Disclaimer: Once again I do not own InuYasha

A/N:

My family is also reading this story and unlike true InuYasha fans they have no clue what I'm even writing about or how to pronounce the names... (That means you Grizzley) So let me help them out:

Kagome (KA-GO-MAY)

InuYasha (IN-OO-YASHA)

Keikan (KEY-I-CON)

Koga/Kouga [All this time I thought I was getting it wrong and there are 2 ways to spell his name yet no one told me (K-O-GA)]

Miroku (MEER-O-KU)

Sango (SONG-O)

Shippo (SHIP-PO) can't get much easier than that

Kikyo (KEEK-KEY-O)

Kaede (KY-AID-DE)

Myoga (ME-O-GA)

Well hope that helps... Now back to the story!

CHAPTER ELEVEN

Kagome rolled over moaning, "Keikan...Keikan... Keikan..." She felt tired and weak, even after resting all day. Once again it was raining, the water droplets pounding on the hut like hammers. A nagging thought hid in the back of her mind. Something important had happened yet she couldn't remember what it was. She shrugged a pain full shoulder.

'When did I get hurt?' She wondered.

Slowly her body became aware of it's ache and bruises. The pain wasn't bad, merely noticed able. Her body was as if she hadn't moved in days. Hesitantly, she stood on wobbling legs. Grunting and biting her lip she shuffled her way to the main room. It was empty.

'Where is everyone?'

She heard a noise out side. "That sounded like Sango." Again she managed to shuffle her way to the steps outside.

Koga's entire pack, as well as her friends, where attacking a taller tree that stood next to a newly growing one. Sangos' Hiraikotsu flew back to her as she made easy show of catching it. Next, InuYasha ran forward with his sword drawn.

"STOP!" Koga yelled.

InuYasha slid to a halt, "Why the hell did you stop me for you mangy wolf?"

Koga arrogantly walked up to him. "What exactly do you think you're doing with that sword?"

"I'm getting ready to kill Kikyo." InuYasha said pointing to the tree.

'Kikyo? Why would they be practicing to kill Kikyo?'

Koga fist swung wide as he punched InuYasha's jaw. "Did you already forget that killing Kikyo will also kill Kagome!"

InuYasha rubbed his jaw annoyingly, "How else do you think we get Keikan back and send Kikyo to hell?"

Kagome gasped loudly, everyone looked at her standing in the doorway of the hut as the memory of what happened came flooding back to her.

"Look who finally decide to join his real mother. The son who should have always been ours, InuYasha." Rising into the air Kikyo vanished in a cloud of miasma. Taking Keikan with her.

Kagome gasped again as the memory finished playing in her mind. "Keikan." She whispered.

Koga looked to a frozen InuYasha, "You better get over there mut, before she loses control." He instructed.

With a leap InuYasha landed next to Kagome in the hut. InuYasha, still dripping with the rain he was just in, left puddles of water as he came closer. Once he thought he was close enough he grabbed Kagome and wrapped his arms around her.

Kagome clung to InuYashas' red kimono. Her fingers tightening over the soaked fabric as she pulled him closer. "Our boy, InuYasha." She whispered. "She has our son."

"We'll get him back, Kagome." InuYasha said trying to convince himself as much as he was trying to convince her. "I promise we'll get him back."

Kagomes' face lost emotion. "How long have I been asleep?"

"You needed the rest. You needed time to heal."

"How long?" She demanded.

InuYasha tightened his hold on her, "Two weeks. You came down with a fever that lasted until four days ago."

Kagome struggled to escape InuYasha grasp. "Two weeks?" She screeched. "Two weeks? Keikan could be dead by now!"

"He's not." InuYasha insisted.

"And how would you know?"

"Myoga would have returned if he was." He told her.

"A flee!" She screamed. "You trust that peep squeak coward of a flee to watch my son!"

InuYasha lifted her, carrying her to the room. He threw he down onto the bed. "He's my son too." He snapped.

"You knew nothing about him until you came here." Kagome argued back.

"Because of you!" He yelled finally snapping. Kagome just looked at him. "You hid him from me. You kept him a secrete. You allowed that flee bitten wolf to raise my pup. If anyone should be pissed in this situation it should be me. I was actually getting along with my son before she took him. I can't destroy her because I refuse to lose you. What more do you want me to do, Kagome?" He was panting by the time he finished watching silent tears stream down her face. "You can't go anywhere in the rain, and we refuse to chase them down without you. Your wounds are barely closed. When the rain stops and it looks to be clear for a while, we will leave to find him."

"We don't need to find him." She said coldly. "They are at the well near Kaede's village."

"That's another two week journey from here. With you in your condition, it may even be a three week journey." He sighed and sat next to Kagome on the bed. She instantly put her head on his should like she had done so many times before. "I know that you're worried, Kagome. I am too."

"I just want him home." She softly said as more tears seeped from her eyes.

InuYasha rubbed his cheek across her head before kissing her forehead just below her hairline. "I know. I want him home with us too." When Kagome remained silent, he assumed that she had fallen back to sleep.

"InuYasha?" She murmured.

"Yeah?"

She looked up at him, "I don't want to think of this now. Help me to forget."

InuYasha just looked at her. Her skin was pale. There were bags under her eyes. To him, she looked as if she was just waiting for death. His clawed fingers traveled up her neck. They gently cradled her cheek, before cupping her chin. InuYasha bent his head, "Kagome."

Koga looked up from the tree he just punched and caught InuYasha coming out of the hut pulling on his fire rat kimono. Instantly Koga could smell the faint scent of sweat, and Kagome on him. It was even harder to miss the grin that painted his face. "Took you long enough?" Koga grumbled.

"You can never rush anything with Kagome." InuYasha teased.

Koga snorted. "Don't think that when this is all over you can have her for free. I'm still in the running."

InuYasha grinned ever wide if it was possible, "And still coming in last."

"That's what you think, MUT."

"Bring it on, Koga."

It was the first time InuYasha had used his name without an insult attached to it. He guessed InuYasha was in a way better mood. Together they both ran forward in the rain, the puddles splashing up as their feet pounded forward. Together they attacked the sorry looking tree, slicing it in two with their claws. They were grinning at each other as they watched it slide to the muddy ground.
