The beginning of something dangerous is about to happen. This is by far my favorite chapter, because it explain pretty much everything about how InuYasha and his family ended up in Kagome's time. Next chapter coming soon.


Chapter 33: Kikyko's memory returns continued…

Tuesday afternoon

"Ha, ha… no, no…" Kikyko's childish voice stuttered. She was running away from a demon, she couldn't make out who or what it was, its face was covered behind a black cloak.

"Come here child….let me take you to your new home! Our master will be pleased with our catch," a voice behind the cloak spoke as it hovered through the air over Kikyko.

"DADDY!" she shouted, running through the village.

"STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM HER, KIKYKO…RUN!" my voice echoed. I jumped to the air holding Tetsusaiga out in front of me, Kagome stood behind me with her arrow held firmly against the string of the bow. She aimed it to the air, and released the arrow, I swung Tetsuaiga as Kagome's arrow whizzed past me.

"INUKO, TAKE KIKYKO AND RUN! Leave the village," Kagome shouted to them, as she pulled another arrow from her quiver. Kikyko ran past her mother towards her brother. He extended his hands out to her and grabbed her as she slammed right into him.

"COME ON…we have to go!" Inuko said panting, he grabbed her hand and ran.

"No, NO INUKO…" Kikyko shouted lifting her kimono with one hand, she turned her head to us as Inuko pulled her to him. A huge blast from Tetusaiga filled the air with a white light, I tilted my head to Kikyko and Inuko worried…Sango and Miroku where running towards them.

"DADDY…." Kikyko's voice shouted. Inuko grabbed her and pulled her to him, he held his hands to her head. Kikyko extended her hand out towards us as Miroku and Sango ran past them.

"GO LEAVE THE VILLAGE, TAKE HAKURA AND KIRA AND KOJI WITH YOU!" Miroku shouted to Inuko and Kikyko. At that moment everything happened so fast, we were surrounded by hooded figures, the entire sky filled with an army of hooded creatures.

We couldn't make out who they were or what they were. Sesshomaru had arrived just at that moment, he landed to the ground near me. I looked at him as he held Bakusaiga out to the air… I then tilted my head to the kids again. Why haven't they left yet!

"NOOOOOO FATHER!" Inuko shouted, his eyes filled with tears. I lost track for one minute and put my guard down, I was about to yell at the kids and tell them to leave. One single second, and I was struck through the chest by a poisoned spear… three of them struck me. All I heard at that moment was Kagome's voice, Sesshomaru sword clashing with another sword, and Miroku and Sango's weapons whizzing past me through the air.

"AAAARGGGH!" I shouted and fell to my knees. I think I blacked out at that moment.

"NOOOO DADDY! INUKO WE HAVE TO HELP FATHER," Kikyko shouted. Inuko pulled her to him tighter and picked her up and ran.

"Kagome…." Sango said worried, she ran her hand over Kikyko's forehead.

"What's happening Mishu, her breathing is labored, and her body is trembling!" Kagome said kneeling next to Kikyko. Mishu touched a hand to Kikyko's wrist. Her prayer beads where glowing.

"She's in the dreamscape, her mind isn't with us right now…she has to pass this stage, everything will become clear when she does!" Mishu said to them. Kagome looked at Kikyko and let out a deep sigh. She ran a cloth over her forehead.

"COME ON WE HAVE TO GO," Inuko shouted to Kira and Hakura, Hakura extended her hands to her brother. He ran to her.

"Where are we going Inuko… where are our parents?" Hakura said panicked, she pulled her baby brother to her back in a sling and came towards Inuko. He looked at her worried.

"We have to leave the village; our parents…they'll find us!" he said to Hakura quickly running his hands over his eyes, so she didn't see his tears. Kira quickly gathered some food and blankets; she wrapped them and pulled the bundle around her back.

"Were's Kikyko?" Hakura said looking around the hut for her.

"Huh what?" Inuko said worried, he panicked as they ran out the hut to look for her.

"CHILD… WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" a hooded figure stood near Kikyko looking at her. It held the tip of its sword to the air in front of Kikyko's small body. She looked at him, her eyes black as coal. She held her hand to the air at the creature.

"YOU DISTROYED MY KIN…. YOUR FAMILY YOU STUPID CHILD!" the deep husky voice of the hooded figure spoke to Kikyko. She kept her eyes on this figure.

"KIKYKO…." Inuko's voice shouted at her. He was running towards her with Kira and Hakura. He slid along the ground and held his hands out to Hakura and Kira.

"Stop no… no one come near her!" Inuko said sniffing the air. He noticed her scent change, he knew this wasn't Kikyko, she wasn't herself. She was a half demon, her spiritual powers intertwined with her demonic form, her body and image didn't change. But her blood was that of a half demon, a spiritually powerful half demon. She didn't even hear Inuko's voice shout for her.

"Kikyko…Inuko we have to save her! He could kill her," Hakura said panicked. Kira leaned in towards her sister and held her hands to her face.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" Kira screamed when she noticed the bodies of their parents under the rubble of their hut.

"WHAT…. NOOOOO MOM DAD!" Hakura shouted. Inuko pulled his arms around her and Kira and pulled them away.

"DON'T….. don't…" Inuko said with tears in his eyes.

Kikyko lifted her hand to the air, and in an instant her own spiritual powers surrounded her small body and released a force of energy through her body and from her hand destroying the creature before her, and everyone around her. She pulled her hand down and turned to her brother.

She had thrusted them to the ground near our bodies. We were buried under the rubble of a hut, Kikyko looked over to her brother, Hakura and Kira and came towards them.

"Sis….how….could… you do this!" Inuko's words stuttered out. She bent down to him, her black eyes looked at her brothers' face, and a small smile touched her lips.

"Ki-Kiky-ko…why!" Inuko stuttered out. He took his last breath and passed out near Hakura and Kira. Kikyko stood up and looked around the rubble.

"Hmmm…" she stuttered out, she smirked and turned to the village.

"HUUU HUUUUAAA!" Kikyko's voice panted. Her prayer beads started to glow around her wrist even more.

"Mishu I have to wake her, somethings wrong!" Kagome said touching her hands to Kikyko's arms.

"No Kagome, do not break her from her dreamscape, if she's this far in…three hours now, that means she's almost there!" Mishu said touching his hand to Kikyko's wrist again.

"Calm down Kagome, let me call Miroku and figure out what to do!" Sango said standing up, she reached into her kimono sleeve for her phone and dialed Miroku's number.

"Child, what have you done!" a voice said near Kikyko. A woman with long white hair parted into two pig tails, and pale skin, she wore a long purple and white kimono, approached her. InuNo Kimi stood in front of Kikyko looking at her. The necklace that hung around her neck with an amulet of the Meido stone shook between her hands.

Kikyko looked up to Kimi and tilted her head at her. Just as she was about to lift her hand to the air and release her spiritual powers at Kimi, Kimi opened a portal to the otherworld.

"Child come with me!" she said lifting the Meido stone to the air. Kikyko watched her curious and came towards her. Kimi's stone pulled Kikyko into the portal as it closed behind them.

"Ohhh!" Kikyko said noticing she was in a black vortex; nothing was around her. No movement, no bodies, nothing…she was in Kimi's world now, the otherworld. Kikyko held a finger to her mouth and looked around.

"Child…I should scold you for your actions, how dare you!" Kimi said to her, she sat on a white chair in this black room, her eyes remained affixed on Kikyko's tiny body. Kikyko looked at her and came towards her.

"Huh… who are you?" Kikyko's voice chimed. She was normal again, back to her normal self. She looked herself over and tapped her hands along her kimono. Kimi let out a deep disgruntled sigh and watched Kikyko as she twirled around looking herself over.

"You know not of what you have done…do you child! This is such a shame…" Kimi scuffed, she let out a deep grunt and shifted herself from her chair. She kneeled down to Kikyko. Kikyko stopped twirling and looked at Kimi.

"Huh…what have I done? Where am I?" Kikyko said to Kimi. Kimi touched a hand to her head.

"COME ON… COME ON KIKYKO BREATH!" Sango said pressing her hands over Kikyko's chest. Kikyko had passed out and stopped breathing. Her body was ice cold. Miroku, myself and Sesshomaru had just arrived at the temple. We ran up the temple stairs in a panic. Just as we came through the temple and to the outdoor training grounds, my father came towards us.

I moved passed him to Kikyko, who was on the ground surrounded by her mother, Sango and Mishu.

"SHIT! Here let me," I said taking over from Sango. I held my hands over her chest and started to press down against her chest.

"What the hell happened?" Sesshomaru said kneeling near Kikyko. Kagome was crying, she held her hands to her face and turned away from us. My father looked worried and concerned, he kneeled down near Kikyko and touched a hand to her head.

"I shouldn't have let her train…she wanted to train, and I knew… I knew this would happen," Kagome mumbled into her hands. I looked up at her then back down to Kikyko.

"We need an ambulance this isn't working!" Miroku said tapping on his phone.

I panicked, when Sango called us, Kikyko passed out. She completely stopped breathing. We all piled into Miroku's car and sped here so fast I swear if a cop saw us, we would be behind bars right now. I was terrified, Sango and Kagome where panicked over the phone, my father was trying to revive Kikyko… even now, looking at her pale white face… I was about to lose my mind!

"KIKYKO COME ON BREATH!" I shouted at her pressing my hands over her chest again and again.

"Huh…what did I do?" Kikyko's childlike voice chimed. Kimi let out a deep exasperated sigh and held her Meido stone up to Kikyko.

"Do you know what this is child?" she said to Kikyko, Kikyko shook her head and looked at the stone.

"I will give you another chance, you must do right this time… and never allow your spiritual powers to cause this must destruction ever again. I will return your family and everyone to you, to another time…with no memories of what has become." Kimi said holding the stone out towards Kikyko. Kikyko looked at her confused.

"Where are we going? Is it somewhere fun!" Kikyko chimed, she was still unaware of what transpired. She destroyed our entire village, and everyone in it. Including the hooded figures that were still alive and ransacking the village.

"Touch the stone child, and all will be forgotten, you will be giving one year, a new year to start all over again!" Kimi said to her. Kikyko smiled and her small hands touched Kimi's Meido stone. That's when a white light filled the black room around Kikyko's small body, and our entire world ceased to exist. We were thrust into Kagome's time frame, with one year given to us, as if nothing happened at all. Kagome and Sango where not pregnant as if their entire pregnancy had not happened yet, we were living in an apartment laughing and enjoying ourselves.

"AGAIN, RECHARGE THE PADDLES!" an EMT said to his partner. He held the paddles over Kikyko's chest, and an electrical current transferred from the peddles to her body. I stood up and pulled Kagome to me. She was still crying. I held her to my body and turned her away from Kikyko.

"Shhhh, shhh she's going to be just fine!" I said to Kagome. She buried her face into my chest and cried. Miroku did the same and pulled Sango away from Kikyko.

"Hhhuuhhh," Kikyko's voice stuttered out. The EMT let out a deep breath and pushed the paddles back into the cradle of the machine.

"Child hey look at me," the EMT said tapping Kikyko's face.

"KIKYKO!" Kagome shouted, she kneeled down near her and picked her up and held her to her body. I let out a sigh of relief and bent down to her as well.

"Thank god!" I said to her and touched her head. This was the most terrifying moment of my entire life, whatever happened, whatever Kikyko saw in her visions, in this dreamscape caused her so much grief that her body shut down. I looked at Kikyko as she slowly opened her eyes. Kagome embraced her and held her closer to her body.

What the hell happened!


Kyoto (Inuko and Hakura)

"What? Come on that's not fair, your cheating! Wrong move Hakura…" Inuko said watching Hakura move her rook on the chess board. He rolled his eyes and let out a grunt.

"You do realize you're playing a chess champion, 3 years running!" Inuko said holding his claw against the bishop. Hakura leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms.

"Yes, Inuko I'm well aware, just move your piece… oh mighty chess champion 3 years running," she teased him and smiled. He scowled at her, then moved his figure over the king.

"If you move that piece…" she said watching him tip the king back and forth against his claw.

"What Hakura, if I move the king?" he said to her. She rolled her eyes and let out a deep sigh.

"You win!" she said to him. He smirked and looked her over, they were playing strip chess. He looked at her and then to the piece.

"You still have your bra on, yet I… am still dressed!" he said looking himself over. She rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Move the piece Inuko!" she grunted and grumbled at him. He smirked then moved his finger over the bishop again.

"Nah, I'll let you play a little longer! Besides, you haven't made any good moves yet and I have half your board," he said, he moved the bishop forward and leaned back in his chair watching her. She scowled at him.

"Uh huh! I have like four more moves left," Hakura said leaning forward, he watched her and chuckled.

"Huh!" he said noticing his phone vibrate on the bedside table. He got up as Hakura contemplated her next move, she looked over the board and then to Inuko as he answered his phone.

"Inuko!" Kagome's voice said on the other end.

"Oh mom hi! How are you?" he said to her cheerfully. She turned and looked to the ambulance as the EMT loaded Kikyko into the back of the ambulance. Kagome let out a deep sigh, she wasn't sure if she wanted to tell Inuko of what just happened to his sister.

"I'm alright, how are you? I miss you…." she said to him. He smiled and returned to the table, he sat down and watched Hakura as she talked to herself contemplating her moves.

"We're doing fine mom, Kyoto's great!" he said to her. Kagome let out a deep breath and put on a cheerful façade.

"That's great my love, we all miss you here so much! I know I do….will you be home tomorrow for your brother's 11th birthday party?" she said to Inuko. He looked at Hakura and let out a deep grunt.

"Aaah, I almost forgot about Hoshiki's birthday party, ah! Mother why didn't you tell me of this sooner," he said to her, Hakura lifted her eyes to Inuko and smiled.

Kagome chuckled and turned to me. I ran my hand along her back and let out a deep breath. The ambulance pulled out of the lot, I pulled Kagome to the car, she followed next to me and got in.

"Sorry sweetie, you went on your honeymoon, I assumed you remember your brother's birthday! Guess you where…busy!" she chuckled. Inuko grunted and rolled his eyes.

"We'll be there mother! Is everything okay, I hear a car are you going somewhere?" Inuko asked her as Hakura made a move. He looked at the board and smirked, he shook his head at her and pressed his finger down against the king. Hakura sighed and rolled her eyes, Inuko lifted the king, and just as he was about to move it and put it down Hakura reached around her body and took of her bra. Inuko chuckled and moved the king. He tipped it down along the board signifying a CHECKMATE!

"We're heading home from Kikyko's training, nothing to worry about… we'll see you tomorrow my love!" Kagome said to him. Inuko smiled as Hakura rolled her eyes and leaned back in her chair.

"We'll be there mother, before 6PM, see you tomorrow!" he said to her. Kagome clicked the phone. Inuko looked at his phone then to Hakura, he put the phone down on the table and crossed his arms.

"I win!" he said with a smirk.

"Yeah because you're an idiot!" Hakura said to him. Inuko slid his chair out and watched Hakura.

"Come on you know the rules of the game. Put on a show women!" he said waving his hand to the air. Hakura rolled her eyes and stood up from the chair. She giggled and came around the table to Inuko. He smirked watching her.

"Oh you'll get a show!" she said running her hands along her body.


"Kagome…stop! Please!" I said to her as I followed the ambulance to the hospital. Kikyko was going in and out of consciousness, the ambulance EMT's wanted to make sure she was okay enough to return home with us. Miroku had followed us in Sango's car. Sesshomaru went with him, so did my father. I held my hand against Kagome's hand trying to calm her down.

"InuYasha, I don't know what happened…she was in her meditation, and I'm sure she was in the dreamscape! Then suddenly she faints to the ground and…we can't wake her!" Kagome's worried voice started to make me worry.

"Please… don't panic, don't worry over this. She's going to be okay Kagome, Ishikaro is working today!" I said parking behind the ambulance as they unloaded Kikyko out of the back of the truck, Ishikaro ran out to her.

Kagome ran a hand over her stomach and opened the car door. I looked at her and opened my door as well.

"KIKYKO…someone tell me what happened!" Ishikaro shouted to us as we ran towards him. Kagome came over to his side as they wheeled her into the hospital, she started to explain to him everything that happened this morning. I let out a deep breath as Ishikaro and some nurses pushed Kikyko's gurney through the hospital to a room, Kagome and Sango followed him.

"InuYasha we need to talk!" my father said behind me. I let out a deep breath and turned to everyone.


"Damn the sword isn't here!" Roku's voice mumbled over his earpiece. Hero let out a deep disgruntled growl and looked around Inuko and Hakura's house.

"How is the boys' sword not here?" he said agitated. He looked over to the pegs of the mantel piece and shook his head.

"The boy took it with him," he said coming towards the fireplace.

"Sir Hero what shall we do now, we destroyed the entire place!" Roku said with a smirk, he looked around the living room and laughed.

"Don't worry Roku we left him and his mate a little message! Once they return from their trip…." Hero smirked and looked around the living room. The entire living room was destroyed, the couches flipped over, the glass table smashed, the TV and the entire shelving unit smashed on the floor. The kitchen cabinets opened, and their dishes destroyed.

"Michiru is at the boy's parents' home today, she knows her task and what she must do! I'm actually impressed she sent out a duplicate of herself to that boy's college…Yamatoo's college!" Hero said and smirked, he turned to Roku and touched his shoulder.

"Let's leave! Our job is done here!" he said to him. Roku let out a deep grunt and sighed.

"Awe! I wanted to stay near Kikyko's room tonight and watch her…" Roku said disappointed. Hero looked at him and shook his head.

"No not after what you did the other day! My father said you must stay far away from her for now," Hero said to him. Roku turned to Hero and let out a deep sigh. He lifted his cloak over his head and sighed again.

"Yes sir!" he said to him. Hero and Roku looked to the opened patio doors and darted out of the house. They left the shattered doors opened and the outdoor patio destroyed in their haste.


"No, absolutely not we are done with this conversation! Her training is over, she will no longer train anymore…" I said to Miroku, my father and Sesshomaru.

My father crossed his arms and looked at me.

"Now do you understand my reason when I asked to take her to Totosai?" he said to me. I looked at him and growled.

"She will not wield a sword either, Kikyko will live her life as a normal girl, she will no longer train to be a miko or wield a sword… understand?" I said to them. Miroku touched my shoulder to get my attention.

"What happened today InuYasha, was Kikyko passing her meditation test, she's young her body couldn't handle it like Kagome did…she passed it InuYasha! Toga is right, we must take her to Totosai, if that's what is required to harness her spiritual powers, then we must do so… and she must after that, finish her training…" Miroku said to me. I looked at him and let out a deep grunt.

"No! That's final! I will not discuss this anymore," I said to them, I hit Miroku's hand off my shoulder then came around him and my brother to Kikyko's room. My father looked at me and let out a grunt.

"He will come around to your way Tashio," Miroku said to him.

"I hope so, I do not think Kikyko will be able to contain herself under another meditation or in the dreamscape, if it comes down to it again…" my father said to him. Miroku let out a deep breath and touched his forehead.

"Let's make sure she is well and take her home! We mustn't discuss today's events with her until she is ready to come to us, speaking of her thoughts in the dreamscape could leave her mind in a deep dark state," Miroku said to my brother and father. Sesshomaru looked at him and nodded. He came around him to the waiting area. My father did the same.

"I'm okay really!" Kikyko said to me and her mother, I leaned forward to her and kissed her head.

"You scared us!" Sango said touching her hand to Kikyko's hand. Kikyko smiled at her.

"What happened…?" Kagome asked her and sat down on the bed next to her.

"I don't…remember!" Kikyko stuttered out. I looked at her face, she did know exactly what happened, whatever it was…must have terrified her.

"Her blood pressure is fine, and she's doing well, she can go home!" Ishikaro said coming through her room, he looked Kikyko over. I stood up and came over to him.

"What happened to her?" he said pulling me aside, Kagome and Sango sat near Kikyko talking to her, changing her mood and cheering her up.

"Like Kagome may have told you, she was in her dreamscape…under intense mediation, and she passed out and stopped breathing…" I said in almost a quiet monotone voice to him. He looked over to Kikyko then to me.

"Should I be concerned about this? Being in the dreamscape, doesn't cause a person's body to shut down… your wife knows this firsthand; she was in that realm herself," Ishikaro said to me. I looked at him and let out a deep breath.

"I don't know what Kikyko saw in her thoughts, or what happened in the dreamscape, but it must have been so terrifying that her body shut down because of it," I said to him. He tapped my arm and came around me to Kikyko's bedside.

"Well Kikyko you are good to leave; I will discharge you so you can return home!" he said writing on his pad. Kikyko looked at him and smiled.

"However, you must rest, and I will give you some sleeping pills to help you sleep with clear thoughts," Ishikaro said to her he leaned over her and tapped her head. She smiled at him.

"Thank you!" she said. He touched her head and nodded to her.

He let out a deep breath and came over to me handing me a prescription.

"Don't worry InuYasha! I'm sure whatever happened….was the last of it, she's more powerful then we give her credit for!" Ishikaro said to me, I looked over at Kikyko again and walked Ishikaro out of the room. As we were coming out of Kikyko's room I closed the door behind me. My father came towards us.

"Ah Toga!" Ishikaro said to him. My father looked at him and nodded, Ishikaro was about to turn from us and return to his rounds when my father held a hand up to him.

"Ishikaro…how is Kikyko?" he said to him. Ishikaro smiled and gave him a slight nod.

"She is good enough to return home, however I do not feel she should train again at least for a couple of days… just until her body recovers from this, she needs to sleep mostly!" Ishikaro said to all of us. Sesshomaru and Miroku came towards us as well.

"Good then she will go see Totosai!" my father said again in a deep coarse voice. I grunted and shook my head.

"Totosai, ah the old man who lives in the mountains… yes I've heard of him, he's still there…swindled some humans into thinking he was a lord and owns a large temple there! Koga has seen him in the mountain area a few times while he journeyed there…" Ishikaro said he crossed his arms and nodded.

"I figured that's what the old man did," Miroku said and let out a deep sigh.

"Kikyko will not see Totosai, we already discussed this!" I said agitated. Ishikaro looked at me then to my father, I think he felt the tension in the room, he held up his clipboard and nodded to us.

"I must continue my rounds, InuYasha make sure Kikyko takes those pills over the next few days and she rests at home! I suggest she shouldn't return to any training until her body and mind has recovered," Ishikaro said to me, I looked at him and nodded as he turned away from us and returned to his work.

"She will go see Totosai and that's final!" my father said to me sternly, his voice had a bark to it. I rolled my eyes and shook my head, he came around Sesshomaru and to the sliding hospital doors. I followed him.

"I said no to this! Why are you going against what I choose for my daughter's well being," I said to him, he growled and turned to me.

"BECAUSE TODAY WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF WHAT IS TO COME… hear my words InuYasha, she will go see Totosai and you will agree to this! Because right now, I know what's best for her… you are her father yes, but she is dangerous… she cannot and will not survive another passage through the dreamscape. What happened today, was a warning…" my father's deep bark of a voice hissed angrily at me. I've never heard him this mad, heck I barely knew the man, he was angry… I can tell because the purple markings on his face changed to a reddish tinge and his eyes turned red as well when he spoke.

Sesshomaru came towards our father and held a handout to him, calming him down.

"Calm down father, no need to get angry over this!" Sesshomaru said to him. I crossed my arms and growled at my father.

"Once she's home, I'll think on this!" I said to him. I came around Miroku and to the parking lot, and to the car.

"Toga, we will take Kikyko to Totosai but we must handle this differently, and carefully… Kikyko has never meet this old man before, and she has not spoken of what was in her thoughts. We must find that out first before we take this step, wielding a sword, changes you…InuYasha is worried of this, and I understand his reason!" Miroku said to my father, he came around Sesshomaru and to the car as I pulled up to the curb.


Kyoto College (Lunch hour)

"Damn I hate that class!" Yamatoo yawned and stretched his arms along the table. Miyazaki looked at him and laughed. Yamatoo let out a deep sigh and picked up his phone from the table, he leaned back into his chair and texted Kikyko.

"Hahaha, I know Dr. Tomo's class sometimes sucks! Hey at least tomorrow we are going to do a live work around on a living space. Do you have any design plans in mind for your space?" Miyazaki said to him as he dug his spoon into his bento box. Yamatoo lifted his eyes to him.

"We each get our own small space to work with and have one hour to decorate it using the furniture and household accessories provided to us, we have no idea of what is provided, colors of anything or how the space looks like… so no, I have no plans for what I'm doing tomorrow until I get there!" Yamatoo said to him agitated.

"Bro, we have a layout of the space, it was handed to us in class… did you not look it over?" Miyazaki said to him. Yamatoo shook his head at his friend and grumbled.

"Who is he?" the girl with long black hair said from a table across from where Yamatoo and Miyazaki sat for lunch.

"Ah Yamatoo, he's a demon…and not very friendly!" Yumi one of the girls at their table said. The girl kept her eyes on him and smiled.

"He's handsome…the purple markings on his skin is rather attractive," she smiled again and ran her hand through her hair.

"Your name's Setsuna right?" Sotaru said to her. Setsuna turned around in her chair and looked at her, she smiled and nodded.

"He's not interested in any girls here apparently…" she said to her in a matter of fact tone of voice. Setsuna looked down to her bento box and then lifted her eyes up to Sotaru.

"Oh, how so?" she said to her, Sotaru sighed deeply and reached into the pocket of her jeans and pulled out a picture. She threw it down on the table. It was a picture Yamatoo had in his locker of him and Kikyko together. It fell from his locker when he exchanged his books for his classes.

"Who is she?" everyone at their table said as they leaned forward looking at the picture. Yumi picked it up and looked at it.

"Apparently his girlfriend!" Sotaru said to everyone.

"What she's so young, she looks like a child…" Kotaru said at the table, she was human girl with short brown cropped hair, a little on the tubby side and wore large round glasses over her green eyes. Everyone looked up at Kotaru when she said this.

"She is a child…I mean there's no way she's close to his age!" Sotaru said to everyone. She rolled her eyes to the ceiling and balanced a pencil over her lips in a childish manner.

Setsuna took the picture from Yumi and smiled.

"Well if she is a child, then I'm sure he wouldn't mind a woman, I think I can sway him over to my side…" she giggled and held a hand to her mouth. The girls looked at her surprised.

"Good luck on that, he dropped me like a rock when I said those exact words to him!" Sotaru said to her, she pulled the pencil from her lips and looked at Setsuna as she opened the compact in her hands and checked herself over.

"Wait what you're going over there right now?" Yumi said to her surprised.

Setsuna nodded and smiled. Setsuna unbuttoned the first two buttons of her white blouse and shifted her hair over her shoulders, she checked herself over again and smiled as she got up from her chair.

"He won't break!" Sotaru said watching Setsuna as she made her way over to their table.

Yamatoo lifted his eyes from his phone to Setsuna as she pulled a chair out at their table and sat down. Miyazaki smiled and held his chopsticks to his mouth.

"Hi," she said and smiled.

"Uh hi?" Yamatoo said to her. He put his phone down on the table and looked at her.

"I'm Setsuna, I'm new in school… I was in your class this morning," she said to him. Yamatoo eyed her down then narrowed his eyes to her.

"I know who you are!" he said to her and shifted himself in his chair. He leaned forward to the table.

"Your scent is strange," he said to her again. Setsuna looked herself over and then gave him a smirk.

"Oh you're a demon, well it's nice to meet you..." she said and extended her hand across the table. Miyazaki looked at her when she did this then looked at Yamatoo for his response. Yamatoo looked at her and sat back in his chair. She pressed her lips together into a hard line and pulled her hand away.

"Is there something you want?" Yamatoo asked her again.

"Dr. Tomo's class is so challenging, and I'm struggling on solving the mathematical equations he uses to formulate room measurements," she said and rolled her eyes. She sat back in her chair and crossed her arms. Yamatoo looked at her again and let out a deep grunt.

"If you're asking for tutoring lessons… I charge for them," Yamatoo said to her. Miyazaki smirked and watched him and Setsuna without words.

"Well that's understandable, the most popular guy at school giving free lessons probably wouldn't stand well with your reputation," she chimed cheerfully and leaned forward to the table so that her breasts where revealing through the opened blouse. Yamatoo kept his eyes on her and crossed his arms.

"If you want tutoring lessons then say so, I work during school hours and charge per hour…" he said to her clueless over the fact she was hitting on him. She smirked and sat back in her chair; she unbuttoned the third button to her blouse. Miyazaki saw her do this and chuckled. He kept his eyes on her opened blouse revealing her white bra and curvy breasts.

Yamatoo rolled his eyes.

"Lunch is over, if there is nothing else you need you can find me here tomorrow after school hours! When all other tutors meet with their students," he said to her and shifted around in his seat. She reached into her pocket for a paper and reached for the pen on the table.

"Here my number!" she said to him. Yamatoo looked at her as she extended her hand across the table, he looked at the paper.

"I don't need it!" he said and stood up, Miyazaki chuckled watching Yamatoo as he pushed his chair in and picked up his phone. He turned from the table and to the crowd that formed as students started to pack up from lunch.

"Wow your friend is a hard head, isn't he?" Setsuna said holding the paper out to Miyazaki in her hand. Miyazaki chuckled and took the paper from her.

"He is sometimes… don't worry I'll give this to him!" he said to her, she smiled and got up from her chair. Miyazaki laughed and closed the lids on his bento box.


"Good she's asleep!" Kagome said as she closed the door to Kikyko's bedroom. I let out a deep breath and nodded following Kagome to the stairs.

"Let's make some food and not worry about this right now, let her sleep we'll wake her to eat in a few hours!" I said coming down the stairs behind Kagome. Makoto was shouting loudly in her highchair as we came down the stairs and to the kitchen.

"What are you shouting about?" I said to Makoto, I came around her and leaned forward to her, she looked at me and held out her giraffe.

"What is with you and that giraffe, why do you hold it out every time someone talks to you?" I said to her. She laughed and waved her giraffe at me.

"Ah ah! Yum… aah yum," she shook her giraffe again.

"Yum… oh my gosh, what is it Mako, are you hungry?" Kagome chimed cheerfully as she came around her. Makoto's eyes where affixed on the plate her grandmother was fixing and preparing full of rolled sushi. My mother looked at the plate then to Makoto.

"Does she eat rice or solid food yet?" my mother said to Kagome.

Kagome shook her head.

"No she doesn't have her teeth yet, she wouldn't be able to chew the rice or anything solid!" Kagome said pulling Makoto from her highchair. Just as she pulled her form her highchair, Makoto threw a tantrum and started shouting and crying.

"AAAAHHHH YUM YUM!" she shouted again.

"Makoto stop struggling in my arms, you can't eat solid food especially sushi, how about I feed you?" Kagome said to her as she took her to the living room, she sat down near the boys who were still videogaming and pulled Makoto to her lap.

Hoshiki looked at his mother and smiled then turned his eyes to the TV.

"AAAAAH NO NO... YUM!" Makoto shouted as Kagome adjusted herself to breastfeed her.

"Huh, well why don't we try feeding her some rice first…" I said to Kagome from the kitchen. Makoto stopped shouting when she heard me say this. I scooped some rice from the rice cooker into a bowl and came around the counter to the couch.

"InuYasha she can't chew rice yet! She could choke on it," Kagome said to me as I kneeled down to them. Rin smiled looking at us from the kitchen, she bit into a carrot and giggled. I pressed the spoon into the rice so that a small amount of rice stuck to it and held it up to Makoto.

Makoto sniffed it and smiled; she opened her mouth.

"Huh!" I said as she pressed her lips down around the spoon. I pulled it from her mouth and watched her carefully as she sucked on the rice.

"Huh, I think she likes it…" Kagome said surprised. She took the bowl from me and the spoon.

"I guess it won't hurt to slowly transition her to solid food…." Kagome said as she scooped the rice on to the spoon again. Sango and Rin laughed watching Makoto's excited reaction from the couch each time she ate the rice. I smiled and turned to the patio doors joining Miroku and my father and Sesshomaru outside. The boys saw me come around the house and shut of the gaming system.

They followed me as well. My father, Miroku and Sesshomaru where in the garage working on Kikyko's car when I came into the garage, the boys ran in behind me.

"Good we're finishing up the engine before Kikyko wakes and realizes what we are doing!" Miroku said to me, he tossed a towel over his shoulder, I looked at him and came around him to the engine that hung on two long metal chains from a bar near the car.

"Good, then we'll finish the interior!" I said to him, Sesshomaru helped me unhinge the engine from the chains.

That afternoon I said nothing to my father, we didn't speak to eachother, which I really didn't care for right now! Kikyko was still asleep upstairs in her room, Kagome had checked up on her twice, she slept peacefully and soundly. During this time, we spent the entire afternoon in the garage with the boys adding some touches to Kikyko's car before the major interior installation. We were going to take it to a shop so they can professionally finish up everything else for the car and tune it up to make sure it was safe to drive.

Micha the housekeeper had left just as soon as we got home from the hospital with Kikyko. I was surprised by her work and how the house was so clean, I hope Kagome keeps her around for a while, I really didn't want her to do anything or over work herself like she usually does. I let out a deep sigh and turned my eyes to Miroku who was trying to get my attention.

"Well so far so good, I have an appointment set up for next week to have the car professionally finished and tuned," Miroku said running his arm over his forehead. I nodded tapping my hands together.

"Good, her birthday is in a couple of months, she's going to love this!" I said to them. Hoshiki smiled and chuckled near me.

"With a new car in the garage what would we tell Kikyko? She's going to ask who it's for and why it's here…" Hoshiki said to me. I touched his head and laughed.

"Boy it won't be in our garage; it will stay at your uncle Sesshomaru's home for a few months!" I said and ruffled his hair. Hoshiki grunted and pulled my hand off his head.

"Well that's stupid!" Hoshiki huffed and grumbled. I laughed and watched him as he and the boys organized the tools again, like they always do after we finish with them.

"Ah, there you guys are! We set up the tables outside, I'll go wake Kikyko so she can join us!" Kagome said coming through the garage. I looked at her and smiled.

"Wow its looking great!" she chimed walking around the car.

"Yup, the interior is next!" I said to her and tossed a towel over my shoulder.

"Well wash up boys and come eat!" Kagome said sternly, she giggled and came around the car to the garage door. I rolled my eyes at her as she disappeared to the house.

"Hahhaha yeah we should go eat! I'm starving," Miroku laughed. We all finished up from the garage closed the bay door and turned off the light, as I came through the door, I heard Kikyko's voice in the kitchen.

"Ah, there you are! How are you feeling?" I said to her as I came around her to the kitchen sink. I turned the water on and washed my hands.

"I feel great! But I'm hungry… aghhhh!" she whined and rubbed her stomach, she then giggled and picked up the tray of drinks from the counter. I looked over at her as she followed her mother outside. I smiled and closed the water then dried my hands on the towel that hung on the stove.

"Hmm…. Good!" I said and came around the counter to the patio doors.


Tadahiro's Houshold

"Women why have you returned?" Tadahiro said to Kikyo as she came around a tree nestled in the deep dense forest surrounding Tadahiro's home. She tossed a sword to the ground near him.

"What is this?" he said, as he was about to bend down to the sword a white spiritual light repelled him.

"The human girl…the daughter of InuYasha, will wield this sword, and when she does… all of you will cower in fear!" Kikyo said to him. She bent forward to the sword and picked it up.

"How is this even possible? We heard of her family travelling to obtain a weapon for her, how has it been forged yet?" Tadahiro watched Kikyo as she wrapped the sword in a cloth.

"It has been forged; her father requested it…they will travel to Totosai to obtain it within a few days! Do not attempt to strike her or come near her family, while they journey leave the family alone," Kikyo said to him. He looked at her and smirked.

"Is this why you came…to warn us of this?" he crossed his arms and eyed her down. Kikyo ran a hand through her long black hair and laughed.

"Warn you, hahahah…I have done no such thing! I came to tell you to stay away from the family as they journey to obtain this sword," Kikyo said to him again. He grunted and growled under his breath.

"We were struck hard by Tetsusaiga that demon sword, why would we attempt to ambush the family at a time like this…" Tadahiro said to her again, Kikyo shifted the sword closer to her body and turned.

"Because your son and that boy…Roku are reckless!" she said again, as she was about to disappear through the dense forest, Tadahiro leapt to the air and landed in front of her blocking her path.

"What do you know women, there is something you fail to tell me!" he said grabbing her arm, she looked at his hand against her arm and lifted her eyes to him. A smile touched her face.

"I know of her dreamscape passage, it is fully opened, meaning the child knows to much…with this power she will destroy anyone and anything that comes in her way, I warn you… tell that boy of yours to stay away from InuYasha's family! The child will set up a perimeter in the forest near her home, it will destroy anyone who comes near it," she said and pulled her arm forcefully from his grasp.

He growled and watched her as she came around him and disappeared into the trees.

"Father!" Hero said coming towards him, Tadahiro turned and looked at his son.

"Ah Hero! We need to talk," he said coming towards his son. Hero smiled and nodded to him.

"Nizu may have the baby soon, I'm worried…we cannot be reckless or attempt any moves on InuYasha or his family anytime soon," Hero said to his father as they headed back to their large estate. His father looked at him and nodded.

"Nizu must rest and must remain indoors, as for you son as well… Roku, tell that reckless boy to keep away from that girl! If I must tell him again, I won't be nice about it," Tadahiro said to his son. Hero smiled and rolled his eyes.

"Roku is obsessed father; he wants to kidnap Kikyko at night! Do you think this is possible, if we just take her, her mother would have no choice but to surrender to us," Hero said as they approached the glass patio doors.

"No son, we need to have a family meeting, has Michiru returned yet!" Tadahiro said to his son, he nodded and opened the glass doors.

"Gather the family we must discuss this!" Tadahiro said following his son into their home. Hero nodded to his father acknowledging his request.


"Wow this hot spring is gorgeous," Hakura smiled, she rested her chin against her arms and sighed deeply. Inuko ran his hand along her back and smiled at her.

"Yeah the water is amazing…damn girl what is with you! We just made love, ate so much takeout food, and now you wanted to bathe in the hot springs naked?" Inuko chuckled. She giggled and looked at him, she pulled her arms around his neck and smiled.

"So, what time should we leave tomorrow, your brother's birthday party will be at 6PM!" Hakura reminded him. Inuko grunted and nodded.

"Yes yes I know, I think we should leave early in the morning, I would like to visit our family when we return," he said running his hands along her sides.

"Mmmm, my naughty boy…you do realize…." She said near his face, she giggled and blew against his ear. He looked at her and blushed.

"…..mmmm you are so amazing you drive me crazy!" she said near his ear. He looked at her and smirked.

"Really? Well you don't seem to complain, so yeah….I'm that good!" he teased her and ran his hands through the water down to her butt.

"I was thinking…since we have this entire hot spring to ourselves, and its surrounded by a large fence and trees that maybe…." She said and trailed her tongue along the side of his neck.

"Wow your in heat! Damn, I like it…." he pushed her through the water to the side of the hot spring and pinned her against the side.

"Mmmmm…." She ran her hands down his chest and started to kiss his neck and collarbone.

"Wow, babe slow down!" he said to her and chuckled.

"This is our last day here…." She said against his lips and kissed him. He pulled her close to his body and smirked.

"Its 4pm right now, we played chess…made love, ate… and now you want to go again?" Inuko teased her, she giggled and nodded running her hands down his back and to his butt.

"Mmmmm…..good!" Inuko mumbled against her lips. His hands ran down to her butt again and grabbed her he pulled her up against him.

"AHH HA!" she stuttered as his hand slid between them, he slipped his member between her legs and smirked.

"OH GOD!" she stuttered out; she pulled her arms around his neck tighter.

"Mmm….fuck!" Inuko stuttered out to her as he pressed her against the edge of the hot spring. He slowly moved his hips against her body.

"Yes my naughty boy…mmmm…" Hakura mumbled and giggled. Inuko ran his tongue along the side of her neck and thrusted his hips against her again a little faster.

"MMM…..THIS IS SO GREAT!" she stuttered out and giggled. He smirked and held her butt firmly against his body.

"Come on… come on baby!"

"AAAH YES!" she stuttered out as he moved his hips against her faster.


"Huh! Sis are you okay?" Hoshiki said to Kikyko outside. He watched her as she sat on the lounger kicking her feet to make the swing move. Hoshiki jumped up to the lounger next to her and looked at her.

"Hoshiki I'm okay…why are you asking?" she said and looked at him. He smiled and lifted his arms up to her. She smiled and pulled him to her and hugged him.

"Why are you being so affectionate today?" she said to him, she pressed her head against his and hugged him. He chuckled and pulled his arms around her body.

"Because I was worried about you…you didn't seem happy when you came home and you looked sad," he said to her. I looked over at them and shook my head. Yeah just the other day they were fighting over her hairbrush and now their hugging each other. Huh! Strange!

"I'm okay Hoshiki really…" Kikyko said to him. I watched them trying to hear their conversation. Sesshomaru was talking to me, I didn't realize this until I felt his arms pull the box from my arms.

"Huh, hey!" I said and turned my eyes to him.

"You weren't hearing what I said…will you be organizing the shed and moving it again for Hoshiki's birthday party," Sesshomaru said again. I looked at him and nodded.

"Yeah we've invited everyone over for tomorrow, so we need to make room. Now that father is here, he can help us move the shed," I said to him, my father looked at me then over to Kikyko. He shifted himself away from us and came around the shed towards the house. I saw him lean against the house near the lounger, to the opposite side of the house. I think he was watching Kikyko again. This irked my frustration. I rolled my eyes and let out a grunt. Miroku noticed my mood and touched my shoulder.

"Well then let's move this shed and get the backyard ready," Miroku said to us. I nodded to him and rolled up my sleeves.

"Tomorrow you'll be 11 years of age Hoshi," Kikyko said to him. He smiled and nodded to her.

"Yeah, I really want to have a party. Mom said we can't have one because she'll be training with you tomorrow, and dad is busy with work…" he let out a deep disgruntled disappointed sigh, Kikyko pulled him from her body and looked at him.

"Hahhahha…. What makes you think we won't have a party tomorrow?" she said to him. He looked at her and huffed he crossed his arms and let out a deep grunt.

"Because mom said we can't!" He grumbled again. Kikyko giggled and touched his head.

"You little turd!" she said to him. He growled at her and pulled her hand from his head.

"Ah Kikyko come on stop that!" Hoshiki said to her and grunted, Kikyko pulled her hand from his head and smiled at him.

"Sis…I don't like it when people rub my head and touch my ears," he said to her again. She looked at him straight faced and smiled.

"Do your ears hurt or something?" she asked him worried. He nodded and sat back against the cushions of the lounger.

"They do sometimes, not sure why though! Its not painful or anything, they just tingle sometimes…" he said to her and rubbed his hand over his ears. Kikyko smiled and held her hands over his head.

"Huh what….are you doing?" he said to her, he rolled his eyes up and looked at her hands as they emitted a white spiritual light over Hoshiki's ears.

"There!" she said and smiled; she pulled her hands away from his ears. He looked at her then ran his hands over his ears.

"Uh… what was that for?" he said nervous.

"Huh! InuYasha?" my father said, his eyes remained affixed on Kikyko and Hoshiki. I turned to him.

"What….hey old man are you going to help us move this shed or what?" I hissed at him.

"Kikyko….she emitted a white light over Hoshiki's ears because he complained his ears hurt him and tingled," my father said again. He turned his head to us and I could see the confusion strike his face. I put down the box I was moving off a shelf to the ground and came around the shed towards him.

"What….why would she do that?" I said standing near him, I looked over at Kikyko and Hoshiki as they conversed and laughed. I narrowed my eyes to them, now I was beginning to question this, why did Kikyko emit her spiritual energy over Hoshiki's ears?

"Kikyko?" I shouted to her. She lifted her eyes to me and smiled.

"Yes?" she said from the lounger. I came around my father to them and bent down near the lounger, I held my hand against the metal bars stopping it from swinging.

"Did you use your spiritual powers just now?" I asked her calmly, Hoshiki was still confused himself, he ran his hands over his ears and was mumbling to himself. His eyes diverted to me then to Kikyko.

"Yes father I did!" she said to me and smiled.

"I asked you before not too," I said to her again calmly. She kept her eyes on her brother as he rubbed his ears, he smiled then mumbled to himself again.

"Hoshiki was complaining his ears hurt, so I helped him…" she said and ran her hand through her hair. I leaned forward to her and touched her face gaining her attention. She turned her eyes to me.

"Why?" I asked her again.

"His ears hurt!" she said again. I looked at her curious. She said she would never use her spiritual powers for anything, after that night of the ambush, after Inuko's wedding, I was terrified she would attempt to release her powers again. I tapped her face and stood up. I looked at her again then came around the lounger to my father who was still leaning against the side of the house, watching her.

"We're going to see Totosai, this weekend!" I said to him as I passed him. My father looked at me then turned and followed me.

"What made you change your mind so suddenly?" he asked as I returned to the shed. Miroku and Sesshomaru looked at me when I bent down to the box I left on the ground.

"I knew Totosai was hiding in the mountains for a few years now," I said to everyone. Miroku put the box down he was holding and looked at me.

"InuYasha and you never said anything?" he said to me, he ran his arm over his forehead and let out a deep breath. I shook my head and reached for another box off the shelf.

"After Inuko's wedding…when we were ambushed, after what Yamatoo said Kikyko did…I sent a message to Totosai….he forged her a sword by my request!" I said again. Sesshomaru came around the opened door of the shed and to me.

"You what?" he said behind me. I turned to them.

"You already have a sword made for Kikyko this whole time…then what the hell was all this about…not having her wield a sword and wanting her to be a normal girl again…." My father said agitated. He touched his forehead and grunted.

"I didn't want her to use a sword because once you pick up a weapon…it changes you!" I said to him. Miroku touched my shoulder and shook his head.

"A sword InuYasha will suppress her demonic form so that she does not loose control again," Miroku reminded me of the conversation we had weeks ago. I nodded and let out a deep grunt.

"I KNOW THIS… don't you think I don't realize this, this isn't easy for me you know! My 14-year-old daughter is not a sword expert, she's a priestess in training…heck I don't even know if she's going to continue her training after today…." I said in a loud agitated angry tone. My father let out a deep sigh and shook his head at me.

"…this angers me because Kikyko is powerful, and she knows this. I worry she's going to lose control again and something catastrophic will happen because of this…" I said to everyone again. I touched my forehead and closed my eyes for a moment. The thought of Kikyko…my precious daughter, wielding a weapon…a sword was far too much for me to fathom. Even though I did have one forged for her, I wasn't planning on giving it to her until I knew…for a fact it would suppress her demonic powers and protect her.

"InuYasha, we will go see Totosai this weekend, and I will insure we use a different strategy of training to help Kikyko's mind break from her thoughts…" Miroku said to me. I let out a grunt and growled at him.

"FINE! I want her trained Miroku, I want her to be able to harness and control her spiritual powers and never loose control again, if a sword will protect her from her demonic self….then so be it!" I said angry. I growled again and came around Sesshomaru and left the shed. He looked at me as I passed him.

"I knew he'd realize this on his own…" my father said watching me as I leaned over the patio table talking to Kagome and Sango. Koji and Yuki were near the lounger with Kikyko and Hoshiki, I could hear them talking and laughing. I pulled out a chair at the table near Kagome and sat down.

"We need to talk, we need to have a serious talk…" I said to her and Sango. Rin picked up the pea pods from the bowl and started to break them. She looked at us.

"Oh dear this doesn't sound good!" she said breaking into another pod.

I shook my head and started to explain the plan of taking Kikyko to Totosai. My father watched us as I told Kagome, Sango and Rin about everything that we discussed.

"We should finish this shed father! We mustn't let any of the younger children know of this, it will worry them, especially Hoshiki. His party is tomorrow, let us finish this shed and prepare for the gathering," Sesshomaru said to our father. My father turned his head to him and touched his shoulder.

He nodded to him and Miroku.


The entire day dwindled to night, Sango and Miroku returned home with their boys, Rin and Sesshomaru did as well. Sesshomaru was going to call Yamatoo and discuss the plan of going to see Totosai this weekend. I know he won't be to happy about that, but he will come with us, Sesshomaru wants a sword forged for him as well. Kikyko and Hoshiki crashed in her bed, I was surprised how nice they were to each other today. They fell asleep rather quickly after I had to yell at them to stop talking.

I looked at Kagome as she sat at our vanity. She was angry with me, I could tell, she wouldn't look at me and after the conversation we had at the table. She made it clear she was not happy with Kikyko wielding a sword.

I huffed and took off my shirt, I closed our bedroom door and came over to the closet.

"Your still angry?" I said from the closet. Kagome didn't reply. I grunted and came out from the closet pulling a shirt down over my chest.

"Kagome we have to do this…I'm sorry I know you don't like it but it will happen!" I said to her again. She forcefully put her brush down on her glass table and turned to me.

"She's 14, she will not wield a sword InuYasha! I don't care what your reason is, even if it is to suppress her demonic form…I am the one training her, I will do that! It's my job to make sure she learns how to control her spiritual powers," she said to me, her tone was angry. I could tell. She would fold her arms and scowl at me when she was angry. Her body also gave it away. I eyed her and smirked.

"Yup you are angry! Kagome….you know this is what has to be done…" I said to her and came over to the bed. I sat down on the bed and looked at her.

"I don't care InuYasha, why would you hide this from me. How can I trust you after this?" she said agitated. I sighed and shook my head, I turned my eyes to Makoto's baby monitor on the bedside table then back to Kagome.

"Kagome, listen to me you know this has to be done and you will go along with it. Kikyko is too powerful, whatever she saw in her thoughts during her training, that's only the beginning of it, I know tomorrow we are all busy preparing for Hoshiki's party and you will not be taking her out for training. But you need to realize Kikyko is dangerous, no matter how hard you push her or how hard you teach her control her spiritual powers, its her demonic form that takes over every time," I said to her. Kagome sighed and pressed her lips into a hard line together. She knew this, she knew I was right on this!

She got up from her chair and came around the bed.

I grabbed her arm and pulled her to me. She turned her eyes to Makoto's baby monitor.

"Hey…Kagome please don't be mad," I said to her calmly. She let out a deep breath and turned her eyes to me.

"I don't want that InuYasha, I know Tetsusaiga protects you, and controls your demon blood…but Kikyko, the thought of my…." She held her hand to her face and tears streamed down her cheeks. I pulled her to me and touched her face.

"Kagome, I know…I feel the same way, but we have to do this!" I said to her again. She nodded and pulled her arms around my neck, I pulled her to my lap and hugged her. He rubbed her hand over her face and touched her forehead to mine.

"I know you're against this…but….my father is right we have to do this Kagome!" I said to her again. She nodded to me and let out a deep sigh. I smiled and pulled her down to the bed. I shifted myself over her and touched her face.

"Please InuYasha…when you do go this weekend…." Kagome started to say, I smiled and pressed my lips to hers. She pulled her arms around me.

"Hm!" I mumbled against her lips. Her hands ran down my back and to my shirt. I slid my hand down her body and to the knot of her robe and pulled it apart.

"Hehehe," she giggled as my hand ran up her stomach and to her breasts. I diverted my eyes to Makoto's baby monitor at that moment.

"Huh what?" I said and pulled myself from Kagome. Kagome looked at me curious as I did this then diverted her eyes to the monitor. Someone was in her room, leaning over her crib. I narrowed my eyes to the monitor, and my heart jumped. The hooded figure had picked her up from her crib.

"HELL NO!" I jumped out of bed and darted out of our room to Makoto's bedroom.

"What…" Kagome said startled.

"AAAH AAAAH!" Makoto shouted. I came into her room with my claws bared.

"HIiisssssss!" the creature hissed at me when it saw me. It held an arm around Makoto's small neck and his claws dripped a green poison, he held his hand near her face.

"LET HER GO! Don't you fucking dare try anything…" I growled at this creature. That's when I heard Kagome come in behind me.

"AH NO, MAKOTO!" she shouted. I pulled her back behind me. Kagome looked at Makoto worried and held her hands to her face.

"The child is mine, we failed to take the other one…this one shall do!" the creature said through its black hood. I squinted my eyes and growled. I slowly came towards it. Kikyko and Hoshiki must have heard Makoto crying, they came into her room as well. I heard Hoshiki growl behind me and Kikyko restrain him.

"Do not harm her let her go!" I growled at the creature. It hissed at me and watched my moves as I slowly came towards it. It hissed again and slowly hovered itself off the ground and towards Makoto's window. I quickly diverted my eyes to her window, my father was outside Makoto's window, and he looked angry.

"Please, please don't hurt my baby…" Kagome stuttered out. I growled and came towards the creature again. It held his hand closer to Makoto's face.

"Come any closer and I will penetrate my claws into her tiny body and poison her," the creature said waving his green claws near Makoto. Makoto was crying and shouting hysterically. Her small hands pulled at the creature's arm.

"Dad… ah, do something!" Kikyko said from behind me. I growled and waved my claws in the air. In a single second I saw Kikyko near me, I turned my head to her…she had lifted her hand to the air and was about to release her own spiritual powers when my father crashed through Makoto's window and grabbed the creature around the neck.

"AARRRGGHHH!" Kikyko grumbled and put her hand down. I looked at her worried. Was she about to strike her own sister, or the creature? I then growled and turned my gaze to the creature. I quickly darted at it and took Makoto from its arm, my father growled and was about to use his claws on the creature when it disappeared from his grasp.

"WHAT THE HELL…." He said looking around the room.

I held Makoto to me, Kagome came around me and took her from my arms.

"What the hell was that thing…" I said looking around Makoto's room. My father looked out her broken window to the trees around our home.

"It's gone! Whatever the hell that thing was….we won't see the last of it," he said as well. He turned to Kagome who held Makoto in her arms trying to calm her.

"Kikyko…what where you doing?" I said sternly to her. Kikyko looked at me then to her mother, she ran her hand through her hair and went over to her mother.

"Hey….I was talking to you, where you about to strike that demon with your spiritual powers?" I asked her agitated, my father hadn't notice this. He looked at Kikyko and then to me. Kikyko touched her sisters head and turned her eyes to me.

"Kikyko…." Kagome said to her calmly. Kikyko touched her sisters head calming her down.

"Father failed to destroy the creature, grandfather couldn't either…" Kikyko said to her. I came over to her and grabbed her arm.

"Don't ever do that again!" I said to her. She looked at me and moved her arm from my grasp. She turned and left Makoto's room. Hoshiki looked at her and to his mother, then followed Kikyko out of the room as well.

"Was she… about to…" my father said behind us. I saw my panicked mother come up the stairs, she looked at Kikyko as Hoshiki followed her to her bedroom, her door closed. My mother came towards us. Kagome held Makoto to her body even closer.

"What happened!" my mother said worried, Kagome came towards her and left Makoto's room. My mother touched Kagome's shoulders and followed her as she went downstairs.

"I think Kikyko was going to use her own powers against that creature," I said to my father. My father sniffed the air and looked around Makoto's room again.

"With her sister in his grasp?" he said to me again. I sighed and turned to him.

"I understand why she needs a sword, I only hope it will help her control her demonic powers and not let them control the need to use her spiritual powers," I said to my father. He walked around Makoto's room and leaned over her crib looking at her broken window.

"Saturday morning InuYasha, we leave to Totosai!" my father said to me. I let out a grunt and nodded.
