********** Escaped and Ready To fight **********

*Back in regular Japan, ready to fight.*

Inuyasha, Kagome, and Takara finally returned back home. For everyone was safe indeed. Inuyasha and Kagome couldn't be any happier knowing the whole time her daughter was alive as she thought of her self struggle. She pulled Inuyasha to the side, to have a quick chat with him, he was basically crying. (that's not normal for Inuyasha.)

"Inuyasha..." Kagome asked tapping her finger upon his shoulder. "Can I talk with you a minute?" She looked kind of concerned.

"Yes Hun." He nodded and followed her out in the garden, giving Takara a sign to stay inside.

They went for a walk around the backyard and near by was a forest with the most beautiful river running though it. Kagome grabbed Inuyasha's hand and led him to the river where they sit together.

"Inuyasha I am worried." She went on "I am so happy we have a child, it is the best thing that ever happen to us. But she is in danger as we speak, she is almost 10 what are we to do with her?"

Inuyasha agreeing with her, nodded and listened to her comments. He knew she was right but all he cared about was making her heart stay whole and no more tears from her eyes. Every time she would cry he had the urge to kill something, or someone. He could actually feel and sense her pain of her heart that needed mending.

"Inuyasha I think we should stay away from the Futile Era for at least a few more years. Or at least me a Takara." She said turning to her side and giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Your right Kagome." He said grabbing her waist and pulling her up to him. "I mean we haven't been alone in almost ten years, we need to fix something."

"Inuyasha we have nothing to fix, you go save the world I will be right here, guiding your heart and guarding our baby girl. Nothing more I can say." She pleaded staring into his tearful eyes.

Inuyasha nodded gave her a passionate kiss on the lips and picked her up. He walked her back to her mom's house, where Takara and Kagome's mom were having a tea party. They walked in, Inuyasha and Kagome explained what they did and her mom and Takara both agreed with their decision.

*Takara was 10, this is 5 years later.... She is now 15*

The last 5 years they had followed that theory. Inuyasha went to battle as Kagome stayed and fight. Inuyasha would come home day after day covered in bruises and cuts. Kagome getting a little worried about Takara growing and watching Inuyasha suffer after battles. Inuyasha knew it would be time, Takara needed to learn to fight with them; she was now old enough and stronger than Kagome could be. She could not sense jewel shards or anything like Kagome..... but she had the same powers as Inuyasha, only a little weaker.

Takara's power was master of fire. Like Inuyasha was sword and Kagome was well Kagome. She didn't have much power, but Takara was the master of fire, she had a little of every kind of fire. Since she was mixed breeds she was also learned to be a witch. She knew spells even the most powerful demons didn't know, such as Naraku.

Takara was out in the garden training for her first battle with Inuyasha. Inuyasha had a saying that would always run through her mind. ::Be the best that you can be, fight the best you can fight, and save the best you feel you can:: She would rephrase this line so she had it stuck in her head, and couldn't get it out.

"Takara grasp your staff like this," Inuyasha said showing her how, showing her she needed to grasp the middle so she could pick it up. "Your hand should be in the upper middle so you have room to move it."

"Dad I know," she rolled her eyes; like any typical teenager. "I have done this before I am ready to fight, now will you please let me go down to the Futile Era? And no bringing pictures of me this time. Especially to Miroku!" She mumbled

"Takara you can't walk until you learn to crawl, in other words you can battle until you get practice. You want to prove your ready? Then do it.... Slice that tree into four parts." He said pointing a tree near the Bone Eaters Well.

She held out her staff and said a chant. She cast it out causing the tree to split horizontally and vertically. "Ha now I can go down."

"Lucky shot Tak, but can you make another tree into eight or sixteen slices?" he asked raising an eyebrow. She tried it and she couldn't do it. "See what I mean?" she rolled her eyes.

"Dad who needs to cut trees?" she said still rolling her eyes.

"It's basic training." He told her "You need to learn basics." He said placing his hand upon her shoulder.

"Fine than I will ask mom." She said walking toward the house. Inuyasha just sit backs and relaxes he knows what she is going to say.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

Back at the house.... Kagome was inside doing the laundry and cleaning the kitchen. Takara came in and sat at the table.

"Mom I need to talk to you." She said placing her hand on her mother's

"What is it Takara?" she said asking like it was a big deal.

"Dad is acting over precautious again, he said I can't go till I cut a tree in eighths or sixteenths." She said, after saying, she rests her head on her hand and listens to Kagome.

"Takara your father knows the business you really should listen to him." She tells her. Than she leans over to Takara and whispers in her ear, "You can go fight, I will deal with Inuyasha later." She smiled

"Thank you, thank you mother!" Takara said giving her a quick hug and kiss and running out the door. While she was running Inuyasha spotted her, but didn't bother to stop her. Inuyasha ran inside.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked while she was sitting at the table starring at the door.

"Yes Inuyasha, I suspect you are here about Takara leaving right?" She said with a giggle.

"Why yes actually, you didn't tell her she could go did you!" He said looking at her eyes. Kagome let out a little giggle and quietly said,

"Yes."

"WHAT!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome stood up and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Calm down, she wanted to go she will find out what she is really in for. Your job is to follow her. NOW GO!" Kagome said opening the door and threw him out over the deck. "See how she does."

Inuyasha was a little frustrated but didn't say anything just ran to the well and hoped through.
