To AngelQueen1325 From Dark
As always I'm super glad you liked it! Tell me what you think I should do next?
"Where." The man demanded coldly while looking around, his eyes landing on Yusuke and narrowing at the sight of the young man.
"They're asleep! You better wait until morning!" Miyoko snapped at him, ignoring the dangerous flare of yokia coming off of him.
"Who the hell are you?" Yusuke growled at the man who had yet to take his eyes off of him.
"I assume this is the whelp of Raizen." The man stated and Yusuke tensed at the comment as his anger grew.
"Shut up!" Yusuke yelled and moved to lash out at the man, only to be stopped by both Hiei and Kurama.
"Yusuke, now is not the time for fighting." Kurama said, his green eyes trained on the man. Before any of them could make anymore moves, Ayame vanished in a small whirlwind out of the room. Confused and worried, the three members of the Spirit Team went to follow only to be stopped by Miyoko and her brother, Sasuke.
"Move!" Yusuke snapped at the siblings as they stood in his way. "Now!" Yusuke said a little louder and tried to shove them both aside. As he did he was thrown backwards and crashed into the table, sliding over the wood and landing in a heap on the other side of the table.
"Sorry about this, but you can't go back there." Miyoko said as Sasuke lowered his hands from throwing Yusuke.
"Trust me, when it comes to these demons it's better to just stay back." Hitomi told them from her spot in the kitchen.
"I don't care! Let me through!" Yusuke snapped and moved towards them again.
"Fool, even a half breed like you should know the dangers of entering the den of a bitch and pups." The man snapped at him with disgust, turning Yusuke's anger onto him.
"Oh yeah Old Man?" Yusuke growled and ignored the obvious signs of irritation from the man as he looked on at Yusuke.
"I, Sesshoumaru, will not be insulted by the whelp sired by Riazen!" He said coldly and seemed to vanish for a second before reappearing behind Yusuke, dropping the boy with a flick of his wrist that was so fast that only Hiei saw it with his Jagan Eye, leaving the team in awe of his power.
"See to the safety of the pups, Miyoko. Sasuke, see to these stains." Sesshoumaru calmly told the two demonic siblings and stood in the doorway as Miyoko nodded and walked down the hallway while her brother moved towards Kurama and Hiei as they lifted up an unconscious Urameshi.
"I'm sorry but you have to understand. Pups are not taken lightly and are protected more than humans protect their gold." Sasuke tried to tell them and fished a card out of his pocket. "Come back tomorrow. This will allow you to come straight up here without any trouble, but for now I think it safer for you to leave." Sasuke added and the two demon detectives nodded after a minute and carried their leader into the elevator, preparing themselves for an angry tirade once Yusuke gained consciousness.

Meanwhile Ayame was trying her best to comfort Akari while the girl pushed against her efforts. Ayame was surprised at the fact that Masaru was able to avoid them at his spot on the pile of blankets sitting on the bed.
"Go away!" Akari snapped at her as tears ran down the girl's face and she raced out of Ayame's reach every time she tried to get close to the younger girl.
"Akari," Ayame tried again but had to lean to the side to avoid a book thrown at her.
"No! I need Her! Not you!" Akari yelled at her and Ayame caught the smell of raw fear in her scent as well as see it in her eyes. Something had truly scared the child and from what she could tell Akari was going to go into shock soon if she was not already in it.
"Akari, calm down, you're going to hurt yourself." Ayame said soothingly as the child stood against the wall looking at her with eyes that seemed to see someone else. Slowly Ayame moved forward, inching her way closer as the girl's lips moved and she said something to low for the wolf demoness to hear.
"Mom, is everything okay?" Miyoko said through the door and Ayame growled in anger as Akari flinched at the sound and slid down the wall to cover her head with her arms.
"Yes, come in and get Masaru. Be careful though," Ayame warned her daughter as she listened to the door open and her daughter walk in.
"Come here, Cutie!" Miyoko cooed to the toddler who fussed a bit but let her hold him while he glared at her, looking very much like his father. "Sesshoumaru's gotten those boys to leave so I'm taking Masaru out there with me. He needs a change anyway." Miyoko said, glancing over at her mother as she gently wrapped her fingers around a shaking Akari's arms and pulled her close in a slow motion.
"It's okay, shush now." Miyoko heard her Mom whisper as she held the obviously crying girl as she eased out of the guest room and walked to the living room to see Sesshoumaru sitting in an easy chair, Hitomi eating a sandwich, and her brother sitting on the couch starring at a news broadcast with dull bored eyes.
"Pack!" Masaru suddenly barked from his spot in Miyoko's arms and started to squirm as he tried to find the person he smelled. Everyone was stunned as the toddler barked the one word over and over until his eyes fell on the human Sesshoumaru. "Pack! Idiot!" Masaru barked in Inu and said in Japanese as he grinned at his Uncle.
"Here, since he obviously recognizes your scent." Miyoko said and handed the toddler to a stunned Sesshoumaru, ignoring the senseless babble coming from the toddler's mouth as he latched onto his Uncle. "You might want to change him though." The girl said with a grin as she noticed the other occupants of the room wince at the smell. Without a word, Sesshoumaru lifted the child off of his lap by the back of his neck and held the now silent child out to Miyoko, who rolled her eyes and carefully took him. Sesshoumaru did not miss the sad and disappointed look the puppy eared toddler gave him.
"Return him to me when you are done." Sesshoumaru said calmly and looked away from the teary eyes even as the scent of tears started to ebb.
"Let's get you changed then!" Miyoko cooed as she walked to the opposite side of the large one floor apartment to Sasuke's bathroom, ignoring her brother's cry of 'not my bathroom!'
"So, which sector am I getting tomorrow?" Hitomi asked in the silence as she ate a chip and continued to watch the news as it talked about the attack earlier that day.
"None." Sesshoumaru said calmly, ignoring the girl's protests as he waited for her to finish. "You will be going to the Higurashi Shrine and help the family there go into hiding. You will be staying with them until further notice." Sesshoumaru said in his usual voice, making Hitomi growl as the wind picked up and thunder rolled in the distance.
"Fine!" Hitomi snapped and stormed out of the room and towards her own, which was one room down from where Akari and Ayame were.
"Looks like rain," Sasuke said calmly as he walked into the living room, wincing at the sound of a door slamming down the hall. "Her work?" Sasuke asked with a sigh as he lost his usual business air and plopped down on the couch looking much like his father, Kouga during the Shard Hunt, as he sat there.
"I have to admit, Hitomi has gotten better now that she works for you." Sasuke said as he looked at the glow of the city reflected on the storm in the sky. Sesshoumaru's only response was a small 'hmm' as he looked at the storm as it began to rain. "She's nothing like the girl we found her as back then." Sasuke said softly as he looked out at the scene in the sky but Sesshoumaru could tell he wasn't really seeing it.
"Pack! Idiot!" Masaru's happy bark and word rang out as Miyoko appeared and half dropped, half set the hanyo toddler down on his Uncle's lap.
"I'm going to bed. Good night!" Miyoko said before anyone could stop her and vanished down the hallway where all the females seemed to be that night.
"Leader?" Masaru whined for his father and hesitantly Sesshoumaru rested a hand on the boys head and softly ran his claws through his hair, soothing the boy as he leaned back to accommodate the toddler on his chest. Sasuke, by now, was watching in amazement as the Lord of Ice soothed the child to sleep, seeing a side he had only heard of over his four hundred years of life.

Once InuYasha and Shippo had crossed through the well they were bombarded by Souta as he fired questions at InuYasha rapidly.
"Where's Sis? Have you seen her? Where have you been? We can't find Kagome or the kids! Is that Shippo? Ha-" Shippo cut the boy off before InuYasha could, allowing both of them to sigh softly in relief at the relief the semi-silence gave them.
"What's going on?" InuYasha asked the boy as soon as one of the sentences registered in the man's mind.. "Where are Kagome and the pups?" He asked, grabbing the boy by his shoulders and shaking him slightly.
"We don't know. The last thing she told Mom was that she and Yusuke were going out for pizza with the pups and some of Yusuke's friends. She's been gone since yesterday!" Souta told them and InuYasha dropped him as he took a deep sniff of the air, trying to detect Kagome's scent among the normal pollution of the area.
"Shippo! Let's go." InuYasha snapped, making the boy jump to attention and nod at Souta. "Souta, tell your mother I will find Kagome. Until then stay here and don't leave the Shrine no matter what!" InuYasha demanded before running off, jumping up onto the roof with Shippo close behind before both demons vanished from sight.
A couple hours later a girl with white hair and red eyes showed up at the Shrine dressed in a punk style skirt with red and black stripped leggings and a skin tight black shirt with a fish net shirt over it. Souta wasn't sure what stunned his mother more, the girl's style or what she was telling them.
"Kagome's in danger?" Tsubaki whispered in fear as the girl nodded her head.
"We can't leave! InuYasha told us to stay here no matter what!" Souta said desperately and watched as the girl looked at him in surprise.
"InuYasha is here!?" She asked in shock and Souta nodded, seeing an angle he could work with.
"Yeah, and he would be pissed if he knew what you were doing." Souta told her as his mother bit her lip in thought.
"Look, as awesome as that may sound you have to trust me either way. My boss wants to protect you and to do that you guys have to go into hiding." Hitomi told them and pulled out a large brown folder from her messenger bag and handed it to them. "Here are secure passports for my boss' private jet, just pick a destination anywhere and get a place to stay. The credit card is untraceable and has unlimited access so don't worry about paying for anything, we'll take care of all of it." Hitomi told the Higurashi's and saw Tsubaki was close to giving in.
"But what about the chil-pups?" Tsubaki asked, correcting herself at the last minute.
"They'll be staying with my boss. We aren't even sure if you'll be targeted but we'd rather be safe than sorry." Hitomi told her and gave the woman her best sympathetic eyes. "If you won't do it for yourself, at least think of your son." She said and gave the woman a small smile when she nodded her head and pulled the envelop closer to herself, ignoring Souta's protests.
"Mom! We can't do this! InuYa-" Souta started only to have Tsubaki interrupt him.
"InuYasha has enough on his plate without having to worry about us." She snapped at him and took a deep breath to compose herself. "Souta, you have to understand that I'm trying to protect you." She told him, trying to explain to the furious boy what she was trying to do for him.
"I can take care of myself!" Souta yelled at her and dashed out of the room, slamming the sliding door shut with enough force that it bounced back as he raced out of the house.
"Souta! Come back!" Tsubaki called, getting up and racing past Hitomi as she chased after her son.
"Well that's done." Hitomi said calmly but her eyes looked sad as she let herself out of the house via the front door, leaving the brown envelop behind.

"You're awful quiet." A woman with strange hazel eyes and black hair said as I sat alone on the couch looking out at the tall buildings in different shades of grey. I ignored the woman, listening to her as she sighed in frustration from her spot in the only chair in the living room. "You can't just sit there. Do something. Run, yell, fight, something!" The woman snapped in my direction and I shifted slightly, looking away from the dull landscape and at the woman as she glared at me.
"Leave me alone." I said with a slight slur as I tried to give her my best glare. It had been quiet ever since everyone had left, Masaru was asleep in a make shift nest made out of the squishy chair Hitomi called a 'bean-bag' and didn't look as if he was going to wake up anytime soon.
"If I didn't know better I'd call you Sesshoumaru's pup." The woman said, making my eyes widen slightly at the familiar name.
"Sesshoumaru?" I asked and tried to keep the hope out of my voice, but failed since the strange woman smiled slightly.
"Yep, he's supposed to be meeting with those 'Spirit Detectives' down stairs." The woman said, saying the title with a shake of her head as she crossed her legs and brought them up into the seat next to her as she looked at me curiously. "I don't think I've properly introduced myself, I'm the Wind Sorceress Kagura, the mate of your Uncle." She said with a slight smirk as I starred at her blankly.
"And?" I asked with a grunt and moved my head away, using my arms as a pillow and shield to hide my smile as the woman huffed in disbelief. Last night had been miserable, it was the first time I had ever slept without Kagome next to me and it seemed my days as a captive liked to reminiscence every time I tried to fall asleep, leaving me more tired than anything.
"I'm such a baby. I can't take care of myself at all." I thought grumpily and let my eyes fall half way as I absently listened to the annoying buzz coming from Kagura.
"Ungrateful little snit! That buffoon InuYasha's had everything to do with your rudeness I see!" She snapped, seeming oblivious to the fact I wasn't really listening. It seemed like a second later when a familiar scent folded around me, making me jump up from where I had apparently dozed off.
"Here." A familiar voice said and I looked at a large, yet simple, brown jacket before looking up at a man with cold brown eyes, long black hair, and a stance that oozed 'Alpha'.
"Sesshy?" I asked half asleep again as I looked at the Japanese man and could have sworn I saw him smile slightly.
"Rest." He said and pushed me back down while deftly tucking the jacket around me, putting one of the sleeves right beneath my face so the scent of Kagome was right there. I was asleep before I even realized it.

"Five hundred years and you haven't lost your touch I see." Kagura said as she calmly pulled a bangle off to reveal her true form of red eyes, black hair, and fair skin as Sesshoumaru removed his own charm -which was a necklace- to reveal his demonic human form, minus the mokomoko, as well.
"Hn," Sesshoumaru hummed in response as he looked from her to the now peacefully sleeping girl. He was surprised she had managed to sleep at all, but at the same time he wasn't because of the fact that Ayame stayed with the girl all through the night. The wolf demoness had helped Akari whenever she woke up, which was several times all through the night. "Five hundred years and it seems you have." Sesshoumaru joked as he walked over to the bean bag nest with Masaru in it and lifted the boy up, wrapping him in a large blue scarf that had belonged to Kagome.
"Four hundred, reincarnation remember?" Kagura teased back as Sesshoumaru gently set the boy back down in his blankets, noting with satisfaction that both children seemed completely at ease now. "Do I want to know how you got your hands on Kagome's things?" She asked her mate as she leaned against him and looked at the two children.
"Hitomi." Sesshoumaru said calmly and Kagura nodded.
"Of course, the little storm sprite did go to the Shrine earlier. Is she still upset with you?" Kagura asked and Sesshoumaru hummed again while motioning to the clear day outside. "Guess not then. Why don't you go check on the reports about the search on Kagome and I'll keep an eye on these two? I know one of them won't be up for a long while." Kagura told the tall diayokia and gave him a quick kiss, knowing he was determined to find the Priestess and his brother even if he himself wouldn't admit it.
"Kouga has his tribe out looking, with orders to report to you if they find anything, and King Koenma sent a messenger named Botan earlier with a lead for us. Check the area around Kyoto, Botan said they detected a release of Spiritual Power there that seemed to be Kagome's." Kagura told her husband and smiled softly as he put his concealment charm back on before walking to the elevator to leave. "Be careful." She whispered and was rewarded with a soft look from Sesshoumaru as he walked into the elevator.

A/N
~Dark~ Yeah, I brought Kagura back. I really didn't like that she died so I kind of had her reincarnate as herself with all her memories in tack. For those of you who haven't figured it out yet, Hitomi is a Storm Demon as in she can control the weather but only when her emotions get the best of her.
~Akari~ Before Baka gives everything away leave a review with any questions, criticism, or whatever because she doesn't own InuYasha, just a the OC's...wait...YOU DON'T OWN ME YOU FAT BAKA! *Drops script and runs after a laughing Dark*
