Chapter 50: March of 1981
"Kagome! Now!" Inu Heki yelled.
"Right! Infinite Aura Blast!" She shot at the youkai. It lost an arm.
"You will pay!" The youkai said and hit Inu Heki's shoulder. He fell to the ground and started bleeding.
"Father! No!" She said taking out her katana. Her eyes flashed for a second before holding it. She unsheathed it and turned it into a sword. "Sapphire Blaze!"
"You can not defeat me!" The youkai said again.
"Yes I can! Go!" She yelled releasing an arrow from her bow.
"NO!" The youkai yelled and was destroyed.
"Father! Father! Speak to me please! Father!" She screamed running to him.
"Ka - go - me…" He whispered and looked weakly at her. She started to cry and pushed down his haori. There was a massive wound, maybe even un-reparable by her, she gasped.
"Father. I don't care if it messes up time. I'm bringing you my house. Now. Hold on. Just a little longer." She said picking him up and didn't care if their youkai features' were showing, many people gasped when they saw her run at an incredible speed. She ran to the familiar shrine. She knocked on the door when she got to the top. Her mother opened the door and gasped.
"Who - who are you?"
"There's not much time. Please I will explain later. Please let us come in." She said crying.
"Yes of course." Her mother said. Kagome ran up to her mother's room. It was like it was when she last saw it, except a little brighter. She laid him on the bed.
Her mother came in the room.
"Please, get the first aid kit. Quickly!"
She ran out and got it. Kagome meanwhile tried to heal her father's wound.
'Kagome, you must hurry. I'm gonna lose it soon.'
'No, you won't. I'm here.'
Her mother came back in and Kagome immediately went through it and got what she needed and started to work on her father.
"Who are you? And what are you doing with my husband?"
"Listen, this is going to be very odd. But it is really real. I am your daughter." She said still working on her father. "I have known this day will happen for 500 years."
"How are you my daughter?"
"In this era, 15 years ahead, which is where I am from I fell into the well and met a hanyou. I am the reincarnation of a miko named Kikyo. This will be easier to explain, have you read The Tale of The Miko and The Hanyou?"
"Yes."
"I am Kagome from that. My mate is named Inuyasha, he was a hanyou. I wished upon the Shikon no Tama 500 years ago to control our youkai blood. As you can see this is my father…" She shook her head. "I had a dream back then that he died in the battle we just came from. He tried to kill you and went berserk. I didn't want that to happen to you now so I came with him to the mountains. You are pregnant with me now. I can smell it. Please, I want to keep every part of history right except for this part. I will not let this happen to you two. Father don't move." She said and tried to heal him again. "God, why can't my miko powers work when I'm a youkai. Senmo Kengen Haburi Tenka." She changed to a human. "Please work." She started to heal him again. "There we go. Dad, stay still… oh no you don't. Mom, hold onto him. Please."
She held onto him his eyes opened wide and they started to flicker.
"Dad! No! Inu Heki! Come back! Just a second longer! Come on Dad! Hold on!… Oh god why me!" She said his eyes turned red. "Mom, I'm sorry, this is the only way." She said and sat him up and hugged him, she snaked her arms around his waist.
'Ka - go - me'
"I'm sorry father. it's the only way to keep you here." She said and kissed him passionately. He relaxed and then opened his eyes then growled. "Well, its your fault. You're not the one hanging on." She said and got up from him, then laid him down again. "You know that's the only way. Your youkai loves me, I can't help that." She said healing him again.
"His youkai likes you?"
"When you mated him, did his eyes turn red?"
"Yes, he said that was normal."
"That's his youkai. 500 years ago I was forced to mate him and he must of really liked it because his normal self can leave me alone, but not his youkai. Just a minute longer father. Come on… hold on for me."
She healed him almost all the way and sat on the bed. "God, now I see why you died before I was born. Just relax dad. You're fine now."
"Why did you not save him when you were born before, I guess."
"I don't know. I never got to speak to my older self. But now I either have to lie or not be around when I'm born."
"You can lie. I won't mind. I'll say you were my first child."
Kagome smiled. "Thanks. You gonna be all right father."
'Yes. I'll tell you other wise later.'
"All right. Just don't go youkai, please. I've had enough for today. I'm not Kaede and never was. Plus I don't have half the herbs available in this era." She said and looked towards the well. "It can't be. Not this early, no."
"What?"
"The well. That's how I went back 500 years, it can't open this early, you're not even a month pregnant. Why would it open this early? I'm not going, because It'll be my fault that he does go on a rampage when I go down. I do want to remember what Inuyasha looked like pinned there, but not yet."
'Kagome?'
"Yes Father?"
'Go if you want to, I'll be fine.'
"No, I'm not leaving you. I've already almost lost you a few times too many in my life time. Lets go downstairs we can talk more about this. Is grandpa around?"
"No, he's out. Why?"
"He hates youkai. Trust me. And if you ever have another child that's youkai or hanyou you better kick him out. Trust me. He'll kill them."
She got wide eyed and went down stairs with Kagome. "Would you like anything Kagome?"
"No. I just need to sit down for a minute. Henjo Tenka Kengen."
'Muteki?'
'Yes mother?'
'Get Inuyasha to come to my house, tell him that exactly and he'll know what it means. Tell him now.'
'Yes. I will.'
"My mate is going to come over here for a bit so if anything happens to me he can control me."
"How can he control you?" Her mother asked sitting down.
"He can take control of my youkai. He'll just wake me up and bring me back. He'll be here soon. Don't be frightened by him. He can get a little rough. You liked him though when you first saw him in my time. You can rub his ears probably. He might let you do that." She turned her head toward the door. "I hear him coming now. I'll bring him in." She got up and went to the door and opened it. "About time mate." She heard her daughter say.
A silver haired youkai with purple stripes and a crescent mark on his forehead walked in; he had amber eyes. He looked about low 20's.
"You must be Inuyasha. Kagome has told me about you."
He growled and looked at his mate. "Nothing bad. Seriously. I just need you to keep me in line if I loose it when I work on my father. I'm not going to loose him."
"All right. I trust you."
'Kagome… Its coming back!'
'Hold on father!'
She ran up stairs. "Inuyasha get up here!" She said running up the stairs. He followed her.
"Father, what's wrong?" She said sliding his haori off easily she gasped and Inuyasha heard it. He came in the room. He wound had bled through the bandages. She laid him down flat and took the bandages off. Inuyasha held her waist.
"Thanks mate. Senmo Kengen Haburi Tenka." She said and tried to heal him again. She healed him all the way this time. "Don't go to sleep father, just rest. I'm afraid you'll wake up a youkai and we won't know it. I'll be back. You stay here for a second Inuyasha." She said and walked out of the room and went down stairs.
"Mom, do you have any aspirin?"
"Yes, I'll get it."
"Thank you."
She came out of the kitchen with a bottle and a glass of water.
"Thanks mom." She said and went back upstairs. "Father, I need you to take some medicine. It's not Feudal Era medicine so don't worry." Her father looked at her. She set the water on the night stand and opened the bottle. She muttered something and got two pills out. Then handed that and the glass of water to her father. "Take this, and don't chew it. It's disgusting if you chew it."
He popped the pills in his mouth and then swallowed them with the water.
"That'll take the pain away. You should feel better in a matter of minutes sine you're a youkai."
He nodded and laid back on the bed. "Kagome, will you stay here with me?" He asked quietly.
"I will." She said; sat on the bed next to him and smiled. Inuyasha sat down next to her, and put his arm around her waist.
"Senmo Kengen Haburi Tenka." She whispered when Inuyasha wasn't paying attention. She smirked then,
"Waaaa!! Kagome!" Inuyasha said. Her father looked at them. Inuyasha was glaring at Kagome and she was trying her best to hold in her laughter while she smiled at her father. He shook his head and closed his eyes again. Inuyasha growled.
"You don't have to be so rash about it. I just thought if my grandfather were to come back he wouldn't like your look. Who knows, he may be able to make sutras now. I know nothing about right now except for what my mother told me before. I got to talk to her after moving in to The Southern Lands but not much."
Her father growled.
"Dad…. Hold on, please. You won't feel any pain in a minute." Kagome said. His eyes opened and they were red again. "Dad, please spare me for once, its not like I want you that way. Inuyasha unless you can take it you better look away." She said getting out of his grip and walking over to her father. He stood up and latched onto her. Then he tightened his grip and she kissed him again, backing him up to the bed. "Spare me for once, please. You're going to make me loose control." She told him once he turned back. "God, what am I gonna do with you?"
"I don't know darling." He told her. "I don't want you that way either. Even if my youkai does."
"I know you don't, you love my mother. Is the medicine working any?"
"Yes, thank you."
"And I'm not leaving you until you are better."
He smiled at her. "Thank you. I think I can get up now if you help me."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"All right." she told him and helped him up. She latched onto his waist and half carried him. "I didn't realize how heavy you are until now. You seem so light when I'm a youkai."
"That's just because of your strength." He told her walking out. They carefully walked down the stairs and into the living room.
"Are you all right Inu Heki?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.
"I am now, thanks to Kagome's medical skills."
"Hey, its basic stuff from my time. Will it make you feel better if I turn you into a human father?"
"No, I'm fine now." He said; Kagome was sitting him down on the couch.
"Can I get you anything dear? You looked horrible before."
"No I'm good, thank you though. I imagined I would from Kagome's dream."
"I've never seen you as a full youkai until now. You told me about it but, I've never seen it. You look so… so… different."
"Yes, I know. Know I know why Kagome was born as a human."
"Why?" Kagome asked him.
"Because I mated her as a human. I better mark you now that I have the chance by the way." He said getting up and walking over to her. "This will hurt a bit." He said pulling her shirt over a bit. And rested her fangs on her shoulder. Then sunk them into her. Her eyes widened and then she relaxed when he licked the blood off her.
"That's how youkai's show they're taken. You can't mark me but it's fine. Give me your left hand." He said and grabbed it. He cut it then cut his right. The put their hands together and it mixed their blood. "Now you will live as long as I will." He said as a faint purple aura surrounded them. He looked at Kagome and smiled. "Thank you for this trick." He told Kagome.
"You're welcome. Now we all have a web of people who will live as long as us." She said smiling back at him. He sat down next to her mother. "Tomorrow when I know you're better I will go down the well once again, for the last time."
"The well is open?" Inuyasha asked.
"I felt it. It is. What, do you want to see yourself pinned there or something?"
"No! Why would I?"
"I don't know. I just want to see what you looked like again. I can't say anything because it might awaken you early, then you'll die and I'll never meet you."
His eyes widened.
"Don't worry. I won't say anything. I just want to remember how beautiful you looked there."
"You thought I was beautiful pinned to a tree?!"
"Yea and how calm and peaceful you were. Hard to believe now, huh? You just looked… looked… perfect. I wanted you."
"I can tell that. You've told me that enough. Can I be a youkai again? Please?"
"Fine. Henjo Tenka Kengen."
"Thank you mate." He said and kissed her quickly.
The day went by and her grandfather returned in the afternoon. Kagome turned them all human so he wouldn't freak, but kept their senses and abilities.
"So you are the one who married my daughter." Her grandfather said. "At least your not a youkai."
Kagome and Inuyasha got nervous.
"And you'll have a grand child soon sir. A grand daughter in fact." Inu Heki said winking at Kagome.
"How - how do you know?"
"I just do."
'If it turns out you get a son instead, you are dead.'
'Hey, it won't be my fault.'
'Yea, it will. Males are the ones who determine what sex the child is.'
'I promise, you won't be a boy.'
'You better father.'
"We've got to go now. I'm sorry its so soon." Inu Heki said to his mate.
"Its all right. I was expecting you to leave early. You probably need rest." Mrs. Higurashi said.
"I'll see you soon." He told her and kissed her quickly.
"Father, we can change in Goshinboku. Come on." Kagome told him.
Mrs. Higurashi watched them jump into the tree and then back out in a matter of seconds.
"Oh god… Father." Kagome said when they got to the house.
"What?"
"You might want to call my mother. What happens when a youkai gives a human a mating mark?"
He thought for a minute. "Nothing, why?"
"Why did I change to a hanyou?"
His eyes widened. "Oh no, you mean…"
"Yea. But what I don't understand is why in my time she wasn't a youkai."
"I don't know but we'll find out soon."
Inuyasha, Kagome, and Inu Heki walked up to the shrine the next morning. They were human. Mrs. Higurashi walked out to see them. She leaned on Inu Heki and he healed her.
"I feel strange Inu." She said looking at him.
"What kind of strange?" He said narrowing his eyes.
"Father." Kagome said.
"What?"
"Look closer."
He looked closer at her and his eyes widened.
"What is it Inu?"
"You - you - you." He stuttered.
"I'll bring it out faster." Kagome said and put a hand on her mother's shoulder. She brought out her claws and dug them into her shoulder. Mrs. Higurashi gasped in pain then growled. Her teeth grew into fangs then her fingernails grew longer. Kagome dug deeper in. Her eyes changed to amber and her hair grew a silver blue color that matched Inu Heki's and it grew as long as her shoulders; her ears also turned pointed. Kagome dug even deeper into her mother's shoulder; her eyes flickered red then…
"Toxic Bane!" She yelled cutting her daughter's arm. She gasped when she saw her daughter pull back holding her arm. "I'm so sorry!"
"It's all right. That's what I was trying to do." Kagome told her healing it.
"What happened to me? Why do I look this way? Inu?" She looked at her husband.
"You're a youkai. I guess it was brought out when I mixed our souls. So you guard mine as well as Kagome's now."
"Does that mean I will be born a youkai?"
"I don't know."
"I will still push myself down the well one day to awaken Inuyasha. I will conceal myself as a human. I will awaken him myself if I can't. I will make sure I break the Shikon no Tama. I will make sure all of this happens. But something will happen once I realize that Inuyasha is the same as this Inuyasha because of the new moon."
Inuyasha's eyes widened.
"No, Kagome. You can't."
"I'm going down the well, you want to see yourself?"
He rolled his eyes. "Fine."
"You can't say anything, you can't get awaken early or else. All right?"
"Feh."
"I mean it. Do you not want to get mated to me in the future, or past, or whatever?"
He sighed. "No."
"Then shut up or I will bind you to the tree with your younger self."
They walked to the well. "Don't leave here Dad. I mean it. If you die I will never forgive myself." She called. Her mom and dad walked over to watch them. They jumped in and a blue light surrounded them.
They jumped out. Kagome beckoned him towards Goshinboku. Inuyasha's eyes widened when he saw himself pinned to the tree entangled with tree routs. He walked up to himself. Kagome grabbed his shoulder before he got too close and glared at him. They jumped down the well again.
"I - I can't believe I looked like that… " Inuyasha said.
"It made me want to go tweak your ears again." Kagome told him and giggled. They jumped out, Her mother and father were waiting at the door.
"Have fun?" Inu Heki asked.
Kagome smiled. "I guess. I had to almost drag Inuyasha out of there before he did something."
Inu Heki chuckled.
"How am I gonna tell my father I'm a youkai?"
"By this, OH NO! A YOUKAI!" Kagome yelled. Sure enough he came out running.
"Be gone youkai! Get off of my daughter's husband!" He yelled throwing useless sutras at her.
"Father, it's me."
"You are not my daughter! Get off of her husband!"
"Grandpa! Shut up already!"
"You are not my grand daughter!"
She rolled her eyes. "God, you haven't changed. Henjo Tenka Kengen." She said and turned them all to youkais.
He tried to say something but he was silent.
"Yes, we're all youkais. Lets' go in and talk this over grandpa, before I feel the need to kill you like usual."
