Who's that Youkai? by RedBeanBun

It Starts!

Inuyasha of course belongs to the amazing Rumiko Takahashi

The wind blew fiercely through the trees and Kagome swept back her bangs with a hand carelessly. Naraku was defeated once and for all and peace reigned throughout Sengoku Jidai, but when Kagome made the wish on the Shikon no Tama she found out that she was stuck on this side of the well forever. Well at least I don't have to agonize over a decision anymore. Kagome grinned at the memory of her friends’ clamoring excitedly with the news.  Sango had tears in her eyes!

"Kagome! Are you ready yet?" Shippo pouted as he emerged from the trees. "You should hurry I think I heard Sango freaking out" he said as he made a face and ran back towards where Inuyasha was.

"Coming!" She quickly checked her reflection in the pond one last time and saw that her kimono was still clean and her elegant updo was still in place. Grinning, she walked briskly towards the village to Kaede's hut and saw Sango hyperventilating on the floor.

"Oh god, I can't do this" she wheezed repeatedly. "Quick Kagome, let's run off and live by ourselves! We don't need men!" Sango clutched her sides. "Why did I even consider marrying that perverted monk" Sango muttered darkly.

Kagome tried to suppress the laughter that was threatening to come out of her. "Sango-chan calm down, Miroku may be perverted but he loves and cares for you. You can see it in his eyes, and if you ever need help beating him into submission you can always come to me." Kagome snickered. It’s good to see Sango panicking for once.

Kagome walked up to her and patted her shoulder comfortingly and gave her sister’s outfit a critical eye. "Girl you look good," she whistled lowly, nodding. “Miroku won’t be able to leave you alone tonight.” Kagome wagged her eyebrows up and down. Sango blushed, she wore a traditional red silk uchikake with golden leaves embroidering it and a inner pure white kimono. Her hair was fastened by a butterfly and orchid pin which set off the rouge on her lips and the whiteness of her skin. Hmmm. The new item would be the kimono she got from Sesshoumaru(An unexpected gift). The old item would be the necklace Kaede-baachan gave to Sango and… I’ve got it! “Sango here, wear this for the wedding!” Kagome passed over a beautiful golden dragon cuff that would match perfectly with the red and gold of her kimono. This would be something borrowed and blue!

“It’s beautiful.” The taijiya gasped as she looked at the golden body and the piercing sapphire eyes that reminded her of her best friend. “Are you sure Kagome this seems really special to you,” she bit her lip worryingly. I always see Kagome wearing it everyday.

“It’s fine, I want my best friend to be wearing something of mine. Also it completes your look” Kagome smiled. The two girls have been through a lot together- the sorrow of Kohaku, the battle of Naraku, and Kagome’s drama over Inuyasha. They consider themselves as sisters, even if they were not blood related.

“I must say, your traditions from your era are very strange” quirked a brow.

“C’mon you know it’s fun” she laughed.

The miko led her through the forest towards a meadow that was blooming with wild flowers. Spring was about and you could see deer grazing along the way with bluebirds chirping in the air. Sango was visibly shaking as they neared the final location. Kagome whispered into her ear “It’s now or never” and gave her a small push into the clearing.

The villagers, Inuyasha, Kohaku, and Jaken made up the crowd gathered in the meadow and they parted like the red sea, leaving a narrow path towards Miroku and Kaede. Shippo and Rin rode Kirara down the aisle as they threw pink flower petals everywhere while carrying the rings. Kagome slipped quickly to the front with Inuyasha and Kohaku, both watching and waiting for Sango. The sun shone brightly upon Sango’s face as she took a deep breath and slowly walked down the aisle keeping her eyes on Miroku the entire time. With each step her confidence grew as she saw the monk looking delectably handsome in a black haori and gray hakama, they smiled brightly at each other. Kagome could see the devotion the two had for each other as she saw their eyes and her heart ached. I wish I could find my special someone someday also. Maybe Inuyasha will come around. The miko recalled how Kikyo managed to live after Naraku was defeated and how happy Inuyasha looked. Shaking her and giving herself a slap mentally, she focused on the events at hand.

“You are now man and wife” Kaede congratulated the couple happily. Hopefully I can have some grandchildren running around soon. The crowd cheered as the couple kissed and proceeded to the banquet. Inuyasha had reluctantly made an enormous long table and a dance floor out of materials from the forest using his claws.

“Aneue, congratulations” Kohaku cried.

“Thank you Kohaku, everyone” Sango smiled.

 Surprising everyone, Sesshomaru flew overhead.

“Sesshoumaru-sama! Did you see Rin throwing the pretty pink flowers” his ward jumped up and down happily.

“SESSHOUMARU-SAMA” squawked Jaken. “YOU GRACE US WITH YOUR PRESCENCE.” Turning towards the crowd, “You filthy humans bow down to our mighty lord!” The toad screamed at everyone.

“Quiet Jaken” he glared. Sesshoumaru closed his eyes in irritation and he flew away as if chased by something. Everyone, momentarily distracted by the daiyoukai returned to mingling and eating.

Kagome looking for Inuyasha, saw the back of his firerat robe and followed him. I wonder where he’s going. Kagome weaved through the crowd declining offers to dance. She jogged quietly following Inuyasha. Why’s he going so far away. I need to ask him if he was serious when he asked me to marry him. If he loves me, I will. But why does he only think of Kikyo... She slowed to a stop and hid behind a tree. Slightly gasping as she saw Kikyou.

“Kikyou why were you calling me” he said nervously. I hope no one notices I’m missing. “You know it’s Miroku and Sango’s wedding.”

“Why would you want to stay with them and not I” Kikyou glared, crossing her arms and tapping her foot impatiently. “You said you’ll love me forever, did you forget your oath!”

“No, I-“

“And why are you still with that bitch Kagome” cutting him off. “I thought you were going to kill her and get my soul back” she said as she twined her arms around his neck.

“Keh. I will, I’ll kill that stupid wench after the wedding” the hanyou gruffly said as he kissed the deceased miko.

Tears falling down her cheeks, Kagome ran into forest, unconcerned of the branches hitting her, she sobbed. How could he do this to me, I TRUSTED him. How could I be so stupid. Angrily she wiped away her tears as she neared a river. Washing her face with cool water she calmed down. I’ll deal with him later; I don’t want to upset Sango and Miroku. Kagome turned around and widened her blue eyes. There was Sesshoumaru resting against a tree with his haori ripped by what seems like, claws. His chest bared, she slightly blushed. It’s fine. It’s fine. It’s just a normal chest just like any other. “Are you alright Sesshoumaru-sama?” Concerned, she walked up to him, preparing to heal him.

Snarling, the daiyoukai took a huge swipe at her with his poisonous claws. “Whore, step away from me!” Growls reverberated throughout the forest as his golden eyes turned into an inhuman shade of red. Kagome screamed as her back hit the floor; poison ate through her chest and it was burning. What the HELL. Kagome winced as she looked down and saw four gashes going down her neck to her heart.

“Do not even think the notion you can mate with I, bitch.” He stood up and walked towards her limp body. “You are beneath this Sesshoumaru” the daiyoukai growled as he proceeded to step on the miko’s injury with his boot.

WHAT THE FUCK is going on! She winced. Why would he even think I want to mate with him! I mean yeah he breaks the gorgeous meter, but his personality is just down the drain. A dirty broken drain. I’m going to die here, all alone, without ever knowing the reason and it's all due to a psychopathic dog. Bewildered, angry, and scared, Kagome slowly accepted her fate.

“Lord Sesshoumaru” purred a feminine voice. Suddenly a very naked lady with beautiful long silver hair and golden eyes rimmed with red, slinked her way up to the lord and caressed his chest with her long claws. “Leave that maggot alone and join me in bed, hmmm?” she offered throatily.

Maggot? I’m a maggot now?  Kagome, angry and even more humiliated kept silent and waited for death.

Flaring his youki, the daiyoukai continued his abuse on the miko. “This Sesshoumaru does not think you are worthy to be his mate” he sneered, stepping harder onto Kagome’s chest, cracking a few ribs. “All the females this Sesshoumaru has met have been weak and useless.” Apparently finished, he jumped into the sky and flew away.

“Human slut, you dare try to mate with a youkai” the naked beauty eyed Kagome disdainfully before jumping up and chasing after her prey. Alone and in pain, she closed her eyes.

Kagome… Kagome… KAGOME! She opened her eyes and everywhere was white. Zeroing in on the figure in front of her she gasped. “Dad?” The man in front of her was indeed her father, for he looked the same as the day he died. “Am I dead” she said amazed.

“Hey kiddo” he smiled,” well you can be… or you can have another chance at life.”

“What do you mean?”

“Lucky for you, my father was someone special. Also it isn’t your time to join me yet. The only catch is that you’re going to be a youkai when you return.”

“Someone special? Turning into a youkai? I don’t even know how to live as a youkai and also my cold dead body is all alone in a forest right now. Probably being eaten by birds.” Blue eyes glared at her father’s own blue eyes as she sulked.

“No questions!” Laughing, he hugged his daughter and said “Don’t worry, there’s someone out there watching you and she will help. I love you.” With a wink her father disappeared.

Gasping, Kagome sat up and looked around, she was still at the same exact spot she died and blood soaked her clothes. Remembering the reason of WHY she died, she couldn’t help but laugh at the ridiculousness of it. Slowly her anger grew and soon turned into a mass of hatred against the inuyoukai brothers. First Inuyasha betrays her for the dead bitch. Secondly, Sesshoumaru calls her a whore and kills her while she was trying to help him. What dismal luck. Rolling over, she looked up into the night sky and noticed a full moon was out. With her new heightened senses she crinkled her delicate nose in disgust at the smell of her own filth. Standing up, she proceeded to look for a hot spring. Hmmm. Sulfur and water, she sniffed. Northeast. Running towards the location she found that her speed increased exponentially and she took delight in her physical prowess. I feel different. But good different, better even. I can get used to this. Laughing and jumping from branch to branch, she dived into the nearest hot spring. Shaking her head, Kagome removed her ruined clothes and began scrubbing all the evidence of her attack Sesshoumaru left on her. She narrowed her eyes in disgust. While the long gashes healed, there was a small puckered scar right over her heart. Kagome was not a vain girl, she had gained numerous scars from her quest against Naraku and was fine with it, proud even. Yet  somehow this scar irked her. Enraged her. No man should ever mark me. Her beast growled, already bearing a grudge on a certain daiyoukai. Howling to the moon, she swore her revenge.

“Hello there little one.” A female demoness with braided silver hair said as she landed right in front of Kagome. Seemingly had dropped from the skies.

Taken aback, Kagome’s eyes zoomed in onto the demoness’s markings.  A hauntingly familiar indigo crescent moon on the forehead, magenta stripes on the cheek, and magenta lining her eyes. “You are Sesshoumaru’s mother.” I will not discriminate based on familial bonds. She could tell she was as strong as or even stronger than Sesshoumaru, just on her youki alone.

Eyes twinkling, “I understand your wariness but fear not, I do not mean harm” using her youki to calm her she took Kagome’s hand and pulled her out of the hot spring. Kagome, no longer ashamed of her nakedness due to her human sensibilities being gone, asked “What are you here for?”

“I am Lady Tsukino of the Western Lands” she paused, “I am here to take you on as my disciple.”

Inuyasha heard a howl filled with anger and vengeance. For some reason, he felt he knew who that person was. Shaking his head he drifted back to sleep with a naked Kikyou in his arms.

Lord Sesshoumaru shivered involuntarily as he heard an unfamiliar howl. Angry that he could not control his own body, he stalked off to his rooms. This Sesshoumaru is afraid of no one.
