Sanosuke- Arigatou!! Well, I have written how Masaru got Gene's crew, but unfortunately it's a little further down, maybe next chapter. Also, he didn't get all of Gene's crew, just Jim and Melfina. I haven't said anything about Aisha and Susuka yet, but you will find out about them soon enough. As for Rain, I put a bit on her in here as well, but it's after the Jim and Melfina bit. Oh and of course I couldn't leave out Masaru and why he's doing all of this.

youkai chick supreme- I'd have to say that this follows Tenchi Universe, mostly because Kiyone is in here, whom is introduced in this chapter!! So, I'd have to say that no, Washu isn't Ryoko's mother in this version!!

Sorry this one took me so long to post!! I was going to post it last Sunday, but the power in the apartment complex went out for most of the day. Then I came down with a cold! Oh well!! This is a much-anticipated chapter for some of you. Sorry to have kept you waiting, now without further ado.. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Love Has No Boundaries

Chapter 9: Dangerous Thought

"Excuse me, Washu was it?" Miroku went over to Washu and crouched down to get a better view.

"Huh, why yes and you are?"

"My name is Miroku. I am one of Kagome's friends. You said you knew that someone was going to kidnap Kagome. Do you know who?"

"Are you from the past? Yes, I knew she was going to be kidnapped, but I'm not sure who was behind it. Hey, I have a great idea. Ryoko, Ayeka, Miroku is there somewhere we can talk that's more private?"

Ayeka looked around. "What are you talking about Washu? This is the woods remember?"

"I know that. Let's go over there." Washu pointed to the other side of the campsite, then looked at InuYasha. "Can you handle that guy till we get back?"

"Huh? Yeah I can handle him." InuYasha clinched the kitsune's shirt tighter.

"I won't let him get away either," Huca said. She still had an arrow trained on the kitsune.

"Good." Washu looked at Ryoko, Ayeka, and Miroku. "Shall we go have a chat?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Once out of earshot of the kitsune, Washu unfurled her plan.

"What are you talking about Washu?" Ryoko said.

"I'll explain it again. If you let that kitsune go, he will go back to his boss, which will lead us to Kagome. So, I have the perfect tracking device to plant on him. I'm going to send Kiyone there with the device."

"Can you track him if he disappears?" Miroku asked.

"Yes, I've tested it on Ryoko and it works fine."

"You what?" Ryoko yelled as she glared at Washu.

"It was a harmless experiment. You didn't even know you were participating." Washu laughed. Two small figures, resembling Washu, appeared on her shoulders. "You are a genius Washu!" One said, followed shortly by "Washu, you're the greatest!" from the other. Washu laughed louder. "I am a genius."

"Ah, Washu?" Ayeka said.

"What? Oh, I'm sending Kiyone right now." With that Washu's figure disappeared.

After a few minutes, a hole appeared in the air between Ayeka's group and InuYasha. A girl seemed to fall threw the hole and onto the ground. She lay there for a moment before getting up. She dusted herself off and put her hand to her head. "Washu? Are you trying to kill me?"

The hole disappeared and Kiyone looked around. She spotted Ayeka and Ryoko and walked over to them. "Where is the guy we have to plant this thing on?" she said softly.

They motioned to the guy being held in a death grip by InuYasha. "The guy that the silver haired man is holding. Who are you and where did you come from?" Miroku walked over to the spot that Kiyone had appeared from and ran his hands over the area that the hole had been.

"I'm Kiyone. Who are you and who is that silver hair guy?"

"The silver hair guy is a demon," Ryoko spat out.

"Why yes he is. His name is InuYasha. My name is Miroku. You know you're very pretty."

"Save the speech. I know what your going to ask me and the answer is no."

"What?" Miroku was very confused. "But how?"

"Washu is a genius. We've been watching you for the past couple of hours." Kiyone turned to Ayeka and Ryoko. "Ok, let me tell you what Washu told me."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ha, if you think I'm going to tell you anything? Your crazy."

"Tell me where you took Kagome. If she's hurt, I will kill you." InuYasha was staring into the kitsune's eyes.

"You won't get anything out of me. Stop wasting your time. It will be worth it to see your face when he gets done with her."

At that moment a girl dropped out of the sky. InuYasha dropped the kitsune as he stared at the girl. The kitsune tried to wiggle away, but before he could go anywhere, InuYasha grabbed his shirt again. "Where do you think you are going?"

"InuYasha, I said I wouldn't let him get away."

InuYasha glanced at Huca. "What are you? There are only a few people that I have ever seen display the power's that you've displayed."

"I don't know. I never shot an arrow before I killed those things, whatever they are. I just felt a surge of power. I'm still feeling it, but I don't know where it's coming from."

"Sounds like you need to talk to Kagome about this." He returned his attention to the kitsune. "Where is she?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Are you awake?"

Kagome eye's snapped open and she sprang to her feet. 'When did I fall sleep?' She glanced around the room she was in. She didn't see anyone. "Where are you?"

"I'm not in there. It was very easy to kidnap you. You can't possibly be the powerful priestess that everyone is so afraid of."

"Who are you? Where am I?"

"In time my dear. That is not important right now. Let's see."

Kagome felt a hand touch her on the shoulder. She turned around and was greeted with darkness.

"Don't be so jumpy. Just relax."

"What are you going to do to me?"

"Nothing, I'm just checking the status of your powers."

"The what? Are you crazy?"

"Relax."

Kagome felt the hand slid down her back and jumped when it reached her butt. "Don't touch me there." The voice ignored her and the hand continued down her legs then came back up her front side.

"I see. Very interesting indeed, we are going to have to fix that little problem. I bet you don't even know about that other thing."

"What are you talking about? What little problem? What is the other thing?"

"You will know in time. Get some rest, I will return for you later."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Let him go? Your nuts." InuYasha had his hand on the handle of tetsusaiga as he yelled at Miroku.

"Relax," Miroku leaned closer to InuYasha and said softly, "we have a plan. Trust me just this once."

"Ha, trust you? You forget I know how you are." InuYasha didn't look to impressed. He grabbed Miroku's shirt and dragged Miroku close to his face. InuYasha snarled. "This had better work or you'll be a dead monk."

Miroku laid his left hand on InuYasha's. "This isn't my plan. It's Washu's and I think it will work. I'll tell you about it later."

"Grr, I don't trust them. Especially that demon and what about that girl with the logs? Who are they and what do they want with my Kagome?"

"I think they are here to help. Look, lets trust them for right now. If they were meaning to do anything with Kagome, they would have done it before we arrived."

"Feh, whatever." He released Miroku and crossed his arms across his chest.

Miroku stumbled back a few feet. He balanced himself and turned to watch Kiyone untie the kitsune.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Your letting me go? You really don't want to see your friend alive again."

A loud growl filled the silence and all eyes turned to InuYasha. Miroku grabbed him and InuYasha hit him on the head. "He said their going to kill Kagome. Let me go!"

"InuYasha! Boy do I wish she were here right now. Stop hitting me."

"Why? If she were here, we wouldn't be going threw this right now."

Ryoko walked over, grabbed InuYasha and dragged both him and Miroku across the campsite.

"Get your hands off me bitch!"

"Shut up! You sure do complain a lot." Ryoko dropped them and turned around standing over them. She lowered her voice. "We will get her back."

"Feh, you think I trust you? You've got to be kidding." InuYasha stood up, dusting himself off.

"Take that silly hat off. You look stupid." Ryoko reached out and tried to grab the hat.

InuYasha swatted her hand away and took the hat off. "There are you satisfied bitch?"

Ryoko stared at his head. "Dog ears? You're just a puppy. How cute!?!"

"Grr, who are you calling a puppy." Miroku grabbed InuYasha's shirt just before he launched himself at Ryoko.

"InuYasha, this is not the time to fight. You forget that she's a demon also."

"I didn't forget monk."

"Monk? That explains the staff. So what on earth was that in your hand? A black hole?"

"More like an air void." Miroku released InuYasha. "It comes in handy sometimes."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The kitsune disappeared and Kiyone looked up. "Ok, I planted it on him. Washu should have started tracking him already. It's too late to do anything further tonight. We should try to get some sleep."

"I suggest we stay as a group," Ayeka said.

"But there are only two tents," Huca said looking concerned.

"The girls get the tents, the guys will have to rough it," Kiyone suggested.

"Feh, I'm used to sleeping in trees anyway. Doesn't matter to me," InuYasha said as he glanced around for a good tree to jump in. He spotted one just above the tents, hopped in the air, alighted upon a branch, and settled himself against the tree trunk.

"You girls have a good night," Miroku said as he walked over to the same tree InuYasha was in and sat down against the trunk, resting his staff against the tree.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

InuYasha glanced around. The other's had fallen asleep hours ago. He shifted against the tree and stared out into the night. 'Kagome, where are you? Do I want her to be my girlfriend? Of course I do, but then there's Kikyo. I told Kikyo that I was hers. Why does this have to be so difficult? Kagome said she wouldn't get in the way of Kikyo and myself. I wish Kikyo would stop wandering the earth and die peacefully. Oh man, did I just think that? Do I like Kagome that much? Miroku said that I am in love with her. That can't be right or can it? I can't sleep, not until Kagome is safe and sound in my arms. Oh man, I'm really loosing it.' InuYasha shook his head, closed his eyes, and pictured Kagome lying against him, his arms wrapped around her. He smiled as he watched Kagome's image snuggle against him in her sleep. 'That's the way it should be. She's mine; it's my fault for not staking my claim long ago. When I get her back, I will do just that.'

He smiled as other thoughts entered his mind. Thoughts that he never thought he could have. He had seen Kagome naked before, but now he was picturing her naked in a different way. He was on top of her. He gasped and opened his eyes. 'What am I thinking? She's not that kind of girl. That was a nice thought though. I have to get that out of my head otherwise that'll be the first thing I think of when I see her again.' He shook his head and banged it on the tree behind him. He banged his head once more and stopped when he felt a little dizzy. He closed his eyes and tried to remember his kissing daydream.
