Chapter 15

Family Reunion and Naraku

The dark tinted windows rolled down and revealed the guest inside the limousine, obviously someone Inuyasha knew, for his eyes grew wide with realization. I looked from Inuyasha to the guest and back to Inuyasha. Miroku and Sango looked just as confused as I was. I gently touched Inuyasha's shoulder and I heard him mumble.

" Sesshomaru. " I heard him mumble this and I was actually shocked. I didn't remember even seeing Sesshomaru the whole time I was back. Actually, I don't think I had ever met him, I mean I heard about him when I was younger, but I had never actually met him.

I looked at him than at Inuyasha and I could definitely tell that they were related. They had the same golden eyes and silver hair, but Sesshomaru had purplish stripes on his cheeks and a blue crescent moon on his forehead. He was stunning, definitely, but he wasn't smiling, nor did he look happy at all. His eyes were cold and his face was emotionless. I mean his eyes said more that what his face did.

" Inuyasha, how come you seem so shocked at seeing your brother? " I asked, curiosity getting the better of me. Sesshomaru steeped out of the car and I realized that he was taller than Inuyasha, the last time I had heard of him he was seventeen, so now he'd be twenty-seven, seeing how it's ten years later.

" I'm shocked because about a year after you moved, Sesshomaru got in a fight with my mom. He couldn't stand her because she was human and he's a full dog demon. He's not exactly happy with father as well because he was in love with a human. After the fight, because he was about eighteen and old enough to be on his own, he moved out. Only he didn't tell anyone so it was more like running away. We haven't seen him in ten years. " Inuyasha explained. " what have you been doing this whole time Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru faced Inuyasha and smirked, the first facial expression he had shown since he arrived.

" I've been working, unlike you. " he replied, his voice calm and yet without a tone.

" I can see that whatever you were doing, it made you successful, " Inuyasha said with boredom.

" I'm a lawyer, been one since I was eighteen, " Sesshomaru said sternly. He than realized that Sango, Miroku, and I were still standing there. " who are they? " Inuyasha smiled.

" That's Miroku, his girlfriend and my friend, Sango, and this is my girlfriend and also best friend from childhood, Kagome, " Inuyasha explained. Sesshomaru raised a brow.

" Kagome as in the girl you insisted on making me drive you to the park to see everyday? " he asked, with some interest in his voice. Inuyasha nodded.

" I see, interesting, well, I'll be stopping by the house later on to see father, but than I'm gone like I was years ago, " Sesshomaru stated.

" Why are you leaving when you've just arrived? " I asked. He entered the car once more, but kept the window down and looked at me.

" Simply because I have work to attend to and this was a sort of detour, a " Family Reunion" you might say, " he explained than rolled up his window and drove off. I sighed.

" Your brother is too serious and works too much, " I commented. Everyone nodded in agreement. I looked at the time and told everyone that we had to hurry or we'd be late, so we started walking again. I laced my fingers through Inuyasha's and Sango laced hers through Miroku's. We were all content, well except for me that is. Naraku was on my mind and what we were going to do to stop him. Inuyasha must have sensed my anxiety because he looked over at me.

" Miroku, Sango, go on ahead, I need to talk to Kagome, " Inuyasha said. The two looked at him with confusion but listened and went on ahead. Inuyasha looked at me again once Miroku and Sango were out of sight.

" Kagome, what's wrong? Is it Naraku? " he asked with concern. I nodded slowly. We hadn't told Miroku or Sango because we didn't want them caught up in it.

" I just don't know what we are going to do or what he is going to do to us to get the jewel," I replied while fingering the jewel that I decided to wear at all times. Inuyasha put his arm around my shoulder.

" It doesn't matter, I will protect you and we will defeat him if it's a fight he wants, " Inuyasha reassured. I smiled, it did make me feel somewhat better.

We hurried along so that we weren't later for class. It wasn't long before people found out about me and Inuyasha. We were only sitting down five minutes before Kikyo came over to us.

" So you chose that bitch over me? She can't give you what I can, so why did you chose her!" she screeched. Inuyasha glared at her.

" You better watch how you talk to her, I didn't let my friends do that to you and me when we were going out. The only reason why I went out is that you looked like her, but looks can be deceiving, for you sure as hell don't act like her, you're more of a bitch, " Inuyasha spat at her. She was taken back a bit, she actually stepped back as though she had been slapped. She regain her posture and than glared at Inuyasha.

" You're going to regret you words and your choice, I can promise you that, " she threatened. Inuyasha smirked.

" That's what you said at the mall and you still haven't done anything, " he commented.

" Today, will be the day that you get what's coming to you, " she threatened once more before stomping off with her posse. I sighed.

" She's a pain, " I commented. Inuyasha laughed and so did Miroku and Sango, who had witnessed the conversation.

It surprised me how everyone knew about me and Inuyasha when we had told no one and we knew that Miroku and Sango hadn't said anything. I decided that it wasn't that important and left my thoughts at that. The rest of the day went pretty normal, except for Kikyo glaring at Inuyasha and me through out the day. We didn't care though.

When we left the school building, Miroku and Sango invited Inuyasha and I to the mall, but of course we couldn't because we had to deal with Naraku, where ever he may be. I shook my head.

" Uh, sorry you guys, we can't we uh…have…to study, " I replied quickly, making it up as I went. They seemed to buy the excuse and bid us farewell before walking off. I sighed.

" I wish we could have told them the truth, " I commented. Inuyasha nodded.

" Yes, but we don't want to get them involved with the possibility that they might be in harm's way, " he explained. I nodded in agreement. " so where is it that Naraku wanted us to meet him?" I paused and searched my memory.

" Actually, he said to meet him in front of the school, " I replied slowly. Inuyasha grabbed my hand and squeezed it reassuringly as we walked towards the front of the school, just as the last kids were leaving.

" I won't let anything happen to you, I promise, " Inuyasha whispered in my ear. I nodded and felt a bit better, but not much. I held Inuyasha's hand in one of my hands and held my other hand over the jewel that laid on my chest on a necklace.

We stood in front of the school as the seconds ticked on and seemed like minutes. The suspense of where Naraku was and what he was going to do made time drag on and me, anxious. My heart was pounding so hard I thought it would burst through my chest. Inuyasha was still holding my hand and he gentle squeezed it again, to reassure me once more. I forgot that he could sense everything I felt.

" Kagome, I'm here for you, don't worry, I'm not gonna let anything happen, not for as long as I'm still standing beside you, " he reassured once more. I nodded slowly.

" I know but I can't help but be afraid and anxious all at once, " I replied.

We continued to wait, I was actually starting to believe that he wasn't going to appear, but than I again I didn't know what he looked like or acted like. He could be one of those people with a late appearance. Though, from the phone, he sounded very dangerous. I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do once he arrived. All I knew was that I wasn't going to give him the jewel and that I somehow have to purify it. That was still a problem and a mystery on how to do it.

I felt a presence to my right so I turned to look. There was nothing. Inuyasha looked at me with a questioning look. I continued to look in that direction. I know there was something there but it was gone now.

" What is it, Kagome? " he asked after a while when I didn't stop looking to the right.

" I felt a presence in that direction, I think it might be him…" I replied my voice trailing off. Inuyasha shook his head.

" I don't think so, I'm not picking up a scent of any sort, even thought I don't know what his scent it, but there is no different scent in the air, " he explained. I shrugged. Than it hit me, we might end up in a fight, and we were unarmed. We had no weapons and it was almost certain that Naraku would. That thought scared me.

" Inuyasha, we're unprepared for this, I mean we are totally unarmed, " I commented. He smiled.

" I'm a half demon remember? I have claws and other techniques, " he explained. I had forgotten about that but it didn't put me at ease.

" Is that going to be enough? What if he is a demon as well? " I asked, suddenly aware of how little I knew of Naraku and the danger that could be in store for us. Inuyasha pulled me to him in a secure embrace. He started to whisper in my ear.

" Kagome, I will do everything to protect you, how many times do I have to say that? We'll get out alive and fine, we'll find a way to purify the jewel, and we'll find away to get rid of Naraku, I love you and I'm not about to let you go. " He kissed me on the cheek.

" I love you too, " I whispered back.

" Heheheheh……" Inuyasha and I let go of each other and looked around quickly to find the source of the laughter.

" Heheheheh, well, well, well, what do we have here? I see you came girl, but you brought a half breed with you? I thought I told you not to tell anyone about our conversation? " A voice said in a sarcastic tone. I continued to scan the area from where I was standing, I couldn't find him. Inuyasha was starting to get pissed. He growled.

" Come on out! " he yelled. I stayed close to Inuyasha not wanting to be separated. A figure came out of the shadows. He was wearing a baboon pelt over himself so that he was hidden. I could only see his eyes through the eyes of the baboon mask. Inuyasha smirked.

" Hiding behind that ridiculous outfit? " he accused sarcastically. Naraku ignored him and started to walk towards me. Inuyasha stepped in front of me and in Naraku's way. Naraku showed some signs of annoyance.

" Move half breed, " he commanded. Inuyasha didn't move an inch. He stood his ground firmly.

" No, " he said sternly and than growled. Naraku glared at him.

" This can go smoothly if you two cooperate, now give me the jewel, " he commanded in a calm, yet stern, tone.

I felt the jewel on the necklace on my neck and wondered why Naraku wanted it so badly and what power it possessed. I held the jewel while it was still on the necklace.

" Why do you want it? " I asked. He glared at me.

" None of your business, now give me the jewel, " he demanded, raising his voice more. It was my turn to glare at him.

" No, " I said sternly. There was no way I was going to give it to him. He growled at my defiance.

" Than I will take it from your lifeless body." He glared before pulling out a sword. A demonic aura was rising around him, along with a type of miasma. I felt my pulse race as I knew what was going to come next : a bloody battle. I knew it would be bloody because battles that involve strong power, are almost never clean. Inuyasha turned to me.

" Kagome, stay down and away from him, he's a demon and from the looks of his aura, is very powerful, " he commanded. I nodded and started to run off somewhere safe, but before I did that I turned to see what was going to happen. Probably not the best idea.

" You're not going anywhere until you give me that jewel! " Naraku yelled at me before raising his sword. Dark purple energy was swirling around the blade.

" Now die! " He thrust his sword downwards and a purple blade of energy flew towards me. Time seemed to slow down as I heard Inuyasha scream.

" Kagome, run and get out of the way! "
