To Chain the Unchained

Chapter 1

A Broken Beginning

22 years earlier, Avalon Hospital, San Champion, America

"Takahashi, what are we going to do? You know the council will try to take this child from us, they will wish for her to take my place." A young woman with blond hair and blue eyes whispered afraid. She placed her hands on her swollen stomach which held her unborn child, no their unborn child. For two Duel Masters to have been in a relationship was forbidden let alone for them to have a child. Both of them knew this yet that did not stop the love they felt from growing stronger.

"My love, they will not get our child, my sister has offered it sanctuary. She will raise our baby as her own, giving it all the love and protection it will need. The council won't be able to do a thing, you will have the baby and my sister will take her or him home with her to Japan. I know it is hard but I would rather our child, our precious baby be raised in love than in battle." The handsome man said gently. How he wished there was another way, a way for them to keep their baby but in the world they lived in it just wasn't possible. The council would raise their child to fear and hate the Kaiju, to treat them as nothing more than slaves and to take over her mother's position as Fire Master.

"Takahashi, do you promise me that our baby will be safe from them? Do you swear this baby will grow up free from battles and war? Do you swear?" Her words were pained. The contractions were closer together now and the baby would be arriving anytime now. What scared her was the fact that the baby was almost three months premature. She could feel how weak its manna was, so looking into her lover's worried eyes she gave a weak smile. If she could save their child and ensure that it would be healthy then she didn't need to live.

"Of course I swear. Our baby will be loved and safe and never have to fight. Our baby will have only happiness and memories of ice cream and toys and once a few years have passed we'll go and visit my sister and see for ourselves just how happy our baby is." Takahashi tried to keep is voice strong, she was his best friend and his first love still he knew that she was scared. The Nature Master nearly jumped out of his skin when she screamed out in pain. It was time, the baby was coming.

"Lis-listen to me Takahash-shi. You have to pro-promise me that you will ke-keep your word. I wo-won't be able t-to make it b-but the baby w-will. Don't ever stop loving. You wi-will find the one you're me-meant to be with." It was with those final words that the Fire Master began to glow softly giving what was left of her manna to their child. The doctors forced him back and out of the room as her life began to fade and all he could do was cry. It was the shrill cry of a baby that brought him out of the fog. Looking up he saw the doctor step out of the room with a small bundle in his arms and slowly approach him.

"Mr. Okamoto I'm sorry to say we could only save your daughter. We tried everything but she was too far gone too quickly. If you wish you may hold her, or we can put her in the infant room until you're ready. I know the timing is bad but you will also have to fill out a few forms for us. I am truly sorry for your loss." The doctor's voice was soft and tired. Takahashi knew he had done everything he could just like he knew it was her final wish for their baby to live. So despite his heartbreak he held out his arms. The elderly doctor slowly placed his daughter into them carefully instructing him on how to hold her and as he looked down upon her small form he saw the blue eyes of the woman who gave her life for their child.

"Kagome. Her name will be Kagome Kasai Okamoto Higurashi and I will be signing over all custody rights to my younger sister and her husband. They are in the waiting room if you would please bring the needed paperwork and meet us there I would greatly appreciate it." Without waiting for another moment the man held his daughter closer and walked away to where her new family was waiting.

"Kagome, my little Kasai, know that no matter where you go in life you will never be alone, for your mother and I love you with all that we are and will always be watching over you. I am giving you up for your own protection, so that you can live a life of joy and bliss, not war and blood. You are the daughter of both Fire and Nature; never forget that you are not a half-breed but a hybrid. I love you my sweet baby girl." Takahashi felt the tears fall from his eyes as the last paper was signed and his little Kasai was taken into the arms of his little sister.

"We will take great care of her and love her as our own. I love you brother." With those parting words the young newlyweds gathered their belongings and left taking his little girl with them. Even though he knew it was necessary Takahashi had never felt more pain and loss than on that day. The day he lost his lover, his friend and his daughter all at once.

"I promise I will continue to love and I swear to you my love that our daughter will have peace!" With those whispered words that Nature Master began his way back to the temple to tell the others that not only had their companion fallen but her baby as well. They would never know of his role or his daughter. The Nature Master only hoped his precious Koi's younger twin sister was ready to take up the mantle as Fire Master.

16 years later, Feudal Era, Japan

"InuYasha look out!" At the shout of his name the half-demon barely managed to doge his opponents attack. They were fighting a badger demon that had been given a power boost from the Shikon shard in its back. So far InuYasha was losing because Tessaiga wasn't responding to him again. Of course this simply meant that the young miko would have to save his butt. Honestly she was getting sick and tired of being called weak and useless only to have to try and control her freakishly large reiki to save his ass.

"Ok now take a deep breath, line up your arrow; focus your energy into the point and fire!" The miko whispered to herself before following the process. The badger howled in pain before turning to ash the Shikon shard falling to the ground. The young miko couldn't help but feel proud of her work, after all she had been training herself for the past year and had come a long way from where she started out. However her pride soon faded as the grumbling of her half-demon companion reached her ears, honestly did he ever not complain?

"What the Hell wench? It took you long enough to kill that damn demon, you really are worthless aren't you?" The hanyou bark out rudely. Honestly he made it sound as if she let the damn badger kick his ass. Their team-mates Sango; a demon slayer, Miroku; a monk, Shippo; a fox demon kit and Kilala; a twin-tailed fire cat demon looked on in shock not believing what InuYasha was saying.

"Excuse me, I'm not the one who just got his butt whooped by an overgrown rodent. I'm not the one who told everyone that I had it under control only to lose so don't talk to me like I am. I didn't have to save your sorry ass but I did and yeah know what InuYasha I really don't know why. All you ever do is insult me, ridicule me and treat me like shit so why don't we make this easy for everyone and split up. I'll go my way and you go yours. You can bring in Kikyo to be your jewel shard detector and your bitch because I am through!" With those final words Kagome turned on her heel and walked away. It may have appeared to be a sudden choice but it really wasn't.

Over the last few months the young woman had come to the decision that she would leave and gather the shards of the Shikon jewel herself. Her love for InuYasha fizzled out within the first few months of knowing him and Kikyo's revival only solidified her feelings that it was a mere crush. Sango understood as did Miroku, both of whom were tired of seeing their friend being abused. Shippo however was the most understanding of all, simply saying he only wanted her to be happy because he loved her. So among the friends it was decided that Kagome would leave and when she did Kilala would go with her as protection and a companion.

At first the half-breed just starred at her open-mouthed her words not really sinking in. Sango simply handed off her backpack and gave her a hug in which Miroku and Shippo soon joined. It wasn't until she shot one last glare over her shoulder that he seemed to snap out of his stupor. It was at that moment that all Hell broke loose. He moved so fast that she was sure if it wasn't for her instincts he would have gotten her but just like every other time that pink barrier shot to life around her and sent him flying back into the trees.

"InuYasha what are you doing?! If Kagome wants to leave you can't stop her and if you try you'll have to go through me." Sango declared lifting her hiraikotsu into a defensive position. Miroku took his place by her side silently stating that the Taijiya wasn't the only one he would have to face. Even little Shippo bravely stood by her sister in arms, a scowl on his little face.

"She can't just leave she has a job to do! Not only that but she wouldn't last five second on her own and even if she did manage to get any jewel shards Naraku would just kill her and take them. I refuse to let her go and cost me the jewel." The man howled in rage. Kagome was his, he needed her so that Kikyo could have a body of flash and bone, like hell he was going to just go and let herself get killed. Still the more he thought about it the more the situation worked in his favor.

Kagome would leave, get into some kind of trouble and realize that she needs him. She'll go back to wanting him to protect her and never leave him again. Once that happened he would use her to get the jewel, become a full-blooded demon and then sacrifice Kagome's soul so that Kikyo could have her body. He would get what he wanted and who he wanted with the looks he wanted. It was perfect.

"Fine then wench leave and see how long it takes before you come running back begging me to save you. Go on I won't stop you but I will take you up on the suggestion on bringing Kikyo into the group. She's much better than you anyway." The hanyou sneered. The others looked at him like he was crazy, before turning to see how their friend would react. To everyone's surprise she simply turned and kept walking. Kagome wasn't going to fall for his baiting and she wasn't going to come back, ever.

Calling to Kilala she stopped briefly before the feline transformed into her larger size. Climbing into her the Miko whispered one word before the two took off into the sky. Before Kagome started traveling with only Kilala she had to go home and stock up. She also felt like she should tell her mom that there weren't going to be any cute doggy-eared grandbabies in her future. It wasn't long before the duo landed before the Bone Eaters well and the sixteen year old dismounted.

"Come on Kilala, I'll bring you with me but first I should warn you, my era will be loud and smell horrible. I'm sure mama won't mind you being there though, she likes cats even demon ones. So whenever you're ready just jump into my arms and we'll go." The young woman didn't have to wait long before the neko transformed back into her smaller self and jumped into her welcoming arms. Slowly standing on the edge of the well the Miko jumped.
