Sorry for the wait guys, but it's finally here! Hopefully, this chapter will clear up a few things.

Chapter 2

Meanwhile back in Japan

SMACK!

"Myoga! I was wondering when you'd come around again."

"Master Inuyasha, it's so good to taste you again!" Myoga grinned.

"Whatever, flea," Inuyasha said. "What kind of useless information do you have for me now?"

"Well… Ah! Lady Kagome! How good to see you!" Myoga called. "You're just in time!"

"Really? What's going on, Myoga?" Kagome questioned.

"Well, I was just about to tell Master Inuyasha about his family, more precisely, his sibling."

"What has that bastard done now?" snarled Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome admonished.

"Actually, Master Inuyasha, I wasn't talking about Sesshomaru." Myoga explained. "I was talking about your sister."

"Feh! I think you've finally lost your mind old man." laughed Inuyasha. "I don't have a sister." He sat back with a smug look on his face and put his arms in his sleeves.

"Wait… Inuyasha has a sister?" Kagome asked.

"Why, yes. A twin sister, in fact." Myoga stated matter-of-factly.

"A twin! Myoga, you really are senile!" By now, Inuyasha was on the ground rolling with laughter.

"That's it! Inuyasha, Osuwari!" Kagome yelled over Inuyasha's laughter. "Go ahead Myoga. What all do you know about Inuyasha's sister?"

"Thank-you, Lady Kagome. As I was saying, the night of Master Inuyasha's birth, Lady Izayoi found out that she was having, not one, but two babies."

Flashback

Izayoi let out a long breath as the last contraction subsided. 'Where is he?' she thought to herself. 'He should have been here by now.' Pain racked through through her body again as she tried to hold in the scream. 'Toga, you asshole. I'm never letting you touch me again!' She could take no more of this! The pain was unbearable.

The midwife came quickly into the room upon hearing the muffled screams coming from Lady Izayoi. "Lady Izayoi, you must start pushing. If this baby does not come out soon, you both shall die." she said, worry evident in her voice.

Hours seemed to pass by slowly as Izayoi pushed with all her might. Finally, her hard work was rewarded by the strong cries of a child, her child.

"A boy," the midwife breathed softly. She handed the squirming and very pissed off infant to Izayoi before preparing for the afterbirth. "Oh, my!"

"What?" Izayoi asked. 'Something's wrong.' she thought worriedly. 'Something happened during the birth, and now I'm going to die. Oh, Toga, where are you?'

"Lady Izayoi? Lady Izayoi!"

"Yes?" she said being forced out of her bleak thoughts.

"I need you to push some more. I think I see another head."

Izayoi gaped at the woman in shock. Sure, it was unbecoming for a woman of her stature, but this woman was asking for the impossible! Izayoi was completely drained of strength. She couldn't push anymore, but knew she must if she were to survive for her baby boy. With a nod of her head, Izayoi started in the fight for her life and that of her unborn baby.

"Good, Lady Izayoi," the midwife said and hour and a half later. "One more good push, and we'll have this one out."

'Thank Kami.' Izayoi thought as she prepared for one last push.

"Good, good… Just a little bit more…. There!" the midwife cried. "Oh! She's a beautiful little girl!" She looked toward Lady Izayoi and screamed. She was dead. There was a large pool of blood around her body that was slowly spreading towards the baby boy lying just feet away. The midwife got up quickly to retrieve the child. A single tear rolled down her face as she looked at the two infants in her arms. "These poor children will never know their mother." she whispered softly.

"They will definitely know their mother."

The midwife turned around shocked at the deep male voice behind her. There, standing in the doorway, was the father of Lady Izayoi's children. The great dog demon himself. He slowly walked over to the midwife. She noticed the blood that dripped from his side. It looked like a pretty fatal wound, but she wasn't a healer. He gazed down at the twins in her arms. "They are so prefect." he said in his baritone timbre.

"Yes, they are, but their mother shall never know them."

"She will know them," he said as he walked over to his mate. The midwife watched as he unsheathed one of the swords from his side. He looked at it with such intensity. The sword pulsed…once….twice. The midwife gasped as the great dog demon brought the sword down over the woman lying on the floor. A few seconds passed. Then suddenly, Izayoi took a breath as if she were taking her first breath ever. Her eyes slowly fluttered open. "My love," she said as her eyes came to rest on her mate.

"Izayoi," he said softly with great affection in his voice, "You must take the pups and leave this place. Your life is in danger here." By now, the smell of smoke was evident to the two humans in the castle. Izayoi started to cough as the smoke started to enter the room. The dog demon brought a red haori out of his clothing and draped it about Izayoi's slim shoulders. He then walked over to the midwife and took the male pup from her arms. "Call the girl Inuai. Tell Izayoi this."

"Yes," she said, bowing low.

He took the male pup over to his mate who was still resting on the futon. He smiled down at the pup as he laid him in Izayoi's arms. "Hello little man." Izayoi cooed.

"It's time to go." Toga said as he helped Izayoi to her feet. He beckoned the midwife over and started explaining the easiest way out. Just as he was beginning to usher the women out, a couple of guards came storming into the room with their swords drawn. Toga turned around with a snarl. "Get out of here!" he called over his shoulder. The midwife didn't stick around to dispute the order. Izayoi opened her mouth to try and argue, but was stopped by a softly uttered word.

"What?"

"Inuyasha. I want you to name him Inuyasha." he said. "Now go." He slowly unsheathed the sword on his back. Izayoi nodded in understanding and fled from the room, clutching the child to her chest.

End Flashback

"So, how come I've never heard of this sister until now?" questioned Inuyasha.

"Well," Myoga began, "the midwife and your mother were separated during their escape from the castle. The midwife tried for years to find your mother, but to no avail. Then one day, she learned of your mother's death and decided, that to honor her, she would continue to raise the child as her own with the name your father gave her."

"Wow. So where is she now, Myoga?" Kagome asked excitedly.

"Alas, I do not know. But after talking to Sesshomaru, he has agreed to help you find her. If that is what you wish, Master Inuyasha."

"Yeah, Myoga. Let's find my sister."

Back on the Black Pearl

AnaMaria sat in complete shock. There was Mugen, standing right where the raven haired girl had stood just moments prior. 'Get a hold of yourself, girl. The morning sunlight is playing tricks on your mind.' "Ouch!" she exclaimed as she pinched herself.

"What happened?" Jack exclaimed as he spun around to face AnaMaria.

"Nothing. Just making sure I wasn't dreaming." AnaMaria laughed dryly.

"Riiight. Okay! You wanted some answers, so here they are! One, that girl was, is Mugen. Two, this little mongrel," Kermit growled in indignation, "is Mugen's darling 'ahem' son. And he doesn't leave her side, so he let himself aboard whether he got permission or not. Which he did." AnaMaria gave him a questioning glance, but Jack ignored it. " Three, Will wanted me to stay on as first mate til he got a handle on everything. And as for the captain I promised you, well, she's been here the entire time."

"Wait! What? If this captain has been here the whole damn time, then why the hell didn't he come forward?" AnaMaria demanded.

Mugen sat back and watched as the whole exchange took place with an evil grin on her face. 'This is going to be good.'

'Chica, be careful. You know about AnaMaria's temper all too well.'

'Yeah, yeah.'

'And look and Jack. He's trying so hard to keep his anger in check.'

'Alright already!' "Hey, Jack, why don't I take over for you?" Mugen asked cautiously.

Jack looked over at Mugen with absolute relief evident on his face. "Sure, take over." he said gratefully.

"Okay, AnaMaria, here's the deal. I'm a hanyou. Speaking in layman's terms… I'm a half-demon. And while I may only look about 11 or 12, in all actuality, I'm about 650 years old." Mugen looked toward AnaMaria to see her just sitting there slack-jawed. "Hey, are you okay?"

AnaMaria slowly looked toward Jack to see if what she had just heard was actually the truth or if Mugen and Jack were just pulling her leg. Unfortunately for AnaMaria, this was no joke, and Mugen was tilling the truth. By noon, AnaMaria was beginning to believe that Mugen was a half demon who was 650 years old, and that she had indeed taught Jack everything he knew about being a pirate.

"Right, now that you've gotten your mind wrapped around that… Mugen, I believe that Will is looking forward to seeing you again." Jack said.

"In that case, I'll see you guys later." Mugen said as she picked up Kermit and stepped onto the side of the ship. "Oh, and Jack?"

"Yeah?"

"Tel the girl you love her, cuz she's crazy about you." And with that, Mugen jumped off the side of the ship into the ocean.

Blanket disclaimer for A Hanyou's Life:

Me no own own. You no sue sue.

I only own Mugen and Kermit, so far.
