AN: Yay I got over my writer's block enough to write another chapter. I have no clue how I got the idea for this chapter. Really weird, but hope you all enjoy.

CH: 8 Who are you?

After almost a week of Naraku not letting Kagome get very far from the bed because of the effects her heat had on him, the two went back to training. Not that the activities that they had been participating in had been a work out in itself.

"Can we stop now?" Kagome said as she kneeled on the training room floor panting. Naraku had been pushing her harder than ever. Kagome complained a lot, but she knew that he was doing it because he didn't want her to get hurt against their next opponent.

"No." Naraku answered and Kagome groaned. He came at her again and she barely rolled out of the way.

"If I recall you were the one who could barely walk away from our last battle." Kagome stated.

"I got distracted." Naraku explained.

"I thought you were the one who said that I'm not allowed to get distracted in a battle." Kagome said while narrowly dodging another one of his attacks.

"That's right you're not allowed to get distracted." He said and then finally pinned her to the ground. "I on the other hand can do as I please." He proved his statement when he began to lick and nip at Kagome's neck.

"Hey you, we're supposed to be training. Didn't you get enough of that last week?" When Kagome saw her chance to get away she slipped from his grasp and ran to the door. "I'm gonna go take a bath. You can stay and train all you like." She said with a smirk to him and then ran out the door.

Naraku sat on the floor amused at her retreat. Then his smirk faded. "Kagura." The mentioned hanyou walked into the room. "So where is or prey?"

"There is a line of destroyed villages heading east. Those who have survived say a giant youkai attacked and kept asking about a girl."

'No doubt Kagome, but why is it after her?' Naraku thought. With a wave of his hand he dismissed Kagura and then stood. He walked down the hall to take a bath and perhaps do other things. 'Now that the jewel is complete I can become a full youkai. Then I will easily destroy of that pest and rule the world with my Kagome.' He smirked at the thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay the well is destroyed. I can't go to the feudal area and help them from that beast. The future is already starting to change." The person talking to them selves looked at an area far off where Tokyo tower once stood. Instead there was some sort of space anomaly. In it was a picture of pure destruction.

"He's going to kill them unless I can fix something. That bastard! He couldn't stop them in the future so now he's trying to stop them in the past. I need to find another way to get back there." The voice had become incredibly frustrated.

The figure made his way through the crowds of people who had gathered to look at the anomaly. "Where do I find a portal?" Then he looked back in the anomaly. "If that's a different future then perhaps the portal isn't destroyed in that future."

He ran back to the anomaly, but was stopped by the police. They had made a barricade around the area. He wasn't about to get stopped. He decided on a more secretive approach so that no one would go in after him. He went to the side and hid in an alley. Chanting a spell to hide himself he reemerged and walked silently pass everyone without their notice. 'I definitely have to remember to thank mom for that spell.'

'Here goes...well...everything actually." He groaned and then jumped through the barrier between possible futures. What met his eyes was worse than he had thought. Nothing but destruction. From what his mother had told him about the feudal ages this was a total massacre. 'No doubt all that bastards fault.'

He ran to where he knew the well was. He gave a sigh of relief when he saw it was still intact. 'This whole two future thing is screwy. I seriously need to fix this.'

He went up to the well feeling its power as he got closer. 'Oh Kami I hope this works.' He jumped in and felt a warm blue power envelop him. Looking up he saw nothing but rubble above him. 'That's right the other side is still destroyed. This is gonna be fun.' He thought sarcastically and began to dig himself out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Finally the outside world." Kagome said happily and twirled around in circles feeling the suns warm rays on her skin.

Naraku just stood on the side waiting for her to finish her foolishness. She finished soaking in the sun and turned to look at him and gave him a bright smile. He smirked back at her and lifted his arm in an invitation to her.

Kagome walked over to him and grabbed his arm. "Okay, let's go."

"Remember if the battle is too much you have to leave." Naraku reminded her as her rose to the sky with her in his arms.

"Yeah yeah." Kagome said. Both knew that there was no way should would leave even if it meant her death.

They flew over Inu Yasha's forest and the village and Naraku felt Kagome stiffen. He tightened his grip on her. He thought it was because of her memories and it partially was, but not completely. "I sense something." She said.

"What is it?" Naraku asked fully ready to attack if it turned out to be hostile.

"I don't know. Nothing evil, just different."

"How can you sense anything evil with me so close to you." Naraku said.

Kagome knew it was true. Even though the hanyou had warmed up towards her, she could still feel an incredibly evil aura coming off him. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the power she had felt. "It's coming from...the God Tree?"

Naraku nodded and they landed. Over by the tree Kagome saw a figure standing looking up at it. She could sense that he wasn't a ningen, but there was something strangely familiar about him. She looked at him for a few minutes before deciding to approach. He had long black hair tied back in a long braid. He was tall and seemed well built. Definitely nice looking, but obviously male.

She walked up to him after telling Naraku to stay behind. He tried to respond, but she gave him a look that said she knew what she was doing. He of course being Naraku didn't accept that, but she warned him that she didn't think that the person would talk if he was too near. "Be quick." Naraku stated and made sure his eyes never left her and was fully ready to grab her should the stranger do anything.

"I was wondering when you would decide to come over." The stranger said as she got near. Neither said anything for a bit as Kagome looked up at the tree. She remembered all the things that had happened there. When she had first met Inu Yasha, how she had sat him out of a tree to heal his wounds and Kaede had caught them in a compromising situation, Kagome had decided that was the Inu Yasha she would forever remember and hold in her heart. The one that had dropped his sword and apologized for hurting her, not the one that had tried to kill her.

"So many things have happened and it all started here." Kagome said softly as if in awe of the tree before her.

"I know. You told me a million stories about this place." The boy next to her responded. Kagome looked up at him then and noticed his dark blue eyes looking back at her.

"Do I know you?" Kagome asked. She felt like she had met him or was meant to meet him in a way.

The boy shook his head. "You haven't met me and yet in a sense you have."

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked.

He looked back up at the tree and spoke. "I didn't believe your stories when you told me that when you were fifteen you went through the well and fought evil only to fall in love with it instead. You told me about Inu Yasha with sadness in your eyes even after all those years. I went to the shrine one day and saw you as you once were as you are now and I couldn't believe it. You were so young, so naïve." Not once did his gaze leave the tree.

Kagome couldn't disagree. She knew that when she had first come she was naïve. She still knew she was a little, but all these words made her only wonder more who was standing before her.

"You know if I had said that to you last time I saw you, you would have hit me upside my head." He said with a small laugh.

"Who are you?"

He looked back at her and seemed to be fighting a battle with himself of whether or not to tell her. "I got here through the well."

"But the well is broken."

"Hai it was. It's a long story, but let's just say that I know you and I came to warn you."

"About what? Who are you?" Kagome was getting a bit aggravated.

"The creature that killed you family, you never told me about him so I wasn't sure if he was meant to come here. After the future began to change I still didn't know if he was meant to come back here, but I knew that I had to come and stop him from killing you. So perhaps he was and I was meant to follow. I think that because I'm sure if he hadn't come you wouldn't have gotten together with fa-Naraku."

Kagome just looked at him confused. "Tell me who you are."

"Okay, but promise you won't tell him. Don't want to screw up history too much." He said with a smirk. Kagome nodded. "I..." He didn't really know how to explain it. He put a hand light on her stomach and she looked at him strangely. "Let's say, you'll meet me for the real first time in about nine months."

Realization dawned on Kagome and she didn't know what to say. "Your...your my son?"

"Hai you and my father, Naraku." He smiled at her confused look.

"So, what's your name?"

"Ryuichi."

"That's one of my..."

"Your favorite anime characters. Yeah I know. Who did you think named me?" Ryuichi said with a small smirk.

"So why are you here? I didn't really understand your musings." Kagome said a little embarrassed.

"I never thought I'd see the day you'd be embarrassed." Ryuichi said with a laugh.

"Hey that's no way to talk to your mother."

"Yep, now that sounds like you." Ryuichi said and looked back up at the tree.

"Youkai aren't actually dead in the time you come from as you'll come to know, just I hiding. Living out there lives as normal as possible. Some don't and are the cause of Bigfoot, Lockness, and UFO sightings. You made it out pretty well I think. Had a bunch of kids over the centuries of which I'm the oldest."

"Wait you mean that I live to see my time?"

Ryuichi nodded. "I'm not sure I should be telling you more then needed. To begin with, the demon's name is Waruryo. He hates the fact that although you and father are so strong you don't use your powers to destroy the world and bring it back to the way it is now."

"Okay now I know there's something wrong. Naraku being good?"

"He satisfies his evil with corporate style destruction and as he explained being evil gets tiring over 500 years."

"So why should I believe you?"

"Well, what can I tell you to make you believe me?" Ryuichi gave a smile as he thought of an idea. "Let's see, you came here when you were fifteen. You were pulled down by some mononoke and had the shikon no tama in your body. Ummm...Inu Yasha protected you after you shattered the jewel and you guys had to find the shards. You fell in love with him, but you never told me why you two never ended up together. Just something about him passing away. Is that enough or should I go on? Because I also know about that time you thought he was gonna kiss you and you pushed..." Kagome covered his mouth with her hand.

"Okay okay I believe you." Kagome sighed. I don't know why I would ever tell you something like that.

"So Naraku and I are still together in 500 years?" Kagome said a little skeptical.

"Of course. God you can't even get him to leave you alone. You would sneak out at night sometimes to get some fresh air and some alone time. He thinks every guy who touches you should die a horrible death. Which is what he's probably thinking about me right now." Ryuichi pointed out.

Kagome then remembered she had left Naraku a bit back and he probably had watched all their interactions. "Won't he be able to smell his blood in you?"

"Nope. You see this really strong miko taught me to cover things like that."

"Really and who was this miko?" Kagome said with a smirk.

"Someone really great. My best friend for almost 500 years." Ryuichi smiled at the one who would be his mother. 'She really hasn't changed much in 500 years. Still warm and friendly like then. I won't let that bastard hurt her.'

"We should tell him."

"Maybe later." Ryuichi said. "As for right now I need to help you kill Waruryo and make sure neither of you get hurt."

Kagome nodded though she did not like the idea of her son protecting her. She walked back over to Naraku with Ryuichi following. Naraku's gaze was on the boy making sure nothing happened.

"Ummm...Naraku, this is Ryuichi. He's after the same creature we are. I think we should have him join us." Kagome said hoping that Naraku wouldn't object like Inu Yasha had every time she suggested alliances.

"I think not." Naraku merely stated.

"I think the only way he'll let you is if you tell him who you are." Kagome said.

Ryuichi nodded knowing how untrusting his father was. He said a small chant and erased the spell that had hidden his scent. Naraku recognized the spell. It was one he had used before to spy on certain people. When the scent of the newcomer came to his senses he noticed his scent as well as Kagome's and was shocked although he showed no signs of such.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Ryuichi. Your son from the future." Ryuichi said hoping his father would believe him.

Naraku didn't want to believe the boy, but the scent was too much evidence to ignore. "When?"

"I'm surprised, you haven't noticed me already. You should be able to sense that mom, I mean Kagome, is pregnant."

Naraku sniffed the air, but couldn't tell because of his weaker hanyou senses. He had to crouch down and sniff Kagome's stomach and then he noticed the second smell along with hers.

"You couldn't tell from where you stood could you?" Ryuichi asked completely confused. Naraku made no answer, but Ryuichi was sure that meant a yes. Then he realized why. "You're a hanyou?"

Naraku merely sneered. "He can stay, but keep him out of my way."

Because Ryuichi was with them they decided to travel on foot. Naraku led the group. "Does he still treat you like that in the future?" Kagome asked.

"No, I'm his first son. Actually, in the future I'm kind of his favorite of all your kids."

"How many kids is that?" Kagome asked. 500 years was a long time.

"I'm not going to say. I already have told you way too much."

"But I want to know." Kagome said and made a face with wide eyes and slightly pouty mouth.

"No, stop that. You still do that in the future too. It's not good. No one can resist that." Ryuichi started to panic knowing that even in the future he gave into his mother's every whim when she made that face. He started to look at the scenery rather than her pouting face.

Kagome sighed in defeat and Ryuichi was happy that his mother didn't seem as resilient as she was in the future. "Okay so do I have a girl atleast?"

"Hai."

"I sense another power and this one feels really bad." Kagome pointed forward and a little south.

Everyone knew that this would be a big battle and began to wonder what exactly was going to happen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'She's near. I can feel her. She will die and pay for what she has done to all the youkai of this world.'

More blood fell to the earth, as the youkai enjoyed his final blood bath before the battle that would determine the future.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay hoped you liked the little break in my writer's block. If anything confused you tell me since I had some trouble explaining some things. Well thanks for reading and please please please review!!!!!!

And the overwhelming majority was for a happy ending so I guess that wins, but we'll have to wait and see how it comes about.

Kagome: What do you mean we have to wait and see? Don't you atleast know?

Shichan: Well, actually...I just got over my writer's block enough to write this chapter. I didn't really make plans for the future.

Kagome: What?! You bring in some guy who's my son and we're going off the battle and you don't know what's going to happen.

Shichan: Well, umm...Look over there! *points and everyone turns*

*Everyone turns back and Shichan is already half a mile away and still running*

Shichan: I'll write when I get some more ideas!
