I do not own InuYasha if I did I would have a very nice car and house

Chapter 1: Freedom

It seemed like another day in Feudal Japan, the sky was cloudless, the sun hung in the air shine brightly with all its glory, and all the animals in InuYasha forest were each doing their own thing, but as we all know peace does not last long especially when you add a certain half demon into the picture. A loud cry of frustration rang out through the forest scaring all of the animals from their current duties in order to find shelter from the coming battle that was to come.

The proud half demon sat stubbornly on the Goshinboku tree clearly ignoring the girl that was busy screaming herself hoarse at him, he decided that while he was up on his favorite tree that he might as well do a little self reflection and thinking before giving into the girls demanding voice and getting sat till his back broke, at first he tried to think of things which made him happy such as eating ramen, fighting demons, and putting the annoying little fox demon in his place from time to time, yes life was good, in fact this was possibly as good as it good get for him, because now he had friends, he was accepted somewhere, and he had a kick ass sword which his brother wanted and just a little earlier today he had broken Kouga's nose which was intensely satisfying but also the reason for the pain he was bound to receive when he possibly decided to get down off the tree. He let his gaze wander to the girl at the bottom of the tree that was still yelling at him to come down and talk to her, and his thoughts instantly took a different direction, at first all he could think of was how much Kagome could remind him of Kikyo one moment and then the next be a completely different person but then again right now Kikyo didn't remind him of who she used to be, he had long since come to realize that the woman he wanted was Kagome but there were too many things in the way too many obstacles for them to over come, one being the resurrected priestess, and another being time, Kagome came from the future a future that he couldn't even begin to understand, and even he realized that she couldn't stay here in the past because she just wouldn't fit in, especially if she was to be with him. Kagome's voice brought him out of his morose thoughts as he answered her with "huh"; the girl just sighed and said "I asked if you were okay InuYasha". InuYasha just stared at her blankly trying to figure out why she had stopped yelling.

"InuYasha?"

"yeah"

"why did you punch Kouga?"

sighs "Kagome, knock knock"

"what?"

sighs again "I said knock knock"

looks suspiciously at InuYasha "okay, who's there?"

"fuck off"

glares at InuYasha "SIT"

"gah" falls down from his branch.

As InuYasha fell down the Goshinboku tree hitting almost every branch as he same down his body was turned so that his back was now facing the ground and the on the last branch the subduing necklace got caught and held the half demon in the air for a couple of seconds before snapping and sending the him down to the ground.

Nobody knew what had just happened InuYasha lay down on the ground in shock and Kagome thought that her command had done its job when InuYasha suddenly jumped up to his feet and first his hands flew up to his neck to confirm his suspicions and slowly but surely a grin started to form it first started as a quirk of the lips the grew into a full blown grin just screaming superiority, surprising the girl from the future the half demon did a back flip then another and another and another before yelling out at the top of lungs "FREEDOM" then turning on Kagome his face still adorning the grin he said "say it, come on Kagome". Kagome took a few steps back from the crazed half demon before acknowledging his request "SIT" nothing happened which seemed to further amuse InuYasha which enraged her so she said "SIT" this time with a little more force which still did nothing, but it seems that all this was little too much for InuYasha as he collapsed to the ground laughing hard enough to scare even Sesshomaru.

Meanwhile

Miroku, Sango, and Shippou were hurrying to Kagome and InuYasha; they had been sitting peacefully in Kaede's hut when they heard InuYasha yell out freedom and then that was followed by hysterical laughter a few moments later which just made them worried, but none of them were expecting the site that greeted them because the saw InuYasha laying on the ground clutching his stomach and laughing hysterically and Kagome seemed to be glued to the spot that she was at because she didn't even notice them coming and not to mention but she seemed a little pale, Shippou cautiously walked up to Kagome and tapped her foot but she didn't even notice him, getting a little bolder the fox demon jumped up to her shoulder and tried fervently to get her attention but failed, Kagome only responded when InuYasha got up and smiled at everyone which made Miroku and Sango gasp while Shippou shivered in fear because anything that made InuYasha this happy must be bad for Shippou's well being. Miroku being the man and also pushed forward by Sango questioned InuYasha. "What pray tell InuYasha has made you so joyous" The half demon just smirked at Miroku and pointed to his neck, the monk looked at the half demon that he called friend and sized him up to see what he could be talking, it took a few minutes but when he caught on he visibly paled knowing that no good could come from this, quickly turning to Kagome who nodded finally confirming what he thought, he gulped saying "so InuYasha you know that I've always been on YOUR side right every time Kagome sat you, I mean some of those were for terrible reasons consider......" but was cut off by an aggravated Sango who wanted some answers it was then that Kagome found her voice saying "the subduing necklace broke". Sango froze and Shippou fainted.
