Chapter: 9 "Return of their enemy, the technique stealer returns!"

Kagome and InuYasha Jr. let out an earsplitting scream causing both of their parents to jump and run to their children. Kagome looked at her children wide eyed, while InuYasha explained to them what was going on. Their children where half human, half demon, so they were now full human. Apparently, they changed every FULL moon, not new moon like their father. Kagome giggle at her children's horrified look. InuYasha Jr. was upset that his hair was black, while little Kagome was upset that she had no superhuman strength or claws what so ever. "H…How long will this last daddy?" little Kagome said patting her head only to find that her dog ears weren't there. InuYasha looked at me I gave him a sly smile to say 'You are the one who is to tell them dog boy' He growled then he smirked, I looked at him nervously. "It will last FOREVER!" He said. They screamed their heads off, screaming led to crying and they cried on their mother Of course she sighed. InuYasha leaned on the wall smiling like an idiot. "I am so going to get you!" She yelled, her eyes sparked, her miko powers were reacting to her anger. He flinched and took a step back. I guess this isn't so bad. Kagome said to herself as she embraced and cuddled her young ones.

"Come out, I would like to see you." A voice sounded. A demon came out looking at his surroundings. "Naraku…" He said bitterly. Naraku chuckled. "I will kill you!" He yelled. The demon jumped and his face squared up with Naraku's in an instant. He looked at Koga, and Koga nodded. The wolf demon took out the Goraishi. The demon laughed. "Do you actually think a claw is going to hurt me?" He said aloud. Koga sat there emotionless and came closer. "All I have to do is activate my shield!" The demon closed his eyes and waited. A few minutes later her opened his eyes to see Koga standing over him, he jumped out of the way. "M-MY shield! Where is my beautiful shield? And my spears?" Naraku chuckled. "I brought you back to life with a purpose, and I knew you wouldn't listen to me if you had your affects." Naraku pause and looked up at the demon. "Now, if you follow my commands you will get everything you once had and more, I will even bring back a certain someone for you." The demon looked up at Naraku to see his red eyes looking at him square in the eyes. "Yes master Naraku." He said. Naraku smirked, "Be gone Moryomaru, and take the Saimyosho with you." The demon nodded and took off with the insects. Naraku chuckled, "Manipulating people is so easy."

"Okay, now pull the bow string with the arrow." Kagome said. Both children obediently pulled it back. "Now…LET GO!" She screamed, while hurting InuYasha's dog ears as well as her children's. They both let go. The arrows glowed for a second then the glow vanished halfway to the target, by the time the arrows got to their destinations they were a few inches away from the bull's eye. "Aww man!" InuYasha Jr. whined. Kagome chuckled. Little Kagome patted her bother on the back when she instantly heard something. She cautiously sniffed the area. It was strange, she never smelled this scent before but it had a dark aura around whatever it was. Kagome looked at her daughter quizzically she then felt the presence of a dark aura. She quickly grabbed her bow, put an arrow on it, and drew back the string. InuYasha Jr. looked at her mother in awe, completely unaware that something was watching them. The bushes rumbled and suddenly out pop a man. Kagome tilted her head slightly. InuYasha looked at his mate and then at the man and wondered why she was pointing an arrow at him. The man looked frightened but something told her to keep the arrow pointed at him. Something's not right here She thought. "Kagome!" InuYasha screeched. He ran up to the man. "InuYasha! Don't touch-"InuYasha was already talking to the man, completely ignoring her. InuYasha told the man how his mate it a little loopy in the head. That made Kagome's blood boil, she was so mad that her miko powers stated sparking. The man pulled out his hand to say 'no hard feelings', InuYasha almost touched his hand when a purification arrow shot past barely hitting both InuYasha and the man's hand. InuYasha glared at Kagome. Kagome looked at him wide-eyed. She was trying to help him! How dare her glare at her. InuYasha felt Kagome's spiritual power rise until it was intoxicating, he really didn't care, how dare she raise an arrow at a poor stranger! He shook the man's hand with a tight firm handshake. He noticed after he shook his hand, there was the smell of blood; he lifted up his hand only to see something had stung him. What the… His thoughts were short lived when he saw an arrow hit the man. His eyes widened in horror as the man disbanded into Saimyosho. The insects floated in the air and disappeared. "What the He-" InuYasha was cut off by someone hitting him he looked up to see his mate standing in front of him, her usually gentle blue eyes now looked as cold as the arctic ice. "InuYasha, why won't you listen to me?" She yelled. "It's not like I've seen and smelled Naraku's insects in a while!" He shouted back. Uncertainty flashed in InuYasha's golden eyes, he didn't know the man was Naraku's stupid insects, right? Kagome looked in his eyes and growled. He sighed; it was going to be a looooonnnngggg day.

"Lord! I have brought it!" Moryomaru sounded. Naraku groaned, he was actually enjoying the peace until HE showed up. "Excellent." He placed the stinger in Naraku's hands. The insects made a circle around the stinger as if they were mourning. "Now, I want my end of the deal." He said. Naraku nodded and put his hand on his chest where his heart should have been. "I want Hakudoshi back, and bring back Moryomaru's shield." His chest let out an intense light and out of nowhere Hakudoshi was on the ground, and his armor was in him. "Master." The demon said as her tried to shake the small demon child awake. He opened his eyes and soon he saw his purple eyes connect with his. Hakudoshi looked around only to see Naraku. "You...You brought me back…even though I betrayed you…" He paused and looked up at Naraku. "I am forever in your debt" He said. Naraku smiled, liking where this was going. "No need for apologies, I brought you back for a purpose, and you are to only serve your purpose, ok?" Hakudoshi shook his head, "Thank you master Naraku." "You're here!" A voice sounded. Hakudoshi looked around only to see Moryomaru, bowing in front of him. "Moryomaru…" Hakudoshi started. "Oh, and I have yet another present." Naraku said. He put his hand on his abnormally glowing heart and muttered a few words, after that and horse popped up, but not just and horse… "Entei..." Another glow stopped Hakudoshi from talking, and in his hands was the Naginata (The weapon he stole from a random pig demon, or in the anime, he stole it from Rengokuki) "Now that you have received your gifts, here's what's going to happen…."

"Hiraikotsu!" Zichi screamed. A giant boomerang few past and sliced at full grown tree down. The boomerang then whirled back to its owner who caught it without stumbling. Sango came over to praise the girl who blushed in embarrassment. Karna impatiently waited for her sister to give her the large weapon so that she could practice, but as their mother kept praising her to do what she did once before, she gave up and walked to the market place. Kirara walked with her unnoticed until a mew came out of the small neko, Karna jumped and then sighed in relief as she saw that it was only Kirara. "Come on Kirara; let's go see what little Kagome is going!" She said. Kirara mewed in protest; it's not that she doesn't like the half dog female; it's just that every time I got to see her she wants to pet her all day like her mother! Karna picked up the feline while it was deep in thought. When they got to their hut she heard the sound of clashing swords and arrows being shot. The loud noise eventually brought Kirara out of her thoughts. Karna watched as InuYasha Jr. and his father where in an intense battle. InuYasha used the Wind scar on his father who jumped just in time not to be hit. The energy from the sword hit a boulder and cracked it. "That was better." InuYasha said, firing a Wind scar at his son. InuYasha Jr. concentrated intently on making his energy to the sword. Wind started to some around the sword causing Kirara's fur to ruffle up, the demonic energy was intoxicating. InuYasha's Wind scar hit his son's sword only to see that he hasn't been killed by it (Not that he wanted his son to die). Instead he got something else, "Back lash wave!" InuYasha Jr. screamed reversing the energy to his father. InuYasha laughed, his son never ceases to surprise him. He made his Tessaiga turn into the dragon scaled Tessaiga, bracing for the attack. Karna looked left to see aunt Kagome and her daughter. The two were shooting arrows, much more peaceful than InuYasha's fight, but a lot duller. She sighed and almost looked away, but something caught her eye and she looked back to see that two sparring. This could be interesting. She thought to herself. Kagome looked professional with the way she was standing and how she was holding her bow and arrow, while little Kagome was slightly slumping and didn't look as focused as her mother. "Focus Kagome!" Kagome shouted. (Now keep in mind that she is talking to her daughter.) Little Kagome's thoughts scattered as her mother called her out. A few minutes past and neither was making a single move. A leaf gradually floated to the ground, taking it's time. When it hit the ground Kagome's eyes snapped open to reveal her deep blue eyes. They both fired their arrows. Kagome's arrow was glowing a deep purple, it was so strong, that even Karna, who was a human could feel its purity. Kirara struggled to get out of Karan's arms, she felt uncomfortable feeling the pure arrow, once she got down, she ran as fast as she could. Kagome and little Kagome's arrow collided, but Kagome's arrow easily destroyed it and headed for her daughter. Fear was all little Kagome felt the fear go down to her legs and it made her lock them tight. When she felt her mother's arrow, she closed her eyes, but something inside her snapped. A few minutes later she opened her eyes to see that arrow right in front of her. Her mother's hand was grasping the arrow, but her hand was burned. She looked at her mother's hand in confusion, why was her hand burned? "I see…" Kagome said. She smiled, little Kagome knew she was in pain, but she smiled anyways. "When my arrow almost hit you, your miko powers reacted, in this case, you tried to burn it, but as you see the arrow is perfectly intact." she looked down at the arrow to see that her mother wasn't lying, the arrow looked as clean as it did before she shot it. "This only proves we need to work on your miko abilities…." She tailed off and looked at InuYasha fighting InuYasha Jr. "Do you want to fight your father?" She asked. She got excited, and nodded. "InuYasha, your daughter wants to fight you!" Kagome yelled. InuYasha and InuYasha Jr's swords clashed. "Alright, but in a minute." She managed to say. "No, I mean now!" She shouted. "I said in a minute!" He said warily. A now agitated Kagome picked up her bow, loaded it with an arrow and shot the half demon. "AAGGGG!" InuYasha screamed, while trying to glare daggers at her. She raised an eyebrow as if she didn't care. "Now go!" She said. InuYasha nodded while holding the place where he got shot. Kagome sighed, why did my husband have to be so difficult? She started to walk towards her husband when she felt something. She stopped to feel the aura, was it good or bad? Whatever it was it was making her miko senses go haywire, this not particularly a good sign. She looked up to see a blazing horse with a child with purple eyes and white hair. "H…H…HAKUDOSHI!" She screamed in horror remembering who he was. "Moryomaru, come." Hakudoshi called. A demon with a shell and InuYasha's adamant barrage spears came out of nowhere. InuYasha deeply growled at the demon, how dare he steal his adamant spears? Kagome looked at her mate, and walked toward him and hugged him, when he felt the embrace, he calmed down. "Catch us if you can InuYasha." He said while signaling Entei to go. InuYasha watched them. "Kirara!" InuYasha called/yelled. The neko came at his request. "InuYasha!" Sango yelled. "I'm coming with you." InuYasha looked at the female demon slayer. "There is no way in the underworld a, I going to let you go, you might get hurt!" He snarled, but the malice in his snarl wasn't towards her. "Fine…Kagome!" The miko looked up to see who was calling her. "Yes?" she answered. "Come on…We have to go after them." He said calmly. Kagome turned back to the children. "I want all of you to STAY PUT. Mommy and daddy will be back soon you two." She stopped and looked at Sango's children. "The same to you too, no fighting until we return. Your daddy will look after all four of you." She kissed her children and pulled Sango's children into a bear hug. "Wait a second Kagome! You mean I have to stay?" Miroku asked. She gave the monk the most apologetic look she could manage. "Yes ya' letch! Now Kagome come on!" Came InuYasha's irritated voice. "And plus, Kirara can only hold three people, and that's not counting Shippo." Sango put in. "We also need someone to look after the children." Miroku thought about it and nodded. "I suppose your right, my dear Sango." He said with a twinge of sadness in his voice. Sango opened her mouth to comfort her husband until InuYasha sighed loud enough for us all to hear. Kagome quickly got on Kirara. "Let's go Kirara!" InuYasha ordered. The neko flew high in the sky and we quickly found both Hakudoshi and Entei. "Look Moryomaru, the half-breed actually followed us, and here I thought that his human side made him go soft." Hakudoshi called out as Moryomaru appeared. InuYasha growled, "Shut up you stupid little brat! I see you still have that shell with you, who knew you sent other people to do your dirty work?" Moryomaru gritted his teeth at the comment. "Now, now InuYasha, my 'shell' here is an important role in Naraku's plan, why would you think he brought him back? Hm?" Hakudoshi said evilly. InuYasha's eyes widened in shock. So that's why he brought them back to life! To keep his heart safe! InuYasha laughed so hard that it earned him questionable glances from Sango and Kagome. "Naraku really is dumb isn't he?" He managed said. Hakudoshi grinned, knowing what the hanyo was thinking. "That he is…But…You won't be able to test your theory if you can't get to me." After finishing the sentence, he disappeared and reappeared farther away. InuYasha stopped laughing and told Kirara to follow him.

Kirara was panting heavily; she was tired, holding a half demon, a miko, and her master. She tried to show she was tried by slowing down, but he forced her to go on. Why couldn't the hanyo get it through his thick skull that she couldn't catch the horse even if there weren't three people on her back? The only thing that was keeping her going was the hanyo's orders and the horses tail swaying back n' forth, mocking her and the demon horse's looks as it sped up and slowed down telling me how slow she was going. Suddenly the horse disappeared, but the strange thing was, it didn't come back. Kirara stopped, using her senses to locate the blazing demon. The neko instantly looking to her right to see the horse. Pain shot through the cat demon as the master of the horse stabbed her with the weapon it has in its hand. With an ear splitting cry of pain, Kirara plunged out of the sky and onto the ground with a bone-jarring thud. The world grew dark and the last image she saw was everyone that was riding her on the ground groaning from the pain.

"We have to come up with a plan!" Karna hissed and her older sister, but she was only older by one day, two hours, and forty five minutes, but who was counting? The older sibling looked at her sister. "Aunt Kagome told us to in quote 'STAY PUT!' in case you are hard of hearing." She said sternly. "But what if they are in trouble!? We could help them fight!" Karna protested. "Sorry Zichi, but I have to go with your sister…As much as you want to believe that they don't need help, I think they do." InuYasha Jr. put in. "I agree with my brother…" Little Kagome said. Zichi looked at them as if they grew another head. "I'm going to have to agree with them, Zichi." An unexpected voice sounded. Everyone turned around to see Miroku. "Dad?" Zichi said unbelievably. "Now does anyone actually have a plan?" He said. Everyone exchanged glances. An Idea suddenly popped into Karna's head. "Actually... I have an Idea…" She whispered, loud enough for everyone to hear. They all gathered around the child to hear it.

"InuYasha…InuYasha!" A voice said. He opened his eyes to see Kagome. "Kagome?" He said. The smell of blood seeped into his nose, making him snap his eyes open and sit up. He watched in horror as he saw Kirara, Sango and Kagome in a pool of blood. He then examined himself to see that he wasn't hurt. "How…?" He started but Kagome cut him off. "I healed you w-wounds…" She said. "N-now g-go k-kill Hakudoshi!" She managed to say. InuYasha looked up to see Hakudoshi with Entei and Moryomaru. "Look, it's the half-breed! The girl limped over to you after the fall since you injuries where the second worst, who knew she would of used all of her power just to save a lowly hanyo!?" Hakudoshi laughed. InuYasha looked at the limp miko; did she really use all of her power trying to save him? The very thought of it filled him up with guilt. "No need to feel guilty, she will die a slow, painful death knowing she protected the person she loved, and trusted, but it will all be pointless when you suffered the same fate." He said. Guilt turned into rage as he grasped to Tessaiga, pulling out the rusty blade only for it to turn into a fang like sword. Hakudoshi smirked. "It is time for me to go Moryomaru." He said. Moryomaru nodded as Hakudoshi mounted the demon horse. "It's been fun seeing you half-breed, but I really must cut our time short." He said as he disappeared. "Get back here I'm not done with you stupid little brat!" InuYasha Yelled. "Quiet you rambling Half-breed! " Moryomaru said, putting venom on half-breed. "Alright you stupid shell, let me do some target practice on you instead of that underworld spawn monster!" InuYasha retaliated. "Fine, let's begin!"

InuYasha's Tessaiga quickly turned into the Meido Zangetsuha. "Come at me shell! So I can send you back to where you came from: Hell!" (A.W.W. Sorry about the swearing, I thought I would emphasize the word by swearing, if you have any concerns, please contact me!) "Now this is interesting InuYasha! You plan to send me to the exact place where the devil himself spat me right out of!?" Moryomaru chuckled. InuYasha growled. "MEIDO ZANGETSUHA!" He screamed, causing a hole in the atmosphere leading to the underworld. Moryomaru quickly got out of the way. He laughed. "Now that you are done playing your little half-breed games, it is, unfortunately for you, my turn." He said as he grinned evilly. Moryomaru made the adamant spears overpower his shell that he is wearing, making him look entirely made of adamant spears. He then charged at the InuYasha. While Moryomaru was charging towards him, he mapped out a plan, and just when Moryomaru was about to hit him he jumped. An adamant stained fist collided with the hanyo's face, but he didn't fall back. Moryomaru punched him like he was a punching bag, but he still wouldn't fall over. Moryomaru stopped punching InuYasha. "Stupid hanyo, if you look down you will see that I have trapped your feet on the ground so that you can't move!" He said. InuYasha looked down at his feet to find them covered in adamant. "Since you are going easy on me, I will try a different approach to get you to fight me to the death." He paused and looked at Kagome's body. He gave him a death glare as to say 'Don't you dare touch her!' and he raised his eye brow to say he didn't care. He walked over to the miko and placed two fingers on her neck. Rage was all InuYasha could feel, he thrashed and punched and tried to break the adamant on his feet to pound Moryomaru for touching his mate. "Oh…she is still alive, how fortunate." He said evilly. He began to feel around her body to find her most wounded spot, once found he stood to face InuYasha. "Watch InuYasha, for this day you will always remember...The day your mate dies." He said darkly. InuYasha looked at Moryomaru with horrified eyes. Moryomaru lifted his leg and kicked the limp miko. Pain surged through Kagome as the demon kicked her in her ribs, her already broken ribs. After the pain, she started crying, but soon after another aimed kick made another ear-splitting scream come from her. When one more kick was heard, InuYasha heard a loud snapping sound. Rage was now pouring out of his body, literally. His aura was giving off a full demon warning. Moryomaru laughed. "It took one little ningen to set you off? How intriguing!" He said. With one slash of his claws, the adamant on his feet cracked and gave way. In a blink of an eye the two disappeared into a battle between two great auras.

"Do you really think this will work?" Zichi asked her younger sister. "It has to." She responded. The plan was all straightened out. InuYasha Jr. and little Kagome's sword's have enough power to kill a thousand demon, that also being said, if you position it right, and fire the right amount of energy you can fly into the air, like one of those things called rockets that aunt Kagome taught us about. Since there are only two swords, only two people on each, so, we asked Rin if we could borrow AhUn for Miroku to ride. "Wait, why couldn't we just ride AhUn?" Zichi protested. "Because, Zichi, AhUn is just like Kirara, she can only hold so many people, and plus you need two people on the swords to balance the weight out." She explained. Zichi sighed and said no more. "We ready everyone?" InuYasha Jr. and little Kagome said simultaneously. We all nodded. The brother and sister position their swords like magic broomsticks that a witch might have. I got on with Kagome, while Zichi got on with InuYasha Jr. and Miroku got on AhUn. "GO." I yelled, hurting both hanyo's ears. "WIND SCAR!" They shouted and a gust of wind brought us up to the sky, while Miroku followed. "Which way?" little Kagome asked her brother. He sniffed and his ears perked up. "Over there!" He said. The siblings positioned the swords to go to the place InuYasha Jr. pointed out. They soon landed and a cliff and not a second later Miroku landed. They walked north until blood hit both hanyo's noses. A second later they saw bodies. Reality hit them as they pinpointed whose bodies they were. InuYasha, Kagome, Kirara, and Sango where laying there motionless.

====Author's Note====

Hello! It took such a LOOOOONG time making this one with my new record of words being 4,200! It also took 20 pages! Sorry if I was late bringing it in, also, check out my new fanfic: Naraku's tale! I also want to tell IDON'T OWN INUYASHA NOR DO I MAKE A PROFIT FROM SUCH AMAZING CHARACTERS, I would love to continue the series, but that's not my decision. I want to apologize for my vulgar language in this fanfic, if I have offended anyone please call me out; I'm not the one to cuss on a daily basis. Oh yeah and I left the story at a cliff hanger for many reasons.

I was getting tired of writing, and I know you where getting tired of waiting.

I have neglected my rights of a writer, and I will try not to procrastinate any longer.

I don't want the story to go too fast, I want you to draw it in and think 'what would happen next' isn't that the goal you want to reach when you put out a cliff hanger?

And lastly because I want to :3

See Ya!
