I don't own the characters of Inuyasha. Some of my OC's are based off some characters from Naruto shippuden.
Thank you to all of the people who have followed, favorited, reviewed, or took the time to read my story. It means the world to me!
Sorry I had to edit this chapter. That's why it was added again.
I hope you enjoy this chapter! :)
There are worse games to play.
Flashback: 13 years ago (Souta was a newborn)
The rain was pouring down as a five year old Kagome laid in the fetal position in a puddle.
She was just on her way home. Why wouldn't they leave her alone?
Six older demon children were circled around her.
Kagome was crying.
"Ha, your worthless. You can't even be as pretty as your sister." One said.
"You and your siblings should be half breeds since your mom is a human." Another said.
"Your no better than the dirt on the bottom of my boot weakling!" A demon boy said
A swift kick in the gut. Kagome didn't know who it came from.
Kagome cried out.
A kick to the face.
She was powerless. She had barely started training on anything.
Kagome didn't know what hit her as she was knocked unconscious.
Kagome woke up to the children running off as they screamed.
She rolled to her back to quickly sit up.
It was too quick as she got lightheaded.
"Woah, don't rush it." She heard a boy's voice. She looked towards the boy who had light blue eyes.
They were captivating.
"I'm Katsuo, and I promise those boys won't mess with you anymore." He said with the kindest smile she had ever seen.
He extended his hand out to help Kagome up.
She stood.
"I'm Kagome."
Katsuo smiled.
From that moment on, Katsuo was her closest friend.
Kagome sat next to her brother in Kaede's hut.
"What did he leave us?" Kagome asked.
Kagome and Souta sat facing Kaede as she sat a small wooden box in front of them.
Sesshomaru stood in the corner.
Kagome opened the box and first pulled out one of four journals in the box. Three of the journals had each siblings name on it.
Souta reached in and got his. Kagome followed suit.
There was also a necklace in each journal. It was the clans symbol. A metal dagger about an inch long. The string was made from leather.
Kagome and Souta put theirs around their neck. It hung right above Kagome's chest
Kikyo's journal and neckless was still in the box.
Kagome opened her journal and pulled out a small letter.
"He left a letter in this journal." Kagome said towards everyone in the room.
Kaede nodded. "He wanted you to read it aloud. Go ahead dear." She said.
Kagome quickly opened the piece of paper and looked at it.
Kagome,
If your reading this, I'm dead. I have left you, Souta, and Kikyo a journal of my past and your blood line. It also contains stories of your birth and my favorite memories of each of you.
The necklaces have a purpose of which you will learn in time.
Beware of the one with the baboon mask. He stalked me around my last days. I had got an unusual feeling of being followed. It was confirmed soon after. That's why I am going ahead to write everything down. He was the cause of my death.
I will try to defeat him. Maybe I am just getting paranoid. I don't know.
By now a Prophecy may have come to pass. Has Souta lost his left hand? If so Kaede has another letter for you to read aloud.
I have spoke with Lord Inutaisho. He knows my plans if he has.
I'm so sorry you all had to learn this from me this way. I know that I would not have had the nerve to tell you in person. I couldn't risk putting you in danger. Maybe I'm just being selfish. I love you all. Know that I will always watch over you.
Love forever and always.
Your father
Kain
"Damn it!" Kagome yelled as she punched the floor.
She brought her hands to her face and started to sob.
"If he knew his death was coming, why didn't he fucking tell us?!"
Souta reached over and hugged his sister.
Kaede and Sesshomaru didn't say anything while the siblings cried.
They were letting themselves get it out as they waited. Not minding one bit.
For some odd reason Sesshomaru found himself feeling a bit of sadness for Kagome and Souta. He almost wanted to comfort Kagome. But quickly brushed off the feeling.
When all was calm Kaede handed her the next letter.
She unfolded it and started to read aloud.
The prophecy,
I will start from the beginning of the Kinzoku clan.
In the beginning of time two humans fell in love. One royal, the other a servant. The parents of the royal human would not have it. They would not give up their daughter to one of their own servants.
Little did they know the royal female was pregnant.
When the truth came out the two lovers ran away together.
The parents would never forgive the male. Unfortunately, the mother was a dark priestess. She cursed the male into only having a metal body. He would never die. He no longer had the body of a mortal. The transformation was a long and painful one. The curse was to let him suffer until it was broken.
He would watch as his lover, his child, his grandchildren, and so on die of old age.
The priestess did not know that through that curse, she had started the Kinzoku clan.
Their child could metal bend. Even if it was already conceived. When the curse was placed. He didn't have a metal body. He was born from the combination of a human and a metal being as genetics saw it. It was part of the curse.
Therefore, the metal bending demons known as the Kinzoku clan was born.
Though none of us see it as a curse now, it was meant to be one.
The male actually broken his curse and died about the time I was born.
The Kinzoku clan is a metal bending clan with many abilities. The clan as a whole is currently hidden away. They on the brink of extinction. Lord Inutaisho knows their location. He has protected them.
Due to us being outsiders because of my choosing in mate, They would not accept you unless they knew you three were the ones the prophecy spoke of. No matter how painful it will be. I have believed it since the day Souta was born.
The prophecy states that a Kinzoku clan member will have one son and two other children.
The son will be the reincarnation of the first clan member that of which had the curse placed upon him.
He will have a great amount of power. He will be heir to the hidden clan. The parent that belongs to the Kinzoku clan will die at a young age. Soon after the son would lose his hand. If this happens then it will give the son access to more abilities he would possess within. Also allowing his enemies to think he is weak.
The other children will be of the same sex male or female. They will become rivals at a young age. One kind the other evil. When the time comes for the brother to have mastered his power the two siblings will fight to the death.
If the good sibling remains standing, the clan will prosper and grow.
If the evil is the one to live, the clan will fall. Dieing off within mere moons. Being protected or not.
What ever sibling is left standing will help guide their brother in leading their clan.
The prophecy can not change.
I know Kagome will try to. That is what makes her the kind sibling. I know how you feel. It is a truth you will have to accept.
I know you all are siblings, I helped your mother raise you all. But I will greet one of you in the afterlife very soon.
I'm very sorry it had to turn out this way. I can't explain to you my regret. I guess that's why I didn't. I couldn't fathom the idea of losing any of you.
Most likely Kikyo is not among you. Please insure she receives her book. Hitomi more than likely knows of the prophecy therefore has warned Kikyo and they are preparing as we speak.
Be careful.
love
Your father.
Souta looked at Kagome as she folded the letter back up in silence.
Kagome looked at Kaede.
"May we keep this?" She asked gesturing towards the letter.
Kaede nodded.
Kagome stood. Her bangs covering her eyes.
The sadness was pouring from her.
"I can't kill Kikyo.." She paused and turned towards the exit of the hut.
"Souta, when your wrist heals I will show you how to create a metal hand from your wrist. I refuse to let you be at disadvantage. You should be fully recovered in a week. We will start then." She said as she left the hut.
Souta sat there looking at the floor wrapping his head around the fact that in a short time he would lose a sister.
Which would it be? At the moment Kikyo had the advantage.
3 days later. Kagome was fully recovered.
Kagome stood in a clearing just outside of Edo.
She focused a small amount of spiritual energy into the palm of her hand.
It looked like a lightning ball. Sparking out of control.
It reminded her of Katsuo's lightning.
She watched it for a moment as her mind faded into a memory.
Flashback. 1 year ago.
Katsuo and Kagome sat in a clearing in the woods just outside of Konoha
Katsuo had his head in her lap.
Kagome watched him as he watched the clouds while playing with his hair.
Kagome felt butterflies in her gut.
They had met at age five. From then on they were inseparable. At age fourteen they had started courting. It had been the best three years of her life. He was everything she had ever wanted in a mate. Now all they had to do was mate, then she could be with him forever.
Kagome bent down and kissed him. Both of their eyes closed as they were into their kiss. To Kagome, at that moment all that existed was Katsuo. He was her world. The love of her life.
He placed his hand gently behind her head. Drawing her in closer.
After a moment he sat up. Their lips not breaking apart for a moment.
They had never made love. No. Katsuo has plans for that on the night he mates her.
He wanted to make sure how he felt. He loved Kagome.
But, something was missing.
Kagome's memory jumped forward a week.
She was coming out to meet Katsuo in their usual spot. He didn't know she was coming to meet him early.
That's when she heard it. She just wanted to crawl in a hole and die.
"Oh Katsuo! Yes! Harder please!" She heard Kikyo's voice.
It was very clear what they were doing. She wasn't close enough to see them.
She clenched her fists as Metal formed around them. She didn't even realize.
At that moment she had two choices.
One turn the other cheek and leave him.
Or
Two track that motherfucker down and beat the ever loving hell out of him.
She went with her second choice.
Kagome ran at full speed towards their location.
When she bursted into the clearing, his pants were still at his ankles. His dick was still hanging out. It was clear they were finished.
Before he even had the chance to pull them up, Kagome came at him with a metal fist and sent him flying with a punch in the face.
When he landed, it was on his back. He was very exposed and unconscious. Kagome let him lay there.
Cheating good for nothing bastard!
Kagome turned towards Kikyo. She had just got her clothes back on.
Kikyo had a slight look of fear in her eyes. Barely noticeable.
"Why am I not shocked that you would fuck him? I hope it was worth it to you. I never got the chance. But now that he's been inside of you, I don't want any part of that bastard. I thought that I could at least trust you not to fuck him. I guess not." Kagome turned and started to walk off.
"Kagome! I'm so sorry!" Kikyo yelled after her sister.
Kagome stopped and didn't make any move to look at her sister.
She scoffed. "I'm sure you are." Kagome said before walking away.
Her heart was broken. Never again would she love another. Kikyo would just fuck them to. It was over.
Kagome came back to reality as her hand was slightly burning now.
Her anger came off in waves.
"Woman," She heard someone behind her.
Imagining Katsuo behind her, Kagome turned and yelled while throwing the ball of spiritual energy at whoever was actually there.
She wasn't thinking. She was angry.
By the time she realized what she had done, there was an explosion.
When the dust cleared, no one was in it's wake.
Maybe she just imagined it?
She started to cry. Why did this have to happen to her? Why couldn't she be happy for once?
"You need to be careful who you let you anger out on. That could have easily been a dead Souta laying there."
Kagome whipped around to face Sesshomaru as she bowed.
"Please forgive me milord." Kagome begged.
Sesshomaru stood about ten feet from her.
"Rise." He commanded. She did.
"Your pain, I know not why you possess it. It matters not. You are a demon. You cannot let your emotions become your weakness. Your enemies will use it against you." He paused as he got in a defensive stance.
Her eyes widened. What was he doing? Was he gonna kill her? Was this it? Was her suffering over?
"This is no business of mine. I will be your Allie. This pain does not need to fester. Use it as fuel while we spar. I would like to see how strong you truly are." Sesshomaru commanded.
Kagome looked at him questioningly. He nodded.
Kagome then realized he was serious.
"Why do you want to help me?" She asked.
He gave a light smirk.
"I have a idiotic half brother, my father does the same for myself." He stated.
Kagome nodded.
In that second. She extended metal out of the palm of her hands to form fists.
'Thank you for this Lord Sesshomaru.'
She ran towards him.
With full force she swung her fist.
She was not going to hold back!
