Chapter 19 Introducing Takashi

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I wanna thank all my reviewers (which isn't many, you all disappeared). But I know you guys are still reading (I hope that is).

NCchick4456 Tessa is going to be apart of this story for a little longer. No worries I won't let her get in the way of Inuyasha and Kagome. Everything will all work out. I promise.

"Thank you for saving my cousin." Kagome said thanking the man. "But could you please tell us, who you are?"

"My name is Takashi." The demon answered.

"It's nice to meet you." Kagome said taking his hand and shaking it. "What race of demon do you belong to?"

"I don't know." Takashi answered awkwardly. "I was abandoned as a child and raised by humans."

"Oh. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I don't even remember my birth parents. But the ones that raised me loved me as if I was their own and that's all I could ask for."

Kagome smiled. "Why don't you come back with us to our village? I'm sure our other friends would love to meet you."

"I don't know…." He was reluctant to go. He didn't want to impose on these people. I mean, he hardly knew them!

"Oh Please! Please come back with us!" Pleaded Tessa making her best puppy dog face, the one she only used when she wanted something really badly.

"He said he didn't want to. We should let him do what he wants. Besides how do we know we can trust him?" Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha! That was rude!" Chastised Kagome lightly slapping Inuyasha's arm.

"What? I was only speaking the truth!"

Kagome shook her head at the hopeless Hanyou. When would he learn? "Please Takashi, come back with us. We want to thank you properly for saving our friend and cousin."

"Well…Sure why not." Takashi reluctantly agreed. Well they seemed like nice enough people and they really wanted him to come along with them so why not? It wouldn't harm anything and he could spend some time with Tessa and get to know her better!

"Great! My friends are gonna love you!"

As they left for the village the sun was just beginning to rise above them. No one spoke the whole trip. No one needed to they just enjoyed the beautiful sites the rising sun brought them.

"Kagura, you disappoint me once again!" Naraku shouted at his incarnate. "I gave you the easy task of disposing of one weak hanyou and you failed! I expected more of you! You're lucky I still need you!"

Kagura's face remained blank as her master yelled at her. She showed no emotion, while on the inside she was seething. It wasn't her fault she failed! How was she to know that, that girl would be saved by such a strong demon? If he hadn't been there then surely she would have succeeded!

"Kagura! Are you listening to me!"

Kagura was jolted from her thoughts suddenly. With out her noticing he had somehow come to stand inches from her. "Yes master." She needed to be more careful! If she angered him to much, he would easily kill her! He held her heart in his hands, literally.

"I'm through with you! Go guard the castle with that Kohaku boy! And remember your heart still lies in my hands. Mess up again…." He trailed off and let the importance of his words sink in.

"As you wish." Kagura bowed and left. She was lucky he didn't do more than yell at her. If he wanted to…..Kagura shuddered at the thought. She was still among the living. That's all that mattered at the moment.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kagome was the first to enter the village followed by Inuyasha, then Tessa and lastly Takashi. They headed towards Kaede's hut, where they knew the rest of the group would be waiting for them.

"Kagome! I see Tessa is okay. What happened? And who is that standing behind you?" Sango was the first to ask.

"This is Takashi everyone. He saved Tessa from being killed by Kagura."

Takashi blushed with embarrassment. What she had said was true but anyone would have done it. He was only reacting on instinct.

"Come." Kaede said. "Let us go inside and listen to what happened as we eat breakfast."

They all crowed inside the hut. Kaede passed out a bowl to each person. Tessa told what happened up until the point where Takashi saved her and then Takashi continued from there.

"I wonder why Kagura wanted to hurt Tessa." Shippo wondered.

"Yeah. Tessa just got here and already he has tried to kill her." Stated Miroku.

"Who are you guys talking about?" Asked Takashi.

"Naraku. Have you heard of him?"

"No. Who is he?"

"He is a powerful demon after the Shikon no Tama." Answered Inuyasha.

"And we are trying to collect as many shards as we can and are trying to get the pieces of the shard that he stole from us! Then we are going to kill him." Kagome answered her fist clenched.

"Wow. I heard the Shikon no Tama was shattered in to millions of tiny pieces." Takashi said.

"Yeah that was my fault." Kagome said weakly.

"That was you!" He said incredulous.

Kagome nodded. "It was an accident. I was trying to kill the demon that stole it from me and….my plan backfired. The arrow I shot ended up not only killing the demon but shattering the jewel as well!"

Takashi just laughed. "Wow. I never thought the jewel could be broken so easily." He was starting to like being here with this odd group. They gave him a warm feeling. A feeling he hadn't felt in a long time. Even Inuyasha didn't seem as bad as he originally thought.

As the day wore on everyone began to trust Takashi more and more. They eventually told him the whole story of how they became friends and how Naraku had hurt each of them in some way. Takashi seemed most interested in the fact that Kagome and Tessa were from 500 years in the future. He didn't understand how they came to be here, or how an old well had such magical properties. He had wanted to see this special well and that's where he was now. He and Tessa had gone together.

Finally Inuyasha had gotten the alone time he had wanted with Kagome. He now sat with her in his arms in the branches a tree. His arms wrapped around her holding her close. He took a deep breath, breathing in her comforting scent. Inuyasha would be content to hold her like this for the rest of eternity. That's how she made him feel.

"Inuyasha," Kagome began tilting her head up to look at him. "I could just sit her forever in your arms. I just feel so safe when I'm near you."

"I agree."

Kagome smiled and turned in his arms so she was now facing him. "I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too." He said before kissing her.

"So this is the famous well." Stated Takashi once they got there.

"Yep! This is it Tashi-chan," Said Tessa. "Is it okay if I call you that? Tashi-chan?"

"Sure. I don't mind." Takashi couldn't help but smile. "Should we jump in?"

"I think we should wait and ask Kagome and Inuyasha before we do. They may want to come with us."

"Okay. Let's head back then now. We can ask them when we gat back."

"Okay." Tessa agreed.

Together they walked back to the village. Takashi asked Tessa questions about the future and Tessa did her best to explain in a way he would understand. It wasn't easy and left him more eager to try the well.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They were alone. Just the two of them. And Miroku was making the best of this rare opportunity. He had led Sango to a secluded area of the spring where they now sat together. (Fully clothed and not in the water) They sat on the waters edge, leaning on one another. Just enjoying the moment they had.

"Sango." Miroku spoke her name softly.

Sango lifted her head from his shoulder and looked in his eyes. "Yes?"

Miroku placed his hand under her chin and pulled her face toward his. He kissed her tenderly.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Kaede, why did everyone go off without me?" Asked Shippo. He sat with his back leaning on Kirira.

"Well, they just wanted some alone time with each other." The aged woman answered a smile playing on her face as if she was reliving an old memory. "I'm sure they'll be back soon any way. Look here comes Tessa and Takashi."

"Where are Kagome and Inuyasha, and Sango and Miroku?" Tessa asked when they reached Shippo and Kaede.

"They each went off somewhere to be alone for a while." Shippo answered unhappily.

"I'm sure they'll be back soon, little guy." Takashi said bending down to Shippo's height and gently patting him on the head. "Until then I'm sure we could do something to pass the time."

Shippo brightened at this. "Sure! Like what?"

"How about a good old game of hide and seek?" Takashi suggested knowing their was no way the child would refuse.

"Yeah! I'll hide first! You count to 20 and then come find me. Don't forget to cover you eyes!" Shippo ran off in search of a hiding place.

Tessa sat down beside Kaede as Takashi began to count. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5…..16, 17, 18, 19, 20! Ready or not here I come!"

Tessa laughed as Takashi ran off in search of the Kitsune. "Takashi seems so good with children!" She commented to Kaede.

"It seems so." Kaede smiled back.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A couple hours later Sango and Miroku returned to the village. Inuyasha and Kagome had yet to return. But no one seemed worried, after all they were together. That was certain.

Soon night began to fall and it was evident they wouldn't be coming back for a long time. When it began to get late they decided to head in for the night. Since Kagome wasn't available Shippo decided to sleep with Kaede.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The next morning Kagome awoke to the sun shinning in her eyes. She rolled on her side and sighed contentedly. She pulled Inuyasha's Fire Rat robe closer around her body. Inuyasha still lay asleep in the tree beside her. Kagome smiled. He looked so innocent asleep. (A/N Inuyasha, Innocent? No way!)

To wake him up Kagome leaned towards him and gently kissed him on the lips. A slow and saucy smile played on his lips before he opened his eyes.

"Good morning." Kagome said.

"'Morning." He greeted pulling her on top of him and kissing her again.

The kiss ended all too soon for Inuyasha. He wanted more. (he he) "Inuyasha we need to get back to the others." Kagome said. "They may be worried about us."

"Just a few more minutes? Please?" Inuyasha pleaded. He just wasn't ready to go back yet. "One more kiss?"

Kagome pretended to think really hard. She placed a finger on her chin and looked up at the sky. "Hmmmmmmm? Okay fine one more kiss. But then we have to get dressed and back to the others. Okay?"

"Okay." He reluctantly agreed. This time he kissed her longer and hard. He was reluctant to let her go but he knew he had to eventually. But not right at this second…

When the kiss ended Kagome slipped from his Fire Rat robe and into her own clothes. Inuyasha didn't make and move to get dressed. He just watched her. She looked so beautiful. He loved her so much.

Once Kagome was dressed she turned back to him. "Are you gonna get dressed or sit there and stare?" She threw his clothes at him.

"I'm down now." He smiled.

Kagome waited for him to be done before climbing down from the tree. Inuyasha helped her land safely on the ground. Before they continued on to the village they kissed one last time. (A/N is this too mushy for you guys? I don't think it is. Do you?)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When they reached the village no one questioned them about being gone all night. They acted like it was nothing. Even Shippo acted like nothing happened, almost like it was natural. Together they all had a nice breakfast like one big happy family. It was almost like they weren't searching for the Shikon no Tama or Fighting to kill Naraku. In the one short moment they were enjoying the happiness of being surrounded by friends. Laughing and chatting, just being normal.
