Chapter 4
Thx for waiting guys, now let's get to the next chapter of the story.
It has been a week since Miroku and Sango had discovered that their son has traveled back in time to prevent an oncoming threat and thanks to the remedies of Kaede and Kagome, Miyatsu is already up and about. (I know that it takes longer than a week to recover from injuries but keep in mind that this is Inuyasha and people on this show heal quickly) Inuyasha and Kagome were off searching for more information about the staff in order to help find it while the others stayed behind and watch over the village.
(At Miroku and Sango's house)
Miyatsu was watching his sisters as they played with the twin-tailed cat Kilala while Miroku and Sango did the laundry. The twins always loved to play with Kilala whenever she and Kohaku would come to the village, which was a relief for Shippo.
"Hey Miyatsu, are you feeling better today now that you can walk?" Kohaku asked his nephew
"Yes, I'm feeling better thanks to Kagome and Kaede's remedies." Miyatsu stated with a smile on his face.
"Well, that's good to hear. You certainly look a lot healthier too than when you first got here?" Kohaku said
The two demon slayers smiled at each other and then Kohaku became curious about the weapon that his nephew was holding.
"Would you mind if I look at your lance? It looks like a very interesting weapon." Kohaku asked
"Sure thing." Miyatsu said as he handed his weapon to Kohaku.
The moment Miyatsu let go, his uncle became surprised by the weapon's weight.
"Wow, this thing is heavier than it looks." Kohaku said with a surprised expression
"Yeah, I know. It took me a lot of training to be able to wield it properly." Miyatsu told his uncle with a chuckle
"Where did you get this? Did you make it yourself?" Kohaku asked
"No, I asked Totosai to make it for me. Though I did help him come up with the design and special features." Miyatsu said as Kohaku became curious
"What do you mean Special Features?" Kohaku asked
"Why don't I just show you? I mean I have been really bored, so how about we have a sparring match?" Miyatsu proposed which left his uncle surprised
"Are you sure? I mean have you recovered enough to do it?" Kohaku asked with a concerned tone
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm a fast healer." Miyatsu said as he got up and started walking to an open area to spar with Kohaku which gained the attention of the rest of the family.
Sango became worried and was about to stop him when her husband put a hand on her shoulder and gave an expression that told her that everything was going to be ok. The girls were really excited about what they were about to see and were cheering for their brother. The two demon slayers got into their fighting positions and prepared for their sparring match.
"Are you ready?" Kohaku asked as he prepared his weapon
"Bring it." Miyatsu stated
Kohaku charged and made the first strike towards his nephew. Miyatsu managed to block the attack with his lance and then countered with a kick that sent Kohaku back. Kohaku then made another attempt to strike but then Miyatsu made an unexpected move with his weapon. Miyatsu blocked the strike and then split his lance in half where a second blade popped out of the second half of the lance and struck his uncle back. (In case anyone is confused, it's kind of like the two mini-staffs that Nightwing has except Miyatsu's weapons have blades on the end of them.)
"What the!?" Kohaku said in surprise
Everyone was left in surprise by what they just witnessed.
"Surprised? That's one of the special features I had Totosai make for this lance. What do you think? Miyatsu asked
"It's amazing. I never would have thought that your weapon would be able to do that." Kohaku said in amazement.
"Thanks, now let's get back to sparring because I'm just getting warmed up." Miyatsu said with fire in his eyes
"Alright, but don't think I'm going to go easy on you just because you're family." Kohaku said in a competitive tone
"Don't worry, I won't." Miyatsu stated
Miyatsu and Kohaku clashed with each other exchanging blows and having a hard time with each other until eventually, Kohaku tried a roundhouse kick which Miyatsu was able to counter by ducking and then by having one of his lance's plunged into the ground, Miyatsu swept Kohaku's leg and caused him to fall on his back. Miyatsu then pinned Kohaku to the ground with his foot and then had both the blades of his lances crossed towards Kohaku before returning his weapon to its original state and helped his uncle up.
"Wow, you're good. If you ask me, I think you're strong enough to fight a swarm of demons on your own." Kohaku said which made Miyatsu smile.
"Thx, that means a lot." Miyatsu said
The rest of the family walked over to Miyatsu.
"That was awesome!" Shippo said excitedly
"So cool!" Yumi & Akari cheered
"You're amazing. It's obvious that you get your amazing demon slayer skills from your gorgeous mother." Miroku said while stroking his wife's rear end
Sango was embarrassed by what her husband was doing and swatted his hand away and gave him a stare that made him scared. She then gave her son a big hug with a very happy expression.
"It's so wonderful knowing that my little boy will grow to be such a strong man. You don't know how happy I am to have this opportunity given to me so soon." Sango said with tears of joy beginning to form in her eyes.
"Mom, it's ok. Plus, could you stop hugging me so hard? You starting to hurt me." Miyatsu said in a bit of pain
"Oh, sorry." Sango said as she let go
"I really must say, that's an amazing weapon you have there. I sure wish I had one." Sango said happily
"You haven't seen anything yet. This thing has so many more surprises." Miyatsu stated
"Like what?" Miroku asked
"I don't think I can say, from what Kagome said, I really shouldn't let you guys know too much about your futures or anything close to it because it might cause a lot of trouble for my time period." Miyatsu explained to parents
"Well, I guess that makes sense." Miroku said
"Yes, it'll be fine if we don't know." Sango said in agreement with her husband
"Thanks. So, when do you think Inuyasha and Kagome will be back?" Miyatsu asked
"Hard to say, but if I had to guess, I would say not much longer." Miroku deduced
"Also, there's something that I've been meaning to ask you Miyatsu." Miroku told his son
"Yes, dad?" Miyatsu said with a curious expression
"How many beautiful women have been able to charm in your time?" Miroku asked with a sly smile
"Dad!" Miyatsu said embarrassed
"Miroku!" Sango said angrily
"What? I just want to know more about my own son's interests. Is that such a bad thing?" Miroku claimed
"Well I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm not that kind of guy. I don't go around asking every girl I meet to bear my children or grope them." Miyatsu said which caused everyone to stare at him in shock
"What? Just because I come from a line of perverted monks, doesn't mean I'm a pervert. Besides, I don't want to fall for a demon's trick and get into trouble like dad did back in the day." Miyatsu said which caused Sango to giggle and Miroku to sigh in embarrassment.
"Well, that's good to hear. To be perfectly honest, I thought you'd grow up to be a perverted idiot like your father." Shippo said casually
"Excuse me?" Miroku said in an annoyed tone
"Aren't you the guy who used to ask every beautiful girl he met to bear his children, even when it meant getting beat up by Sango?" Shippo questioned with a knowing look
Miroku was taken back a bit and tried to come up with something to say but ultimately gave into defeat.
Anyway, once we have an idea of where we're supposed to go, what's going to be the plan? Kohaku asked
Since this might be dangerous, I think we should have Kaede and Rin watch over the kids while we're gone. Sango said
Yes, we certainly wouldn't want anything to happen to them because if anything happened to the Miyatsu in this time period, the Miyatsu from the future will cease to exist.
Miroku stated which caused discomfort for everyone.
"In that case, I think I'll stay behind to keep them safe in case Jigoku finds you and decides to attack your younger self. Besides, spending time with my nieces and nephew would do me some good." Kohaku said while smiling at the twins
Miroku and Sango nodded in agreement to the arrangement and then return to doing the laundry. Later in the afternoon, Kagome and Inuyasha had returned from their informational search and met at Miroku and Sango's house to tell them what they found.
"From what I could get from Myoga and Totosai, the staff was an ancient relic that was crafted by the God of Time, Mahakala to help him focus his powers, but the staff eventually proved to be too powerful to control and since the staff was bound to time itself, he couldn't risk destroying it so he sealed it away in the hopes no one would find it." Kagome said
"Since Jigoku found it, I guess he didn't seal it well enough." Inuyasha remarked with annoyance
"Well, what information could you gather about the demon slayers who hid it away." Sango asked
"They couldn't say. All they knew was that the staff was very well hidden, and the demon slayers never told a soul on where they put." Kagome said
"Well, isn't that convenient." Miroku said in a depressed tone
"But they did tell us where to staff was originally sealed so that should be a good place to start looking for clues to where it is now." Kagome said with an optimistic tone
"Ok, well now that we have location, lets begin our journey." Miyatsu said with everyone nodding in agreement.
Sorry it took so long for this chapter to come out. I just had a bit of writer's block and was busy with other things. I hoped you liked it and follow through with the rest of the story.
