Inumaru

“Kikyo! Kikyo!” a child’s voice rang out through the air causing a black haired priestess to turn around. Her mahogany eyes twinkled as the child ran up to her, “Yes Shinko?” Her musical voice held a note of amusement as the young girl’s half-brother ran up to her as well.

“Maru hit me!” the brown haired girl whined gesturing at her brother.

“Now now Inumaru. What have I said about hitting Shinko?” Kikyo admonished the small half-demon gently. Inumaru pouted at her and the priestess let out a tinkling laugh and shooed them away, “go on children, go play. I have to collect some herbs for your village elder.” Shinko nodded and grabbed Inumaru’s clawed hand. The two children skipped off into the meadow while Kikyo watched them silently, her smile faltering.
Isako, the mother of both of the children and a dear friend of Kikyo, had been raped by a dog demon in heat and had bore the hanyou as a result. Isako loved the boy dearly but her rape still haunted her, she would flinch when the little boy’s golden eyes would glint, when the silver hair came into sight. Kikyo remembered their conversation well.

“ I can’t do this Kikyo.” The young woman whispered tiredly, her once shiny brown hair laying lank on her pale skin. Kikyo watched her, waiting for her to continue, “I can’t stand to see the pain and hurt in Inumaru’s face when I flinch or turn away but I can’t help it. He looks so much like his father, those eyes…that hair, those fangs…” Isako trailed off and hugged her arms to her chest, shivering. Kikyo frowned and lay a blanket on the thin shoulders. The woman looked up at her, “Can you do one thing for me? It is all that I will ever ask of you.”

“ I can try.” Kikyo frowned, “ what is it?”

“ I need you to take Inumaru. Take him as one of your own.” At those words Kikyo jumped to her feet. “Kikyo wait!” desperate hands grabbed her sleeve, “Please hear me out!” hearing the plain agony in the voice, Kikyo hesitated.

“Isako, I am one of the dead. I have duties not suitable for the living. Your son’s innocence would be shattered by my-what I have to do.” Kikyo tried to make her friend understand but Isako only continued to stare at her with blank eyes. But the brown eyes soon filled with desperation and she grabbed Kikyo again, “I need you to do this Kikyo! If my master finds out..he will kill me, Shinko, Inumaru…”

“ Inumaru is your son. He needs you.”Kikyo didn’t know what to do

“ He adores you Kikyo. You are true family to him. I never do anything with him but flinch and try to avoid him. I know you care for him as well.” Isako pleaded with her. Kikyo’s eyes flicked over to where the little hanyou was sleeping, he looked so much like Inuyasha. Kikyo had named the little boy, endearing him to her heart. She sighed and turned to her friend,
“alright I will do it”
