Chapter Three: The Meeting
After Kagome stared at the picture, the maid came back up with more human food. Though the maid was glaring at the triplets and mummbling under her breath, once the door was clased the triplets erupted into a fit of laugher. "D-demon ch-children!" Kagoem breathed out while laughing.
"My Inu-kun is being poisoned!" The triplets said together then laughing harder.
"Inu-kun?" Inuyasha asked tilting his had to the side like a confused puppy. "Whose your Inu-kun?" Sango sighed and rolled her eyes at Inuyasha, then Inuyasha's phone beeped and everyone's eyes were on him as he pulled it out to check. Rin was up to her feet before Inuyasha could even fully read the message. Kagome and Miroku were the next up fixing their clothing and eating a little bit of food carefully. "Dad is almost home." Inuyasha told Sango as she slowly backed up to the window. "He already knows you're here and wants you at the meeting too." Sango glared at the ceiling and pushed some bangs behind her ear.
"Just wonderful." she mumbles to herself. "The person I hate the most, wants me at a meeting that has nothing to do with me. Just wonderful." She continued mumbling while now pacing around Inuyasha's room.
"Why is she so paranoid about have a meeting with your father?" Kagome whispered toward Inuyasha.
"That's a question you'd have to have her answer." Inuyasha said. "Sango, you have to calm down.:" She slowed her pacing as if she was thinking of something, then quicken her pace. She was swinging her arms around and speaking a dozen different languages. The triplets tilted their heads at her like lost puppies do. A beeping sound rang again and Inuyasha walked to his bedroom door. "He's here." They walked down the hallway and back down the steps to the other set. They walked up the stairs and the sauntered down a really long hallway, that lead to a huge pair of oak double doors. Sango held her breath as Inuyasha knocked and the doors were opened by a very short man. "Good afternoon, Myoga." Inuyasha greeting him while walking into yet other hallway. Miroku glanced over at Sango who still hasn't taken a breath, her face was turning purple. So, he took this chance to slide his arm around her small waist and pull her closer to him, she gasped out a breath. Kagome was complaining to Rin about long hallways in her mind and Rin was thinking of how to kill this house's designer. There was a sudden stop and everyone ran into Inuyasha because they weren't playing any attention to him. He mouthed "This is it." and he knocked lightly on this door.
"Come in." A voice boomed from the other side of the door, Inuyasha opened up the door and they all started to file in. "Take a sit please." Said the voice. Kagome took the head of the table, Rin to her left and Miroku to her right. Sango sitting next to Rin so that Miroku can't touch her and Inuyasha next to Miroku for no certain reason. "Thank you all for coming," a tall man walks out of the shadows. "I am so gracious to have the savors in my house. I was very good friends with you grandfather and I am terribly sorry to here of his decent into the next life." Kagome nodded toward him when the voice of her grandfather filled her head. Let me use you as a vessel to talk to him Kagome. It's very important I speak to him. Okay, grandfather. "Young one are you okay?" The man asked as Kagome started to shiver a little bit, Rin and Miroku turned to her and were trying to read her mind but they couldn't.
"I wish I was a young one again, probably you too, Inu-Taisho?" Kagome's lips were moving but it wasn't her voice that came out, it was their grandfather's. "Kagome is allowing me to use her as a vessel to talk to you." He said looking at Inu-Taisho. "Have you informed your son on what his task is? Or the Vampire Huntress?" Inu-Taisho sighed and shook his head in defeat. He knew that his dear friend was going to be upset with him, but he didn't want to loose his son to a battle yet. "Inuyasha, you are a quarter hybrid like my grandchildren are. That's is why you have no taste for human blood, because all you need is raw meat and you can live on. That is what my daughter and her husband were, you are being hunted by the other vampires too. You are to fight along side my grandchildren to bring the old race of elders down and raise a new empire of hybrids. Do you except your destiny?" Inuyasha stared at Kagome's body with his mouth open.
"I don't really have a choice do I? I will fight for that the slathering of our people is a crime!" Inuyasha said with fierce eyes.
"And you vampire Huntress, you are…" Kagome/grandfather started, but Sango interrupted.
"I know for a fact I am not a low life vampire, I have spent centuries hunting them. I would know if I was one, so would my father or my brother who were also vampire hunters." Sango said to the person using Kagome as a vessel.
"You are right young one, you are not a vampire. But you are destined to help fight this war, that is why your father trained you." Explained Inu-Taisho. "He didn't train you because he wanted you to take over the family business, it was in every scroll since the bringing of time."
"Not you name of course, future tellers can't see names only descriptions. Like, you were going to be the first born girl, born out of wedlock and your mother was an outsider of your clan." said the old man. "You would then find great misfortune and have to endure it, that would be your father and brother dying."
"So, everything that has happened to me, my father knew was going to happen? He knew he was going to be killed? Yet he still fought against you degusting creatures?" Sango was so angry it was radiating off of her.
"Calm down young one, your father took his life with pride. Knowing that his daughter was going to fight for the better good." Said Inu-Taisho. Kagome started shivering again and blinked her eyes.
"What happened while I was gone?" Kagome asked looking bewildered at the angry Sango.
"Your grandfather explain our purpose in being born." Inuyasha said in a monotone voice.
"Oh.." Kagome said looking at Inu-Taisho. "What's my purpose?"
"To lead your group to victory, you are going to have to find ten more comrades." Inu-Taisho said clicking a button as the picture Kagome looked at earlier rolled down. "A full fledge royal vampire named Sesshomaru, a young human girl, who has powers to see the future named Rin, a red headed witch named Ayame, a werewolf named Koga, and a shape shifter named Shippo." Pointing to each person in the picture. "Some already know it is their destiny and will help you easily. Others are comfortable were they are and will take some persuasion to help you." Inu-Taisho looked at everyone before talking again. "I know this seems like a lot to put on shoulders so young," Sango opened then closed her mouth, she decided it wasn't the best time to interrupt. "But we need new leadership, the old ways don't fit how the world has changed. Hybrids are our future, you are our future." In-Taisho finished and sat back down letting them take everything in. Kagome stood up and hit her fist against the table.
"I do not voice for everyone, nor will I ever probably, but I will fight. I saw what happens when vampires are different and I will put an end to it. With or without the help of my siblings and the other seven people." Kagome stood up straight and stood clearly. "When the war is over everyone can live happy lives, and won't have to worry about loosing their loved ones to full vampires. If you are willing to fight for this noble cause then stand now with me." Rin and Miroku were the first to stand up and they did so in unison.
"We will not sit and watch our sister fight our battle." Rin said firmly. Inuyasha looked split between the two decisions, but Sango stood next.
"It was my fault my father's blood was spilled, I will make sure that his dream is fulfilled." She said nodding towards Kagome, "Lead me into battle friend." Inuyasha stood slowly with his head down..
"That is way mother was burned wasn't it, because I am a quarter vampire? My mother was the only person who didn't look down or up to me, I will fight for her honor as will as my own." Inuyasha said looking to his father. "I also know where to find Sesshomaru." Everyone stared at him. "He is my half-brother, my father's other son."
