Chapter One: The Twins

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

It was beginning to get dark as Kagome was walking through a path in the forest talking to Sango about Miroku’s most recent perverse moment. They were trailing slightly behind Inuyasha and the houshi himself. Kilala and Shippou were running out in front of the two men and playing. As the group of six walked through the woods, they were waiting for any sign from Kagome that a jewel shard was approaching. Up ahead of the women, Inuyasha stopped suddenly.

“What is it Inuyasha?” Kagome questioned walking up behind the two men with Sango following closely behind her.

“I smell youkai.” Inuyasha stated as the wind blew from the north. “They’re coming from that way.” He said pointing to his left.

“Now that you mention it. I am getting a small feeling of a sacred jewel shard.” Kagome replied nodding her head towards the hanyou.

“So are we going to wait here for them, or go after them?” Miroku questioned as the kitsune and neko walked back towards the group.

“They are not very far away. We might as well wait here.” Inuyasha stated simply. “No sense in wearing ourselves out before the battle.”

“Six sacred jewel shards.” Kagome said correcting her earlier number of one. Her friends looked at her, all of them wondering how many youkai were headed their way.

“I’ve only got two youkai. It might even only be one. They smell a lot alike if there are two of them.” Inuyasha said looking at Kagome as a new number came to her mind.

“At least fifteen.” She said nodding her head.

“Are you sure?” Sango asked.

“Hai, very sure.” Kagome answered.

“They’re coming very quickly. I can hear them talking.” Inuyasha said turning his fuzzy little ear toward the north. His friends all strained for a sight or sound of anything coming from that direction. Out of no where the small kitsune began to laugh lightly.

“What is it Shippou?” Miroku questioned the small child.

“They are very funny youkai.” Shippou smiled as he laughed still at the oncoming youkai. “It sounds like they are fighting. Kinda like Kagome and Inuyasha do.”

“He’s right. But why would youkais be fighting with each other?” Inuyasha asked, more of a question to himself than the others. Then finally the non-youkai of the group could hear the conversation between the youkais.

“I told you that she wasn’t interested in you Tama.” A soft feminine voice said with a slight laugh.

“You always tell me that. How am I supposed to know when you’re serious Amé?” A male voice questioned the first one.

“I’m always serious about that Tama, no woman wants you.” The voice now known as belonging to Amé laughed.

“That’s not very nice you know! It’s not like you’ve got packs of men following you around.” Tama argued.

“I do at home.” Amé laughed then noticed that she and Tama had an audience. She looked a little scared by looking up and finding a very large sword pointed at her face. ‘He smells like a hanyou. The other three are human.’

“Are you prepared to die?” Inuyasha questioned the two Youkai.

“Ano, well, I suppose if you must kill us... kill her first!” Tama yelled jumping behind Amé hiding his face behind her dark blue hair.

“You big chicken.” Amé smirked while lifting her leg and kicking Tama in the leg making him fall over. “Sorry about him. He’s rather strange.”

“Inuyasha, lower your weapon. I don’t think they’re evil.” Kagome said looking toward Inuyasha.

“Kagome, they have pieces of the sacred jewel shard. They must be evil.” Inuyasha stated trying to reason with his human companion.

“Their shards are clean, they glow pink not black.” Kagome answered knowingly.

“I assure you all. My brother and I are no where near evil. We only possess pieces of the jewel shards to keep them from Naraku. Oh how rude of me. My name is Amarante Iwahoshi, but please just call me Amé and this wimp here behind me is my onii Tamasine, whom we call Tama.” Amé smiled while looking sadly down at her pathetic brother and sticking out her hand for Inuyasha to shake. Inuyasha refused while thinking ‘I feel almost like I should believe her. She’s so beautiful... wait, beautiful... Inuyasha snap out of it!’ Miroku on the other hand... he took the opportunity.

“Hello my fair maiden, I am Miroku. You are quite a stunning youkai.” The houshi smiled while receiving a smack in the back of the head from Sango making him drop her hand.

“Ignore him, I’m Sango. It’s nice to meet you both.” Sango replied while still eyeing the youkai’s skeptically.

“And I’m Kagome, this is Inuyasha, he’s not very fond of youkai, sadly.” Kagome replied honestly.

“How do we know she’s not lying?” Inuyasha questioned. He still had Tetsusaiga aimed to kill.

“I assure you that we mean you no harm. We are only here to try to kill Naraku. That’s all.” Tama said as he finally pulled himself up off of the ground.

“Okay, but one bad move and I’ll kill you both, no questions asked.” Inuyasha warned, then he sheathed Tetsusaiga.

“We should probably rest here for the night.” Sango stated as she looked and saw the last bit of the sun leaving their part of the earth. “There’s a clearing up ahead.” She nodded down the path where about twenty feet ahead there was, as she had said, a small clearing.

“Amé, Tama, would the two of you like to join us? We too are looking for sacred jewel shards to stop Naraku.” Kagome smiled sweetly at the two.

“I don’t know onii, what do you think?” Amé asked while looking towards Tama.

“Ano, I suppose we could. They do look like they could help us. You know we can use all the help we can get with you on our side.” Tama joked receiving a blast of green energy from his sisters raised hand as he flew back a few feet and landed on his butt.

“Baka. If you all don’t mind that is.” Amé replied looking towards the others.

“I think we could use your help just about as much as you could use ours.” Kagome smiled.

“Okay. How about Inuyasha, Tama and I go collect some firewood.” Miroku suggested.

“And leave the girls and the brats unprotected. I don’t think so.” Inuyasha fought with his friend.

“Baka, did you see what she just did with a little flick of her wrist. Plus are you forgetting that Sango is a Taijiya. I think they are well protected.” Miroku smirked at Amé.

“Fine. Let’s go, we don’t need to be gone for a long time.” Inuyasha answered. After about twenty minutes the boys had came back and started the fire. They had all gathered around the fire. Each having small conversations with others. Inuyasha was talking to Miroku, although he really wasn’t paying attention. ‘And I thought she was beautiful before. She’s even more beautiful with the soft glow of a fire illuminating her face. Kami, Inuyasha, where has your mind gone. You are starting to sound like a poet.’ It wasn’t too long before he got caught however.

“Is there something on my face Inuyasha?” Amé questioned noticing his gaze. She was hoping to catch him off guard. Inuyasha however, was apparently quick on his feet.

“No I was just wondering why it is that you and your brother were wanting to defeat Naraku.” Inuyasha replied. ‘Damn he’s quick.’ Amé thought.

“I guess we have a while. Is it my turn onii?” Amé turned to her brother.

“Hai.” He replied with a nod.

“I suppose I should first tell you that Tama and I are twins, the second and third children out of twelve and a prince and princess to the throne of the Northern lands. Our father was the Lord of the Northern lands up until thirty years ago. Tama, myself and our oldest sister, Aneko, had been out on diplomacy to the Lord of the Eastern lands. While we were gone Naraku attacked our castle. Everyone died except for the youngest child, our sister Oki. He destroyed our entire family, and the four of us have sworn to return the gesture. We’ve taken to collecting jewel shards and having Oki purify them. She’s a hanyou miko.” Amé finished her story.

“Same thing happened to me but it was my entire taijiya village including my family.” Sango said sadly.

“He’s cursed my family and if I don’t kill him, the curse will kill me.” Miroku answered.

“He killed my parents too.” The small kitsune added.

‘He made the love of my life think I murdered her.’ Inuyasha added in his mind. It was odd for at that moment Amé looked at him with a look of sympathy. As if she could read his mind.

“How do you collect the jewel shards and do you use them?” Kagome questioned. This time Tama answered the question.

“Amarante has a thing for the shards, she can detect them, sense that they are near. That is how we found you. Kagome has pieces of the jewel shard. And no we do not use them. Amarante keeps them.” Tama answered while glancing around at the members of the group.

“Actually, Kagome, for some reason I feel that you should have these.” Amé said while pulling on the string that was around her neck. A small pouch came out of the top of her shirt and she slipped the fashioned necklace over her head and handed them to Kagome. “We have seventeen pieces here so far. There are four more in the Northern lands, where we just came from, Oki had not yet had time to purify them.”

“Arigato Amé.” Kagome replied taking the small pouch that was handed to her from the friendly youkai.

“I think it’s about time we all get some rest.” Sango answered while looking around at the group. At her words Inuyasha took a large leap into a tree above their heads and settled in. Sango, Kagome and the kitsune and neko moved into a small huddled group, Sango trying to stay as far away as possible from Miroku. The twins both took after Inuyasha, taking to the trees. Some strange thoughts ensued as the group began to go to sleep. Inuyasha was wondering if he could trust these two new people while also eyeing the female youkai in the tree near him.

Said female youkai was thinking of a certain handsome hanyou and how much he looked like someone she used to know. Suddenly a loud ‘smack’ was heard from below along with “Watch it hentai!” coming from Sango. Inuyasha could hear a small laugh escape from the lips of Amarante. ‘I guess she can’t be too bad.’

The Next Morning

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

The next morning after everyone had woken up completely and Kagome made everyone breakfast, the group, with a new number of eight, continued their journey to the west. After a while of idle chat and waiting for a shard to be detected a question popped into Sango’s mind.

“Tama, Amé, I have a question. If you don’t mind me asking.” Sango said from her place in the path between Kagome and Amé.

“Not at all.” Tama replied from in front of the group of women.

“I was wondering what type of youkai the two of you were. You don’t really have any animal youkai characteristics.” Sango questioned them and Tama signaled for his sister ta take care of that question.

“Actually we are part animal youkai. Our father was a neko youkai. The other half we’re not so sure about. We were never told about our mother. Since our father died we have not been able to figure out a way to learn our mother’s youkai state. Aneko wasn’t old enough to remember so we really just don’t know.” Amé answered the question.

“You see out of us twelve children, there are eleven different mothers, and that due to Amarante and I being twins. Our father only used women for mating and then would dispose of them after the child was born. That is until he mated with a human, Oki’s mother was the mother that all of us grew up with, she was the only one he kept around.” Tama added to help clarify the situation. Inuyasha huffed and ran out in front of everyone else. Amé stared at his retreating back wondering what had happened.

“You’ll have to excuse him. Inuyasha lost both of his parents at a very young age and he’s pretty touchy about it.” Kagome explained. “I’ll go catch up to him. He’ll be fine.” She added noticing the worry that had became present in Amé’s eyes.

“I’ll go with you.” Sango smiled and the two ran ahead to catch up with the inu hanyou.

“Diajbou?” Tama questioned while turning to his twin.

“Hai.”

“Are you sure?” He asked again

“Hai, I’m fine.” Amarante smiled at her brother. ‘I just wish I hadn’t made Inuyasha run off like that.’

With Kagome and Sango

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Kagome and Sango ran behind Inuyasha trying to catch up with him. Instead they ran into, none other than, Sesshoumaru. And by ran into I mean literally. Kagome and been running around a corner and had turned behind her to see if Sango was keeping up and she found herself running dead into a solid object. As she began to feel as though she was going to fall, an arm slipped around her waist and steadied her.

“Careful Kagome-chan, you wouldn’t want to hurt yourself.” He said in a slight drawl, his voice as unemotional as ever.

“What are you doing here.” Kagome questioned as she pushed her way out of the arm of Inuyasha’s brother, reluctantly I might add. ‘His body is very warm and inviting.’ She thought to herself as his arm left her waist to rest at his side.

“Now is that anyway to speak to the taiyoukai who just saved you from a terrible bump un your ano, behind.” Sesshoumaru smirked with a little bit of playfulness coming into his voice.

“What is it that you want Sesshoumaru-Sama?” Kagome asked him as she turned to see what had been keeping Sango. Sango had been paused in time. Sesshoumaru’s doings, Kagome was sure of it.

“I wish to ask you a favor. You know of my young ward Rin, am I correct?” Sesshoumaru questioned her and she nodded so he continued. “Well I am afraid that she has become quite ill. I do not possess the knowledge to heal a ningen sickness. And seeing as how you are a miko, I was wondering if you would come to my castle and take a look, see if there is anything that you can do for her.”

“How long do you wish for me to stay?” Kagome questioned the Lord while looking up into his amber colored eyes.

“Until either she is cured or she dies.” Sesshoumaru answered honestly.

“Okay, I will go with you. But you must give me a moment to tell Inuyasha where I am going. Oh, and unfreeze Sango while you are at it.” Kagome smiled at the taiyoukai. At that moment Inuyasha appeared behind his brother.

“What are you doing here Sesshoumaru?” Inuyasha asked, hate dripping from his voice.

“Nothing. I’ll go tend to Sango now.” The taiyoukai smiled as his brother as the hanyou made a move toward the taiyoukai but Kagome stepped in his way.

“Let him go. I need to talk to you for a moment.” Kagome smiled at him.

“What is it now Kagome?” Inuyasha asked while watching his brother skeptically from over Kagome’s shoulder.

“His ward Rin is very ill. I am going to go with him and see if there is anything that I can do to help her heal.” Kagome said while looking at the sudden darkness that came to his eyes.

“Are you sure?” Inuyasha said in an almost growl.

“Yes, I will be fine. Don’t worry about me. Besides if he tries anything Amarante will feel it. She can feel the shards.” Kagome explained trying to make things easier for Inuyasha to handle.

“Okay but, if you’re not back in a week I’m coming to get you myself.” Inuyasha answered her.

“That’s alright with me.” Kagome smiled as Inuyasha took his friend into a hug just as Sesshoumaru and Sango came up behind them. Sesshoumaru waited until the two friends separated before he spoke.

“Are you ready Kagome-chan?” He questioned her.

“Yes Sesshoumaru-Sama.” Kagome answered. With that Sesshoumaru made a weird noise with his mouth and ah-un showed up. He helped Kagome onto the back of the great beast and then hopped on behind her. She waved to her two friends as she and Sesshoumaru headed off to the castle of the Western lands.

Chapter Quotes:

“Ano, well, I suppose if you must kill us... kill her first!” Tama yelled jumping behind Amé hiding his face behind her dark blue hair. -- This gives a great sense of Tamasine’s character. It’s obvious that Amarante is the stronger twin... or at least more daring.

Suddenly a loud ‘smack’ was heard from below along with “Watch it hentai!” coming from Sango. Inuyasha could hear a small laugh escape from the lips of Amarante. ‘I guess she can’t be too bad.’ -- This is the part where Inuyasha begins to warm up completely to Amarante’s character... and it’s cool because Miroku is a pervert... :D
