A New Beginning

(Chapter 37)

Evil Plans in the Making

Last time:

Mika comes back and after a little fight between Inuyasha and Koro, the headed back. Unknown to how the others would react. Then Kinomi has an evil plan in mind, when she puts a spell on a vile that contains Koro's blood. What is she planning?

On with the chapter:

(With Kinomi)

Walking back to Naraku's castle and evil glare plastered on her face. This was only the first step of her plan and if it all worked like she planned then everyone one of scar's friends would be dead by the end of these two weeks.

"And to think, Naraku thought I was useless." she thought. Next step to her plan to make poor little scar turn human for the next week with all powers gone. She wouldn't want scar messing up the first half of her plan now would she.

"A dark miko's curse. A powerful thing, but only full mikos can counteract it. Since scar is only half miko it should work just fine." Kinomi thought. Then one of Naraku's insects came around.

"What dose Naraku want now?" Kinomi asked. "He wants me to come back now dose he? Well fine, he might as well no my plan."

(With the others)

They had just gotten into the village itself, when a crying half cat demon latched herself onto Mika's neck. She was glad it wasn't it wasn't a death grip.

"Sakura settle down. I'm not going any were." Mika said

"Why did you run away?" Sakura questioned

"Ah... I will explain that soon." Mika said taking a quick look at Koro. Sakura didn't even notice the scent change, or change in eyes color. It was going to be hard explaining to her that Koro was, well her new dad basically. Mika guessed she would not trust men easily, she wasn't sure though. Hopefully they got along better then how Shippo and Inuyasha got along.

"That's all I need." Mika thought.

They got to were the rest of there gang was. (Im not going to go into detail with the intro's just to let ya know. I find it annoying after a while. I want to get to the good stuff.) Just in time to see Miroku get hit again by Sango. "Knew that wouldn't last long." Mika laughed to herself. Kohaku stood to the side, getting used to the little show, along with Kirara, Shippo. Kiba, and Tsume.

"That prev even tries anything I swear he's gone." Koro growled in his mind.

"He dose I'll kill him myself." Mika said

"Well Miroku looks like you couldn't last." Mika laughed

"Lady Mika?" Miroku asked, who now had a red hand print on the right side of his face.

"Would you just call me Mika jeez." she growled in annoyance

"Please forgive me,.." he started and you all know what's coming next.

"You even say it monk I will take your head off." Someone growled

"And who might you be?" Miroku asked

"Lets put it this way he's the one that will make sure you won't make to your wedding day if you try anything." Mika laughed

Then Tsume and Kiba walked over to Koro. Tsume kinda just starred, then Kiba nudged Koro's hand, Tsume soon did the same. They rolled over on there backs, basically telling Koro he was boss, of alfa wolf in animal terms.

"Bet that didn't happen to you baka." Koro shot at Inuyasha.

"Shut up wolf boy!" Inuyasha yelled

"Well Inuyasha is under someone for once." Shippo said and got hit in the head by Inuyasha.

"I could beat that baka!" Inuyasha yelled

"You wish." Koro laughed

"Ok, ok break it up." Mika said

"So Im guessing that your Koro huh?" Sango asked

"Yeah, guessing the monk is with you?" Koro laughed

"He won't be for long." Sango mumbled, she then looked over at Mika. "Im so glad your ok Mika. You had us worried for a sec. Well glad you found Koro."

"Thanks Sango. I guess you already know what happen to me thought right?" Mika laughed

"Of coarse. And Im happy for you." Sango said

"Well ok intro's done, girls I think we should leave the guys to get to know each other while we go to the hot springs." Iva laughed

"For once I think your right." Mika laughed, then shot an evil glare towards the guys. "You guys try anything, I'll make sure you regret it." she growled

They thought Sango had a death glare, but man Mika got scary sometimes.

"You glaring at me too?" Koro asked

"What you were planning on spying?" Mika growled

"Ah no of coarse not." he said quickly

"Good, the only time your allowed is when Im alone. Then I would enjoy it." she growled. Even if her back was turned to him, he could tell she had the same wild look as that one night.

"Come on lets get going before it gets totally dark." Mika said

Sakura was sitting on Mika's shoulder and Shadow sitting on the other one, before they left she made sure the guys wouldn't try anything.

"Kiba, Tsume."

They ran over, and awaited orders. "You two make sure, they don't go wondering off. And make sure Koro and Inuyasha don't kill each other." Mika laughed, the two wolves shook their heads and went to watch the guys.

"Come on you guys." Iva said and jumped ahead.

"Mika hear anything on Naraku while you were gone?" Sango asked

"No not really, but the demons had been hiding lately. So Im guessing he closer then we think." Mika said "I wouldn't really know, Kagome can sense jewel shards better then I can so I couldn't sense much."

"That's normal since your only half miko, and your powers aren't fully developed yet." Shadow said

"And I know when that happens how?" Mika asked

"You'll know." Shadow said

"You always have to talk in riddles?" Kimsune growled

"Mommy? Who is that guy that's back at the village?" Sakura asked

Mika kinda turned red at the question, knowing Iva was going to add something!

"Well, remember when we went to that one village a little while ago?" Mika asked

"Yeah."

"Well Im guessing she brought up something about a half wolf demon." Tora laughed

"Yeah, why?" Sakura asked (she's only little give her a break)

"Well that was him." Iva said

"Really? He looks like a nice guy." Sakura said

"Well glad you like him Sakura, because well he's your new dad." Mika laughed nervously. She didn't know how Sakura would react.

"YAY!" Sakura screeched. Making anyone who was demon fold there ears back, "That means you told him how you felt?"

"Ah yeah." Mika laughed

"He's not like my other father right?" Sakura asked nervously

"No of coarse he's not, I barley know him and I can tell." Kagome said

"He's nothing like that Sakura, he's a good guy. He wouldn't hurt you." Mika said

"Yeah he's just a big puppy." Iva laughed

"Wouldn't say that since you still haven't beat him." Tora laughed

"Hey I was only 13!" Iva yelled

"How do you live with those two?" Sango asked

"You learn." Shadow said

(With the guys) (this should be good)

Inuyasha and Koro were staying far away from each other, knowing each of there mates would not be happy if they hurt each other.

"Kagome would sit me so many times my back will break." Inuyasha thought

"I don't even want to try to get Mika mad." Koro thought

Miroku had already been knocked out by Kiba and hit two times over. Shippo not wanting to get Inuyasha mad, already known what he's like when he's mad decided to stay with the new guy. Same with Kohaku.

"Hey Koro?" Shippo piped up.

"What kid?" he asked

"You really don't have to listen to Inuyasha, he can be a baka a lot of the times. I don't think he thinks much." Shippo said.

"What did you say runt!" Inuyasha yelled

"Lay off the kid. He has more brains then you do baka!" Koro laughed

"Why you!" Inuyasha growled, but kept down.

"Ha, stupid baka. I think I might be able to get used to this kid though." Koro thought.

"Inuyasha fights with you more then Kouga." Shippo said

"Kouga?" Koro asked

"What you know that no good wolf?" Inuyasha laughed

"Know him! He's my no good half brother. Beat his ass more then once." Koro laughed

"Well may I say your full of surprises." Miroku said

"I should have guessed, both of you are weaklings." Inuyasha mocked

"Yeah right! Well at least I can beat my half brother Inuyasha!" Koro growled

"What would you know!" Inuyasha yelled

"Who doesn't know about fluffy and your fights. And how many times have you got your ass beat by him?" Koro mocked, Miroku tried to take the chance and sneak off. But got caught.

"Don't even try it monk!" both Koro and Inuyasha growled

"I'm starting to think those two are brothers." Kohaku said

"Your telling me." Shippo said from Kohaku's shoulder.

Kiba and Tsume watched the two leaders fight, their orders to make sure they didn't hurt each other. They weren't so they just watched and kept a close eye on the monk. So they turned back to the little fight ahead of them.

"I never lost to my so called brother." Koro laughed

"Who ever said I lost to Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha yelled

"You couldn't even beat my brother let alone me!" Koro yelled

"Yeah right and could slice the head right of your shoulders wolf!" Inuyasha yelled

"Well what are ya waiting for!" Koro laughed

"Im not that stupid." Inuyasha mumbled

"That's something I never knew." Koro laughed

When Shippo was sure they were going to attack, Miroku stepped in. "Now, now. Is this anyway to act?" Miroku asked

"What the hell you talking about?" they both asked

"It is obvious you two, are more like each other then you think. Why not just get along." Miroku said

"Me act like him! Yeah right." the both growled turning there back to each other. Miroku sighed and went to sit away from the two angry half demons.

"Good thing those two listen to their mates, or they would have killed each other by now." Miroku said

"I can tell." Shippo said "But I still take Koro's side."

"Hey!" Inuyasha yelled

"Stupid, can't even keep kid on your side." Koro mocked

"Like you could!" Inuyasha yelled

"Well at least I don't have a collar, like a dog." Koro shot.

"My sister's a miko too, Im sure you will get the same sooner or later!" Inuyasha laughed

"Like I let her control me that much!" He laughed (oh boy here comes the guy instinct)

"Who says Im controlled by kagome!" Inuyasha yelled (good thing they aren't around. But remember there is Shippo. Hehehe)

"Yeah well Mika has no control over me!" he yelled, oh man that was a big lie.

"Well Kagome doesn't control me either!" Inuyasha yelled, also a big lie.

Then Shippo got an evil grin on his face and whispered something in Miroku's ear.

"Yes good plan Shippo, they do deserve some punishment for such disrespect to their mates." Miroku laughed (Inuyasha and Koro are going to regret this later or not who knows)

But someone had a lead on it, Kiba left Tsume to watch as he gave the girls a "update" on the fight. (Hehehe so evil) Miroku saw this and would let the to "children" fight.

"Shippo I think we will just have to confirm what they said." Miroku laughed

"Huh?" Kohaku asked

"Kiba is going to go tell them." Miroku said

"Oh I see." Shippo said

(Back with the girls)

They had been at the hot springs, for about 20 minutes and Sakura and fallen asleep behind a rock. Cutting off her link with her mate for now, not wanting to here the two fighting in her head.

"Hey sis as I was saying early, tell me details." Iva laughed and got hit in the head again.

"AS I said twice none of your business." Mika growled

Then Kiba came walking up sitting by the edge if the spring. "Hey Kiba what's up?" Kimsune asked

He growled something and Mika got mad, "Oh so they said that did they?" Mika growled

Kiba shook his head, his tail wagging.

"Jeez what did those two do now?" Sango asked

"A man's ego, is what." Mika growled and looked over at kagome. "Well it seems Kagome that, those two hard heads think we have no control over them. They control us."

"Oh boy." Tora mumbled and snuck under the water as did Kimsune and Iva.

"Oh really?" Kagome asked

"From what Kiba is telling me." Mika said

"Inuyasha is going to get a sitting from hell!" Kagome growled

"I really need to get a rosary for Koro." Mika growled, "For now I will think of another way."

"Koro's so dead." Tora mumbled

"He's worse then that." Iva said

"You two got that right." Mika growled, but then she got an evil idea that might work. "Kiba, tell me anything else you find out. I will deal with those two." Mika laughed and Kiba walked back. Kagome had the same evil glint in her eyes as Mika did.

"Well we have no control do we? How about we test that?" Mika laughed

"What are you planning?" Kagome asked

"Just follow my lead when we get there." Mika said

"Poor Inuyasha, poor Koro." They all thought.

"Well we better be heading back, its getting dark. Don't want the boys worrying." Kimsune laughed

"Yeah good point." Sango laughed

Mika picked up Sakura who was still asleep. They started heading back, " So sis. How do ya think Koro will take to being a dad?" Tora asked

"I'll think he'll be great, but he really has to get over that ego think with bro." Mika said

"Your telling me." Iva said

"Those two are going to kill each other." Sango said

"No they won't. If those to know what's good for them." Kagome laughed

"Yeah."

"Mika!" a voice said in her head.

"Fluffy! Dad! What the hell?" she growled back.

"Two weeks you go missing, and you come back with a mate." Sesshoumaru said

"Like you care? Father before you even say anything about that ceremony don't even bring it up. I rather not have Koro and Sakura in a tribe that hates me and half demons in general." she growled

"If that is what you wish, then that is fine. You and him are still in the tribe, not all of the tribes hate you." Inutaiso said

"Yeah right whatever. See ya whenever." Mika said and connection cut off.

"I have to be daughter to the great dog demon. His two sons sent the one sword to hell, and have the two swords of power. Me Im nothing in this family." she thought.

"Hey Mika ya there?" Kimsune asked noticing Mika was totally out of it.

"Huh? Oh yeah Im ok." Mika said

(With Kinomi)

She walked threw the castle, not noticing anything around until she got to the main room. She walked in and was discussed when she came across Naraku remaking his body. Right now he was just a head with a lot of demon bodies around.

"You wanted to see me Naraku?" Kinomi asked

"What are you planning to do?" he asked

"Get rid of your problem." she said

"How do you plan to do that, when I could not?" he laughed

She held the blackened vile in front of her, " This insures it. Scar has one weakness and shows it without care. Her friends and mate. I control the wolf, she will not be able to kill him. He will be able to kill all of them. No one will be able to break this spell." She explained acting like she knew everything.

"You should know nothing is ever that easy. Insure if this dose not work, do not come back." Naraku said.

She walked out like nothing, her staff started glowing. "Time to visit scar." Kinomi thought.

She set it on the ground and she was teleported to the middle of the forest about 15 feet from scar. "Tonight is the beginning of the end scar." she thought

She grabbed a arrow and but something on it, she got it ready making sure she was up wind so none of them would caught her scent.

She kept hidden and saw them ahead, "Now scar were is your miko powers centered?" Kinomi wondered. "There."

A small blue light came from right above her heart. "Lucky Im not aiming to kill you this time." Kinomi thought

She got her arrow ready.

(Back with the girls)

They were almost back, and Kagome had a feeling they were being watched. She kept on looking over her shoulder.

"Hey kagome you ok?" Sango asked

"Yeah, I'm fine." Kagome said

Then Mika head snapped around looking at the tree line along the path. Growling fiercely, Shadow transformed also ready to fight.

"Shadow watch Sakura." Mika growled low, and set Sakura down.

"Mika is it who I think it is?" Iva asked

Then there was a rustle behind them, Mika turned around and a arrow came zooming out hitting the mark on Mika's back, barely entereing the skin but enough to were the arrow head was in.

Hissing in pain, it burned like hell for some reason. "Damn it." she growled

Sango got her Hiraikotsu ready, Iva, Tora, and Kimsune got ready to draw there swords, (look sorry I didn't bring this up sooner but Kags is back to bows and arrows.) Kagome got an arrow ready.

Mika ripped out the arrow, and looked around. She heard something from behind, She jumped for it. Kinomi could only transport once so she couldn't get away that easily. Mika's claws barley missed. Then Kinomi just vanished.

Landing in front of the others, "Damn it! That's the second time already." She growled, the small wound on her back gone.

"Hey sis you ok?" Iva asked

"Yeah I'm fine. Don't tell Koro about this. I don't want him running off after her." Mika said

"Mika don't you think is weird that she didn't try to kill you when she had the chance?" Sango asked

"She's planning something, that's why I don't want him to know." Mika said

"What do you think she's up to?" Kimsune asked

"I don't know, well come on lets get back before they come looking for us." Mika said and picked up Sakura, who was still asleep.(Heavy sleeper)

They got back to the village, and the guys were still at it. Kiba and Tsume came up and said what else had happen.

"Well glad to see you two getting along." Mika said, they both shut up.

"Thank you! They had been at it the whole time, they were giving me a head ace." Shippo said

"Believe me we know." Kagome said

"Hey Miroku, Kohaku what were those two saying?" Mika asked seeing if they said the same as the wolves. Inuyasha and Koro went kinda white. Oh boy they were in for it.

"Lady Mika, so glad you asked." Miroku said, Inuyasha was ready to take off the monks head, he did that it would make it worse. "Well, as you might know.." Miroku started but Shippo finished it. "They said you and Kagome have no effect or control of them. And something about girls being the weak ones or something. Hey did you know Koro is Kouga's half brother?" Shippo said

They turned dead white. "Really?" Kagome asked

"Yeah." Kohaku said

Kagome and Mika knew the guys didn't mean it. It was a guy ego thing and it looks like they got caught up. Doesn't mean they were going to get away with it though.

"You would be surprised on who those to act almost the same." Miroku said

"Your telling me." Shippo said

"Hey Sakura get up." Mika said

"What is it mommy?" she asked

"Go play with Shippo and the wolves for a while. I need to talk to the others for a second." Mika said

"Ok." Sakura said and Mika set her down on the ground.

"Kimsune you go too." Mika said

"Yeah, yeah. Don't go to hard on him, he's only a guy after all." Kimsune laughed

"Kohaku would you mind watching them?" Sango asked

"Ok sister." he said and followed behind.

When they were gone, it was time for pay back. "Well guys, think we're weak and have no control? Now were do you get that from?" Mika asked

"Ah..." they both didn't say anything.

"Oh Inuyasha." Kagome said, he knew what was coming next. "Kagome wait..."

"Sit!"

WHAM

Inuyasha picked the wrong time to be up in a tree. Koro looked over relieved he didn't have one of those things, but still scared of what was going to happen to him.

"You IDIOT!" "What the hell was I thinking!" " We're in for it now." "I hope she doesn't get one of those things for us!" "Oh shit."

Mika walked over, "So don't control ya huh?" she laughed

"Ahh..."

"Well your right I don't control you, just trust you." she said

"Here it comes..." he thought but then thought. "What did she just say?"

He relaxed and looked over at her, "What you thought I was going to do something to you?" Mika laughed

"Kinda." he said

"Never would, love you too much." she said " But me being weak who was that you or baka over there?"

"Baka." Koro said, Mika looked over at the wolves who also pointed at him. "Good, it looks like his ego is bigger then yours." Mika laughed

"I would never think your were weak anyway." he said

"Well, looks like you can go easy on people sooner or later." Iva laughed

"Shut up, I still don't go easy on you." Mika said

Finally Inuyasha was able to get up, "Stupid wolf." he mumbled

"Inuyasha." Kagome said

"What is it?" he asked

"Would you try to be nice for once? If you can put up with your brother and Kouga, what's so different now?" Kagome asked

"Him get along with my half brother figures." Koro mumbled

"So you do know about Kouga." Tora said

"Yeah no big deal, he doesn't know I don't plan to tell him." Koro said

Mika rolled her eyes, "I'm going to get the smaller members of the group, be back in a few" Mika said and walked off.

Inuyasha had took Kagome some were to have some "personal" time. Koro didn't mind, that baka got on his nerves. Sango went back to Kaede's, Iva and Tora took off some were.

"To think a month ago I was still alone." he said to himself.

"Koro, my friend you a truly lucky." Miroku brought up.

"And you are talking about what?" Koro asked

"To have a mate, as powerful as Mika is and not get you a necklace like Inuyasha, even after you do such a thing. How do you do it?" Miroku asked

"Do what exactly?" Koro asked

"Make a woman love you so much, they can't bare to hurt you." Miroku said

"Well hears a hint, you don't go spying on them, or go touching 'em in places. That's unless, well you know." koro said

"Well, koro never thought I would hear you say that." Iva laughed, almost giving him a heart attack.

"Damn it I thought you left!" he growled

"Nope still here, and now you go giving the monk pointers. Never thought that would happen." Iva said and this time did leave.

"Miroku, just telling ya when your engaged, don't hit on other girls." Koro said rolling his eyes

"I can not help this cursed hand has a mind of its own." Miroku said

"Right, that's like saying Naraku is a good guy." Koro said sarcastically "Well put it this way monk, if you love the slayer enough then you'll stop for good."

"How you know such things?" Miroku asked

"I stopped my life to find Mika, you can stop your hand to marry Sango." Koro said and walked off. (Isn't he a lot more help with that then Inuyasha was. Hehehehehe)

(With Kinomi)

She walked back to Naraku's castle, the smile never leaving her face. "If this doesn't kill you scar, then Koro will." Kinomi thought and walked past Kagura.

"So failed again?" she asked

"Only step one of my plan. Since Naraku is still reshaping his body, he won't be able to interfere." Kinomi thought and walked off.

Kagura had not known Naraku was human, now was her chance to escape. The neko demon Shadow was her only hope now. Would they trust her after everything though? That was not an issue she didn't care if they did or not. She wasn't looking to make friends, just be free.

She took a feather from her hair and flew off towards the village Inuyasha and the others were. It would take he about 2 days to get there, and she didn't have much time.

Ever time she thought of being free a image of Sesshoumaru came into her head. Then she thought could she really be in love with Sesshoumaru.

"Ha no chance." she said to herself and flew deeper into the night.

(Well another chapter up. I kn ow Mika is kinda acting weird, but give her a break. Well anyway what do you think Kinomi is planning? Will Kagura be freed? Who will Koro and Sakura get along? Well anyway hope you liked and the better stuff is up ahead.

P.S. I know Mika is kinda center of the story at this point. Sorry for that for the few that don't really like it. I can write from her point of view, as with the others its hard to stay in character.

Well anyway PLEASE REVIEW!)

(Oh yes I have a question do you think I should keep going? Or start the sequeal? Or just end it soon? Your guys chocie becasue ethier way i have ideas for all three. So Anyway REAVIEW!
