I do not own InuYasha.
Chapter 1
The strange storm
"Inuyasha let's set up came," Miroku suggested calmly.
"No, we have to keep going." Inuyasha grumbled.
"Inuyasha we're resting now. It's late and we're tired!" Kagome argued.
"You humans are week, we aren't resting yet." Inuyasha argued back. Miroku, Shippo, and Sango were already setting up camp. Knowing that Kagome would eventually win this argument again.
"Inuyasha.." Kagome growled out. Her dark brown eyes seemed to be burning through him. "SIT BOY!"
Shippo watched as Inuyasha plummeted to the unforgiving earth floor once again. Miroku paused as did Sango to watch. It never got old, seeing this happen. Inuyasha jumped up as soon as the spell let him.
"What was that for wen-" Inuyasha started but was cut off by a loud boom. It almost sounded like thunder, but it wasn't. The sky seemed to rip in half with blinding light. As soon as it came the light was gone, and the sky was 'sewn' back together. And the boom was replaced by a scream. A small figure could be seen falling from the sky. On instinct Inuyasha jumped straight towards the figure, and caught it easily. The scream stopped, and Inuyasha landed with a small bundle in his arms. Shippo immitadly jumped onto his shoulder to see as the rest of the group leaned in closer. A small hanyo girl was cling to Inuyasha, with her ears pressed firmly against her head and her eyes clenched shut. Her outfit looked similar to Inuyasha's the only difference was the color, her's was a dark pink.
"Is she dead?" Shippo asked.
"No, she's just scared." Miroku said. He smiled a little as her left ear perked up towards the voices. Her ears were white with black tips and her hair was long silver white just like Inuyasha's. Slowly her amber eyes blinked open and met Inuyasha's, who stared at her just as curiously as she was staring at him. She finally left his eyes to survey everyone else, her death grip on Inuyasha lessening a little. So not to startle her, Inuyasha gently set her down on the ground, and she promptly clung to his pant leg much to everyone's surprise. Kagome and Sango both knelt down to talk to the little one.
"She looks like you Inuyasha," Miroku noted quietly as the said girl scooted closer to Inuyasha when the girls knelt to her eye level.
"Smells like him to," Shippo stated.
"Yea..but why? And that light." Inuyasha replied quietly. Trying to ignore the voice in him that said to hold her again. It had felt strange when he had her cuddled in his arms.
"That is curious, maybe she'll tell us. Then again she looks so young she might not really know," Miroku responded with a shrug.
"She's three and her name is Kiya," Sango stated as she straightened.
"She won't tell us much. She said her uncle told her not to, incase it worked. But..Inuyasha she did tell us something. Kiya said that she was told it was okay to announce this much because everyone would figure it out anyway." Kagome said slowly.
"What's that?" Shippou asked as he leaned forward on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Inuyasha, umm..well. She's from the future and..umm Sango?" Kagome stuttered shifting uncomfortably on her feet. The guy's stares shifted to Sango.
"Inuyasha is her father," Sango stated. Inuyasha glanced down, Kiya was staring at him again.
"Makes since," Miroku stated. "She does look a lot like him. That means the uncle who did this was..Sesshoumaru."
"Why'd he send her here though?" Inuyasha asked breaking eye contact with the child again.
"She said something about lots of fighting, we're thinking there's a bad war." Kagome explained.
"With who?" Miroku asked.
"All Kiya said was he looks like a monkey," Sango stated.
"A Monkey?" Miroku asked again, sweat dropping. "That's a lot of help."
"I guess we're to take care of her till the war is over." Kagome said softly.
"How will we know when the war is over?" Miroku asked.
"She doesn't know," Sango replied. Kagome was avoiding Inuyasha's eyes nervously.
"Owwww!" Shippou suddenly yelped. Everyone just noticed he was on the ground and Kiya was glaring at him. Inuyasha blinked, and Kagome picked Shippou up.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Kagome asked him panicking.
"She bit me!" Shippo cried pointing an accusing finger at Kiya who was still glaring at him. Inuyasha glanced at Kiya and tried not to laugh. She had gone from glaring to sticking her tongue out at Shippo to looking innocent. Kagome didn't know what to do.
"Why?" Kagome finally said over Inuyasha's snickering.
"Daddy told Kiya to," Kiya stated. Her voice sounded so soft, like feathers.
"I did not!" Inuyasha choked.
"Did too!" Kiya argued.
"Inuyasha, you probably said something along the lines..umm in her time." Miroku stated wearing a smile.
"Well, don't bit people anymore Kiya." Kagome said. Her answer was a pout.
Well there's chapter one. Umm. What do you think? Come on review and rate and comment please.
