"It's good to see you, Sesshomaru."
"Takako, what are you doing here?" Sesshomaru demanded, sheathing Bakusaiga.
"I was only here introducing myself to your dear little brother." Takako answered, "Don't tell me you're concerned for them?"
"I have no concern for Inuyasha, but I do hold concerns for his offspring."
"I see. This is because you have children of your own, am I right?"
Sesshomaru didn't say anything, but took an offensive stance. Takako waved her hand and said, "Don't bother, Sesshomaru. I'm not here to pick a fight. I'm merely here to say hello and pass through."
The Lord of the West didn't say anything,
All of the demons in InuYasha's Forest fled in terror. They were all alerting other friends and allies that the demon Lady of the South was approaching. This stirred up panic and every demon that couldn't get out of the way in time was slaughtered brutally.
"Make way for the Demoness of the South!" one demon cried.
"It is okay, my pet." the demoness said, "Let them cower in fear. I love to see them squirm in flocks."
"As you wish, My Lady."
The demoness laughed a little and said, "Be prepared for our meeting, Inuyasha. I've waited so long for this day."
"I don't understand how it's so hard to get your daggers that high
"Mama!" a young boy of about four called to a young woman who appeared to be in her twenties. She turned to the boy and smiled, a baby on her back.
"Takeshi." she said, her tone almost silvery, "What is it, my son?"
"Papa's back!"
"He is? Let's go greet him."
The boy named Takeshi and his mother went to their hut, where a man in is late twenties to early thirties was standing near the entrance. He noticed the two people walking/running towards him, his tired eyes shining with relief.
"Takeshi, my boy." He said, picking up the little boy to hug him, "You've grown since I last saw you."
"Welcome home, Papa!" Takeshi s
As the sun rose over the lands of Musashi, Sesshomaru's silhouette could be seen in the early morning light. He had travelled for the past three days to get to Musashi and now that he had arrived, he was seeking out Inuyasha. Needless to say, he had a lot to chew his brother out for.
"Inuyasha, you're such a fool." Sesshomaru commented to himself, "Letting a group of deceased mercenaries into your lands."
Humorously enough, as he passed through the forest, he spotted the Band of Seven asleep nearby. It was actually a funny sight, even to the stern and usually unfazed Lord of the West. Although, Jakotsu's dreams did concern him (alb
Kikyo's scream echoed throughout the forest, getting the attention of the Band of Seven, who turned in the direction of her screaming. Bankotsu immediately recognized who it was and his eyes widened.
"It's Kikyo." He thought, "If she dies, Inuyasha might tear down this entire forest and kill us."
Bankotsu then ran in the direction of Kikyo's screaming, to which Jakotsu yelled, "Bankotsu, where are you going?!"
"I'm going to make sure Kikyo's okay!" Bankotsu replied, "Inuyasha might already be on his way!"
"Inuyasha?! Wait for me, Bankotsu!"
Jakotsu followed Bankotsu, the other members of the Band of Seven following after
"Big brother, how much did you learn about her?" Renkotsu asked that night as the Band of Seven sat down for dinner and made camp.
"She's Inuyasha's eldest daughter, her name is Kikyo, and she's forcing herself to be a priestess." Bankotsu replied before taking a bite of rice.
"Why is she forcing herself?"
"Inuyasha's expectations. Don't know about Kagome's, though. She has a younger sister named Izayoi too."
"She didn't mention her brothers, did she?" Jakotsu asked with a disappointed tone.
"Actually, she did. Kikyo said their names are Tsuyonoru and Minoru. Tsuyonoru's pretty much a copy of Inuyasha and Minoru looks l
"You're one of Inuyasha's daughters?" Bankotsu asked in slight disbelief.
"So what if I am?" Kikyo asked, "What do you want with my father?!"
"Revenge. He's the one who killed me twenty years ago, so I'm here to return the favor."
"How about you turn around and leave? I'm not telling you how to find my father."
"How about I fight you, priestess? If you win, I'll turn around a leave. If not, you have to show me to Inuyasha."
"I'm not that experienced in fighting."
"Really? Hasn't Inuyasha taught you anything?"
"Only my mother has."
"That explains the bow. All right then, I'll try and go easy on you. C
"Dad's home!" Otsuka exclaimed, pointing to Miroku and Inuyasha as they exited the forest. Her twin sister, Yutaka, also noticed this and waved to her father.
"Hello, my darling children!" Miroku yelled from afar. Sango came out to greet her husband, which Miroku did so with a quick kiss, "And how are you fairing, my beloved wife?"
"About as good as a former demon slayer can." Sango replied, Kagome exited the house to greet her own husband. Inuyasha noticed her and set down the two bails of rice, walking over to her and embracing her.
"The kids all right?" he asked.
"Yeah," Kagome answered, "They just miss you is all."
A long time ago, in the Feudal era of Japan's history, there lived a half-demon named Inuyasha. Born to a human mother and a demon father, he was shunned by both humans and demons alike. It wasn't until he met the priestess, Kikyo, that he learned there could be a person that could accept him. However, Kikyo, longing to be a normal woman, convinced Inuyasha to use the Sacred Jewel of the Four Souls to turn himself human so they could live together.
Unknown to Inuyasha, Kikyo was harboring a bandit named Onigumo, who had begun to lust for Kikyo. He made a deal with some demons, who ate his flesh and turned him into the half-demon, Nara
