Chapter 9: Do We Have a Deal?

For three agonizing days, there was no new evidence on finding Karin.

Kagome neither slept nor ate throughout the three days, causing the League members to worry over their friend and her health. They were relieved when she finally did get some sleep, when she was too exhausted to even walk.

With each moment that J`onn could spare, he tried to find Karin using his psychic abilities, but could never find any trace of her. 'Whoever has Karin, has the same blocking device on his powers just like the 'Injustice League,'' he thought. Even with this knowledge, he didn't give up and kept looking.

Somewhere Unknown

Karin was coloring on the floor of the room she was in. She was drawing her and her mother at their house, above the house she drew J`onn waving and smiling at them in the sky.

She smiled from the memory when he flew around carrying her in his arms one day. Karin had spread her arms out while he was holding her, as if she were a bird. The smile then turned into a frown, 'I want to go home,' she thought sadly, 'I don't like it here.'

Loud footsteps coming from the hallway broke Karin out of her thoughts. She crawled straight under the bed hoping that the mean, funny smelling lady would go away if she couldn't find her.

The door opened and a new scent hit Karin's nose. It wasn't the lady who came for her this time. It was the inu eared man with the long hair. He was wearing tan baggy pants and a red t-shirt. This man smelt funny too, but he was nice. He read her favorite book to her and gave her Kitsune-sama, her stuffed toy, when she was crying and scared, 'He kind of smells like Sesshomaru Oji-san.'

Inuyasha lifted the covers from the bed of 'Karin's room.' "Hey there pup, do you want to come out?"

Karin shook her head.

"Are you sure?" he asked. "I brought you some lunch, its Ramen," he offered surprisingly cheerful.

Karin smelled the salty noodles and her tummy began to rumble. Cautiously, she crawled out from under the bed.

Inuyasha smiled as she came out, 'she's finally warming up to me.'

When he found out about Karin being his daughter, he felt his heart swell. He never dreamed he'd ever have a child, especially with someone that he loved.

Suddenly, a throbbing headache began pounded in his head, 'No wait, I never loved Kagome, I love Kikyo.'

The pain in his head stopped. He put the tray on the floor and watched as Karin ate the food.

This was the first time Kikyo wasn't in the room with him when he was talking to Karin and wanted to see what would happen.

"Hey pup, what do you know about your Oyaji?" he asked.

Karin stopped eating, she tilted her head to the side and looked at the hanyou with confusion.

Inuyasha chuckled, since she looked cute doing that. "I mean your Otou-san, did you ever hear about him?"

Karin nodded, "Hai, Kaa-san told me lots of stories about him."

Inuyasha blinked several times. 'The bitch had actually told our pup about me, probably all lies no doubt.' "What kind of stories?" he asked.

Karin thought it over for a few moments, "Oh this one time, my Kaa-san was stuck in a really bad place that had an evil baby trying to hurt her. But my Otou-san came and saved her and took her home. And said he'd do anything to protect her. I like that story."

Again, Inuyasha was baffled by the information. He remembered saving Kagome from Hakudoshi very well. He did promise to protect her no matter what, 'And I broke that promise.'

Another headache began to form in his head, 'Wait, why do I care about the damn bitch. I'm with Kikyo, the love of my life.'

"Wow, what happened to him?" he asked.

Karin shrugged, "I dunno, Kaa-san said that they got into a really mean fight and Kaa-san ran away from him."

"Well, that part is true," he mumbled. "Hey pup, you want to know a secret?"

Karin liked secrets and started nodding.

Inuyasha chuckled then began to whisper, "My secret is," he leaned to whisper in her ear, "I'm your Outo-san."

Karin tilted her head to the side again in confusion. How can this man be her Outo-san? 'Well he is an inu hanyou…and he does smell like Sesshomaru Oji-san.' She got up from the floor and stood face to face to Inuyasha. Staring into his eyes that were the exact same color as hers.

She lifted her hand up and lightly brushed his inu hear, "…Outo-san?"

Inuyasha nodded to her.

Karin then gave Inuyasha, her Outo-san, a big hug, "Outo-san, I found you!"

Inuyasha smiled and rubbed her back soothingly, "Yea pup, you found me."

"That's right," said Kikyo from the door way. She was wearing tight blue jeans and a dark blue spaghetti strapped shirt that showed a lot of her top midriff. She walked to where they were on the floor and kneeled down to be eye level with Karin, "He's your Outo-san, and I'm your Kaa-san."

Karin sank her face into Inuyasha's chest and shook her head, "You're not my Kaa-san."

The woman's face turned angry, "No child, that woman you were with wasn't your real Kaa-san, I am."

Karin started to cry.

"Koi, you're scaring her again," said Inuyasha.

Kikyo snarled and was about to stand up when Karin's drawing caught her eye. She lifted it up and saw Karin holding hands with that life stealing whore. In the sky above them was that green Martian on the Justice League. They were all smiling happily.

In anger she tore up the drawing, causing Karin to cry harder. Kikyo stormed out of the room and slammed the door.

Inuyasha lifted Karin from the ground then sat on the bed, and began to rock her. He didn't understand why Karin didn't like Kikyo. She's an amazing beautiful woman, 'How could she not love her?'

Still Karin cried in his arms, "Shhh, it's okay pup. Your Outo-san is here."

Watchtower

Kagome awoke form her dreamless sleep and found herself in her resting quarters at the Watchtower. She stretched her body tiredly and rubbed her swollen eyes.

She walked out of her room and made it to where the rest of her team mates were in the monitor room.

They all stopped what they were doing to look at her,"Any news on Karin?" she asked them.

Some of them looked down, while others shook their heads.

"Kouga and his men haven't reported anything new," Batman told the miko, as he returned to the monitor. He was currently looking through all the security videos that were nearby the park the day Karin had disappeared, hoping to find even the smallest of clues.

Kagome sighed in defeat.

"Kagome," Diana said rubbing circles the young woman's back,"You'can't keep going on like this, it's not good for you."

J`onn was grateful that the others were just as concerned for Kagome as he was. Her usually happy self was truly missed by them. Even Flash was mood was down for the past few days because of her sadness.

Kagome didn't even have the strength to argue that she was fine. She glanced up at the videos that were on the screens, hoping to see Karin's face in one of them.

She didn't see her but a flash of something else did.

"Batman-san," she said getting the Dark Knight's attention. In fact, she got everyone's attention with the tone of voice she used. "Rewind that last tape a few frames," she pointed to the one she was referring to.

Batman changed the monitor so that only that tape was playing, before he did as he was told, and played the tape again.

"Wait for it," she said trying to catch what she saw again. "Stop," he stopped the footage. "Can you zoom in on this man here," she pointed to a man in a ball cap, jeans, and an extra-large t-shirt.

The others came around the screen hoping that Kagome was on to something.

"What is it?" asked J`onn. He felt the hope in Kagome's mind and knew that she found something important.

The man that Batman had zoomed in on had his head down from the camera. "Do you know who that is?" he asked Kagome.

Kagome's fists began to shake. Everyone braced for her tears again. They weren't prepared for what she did do.

She slammed her fist so hard into the table that her hand, breaking a bone in the process. Her powers healed her instantly but she wasn't even considering the pain. She was too pissed off to care, "Oh, I know exactly who that is."

Sesshomaru's Home

The Yōkai Lord of the West was using every resource and private investigator that he could spare to find Karin but to no anvil.

If he were still in the Feudal Era, he would have killed these men for their failure.

"The insolence of these pathetic humans still astounds me," said Jaken when he read the reports. Even after five hundred years Jaken still didn't care for the human race.

The house phone went off, "Moshi moshi," answered Jaken.

"Jaken," Kagome said on the other line, "I need to speak to Sesshomaru-sama now!"

"Why you disrespectful girl, how dare you order me," an angry Jaken began to say.

"Jaken," ordered Sesshomaru. "Give me the phone."

Jaken gulped, "H-hai, Sesshomaru-sama."

Sesshomaru grabbed the phone, "You found something."

"Hai," she told him. "And you're not going to like it."

Sesshomaru was wary from the tone the miko was using.

"It's Inuyasha…he's here, and he was the one that took Karin from the park," she told him.

Everyone in the Watchtower gasped.

"Miko, are you sure?" asked Superman. "The man's face isn't very clear."

Kagome nodded and pointed to the man's chest on the security footage, "See those beads on his neck. Those are Sacred Subjection Beads. Those with holy powers use them on yōkai to tame them. I had to use these on Inuyasha when I first met him."

"Maybe he left them on purpose for you to find and follow him," said the Green Lantern finding something so identifiable to be left on camera was a little too convenient.

Kagome shook her head at him, "No he wouldn't have had a choice, only the one who put on the necklace can remove it and I was the one who put them on him. Even Kikyo wouldn't have been able to take them off."

"As much as this Sesshomaru would like to hunt down that filthy hanyou," Sesshomaru interrupted on the intercom. "He would be far too weak and old to be a real threat and kidnap Karin."

"That's another reason why I called you," Kagome told him. "Inuyasha hasn't aged. He's still the same as I last saw him over five hundred years ago."

"But I thought you said half demons aged faster than full blooded demons do," said Hawkgirl.

"They do," said J`onn seeing where Kagome was getting at, "Inuyasha stopped aging."

"Well, what does that mean?" asked Flash.

Kagome shrugged her shoulders"I have know idea," she admitted.

Batman expressed his opinion, "You said that Kikyo keeps her body and youth sustained by stealing souls," Kagome nodded. "Could she be doing the same thing for him?"

"That would be impossible," said Sesshomaru, "The miko has to gather these souls because she is already, by all means, dead."

That's when it clicked for J`onn, "Perhaps…so is Inuyasha."

"Okay, I'm no spiritual expert," said Flash, "But wouldn't even a demon body begin to decompose over time, or something?"

Kagome began to sink to an empty chair when she realized Flash was right, "Not if his body is like hers now…nothing but clay and graveyard soil."

"You're telling me that Kikyo, made a clay body for him, so that he can live forever with her?" Green Lantern asked, trying to make sense of it all, 'I hate magic.'

"No," answered Sesshomaru. "She would have had to have killed him first, because bones or ashes are necessary to make the clay body."

"By the goddess," said Wonder Woman. She had no idea that someone could be capable of doing such a thing.

"That woman is twisted," said Hawkgirl disgusted. Everything that Kikyo did was against the laws of nature and needed to be stopped.

"But why take Karin though?" asked Flash.

"Because," said Kagome suddenly realizing the situation, "Clay bodies can't conceive children."

J`onn rubbed her shoulder in comfort, "Karin is biologically Inuyasha's child and Kagome has facial similarities to Kikyo." "That and nothing else," he said the last part in Kagome's mind. She grabbed his hand in appreciation.

"So they think of Miko, as nothing but a surrogate," said Superman appalled by this.

Suddenly, Kagome's cellphone began to ring, she picked it up and read a number she did not recognize. "That's weird," she said aloud.

"Put it on speaker phone," ordered Batman, who was ready to trace the call.

Kagome answered, "Moshi moshi?"

"Hello copy," said a cold female voice that made Kagome's blood boil.

"Kikyo…I was wondering when you would call me," trying her best not to yell at the woman.

Kikyo chuckled, "Well I've been busy. Motherhood is so demanding."

Kagome's hand tightened on J`onn's, "What do you want Kikyo?" she said harshly.

Kikyo made a tsking noise, "So naïve my copy, don't you even know. I want the same thing I've wanted since the beginning…MY soul back."

"Hurry up," whispered Flash to Batman.

Batman gave her a signal to keep her talking. The trace needed another minute to locate the call.

"Let me speak to Karin," Kagome demanded.

"Oh, I'm afraid that's not possible. Her Outo-san is reading a story to her right now," she said with sarcastic regret. "He's so good with Karin…it's a shame that she's tainted with inu yōkai blood, otherwise she would have been perfect."

"She. Is. Perfect," Kagome gritted through her teeth.

Kikyo snorted, "Oh right, I forgot, you're so anti-human when it comes to those you love. It's disgusting really."

J`onn's fist tightened at his side, 'How dare she,' he thought in a rare moment of malice.

"I'll make a deal with you copy," Kikyo said in a bargaining voice, "You give me back 'my' soul…and I'll give you back 'your' Kaa-san's soul?"

Everyone tried their best not to gasp at how dirty this woman was playing.

Batman got a lock on the signal and got a location of the phone being used.

"…Deal, where should I meet you?" asked a defeated sounding Kagome.

"Let's meet where it all began shall we," answered Kikyo tauntingly. "Oh and by the way, if those hero friends of yours do anything to stop me before or after I take back my soul. Then Karin dies," she said before hanging up the phone.

Somewhere Unknown (For Now)

"What did you say?" asked Inuyasha after Kikyo was done talking.

She turned to him and gave a 'did I stutter' look.

"You think my daughter's blood is tainted," he said hurt.

Kikyo rolled her eyes annoyed, "Don't get all sensitive on me."

Inuyasha tightened his fist. He didn't understand why she was saying these things. 'She loves me…and that means she should love my daughter too.'

"If you think my daughter's blood is tainted then you're saying mine is too," he told her.

Kikyo laughed, "Oh my Koishii, are you trying to fight against me again?"

Inuyasha was confused. 'What the hell does she,' his thoughts were stopped when Kikyo's eyes turned a dark purple and looked directly into his. All his thoughts were suddenly forgotten.

Inuyasha made a bee line toward Kikyo and picked her from the couch. She wrapped her legs around his body as he started to lay kisses her neck and chest, as he pinned her against the wall.

Kikyo was enjoying the attention of her lover, but still remembered the task at hand, "Inuyasha," she whispered in his ear. "I'm going to get my soul back. And if I don't come back in one hour when I try and get it…kill the whore's daughter."

Inuyasha pulled back to stare in Kikyo's eyes, "Your wish is my command Koi," he said before tearing her blouse and having his way with her.

Watchtower

Hawkgirl smashed the wall she was standing next to with her fist causing a huge dent, "That bitch is going down," said the blood lusting Thanigarian.

"I agree," said an angry J`onn in Kagome's mind.

"At least we got a location," said Batman who pointed to a suburban area. "She's in one of those five houses. All we have to do is,"

"No," Kagome interrupted. Everyone looked at her confused, "I need to meet with Kikyo."

"Are you insane?" yelled the Green Lantern.

"Out of the question," said Superman.

"It doesn't matter what you say because you know that I have to," she told them. "If Kikyo is coming to meet me than that means that only Inuyasha will be guarding Karin alone. It's going to take a lot of you to fight him and save Karin."

"Is he that tough?" asked Flash.

"After five hundred years, I don't know what he's capable of anymore," she answered honestly. "But he won't know what to expect from all of you. Besides, Kikyo will have my Kaa-san's soul too. If it's lost then she's dead."

"I don't like this," said J`onn. "You'll be putting your soul at risk by seeing her."

Kagome looked him in the eyes, "I have to J`onn. This is a fight that started long before you all became involved." She turned back to look at her team mates…her family. "Please, let me go."

No one liked the idea.

It was Green Lantern who broke the silence, "Fine, but if we're doing this, we got to be smart about it. At least two of us needs to be with Miko and the rest will take down Inuyasha."

"I'll stay with her," said Hawkgirl. She really wanted to hit that Kikyo bitch in the face with her mace

"I will as well," said J`onn.

Kagome shook her head at him, "J`onn you need to be with the other team. Karin will be scared and doesn't know anyone from the League. But she'll go with you."

"I'm not going to leave you," argued J`onn telepathically.

"Please don't fight with me J`onn," she begged him. "You promised me remember."

J`onn sighed in defeat. He did promise to bring Karin home and he was going to keep it.

"I'll go with her," said the Flash.

"Good," said Batman. "Then here's what we'll do."

There you have it folks. How many of you saw that coming? (I didn't, and I'm writing it) So what do you think? Next time: Inuyasha vs. the Justice League.
