Chapter 26

After killing the lead of the Higurashi family, Inuyasha turned his blood tainted eyes toward his mate who was being looked at by Kikiyo. Before anyone could try to stop him, Kagome pulled away from her sister with sorry filled eyes and said, "Sorry Kiki…but I got to leave things up to you for a while…I need to go."

"Kagome don't you dare." Kikiyo warned her sister as she thought of the worst. "Don't you dare leave me behind, don't leave us."

"Kikiyo…get away from her." Naraku was heard as he noticed Inuyasha's anger raising.

"No…I can help her…just stay will me." Kikiyo whispered as she tried to use her miko powers to heal her sister only to find that they were of no help.

"Get away…" Inuyasha's tainted voice was heard.

"Sota! Sota do something…keep him back while I heal her!" Kikiyo roared out in worry and stress as she tried to use more energy.

Before she could get any worse, Naraku knocked her out and held her in his arms as he growled at the inu hanyou, "My mate…away from your mate…"

"Inuyasha dear, it's us…your family." Izayoi tried to calm him.

As she struggled to finally stand up on her own, Kagome held out her hand for her hanyou lover to take as she said, "Shh…everything is alright…just take me….take me to them…you know….please."

"Inuyasha she needs help!" Sango was heard as she and Miroku approach them.

"She needs to be taken to the hospital." Miroku added.

"Too many questions…I can heal her." Rin stepped forward.

But no matter what ideas were offered to the lost hanyou, he knew what he had to do. He knew who were the right people to take her to that would be able to help her without letting her die. As he took her hand to lift her into his arms, Inuyasha let out a low soothing growl for her before taking off. He knew that he would have to leave without saying a word but he had to. To save her he would risk everything just to make sure she would forever to at her side. Before anyone could stop him, he was gone, with a bleeding Kagome in his arms.

Once they were sure that they were not going to be returning, Sango turned to face Naraku and asked, "What is going to happen now? She is in no condition to take over that family."

"I know, but it is why she was her mate to help her. Just because she is of direct blood line does not mean that I would not help her run that family." Naraku growled out. "If I need any help I will be sure to call you."

"I see, well then I hope you since I was seen by the two of them as a part of their family. If there is anything that you need help with please just tell me or my husband." Sango stated.

"So what now?" a worried Sota was heard.

"Now we wait for those two to come back to us. Will you be staying here long?" Inutaisho was heard.

"No, my wife will handle things in my leave; I have to help my sister and the others here before I can go back to the family I married into." Sota answered.

"I trust that you will return to your son and me when you can…as soon as you can." She was heard.

"I will. Now I'll get you to the plane, Naraku, I trust that you will have my sister home by the time I am done with my wife." Sota was heard.

"I suggest we get to our house as well. I do not need word to spread that my son has gone missing unless I have allowed what is going to be said." Izayoi was heard.

"Agreed, Rin, let's go." Sesshomaru was heard.

Once everyone had taken there leave, Sango turned to her husband and said, "We better start cleaning up. I'm sure that the cops might have been called and since they still haven't found out what I've become they will feel like it is their duty to help me."

"Well, then I better start putting up my barriers." Miroku replied with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, you better hurry too. I need to go and get Kohaku." Sango shot back as she began to walk away.

Soon months passed and there was still no word of Inuyasha or Kagome. They had no idea if Kagome had died and taken Inuyasha with her. They had no idea if she was still healing or if she was just unable to wake up out of the pure shock of being shot by her father. But it didn't matter, nothing matter. The only thing that mattered was their safe return. Sango, Miroku, Inutaisho, Naraku, Izayoi, and Sesshomaru all sat around in the table. They had to figure out something. Questions were began asked and if Inuyasha and Kagome did not turn up soon to take over the Higurashi family all hell was going to break lose.

While Naraku was doing his best running the family, no one would follow his orders that well. They wanted someone of Higurashi blood to run the family. Kikiyo was going to help Naraku expend his family and his business once she was well enough, but if Kagome did not come to run her family, her business soon it would be taken by someone of low blood heritage and order her death so that she would be unable to return.

"Kikiyo is still not well enough to try and calm those that followed her father. Although there are some that are glad that her father is no longer in charge, the most of them value my sister-in-laws views far more then those of my mate." Naraku growled.

"Have any began to act violent toward you or her?" Sango asked in a worried voice.

"No, they are not that stupid, but there are some that have been tempted to break their loyalty to us." Naraku answered.

"I say we kill any and all who would dare to even think of such a thing." Sesshomaru growled out.

"Then the cops would be all over it." Sango hissed. "I'm sorry to say that they still think they can save me us if lock you all up."

"It's a pain having to speak to them every two weeks just so that they do not further investigate what happened that night to begin with." Kohaku added.

"Miroku, have you really heard nothing?" Izayoi asked. Although it hurt her to know that her son could to this to her, stay away for so long without calling hurt her but she knew it was what he wanted and needed to do.

"No, I have not." Miroku answered in a sad voice.

"So what now? What are we going to do?" Inutaisho asked.

"It's simple." Rin's cold voice was heard as she walked in with Kikiyo at her side.

"You're supposed to be resting." Sesshomaru growled.

"As are you." Naraku added at his mate.

"We've been thinking." Rin answered before Kikiyo added.

"And enough is enough. We may be with your child but that does not mean we stopped being the women we were before we carried your child. Now listen to what we have to say or we'll leave you." Kikiyo hissed.

"Kikiyo do you realize what that would mean?" Naraku growled.

"You forget Naraku, you are lucky that I am not a spider demon like yourself. Have you forgotten what the woman of your kind do?" Kikiyo shot back.

"Sesshomaru you have no choice so stay the fuck quiet until I have said everything that I need to say." Rin hissed.

"Now girls, you are just angry and I understand, mates can be cruel and stupid, but to say such things is not something you should take lightly." Izayoi stated as she tried to calm the two.

But before anyone could say another word, the doors were opened as one an inu demon and bowed before he said, "Sir, we have some of the members of the Higurashi family at our doors, they will not move and demand to speak with Kikiyo and Naraku at once."

"How dare those bastards." Naraku growled as his eyes began to glow red.

"I'll show them, I am just as much as a killer as my younger sister if not more." Kikiyo hissed as she pulled out a dagger in one hand and a 45mm gun in the other.

"That is not a wise thing to do." Sesshomaru growled as he reached for Rin.

"Kikiyo…think about your child." Rin added.

"I will do what I have to…Naraku you may be my mate but they will always turn to a true Higurashi, and that is something that you can never be." Kikiyo hissed as she turned around and took her leave. 'Everything is going to be alright…I just know it…I know it.'

Knowing that it would be wrong and dangerous if they just let her go, everyone got up and went after the upset miko. Once they had reached the door where they were begin waited for, Naraku couldn't believe at what he saw. Kikiyo held her gun high as she pointed it at the mad before her while another lay at her feet with a bullet at his heart. Before anyone could say a word, Kikiyo glared at the men before her and said, "I may not have the same blood as that of my father's lover but I will be a better leader, I have the heart to change things. And if you fools think you can push me around then you got another thing coming."

"You are mated to that spider demon; you are the mistress of that clan now. We need a Higurashi now, not a spider's wife." One of the elder men was heard.

But before another word could be spoken, Inuyasha appeared in front of Kikiyo after taking the gun from her as the man that had spoken out against her was torn apart. Before anyone could say a word, everyone from the Higurashi family, fell to the floor and to their knees as they heard her cold voice say, "Anyone else has anything ill mannered to tell my sister or do they just want to curse her out before I claim your head."

"Feh, cool it wench, we need some of them to work for us." Inuyasha's growl was heard.

"Feh, I'll just get new people to work for me. Although it will hurt, I will not allow such disrespect go on." Kagome added.

Before Inuyasha could say anything else, Sango run up to Kagome and slapped her across the face as she yelled out, "You got some fucking never you bitch! Do you have any idea how worried I was or how worried we all were!"

As she whipped the blood off her lip, Kagome grinned and said, "No, but it doesn't matter…I'm alive aren't I."

"Feh, just barely and only because I had to fucking knock you out." Inuyasha growled.

"That's beside the point." Kagome whispered as she turned to face her sister.

The moment she was sure that she was not seeing things, Kikiyo threw her arms around her sister and held on to her for dear life. She knew that she would be alright, and had felt it. She was glad that she would be here and was glad that everything would be alright. Before anyone could ask any questions, Kagome faced everyone as she held onto her crying sister and said, "I know that we have lots to explain but I hope you'll give me time to get my house together. I don't need any problems before my niece or nephew is born."

"Then until you explain to us my son stays with us." Inutaisho growled out in anger.

"No, he is to stay by my side. He is my mate, much more then you son." Kagome growled out in anger as her eyes flashed red just like that of her mates when he was uncontrollable.

"Things aside, it's time to get my mate to some more rest." Naraku growled.

"Kagome…you came back." Kikiyo whispered.

"Yeah, I did, now just make sure that you get your rest, I'm going to settle this…I'll be back so stay here. I don't trust the lot for now." Kagome whispered into her sister's ear before pulling away.

"You have to call brother once you're done." Kikiyo replied as she made her way to her mate's side.

"I will, inu baby…let go…we got things to fix." Kagome's cold voice was heard as her men began to shiver with fever at the sound of her voice.

Although there was lots to do, she knew that everything to would be alright. she knew that everything would be alright. she was after all, the bosses daughter and she would not fail him, no matter what he had done to her, she would not fail him and she would not allow him to mock her in his death. She was just as much his daughter as she was her mother and it was about time everyone else took notice of it too.
