A New Beginning

(Chapter 12)

Inutaiso Returns

Last time:

Inuyasha, Kagome, Mika, and Shadow had returned to the feudal era. Kagome had been well you know. Inuyasha and Mika have some things to explain. There are going to be in for a surprise later that night.

On with the chapter:

"Inuyasha what the hell happened to Kagome!" Sango yelled

"Kagome!" Shippo yelled trying to jump on her. Before he could reach her Inuyasha had him by the tail.

"Don't jump on her runt!" Inuyasha yelled throwing him into a bush.

"Lady Mika what has happened?" Miroku asked

"Let is go back to the village we will tell you there." Mika said from Shadow's back.

They headed back to the village. Sango kept on asking Mika questions and she said the same thing every time.

"Sango be patient. We will tell you everything when we get back to Kaede's everyone should know what happened." Mika said from atop of Shadow. Inuyasha was ahead the whole time keeping quite. Shippo finally caught up with everyone else. Before he got to far Mika stopped him.

"Shippo please give Inuyasha some time. He's still well mad." Mika said as Shippo jumped on her shoulder.

"But I want to see if Kagome is all right. Why is Inuyasha so mad? Why is Kagome hurt?" Shippo questioned

"You will find out Shippo I promise." Mika said patting him on the head. They finally got to the village and Inuyasha meet Kouga on the way in.

"What the hell did you do to her!" Kouga yelled seeing Kagome like she was.

"I didn't do nothing to her ok!" Inuyasha yelled and jumped over to Kaede's hut. When he saw Mika and the others come back he had some questions to ask.

"Mika what's happen to Kagome?" Kouga yelled

"As I said before You will learn soon enough." Mika said

"We don't know what happened ether Kouga we are just as lost as you are and worried." Miroku said putting a hand on his shoulder.

They walked a little father and ran into Rin and Jaken. Rin noticed something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Rin questioned

"It nothing Rin. Yo toad boy play with Shippo and Rin for a while." Mika said to Jaken

"The name is Jaken wench. Why should I?"Jaken asked

"Because grown-ups have to talk. I will tell you and the kids what happened later." Mika said

"Mika I want to know what happened!" Shippo cried

"You will I have to talk to the others first though. I will tell you later I promise." Mika said

"But... Mika she's like a mom to me I want to help." Shippo cried

Before she could say anything else before Sesshoumaru said something.

"Mika the kit is old enough to know what's going on." Sesshoumaru said from behind

"When did I ask you Fluffy?" Mika spat back

"Jaken watch Rin I will be back in a short time." He said while walking over to Kaede's hut.

"Fine Shippo you can hear what happened." Mika said in defeat.

They finally got to the hut. Well front of it. They gathered around the place were the fire usually was. Inuyasha went in the hut to ask Kaede to give Kagome some herbs to help her.

"Inuyasha after I give her these herbs you should take her outside so she can be around her friends." Kaede said mixing some herbs Inuyasha told her what basically happen.

"Ye go outside and tell the others what happened. I will tell you when she is ready to come out." Kaede said

"Im staying by her. Im not leaving." He said sitting by Kagome who was currently laying on a mat.

"Ye are stubborn, fine." Kaede said "I will tell the others to wait for ye." she said walking out of the hut.

"Kaede is Inuyasha coming out or Im I going to have to explain?" Mika questioned

"He will be out in a shout time." Kaede said walking back in to see Kagome now in Inuyasha's lap. Kaede ignored it and started mixing something. She was finally done and handed it to Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha give this to her it will make her feel better and help the bone's healing." Inuyasha did what he was told but it wasn't easy. He finally got her to drink it and her eye's shot open.

"Oh and it might wake her up as well." Kaede said while going outside with the others.

Inuyasha started growling a little but he was cut short by Kagome. She started to cry harder then ever and she went pale. Inuyasha pulled her into a tight embrace.

"It's ok Kagome Im here know nothing is going to hurt you again." He said holding her tighter. She held on to him best she could with one arm.

"Please don't leave me." she whispered back

"What makes you think I would." he said back

"Since Im used why would you want me anymore." she said back.

Inuyasha didn't believe what he heard what the hell did that bastered say to her to make her think that. It wasn't her fault that this happened to her. He pulled back to look at her in the eye's.

"I would never leave you. I wasn't your fault this happened. We are mates we will never leave each other I don't care what happens. You are mine and Im yours we will be together no matter what. I don't know what that bastered said to you but it's not true." Inuyasha said in a very serious tone.

"Oh Inuyasha" Kagome cried and before anyone knew what was going on they were kissing. Inuyasha was shocked for a second but it didn't last long before he returned the kiss.

A few seconds later Mika and Shippo decide to come in and check on them. Inuyasha and Kagome broke apart as quit as they could.

"Yo jeez warn us there is kids around you know." Mika said covering Shippo's eyes.

"I already saw what was going on Mika, Im not a little kid any more." Shippo said while trying to squirm out of her grasp and he did. Kagome and Inuyasha were red and Mika was a little for walking in on them.

"Well anyway when you guys are ready come on out. Every bodies worried about you guys." Mika said while walking out with Shippo on her shoulder. She got out and she was still red.

"Mika are you ok?" Sango asked

"She's fine she just saw..."Shippo couldn't finish before Mika covered his mouth,

"Its nothing. Inuyasha and Kagome will come out in a minute." Mika said while jumping up in a tree which Sesshoumaru stood under. Shippo was now on Miroku shoulder.

"Shippo what did you see?" Miroku questioned

"He didn't see nothing." Someone said from behind them

"Kagome!" Shippo yelled while trying to jump on her again and once again got caught by the tail by Inuyasha.

"I already told you runt don't jump on her." Inuyasha yelled

"Inuyasha! Give him a break already." Kagome said from his arms.

"Feh." and Inuyasha dropped Shippo by his feet.

"Kagome how you feeling?" Sango questioned Kagome dropped her head a little.

Mika jumped from the tree and landed in front of Inuyasha and Kagome.

"Hey Kagome are you going to be able to talk about this? Oh and here." Mika said while giving her sword to her. "I made sure it came back with us."

"Thanks Mika and yeah I can handle talking about it." Kagome said taking her sword.

Inuyasha sat between Sango and Mika. Then he noticed Sesshoumaru under a near by tree.

"Sesshoumaru I didn't know you cared what was going on." Inuyasha said looking at Sesshoumaru coldly.

" The Miko is part of your blood line now so I want to know what is going on." Sesshoumaru said in his normal tone.

"Feh"

"Ok what happened to you Kagome Im tried of waiting." Kouga said getting annoyed

"Settle down Kouga." Sango spoke up

"Fine, shut up and listen I want say anything twice." Inuyasha said hoping Kagome wouldn't get upset when he said the story over again.

"As you know me and Kagome went to her time. Later found out Mika and Shadow went though as well. Anyway skip those details Kagome's friends came over. It was the new moon so we were human and some how talked me and Mika to go to this thing. Me and and Kagome got separated and..." Inuyasha couldn't finish before Kagome started to cry silently.

"Its ok Kagome" Inuyasha said and jumped up in a near by tree.

Everybody started to get worried well more then they were all ready. Would could have happened.

"Its ok you two I will tell the rest." Mika called over her shoulder feeling really bad for Kagome.

"After we got separated we went looking for Kagome. We knew who took her but didn't know were he went. We were human so we couldn't do much. Don't ask me how but me and Inuyasha turned into our demon forms. This time we were under control. We got there but it was to late. Kagome ...Kagome had already been raped several times." Mika put her head down feeling ashamed of not being able to help in time. Everyone was shocked even Sesshoumaru.

"WHAT!" Sango yelled while standing up. "WHO DID THIS I WILL KILL THEM PERSONALLY!"

"They are already dead." Mika said

Miroku was trying to hold Sango down. Kouga was having trouble staying down. Sesshoumaru was even mad. Both Kirara and Shadow put there heads down. Shippo started crying. He knew what that meant and he couldn't believe it. Little did they know some one else was listening in on it. He made his mind up that he would show himself tonight.

Inuyasha finally came down from the tree with Kagome still in his arms. He let her on her feet this time her leg was almost healed. So she could walk a little but she still needed help.

They were left to think about what happened. A hour later it was midday and Sango and Mika decided to go to the hot springs.

"Hey Kagome you want to go to the hot springs?" Mika asked

"Yeah sure." Kagome said while trying to get up.

"Not with out me." Inuyasha said from behind.

"Inuyasha I will be fine." She said while getting up but hardly and started walking towards Sango and Mika.

"Im going and that's final." he said from behind her

"Inuyasha I will be fine."

"Im still going."

"Inuyasha. SIT!" Kagome yelled

"Hey I want to help and this is what I get." Inuyasha thought

"Sorry Inuyasha but I won't get hurt." Kagome said over him

"Yo Shadow grab Kagome's bag please." Mika called

Shadow got the bag and walked over to Kagome and transformed.

"I guess Shadow wants you to ride her." Mika said

"Thanks Shadow. I will be back soon Inuyasha" Kagome said from atop of Shadow

"Feh"

Kirara also transformed

"What's wrong Kirara?" Sango questioned Kirara kneeled down next to her telling her to get on.

"It's ok Kirara I can walk there." Sango said while petting her

"Come on Shadow lets go." Mika said Kirara went back to her smaller form and jumped on Sango's good shoulder.

On the way there Kagome noticed Sango acting different.

"Hey Sango what has happened since we left? You are acting like you are hiding something." Kagome said from Shadow's back.

"Yeah she's right." Mika said

"Ahh well after Mika left Shippo well followed her and saw her go down the well and came back to us. Me, Shippo, and Kirara went to check it out and Kasumi was there and she was about to destroy the well. I couldn't fight and neither could Kirara. Then a dagger came flying past us and hit the well. It created a barrier. Then, a man dressed in black and his face covered. The only thing I could make out was he was a demon and had white hair. He scared Kasumi off by cutting her leg off. Shippo tried to see who he was. All he said was that you would find out soon and also why he helped save the well." Sango said

"Why would he save the well and you?" Mika asked

"He said that he wouldn't let his family get stuck in the future." Sango said "He said not to tell anyone but I couldn't keep it from you guys." Sango said putting her head down

Kagome and Mika looked at each other then back at Sango.

"How dose he know about the well?" Kagome asked

"I don't know he left as soon as he came." Sango said right before the got to the springs. Kagome slowly got off Shadows back with some help from Mika. Shadow put Kagome bag by the spring. She then went to her normal form and Kirara and Shadow stood guard just in case. They undressed and got in the hot spring. Kagome flinched at first because of her injures and the hot water stung a bit. The splint from her leg and arm were gone since they were close to healed. Only then Sango and even Mika noticed how bad she was hurt.

"Kagome Im sorry me and Inuyasha didn't get there in time to help." Mika said putting her head down.

"Im sorry I couldn't help." Sango said also putting her head down.

"Mika, Sango it not your fault. Mika... you... you and Inuyasha did save me. Same for you Sango most people wouldn't want to be my friend now that Im well used. Mika you and Inuyasha saved me I would have died if you came any later." It was her turn to put her head down she started crying again.

"Kagome we will always be your friend." Sango said putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah none of are going to leave you we are your friends." Mika said putting her and on her other shoulder. Then Mika remembered about the whole in her left shoulder.

"Kagome I hate asking but how did you get that whole in your shoulder?" Mika asked.

"Well I tried to get away...

Flashback

Hojo was trying to rip her shirt off she was trying to get away. She punched him in the face and while he was down she got up and ran to the stair case but was blocked. Hojo got up and grabbed her by the arm and threw her into the wall. He grabbed his shot gun and shot her in the shoulder. She grabbed her shoulder her eyes went wide.

"If you try to get away again the same will happen." Hojo said while whipping blood from him mouth. Then he kissed her on the mouth roughly. She was not going down easy. She bit his lip as hard as she could. He pulled back and whipped the blood from his lip.

"You bitch how dare you." Hojo yelled and the punched her in the face.

"I don't care what you do I won't give up you bastered." Kagome spat

End of flashback

"Kagome I can't believe you went though that." Sango said

Kagome went to the whole in her shoulder. Put her claws threw reopening it and grabbed the built and got it out of her shoulder. She now had a bloody piece of metal between her fingers.

"I can't believe I survived." Kagome said throwing the built behind her.

With the guys:

After the girls went Shippo ran off with Kaede. Miroku was still thinking and Kouga ran off some were to kill demons to get his anger out. Inuyasha was up in his tree and made sure he was close enough to hear Kagome just in case.

"I can't believe I let that happen to her." "Hey half breed you remember our deal." "I remember. If she doesn't want to I will not force her." "She will." Inuyasha was knocked out of his thoughts by Sesshoumaru.

"Inuyasha I must speak with you."

"What do you want Sesshoumaru?"

"There is something you should know. While you were away I caught the scent of our father."

"WHAT!"

"His scent was by the well. Its been around camp ever sense"

"Our father died a long time ago he can't come back"

"Im just telling you little brother." Sesshoumaru walked away.

"Yeah like my old man could come back from the grave." Inuyasha said to himself.

Back with the girls:

The girls were finished with there bath and headed back. Kagome was now wearing a long sleeve blue shirt and blue jeans with a sash around her waist to hold her sword. She tried to walk the way back this time. It took them longer but they got back. Mika helped a little on the way. She dropped off her bag at Kaede's hut. She then noticed that Inuyasha wasn't there.

"Hey Miroku were is Inuyasha at?" Kagome called

"Im not sure lady Kagome he left after you did." Miroku called

"Were did he go? Is he mad at me?" Kagome thought she started to walk to were he thought he was.

"Kagome were are you going?" Sango called running up to her.

"Im going to find Inuyasha." Kagome said and walked off.

"Kagome you are still hurt."

"Don't worry Sango I will be fine."

Kagome walked off towards the god tree hoping that's were Inuyasha was. She was going to get there without help.

"Wait Kagome." Sango called before she could move Mika grabbed her shoulder

"Let her go Sango she will be fine Inuyasha won't let anything happen to her." Mika said walking away.

"He better." Sango thought "If anything else happens to her I blame him."

With Kagome:

Kagome was walked towards the god tree. She was deep in thought when she thought she heard something. She grabbed the hilt of her sword and got ready for anything. Then she caught its scent.

"Come out Shippo." Kagome called

Shippo jumped put of the near by bush. He jumped and grabbed her neck.

"Kagome are you feeling better?" Shippo asked

"Im fine Im looking for Inuyasha. Now go back with the others you need to protect them." Kagome said hugging him back

"I need to protect you." Shippo cried

"No you don't now go back I will be there in a little while." Kagome said

Shippo jumped off her shoulder and ran back towards camp. Kagome wanted to have some alone time with Inuyasha and didn't want Shippo or anyone else around. She got half way to the god tree and her legs were about to give out. She was going to get there on her own she hated feeling weak like this. She was walking there slowly using tree's for balance. Then she heard nosie in the bushes again. Her hand once again went to the hilt of her sword.

"WHO'S THERE?" Kagome yelled

"Well what's a injured half demon doing all alone in the woods." something hissed.

"Show yourself." Kagome yelled

A bat demon came out of the bushes and tried to slash her. She moved out of the way just in time.

"I can't fight like this. Even if it is weak I can't fight." She thought

"What the little half demon is to weak to move. This is going to be a lot more fun." it hissed again before the thing could move again it was sliced in half. A black figure jumped pass her and left that fast.

"Hey wait!" Kagome called but it was to later the guy was gone.

"That was weird." she thought she started off again.

"Who was that? I wonder if he's the one that helped Sango." Kagome thought

Kagome got a little farther and caught Inuyasha's scent. She was about ten feet away from the tree when her legs gave way again. She fell to one knee and got back up.

"I am getting there by myself." Kagome said to herself.

She finally got to the bottom of the tree and looked up she didn't see him. She tried to climb up but she couldn't.

"Inuyasha! You up there?" Kagome called she got know answer.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome called again

With Inuyasha:

While Kagome was away he decided to go to the god tree to rest. He was up higher in the tree then normal. He was deep in thought when he heard something but he didn't really care.

"Who's bugging me now?" "You IDIOT! It's Kagome!"

He finally opened his eyes and jumped down next to Kagome.

"What are you doing out here alone? You could have gotten hurt."

"I was looking for you."

"Why did you come out here alone?"

"I don't like feeling weak."

"You never will be Kagome." Inuyasha said and put his arm around her waist and jumped up in the tree. He found a branch and put kagome in his lap.

"Really Kagome why did you come looking for me?" Inuyasha asked jokingly

"Because I want to be by you. I feel a lot more safer."

"Kagome can I ask you something?" He asked nervously

"What is it?" Kagome asked back

"Well we never finished the ahh... mating ritual. I was wondering if you wanted to finish it. When you go though the whole ritual we will be together forever" he said while turning red.

"Of coarse I want to finish it. Why didn't you tell me sooner?" she asked

"Ahh... well if you wanted to back out you could have." He said putting his head down.

"I love you Inuyasha. I would never leave you." she said while turning around to face him. He then pulled her into a tight embrace.

"I love you too Kagome I don't care what happens I will all was love you." he said

"See told you half breed." "Do you mind." "Don't forget what you have to tell her."

"Inuyasha what is the mating ritual anyway?" Kagome asked

"Well... first well the mark which is all ready given. You have to do the same to me." Before he could say anything else her fangs were in his neck. She pulled back quickly after.

"Now what?" she said slyly

He was shocked for a moment but shock it off.

"Well now we need to do the blood bond."

"Which is?" she asked

Before he said anything he grabbed his sword did not transform it and sliced his hand and then Kagome's he grabbed her hand and put the cuts together. There fingers intertwined and a bright light engulfed them and quickly faded.

"That's the blood bond." he said quietly

"What's next?" She asked

He went really red this time. "Uh well we have to..."

"Have to what Inuyasha?"

"Uh...Man this is hard to say." he thought

"Well Im waiting."

"Well uh." he couldn't finish before he heard a scream back from camp.

"Looks like its going to have to wait." Kagome said "You are going to tell me later."

Before he jumped off the branch he stole a quick kiss he grabbed her and they were on the ground. Then Kagome noticed that she wasn't in pain anymore and her energy was back. Inuyasha noticed the same.

"How am I healed already?" Kagome asked herself

"It's the blood bond I guess it healed you. You are fully healed now besides the scars." Inuyasha said "Now come on it sounds like we are needed some were." he grabbed her hand and took off running.

Back with the others:

Shippo had just gotten back to camp and everything was fine. Kouga was back from killing lower class demons and Sango was still worried. Mika was out training some were with Shadow. Sesshoumaru, Rin and Jaken left to go back to his castle (guessing on the castle thing). He said he would be back before dark.

"Lady Sango is there something wrong?" Miroku asked

"Im just worried about Kagome. Oh and Miroku just call me Sango ok."

"Im am worried about Lady Kagome too, and ok I will." Miroku said sitting next to her. His hand well you know.

PERVERT

Slap

"When will he learn?" Shippo questioned and walked off looking for Mika and Shadow. While he was looking he saw Kirara by herself.

"Kirara what's wrong?"

She just stood there looking in the forest. Then something started to move. She started growling. (You know how she gets all puffy when she's about to transform or something that's how she looks now. I tink it looks funny when she dose that.) All of a sudden she transformed and something came out of the forest. Kirara grabbed Shippo by the back of the shirt and flew so they wouldn't get hit. Not to long after Sango, Kouga, and Miroku came.

There stood once again a fully transformed Sora and Kasumi. Kasumi arm was still gone from before. Kirara landed by Sango and dropped Shippo.

"Not them again." Sango mumbled she was in her demon slayers outfit and had a tight grip on her weapon.

"Sango you can't fight your arm is still broken." Miroku yelled

"I will be fine."

Before he could say anything else Kouga interrupted.

"Hey are you to going to help or not." Kouga yelled

"WERE IS THE MIKO!" Sora yelled

"WERE ARE THE HANYOU'S!" Kasumi yelled

"I want to kill who ever did this to me." Kasumi yelled

Then they heard something else coming from the forest. It was Mika her sword drawn and she was ready to fight. She wasn't going to let them off so easy this time. She landed in front of the group ready for anything this time around.

"Well if it isn't bird brain and cat breath. What do you want now?" Mika mocked

"Insolent fool you will pay for that." Sora yelled trying to slash her.

"HIRAIKOTSU!"

A giant boomerang hit Sora and sent her flying. Mika looked back just as Sango caught it.

"Thanks Sango." Mika said while jumping up trying to hit Kasumi. "But Sango take it easy your arm is still broken.

"I can still take still take them down. I hope." She mumbled the last part.

The battle went on as such for a while. Then things started going bad. Sango couldn't do much now. Kirara and Shippo's attacks didn't seem to have any effect. Miroku was out again and Kouga got them a few times but then was knocked out. Mika was the last standing she had a cut on her face the opposite of her scars and a slash on her back.

"Please don't tell me this is going to be the same as last time." Sora laughed

"Oh know not this time. Now Shadow!" she yelled

Shadow came out of the trees fully transformed. Mika hopped on her back her sword transformed into its final form. She was tried of these demons and was ready for them to be dead.

"Ready Shadow?" Mika questioned she shook her head.

"RAZOR WIND!"

A great energy erupted from the sword and Shadow used her energy ball to add to its power. Mika jumped from Shadow hit the ground and what seemed to be a attack similar to Wind Scar happened a bright red light camp rushing towards Sora and Kasumi.

"I guess that finishes them." Mika said confidently when the smoke cleared they were still there.

"WHAT! That should have finished you off." Mika yelled

"That attack was worthless it didn't even take down the barrier." Kasumi laughed

"A BARRIER!" Mika yelled she couldn't believe it her most powerful attack was nothing to them.

"I guess you aren't as brainless as we thought." Sora laughed. (Ok what happens next will sound similar to what happen in another chapter.)

Mika started to growl deeply then she heard something from behind.

"Oh no what now" she thought

All of a sudden a dagger comes flying past her and hits the barrier. When the dagger hit the barrier disappeared. Mika looked behind her and saw a figure in black and had armor, he sorta looked like the person Sango told her and Kagome about. The dagger dropped to the ground and Mika looked back trying to figure out who the guy was.

"Don't just stand there kill them." he yelled

Mika snapped back to reality. She spun around and got ready. "Ok here it goes." she thought.

"SHADOW RAGE!"

"We will be back half demon."

The attack hit the marks and they were gone. When the dust cleared nothing was left of them. "Are they dead this time?" Mika thought then she remembered about the man that helped her. He walked past her and Shadow and picked up the dagger. Mika noticed the dagger had her family symbol on the blade, the crescent moon. Now she was confused who was this guy. Just has he got the dagger in its holder something pops out of the trees. They land a few yard away from everyone else.

"Hey Inuyasha, Kagome." Mika called.

They jumped over to her and they looked surprise. Mika was surprised to see Kagome healed up. Then she notice the guy trying to leave she was going to find out who this guy is.

"Mika what happened?" Kagome asked

"Who wrecked the place?" Inuyasha asked

"It was Kasumi and Sora. They tried to kill us again but I killed them this time." Mika said sheathing her sword.

"Who is he?"Inuyasha questioned growling a little.

"That's what I was trying to figure out." Mika said

The man was just standing there

"Kagome go check on the others I think Sango broke her arm again." Mika said over her shoulder.

"Fine." and she jumped over to her friends she was closely followed by Shippo and Kirara.

Mika and Inuyasha went over to the man. They weren't going to take any chances with the guy.

"Ok who are you? Why do you keep on helping us?" Mika questioned

"You know who I am." the figure said

"What we don't know you."

As Inuyasha said that someone else comes out of the woods. It was Sesshoumaru and he looked like he saw a ghost.

"No it can't be." he thought

"Reveal yourself." he commanded

"You already know who I am Sesshoumaru." he said back

"Then take off the cloak, father." he said

"FATHER!" both Mika and Inuyasha yelled

"It looks like you figured it out." he said pulling the cloak off.

It was him his white was held in a high ponytail. He had armor like Sesshoumaru and dressed a little different he was more a battle outfit then anything. The crescent moon on his forehead. Two daggers at his side and a sword on the other.

"It can't be." Mika said as she looked at her father.

(SO how did you like. Making sure on this Inuyasha's dad's name is Inutaiso right. Anyway tell me how you liked it sorry it longer then normal. Any way please review.)
