InuYasha
Future Heirs
Chapter Two
Description of the twins:
Kimiko:
Hair: a light grey, a whitish grey tone
Eyes: Gold in the center, brown around the gold
Height: 5' 6"
Character: gentle and kind like her mother, but when called to fight, she fights to win.
Ichiro:
Hair: white like his father's
Eyes: Brown in the center, gold around the brown
Character: quiet, soft spoken, very connected to his sister, works well with his sister in a fight. They are hard to beat.
"So you are both Lord Sesshomaru's children? Do you know of your mother?"Miroku asked as Kimiko walked next to Kilala's head with Sango in front of him.
Ichiro was helping Kagome walk as she had sustained an injury when InuYasha had fallen on her. Kinana was carrying Kikyo with Shippo and Rin while Inuyasha walked next to her. Their father was leading them to his palace as it was close by.
Everyone was in shock when they learned of the heritage of the children.
"There's no way you can be Sesshomaru's children!" Inuyasha shouted pointing at a twitching Kimiko. She stared at him in slight anger.
"Do not dismiss what my sister claims" Ichiro's quiet voice said as he stood beside her. He smirked slightly to himself. He knew his sister had their mother's power to sit InuYasha, as she seemed to want to. But that would give things away. They didn't need to know any more right now.
"Do our appearances not tell of our father?" Kimiko asked, wondering if the stupid hanyou needed his eyes checked. She turned her head away before Inuyasha could examine their appearances again. Ichiro wasn't facing him, so he was out of luck there.
"I still don't understand who would want to have his kids." Inuyasha muttered making the twins glare at him.
"InuYasha, that was uncalled for!" Kikyou scolded, giving him a sight smack on the head just as Ichiro growled at him.
"You would be surprised." Kimiko stated confusing her uncle and the others; even her father.
"Yes we are and yes we know of our mother." Kimiko said as Ichiro slightly nudged her with a question in his face. Kimiko shook her head and smiled gently to reassure him.
"Did I say something wrong?" Miroku asked worried he had upset the boy.
"No, my brother doesn't speak as much and he did not want me to speak our mother's name." she said simply while Kinana nudged Kagome's hand.
"May I ask where you got a Nekomata?" Sango asked curiously as Kilala looked happily at the other female.
Kimiko looked to her brother who nodded, "another litter was found long before we were born. Everyone was happy that Kilala was not lonely any longer." Kimiko claimed as Kinana growled gently as Kagome stroked her head with a smile." Kinana is actually a kit from a litter of Kilala." Kimiko added stroking the large cat's head as she purred.
Inuyasha tensed quickly, alerting the others , other than the twins, "We're entering Sesshomaru's land" Inuyasha stated as he came closer to Kinana.
"Do not fret, you will be fine." Kimiko said as they continued to the palace.
When they entered the courtyard of the palace, the people sitting on Kilala and Kinana, slid to the ground and the two guardian cats shrunk back to their smaller forms. As Sesshoumaru. To the palace doors, the guards opened the doors; glaring at the humans and the hanyou as they walked passed them. As they headed to the healers' room, the servants in the hallways gave the twins a strange look for a quick moment before bowing to their lord. When the others had gone to the healers, with a servant, Sesshoumaru took his son and daughter up to his study to talk with them while the others were being healed. Once the door was closed and they were seated in chairs around the desk, the lord looked at his future children for a moment.
"Speak of why you have come here." Sesshomaru ordered, "Time jumping is a tricky spell let alone to a certain time period." he commented as Ichiro looked to his sister not knowing how to explain.
"You sent us back. Something has happened to our family and caused a good deal of trouble, so you asked us to come help destroy Naraku." Kimiko exlaimed.
"You said I sent you both; what about your mother? I'm sure she would have gone instead of her children." Sesshomaru questioned curiously about who his mate would be.
Ichiro tensed at the mention of their mother, "She... was attacked and left in a comatose state.
You did not want to leave her side so you sent us, your oldest children to try and fix the future."
Kimiko announced as Sesshomaru 'hmmed' with hidden curiousity of their mother.
"And you will not tell me of your mother?" He asked as Kimiko shook her head.
"You told us to never reveal mother's name. You did not want anything to be changed by any chance in the past." Kimiko claimed as Sesshomaru thought of the statement that would bring her forth. He then noticed a mischievous smirk come on his Kimiko's face. "You did not say, however, that I could not..."demonstrate" who it is. Descretely that is." He returned her smirk, somehow knowing she would do so if the occasion arose.
"May we go and ensure that the others are safe and healed?" Kimiko asked as Sesshomaru nodded and dismissed them, they bowed and were about to leave the room when the door was flung open and a very annoying but familiar small figure came running in.
"Milord, what are the half breed and those low life humans doing in the palace. What are you two doing standing beside lord Sesshoumaru! Get away from milord you filthy, low life demons!" Jaken shrieked, waving his staff at the twins. Before he knew it, Kimiko had lifted him off the ground by his shirt and face to face with her.
"I suggest you watch who you're talking...Jaken or you will be in for a world of pain." Kimiko snarled, then tossed him over her shoulder towards her father. He deftly caughter the imp and glared at his servant.
"Leave the door open Kimiko. I have some trash to throw out." Sesshoumaru replied with a slight growl in his voice.
"Yes father." Kimiko answered and went out the door after her brother, and stepped to the side. A moment later, Jaken came soaring out of the room like a bird.
"We'll have to start keeping a record of how many times Jaken is forced to do that." Ichiro replied with a chuckle.
"Agreed." Kimiko replied and closed the door. Inside the study, the daiyoukai lord sat down at his desk and thought over all that had happenened.
'Their presence reminds me of someone, but who?' Sesshomaru thought confused as to who they reminded him of.
They passed by many servants who bowed to them and left quickly, no doubt the news of future children of Sesshomaru passed through the palace of their lord. Rin raced up to them with a bright smile of her face.
"You are Lord Sesshomaru's daughter and son yes?" Rin asked happily as they nodded. "Am I in your future?" She asked curious while Ichiro smirked as Kimiko nodded.
"Yes, you are our eldest sister" Kimiko said as Rin smiled happily, "You also grow very strong." she added, making Rin giggle with happiness as she runs along to a demon maid who smiled to the girl, greeting her before taking her to a room.
"Kimiko, why was Jaken flying down the hall like that?" Rin called out.
"Father decided to give him flying lessons." answered back. Rin and maid couldn't help but laugh at her comment before continue on down the hall with the little girl.
The two resumed their walk to the healing area where the group was talking to one another. Kagome was first to notice the twins and greeted them happily.
"Hey, you two okay?" She asked noticing the look on Ichiro's face at seeing her injured form.
"Yes we are, are you though?" Kimiko asked worried and kept an eye on her brother who gulped and tried to control himself. She had to make sure he didn't do anything he'd regret.
"Oh yes don't worry we're doing fine." Kagome smiled as they turned to the others, "How about you guys?" Kagome asked them while they all nodded.
"Yes do not worry about us." Miroku smiled as he stroked Sango's butt only to be slapped in the face by the female making them laugh.
"Watch it monk!" Sango growled glaring at the man who chuckled lightly while scratching at his marked cheek.
"I can see that you have not changed." Kimiko claimed confusing the group.
"You mean you know us when you are born?" Kikyo asked curious.
"Yes, as Inuyasha is our uncle we got to grow up knowing you all." Kimiko said as they sat on the beds to continue to talk with the group. Kinana had been chasing Kilala and Shippo in a game of tag to keep them busy while the others healed.
"Hmm I just figured that since you were born from Sesshomaru, that we wouldn't interact with you kids." Inuyasha suggested as he was curious as to why he would know his niece and nephew from his brother.
Kimiko looked down, "Father has changed in the future, it is...odd seeing him like this." she claimed while Ichiro took her hand in his to comfort her. Kinana sensing her sadness leapt onto her lap to give her own comfort, Inuyasha looked down at making her sad.
"Sorry" he muttered.
"No it's alright, I know that you meant no harm by it." she said as Sango spoke up.
"You... remind me of someone, but it's not your father." she said making the twins freeze.
Ichiro tensed and allowed his sister's power to sooth his nerves, "I don't know who it would be as we both resemble our father a great deal. Ichiro more than myself though." Kimiko smiled while Sango narrowed her eyes at their nervous expressions. 'No one can find out. Not even our own mother.' she thought sadly while they continued to talk with the group.
The twins politely excused themselves and headed out to the gardens to relax for a few moments. They passed their father in the hallway, and he sensed the tension around them. He had a good idea why; the others were a little too curious of who their mother was. He sighed and continued on his way towards where the gang were resting.
"The twins have told me that my future self has not permitted them to tell anyone who there mother is. So I suggest you cease your prodding and leave them be. My future self must have a good reason for his command. I will see you at the evening meal." Sesshoumaru stated and left for a section of the gardens he favored the most.
Needless to say, the others were surprised at what Sesshoumaru had just said, but could understand for their own reasons. They had all known that punishment would follow if they had diisobeyed their parents.
AN: I apologize for the lack of title and chapter "mention" at the top of chapter one. I really don't know what happened. They should have showed up as was in the original document. A computer glitch I guess.
