I do not own

Itachi was the first to wake up and saw that they were at the inn and had no idea how they ended back here. He looked down at his beautiful mate who was trying to snuggle close to him to get warm and smiled. He lay back down and brought her closer to him. Burying his face into her hair and inhale her scent. He was normally an early person but after what happened last night he knew that she needed some rest. As he laid there he thought about the life he wanted for her and their adopted son. She was so perfect and caring that he knew that his mother would have loved her. Just thinking about his mother clenched his heart with guilt.

Then he started to think about what would have happened if that day never came to be. If there was another way. He would have brought Kagome home and introduce her to the family. His mom would have gushed over her and would be happy that he found someone. He knew his father would have approved because she was an Uchiha. Even though he wouldn't have cared what he thought. Maybe his brother wouldn't be in love with her and looked at her like a sister. Sadly he could only dream of it and was able to fall back to sleep with his mate in his arms.

Sasuke looked up at the sky with a glare as he remembered what Madara told him last night. Everything about the Uchiha clan and why that night happened. He forgave his brother but still hated him for taking Kagome away. He had to find a way to bring her back. But it seems that his plans for that will have to wait for now. He was brought out of his thought when he was called for a meeting with Madara and the others. He sat down at the head of the chair and waited for them to speak.

"You said you want to destroy Konoha, but how? What's your plan?" Madara asked

"The elders must die. The orders I basically don't care about either way." Sasuke shrugged

"If you aim high, the ones below will shield them. It's not going to be easy and you four Taka aren't strong enough alone." Kisame said

"Master Kisame…you shouldn't underestimate us. We haven't settled that game we started the other day. So let me show you my real…" Suigestsu said

"Stop it, Suigestsu." Jugo said, knowing what he was up to.

But it didn't matter Suigestsu still went to attack Kisame. Since he didn't have time for their childish act right now Madara stopped him.

"Sasuke, you lack control." Madara said "And you expect me to give you my blessing to court my daughter."

Sasuke glared

"Sasuke…what do you want to do?" Jugo asked

"Fine…do as you will Suigestsu. But know that you can't win against him yet." Sasuke said

That made Kisame smirked in amusement and Suigestsu to glare at him.

"We share common interests." Madara said "So…Taka shall coordinate and move with Akatsuki."

"And what's in it for us?" Sasuke asked

"We'll share the Beji with you." Madara said and then gritted his teeth at his next sentence. "And my daughter hand in marriage."

Sasuke smirked at that and Karin glared. Then Madara went on telling them about the Biju since they knew nothing about them.

"However, if you betray the Akatsuki, you'll have to die." He threatened

"There are nine Biju in total. So far we Akatsuki have collected seven of them. Just two remain." Kisame said

"We'll split them between us…that'll be our immediate goal." Madara said

"You don't have nine tails yet, huh." Sasuke said

"The Akatsuki shall hunt Naruto. Taka you take the other." Madara said

With Itachi out of the way they could finally attack Konoha.

Itachi woke up again from his sleep and saw that Kagome wasn't there. He would have panic if didn't hear her laughing outside. After putting on some sweat pants and but on a robe he went out to join her, Shippo and Kilala. He smiled as he saw Shippo playing with Kilala and Kagome was watching them. So he sat down behind her and wrapped his arms around her to bring her close to his chest. She smiled as he started to purr when he nuzzle his nose against the mating mark he gave her.

"I would have thought you wouldn't be able to walk after last night." He smirked in a whisper so Shippo wouldn't hear.

"Healing abilities comes in handy it seems." She smirked and lean against him with her eyes close. "This feels…nice."

"It could be like this forever. I can build a home for us somewhere in the mountains where we could roam free, where no one will bother us." He said "We could make our own family where Shippo could have brothers and sisters."

"That sounds nice…but…what about the Leaf Village?" She said and turned her head to look at him. "My father is still looking for Kurama. And both he and Naruto are my friends. He would try and destroy the village to get him and I won't let that happen. They are our friends and that is our home. We can't turn back from it."

"I understand my love. If you want, we will go back and save them." He said and kissed her forehead. "But first…I believe we have to train these demon sides of ours. We get them under control and we might have a chance in defeating your father."

Kagome hummed at the thought and she had an idea. After breakfast and getting dress Kagome took them to the well. There was only one person she knew that could help them with their situation. Placing a hand on the well it started to glow. She took Shippo in one arm and Kilala jumped on her shoulder, Kagome turned to her mate.

"Do you trust me?" She asked and held out her hand

He took it without a second thought.

"With my life." He said

They climbed on the lips of the well and jumped down. The blue glow surrounded them till they landed at the bottom of the well. Itachi picked her up bridal style and jumped out of the well.

"Lady Kagome, Shippo, Kilala, you're back." A little girl voice said

After Itachi placed his mate down a little girl around 12 years old ran over to Kagome and hugged her.

"I was so worried that you were gone forever." The girl cried

"It's okay Rin. It's okay." Kagome said, calming the girl down

When he sensed a really strong present coming towards them he quickly stood in front of his family and unleashed his Sharingan.

"Itachi, it's okay. He won't hurt us." Kagome smiled

She walked around him and saw the powerful dog demon lord.

"Hello Lord Sesshomaru, I'm back." She said

"Miko." Sesshomaru nodded "You are different now. You and this man have the same scent."

"Yes I am. And that's why I've return. I need your help." She said
