A New Beginning
Chapter 2
The whole group spun around hearing the sudden noise, the trees rustling uneasily. A figure crouched own among the trees, black covering it's form. A sword was clear at one side, claws the only other thing obvious about this one. It's aura was locked. The person slowly pushed itself up, reaching about Sango's height. The hood that was covering it's face lifted a little, "Impressive, beat the bears without to much damage it looks like."
From the voice could tell it was a female. Inuyasha growled lowly, hand on his sword again, "Who the hell are you?" he roared
"Calm down, I don't want to harm you or your pack. You don't attack me and I won't have to attack back." she said, "I'm only looking for answers myself."
Miroku put a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder, "What do you mean by answers?" Miroku asked, "Do you have business with us?"
"I might." she shrugged, "I'm looking for Inyasha."
Miroku smiled widely, "Well what luck, that would be our friend here."
Inuyasha growled lowly, "What could you possibly want with me?"
A pale clawed hand reached up and moved the hood, her hair was midnight black and flowed to about waist level with deep blue highlights, eyes a deep purple color with an amber ring around them, and a pair of black dog ears on top her head both having small silver loop earrings that looke like claws, two jagged scars coming up at an angle on the right side of her face both a deep purple color, the black cloak covered the rest of her, "Well, brother, I was hoping we could help each other out."
Things seemed to freeze there. They where all aware of his half brother of course, but from what Myoga had said Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru where the only inu demons left. How was it possible?
Sango stepped up first, Kirara seemingly fine around this newcomer, "We know that Inuyasha has a half brother but we were never aware of this." Sango said, "How is it that you know of him?"
"Honestly I only just found out myself." she said
"How the hell do we know this isn't a trick!" Inuyasha yelled, fists clenching, "My father was with one one else!"
The girl looked amused if anything, "Scent should say enough." she stated, "What reason would I have to lie?"
"So you're not working for Naraku?" Shippo asked hesitantly
She tensed, eyes narrowing at that statement, "I would never work for the likes of him." she growled harshly
Kouga growled lowly in frustration, "For the fucks sake, what the hells your name anyways?" he growled, "You're scent isn't just inu, your a mix. There ain't to many kumori mix breeds left."
"What's a Kurmori?" Kagome asked
Miroku got between them, "How about we start over, I'm sure you've had a long journey my dear and we want some rest as well." he said, hand starting innocent for once, "Now if I may ask your name?"
She sighed, "My names Mika."
When another rustling came from the trees and a small black blur jumped from from tree tops, landing on Mika's shoulder. It was a small cat demon just like Kirara, only different coloring. Fur a deep lack, eyes a deep blue and a deep blue ring around both tails. "This is Shadow." she laughed, "Didn't think you'd get here so fast."
"Wow, she looks just like Kirara!" Shippo exclaimed
"I would expect so." Mika laughed, "I suspect there from the same clan."
Kouga just growled again, "I'll see you losers later, I've heard enough of this crap." he snorted, "See you later, Kagome."
Before Inuyasha could snap the ookami demon took off in a twister. Well that was one person they didn't have to deal with. "How about we set up camp and talk." Kagome suggested, "It's getting dark."
The started a fire and sat back, waiting to hear this one. Kirara hesitantly went over to the other fire cat. Shadow jumped down, meowing happily and licked the other cats head Kirara did the same. Mika seemed reluctant to sit, "Well get on with it already." Inuyasha growled, she just snorted, "They were right when they said you're a childish jackass."
"Why you little..."
"Don't make me say it Inuyasha." Kagome threatened
He sat like a trained dog, making her laugh. "Well lets start this over. I found out about all this about two years ago. I'm your younger half sister, Inuyasha."
"How can that be? My father died the night I was born." Inuyasha said smugly, arms crossed.
She rolled her eyes, "It seems two nights before that, he and my mother made some sort of connection."
Inuyasha's ears fell and the smug look disappeared, "If I may ask, don't think I ever got any names."
"Oh of course." Mirok laughed, "That's Kagome, the demon slayer is Sango, then you know Kirara, the fox kit is Shippo, of course there's Inuyasha, and I'm Miroku."
"Now what's your story, huh?" Inyasha growled, "How do you know about Naraku?"
She tensed again, "I can't tell them everything." she thought, "Not now."
She undid the silver clasp that held he cloak around her, letting it fall to the floor. Now revealing the body of a fighter. In a black sleeveless under shirt and black pants. Feet tapped up, scars where scattered. It was clear that she had been on her own probably just as long as her half brother. The sword at her side radiated power, the sheath jet black with a purple lettering, the handle wrapped in black leather.
"I was taken in by the eastern lord, before he was assainated..." she said lowly, "Naraku, I have my reasons to want him dead..."
Flash back
A young 13 year old hanyou wondered there the huge black halls, knowing the lord of the house wanted to speak to her. Getting to the study and saw the old man working in the dim light. He looked up, bright red eyes shining, "Ah Mika, glad you came." he said
"What's wrong?" she asked, seeing the distress in his eyes
She spotted the sword on the table, her eyes narrowed it was like the blade was calling to her. He followed her eyes, "I see you see what's rightfully yours." he crackled, "This is the legendary sword of shadows, Kokuei."
"How is it rightfully mine?" she asked hesitantly, she knew she was an orphan but that was about all she knew.
"You're daughter to one of the most power inu demons to have ever walked this earth my child, Inutasio. I've known for so long but I've wanted to keep you here." he said sadly, "Your father died I suspect only weeks after you where conceived, you have to older half brothers. Sesshomaru leader of the western lands, and Inuyasha. We're not really sure where he resides."
Mika looked more shocked then anything, she had siblings? Let alone who her father was. "Why are you telling me this now?" she asked, "Is something going on?"
"You know that the council wants me to give up my spot but once someone else, I'm afraid that you might get hurt." he said, "So I want to you take this and try and find one of your brothers. I know you and I know you'll be able to make it on your own."
"What about Shadow?" she asked
"She wants to go with you." he said, "Don't worry, she would never leave your side, my dear."
End Flash back
It wasn't the complete truth, only a very small part of it. She didn't know who these people really were or what they were really after. From the corner of her eye saw Shadow and Kirara curled up together, she'd see what would happen with them.
"So you beleive me or not?" she asked, seeing her half brothers skeptic look, "It's not like I wanna be a a permenant part of your pack, I just want Naraku dead and I can't do it on my own."
"Of course your welcome to come along with us." Kagome said, grinning widely
"What?!" Inuyasha yelled, "We don't need some other useless bitch coming along with us!"
Mika glared in his direction, "Useless huh?" she snorted, "Guess I'll just have to prove otherwise won't I?"
"You ain't coming." he snapped
Miroku whacked the back of Inuyasha's head with his staff, "Must you be so rude Inuyasha," Miroku said, "You're more then welcome we could use all the help we could get."
Mika smirked a little bit, "Glad that someone agrees." she shrugged, "You'll get used to me after a while Inu."
"Don't call me that!" he growled lowly
The rest of the gang laughed at that, most didn't try and mess with him like that, she didn't seem afraid what so ever. "This is doing to me intresting."
(I swear looking over this chapter I was hitting myself, now I'm much happier with it. And it seems some of my long time reviews have still stuck with me and I thank you for that and the chapters will get longer, no worries. And there will be one extra chapter that I promised in the old story but was never added, I will make up for that and I'll be sure that it'll be worth the wait. As always, tells me what ya think.)
