Chapter nine: Kazaana

Kagome looked around the huge field in the back of the Morinozuka property. This should be good enough for Takashi-kun's training. I just hope his father will see reason and accompany us. She turned to walk back up to the estate when she noticed the others. A bead of sweat dripped from her temple, due to both the hot weather, and the severity of the situation. In short. She was dumbfounded.

"Can anyone of you tell me...WHY YOU SET UP A PICINIC HERE!" Kagome yelled angrily. "Honestly, this is not the time. I don't know why all of you followed me here anyway!" she fumed.

"Gome-chan!" Mitsukuni yelled as he attached himself to her. "It's cause we were hungry!" he looked up at her happily. "Taka-chan is okay with it." he told her.

Kagome looked to Takashi and sighed. "I'm going to go get your father." She said. "You need to see what the Kazaana is capable of."

Turning away from the group of idiots she began to make her way up to the house. Soon though, she heard something from behind her. She turned and stopped. She calmly got into the golf cart. "Thanks." she said. "It's really not good for me to be walking around this much, honestly. The baby is due in a few days."

"I noticed that you were looking a bit tired, so I borrowed a cart." he responded.

"You aren't going to charge me are you?" she asked dryly.

Kyoya laughed. "I was thinking about it." he said, "Though I see you've been talking to Haruhi."

"Yes. She told me about you using her debt as a blatant excuse to keep her in the host club." Kagome revealed. "Dirty tactics if you ask me. She likes the club. She would probably stay even if her debt wasn't being manipulated."

Kyoya smiled sweetly, "You really think so?" he asked with a laugh. "To be honest, all of us at the club would be lost without our natural type."

"Lies." Kagome said. "You just care about the profits."

"Nonsense. Haruhi is a friend." Kyoya said.

"Whatever." she told him. "I still say you tell her that her debt is done with. I know how much she owed, and it's long been paid off."

"Were here." Kyoya said as he parked the cart. He climbed out and offered his hand to Kagome. "Let me." he said as she took his hand.

When she was on flat ground, she smiled. "Thank you."

He nodded and led her into the house. They found Morinozuka Akira in his study. After knocking Kagome entered. "Morinozuka-san." she said with a bow.

He nodded at her. "Forgive me, Miko-sama, I'm feeling a little under the weather at the moment."

Kagome smiled softly. "I'm sorry you aren't feeling well, but I have something important to discuss with you."

"Can't it wait until tomorrow?" he asked in a pained voice. His eyes scanned the room. "Where are my sons?" he asked her.

"Takashi-kun is outside waiting for us in the field, and I assume that Satoshi-kun is with Haninozuka-san's youngest. I haven't seen him. Why?" she asked.

As Akira started to answer, Kyoya asked Kagome. "Do you hear that?"

At Kagome's blank stare he turned to Takashi's father. "Do you have a window open? I hear wind..."

"Ah...that is..." he began.

"Let me see your hand!" Kagome lunged at him as fast as a fully pregnant woman could. She snatched his hand into her own, and immediately noted the discoloration. Her eyes snapped to his face instantly. "How long?" she demanded.

"I don't know what your talking about." he protested weakly.

"Your hand, damn you!" she snarled. "How long has it been leaking?"

He looked taken aback. "A few days, Miko-sama." he admitted.

Kagome hit him upside the head in a fit of outraged anger. Kyoya looked on in shock. Did she just...hit the head of the Morinozuka family...

"Are you stupid?" she asked angrily. "These prayer beads aren't strong enough to hold the Kazaana any longer. They're five centuries old for god's sake!" she pulled him out of the chair.

"What are you doing?" he asked, struggling to pull out of her grasp. "Let go of me!"

"Kagome-san." Kyoya began in a soothing tone. "You should let him go..."

She turned to Akira in a panic. "Do you seriously think that loosing their father AND their house will be something that your family can handle?" she snapped. At his look she elaborated. "You should have asked me for help when you first felt the power of the beads weaken. All you've done is aggravated the wind tunnel! You have no time left! Now follow me damn you and lets get you to open ground." she turned to Kyoya, "When I tell you to, get the rest of the club away from the field. They need to be in the house. Especially Takashi-kun!"

"What's going on?" Kyoya asked.

"That doesn't matter right now. Do you promise me to do as I say?"

"I don't think that..." Kyoya said.

"I'm dying." Akira said softly. "Please, don't let Takashi see...I wouldn't be able to bare that...not after I saw my own father..."

Kyoya was in shock. "Hai...I'll get him away."

"Thank you." Kagome said as she pulled Morinozuka into the cart. "Now drive as fast as this thing can take you."

"Hai." Kyoya said as he sped up.

Several minutes later, Kyoya pulled over to the side, the rest of the club stood at the sight of Takashi's father. Tamaki ran forward. "Morinozuka-san! Daijoubou desu?"

He waved him away. "Hai. Now leave me."

Tamaki looked hurt. "But I..."

"Tamaki, get the others, we need to get to the house fast." he told him.

"But Kyoya!" Tamaki protested.

"Now!" he stated. The evil look in his eyes convincing his friend, who turned and began gathering them all up.

Kagome shot Takashi a glance. He hurried over. His schooled expression turning to that of shock. "Chichi-ue!" he gasped. He noticed that Kagome had formed a barrier around his hand. She looked at him and said, "He has no more time...I'm so sorry, Takashi-kun." Tears fell from her brown eyes.

"I'm sorry Takashi, this is not the legacy I would have liked to leave you...this cursed hand." Akira told his son. "Tell your mother...and your brother..." he cried out in pain, "I loved you all..." he collapsed to his knees. "Now go...get to safety." he ordered.

Takashi did not move. "Chichi-ue..." he began.

Kagome touched his shoulder. "Takashi..." she began... "He's made peace...the barrier on his hand only stalling the inevitable. It's only causing more pain, he needs you to get to safety. Go with the others."

"...I will not leave him at this time." Takashi told her.

"Please do as I tell you..." Kagome started.

"Ahhhhh!" Akira cried out in pain, as the barrier around his hand was sucked in.

"WHAT?" cried Kagome. "How?"

The prayer beads were sucked into the black void in his hand, and Kagome grabbed his arm and raised it above his head.

"Keep you hand up, don't point it at anything!" Kagome gasped.

"Chichi-ue!" Takashi bellowed loudly, his strong voice echoing across the field, and reaching the ears of his friends.

They twisted around to see what was happening, and Kyoya, once he saw, sped up to maximum speed. "Hang on." he told them.

Haruhi grew wide eyed as she saw her cousin holding the mans arm steady as birds were sucked into the vortex. "T-Takashi!" she screamed as she saw the man she loved shoot forward toward his father.

"Mori-senpai!" screamed Tamaki and the twins.

Mitsukuni grasped onto Haruhi as he too screamed out Takashi's name.

"Get back!" Kagome yelled. "Now! Hurry!"

Takashi ignored her as he reached for her hand. "You have to come too." he demanded. "I won't leave with out you."

A red and white blur flew past and Takashi was gone.

Kagome gasped. Inuyasha!

Haruhi let out an unearthly scream as Takashi disappeared. Mitsukuni was crying, and the rest looked close to tears themselves. Kyoya had stopped the cart when Takashi had leapt toward his father.

"Takashi!" Mitsukuni cried, as he buried his face into Haruhi's neck. She clutched at her small Senpai.

"Takashi...why..." she cried, as they looked on in horror as an explosion rocked the field. White, dusty, smoke rose above the spot where Kagome had stood.

"No! Kagome!"

The five in the cart quickly clambered out and craned their necks to see the person standing atop the cart. Long silver hair blew in the wind. A strange red haori shifted. The man jumped down and set something on the ground.

The group gasped when they saw that it was Takashi. He was looking dazed, and confused. His eyes snapped up in realization. "Miko-sama!" he gasped as he tried to stand. He was immediately hit on the head with a fist. He fell back down.

"Takashi!" The small blond yelled in fear as he lunged at him. He muffled his sobs in his jacket. "I thought you were dead Takashi! Wah!"

The rest of the group clambered around the tall man, Kaoru and Hikaru hugged him, tears in their eyes, Tamaki was currently latched onto his legs, and Kyoya gave his condolences.

Haruhi, however turned to the taller man standing next to the huddled group. "Shitsurei..." she asked him, "Arigato...for saving Takashi-kun..."

The man turned his amber eyes on her and patted her on the head. "Yeah, yeah...it was nothing." he said.

He turned and looked into the clouds.

"Kagome..."

XxXDuringTheExplosionXxX

Kagome watched as Inuyasha grasped her friend, and darted away, "Thank god," she said in relief. "He's safe now." she told Akira, who was struggling to hold back the wind tunnel until his son was out of harms way.

A loud scream ripped through the man, as Kagome felt arms wrap around her from behind. She felt the force of the explosion lifting them high into the air. Kagome screamed as her arms went to wrap around her belly.

"Can you be any more reckless?" A strong voice asked her in a serious tone.

Kagome stiffened. She struggled to turn, and get a glimpse of her rescuer. His iron grip left her no room to maneuver.

She looked down, instead, seeing her long time friend looking up at her. "Inuyasha..."

His hair was longer now, and he was taller. Almost as tall as Takashi. His face had matured a bit, but there were still laugh lines, which she saw now as they descended. "Hey! Kagome!" he yelled as he waved his hand.

Haruhi looked up and gasped. "Kagome!"

Kagome grinned and waved at her cousin. "Is everyone alright?" she called.

"Yeah, just shaken up!" Haruhi called back.

Soon they touched down, and Kagome felt the person's grip on her fall away. She stepped forward, and at the look of awe on her friends faces, slowly turned around.

Her eyes filled with tears, and her hand came up to her mouth. He was there. His long silver hair, was several inches longer, shifting in the breeze. His familiar white kimono adorned him, and his golden eyes searched her own. "Are you okay, Mate?"

He asked.

The rest of the group looked on in shock. Kagome had never said that her husband was a demon.

"Sesshoumaru!" she screamed as she launched herself at him, his arm coming up to catch her as she threw her arms around his neck. She pressed her lips to his in a hungry manner. Her fingers catching in his long silver hair. She felt the familiar softness of his Mokomoko as it wrapped around her, caressing her body as it left his hand free.

His hand came up and brushed a tear away from her face. His tongue ravaged her mouth as he cupped the nape of her neck. "Mate...Kagome..." he murmured.

"Sesshoumaru..." Kagome said as she buried her face against him. "Sesshoumaru."
