Shi Kyusobin: Blessed Twins

A/N: Hello there here is chapter three and quite possibly second to last chapter depending on the reviews that I get. It all depends on you readers so please let me know if you want another chapter or perhaps a side story. I have already started the Histories of the Shi Kyusobin starting with Ty Shen and I will post that when it gets done. It will be posted under original fiction but you can always look under moonchild if you want. Well enough chatter and on with the story.



Chapter 3





Ty Shen returned to the era that he had first encountered Kagome in (not the exact time) and searched for the child that Kagome said she had had. In his search he entered a small village that was not too far away from the well that had brought him here that he had found on the Higurashi shrine. His curiosity had flared at that and he wondered if that was why the Higurashi’s were appointed guardians of the temple and shrine. Also, on his way to Kagome’s room he felt the energy of an ancient time tree, which made him even more curious.



As he walked the pathways of the village he asked the villagers about Kagome and the child she had had. The villagers would just whisper a prayer or avoid the question, and others would just walk away completely. This went on for some length of time and he was becoming greatly annoyed and agitated with the simple minded incompetent villagers that he vowed to kill the next villager that did not give him the answer he wanted.



Just then a beautiful young woman who looked to be in her second trimester came walking up with a young monk and a young fox demon walking beside her and a two-tailed demon cat following close behind.



“You are searching for the child that Kagome bore?” the young woman asked softly caressing her slightly protruding belly.



“Yes, I am.” Ty Shen said looking at the young couple. “The child belongs to me. I am its father.” he said with a certain look in his eyes that they missed.



They looked at each other at his words, as if not believing what he just said. It was the fox demon that voiced what was obviously going through both their minds. “I thought Kagome was in love with Inuyasha?”



“Shippo!” the young woman scolded shooting a deadly glare at the young demon. The young demon looked to be two to three years younger than Syh, maybe a couple more than that. He also noticed that the young demon would soon grow to be a very handsome young fox demon and quite possibly become one of Syh’s many conquests. But that was for Syh to decide.



“Kagome gave the baby to Priestess Kaede to care for.” the monk was saying. That brought Ty Shen’s attention back and he looked at the monk. “Where may I find this priestess?” he asked the monk. The monk pointed down one of the pathways to a small little hut looking house that had a small little herb garden on the side.



“Thank you monk.” Ty Shen said with a little bow of his head his dark bangs falling forward with the slight tilt of his head. “May your wife bear a strong healthy baby. I know she will survive the birth for her soul is strong, I know…I can see it.” he said his eyes taking on an unusual glint.



A shiver crept through the monk’s body as he caught sight of the glint. He didn’t know why but this young man…felt like, death. Instinctively his hand reached out to his beloved wife Sango’s for strength and comfort only to find her reaching for his and taking a hold. “You felt it too, didn’t you?” he heard his beautiful wife ask, a slight quiver in her tender yet strong voice.



“I fear him, yet I am strangely drawn to him as well.” he said watching the handsome young man leave down the path towards Kaede’s house. “Me too.” he heard Sango say, her grip on his hand tightening.



“Is he the reason why Kagome left and did not come back?” the little fox demon asked.



“We can not say for certain, only Kagome can answer that for us.” the monk said his eyes still on the path the dark beauty walked down.



“Inuyasha should be returning soon, hopefully with Kagome at his side.” Sango said turning to walk back the way they had come, taking her husband Miroku’s hand as she did.



“It has been nearly a year and a half since she returned to her own time and Inuyasha has gone over there countless times only to return empty handed.” Miroku said as he walked beside his wife.



“I hope he succeeds this time, I really miss her.” Shippo said his eyes becoming sad.



“We do too Shippo.” Sango said placing a comforting hand upon his head, patting his red-hair. “Even Kohaku and Rin are concerned about her.”



“Really, Kohaku and Rin stopped by?” Miroku asked. Rin and Kohaku got together shortly after his and Sango’s wedding and only stopped by a couple times out of the year to see if there was any news with Kagome. But other then that they are off doing their own thing.



They still have yet to defeat Naraku and Miroku has a little suspicion that is why he does not spend that much time with his sister, Sango. Naraku learned a long time ago not to mess with Rin so she’s pretty much safe. Considering that she has Sesshomaru as a guardian any demon would have to be brain dead to even consider messing with her.



“Miroku, let’s go.” Sango called from a little ways ahead, an annoyed look on her glowing face.



“Coming hun.” Miroku called as his heart contracted with overwhelming love for this beautiful woman and ran up to her.

Ty Shen walked up to the small one room hut and gently pushed the hanging curtain aside. Stepping inside he looked around the small room until his eyes at last fell upon an old woman sitting on the floor holding a small beautiful baby in her gentle arms. From what he could see the baby’s hair was a dark black and his complexion was a soft cream colour. The baby’s eyes were closed so he could not tell what their colour was but he had a feeling that when they opened they would be a beautiful pale grey.



The old woman’s eyes never left him as he visually inspected the child and when he reached down to retrieve his child the priestess pulled back pulling something from within her kimono.



“Come now priestess,” Ty Shen said without looking. “I’m no demon.”



“Ye no human either.” the priestess said standing up, still holding tight to the baby Kagome had given to her in one arm while the other held out the strand of spell beads.



“That maybe, but that baby is mine.” Ty Shen said loosing patience with the old woman. “And I want I want it…now.” he said looking the priestess in the eyes.



Kaede shivered at the hint of something dark in his voice and the glint in his dark eyes and without further complaint handed the baby over to him.



Ty Shen took the baby into his arms and pulled back the piece of cloth that covered his lower section to see what gender the baby was. It was a boy.



At the feel of cool air the baby opened his eyes and scrunching up his tiny face prepared to announce his discomfort, but stopped and opening his eyes fully looked up. He was here.



When the baby looked at him Ty Shen noticed that he was wrong, the baby’s eyes were not a pale grey but a deep dark blue and he stared deep into them. After about a second he looked up to the priestess with accusation in his dark eyes. “There is another, a girl. Where is she?” he asked his eyes dark with promised malice if she did not answer him truthfully.



Kaede shivered again but answered normally. “She was taken away. The villagers feared that she was spawn of an evil demon, so they sent her away to be…cleansed.” she said turning her head away at the last part.



Ty Shen’s eyes widened at the implication in her voice. “You mean killed!” he cried horrified at the very idea. They were going to kill his baby!



“There was nothing I could do!” Kaede cried looking at him again. “It happened whilst I was away!” she told his retreating back as he flew out the doorway, baby held firmly in his arms.



As Ty Shen raced through the little village Kishan appeared beside him. “To murder an innocent baby, that is just inhumane.” he said as he raced beside his leader and present lover/partner.



“We’ve got to find her Kishan, we’ve just got to.” Ty Shen said his voice an odd sort of calm/frantic still holding tight to his son.



“We will Shen. The alarm has already been sounded and everyone called into action.” Kishan assured him as they left the small town.

Not more than thirty minutes passed by when news arrived by way of one of their own the location of Ty Shen’s daughter. The messenger was Laynen, previously the only set of twins to grace the order.



“Shen,” Laynen said appearing in front of him and Kishan. “We found her, my brother an I.” he told his leader taking the baby from his arms. “There is a small group of human priests that has the young lady and they’re about to enter a cave just to the south east. You must hurry.” he said and disappeared with the child in arm.



Ty Shen and Kishan raced to the cave that Laynen told them about and found the group of human priests with the Shi Kyusobin’s most precious treasure getting ready to enter the cave.



Ty Shen and Kishan looked at each other and in the blink of an eyes disappeared only to reappear in front of the humans with short swords drawn. Kishan drew double blades and he wielded them with a deadly grace and skill. Kishan was Ty Shen’s teacher in the art of the short sword.



Every member of the Shi Kyusobin wielded a different sort of weapon; all were light weight and easy to carry and wield. Ty Shen- the short sword, Kishan- double short swords, Syh- twin daggers made of light weight unbreakable silver. Maynen and Laynen both wielded katanas. Lythen- a sword called the Rsycha. Both Kaymen and Rhan wield long swords however Kaymen’s sword is slightly curved. Kerith- a scythe on a chain. A weapon he himself invented. Len also invented his own weapon, a silver throwing fan. Sen’s weapon- double throwing fans, gifts from Len. And last Kiro- double scythes. Both scythe weapons have short handles that have a trigger that extends its length.



Each member also carries on his belt throwing knives, kunais, throwing stars and anything else that they could think of to use as a weapon.



The group of humans stopped in mid step and stared at the two black clothed figures standing before them. They were hooded in a black silk fabric and a black cloth of the same fabric was covering the lower half of their faces. Their clothes were of the same black silk; the sleeves of their shirts were long and billowy and were tightened by a black silk ribbon. Both wore soft black leather vests that were etched with an intricate design and ended at the top of their pants. The engraving on their weapons and the etching were of same design and colour. They wore long trench coats that billowed behind them in the soft breeze. The pants were the same black fabric as the shirts and they wore knee-high soft leather boots.



Their clothing alone was intimidating enough but what scared the priests witless was the look of death in their eyes. The head priest took the baby from his subordinate and slowly walked towards the two figures, the baby held out before him as if in offering to death itself. When he was a little more than half way the shorter of the two figures began walking towards him. When he was within reach he handed the baby over to him and falling onto one knee. The figure took the baby from his hands and with rage in his eyes raised his weapon high into the air preparing to cut him down.



“Shen!” he heard the other figure shout from his spot and looking up from his cringe he saw the two disappear but not before seeing the look of pure dark death in the figure’s dark blue-grey eyes. The look said ’you will die’, and then they were gone.
