Miroku and Narou carried Inuyasha into the shrine and placed him on the sofa. The poor hanyou had fallen asleep in the car however he didn't find peace in his sleep as he tossed and moans from whatever nightmares tormented his mind. They all sat in the kitchen so that their talking would not disturb Inuyasha's sleep. Kagome was finding it hard to keep here tears in, as were Sango and Miroku. All found it absolutely heart breaking to find their proud friend is such a horrid state. "How long until he's better?" Miroku was the first to break the silence. "I fear it may be a while after seeing the state he is in."

"It's hard to say, but he will continue to suffer the side affects for at least two weeks. But I'm sure with the fresh air you have back in your era, and plenty of rest he'll be fine in no time." Narou tried to sound hopeful as he could see Inuyasha's friends in such a bad state.

"Well we'll take care of him, although I think its best if Inuyasha stays here in Kagome's time, and should Inuyasha need to hide they can jump into the well. After all as long as we have the shards it's not safe for him back home. You know what he's like, he'll insist on fighting demons as soon as he sees one." Sango reasoned and Kagome laughed slightly. It was true; Inuyasha would probably want to get back to normal with the shard hunting and all as soon as he can. But she wouldn't let him.

~~**~~

Inuyasha woke in the comfort of Kagome's home, he recognised the smell and surroundings straight away, and he sighed blissfully. So glad was he that it was not a delightful dream, he had actually escaped. He was free again. Going over past events in his mind he frowned. After all they had done to him, he had not paid them back yet, after all that. He at first, struggled to stand, but once up he was able to move about with as much agility as before, and with a smirk he left the room before anyone could even notice he was awake. It wouldn't take long, just a quick trip back there to pay some debts and straight back to the shrine. He laughed, he'd be back before they knew it, after-all how strong can these humans possibly be without all that equipment and drugs given to him while sealed inside that room.

It wasn't hard to forget the place where he was kept and so found it with speed and ease. Breaking in was an easy task, they had not predicted his arrival so soon and so had no time to place seals. He swept in like a thundering and vengeful wave. He didn't care as he let the madness take him, he wanted revenge. "No one treats Inuyasha the great hanyou like you did and lives. Die you sadistic bastards!" He almost squealed in delight as another man died at his hands. He recognised that man as one of the men that had held him down the night after the no moon. They all ran, all screaming, Inuyasha's felt his blood boil as the height of his excitement rose almost in pure ecstasy. Blood was splattered all over the place and sprayed like fountains as he'd swipe off a head or gouge off an arm. He felt the warm crimson liquid run from his lips and drip from his fangs.

It wasn't until a man stopped, unafraid that Inuyasha stopped for a moment's thought. This man looked so familiar and seemed to be able to stare right into Inuyasha's soul. He stopped. The unafraid human... no hanyou, was about the same height as Inuyasha and even though he appeared to have dark brown hair and eyes that image seemed to fade, revealing a young looking hanyou with short silvery white hair and amber gold eyes. A crescent shape tattooed on his head, he looked like Sesshomaru, but somehow Inuyasha knew it wasn't his brother. "Inuyasha stop! This massacre is not worthy of you." It defiantly wasn't his youkai brother, Inuyasha knew as soon as he heard the passion and emotion in the young man's voice. Inuyasha stopped, his knees buckled slightly as he looked at the carnage around him. His hands began to shake and his eyes were wide open with fear and realisation. He had only meant to hurt them, not kill!

"W-who are you?!" Inuyasha demanded.

"Uncle..." He began looking around; no one was there except them two. "You're my uncle, I am your nephew Sesshorin. I'm not allowed to talk to you but you had to stop." Sesshorin took a step forward, his disguise and spell had faded revealing the real man behind the mask so to speak.

"W-what? Sesshomaru had a son... that means Sesshomaru had sex? With a girl?" He looked truly shocked and his nephew laughed.

"Yes my mother is a woman, and no my dad did not have sex with her." This confused Inuyasha and Sesshorin just laughed even harder. "I'm joking. Now here, my dad said you'd be wanting this." In his hand he held the Tetsusaiga, and he held it out waiting for Inuyasha to collect it. As Inuyasha darted forward and firmly clung to it he looked at his Nephew.

"You know your father wants this sword?" Inuyasha asked, this all seemed too strange for him to get his head round!

"He did want it at one time, yes. But he no longer has need of it no longer. He also regrets never making a mends with you. He also apologises that he couldn't come and help you but he couldn't risk altering the future or something like that."

"Why didn't you say something earlier? While I was locked up in this place?"

"Narou told me not to, or rather he told none of us to talk to you. He didn't want any of us getting into trouble so I never told him we were related to you."

"What-?" Too many unanswered questions!

"Well Narou isn't really directly related to you, but he's part of our family now. He's my oldest brother's wife's brother."

"Oh." Inuyasha began to rub the temples on his head and growled slightly. He had a banging headache that was being stubborn and refused to leave. Suddenly there was the sound of loud sirens, they were fait but loud enough to irritate.

"You better go, the police are coming and you don't want to be caught again do you?" Inuyasha didn't know what to say. Of course he never wanted to be caught but he had so many answers still. He didn't want to leave, but he knew he had no other choice. "Go!" The prompted Inuyasha to move, taking one last look at the carnage before he ran from the building as fast as thought possible even by him.

Sesshorin watched him go and sighed, mixed feelings welled up inside him. Most of all he felt proud, proud and glad to finally had met his famous Uncle. "Go Inuyasha, go defeat Naraku, as it is your destiny and don't worry about Kagaku. He's mine, and I will deal with him." He directed this at Inuyasha although he was sure that the hanyou would not hear as he was probably long gone by now. But it felt right to say it somehow.

Inuyasha returned, shaking with a kind of regret and sorrow. He didn't want to /murder/ them, he wanted them to pay but the fight was not fair. They stood no chance against his youkai fury. He looked at his clawed hands and growl, they stank of their blood, and he longed to get rid of it. He stood by the God-tree in Kagome's shrine and looked up before jumping into its thick branches. Here he was sleep, and think about what had happened recently. So much information for hi to process was made even harder under the influenced of the drugs and anger. He growled again, hating the stench of blood more than ever before but he was too tired to move, despite his mind screaming at him to rid himself of that smell his body told him to stay. Sleep. Rest...Finally Inuyasha gave into the urge to sleep over the urge to wash and closed his eyes.

Narou had cursed himself for not noticing Inuyasha leaving before, as along with the others he frantically searched. Then all a sudden he got a call on his cellar phone and he answered. He was a little shocked to find out that it was Sesshorin that spoke, and again he was upset to hear of the havoc Inuyasha had wrought, but when he told Narou that Inuyasha was returning to the shrine Narou was grateful. Not long after he hung up did he spot the sleeping figure in the tree, outlines in darkness as the sun set in the background behind. He was going to wake the hanyou and bring him back inside for he looked comfortable there, more at home in a tree than he could possibly be in a house or a bed. "I wonder what it was like for a hanyou back in that day and age?" He mused out loud.

"It was not easy at all. He wasn't accepted by anyone, human or youkai. And after his mother and father died he was left alone for so long." He turned round to meet the owner of his voice. His senses most are growing weak or something, because he hadn't notice the tall woman walk up behind him. She wore an old-fashioned Miko's outfit, red and white while her long black hair was tied back with white ribbons. She looked a lot like Kagome; in fact he had mistaken her for the young Miko he already knew but this woman behind him looked older.

"Who are you?" He half demanded, though his voice was soft and questioning.

"Kikyou...The one that Inuyasha was 'hallucinating' about." This was followed by a full and rich laugh and Narou was left with the feeling of confusion. "I'm kind of a ghost from the past if that makes it easier for you to understand. I've come here for instructions for you. Now Inuyasha has got business of his own t deal with-"

"You mean Naraku?"

"Hai. But you and Sesshorin must defeat Kagaku otherwise the future will face a bleaker one than hell. Until Inuyasha is well take care of him and guard Kagome when she is in this world. It's a lot to ask but I trust you..." And with those words she faded into the breeze that carried the dry leaves of fall, forces to dance with a playful tug. Narou just stood there feeling more confused than ever before.

"Eh... So look after a pair of kids who jump into and out of time, and then kill my boss thus saving the future. And to think, not very long ago I was just another normal hanyou trying to get by in the world." He sighed and went back into the shrine, leaving Inuyasha sleeping in the tree. He'll tell the others about tall that had happened, and the whereabouts of their friend. Tomorrow they'll make some decisions, and hopefully get them all back home.
