Chapter 10
Okay, this is a big chapter (the story is in double digits, now! Yay!). Kiaku has returned, and he's in Inuyara's room for some reason.... Maybe you'll find out why in this chapter. You must read to find out, faithful readers! I write it, you read it! I did my part, now you do yours.... Tonyf
( For those of you who didn't read 'Inuyasha's True Feelings', I probably should explain who Kiaku is. Kiaku is the son of Kikyo and Naraku, and he has evil running through his veins. In his first meeting with Inuyasha, he almost killed him, but Kagome stepped in and saved the day. For a more in- depth explanation about Kiaku and how he came into being, read 'Inuyasha's True Feelings'!!!! )
"Kiaku? I..I've heard about you." Inuyara stuttered, fear evident in his voice (not a common occurence, let me tell you). "Yes, I'm sure you have. I'm sure I was pretty hard for your father to forget. I did almost kill him, after all." Kiaku said, an evil grin present on his face. "What the hell do you want with me?" Inuyara sneered, color starting to return to his face. "Simple. I want you and your entire family dead." Kiaku said coldly, nothing but hatred in his voice. "Why? From what I heard, you had the chance to kill my parents. You returned to your mother, instead." Inuyara asked. "Fool. Your parents tricked me! My mother wasn't waiting for me. I went home to nothing but emptyness." Kiaku said, a tinge a sadness accompanying the evil that time. "So why do you want to kill all of us?" Inuyara asked, readying himself for a fight. "I want revenge. I won't be fooled again. I spent the last 20 years doing nothing but training, and I am much stronger than I was the last time I fought your father." Kiaku said, glaring coldly at Inuyara. "Let's go, then!" Inuyara yelled, lunging at the half-demon. Much to Inuyara's surprise, though, Kiaku simply phased out of the way. Inuyara crashed into his closet hard, busting the door through the wall. "I don't want to fight you yet, fool. I'm going to enjoy killing every one of you. I'll do it nice and slow, on my own time. This was just a warning." Kiaku said with a sneer, and with that he disappeared into thin air. "Inuyara? What's going on?" Saroko said, bursting through his door. "Uh, I was trying to kill a fly." Inuyara lied, still laying upside-down in a huge hole that used to be his closet. "You're a bad liar, honey." Saroko said sweetly, closing the door behind her as she walked in.
"Do you think I should go check on him? That was a pretty loud boom!" Inuyasha said worriedly, looking up the stairs. "No, Saroko will take care of it. Just leave those two alone." Kagome said, putting her hand on her husband's shoulder. "Whatever. But if there's any fighting to be done, I'll handle it! It's been awhile since i've kicked some ass..." Inuyasha muttered, causing Kagome to chuckle. "If there's any fighting to be done, you need to let Inuyara and Saroko handle it. I don't want to see my widdle Inuyasha get hurt!" She said, rubbing his head. Inuyasha just sat there and grumbled to himself, a bright red blush evident on his face.
"Now, what really happened?" Saroko asked as she helped Inuyara stand up. "I'll tell you later. It's not that important." Inuyara said, hoping she wouldn't pry any further. Saroko stared at him, and she finally decided to let it drop. "Okay, whatever. You better tell me the truth later, though." She said with a glare. "Fine." Inuyara grumbled. "You really shouldn't wreck your room like that, Inuyara." Saroko said with a grin. "It's not like I TRIED to do that!" He yelled, only beginning to calm down when he realized she was joking. They both actually began to laugh, and Saroko couldn't believe it. Inuyara, usually as serious as his father, didn't laugh often. "So, what should we do now?" Saroko said, plopping down next to Inuyara on his bed. "Well, we need to get back to the Feudal Era. We can't just let Sesshomarai keep half of the jewel!" Inuyara replied. "No, of course not! Do you think we should bring our parents, though?" Saroko asked. "No way! They'd just get in our way, and they'd end up getting hurt." Inuyara replied. "They used to be pretty strong, you know." Saroko said. "USED TO BE. That's the point. They're too old. We're both a lot stronger than all four of them combined." Inuyara replied. "Too old? None of our parents are even forty yet!" Saroko protested. "They're way past their prime, sweetie." Inuyara responded. Saroko's countenance changed quickly after that. "Did you just call me 'sweetie'?" She asked, beaming. "Oh, uh, yeah, I guess." He mumbled, embarassed that he had let that slip out. "I guess this 'relationship' thing is growing on you faster than you thought it would." Saroko said, grinning like mad. "Yeah, I guess." He muttered, blushing so hard that Saroko thought he was choking or something. "You're so cute." She said, reaching over and giving him a hug. "What were we fighting about, again?" Inuyara asked. "I don't even remember." Saroko whispered, just happy that he was holding her.
"They've been up there for awhile, Kagome. Do you think we should go check on them?" Sango asked her friend. "Why would we do that?" Kagome asked. "They might be doing THINGS up there." Sango said quietly, so Miroku and Inuyasha wouldn't hear. "OH. You think?" Kagome said. "Yeah, they are teenagers, after all." Sango replied. "Let's go then!" Kagome said, pulling Sango upstairs. As they ran, Sango began to have second thoughts. "You know, they are both adults. Even if they wanted to do THINGS, what could we do about it?" Sango asked. "STOP THEM!" Kagome said emphatically, just as they reached Inuyara's door. Sango pressed her ear up to the closed door, but she couldn't hear anything. "They must not be doing anything. I know that when Miroku and I do things, me make a LOT of noise...." Sango said, but Kagome clamped her hand over her mouth before she could go any further. "Okay, no more details necessary. Maybe they're just quiet?" Kagome said, not able to handle the suspense any longer. She turned the doorknob, surprised that it was unlocked. Kagome and Sango opened the door as slowly as possible, eternally grateful that it didn't creak. When it was finally open, they stood in the doorway, staring at the bed. "Oh, how cute!" Sango whispered into Kagome's ear. "C'mon, let's go." Kagome said with a smile, closing the door and pushing her friend down the hall. Inuyara and Saroko were asleep on the bed (fully clothed), just holding each other tightly. "They do need a good rest, I suppose." Kagome said to her friend as they walked down the stairs to rejoin their husbands.
Okay, that's it for chapter 10. Next chapter, Inuyara and Saroko will (try to) return to the Feudal Era. What will happen? I don't know. Don't ask me, I just write the stuff...... Anyways, please review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tonyf
