Ok so I thought I'd just thank Kimmico for reviewing on my first and fourth chapters, Kagome does seem to have it pretty hard at the moment.
Just a disclaimer to start this off I do not own any of the Inuyasha plots/story line or characters but I do own my own character - Hana (Kagome's older sister), Masashi (Kagome's father), Ami (Kagome's mother), Zealous (Masahi's Blade), Hikaru (Naraku's brother) and Deathraze (Naraku's sword and the new character: Tsukiko (Hikaru's daughter) and Kaito (Hana's best friend). Alright enjoy guys.
Chapter 5: The fearsome Hikaru?
Kagome's pov:
"Stop, they're coming, I feel the presence of the assassins their black hearts are near" Zealous says I stopped as did everyone I held a firm grip on Zealous suddenly two figures appeared. One looked like the other I had met before, the other he had the same outfit that the lizard demon had on, his eyes are a rich brown colour, I sniffed slightly and noticed a cats sent and a lizards sent I wasn't sure how I noticed what they were but it felt like a natural instinct. "So you did find Masashi's blade, how nice to see you in fine condition again" the lizard demon said "Likewise I appreciate your presence so early Hikaru outdoes himself" Zealous says "So what do you want of us Zealous we hate chatter is there someone to kill or not?" the cat demon asked. "Kagome needs to speak with Hikaru as do her friends they must know about Naraku…" Zealous said they both laughed cutting Zealous off "You realise how stupid this is? Man you're a goner for sure if you step a foot inside our home… Hana will tear you a part" the cat demon said.
"Oh well it's her funeral so you want us to lead you there now?" the lizard demon asked "Once the sun is down yes" Zealous replies "You think that is going to change how strong Hana is… Hana has grown evener stronger now, the colt praises her and looks up to her just as much if not more than her father" the cat demon says. "The sun will be down by the time we reach there if we walk" the lizard demon said "Yes but for now I want to see what the younger Higurashi daughter is like" the cat demon snickered "Be quick and don't damage her" the lizard demon said my eyes widened as he lunged at me I swiped my open hand at him as I jumped away. "Hasn't anyway told you its bad manners to jump away from a hit?" the cat demon said "Yeah, I know the motto, fight strong and die well but I think living is much better" I said "You know the motto and yet still think living is honour…? She's not like Hana or Masashi at all…" the cat demon snapped. "She brings down his name luckily Hana's around to keep the reputation up" the lizard demon said "That's for sure, let's go we've wasted enough time" the cat demon said and they walked off a I frowned as I followed behind but not to close "Are you ok?" Koga asked as he walked by my side.
"Yes, I just wish I could actually live up to my father but I don't want to kill in order to do that" I said "I'm sure your father is more than proud of you" Koga said I looked to him and smiled "Thanks Koga" I said we walked for a couple hours when I felt a tug of something and looked to the two demons in front. "You sense it then…" Zealous says "Yes but how?" I asked "Because your father was a part of this colt and you share the same blood as Masashi, it is the same as when you sensed the tree of souls your father's home" Zealous said "Come quickly and keep your traps shut we don't do this all the time you know we have people that actually need killing" the cat demon hissed. We had walked into an underground lair four assassins came our way one human, one half snake demon, and two demons one a dog demon the other a horse demon "Yo where are you guys going?" the cat demon asked as he came to the front with the lizard demon. "We're going out to help Hana she's got herself a mighty dragon demon in the far north to slay he's quite relentless to give up the information so Hana wants some recruits to help torture him till he speaks" the dog demon replied "Sounds like fun you'll have to tell us all about it, say hi to Hana for us and leave this group a surprise for her" the lizard demon said.
"Of course well we better go, there's a dragon demon we got to play a game with" the human snickered they laughed "Fight strong and die well brothers and sisters" the cat demon said "We shall" the horse demon said and with that they ran out. I hate this, it's so wrong "Let's move Hikaru has only so much patience" the cat demon said and lead us further into their hideout it was a massive space with a training arena and a meditation area there were some many demons, half demons and humans here. It seems so lively and so tension free like theirs no problems "This whole place would be nothing without Masashi to help Hikaru build up his grand dream, his hope of creating harmony" Zealous said "Every single one of us looks up to your father and now your sister even the new recruits see your father as a hero, a god" the lizard demon said. They lead us on to a separate part "Go through this passage, the quarter at the end of the passage is Hikaru's do not enter the quarters on the left or right, they're will be trouble if you do" the lizard demon said "Scram we got better things to do then baby you" the cat demon snapped.
"Thank you" I said "Pfft thanks what a joke, let's go" the cat demon puffed and walked off the lizard demon followed I walked down the passage we got half way when Hikaru came out, he looked just like Naraku black hair and crimson eyes but had the colt's dress code but in robes not in an armoured ninja suit. "Ah, Kagome how nice to finally meet you at last, Zealous great to see you again my old friend how's the home doing?" Hikaru said as he walked towards us "Hikaru I'm good, the house needs more souls but it's holding up quite well, still strong… How are you and the colt?" Zealous asked "Good-good my friend, come…" Hikaru replied as he reached us he slung his arm around my shoulders. "You don't look like a fighter but I can change that… I'll change Hana's mind and make her your teacher and we can add your friends into our colt, Hana will teach you and the wolf demons as for your friends my daughter and her friend will teach them, this is wonderful I've waited for you to find us and now you're here in our humble home but I fear I'm getting ahead of myself we can talk after you've all rested" Hikaru said as he kept his arm around me as he walked back to his room I had no option but to walk with him, he seems so happy. We had walked into his quarters it was as half the size of my fathers' home I gawked to see a canvas of Hikaru, Masashi, Hana and another girl I presumed was Hikaru's daughter "Ah that's my girl, Tsukiko her mother died in child birth… It was hard raising her alone but your father came by from time to time and helped me in raising her, I re-paid the debt and helped raise your sister, Hana" Hikaru said.
I could see now Hikaru was nothing like Naraku "I presume Hana will not be long…" Zealous said "She will be back when she finishes gathering the information I need from that dragon demon" Hikaru said he looked very distressed "Something tells me it's about Naraku…" I said. Hikaru looked to me and smiled "You're smart, you pick up on things…" Hikaru said "Smart she needs a lot of work Hikaru… She killed Noboru, she defends she's not a killer" Zealous said "I would not fret friend, if she has killed Noboru she is strong enough to be here, now stay here, make yourselves at home while I get some refreshing beverages for you all" Hikaru said and walked out. "Hikaru is definitely nothing like Naraku" Sango says "Yes seems he's the opposite and the colt seems so relaxed, harmonized one could say" Miroku says I looked at the canvas to see my sister she had long black hair left out and her fringe was parted to the left and she had silver eyes she had a wolf tail and ears like me but in black and they had a silver tinge to the tip of her ears and tail. She wore the same colt dress code as did my father and Tsukiko, Hikaru's daughter, Tsukiko had blondish/white hair that was in a plat and rolled into a bun her fringe was puffy and reached just above her eyes and had two side fringes that hung just past her jaw line and had crimson eyes.
Hana is beautiful, strong, wise, she had more than I ever had but I wouldn't swap her, she's happy and that's what matters "Hana is a rare beauty indeed one could say almost goddess like" Zealous said "What are you babbling about now?" Inuyasha snapped. "Hana, first daughter to Masashi and rightful heir to take over his job as a fearsome assassin wolf demon" Zealous said "She's half demon blade so how can she be a full demon, you said yourself it made Naraku corrupt" Inuyasha said "Indeed Naraku did get corrupted but since Masashi is dead and in the place of the wolf demon ancestors he may grant a wish weather that be to bestow a gift on to a family member whether blood related or not" Zealous said. I could hear Hikaru come back and he was talking with a female, he came in then the female it was Tsukiko, she gave me an icy glare "So you're her…" Tsukiko puffed "Tsukiko none of that, this is between Hana and Kagome to sort out so everyone is to be nice to Kagome and her friends" Hikaru said. "Yes father, so when is my sister to be expected back?" Tsukiko asked "Midnight if things go well maybe before that, after all Hana is the best since Masashi" Hikaru replied "Of course, so how long will Kagome and her friends be staying?" Tsukiko asked.
She really didn't like me, it seemed I have to prove myself "They'll stay as long as they like, they are after Naraku and Kagome is the second daughter to Masashi" Hikaru replied Tsukiko puffed a sigh and turned away "Look if you have something to say about me then say it I'd rather I'd know what everyone thinks of me" I said. Tsukiko raised a brow "Ok Ka-go-me I'll tell you exactly what I think, you said Hana was the monster then why have you chosen to be the very thing you hate, that you fear and if you wanted Masashi to kill Hana why didn't you just do it yourself instead?" Tsukiko said in disgust I frowned "I know I made a mistake, I was a child and I acted out fear instead of thinking first, I changed because I love my sister and I wish I could take back what happened but I can't" I said. "Tsukiko why don't you go check and see how the torture chamber is holding up" Hikaru says Tsukiko looked to Hikaru "Of course father…" Tsukiko said then looked to me "Hana will have a hard time even accepting that as an apology but you can try" Tsukiko said and left. I looked down what more can I possibly do? "Kagome your father did not expect you to change but you have done so to redeem yourself and make up for your mistakes, I'm sure Hana will have gratitude for that but may I offer you some advice that I learnt from your father?" Hikaru said I gave a nod "To speak is to corrupt to stay silent gives away many secrets but yet one cannot choose one or the other so one must have balance and choose what is to be known, speak only of what you want to be heard not all needs to be said" Hikaru says.
I smiled slightly remembering how some things father would say would be in riddles "That's confusing…" Shippo said "Young man there is wisdom to Masashi's words he knew a lot as do I, the older you are the more you learn the more experience you gain… Ah but I feel I have rushed things we should not speak of my brother nor of fighting or training, no we should learn about each other, we shall sit and tell our stories so we can all be more acquainted with each other" Hikaru said. I smiled Hikaru was so happy he seemed like he didn't have any bad in him, we had all made ourselves comfortable "So Kagome how's your mother and younger brother fairing?" Hikaru asked "They're doing well, I know it hasn't been easy for mom but we get by" I said. Hikaru gave a nod "I know exactly what you mean, I'm a single parent though raising two children on her own, she has done remarkably well" Hikaru said I smiled, I heard some people walking our way "Sir we have the refreshing beverages you asked for" a male's voice rung out "Ah Kaito come in" Hikaru said as he stood up. A few men came in with food and drinks, from their scents there was a half-horse demon but he looked more normal compared to Jinenji, then there was a moth demon, raccoon-dog demon and a leopard demon, they had placed the beverages down in front of us all and gave a slight bow to Hikaru and went to leave the cave.
"Kaito can you stay here please" Hikaru said "Yes sir" the leopard demon said "Kagome I'd like you to meet Kaito, Kaito is currently fighting for Hana's heart" Hikaru said "Sir they are many who wish to court and be Hana's mate" Kaito said. "Yes that is true but I just thought I'd let you know since Kagome is here, I want you to keep an eye on Hana she may find this difficult to accept" Hikaru said at least I'm not the only with guys trying to win me over "Of course sir, is that all sir?" Kaito said. "Yes you may go back to your duties but I want someone to inform me as soon as Hana returns" Hikaru said "Of course, it was nice meeting you Kagome, don't worry about Hana I'm sure she'll come around" Kaito said "Thanks, it was nice meeting you too" I said. Kaito left the cave "So shall we all dig in to some food? I see the little has already started" Hikaru said I looked to Shippo seeing him scuff down some food "Shippo…" I said Hikaru laughed "Don't worry about it, kids will be kids now help yourselves" Hikaru said, we had all started to grab something to eat.
