Chapter 11
In this chapter, Inuyara and Saroko will try to return to the Feudal Era (they have some unfinished business there, after all). Will they be able to get past their parents?? Read on to find out. Tonyf
The sun was beating down on Inuyara's face, shining brightly through the window. His mind was awakening, and he knew that it was time to get up. His body, though, was telling him otherwise. Saroko was still asleep in his arms, and he didn't want to wake her up (or leave the warmth that she provided). "Damn it." He thought to himself, trying to shield his eyes. Even with his eyes being closed, the sun was still bright enough to bother Inuyara's sensitive eyes. He debated whether he should try to get up and close the blinds, or if he should just stay put. Although his eyes felt as if they were burning out of his head, it was a no-brainer for Inuyara. He turned towards Saroko, hugging her closer. Her sleepy sigh of contentment was enough for Inuyara to know he had made the right decision. "I guess I can wait a little longer." He thought to himself, feeling like today was the day - the first day of his life that he would arise in a good mood.

Shippo was becoming impatient. He wanted to help Inuyara and Saroko destroy Sesshomarai, but that was impossible if they wouldn't wake up! "How long are they going to sleep? My god, they can't be THAT tired!" Shippo said out loud, to no one in particular. Inuyasha looked over at his Kitsune friend, sweatdropping. "Who the hell are you talking to, Shippo?" Inuyasha said, trying to figure out if his friend was losing it. "Oh, no one. Umm...... I'm gonna go try to wake Inuyara and Saroko up." The embarassed Kitsune said, scampering upstairs. When he opened the door, though, Shippo was completely unprepared for what he saw. Inuyara and Saroko were sleeping...together! They were sleeping on the same bed, and Inuyara was hugging Saroko tightly to himself! "What is going on here? Are they..... together?" Shippo thought to himself, his brain having trouble processing the thought. All of their lives, those two had denied having any feelings for each other. Now, they suddenly are together? It just didn't make sense to Shippo, who didn't hear their 'announcement' the previous day. "Hey! Wake up! What are you two doing?" Shippo yelled out, jumping up and down on the bed. "What the....." Inuyara said, his eyes opening slowly. "Wake up! Tell me what you guys are doing!" Shippo said, eagerly awaiting Inuyara's explanation. "We WERE sleeping, idiot!" Inuyara yelled, quickly stretching out his legs. Shippo went flying, eventually smacking into the wall. This was the first thing Saroko saw when she opened her eyes, and she smacked Inuyara in the back of the head. "What the hell did you do that for, Inuyara?" Saroko said, jumping off the bed to check on the dazed kitsune. "Good morning to you, too." Inuyara grumbled. So much for his good mood.
As she got herself ready to return to the Feudal Era, Saroko explained her new relationship with Inuyara to Shippo. The fox demon couldn't believe his ears, because he thought that no woman would ever have been able to tame Inuyara enough to date him. Meanwhile, Inuyara gathered his Tetsuiga and grumbled about how long women take to get ready. "We're going to the Feudal Era! Will the demons care how she looks? No! Why does she need to put make-up on?" Inuyara grumbled. "What are you grumbling about, Inuyara?" Saroko yelled through the door. "Uh, nothing!" He yelled back, amazed that she had heard him. After about 10 more minutes, Saroko finally came out of the bathroom. Inuyara had to admit that she looked beautiful, but he thought that she was beautiful WITHOUT all of the paint, too. "Ready to go, now?" He said with a grin. "Sure am." She smiled back, grabbing his arm as they walked downstairs with Shippo following close behind.
"What? You guys aren't going back into the Feudal Era without us!" Inuyasha yelled, angry that they were going to leave their parents out of the fun. "We have to, dad!" Inuyara yelled back. "Why? We can help you fight Sesshomeru's brat!" Inuyasha said with a sneer, upset that his own son would want to leave him out of the action. "Mom, you and dad both have to stay here because it's too dangerous. Saroko's parents need to stay here, too. You both know that Saroko and I are much stronger than either of you now, and the fighting needs to be left to us." Inuyara said matter- of-factly. Inuyasha detected more than a little arrogance in the statement as well, but it would be the pot calling the kettle black if he called his son out on it. "I understand, honey. Inuyasha and I will stay here, and we'll go tell Sango and Miroku the news in a little while. You guys both better be careful, though. I want some grandchildren at some point!" Kagome said, glaring at Inuyasha (to shut him up in case he decided to protest). "We'll be careful, mom." Inuyara said, trying (unsuccessfully) to stop the blush that was blazing across his face.
"Well, are you two ready to go?" Inuyara said, getting ready to jump down the well once again. "As ready as we're going to be." Saroko said with an uneasy sigh. "Ditto." Shippo said simply. "Sure you don't want to go, Myouga?" Inuyara said sarcastically, already knowing the answer. "No, you see, I have some, um, important things, and they, um, yeah." The flea muttered, realizing only after he said it how pathetic the rant had sounded. "I get it, Myouga." Inuyara said with a grin, loving how evil he could be sometimes. The flea quickly flew off, and Inuyara let Shippo jump through first with the jewel halve. "You next." Inuyara said, helping Saroko (and her giant backpack) get through the well. Inuyara jumped through last, knowing that there was a lot of evil waiting for them on the other side.
The trio didn't spot any demons when they first came out of the well, so they decided to take advantage of their good fortune and find a safe campsite. They figured that it might take awhile to finish all of their business, so they (Saroko) thought ahead and brought enough supplies to last awhile. After about a half hour, they found a small, empty cave that looked like the perfect spot. After they set up their supplies, Saroko had a question for her new boyfriend. "Inuyara, remember yesterday when you promised to tell me what really happened when you 'killed the fly' in your room? Well, I want the truth. NOW." Saroko said forcefully, but with a smile. Inuyara almost had trouble taking her seriously with how happy she looked, but he figured now was as good a time as any to tell her the truth.
That's all for #11. How will Saroko react when Inuyara tells her that Kiaku, one of his father's strongest enemies, is back and wants to kill them both? You have to read on to find out! Please review!!!!! Tonyf
