(Ah, back home again, but who should appear but Naraku! Kagome thinks her adventure with Sess-chan is over but the youkai-lord has other plans! This is the final chapter! As always, Inuyasha and co belong to Takahashi Rumiko ::bows:: et al.)
Five Days In Tokyo - or - Sesshoumaru's Unlikely Visit - Seventeen
The three of them landed with a thump at the bottom of the well, and although Sesshoumaru was quite tempted to tear Hadori to shreds right then and there, he was too close to Kagome. He would make himself wait for the right moment to attack the upstart weakling hanyou. He would not have his 'technology' to help him now.
"We need to climb up." Kagome said. Sesshoumaru knew that he could easily fly up to the top, but he did not wish to give away that his strength was returning. Instead, they followed Kagome up through the well. They climbed out and Hadori looked around speechless. It was just like he had once remembered it. The greeness of the grass, the clean crisp air.
"Kagome!!" She heard Inuyasha's voice from a distance. Why they had only disappeared moments before! But who was this stranger beside Kagome and Sesshoumaru? He ran towards them in a flash as Hadori stared at Inuyasha. As Inuyasha ran, he pulled out the Tetsusaiga, intending to take on Sesshoumaru. He stopped short of them and said with a growl, "Sesshoumaru, you bastard! If you hurt Kagome in any way - "
"Stop it, Inuyasha." Kagome snapped. "I'm okay." She glanced at the thin handcuff that was at her wrist. "Hadori, undo the cuffs. I got you here."
The man kept staring at Inuyasha however, ignoring Kagome's request. "So, you are my father.." Hadori murmured.
"Father?" Inuyasha spat. "Feh! What in the *@$% are you talking about!"
"I'm your son!" Hadori growled angrily, not noticing that Sesshoumaru had quickly taken a swipe at the chain link of the handcuff and had released Kagome from the connection.
"Son?" Inuyasha blinked. Come to think of it, he did look like him a little and - and -
"Ka - gome?" Inuyasha's eyes widened.
"Inuyasha.." A female voice said from behind him. Inuyasha spun around.
"Kikyou!"
"So you've come back.." Kikyou said softly to Kagome. "And you have a shard too. I think I will take that one too." She raised her bow and arrow at Kagome but before she could even release it, Sesshoumaru had pounced on the undead miko.
"Get OFF her, you bastard!!" Inuyasha leaped down upon Sesshoumaru, who quickly countered the Tetsusaiga with his own fang, and rolled away quickly.
Kikyou sat up, her dark eyes angry. Kagome could feel the Shikon shard in her breastbone pulse once more and she saw that Kikyou had the Shikon no Tama that she had stolen from her on it's fragile chain around her neck. Evidently the dark miko had fixed it. Kagome closed her eyes to everything - Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru fighting, Kikyou getting up again to fire another arrow at her and Hadori's shock as he witnessed the scene before him. A glow came from Kagome's breastbone and it became brighter as the necklace around Kikyou's neck floated out and away from her and pointed to Kagome.
"The Shikon no Tama!" Kikyou exclaimed. She narrowed her eyes at Kagome. "You will not best me!" She aimed her arrow and fired directly at Kagome. However, at the same time, the partial Shikon no Tama chain snapped away from Kikyou's neck and it hurtled towards Kagome's breastbone, barely beating the speed of the speeding arrow.
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were still fighting, but Sesshoumaru rose above the fray and said to his half-brother.
"You fool.." Sesshoumaru sneered. "You would let your dead lover kill Kagome!"
"Huh?" Inuyasha turned but it was too late. He saw the arrow hit Kagome squarely at her breastbone.
"Kagome, no!" Inuyasha cried, running to her.
The blinding light from the Shikon no Tama made them all shield their eyes and when they could see once more, Kagome was simply standing there, and there was no sign of the Shikon no Tama at all.
"K - Kagome?" Inuyasha stammered.
Kikyou frowned. "That should have killed - the Shikon no Tama!" She exclaimed, feeling her neck. It was gone! The dark miko's eyes narrowed. It was within Kagome!
Hadori stared at Kagome and then at Inuyasha and Kikyou. "She has more power than I would have imagined - more power than you, mother and father.."
Kikyou ventured out from where she had been standing. "Mother?"
Hadori smirked. "You're my parents - Inuyasha and Kikyou."
"WHAT?" The two exclaimed at once.
Sesshoumaru, seeing that Kagome was more than safe, floated down to where she stood and posessively placed a hand on her arm. He smirked at his half-brother and Kikyou. Stupid idiots.
"You abandoned me.." Hadori scowled. "Abandoned me to the care of humans who hated me, despised me!" He clenched his hands in anger.
Inuyasha looked like he was going to pass out. "Look - there's no way I can be your father."
"Nor I your mother.." Kikyou said flatly.
"Kukukuku.." Another voice joined them. They all turned and saw the familar visage of Naraku, clad in his baboon pelt.
"Naraku.." Inuyasha growled lowly in his throat.
"I came to collect the Shikon shards from Kikyou, but you.." Naraku peered at where Kagome stood, "Beat me to them."
"Who - is this?" Hadori demanded.
"You - !" Naraku exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
"Wha - ?" Hadori backed away a step. There was something familar about this man who was not a man.
"How did you get away, Hadorri?" Naraku came closer as both Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru stepped in front of Kagome.
"I - don't know you!" Hadori made himself stand a bit taller. "I am Hadori Takeieo! Son of Inuyasha and Kikyou, grandson to the great dog-demon Inutashio!"
To everyone's surprise, Naraku started to laugh.
"I knew you were mad but that is pathetic!" Naraku was still laughing.
Hadori yelled, "Stop laughing at me!"
Naraku floated above Hadori, still completely ignoring the others and said, "You pathetic baka. You're but one of my offspring - one of many pieces of Naraku, and the one who held a tiny speck of - " Naraku grimanced, "Respect for Inuyasha and even Kikyou.."
"They're my parents!" Hadori yelled.
Sesshoumaru thought of what Saburo had told him about Inuyasha being absored into Naraku. Evidently that was not the truth - or at least he hoped so.
"Kukukuku.." Naraku shook his head. "Stupid, stupid! I created you and what did you do? Ran away before I could get your heart - something that I've rectified in my other offspring."
Hadori visibly shivered. "No, I am - Hadori Takeieo! I am - the most influental man in Tokyo - in the world!"
Naraku sneered. "You're nothing but part of Naraku.."
Sesshoumaru suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Hadori by the throat. With ease, his claws dug into his throat and Hadori's life blood spilled out. The youkai-lord dropped Hadori and readied himself to do battle with Naraku.
For a moment all was silent as Hadori gasped on the ground, his eyes wide. Naraku stared at Hadori with interest, watching the disbelief in his eyes.
"Baka.." Naraku sneered as his arms enlongated into tentacles. Effortlessly he scooped up the struggling Hadori and absorbed him, his scream of terror echoing through the forest. When Naraku was through, he said, "You gave me amusement, so today I shall spare your lives." He gazed at Kagome for a moment and said, "But you..you have one half of the Shikon and I the other half.." He chuckled softly. "I will have it yet, pure little miko. Come with me, Kikyou.." Naraku grabbed Kikyou and together they left, disappearing into the air, leaving Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha and Kagome.
Inuyasha growled lowly in his throat.
"Be quiet." Sesshoumaru said roughly. "You are far too impatient."
"What?" Inuyasha glared at Sesshoumaru. "You bastard! Come on! We'll fight to the - hey! Get your hands off Kagome!"
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled.
"Huh?" He stopped short.
"OSUWARI!"
"OW!" Inuyasha was slammed to the ground, his face in the grass.
Sesshoumaru chuckled.
"Why - you.." Inuyasha raised his head.
"OsurwariosuwariosuwariOSUWARI!" Kagome chanted.
"OWOWOWOWOW!YOU BITCH!"
"I could - kill him for you." Sesshoumaru said nonchalantly.
"Ah - no..that's - okay, Sesshoumaru." Kagome smiled into his eyes, half sad that their adventure was over. She supposed things would be back to normal now - he trying to kill them to get to Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga. It was a shame it had to end.
"Kagome.." Sesshoumaru said, his voice low and sensual.
"Hm..?" She murmured as he lifted her face up to his.
"Do you remember when I said that you were mine?" Sesshoumaru's voice was hypnotic.
"SESSHOUMARU!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Osuwari.." Kagome murmured, still under Sesshoumaru's spell.
THUD! OW!!!!
Sesshoumaru kissed her deeply and Kagome melted into that kiss as he slipped an arm around her waist. So engrossed in the kiss, she did not realize what he was slipping around her neck. He parted from her, and watched with satisfaction her dreamy expression. No, the hanyou mutt did not deserve her.
He, on the other hand, did.
He walked away a short distance from her and stopped. "Kagome.." He said to her.
"Nani?" Her voice trembled.
"Come."
Kagome gasped as she felt her legs taking her directly to Sesshoumaru! It was then she realized that HE had slipped a cursed necklace upon her neck and that only HE could take it off!
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!" Kagome shrieked as she tried to stop herself.
"Come!" Sesshoumaru fought the urge to laugh.
"Ahhhhh!!" Kagome couldn't stop! She just kept following Sesshoumaru!
Inuyasha had recovered somewhat from all his 'sits' and looked wide eyed at Kagome following Sesshoumaru.
"You bastard!" The hanyou yelled and started to charge at Sesshoumaru but then -
"Osuwari!"
WUMP! "AAAHHH!! BITCH!"
"Sesshoumaru!" Kagome pleaded. "Not this!"
"Come!" He could feel the twitch of his lips as laughter threatened once more to spill from his lips. That she was commanding that baka hanyou to sit was a good sign.
"KAA - GO - ME!!" Inuyasha shrieked, still in his sitting position.
"SHUT UP!" Kagome yelled back. "I can't help it!!"
"Come.." Sesshoumaru smirked as he finally stopped. She walked right into his arms, her expression angry.
"Where did you get that necklace and WHY are you doing this?" Kagome asked.
Sesshoumaru chuckled as he wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist. It was time to go home and he did not feel like having the hanyou follow them.
With ease, he flew up into the air and called upon his otherworldly conveyance to take them home.
"Sesshou?" Kagome looked troubled as she saw Inuyasha growing smaller in the distance. Already the hanyou was up and yelling, waving the Tetsusaiga at them.
Finally the youkai-lord surrendered to his laughter as Kagome could only stare at him.
