Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Bankotsu, Shippou, Sango, Naraku… -continues naming names-

Muse: They get the point

Me: Alrighty then.

So chapter twelve already! Wow I am on a roll!!

Chapter Twelve: That's your dad!?

Naraku sat in the regal style chair in front of the fire place. He was in the one part of the house he wouldn't even let his cleaning staff touch, unless he was there to supervise them. He hadn't even let his wife in this room. He's very protective of his relaxation spot and right now he needed to relax. He had just received news that the sea monster he had sent after Inuyasha had been destroyed. Not only that it was destroyed, but it had perished under the powers of Kagome.

"Damn that girl… I knew there was something different about her. Who would have through it would be miko powers." He mumbled in a rage.

He had laced his fingers under his chin. He didn't understand how he couldn't have seen it before. He had seen the girl every year since she was a little girl. How could he, Lord Naraku, not notice miko powers in the years he had seen Kagome. Then again, she was never around him long enough to carry out a complete conversation, unless it was them yelling at each other. He didn't understand how he could've missed such great power from a little girl.

"That monster was not a weakling, I made sure of that. She must have had strong powers to kill that creature so easily." He pondered out loud.

He unlaced his fingers and set them on the arm rests. He tapped his fingers on the chair's arm rest in thought. He needed another plan, and he wanted a plan that would only take a few days to happen. His already had the navy involved, and Inuyasha seems to get away from the Navy with no problem. He didn't understand why Inuyasha could get away from his Navy ships, unless he didn't dock. The realization hit him like a ton of bricks.

"Of course, he doesn't dock until it's safe." He stated like it was now the most obvious thing in the world.

He re-laced his fingers, in thought. With that sudden realization and his situation with having two moles on his ship, he got to thinking maybe there was a traitor in his Navy. Someone who was telling the half-breed where his ships were and when they would be there. He growled at the thought of having a traitor in his own fleet. How he hated traitors who didn't work for him. He growled again. He was brought out of his thoughts by a knock on the lounge door.

"Master, Hojo is here. He says he needs a word with you. It's important." Came Kanna's voice from behind the door.

Naraku sighed. "Let him in." Naraku scowled, still thinking of the possibility of someone helping out his enemies.

Hojo came into the room and closed the door behind him. He stayed near the back of the room, not wanting to anger the man any further and getting injured himself.

"What is it that is so important, my friend?" Naraku asked.

"I am sorry to say that I have not received a report from Muso in quite some time. I believe he has been figured out and has been captured on the ship. I thought you should know as you are the client." Hojo informed him, sincerely.

Hojo had no clue on what to do, as this has never happened before. By the time the person figured out they were being spied on they would be dying only moments later. He had never had this type of situation happen before. He awaited for Naraku to speak.

"I do believe if we wait and let time take it's course, all will work out. Muso will escape, I do believe he will escape." Naraku said confidently.

He was angry that his spy had been found out, well one of his spies. He was told Bankotsu had successfully infiltrated the ship. He was annoyed yet interested at the same time at how the situation has turned out.

"Hojo, the next time you receive word from Muso, tell him he might want to get off the ship if they do know he is a spy. I also want to inform you there has been some new developments about Kagome. It appears she has miko powers." Naraku informed him.

"A priestess, are you sure?" Hojo asked, royally shocked.

"Indeed. She killed a sea-monster single-handedly, and that can only mean one thing."

"Miko powers." Hojo agreed with a nod. "Is there anything else you need?"

"No. Just tell me when you get in contact with Muso again."

"Yes, m'lord." Hojo bowed and disappeared out of the house entirely.

Naraku sighed heavily as he could only hope his thoughts on Muso would be accurate. Though he had a feeling they would be. His thoughts went back to what they were earlier. He could only wait and see if his thoughts were in any way true.

"Time will only tell. –sigh- I need to get some patience…" Naraku murmured.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha sat up in the bird's nest, the wind up there like a steady icy gust. He didn't mind the cold so much, he was practically warm all the time, the chill felt nice to him. He kept his eye out for any type of land, and made sure they stayed on track. He had sent out a hawk earlier to his brother to meet on their unmapped island. They had quite a few things they needed to discuss and it all revolved around Kagome's safety. It was getting very apparent to him that Kagome was getting into more danger the longer she was on the ship. Plus, she couldn't exactly go back home either as she had a bounty on her head as well. Naraku really wanted her, and now if he found out that she had miko powers, he would want her even more.

The last he left Kagome, she was sitting up in bed now, and able to eat by herself. He took that as a sign she was in the clear and he didn't need to worry as much anymore. He was lost in his thoughts as he looked up into the night sky. He was brought out of his thoughts by a pair of feet landing on the wood of the crow's nest. He looked over to find Kagome wrapped up in a blanket and making her way to sit beside him.

"Kagome! You shouldn't be walking around, especially not climbing up to the crow's nest."

"Inuyasha, I'm fine. I made it up here alive." She teased nudging him with her elbow.

Inuyasha stayed quiet. He looked over to her and sucked in his breath at what he saw. Her skin lit up in the moonlit sky, her hair giving off a bluish tint. Her eyes having the moonlight captured within them giving them more of a sparkle than before. A blush appeared on his face as she turned towards him a small smile on her face.

"Hey Inuyasha can I ask you a question?"

"You just asked one."

"Smart ass. Okay can I ask you two questions?"

"Sure."

"Have you ever thought about how you would be if you were a full demon?"

Inuyasha was caught off guard with that question. He was expecting more of a 'What is your favorite color' kind of question. He didn't know how to answer the question, in all truths. He had never really even thought about being a full demon. The only thing he had thought he would be like is like his brother Sesshomaru. I stuck up, arrogant asshole.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said waving her hand in front of his face.

Kagome gasped as he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his lap. Her face turned a bright read as he wrapped his arms around her waist and settles his nose in her hair.

"I never really thought about it." He whispered, sending a chill down Kagome's spine.

She turned to look up at him and blushed harder as she realized how close they were together. He started to lean down and was about to kiss her before a certain kitsune started yelling for Kagome.

"Kagome! Where are you!?" Shippou yelled, waking up most of the crew.

Inuyasha sighed heavily.

"I sent out a message to Sesshomaru. We're going to be meeting up with him soon." He informed her, not releasing her from his hold. Kagome smiled and kissed his nose, this got him to let go of her out of shock.

"Up here, Shippou." She called down to her adopted son.

She saw the little fox demon look up and smile. He started his climb up the rope ladder until he was in Kagome's arms. Kagome turned around to find Inuyasha in the same spot, Shippou jumped out of her arms and landed in front of Inuyasha. He rapped on Inuyasha's head a few time only to receive a hit on his head.

"Kagome!" Shippou cried and jumped into her arms again.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome's sing song voice reaching his ears.

"Uh… oh…"

"Sit!"

BAM! Face first into the wood of the crow's nest. When he finally got up he noticed Kagome and Shippou gone. He looked over the edge and saw her sitting on the deck, the kitsune sleeping in her lap. He sighed heavily and made his way down. He took a seat next to her and was going to say something, but stopped himself when she rested her head against his shoulder, leaning on him. He just smirked gently leaned against her as well. Inuyasha sighed contently.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kouga couldn't sit still for the life of him. It was a full moon and he just couldn't calm down, let alone have any kind of control. He had been watching Kagome from afar and now he was growling at the scene before him. Kagome, his woman, was sitting with Inuyasha. Not just sitting with him though, she was leaning on him in a loving way. The only way some one close would let you lean on them. His growling was growing louder until he couldn't take it anymore. He went up to Kagome and grabbed her arm, pulling her up and pushing her away from the hanyō captain. He then proceeded to attack Inuyasha, eyes flashing a dangerous gleam. Inuyasha dodged the attack easily, noticing Kouga was more sloppy than usual.

Kagome had held onto Shippou as he was on her lap when she was shoved away. She made sure he didn't get hurt in any way. She couldn't believe Kouga was acting the way he was and couldn't understand why until she looked into the sky. A full moon shone on the ship and bathed every thing on it in moonlight. It was beautiful to say the least, but it was obviously the thing that was affecting Kouga.

"Yasha! He is being affected by the moon. You need to knock him out or restrain him!" Kagome yelled, trying to make sure he didn't hurt Kouga too bad.

"Right. Got it." Inuyasha called back, having Kouga in a headlock trying to knock him out by lack of oxygen.

Kouga elbowed Inuyasha in the gut, but it didn't phase the hanyō captain one bit. He kept his hold on the wolf yōkai. It was only minutes later, after much thrashing from the mangy wolf, that he was out cold. Kagome sighed in relief and then noticed the distant calling of Ginta and Hakkaku. Ginta arrived first, standing next to Kagome while Hakkaku ran over to Kouga and picking him up.

"Hey Ginta, can we talk somewhere?"

"Yes, sure, Kagome." He said.

Kagome sat Shippou down and told him she would be right back. Her and Ginta went to the other side of the ship before they rested at a railing.

"What did you want to talk about, Kagome?"

"Does Kouga get like that every full moon?"

"Yeah, but it only happens on the night when the moon is the strongest." He informed her, and she nodded.

"Does he normally get that violent?"

"No. That was oddly strange, though I could see why if it was over you."

"Yeah it was." She sighed.

"Men… no offense."

"None taken." Ginta chuckled, facing her.

She laughed along with him. Ginta saw something out of the corner of his eye and turned to find the rat Muso coming at them with a blade. Ginta moved in front of Kagome quickly, taking the attack instead. He grunted in pain.

"Ginta…?" Kagome said, he smiled down at her.

"Can't have you hurt. Kouga would… kill me…" he whispered before slumping on her.

"Ginta!" She screamed, grabbing under his arms and slowly lowering him to the ground, him in her lap.

She looked back up to see Muso with a maniacal grin on his face. Her eyes widened terror as he readied his sword for another attack, an attack on her. He came at her again, she screamed expecting the pain, but when she found none, she looked to see Muso frozen in his tracks. When he fell, he revealed Inuyasha with his own sword out. He had a look of pure fear in his eyes. Fear and worry.

"Kagome, are you okay!?"

"I'm fine, but Ginta needs medical attention right now." She informed him.

Hakkaku ran up the stairs and took in the sight.

"Ginta! Inuyasha, what happened!?"

"The rat got out somehow, he tried to kill Kagome, but Ginta protected her. He's still alive, but he needs to get some medical assistance." Inuyasha informed him, sheathing his sword.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a week later when they arrived at the island where Inuyasha and Sesshomaru meet to talk. Kagome had been at Ginta's side most of the trip as she took care of his bandaging, and feeding. She felt guilty that he was in that shape as he was protecting her. They had thrown the dead rat overboard not wanting to have a rotting corpse on the ship. The demon's noses would go haywire.

Kagome was one of the first to get off the ship. She loved the beach this island had. There were hardly any rocks and the water was really clear you could see the bottom of the ocean. She was lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear someone come up behind her and wrap their arms around her waist from behind. He dug his nose into her hair and inhaled her scent. She turned around and saw the familiar purple marks and the crescent moon. She gave a wide smile.

"Just play along." He whispered and she chuckled.

"Oh Sesshomaru." She cooed and chucked once again.

"Mmm Kagome…" He whispered huskily and that's when a loud feral growl could be heard.

"Do you two have to do that every time you guys meet up!?" Inuyasha scowled.

"Yes." They both said in unison and laughed again.

Inuyasha's eye twitched at the sight of Sesshomaru laughing. He had never seen the demon smile, let alone laugh.

"Well, who is this lovely lady?" came a voice from behind Inuyasha.

He turned on his heel and came face to face with his dad.

"Dad?"

"Yes, it's me, Inuyasha."

"Wha- Whe- What!?"

InuTaisho walked past Inuyasha and to Kagome and Sesshomaru. He stepped up to Kagome, taking her hand and kissing it on her knuckles. Kagome went ten shades of red.

"Is anyone going to introduce me to this flower?" He asked, turning to Sesshomaru.

"This is Lady Kagome. Kagome this is my father, InuTaisho." Sesshomaru introduced.

"This is your dad!?" She exclaimed, the blush still on her face. He is hot! Like, 98 degrees hot!

"Indeed."

"Well, now I can see were both your son's get their charm from." She complimented, the older inu yōkai laughed.

"Certainly they have been behaving themselves."

"Oh yes, sir. They have."

"Please, call me Inu." He stated with a chuckle.

Both son's sweat dropped.

Well, there you have it guys! I thought that last bit was hilarious and definitely necessary! Haha! This chapter is complete! Whoosh. Lots more fluff, some seriousness, and then some comedy all rolled into one!

Stay tuned to find out what Naraku is up to and will the gang come up with a plan to protect Kagome! Will they plan it in time!? Find out next time!

Chapter Thirteen: But I was set up!
