"Time to wake up young one" Ryuu just started with hatred in his eyes at Naraku. "Don't look at your soon-to-be master like that. After all I've decided to be generous and make you my slave next week instead of tonight." Ryuu was shocked by this. He was up to something.

"Inuyasha how much further is this castle?" Kagome yelled in his ear. "About another 3 days" "What!!!!! we don't have that long, Who knows what'll happen to Ryuu by the time we get there" Inuyasha stopped and let Kagome get off his back. Kagome started to cry again thinking the worst had happened to her son. Inuyasha held her in his arms trying to stop her crying. "It's alright, he'll be ok, remember he is 1/4 demon, he won't give in without a fight" "Yeah and Naraku is half-demon, plus he is bigger than Ry...." Something clicked inside her head. "Inuyasha, Naraku is half-demon!!!!" Kagome said excitedly. "Yeah so??" "So, what happens to half-demon one night of every month?" "They turn into a human!!!. Kagome you are a genius!" He picked her up off the ground and kissed her.

"Ewww get a room" Shippo yelled. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo had just got up to them right when Inuyasha kissed Kagome. The tried to keep up with Inuyasha but couldn't, especially Sango who was trying to keep up with her boomerang. Miroku saw Sango falling behind so he ran carrying Sango, Shippo, and the boomerang. "Guys I know how he can defeat Naraku! Kagome just figured it out! Naraku is a half-demon, so we just wait untill he is weak and then we kill him!" "No good" Miroku said. "We don't know when his night is, what if it's the same night as yours? We can't defeat him if you are human too. We'll need another strong person." "I got another idea!" Kagome cried out. Inuyasha kissed her again. "That's one of the reasons I love you, because you're so smart" Kagome laughed nervously, ~He won't think I'm so smart when he finds out what my idea is~

"This is your worse idea yet Kagome!!!!" "Awww come on Inuyasha, you know we need him for this, there is no one else" "No I refuse to work with him!" "Fine I'll go get him myself, I wonder if he has gotten any cuter in the last 7 years?" Kagome smiled knowing that would work. Inuyasha's jealousy got the better of him, and he went with Kagome. She entered the cave, hoping that he was still here. "Kouga-kun are you in here?" "Kagome?" Kouga just walked into the cave to see his woman standing there. "Kagome! Is that mutt-face finally dead? Are you free to love me now?" Kagome sighed. "Kouga-kun I didn't love you 7 years ago and I don't love you now. And no Inuyasha is not dead. I came here to ask you a favor"

"Does it have anything to do with working together with that mutt-face?" "I can hear you ya know and my name is Inuyasha" "Kouga-kun please help us, Naraku has my son, and we need someone strong to take him down because, for one night only Naraku will lose his powers" "So why don't you get mutt-face to get your son back?" "Because mutt....I mean Inuyasha might lose his powers on the same night" Kouga let it all sink in. ~So she wants me to go and rescue her son for her.....wait a minute son?~ "Y...you have a son now? Is that mutt-face his father?" "Stop calling me mutt-face!!!!" "I'm sorry Kagome I can't help you" Kouga turned his back. ~She has a son, and that dog is the father~ Kouga was heartbroken. "Kouga-kun please!!" Kouga just walked out. ~Now what?~ Kagome thought.

Later that night Ryuu was sleeping when he heard his cell door open. He bolted awake fearing it was Naraku, but was surprised to find not Naraku, but Kohaku. "Come on let's go" Kohaku called. Ryuu was unsure of what was going on, was this a trick? "Come on do you want to get out of here or not?" "Why should I trust you? You are his slave!" "Everynight when there is a full moon, Naraku turns into a human, He can't keep control of me when he is human, but he doesn't know that, now come on I'll get you out of here" Ryuu didn't have to be told twice. The two boys quietly snuck through the castle and made in to the gates. "What about you? Aren't you coming?" Ryuu asked Kohaku. "I wish I could" he said sadly, "But Naraku will get way to suspicious if I go too" "Good luck friend and thank you" With that Ryuu took of into the night even though he had no idea where he was going. Kohaku smiled as he left. ~I better get back to my cell, it'll be morning soon"

Ryuu traveled for about an hour before he realized he had no idea where he was or which way he came from. He heard humming comming from behind some bushes. He looked through the bushes and found a young teenage girl filling a jug with water. ~Wow she is beautiful!~ Ryuu drooled wondering who this young girl was. "Mister Sesshomaru is this enough water?" "Yes Rin that is plently of water" ~So her name is Rin but who is this Sesshomaru guy she is talking too?~

Ryuu decided to make himself known. He came out of the bushes to get a better look at this Sesshumaru. What he saw scared him. He could tell Sesshomaru was a demon by the markings on his face. After his encounter with Naraku he decided all demons were evil. But how strong could this one be? He only had one arm. Rin was the first to notice Ryuu, "Hello who are you?" she asked him. "My name is Ryuu" Sesshomaru now noticed the young boy with the silvery-blue hair, much like his own.

~What's this?~ He started to sniff the air. ~I smell my brother's scent, plus that women he is always with, that must be their son.~ "You boy!" he called out to Ryuu. "Don't address me demon!" Ryuu yelled. Sesshomaru smiled. "Tell me boy, why do you hate demons when you your self are one" "You're lying" "Oh I think not, you smell like my weakling half-brother who is in fact half-demon" "Stop lying! All demons are evil! And I know my father is not evil" "All demons aren't evil" Rin cut in. "Mister Sesshomaru is a demon and he brought me back to life, when I was killed by wolves"

Ryuu looked more closely, he could not sense any evil in his heart. He could tell he once was evil but not now. "Ok I belive you, you said my father was your half-brother, does that mean that you know where he is?" Ryuu asked hopefully. He really wanted to see his mom again and his dad. "I do not, but we shall look for him, I don't want to have to look after another human" With that he called his two dragons. "Lord Sesshomaru, where do you wish to go" Jaken said from inside the carriage. "Find Inuyasha" he said after Ryuu and Rin climbed in. Jaken was going to object but then he didn't want to get hurt today so he did as he was told. Up in the air they went. They looked for an hour and a half untill they found the gang resting in a field.

Inuyasha had just ordered everyone they were stopping in the field for tonight. Miroku and Sango were already fast asleep. So were Shippo and Kagome, Shippo laying near Sango and Kagome asleep on Inuyasha shoulder. Inuyasha was just about to fall asleep when he smelled a familar smell, ~Sesshomaru~ Inuyasha carefully moved Kagome so not to wake her, after that he drew Tetsusaiga and waited. Sesshomaru landed a few feet in front of Inuyasha. "Put your sword away brother, I have no desire to fight you today, I have come to return something that belongs to you" Ryuu came running out from behind his half-uncle. "Daddy!!!" Ryuu cried running to him. "Ry...Ryuu?" He put his sword down as Ryuu came running into his arms.

Kagome awoke hearing Ryuu's voice. "Ryuu!!!!!!!" She cried crushing him in her arms. "But how....how did you escape Naraku?" "Another one of Naraku's slaves let me escape, he said that when Naraku becomes human he can't control him anymore" "And this was tonight?" "Yeah!" Inuyasha looked up at the sky to see a full moon. ~That's it! Naraku must turn human every night there is a full moon!~ His joy was short lived though as he realized that in about an hour, the sun would rise and Naraku would be demon again. ~Damn~ "Kagome when is the next full moon?" "Three days" "Damn by the time we get there the night will practically be over!"

"I'll help you" a voice said coldly from behind him. Kagome looked towards the voice, "Kouga-kun? I thought you weren't going to help us?" "I'm not doing this for him, I'm doing it because I despise Naraku. Did you notice any of my clan in the cave?" "No" "That's because Naraku killed them all just to get to my shards." Kouga looked behind him and saw Rin looking at him with huge frightened eyes. "What is your problem girl? Do you fear me?" "I.....I remember you, you were the one who killed that man that was in my hut! It was your wolf clan that killed everyone in my villiage, It was your wolf clan that killed me!"
