Recap
"Hey Yumi! Please bear my child!" Yashuo requested, for the first time ever (at least for Yumi anyway!). Yumi looked at him as if he was crazy.
"She's MY woman!" Masaru yelled, grabbing Yashuo by his robes.
Yumi just watched them scwabble, not getting involved. As if she'd ever consider being with either of these two! For one, they, well let's just say... Not her type... And they were her best friends! Awkward!
"We have no time for such nonsense. Let's go." Katsu said, with no emotion.
Chapter 2: A parent's worst nightmare.
"Yumi, time to get up!" Kagome said, knocking on Yumi's closed door.
"You should let the kid sleep, she had a long day yesterday." Inuyasha suggested.
"She has chores she needs to attend to, Inuyasha. And since when have you been so concerned with how tired she is?" Kagome looked at Inuyasha suspiciously
"Since I wanted some alone time with a certain miko." Inuyasha said slyly, moving over to Kagome, and pulling her against him.
"Now?" She asked looking at him with one eyebrow up.
"Yes, now!" He said in his usual tone.
"What about- -"
"Emi and Nao are still asleep. You have no excuses, wench!" Inuyasha said playfully, beginning to kiss the base of Kagome's neck.
She wanted to, but she had so much to do today. And the kids would be up soon, and Songo was coming over. She decided she just had to rain check with Inuyasha, until he hit her sweet spot- her mate mark. Forget chores, kids, and friends, let's boogie! (I honestly don't know why... Forgive me... Forget that I ever said "let's boogie"... Oh God is all hope for me lost?)
Some increment of time later
"You think that we should tell Yumi?" Kagome asked, getting dressed.
"You think she's ready?" Inuyasha replied his own question.
"Well, she has been discovering her own abilities a lot lately. She noted her speed and strength yesterday, and I think she'll start to notice her advanced senses soon too." Kagome looked at her human-looking husband.
"She's noticed mine too. Remind me why we didn't tell them that they're part demon?" Inuyasha asked
"Sesshomaru said it might put them in danger. He hasn't even told Katsu that he's a full youkai." Kagome explained (A/N: Katsu's parent revealed: Sesshomaru! And Katsu's mother is a Inu-youkai too. Rin is more like Sesshomaru's daughter. Well, his grown up daughter)
"Why do we have to listen to Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked bitterly
"He's looking out for our best interests. There is word that a Youkai calling himself Naraku is out there. Whether it has any connection to the real Naraku, we can't be certain, but he seems powerful." Kagome said, trying to remember something
"But Naraku was destroyed with the Shikon no Tama! I was there! I saw it happen!" Inuyasha started to get frustrated
"Yeah, and I was the one who destroyed the jewel. All we know is that he is CALLING himself Naraku. Maybe it's just someone who wants to gain the kind of power Naraku had. Anyway, let's go tell Yumi. She needs to be aware of her own abilities, and the dangers out there." Kagome said.
"Alright." Inuyasha said, almost pouting.
They walked out into the hallway over to Yumi's door. Kagome knocked, but no answer. She knocked again, louder this time, but still no response. She finally opened the door, but there was no one on the futon. The room was unusually clean too.
"Maybe she's downstairs." Inuyasha shrugged.
"Yumi!" Kagome yelled, thinking the same thing
"I'll go look." Inuyasha leaped down the stairs, and looked around.
"She's not down here, either."
"She must've gotten started on her chores when we were up here." Kagome inferred
Then there was a knock on the door. Inuyasha opened it to reveal Songo.
"Hey Songo, how are you this morning?" Kagome asked, walking down the stairs.
"Good. Have you seen Yashou? We haven't seen him all morning, and nor Miroku or I can find him." Songo asked, but she didn't seem worried.
"That's weird, because we can't seem to find Yumi. Have you seen her?" Kagome inquired
"No. Maybe they're together." Songo suggested.
"If that mini-lecher touches my daughter, he'll get the Shippo Treatment!" Inuyasha cracked his knuckles, getting angry.
"What about me?" Shippo walked in the doorway, hearing his name.
"Nothing, Have you seen Yumi or Yashou?" Kagome asked, before Inuyasha could say something.
"No, I was just going to ask you if you'd seen Akane. We can't find her either." Shippo shook his head.
"Three missing children?" Kagome asked
"Make that five." Koga said, walking up. "I heard your conversation, Masaru and Masaku are gone too. I can't pick up thier scents, or your kids' scents either."
"Mangy wolf, I bet this is your kids' fault!" Inuyasha growled
"It's probably your kid's fault, fleabag! I always thought she had a dark side to her!" Koga retorted
"How dare you!" Inuyasha barked, progressing towards him
"You're blame is pointless. They are all obviously together." Sesshomaru interrupted
"Don't involve yourself in stuff that isn't your business, Sesshomaru." Inuyasha glared
"Oh, but it is my business, Little Brother. Katsu is missing too." Sesshomaru said smugly.
"Where do you think they are?" Inuyasha interrogated.
"If I had any idea, I wouldn't be standing here, would I, Little Brother?" Sesshomaru griped.
"You don't think they've been kidnapped do you?" Kagome asked, worried.
"No. I smell no extra scents around." Inuyasha reassured her.
"I would say they are going off in search of this new 'Naraku'. He killed one of the kids' friends last week. However, they have no chance with their sealing necklaces on." Miroku said, being the last to join the group. (A/N referring to all the kids but Yashou, since he's all human.)
"I think I regret ever making those necklaces now." Kagome said sadly.
"They're fine, I bet you anything." Inuyasha said, taking Kagome's hand
"I know Katsu's strong and able enough to handle a little situation like this. Your kids will surely bring him down. He has to have abandoned them by now though." Sesshomaru said coldly as ever.
"What do we do now?" Songo asked.
Had to add the cliffy for now, I have to get off computer. Will be back on and another chapter should be added ASAP
