Chapter 14: A Little Help from a Future Desendent.
Sesshomaru and Kira entered the empty house and followed Sukimaru into the family room. Haku was silent but clung to Kira for dear life.
Kira couldn't help but trust her for some reason. She was letting off an aura that was making her feel relaxed.
"Sit." Sukimaru said as she flopped on the recliner.
Sesshomaru and Kira took a seat on the couch and looked at the gaurdian before them.
"So what did you want to talk to us about?' Kira asked as she let Haku sit on the couch between her and the demon lord.
"It's about our future. And the fact that that basturd Naraku is trying to get our powers in the fuedal era." Sukimaru said as she sat up straight in the recliner. "Hoshimaru said she had a vision of me speaking to you guys soon about this and i guess i had no choice in the matter." She said as she sighed. "Though why it couldn't be her i will never understand.
"Hoshimaru?" Kira started smiling as she placed her hands on her stomach. "So our daughter is going to be named Hoshimaru?"
"Yep. And you're son is going to be Kenji. Just like you guys wanted them to be named. Or so your older selves keep telling us." Sukimaru said as she started twirling a lock of silver hair around her clawed figure. "And there's also Haku. He's back at the mansion right now though. He may be immortal but he's still able to get sick for some reason. He currently has the flu and Kenji and Hoshimaru and taking care of him while i get stuck doing this." She then stopped playing with her hair and sighed. "But that's not what we need to talk about right now. What i need to tell you involves little Haku and my soon to be born self. Not to mention your future children."
Kira nodded while Sesshomaru remained silent.
Sukimaru took a deep breath and sighed. "We gaurdians are all going to be in grave danger if you don't destory Naraku soon while we are all still infents. Well toddler in Haku's case."
"We already figured this. And we are already searching for the filth as we speak." Sesshomaru said as he stared at his future neise.
"I know. Mom told me of the search and of how you all defeated Naraku. She told it to us as a bedtime story when we were kids."
"Are you going to tell us how to defeat Naraku?" Kira asked as she looked hopeful at the gaurdian.
"I am told by my master not to reveal events that will effect the out come of the final battle and possibly effect the future." She sounded annoyed. "He pracically drilled that into my head when we were learning how to control our gaurdian powers. But there are certain elements of the final battle that he told me that i will be able to reveal to you two."
"And who is this master of yours?" Sesshomaru asked as he mindlessly held Haku close to him.
"That is also something i'm not allowed to reveal." She said as she looked at her uncle. "But i am allowed to say that you'll meet him soon after you save your mother from that basturd Naraku in about three months. Pay attention to dad when Lady Inukimi is with you guys. She's going to be traveling with you while mom is here relaxing and getting ready to give birth to me. But dad will be traveling with you about a week after i'm born. Which is going to be about two weeks from the delivery date the doctor predicted."
Sesshomaru nodded and made a mental note of that.
"Anyway." Sukimaru said as she sighed. "Another thing i am allowed to tell you is that Naraku is going to be destoryed sometime before Kira's time to deliver. Naraku is going to be up to his old tricks and stuff but there is a way to premenently destory him."
"And that would be?" Kira asked as she still had her hands on her flat stomach.
"The Shikon Jewel." Sukimaru just stared them both down.
Both demons stared at the gaurdian before them.
"The...the Shikon jewel? But how?" Kira said as she placed her hand over her heart, where a shard of the jewel was hidden under the fabric.
"Very soon, Naraku is getting to be irritated with not being able to kidnapped the infent gaurdians and go back to stealing the remaining jewel shards. Of which there are only four left." She said as she showed four clawed fingers. "The two the flea bitten wolf Koga has, the one in Kohaku's back, and..." She looked dicrectly at Kira. "....The one you are holding onto right now Kira. And there's no point in hiding it from me. My priestess powers are strong and i can see it right there over your heart."
Sesshomaru looked at Kira in shock. "You have a shard of the Shikon Jewel?"
"Yeah. I've had it on me for the past for years. Had it ever since I slayed that lizard demon a week before my sixteenth birthday." She said as she smiled nervously and took out the jewel shard..
"How come i've never sensed until now?" He asked as he just stared at the shard.
"I can answer that one." Sukimaru said as she stratched her dog ear. "Since she had the jewel shard on her for the past four years, her demonic aura covered that of the shard. But since she had no real use for the shard, it remained pure and soon became one with her heart. It remains pure as long as her heart remains pure. And since she is pregnant, it's as pure as it's going to get." She said as she leaned back in the chair. "But since it's aura is covered by a demonic arua, it's going to make Naraku go nuts over where it is. But he's going to think it's complete until the final battle when he finally senses it."
"But how can the jewel destroy Naraku?" Sesshomaru asked as he looked back over at the gaurdian.
"Light will destory him." She said as she smirked. "Naraku will be afraid of the pure light that not only the corrupted jewel will soon have, but also of Kagome's power as well. But the light from your jewel shard Kira will eventually kill him for good. You just need to make sure that jewel stays pure."
Sesshomaru nodded. "I understand."
"Me too. I'll make sure this shard stays on me at all times." Kira said as she placed a hand over her heart where the shard was.
Haku didn't notice anything. He was currently sleeping on Sesshomaru's fluff.
Kira looked over at the boy and sighed. "But what about Haku and yourself when you are born? How are we going to protect them?"
Sukimaru sighed and the reached into her pocket. Once she found what she was looking for, she stood and walked over to the couch where they were all sitting on. She pulled out her hand and revealed a small black beaded bracelet with a single white fang on it. She pulled the bracelet on Haku's wrist and then stood.
"What is that?" Kira asked as she looked at the bracelet.
"That bracelet is made from the beads and fangs of my father's rosery. Mom finally decided to take it off him once Naraku was destoried. He swore to never leave her for anything and so mom took off the rosery. But she had his favorite red collar enchanted with the Subdueing Spell just in case." Sukimaru said as she stood before them. "Mom never did fully trust dad but she didn't say the subdueing word since she put the collar on him."
"But what is the purpose of this bracelet now?" Sesshomaru asked as he looked at the gaurdian.
"It'll hide Haku's scent, aura, and power. He'll become invisable to those who try and hunt him down. Mainly Naraku." She said as she took out a pocket watch from inside her haorie. She then sighed and put the watch away. "I'm a gaurdian and yet the gods don't make it so fellow gaurdians know when to call."
"Are you expecting a call from the others?" Kira asked as she looked up at Sukimaru.
"Yeah. Kenji was suppose to contact me to let me know when the coast was clear back at the mansion. The master absolutly forbade me from meeting you today. But i escaped last night so that i would be able to talk with you. Because as you know, once Hoshimaru has a vision, nothing can stop it from coming true." She said as she looked at Kira.
Kira nodded. "But did Kenji get the gift of foresight too?"
Sukimaru sighed. "I really didn't want to spoil everything for you too but the terms of the gift for Hoshimaru and Kenji are odd. Kenji sees the bad stuff that's about to happen where Hoshimaru sees the good stuff. Me meeting you guys today was one of the good visions she got. And unfortunatly, Kenji got one last night."
"What did he see?" Sesshomaru asked as he looked at the gaurdian.
"Just you and the others fighting Kagura this morning. And Kira running away for some reason but Haku said that he received the bracelet today when he was a toddler so we all guess you were running away with him." Sukimaru said as she went back over to the recliner. "Anyway. You two better get going and head back to the past. I'm going to be hanging around here for a while until i get the signel from Kenji. And don't forget that Christmas will be in a few days. You're going to be getting something special from all of us. Something that will help you all in the coming battle with Naraku."
Both nodded and stood. Kira carefully took the sleeping Haku into her arms as Sesshomaru already headed outside.
"Kira." The demoness jumped as she heard Sukimaru right behind her.
She turned around and faced the gaurdian before her. "Yes?" She noticed that Sukimaru had a saddened look on her face.
Sukimaru looked up and stared longing at her future aunt. "Take care of mother and father, Kagome and Inuyasha i mean. This battle is going to be hard on them the most."
"What do you mean?" Kira was confused as she looked at the gaurdian.
"From what mother told me in the bedtime story, the dark Shikon jewel will corrupt Inuyasha's heart and make his demon blood wake up, causing him to do something unforgivable."
"What?"
Sukimaru looked away. "I wish i could tell you but i can't. The master made it clear not to reveal improtent details about the final battle." She then looked back into the sapphire eyes of Kira. "But just know that you have to protect Kagome at all costs. Or i'm not going to know her as i grow up."
Kira stared at her and then noticed the hint. Not saying anything, she smiled and nodded. "I promise i'll protect her Sukimaru. Not matter what."
Sukimaru smiled and nodded. "Thank you Kira. You better get going. I can sense Sesshomaru is wondering what is taking you so long.'
She nodded. "You sure you're going to be okay by yourself?"
"Yeah. I've had worse with that old man anyway. I'm used to his punishments." She said as she followed the demoness out of the house.
Kira laughed. "You're just like Inuyasha. Always getting into trouble."
"Hey it's not my fault the old man keeps finding ways to punish me!" Sukimaru complained as they were now outside.
Kira just laughed more while Sukimaru relocked the door with another spell.
"What's so funny?" Sesshomaru asked as he looked at the girls.
"Nothing dear." She said as she held Haku close to her.
Then all three froze when they heard something landed behind them. They all turned and Kira thought she was seeing double.
Standing before them was a clone of Sesshomaru, except he seemed to have sapphire eyes and Kira's haorie.
"Kenji? Is the coast clear?" Sukimaru asked as she went over to him.
"Yes. The Master left only a minute ago for a meeting at father's company. He'll be back within a few hours. I informed him that you were out shopping. That seemed to convince him." Said the boy the demons now knew to be their son.
Sesshomaru was the first to step forward. "Kenji?"
Kenji looked up at the mention of his name. "Yes father?"
"You look like me. Only with your mother's eyes."
Kenji was silent for a while as he started at his younger father. "Sister has your eyes."
They were then both silent until Sukimaru cleared her throut. "As much fun as this might seem, I have to get going before the Master kills me."
"Indeed." Kenji said as he wrapped an arm around the half demon priestess. "I have to be going now father. You will be meeting me and my sister very soon." He said as he looked over at Kira. He bowed his head to her and smiled softly. "Take good care of Haku mother. And Sukimaru too when she is born." He was then surrounded by a glowing sphere and took off into the air.
Kira walked up beside Sesshomaru and they both looked up at the sky where the light disappeared.
"Kenji. He is going to make a fine son." Sesshomaru said as he silently wrapped his arm around his mate, his hand resting on her stomach.
Kira smiled. "Yes he is. And from the sound of it, so will Hoshimaru."
The demon lord nodded and the escorted his mate back to the well.
