Inuyasha Regashi
"so that's what happened?" Kagome said
"how in the world did they come back to life in the first place?" Sango said.
"Itaru, tell me, when you bumped into the glass of time, which one did you bump into, the one on the left or the one on the right?" Myoga asked.
"ummm…the right one?" Itaru said.
"that cant be! How could the Vial of the Good have produced such an effect?! Are you sure that it was the one on the right?" myoga said.
"yeah im sure…right is this way, right?" itaru said pointing left.
Everyone sweat dropped in embarrassment.
"NO! ITS NOT! WAS IT LEFT OR RIGHT?!" Myoga shouted.
"uh im pretty sure that it was on this side though…" itaru said pointing left.
'yup he's inuyasha's son alright…' miroku thought dismally.
"hmmm now that makes more sense…you said that some of the liquid from the bottom leaked from the top, right?" myoga asked.
"yeah, it did. But what does that have to do with anything?" itaru asked.
"everything. Even if the glasses of time are disturbed even in the slightest, there will be terrible adverse effects. People who have died in the last fifty years would come back to life and walk in the land of the living once more." myoga informed.
"so that explains it all!"miroku said.
"so that must mean that…" kagome began
"Naraku is back in their time too!" inuyasha surmised.
"yeah I guess so…" itaru said.
"ugghh! Io thought that I would be done with that creep Jakotsu!" inuyasha shouted. "and its all your fault, you clumsy idiot!"
"who are you calling a clumsy idiot, huh?!" itaru shouted back.
inuyasha yanked him by his tail, rendering quite helpless. inuyasha stared into his eyes with a menacing expression.
"now now, is that any way to talk to your father?" inuyasha asked.
itaru's face turned pale and sweated profusely.
"uh oh! itaru is in trouble now!" meimei said.
"now if I remember correctly, you called me quite an unkind name a little while ago. now what was it that you called me? oh yeah! an asshole?" inuyasha said.
itaru gulped nervously. "well, you know, it was a heated moment, and moments like those, you say things you dont mean, right?!" itaru bumbled to explain.
inuyasha raised his hand and brought it down smartly on his rear end.
itaru squeaked at the painful embarrassment of his father's discipline.
"Oh!" the group gasped at inuyasha's gesture.
"thats gotta hurt!" Shippo said.
"no excuses!" inuyasha exclaimed sternly.
*SPANK!*
"what you did was very disgraceful! how dare you talk to me like that! didnt I teach you any respect!?"
*SPANK!*
"itaru hasnt got a spanking since he was eight! this must be really embarrasing." meimei said.
itaru started to whimper as he felt tears come to his eyes.
"...and for that, I will not forgive you!" (that is considered a very harsh thing to say in japan)
*SPANK!*
"WAAAAAHHHH! IM SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I DIDNT MEAN TO SAY THOSE AWFUL THINGS! PLEASE PLEASE FORGIVE ME, PAPA!"
"wow, I didnt know inuyasha was the spanking type!" sango said.
"being spanked in front of your peers is probably the most embarrasing thing that could happen to a boy; especially at the hand of their father."
inuyasha dropped a sobbing itaru on the ground and turned away from him.
"papa..."
"OH SUCK IT UP, WOULD YOU?! ARE YOU A MAN OR ARENT YA?!" Inuyasha demanded.
itaru stopped crying and looked up at his father admiringly.
"papa, you-"
"and dont start calling me that. im not your father, not yet at least." inuyasha said.
"uh...okay..." itaru nodded.
"now this is certainly a problem. how can we help you two?" miroku said.
"yes, how did you two get here in the first place?" sango said.
"oh, we came through the well!"meimei answered.
"well that makes sense, only me and inuyasha can pass through the well." kagome said.
"but thats still a problem, if only you, inuyasha, itaru and meimei can pass through the well, how are you four supposed to defeat our old enemies?" miroku said.
"yes, even if there are the two of both of you, you guys wont stand a chance without all of us there." sango said.
"what are we going to do?" shippo said.
the group stood to think for a moment until a voice from the trees echoed,
"i believe i can be of assistance." a petite figure appeared
a girl stood above them on a tree branch with silvery white hair, golden eyes and dressed in a rich kimono. she jumped in front of the group with impeccable grace.
"who the hell are you supposed to be?!" inuyasha demanded.
"KAZUKA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" itaru and meimei said.
"Kazuka? Who is that girl you guys?" shippo asked.
"thats our cousin." itaru said.
"YOUR COUSIN?!" the group shouted.
"that means-" kagome began.
"that this girl is-" sango said.
"there is no other explanation!" miroku said.
"your assuptions are correct. I am Kazuka, princess of the western lands. Daughter of the new Inu no Taisho: Sesshomaru.
"SESSHOMARU'S DAUGHTER?!" the group shouted.
"but who in hell would want to mate with that royal asshole?!" inuyasha exclaimed.
R "you watch your tongue! lord sesshomaru can have whomever he pleases!" said a small voice from Kazuka's shoulder.
"who said that just now?" shippo said.
"Roga? Is that you?" myoga said.
"oh its you myoga. Is been a while, you look as cowardly as ever." roga said.
"smartmouthed as ever I see..."myoga grumbled.
"myoga, who is that?"
"roga and I were the vassals assigned to inuyasha's father and sesshomaru's mother when they were but pups. It cant be that the lady mother is no more?!" myoga asked.
"lady Tomono is alive and well. She resides in the west with sesshomaru and his wife." roga explained.
"his wife..." inuyasha took another whiff towards Kazuka and his eyes widened realizing the other scent laced with sesshomaru's.
"no, it cant be...my brother would never..."
"say, who exactly is your mother Kazuka?" kagome said.
"my mother's name is Rin." Kazuka said simply.
The group froze in shock.
"my brother is a cradle robber?! but she is just a little girl!" inuyasha stuttered.
"lady rin is a child no more! She is the beautiful, graceful lady of the west and the beloved wife of lord sesshomaru!" Roga said.
"but how can that be? I thought that sesshomaru hated humans and hanyous alike!" sango said.
"if my father hated hanyous so much, would he have made a decree stating that anyone found to have harmed a hanyou is a crime punishable by death?" Kazuka said.
"a crime punishable by death? Wow, sesshomaru really has changed!" kagome said.
"you said that there was a way that you could help us, please elaborate." miroku asked.
"but wait, how did you get here in the first place, Kazuka?" meimei asked.
"my grandmother and I discovered what had happened at your village and that you both had been flung back into time. Grandmother lent me her meidou stone to use." Kazuka explained.
"the meidou stone?" myoga said.
"the meidou stone is a stone that can open the portal to the netherworld. When pressed against a sacred tree, it creates a portal through time and space. I was able to walk through and follow you two, so that you both do not do anything to ruin history itself." Kazuka said.
"no one asked you to come and follow us!" meimei said.
"i had no choice. My grandmother had other things to do, and my father surely would have his hands full killing off the reborn. When the two of you are let loose there is no telling what kind of mayhem you will cause." Kazuka said smartly.
"hey! Watch it, you!" meimei warned.
"i am a princess. I have no need to reserve my words to a peasant such as yourself." Kazuka said.
"princess or not, im still a year older than you, you little twit." meimei said, poking her cousin in the head.
"shes sesshomaru's daughter alright..." inuyasha thought.
"you were saying?" miroku interrupted.
"the only way all of you can come back to the past is if you all go through the portal made with the meidou stone." kazuka continued.
"well what are we waiting for?! Lets go!" inuyasha said.
"lead the way, lady Kazuka!" miroku said
Suddenly, they heard a peculiar rumble.
"what was that?" sango asked.
"oh, that was my stomach!" itaru said. I havent eaten since yesterday!" itaru confessed.
"perhaps it is wise that we rest up before we jump into another ordeal like we did yesterday. It seems that this may take a while." sango said.
"im all for that!" kagome said.
"me too!" shippo agreed.
"me three!" meimei echoed.
~0.0~
rin and jaken were sitting by a riverside waiting for sesshomaru to return. Rin was playing in the water, watching the fish swim around her feet.
"haha! There are so many! Could we catch some, master jaken? For later, I mean?" rin asked.
"do you really think lord sesshomaru will let you carry around a dead fish? His nose is incredibly sharp and it will surely disgust him!" jaken rebuked.
"it was just a thought..." rin said. She looked into the river and rememberd the girl that she saw a few nights ago.
"master jaken? Do you have any favorite names?" rin asked.
"what kind of question is that, silly girl?!" jaken spat.
"do you have any favorite names at all, master jaken?" rin asked again.
"hmm...favorite names? I can only think of one, other than my own of course: sesshomaru! yes that is my favorite name! I could say it all day long! Sesshomaru, sesshomaru, sesshomaru, sesshomaru-"*whack!*
jaken was clocked in the head with a rather large stone, leaving a red wound.
"lord sesshomaru! You have returned!" rin cheered.
"rin, you are well, I presume." sesshomaru said in his cool manner.
'I am, lord sesshomaru! Master jaken and I were just thinking of favorite names!" rin said.
Rin stooped down and started drawing in the dirt.
"if I should ever get married, and I have a little girl, I want to name her Kazuka. Dont you think that is a pretty name?" rin said.
"what kind of name is that?!" jaken snapped.
"its a pretty name! and I like it!" rin said defensively.
"we're going." sesshomaru said.
"okay!" rin said, hopping on Ah-Un.
Sesshomaru walked ahead in meditative silence.
'Kazuka, is it?"
