AN: Okay, I know I haven't updated for a while. Well, I am now so, yeah. I got some indirect suggestions for this chapter so I'm going to use them. This one's also going to have a thanksgiving theme in it because it's well, almost thanksgiving. Thank you so much for reviewing everybody! I looked at my stats and I'm really surprised! I'm so close to 50, and if I get 60 I'm officially going to make a sequel. I even have an idea for it already, besides, this story is almost over, I think. Also, I'm going to be working on another fan fic with Inu papa in it. The only thing is he's going to get drunk in it and I can't wait to be writing that! Please review if you want!

Lesson 11: Trust the enemy

Before Sesshomaru could even take action against Kagura, she had already swept him away. He had no idea how he was going to get out of this one, or what was going to happen. Kagura always helped him before, was she going to do that for him now?

"Just for you to know, I'm not planning on killing you. I'm going to get you out of here, besides, Naraku's after you. He can't do to much because he's getting younger and younger by the minute. You are too, but not as fast." Kagura said simply. She knew exactly what she was doing.

"Why not?" Sesshomaru asked curiously.

"Because you had a way more dramatic change to start with."

"How would I die?"

"You'd get so young that you wouldn't even exist. It's my goal to make sure that doesn't happen to you. I'm still trying to find out a way for only Naraku to die by this, I know that the time limit is going to be up soon, I can tell. Don't worry, I'm going to hide you by Mount Hakurei, it's too pure there for Naraku to get there, but we should be okay." Kagura said hopeful. Were they going to get out of that?

"So you're blaming me because you let your guard down on the kid?" Suluko said frustrated at Inutaisho, who was blaming him.

"Yes I'm blaming you because of his disappearance! He isn't here right now to back you up so I can do whatever I want to you now!" Inutaisho yelled so loud that his loud deep voice was really starting to scare Rin, Toki and Shippo. Fiera was just shaking her head in worry and frustration (yes, I really like that word). She knew that whenever something really bad happened, he would blame others for it. He never liked to admit that he was the blame for anything.

"Why don't we actually try looking for him? That might get us somewhere!" Inuyasha suggested in a half-yelling half-scolding voice. He was getting very stressed with everything around him.

"I'll get to that after I kill the mud blood!" Inutaisho yelled back at Inuyasha who was just disappointed that no one was actually doing anything to try and help Sesshomaru. Sango and Jakotsu were whispering to one another about the situation. However, Jakotsu changed the subject quite frequently.

"Do you think they're going to start looking for Sesshomaru any time soon, or will they just keep arguing for no apparent reason?" Sango asked concerned and annoyed at the same time.

"Who knows, those macho men never really like to admit that they did something stupid. By the way, I know you have something for that monk. You two would be perfect together, I think you should do it. Actually, I heard that you and MY man, Inutaisho have something for each other as well. I don't think that you would be as good together. Who do you think I'd be good with?" Jakotsu was rambling on about guys, but actually, Sango understood him. He also seemed to understand women much more than men did, especially Miroku and Inuyasha. He could be a very good friend to Sango, Kagome, and Ayame. They all had guy trouble and Jakotsu would probably be the only one who was a guy that would understand. Technically, he also had serious guy trouble.

"Why do you always change the conversation to men? Do you think that maybe we should just go after Sesshomaru and Kagura on our own?" Sango was concerned once again. That was her main problem, she made herself angry and concerned. Mind you, usually Miroku triggered it.

"BOTH OF YOU, STOP IT! I WANT MY ONLY SON BACK SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO AND IF YOU DON'T STOP NOW, I MIGHT EVEN KILL YOU!" Fiera shrieked, it really scared the macho Inu papa. He had never seen Fiera so fired up before, and her other son was standing right there.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that was either invisible or very feminine." Suluko said half-guilty half-angry.

"You get what I mean." Fiera said, still not cooling down. It was going to be a long day for them. Where exactly were they going to start looking?

To Naraku and Co

There sat a frustrated around 8 year old Naraku wondering what was taking so long. He couldn't go out and fight anymore and they had to get a new kimono everyday. He even lost his demonic power, Luckily for him, he knew that Sesshomaru was going to reach the stage where he didn't even exist anymore faster than him. The hourglass was more then half empty and that meant faster age loss for Sesshomaru. Also, Naraku only went down by one year, he knew Sesshomaru, it would be by two.

"When's Kagura coming back and I'm hungry." Naraku whined "And why is my kimono such a girly color?" He stared in angry and annoyance at his purple and pink kimono.

"Because there were no other ones your size. We'll get you another one tomorrow." Hakudoushi said simply and slightly annoyed.

"Yes, we'll have to anyways." Kanna added in. This curse was annoying all of them. See, they didn't' like always having to go to the kimono designer and either kill off another one, steal their soul or just steal the kimono. It was too stressful for them. Not to mention, having to hide him away from everyone else. There was a pause.

"I'm still hungry." Naraku said, obviously just trying to complain. Kanna got up and brought him something small to eat. He ate it quickly and then complained for more.

"You're going to ruin your supper if you keep that up. Kagura won't be happy."

"When's she coming back? She was supposed to bring Sesshomaru so we could kill him. I also want a new castle, this one's getting to boring."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because you already have a perfectly good one here so don't go around pitying yourself because most children your age don't have castles." Kanna replied in her monotone voice still.

"Yes I do." Poor Kanna and Hakudoushi were having a very bad time with this. The hourglass was starting to glow green.

"Yes, Sesshomaru's going to lose age real soon." Naraku said with an mischievous look on his face.

"You can't do evil grins anymore." Kanna replied simply. Naraku just glared at her.

To everyone else

Very quickly, everyone caught up with Kagura and Sesshomaru because they couldn't get through the barrier of Mount Hakurei.

"Why did you steal Sesshomaru, to execute him I take it?" Inutaisho said snatching Sesshomaru away from her shooting death glares.

"Actually father, that's Kagura and she's really nice. She was trying to get me away from Naraku." Sesshomaru said trying to make him understand.

"Well, at least your safe!" Toki said happily, because she was scared that her crush was going to die. It wasn't very often that anyone had to worry about that though. They all made peace and Sesshomaru said he wanted to talk to Toki alone.

"Why did you want to talk to me?"

"You seemed sort of depressed lately, I just thought that maybe you wanted to talk about it."

Toki smiled at Sesshomaru's kindness. She had absolutely no idea that he used to be a killer, basically, or that he used to hate the 'stench' of wolves. Sesshomaru decided to keep that his little secret though.

"No thanks, I'm fine, but it's nice to know that you care." Toki was sure that Sesshomaru liked her back, and didn't quite know about the kiss incident. And before either of them knew it, they were sharing the exact same thing Sesshomaru and Rin did. It ended quickly but…..

"That was nice." Toki said simply. Poor naïve Toki. Sesshomaru was just mentally slapping himself over and over again.

"Lets go back to the camp, okay?"

"Alright, but we weren't here very long. Is there something you want to tell me?"

Sesshomaru stuttered.

"Not that I know of!" Toki didn't believe him but decided to play along. They left back to the camp and Sesshomaru decided to get advice. From who, well, none other than his two timing brother. He had heard Kagome sit him because of it, or something like that.

"What do you need advice about? What did you do?"

"Well, I know that you were with two girls at one time. And….."

"And what did you do?"

"I'm two timing with Rin and Toki." (Don't hate Toki, she didn't' know)

"Well, do they both know about it?" Inuyasha asked wondering if Sesshomaru could get out the sleezeball way. Sesshomaru nodded 'no'.

"Then do the best you can to not let the other one know about it. If they find out, you're in big trouble." Sesshomaru looked scared but decided to try it.

To Rin and Toki

"Why are you happy today?" Rin asked curiously.

"Nothing really, why do you ask?"

"Because you've done at least 5 flips in the past little while."

"Well, I just got a boyfriend!" Toki squealed. Rin looked happy for her new friend. They were starting to get along.

"I have one too!"

"Who is it?"

"Sesshomaru is."

"WHAT BUT HE'S MY BOYFRIEND! HE JUST KISSED ME!"

"He kissed me too. What's going on?" Rin said confused.

"I think he's cheating on us." Toki said, trying to bottle up her anger. She hated it when people cheated. Rin then understood what was going on.

"Lets go talk to him and give him a chance to explain." Rin wasn't sure whether she was going to be able to keep her nice-girl attitude for this one. They marched over to Sesshomaru who looked even more scared than before.

"Did you kiss her too Sesshomaru?" Toki demanded an answer.

"Maybe…."

"Did you kiss her before me?"

"Maybe……" Sesshomaru figured if he just said maybe, he could get out of it.

"Do you like her more?"

"Maybe….."

"You kissed her too, right?" Rin was getting confused.

"Maybe….."

"Are you going to be saying maybe for all of our questions?" Toki was getting annoyed.

"Maybe……"

"Do you like Toki more than me?" Rin said, deciding to test it out.

"Maybe….."

"Do you not have any brainpower?" Rin was starting to have fun, ignoring the situation.

"Maybe……", "Oops."

Rin smiled slightly at her little victory and Toki couldn't resist a little smile too. Luckily for Sesshomaru, they had become friends and weren't reincarnations, so they wouldn't be hating the other one….. too much.

"You know you should think of an answer, but Rin was there first so it's okay." Toki was holding back her tears. Sesshomaru was starting to clutch his stomach in pain.

"Hey kid, are you alright?" Jakotsu asked from beyond the fire. All three of the love triangle had completely not noticed that they had been staring at them the whole time.

"I think he has a stomach ache." Rin said in a typical simple minded kid voice. Coincidently enough, Jaken was just thinking that Rin was a simple minded kid. Then, the green arrow appeared. Suddenly, guess what happened. The kimono was covering something, which Inutaisho feared could only be….

They pulled up the Kimono and there was, a four year old half-breed Sesshomaru.

AN: I'm sorry, have I lost it because I know that happens a lot towards the end of stories. You know, where the stories just aren't as good anymore. If that's the case, please tell me and I can work on it. Besides, I only have about 4 chapters left.
