Chapter 29

After about 2 hours they were finally able to make it back to Kaede's village

There they treated their wounds.

After that Sesshomaru,Rin,and Jaken had to leave

"Lord Sesshomaru do we really have to go?"asked Rin

"Don't complain Rin!"cried Jaken

"Silence Jaken! We'll be back when those monsters attack again."said Sesshomaru

"Are you sure you want to leave?"asked Kagome

"There's no use in staying now."said Sesshomaru

Rin then turned to Goten

"Bye Goten. I hope I see you soon."said Rin

She then leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek shocking Jaken

Goten then blushed when she did

She then waved to him and left with Sesshomaru and Jaken

"That was completely inappropriate Rin!"Jaken scolded

"Be quiet Jaken..."said Sesshomaru

He then turned to Rin

"You adore that boy don't you Rin?"Sesshomaru asked

Rin nodded with a smile

Sesshomaru then smiled. A kind smile which also shocked Jaken

"This day is getting stranger by the minute." he thought

"Awww that's so cute."said Kagome

"Really adorable."said Ayame

"Looks like Goten has a little crush. So precious."said Sango

"Hey Goten you have a girlfriend!"teased Trunks

"She's not my girlfriend!"cried Goten with his cheeks red

"Hey Goten,there's nothing to be ashamed about."said Gohan ruffling Goten's hair

"Yeah. You shouldn't hide how you feel about her!"teased Inuyasha

"If only you took your own advice."said Miroku

"Oh shut up. Who asked you?"

"Well I would hate to interrupt this but Ayame and have to get back to the clan."said Koga

Koga then grabbed Kagome's hand.

"I'm sorry I couldn't get Naraku's head for you but I promise I will."said Koga

"That won't be necessary."said Kagome smiling nervously

"Of course it's necessary. You're my woman..."he said

Ayame had look of jealousy as she stared at them

"You mangy wolf!Get your hands off of her!"Inuyasha cried as he lunged at him

Koga then jumped and took off in a whirlwind with Ayame following behind

Later that night everyone was doing their own thing

Kagome was with Kaede trying to make dinner

Gohan,Sango,and Miroku went to visit Kohaku

As they went into the room Kohaku looked healthy and seemed to get some of his memories back due to the healers not including the memories of killing his own fellow demon slayers.

"Sango?"asked Kohaku

Tears then fell from her eyes

"Kohaku you remember me!"she cried

She ran and hugged her brother real tight

"Hey sis, I recognize Miroku but I don't know who your other friend is."he said

"Oh this is Gohan. If it wasn't for him you wouldn't be alive."Sango said

"Oh it was nothing."said Gohan smiling

Kohaku then bowed and said"Thank you. I'm in your debt."he said

After a few minutes Miroku and Gohan went in order for Sango to spend some time alone with her brother

Gohan went inside Kaede's house

Kagome noticed him

"Oh hey Gohan,we're just making just stepped out. Here have a taste of this stew."she said giving him a spoon full

Gohan then ate it

"Wow! You're a great cook Kagome!"cried Gohan

"It's nothing."said Kagome blushing

"No really. You're great."

"Inuyasha sometimes would insult my cooking."she said

"Well I don't know why. You're better than the chefs my girlfriend, Videl had."

Suddenly Gohan felt sad. He missed Videl so much

Kagome feeling sad and a bit jealous sat next to him

"You really loved her didn't you?"she asked

"Yeah."

"Do you think you'll ever move on?"

"I know she would want me to but it's hard."

Kagome then put her head on his shoulder

"Well I'm here for you."said Kagome

Gohan smiled

"Thanks Kagome."he said

Suddenly he stared at her beautiful eyes

They shined in the fire

He then felt himself leaning in

She noticed this too and all of sudden she leaned in also

Just when they were about to kiss until Shippo burst through the door

They instantly pulled apart

"Hey guys! What're you doing?"he asked

"Oh...we were just...talking."said Kagome

"About what?"

"Clothes!" Gohan randomly saying the first thing in his head

"Clothes?"

Gohan looked at his clothes.

They were torn and dirty

He needed a change

"Yeah. Kagome was just telling me that I need some new clothes. But I got that covered."

Gohan then removed one of his wrist guards showing a watch

He pressed a button and instantly changed into his Saiyaman costume

"Whoa that's so cool!"cried SHippo

"Were you a super hero?"asked Kagome

"Yeah. I was known as the great Saiyaman!"he cried doing poses

Suddenly Gohan felt someone staring at him

He saw Inuyasha,Sango,Miroku,Trunks,Future Trunks,and Kaede looking at him awkwardly

"I can explain this."said Gohan

Gohan then explained this to everyone while they ate ,except for Trunks and Goten who already knew from the beginning

"I can't believe my mother would think of something like that."said Future Trunks

"Hey this is cool!"Gohan cried

"More like stupid."said Inuyasha

"Hmph."said Gohan as he removed his helmet and cape

He then gave it to Goten and Shippo to play with it.

"Has anyone seen Kikyo?"asked Inuyasha

" No. We actually haven't seen her."said Miroku

"To be honest we haven't seen Tarble either."said Sango

"Maybe they're doing something romantic."said Shippo

Inuyasha then stuffed him in the helmet and threw him

He landed on the floor hard.

"Well I'm gonna look for her."said Inuyasha getting up

At this Kagome felt a little sad and jealous

Somewhere in the village Tarble was sitting down looking at the sky

"May I join you?"asked a voice

He turned to see Kikyo standing behind him

"DO as you wish."he said in a rough voice

She sat next to him

"Here."said Kikyo

She handed Tarble a new male black kimono

"Hmph. I don't need one of those. I already disposed of the last one."

"Alright. But I do insist you try it on."said Kikyo

Suprisingly Tarble found himself trying on the new kimono

"Why the hell am I doing this?" he thought to himself

"It looks good on you."said Kikyo

"Tell me priestess,why do you have much interest in me?"he asked

"Let's just say I don't believe you're quite as evil the others make you out to be."she said

"And what makes you so sue?"

"I myself don't know the reason why."said Kikyo smiling

After a few minutes Kikyo spoke up

"Tarble,you said before you were a part of a race known as Saiyans?"

Tarble then explained to her about the Saiyan warrior race

After he was done she said

"I see. But may I ask you something? I remember asking Inuyasha this many years ago but are you unable to be yourself unless you were fighting?"

"No I'm unable. Fighting is in mysoul. This is what separates me from that dog. My race unlike his are born to fight. It is part of our lives. That is our only purpose."said Tarble

Kikyo was silent for a moment

"No. I don't believe that's true."she said

Tarble then got up and walked a feet away

"What you do or don't believe is none of my concern. But that is the truth for the Saiyans."

Suddenly after a short silence ,without thinking, he blurted out words he never thought he would say

"Thank you for what you gave me."he said referring to the kimono

And he flew off

Kikyo then smiled

She was then about to leave the village until suddenly Inuyasha came out of nowhere.

"Are you leaving?"he asked her

"Yes. I'll come back when Naraku and those other monsters return"she said

As she walked a few feet Inuyasha then grabbed her arm

"Inuyasha what are you..."she began

Suddenly he kissed her

Kikyo was taken surprise by it

He then separated from her

"I can't lose you again Kikyo. Who knows what's going to happen while you're on your own? Naraku and that Mira guy might come after you again!"Inuyasha cried

"I have my own journey to attend to Inuyasha. And you have yours."

"But I still love you!"he cried

Kikyo then turned and walked way

"I'm sorry ...Inuyasha."she said as she left the village

Behind a tree Kagome had been watching

She went out to look for Inuyasha since he had been out for a quite a while and stumbled into their conversation

Tears streamed down her face

She then emerged from the trees

Inyasha turned to see Kagome

"Kagome..."he began

She then ran off not looking back

After a few minutes she ran into Gohan

Gohan noticed her tears

"Kagome what's wrong?"he asked as she embraced him

"Inuyasha and Kikyo. That's what."she said

Gohan then understood

"Listen it's all right. I'm here for you."he said

After a brief pause Kagome said"Gohan..."

She then went in and kissed him

Gohan was first stunned by this and then he slowly closed his eyes too and put his arms around Kagome

They were both kissing in the night sky

"Kagome!"Inuyasha called out

Suddenly he saw them. They were in a tender embrace

Inuyasha felt as if he was punched in the chest when he saw this

He had a mixture of anger and sadness

He then stormed off

Without the three of them knowing there were other spectators too

Near the bushes and trees were Sango,Miroku,Future Trunks,Shippo,Goten,Trunks,and Kilala

"I can't believe it. Poor Inuyasha."said Sango

"Well we did warn him this would happen if he didn't tell Kagome how he felt. But then again Kikyo was here so I'm almost 100% sure Inuyasha did something as well."said Miroku

"Looks like this has been one mess of night.I can't imagine how they'll be able to manage in the next few days"said Future Trunks

"I really don't wanna grow up now."said Shippo

"Me too."said Trunks

"Me three."said Goten

"But one thing's for sure we're going to totally screw with Gohan about this."said Trunks

The next few days weren't anything but unpleasant.

There was such romantic tension and awkwardness in the group

After a week Gohan,Future Trunks,Goten,and Trunks then sensed danger

"They've attacked! We have to head out now!"cried Future Trunks

They decided it would be faster to travel by air

As they flew no one spoke a word partially because of the awkwardness between them

Especially between Inuyasha and Kagome

Inuyasha rode on Kilala with Miroku,Sango,and Shippo while Kagome rode on GOhan

They then landed in a large village

Sesshomaru,Jaken,Rin,A-Un and even Kikyo was there

"So you guys sensed them too."said Future Trunks

"Indeed."said Sesshomaru

"A dark presence is around this place."said Kikyo

Inuyasha and Kikyo glanced at each other and quickly looked away

Sensing the tension Future Trunks said"Let's head out."

After walking for a few minutes they began to notice something off from the village

"This is strange. Why isn't anyone here?"asked Sango

"It's a total ghost town."said Inuyasha

Gohan then began to feel some pain in his chest and was sweating a little bit

"Hey guys does anyone feel hot or is it just me?"he asked

"It's not that hot."said Kagome

When they reached the end of the village they saw something shocking

Dead corpses were piled everywhere. Only a dozen people were alive

Standing in front of the people was what shocked Gohan , Future Trunks,Goten,and Trunks

There stood the androids. The enemies of their past

Andorids 13,17,18,and 20( Dr. Gero)

"Well we've been expecting you. Mira and Naraku sent us here to become... noticed."said Dr. Gero

"You evil bastards!"cried Inuyasha drawing his sword

"Hey 17,dog boy is having a tantrum."said 18

"Heh heh heh. Maybe we should shoot him. I hate dogs that bark loudly."he said

"If we talkin' bout shootin' I don't mind..."said 13 smiling

Inuyasha was about to lunge at them until Gohan put his arm out

"Not here!There are still innocent 's go someplace with no civilians"said Gohan

" I don't think you have the authority to give us orders. We're powerful androids of the red ribbon army."said

"Androids?"asked Kagome in bewilderment, "But they look like humans."

"Red Ribbon Army?"asked Sango

"Yes. A powerful army that was going to rule earth until those boys' father ruined our plans."said pointing to Gohana nd Goten

"How about some pay back? You choose the place. I don't mind"said 13 cracking his knuckles

Gohan then flew with his friends and the androids following

They came to a wasteland where no one will get hurt.

Gohan,Inuyasha,Sesshomaru,and Future Trunks were there first facing the androids

"Now then...how about you turn to one of them Super saiyans and we can get started boy..."said Android 13

"Sure thing. But do you wanna see a super saiyan or do you want me to take it to the next level?"asked Gohan

"What?"

"Let me show you! HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"Gohan cried

The ground began to shake. His black hair turned gold and golden aura surrounded him.

"Gohan's showing off again."said Inuyasha

Gohan then finished his transformation

"My data doesn't have any info on this transformation."said 13 before he was rammed with Gohan's fist in his stomach

Gohan then kicked him in the air. He then threw many blows at 13's body with 13 too slow to keep up with him

The others then arrived

"Trunks how's Gohan?"asked Kagome

"Yeah is he okay?"asked Goten

"Well Goten your brother is currently handing the Red Ribbon Red neck his hillbilly binge drinking ass."said Future Trunks

"I agree with you on that one."said Sango

" It may seem like this to you but none of you know 13's true abilities. You can't even imagine the horrors he will bestow on your ally...Oh for God's sake 13,throw a freaking punch!"cried Dr. Gero

Gohan then kneed 13 in the face causing him to crash down

Gohan then landed on the ground

Suddenly Gohan began to cough continuously

"Gohan are you okay?"asked Inuyasha

"Yeah I'm fine."Gohan replied

Android 13 emerged from the rocks

"Stop fooling around 13! Drain his energy!"Dr. Gero cried

"Hey give 13 a break doc. His circuits might be covered in dust."said Android 17

"Yeah. His nuts and bolts might be rusting."said Android 18

"Oh shut up both of you! I'm just getting started!"13 said shouted as he got up,"You're going to regret that boy..."he continued to say

13 then spread out his arms.

A large red ball of energy emerged it

He then shot it at Gohan

"MASENKO!"Gohan cried as he destroyed the ball of energy with his blast

"What...impossible."said 13

"And that was only a fraction of my energy."said Gohan

He then appeared behind 13 and elbowed him into a stone wall

"Gohan is doing well."said Miroku

"Go Gohan!"cried Shippo

When 13 emerged from the rocks Gohan cupped his hands

"Ka...me...ha..me...ha!" he cried shooting a blue blast of energy

"Move 13!"Gero cried

13 thrust both his hands out and suddenly the blast disappeared

"What happened?"asked Kagome

"I think he just drained his energy."said Kikyo

"Huff... huff...okay,that didn't seem to work. But don't worry guys I'll try something else."said Gohan

He then flew at 13 and punched him in the face

13's head went back but his body barely moved

He then smiled "Looks like you're a little winded,boy..."said 13

He then kicked Gohan hard causing him to crash into the floor

Gohan then began to breath heavily and started clutching his chest

"What's wrong with Gohan? He hasn't used that much energy."said Goten

Future Trunks then narrowed his eyes. Something about this was familiar

Gohan went at 13 again with a kick but it was slow and 1 grabbed his leg and punched him hard in the stomach and threw him a few feet away

"Gohan!"cried Kagome and Sango

Gohan began to clutch his chest and began to cough hard coughing up blood

Everyone gasped

"Hey guys...I don't wanna make a scene... but I think I'm dying."said Gohan

"Gohan what's wrong?"asked Kagome

"Chest hurts...hard to breath."

"Here take a senzu bean!"cried Miroku]

He then threw one and Gohan caught it

When Gohan ate it he then continued coughing

"It's not working!"cried Sango

Future Trunks' eyes widened realizing the symptoms

"Oh no...It can't be."he said

"What?"asked Inuyasha

"Gohan is sick from a deadly heart virus sickness."

"Heart sickness?"asked Sesshomaru

"Yes. His father,Goku, had it. In my time Goku died from it but later we were able to find a cure and treat him in Gohan's time. What I don't know is that how did he get it? "asked Future Trunks

Kagome then remembered

"Guys remember when gohan had that needle shot in his chest?"Kagome asked

"Of course! Damn it!We need to get him out of there."said Future Trunks

Gohan was then picked up and slammed into the ground with 13's hand around his throat

"NOW YOUR POWER IS MINE!"he cried as he drained Gohan's energy

"Gohan!"Kagome cried about to fire her arrow

Suddenly 13 was kicked hard in the face. He then skidded across the floor

Everyone looked to see Gohan's rescuer

There stood Tarble ready for the battle

"Sorry but the only person who's going to kill this fool is me..."he said

"Tarble!"cried Kikyo

"Hey Tarble..."said Gohan

"You can you let yourself get beaten by this scum?"asked Tarble

"Hey don't blame him! He's sick!"cried Goten

"That's not a good enough excuse. Saiyans are supposed to fight even if our bodies are rotting .You are a disgrace to our race."

"This guy..."said Inuyasha

"Looks like I screwed up."said Gohan smiling,"But I guess we're buddies then since you saved you give me a hand?"he asked

"Hmph."

Tarble then kicked him high enough for Future Trunks to catch him

"Thanks...best buddy"Gohan joked

"What should we do now?"asked Kagome

"I think it's best that he be taken back to the village. I'll go back also so I can treat him."said Kikyo

"Good idea. Take Kilala."said Sango

Future Trunks then put Gohan on Kilala's back

"I'll wann go back too, to take care of my brother,but I can't leave you guys"said Goten

Sango smiled,"Go on. We understand. Besides, Gohan saved my brother."she said

Goten smiled and went with them

Kilala flew as fast as she could with Goten slowing his pace so that she can keep up with him and so that he can watch his brother

Kikyo was sitting with Gohan laying down on her legs

He was breathing hard and clutching his chest in pain

"Hold on Gohan."she thought

After about 20 minutes they made it to Kaede's village

Kaede saw them come in and ran out of her house

"Kikyo what's wrong?"she asked

"There's no time to explain all the details. But Gohan is sick and we need all the treatment and healers we have!"cried Kikyo

Some of the men of the village carried Gohan into the house

Kohaku saw this and ran to the house.

"What's wrong with Gohan?"he asked

"He's sick."said Goten

Suddenly Gohan shouted,"Aaaagggghhhh!"

His chest was covered in pain

She ,Kikyo,and the healers began quickly

They began to use different enchantments to keep him alive but it didn't seem to help the pain

Gohan then grabbed Kikyo's arm and shouted,"PLEASE JUST KILL ME!"

"Gohan don't say something like that!"cried Goten with tears in his eyes

"Oh...I'm sorry Goten. Don't be scared. Everything's going to be okay."he said

"I can't lose Gohan too. I just can't."Goten thought

"You're going to be fine Gohan."said Kikyo as she continued to work

"Just hold on Gohan. Hold on."she thought
