Chapter 28
Olivia walked over to Kaori, with Kentaro beside her. The girl regarded her quietly,
"Kaori, isn't it?" Olivia asked, "I'm Olivia. May I, perhaps, see that bow?"
Kaori looked at Olivia, then over to Kentaro, who nodded. Kaori handed the bow and arrows to Olivia. Olivia held them and thought,
'The bow is glowing and resonating. Why does no one else notice this?'
As she continued to hold the bow, a breeze began blowing her hair. Olivia looked around,
'There's no wind in here. Where is that breeze coming from?' she wondered.
Kentaro's eyes grew wide,
"WHAT THE HELL? YASHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
Yasha turned around and looked at Kentaro,
"What is it?"
"Olivia just disappeared!"
A bright light began filling the underground. Yashe suddenly began feeling woozy. As his mind went crazy, his eyes grew wide. He looked at the others gathered and saw that they were also feeling what he was feeling. Before Yasha had a chance to speak, a whirlwind began to appear and suddenly, his mother, Juliet and Azarni appeared on the ground at his feet,
"MOTHER! JULIET! AZARNI!" Yasha cried, in relief.
The pups gathered around, each shocked at seeing their mother and sisters. Yasha voiced their thoughts,
"Whatever Zachary did - it must have worked."
Other pups nodded in agreement as reality - their reality - set in.
Kagome spoke,
"We must return to the apartment."
The family turned and left the underground and hurried back to the apartment,
"Now we just have to wait for father." said Yasha.

Inuyasha left the border between this world and the next, sniffing the air for the scent he needed. Picking it up, he followed it. Running quickly, he found who he was looking for,
"Rin!"
Rin looked up from her spot beside Ah-Un,
"Lord Inuyasha. Where is Kagome?"
"She ... uh ... she's busy. Here, take this."
"Lord Sesshoumaru's sword. Did Kagome make it better?"
"Yea, she did. Give it to him, ok?"
"HmHm." Rin said, smiling, "Thanks!"
Inuyasha took off towards the bone-eater's well. Arriving at the well, he jumped in and was engulfed by its bluish light.
Sesshoumaru met him on the other side and the two headed to Tokyo airport to return to New York.
The next day, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru met up with their families at the New York co-op, where they were greeted enthusiastically. It appeared that their ordeal was finally over.

"Elliot, have you heard from Olivia?" asked their Captain.
He was seated in his chair behind his desk. Elliot Stabler stood in front of the desk,
"No, Capt. I tried to call her but there was no answer."
The door opened quickly,
"Capt. Elliot." It was Munch, "We just got a call from one of the patrols ... Smith and Lander ... there's been another murder."
The captain stood up, "Another woman?"
"Like before?" asked Stabler.
Munch just stared at them and then sadly commented, "They're at Olivia's apartment."
The two men stared at Munch then at each other. The three of them quickly headed out the door, followed close behind by Fin. Arriving at Olivia's apartment house, the men entered. Years of experience and exposure to vicious crime scenes had done nothing to prepare them for the sight that appeared in front of them. Olivia Benson laid on the floor, disemboweled, blood-soaked, and very much dead.

The phone rang in the small corner office, "U.S. Demon Services, Miramoto here." he answered.
"Boss. It's Fushikenwa. Kateitenma and his family have managed to dispense Soussoun-Pannan back to where he belongs. The murders will now cease."
"Good. Do we have a demon who can be parolled and sent to human prison for the crimes?"
"Yes. We have a bear demon from Russia named Ivan. He has been offered up for parole due to good behavior."
"Good. Hand him over to the NYPD. And make sure the media has wind of it. It'll make the police department look good."
"Right. Oh, and boss, are plans still on for this weekend's fishing trip. I'm looking forward to catching some tuna."
His boss laughed, "Yea, it's still on. We'll meet at the docks this Saturday morning. Say hi to the little woman for me, ok?"
"Sure thing. See ya later."
Miramoto hung up the phone, "Hmmm ... that half-demon has alot of guts. Yup. Power and guts."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The television blared the news,
"The next victim in the New York murder spree was that of New York police detective, Olivia Benson. Benson was discovered in her apartment with her stomach slit open just as the previous victims were found. The only difference, according to police, was that Detective Benson was not pregnant. This just in ..." the reporter continued, "Police have announced the arrest of a man in connection with these murders. We go now to City Hall where the police are now having a press conference ..."
Kentaro sat and listened to the news quietly,
"Why did Olivia have to die?" he queried.
"Son, the woman you were getting involved with ... she was not this Olivia Benson. She was an imposter ... your sister." said Inuyasha.
"I know." Kentaro mumbled, then stood up and walked away. He headed to the balcony and stepped out into the night air,
"I'm sorry it turned out like this for you."
Kentaro turned around and looked at the person who had spoken to him,
"Yasha."
Yasha put his arm around his brother's shoulders,
"If it's too hard on you, I'm sure Aunt Rin can do a memory spell."
Kentaro smiled, "Naaa. I'm alright. I don't need a memory spell."
Yasha shook his head, "It's a little sick, though ..."
"Huh?" asked Kentaro.
"I mean, you did your, our, sister."
Kentaro screwed up his face, "Aniki, you gotta go for the disgusting stuff don't you!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The demon people have taken care of it, haven't they?" Kagome asked Inuyasha, as she settled down next to him.
"Yup." he replied, kissing her forehead.
"So, when are we heading back for British Columbia?"
"Day after tomorrow. You'll birth the baby there."
"Ok." she responded and cuddled in to him, relaxing completely in his arms.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few months later, Kagome birthed the little girl. As promised, Zachary showed up on their doorstep with mystic nurses in tow. Kagome knew she had to give the baby up for the mystics to raise, but that didn't make it any easier. She cried as the mystics left with her child, the future Queen Mystic,
"She has to go. I know you know that." Inuyasha said, hugging her.
"I know. It doesn't make it hurt any less." Kagome replied.
"It's the mother in you."
Kagome smiled at him. He lifted her chin and looked into her eyes,
"We can try to make another one ... if that's what you want, Koshii." he said, softly, "Y'know, trying's half the fun."
Inuyasha enveloped her in his arms and kissed her lips. His world was back to normal and his family was together.
As the couple stood on the patio overlooking the mountains, Yasha poked his head out of the sliding glass door,
"Yo, Otou-san, y'know, maybe we oughta take a vacation ..." he said, a huge smile on his face.
His father turned around, "YASHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
