Chapter 10: Kikyko's Purity Stolen Part 1

As we sat at the table eating, I watched as Kikyko shoved food in her mouth. I sighed deeply and passed her a napkin.

"Where did I go wrong with you?" I said to her. She looked at me holding her chops sticks to her mouth. InuYasha looked at Kikyko and shook his head as well.

"When did you get so messy?" he said as well.

"I'm hungry," she mumbled holding the bowl to her mouth.

Miroku held Sango's hand at the table and looked at Kikyko's messy eating habit.

"She was like this younger as well, I always thought she'd grow out of it, guess not…" Sango teased her.

"So how do we go about this?" Miroku asked as he as well handed Kikyko a napkin, she took it and wiped her mouth then put it on the table. I sighed again.

"First things first, we find Inuko… then figure this out, see what he knows and go from there," InuYasha said crossing his arms.

"Really what did we do wrong with this one…" he said putting his hand on Kikyko's head. She bent over the table and took a sushi roll between her shop sticks and shoved it into her mouth.

I sighed again and shook my head as she devoured half of the sushi plate.


"Inuko?" Hakura said to him as she brushed her hair. She put the brush down on the bedside table.

"Yes?" he said to her as he took off his shirt. He came over to the bed and slid in next to Hakura.

"Why didn't you bring Kikyko back with you when you saw her at the carnival?" she said fixing the blanket around her. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her to him.

"I couldn't she needs mom and dad, if she found out that she was the cause behind all of this… it would devastate her," he said to Hakura. She looked at him.

"Inuko, Kikyko is too pure for that, she didn't cause this…" she said to him.

"She did Hakura, we saw it happen… the demon came at her, and her own spiritual power sent us here," he said again. He touched Hakura's bangs and parted them with his hand, he leaned forward and kissed her.

"Hakura, when we find your parents…. I want to ask your father in your hand in marriage," he said to her. She shifted away from him and looked at him.

"Are you asking me to marry you?" she said surprised.

Kira, Koji and Yuki her siblings where outside their bedroom door listening.

"Say yes Haku…" Kira said in almost a whisper. Kira was Hakura's twin sister. Hakura had long brown hair and brown eyes and looked so much more like Sango then Kira did, Kira had short brown hair and brown eyes and had a slight roundness to her face, the twins where both 21 years of age two years older then Inuko.. Koji and Yuki were three years apart and both so adorable. Koji had his hair almost as long as his fathers and his hair was always slicked back. Yuki… boy is he a womanizer.

"Dad's going to be so mad if he finds out they're sleeping together," Koji said to his sister and brother. Kira put her hands over his ears and pulled him away from the door. Yuki chuckled under his breath.

"Yes, I'm asking you to marry me," he said to her.

"Are you being serious or is this a joke?" she said nervous.

"I'm being serious, I wanted to for a long time… I just never had the courage to ask you, also your father did say that he'd kill anyone who married his daughters, sooo…." Inuko said to her. She laughed.

"My father says that to everyone," she laughed again.

"Well?" he said waiting for her answer.

"Well… yes," she said. He pulled her to him and hugged her.

"YAY!" Kira, shouted.

"KIRA I CAN HEAR YOU THREE AT THE DOOR," Inuko hissed at him. His ears heard everything, no surprise on that part, Hakura got out of bed and came to the door.

"KIRA…." She shouted opening the door. All three of them ran. Hakura ran after them.


"Here, I'll put her to bed.." InuYasha said as Kikyko slept on the couch. I sighed and rubbed her head.

"I think I need to teach her manners again," I said as InuYasha picked her up. I followed him as he took her to the bedroom. InuYasha brought her to the bed and put her down. I lifted the blanket over her.

"She's so cute when she's asleep," he said kissing her head.

"Yeah then she's awake…" I said kissing her as well. I turned off the lamp on the table. InuYasha closed the bedroom window and locked it. He always did this even at home, his protective nature always made him worry.

He took my hand as he followed me out the room. I closed the door carefully.

"So," he said looking at me as I walked down the hallway.

"How is your butt so…. You know, so…" he said gesturing with his hands. I turned around and crossed my arms.

"My butt is what?" I said to him. He looked at me and smirked.

"Its so round and... perky," he said again.

"Are you working out or something?" he asked turning me around.

"Working out? What is with you…" I said and shook my head.

Before I could turn around to the living room he grabbed me and pulled me against the wall.

"Woah what is with you?" I said to him. He slapped my butt.

"Nothing just wanted to make sure," he said and chuckled.

"Make sure what… InuYasha?" I hissed at him as he pulled me to him.

"You know, wanted to make sure it wasn't fake," he said teasing me.

"I should seriously hit you right now…" I said crossing my arms. He leaned in and kissed me. I pushed him away.

"Stop that you stupid dog, why the hell did I marry you… my fault for coming back through that well again," I said to him ranting, I crossed my arms and hit him in the shoulder.

"Hey come on now…" he said throwing his hands in the air. I walked away from him back to the living room. He followed me.

That evening all four of us spent it talking, remembering stories, and mostly laughing at our stupid kids.

"I swear Inuko and Kikyko got in to so much trouble I think the entire village knew it…" Sango said laughing.

"Don't get me started, when Kikyko thought it was okay to steal her brothers haori and us it as a kite," I sighed and shook my head.

"Wow, I remember that… Inuko lost it on her so bad," Miroku said to us. InuYasha laughed and shook his head.

"Hakura and Inuko used to sneak out at night to the tree house just to make out," InuYasha said to all of us. Sango spit out her drink.

"What the heck InuYasha, why didn't you tell us this?" Miroku said shouting at him.

"HAHAHHA, BECAUSE WEREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO SAID YOU'D KILL ANY MAN WHO COMES NEAR YOUR DAUGHTERS," InuYasha laughed.

"Hell yes I would, she's only 21 and your son is 19…" Miroku said angry.

"Oh come on its not like we didn't know they were dating, they've been together since they were kids," InuYasha said to him. Sango and I both burst out laughing.

"He's your son, you should teach him to be a better man and respect women," Miroku hissed at InuYasha.

InuYasha looked at him for a moment then laughed.

"Really, have you meet Inuko... I tell him to do something he's going to do the opposite, girls are way easier," he said and laughed.


"Wow," I said brushing my hair.

"What's with you?" InuYasha said taking off his shirt. I hadn't noticed it before, but he looked so much more built. I came around the bed towards him and touched his chest.

"What?" he said eyeing me down.

"I never noticed how… built you were, so… are you working out?" I teased him.

"Yup!" He said and grabbed me.

"Wow, I like it…" I said running my hands over his arms.

"Good," he said and pushed me against the bed.

"Great, your in heat…" I narrowed my eyes to him.

"No, I just can't help myself when I'm around you…" he said and bent over me kissing me.

"Oh come on," I said and playfully pushed him away. He chuckled and ran his hands against my neck.

"InuYasha," I said to him. He looked at me.

"Yes?" he said looking at me. His lips kissed the side of my face. I sat up and looked at him.

"Do… you want to stay here?" I asked him. He slid off the bed and went over to the dresser to grab pants.

"Why do you?" he asked me changing.

"I've always wanted us to live in a home like this," I said shifting to my knees. I stretched my arms and looked at him as he came back towards me.

"I've always wanted to provide for you and the kids and give you this as well, give them everything they've wanted…. Going to the movies, buying clothes, school..." he said to me. His hands touched my face and he softly kissed me.

"This isn't our home, I know its just…. An alternate reality, I mean even my own parents don't know you, or the kids… and even if we stayed, you and I are college students. Our children call us mom and dad, how would that look like… I'm a 32 year old women, and I have children…. But here, I'm not…" I said to him. He pressed his lips to my face.

"I know… when we find Inuko and figure this out, then… we can decide," he said to me.

"I'd be happy anywhere InuYasha, our home… with our friends and family, our loud and crazy daughter, our son who's kind and caring, and our baby.." I said touching my stomach. He looked at me.

"Wait wait what?" he said pulling me away from him.

"Our what?" he asked looking at me.

I reached over to the bedside table and opened the drawer. I pulled out a pregnancy test and held it up to him.

"Are you serious… Kagome really?" he said looking at it.

I nodded and tears formed in my eyes.

"Oh my god, I can't believe this…" he said hugging me. He kissed me.

His hands touched my stomach.

"I can't believe this…. Is it a little boy, or a girl… its another girl isn't it," he said kissing my stomach.

"I don't know yet," I said and laughed.

"This is great… I can't believe this," he said kissing me again. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.

"If we have another stupid boy I swear…." He started to say, I kissed him and laughed.


"Mmmm…" Kikyko said rolling over in bed. A hand touched her mouth, she opened her eyes panicked.

"Mmm," she mumbled.

"Shut up!" a man said to her. He was leaning on top of her. Her hands pushed him away from her.

"If you scream I'll kill you," he said holding a knife to her throat.

"Mmmmmm," she mumbled trying to push this man away.

"Listen carefully you're going to tell me where Tetsusaiga and the Tensaiga's sheaths are," he said pressing his lips against her cheek. She lifted her hand and hit him.

"Oh so that's how you want play huh," he said and grabbed her hand.

"You know where they are don't you, and you know me… who I am, the man in the village…. Nakemaru." He said to her in a whisper. She tried to fight him off her.

"You can keep resisting all you want Kikyko, you will be mine, and I will kill you…" he said to her. He moved his hand from her mouth. But before she could scream he kissed her.

"Mmm mm," she mumbled pushing him away he held the knife to her throat.

"Scream stupid girl, I dare you," he said, he slid the knife down her shirt and cut her buttons, going all the way down her shirt.

"No nooo," she said pushing his hand away. He grabbed her hand and pulled it away.

"Hold still, I don't want to cut that body of yours," he said and kissed her again. His hand held the knife to her throat, his other hand trailed down her body.

"Mmmm," tears formed in her eyes, she pushed his hand away as he forcefully slid it down to her stomach.

He pressed the tip of the knife to her throat.

"If your going to kill me then kill me," she stuttered crying. He slid his hand down her pants and held the knife closer to her skin.

"AAAAAAHHH, NOOO," she screamed she pushed his hand away from her, he slid it further down her pants, and put his hand over her mouth.

"STUPID LITTLE…. I'M GOING TO END YOUR SCREAMS," he said lifting the knife over his head.

"GET THE HELL OFF OF HER," InuYasha's voice rumbled. He grabbed his hand and pulled him off of Kikyko slamming him against the wall.

"Kiki," I shouted. She held her hands to her face and cried.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER," InuYasha shouted at him. Miroku and Sango came through the door panicked.

"What the hell?" Miroku said. He came around the bed to InuYasha.

"Kikyko come here," Sango said to her. She sat up and held her hand to her shirt closing it, her eyes where filled with tears. I reached my hand out to her and grabbed her bringing her to me.

"Are you okay? Did he touch you?" I said to her looking her over.

Sango touched Kikyko's head as we pulled her out of the room.

"Who are you, how did you get in here?" Miroku said holding a hand to InuYasha restraining him.

"Hahahha, I'm surprised … you didn't recognize me InuYasha, I was the man who chased her…. When you found her in your back yard with no memories, I see your memories returned." Nakemaru said to him.

"DID YOU TOUCH HER?" InuYasha's voice rumbled.

"Don't kill him InuYasha, in this world, we'd go to prison…." Miroku said to him.

"Don't worry I just wanted to make sure she was still pure…" he said to InuYasha. InuYasha's hand wrapped around his neck tighter, Nakemaru didn't flinch.

"Prison… I don't give a shit if I go to prison," InuYasha said a rumble filled his words.

"If you kill me InuYasha, you'll never get home… and your precious family will be stuck here forever, day by day losing a piece of who they are," the man said. His voice cracked and rumbled.

"InuYasha, don't…. release him," Miroku said to him.

InuYasha grunted and released his hand from around his neck.

"Don't you ever come near her again, and if you are the key to us getting home, I'll see you in hell…" he said to him. Miroku restrained InuYasha and held him back away from Nakemaru. Nakemaru laughed and pushed the knife back to his belt.

"She has something I need… I tend to get it," he said and turned to the window. He laughed and jumped out of it.

"Stop crying, please Kiki talk to me…" I said to her in the bathroom.

She was crying hysterically and wouldn't even speak to me.

"Please Kikyko, calm down…. You can talk to us you know that," Sango said rubbing her arms. I looked at Sango.

"I don't know what to do…" I said to her.

"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE," Kikyko shouted she held her hands to her face crying. I looked at her ripped shirt and a surge of anger hit me. I wanted to kill him, I wanted InuYasha to kill him, I hoped he did.

"JUST GO AWAY," Kikyko shouted at us again. Sango touched her arms and hugged her. I leaned in and hugged her as well.

"Kiki please don't push us away…" I said to her.

"He…. He slid his hand down my pants and… and…" she mumbled crying.

"WHAT… he did what?" I cried looking at her.

Sango held her hand to her mouth and looked at Kikyko.

"I feel so dirty, I want a bath…" Kikyko stuttered her words through tears.

We heard InuYasha knock at the door.

"Hey, is she okay?" he said through the door.

I stood up and came to the door. I opened it and looked at him, I slid out the door and closed it behind me. Kikyko was still crying and Sango was trying to calm her down.

"Kagome?" InuYasha said worried.

"You didn't kill him? You let him go?" I said looking around her room.

"Kagome, calm down… we can't kill him, it'll end bad for all of us if we did," Miroku said to me.

"THE STUPID BASTARD TOUCHED HER," I shouted at him.

I saw InuYasha clench his hands into fists.

"Calm down Kagome, we'll help her get through this," Miroku said to me. I held my hands to my face and cried. "YOU… YOU… should've killed him," I mumbled crying.


"Uh, uh… I feel so dirty," Kikyko said in the shower. Sango was with her holding the shower head against her body.

"Kikyko, he may have… tried… but you can't let this break you," Sango said to her.

She cried and rubbed her body with soap and a clothe. Sango bent down near the tub.

"Kiki, I'm sorry…" she said to her.

"Father should've killed him," she said rubbing her skin.

"Kiki… I don't know what I can do to help you," Sango said to her as she brushed her teeth over and over again.


I came in to the bathroom with towels and some clothes for Kikyko to wear. She was still in the bathtub rubbing her body down with soap.

"Kiki… honey stop, please…" I said to her bending down near the tub.

"I can't…" she said running her hands through her hair.

"Honey stop, come on… let's get you cleaned up," I said to her. She looked at me as Sango turned the water off.

"Momma…." She said as Sango and I dried her body and helped her dress.

"Yes?" I said to her. I wasn't sure what to say to make her feel better.

"I want to go home… I don't want to be here," she said in a monotone voice.

"We're going home…. We just have to figure out how," I said to her drying her hair. We opened the bathroom door Kikyko didn't look at her father or Miroku as we came out of the bathroom behind her.

"Kiki?" InuYasha said to her. He got up off the edge of the bed and came towards her.

"Don't InuYasha… just let her be," I said to him, I came between him and put my arm around Kikyko taking her out of the bedroom.

Miroku looked at Sango.

"He touched her inappropriately…. You both should've killed him," she said angry and followed behind me and Kikyko.

"That bastard, I should've let you kill him," Miroku said following behind us. InuYasha held his hands into fists and followed behind Miroku without words. I could tell he was angry, I knew his moods better then anyone, and I can tell when rage hit him. Sango and I took Kikyko to the kitchen to make her something to eat… to get her mind off things.

"Here how about we make something to eat?" I said to her. She leaned against the counter looking at the floor, she wouldn't look at any of us. InuYasha and Miroku came around us and to the living room.

"I don't want anything…" she said to us.

"Sure you do, lets make some cookies, I know how much you love cookies…" I said to her Sango looked at me and nodded.

"I think we have chocolate chips around here somewhere," Sango said opening a few cupboards.

She looked at us for a moment then came around the counter towards her father. She sat down between him and Miroku.

"Kiki… are you okay?" Miroku asked her.

"I'm sorry…. I didn't hear anything, I should've…" InuYasha said to her. She looked at him and wrapped her arms around him. He sighed deeply and hugged her, he touched her hair and pressed his head against hers.

"I'm so sorry…" He said to her.


"Oo oo, hot," she said as she broke open a cookie. She shoved it in her mouth.

I sighed deeply, her face was covered with chocolate and cookie crumbs.

"Its hot slow down," InuYasha said to her.

She took another cookie from the plate and bit into it. Sango and I looked at eachother and sighed.

"Seriously, where did I go wrong with this one…" I said again and sighed deeply.

"I think she's passing on her manners to my daughters, they've become like this," Sango said rubbing my back.

"Well at least she's enjoying herself," Miroku said watching Kikyko devour two cookies at once.

"So are you going to share those, or do we have to make another batch?" InuYasha said to her. She held a cookie to her mouth and looked at him. Then slowly I saw her take the plate in to her lap. He shook his head at her and crossed his arms.

"I swear…. We had to have missed something somewhere with this one…." He said in a half whisper.

She looked at her father and held up a cookie to him.

"You can have one," she said and held the plate to her lap. He smiled and took it from her.

InuYasha took the cookie and broke it into pieces then shared it with us. Kikyko took two more cookies from the plate and shoved them in her mouth.

"AAAH, THERE'S NO MORE…" she whined looking at the plate.

"Yeah because someone ate them all," I said to her. She huffed and pushed the plate to the table.

"Can we make some more?" she asked grabbing a napkin.

"Seriously its 2am?" I said to her.

"Where do you even store it all, do you have a second stomach or something?" Sango teased her. She looked at Sango trying to figure out what she meant by that.

"A second stomach, can people have that?" she said bending over to us. We looked at her and laughed.


"She eats then sleeps," InuYasha said as he put her down in our bed.

"Yeah and she burns so much energy when she's awake," I said sliding into bed next to her.

I pulled her to me and held her close.

"I'm sorry Kagome, I should've protected her…" he said to me as he slid in next to her as well.

"No, I'm her mother and I couldn't even keep her safe… I neglected her," I said touching her hair.

"Let's find our son… and leave this hell hole, this reality is really beginning to piss me off. Your family doesn't even know who we are, my father is supposed to be dead, and we're all scattered. We have no idea where any of our family is," InuYasha said to me touching Kikyko's hair.

"Kaede, Rin… Shippou," I said to him. Kikyko's hands clung to my shirt. I held her closer to me and hummed to her.

"I love you Kagome," he said to me. His arm wrapped around Kikyko. She rolled over to him. He leaned over her and kissed me.


"Hahhaha, stupid little girl! You dare use a barrier to protect your family, nothing will protect them," Nakemaru's voice rumbled in Kikyko's dream.

"Don't come near us," she said holding her hands to the air. She was breathing heavily, she used all her strength and spiritual powers to form a barrier around her brother and her cousins.

"Hey, hey…" Inuko said shaking her.

"Don't pass out, dad's coming. I can pick up his scent… Sesshomaru and father's swords, they'll end him…" Inuko said wrapping an arm around Kikyko.

"I can't… keep this… going!" she said in a faint voice.

She pulled herself out of the barrier and kept her hands up.

"What are you doing… Kikyko what are you doing?" Inuko said reaching for her.

"Keep them safe Inuko," she said to her brother.

"NOO… NOO YOU STUPID GIRL," was the last she heard of her brother's voice. Her body fainted and fell to the ground.

"YOU'RE MINE," was all she heard as her mind went blank.

"UUhhh, uhh," Kikyko mumbled in her sleep.

"She has a fever, InuYasha she's so hot…" I said touching her face. He pulled the blanket off of her and got up.

Sango rubbed a clothe over Kikyko's forehead. I placed a cold wet cloth over her chest.

"What happened?" Miroku said to InuYasha.

"I think she's having visions… or something, we can't seem to wake her," he said to Miroku.

"Kiki, come on honey wake up…" I said shaking her. She would breath heavily and her voice was shaky. She kept trying to breath.

"Kikyko…. Kikyko," another unfamiliar voice called to her.

"Huh?" she said opening her eyes. She was in a white unfamiliar room. Nothing around her. Someone held her in his arms and had a hand to her forehead.

"You did well Kikyko, you saved everyone, no one will have memories… but everyone is safe," the voice said to her.

"Huh? Who… are you?" Kikyko's voice stuttered.

"You won't remember me, you have never meet me, I am your grandfather Inu No Taisho." He said to her. She sat up and looked at him.

"You look like Uncle Sesshomaru," she said looking at his long white hair, the scars on his face and his armor.

"Why… are you here?" she asked looking around this white hazy room.

"And you have your father's eyes, and his strength and spirit…" he said to her touching her face.

"Why are you here grandfather?" she said to him again.

"You summond me, Tetsusaiga and Tensaiga clashed together as the demon came after you, and the spirit of the swords summonded me," he said looking at her.

"Why…" she asked again.

"Aren't you full of questions, I don't know why I'm here, Kikyko…. You must save everyone, only you can bring everyone home," he said to her. His voice slowly disappeared.

"KIKYKO.. KIKI…" I shouted at her.

"Hhhuh," her voice cracked.

"Her fever broke," Sango said touching her forehead.

"M—momma," she said opening her eyes.

"Thank goodness," I said leaning over her.


"Kikyko, your grandfather?" I said to her trying to make sense of her story. She pulled her robe over her shoulders and shivered. I put another blanket over her.

"That's what he said…. I don't know why I saw him, I've never meet him," she said to us.

"My father does live here… he is alive, and Sesshomaru as well. I don't know if he has his memories or knows of anything that's been happening, I know he's not real and he's supposed to be dead…. But what if he knows something?" InuYasha said to us.

"Should we ask him? Maybe have him meet Kikyko?" Miroku said to us, he handed Kikyko a cup of water. She took it from him and took a drink from it.

"I don't know if we can… we'll have to discuss this. My brother doesn't like people of this time, he's been very mean to everyone we've meet, I'd be concerned for Kikyko's safety," InuYasha said to us.

"Kiki sweetie, sleep get some rest… we'll talk about this later," I said to her. She looked at me and slid herself in to the blanket.

Miroku and Sango came around the bed and looked at her.

"We should let her rest, we will be in the living room, we'll talk.." Sango said to me. I nodded. I pulled the sheets over her and kissed her forehead.

"InuYasha?" I said to him as I came towards the door.

"I'll be right there," he said coming around the bed to Kikyko.

"We'll be in the living room if you need anything," he said to her. She looked at him.

"Daddy I'll be okay, I'm so tired… I just… want to sleep," she said to him.

He bent over her and kissed her forehead.

"Love you," he said to her. He turned off the lamp and came around the bed towards me.

I closed the door behind us.

"We have to figure this out, what if your father does know of what's happening? Maybe his memories have returned?" I said to InuYasha in a half whisper holding the door closed. Kikyko slid out of bed and came towards the door listening to us.

"We'll figure it out, I don't want Kikyko involved in anything… not anymore," he said to me. I sighed and nodded. He took my hand as we turned to the hallway.

"I have to find big brother," Kikyko said stepping away from the door.


Kikyko went to the closet looking for clothes.

"I'll wear this," she said grabbing jeans and a long sleeved shirt. She threw them on quickly.

"Where is it?" she said running through the bathroom, she came to her room and opened the drawer at the bed side table.

"That paper with the address," she said to herself. She pulled out the drawer and dropped it.

"Shoot!" she said. She turned her head to the door listening if we had heard her.

"There it is," she said noticing the yellow paper, she picked it up.

"I can't go out the front door," she said thinking.

"The window…" she said looking at the window, she stood up and unlocked it. She pulled it up and looked down.

"Aaah, its far down," she said to herself. The house was a two level large house with lots of rooms and high windows.

She shifted herself over the window pain and slowly pulled herself down out the window.

"Aaah," she said as she lost her grip and fell.

"Owwie!" she said rubbing her butt.

She stood up and looked at the black sky, she opened the piece of paper.

"The woods near the east of Tokyo where the sky meets the ground, you'll see the mountains… we have a small cabin within the woods," the letter said.

"I'll find it," Kikyko said to herself. She pushed the letter in to her pocket and ran towards the trees.

"So… I think we need to gather your father and Sesshomaru," Miroku said as Sango passed out some tea.

"I think I'll call him tomorrow, ask him to come by," InuYasha said to us. He stood up and ran his hand through his hair.

"Where are you going?" I asked him as he turned to the hallway.

"To check up on Kikyko," he said to us. I shook my head and sighed deeply, he's so protective of her.

"Aaah, slow down Kikyko," she said to herself as she paced herself. She panted and took in a deep breath.

"The woods are so large," she said looking up to the trees.

"How will I find them?" she said catching her breath. She held her hand over her mouth and took in a deep breath.

"I should've brought some water with me," she said to herself again.

"Huh!" she said after a few moments. She stood absolutely still and closed her eyes.

"Ha ha, take that," she heard a voice echo.

"Koji… Yuki?" she said and a smile struck her face.

"Kiki… hey," InuYasha said knocking on the door. He opened it and came in.

"What… the hell?" he said looking around the messy room. He quickly came through the room to the closet and to the bathroom.

"KAGOME…" he shouted for me.

We looked at eachother and stood up and ran to the room.

"What… what InuYasha what is it?" I said frantic, I ran in to the bedroom.

"She's… gone?" Sango said looking at the mess. Miroku followed InuYasha in to her room.

"Damn stupid girl," I heard InuYasha's voice.

"She went out the window," he said hitting the window pain.

"She what.. what do you mean she's out there?" I shouted. We all ran out the room and through the house.

"Ha, ha… huuu!" Kikyko said catching her breath.

"How can I not find them," she said bending over she touched her hands to her knees catching her breath.

"I swear I heard their voices," she said again to herself. She hadn't noticed her arm was bleeding, "Huh, shoot… I must've cut myself," she said touching her sweater.

"That stupid girl.. where the hell is she," InuYasha's voice rumbled. He sniffed the air trying to pick up her scent.

"Calm down, when you find her don't loose it on her… she's probably looking for her brother," Miroku said looking around us.

"She was here," Sango said looking at a tree, she ran her hand along the bark. A piece of her sweater was caught on the bark.

We all came towards her and looked at the tree.

"She came through here," Sango said again looking at the ground.

"When I find her…" InuYasha hissed angrily. He ran through the way Sango was going. InuYasha seemed to not have his speed and all his scenses, I noticed this, as he wasn't his usual half demon self. He struggled to pick up her scent, and he wasn't any faster then any of us. His eyes would narrow and focus, as if he wasn't able to pick up movement. This worried me.

"Huh?" Kikyko turned her head to the woods. She heard something.

"What?" she said looking through the way she had come.

"You stupid girl," she heard her father's voice.

"Papa?" she said looking at him as he came right to her.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, DO YOU KNOW HOW SCARED I WAS, I THOUGHT…" he shouted at her. He grabbed her arms and looked at her.

"Ow, papa stop your hurting me..." she said to him.

"I THOUGHT SOMEONE TOOK YOU…. YOU STUPID GIRL, WHY DID YOU RUN… WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" he shouted at her as we came through the clearing.

"InuYasha, stop… stop yelling at her," I said to him putting my hand on his arm.

He forcefully grabbed her arm.

"GET YOUR ASS BACK TO THAT HOUSE…" he shouted at her.

"STOP FATHER.. don't yell at her," Inuko's voice rumbled. He came around Kikyko and stood in front of her.

"In…Inuko?" I said looking at him. Tears filled my eyes.

"INUKO…" I shouted at him and grabbed him.

"Mother?" he said looking at me, as I wrapped my arms around him.

InuYasha let go of Kikyko's arm and looked at Inuko.

"Inuko… oh…" I said looking at him. I touched his face and his ears. I looked him over and cried.

"Mother stop crying please," he said to me.

"Inuko… are, Haku and Kira… are they," Sango said coming towards him.

"Everyone's here… come with me," he said to all of us. InuYasha looked at him and didn't even say a word to him. He looked angry with him for some reason. He was his own son and he didn't even seem happy to see him. Inuko came to Kikyko and touched her head. He put his arm around her, we followed him through the woods.

As we came through a clearing a large opened field, I saw Hakura and Kira come out of a cabin.

"HAKURA… KIRA," Sango shouted she ran to them.

"Mother… mother," the twins both shouted. They ran down the stairs to them.

"Thank god," Miroku said running to his children. The boys came outside as well, Sango grabbed them and hugged them. She held her children and cried. I looked at Inuko and Kikyko.

InuYasha shook his head, I looked at him as I held Kikyko in my arms. He held a hand to his face, his eyes filled with tears. He was crying, this is the first time in a long time I've ever seen him cry.

"Father… I'm sorry, I didn't keep sis…" Inuko said to his father. InuYasha grabbed him and hugged him.

"Shut the hell up!" he said to him.

"Uh, dad?" he said.


"I'm so glad all of you are okay?" Sango said to her children.

"Mom come inside… it'll rain soon," Hakura said to her parents. We looked at Sango and Miroku and followed them in to their small cabin.

"Inu..Yasha?" I said to him. He looked at Inuko then to us.

"Dad, come inside with us…" Inuko said to his father. He half turned to me, I reached my hand for him and he came towards me taking my hand. Kikyko smiled and stood in front of us.

"Hey, come on move," Inuko said to her. She held her arms out blocking him. I smiled and came around her, she was playing with her brother like they always do.

He crossed his arms and looked at her. InuYasha sighed and shook his head, he came around Kikyko and patted her head.

"I said move stupid," Inuko said to Kikyko.

"Make me," she said to him still holding her arms out.

"Why are you so stupid?" he said to her teasing her.

"Your stupid," she said to him. He sighed and rolled his eyes to the sky.

"Okay you asked for it," he said and picked her up.

"Woah woah, ahhh Inuko put me down…" she shouted at him.

"Stop being so stupid," he said to her and put her down.

"YOU'RE A STUPID HALF DEMON," she shouted at him. I heard them squabbling outside and laughed.

He looked at her and grabbed her, he pulled her to him and wrapped his arms around her.

"I missed you," he said to her and touched her head. She smiled and hugged him.


Inuko and Kikyko came through the door still squabbling. Kikyko hit him in the arm and came towards us.

"Your stupid," she said to him. He rubbed his arm and followed her.

"Inuko," I said to him as he pulled out a chair at their table and sat down. I looked at him and reached my hand out to him. He took my hand and smiled at me.

"Hey," Kikyko said to him she crossed her arms and looked at him.

"What?" he said to her.

"Nothing," she said and came around him. She patted his ears, he hated when she did that, he slapped her hand away as she came towards Haku and Kira. She pulled her arms around Haku and Kira and hugged them. They laughed.

I was relieved, glad, happy. I looked at everyone as they laughed. In a long time I hadn't seen this, I wondered how long we'd been here for, and had so many questions. Inuko looked at me and smiled.

"Mom," he said to me.

"Yes," I turned my eyes to him.

"Dad…everyone," Inuko said to us.

"We need to talk," he said again. Everyone stopped talking and looked to him.

"Without Kikyko…" He said and let go of my hand. He crossed his arms and looked at her.

"Huh? Hey stupid, I want to listen too," she said pulling herself away from Hakura and Kira.

"Inuko, we can talk at our place… but, let us just enjoy this," InuYasha said to him.

I saw Kikyko come around the table, on her tip toes, she snuck up behind Inuko.

"Don't you dare stupid," he said to her crossing his arms. I shook my head at her and sighed.

She jumped him trying to pull him from the chair, her arms wrapped around his neck.

"You won't win stupid I'm stronger then you," He said to her as she tried to pull him out of the chair.

"Rawr," she said and bit his ear playfully. He sighed and grabbed her arms.

We all looked at them and laughed. She pulled at him trying to move him from his spot. He sighed deeply and shook his head.
