Captives Chapter 4: Coming Back and Back from the Dead

Princess Sango

One Week Later...

"Inuyasha?" Inuyasha looked over to the bed. "Yes Kagome?" "Is it nine months before I have a baby?" "Eight weeks left, be strong Kagome."

Eight Weeks and One Day...

Kagome held her baby. "Inuyasha, he needs a name!"

"It's hard though!"

"Fine how about Inu Jr.?" No answer came.

"No, how about Inuyasha Jr.?" suggested Souta a minute later.

"Okay! Inuyasha Jr. it is!" said Kagome excitedly.

Souta was still denying the whole thing though. "Souta, come on! Come see your new nephew!" yelled Kagome.

"I would like to," said Sesshoumaru.

"Oh, Sesshoumaru-san, sure."

"Don't you dare hurt him," snarled Inuyasha. Kagome held out Inuyasha Jr. to his half-uncle.

"It looks just like Inuyasha, only the eyes are mix. Full bred dog demon too, congrats." He handed Inuyasha Jr. back to Kagome. When he left, Souta came and looked at his nephew.

Six Years Later...

"Kagome! You're home! Souta too! Where have you guys been for six-nine years?" asked their mom. Then their mom noticed the difference of Kagome.

"Feudal ages mom. Feels good to be home," they both said in fusion.

"Mom, I have a surprise for you. It surprised me too, please don't get mad."

Kagome called in Inuyasha Jr. and a girl from outside. "Yes mother?" asked Inuyasha Jr.

"Mom, this is Inuyasha Jr. and Inuya."

"Those are your children?"

"Yea, Inuyasha Jr. is seven and Inuya is four. Kids, this is your grandma." They all said hi and said nothing more.

"Mom do you hate them?"

"No, I just had a flashback to when you and I had to face grandpa."

Kagome laughed, "They still have a father! I promise!"

"That's good to hear! Who's the father?"

"Inuyasha, you met him. A real sweetie, he is the new Lord of the West." Her mother smiled, happy to hear every detail.

"Sis, Inuya is crying!"

"Okay, hold on mom!" Kagome ran and took Inuya from her son.

"It's okay Inuya, no one's going to get you here," cooed Kagome.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Oh, Jaken is trying to get back at Inuyasha. See, when we had Inuyasha Jr., Inuyasha had the right of the West Domain. Jaken had served Sesshoumaru, all because of the West Domain, so now he wants to kill our children."

"That's why you came back?"

"Yes."

"Oh..." Mrs. Higurashi looked sad, "She didn't want to come back..."

"Mom, did you notice Kagome's new look?"

"Yes, what's with it?"

"Well, when I had them; I agreed to be a half demon."

"Wow..."

Kagome smiled and asked, "Is grandpa still alive?"

"No, he died to years after Souta left. He sends love." Kagome looked down at Inuya.

"I'm turning human tonight..." Kagome walked upstairs to her room, Inuyasha Jr. following.

"You may want to leave them alone. Inuyasha had to force Kagome to leave and I promised him that I would take care of them." Their mom nodded.

Kagome was upstairs on her bed, crying. "Mama, the war will end soon. Papa will come get us soon, we'll make due," Inuya answered naively in a childish voice from the floor. Kagome looked up at her daughter, silver hair, claws, dog ears, fangs; in short she was a feminine Inuyasha with mixed eye color. Inuya looked down at her blue kimono, "Mama, papa loves us, he doesn't want you to cry." Inuya jumped on the bed and crawled to her mom.

Kagome wiped her eyes and smiled weakly, "You're right but I'm worried. I am used to being close to your father now."

Inuya hugged Kagome, "It's alright mama, and you have Uncle Souta, Inuyasha Jr., grandma, and me."


Inuyasha walked to the bed that used to hold two. "It's so empty here. I hope the war ends soon." Inuyasha looked at the dresser and saw the picture of everyone before they split up. Sango had returned with her children yesterday and is staying here. She had offered to help and Inuyasha allowed her to.

A knock came to the door and Inuyasha gave them permission to enter. "Inuyasha, how long before the war starts?"

"In about four hours."

Sango stood at the door, "Shippo and Miroku are both gone, and Kaede died now. You, Kagome, and my kids are all I've got now. Inuyasha, if I die, please take care of my kids. Promise me!"

"I promise Sango." Sango smiled and walked over to him.

Then she sat down, "Thank-you, thank-you so much."

Inuyasha sat up and hugged her, "You're Kagome's friend. We'll always help you."

Sango cried, "Before Kathy left with her dad, she told me that Miroku w-wanted to s-see me! I wish t-that he could be alive."

"We can't change the past Sango. We just can't."


Kagome tossed and turned in her bed. "Kagome you must go to your old time! I will miss you always. Take our children and go!" A kiss ended the dream. Kagome bolted right up and didn't find the warmth of her hanyou husband. Kagome, realizing her surroundings cried.

"Come home to me soon Inuyasha. I miss you too much."


Inuyasha jumped out of bed and got ready for the battle. After he was ready, Sango was awoken. Her children were hidden safely as Sango and Inuyasha got outside and was ready to face Jaken. Jaken was there, but dead. Sesshoumaru walked out into the clearing, and looked at Inuyasha.

"I will not use violence in this matter. This is for Kagome's sake. Sango, Miroku is alive, though he lives until dusk. Find him, Inuyasha can help you." Sesshoumaru ran from the spot and disappeared.

"H-he's alive!" Inuyasha took a whiff of the air and picked up on Miroku's scent.

Inuyasha picked up Sango and headed towards the scent. "He's close by." Inuyasha kept heading towards the scent. "I'm a little uneasy about this..." he thought. It was now morning and Kagome had a hard time sleeping. Kagome lay on her bed and stared at the ceiling. Inuya had just woken up by the sun's rays and the bird's sweet song.

"Mama? Are you okay? You still miss papa, don't you?"

Kagome heard her daughter. "Yes, I still miss him. I'm used to having him by me now."

Inuya looked at her mother. "Papa, you told me that I and Inuyasha Jr. must take care of mama. We all miss you and love you. Come back soon before mama cracks." Inuya jumped onto the bed and hugged her mom.


Inuyasha found Miroku, but it had all been a trap. "Miroku are you okay?"

Miroku looked beat, "Inuyasha g-go it's a t-trap. Don't w-worry about me."

Miroku collapsed and Inuyasha picked him up. "I'm not going to let you die again."


Sesshoumaru watched from the forest. "Sesshoumaru-sama? Why must we do this?" questioned Rin. He remained quiet.


Kagome refused to get out of the room except to use the bathroom. Inuya brought the meals to her. Kagome's mom had known what she was feeling and went to talk to her. "Kagome?"

Her mom knocked on the door hesitantly. "Come in..."

Her mom opened the door to see Kagome on her side staring at the wall. "Kagome..."
