Stories Should Be Past Down

 

 

 

Delicate feminine fingers began to write. The fingers belonged to teenage girl with long black sitting on the floor beside her two younger brothers. The girl reached down and softly ran her finger through the youngest boy's hair. She had so much to tell him but there was jut no time. A book of long forgotten stories was the only thing she could hope to leave him. She slowly began to write again.

 

The Hanyou & The Spirit

 

 

Many years ago a boy was born to a family that descended from a might dog yokai. The boy's family had never had the chance to fall in love. A pair of spirits had always chosen the match within the year of the new child's birth. A young girl that was pure of heart was chosen as the boy's future bride. The two became friends not knowing that they what destiny had in store for the pair.

 

The boy grew strong protecting his village from the evil yokai, while the girl grew beautiful. The day the spirits visited the boy's home a young spirit followed. The spirit had long blue hair and bright pink eyes. The spirit and the boy fell in love much to the displeasure of the older spirits and the boy's family. It seemed that the only one happy for the pair was the girl.

 

The spirits angered by the pair became even more angered when the blue haired spirit was found to be carrying the child of the boy. They hid the blue haired sprit and had the family chain the boy up. The forgotten bride watched her best friend mourn. Then one night a spirit came and asked her help. The blue spirit and her child were to be killed. That night the forgotten bride unchained the boy watching as the long suppressed blood took over changing him. Long black hair fell along the boy's back as claws grew as well as fangs his heritage had finally been passed down, he had become a hanyou.

 

The hanyou left to retrieve his love leaving his mount and his forgotten bride behind. The forgotten bride quickly prepared to help the hanyou and the blue haired spirit escape.

 

When the hanyou found the palace that the spirits lived with in he fought his way to the room they held the blue haired spirit. He was too late, they told him but one spirit held a small child out to him. A small blue eyed girl smiled up at the hanyou. They told him to run and hide the child or the angry spirits would kill the child two.

 

Returning to the land of his father the hanyou found his forgotten bride on his mount smiling. At that moment the pair knew no matter how much the hanyou had loved the spirit that he would have to marry his bride to appease the angry spirits. Years later the hanyou died and as his spirit left his body the bride watched as the blue spirit believed to be long dead appeared. The bride smiled at her friends she only said a few words to the two spirits, till death do us part you are free. The two spirits smiled at the forgotten bride. The blue haired spirit asked the bride to take care of the blue eyed child.

 

The Kitsune Bride

 

 

Once upon a time long, long ago a beautiful woman came to a poor village. The villagers feared her at first but her kind soul drew them to her. When she had become settled among the villagers an evil yokai came and killed many villagers and stole the Shikon jewel. The woman became angry following the yokai determined to avenge the people it had murdered.

 

When the woman found the yokai it growled at her telling the woman that it would eat her. The woman smiled at the demon telling him that she did not fear him that she knew yokai larger and stronger. The demon laughed before an inu hanyou charged forward to kill the yokai. As the yokai died it told the pair that he was told to kill the girl by his master a spider monkey yokai. The inu turned towards the woman growling. The woman rolled her eyes and began to walk away. “Where are you going?” The Inu followed watching as se picked her way through the forest as if it was her home. “I live here just not now. I came to retrieve my child.” The pair journeyed through the forest soon finding a human couple. The pair seemed to hunting the evil yokai that had the Shikon for killing their village. The four agreed to hunt the evil yokai together.

 

Months past trying to find the evil yokai, one night while the woman and her companions sleep a miko entered the camp. The miko had been searching for her betrothed. When the inu saw the miko he remembered her and told the group that the evil yokai had placed a spell on him to not remember his beloved. The group of travelers increased to five.

 

More time past and the group began to wonder about the woman. That night the group lay down and pretended to sleep, when the moon was high in the sky the woman stood up and left the camp. She traveled for nearly an hour till the trees parted revealing a kitsune in human form, his tail beat back and forth watching the woman enter the clearing. The group hid watching the woman embrace the kitsune. “Have you found our kit?” The kitsune asked his white ears twitching as he held the woman close to him. “No we are still close I will destroy the evil yokai and we will return to you.” The group watched the kitsune kiss the woman before running away. The group decided not to say anything afraid that the kitsune bride would run away and never come back.

 

Every week the woman left the group late at night to again promise her return to the kitsune. A year past before they found the evil yokai. The yokai stood in front of a palace the Shikon in one hand and a small kitsune kit in the other. “I see you have found out that you are no match so what do you bring, a group of worthless misfits and a hanyou. No matter you will not survive this battle so you might as well fall on your sword.”

 

The battle lasted long into the night till only the kitsune bride and the evil yokai. The evil demon swallowed the Shikon jewel thinking his powers would be increased only to have the kitsune bride rush forward. A hand shot forward and ripped the jewel from the yokai's throat. The kitsune bride watched as the evil yokai turned to dust never to return.

 

All of the group watched as the woman that had lead them walked up the steps to where the kit lay. The woman gathered the kitsune into her arms. Smiling she walked back down the steps towards her companions. “Thank you for helping restore balance. I must leave now.” The companions never saw her again but they knew she had returned to her kitsune husband.

 

Kagome smiled as she shut the book her father had given her as a child. Her grandfather had told her on returning from winning the final battle that his sister had written it days before she died accidentally. Kagome's smile slid into a frown as she looked at the end of her bed a red uniform for Meio Private Academy. Her mother had told her just hours ago that she was going to be moving in with her Aunt and Uncle. Sliding out of the bed she walked across the room to look into a crib.

 

Naraku had kidnapped Shippo thinking through the kit he could control Kagome. He had been wrong; Kagome had become a harder slave driver than Inuyasha. Just a month ago Kagome had lead her friends to were Naraku hid. Naraku had been surprised when he saw Kagome leading the group right through his barrier like it had not even been there.

 

The look in her eyes had promised death to the one who stole her child. Shippo was scratching and biting trying to get away from Naraku. “You can not defeat me, you are no match.” Kagome grimaced remembering the way Naraku had stabbed Shippo before throwing him into a palace wall. At that moment it became a blur till the moment she had torn Naraku's throat out with her bare hands purifying him into nothing.

 

Kagome smiled into the crib the Shikon had saved Shippo's life. When Naraku had stabbed Shippo organs had been damaged beyond repair. Kagome remembered wishing for her son to be ok. That had been the moment she meet Midoriko. The long dead Miko had told her that Shippo was not her child and there for could not be saved but if she wished that Shippo. Tears gathered in Kagome's eyes as she looked into the crib. Kagome had begged Midoriko to not let Shippo die he was her son, Midoriko had smiled and asked if she would be willing to never have a child of her own for Shippo's life. It had not taken Kagome a heart beat to agree. Midoriko had smiled before disappearing. Kagome had wept as Shippo began to convulse, then to her amazement his wounds healed. But then Shippo had began to shrink, he was growing younger till he was but a new born.

 

Kagome reached into the crib lifting an enfant with red hair. It seemed she was going to be granted the ability to raise Shippo from the start. Now how was she going to explain Shippo to her Aunt?

 

Shippo began to wiggle and whimper, Kagome smiled walking out of the room to head down stairs. As soon as the two were out of sight the fat form of Buyo crawled out from under the bed almost getting stuck. The cat walked to the window struggling to lift her self onto the window seal. Grandpa set within a storage building reading. “MEOW!” Buyo sat next to the old man looking at the scroll. “Buyo. Have there been any more demons?” The elderly Higurashi asked rolling the scroll up and slowly standing. Buyo nodded her head thrashing her tail back and forth.

 

Mr. Higurashi sighed as he slid the scroll back into place. “It is bad enough that Kagome has the strongest priests and priestesses but to have a ferry girl as a mother.” Again the man sighed as he looked down to his companion. “I just hope you can keep her safe. I never did trust that boy Ankeo married. Well I have a great-grandson to teach about our history, will you join?” Buyo laughed the evil cat laugh (It is real my cats do it when I fall down, get hit on the head, or my horse/cow kick me) at the old man before walking away.

 

The old man hurried into the house finding Kagome feeding Shippo. “Give me. Give me. Give me.” Mrs. Higurashi laughed at her father in law as he tried to take the small kit from Kagome. It was hard to believe that when Kagome had first come home that the elderly man wanted to throw the kit back into the well. Now he just wanted to spoil the baby, and spoil he did. There were the three large stuffed animals and the antique crib that had been completely restored just for Shippo. Mrs. Higurashi laughed as Mr. Higurashi finally got the kit away from Kagome to rush, as fast as an old man can, to his chair whispering the whole time.

 

“Do you think Grandpa will be mad when he finds out that Shippo is the only child I will ever have?” Kagome asked looking to her mother. The older woman set next to her daughter grabbing her hands and putting them on the table. “Kagome, I have needed to tell you for a long time but I have been afraid. Your father was never in love with me, I was an arranged marriage. I didn't care I only thought of your father as a friend. About a year before we married your father's true love became pregnant. Her family wanted her to abort, but she refused and ran. Your father hid her and to tell the truth I helped them. Unfortunately, they found her. Your father's family was not happy since it would interfere with him marrying and hers because she had disobeyed them.”

 

“So what happened?” Kagome asked wondering what had become of the child and its mother. Mrs. Higurashi smiled sadly. “It is amazing that even when a child is not of our womb that we would still do anything to protect them. You were willing to give up everything for his life. We are mothers of the heart if not of the body.” Kagome looked at her mother confused. “I am not your birth mother I accepted the role with in minutes of your birth to save you.” Kagome gasped as looking at the now crying woman, she pulled her hand out of the other woman's hand. Kagome's whole body shook but when she turned her head and saw Shippo babbling her heart cried out. “Oh, Momma!” Kagome leapt from her chair rushing to her adopted mother and hugged her with all her might. “I love you, it doesn't matter if you gave birth to me or not you were the one that was there for me through everything. You are my Momma.”

 

In the living room Mr. Higurashi looked at his great-grandson. “My boy may you have a better understanding of women.”

 

 

End Chapter

 

Ok, after a few floppy disks to my cousin's head (not on purpose) I found the story I was looking for. This story was called A Knight In Shining Armor Yeah Right. Unfortunately it got away from me and became A Little Known Secret. After rereading it I found a lot of problems and decided to start over since I now have the original story.

 

Now before I get any flames about the two fairy tales remember hundreds of years have past and parts of the story get changed as well as the girl wants to leave hints for her brother.

 

Also I do not know how my writing ill go for a while since we have an emergency in the family.
