A New Beginning

(Chapter 26)

Battles of the Future

Last time:

Everyone jumped threw the well and transported them to the future. What will happen now?

On with the chapter:

"AH jeez what happened last time I went though my head didn't hurt." Mika said looking up she was there but she felt different. Sakura was asleep next to her but she was human. Mika looked at her hands and saw no claws. "What the hell is going on!" Mika yelled in her head. She stood up and couldn't hear anyone.

"Hey you guys are you up there?" she yelled no one answered. She looked down at herself and she wasn't wearing what she had before. She now had on black jeans with a red dragon going around the pant leg and it had a chain on the side. She now had a black shirt that had the same red dragon design on the sleeve and it had writing on the front "Don't Mess With The Dragon". She had a black hat that said "Don't Mess With This Tom-Boy" it was on backwards. Her hair was still in a low pony tail and her necklace she had gotten from her dad was gone now she had a chain necklace. The one thing she did notice the scars on her face was missing. What she didn't know her eyes were now a blue grey color and she didn't have her sword. She had blue and black shoes too. (Oh yeah just letting you know I totally came up with the outfit sounds cool right?) She looked at her arms and legs to see if she had any scars at all. "Shit! I wonder if I still have my miko powers?" Mika asked herself. She put her hand in front of her and a small ball of light came. "Good I still have those." Mika thought.

Sakura was also different. She had on a purple shit with a cat on the front and black shorts. Her was in a high ponytail and she was human again too. She picked Sakura up and jumped out of the well and made it. She ignored the fact and got Sakura on her back. She looked around the well house and no one was there. She went out of the well house and realized she still had her demon senses. "What the heck is going on! Why do I still have my demon senses? Were are the others?" she asked herself. She was walking up to the shrine when it disappeared. She was standing there nothing around it was all blue around her. Sakura disappeared and she was alone.

"Who ever is doing this show yourself!" Mika yelled

"Settle young hanyou." someone said

"Who's there? What did you do to my friends?" she yelled

"Your friends are fine." another voice said and someone appeared about 8 feet in front of her. She looked like a worrier, a sword at her side and armor.

"Who are you?" Mika asked

"My name is Midoriko." she said

"You mean the priestess that made the Shikon Jewel?" Mika asked

"Yes that is me."

"Why am I here?"

"I must warn you of the evil that tries to possess the jewel." she said

"You mean Naraku?"

"Yes. If he possess the jewel horrid things are bond to happen. You and your friends must kill him."

"How he has a lot more of the jewel then we do and I know he's going to use it for making himself more powerful."

"That is why I contact you child I give you a power that no one has."Midoriko said and a small purple light came from her hand and shot towards Mika it hit her and she felt the same. "You now have the power to take the jewel shards from any were as long as you can see were they are. This will be very important in the final battle."

"Why choice me? I'm a freak, half demon and half miko. Why not go to Kagome?" Mika asked

"You give yourself little credit my child. You have great power. You have changed lives every were as well as save lives. You put your own life on the line to save others with out a second thought. You are great child."

"I'm nothing close to great more along the lines of freak. People don't even want me around." Mika said turning away. Midoriko walked up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder. Mika looked back a little surprised "I don't see why a great person like you even talks to me." Mika said turning back around.

"I see a person with great power."

"Feh I have enough power to survive. When it comes to Naraku I will probably die first."

"You are wrong child you will be that one to destroy him. Yes you will die but you will come back to save your friends."

"I don't care if I die no one dose. Probably be happy Im gone." Mika laughed sadly.

"You have friends that care about you. You now have a little girl that needs you." she said

"Maybe your right I don't know any more. I have been alone every since I was a baby."

"You were never alone I was always with you. So is your mother she doesn't want to see you like this. I don't want to see my own blood like this." she finished

"What? Your blood what do you mean by that?"

"You are part of me. You have part of my soul within you. Ever since you were born I was with you."

"In other word I'm your reincarnation?"

"In a way yes in a another no."

Mika smiled a little she finally found someone to talk to now she couldn't talk to anyone else now she did. "Thanks Midoriko. Will I be able to talk to you again?"

"Always. When the final battle comes I will help you in the fight." she said

"Thanks again." Mika said and she was back in the well. She was wearing the same thing she was when she was with Midoriko but her scars were still there and she was still a half demon self. "Must be a power she gave me." she thought.

"Mika are you down there?" Tora yelled

"Im coming." Mika yelled and jumped out and landed on the rim. "Hey what's with the look?" Iva asked

"No clue. Hey Sakura." Mika said

"Mommy why did you take so long getting out?" she asked

"Nothing. Let me guess Inuyasha and Kagome went to check if anyone's there right?" Mika asked noticing they weren't there.

"Yeah they said they would be right back." Shippo said jumping on her shoulder since he was in his smaller form.

"Well Mika it looks like you already fit the part of being here." Sango said

"Yeah I guess. I like the look myself." she said

"You would." Kimsune said

"You can also change there appearance. When ever you go threw the well you will be able to change back." Midoriko said

"I could do the same for you guys you know." she said

"Really prove it." Iva said. Mika put her hand in front of her and Iva was now wearing something from this time. Blue jeans, black tank top, and a red bandanna.

"HOW DID YOU DO THAT!" Iva yelled

"I had some help." she said. She did the same for the rest of them and was done by the time Kagome and Inuyasha came back. Tora now had a blue t-shirt with a fox on it, blue jean shorts that went past her knees, and a black bandanna. Sakura black shorts, and a purple t-shirt with a cat on the front. She was wearing the necklace so she looked human. Shippo looked human and had a green basketball jersey with the number 23 on it, and blue jean shorts he was a tall as he was when he transformed into his new form. Kimsune had a black t-shirt with the words "Wild Child" written on it, black jeans with a chain going around the side and a light blue bandanna. Sango blue jeans, light blue t-shirt. Miroku had a dark purple button down shirt with a motorcycle on the back and blue jeans. Kohaku had a forest green jersey and blue jean shorts.

"You guys look awesome." Mika said

"Thanks Lady Mika." Miroku said

"No prob you guys have to do the same for my brother though. Oh yeah when you go through the well you will look normal again. Now Shadow, Kirara, stay in your smaller forms and Kiba, Tsume ah well just don't attack any one." Mika said walking up to the doors to the mini shrine and opened the doors. They left there weapons in the corner and went out and looked around no one was there so she went out. Souta was out playing with his soccer ball.

"Hey Souta." Mika said

"Mika! When did you get here and you look cool." he said walking over to her.

"Just got here surprised you didn't run into Inuyasha yet." she said

"Must have jumped threw Kagome's window again. Hey Who the new guys?" Souta asked

"Tora, Iva, Kohaku, and Sakura." Mika said pointing to each of them. "Cool. Hey Shippo."

"Hey Souta. I want you to meet Kohaku I think he's your age too." Shippo said dragging Kohaku with him. "Hey Kohaku Im Souta."

"Hi."

"Hey you guys over here." Kagome yelled

"Wondered were you went." Mika said

"Hey you guys look normal." Kagome said

"Yeah you guys do." Inuyasha added

"Yeah we know I could do the same for you bro." she said

"Feh no thanks."

"To bad." Mika said and did what she did to the others. Red shirt black jeans and a black hat that said "Dog Boy" on it.

"Hey!" he yelled

"You are going to be stuck like that until we get back or I change it." she said

"Feh."

Mika rolled her eyes and looked back over at Kagome. "Hey Kagome could I try something?" Mika asked

"Sure what is it?"

"I need to try something with the shards for a sec." she said

"Ok but what?" Kagome asked handing her the vile that had close to half of the jewel.

"You will see." Mika said. She put the vile 10 feet away from her. Midoriko what to do in her head. She put her hand out in front of her and focused. The shards glowed and started floating and shot right at her she caught them in her hand. "Easier then I thought." she said to herself.

"COOL! How did you do that?" Souta asked

"Mika how did you do that?" Kagome asked

"Lets just say I had help. I can sense them too." Mika said

"You are going to tell us later right?" Shippo asked

"Yeah later but first I'm pretty sure Kagome has something to tell her mom." Mika said handing the shard back to Kagome. Inuyasha and Kagome blushed and looked away. "Ok what's going on?" Souta asked

"You will find out when Kagome tells her mom now come on its now or never." Mika said.

"Yeah Kagome lets go." Sango said pushing her ahead.

"Come on Inuyasha." Mika said

"I'm coming." he said and jumped down.

Sango pushed Kagome all the way to the house and Kagome, Inuyasha, and Mika were in the house at the time.

"Mom can you come here for a second?" Kagome asked nervously

"Just a second." She said back. She was nervous Inuyasha grabbed her hand "It will be ok Kagome." he said. She smiled and wasn't as nervous any more.

"Now what is it Kagome?" her mom asked coming into the living room. Souta came in too. She sat down on the couch with Inuyasha. Mika was by the door still. Kagome's mom was sitting next to Kagome.

"Well mom Im ah... pregnant." she said only loud enough for her mom to hear.

"Kagome Im so happy for you!" she said and hugged her tightly.

"You aren't mad?"

"Of coarse not." she said pulling both Kagome and Inuyasha into a hug. She let go soon enough.

"When are you going to have them?" her mom asked

"3 months and 3 weeks." Mika said from the door.

"Wait that would mean." Inuyasha thought to himself. "Kagome your going to have twins." Mika said before Inuyasha said it.

"What!" Everyone else said from outside.

"I will tell you later." Mika yelled back. "Ok I think I will let you guys talk alone." She said about to walk away.

"Oh no you don't." Inuyasha said grabbing her arm.

"What?"

"How did you know half demons can't sense that stuff only demons can." He said dragging her over.

"Well I know that fluffy told me you know." she said sitting down.

"Why would Sesshoumaru care?"

"You would be surprised."

"Mika are you sure?" Kagome asked

"Yeah Im sure sis." Mika said.. Kagome passed out "Kagome are you ok!" Inuyasha asked frantically.

"Inuyasha she will be fine she had a little to much excitement she will wake up soon. Take her up to her room for a while." Mrs. H said. Inuyasha jumped the stairs and went to her room.

"So Mika you brought your friends with you?" Mrs. H asked

"Yeah hope you don't mind we kinda needed a break." Mika said

"I don't mind but they are a few new friends I haven't meet right?"

"Yeah how did you know?"

"I know these things." she said "Mika can you come with me for a minute?" Mrs H asked

"Why sure. You want anyone else to come?"

"Tell Kagome's other friend Sango to come too." she said

"Ok let me get her." Mika said walking to go get her.

"Hey Sango come here."Mika said

"What is it?" she asked

"Kagome's mom wants to talk to us." she said walking back in and Sango followed her before Mika got to far Sakura attaches herself to Mika's leg. "Ok come on Sakura." Mika said picking her up.

"Girls come here I want to show you something." Mrs. H said walking out the back and to what looked like a shed. Sango and Mika looked at each other for a minute with confused looks. They went into the shed were there were boxes every were.

"Ah Mika who's this cute little girl?" Mrs. H asked getting a little distracted.

"Oh yeah this is Sakura my adoptive daughter. She's really a half cat demon though." Mika said

"I guess I already have a grandchild." Mrs. H said

"Huh?"

"Your like another daughter to me you to Sango."

"Thanks. Mrs. H." Mika said

"Same how's Kagome anyway?" Sango asked

"She will be fine to much stress in one day. Finding out your going to have twins is pretty surprising." She said

"Want to hold Sakura?" Mika asked

"Yes of coarse." She said happily. Mika handed her over to her. "So Mrs. Hagurashi why did you want us?" Sango asked

"Yes well when Kagome has the children what is going to happen? With you fighting demons and everything what's going to happen to them?" she asked

"We aren't sure yet." Mika said

"We haven't talked to Kagome about that yet." Sango added

"They can't stay back in our time with Naraku and his demons around they would wait until the pups were alone and strike with us not around they would take them." Mika said

"If we leave them in this time kagome will not be at her best in battle with Naraku." Sango said.

"You can't make them travel with you with all those fights it would be to much." Mrs. H said

"Mika what about your father?" Sango asked

"My dad what about him he's going to be helping us in battle."

"His castle is protected by a barrier and other demons the he controls." Sango said

"Inuyasha would not let his pups be left in that village I know him all to well." Mika said.

"We must find a way to protect them because I'm afraid if something happens to them it might trigger some of her memories I want her to forget." Mrs. H said putting Sakura down and she went over to Mika.

"If you don't mind me asking what memories?" Sango asked

"I would have talk to Inuyasha about this but he's busy at the moment and I know you girls are her best friends. It's the memory of her fathers death." she said sadly.

"I always wondered why she never brought her father up." Sango asked herself.

"What happened?" Mika asked

"Sit down girls it's a long story." Mrs H said and she sat on the box near the wall. Sango and Mika sat on the floor.

"When Kagome was about 6 her father died. She always blamed herself for it so my father used a memory charm to make her forget. Her father was from the same time you three are from. He was a demon yes but not much from what I saw he was only 1/10 demon. Dog demon really but he died from a shoot out in the city. He got hit in the heart and didn't make it. Kagome wouldn't come out of her room until that charm was put on her and Im afraid if something happens to her babies it would break through." Mrs. H said sadly.

"If Kagome's father was part demon would that mean her and Souta?" Mika asked

"No well Kagome is now but she wasn't when she was born."she said

"I have a idea of how to keep her pups safe. Sango when we get back to our time we have to start building a hut for Kagome and Inuyasha. Then Kaede could watch over them and I could put up a barrier so the demons wouldn't be able to get through. I could even get some of my brothers servants to watch them and toad boy as well." Mika said

"That's a good idea Mika. We have to start as soon as we get back and we can't let Inuyasha or Kagome know." Sango said

"Yeah its going to be hard since its going to be near the god tree." Mika said

"Yeah. We have to build one for you two Sango well for you, Miroku, and Kohaku anyway." Mika said

"We can cover that later." Sango said

"That is a great idea Mika. Now lets go I want to meet your other friends." Mrs. H said standing up and walking out. "Wait shouldn't you tell Kagome what happened anyway I mean she is older now." Mika said

"No not yet not until after all of this is over." Mrs. H said and walked out they followed.

"Mommy am I going with you when we fight Naraku?" Sakura asked

"You are going to stay behind and help protect Inuyasha and Kagome's pups. I can't have you going and fighting a powerful demon like Naraku." Mika said picking her up.

"But I could train and then help you kill him."

"No Sakura you are going to help protect Inuyahsa's pups. That is going to be your part and Im going to train you for that." Mika said

"But what if you get hurt?"

"Sakura, your mom is going to be fine she's a fighter she won't get hurt." Sango said

"And if I get hurt I can heal easy. If you get hurt you could die and Im not letting that happen." Mika said picking her up.

"But mommy."

"No buts you are not going to fight Naraku. I not putting you in danger." Mika said seriously.

"Yes mom I understand. But what if you die?"

"If I die then my friends will take care of you but that won't be a problem since I won't die." Mika said.

"Yeah I won't let your mom die." Sango laughed

"Feh." They got back to the front were the others were waiting. "Come on Mrs. H I want you to meet our new friends." Mika said walking outside. "Tora, Iva, Kimsune come here." Mika said

"Kohaku come here." Sango said

"What is it sister?" Kohaku asked

"What mika?" Tora asked

"Want you guys to meet Kagome's mom." Mika said

"Hi Im Tora a half fox demon."

"Hey Im Iva half dog demon."

"Kimsune Im a half fox demon too."

"Hello I'm Kohaku."

"Im glad you all came back." Mrs. H said

"It's a honor it be back Mrs. Hagurashi." Miroku said

"Well come on in everyone."

Shippo and Kimsune were in there smaller forms. Shippo was on Miroku's shoulder and Kimsune was on Tora's shoulder. Iva and Tora sat in the corner and so did Kimsune she was sitting in Tora's lap. "I'm going to check on Inuyasha and Kagome." Mika said jumping up the stairs. She put her ear against the door to see if she heard anything, she didn't. She opened the door a little when a she noticed Inuyasha's scent changed he was in his demon form! "Why is he in his demon form!" Mika thought. "Wait since Kagome's having twins he's twice as protective and since kagome has that spell on her its effecting him as well. It must have forced he's demon out! Dose he have control of it though?"

She looked in again Kagome was in Inuyahsa's lap asleep and Inuyasha was holding her tightly his face in her hair and it sounded like he was purring his eyes were closed , Mika saw the purple stripes on his face. Mika knew if he stayed like that for long he would lose control. She opened the door slowly making sure not to scare him. She quietly closed the door behind her so no one saw anything so they wouldn't worry. She took the spell off Inuyasha to make him look normal and did the same for herself.

Even as quiet as she was it didn't work the purring sound turned into a growl and his eyes opened, Mika didn't know this yet her back was turned at the time. She heard a very deep growling she turned around and saw he was awake and about to kill her. "Inuyasha its me Im not going to hurt your mate."

He didn't respond just bared his fangs he stood up and put Kagome down on her bed. He warned Mika to back off but she didn't she knew he wouldn't kill her, hurt yes not kill she hoped anyway.

He tried to hit her with his claws it hit her arm slightly nothing else he wasn't even trying he could have killed he easy just then but he didn't. It was to scare her off (that won't happen) but it didn't.

"Inuyasha its me snap out of it." Mika growled. He punched her in the face sending her back a little. If she was any real threat he would have killed her by now. "Mika send his demon back." Midoriko said

"How?"

"Put two fingers on his forehead and send your miko energy at his demon blood." Midoriko said. He tried to hit her again she ducked and put to fingers on his forehead she send a little miko power at his demon blood. It didn't work! He was about to hit her again when she heard whimpering Inuyasha stopped in his tracks and went to his mate. He picked her up again and put her in his lap. He started purring again and she tried to get closer to him. Mika knew she was having another nightmare.

Inuyasha was slowly going back to normal slowly. Mika wiped the blood from her mouth but couldn't hide the cuts on her arm. He was normal now and Mika put the spell back on herself but not Inuyasha not yet anyway. "Hey bro back to normal now right?" Mika asked sitting at the edge of the bed.

"Huh what do you mean normal?" he asked

"You were in your demon form."

"What how?"

"I don't know bro so you mad at me?"

"For what?"

"Not telling you your going to have two pups."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Fluffy said not to say anything I don't know. Well looks like your going to have 2x the trouble bro. Have any idea what your going to do with them when we are going after Naraku?"

"I don't know yet."

"I have a idea for that. It was going to be a surprise but just don't tell Kagome but we're building you guys a hut by the god tree. While were off fighting Naraku keep the pups there I could get Sakura to stay and protect them and Kaede could watch them."

"I don't think a little kitten like her could do that."

"Im training her. I'm putting 3 barriers up. One around the pups room were only Kaede and Sakura will be able to get in. Two around the hut itself. Three around the whole area. You couldn't even break threw it."

"Yeah right I can break threw any barrier."

"We will see about that later bro I have better control now."

"Yeah and how is that?"

"I found out something."

"You can tell him he is your brother after all." Midoriko said

"And what would that be?" he asked trying not to wake Kagome up.

"Well remember how I made our friends look normal and the jewel shard thing?" Mika asked

"Yeah so?"

"Ok how should I put this. I'm Midoriko's reincarnation part of her soul is in me." Mika said like it was nothing.

"WHAT!" Inuyasha yelled/whispered. He didn't believe his sister was Midoriko's reincarnation.

"I told you I'm Midoriko's reincarnation well kinda anyway."

"When in the hell did you find this out!"

"When I went threw the well. She contacted me."

"How did I know you aren't lying?"

"Why would I lie about that?"

"Forget it. Are you going to tell the others or no?"

"I will in good time you should be worrying about Kagome right now." Mika said

"Yeah I know."

"Well I will be up to check on you guys later." Mika said and walked out the door and jumped the rest of the stairs.

"Hey Mika is Kagome ok?" Sango asked

"Yeah she will be fine." Mika said

"Hey how did you get those cuts?" Shippo asked jumping on her shoulder

"Nothing you guys I'm fine." Mika said

"Ok if you say so." Shippo said jumped back over to Miroku.

Everything was going pretty normal after Souta scared Kimsune half to death with the t.v. and the wolves went around the grounds out of sight.

Souta was talking to Shadow and Kohaku. "Hey Shadow, Kohaku do you think Shippo and Kimsune like each other?" Souta asked

"Yeah I heard Shippo say it once in his sleep." Shadow said

"I heard Kimsune say she liked him." Kohaku said

"Well how about we get them together?" Souta said

"How?" Shadow and Kohaku asked

"You'll see Shadow you talk to Kimsune and me and Kohaku will talk to shippo. Shadow you just follow our scents to were we are going ok." Souta said

"Ok if your sure." Shadow said

"Ok lets get started." Souta said going over to Shippo and Kohaku followed. Shippo was playing a GameBoySP that Souta gave him. "Hey Shippo want to go to the park?" Souta asked

"Yeah sure." Shippo said shutting off the gameboy.

"Kohaku Shippo wait outside for a minute I have to get something." Souta said

"Ok." Shippo said transforming into his new self but he still looked human.

"Shadow wait 5 minutes then follow us ok."

"Ok." Shadow said and walked over to Kimsune. "Hey Kimsune want to go to the park?" Shadow asked

"What's a park?" Kimsune asked

"It's a nice place want to come?." Shadow asked

"Ok sounds cool." Kimsune said

"Just let me tell Mika real quick." Shadow said

"Ok."

Shadow jumped over to Mika who was talking to Sango and Tora and had Sakura in her lap. "Hey Shadow what is it?" Mika asked. Shadow jumped on her shoulder and whispered the plan so only Mika could hear it. Mika started smiling at the plan "Great idea Shadow just be careful." Mika said

"Don't worry. I will be fine." Shadow said and went outside were Kimsune was waiting.

"What was that all about?" Mrs. H asked

"Just a plan to get Kimsune and Shippo together." Mika said

"But there so young." Mrs. H said

"They are almost 16 in demon years." Tora said

"Oh well hope it works." Mrs. H said walking off.

"It looks like Kohaku is helping out to." Sango said

"He's starting to get used to the group." mika said

"Yeah Im happy he's back. I thought I lost him so many times." Sango said sadly

"Why did you think you lost him?" Sakura asked

"Naraku did something to him." Mika said

"What did he do?" Sakura asked

"I will tell you later." Mika said

"Ok mommy." Sakura said

(With Shippo, Souta, and Kohaku )

"Why are we going to the park anyway?" Shippo asked

"Just want you guys to see around here that's all." Souta said hiding his plan.

"Souta what is a park anyway?" Kohaku asked

"It's a place were kids hang out and stuff." Souta said

They were almost there and the sun was setting slowly. Shippo was totally clueless on what was going on.

(With Shadow and Kimsune)

"Hey Shadow how do you know about this place anyway?" Kimsune asked

"When I came here last time." Shadow said from in front of her. You would think it would be weird seeing a two tailed cat walk around but no one seemed to notice. Shadow was following Souta and Kohaku's scent and it was easier then I thought. Kimsune was looking at everything. They got to the park and didn't see them. She saw Souta he pointed at the bench Shadow shook her head a yes and walked over to it. "Hey Shippo me and Kohaku have to get something real quick how about you do over and sit on the bench." Souta said

"Ok you guys." Shippo said

"Kimsune go sit over there for a minute I have to check something Shadow said. Kimsune looked at her weird but shrugged her shoulders and walked over. Shadow snuck behind the bushes were Souta and Kohaku were "Hey are you sure this is going to work?" Shadow asked

"Im sure of it." Souta said

"If your sure." Kohaku said

Shippo and Kimsune were walking to the same spot and still didn't see each other. When they got to the bench they made eye contact.

"What are you doing here!" they both yelled

"Im here with Kohaku and Souta."

"Shadow brought me here. "

"We might as well wait for them." Shippo said sitting down a blush going across his face.

"Yeah might as well." Kimsune said sitting down as well a blush going across her face too.

Shippo kept on getting closer to her little by little. Now he was so close there hands were almost touching. Shippo crept a little closer and out his hand on hers Kimsune tensed for a second and looked at Shippo.

"Shippo w...what are you doing?" she asked

"Um Kimsune I ah I like you a lot." Shippo said turned beat red "Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

"Shippo I would love to be your girlfriend." Kimsune said hugging him. Before anyone knew what was going on Shippo was kissing Kimsune. Kimsune eyes went wide and so did the people behind the bushes. She relaxed after a second. He pulled back and had to ask one more thing.

"Ok there's one more thing I have to ask." Shippo said nervously

"What is it?" Kimsune asked

"Will you be my future mate?"

(Ok cliffy I know there 10 BUT that's 16 in demon years! Anyway what do you think her answer will be? How did you like the chapter PLEASE REVIEW)
