Recap….

None of their bodies were ever found.

And now…..

Miroku drove stiffly, Sango in the passenger side of the small car. Inuyasha, with Kagome wedged between his lap and arms, and Shippo conquered the back seat. The ride was silent, eventually both Shippo and Kagome dropped off into a doze as they pulled up to the Takahashi mansion. The grounds looked deserted, all of the cars were gone from the driveway, the fountain out front was turned off, and the house had all of its lights off.

Inuyasha stuck his head out of the window as Miroku pulled up to the gates, they were locked with a padlock and the gate house was empty.

"Looks like Sessh and Rin already packed up" Miroku stated as the pair in the front seats changed with Inuyasha and Kagome. Kagome's head lolled onto her chest as Inuyasha tore away from the mansion and out onto the freeway, heading north.

"Where are we going?" Shippo asked as he roused himself from his nap. Inuyasha kept his eyes fixed ahead of them.

"To our old house Shippo" he said as sirens were heard behind them. Miroku glanced behind them, those were not police sirens, in fact they looked like government cars.

"Step on it Inuyasha!" Shippo yelled as he floored it, sending the speedometer to travel up past 130 mph, then 140 mph. The cars were left in the dust as he took an exit ramp, travelling north east along one of the coast side boulevards.

"I think we lost 'em" Miroku shouted over the roar of the engine as Inuyasha continued to speed. Kagome moaned in her sleep as the car took a sharp left onto a side road heading into the mountains, Shippo clung to Sango as Inuyasha took the dirt road at 140 mph, bouncing the trio in the back around like ping pong balls.

They continued along the road for over an hour… a very long, boring, bruising, hour. That's when Inuyasha stopped the car so quickly that Kagome's forehead smacked on the dash.

"What! Did we hit something?" Kagome yelled as she looked around. Inuyasha rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"No we didn't hit anything" he said calmly before starting the car and driving at a reasonable pace off onto another side road barely noticeable through the dense foliage of the trees. Kagome stared at her surroundings, she hoped Souta was okay. That's when Kagome felt a strange pull over come her; it was like she was being pulled and squished all at once… so weird. Then right before there eyes appeared a mansion, bigger than the last Takahashi mansion, this place was a downright castle! A feudal era styled castle that looked like it had all the modern conveniences including all of the Takahashi mansion's cars. Inuyasha pulled up into the drive way as Kagome noticed Rin bouncing her way down to meet them.

As soon as Inuyasha stopped the car Kagome was pulled out and crushed against her mother's chest.

"Oh! You're okay, you're okay!" She chanted smoothing her hair back from her forehead, Miroku and Inuyasha stood silently nearby as Mrs. Higurashi switched from Kagome to Sango and then to each of the boys. Telling them how brave they were and how fortunate they were to be alive. Kagome rolled her eyes and strolled up the long path to the castle. Rin and Sesshomaru were leaning against the stairs to the main entrance as a group of very important figures walked down the stairs, the silver haired man with frameless glasses was Inu no Taisho the owner and founder of the Canis corporation and the other two men were Mr. Priest with almost purple coloured hair and a manila folder under one arm and Mr. Taijia, who was slightly balding but had humour etched into the lines of his face. The three men passed Kagome, none of them even glancing her way as she shoved past Taisho into the entrance hall.

Inuyasha watched Kagome storm off, what was her problem? That's when he saw him, his father; he looked the same as he did a decade ago not even a day older. The group approached as he and Miroku stiffened, Miroku wasn't very fond of his father either especially since he had buggered off with another woman when his wife died in child birth.

Taisho smiled at Mrs. Higurashi before looking down at his boy, Inuyasha could feel the hairs on the back of his neck rise.

"Neither your mother, nor I am impressed, Inuyasha. I thought I told you to keep an eye on Higurashi, but you almost got her killed!" Taisho stopped, Inuyasha could feel his anger rising. "And another thing, how could you not keep tabs on Naraku. I thought I told you to be friends with him and keep track but you let him slip away so we don't know where Onigumo is!" Taisho stopped and glared at his youngest son. That did it,

"ME?" Inuyasha roared "Why am I supposed to do everything? It's your god damn problem not mine! And for one thing, If I was supposed to protect Kagome like I was doing I had to let Naraku go, other wise Naraku would've gotten suspicious after I came back and was all buddy, buddy with Kagome and him at the same time! Why don't you try it?" Inuyasha never had a chance to finish as Taisho back handed him so hard he hit the brick wall behind the cars.

"Oh my god! Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled, she had gotten bored and came back outside just in time to hear Inuyasha and his father's discussion before being backhanded into a bloody brick wall! Jumping down both flights of stairs she vaulted the hoods of two cars and crouched down next to the crumpled form that was Inuyasha.

"Hey, are you okay?" she asked leaning over him. There was a thin red line coming from the side of his mouth and it looked like he'd smacked his head hard enough for a small cut to open and begin to bleed. He didn't make a noise, but his head lolled towards her his face slack in unconsciousness. That pissed her off to no end.

"What the hell is your problem!" she roared, scaring the crap out of everyone around them. Kagome stood and marched stiffly over to Taisho, her finger pointing at him like a gun at the ready.

"You ass wipe! Just because your son doesn't follow your plans exactly you backhand him into a wall so hard he goes unconscious! I don't care if you are god! You have no right to do that to anyone!" She poked him in the chest to emphasise her point "IF you had been paying more attention towards what was going on around your youngest son, you would've figured out that he was doing his job! And not only was he doing his job he was also getting more information on Onigumo than I can bet any of you Middle age, balding, boring adults have collected in the last 5 years!" she stopped to catch her breath as Taisho raised one eyebrow, a slightly scared look reflecting in his eyes. Her glared turned downright frosty as Taisho actually flinched. "A blade or sword a man can deal with, a woman's scorn bewares for ye tread on thin ice with a torch to the seat of your pants" was Kagome's ending statement before she moved between the cars to where Inuyasha was regaining consciousness.

"What happened?" Inuyasha asked staring at his surroundings in a dazed manner as Kagome slung his one arm over her shoulders.

"You just got backhanded into brick wall by your loving father, can you stand or walk?" she asked Inuyasha's brow furrowed as he tried to remember how to walk. The progress was slow as they made their way up the stairs, Kagome shooting frosty glares at all of the adults, Sesshomaru greeted her at the door, deftly flipping Inuyasha's arm over his shoulder and helping Kagome carry him up to the fourth floor. This was the highest floor in the castle as Kagome stared out of a window, the view breath taking as it gave way from trees to ocean.

Sessh set Inuyasha down on a futon off in one corner of the large room he had for sleeping, there were a few items like an old battered sword on his wall and a few wall scrolls of dogs battling what looked like dragons and an entire old wardrobe set off into a corner. There was also a writing desk and small mahogany table with red silk cushions around it. She sat on one; Sessh had left so quietly she had missed his exit and decided to make sure Inuyasha was okay. As soon as his head had hit the pillow he was asleep, she wasn't sure this was such a good thing or not to let someone who just had their brains scrambled against a brick wall sleep. Oh well, the evens of today must've worn him out completely for the matter it was wearing her pretty thin too. Plus she hadn't killed the real Naraku yet another big problem, since that had obviously been a puppet of some kind of magic. Oh, this was giving her a head ache and she really didn't need one at his point in time.

The shoji screen slid open and Rin poked her head in, looking around the room her eyes locked on Kagome's, a smile crossing her face. Kagome got up and walked out of the room, Rin waited before she closed the door.

"You really impressed the pants off Taisho; no one has stood up like that to him since his second wife did for slapping Sesshy into a tree." Rin sounded awed before she cleared her throat. "Anyway, your room is right there" she pointed to a black shoji screen door across the hall from Inuyasha's. "Mine and fluffy's is down the hall on your second left, Shippo's is up the hall to the right, and Sango's room is next to yours and Miroku's room is next to Inuyasha's. oh, ya Souta and Kohaku have to stay in the human world for a little longer since the media will be swarming your families about your supposed death" Rin sighed dramatically and then smiled. "Plus all of the rooms have silencing charms around them thanks to the sutra's everywhere" Rin winked before she set off down the hall. Kagome blinked as her mind registered everything.

"Kagome?" she heard a weak voice ask as she walked back into Inuyasha's room. He looked around the room slowly as if piecing together where he was.

"Yeah, I'm here" her voice sounded tired to even her ears as Inuyasha cast her worried glance. "I'm fine… just tired" she smiled and sat on a cushion again. He sat on his futon watching her closely, why was he so worried? She should've been the one worrying! But if he was human he would still be unconscious and more damage would've been done to his skull from that impact. Also, how his grasp was like steel, his lightning fast reflexes and his ability to sneak up on people so quickly. Those were not normal human attributes. There was something up here, plus Rin was talking about Charms and Sesshomaru's tattoos, the veils that seemed to cover not only Inuyasha and Sesshomaru but also Shippo, Naraku, even Kouga had been wearing one!

"Inuyasha, what's going on" there that one sentence would either kill her or help her. Inuyasha looked confused.

"What do you mean?" he asked innocently, too innocently. Kagome sighed; this was going to be harder than she thought.

"Don't play innocent Inuyasha. For one thing that veil that you and the others wear what is it hiding? Why are you so inhumanly flexible, unbreakable and strong? Why am I stuck in a castle in a different world? What is all this stuff about the jewel that Naraku kept asking my clone the day it died? What is going on?" she said calmly as Inuyasha brushed his hair back from his face and sighed.

"You're too observant for your own good you know that" he smiled at her and stood. "The first question I can answer easily but it may scare you a little to know what I really am." His voice became sad as he pulled something off of the back of his neck, slowly the veil thinned and dispersed. In its wake was Inuyasha, Silver hair, his eyes a brilliant gold in the fading light and two triangular little dog ears on his head. Her mouth moved but no sound came out.

" I thought this might happen" his voice was dejected as his ears swivelled behind him. Kagome couldn't resist any longer, she jumped him. Inuyasha was shocked to say in the least as the girl tackled him to the floor and ran her fingers along the side of the triangular appendages. He felt himself melt, it was like someone giving you a really good back massage and soaking in a hot tub for a long time. Kagome was thoroughly amused as she ran her fingers over his ears and over the tips and the base, before long she realised the position she was in. She was sitting on top of him, on his bed… playing with his ears. Oh my. She got off as Inuyasha tried to collect his thoughts once again, she sat on the side of the futon waiting for the next answer to her questions.

" well, for your second question. This is the only place that I could bring you to be safe. You need to be safe because of the jewel. Now the jewel, as far as what I know from the ass wipe called my father supposedly is in you somehow. I don't know how or why. It just is okay" he held up his hands in a surrendering gesture as Kagome closed her mouth, eating her questions. " And lastly what's going on is that there is a group of dark magic using humans trying to get their hands on you for the jewel. Onigumo, Naraku's father is at the lead of it. Plus, this is a good thing too, you're being protected by the strongest demon lord in either worlds. So you have nothing to fear, but this world is millions times more dangerous than yours is Kagome. Here people don't just rape or mug you, they steal souls and puppet people, Kagome this world is much more dangerous just pay attention to Rin she will know anything you should need. Keeping up with this so far?" He stopped.

Kagome's mind was in a daze, ok so Inuyasha- was a demon, there was a jewel inside of her and the darkest magic users of millennia wanted it, she was being protected by a demon lord And she was in a world that was millions of times more dangerous than downtown Tokyo. Yeah she was keeping up.

" I think I'm going to go for a nap" she said as she felt her head spin. Inuyasha looked at her vacant expression.

" are you okay?" he asked as she toppled forward onto his lap, snores coming from her slightly open mouth. Inuyasha allowed a small smile to cross his lips as he lay her down next to him. Everything at that moment in time was okay, Kagome accepted him as a demon, she was okay with what was going on if not was a bit iffy like he was, and she was sleeping right next to him, alive and well. He lay for a long time listening to her breathing as he breathed in her flowery scent. He had been so scared when she had been in Naraku's hands like that.

"I'll never let them take you Kagome never" he whispered into her hair as she gave a contented sigh and rolled towards him muttering his name under her breath. He smiled and slowly drifted to sleep.

"Aww, they're so cute!" Rin said from her spot above Sesshomaru as everyone looked in on the sleeping couple, of course the adults were in bed except for Mrs. Higurashi who looked determined to get her daughter and Inuyasha together.

"Keep it down Rin, Inuyasha might hear us!" Shippo said as they all pulled the screen closed. "Well, I'm off to bed" he said as everyone dispersed to their respective rooms. No one ever saw the grin plastered to Inuyasha's face.
