Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Teenage Trauma

"Come on dad you can do better than this" the young half demon called over her shoulder as she bolted on ahead through the forest. Her father grinned and took of after her quickly.

Hi. My name is Aiko Takahashi. My parents are Inuyasha and Kagome and I'm a quarter demon but as good as a half so call me a half demon.

Inuyasha charged ahead of his daughter and grinned over his shoulder.

"Hey" Aiko shouted and ran on after her dad.

I am an only child, well I have my adopted brother Shippo but he's away most of the time, and I live in a small quiet village with my family. Sometimes we travel to my mom's time to see her family or I go on my own.

They ran through the forest until they reached the small village and dashed past many unsurprised villagers. They ran through a nearby field where a monk was training his 17 year old son.

"Hey Haru!" Aiko called and waved as she ran past him.

"Hi Aiko" Haru called after her and turned his attention back to his training.

That's Haru. He's my best friend. He lives with his parents still and his twin sisters who are 10. Mom told me after I was born Sango was pregnant but lost her baby but then they had twins a couple of years later. So its all good.

Kagome came out of the hut in her priestess outfit waiting for her husband and daughter to appear.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Bingo" she said quietly as the two appeared in front of her.

"Hey mom" Aiko said as she hugged her.

"Hey honey. I hope you didn't work your father to hard" she joked looking over at Inuyasha who was panting slightly.

"He'll live. What's for breakfast I'm starving?" she said and followed her parents inside. They sat down and tucked into their breakfast of ramen and porridge before relaxing beside the open fire.

"Aiko your getting better" Inuyasha said proudly.

"Thanks dad. All that training has been worth it then" she smiled her mother's bright smile. She pushed back her raven black hair and ran her claws through it. "I think I'll go see Haru now. Cya later" she said as she got up and left.

Inuyasha looked up suspiciously at her as she left and Kagome laughed at him.

"What's so funny?" he asked confused.

"You!" she laughed.

"What did I do?"

"The look you gave after her" she giggled.

"Feh".

Aiko brushed off the dust on her priestess robe, made of fur of the fire rat that Inuyasha made for her, and strolled up to Haru who was filling water bottles by the river.

She tip-toed up behind him and poked him in the sides.

"Boo!" she giggled and turned to face him as he dropped the water bottles in fright..

"Aiko you scared the life out of me" he said as his breathing went back to normal and hugged her. She hugged him back and helped him fill up the bottles again.

"You were up training early" he said as he submerged the bottles into the water.

"Yeah. I have to train early so I can do priestess work later" she explained "you were up early too".

"Yeah I have to get as much training done as possible now" he sighed.

"Why?" she asked curiously.

"I'm thinking of leaving the village and going to live in another one" he said quietly.

Aiko's black doggy ears flattened on her head and she looked away.

"Your leaving?" she whispered.

"Yeah probably. Its time for me to move on Aiko" he said sadly.

Tears welled up in Aiko's eyes but she refused to let them fall.

"I see".

Haru then burst out laughing and Aiko looked at him confused.

"What's so funny?" she asked.

"Your face. I'm not going anywhere I just wanted to see how you would react" he laughed. Aiko stood up and was fuming. Haru stood up laughing and put his hand on her arm. She gave him a dirty look and looked down at the river. A thought came to her head and she grabbed his shoulder.

"Lets see how funny this is" she grinned and pushed him into the water but he was quick and grabbed her wrist and pulled her in after him. She screamed out in shock as she pooped above the water and saw Haru coming up grinning with his hair stuck to his head. She grinned back and splashed him with water.

"Oh is that how it is now?" he joked and soaked her with water. They splashed in the water for ages until they started to get cold and got out. Aiko shook herself and pulled her hair till all the water was out while Haru took off his outer robe and twisted it to get the water out. Aiko pulled off her outer robe and twisted it too.

Aiko glared over at him but he just laughed at her.

"You didn't answer my question properly. Why were you up training so early?" she asked.

"Oh yeah right. I was practising making barriers when no one was around but I just can't seem to get them" he sighed.

"Yeah I know the feeling" she sighed "I better get back".

"Ok"

"Say hi to your family from me" she smiled and headed back to her hut at the end of the village. Haru smiled after her and gathered up the water bottles and headed back to his hut too. Aiko smiled inwardly as she remembered them messing in the water. She and Haru had always had a strong bond and she felt he was the only kid in the village who had accepted her for who she was. She made her way back to the hut and smiled happily when she caught the welcoming scent of home. She pushed back the flap on the door and saw her mom and dad laughing by the fire.

"Aiko what happen to you your soaked" Kagome said as she got up and looked Aiko up and down.

"I fell into the river that's all. I'm going to go get changed" she said and went into the next room.

Inuyasha sniffed the air and shook his head "Aiko you didn't 'fall' into the river did you?".

Aiko stopped dead in her tracks but didn't turn to face her dad.

"Ok ok. I pushed Haru in and he pulled me in after him".

"Well that's what you get" Inuyasha laughed and started to tuck into his pot of ramen. Aiko smiled sarcastically at him and went into the other room.

Aiko put on a dry spare kimono and went in a tucked into a pot of ramen too.

"Training again tomorrow dad?" she asked as she put down her cup.

"Sorry kiddo not tomorrow. I have chores to do" he said and glared over at Kagome.

"Well if you did them when I asked you wouldn't have to do them tomorrow" she said glaring back at him.

Aiko sighed heavily and rested her head on her hand.

This is pretty normal in my house but I suppose my family isn't normal.

"Ok then I'm off to bed night" she said and went to her room.

"Night" they said in unison.

Aiko climbed into her bed and wrapped the big warm blanket over her. She closed her eyes but her ears twitched when she heard footsteps come into her room. She opened on eye and saw Inuyasha sitting in front of her.

"Dad what do you want?" she said sitting up.

"Sorry that I can't go training with you tomorrow" he smiled.

"Its fine" she sighed a lay back down.

"Your annoyed" he said simply.

"Am not"

"You so are. Anyway see you in the morning" he said and kissed her on the forehead.

"Night dad".

--

Aiko got up early and tip toed out of the house. She looked around the quiet village and stretched.

"Right if dad can't go ill just have to go on my own" she thought to herself and jumped of into the distance. She ran to a top of the hill near the edge of the forest and looked around. She flexed her claws and looked into the forest. Suddenly a shadow moved quickly in it and she jumped back in surprise. She took a step back but kept her violet eyes fixed on the forest.

"Who's there she?" she called but there was no answer.

Then a large ogre demon stepped out of the shadows in front of her. She gasped in shock and looked the demon up and down.

"Ah breakfast" it smiled.

"Not in this lifetime" Aiko grinned her fathers famous grin and flexed her claws.

Ok there is the first chapter. I have no idea when the next one will be up so please be patient . I wanted to the bit with her talking so you get a better idea of her life. Please review
