Chapter 4- The beginning of the end...

Kagome had let the arrow fly to his heart and Naraku stood still, his energy draining. Kagome was standing outside, it started to rain and she became drenched. She stood there, her hair dripping water, her face soaked, her clothes dirty and wet, her shoes muddy. InuYasha turned to look at her, he was losing it and his beautiful wife stood there calmly staring back at him, she moved her lips, but he couldn't hear her, come to think of it, he couldn't hear anything. He screamed, no one took notice, although weak, Naraku had enough power to play mind games. InuYasha rubbed water from his eyes and blinked a few times, a vortex of wind had appeared behind Naraku, hi found the vortex's weak point and slashed the Tetsaiga at it. Naraku's head flew off, and dispersed, as well as the rest of his body.

InuYasha felt himself get pulled down and he freaked. He almost slashed Kagome in the face! She was hugging him, "InuYasha! You did it! I was worried, poor Mai, she was fretting, she kept asking me if daddy was going to die, and I told her I wouldn't let him, then she smiled at me." InuYasha smiled at this and took a deep breath. Mai came running outside, and even though it was raining she didn't trip and ran right into InuYasha's arms screaming 'daddy'. InuYasha picked her up and held her close to him, Mai was happy and hugged onto his neck, refusing to let him go. Kagome went over and tapped Mai on the shoulder, Mai turned around, and jumped out of her father's arms into her mothers, Kagome hugged her daughter tightly and whispered in her ear, 'what did I tell you, hmm?'

"Mai, Tominari, why don't you all have a sleepover at my house tonight, eh? You can play with Kenji and Kari." Rin suggested. The 4 children yelled happily and Mai and Tominari proceeded to beg their parents to let them go. All six parents laughing, Rin herded the 4 children into her house, the other 4 parents thanked her and went into InuYasha's house to discuss what had just happened privately, before they began Sesshomaru walked in and included himself into the conversation.

"That was weird, Naraku showing up again." Sango said first.

"I know why, last time, don't you remember, ((I didn't see it so I don't know, I'm making something up)) last time we got rid of him, a small piece of his soul remained. We thought nothing of it, so we just let it go." Miroku said hesitantly.

'That wasn't smart little brother." Sesshomaru put in.

"Yes, I know, and I put you Kagome and our unborn child in danger, I'm sorry." InuYasha said leaning his head on her shoulder.

"InuYasha, it's okay, the baby is fine, right?" She asked.

"Yes, I suppose you and the child are fine, but I'm still sorry." InuYasha said his eyes becoming big and puppy-ish.

"InuYasha," Kagome started, then Kagome starting breathing hard, the towel she had put on her shoulders dropped away. Sango knew what was going on and shooed the men out of the room.

"Kagome's giving birth InuYasha?" Miroku and Sesshomaru asked at the same time. InuYasha could only nod. Many screams and hours later Kagome had a son. InuYasha came into the room to look at his son, Miroku and Sesshomaru looked as well and both asked his name, "If it's okay with Kagome his name will be Kaite. ((pronounced, kai-eat-tay.)) Kagome nodded then fell asleep. "She was tired." Sango said. InuYasha carried her upstairs and put her under the covers of their bed and pulled the blanket over her, then he let Sango take hold of Kaite. They discussed Naraku a little more and then everyone else 'cept for Sango went home.

2 years later...

Kaite and Mai became best friends, they had so much fun, even though Kaite was only a baby and Mai was 12. All the children loved to play with each and have fun, Mai always made sure Kaite never got left out. Kagome was surprised at how much Mai cared for her brother. InuYasha got bored at fought with his brother to keep his skills sharp in case he needed them. Kagome couldn't be happier. Everyone forgot all about the Naraku incident but it wasn't over yet.

In Naraku's castle far away...

"Poor Naraku, when you kindled my distrust for InuYasha, I fell in love with you and I vowed to help you no matter what, and although you're dead, I'll help you kill them all, we will kidnap Kaite. How devastated InuYasha will be, oh well, then we can kill her." A shadowed woman laughed maniacally. A small dragon flew up to the woman and in her hands the soul- bringing dragon dropped Naraku's soul into her hands, she continued talking to the little ball of light about how she would torture InuYasha.

Back near everyone's houses...

"Shippou's back!" yelled Kagome. Shippou had gone to Kaede for a little bit, but now he was back. Shippou was older now, 5 years older then Kari, Kenji, Mai and Tominari. So he seemed a little bigger when he came back, but when he came back he wasn't just bigger he was insane.

"KIKYO!" Shippou shouted, then the little kitsune went crazy, the normally sane kitsune had lost his little mind.

Miroku whacked him on the head with his staff, and in a droning voice told Shippou to tell them everything he could remember about the last week. "Yessir. Well, after I left all of you and headed to Kaede's Kikyo came. She told me to follow her and be her slave and so I trained with her for the last week, she told me many things but they are secrets I can't tell you." The kitsune droned.

"SHIPPOU! Tell me now, what did she tell you, tell us, you can trust us we won't tell." Miroku whacked the kitsune again.

"Promise?" the kitsune asked. Everyone nodded and the kitsune lowered his voice, "She's going to kidnap Kaite and then Mai will follow and InuYasha and Kagome will follow them and then she'll kill the children and then kill InuYasha and torture Kagome."

When the small kitsune finished they all gasped, this wasn't good. InuYasha couldn't believe his ears; luckily his children were inside playing with everyone else. Kagome was in so much shock, she fainted. InuYasha picked her up and in his arms brought her inside and tucked her away in their bedroom. He came back outside and saw that his brother, his brother's wife and his friends were talking quietly. Miroku had grabbed the kitsune by his collar and hadn't let go; he was trying to pry more info from the poor fox child.

"Shippou, where is Kikyo?" Miroku asked kindly.

"I'm not sure." The kitsune answered.

"Could you take us there?" Miroku asked.

"Maybe." The kitsune said, getting annoyed.

"Could you take us there?" Miroku asked again. Miroku held the kitsune by his tail now.

"Yes, yes! Put me down." The kitsune said eagerly.

"Miroku don't kill him." Sango said softly.

"Fine." Miroku said dropping him.

"Owww!" said the moaning kitsune.

"It isn't his fault, don't be so hard." Spoke up Rin.

"Yes, Rin is right Miroku, what could a child do against Kikyo?" Sesshomaru added, putting his arm around his wife's shoulder.

"Nothing, no one could've done anything, because its obvious she put a spell on him that hasn't worn off yet, but we best move fast, when the spell wears off, he wont remember a thing." InuYasha said irritably, then continuing he said, "I left a note for Kagome and I told all the pups and Tominari we were going out and to behave for Kagome."

"Good idea, Rin you stay too." Sesshomaru said.

Rin knew better then to argue right now, and in case Kikyo came here, she'd be with Kagome to help. She went into InuYasha's house and he heard the kids asking her all sorts of things.

"Let's go." InuYasha said.

They were off, following the kitsune, he weaved in and out of trees and many villages. At nightfall they reached someplace that was on a big hill. Everyone remembered very well where they were, Naraku's castle.

((Another cliffie, am I getting you all annoyed yet?))
