The Feudal Fairy Tale Begins Again...

By: Msmelanie

Chapter Ten: Truth revealed, yet still hidden ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What are you looking at?" Kawayou asked as everyone just looked at him as if he was a ghost.

After the situation started to sink into their heads, Shippou spoke up first. "How'd you heal yourself that fast?!"

Kawayou looked at his healed arm and the other former small injured places. He shrugged it off and looked at Inuyasha. "What is a 'Shikon no Tama'?"

Inuyasha just looked at him. "Even I wouldn't have healed all those wounds until morning."

Kawayou walked up closer to Inuyasha. He was still somewhat scared of him since his mom wasn't there to say 'sit', but he ignored his fear. His mother was more important. "Someone took my mom and I have to get this 'Shikon' thing to save her!"

Inuyasha stopped dwelling on Kawayou's healed wounds the moment he said 'took his mom'. "What? Who?! Who took Kagome?!"

"Her boss." Kawayou replied looking at him straight in the eyes. 'Won't show fear. Won't show fear.'

"Her boss?" Miroku interrupted. "How could this 'boss' of hers know of the Shikon no tama?"

"I don't know!" Kawayou barked. "I just know mom said his real name was Naraku before he took her!"

Everyone fell silent. In other words, the calm before the storm.

"What's Going On?!" Kagome shouted feeling her head feel dizzy. This couldn't be happening! "This is a dream. This has to be a dream."

"Sorry." the girl smiled. "As much as you may want it to be, this isn't a dream."

Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome. "You remember each other?"

Kagome stared at the girl. "How could I forget..."

///"Oh my, oh me! You can see it then! My net of hairs that is. Pity, because seeing's not enough." Kagome looks up toward Yura who is standing on a strand of hairs right above her. "How do you do? I'm Yura of the hair though you needn't bother to remember."

Hair comes out of Yura's fingers and starts to attack Kagome. "Because you'll be dead soon!"

Yura's hair reaches into her clothes and snags Kagome's jewel. "I'll be having the jewel if you don't mind."

Yura took out the shattered jewel. *Gasp!* "You naughty, naughty girl! You shattered the jewel! Where's the rest or I shall be cross."

"You give that back!" Kagome shouted defiantly.

"Answer the question." Yura said firmly.

"I-I'm not really sure." Kagome replied.

Sword levitates a little higher to Yura's side as she grasps onto it. "In that case..."

Starts to jump to attack Kagome with sword. "I may as well finish you right now!"

The sword misses but Kagome goes stumbling backwards into the well.///

"...Yura of the Demon Hair." Kagome finished.

Yura smiled. "My, I guess you did need to bother to remember my name after all."

Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru. "Enough! I want to know what's going on now!"

Yura frowned. "Even after little old me saved your life. Not a simple thank you in return? What we're you brought up in a doghouse too?"

Kagome choked for a second. "Y-you saved me?!"

Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome crossed. "Why did you have to bring Kawayou to work?"

Kagome stared at him. "Work was closer than home. I didn't want to mess up my chance to make amends."

"Oh, amends?" Yura giggled. "Well yes, bringing your cute little doggie was faster, But I doubt it was a good idea."

"He had a baseball cap on like always." Kagome replied. "I thought he'd be fine."

Sesshoumaru stood up from the chair and looked at Kagome. "Stupid Human."

Kagome tried to cool her gruff. "How was I supposed to know that my boss was Naraku? And by the way, why is my boss Naraku?!"

Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome. "I hate stories. Yura, explain to her what's going on."

*************************************************************

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The calm had quit. The storm was now brewing...

"NARAKU?!!" Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango all yelled out at the same time.

"What?!"

"How in the-"

"How could he-"

"What in the-"

They all kept speaking at once, not knowing what to think.

"Naraku is Kagome's boss and wants the Shikon no Tama?!" Inuyasha shouted finally summing up what everyone wanted to sputter out.

Inuyasha quickly stepped toward Kawayou and picked him up. He held him in the air. "Where is he?! How long ago?!"

Kawayou was starting to feel the hair on his neck and ears prick up. He pressed against the urge to yell out for his mom, by doing the only courageous thing he could think of.

Yell back at Inuyasha . "How am I supposed to know?! I just woke up after who knows how long, ran to get you -and by the way, you idiot! Who told you you could go home?!"

Inuyasha thought about Kawayou's last comment and had a slight sense of Deja vu. He shook his head and ignored it. He looked at Miroku and Sango. "Stay here for now." He looked back at Kawayou. "Come on, we need to go find Kagome."

The others watched as Inuyasha put the pup on the ground and started to walk away.

"Hey! Where the hell do you think you are going?! Where's that 'Shikon no tama' thing?!" Kawayou barked.

"Will you shut the hell up and follow me?!" Inuyasha barked back.

Miroku and Sango just stared at each other.

"I feel really bad for Kagome." Miroku replied. "Imagine. She'll have to learn to deal with both of them."

"Both of them?! What do you mean? I'm not like him!" Kawayou barked pointing back at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha growled. 'Dammit, if this pup were anybody else's I'd-' "Stop wasting time!The longer we stall, the farther Kagome is getting into danger!"

That caught Kawayou's attention. He immediately started to take off toward the well.

"Hey, wait!" Inuyasha shouted taking off after him.

Miroku, Sango and Kaede looked at each other as they heard. "I get to be in front!"

*******************************************************************

To the end of an important discussion...

Kagome's eyes looked almost glazed over. Everything Yura had just told her...

She looked forward to Sesshoumaru who was fixing her bandages again. "Is it true? Is everything true? About Kawayou and..." She gulped in hesitation. "..I-Inuyasha?"

Sesshoumaru shook his head yes.

Kagome sighed. "So, he really was Inuyasha's son." She frowned at Sesshoumaru. "Then don't scare me like that! I thought you said he was your pup!"

"He is mine." Sesshoumaru finished. "Inuyasha's gone, I claim all rights to him."

"All rights? All rights?!" Kagome shouted. "He isn't a piece of property!"

"Oh, but he IS very valuable." Yura replied admiring the comb in her hand.

Sesshoumaru frowned at Kagome again. "You are lucky he doesn't know the Shikon no Tama is gone for good, otherwise he would've killed Kawayou instead."

Kagome looked at her side, then back to Sesshoumaru. "Did Naraku open up my side, or did you?"

"I'm a professional." Sesshoumaru replied not looking back at her. "I was just curious about the jewel coming back into you." He started to sit back down next to the chair on the bed.

Kagome was about to ask him where he learned about the jewel being inside of her, but she decided it was best not to find out. 'Must've been an innocent villager...'

Yura grinned. "Actually, you're very lucky that the jewel wasn't inside of you!"

"Why would you say that?" Kagome asked.

"We would have killed you and my half-nephew." Sesshoumaru said emotionlessly. He stood up from his chair again.

He started to walk away as he looked toward Yura. "I'll wait for my possession to come back through the well. Watch the the human mother."

Kagome watched with uneasiness as Sesshoumaru started to leave.

"No need to worry." Yura smiled as she walked toward Kagome. "He won't scratch a hair on his head!"

Yeah, wasn't that a fun chapter! Now Kagome knows what's going on, but poor Inuyasha doesn't! Poor Kawayou doesn't! And the reader doesn't yet either.^^ Soon, soon. Time will tell...

To Reviews! Many of them this time, hard to choose...

To fluffy wolfy: Kawayou is the cutest name ever? I don't know, I sort of like fluffy wolfy. Don't worry, I'll continue at a reasonable pace.

To Tenshineko: I know! Poor little Kawayou! As we know though, people are afraid of what they don't understand. Still...maybe Inuyasha should go back and repay that village soon...As for Sesshoumaru, I hope you enjoyed his entrance. I know it took awhile, but I had to get everything in order first. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.

To Starwind: I'm glad you love my fic! Especially since you don't know that many. First fics of series usually stick in my minds, so this is an honor! I hope it continues to be entertaining for you and I'll try to keep my updates coming in a good pace.

To Kaluna and Gilia: Is Kaluna Kally? Don't know, but it brings a smile to my face when I think about your comment! Thanks, I will keep up this awesome writing. So you needed more, huh?
