a/n: I've realized something. This story has been the one story I've updated the most in such a short time. I've completely ignored my other stories (It's only 2 other stories, but still some people read those too). Sorry to those people that read "Undefeatable Love" and "Knocking On Heaven's Door" and wanted an update on them! To those that are reading this story, read my others please. ^_^
"Knocking On Heaven's Door" isn't under my pen name, it's under "The Joker Girls" which is the account made by me and my all time favorite author Lasako! (The story was made by both of us so that's why it's under a whole different account). Summary to that story is in my FanFic profile and link to that story is under Favorite Stories. "Undefeatable Love" is a another good story made by me so go read it too. Oh and to those who like SailorMoon, read my one shot story "Can't Fight The MoonLight." Submit a review for all the stories, I'd really appreacite it!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The sun shined brightly through all the huts windows signaling a new day. The warmth of the morning sun waked a half asleep child. Takara slowly opened her eyes and tried to clear her vision. Takara sat up and rubbed her eyes. She yawned and placed her small fragile hand over her mouth. Once she closed her mouth, she placed her hand to her side and blinked a couple times before she could clearly see.
Takara looked around the hut and smiled brightly at what she saw. In a far end corner, she saw three shadows cuddled closely, keeping each other warm. By the few sun rays shinning in, Takara saw Inuyasha and Kagome resting on their side. Inuyasha had one of his arms around Kagome's waist and his head rested on Kagome's shoulder. Inuyasha's claw was placed on Kagome's stomach and Kagome had her hand over his. Shippou was cuddled into a ball on the couple's blanket.
Takara was going to move over to them to wake them, but a thought stopped her, "Where Daddy and Mommy?" Takara looked to her side and her smile grew. Sango was on her left, Miroku on her right, meaning of course she was in the middle. To Sango's side was Kirara resting peacefully (a/n: You guys thought I forgot about the cutest demon kitty huh?)
Takara felt something on her lap and looked to see what it was. She saw her parent's hands clasped together on her lap. Takara looked around again and saw somehow they were in a corner, on top of straw, with a blanket under and over them. Takara could of sworn before she went to sleep last night she was asleep in her father's lap. But she just threw that thought for later since she didn't care much, she liked it this way better anyway.
Takara layed back down into her parent's embrace. Miroku moved a bit once Takara placed her head down on the straw and blanket. Miroku released Sango's hand once Takara got comfortable. He placed his arm over Takara's chest and his hand on Sango's hips. Sango placed her arm around her daughter. Takara thought she woke them up, but when she looked at them both, she noticed they just moved in slumber to be comfy since they still had their eyes closed. Takara smiled one of her cutest and joyful smiles as she brought the blanket to her neck. She began to slowly close her eyes. As her vision became blurry and her world started to turn black, only one thought ran through her mind, "I'm happy."
~*~ Evening ~*~ "So you're staying right?," asked two impatient people and a small fox. "Yes we are," answered Sango for herself and her daughter. Even though Sango had already answered the same question a lot the day before, the others asked one more time today just to be sure she and her lovely daughter were really staying. It didn't hurt to ask more than twice anyway right? Maybe it can get a little annoying, but it won't hurt. Besides, Sango knew why they asked her that particular question so much, they cared. Sango appreciated it much that they were so concerned for her and for the new little member of the group. They actually wanted them to stay. One person wanted it more than the other and you all know who that is.
Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippou cheered for happiness once they heard Sango's answer. Well, Kagome and Shippou did most of the cheering, Inuyasha tried to hold in his excitement the best he could. Miroku looked to his side to see Sango with her head lowered, "For now," she whispered to herself for only her to hear, or so she thought.
Miroku slightly frowned and looked down to his lap. In his lap he found a happy and jumpy young child. Takara looked up at her father, "So we'll be staying here with Uncle Inuyasha and Aunt Kagome?!" Miroku put on a fake smile and that was all Takara needed for an answer. Takara jumped up and down in Miroku's lap, being completely fooled and oblivious to her father's false smile. Hey, she only knew him for what? Like three or four days? No, not even that much. Maybe about two days. So how was she suppose to know if her father was faking his smile at her at the moment?
Sango looked over at her two loved ones and gave a small smile. Sango sighed within herself, "Why do I feel so confused inside? I feel so happy that Takara finally has met her father and that I'm back with Miroku, but then that feeling is overpowered by the anger I hold for myself. I was dumb for leaving the way I did years ago. Leaving my friends, Miroku, and leaving my daughter to grow up seeing me sad. During those years I left, I was sad over the loss of my dear brother and the loss of the one I held so dear to me, Miroku. I was always trying to put a smile for Takara, but only managed to fake them. Takara's a smart girl, she saw right through those fake smiles. I should just be happy for now, Takara and I are back with the one guy that can make it all better."
Miroku and Sango looked at each other and their smiles grew. They were actually giving real smiles and they both knew it. "I can never have my child taken from me," thought Miroku, "Or my Sango." Kagome looked at the two love birds in front of them and she reached to grab Inuyasha's hand which was not so far away from hers since they were sitting really close to each other.
Kagome placed her hand over Inuyasha's and Inuyasha looked to his side to Kagome smiling and cheery. He gave a small smile back and slipped his fingers between hers. Kagome and Inuyasha tightened their hands together. Shippou saw everyone and frowned. Takara frowned as well when she saw Shippou's sadden expression, "What's wrong?"
Shippou shook his head to snap out of his small thoughts, "Nothing! Nothing at all," he spat out immediately to end suspicion on him. Shippou tried to push his tiny insignificant thoughts behind him, or so he thought they were so insignificant.
Takara wiggled out of her father's lap and stood up. She walked over to the doorway and stopped when she was almost outside the hut. She turned around and smiled at Shippou, "Coming?!" Shippou nodded as he stood up from his spot next to Kagome and ran to her with Kirara behind him.
Kagome watched as they ran outside together, holding hands, "Hmm interesting ............." She began to gather fluffy thoughts in her head and by her face expression, Inuyasha caught on pretty quick. The others just stared at her with a raised eyebrow.
"What's interesting?," asked Sango along with Miroku looking at Kagome directly for an explanation. Kagome snapped out of it once she saw Inuyasha giving her one of his 'Whatever it is, don't start' looks, Kagome knew them pretty well. Kagome waved her hands side to side nervously, "Nothing!" Miroku and Sango kept eyeing her as Inuyasha just rolled his eyes.
~*~ Outside ~*~ Takara and Shippou stopped when they were a few feet away from the hut and in the middle of a field. Kirara stopped in front of them and purred. Takara and Shippou looked down to see their hands still clasped tightly together. Takara and Shippou immediately pulled their hands away and looked to their sides. Takara could feel her cheeks burning. Kirara tilted her head to the side once she noticed a bit of red escaping Shippou's cheeks as well. If only cats could talk.
Takara looked back at Shippou and smiled to try to end the awkward silence, "What play now?" Shippou looked at Takara and thought for a moment, "How about hide-and-go-seek? Kagome taught me how to play it! It's easy." Takara clapped her hands together in joy. Shippou smiled as he figured out that Takara must be agreeing to playing the game from her actions at just hearing the name of the game. Shippou began explaining the game to Takara and it didn't take that long for Takara to get the idea of the game. She nodded after a 4 minute explanation by Shippou (a/n: Told you the girl was smart).
She poked Shippou on the side, "You're it!" Takara ran off to hide with Kirara close behind. Shippou went to a tree nearby and closed his eyes. "This is going to be so much fun," thought Shippou. He put his hands over his eyes and began counting, "1 ........... 2 ........... 3 ........... 4 ..........."
Takara hid in a bush near the small hut the adults were in. Kirara sat next to her as Takara parted the leaves to look at Shippou. Takara giggled a bit as Shippou tried to peek as he continued to count. Kagome looked outside from where she sat and saw Shippou counting against a tree, "Looks like they're playing a game." Sango smiled happily, "They became friends fast." Miroku nodded along with Inuyasha.
"47 ........... 48 ........... 49 ........... 50!" Shippou put his hands to his side and opened his eyes. Shippou turned around and looked around, "Ready or not, here I come!!!" Shippou began looking behind the tree he was counting on to make sure she wasn't there. Takara continued to giggle when she saw him looking for her behind the giant tree. Shippou then immediately after seeing she wasn't hiding where he first looked, he ran around and looked everywhere he could think of. Sango looked outside and saw Shippou running around. She laughed a bit at how persistent Shippou was.
Shippou stopped running around when his ear picked up on gentle child's laughter. He grinned and ran to a small healthy bush next to the hut. Takara noticed him running straight at her and she let go of the leaves to try to hide better. Shippou arrived at the bush he was running at and parted the leaves. He found a young girl on her knees with a cat now on her head, "Gotcha! You're it!"
Takara pouted a bit as Shippou ran off to hide. Sango and Miroku smiled when they saw Takara go to the tree Shippou was counting at before. Kagome laughed as Takara's parents peeked at her, "They're not doing anything wrong so you guys can stop spying." Sango and Miroku looked at Kagome. "We're not spying, we just like seeing Takara having fun," answered Miroku in their defense. Kagome continued to laugh, "I know, I was just playing. I like seeing Shippou enjoy himself too."
Takara didn't notice people were watching her so she just simply began counting as she closed her eyes and put her small hands over her eyes, "1 ........... 2 ........... ummm 5 ........... 37 ........... 4 ........... 22 ........... 13 ..........."
Inuyasha blinked as his ears picked up on Takara counting, "Haven't you taught her numbers yet?" Sango looked at Miroku who was giving her a look telling her to tell him also.
She sighed at the two men, "She's only 3 after all. She's not that good with numbers anyway. But she is really smart for her age. Some people say that it's like she has an 8 year old brain in a adorable 3 year old body. Except that her grammar is from a 3 year old too," Sango started laughing at what she just said along with Kagome. Mother humor I guess. "She'll surprise you in how smart she really is," Sango said in between laughter to the guys. Miroku joined in the laughter with the girls as Inuyasha kept listening to Takara count. Ok, I guess it's just parent humor, no wonder Inuyasha is not laughing along.
"I need to teach her numbers more later," replied Sango as she ended her giggle fit. Inuyasha waited until she calmed down to ask the question on his mind. He looked over at Sango, "Speaking of teaching, does she know how to fight?" Kagome stopped laughing along with Miroku at Inuyasha's question. Kagome twitched a bit as she observed Takara stop counting and now searching for Shippou from her spot, "She's only 3 Inuyasha!"
"There really is no reason for a delicate flower of our child," Miroku looked to his side at Sango as he continued, "To learn how to fight." Sango and Kagome nod in agreement. Inuyasha could see Takara running around looking for Shippou, then disappear into the woods, "Feh. It doesn't really matter anyway since she has her Uncle Inuyasha here to protect her!," exclaimed Inuyasha. Kagome giggled at how he said his title over Takara.
She smiled brightly, "And she has two loving parents to protect her as well." Sango smiled as she leaned to her side and put her head on Miroku's shoulder. "And I can still use my bow and arrow pretty well too!," yelled 'great aunt' Kagome. Kagome calmed her voice a bit to try to talk normally again, "It's not like any demon even comes here anymore ..........."
~*~ Tree ~*~ "Man where is she? It's been a long time," said Shippou in boredom and in a little concern. Of course he's concerned, she was a sweet girl and he knew just by looking at her the first time they met she's never fought at all in her small life. It's not like she needs to know how to fight anyway. That sometimes can lead to injuries that might wreck the beautiful girl's appearence. And plus scar her for life. "What am I thinking?! WHY am I thinking about all this?!," Shippou yelled at himself. He started hitting himself on the head, but then stopped after a few minor hits. He jumped down from the tree he was on and landed on the grass, "I better go look for her."
~*~ Woods ~*~ "Shippou!," Takara called out, "Shippou!" Takara sighed as she sat down on the grass near a small pond. She looked to her side and petted the cat that sat next to her, "I give up Kirara." Kirara purred in response. Takara sighed again as she looked at her reflection in the water, "This is where me and Mommy met Daddy!," she exclaimed when she recognized the surroundings.
She smiled as she remembered the night she got the chance to be in her father's embrace for the first time. The first time she saw her mother actually smile. "I just wish I could find Shippou here," said Takara as she came back to reality and stood up when she felt something annoying her from the bottom. She looked down and found she was sitting on a small rock. She picked it up and through it into the water, making the reflection of herself fade. As the water calmed and Takara could see her reflection again, she gasped when she spotted a large shadow over her.
~*~ Hut ~*~ "I mostly trained some villagers how to fight off a demon and took care of Takara," answered Sango after Kagome asked her a question. "So what do you guys do here?," asked Sango as she felt Miroku wrap his arm around her waist as she still had her head on his shoulder.
"Well other than help sick people in the village and care for Shippou, I do nothing really. Inuyasha and Miroku never did much either, nothing to do."
On Inuyasha's face a huge grin escaped his features, "WE DO do something else Kagome," said Inuyasha with a wink. Kagome got wide eyed and twitched tremendously. Miroku laughed hard at Inuyasha when he was unconscious on the ground with a huge lump on his head. Sango joined Miroku in the laughing when she saw Kagome standing over Inuyasha's body with her hand closed in a fist.
Miroku turned around when he heard someone breathing behind him, "Where's Takara Shippou?" Sango stopped laughing and also turned around to face Shippou with a worried face.
"I don't know, I thought she came back here," answered Shippou as he received the stares from Takara's now very worried parents. Sango stood up from her spot next to Miroku and ran outside in deep concern. Miroku ran behind her in search of their daughter. Inuyasha got up while rubbing the new lump on his head and glared at Shippou, "How could you just lose her like that?!"
Shippou backed away a bit the moment he heard the tone Inuyasha was using. He felt like he was about to get punished for his dumb move by his 'dad.' "I didn't lose her on purpose! We were playing hide-and-go-seek and she was it. I was hiding and waiting for her to come get me, but she never did. It's been a long while since I've really seen her," answered Shippou in a sad voice.
"It wasn't your fault Shippou. I bet she's just lost in the woods still trying to find you, she'll be found soon, don't worry! Especially that she has Kirara by her side," said Kagome in an attempt to try to comfort her adopted son. Inuyasha stood frozen when he picked up on disturbing scents. Kagome and Shippou both noticed his face expression, "What is it?!!!," they both exclaimed at the same time.
Kagome stared at Inuyasha for an answer with worry visible in her soft brown eyes. Shippou began glaring at Inuyasha for an answer. "It's Kirara's blood and a demon's," he paused before continuing, "And Takara's blood." Kagome gasped and stood still, but Shippou instead ran out of the hut the second Inuyasha told them.
~*~ Pond ~*~ Takara fell into the water as she was pushed back into the pond. Takara shook her head to move her wet hair from her face. She looked forward and saw Kirara laying on the grass near a tree. Her chest was moving up and down so it meant that Kirara was still breathing and alive. Takara sighed in relief for Kirara, but her relief was cut short when she turned her sight and watched in fear as a giant black snake demon with red stripes running down its body hissed at her. "Stupid snake hit kitty," thought Takara as she remembered how Kirara was attacked. She remembered Kirara transforming and growling at the snake to protect Takara. The demon shot venon at Kirara and now she's not moving, barely breathing.
"What you want with me?!," screamed Takara for an explanation for the snake's sudden attack. She stood up, trembling in constant fear and agony. Her side was hurting badly and she knew exactly why. She placed her hand to try to stop the blood from flowing from the wound caused by the demon's deadly bite. Takara's vision was becoming blurry.
"You have it! I must have it!" The demon snake stretched out its scaly body before darting at Takara like an arrow. Takara shut her eyes and began crying in fear for her own life. She opened her eyes when she heard someone yell the words 'Fox Fire!' She screamed out Shippou's name in happiness. Shippou landed in front of her as the snake shook its head to try to shake off the small flame burn. Shippou turned around and grabbed Takara's hand, "We have to go, come on!"
"Me side hurt and Kirara hurt too!," screamed Takara in protest. Shippou tried to pull Takara away, but Takara wouldn't budge. He looked at Takara and saw her bleeding. He gasped, "Oh no!" He looked up when he heard the snake hissing above. He pushed Takara out of the way as the snake landed over Shippou and dragged him into the depths of the pond with it. Takara landed on the grass on her hands and knees soaking wet. She looked over her shoulder and screamed out Shippou's name when she didn't see him or the giant black demon snake. All she saw was the large circles in the water formed by the giant dive the snake took.
She looked at a tree and saw Kirara trying to stand up, but the pain rushing through her body didn't give her permission. Takara started crying as she sat down on the grass Indian style. She looked at her hands and saw the red sticky liquid. Her tears kept pouring as her yells grew louder. Abruptly, a light was emitted from her hands. She blinked a few times to try to clearly see what was happening. The glow seemed to show the colors of a rainbow, "Pretty .....," thought Takara. Kirara from a far watched in amazement as well.
The light colors disappeared and Takara's hands were now clean, no sign of blood on them. Takara blinked a few times in surprise to see her hands clean and to see an object now in her hands. It was a white clear ball much larger than a marble that emitted different color lights when Takara lifted it into the sun's rays. Takara observed it a while before she turned her attention to the water when she heard air bubbles rising and popping. She stood up, limping, and looked closely at the shimmering water which got its glitter from the morning sun still shinning brightly above the area.
A huge black snake appeared shooting out of the water with a tiny fox between its fangs. Takara gasped when the snake spit out the tiny creature next to her. With all her strength she went to his side, "Shippou!," she cried. Kirara saw Shippou and also tried to go to his side, but her strength was very limited and the pain was overpowering. All she could do was lay down and watch.
Shippou opened his eyes slowly, "Takara?" Shippou's vision began to clear to see a beautiful young girl with tears forming in her dark blue eyes, "Are you Ok Takara?" Takara nodded as her small tears slid down her cheek, "This is all my fault!"
"No it's not. You had nothing to do with this," spoke Shippou to try to end the girl's guilt. He couldn't feel his body, all he could move was his eyes, mouth, and barely his arms. He started to wish his nose would not work at the moment either because the scent of Takara's blood was disturbing. He got angered from every wiff, "Fucking demon!," he kept repeating in his head. Wow, who knew Shippou knew those kind of words! His thoughts were taken away when he focuzed his sight to Takara's hands when he saw a glow, "What's that?"
Takara sniffed and tried to control her crying as she looked down to her hands, "Me don't know, it came out of me hands," answered Takara as she showed Shippou the object in hand. Shippou became wide eyed, "That's the ..........."
Takara turned around when she heard a scary voice, "I must have it! Give it to me! " Takara screamed as the demon slithered its way to Takara. Shippou and Kirara tried to get up to protect her, but both failed in doing so. Shippou became very worried for Takara and once again tried to do something, anything. He couldn't let that stupid demon get her, he could never forgive himself if it did. He knew he was weak, now more than ever in his condition, but he had to do anything he could, or at least try. No, trying wasn't enough. He HAD to do something. He growled within himself when he couldn't move. Takara noticed his struggle to get up and admired him for it. She grabbed onto Shippou's body while shutting her eyes tight, waiting to get attacked.
"Iron Reiver Soul Stealer!" Takara opened her eyes and let go of Shippou. She looked at the demon and grew wide eyed as she watched in amazement. Inuyasha landed in front of Takara who was on her knees next to Shippou's almost motionless body. Takara looked away from Inuyasha when she heard her parents calling her name, "Mommy! Daddy!"
Sango knelt down next to Takara and hugged her, relieved she was still alive. She let out a big gasp when she saw all the blood Takara had on her clothes. Shippou was picked up into Miroku's arms as he knelt down next to Sango. Miroku looked to a tree and saw Kirara trying to walk to them. He stood up and ran to her. He also picked her up and walked back to kneel down next to Sango and Takara again.
An arrow was shot at the snake's head. The snake hissed and directed its deadly stare at Kagome. His blood shot red eyes sent shivers down Kagome's spine. "Hey!" The demon directed its gaze over at Inuyasha, "Don't you know that picking on little kids is wrong. And especially picking on those kids was an extremely stupid move!" Inuyasha jumped up into the air and was now hovering over the snake's head, "Eat this ! ! ! ! ! ! !" Inuyasha brought down his trusty sword that he had over his head and directed it straight at the demon's stomach.
Blood and screams were heard as the snake's body was split in two. Inuyasha grinned as he landed near Kagome, "Damn bastard." He put his sword away in its shieth as it transformed back to normal, "I wonder why the fuck he attacked those two." He looked to his side to see Kagome with a worried look, "What's wrong Kagome?"
"I sense the Shikon No Tama," answered Kagome as she looked at the snake's body which was still moving. Even dead, it was still scaring her a bit. Inuyasha looked at Kagome like she was crazy. Kagome knew he was giving her that face even though she never looked at him, she kept her sight on the demon who has caused this whole mess and chaos.
"What the hell are you talking about? The jewel disappeared when we made our wish on," Inuyasha paused for a moment and whispered, "Kikyou ...." Kagome didn't like the way Inuyasha said Kikyou's name, but she decided to deal with it later. "The jewel! I must have the jewel," spoke the head of the snake that was slowly disintegrating. Sango and Miroku who were observing from a far gasped when the demon's head talked. Kagome and Inuyasha got closer to it, "What was that?!," ordered Inuyasha.
"I must have the jewel. For then my master can have it," slithered the snake's head. Kagome raised an eyebrow at the nasty creature while Inuyasha just growled at it, "Master?! Who's your fucking master?!," screamed a pissed off Inuyasha. The demon's head laughs evilly, "You'll meet her soon ......," replied the head before it disappeared into then air.
"Damn it!," screamed Inuyasha in frustration. Kagome sighed, "Why does this all have to start again?", she thought to herself as memories of all the bad events that happened before and when they fought that devil Naraku rushed back. Kagome shook those thoughts away quickly and walked over to the others. Sango held Takara in her arms as Miroku stood and handed Shippou to his mother.
Kirara was still in Miroku's arms, trying her best to stay alive. Shippou's blood was covered over his clothes as the same was said for Takara. Sango and Miroku were covered in the blood of the people they had in their arms while a little blood of the demon was on Inuyasha's kimono. Shippou's blood was starting to dry on his clothes so his blood didn't get on Kagome's priestess kimono.
Inuyasha began to get aggravated with all the smells of blood reaching his sensitive nose. He could take that demon's blood, actually, that was the blood he wanted to smell the most, it proved he got rid of the fucking bastard. But the blood of the others really ticked him off. He didn't want to smell those people's blood, they didn't deserve to be losing their precious lifeline. If he sniffed in those disturbing scents, it made Inuyasha realize that he might lose those kids. NO! He won't lose them, they'll be just fine. Inuyasha kept repeating that in his head, "They'll be fine. Just fine ...."
Inuyasha's repeating thoughts were cut short when Miroku spoke up from the silence hovering above all of them, "They've all lost a lot of blood, but thankfully they'll be fine," said Miroku in everyone's relief.
Kagome looked down at Shippou who had his eyes barely open, "Rest Shippou." Shippou closed his eyes as Inuyasha came and stood next to Kagome, "Is Takara Ok?," asked Shippou in concern.
Inuyasha nodded, "She'll be just fine pup, rest already." Shippou smiled with his eyes still closed and Kagome smiled as well when they both heard Inuyasha call Shippou pup. Shippou may not be Kagome's and Inuyasha's actual kid, but he did come close and they loved him as if he was really their child. Shippou loved Inuyasha and Kagome as if they were his true parents, even though Inuyasha sometimes didn't act like a dad and acted as if he didn't care much for Shippou. But always in the end, Inuyasha proved he truly does care in his own unique way.
Takara closed her eyes once the loss of blood got to her. She let her hand fall to her side and her fingers lost their grip on the large pearl in her small hand. Sango looked as Miroku knelt down and picked it up. Everyone gasped at the sight of the suppose to be gone Shikon Jewel.

Chichibean - Glad to hear from you again! LoLz I always keep writing even though sometimes I don't update as much. But hey, reviews inspire me to keep writing so I do. I saw a review from you for my best friend's story, Hell On Earth, and I'm happy you like her story too! I bet Maria is more happy since that's her story. LoLz I'm so happy you like both stories so far and hope you enjoy the rest of this story once I make the new chapters.
Harmony - That's totally true! When you think everything's Ok and great, the next thing you know everything falls apart! I hate when that happens, but oh well, I can't change what happens after it happens. I hope the characters don't hate me so much that they leave in the middle of the story because I make their life a living hell. HeHe Thanks for the review!
Vampire-Elf - You were the first one ever to IM me from getting my s/n from my FanFic profile, thanks! I know it sounds kinda weird to thank you for that, but hey, I'm weird and everyone knows that (And if you didn't know, now you do). I like your idea of making Kagome have a child. I thought about it before I made the story, but I concluded I won't make her have a child at the moment. But you never know, she might later ^.~ I do like making lemons for my stories, but if you read my other story "Undefeatable Love" you'd see why I made this story PG 13. I suck at lemons! At the moment, I'm revising those lemons and trying to make them better, wish me luck! If I get to a point where I can't take it anymore I will try to make a lemon the best I can for this story (Don't worry, others who don't like that can just skip over the chapter, I'll warn. But that is if I even make a lemon). Til then, this story stays PG 13. Glad you liked the last chapter and hope you like the others to come!
a/n: If I get a little bad on updates later on, it's not my fault. It's because of a lot of personal stuff like school, family, etc. This story is always on my mind though and I always try to think up on ideas so don't think the story has stopped updating for a while because I ran out of ideas (Unless it's another writer's block which I HOPE doesn't happen).
I've even bought a notebook to write ideas that pop into my head so I can immediately write them down so I won't forgot them. I first wrote this chapter down in my notebook and it came out to be 18 pgs (Front and back)! I've never written that much! Now you can see how devoted I am to my stories (Especially this one)!!! Read my other stories please and submit a review for them, I'd really appreciate it! Don't forget to review here either of course! Gomen (Sorry) for before about the whole writer's block, I hope this makes up for it. Abayo!!!!! (Good-bye)
"Knocking On Heaven's Door" isn't under my pen name, it's under "The Joker Girls" which is the account made by me and my all time favorite author Lasako! (The story was made by both of us so that's why it's under a whole different account). Summary to that story is in my FanFic profile and link to that story is under Favorite Stories. "Undefeatable Love" is a another good story made by me so go read it too. Oh and to those who like SailorMoon, read my one shot story "Can't Fight The MoonLight." Submit a review for all the stories, I'd really appreacite it!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The sun shined brightly through all the huts windows signaling a new day. The warmth of the morning sun waked a half asleep child. Takara slowly opened her eyes and tried to clear her vision. Takara sat up and rubbed her eyes. She yawned and placed her small fragile hand over her mouth. Once she closed her mouth, she placed her hand to her side and blinked a couple times before she could clearly see.
Takara looked around the hut and smiled brightly at what she saw. In a far end corner, she saw three shadows cuddled closely, keeping each other warm. By the few sun rays shinning in, Takara saw Inuyasha and Kagome resting on their side. Inuyasha had one of his arms around Kagome's waist and his head rested on Kagome's shoulder. Inuyasha's claw was placed on Kagome's stomach and Kagome had her hand over his. Shippou was cuddled into a ball on the couple's blanket.
Takara was going to move over to them to wake them, but a thought stopped her, "Where Daddy and Mommy?" Takara looked to her side and her smile grew. Sango was on her left, Miroku on her right, meaning of course she was in the middle. To Sango's side was Kirara resting peacefully (a/n: You guys thought I forgot about the cutest demon kitty huh?)
Takara felt something on her lap and looked to see what it was. She saw her parent's hands clasped together on her lap. Takara looked around again and saw somehow they were in a corner, on top of straw, with a blanket under and over them. Takara could of sworn before she went to sleep last night she was asleep in her father's lap. But she just threw that thought for later since she didn't care much, she liked it this way better anyway.
Takara layed back down into her parent's embrace. Miroku moved a bit once Takara placed her head down on the straw and blanket. Miroku released Sango's hand once Takara got comfortable. He placed his arm over Takara's chest and his hand on Sango's hips. Sango placed her arm around her daughter. Takara thought she woke them up, but when she looked at them both, she noticed they just moved in slumber to be comfy since they still had their eyes closed. Takara smiled one of her cutest and joyful smiles as she brought the blanket to her neck. She began to slowly close her eyes. As her vision became blurry and her world started to turn black, only one thought ran through her mind, "I'm happy."
~*~ Evening ~*~ "So you're staying right?," asked two impatient people and a small fox. "Yes we are," answered Sango for herself and her daughter. Even though Sango had already answered the same question a lot the day before, the others asked one more time today just to be sure she and her lovely daughter were really staying. It didn't hurt to ask more than twice anyway right? Maybe it can get a little annoying, but it won't hurt. Besides, Sango knew why they asked her that particular question so much, they cared. Sango appreciated it much that they were so concerned for her and for the new little member of the group. They actually wanted them to stay. One person wanted it more than the other and you all know who that is.
Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippou cheered for happiness once they heard Sango's answer. Well, Kagome and Shippou did most of the cheering, Inuyasha tried to hold in his excitement the best he could. Miroku looked to his side to see Sango with her head lowered, "For now," she whispered to herself for only her to hear, or so she thought.
Miroku slightly frowned and looked down to his lap. In his lap he found a happy and jumpy young child. Takara looked up at her father, "So we'll be staying here with Uncle Inuyasha and Aunt Kagome?!" Miroku put on a fake smile and that was all Takara needed for an answer. Takara jumped up and down in Miroku's lap, being completely fooled and oblivious to her father's false smile. Hey, she only knew him for what? Like three or four days? No, not even that much. Maybe about two days. So how was she suppose to know if her father was faking his smile at her at the moment?
Sango looked over at her two loved ones and gave a small smile. Sango sighed within herself, "Why do I feel so confused inside? I feel so happy that Takara finally has met her father and that I'm back with Miroku, but then that feeling is overpowered by the anger I hold for myself. I was dumb for leaving the way I did years ago. Leaving my friends, Miroku, and leaving my daughter to grow up seeing me sad. During those years I left, I was sad over the loss of my dear brother and the loss of the one I held so dear to me, Miroku. I was always trying to put a smile for Takara, but only managed to fake them. Takara's a smart girl, she saw right through those fake smiles. I should just be happy for now, Takara and I are back with the one guy that can make it all better."
Miroku and Sango looked at each other and their smiles grew. They were actually giving real smiles and they both knew it. "I can never have my child taken from me," thought Miroku, "Or my Sango." Kagome looked at the two love birds in front of them and she reached to grab Inuyasha's hand which was not so far away from hers since they were sitting really close to each other.
Kagome placed her hand over Inuyasha's and Inuyasha looked to his side to Kagome smiling and cheery. He gave a small smile back and slipped his fingers between hers. Kagome and Inuyasha tightened their hands together. Shippou saw everyone and frowned. Takara frowned as well when she saw Shippou's sadden expression, "What's wrong?"
Shippou shook his head to snap out of his small thoughts, "Nothing! Nothing at all," he spat out immediately to end suspicion on him. Shippou tried to push his tiny insignificant thoughts behind him, or so he thought they were so insignificant.
Takara wiggled out of her father's lap and stood up. She walked over to the doorway and stopped when she was almost outside the hut. She turned around and smiled at Shippou, "Coming?!" Shippou nodded as he stood up from his spot next to Kagome and ran to her with Kirara behind him.
Kagome watched as they ran outside together, holding hands, "Hmm interesting ............." She began to gather fluffy thoughts in her head and by her face expression, Inuyasha caught on pretty quick. The others just stared at her with a raised eyebrow.
"What's interesting?," asked Sango along with Miroku looking at Kagome directly for an explanation. Kagome snapped out of it once she saw Inuyasha giving her one of his 'Whatever it is, don't start' looks, Kagome knew them pretty well. Kagome waved her hands side to side nervously, "Nothing!" Miroku and Sango kept eyeing her as Inuyasha just rolled his eyes.
~*~ Outside ~*~ Takara and Shippou stopped when they were a few feet away from the hut and in the middle of a field. Kirara stopped in front of them and purred. Takara and Shippou looked down to see their hands still clasped tightly together. Takara and Shippou immediately pulled their hands away and looked to their sides. Takara could feel her cheeks burning. Kirara tilted her head to the side once she noticed a bit of red escaping Shippou's cheeks as well. If only cats could talk.
Takara looked back at Shippou and smiled to try to end the awkward silence, "What play now?" Shippou looked at Takara and thought for a moment, "How about hide-and-go-seek? Kagome taught me how to play it! It's easy." Takara clapped her hands together in joy. Shippou smiled as he figured out that Takara must be agreeing to playing the game from her actions at just hearing the name of the game. Shippou began explaining the game to Takara and it didn't take that long for Takara to get the idea of the game. She nodded after a 4 minute explanation by Shippou (a/n: Told you the girl was smart).
She poked Shippou on the side, "You're it!" Takara ran off to hide with Kirara close behind. Shippou went to a tree nearby and closed his eyes. "This is going to be so much fun," thought Shippou. He put his hands over his eyes and began counting, "1 ........... 2 ........... 3 ........... 4 ..........."
Takara hid in a bush near the small hut the adults were in. Kirara sat next to her as Takara parted the leaves to look at Shippou. Takara giggled a bit as Shippou tried to peek as he continued to count. Kagome looked outside from where she sat and saw Shippou counting against a tree, "Looks like they're playing a game." Sango smiled happily, "They became friends fast." Miroku nodded along with Inuyasha.
"47 ........... 48 ........... 49 ........... 50!" Shippou put his hands to his side and opened his eyes. Shippou turned around and looked around, "Ready or not, here I come!!!" Shippou began looking behind the tree he was counting on to make sure she wasn't there. Takara continued to giggle when she saw him looking for her behind the giant tree. Shippou then immediately after seeing she wasn't hiding where he first looked, he ran around and looked everywhere he could think of. Sango looked outside and saw Shippou running around. She laughed a bit at how persistent Shippou was.
Shippou stopped running around when his ear picked up on gentle child's laughter. He grinned and ran to a small healthy bush next to the hut. Takara noticed him running straight at her and she let go of the leaves to try to hide better. Shippou arrived at the bush he was running at and parted the leaves. He found a young girl on her knees with a cat now on her head, "Gotcha! You're it!"
Takara pouted a bit as Shippou ran off to hide. Sango and Miroku smiled when they saw Takara go to the tree Shippou was counting at before. Kagome laughed as Takara's parents peeked at her, "They're not doing anything wrong so you guys can stop spying." Sango and Miroku looked at Kagome. "We're not spying, we just like seeing Takara having fun," answered Miroku in their defense. Kagome continued to laugh, "I know, I was just playing. I like seeing Shippou enjoy himself too."
Takara didn't notice people were watching her so she just simply began counting as she closed her eyes and put her small hands over her eyes, "1 ........... 2 ........... ummm 5 ........... 37 ........... 4 ........... 22 ........... 13 ..........."
Inuyasha blinked as his ears picked up on Takara counting, "Haven't you taught her numbers yet?" Sango looked at Miroku who was giving her a look telling her to tell him also.
She sighed at the two men, "She's only 3 after all. She's not that good with numbers anyway. But she is really smart for her age. Some people say that it's like she has an 8 year old brain in a adorable 3 year old body. Except that her grammar is from a 3 year old too," Sango started laughing at what she just said along with Kagome. Mother humor I guess. "She'll surprise you in how smart she really is," Sango said in between laughter to the guys. Miroku joined in the laughter with the girls as Inuyasha kept listening to Takara count. Ok, I guess it's just parent humor, no wonder Inuyasha is not laughing along.
"I need to teach her numbers more later," replied Sango as she ended her giggle fit. Inuyasha waited until she calmed down to ask the question on his mind. He looked over at Sango, "Speaking of teaching, does she know how to fight?" Kagome stopped laughing along with Miroku at Inuyasha's question. Kagome twitched a bit as she observed Takara stop counting and now searching for Shippou from her spot, "She's only 3 Inuyasha!"
"There really is no reason for a delicate flower of our child," Miroku looked to his side at Sango as he continued, "To learn how to fight." Sango and Kagome nod in agreement. Inuyasha could see Takara running around looking for Shippou, then disappear into the woods, "Feh. It doesn't really matter anyway since she has her Uncle Inuyasha here to protect her!," exclaimed Inuyasha. Kagome giggled at how he said his title over Takara.
She smiled brightly, "And she has two loving parents to protect her as well." Sango smiled as she leaned to her side and put her head on Miroku's shoulder. "And I can still use my bow and arrow pretty well too!," yelled 'great aunt' Kagome. Kagome calmed her voice a bit to try to talk normally again, "It's not like any demon even comes here anymore ..........."
~*~ Tree ~*~ "Man where is she? It's been a long time," said Shippou in boredom and in a little concern. Of course he's concerned, she was a sweet girl and he knew just by looking at her the first time they met she's never fought at all in her small life. It's not like she needs to know how to fight anyway. That sometimes can lead to injuries that might wreck the beautiful girl's appearence. And plus scar her for life. "What am I thinking?! WHY am I thinking about all this?!," Shippou yelled at himself. He started hitting himself on the head, but then stopped after a few minor hits. He jumped down from the tree he was on and landed on the grass, "I better go look for her."
~*~ Woods ~*~ "Shippou!," Takara called out, "Shippou!" Takara sighed as she sat down on the grass near a small pond. She looked to her side and petted the cat that sat next to her, "I give up Kirara." Kirara purred in response. Takara sighed again as she looked at her reflection in the water, "This is where me and Mommy met Daddy!," she exclaimed when she recognized the surroundings.
She smiled as she remembered the night she got the chance to be in her father's embrace for the first time. The first time she saw her mother actually smile. "I just wish I could find Shippou here," said Takara as she came back to reality and stood up when she felt something annoying her from the bottom. She looked down and found she was sitting on a small rock. She picked it up and through it into the water, making the reflection of herself fade. As the water calmed and Takara could see her reflection again, she gasped when she spotted a large shadow over her.
~*~ Hut ~*~ "I mostly trained some villagers how to fight off a demon and took care of Takara," answered Sango after Kagome asked her a question. "So what do you guys do here?," asked Sango as she felt Miroku wrap his arm around her waist as she still had her head on his shoulder.
"Well other than help sick people in the village and care for Shippou, I do nothing really. Inuyasha and Miroku never did much either, nothing to do."
On Inuyasha's face a huge grin escaped his features, "WE DO do something else Kagome," said Inuyasha with a wink. Kagome got wide eyed and twitched tremendously. Miroku laughed hard at Inuyasha when he was unconscious on the ground with a huge lump on his head. Sango joined Miroku in the laughing when she saw Kagome standing over Inuyasha's body with her hand closed in a fist.
Miroku turned around when he heard someone breathing behind him, "Where's Takara Shippou?" Sango stopped laughing and also turned around to face Shippou with a worried face.
"I don't know, I thought she came back here," answered Shippou as he received the stares from Takara's now very worried parents. Sango stood up from her spot next to Miroku and ran outside in deep concern. Miroku ran behind her in search of their daughter. Inuyasha got up while rubbing the new lump on his head and glared at Shippou, "How could you just lose her like that?!"
Shippou backed away a bit the moment he heard the tone Inuyasha was using. He felt like he was about to get punished for his dumb move by his 'dad.' "I didn't lose her on purpose! We were playing hide-and-go-seek and she was it. I was hiding and waiting for her to come get me, but she never did. It's been a long while since I've really seen her," answered Shippou in a sad voice.
"It wasn't your fault Shippou. I bet she's just lost in the woods still trying to find you, she'll be found soon, don't worry! Especially that she has Kirara by her side," said Kagome in an attempt to try to comfort her adopted son. Inuyasha stood frozen when he picked up on disturbing scents. Kagome and Shippou both noticed his face expression, "What is it?!!!," they both exclaimed at the same time.
Kagome stared at Inuyasha for an answer with worry visible in her soft brown eyes. Shippou began glaring at Inuyasha for an answer. "It's Kirara's blood and a demon's," he paused before continuing, "And Takara's blood." Kagome gasped and stood still, but Shippou instead ran out of the hut the second Inuyasha told them.
~*~ Pond ~*~ Takara fell into the water as she was pushed back into the pond. Takara shook her head to move her wet hair from her face. She looked forward and saw Kirara laying on the grass near a tree. Her chest was moving up and down so it meant that Kirara was still breathing and alive. Takara sighed in relief for Kirara, but her relief was cut short when she turned her sight and watched in fear as a giant black snake demon with red stripes running down its body hissed at her. "Stupid snake hit kitty," thought Takara as she remembered how Kirara was attacked. She remembered Kirara transforming and growling at the snake to protect Takara. The demon shot venon at Kirara and now she's not moving, barely breathing.
"What you want with me?!," screamed Takara for an explanation for the snake's sudden attack. She stood up, trembling in constant fear and agony. Her side was hurting badly and she knew exactly why. She placed her hand to try to stop the blood from flowing from the wound caused by the demon's deadly bite. Takara's vision was becoming blurry.
"You have it! I must have it!" The demon snake stretched out its scaly body before darting at Takara like an arrow. Takara shut her eyes and began crying in fear for her own life. She opened her eyes when she heard someone yell the words 'Fox Fire!' She screamed out Shippou's name in happiness. Shippou landed in front of her as the snake shook its head to try to shake off the small flame burn. Shippou turned around and grabbed Takara's hand, "We have to go, come on!"
"Me side hurt and Kirara hurt too!," screamed Takara in protest. Shippou tried to pull Takara away, but Takara wouldn't budge. He looked at Takara and saw her bleeding. He gasped, "Oh no!" He looked up when he heard the snake hissing above. He pushed Takara out of the way as the snake landed over Shippou and dragged him into the depths of the pond with it. Takara landed on the grass on her hands and knees soaking wet. She looked over her shoulder and screamed out Shippou's name when she didn't see him or the giant black demon snake. All she saw was the large circles in the water formed by the giant dive the snake took.
She looked at a tree and saw Kirara trying to stand up, but the pain rushing through her body didn't give her permission. Takara started crying as she sat down on the grass Indian style. She looked at her hands and saw the red sticky liquid. Her tears kept pouring as her yells grew louder. Abruptly, a light was emitted from her hands. She blinked a few times to try to clearly see what was happening. The glow seemed to show the colors of a rainbow, "Pretty .....," thought Takara. Kirara from a far watched in amazement as well.
The light colors disappeared and Takara's hands were now clean, no sign of blood on them. Takara blinked a few times in surprise to see her hands clean and to see an object now in her hands. It was a white clear ball much larger than a marble that emitted different color lights when Takara lifted it into the sun's rays. Takara observed it a while before she turned her attention to the water when she heard air bubbles rising and popping. She stood up, limping, and looked closely at the shimmering water which got its glitter from the morning sun still shinning brightly above the area.
A huge black snake appeared shooting out of the water with a tiny fox between its fangs. Takara gasped when the snake spit out the tiny creature next to her. With all her strength she went to his side, "Shippou!," she cried. Kirara saw Shippou and also tried to go to his side, but her strength was very limited and the pain was overpowering. All she could do was lay down and watch.
Shippou opened his eyes slowly, "Takara?" Shippou's vision began to clear to see a beautiful young girl with tears forming in her dark blue eyes, "Are you Ok Takara?" Takara nodded as her small tears slid down her cheek, "This is all my fault!"
"No it's not. You had nothing to do with this," spoke Shippou to try to end the girl's guilt. He couldn't feel his body, all he could move was his eyes, mouth, and barely his arms. He started to wish his nose would not work at the moment either because the scent of Takara's blood was disturbing. He got angered from every wiff, "Fucking demon!," he kept repeating in his head. Wow, who knew Shippou knew those kind of words! His thoughts were taken away when he focuzed his sight to Takara's hands when he saw a glow, "What's that?"
Takara sniffed and tried to control her crying as she looked down to her hands, "Me don't know, it came out of me hands," answered Takara as she showed Shippou the object in hand. Shippou became wide eyed, "That's the ..........."
Takara turned around when she heard a scary voice, "I must have it! Give it to me! " Takara screamed as the demon slithered its way to Takara. Shippou and Kirara tried to get up to protect her, but both failed in doing so. Shippou became very worried for Takara and once again tried to do something, anything. He couldn't let that stupid demon get her, he could never forgive himself if it did. He knew he was weak, now more than ever in his condition, but he had to do anything he could, or at least try. No, trying wasn't enough. He HAD to do something. He growled within himself when he couldn't move. Takara noticed his struggle to get up and admired him for it. She grabbed onto Shippou's body while shutting her eyes tight, waiting to get attacked.
"Iron Reiver Soul Stealer!" Takara opened her eyes and let go of Shippou. She looked at the demon and grew wide eyed as she watched in amazement. Inuyasha landed in front of Takara who was on her knees next to Shippou's almost motionless body. Takara looked away from Inuyasha when she heard her parents calling her name, "Mommy! Daddy!"
Sango knelt down next to Takara and hugged her, relieved she was still alive. She let out a big gasp when she saw all the blood Takara had on her clothes. Shippou was picked up into Miroku's arms as he knelt down next to Sango. Miroku looked to a tree and saw Kirara trying to walk to them. He stood up and ran to her. He also picked her up and walked back to kneel down next to Sango and Takara again.
An arrow was shot at the snake's head. The snake hissed and directed its deadly stare at Kagome. His blood shot red eyes sent shivers down Kagome's spine. "Hey!" The demon directed its gaze over at Inuyasha, "Don't you know that picking on little kids is wrong. And especially picking on those kids was an extremely stupid move!" Inuyasha jumped up into the air and was now hovering over the snake's head, "Eat this ! ! ! ! ! ! !" Inuyasha brought down his trusty sword that he had over his head and directed it straight at the demon's stomach.
Blood and screams were heard as the snake's body was split in two. Inuyasha grinned as he landed near Kagome, "Damn bastard." He put his sword away in its shieth as it transformed back to normal, "I wonder why the fuck he attacked those two." He looked to his side to see Kagome with a worried look, "What's wrong Kagome?"
"I sense the Shikon No Tama," answered Kagome as she looked at the snake's body which was still moving. Even dead, it was still scaring her a bit. Inuyasha looked at Kagome like she was crazy. Kagome knew he was giving her that face even though she never looked at him, she kept her sight on the demon who has caused this whole mess and chaos.
"What the hell are you talking about? The jewel disappeared when we made our wish on," Inuyasha paused for a moment and whispered, "Kikyou ...." Kagome didn't like the way Inuyasha said Kikyou's name, but she decided to deal with it later. "The jewel! I must have the jewel," spoke the head of the snake that was slowly disintegrating. Sango and Miroku who were observing from a far gasped when the demon's head talked. Kagome and Inuyasha got closer to it, "What was that?!," ordered Inuyasha.
"I must have the jewel. For then my master can have it," slithered the snake's head. Kagome raised an eyebrow at the nasty creature while Inuyasha just growled at it, "Master?! Who's your fucking master?!," screamed a pissed off Inuyasha. The demon's head laughs evilly, "You'll meet her soon ......," replied the head before it disappeared into then air.
"Damn it!," screamed Inuyasha in frustration. Kagome sighed, "Why does this all have to start again?", she thought to herself as memories of all the bad events that happened before and when they fought that devil Naraku rushed back. Kagome shook those thoughts away quickly and walked over to the others. Sango held Takara in her arms as Miroku stood and handed Shippou to his mother.
Kirara was still in Miroku's arms, trying her best to stay alive. Shippou's blood was covered over his clothes as the same was said for Takara. Sango and Miroku were covered in the blood of the people they had in their arms while a little blood of the demon was on Inuyasha's kimono. Shippou's blood was starting to dry on his clothes so his blood didn't get on Kagome's priestess kimono.
Inuyasha began to get aggravated with all the smells of blood reaching his sensitive nose. He could take that demon's blood, actually, that was the blood he wanted to smell the most, it proved he got rid of the fucking bastard. But the blood of the others really ticked him off. He didn't want to smell those people's blood, they didn't deserve to be losing their precious lifeline. If he sniffed in those disturbing scents, it made Inuyasha realize that he might lose those kids. NO! He won't lose them, they'll be just fine. Inuyasha kept repeating that in his head, "They'll be fine. Just fine ...."
Inuyasha's repeating thoughts were cut short when Miroku spoke up from the silence hovering above all of them, "They've all lost a lot of blood, but thankfully they'll be fine," said Miroku in everyone's relief.
Kagome looked down at Shippou who had his eyes barely open, "Rest Shippou." Shippou closed his eyes as Inuyasha came and stood next to Kagome, "Is Takara Ok?," asked Shippou in concern.
Inuyasha nodded, "She'll be just fine pup, rest already." Shippou smiled with his eyes still closed and Kagome smiled as well when they both heard Inuyasha call Shippou pup. Shippou may not be Kagome's and Inuyasha's actual kid, but he did come close and they loved him as if he was really their child. Shippou loved Inuyasha and Kagome as if they were his true parents, even though Inuyasha sometimes didn't act like a dad and acted as if he didn't care much for Shippou. But always in the end, Inuyasha proved he truly does care in his own unique way.
Takara closed her eyes once the loss of blood got to her. She let her hand fall to her side and her fingers lost their grip on the large pearl in her small hand. Sango looked as Miroku knelt down and picked it up. Everyone gasped at the sight of the suppose to be gone Shikon Jewel.

Queen of Koorime - Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try to make it less confusing and easier to read. Even if it's punctuation mistakes, tell me so I can fix it if you have time to do so, LoLz. I'm really happy you like the story and thanks for submitting a review on it. I hope later my chapters get less problems with grammar and stuff so people don't get confused while reading it. Thanks again and hope you like this new chapter!
Zero27 - I now mentioned what Sango is going to do at the moment. For now, she'll stay with the group, later she might leave I think, I don't know yet. Isn't it kinda weird that even the author doesn't know? LoLz I'm happy you liked the chapter and I'm happy to hear from you again. Hope you like the story's plot so far (Even though no one really knows what it is, not even my best best friends know because I want to keep it secret, hehe). Anyway, thanks for the review!
FireGoddess - Again it's a long review and again I love it! I'm happy you thought it was funny and good! At first when I read it I was like: I bet others will hate the chapter and think it's a bit corny, but you along with others proved me wrong! Next time try to read my new chapters when you're mom's not sleeping so you don't get caught, I don't want you to get in trouble because of me. ^.^ Sorry the new chapter came out a little late, but I had to update my other story too since I made 3 continous chapters for this one. Plus the whole writer's block thing, LoLz I'm happy you had a great time on your week trip! Hope you like this chapter, chat with you later!
Lil'Lyn713 - What do you want me to do? Do you want me to make you the pen name for you? I'll be happy too, just tell me in a review and I'll send you by email the information. Actually you have to send me the information to make your fanfiction account (Tell me what name you want and your age). I'll say it now though, if I can't make it with that email you gave me, then I suggest you make one at yahoo or hotmail, it's free.
Old Response - Sorry I could't email you with my response, but I made sure to respond back to you here. Wow, that's some favor. I've never had someone ask me that. I really don't know, I'd have to think about it. And I wouldn't really mind if the story had lemons, I like them, LoLz Anyway, back to the favor you asked. I can do something better for you if you want. I can make your own account on FanFic so you can get reviews at your own email and do your own profile. Believe me, it's nice to have your own pen name. Tell me what you think of my offer. Oh and thanks for reading my story!
Chichibean - Glad to hear from you again! LoLz I always keep writing even though sometimes I don't update as much. But hey, reviews inspire me to keep writing so I do. I saw a review from you for my best friend's story, Hell On Earth, and I'm happy you like her story too! I bet Maria is more happy since that's her story. LoLz I'm so happy you like both stories so far and hope you enjoy the rest of this story once I make the new chapters.
Harmony - That's totally true! When you think everything's Ok and great, the next thing you know everything falls apart! I hate when that happens, but oh well, I can't change what happens after it happens. I hope the characters don't hate me so much that they leave in the middle of the story because I make their life a living hell. HeHe Thanks for the review!
Vampire-Elf - You were the first one ever to IM me from getting my s/n from my FanFic profile, thanks! I know it sounds kinda weird to thank you for that, but hey, I'm weird and everyone knows that (And if you didn't know, now you do). I like your idea of making Kagome have a child. I thought about it before I made the story, but I concluded I won't make her have a child at the moment. But you never know, she might later ^.~ I do like making lemons for my stories, but if you read my other story "Undefeatable Love" you'd see why I made this story PG 13. I suck at lemons! At the moment, I'm revising those lemons and trying to make them better, wish me luck! If I get to a point where I can't take it anymore I will try to make a lemon the best I can for this story (Don't worry, others who don't like that can just skip over the chapter, I'll warn. But that is if I even make a lemon). Til then, this story stays PG 13. Glad you liked the last chapter and hope you like the others to come!
a/n: If I get a little bad on updates later on, it's not my fault. It's because of a lot of personal stuff like school, family, etc. This story is always on my mind though and I always try to think up on ideas so don't think the story has stopped updating for a while because I ran out of ideas (Unless it's another writer's block which I HOPE doesn't happen).
I've even bought a notebook to write ideas that pop into my head so I can immediately write them down so I won't forgot them. I first wrote this chapter down in my notebook and it came out to be 18 pgs (Front and back)! I've never written that much! Now you can see how devoted I am to my stories (Especially this one)!!! Read my other stories please and submit a review for them, I'd really appreciate it! Don't forget to review here either of course! Gomen (Sorry) for before about the whole writer's block, I hope this makes up for it. Abayo!!!!! (Good-bye)
