The Feudal Fairy Tale Begins Again...

By: Msmelanie

Chapter 30: Will All of this Chaos Ever Make Sense?

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

Rin moved steadily through the woods trying to find where the cry had been emitted from. "Hello?" She called out. "Hello? Is someone out here?"

"No one is even out here!" Jacken shouted. "You have wasted Lord Sesshoumaru's time for-!" He didn't finish as he felt a rock hit him from behind. "Ahhh!" Jacken shouted. "Rin, you little-!" Rin ignored his protesting, and only wished to find the person she had heard crying out desperately.

"Lord Sesshoumaru! We are wasting our time!" Jacken protested. "And she hit me with a rock too, Lord Sesshoumaru! Can't we just leave her out here?! Please?!"

"She is in front of you Jacken. how could she have hit you behind with a rock?" Sesshoumaru answered back.

"..." Jacken thought about his Lord's statement. "But if she didn't then who..." He looked around and saw no one could have done it. The only person there was Sesshoumaru. "My lord, you couldn't have thr-"

"Rin. Hurry. We have no time for an idle human that wishes to stay hidden." Sesshoumaru called out.

Rin ignored Sesshoumary as she continued to look around. As she walked closer towards a nearby clearing she saw a young boy with long black hair. He was hunching on the ground. He probably held a defeated expression on his face, but she couldn't tell with all his hair covering his face gloomily.

"Are you the boy who cried out?" Rin asked tenderly.

The boy didn't reply.

"Are you okay? Do you need help?" Rin asked again.

The boy still wouldn't reply. Rin continued to look at him patiently. The boy took the hint that she wasn't going to leave him anytime soon. He lifted his head so that half of his defeated look was shown. She realized that the young boy had beautiful bluish grey eyes, the likes of which she had never seen before. But they held such a confused yet sad expression behind them, it was hard to look at him straight. "Leave me be. You can't do anything more than I can."

Rin looked at him sadly. "What type of trouble are you in?" The boy leaned his head back down causing his bluish grey eyes to dissapear underneath his hair. "You wouldn't understand."

"Try me." Rin said with determination.

"I'm stuck. I'm stuck out here and I can't get back to my mom." the boy replied.

"Can't get back to your mom? Do you need a ride?" Rin asked.

"No! No Lord Sesshoumaru will not give a ride to some lowly human boy!" Jacken shouted as he and Sesshoumaru came to them.

"Lord...Sesshoumaru?" the boy thought as he lifted his head half way up to see who had just shown up. 'It couldn't be...could it? Could it be him?!' Suddenly, the boy's gloomy and confused expression melted away and all that had shown through was anger as he lifted his head and showed both his bluish grey eyes blazing furiously. "You?! YOU?!! You're the guy with the cellphone who took that jewel and caused all this hell!!" the boy shouted angrily.

"..." No one knew exactly what the boy was talking about.

"What?" Jacken spoke up. "Lord Sesshoumaru, I think this human is disturbed. Absolutely looney!"

Sesshoumaru looked at the boy who was glaring at him infuriated. "Rin. This one cannot be helped. Let's move on."

Rin looked at the boy. "Lord Sesshoumaru, I don't think we should just leave him out here." She looked back at her lord. "He is only a human boy. Probably no older than four or five."

"..."

"He has lost his family and is just taking his anger out on you." Rin said. "He's just confused and lost. We must take him back to his family."

"Lord Sesshoumaru mustn't do anything for a lowly human!" Jacken shouted out at Rin.

Rin looked at Sesshoumaru knowingly. "We have already wasted time to go look for the boy. If we do not help, then what was the point of looking? It will be wasted time." She smiled up at Sesshoumaru. "And don't you hate wasted time?"

The boy stood there, trying to digest what was going on. Two things had slowly come to him. First, this man must be from the past since his clothes and hair were nothing like he remembered. Second, this chick Rin was trying to get him a ride back home. He smiled and realized if he just played dumb about everything, he could get a ride home to stop that stinky wolf in time. 'Hell, maybe fate's trying to turn around for me. About ****ing time.'

Sesshoumaru looked at Rin as he considered what she said. Damn, she was getting too good. "Fine. If it's on our way, we can take the disturbed human."
Rin smiled. "Thank you Lord Sesshoumaru."

Rin watched the human boy smile, but then frown. "What's wrong?"

"Ahh, ****! I don't know where the hell my mom is!" he yelled in frustration. All he knew was that they had been sleeping in some huge tree out in the middle of nowhere before his dad yanked him out for some fun. "Aww, ****! ****! ****! How the hell am I gonna find her?!"

Sesshoumaru, Rin and Jacken all looked at the boy with surprise.

"Where in the world did a human boy learn to cuss like that?! Only low and weak demons are supposed to cuss like that!" Jacken shouted in disgust.

'Oops.' the boy thought. 'I guess I better watch myself a little better, or these ***holes might figure out who I am.'

'Hmmm...' the human boy thought as he looked at everyone. 'I gotta make myself more believable, or they won't take me.' So, he started to simper. "Will you really take me home to my mommy?" he asked excitedly. 'Please let them buy this ****.' Rin looked at Sesshoumaru.

"You may come with us, but I do not guarantee your safety." Sesshoumaru replied.

"That means yes." Rin smiled at the boy. "Soon, I'm sure we'll run into your family but until then you can be with us."

Jacken was about to pout but he felt another rock hit his head. "RIN!" he shouted out at her. Then he realized Rin was still in front of him. He looked around behind him and once again saw no one but Sesshoumaru. "Lord Sesshoumaru, you didn't just-"

"We are wasting time." Sesshoumaru replied as he started to walk away. "Let's go, we've still got matters to deal with." Jacken followed Sesshoumaru, and Rin followed Jacken.

The young boy looked at them. 'Am I doing the right thing?' he suddenly wondered. He looked to his left. 'What if mom is in the opposite direction?'

"Young boy!" Rin shouted at him. The boy quickly ran to her. "What is your name?"

The boy looked at her. Would Sly be believable for a human name? 'Well, I still can't use Kawayou. Then, what do I call myself?' The boy shrugged, then thought back to the type of shows he missed from his own time. "Just call me Lupin." he finally replied as they both caught up to Jacken and Sesshoumaru.

Back to Kagome...

Kagome sighed as she walked back and forth. Inuyasha still hadn't come back yet. She continued to pace as Miroku came up to her. "Lady Kagome, I'm sure he is fine..."

Kagome looked at Miroku. "I'm sure he'll be finer than your hand if you don't get it off my butt."

Miroku smiled. "But it's quite comfy."

Kagome was about to say something else when she saw Hiraikotsu come down on the monk from behind. She looked up and saw Sango angrily looking down at him.

"Did you find Kirara?" Kagome asked her friend as she stepped over Miroku.

"No, I haven't...." Sango sighed. "Where could she have gone? True, she does leave now and then, but it's been way too long. I'm worried..."

"Don't worry." Kagome smiled to reassure her friend. "Maybe she found someone special."

Sango 'ughed' at Kagome's answer. "I don't even want to go into 'someone special'. All the 'someone special's in this world want is for you to bear their children.

Kagome laughed. "There's only one 'someone special' like that Sango...and I'm surprised to hear you call him that."

Sango looked back at her friend confused until she realized what she meant. She started to blush a bright crimson. "No, no!" she protested. "I didn't mean HIM! Why would I call him someone special?! I mean....." Sango looked for a way out of the situation she put herself in. "Where's your son and Inuyasha? Aren't they back by now?"

Kagome frowned. "Inuyasha had lost track of Kawayou, and since you know what day it is..." she said as she looked at the moonless sky. "He needed Shippou's help to find him....I swear, if anything happens to Kawayou I'll- !"

"I'm sure your boy will be fine." Sango replied. "There aren't real bad youkai around here. The worst among them is Inuyasha, so you shouldn't worry."

Kagome sighed. "I know." She looked back up at the moonless sky.

Suddenly, a tornado started to come right toward them. As it stopped, it bent down gracefully in front of Kagome.

"Kouga?" Kagome said. "What are you doing here?"

Kouga smiled. "Kagome, I've come to take you back home."

Then, it hit Kagome. "Kouga! You were trapped on the other side!" She smiled. "That means the well has open back up!"

Kouga was about to comment when Kagome suddenly grabbed him into a hug. "Kouga! The well has opened back up! Kawayou and I can go back home!"

Sango smiled at her friend, but hid her sadness inside. She had gotten used to the idea of Kagome always being there.

Kouga enjoyed the hug a little longer before he finally looked at her. 'She is already so excited...this may be even easier than I thought...' "Kagome." 'She's still so pretty. Soon, she'll be MY pretty woman.' "We have to talk."

"About what?" Kagome asked as she continued to smile.

"Us."

"...us?" Kagome asked as she finally stepped away from Kouga. "Kouga, there isn't an us though."

Kouga had a huge smile on his face. "From this day forward, there will be."

Kagome started to develop an uneasiness about the situation and backed up closer to Sango.

Kouga laughed. "The well hasn't opened back up Kagome. It will only open up for me." He reached out to touch her chin with his finger. "I'm going to give you two options Kagome."

Sango frowned at the wolf while Kagome gulped. Something just didn't feel right.

"Option number one. Stay here in this time with Inuyasha forever. Meaning you can never come back to the future, give Kawayou an education or a...." 'What did dog turd's brother call it again?' "...a career. Let him stay in this time learning how to fight demons and how to survive by hunting small helpless creatures." He smiled at Kagome. "Oh, yes. I also forgot to tell you that your boy has now become a helpless human, making it even harder on him."

He looked at Kagome seriously as he continued. "Or option number two: Go back to your time with me, go through the human ceremony of marriage with me, and promise to bear me more pups. In return Kawayou shall receive an education, have a career, and have a life. I would even be nice and help him bring back his demon side." He looked at her intently. "So...which shall it be?"

Kagome looked at him with disbelief. "Wh..wha..." She couldn't comprehend everything the wolf had just said. He couldn't have meant what she thought he said. Right?

Sango spoke up for Kagome. "You..." she said despisingly. "How could you make her choose like that?!"

Kouga ignored Sango's comment. "There is one more thing I have neglected to mention..."

Kagome just glanced over at him. She still had trouble believing what her ears were telling her...

"Your time..." Kouga proceeded. "Has changed for the better...not worse."

Kagome looked at him in surprise. "What do you mean?"

Kouga laughed. "For demons anyway. We are now free to walk around in our true forms. We don't need to cover up our ears or our fangs or claws."

We now control the world. Now, not only will Kawayou receive a wonderful education...he will be held with prestige and hold a great career. After all, he is the nephew of Sesshoumaru."

Kagome and Sango were speechless. Youkai now controlled the world?

"I thought..." Kagome began softly. "That youkai were running amuck. I thought they would destroy everything."

Kouga shrugged it off. "I don't know all the details. Once we go home, you may ask Sesshoumaru yourself."

Kagome started to breathe heavily as she felt the weight of the choices now bearing down on her shoulders. "Kawayou could have an education and a career. A safe life..."

"But..." Sango interrupted. "What wouldn't he have?" "...Inuyasha." Kagome said softly. "His dad."

"I will become his father." Kouga replied. "I can learn to raise him as if he was my own."

Kagome didn't know what to do. She did want to go back home, true. But leave Inuyasha? Forever? To be with Kouga? 'How could I ever do that? How could I take Kawayou from him? How could I...how could I take my own heart away from him...'She closed her eyes shut tightly. 'I never could forget him. Not in the past, not now...not ever.' Sango touched her friends shoulder. 'But Kawayou could be treated with respect. He wouldn't have to fake who he was anymore....and he could still be safe...'

She couldn't take it as she yelled out. "How can you do this to me Kouga?! HOW?!" She started to wipe the tears from her eyes. Dammit. Ever since she broke down for Inuyasha she had let herself become weak and breakable again...

and now was not the time to break.

Kouga stopped looking Kagome directly in the eyes. Her expression was so painful, he couldn't bear to watch her. He stopped himself from feeling for her. 'If I back down, she'll never be mine! She'll be his! HIS! No, she'll never be his, she'll be MINE! ONLY MINE!' "Choose Now!" he howled loudly.

Kagome looked at the ground as if somewhere within it held the answer. As if somewhere it held the courage that she now needed...but it wasn't there. It was just dirt and grass.

...dirt and grass...

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

Wow..one chapter, that's it?! Uuhh...sorta. Depends. Chapter 31 is a real cliffhanger, and I might really hear an earful if I put that up alone with this chapter. So...if you can wait until I update on fanfiction.net again so it won't be as bad a cliffhanger, then I'll have 31, 32, 33, and maybe 34. If you can't, and you WANT to read 31, then it is on my site. Hopfully, I'll have Chapter 32 up on my site by tonight or tomorrow to dim the wait.

Now, time for Reviews!

To Kagome-chan: Okay, little C, big C. I'll have to try and remember that! No...you read right. Previously, Kawayou/Sly had told Inuyasha he never changed. But that was because of the jewel he held inside him. Now, since the half-jewel is gone, he's gaining the powers of a regular 1/4 youkai, so he's now going to start being affected. Unless Kouga helps him...and yes, I'm reading your story now.^^ Although I shouldn't be because getting hooked on too many fanfictions when you are supposed to be writing isn't very nice.^^'. But I will catch up eventually. Although, I still don't get it...Kerrie and Kouga? Kerrie and Kouga...

To Mistress of Richard Cox: ....chosen few, huh? Kouga is a chosen one? Uhhh....well, haven't heard that one yet.

To darksidemoonshine: Wow. Okay, that's a name alright.^^' Thanks for reviewing and I'm glad you like my story.

To Animegoddess: Shomaru kisses her? Umm...okay. Yes, Rin is in here. Temporarily, of course. But don't worry, the three musketeers will be back.(Jacken, Rin, and Fluffy of course.)

To Kagome-Chan: You know, I didn't know either. Makes me wonder if their is a kagome-chan out there...or a kagome-Chan...anyhow, I hope you had a great birthday! And, I hope now you get who the little girl was. Just a regular little pup that was out with her family, got grabbed by Kouga, and dropped in the middle of nowhere, all just to catch the attention of Inuyasha. Poor little girl...

To Inu-Luna44: Don't sick Sesshoumaru on me, see I updated. And in good time too, I think. Hope you enjoy the story, and I hope I kept Sesshoumaru in character for you.

To Chibi_Inuyasha: Wrapped her arms tighter around him....hmmm....I don't know. I'll go back and check on that. Thanks for the review!

To: Monkeystarz: If I didn't respond to your review, it just wouldn't be right. Read 1-29? Well, I'm glad your caught up. Yes, I know what it feels like waiting for the next chapters to come. But don't worry, they always come eventually. Yes, little mistakes are all over fanfiction.net. I'm sorry, but I think I fixed that on my site. And I'm glad you like my fic. You like other fics that have Kagome with a child? Have you read umm...I think it's called Inuyasha, things change. That's a good one and I really like her son Inyasha in it.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you continue to enjoy the story!^^
