Well, me again with a new chapter. Denzo and Takara now know they and Inuyasha are half-demon, what now? let's find out. Inuyasha doesn't belong me and never will.

Chapter #6 Stories and Acceptance

Takara sat on the floor in her brother's dorm room and stared at her now claw-tipped hands. She couldn't believe this was happening. She was hunging out with Denzo and their new friend, Kumiko at a party when suddenly everyone started to pass out mysteriously and she too joined them. Then she woke up to find herself in Denzo's dorm room and her father was there and to found out that she, Denzo and their father were half-demon.

How that possible? Demons and magic exist only in fairy tales not real life.

Flashback

"How can we be half-demon?" Denzo demanded. "Demons don't exist."

"They do exist." Their father said. "Now sit down and listen."

Denzo glared at Inuyasha as he sat down on the bed beside his sister.

"Now if you two are done, I'll tell you our heritage. I was never completely human nor was I from this time. I'm half-demon from the Feudal Era. A result of a human and a demon falling in love with one another. It was considered a disgrace and half-demons are treated badly by everyone. Even their own family on both sides.

My father, your grandfather, was a powerful demon. Mother was mortal like Kagome. A daughter of a rich lord. Both met and fell in love, not caring what anyone thinked. After I was born, Father died protecting me and Mother. We lived outside a village near the Western Lands where Father used to rule over when he was alive. Mother died when I was nine and I lived on my own until I met my first love Kikyo, a priestess from a village near here. She was guardian of a Sacred Jewel, a powerful gem that can increase a demons' power."

"What happened to her?" Takara asked.

"She was killed by a demon who wanted the Sacred Jewel to become corrupted with evil. I was sealed away a by her spell for fifty years until your mother freed me and we've been together since."

Silence hung in the air for a few minutes before Denzo rolled his eyes and said. "Please, Dad. You expect us to believe that? How did Mom meet you if you're really from five hundred years ago?"

"Remember the well behind the house?" Inuyasha asked. "It's a gateway from this world to my world. I had no family there so I came here and married your mother."

"That would explain how we aren't allowed in there." Denzo grumbled. He still couldn't believe what he was hearing. It was complete nonsense.

"Now I told my story, what did you mean by you had dreams?"

"Well, it...ow."

Takara started to speak when her brother elbowed her in the shoulder.

"What?"

"Shut up."

"Let her talk!" Inuyasha snarled.

Takara rubbed her shoulder and glared at Denzo for a second before she continued.

"Both of our dreams are simliar for some reason. In my dream, was walking on the shrine grounds back home when I pulled into the well house by something. Once I was inside, the doors closed on me. I tried to get out but the doors were locked. Then you appeared, will...you with long fangs and red eyes, you walked out of the shadows and told me I knew nothing about my heritage. So, he cut off my wristband and I transformed into this."

She held up her clawed hand as she said that.

"What happened next?"

"The mon...you told me to go to the well to see what he was talking about eariler. I went to the well, looked in and saw myself...like this."

"What about you, Denzo?"

Denzo groaned. He didn't want to talk about his dreams. But in the end, started to say."

"Well,...my dream is simliar to mine. Only I heard Takara screaming and went into the well house cause I thought she was in there. Damn was I wrong. You showed up as a monster and told I knew nothing about you. Then he slashed off my wristband and I turned into a monster."

"Half-demon."

"Whatever, Dad." Denzo scowled. "He told me to see my reflection in the well. So, I went and saw not only my altered appearance. But Takara as well and she was crying."

Inuyasha bit the inside of his mouth as he listened to his children's stories. So, they saw my full-demon form and they were half-demon. Were the dreams telling what they are before he and Kagome plan to?

"So, how do we change back?" Takara asked. "I can't go around campus like this."

"Just put your wristbands back on." Inuyasha answered. "Do you still have them?"

Denzo and Takara nodded.

"Good. Don't lose them, they're the only things that can hide your demon blood and make you human."

End Flashback

"Hey, Takara. I got your wristband."

Takara turned to see a human Denzo walk into the room, holding her wristband in his hand.

"Thanks." Takara said as she took it. She put it and felt herself transform back to her human form once she closed the clasp. Once the transformation was complete. She looked down at her clawless hands. She was glad but at the same time disappointed.

"What's wrong, Takara?" Denzo answered. "You glad you're human now?"

"Denzo, do you believe this is real?"

Denzo shook his head. "I'm still not sure." he said. "I still think this is nonsense. But we saw it with our own eyes. We're really half-demon."

Takara nodded with agreement. She fingered the sword emblem on her wristband before she said goodbye and went to her dorm room. Once she was in her room, she locked the door and stood in front of a full length mirror that hung next to her door. She stared at her reflection as she removed the wristband and watched her image slowly change in front of her eyes. She studied her reflection for a few minutes before she rubbed her dog ears.

It was no dream. It was real.

Very real.

Sigh another chapter done. What will happened next. Stay tuned for the next installment of Secrets from the Ashes of Time.
