Summer Days

Author's Note: This is my first Inuyasha fic so I may get a few facts wrong since I've just started watching this show from the second episode and so far I'm up to the 20h one, so please go easy, my facts may be wrong., and I hope some of my spelling is right. The gang has now reached Miyamoto's place and is ready for battle. or so they think.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters! But I do own Inu! YEAH! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~* Chapter 23

Inuyasha looked over his shoulder and saw that the others were close behind on Kirara. Kagome was on his back and seemed to be a little more nervous than she was letting them know. He focused ahead as they came closer. He heard Chiisai in the back sating that they could go on without him, but Miroku didn't let him go. "We're getting there, Kagome. Are you ready?" Inuyasha asked and she nodded her head silently, her arms tightly around him.

"How do we get in?" asked Miroku and shoved Chiisai forward. The minion stumbled forward and they stood forward. He held his hands up and began chanting something. The stone door slowly began opening as he chanted.

"Insane." said Kagome. Sango nodded in agreement and the Chiisai nodded.

"Go on." He said. Inuyasha frowned and pulled out the Tetsusiaga and was about to enter when Inu shoved past them and grabbed hold of Chiisai.

"What are you trying to pull!" he yelled. He scowled and threw the minion on the ground before running into the castle.

"INU! Get back here!" yelled Kagome and went running after him. Inuyasha swore under his breath.

"Let's go get hem. It's obvious the boy has his mother's intelligence." Muttered the half demon.

"I dunno Inuyasha, that reminds me more of you." Informed Miroku, but Inuyasha chose to ignore that comment and had Chiisai lead them in.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome stopped and took a deep breath before looking around the dark room she had chased Inu into. They were going to be in a lot more trouble if Miyamoto managed to find them before Inuyasha and the others. She looked around, trying to find the little boy. "INU!" she called, her voice echoing off the walls. The boy didn't answer, which made her even more nervous.

"Kagome!" she jumped and turned around. Inuyasha and the others came running up to her. "Where's Inu at" Inuyasha asked.

"I don't know. He just vanished." She answered. Suddenly, candles around the walls began to light and creatures like Chiisai began to show up.

"Creepy." Said Shippo, hiding behind Miroku's leg.

"Who are you and why are you in our master's home!" called one, pointing a scrawny finger in their direction. One came up to his side and whispered in his ear. He looked back at them, looking them up and down. "Ah, you came for your brat." He sneered.

"What did you do to him?" asked Kagome, Inuyasha stepped forward. He main minion snapped his fingers and five came out carrying an unconscious Inu.

"Put him down!" ordered Inuyasha.

"No, I think I'll keep him." Came a drawling voice. Hey all looked up in the direction the voice had come from. A tall hooded figure stood at the top on a staircase. All the creatures began to bow as he came down the stairs.

"M'lord." they all chanted. He stood in front of them as they bowed on their knees and chanted his name.

"That's enough boys." He said and they backed away.

"Oh wait, don't tell me. You're Miyamoto." Said Inuyasha.

"So glad you've noticed." He answered. Inuyasha scowled. He lifted up his wrinkled and burnt looking hand and pulled his hood off. He had the face of a young man, markings of the sides of his face and long dark hair that was a blue color. His eyes were cold and a piercing blue. "I figured it would be an honor for you to see me."

"You're full of shit." Muttered Inuyasha. He laughed and turned to Inu, using his hand to make he boy magically lift off the ground.

"Don't touch him." Yelled Kagome. Sango quickly held her back as Inu slowly began to wake up, a dazed looked in his eyes.

"You see, his boy is more trouble then you'll believe." Said Miyamoto. "He managed to get his hands on the Shikon jewel his mother had specifically told him not to touch, and somehow managed to toss me a few years into the future to get he said jewel. Most unfortunate the boy managed to get away with the jewel and not only tossed me back to my original time, but brought himself as well."

"What does that have to do with why you want us dead?" asked Miroku. Miyamoto looked at him and smirked.

"Well dear monk, this boy is considered your nephew. He's a very bright boy for someone of his age. Love by all and loyal to his family, though a mere quarter demon." He let Inu sit on the ground, his eyes still unfocused. Inuyasha growled and gripped his sword tighter. "This boy has more powers than he's aware of and I can't let him live. or anyone else that may allow his birth or these powers to be trained."

"so you plan on killing us." Said Sango. Miyamoto smiled.

'still as smart and beautiful now as you are in the other time." He said and turned to Inu, examining the boy carefully. "The boy blames himself for the death of his parents and wants to avenge their death. He's trying to hard not to get you killed by me. but what's stopping him from killing you himself." He said and placed a finger to the boy's head.

"Keep him out of this!" yelled Inuyasha and attacked. Miyamoto quickly moved and Inuyasha continued to attack him. Kagome ran up to Inu and began shaking him.

"Inu!" she called, shaking his shoulders and abandoning her bow and arrow. Sango came up at her side, trying to get the boy back to himself.

"What's wrong with him." Just as she asked this, Inu shoved past them and grabbed her bow and arrow, pointing it at them.

"What are you doing?" asked Kagome. He looked down for a second and then looked back up with tears in his eyes.

"You never loved me, did you mama. That's why you let those demons kill you so easily."

"Inu, what a re you talking about?" asked Kagome, trying to approach him, but he wouldn't let her before letting the arrow go and having it graze her cheek.

"You never loved me! You wanted to die so that you wouldn't have to deal with me anymore." He yelled, a new arrow ready to let go. "You could have easily killed those demons that attacked you that night. but you didn't. I caused so much trouble for you that you waned to die so you'd never have to deal with me anymore. You and dad." Kagome looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"That's not true." she said. "Inu. how are we suppose to defend ourselves if we were sleep?" she asked. The boy looked at her, the bow slowly lowering. "You're my pride and joy. why would I want to die so I could never see the boy I'm so proud of?" she asked.

"You're proud of me?" he asked quietly. Kagome smiled and went slowly up to him, taking the bow and arrows away from him gently and making him look up at her, tears flowing freely down his cheek.

"You're your father all over again." She old him. "Smart, strong and stubborn." She answered with a smile.

"Do you love me?" Inu asked quietly.

"Always." She promised and he threw his arms around her neck, hugging her tightly.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Sand still and fight like the demon you are!" yelled Inuyasha angrily. Miyamoto smirked and dodged most of his attacks. Something had suddenly caught his eye and he growled in anger. Inuyasha took this chance and managed to slice the mangled hand off. Miyamoto stopped and looked at where the blood flowed freely.

"Nice for a half breed, but I'm afraid I have to leave." Inuyasha looked at him in confusion.

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?" he asked. Without warning, Miyamoto punched Inuyasha in the face and while he was distracted, he flew at Kagome, Sango and Inu.

"Kagome, watch out!" called Miroku, who had been fighting off the minions. Inuyasha looked and swore, trying to get to Kagome in time. She grabbed her bow and tried to shoot him, but when she did this, he grabbed hold of Inu.

"It's been real fun, playing with all of you, but I've got my prize." He said. Kagome shot an arrow at him, but he moved. "Time to go boys." He called and the minions that had surrounded Miroku began vanishing. Inu was in Miyamoto's arms struggling. "Hope to hear from you soon." He said and vanished just as Inuyasha attacked. Everything was silent except for he popping sound from the burning torches and the dripping from the blood that had splattered when Inuyasha had attacked Miyamoto. Kagome suddenly fell to her knees.

"He took him." she said quietly. Her head lowered and her hair blocking her face. Sango looked at the guys before getting on her knees in front of Kagome.

"It's going to be ok." She whispered and Kagome instantly began sobbing into Sango's shoulder. Sango put her arms around her and began patting her on the back, looking very sympathetic and as if she was going to cry as well. Inuyasha and Miroku stood in the back.

"Don't worry Kagome. We'll get him back." promised Inuyasha as he came up and kneeled down next to Sango. Kagome looked up at him with tears shinning in her brown eyes. She instantly put her arms around his neck and cried even harder. They all sat in the old castle for a while, allowing Kagome to cry freely.
