A New Day...

 

Breanna's POV:

I hang some laundry up on a nearby clothes line. I put only a few clothes up before I sigh in relief about my life now. ‘LaDeja and I finished high school as best and as fast as we could and moved to the feudal era. For me it was a bit hard to do for I had to leave behind family and my dog Little Bear, but I can always visit them if I get too homesick. Life with InuYasha has been good; I have had to worry about very few things. InuYasha is trying his best to do what he can and is doing very well. I make sure that he doesn't hurt himself too badly, and to do that I threaten his dinner. Amazing at how well I can control him with food. LaDeja seems to be having a good life here to with Sesshomaru, but I don't ask her about the details. InuYasha and I have a son now, we named him James, and in truth InuYasha had no choice in the matter of choosing a name. But he seemed fine with that, I told him he can name our next son for when we have a daughter I get to name her. LaDeja and Sango think I am being a little harsh, but I don't see InuYasha complaining. James is a good boy, but I'm worried that I am babying him too much, InuYasha keeps telling me to back off and let James grow up. I guess I am just worried about losing him that I keep him close. One thing is for sure, I'll protect James with my life, and nothing can stop me from that.’  As I am putting up the last piece of clothing on the line Sango and Miroku were walking up to me with their children.

"Good morning Breanna" Yelled Miroku,

"G-good morning!" I yelled back.

"You didn't forget about the play date did you?" Miroku asked scratching behind his head.

"Of course not, I have made plenty of food for snacks, how could you think I would forget something like this Miroku?!"

"W-w-Well you looked a little shocked to see us."

"Oh no, you just scared me a little, I was just thinking about something that is all." I said as I glared at Miroku with a smile for I proved him wrong.

"Now we need to wait for LaDeja." Sango added in. We all nodded in agreement.

LaDeja’s POV

“Oka-Sama where are we going?” my children cried I sighed “I told you already we are going to your aunty Breanna and Uncle InuYasha’s home for a play date”

‘My life has changed since Breanna and I left home but I think our parents knew plus it gives me time to spend with my real family and I could always go back whenever, Sesshomaru and I have two beautiful sons, Shόki looks exactly like Sesshomaru but he acts more like me while our other son Sháka looks like a boy version of me but acts like Sesshomaru or in short fraternal twins. Father loves to spoil them constantly by giving them gifts every time they come to visit. But I find it cute as how much he loves them; I guess you could say now that I have married Sesshomaru that I am the Queen of the western lands.’

“I don’t remember Uncle InuYasha or Aunty Breanna” Shόki asked making a questioned look I smirked “Well it has been a while you haven’t seen them since you both were 2” I said as Sesshomaru and I walked on foot leading the way for Shόki and Sháka on Zuko.

After a few hours we reached the village earning hellos from the villagers who knew me well some were saying how much my kids have grown and how nice I looked just small talk, we had finally reached Breanna and InuYasha’s house for the play date.

“Hello everyone” I said with a smirk as we all stepped inside the hut Breanna smiled brightly “Hey!” she yelled her appearance changed since we last talked her brown short hair is now up to her mid back and she is wearing the priestess kimono she pulls me into a bear hug I smile and pat her back and wave to InuYasha who gives me a nod I turn to my left as Breanna lets go of me and I see Miroku and Sango they both smile and we give one another hugs and I see on her back is a small infant I gasp and smile “Is this the little one I’ve heard so much about?” I ask she nods “He’s adorable Sango” she laughs “Thank you” I feel a tug on the bottom of my long flowing red and black skirt I look down to see two small girls one on my left is wearing a green kimono with a small pigtail on her left side of her head and the other on my right is wearing a pink kimono with a small pigtail on her right side of her head the girls are both identical and look very much like Sango.

“Hmm if I remember correctly you should be Ayame” I said pointing to the little girl in green “And you should be Yuri” I said pointing to the little girl in pink they both smiled and nodded I patted them on the head and let them run off to hide shyly and giggling behind their dad I started to look around “Where’s James?” I asked Breanna smiled as I then noticed a little head hiding behind her and once we made eye contact he blushed and quickly hid behind his mother.

I smirked at his shyness “Oh how cute he’s the shy type” I said walking towards Breanna and squat down to his eye level “Now little one you’re going to hurt your dear aunt’s feelings” I said softly I could hear Shόki mutter under his breath “Why is the brat hiding for? We're all family here…” I turned to him quickly and gave him a death glare he trembled and turned away.

I looked back at James with my hands out “Come on, I don’t bite” I said with a small smile he popped his small head out as Breanna smiled down at him and patted his head engorging him to go “Go on son” InuYasha said James nodded and stepped out he looked down at his feet “I-I’m James…” he muttered I smiled “I’m your aunty LaDeja, I have some friends for you to play with it’s my two boys, your cousins Shόki and Sháka” Shόki and Sháka stepped towards us, Shόki smirked while Sháka made the same emotionless face as his father.

Breanna squealed as she saw my kids “Oh LaDeja look at them they are so cute!” she ran up to them and hugged them tightly Shόki attempted to get out of her grasp while Sháka just stood there with an irritated look on his face I laughed and looked back at James who was still being shy not once did he look up I stood up and turned to the kids once Breanna let go of mines.

“Well I think it’s time for the adults to catch up, why don’t the children go out and play” I say looking at them all of them were excited even James who made a small smile he must have been happy to play with some new friends well everyone was excited except for my kids they looked bored actually “But Oka-Sama I don’t wanna you said we’d be able to train today” Shόki whined as Sháka looked at me with no emotion but is eyes completely agreed with Shόki.

I glared down at them earning a smirk from Sesshomaru “Oh, my kids are disobeying me?” I asked them they trembled in fear and shook their heads “N-No of course not Oka-Sama!” they said now bowing up and down “Well then be good little boys and play with your family!” I yelled they nodded as the kids giggled and ran off “And don’t go off in the forest!” Breanna yelled “They should be fine Breanna” InuYasha said smirking she nodded but still looked afraid for their safety.

We all sat down by our spouses and started to drink tea Breanna made for us “So how have you’ve been Miroku, Sango?” I asked looking at them they both smiled “We’ve been fine it seems as if the world is more peaceful now that Naraku is gone” Miroku said we all nodded in agreement “Breanna? InuYasha?” I asked now turning my gaze to them they also smiled “Everything has been fine” Breanna said smiling InuYasha on the other hand was frowning “What the hell is wrong with you?” I asked looking at InuYasha as well as everyone else “Well everything is fine but I wish she would stop babying him so much” he muttered I laughed “You should have saw that coming InuYasha I mean I even saw that” everyone nodded in agreement “I don’t baby him! Do I?” she asked looking at us everyone just looked away with a small smile and a small sweat drop.

“How are you and Sesshomaru doing?” Breanna asked changing the subject I smiled “Fine, the boys want to be as strong as him” I say looking at Sesshomaru “Oh really How cute!” Breanna said laughing

“Pfft, Him strong?” InuYasha muttered “What did you say half breed?” Sesshomaru growled everyone sighed as they began to yell at each other “Will you two stop?!” I asked getting annoyed they ignored me and I glared at both of them but smirked once I noticed the beads of subjugation still around InuYasha’s neck “Oh Breanna” I said “Yes?” she asked turning to me “I just can’t seem to remember what that word you always said to InuYasha…” I said faking a pondering look “Oh! You mean Sit right?” she said and at that instant InuYasha’s face planted into wooden floor planks I smiled evilly “Oh yes that word” I said with a soft chuckle Breanna looked a bit shocked and then smiled “Oh my bad” she said InuYasha slowly lifted his head up and glared at me I only smiled innocently.

Shόki’s POV

“Now what shall we play?” both Ayame and Yuri asked excitedly we all were in a circle thinking with our hands under our chins in thought “How about we play Heroes?” I asked they all nodded in agreement “But I think we should go to the forest way more room there!” I said “But Aunty Breanna said we shouldn’t” Sháka said emotionlessly “Oh come on nothing bad is in the forest!” I said Sháka sighed and gave in Ayame and Yuri was up to playing in the forest except for James he was looking unsure “Come on you do what mama tells ya?” I asked looking down at him he shook his head “N-not all the time!” he said louder than his shy soft voice “Well ok then let’s go!” I yelled everyone nodded and we ran towards the forest.

James's POV:

 “Come on, you do what mama tells ya?” Shόki asked looking down at me, he shook his head

 “N-not all the time” I said in a louder voice than normal.

 “Well ok then let’s go!” Shόki yelled. Everyone nodded and we ran towards the forest.

As we entered the forest my skin started to crawl. I never went into the forest without Mom or Dad. I kept looking around me for every noise put me on edge, every shadow made me jump. A rabbit with a big set of ears jumped out of a bush and landed by my foot. I was so nervous that I stepped back too quickly and landed on my rear. The rabbit stared at me, as did Shόki, Sháka, Ayame, and Yuri.

 "Don't tell me you are afraid of a cute little rabbit?" Ayame asked, as soon as she spoke the rabbit ran into another set of bushes.

 "N-no the rabbit just got me by surprise." I stuttered out. Shόki looked disappointed in my actions, and didn't believe me.

 "Come on, let’s go a little farther. James you better hurry up or we will leave you behind." Shόki spoke aloud. I sigh and think to myself,

 'Why am I so nervous? Is it because I'm not with Mom or Dad? Is it because I am going against their orders? Could it be from the others? I haven't met them before and they all seem tougher than me. Even Ayame and Yuri, maybe Dad is right on me starting to train in battle. Mom is completely against it. She says that I am too young, that I should enjoy being a child and have fun while I still can.' I lost my train of thought as Shόki said,

 "This is the perfect spot." He looked proud of himself for finding a good area to play in. I looked around and saw that is was a good size clearing, so there is plenty of room to play around in. Ayame and Yuri squealed in joy for they liked the area also. Sháka looked around but still showed no facial expressions.

 "G-good find Shόki." I complimented.

 "Yes I did a great job. Nothing can stop me!" Shόki exclaimed. Sháka rolled his eyes like he had heard that line before. Shόki turned to all of us and commanded, "Let’s play our game!"

 "I have a question." Yuri asked, "Who plays who?" Shόki smirked as though he had already thought out the parts.

 "James plays the hero, Sháka you will play as the sidekick of James, Ayame and Yuri you are the damsels in distress, and I will be the powerful villain." Shόki took a quick breath then looked at all of us with a smile. We all nod in agreement to our roles, yet I wonder why Shόki chose me as the hero, he should know that I can't fight. We took our places, Shόki grabbed three sticks, handed one to Sháka and I, and kept the third for himself. Ayame and Yuri stood on a rock and giggled with excitement.

 "You do know how to fight right?" Sháka asked me quietly, sensing me becoming uneasy.

 "I, I uh-" I was cut off by Shόki taking a swing at me.

 "Pay attention James!" Shόki yelled. I could tell that Shόki loved to fight, he was full of excitement.

 'Come on James,' I thought to myself, 'Father always talked about looking for a weakness in their fighting style... But what do I look for?!' Shόki broke my train of thought when he took another swing at me. Sháka rushed in front of me and blocked the attack.

 "James get up now!" Sháka whispered harshly at me. I got up on command and tried my best to hold my ground. Sháka moved out of the way and let me take lead. I wish he would have been the hero. Shόki swung for my head; luckily I ducked in time and back flipped to gain some space between us.

 "Nice flip James!" Yuri yelled at me.

 "You must have learned that from your dad!" Ayame added in. I nodded at her as a reply not taking an eye off of Shόki. That's another thing Dad taught me.

 "I'll show you a flip!" Shόki exclaimed as he jumped in the air and did multiple somersaults in air. I was highly impressed; Shόki straightened out in air and came at me with the stick pointed at my legs. I timed his decline just right and was able to dodge his attack, and jump back, away from his second. Shόki was a bit lost for breath and I took a hard swing at Shόki, hard enough to where the wind was being cut through with the stick and you could hear it, but stopped it right next to his ear. I couldn't do it; I can't hit him even though he was trying so hard to hit me. "You should have hit me James." Shόki commented while he smacked my knees. Making me fall to the ground, "You didn't do as bad as I thought you would. Maybe you aren't such a mama's boy after all. Then again even your father will follow every word your mother says."

 "And your father doesn't follow every word your mother says?" I ask without thought of my words. Shόki thinks about what I said,

 "Actually he does follow everything she tells him to do, even if he doesn't want to do it. Though even I'm scared of disobeying her"

 "See, that how my Father feels." Shόki and I laugh at our conversation; we both see that our fathers are similar due to the fact that they both fear disobeying their wives. Our laughter is cut short when Shόki, Sháka, and I sense a bad aura. Ayame and Yuri scream in fear as a giant snake slithered into the clearing.

 "Little children, just what I wanted for my next meal." the snake demon hissed. It was almost a chore to see the snake for its green scales blended in with the trees and grass.

 "Go elsewhere snake!" Shόki yelled jumping in front of Ayame and Yuri to guard them, Sháka joined his brother. I was getting up to go join them as the snake slithered closer to me and hissed,

 "My, my, my, we have two human children, two demon children and then there is you what I find so interesting is that for a half-breed you barely put off a demon aura, you are more pure than those two girls over there. One of your parents must be a priestess or priest."

 "Stop talking like you know me!" I yelled at the Snake demon. He seemed pleased with himself.

 "James get over here Stop talking to it, you are only doing what it wants!" Shόki yelled to me. The snake slithered closer to me, took a happy sigh and asked,

 "I bet it is your mother that is the priestess, they always make good meals. I ate one just as I was getting here; she had brown hair and green eyes...." His head was getting closer and closer to my body. I cut him off with,

 "You're lying... Dad would never let that happen. You stay away from my Mother!" The snake demon's nose was almost touching my chest; I swung the stick like I did earlier, though I swung harder this time. The air swirled around my hand and all around the stick. I hit the snake so hard that when I hit its snout there was a massive dent.

 "Why you little brat" The snake demon went into a rage and tried to eat me whole; luckily Sháka grabbed me and put me by Ayame and Yuri They kept asking me if I was alright as I watched both Sháka and Shόki attacking the snake demon. I got up quickly and ran to help them, as I got closer to Shόki and Shόki, they both were knocked to the ground, and I stood in front of them and tried to guard them until they could get back up. The snake was about to take a bite out of us when Aunt LaDeja and Dad attacked the snake demon. Mother ran to me and held me tightly to her torso, as Uncle Sesshomaru picked up Sháka in one arm and Shόki in another. Mother and Sesshomaru took us to Miroku and Sango, Ayame and Yuri were with them crying. Sesshomaru death glared at Shόki and Sháka, I hope they aren't in too big of trouble. Mother put me down and turned to the snake demon, pulling out her bow and arrows. She set the arrow and pulled it back tight.

"Never mess with a mother's children!" She whispered harshly before she let go of her arrow. Mother is a great shot for she got it right in the head, it backed down enough to where Aunt LaDeja sliced up the demon without a problem, chunks of it were everywhere as proof. Aunt LaDeja and Dad walked back to where the rest of us were. Mother was scolding me for going into the forest and how she told me not too, and blah, blah, blah Dad only glared at me with his arms crossed and said to mother,

 "At least he isn't dead. He was trying to fight, I'm telling you, you are babying-"

 "Sit Boy" Mother yelled sternly Father's face met the ground with a huge thud and made a nice hole in the ground. The other children became afraid of what their mother's would do to them. I look and see that Sháka and Shόki weren't being left off the hook either.

 "I bet it was you Shόki that got the others to follow you into the forest. You were told to stay out of the forest and for good reason!-" I cut Aunt LaDeja off and said in a sweet voice,

 "Sorry to interrupt you but it wasn't Shόki or Sháka that had the idea to go into the forest..." What was I thinking?! Mother won't let me out of the house for a week or more, but I don't want them to have all the blame. I should have tried to convince them to stay away from the forest better.

 "Then who did?" Aunt LaDeja asked in rage with her arms crossed.

 "I did ma'am..." I said with my head hung low. I glanced at Aunt LaDeja real quick and saw her with a small smirk. I hung my head low again to try and keep the act going. Mother sighed and suggested that we all return to the house and call it a day. 

 As everyone was leaving Sháka and Shόki ran over to me and said,

 "Thanks for the help you gave us back there. Sure it wasn't much but hey you tried."

 "One day I want to be at least as strong as you two..." I hung my head so that my bangs would cover my blushing face. Shόki Scratched behind his head and said,

 "What do you mean 'at least' you saying you are going to be stronger than us one day? Good luck with that weakling." The grin on his face was full of ego yet a hint of sarcasm. I lifted my head up and nodded,

 "I have to make sure I can keep up with you two in battles!" I couldn't get the smile off my face. I was excited to think about being as strong as them. As I waved them goodbye as they flew off home, I walked into the house with Mother and Father, yet I couldn't help but think of a way to bring up to my parents that I want to learn Dad's fighting style more than anything, I want to be able to fight.

Shόki’s POV

The ride home was silent for awhile until I broke it “Oka-Sama…” I managed call out she slightly turned to me letting me know she was listening “James didn’t make us go in the forest I did…” I mumbled she smirked “I know, James isn’t the type to get into mischief unlike you Shόki but I’m glad this did happen you two gave that boy a push that he needed” she said I looked at Sháka confused as to what mother was saying “She means we gave James courage” he whispered I nodded mumbling “oh” I then smirked “Yeah he needs it!” I said loudly laughing to myself “Now I heard from your grandfather that he would like to see the both of you” mother said with a sigh “Oh! Can we?” I replied over and over “Fine but know it’s going to cut into your training time” she muttered me and Sháka smiled at one another waiting to see grandpa knowing he was going to shower us with gifts and let us play with Cerberus.

“Too bad I didn’t get to see my dear Rin, you trouble makers had me so worked up that we forgot to stop by…” mom said with frown I tilted my head and my eyebrow raised in interest “Eh who is Rin?” I asked “Isn’t she the girl that Oto-Sama drops off Kimono’s to all the time?” Sháka asked quietly mom nodded “Yes, she is your big sister, I guess you could say” I nodded looking up at the sky it was the late afternoon and the sky was a dark blue “Oto-Sama can we have a little brother?” I asked mom jolted and had a weak nervous smile on her face “I don’t mind but I think you’d have to ask your mother” dad said with a weird smile on his face that both Sháka and I never seen before “I’m sure you don’t mind…” mom muttered under her breath “Well see kids well see…”she just replied both Sháka and I were confused as to what was going on but decided not to ask why.

3^rd POV

A young boy with short messy un-kept blonde hair with what seemed as black horns on his head and face buried into his lap hiding away his golden eyes that cried out for someone silently cried to himself, he was abandoned, alone and had none other than himself.

He sat on the hard and cold ground as happy families walked along not even giving him but a sideways glance, he envied those kids who had parents for he did not have anyone but himself.

He always wanted to be hugged by his mother and smothered to death until he got her stop and he always wanted his father to praise him and pat him on the shoulder or maybe even just mess up his hair with his hands joking with him, but how could a boy go along with this without any parents? He had no one but himself and to see all these happy children walk along with their happy parents made him hate everyone his anger grew and grew that somehow they turned into his own demons that gave him strength and that boy swore on his life that if he couldn’t have a family and feel loved and cherished and be happy than no one else could either.

“Little boy…” a voice called out to him he looked up and saw no one all of the villagers were walking along minding their own business, so he thought maybe he was just imaging things and made himself comfortable again by burring his head back into his lap.

“Little boy~…” the voice called to him once again the boy knew he wasn’t imagining things this time he knew he heard that voice and it was closer this time maybe just an inch away from his face he slowly looked up to see a glowing dark purple orb floating an inch away from his face scared and shocked he backed closer to the wall of an dumpling shop he was at in the back.

“W-Who are you?” the boy asked scared out of his mind thinking he was going to die and no one was going to care or even know the orb floated closer to him “Me?” it asked slyly the boy slowly nodded still bracing himself against the wall staring at this purple orb floating closer to him “I am what you envy so much, I know you hate to have no family and you wish to eliminate all of those happy don’t you little boy?” it asked him sounding very sly and so cunning the boy nodded “H-How did you know?” the boy asked the orb floated in a circle “Oh I know all these cries of help but, I have decided to help you little boy but you will need to follow my every order understand?” the orb asked the boy nodded “Good, what shall I call you?” the boy shrugged “I don’t have a family so I don’t have a name” “I will name you Kumori” the orb said floating closer to the boy “Kumori…” the boy muttered liking the name letting it sync into his brain he even liked the taste it gave saying it so he repeated once again “But what will I call you?” the boy asked looking up at the orb “You may call me…Naraku” he said before chuckling evilly.
