Hey everyone! Iiiiiit's the 20th chapter! Aren't you all excited? I thought so!

Hmm, apparently FFN is screwing up to the foreheads of Ents and nothing can get in or out. I've been trying to access for days and it hasn't been working! Then it worked! Yay!

Gah! Hard… single… word.. titles… die!

Gah again! Kouga's such a had character to write! Why Kouga, why can't you be easier?

Sorry for the slightly cliff-hanger ending there… I wanted to make sure you guys were kept on your toes. Somebody's gotta do it!

And we got to 300 reviews, before the 20th chap! Thankies everyone!

Shout outs:

Nariko: Oh, come on, stop flattering. I'm not –the- best IY fanfic author ever… maybe one of though… And you're raising my muse's ego now ^^. Hurrah for 2003! So far it's looking to be a great year. Yeah, and those one-word titles are killer…

Saiera: I know, isn't Rin adorable? I wanna trade places with her… dammit, if Sesshoumaru can stand her he can stand me!

Imoen: Oh, I'm not feeling rushed at all. It's the trying to keep up a good schedule while taking school five and half-times a day along with driver's ed and work and all my little extra-curricular activities that I don't know why I got into them. THAT'S rushed. (but really, I'm fine)

Ditto: What's wrong with Sesshoumaru and a laptop? Personally I think he'd look attractive as a business man… (but that's just me)

Roganu-chan: Wow, that was a blur. Yeah, Kikyou's there and she's important or else she'd be hanging from her toenails above a vat of boiling cat piss… anyway, see after the chappir for doujinshi details, kk?

Chapter 20:

Repeat

"War?" Kagome repeated, nervousness raising her voice an octave. "As in fighting? Demons?" She couldn't believe her ears. Kaede hadn't just said war, had she?

The Ghost nodded sadly. "Yes my child, I'm afraid so. It appears that history is repeating itself all over again with the circumstances of four-hundred years ago when the first war was led against Naraku." She sighed, shaking her head. "It's a shame, really."

Myouga nodded from her shoulder, casting a glance over the group before him, 'hmm'ing to himself. "Kouga." He said suddenly and the wolf demon looked up from where he had been glaring at Inu-Yasha over Kagome's head. He blinked as the tiny flea jumped over to the wolf's knee and stared up at him from there. "Kouga of the wolves, how old are you?

Kouga's confused look vanished as he growled. "I don't think that's any of your business." He said, crossing his arms. "But I'm definitely younger than you, old man."

Myouga did not look amused as he stroked his whiskers. "But old enough to remember Naraku, right?"

Again Kouga growled. "I was just a kid, but yeah, I was alive when Naraku kicked the bucket." He eyed Myouga suspiciously, with some confusion. "Why?"

"Hmm…" Myouga thought to himself quietly while Kouga waited with little patience. Just as the wolf demon was about to grab the tiny flea and strangle him until he said something, Myouga nodded. "Kouga, leave please."

"Eh?" Kouga's features lit up in confusion. "What's that old man?"

Myouga twitched his whiskers at the disrespect but nodded. "Kouga, I'm afraid that this does not deal with you. You may leave please, so I may speak to the rest of them."

The wolf demon blinked, then glanced at Inu-Yasha and then Kagome. Then his eyes hardened and he looked back over at the flea on his knee and growled. "Like hell it's not my business! If Kagome's involved then so am I!"

"Eh, Kouga-kun…" Kagome started then paused, not quite sure what to say. She was a bit flattered by the wolf's determination but she didn't want a fight to break out and she knew that Inu-Yasha was holding back in the Ghost's house by the way his ears were twitching. Myouga shook his head at Kouga's tenacity.

"Kouga, Myouga-ji-san is right." Kaede said, bringing their attention to her. "This does not concern you so would you please leave for now. I assure you that you will be able to see Kagome soon."

Kouga's nose twitched nervously as he thought about this, glancing from Kagome to Myouga to Kaede and back at Kagome. He looked uncertain then sighed and nodded, the firm look in his eyes again. He stood up and grinned challengingly at Inu-Yasha. "Fine then, I'll go if that's what the Ghost wants, don't want any wars, now do we? Just make sure the like puppy keeps his hands to himself, eh?" he bowed down, took Kagome's hand and kissed it and left in a flash faster than Inu-Yasha could jump up and strangle him.

As the dust from Kouga had cleared Myouga coughed and positioned himself on a small pillow, crossing his arms in his usual pose. "Now, down to business."

"What's this about, Kaede-sama?" Sango asked curiously, stroking a calm and ever silent Kirrara. Kaede looked at the six of them and nodded. "Exactly like before." She said, seemingly lost in her old world.

"Eh?" everyone looked at her, trying to figure out what she was talking about.

"Baba, what the hell is all this?" Inu-Yasha snapped irritably, still shooting glare in the direction where Kouga had vanished. Kaede looked pointedly at Inu-Yasha with a glare that made him regret his decision to speak.

"Inu-Yasha, what do you remember of your parents?" She asked, catching the half-angel off guard. He blinked at her, then looked as if he was thinking. Then he frowned and glared back at her. "Nothing at all, that's what. Now what the hell do my dead folks have to do with anything?" He leaned against the wall, snorting grumpily and closing his eyes.

Kagome watched him, partially angry at him, partially amused by his behaviour and partially sad for him. He remembered his parents, she knew that. And she remembered the tiny Inu-Yasha from her 'memories' and how young he had been when they had died. Her eyes softened as she thought about it. No wonder he was so touchy about the subject, since he had obviously cared for his parents a lot.

Inu-Yasha, feeling his task's eyes on him, opened one eye to look at her questioning. "What the hell's your problem?" he said. Kagome frowned. "You know, if we weren't in Kaede-sama's house I'd 'sit' you right now!"

"Oh, go ahead, we don't mind." Miroku said and Shippo nodded while Sango gave them both disapproving looks. Kaede chuckled and shook her head.

"No dear, it's alright. I suppose that the question was a bit to rash, but it's for the circumstances unfortunately." She turned her attention back at Inu-Yasha, who looked both angry with and scared of Kagome at the same time. "Inu-Yasha, do you recall anything about your parents or their friends?"

Inu-Yasha snorted, but glanced at an increasingly annoyed Kagome and decided to give it a try. "Eh… well… there was Kinu, I remember him…" his ears twitched back and forth as he thought and Kagome held back a giggle. "Then there was Miryoku and Shinju… there was that weird old farmer who would also visit every once in a whi– what the hell does this have to do with anything?" he growled, his patience snapping.

Kaede was smiling patiently. "Everything. Think about your parent's friends, carefully."

Inu-Yasha raised an eyebrow. "Well Kinu was as annoying as his brat," he mused, ignoring Shippo's angry squeak, "and Shinju was nice, she also brought food for me… don't know what the hell she saw in stupid bouzo my parents were friends with though…" his eyes widened. "Shit!"

"What, what is it Inu-Yasha?" Kagome asked worriedly. Inu-Yasha looked like he had seen a ghost and he glanced around at everyone in the room before looking back at Kaede, who seemed amused by all of this. He blinked a few times then leaned back against the wall. "Holy mother fucking shit."

"Don't swear." Kagome chided, flicking one of his ears and earning an annoyed growl from her guardian. Inu-Yasha looked back at Kaede, an indifferent look back on his face. "Well baba, so? It's coincidence, that's all."

"What's a coincidence?" Kagome asked. Miroku looked over at the Ghost. "Kaede-sama, would you mind filling us in?"

Kaede nodded. "Actually, I'd prefer if Inu-Yasha explained." Everyone looked expectantly at Inu-Yasha, who looked more confused then them. "What?" he sputtered. "What the hell do I know? So what if everybody looks like everybody, what does that have to do with it?"

"He's not doing a very good job at explaining." Shippo said and the others nodded as the tiny angel hid from Inu-Yasha's wrath. Kaede sighed. "Fine then, I'll explain." Everyone looked over at the Ghost, who seemed to know what she was talking about more than anyone else.

"Over 400 years ago the evil demon Naraku first appeared, searching for the chance to destroy the keys and plunge the three existences into total chaos. Demons, mortals and angels alike fought against him but he had his own army and was far too strong. Using the Shikon no Tama, which he had created from himself and the souls of a Lord, a Ghost and a Guardian he was able to oppose any in his way."

"Except my dad!" Shippo said proudly and Inu-Yasha would have hit him had the fox not hidden behind his task. Miroku did Inu-Yasha a favour and hit Shippo on the head for him.

"Exactly." Myouga nodded, picking up the story from there. "You all remember the first time we met, on the train with Inu-Yasha-sama. I informed you all on your past lives."

Kagome nodded, remembering when they had first met Myouga and he had first let it slip that she was Kikyou's Reborn. Sango was the reincarnation of one of the group that had killed Naraku, while Miroku was the descendent of the monk. Inu-Yasha's father, Shippo's father and Kirrara's mother too, if she remembered right. So everyone except for her… "So everybody's the same as 400 years ago?" she pieced together. There was a bit of silence as everyone realized this and Myouga nodded.

"Exactly. Inu-Yasha-sama and his father looked remarkably similar and Shippo is the near image of his father when he was young. Miroku is the descendent of the monk Miryoku, and quite a resemblance too I might add, and Sango is the striking image of the takijin Shinju, no doubt her reincarnation. Have you ever wondered where you got the idea for your Hiraikotsu when you're fighting demons?" he asked the girl.

Sango looked a little surprised and shook her head. "No actually. To tell the truth, Kirrara mentioned it once and I guess I just got used to it."

Myouga rubbed his whiskers and nodded again. "I should have thought, since Kirrara's mother was Shinju's closest friend." He closed his eyes and though for a moment, giving the others time to digest the information he had given them. "Not only that," He spoke up suddenly, "but Kagome-sama as well." Before she could interrupt he held up a hand. "Kagome-sama, while it is quite clear that you are the Reborn of the Guardian you are still close to the image of Kanake-sama. It shouldn't come as a surprise, since they were cousins." Kagome didn't know what to say to that.

 "Listen old man, what does this have to do with anything?" Inu-Yasha, who had managed to remain quiet throughout the entire conversation, finally spoke up. "So what if everybody's the reincarnation of everybody? Big deal, the whole gang's back together 400 years later! It's not like it's important…" he trailed off as Myouga gave him a meaningful look.

"Does it?" Kaede said calmly. "Don't you think, Inu-Yasha, that it's quite the coincidence that when Naraku returns to once again try his evil ways that the reincarnations and descendents of  his slayers should find each other again, out of all the chances?"

Inu-Yasha opened his mouth, paused, then closed it again, at loss for words. It was strangely true how it all worked out. He ended up being Kagome's guardian angel, out of some strange twist of fate, and Kirrara, whom he became friends with after he found out her mother had known his, ended up ironically being the guardian angel of Shinju's reincarnation. And Miroku got Shippo as an angel, so even though Miryoku and Kinu weren't that close the pervert had been somewhat of an older brother to the angel kit. Then Inu-Yasha and Kagome had managed to meet Sango and Kirrara, meeting Miroku and Shippo only moments after. As the half-angel careful turned this over in his mind, he was shocked he had never noticed it before.

Everyone had noticed the sudden change in Inu-Yasha's attitude and Kaede couldn't help but smile that finally, in 400 years, she had managed to shut the half-angel up. "You see?" she said simply. "Everything's connected."

"So, we're all related somehow to the group that first killed Naraku?" Sango clarified. "So it's like what it was 400 years ago?"

"Indeed my dear Sango." Myouga replied sagely. Suddenly Shippo gave a slight squeak and everyone looked at him.

"I – I just realized something Kaede-bachan!" Shippo said, more to the Ghost than anyone else. "If everything going's exactly as before, then from what my dad told me, Inu-Yasha and Kagome are gonna… are gonna… are gonna…" he stammered, eyes wide with fear from memories of his father's stories.

"What is it, Shippo-chan?" Kagome asked, concerned. She and Inu-Yasha were going to what? She blinked, suddenly remembering that Naraku had been the cause of Inu-Yasha's parents death.

Shippo whimpered, his eyes wide as he jumped up and hugged Kagome tight around the neck. "You're gonna… get married!"

There was silence as everyone looked at the young angel as Kagome peeled him off of her neck and looked at him in confusion. Kaede and Kirrara were smiling, Myouga was looking sorry for Shippo and Miroku and Sango had come down with some strange coughing fits. Kagome turned a fine shade of pink and Inu-Yasha's right ear began twitching with annoyance.

"Shippo…" he said in a dangerously calm voice. "Can I talk to you outside…. now."

Shippo blanched, wishing that maybe he should listen to something else his father had told him and  keep his mouth shut.

"Interesting…" Sesshoumaru, looking as calm as ever, took mental note of what Kikyou had just told him and took another calculating sip of his tea. The undead, former Guardian eyed him suspiciously as he stood up and moved silently over to his bureau. The demon Lord opened up his laptop and began to fiddle with it. After the cold air of the Fourth domain's castle remained silent for a moment or two, with exception to the steady clicking of Sesshoumaru's fingers over the computer keys, Kikyou began to get impatient. Finally, when she could stand the suspense no longer, she stood up.

"What are you doing?" she asked boldly. Sesshoumaru never looked up or faltered in his work as he replied calmly.

"It's called typing, it's a way of sending a message to someone else. It uses fibre optics and light and electronic signals to send word to whomever I choose." He said, still typing fluidly. Kikyou waited another moment before asking another question in her irritated manner.

"What are you typing?" she asked, trying to keep her anger in check.

Sesshoumaru continued to type, taking his time in answering the angel's questions. "A message." He replied. Kikyou waited before she began to get angry. "What's on the message?" she asked, her teeth clenching.

"Information." Sesshoumaru said, his attention still full on the screen before him.

Kikyou's temper snapped and she slammed her fists on the Fourth Lord's desk. "Dammit Sesshoumaru give me a straight answer! I don't feel like playing games here!" She glared daggers at the full grown demon before her as he finally turned his attention to her, one eyebrow slightly arched in annoyance.

"Jaken." He said, his voice carrying through the halls. After a moment a clattering noise was heard and the staff-toting toad demon stumbled into the room.

"Yes Se-Sesshoumaru-sama!" he squawked, gulping for breath then pausing when he saw the scene before him. Sesshoumaru held Kikyou's gaze for a moment before returning to his computer. "Take Kikyou-sama to transportation and be polite."

"Sesshoumaru-sama?" Jaken blinked and Kikyou raised an eyebrow, unable to keep the triumphant smirk from her face.

"You're letting me go? Why the change of heart?" she questioned, walking over to Jaken but pausing around eight feet from him, refusing to venture any closer. Sesshoumaru didn't give her a second glance.

"You gave me the information that I needed and your return to any of the planes will not be for long. You have told me that it was Naraku's magic that brought you back; when Naraku is dead his magic will vanish and you will resort back to dust. The very fact that the mortal girl who was your Reborn is still alive will only further your short fate."

Kikyou didn't seem fazed by his predictions. "You sound quite sure of yourself that you're going to defeat Naraku." She said coldly.

Sesshoumaru looked at her again, his golden eyes flashing with battle light. "Kikyou, you seem to forget who I am. This Sesshoumaru is the Fourth Lord, near highest to the top, in a bloodline of many powerful demon Lords. This war that Naraku is trying to begin will end just as quickly." He turned back to his computer and closed it, finished with what he would do. "Now leave quickly. Jaken."

"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama." Jaken bowed and prodded Kikyou with his staff, no more wanting to touch her than she him. "Come on you, let's get you out of here."

Kikyou administered a death glare to the toad demon but allowed herself to be led through the many maze-like corridors of the Fourth castle. Sesshoumaru sat in his chair for a moment, staring at his closed laptop thoughtfully, before standing up and moving leisurely over to the window where his two swords rested. He lightly ran a clawed finger over his older one, the Tenseiga. Once he had hated the existence of his inheritance but now he had grown to accept it's presence. His other sword, the demonic blade Toukijin, could almost taste the blood of battle and was gleaming in the firelight of Hell hungrily. Sesshoumaru's brows furrowed when he saw this; he was getting sick of all these wars.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, is the lady gone?" the Lord turned around to see Rin peeking through the doorway, looking around for Kikyou. Seeing no one but the demon she stepped in and smiled brightly. "I heard something about the teleport room. Am I going home soon, Sesshoumaru-sama?" She looked up at him expectantly.

Sesshoumaru gave the slightest hint of a smile and turned around to face the window again. "No Rin, it's much safer for you to stay here in the castle with Jaken right now."

Rin wrinkled her nose. "I don't like Jaken, he's mean, smelly and ugly. I'd rather be with Sesshoumaru-sama."

Sesshoumaru didn't answer before he picked his two swords and began to leave the room. Rin quickly followed after him, looking confused.

"Rin, stay here." Sesshoumaru ordered and Rin froze in position obediently. "This Sesshoumaru has much to deal with. Make sure to get any messages someone may send me, alright?"

Rin nodded. "Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama!" She stood there obediently, watching the demon Lord walk down the stairs and soon vanish. The little girl stood there for a while before getting bored and running over to Sesshoumaru's bureau, where she pulled out some paper and crayons. "I'll draw another picture for Sesshoumaru-sama!" she decided, carefully choosing through the colours before she picked the one she wanted.

"Inu-Yasha, that's enough!" Kagome said after she realized that Inu-Yasha and Shippo's 'discussion' outside involved a lot of Shippo screaming and running away from Inu-Yasha, who was spouting curses. Kagome stood in the doorway, watching and trying to get her guardian to stop. "Inu-Yasha, leave him alone!" she said more loudly but the half-angel didn't seem to let up on his trying to kill the little fox. Kagome sighed. "Fine, be that way!" she shouted and calmly walked towards the two of them.

"Kagome-chan, don't!" Sango said, trying to stop her but Kagome just winked. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." She said.

"Kagome-sama, allow me." Miroku said, coming up behind Sango, who quickly jumped out of the doorway. Miroku smiled at the flustered girl and walked up to Kagome, putting a hand on her shoulder. "We'll both do it at the count of three."

"Well I don't think Shippo deserves it…" Kagome said, while the angel in question let out a squeal when Inu-Yasha nearly caught him.

"No, no, it's perfectly fine." Miroku smiled, waving a hand. "That way Shippo won't run off or something. He's my guardian, trust me."

"Empty words for a pervert." Sango said calmly, Hiraikotsu again making acquaintance with Miroku's skull. Miroku quickly hid his hand back into his sleeve and waved weakly at Sango, who grumbled in annoyance and moved to the other side of Kagome, giving the monk an evil glare.

Kagome held back a giggle. "Alright. Ready Miroku-sama?" Miroku nodded. "Then one… two… three… sit!"

"Heel!"

WHAM! Both angels fell flat on their faces as the rosaries took effect. Inu-Yasha immediately lifted his head and glared bloody murder at his task. "Damn you Kagome! The hell was that for?"

Kagome smiled sweetly. "Now, now Inu-Yasha, calm down. I think Shippo's suffered enough, don't you?"

Inu-Yasha glared over to where Shippo was also having trouble standing up again before the little kit's arms gave out and he flopped back to the ground in defeat. The half-angel grunted. "So?" he said, getting the feeling back in his legs and sitting up.

"Kyaa, Kagome! Miroku and Inu-Yasha are being mean!" Shippo cried as Kagome went over to him and picked him up. Kagome smiled and patted the fox-angel's head soothingly. "It's alright, Shippo-chan. Sango-chan already took care of Miroku-sama and I already sat Inu-Yasha." She said, handing Shippo over to Miroku, who had a second bump on his head for trying to take advantage of Sango's distraction.

"Has everything been settled yet?" Kaede asked from the doorframe, her one eye focusing on Inu-Yasha before glancing over the rest of the group. "If so I'd wish to speak with you a little bit more."

"What about, Kaede-sama?" Kagome asked curiously as she entered the building, followed by everyone else and finished with a sulking Inu-Yasha. After everyone had returned to their seats Kaede nodded and was about to sit down and resume their discussion.

"Miko-sama! Miko-sama!" A tiny voice suddenly interrupted anything they were about to say. Kaede looked over and walked to the doorframe and smiled. "Ah, Okuro, Momiji. What brings you here so urgently?"

The tiny boy that had mistaken Kagome for Kikyou when she first arrived to the village was standing outside, the yellow, long-eared, rabbit-like angel hanging on his shoulder. Okuro took a deep breath and stood up, holding out a palm pilot to Kaede. "Message to you, Miko-sama!"

"It's from the Fourth Lord!" the tiny rabbit Momiji added, with a bit of awe and fear in his voice. For the ninth key to receive a message from a fourth key, especially one from Hell, was definitely awe-inspiring.

Kaede immediately looked concerned. "From Sesshoumaru-sama?" she repeated, taking the palm pilot. Okuro stood on his tiptoes and used the electronic pen to get to the message for the old Ghost. She smiled. "Thank you Okuro." She turned around and nodded to the group inside the small shrine building. "Please be patient. I must read this in private." She requested before leaving. Myouga coughed and excused himself to follow the Ghost for the message. There was a bit of silence before Kagome decided to try and break it with a smile to the young child and his angel.

"So, Okuro-kun?" she said, getting the boy's attention. "Are you and Momiji Miko-sama's little messengers?"

Okuro smiled and nodded proudly. "My great, great nephew works for a big electronics company so Momiji and I have been helping out Miko-sama with her messages. She's old, so she's not very good with the new stuff."

"Okuro, show respect!" Momiji squeaked, lightly tapping the young boy on the head with an ear.

"Great, great nephew?" Sango repeated.

"Momiji, how long have you been here?" Shippo inquired. Momiji's large ears flopped clumsily forward as his eyes twinkled sadly. Okuro just sort of stared at his feet.

"Okuro-kun?" Kagome asked. Now that she thought about it, Okuro had mistaken her for Kikyou. Even if the boy was training as to be a Ghost, and thus the regular one-year afterlife life-span wouldn't effect him, he should have least aged a little bit (Shippo had explained to her that for Ghosts and Ghost-in-trainings the years stretched out by a percentage of 83%. That meant they aged one year for around every eight years) And his aura felt… off. She had always thought it was because he was the closest protégé to the Ghost but now…

"I…" Okuro said very quietly. "I died of unnatural causes."

"A demon?" Inu-Yasha growled, suddenly in the conversation. Though Okuro did nothing Momiji nodded. Inu-Yasha's ears went back. "Naraku, wasn't it?"

"Inu-Yasha, Naraku doesn't have to do with everything!" Kagome scolded her angel. Inu-Yasha eyed her, snorting. "Wanna bet?" he said. "We're getting far too many kids like him," he nodded towards Okuro, "especially these days."

"Like him…?" Sango repeated questioningly. Inu-Yasha refused to respond to that, even as Kagome remembered Rin, her near-death and her guardian angel's death and the effect it caused. What did Inu-Yasha mean, too many? How many angels were dying out there, leaving their tasks alone?

Inu-Yasha sniffed and looked closely at Momiji. "And you… you're not his angel, are you? You're…" the half-angel's eyes narrowed as he thought about it. "You're that little brat who used to always hang around the garden, aren't you?"

Momiji's tiny little rabbit nose twitched as his large ears flopped forward to cover his face. "I found Okuro after Naraku's first rebellion and… and I brought him here. I know I'm not an official guardian angel but Okuro's my friend!" he sniffed. "Okuro and I are going to become Ghosts together and we don't care what anybody says." Okuro nodded at this statement vigorously, having already made up his mind years before.

Before anyone else could say anything Kaede re-entered the building, holding the palm pilot in her hand and looking grim. "What is it Kaede-sama?" Miroku asked, wondering what Inu-Yasha's uncle had to say to the ninth Ghost. Kaede shook her head and sat down in her old seat. Myouga also looked deep in thought.

"Kaede-sama?" Kagome asked, a bit worried. Kaede sighed and looked up. "Inu-Yasha." She said, holding out the palm-pilot to the half-angel. "You're uncle has a message for you and I believe you should read it."

"Keh, what is it now?" Inu-Yasha frowned, reaching out and taking the electronic in his hand. Just as Inu-Yasha settled down again to begin reading the message Sesshoumaru had sent, Kagome suddenly felt the chill down her spine and sensed them.

Demons.

Quotable-quote of the week: "Monkeys make horrible pets, which is why most women are single these days." – My friend, Neko Li
