Chapter ten- the plot thickens

Disclaimer: same as EVER OTHER CHAPTER OR EVER OTHER FANFIC AT THIS WHOLE SITE, ahem, anyways, TA dA

Author's notes: after reading over my story, I decided that the plot was going nowhere, and that chapters 8 and 9 were pretty much pointless, but being the brain child that I am, I have discovered a way to make the plot, thick, like mud, or pudding or something...whatever, yeah I know what I'm talking about heheheheh.

Kaede had had no idea as to how Inu-yasha changed. Kagome was stumped, how had he changed, why could he remember anything, and why was he so damn cute as a kid? Kagome sat in the hut, she couldn't sleep she could only think of her dilemma.

"This is so confusing," she said out loud, but softly, "how can I change him back? What if he's stuck like this forever? I can't believe I'm saying this but I miss the old Inu-yasha."

Unknown to her, though, was that a little hanyou with tears in his eyes snuck out the door and into the night.

He walked silently for awhile, not knowing what to do, "I thought Kagome- San liked me, I guess no one likes me..."

"Ah does the poor little hanyou feel unloved?" came a voice behind him, Inu- yasha turned and saw Naraku, his smile was so huge it scared Naraku slightly, "what the hell?"

"Monkey boy! I missed cha! How's it been going?" the hanyou asked as he walked around the albino baboon wearing man.

"Don't touch me," Naraku gritted his teeth as the boy reached for his cloak, "I want you to come with me, for you see, we love you, not that ignorant girl, what was her name?"

"Kagome-San?"

"Yes, Kagome-San, you see I have two...um daughters that would love to meet you, Kagura and Kanna, I'm sure you'll get along great, and you can see Kikyo."

"Kikyo?"

"Ah yes, do you remember her?"

Inu-yasha shook his head, "I only remember seeing her with you, and she scared me."

"Ah but you don't have to be afraid of her, Inu-yasha, for you see, she's your friend, not like Kagome-San, who just has you around because she HAS to have you around, we want you to be around."

Inu-yasha rubbed his head, "you confussy me."

Naraku fumed from within his cloak, "then let me rephrase that for your putty brain to comprehend, I mean, uh, let me say this in a way you'd understand: YOU ME NOW GO!"

Inu-yasha glanced over his shoulder towards the hut, "Kagome-San don't like me?"

"She was just telling me yesterday how annoying it was to have you around," Naraku smirked as he saw tears falling down the boy's cheeks, "it hurts, I know, feeling like you don't belong when you were so sure you liked someone."

"I loved Kagome-San, she was nice to me, she made me laugh," Inu-yasha whimpered, "dun't monkey boy love me?"

Naraku stiffened, "Oh course I do," he gritted out through his lying teeth, "Kagura and Kanna will love you too, all you have to do is come with me, NOW COME!"

Inu-yasha shot once last glance at the hut then looked at Naraku, "ok..." he said timidly.

"Excellent...." Naraku laughed evilly leaving the hanyou to eye him wearily.

Kagome awoke the next morning and looked around the hut, she yawned sleepily and move Shippou aside. Kaede lay in the corner, Shippou near her. Miroku lay very close to Sango and Sango was cuddled up near Kirara.

Wait she thought to herself, OH NO WHERES INU-YASHA?

She shot up and knocked down a cooking pot, awaking everyone in the hot, Kagome didn't bother to say sorry because she was rummaging around searching for the tiny hanyou.

"Kagome-Sama, may I ask what you are doing at such a time of day?" Miroku yawned and stretched his arms towards Sango, who was still half awake and allowed it.

"where's inu-yasha he's missing," Kagome said as she started throwing stuff out of her backpack searching for the midget child.

Sango yawned and finally realized what Miroku was doing, HENTAI!" she screeched as she pounded Miroku into the ground, "Kagome-Chan perhaps he's ouside?"

Kagome rushed outside at once and started rampaging along everyhouse bursting into huts where the sleeping forms would throw stuff at her, making her run out with bumps on her head.

"INU-YASHA!" she yelled all around her, searching for the hanyou, "oh where can he be?"

Soon the others joined her in her search, but to no avail.

Kagome began to sob against Sango, "this is all my fault, I should have watched him better, what if he's dead, or worse? Being tortured? I could never live with myself, Sango what am I going to do?"

Sango couldn't really respond and could only pat her friend on the back, "we'll find him Kagome-Chan, have faith, Inu-yasha knows that you care for him, he wouldn't wonder off on purpose unless he was joking."

"Well, it isn't funny anymore, I miss him, I'm worried, and what if something horrible happened to him?"
((AN: note to self: Kagome needs lessons in how to be a mother...))

Naraku's head throbbed from where the hanyou had been jumping, "Inu-yasha," he tried to say kindly, but venom still lingered in his voise, "Get the hell off of me before I punch your face in."

Instead of scaring the boy, like Naraku had hoped, the boy only giggled and started pounding on the back of his head with his fists, "Monkey boy is funny."

"For the last time, it's a baboon."

"Monkey."

"Baboon."

"I thought you said that was the last time."

"Shut up you annoying little child," Naraku hated being wrong, especially to a little annoying hanyou, "and I thought you were troublesome when you were older, damn it."
"Monkey?"
"What the hell do you want?"
"Where are we going?"
"To my castle, now shut up!"
"Why?"
"GOD DAMN YOU!"
"Now now, monkey boy, restrain yourself, there are children in the room," Inu-yasha said, him smirking his smirk that he had at an older age.
"I will forever regret making you a child, you know that boy?" Naraku scuffed, but then grinned, "It will all be worth it when that woman of yours hands over the jewel shards."
"jewel shards? What's that?" the boy asked timidly as he poked Naraku in the ear.
"Shut up I'm not telling you! BWHAAA HAAA HAAAA HAAAA HAAAA HAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA **insert gasps for air here** AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Inu-yasha rolled his eyes, "you call that an evil laugh, pwease!"

"Oh and I suppose you could do better?"
"Oh course!"
"Fine then show me, punk!"
The hanyou only smirked.

AN: so it was Naraku who did it eh? Who saw that coming? I just came up with that, it was going to be Kikyo at first then I changed my mind and decided to make it fluffy, but changed my mind again, so we have to have the baddie of the series do it. Naraku is annoying but without him, all the other cute guys wouldn't be so cute, you have to compare them to Naraku who looks like a bulimic and wears an albino baboon, I should really have Inu- Chan burn it, yeah next chapter baboon pelt's gonna be burned or something evil like that.
