InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Inuyasha's unknown heritage (Yes boring title I know!) ❯ The meeting of Corba ( Chapter 26 )

Disclaimer: Nope, don't own Inuyasha. Also, some of the Windworker Ideas in the last chapter, I got from the story "The well". I think that is its name anyway. Good story, it is on FF.net if anyone wants to check it out. Highly recommend it. Good additions to it on mediaminer too.

Chapter 26) The meeting of Corba

Dusk had fallen for almost an hour, when Joseph and Lina rounded everyone up at the north side of the barrier.

Looking out upon the assembled group from where she and Joseph stood with their backs against the barrier, Lina held up her hand announcer like, and spoke in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Ok everyone, just so you know what is going on here, I am in need of some help with training all of you. So I am enlisting one of my other grandchildren to come and help. You will be meeting her shortly." Lina noted the shared look between the brothers and the waiting air about the group. Smiling, Lina noted that everyone was getting used to all the new changes now, they didn't even react much anymore to a sudden change.

"Also, since we are training so many more of you, upping the power level in the area as well as a resulting you are getting more powerful. We are going to be putting up another barrier around the two existing ones we already have up around this village and around the training ground. This barrier will alert Naraku even worse about my and my mate's presence, but will make sure he has no idea about your heightened abilities until it is too late." Lina stopped and was aware of the evil grins some of the group sported now. She smiled inwardly at this; she was also looking forward to surprising Naraku when the time came.

Spinning around, Lina held her mate's hand as a hole appeared in the barrier as they walked out into the field that lay past. The hole closed and Lina and Joseph turned around towards the group again after they got a good distance from the barrier.

Everyone but Kouga's pack watched with anything but just in interest as Lina and Joseph started glowing a faint white. With hands still clasped, Lina and Joseph slowly stepped away from each other until their arms were outstretched. With a feeling of building energy, the white glow began to become a white spiral of power that curled around each figure. As the power rose, it was then joined with a green magic that seeped from the ground and the air began to sparkle around the pair as their spectators watched.

With a shared smile from the pair they slowly let go of each other's hands. As they did this, the powers arched across the distance like electricity. When the pair fairly hummed with the power they were exerting, they made a distance of about five feet between them before the power began to arch all across their bodies, creating an electric doorway affect. From this doorway and the smiling pair, a figure appeared before the group.

The apparently wolf like demon that emerged, smiled softly before turning towards the pair as they slowly walked back beside each other.

"Hello grandmother, grandfather." The strange youkai said with a smokey voice.

The female was pure white. Her calf length hair shown snow white in the moonlight. Her ears were between youkai and the ears of her grandparents. They tipped up and back but did not crest her head. Her eyes were chocolate brown with a green outer rim and her cheeks had a singular silver stripe cresting each. Her tail of also of snow-white fur, came out three feet behind her and was as puffy as Sesshomaru's own tail. Her outfit of pure black leggings, fringed shirt and black moccasins had no adornment and her bone-beaded chocker was only adorned with a wolf's claw and small downy eagle feather.

Lina and Joseph nodded to their granddaughter in acknowledgement as they reached a distance to clasp hands once again.

Slowly, Lina and Joseph looked on the group with now wicked grins as they suddenly darted off.

Kouga blinked as the two disappeared and sighed heavily as he watched the luminescent barrier start up almost instantly later, to circle the area a good two miles away.

The group waited a short while as they watched the two sides of the huge barrier go up in opposite directions. It was amazing really that the two could construct such a large barrier. It starting about two miles out from the barrier that circled the town, circled out from it and around the training area and back again.

Studying it for a short while, the group actually came to the consensuses that it was more like a wall than a barrier. It was like a pale glowing white that reached for the sky and you couldn't see the top. It just glowed on the horizon, no matter where you looked.

As the wall was about to be completed, the youkai slowly walked towards the group behind the barrier and smiled warmly at them. She didn't even seemed fazed as her grandparents materialized out of nowhere to flank her as she got within two feet of the barrier wall.

Lina, always the spokeswoman, bowed briefly to the group and introduced her granddaughter. "Everyone, this is Corba. She is one of our first generation grandchildren. She is the daughter of our last son. "

Turning towards her grandmother, Corba hugged her tightly and then turned to her grandfather to do the same.

The group watched this as Kagome smiled at the three with warmth in her eyes.

"It's been awhile you two." Said Corba as she shared a smile with her grandparents.

"Yeah, three weeks." Lina smiled back with a twinkle of mischief in her eyes.

Turning and trying to serious things up a bit, Lina clasped Corba's hand as her mate followed her. She opened up the barrier wall and let it closed as they passed. Coming up to the group, Lina let Corba get to know everyone in her own way.

"Hello everyone." The enthusiastic Corba said to the group.

"Hello to you too." Kagome cheerily replied as the others had mixed reactions.

Sesshomaru nodded his head in acknowledgement and noted to himself to talk to her later. Inuyasha, not knowing what to do with the enthusiastic youkai, tried to fend her off to no avail, since Kagome was trying to get him to converse with his cousin. Sango was smiling at the two, as she watched Kagome and Corba get acquainted. Shippo was dancing up and down to get their attention, since Kagome was in her own little world of girlish conversation. And poor Kouga, a pretty girl, at least half wolf demon, with a charming smile and a Kagome like attitude. He didn't know what do do with himself.

Kateru and Zera just hung back watching the festivities and smiling wickedly at Lina and Joseph as they returned the look right back.

Leave it up to Corba to find the most talkative and sociable of the bunch and bond like cement.

Shaking their heads at the positively varying group, the older four left the others to deal with their genius I.Q, lonely, talkative, granddaughter.
