InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Vengeance ❯ Fallen foe returns ( Chapter 28 )

Mika awoke wrapped in Inuyasha's strong arms. She smiled, staring at her hanyou lover. “He's so strong and handsome. It's times like these I'm almost glad Kagome left.” Suddenly, she heard a knocking at the door of the hut. “Who's there?” “What kind of question is that really? Do you think an attacking youkai would actually give out his name to you?” she heard her younger brother say. “Do you think an attacking youkai would knock?” She heard Sesshomaru sigh as he walked inside. “Well, it appears you and Inuyasha had, ahem, fun last night. Too busy to put your clothes back on I see.” Mika looked down and blushed. Quickly, she pulled a blanket over her chest, making sure the rest of her stayed covered as well. “Uh, heh-heh, I guess you're right.” It was then Inuyasha began to stir. “Some night last night, huh, Mika?” he said sleepily. “You were moaning, screaming my name. I thought you would lose your voice or somethin'.” Sesshomaru glanced at Mika, blushing more now, and smirked. “Do tell, little brother.” Inuyasha looked across the room and his jaw dropped. “Why didn't you tell me the drag queen was here?” he hissed at Mika. “I didn't get the opportunity,” she replied. Inuyasha groaned and looked to Sesshomaru. “Why are you in here anyway?” “Oh, I nearly forgot. I have found out some interesting news regarding Naraku.”

 

The two hanyou were extremely puzzled. “But,” Mika began, “we killed Naraku. He's gone.” “Or so we thought,” Inuyasha said. “What?” Mika was thoroughly confused. “We thought Naraku was dead once before, but he faked his death and lived on inside one of his minions. Sesshomaru, did that sneaky bastard trick us again?” Sesshomaru nodded. “I believe that is the case. You see, I have heard tell that Kanna, Naraku's reincarnation that holds the mirror, has been wreaking havoc in nearby villages. People tell of tentacles shooting out of her mirror and attacking. Others have heard a manly, yet demonic voice giving her instructions.” Mika suddenly got an idea. “Does that mean Miroku and Sango are still alive? Perhaps they are trapped in the mirror along with Naraku.” Inuyasha looked to his older sibling for a response. “That may be possible. I suppose we will just have to wait and see.” Inuyasha stood sharply, pulling his pants on as he did so. “Wait nothin'. We're gonna find that bastard and kill him. And this time, I'm gonna make damn sure he's dead!”

 

Leaving Jaken, Ah-Un, and the young ones with Kaede, the inu-siblings set out in search for Kanna. “Naraku,” Inuyasha hissed under his breath. Mika sensed his anger and knew why he was so deeply scarred. If he were to discover that he had lost two of his closest friends, that Miroku and Sango sacrificed themselves for nothing, it would be devastating. Sesshomaru and Mika sat close to Kirara's head, helping to keep watch and also, allow Inuyasha breathing room. “I know my little brother's temper. Should he lash out, I do want neither myself, nor Mika, to be in his path.” “I agree, Sesshy. Inuyasha needs some alone time right now.” Sesshomaru was taken aback. Had Mika's thoughts just materialized in his head? And if so, how? He decided to see if this newfound power worked both ways. “Mika, did you just contact me telepathically, or was I simply imaging things?” “Strangely enough, I did, and so did you just now. How the hell does this work? And, I wonder, can we communicate with Inuyasha, too?” “Why don't you simply try it out? No harm in trying, correct?” “Okay. Here goes nothing.” Mika turned towards Inuyasha and focused her thoughts on him. “Inuyasha? Hey, Inuyasha?” “What the hell do you want, Mika? Quit bugging me! And- Hey, how the hell are you talking to me in my head?” Inuyasha's eyes were wide and filled with confusion. “I have no idea, but Sesshomaru can do it also.” “Hope I am not interrupting, but I have a theory. Perhaps it has something to do with Rika, our mother. I believe that she was more than just a simple inu-youkai. I believe she may have had some sort of spiritual power as well.” “Like a nisou, you mean?” “In a sense. I think it is through abilities she has passed own that we are able to communicate in such a matter.” “Wait a sec, what about me? I don't have the same mother as you two, and if I did, then Mika and I committed incest.” Inuyasha wasn't sure, but he thought he could almost feel Mika blushing. “I thought of that, also, Inuyasha. Do you see the mating mark on your neck? It is my opinion that the crescent moon, both in your mark and on the foreheads of my sister and I, are the link. This would explain why Mika couldn't speak with me before, the udewa sealed her power along with the moon, until now.” The three looked at one another and saw each crescent moon glowing brightly. “This is the greatest! Now we can plan our attacks without our enemies knowing it!” Mika thought to the others. “Yeah, I agree. What about you, Sessh?” “I think, that for once, I actually agree with you, little brother.”

 

(A/N: I never mentioned the color of the moon on Inuyasha's mark, so I'm just gonna do a quick chart. Sesshy-purple/lavender; Mika-pink; Inuyasha-yellow. Keep it in mind. -Isha)
