I Don't Own Inuyasha

"Talking"

13. Hanyou

Shippo sat beside the blue haired girl, staring into her face. "She does sorta look like Kaori.. She smells like Kaori.. She sounds like Kaori.. I think she is Kaori."

"Yes Shippo.. this is indeed Kaori-sama." Meoga said, hopping onto the girls face, and drinking her blood. "Mmmmm.. Her blood has a similar taste...although it is much more delicious now."

"I don't get it! How can you be so sure this is that stupid monkey-girl!!" Inuyasha shouted. He'd chased after Kikyou.. but her soul was so full of malice and hatred, it had ended her life just as it started. She hadn't let him save her, and now she was really gone. "Look at her she looks nothing like Kaori! This wench is a hanyou, Kaori is a abnormal human! Kaori has always been a human and always will be!"

"Actually Inuyasha, that is wrong." Kaede sighed, staring at the girl's face. "Kaori hasn't always been in human form. Two years before you came to our village, it had only been me and Onee-sama. A human woman came to our village, with Kaori, in the form you see her in now.. Her village had threatened that they would kill her and the child if she didn't dispose of Kaori.. so she left..

"Kaori's mother was a descendant of Midoriko.. a great priestess that created the Shikon No Tama many years ago.. and she held the Shikon No Tama. But at the time of her arrival.. Onee-sama had been very ill.. life-threateningly ill.. and Kaori was weak from travel. They stayed in the same room, Onee-sama and Kaori, for as you know hanyou's can't get as sick as easily as humans. We never figured out what happened that night.. but the next morning Kaori's mother was gone, Onee-sama was curred, the Shikon No Tama in our care and Kaori had turned into a little human girl.. It's all quite complicated.. and confusing.. but one thing for sure is this is Kaori."

"But I wonder.." Meoga said staring down at the new Kaori. "Will she be the same Kaori as when she was human.. or will her personality change completely?"

"Wha?" Shippo gasped, staring wide-eyed at the flea.

"Well, her youkai blood.. feelings.. and nature had been suppressed when she was human.. maybe now that they have reemerged and now that Kikyou's part of her soul is gone maybe she'll be different.."

The girl's eyes opened. Meoga and Shippo stepped back into the safety of Inuyasha's presence. She sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, her black inu ears drooped to the sides, and her tail wrapped around her. Her gaze drifted from the ground to the group watching her.

"Oh my god!" She shouted, her face full of shock. "I had the most strangest, worstest dream ever!! But it was so cool at the same time!" She said bobbing up and down excitedly. "I dreamt I turned into a hanyou and almost killed everyone and and I had like blue hair and.." She noticed her tail which was wagging quickly behind her. She screamed and jumped up grasping her tail in her hands.

"OH MY GOD IT WAS REAL!!" She shouted. She started running around pulling at her silky blue locks. "It was REALLY REAL! I ALMOST KILLED PEOPLE! I FORGOT EVERYTHING..!!"

"Yep.. that's Kaori all right.." Inuyasha sighed watching her run around like a maniac. She whipped around and grabbed his Kimono and started shaking him.

"Do you realize this!! I changed!! I'm like.. EVIL NOW!! I HAVE A TAIL AND YOU DON'T!! HAHAHA!" She let him go and started twirling around the area, in a daze.

"She's a mental case.." Inuyasha grumbled, standing up himself. "Let's go, you mutant squirrel!" He called starting down the mountain.

"I'M NOT A SQUIRREL!!" She shouted running after him.

Kaede sighed and slowly followed after him. "They are such strange kids.."

°°•. .•°ღ°•. .•°°

I lay on the floor of Kaede's hut, staring at the gain in the wood above. Everything that my human eyes had missed these eyes picked up, noticed, caught. I didn't feel as tired as I used to be at this hour. I looked at my vibrant blue hair that sparkled silver were the moonlight hit. My hair was so different. My face was unfamiliar, my voice had changed slightly into a musical symphony. My body had changed, and my thirst for power and strength had been quenched. But the only thing that bothered me was.. Inuyasha didn't seem to trust me anymore.

He watched more carefully, cautiously, like I would snap any minute, and go rampant on the village. He looked at me like I was an alien, abnormal.. A freak. I looked toward his still form in the corner, expecting him to be asleep. But instead his golden eyes glowed in the darkness, studying every move I made.

I sighed and looked through the cracks in the roof. The only thing remaining of the moon was a tiny sliver. I got to my feet and walked outside, ignoring the glowing golden orbs following as I made my way across the room.

I inhaled the evening air as my naked feet touched the cool earth. I walked silently through the village, my white chiffon knee length gown rippling in the cool breeze. I got to the tree where I had been with Inuyasha earlier. I felt my face flush and I trailed my finger along the bark. His scent was still there..

I wonder... Would my singing still produce the light now that I am no longer purely human?

"What the hell are you doing?"

I spun around. Inuyasha was standing behind me, his glowing eyes watching me suspiciously.

"What the hell are you doing?" I repeated. "Nothing but I guess you're spying on me, I suppose?" I jumped into the branches above.

"No. Who would spy on someone like you!?" He replied, jumping onto the same branch at I sat on.

"Then why are you here!?" I snapped. He didn't answer. His expression hardened as he gazed at me. I growled and looked away. Why did he always have to stay silent and never answer me? Why was he so distant? Seconds ticked by and the silence grew uncomfortable. A unsettling feeling, forced me to look into the sky. There was a carriage silhouetted against the moon.

Inuyasha abruptly jumped up, staring wide-eyed at the carriage. "O.. ofukuro?"

A angelic raven haired woman, looked out from the open back, looking down to the earth. I felt my ears turn to the sides in aggravation as I inspected the carriage in the sky. He'd called this woman 'Ofukuro'.. Rude slang for mother.. pfft, leave it to him to call his mother such a thing.

The woman's eyes widened in shock as she noticed us in the tree.. Her eyes were the same as his, except her eyes were warm brown instead of piercing amber. "Inuyasha.." She whispered. Her gaze flickered to me, then back to Inuyasha.

I didn't get it.. I knew Inuyasha's parents were dead, Meoga had told me that when I was young, he had also told me her name. Izayoi. But.. how could she be his real mother when his real mother was dead?

Dark purple and grey clouds formed in the sky, and a huge green hand shot from the clouds...the hand seemed familiar in some way...

I opened the box, and suddenly my fears came true. In the box was this green, hand thing. I pulled it out and started at it, not sure what to make of it.

"That is a mummified Kappa's hand. It brings good luck. Its history begins with..."

I felt a smirk appear on my face as I noted the similarities to this monster hand and my birthday present. But then my smirk was replaced with a frown of horror as the hand crushed the carriage that held Izayoi within. The monster that was attached to the hand, was gigantic. Dark green, red horns.. yellow glowing eyes. It grasped Inuyasha's mother, Izayoi, in his hand, crushing her weak human body, which I could now see was bound by thick iron chains.

Inuyasha growled and shot forward toward the youkai. I followed after him. They couldn't do that to her. Flames appeared abruptly, shooting toward us. It whizzed past.. missing us by mere inches. I landed on the ground beside Inuyasha, staring in shock at the two figures standing casually on the youkai's shoulder.

One was a small green toad, with hands that had more a resemblance to my deceased present than the giant. The other a feminine looking man, with ankle length silver hair, high cheek bones, with eyes the same shade of gold as Inuyasha's although his were hard and cold.. Their scents were slightly similar, but the new man smelled more of youkai than anything.

"Jaken." The silvered haired man breathed, staring down upon Inuyasha. "We'll talk first, kill later."

"Yes, my lord." Replied the toad, holding a large wooden staff in his hands. The staff had two heads carved into the wood. One a human woman.. the other a old youkai man.

"Sesshoumaru! You bastard!" Inuyasha shouted, getting to his feet. The name was familiar.. Meoga had mentioned it once.. or twice in his stay.

"Oh..? Well done, it seems you've remember.." The silvered haired youkai said, his face slightly amused. "..the face of your elder brother."

Eh? Elder brother? INUYASHA HAD A BROTHER AND HE NEVER TOLD ME!? God I feel so betrayed..

Sesshoumaru's eyes flicked to mine, and a smirk appeared on his pale face. "Well if it isn't another pathetic hanyou. Well I'll have to admit, little brother, you've finally done better. At least she's the improved version of the trash you used to be with."

My eyes narrowed and a growled escaped my lips. He was talking about Kikyou. Inuyasha glanced at me, then looked at his older brother again.

"Inuyasha, a hanyou whose mother is a vile creature like a human.." Sesshoumaru hissed, pulling on the chain wrapped around Inuyasha's mother's neck. "You have brought shame upon our family."

A low formidable growl spat through Inuyasha's teeth. "Sesshoumaru, you bastard.. Did you come all this fucking way just to say that?"

Sesshoumaru scoffed and folded his arms over his chest. "Moron.. I do not have that much spare time. I've come to ask you for the location of Chichi-ue's tomb."

"Oyaji's tomb!?" He shouted back. "I dunno. I have no clue."

Wow.. despite their recent squabbles they seem to get along great!

"Is that so?" Sesshoumaru questioned. "Well then, it can't be helped.. your mother will just have to suffer."

The giant youkai crushed Izayoi harder in it's fist, and she cried out in pain. Uh.. I take back the 'getting along great' thing..

Inuyasha scoffed, but glared at Sesshoumaru, unmoving and still. "Keh! Think I'm stupid, you bastard!? Ofukuro's been dead for years! You phony.."

Sesshoumaru chuckled, his face full of amusement. "What a moron you are.. When especially for your sake, your mothers soul.. was brought back from the land of the dead.. I even gave her a body."

Oh great! Another resurrected person! First it was the Centipede jourou, then Inuyasha, then Kikyou and now Inuyasha's mother!? Who next!? My pet goldfish, that's been dead for 8 years, is holding up his fin! Resurrect him next!

Izayoi reached out her hand weakly toward her son. "Inu.. Inuyasha.." She gasped. "Don't concern yourself with me.. as my body has died once already.." The green youkai dug it's claws into her flesh, and she cried out in pain.

"Shit!" Inuyasha shouted, jumping toward the green giant. "Sankon Testusou!" Gold light appeared from his claws and the youkai's hand was slashed to pieces. Izayoi plummeted toward the ground. I felt my heart skip a beat and I sprinted until I was directly under her, trying to catch her.. but I ended up sprawled down in the dirt, her landing on top of me. Ugh.. I was no good at this.

I heard Sesshoumaru chuckle, watching me carefully. "Your hanyou girlfriend is quite amusing Inuyasha."

"I'M NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND!!"I shouted, helping Izayoi up into a sitting position.

"INUYASHA!" She shouted. I snapped my head up searching for the reason of her shouting. Sesshoumaru was shooting toward Inuyasha, who was under the feet of the green youkai. A blinding white light appeared between Izayoi's hands, and it grew to an enormous size, swallowing us in a vortex of white light.

°°•. .•°ღ°•. .•°°

Inuyasha opened his eyes, the warmth from the earth below and the sound of a babbling brook awakening him from his sleep. He was in a garden, a crystal clear stream flowed into a small pond with water lily's floating on the surface. The garden was covered by a light mist, and a small temple stood in the background.

Kaori lay on her side, facing toward him. Her hair covered her body, and her black tail had wrapped itself around one of her legs. She seemed uninjured, and at ease, so he let her sleep. There didn't seem to be any danger here.

He looked around him, taking in the mysterious scene before him. "This is..?"

"The border between this world and the next." He looked up, to see his mother smiling down at him. "I shall return to the other world from here."

He stood up to face her properly. Her smile widened as she stared into his eyes. "Inuyasha.. It seems you've really grown up.."

"Well.. yeah." He replied, shifting his weight from foot to foot. "I was just a brat when you died."

"I'm sorry.." She sighed, staring at her pale hands, which were folded gently in front of her. "It must have been very painful for you."

"Not really." He said casually. "You shouldn't blame yourself, anyway."

"Inuyasha.."
