.

"No boys allowed over this means Hero, if I catch a whiff of his scent in this house…." I started to say to her, she rolled her eyes and huffed.

"Daddy I know," she said to me and crossed her arms.

"Be good boys, love you girl," I said to her and kissed her head. The boys mumbled from the couch, I turned to the hallway. We closed the door behind us, this is the second time ever we've let Kikyko babysit alone without supervision. Last year Inuko was busy with exams so were Hakura and Kira and we had a very important business meeting, we could not take the kids with us. Kagome and Sango left the kids with Kikyko so they could attend the meeting with us, and she did really well, despite the silly string and pizza boxes, and the mess in the living room. But hey, at least they were alive, and the house didn't burn down.

I sighed as we closed the doors of the car behind us. Kagome reached for her seat belt.

"I hope they don't kill eachother," I said and started the car.

"I hope the house is still standing in one piece," Kagome said to me. She looked at me and we both laughed, I pulled out of the driveway. Miroku honked at us as he and Sango pulled out of their driveway. I waved at them from my open window, they were going to a different restaurant for their date night. Kagome looked at me with this naughty expression on her face. I diverted my eyes to the road and sighed. She's in heat, great!

"OH BOYS!" Kikyko said with this mischievously look on her face. They turned and looked at her from the couch.

"Mom and dad are away, meaning Kikyko….is in charge," she laughed this evil laugh. The boys looked at eachother then to her.

"AAAAHHHH!" they shouted.
