BROKEN VOW
chapter nineteen: A New Evil Arises
:
"Kagome! Where is she? Yuta was supposed to be here an hour ago." stated the frustrated hanyou as he watched from out side the house of his friends'. It was then that Kagome slid the door open and quirked an eyebrow at her husband.

"Calm down Inuyasha, she probably met up with Hiroaki and the rest of the kids you know?"

Inuyasha's hands gripped slightly at the thought of the young couple but then relented. He looked to his wife with dissatisfaction as he folded his arms into his sleeves. "Why all of the sudden do I feel better when I hadn't thought of that?"

Kagome giggled and pressed up against his back to hug him. Her chin rested on his shoulder and her small arms wrapped around his waist. "Ah come on, they're young and in love. That's nothing to be afraid of."

Inuyasha sighed and turned around in her arms. He stared down into her azure eyes and bright smile and his heart almost melted. She had indeed grown in beauty these past fifteen years but he will always remember her the way she was when they had first met. The way her angry face had always sat him; The way the hair swept around her face when the wind caught it; Her scent when it mixed with the summer rains, he would remember it everyday of his life until he would eventually perish from the earth with her by his side. Yes, Kagome too had become immortal, back when he had first marked her. She would never die of disease, or famine, but was given his life span which would mean that she would live long enough to live to see her family again. She would always be with him. Always. "I know it's not something to be afraid of, but that's not what I'm scared of. Did you happen to catch that mark our daughter had on her neck?"

Kagome grinned and nodded. "Yes I did, I thought it was cute."

Inuyasha's eyes bulged. "CUTE?! YOU THOUGHT A HICKEY WAS CUTE!"

Kagome laughed a laugh that calmed him instantly. "Awe come on, we've done worse."

'Yeah the worse we've done was sex, but I don't want Yuta doing that either.' he thought. Inuyasha was about to open his mouth to argue when the door slid open again. He turned, with an arm still about the woman and faced his two friends with their youngest daughter, Juri, wrapped in Sango's arms.

"Exactly, how worse have you done Inuyasha?" grinned Miroku with a mischievous glint in his eyes. Inuyasha growled and pulled Kagome tighter to him.

"I would think that obvious monk. How else would she have gotten pregnant?"

Miroku shook his head carelessly. "Just wanted to see if you would admit it. You never would give me any details about your sex life-OW!" Miroku clutched his head as Inuyasha punched him hard on the side of the head. "What Was that for?!"

"For being too nosy for your own good." he grumbled as baby Juri started to giggle. Inuyasha looked to the child as Sango shifted her in her arms, and his face lit up in a smile. Oh how he wished to see what Yuta had looked like back then. Though he had seen photo-ma-graphs that Kagome had, but it wasn't the same. At least he would get to see the next one...and the next, and maybe the next. 'Well we are going to be alive for a thousand years!' he thought with a large smile on his face.

Sango looked up into his face and smiled back. "Would you like to hold her?" she asked sweetly. Inuyasha had a tendency to stay as far as possible from her infant children, almost as if he was afraid he might drop them. Sango watched as the color instantly drain from the hanyou's face.

"M-me? You want me to hold her?" he asked nervously. Both women smiled at his anxiety. Sango nodded and stepped forward to Inuyasha and slowly placed Juri in his arms. She too was getting slightly nervous when he flinched and she refused to let go of her daughter just in case. Sango looked up into his eyes.

"Inuyasha, you slaughter demons, but you're afraid of a child?" she asked him.

Inuyasha scowled in return. "Well if I'm going to kill the demon I don't have to worry about hurting it, 'sides, human children are so fragile...."

"Ah they're not that fragile, I remember Eizan dropped Benjiro on his head when he was little" said Miroku leaning against the post. His hand came up to rub at his chin as if pondering something "Maybe that's why the boy isn't perverted..." The adults around him simultaneously sweat-dropped. Sango shook her head from the thought and then slowly her hands left Juri in Inuyasha's arms. "Mind her head, there that's it."

Inuyasha felt more nervous now then ever. The small child in his arms weighed little and her form was small and rounded. He looked into her deep blue eyes of her father's and small face and watched as the tot coo-ed and gave him a wide toothless smile. Inuyasha couldn't help but return it. He carefully steadied his left arm and slowly lifted his hand and touched the infant’s dark hair, careful of his claws. 'This isn't that hard....' he thought triumphantly and looked to his mate with a wide grin.

Kagome smiled back. She stepped closer to him and leaned up to peck his cheek. "You make a wonderful father" she whispered to him. Inuyasha beamed and both stared down at the infant contently.

Sango leaned back into her husband as he wrapped his arms around her form. They both watched as the couple showered each other and their child with affection. Miroku bent down and nuzzled his nose into his wife's hair. Yes it was true that men of their time never showed affection like he. Even after fifteen years of marriage. Most were what he once was, a complete pervert wanting nothing but women and a good lay. Not caring weather or not the woman wanted it or not. Miroku grew out of that. Maybe it was the fact that he loved the woman in his arms more than life itself, as did Inuyasha and Kagome. Miroku didn't know what he would do with himself with fifteen years without Sango, probably die. His grip tightened on his wife and Sango shifted to turn her head and look at him. Her gaze was worried as she looked up to him, but Miroku merely shook his head and cleared his throat. The other couple looked to him in questioning. Miroku just smiled and straightened himself a bit as he asked, "So Inuyasha? When are you and Kagome planning on having another child?"

Kagome blushed lightly as Inuyasha glanced at her briefly. He stepped forward and carefully handed Juri back to Sango, before he wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist. He looked back up to the monk with a smirk. "Why Monk? You afraid Kagome and I can beat your record?"

Miroku rolled his eyes and stated, "Oh I highly doubt that."

"Well why is that, Miroku? I mean we are going to be living for the next couple hundred years..."

"I just don't think you have the ability to produce twelve children in 15 years, it's hard work-"

"Ha! Hard work for me, maybe!" Inclined Sango. "You had the easy job!"

"Yes my sweet, I know that things were most difficult for you," Miroku nuzzled into her neck again. "That's why I love you." Sango raised an eyebrow at him, resisting the urge to hit him but just leaned back into the hold of her husband, not caring about the looks that their friends were giving them. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and Kagome giggled as they watched them, feeling completely sorry for the poor tot in Sango's arms. Inuyasha quickly cleared his throat to wake the couple from their embrace.

"Why do I have the feeling that in the next couple of months she's going to be pregnant again?" Kagome whispered to the hanyou. He smirked and then leaned down to her.

"You were gone for fifteen years, you didn't see them when they were getting started" Inuyasha gave an involuntary shudder.

Miroku grinned. "As I said, it is a difficult task to have as many children as we in such a short period of time."

"Oh I don't know Miroku," said Kagome as she wrapped an arm around her mate. "I remember reading somewhere in my time that the older the woman the more likely she is to have twins."

At this comment Miroku twisted around so fast that he might have gotten whiplash. He looked wide-eyed to his wife and took her hands in his. "Sango! You're a year older than Kagome! We can set a record! We-" Miroku was immediately cut off by Sango's glare.

"Miroku," she said in a low voice staring down at the infant. She looked back up to him with that same face she would have when he used to grope her. "Twelve, count them, TWELVE CHILDREN! Seven boys, five girls. Be happy with what you've got." Miroku gulped and nodded but when Sango turned away from him Kagome was sure she saw him grinning. Kagome shook her head slowly. Sango's chestnut warmth met Kagome's sky hue. When she spoke it was full of sincerity and love.

"But I do wish you good luck for your future children."

"Speaking of children," added Inuyasha. "Here they come now." the group of adults looked up the hill and watched as only three figures walked down, well one was sort of leaning on another, carrying what had to be heavy armor. Inuyasha watched the one that was leaning and within two great leaps was next to them. He stared down at the two boys worriedly. "What happened? Is he ok?" he asked as the rest of the adults hurried toward them.

The girl carrying the heavy armor huffed and dropped it at their feet to stare at her two brothers. Her hands flew to her hips in frustration. "Feh, he had the time of his life." Mocked Arisa staring at Eizan in disgust. Eizan had a dazed look upon his face with a lecherous grin spreading from ear to ear. When he spoke it was slow with elation.

"Oh and what a time it was..." he stated dreamily as he leaned heavily against Amane, who groaned and rolled his eyes. He looked up to the adults that were gathered around them and took a deep breath before saying one word, "Girls"

If possible Eizan grinned even wider, "Two girls....two beautiful girls..." he sighed and turned his head to see small multiple imprints of a rose colored lipstick. All of the adults besides Miroku, groaned and smacked their heads in unison. Miroku was beaming. He ruffled his son's hair in adoration. "That's my b-OW!"

Inuyasha turned away not wanting to watch Sango rough up her husband any longer. He turned his back to them, his eyes focusing on the swaying trees of his forest. The wind picked up and rattled the woodland, the soft creak of the wood, the rustle of the branches and leaves, the very sound calmed his soul. Oh how he missed that forest, that small wilderness that had been his home for so long. Yes living in a castle had its perks, but after living in the wilderness for almost two hundred years, one did tend to miss it. Inuyasha closed his eyes and breathed in the fresh pine scent. He let out a deep sigh of contentment and reopened his golden eyes. If only he could just be back there...with no responsibilities other than his family...

A small hand rested on his shoulder. The hanyou smiled and crooked his arm to cup over his wife's hand. Kagome stepped around him and then hugged his waist. "What are you thinking about?" she asked him softly.

Inuyasha sighed and looked down into azure eyes and wrapped his own arms around her waist. "Just of the past," he replied simply, leaning into her form. His hand trailed down the length of her back and then back. His neck craned down and he breathed in her sweet scent. Inuyasha closed his eyes breathing in the euphoria and nuzzled back into her neck. 'Heaven' He could stay in these arms forever...

BOOM

Inuyasha's eyes flicked open.

BOOM

All at once hundreds of birds cleared the forest and took off to the skies. "What the hell?" he breathed. Kagome let go of him and stared up at him. "Inuyasha? Honey are you ok?" Inuyasha didn't answer. He stared into the dark recesses of the forest. Something within it was causing trouble...or maybe worse. "Inuyasha! What is it?!" asked Kagome shakily. She did not like the way he stood still...something was wrong.

The wind picked up smacked at his face the scent of demon, blood, and..."No" he breathed letting go of his wife and took off running in full speed in the direction of the forest. Kagome didn't linger. She ran as fast as she could to keep up with her husband, worry clenching within her stomach.

"It can't be" muttered Inuyasha as he jumped from tree to tree heading deeper and deeper into the forest. The scents brought to him were...no...it couldn't happen, it just couldn't! His heart raced as his legs pumped harder and harder with each leap. He had to get there soon or...Inuyasha didn't want to think of what he would find. Finally he came to the spot where the scents were strongest. Inuyasha skidded to a halt and looked about the clearing. It was very dark, the tree tops were so close that no light shown through to the bottom level. It was only because of his demon vision that he could see through the darkness. "I don't understand." he said to himself. "This is where the scent is the strongest. But nothing's here! Where is Yuta?!"

"Hahahaha, do you really think so Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha unsheathed the tetsusaiga and swung it in the direction of the voice. Nothing but air. "Bastard! Show yourself!!"

Again the voice laughed, a deep sinister cackle. It was almost familiar. "I'd rather not Hanyou."

"What are you chicken?" Inuyasha asked angrily.

"No, just smart."

Inuyasha was growing frustrated. Here was this demon playing games with him when his daughter may be dieing somewhere. "Shuttup!" he spat enraged. "Where the hell is Yuta?! Tell me where my daughter is!!" Inuyasha's voice echoed through the grim wood. All went silent. The only sound Inuyasha could make out was his breathing and the rustling of the tress overhead. It was too quiet. The sound of footsteps slapped at the ground behind him. He turned and watched as Kagome entered the murky clearing. "Inuyasha-"

Inuyasha ran up to her, grabbed her by the waist and crushed her to his chest. She was breathing heavily from the run and her pulse was racing, but she was fine. "Inuyasha tell me what's going on! Why were you screaming about Yuta-?!"

"Ah the lovely couple has reunited. How quaint. And to think of all that trouble I put you through fifteen years ago. I guess love does conquer all. Isn't that right Kagome?"

Kagome stiffened against his hold as Inuyasha gripped her shoulder tightly. "YOU WERE THE ONE THAT SPLIT US APART?!" screamed Inuyasha. He let go of Kagome and stepped forward staring up into the branches of the nearest trees. "COME OUT NOW AND LET ME KILL YOU!!"

More chuckling met their ears. "Why should I do that? If I did you would never find your daughter."

A low growl ascended from his throat. His hand clenched tightly around the grip of the sword. "TELL ME WHERE SHE IS!!" He screamed out into the sinister gloom. His only answer was the sinister laughing that echoed around them. The very sound was haunting a melody, mocking him, firing the hanyou's anger. Inuyasha let out an animalistic cry and swung full force at the nearest trees. A deafening crack split through the air before three of the nearby trees fell to the ground. -THUMP- Two large spots of sunlight flooded the barren ground and Inuyasha squinted his eyes at the sudden invasion of light. Something...beyond the fresh stumps shifted. The figure stayed into the dark recesses of the wood. Inuyasha could feel the eyes on him, haunting him, and he glared at its direction and-'That scent! 'There was a loud crackling and once again they were consumed by the darkness. "Inuyasha!" Kagome called out to him in a panic stricken voice. Inuyasha took a step back toward her as a peculiar scent reached his nose. Suddenly he felt dizzy, tired even. His mind was clouding and fuzzy. He couldn't concentrate. He heard the sound of Kagome crumpling toward the forest floor but his mind didn't seem to process it. All he could focus on was the figure, as his legs gave out underneath him. He heavily hit the ground in a crumpled heap still staring into the gloom. The figure took one slow step toward him, then another and another till all that the insensible Inuyasha could see before he finally gave into the fumes, was the harsh gleaming of blood red eyes...
