Hello All! Yes, yes this will be the last kid Inuyasha chapter. After this You'll get to see what I've got in store for Kagome! Of course there was supposed to be one more chapter after this one that was extremely important(it answered a lot of questions like Why doesn't Inuyasha want to 'endanger' another girl? And Does Inuyasha ever get the sword?(ok c'mon we all know the sword is tetsusaiga)! And not so important ones like What happens to Ryoko?) Even though I'm skipping I'll post it eventually when the real stuff starts! Well anyway here's the other chapter.

Chapter 7: A New Member part 2

Recap:

"You didn't get anything did you?" Ryoko thought about it. Should I tell him? No the timing is wrong. It'll be his present. "Nope. But don't fret, I'm sure I'll get something next time."

"Well if your ok with it then I guess I'm ready to go." said Inuyasha as he took off her mask.

Seshomaru stood above them on a rather large tree. "Inuyasha You never seem to surprise me. This little incident will make sure I become leader, and yet..... I wonder...."

Seshomaru jumped out the tree and landed on the ground 5 feet behind Ryoko and Inuyasha. "My, my, my what trouble have you gotten yourself into my dear little brother?"

Inuyasha and Ryoko turn around.

"Hey, who are you?" asked Ryoko.

"Seshomaru?! What are you doing here?" asked Inuyasha.

"THAT'S the welcome I get after helping you?" said Seshomaru.

"What are you talking about?!" shouted Ryoko.

Ignoring Ryoko but answering the question for Inuyasha,"Who do you think made the guards leave their posts?" Of coarse not all believed me when I gave them a vacation. I had to 'convince' a few.

"Your Inu-Taisho's demon son aren't you?" asked Ryoko.

Seshomaru glances at Ryoko with an angry/annoyed expression. Seshomaru turns to Inuyasha and answered the question,"Yes, and the crime you've just commited will guarantee me 'Leader' of The Shikon No Tama Clan."

"So, you're planning on ratting us out." said Ryoko, it was more of a statement.

"He wouldn't! Seshomaru I already told you you can be 'Leader'!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"Yes but as I'm sure father won't comply that easily." said Seshomaru.

As everyone soon became silent Seshomaru began to speak. "Nonetheless I'll stay quiet," For now. "as of now we must take leave of this place."

They ran and made it to Ryoko's hide-out.

"I assume your the same theif who took a handful of gold a couple months back." said Seshomaru it was more of a statement.

Ryoko just stared at him. "You will need to stay here as a precaution."

"Unstand this, I will do as I please human and as the future 'Leader' of The Shikon No

Tama you'd best show me respect." Seshomaru turned to Inuyasha. "I'll be staying close by, alert me if someone comes."

That night Ryoko seemed to be really tired. She slipped back on her mask and fell fast asleep. She seemed to be having an exciting dream because she was talking in her sleep.

"Mmmm, that... feels ...good." (AN: She is not having a perveted dream! Glad you understand. )

She started smiling. "Fo...llow... me." she started rolling.

She rolled past Inuyasha and out of the hide-out.(AN: By the way (BTW) the 'hide-out' is a cave) she rolled, and rolled til she started gaining speed and her mask fell off.

She rolled and stopped right in front of a pile of mud.

"Come...on. I'm...wai-ting." she said and turned head slightly wich made her her fall right into the mud.

The next morning.

Inuyasha woke up with the instinct of being watched. He didn't open his eyes but decided to sniff the air instead.

"Hm. So it seems you are smarter than you look."

Inuyasha sat up abruptly and exclaimed, "Seshoma-"

Seshomaru covered Inuyasha's mouth. "Shh. Be quiet someone's coming."

"So much for me alerting you." Inuyasha muffled in Seshomaru's hand, but since Seshomaru's a demon he understood it and removed his hand off of Inuyasha's mouth.

"We need to leave."

"But what about Ryoko." Inuyasha had seemed to notice she wasn't there. (AN: Wonder why? :P )

"No time lets go." said Seshomaru running off.

"Hey-ugh-wait up!" said Inuyasha running after him.

:

(AN:that little sign means same time different place.)

Meanwhile, Ryoko was still sleeping with her hair still in a pile of mud.

"Is she dead?" asked Manten. (AN: FYI, Hiten and Manten are in this fic as well as The Shikon No Tama Clan. Right now they're teenagers. Hiten : age 15, Manten : age 14; There are other Inuyasha series characters that are going to be starring in fic but let's not spoil the fun! Ok I'm going to shut up and tell the story now. )

"No," Idiot can't even tell if a human's dead or alive. "but she's near the spot where Lord Inu-Taisho's was robbed."

"So?"

"So she's a SUSPECT!"

"Oh. So how do we bring her in?"

"Duh, we carry her."

"I don't want to carry her! I'd rather eat her she looks scrumptious."

Hiten hits Manten over the head.

"Hey! Watch the hair!"

"No eating she's a SUSPECT."

"Yeah but I still don't want to carry her."

"Then wake her up and make her walk." Damn, do I got to spell everything out for him.

"Hmm, yeah. That's a great idea brother Hiten I should wake her up."

Ugh, yes! thought Hiten silently sulking.

Manten pulls his sword.

"Idiot! Don't use the sword! Use the sheath!"

Just then Ryoko moves to lay on her stomache but the mud on he face makes her jump up.

"What! What's going on?! Did they get us?!" Ryoko exclaimed.

"Rise 'n' shine princess" said Manten.

Ugh, stupid-idiot she's already awoke! "Yeah, sorry to wake ya, sleeping beauty." said Hiten.

"Guess what? Your a suspect since you were found nearby the robbery at Lord Inu-Taisho's secret treasure room." said Manten.

"Guess it ain't much of a secret." said Ryoko.

"Wha-"

"Yes now get up and walk human." interupted Hiten.

Ryoko wipes the mud off her face and looks up to see Hitaen and Manten. Well in her perspective 2 demons.

:

Seshomaru still ahead of Inuyasha calls back,"Inuyasha we need to keep moving."

Inuyasha jumps to another tree. "We are moving." he says. Then Inuyasha hears something: "Get your hands off me!"

"Ryoko. gasps Ryoko?!"

"Inuyasha wait!" said Seshomaru but Inuyasha was already on the ground. Hm.

"Let her go!"

Hiten and Manten turned around. "Well what do we have here?" said Hiten

"A half-breed runt, that's what we have." says Manten

"growls Let. Her. Go." says Inuyasha.

"No can do. She's a suspect." says Hiten

"And you are too." says Manten. "snickers Come with us."

They grab Inuyasha. "Let me go."

"Sorry." says Hiten.

"You were both found by Lord Taisho's secret chambers." said Manten.

"Not much of a secret now, is it?" said a new voice.

"Huh? Who goes?!" says Manten. He sees Seshomaru,"Who are you?"

"Eh- Seshomaru?!" exclaimes Hiten.

"That's LORD Seshomaru to you." says Seshomaru.

"Your not leader yet! I refuse to call you one until then!" says Manten.

"Oh? So you do know who I am, your smarter than you look." says Seshomaru and Manten
growls. "smiles evilly I'm sad you feel that way," he says appearing out of no where
in front of Manten with his left hand on his neck and his right poised for action,"Then
again maybe not, I've always felt that loyalty to should be based on fear rather than
respect." his eyes turned red-

"Stop!"

Everyone froze. The voice was recognizable it sounded so familiar. Everyone turned to
see Inu-Taisho.

"Everyone here shall escort themselves to my mansion."

Next thing I knew we (everyone) we all in Inu-Taisho's Royal quarters. (AN: Ya know
that place where servant would go 'before' the king and ask him for something. That
place where its a gigantic corridor leading to a big chair for the king. But think
cabin wise.)

Inu-Taisho was sitting in his chair staring down at the three before him. Ryoko was
sitting on her knees trying to contemplate a story and look innocent, while Inuyasha
and Seshomaru were standing up on both sides of her. (Inuyasha on the left Seshomaru
on the right)

"My men tell me there was a robbery at my chambers, as I'm sure you know, and someone
caught a glimpse of a girl with pink hair." said Inu-Taisho.

Danmmit! Its my fault I took of Ryoko's mask. Inuyasha tought mentally hitting himself.

"Well, ahaha I don't see what the problem is as you can see my hair is-"

"Silence!" said Manten far back of the quarters.

"Brown." she murmered.

"How do you explain your scent being there?" said Hiten.

Inu-Taisho tired of listening directed his attention on Seshomaru. "This is quite out of character for you, Seshomaru."

Seshomaru said nothing.

Inu-Taisho turned his attention to Inuyasha. Maybe he'll give some answers. "And you
Inuyasha-"

"Feh. Say whatever it is you gotta say old man 'cause I don't follow your damn rules." said Inuyasha.

"How dae you speak to Lord Inu-Taisho that way?!" said Manten

"You will-" started Hiten.

"Settle down! And YES Inuyasha you don't follow my rules." He looked at Inuyasha and
couldn't help himself. "Heh, in all honesty that's one of the many qualities I admire about you."

Inuyasha sat down (indian style) not affected by the compliment.

Seshomaru, affected by the compliment, tried to play it cool. What qualities? Why does
father constantly praise HIM no matter what the situation?!

"Still, Inuyasha, in the future, DO try to be a bit more SELECTABLE when you choose
your friends." said Inu-Taisho.

Inuyasha said nothing.

Directing his attention to Ryoko Inu-Taisho said,"Girl, I'm not here to play with you
so I'll get to the point. If you have the sword, it be best if you handed it over now."

"Ryoko said that there was nothing in the room. Someone must of tooken it before us
because she ain't got nothin'." said Inuyasha.

"But your scent never went into the room, how do you know there was nothing-" started
Inu-Taisho.

"Because I trust her." interrupted Inuyasha.

That was a mistake. Those words hurt Inu-Taisho more than anything. How could this
have happened? How could this girl have Inuyasha's trust? What I've tried so hard to
get and have failed time and time again she got in less than a year. What does it take
to EARN that trust?! It's humiliating. Having to sneak around...

Flasback:

"Lord Inu-Taisho where are you going?"

"Out!" Inu-Taisho yelled. I have to make sure he's ok at least.

End Flashback.

keeping an eye on my son.

Flashback:

A couple trees away back by the bushes a demon smiles,"So, even after all that's
happened you still managed to find SOME happiness. I am proud of you, my soon to
be owner of tetsaiga Shikon No Tama prince...." the demon leaves as fast as he appeared
with no one knowing of his presence.

End flashback.

"Fine. Since you have nothing, you mean nothing. Take her away." said Inu-Taisho.

"Yes, sir!" said Hiten.

"Isn't this great brother Hiten? We can a hair potion for mother." said Manten.

"Yeah." replied Hiten.

It took all of Inuyasha's being, not to say anything. Just like my mother. Just like
mother he's taken Ryoko away! Everything I had he took from me! What does he want from me?!

Inuyasha showed no sign of remorse but he didn't have to, Inu-Taisho couuld see it in
his eyes.

"Wait! Inuyasha I never asked, what would you have me do in this situation?" asked
Inu-Taisho.

Inuyasha couldn't believe it. He's asking me to decide! There is a god!! No. mom said
not to be like him, and knowing him... there's a catch.
"It's not up to me. What YOU
decide is what happens."

Fine. I gave him a chance to save his 'friend'. "So be it. Procee-"

"Wait."

Everyone turns and stares at Seshomaru.

"Seshomaru?" said Inu-Taisho amazed.

"If what she took is valuable, then let's keep her, make use of her, so to speak, until she confesses. Keep an eye on her." said Seshomaru.

"How so?" asked Inu-Taisho.

"Uh- hm." Didn't Inuyasha say something about a mother... "How about we make her his
care-taker."

At the same time Inuyasha was saying,"I'll...I'll take care of her!"

Inu-Taisho looked at both sons as they stared at each other.

Seshomaru broke the silence. "Think about it, she'll hate it. She's a thief after all she likes adventure. In the end she'll have no choice but to give you the 'sword'."

"Hm, you have a good point. Is that alright with you, Inuyasha?" asked Inu-Taisho.

Inuyasha didn't say nothing what with his mouth agape he couldn't.

"Of course you know you'll both have to live here in the mansion, to keep an eye on
her." Inu-Taisho finished.

Inuyasha was all but happy,"What?! N-mmmhhh!"

Ryoko clasped her hand on Inuyasha's mouth. "Yes! We know and accept these
conditions!" she said leaning towards Inuyasha's ears. "ANYTHING'S better than getting
killed!" she whispered.

She let go of Inuyasha's mouth and said,"Right, INUYASHA?!"

"Feh," he said and turned his head away from the awaiting audience (Inu-Taisho and
Seshomaru),"Yeah, fine. Whatever." said Inuyasha.

"Yay!" exclaimed Ryoko.

Seshomaru, not intending on the out come of the whole situation (Inuyasha staying in the mansion) was mad but kept it inside.

Inu-Taisho... well, he was glad he could finally be around his son, and maybe one day
he would earn Inuyasha's trust. Knowing hat was possible, he smiled.

Inuyasha didn't know why but he felt the happiest he had ever felt before.

Yeah, yeah that was the end I hope you liked it! I want to give a special thanks
