Disclaimer: Don't own Inuyasha characters. The great and wonderful Rumiko Takahashi does though. -Bows-
I do own the characters I create myself though. Therefore you can't have them. >>

A.N. Ok thank you for the reviews first off. Second the suggestion of using Rin. If I had wanted to use Rin as his wife, I would have done so. I honestly don't know why you'd suggest a character already in the show when I asked for a suggestion. So please. Suggest a name not already in the show. It will be much appreciated and I'll thank you a bunch.

Pwalefriend- Both Rin and Kagura will be in here somewhere, they just won't be appearing the earlier chapters. And as for them fighting, they might eventually, but for now they're working together.

Yes I know it seems odd. Two people who completely hate each other working together. Kind of like a brother and sister thing except two brother's. Anyways, this chapter will resume the conversation and maybe more surprises are in store. n-n Now go read the chapter.

And as for the whole Hojo thing, I just really hate him and had to make him out to be the bad guy. Or else it just wouldn't have been any fun ya know?


Miroku started to respond, but then he heard Inuyasha phone ringing. Inuyasha picked up the phone and answered. "Hello?"

"Turn on the news," he heard his brother say and then hang up.

Inuyasha shrugged and grabbed the remote. He turned on the television and flipped to the news.

"...a body was discovered somewhere outside of Tokyo. Police have yet to identify the body, but we can be sure the body was female and around the age of about fifteen. They've released to use that she was not poisoned nor was she either shot or stabbed. Her death, as they explain it, was natural more or less. She may have experienced some complications with any difficulties she faced while missing. On a side note, the girl was found practically naked. What she was wearing could easily be described as rags as they were so torn beyond recognition, it was impossible to tell what she was even wearing. Several long vertical scars were also found on her back, possibly due to a lashing of some sort." The man reporting this paused briefly." This just in. The girl has been identified as one Yumika Hakomi. Age fifteen. This is all we have for now, and as more information is released to us, we'll report it all."

Inuyasha muted the television and leaned back against the wall nearest him.

"It was him," Kagome muttered. "It was Hojo," she growled. "I knew Yumika when I was still with Hojo. I knew her family. She was the sweetest girl in the world, but now she's gone. All because of that bastard." Kagome slumped back against the back of the couch and covered her face with her hands. Tears were rolling down the sides of her face in two steady streams.

"He will pay Kagome. I swear he will," Inuyasha growled. Now he and his brother had another reason to take down this bastard. They knew they would never really understand Hojo's motives, but they knew exactly what they had to do. Both Sango and Miroku would help, and Kagome would as well knowingly or unknowingly. Whichever she decided. But they all had one goal in mind right now. Remove Hojo from power and throw his ass in jail for good.

----------

Three days later, Inuyasha received another call from Sesshomaru. Apparently his brother and his wife were coming to see the boys and meet Kagome Higurashi. Of course he wouldn't tell Kagome this. She didn't need to know they were coming until they had arrived.

"So how much more have you gotten from her?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Not enough," Inuyasha replied. "She's been keeping to herself the entire time. She plays with the boys and all, but she won't talk to me, Sango or Miroku."

"Has she met Kouga?"

"No. He hasn't been by recently. And I haven't even seen him for six or seven days. I think his job is really keeping him on a tight leash right now. But maybe he can meet her soon. I know that the more friends she has that she can trust, the more she'll open up to me."

"Alright. Just make sure that it happens. We can't afford to screw up. Not now that he have so much to use against him. With the death of that young girl, the evidence just keeps piling up. We need to get rid of him soon. Before he figures out where Kagome is and what she's doing. Got that?"

"Yeah."

"And if something suddenly happens, get her out of there."

"Right."

"Good bye Inuyasha. We'll see you all in a few days."

"See ya, Sesshomaru," Inuyasha responded before he hung up.

Inuyasha sighed and turned on the radio. Kagome was outside with the kids, and he didn't want to go outside. It was too hot anyways. He turned the radio off suddenly when the doorbell rang. He rose to his feet and walked around the couch, then headed for the door. He opened the door and standing there was Kouga.

"Long time no see eh buddy?" Kouga smirked as he walked inside.

"How's Ayame?"

"She's doing fine. Couple days ago she went into labor, and gave birth to a healthy son," he grinned widely.

"Well I'm sure she's happy," Inuyasha replied.

"Oh yeah. First a daughter. Now a son. She's happy as can be, but the worst part is, she wants more kids," he grumbled as he threw himself down onto the couch.

"She wants more kids?" Inuyasha laughed.

"Six to be exact. She's hoping for three girls and three boys. I swear having two is more then enough, but I know she won't stop bugging me about it, and then she'll end up hating me if I don't give in. So either way it's a lose lose situation ya know?"

Inuyasha laughed and shook his head. "Rough times ahead for you my friend," he grinned.

"So where's this Kagome chick Sesshomaru told me about?"

"Outside with the boys and her daughter."

"Daughter? Oh yeah. Now I remember. Amiriya. Isn't she supposed to be like... almost an exact double of Kagome when she was little or something?"

"Yeah I think so. Because she really does look a lot like Kagome."

"So... Am I going to meet her or what? Otherwise I'll just leave."

"Yeah yeah. Hold on would ya." Inuyasha turned and headed for the back door. He opened it, stepped outside and closed the door behind him.

"Hey Kagome. Would you come here for a minute? I've got a friend who wants to meet you."

"Oh? Alright." Kagome looked at the three children. "You stay here okay? I'll be right back." She turned and followed Inuyasha inside the house.

"Kagome. This is Kouga Ookami."

"Hello Kagome. It is a pleasure to meet you," Kouga said with a smile as he rose and made a slight bow to her.

Kagome smiled and bowed slightly in return. "It is also a pleasure to meet you."

"I've heard much about you," Kouga said. "Inuyasha said the boys really like you."

"Well I suppose they do. They've been telling me that Inuyasha won't play with them."

"Oh?" Kouga looked at Inuyasha.

Inuyasaha shrugged. "I've been really busy. You know that Kouga. Especially with what we're doing."

"Yeah. But still. They are your nephews and you should be playing with them anyways."

"Yeah yeah yeah," he muttered.

Kouga grinned and looked at his watch. "Shit. I gotta split. I'll see you Saturday right?"

"Yeah."

"Good. See ya Kagome," Kouga said with a smile as he left.

----------

Later that night as Kagome slept seemingly soundly in her bed, the same recurring nightmare that had tormented her when she'd first split with Hojo, was back once more. It was a nightmare she just could not wake from. It pulled her so far down into its depths, that the only thing that could wake her was the sound of her daughter's sweet voice.


A.N. Whee! A cliffy for ya. x3 But anywho. I still need name suggestions and reviews are helpful people. o.O As I luff them very much ya know? But anyways. Name suggestions!
