Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Betrothed Mating ❯ Chapter Eleven ( Chapter 11 )

Chapter 11

 

The shrine was flowing with life as the two boys played around with their powers. Feeding them into the plant life and fixing things that needed it. Souta decided to plant some herbs and help them grow. Shippo decided to help him, and soon they had an entire herb garden. The Goshinboku was also given some of their energy, and it happily took all they offered it.

 

They were still playing around when a strong surge of power began to crackle through the air. It felt constricting, almost like they couldn't breathe or move. They could see Kagome move towards them, could hear her directions as darkness threatened to overtake their vision. They could also see three shadowy figures at the shrine steps. The power was seeping off of them and into the air.

The boys were walking through the city, having given up on finding the two power levels that spiked, and were looking for the three stray demons. That's when they felt the strong surge of youki and could feel a nearby demon. They all tensed before taking off. Yusuke shifted to his demonic form as he realized where they were heading, and he took off with a greater amount of speed. Kurama shifted to his Youko form and picked up Kuwabara before taking off after the Mazoku. Hiei sped up as well, and they all skidded to a halt at the top of the shrine steps.

 

Kagome was kneeling on the ground in front of her brother and son. Glaring at the three demons, as she whispered something to the boys. Both of which looked to be on the brink of passing out. Or at least, they had. Silver energy began swirling slightly around Souta's form as he pushed himself up to stand. Golden tendrils of power began wrapping themselves around the kit's form as he, too, rose to his feet.

 

Kagome smiled serenely as she also rose. Standing between the two boys as she did so. Wisps of power crackled along her form as well. One of the cloaked demons laughed as that occurred. "So they can hold against my youki. It will not help them."

 

Violet eyes glared at the three before them as Souta took a step forward. "We could beat you if we wanted to." Silver flickered to life as the color threatened to overtake the rest. Shippo gave a nod of agreement as his golden flecks began to dance like flame through his emerald green eyes.

 

"You couldn't even defeat my father on your own kit, what makes you think you could defeat me?" Asked the demon in the middle as he stepped forward and pushed his hood down. Long white hair fell unbound down his back as his blood red eyes danced with glee.

 

“Impossible.” Kagome muttered as she took in his appearance.

 

“I am Kazuki.” The male demon said as he mock bowed to the woman. “I thought it polite to give you fair warning that I'm after you, my lady.”

 

“That makes you immensely different from your father then.” The woman stated calmly. “Now I have a question for you.”

 

“And what is that?” Kazuki asked curiously.

 

“Are you an incarnation, or an actual child of his?”

 

The demon's eyes danced with merriment at that question. “I was wondering if you'd ask. I am born from him and another woman, but these two are not. This is Byakuya and Kinmotsu.” He introduced them as his smirk remained on his face. “I must go for now, lady priestess, but remember my warning. I will return for you.”

 

“Come near me again, and there won't even be ashes left.” She said in a deceptively sweet voice.

 

“It took a fire demon lord to kill my father, and you think you have a chance against me?” The demon asked with a smirk.

 

Kagome smiled sweetly at him. “Your father had the Shikon.”

 

“Well the jewel was destroyed.”

 

“Was it?” She questioned ever so innocently as silver mist began swirling around her. The three demons backed away from her, as the yuyu gang's eyes widened. Silver energy slowly began to dance along her skin. With a nod to the boys, they both smirked. Golden energy began rising and swirling around the kit as silver energy encased the boy. “I think we need to escort you off the shrine.”

 

That was all the boys needed as they raced forward, each taking on one of the powerful demons. The lead demon, Kazuki, went after Kagome as they did. She easily sidestepped his attack and landed a punch to his chest. Surprisingly and amazingly, it sent him sailing clear out of the shrine grounds. Souta's opponent left next, as Souta managed to kick him out. Shippo's way was a little more flashy, as he used the surrounding plants. Souta fell over laughing as he saw a healing herb throttling the demon. The miko merely shook her head, causing the kit to give her an innocent look. “What momma?”

 

“Just get him off the shrine Shippo.”

 

“Yes mommy.” The boy said with a pout as the herb threw him as far as it could.

 

“What the hell…” The voice had them turning to see that the yuyu gang were there.

 

“Hiei?” Kagome questioned as she looked at him in slight shock.

 

“Are you one of the energy sources that we were running around trying to find all day?” Yusuke more demanded then asked as he looked at her.

 

“I doubt it, my energy remains masked at all times.” After a moment she added “though you might've sensed when Souta and Shippo's powers fully awakened.”

 

“What do you mean?” Kurama questioned as he looked at her.

 

“She means that she taught us how to tap into our full power and release the barrier that held it inside us.” Souta stated as silver energy continued to swirl around him. “Next she's training us to be taijiya, right sis?”

 

The girl smiled as she nodded. “If that's what you want Souta.”

 

“Yes!” The boy exclaimed. “I can't wait to be able to help you this time.”

 

“This time?” The miko questioned as she turned toward him. “What are you talking about?”

 

“You're going after that Kazuki person, right?”

 

“No she's not!” Yusuke exclaimed as he glared at the boy. “And neither are you.”

 

“I can speak for myself Yusuke.” The girl said calmly as she looked at him, she then turned to face her younger brother. “I'm not going to look for a fight, besides we need to wait here.”

 

“May I inquire as to what exactly is going on here?” Kurama questioned as he looked at the woman.

 

“I am having a conversation with my little brother about something that you need not know of.”

“Sis, what all happened in the past?” Souta questioned as he plopped down onto her bed.

 

“You know most of what happened.” She replied with a sigh.

 

“But not all, and I know that there are things that you're hiding.”

 

“I've only kept the darker parts of the story out.”

 

“I wanna hear them though.” He responded. “Shippo knows them.”

 

“He was there Souta, otherwise he wouldn't know them.”

 

“That's not fair though. I might need to know these things if something happened. Enemies could try to use this kind of information against me.”

 

That thought made the miko pause as she thought it over. There was a slight possibility that her enemies could decide to use something she'd done in the past against her little brother, so she supposed she should be the one to tell him. “Alright Souta, you win. I'll tell you what you want to know.”

 

“Really?” The boy asked in a surprised yet happy tone. “What made you cave?”

 

“There are some things which happened in the past, and it's better if you hear them from me than from someone else.” The young woman stated as she looked to her younger brother.

 

“What kind of things?”

 

“Things I'd rather you not have to know about.” She stated with a sigh as a look passed into her eyes which made her look much older than she was. In that moment, Souta could tell that the events of the past had taken their toll and matured his older sister far more than she had originally let on.

I know that I haven't updated in a while, and I'm sorry. I'm attempting to update each of my stories, and then I'll hopefully be able to continue updating quickly. At least once a month is my hope, as the chapters should start getting slightly longer. And now I need to thank my loyal readers who've waited for this update. I know it's a little short, but I needed to get an update out.
