*~*~*~*~mate of fate*~*~*~*~*

A small girl sits in a field of wild flowers picking lilacs happily. But this girl is no ordinary girl atop her head she had two small black dog ears, inherited by her father. When suddenly she hears her mother calling her "Tumitsu!!!! Go get your brother its dinner time!" "Ok mom!" Tumitsu walked over to the river where her brother Otoshi was playing with the village boys. "Otoshi mom says its dinner time" "Ok Tumitsu one minute!" Finally the twins set off home the river was quiet a long way from they're hut and they even got to battle a youkai along the way. You see although the twins are only six they are very capable of battling weak youkai without help they both possess they're mothers miko powers although at a lesser extend. Otoshi battles with a sword called the sesumi and a small boomerang which compared to the small boy, is quite large in which he channels his miko powers making it burn on impact of evil youkai. Tumitsu on the other hand battles with bows and arrows which she channels her miko powers she also carries a sword called the Itokai. And can you believe it they're only six! Well they are hanyous.

~*~*next day*~*~*~

While Otoshi was busy down bye the river with his friends Tumitsu was busy running up a really steep hill she had always dreamed of reaching the top. She was almost there! Then she bumped into someone. As if on instinct she drew her bow and arrow

"Who are you and why are you here?" She sniffed deeply i a hanyou but not my brother but this is my fathers land no other youkai let alone hanyous allowed! Well he must not know whose land he's on I'll set him straight!i

" Hey you're not supposed to be on my father's land you know no other hanyous or youkai allowed!" The boy had jet black hair and it was done the way her uncle miroku did his hair and he had armor that of a wolf pack with elf like ears and a wolf tail, she decided he wasn't much of a threat since his only weapon was a small dagger which Tumitsu could doge with ease, she lowered her bow.

"s-sorry I just got lost and I thought it might be easier to find my parents if I could see them from all the way up on this hill" he said meekly.

" Hey a bow and arrow! And a sword! Wow how did u get those!"

" They were gifts from my parents and I can use them really well watch!" Tumitsu then shot the arrow straight into a notch of a tree

"Bulls eye!"

"Wow!"

"What's your name?"

"Tumitsu . What's yours?"

"Cudako and im a wolf prince!"

" Well im a dog princess!"

"Wolves are faster then dogs"

"People like dogs better than wolves"

" I have a twin!"

"So do i!"

"What's his name?"

" Tasho. What about yours?"

"Otoshi he's got a sword just like me and a boomerang and it's HUGE!"

"Cool! My parents don't think that im ready for big weapons so they give me a dagger to protect myself with"

" We have weapons because we have to help protect our village and this jewel thingy my parents have"

"I think they called it the shikon no tama or something"

"So do you want to go play in the woods?"

"What about your parents?"

" we'll look for them while were in the woods"

"ok"

the two then set off into the forest playing happily and yelling and pouncing each other. They each said goodbye as it started to get dark as cudako went in search of his parents and Tumitsu went home. Then as soon as she entered her father came downstairs and growled then he drew the tetsugiaga his prized sword from its sheath.

"I smell the wimpy wolf"

"where daddy?" asked Otoshi

"im not sure"

*~*~*~inuyasha's pov*~*~*~*

Tumitsu just came home then an oh-so-familiar-smell can into play

Koga.

That wimpy wolf was here but I couldn't place my finger where , it smelled like it was coming from Tumitsu . No why would Tumitsu my own daughter be around koga? No it's not exactly koga it has a woman's scent mixed in too problem his mate no probably his pup. It all made sense now!

"Tumitsu did u meet any other kids you're age while scouting the grounds?"

"yeah daddy they're was a hanyou he said his name was cudako and that he had lost his wolf pack and was trying to find them so I helped him out and we looked for them all afternoon"

" don't play with him anymore"

" but daddy!! Why!! He my friend!"

" do as I say"

*pout* "yes daddy" grumbled Tumitsu.
