DiScLaImEr: I DO NOT own ANY part of Inuyasha! I love the show and this is simply a fanfiction!

Hi! I did it! Its here!

Before you get started, let me mention, that this chapter was difficult, so I hope everyone likes it.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 4

"Lord Sesshomaru...that aura has dissapeared..." Rin said innocently, sitting beside the full demon.

"Stupid child! Don't trouble the Lord with things he obviously knows!" Jaken yelled in his annoying little voice.

"Jaken, leave her alone," Sesshomaru warned, "Yes, Rin, it has."

'I know that scent. Fathers greatest enemy has come back to life. Inuyasha should be having fun,' Sesshomaru thought to himself plainly.

Rin looked up with a curious face, "My Lord, who did it belong to?"

For a moment, Rin believed he would ignore her, like he did sometimes, but he finally said, "A demon named Akakios. He's no doubt after Inuyasha."

"But why would he waist his time with a half-breed like Inuyasha?" Jaken questioned.

Sesshomaru looked to Rin, who seemed to also want to know, "Akakios despises any demon that is not pure. When Inuyasha was young, Akakios attempted to kill him, but father did't allow it, and put the demon and his two cruel daughters in an eternal rest for it."

'I see, he blames Inuyasha for his long sleep,' Jaken murmered in his head.

"He will surely kill Inuyasha, his friends also," Sesshomaru's voice was absolutly emotionless, just as it always was, as if he didn't have a single feeling in his body.

Rin looked a little sad about that, "But Lord Sesshomaru..."

"Yes, Rin?" Emotionless.

"They were kind to Rin..." The girl whispered.

'I don't see why some has-been demon should be able to take my brothers life, when I desire to kill him myself.'

"We will check things out tomorrow Rin. Sleep," Sessomaru ordered, and she did so immediatly, completely obidient.

-------------------------------------------------------

"Your just asking for Kagome to sit ye, Inuyasha..." Kaede warned quietly as she, Kagome, Shippo, Kirara, and Inuyasha sat by the stream.

Inuyasha was in one of his grouchy moods, and Kagome kept trying to remind herself of that, but when he was being so rude, it was really hard.

"Oh, like I'm afraid of her. She still hasn't gotten her strength back..."

Kagome heard that and turned from where she was washing her face at the water and gave him a very icy glare, "You leave me alone or I swear I'll do it!"

In fear of getting sat again, Inuyasha decided it would be best to forget being mad at Kagome for previously sitting him.

"Where do you think Sango and Miroku are?" Shippo asked, him and Kirara looking at his little fox-demon weapons.

"Those two have been going off at least once a day, looking all secretive...their up to something..." Inuyasha said suspiciously.

Kagome just smiled as she walked over and sat beside Kaede who was washing her clothes, and with a smile, stated, "I think its good for them."

Inuyasha said nothing at all. Maybe it would be good for them.

"Hey, Kagome, do you think we could head out tomorrow morning in search of Naraku?"

A surprised look came over everyones face, but Shippo was the one to ask, "Why wouldn't we go after Akakios? He hurt Kagome and we can't just let him do that."

"Oh, Shippo, thats sweet, but thats not a reason to go picking a fight," Kagome murmered, blushing slightly.

"Shippo's right, we can't let him get away with it."

"Have ye thought of the possibility of Akakios joining Naraku should ye not take care of him first? Should ye go off after Naraku, it seems Akakios will follow, and then that would leave ye fighting two enemies rather than one," The old woman offered and Inuyasha realized she had a point.

Kagome looked like she was thinking hard, then said outloud, "Before Myoga left to find out more about him, didn't he say he hated any demon that wasn't pure blood? Wouldn't Akaios try to kill Naraku then, rather than help him?"

'She might be right... who knows what will happen if Naraku and Akakios meet...' Thought Inuyasha with a quick look at Kagome who was staring back at him.

"Kagome, I think you should go back to your time until we get rid of Akaios..." He whispered to her while looking away.

"No way!" Yelled Kagome, "I'm staying here, and don't you even think about trying to trap me in my time like you've tried before! I WON'T leave you guys just so I'm safe! End of discussion!"

"I figured you'd say that, but if he's done it once, he might want to try it again!" Inuyasha yelled at her.

"Shippo, Kirara...come with me..." Kaede told the two, knowing this was going to be an arguement that no one else should see.

"Inuyasha, that doesn't matter! I want to be with you! I want to stay here and help all of you finish this! Your not going to take away from me some of the few days I might only have left with you!" Kagome looked to the ground, having finally said it outloud, "I..."

"And I don't want to lose you forever!"

Inuyasha left as fast as he could after yelling.

'Why can't we ever not yell at eachother? We're always arguing about the stupidest thing,' Kagome smiled despite wanting to cry, 'But I still love him. I just don't get it.'

"Kagome!" Sango called, sounding like she was in trouble, and Kagome got up as fast as she could, running the direction her friends voice had come from. It drained her energy quickly, but she still ran, until she got to a small clearing where all her friends stood facing a man, no, the demon Kagome had seen while being under his mind control.

"You bastard..." Inuyasha hissed, "You're him, the one that hurt Kagome..."

"Yes, I am.," He turned from Inuyasha and instead was looking at Kagome, "Your a strong priestess for one so young."

His hair was black and long, braided so it was out of his way, and his skin was a very pale white. Akakios wore no shirt, but black, long pants.

"Don't you dare look at her!" Inuyasha yelled and drew his sword, "Your going to pay for what you did!"

"You dare to speak to me like that, you half-breed?" Akakios let go of a booming yell that hurt Kagome's ears, "I'll take that woman, and I'll turn her into my slave, just for you, once your dead. The rest of your friends would make good slaves too. The first members of my army..."

This demon was toying with Inuyasha, and Kagome didn't like it at all, "Inuyasha might not be a full demon, but that doesn't mean he's worthless!"

Akakios gave her a silancing glare, then said to Inuyasha, "I was quite surprised to find out a half-demon like you would have any friends at all. A monk, a slayer, a priestess, and two puny demons? I've never heard of such a thing. I really don't understand why they would want to be in the company of you."

"Hey! Nobody can Insult Inuyasha but us!" Yelled the little Shippo, but once he was given a menacing look by Akakios, he hid behind Kagome.

"Shippo's right, Inuyasha is our friend, and we won't stand by while he is insulted!" Sango yelled and threw her weapon, which fell at Akakios feet.

"Nice try, Sango, the demon slayer, but you cannot defeat me."

Kagome was dreadfully wishing she had her arrows, so maybe she could help in some way, "What makes you think your so tough?"

Kagome glared at him as she said it, and with a chilling smile, Akakios told her, "I do believe your becoming annoying..."

"Koga!" Kagome yelled as she saw him running towards them.

Koga stopped right beside Kagome and yelled to Akakios, "So its you whose giving off the disgustion scent!"

"What do you know, a wolf-demon friends with a half-breed too..."

"Me, friends with that mut? Yeah right. Its Kagome here that I care about, and I can smell you on her. You'll regret hurting my Kagome!"

"I doubt it," Akakios replied distastefully.

Inuyasha didn't yell at Koga to leave, and for some reason, that really bothered Kagome. Worried her really, because that meant they might need his help.

"How were you able to try mind control on Kagome? How do you know all of us?" Miroku asked, sounding concerned as he stood in front of Sango.

"I find myself amused by all of you. Working together to take on demons when you all are so different. I can't understand it, but that doesn't matter. Inuyasha, we will meet again, and untill then, never let yourself forget that once I kill you, your woman, and your friends, will all be controled by me."

With an evil, terrible laugh that made a chill go down Kagome's back, Akakios dissapeared.

-----------------------------------------------------------

They had left their village that they called their home early in the morning, traveling all day until it got dark. Despite the recent troubles, everyone was in a decent mood. They made camp and built a fire to cook the food Inuyasha caught, and then laid down to sleep.

"Miroku, you should sleep, we've got a long day tomorrow," Sango whispered in his ear, looking up and seeing his eyes open from the place her head sat on his shoulder.

"You sleep Sango, I'm fine," He told her and she nodded, closing her eyes again.

Across from Sango and Miroku, Kagome laid, asleep, Inuyasha sitting beside her in his normal position, sitting with his arms and legs crossed, while Shippo slept on her pillow.

'Kagome was right about them all this time...' Inuyasha thought after he opened his eyes to see them, 'It won't be like that with Kagome and I. Miroku and Sango, their both humans, just like Kagome, but me, I'm a half-demon. It will always be different for them. They belong in this time, Kagome doesn't...'

Kagome's tired eyes opened as he was looking her over, and she said, "I sence a jewel shard."

"Huh?"

Were they wrong? Were there more shards than the ones Koga, Kohaku and Naraku had?

"How many Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

"I-I don't know. One I think," She said and she had already started to get up, grabbing her bows and arrows.

Sango leaped up, grabbing her weapon also, just like Miroku, and Kirara turned into her firecat form.

Inuyasha felt pride in his friends, in their strength. Someday, though, it wouldn't be like it was now, and they wouldn't be fighting demons anymore.

"Who could it be?" Shippo asked

They faced the direction the jewel was coming from, waiting, then Inuyasha let out a curse and yelled, "Sesshomaru!"

Sure enough, there he was with the cute little girl, Rin, and the ugly little toad demon, Jaken, but what made both Sango and Kagome gasp was the boy he held in his good arm, who looked to be sleeping. He wore the same slayer uniform Sango had on.

"Kohaku!" Sango cried, loosing her composure like she did every time she saw him. None of them blamed her for it, because they understood he was the one thing she fought for, one of the reasons she sought to kill Naraku.

"Here, I've no need for that," Sesshomaru declared as he threw the shard to Kagome, who held it tight as it became pure.

"Is- is it the-" Kagome stuttered in disbelief, but Sesshomaru cute her off.

"There one from his back? Yes."

"You!" Sango yelled with tears of hate in her eyes, and Miroku wrapped his arms around her, while Kagome couldn't figure out what to do.

"Control yourself, slayer, he's not dead," Sesshomaru's cold voice, or more of what he said in a cold voice made everyone look at him.

"Lord Sesshomaru, has done you a great favor by reviving him you ungreatful human!" Jaken yelled, and everyone understood. He had used tensaiga.

"Sesshomaru? You saved Kohaku?" Inuyasha bursted while having a very difficult time believing it.

"It was Rin's wish. The boy could have died and I would not have cared," Sesshomaru tossed the boy and Inuyasha caught him.

Kagome saw that Sango longed to go to her brother, but she stood facing Inuyasha's older brother and said with an unwaivering voice, "Thank you."

Sesshomaru said nothing more and walked away, disapearing into the forest.

"Kohaku!" Sango yelled as she took her brother from Inuyasha, holding him close to herself as she cried.

Kagome cried too, although she knew it wasn't right. Seeing her friend crying made her cry, but hers were quiet, where Sango's were sobs.

Shippo jumped into Kagome's arms and she hugged him, while leaning against Inuyasha for support, drained of her energy yet again.

Sango held her brother all night, while the others tried to sleep.

Kagome learned that sometimes, things would find a way to work themselves out.

Their spirits were lifted knowing they wouldn't have to kill Sango's little brother who had been for so long controled by Naraku.

Everyone fell to sleep but Inuyasha, who sat up against the tree when Myoga started bouncing on his knee and whispered quietly, "I've got bad news Master Inuyasha!"

"What?"

"Akakios has awoken his daughters! Each are nearly as strong as their father!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh my god, finally! I'm not sure about this chapter, but I do know it caused me a LOT of problems.

For all my hard work, I think I should be rewarded by some reviews! Please?

Thanks for reading!
