Whooo, another short chapter, but I figured I'd quickly update because I haven't in awhile. I'm focusing on this fic now that bad is done, so here is the short chapter that I hope you review on.

Yet with no luck seemingly on her side, this fight was soon to be no different.

--

Kawayou had ran toward a tree, jumping into the branches. His hair was turning darker, more like Kagome's own versus InuYasha's. He didn't look much like InuYasha now, if anything like him, and Kagome didn't mind that fact at all.

She stepped back, eyeing her enemy. Everything else but the three of them were lost to her now. Rubbing her hands an silver aura surrounded them, growing slightly. She had gained much more control of them lately, and she knew she was now a worthy fighter.

"Out of curiosity, how did Naraku managed to convince you to come after me- you know you're going to die now." She said harsher than usual, but the thought just angered her so much.

The demon grunted, muttered something about how Naraku was to cowardly to come himself, and Kagome didn't doubt that. He wouldn't come face to face with her now, he wouldn't dare…. She had been delivered into his hands once, deceived by his appearance, and would much rather have died than be compared to Kikyou again.

The demon lunged first, quick and swiftly it appeared behind her. Turning roughly on her heel, she released a wave of purifying energy, but the enemy moved to quick, behind her again, this time landing a blow to the back. She skidded, hitting a tree, about to make a comeback but the demon had retreated into the trees.

She searched for his aura, after a minute just now aware at how good he was at hiding it. He was somewhere in the trees. Kawayou's face appeared. "Mom!" He called, and Kagome's attention was thrown to the trees below him. The demon gave a powerful wack to the tree Kawayou was on, and it shuddered.

Kawayou slipped slightly grabbing onto a branch. Kagome's eyes widen, and she prepared a arrow that wouldn't hesitate in killing the demon, but there was another wack on the tree. Kawayou lost his grip, and fell to the ground, but before he even hit it the demon had him in his grasp.

She threw another wave, but it was easily evaded.

The demon looked at her now human son, who struggling was futile. "Aw how cute." He mocked. "You've gotten rusty over the centuries, come find me when you aren't."

With a harsh laugh the demon took off into the sky. With a weak cry, Kagome hit the ground unconscious.

She didn't awake suddenly; she took her slow time coming to the real world noticing simple things. The lights were dim- candlelight. She could hear a fire, and someone walking around the room. Something cold was on her forehead, and she had a thin sheet draped over her. It brought back memories, but she jolted up to quick to bother pondering one them.  Sango was next to her now, saying something….

Kagome didn't listen, she could hardly hear-her heart was pounding loudly in her ears. She walked out of the hut in a storm, feeling for InuYasha's aura. Just as always he was perched in one of the highest trees, but Kagome arrived to the base of the tree.

"InuYasha!" She shouted, but he didn't respond. She bit her lip, the word 'sit' about to roll off her tongue.

"InuYasha come down here!" The second time she called him it sounded more like a plea than a demand.

"Fei!" He said at first. "Sorry Kagome, I believe you are talking to no one."

She frowned, balling her fists. "Can't you just forget that for a minute!"

He leaned over to look at her, his eyes sharp but caring some deep sadness. "Couldn't you just forget the past for one moment when you were talking to him." He didn't name Kawayou, but Kagome knew.

"SIT!" She barked, InuYasha coming cascading to the ground a moment later. She marched up to the place he fell gritting her teeth. "You have no idea how much that hurt me InuYasha, and that wasn't even half of the hurt I felt."

InuYasha pried himself out of the hole he had created, clearly not pleased.

"If all I do is hurt you with my mere presence, then why are you talking to me!"

Kagome's voice faltered, and her eyes cast down. "Because InuYasha, he has him….he has our son."

-

That was one of the most painful things Kagome had ever said, be it she just had admitted the truth to herself. No matter how she despised it Kawayou was their child, and he was in the demons grasp now in his weakest form.

InuYasha stood closer to her, almost as if he wished to reach out, but didn't. "Our son."

Kagome licked her lips, and nodded. "Please, Naraku might have him, and he is human tonight." Her legs shook, and she would have fell onto her knees to beg, but InuYasha reacted first. He reached out grasping her in a quick hug.

"Then stop stalling, we have to find him."
