~The Gangs Back~ One

He sighed in annoyance waiting for the monk to appear so they could finish this once, and for all. His dog ears picked up the sound of the monk heading his way, along with the demon that was approaching him fast.

"About time Miroku!" he shouted getting his claws ready for the weasel spirit that was going to appear in front of him. Of course this was going to be over soon, but he didn't care at least he was going to be finished with it.

"Inuyasha, it's coming your way!" Miroku called out.

"I can smell it." Inuyasha said a smirk on his face with the anticipation of the kill, and there it was the weasel trying to escape from them, too bad it ran straight into Inuyasha himself. Inuyasha ready to strike stopped in his tracked when the weasel was suddenly surrounded by flames. Inuyasha's mouth dropped as the demon spirit was killed in the blue-green fire.

"What the, Shippo!" Inuyasha shouted as the young fox demon jumped out of the tree a proud smile on his face. Inuyasha clutched his fist in anger, with a note of irritation and hit Shippo over the head. Shippo winced.

"Hey! What's the big deal I'm still just a kid you know!" Shippo cried out. Inuyasha looked away.

"That was mine Shippo, just because you learned a few tricks doesn't mean you have to get in the way." Inuyasha shouted. Shippo glared at him, pointing a finger at Inuyasha.

"You're just jealous! Ever since we defeated Naraku there's nothing for you to do but kill small fry demons, you've become a loser!" Shippo said. Inuyasha gave him the glare of death, and Shippo knew he was doomed.

"Inuyasha did you get the weasel?" Miroku called out as he appeared looking at a satisfied Inuyasha, and a pained Shippo who was holding his head.

"I'm guessing everything went well." Miroku said.

Inuyasha mumbled under his breath about being finished as they made their way back to the village.

"I'm very surprised in you Shippo taking on a weasel spirit." Miroku was saying as Shippo walked by his side, a big smile on his face.

"Really? I wasn't sure I could do it, but I had to try. Father always said that I wouldn't know if I didn't try it." Shippo said.

"Did your Father also tell you its rude attacking someone else's demon?" Inuyasha snapped. Shippo gave him a smirk.

"Actually Father said if the first demon is taking their sweet time to kill it, then can take the advantage underneath them." Shippo said making Inuyasha growl angrily, before he could kill Shippo, Miroku bonked Inuyasha with his staff shaking his head.

"Temper Inuyasha and I assumed you'd be in a better mood." Miroku said. Inuyasha glared at him, "Of course I'm in a good mood about that, but it's been three years since we killed Naraku. Who knew that after this we'd just become like everyone else." he said making a face. Inuyasha could always go off, and find Sesshomaru and start picking up his duties as the western prince, but Inuyasha didn't want to do that now. Of course Sesshomaru had been harassing him to start being Father's successor now that Sesshomaru himself has suppressed him, but Inuyasha didn't want to do that…not without her. Inuyasha sighed, he knew she wasn't going to come back any time soon, and even if she did she wouldn't want to start living up to their Father's real footsteps.

"Is something the matter Inuyasha?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha scratched his head sucking in a deep breath.

"If things stay the way they are I might have to leave." He admitted to them. Shippo looked at him with wide eyes confused, what did he mean he had to leave?

"Sesshomaru wants me to help him run the western lands it's my duty as well— you know." Inuyasha said too embarrassed to say it.

"With you being a demon prince." Miroku said. Inuyasha blushed nodding his head.

"I keep forgetting Inuyasha is important being the airhead that he is." Shippo said which earned him a slap over the head.

"Anyways, if this keeps it up the way they are I won't have a choice." He said.

"Why don't you just go now? You know we'll support you." Shippo said. Inuyasha snorted, he already knew that but he still couldn't go just yet.

"Is it Kara?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha's ears flopped down at the sound of his younger sister's name. For over four years he hasn't seen, or heard anything about her since the day she decided to go off on her own without Sesshomaru or Inuyasha accompanying her. He wouldn't admit it to anyone but he missed her deeply, not just because she was his sister, but the fact that she was the only one who would understand what he was going through. Kara being the daughter of the great dog demon, made her a princess of the western lands a title Sesshomaru has been calling them both after they defeated Naraku. For the past months Sesshomaru has been searching for Kara, but came back telling Inuyasha that he couldn't locate her scent. Inuyasha feared the worst, but he had to remember that this was Kara. She would never let anything bad happen to herself.

"I don't want to do it alone Miroku." Was all Inuyasha said, Miroku nodded, he may not understand the whole demon world, but he understood that Kara was the only person Inuyasha could relate to, it was she that Inuyasha so desperately needed now.

When they arrived at the village Miroku was greeted happily by his two twin daughters' who also jumped at the sight of seeing Shippo.

"Welcome, how was the demon you defeated?" Sango asked holding there six month year old son in her arms as she came out of the hut.

"Feh." Was all Inuyasha said as he made his way around the hut following her scent.

"He's in a mood, what's up?" Sango asked. Miroku shook his head as he watched his daughter's begin to chase Shippo around a circle.

"Let's just say Inuyasha deeply misses his sister more than ever now." Miroku said. Sango nodded, she could relate to Inuyasha on this, for years she watched in agony as Kohaku was a puppet for Naraku, and now she still worried for him as he continued to follow in their father's footsteps in being a slayer.

"Good thing she's back, without her Inuyasha would really be alone." Sango said. Miroku nodded. Inuyasha turned around the hut heading up the shrine steps, he took them two at a time, and by the time he reached the top their she stood.

Kagome was wearing the traditional robes a priestess should wear top white shirt, and red pants, her raven black hair was pulled back in a high ponytail as she aimed her arrow at a tree that she was using as a target. Inuyasha couldn't believe that after three years he finally had Kagome back with him. She wiped the sweat from her face, and turned already sensing Inuyasha was watching her practice.

"Hey." Kagome said with a warm smile as Inuyasha took the last few steps wrapping Kagome up in a hug. He really needed to remind himself that she wasn't an illusion that she was actually here with him, and that they were mated for life.

"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Kagome asked already sensing something was wrong with him, but he shook his head.

"Nothing, why are you still practicing anyways." Inuyasha asked looking at the arrows that hit the mark. He wasn't at all surprised to see Kagome shooting arrows up here, ever since she returned six months ago she'd been training non-stop.

"Oh you know, making sure I haven't forgotten how to use it, not to mention shoot. Do you remember when I first shot an arrow you made fun of me." Kagome teased, Inuyasha smiled taking a hold of Kagome's hand. Of course he could remember for the past three years ever since he lost Kagome he's done nothing more than to remember moment's he and Kagome shared.

"Stupid, of course I do." Inuyasha said. Kagome smiled as she lifted her head up, and Inuyasha met her as their lips touched. They pulled back, and Inuyasha let out a growl.

"Damn it." he said as he caught the scent coming towards him.

"What is it?" Kagome asked.

"Sesshomaru." was all Inuyasha said.

Rin came out of Kaede's hut sensing him approach and she was right, there he came appearing out of the sky landing in front of her.

"Lord Sesshomaru." Rin said a soft smile on her face. Sesshomaru still looked at her coldly, but his eyes soften as he handed her a package that he held in his left hand.

"I brought you another present Rin." Sesshomaru said. Rin took the package a huge smile on her face as she thanked him when Inuyasha came with Kagome on his back.

"What do you want Sesshomaru." Inuyasha said as Kagome climbed off his back. Sesshomaru smirked seeing his brother stand in front of him.

"Inuyasha, have you made a decision yet?" Sesshomaru asked. Inuyasha stiffened. Of course he hasn't made a decision yet; he couldn't make one without having her by his side.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked confused by what was going on between the two brothers. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed.

"Enough of this stalling Inuyasha I will make this decision for you." Sesshomaru snapped. Inuyasha flinched.

"What's going on? What decision do you have to make?" Kagome asked.

The duty of a western prince, Inuyasha it's time." Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha growled his claws out.

"No." he growled.

"This is foolish of you Inuyasha, she is not coming back." Sesshomaru snapped. Inuyasha pulled out his Tetsusaiga pointing it to Sesshomaru.

"You may have lost hope, but I haven't." Inuyasha said coldly. Kagome stepped in front of both brothers; she couldn't let them fight over something so childish.

"Stop it both of you, if Kara was here she wouldn't want you guys fighting." Kagome shouted. Both brothers flinched at the sound of their younger sisters name, Inuyasha put away his sword, looking down at his feet, bangs covering his eyes. Kagome turned looking at Sesshomaru, his eyes staring at her blankly.

"You want Inuyasha to start his duty as his Father's son, and I agree." Kagome said. Inuyasha lifted his head staring at Kagome.

"You don't know what you're talking about." he said angrily. Kagome glared at him.

"This is your duty Inuyasha! You can't run from it." Kagome said. Inuyasha glared at her, and then at Sesshomaru who had a satisfied smirk on his face.

"Listen to your mate Inuyasha; she knows what's best for." Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha pointed a finger at him to shut up, and then glared at Kagome was staring at him with patient eyes.

"I can't do this alone." he told her softly. Kagome only smiled taking a hold of his hand in hers.

"You're not alone. You have me." she said. Inuyasha smiled softly staring into her warm brown eyes that told him that no matter she wasn't going to ever leave him again. Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru his eyes narrowing for a spilt second, and then nodded his head.

"Fine, I'll go with you, with my friends." Inuyasha said. Sesshomaru let out a sigh and then nodded.

"Bring them if you wish I not only came for you, but for Rin as well." Sesshomaru said and with that said he turned around looking at the young girl who was still waiting outside the hut.

"Be ready in the morning." was all Sesshomaru said.
