Disclaimer: Sorry all. Still not mine.

A.N. Ok well random shit likes to mess up my life, so things are going to be strange for awhile. Plus I'll be starting a new Gravitation fic and continuing with the other. I think it's mostly random bullshit, but it'll be amusing. Perhaps after this Inuyasha fic is done I might either make a sequel to this if I can, or simply start a new one. I've abandoned all thoughts a crossover as it just won't work. Not like anyone cares so whatever.

Oh! One more thing. You'll notice in this chapter I've changed Sesshomaru's wife's name. The other one was bugging me. I've gone back and changed it all so yeah.

Inuyashangel Admit it! I know you want to!


Sesshomaru Takahashi paced back and forth in his study. He'd become rather impatient with his younger brother. Kagome Higurashi had to be found. Her testimony would be very important in this case against Hojo Yokoshimanakokoro. They needed her. And he knew what his brother wanted to do once this was all over. It was completely clear. He knew what the idiot had done, and he wanted to make it up to her.

The elder Takahashi brother sighed. He looked towards his desk as the phone rang. He lifted it and held it to his ear.

"Open the fucking gate!" came the voice of his all to annoying younger brother.

"Why?" he demanded.

"Because I have Kagome."

"Hmm." Sesshomaru hung up the phone and went around his desk and pushed a button. A thin plank of wood slid back and revealed a control panel. He pushed the button labeled 'gate' (I'm so original) and watched on a monitor as it opened. A black car sped through and he pushed it again to close the gate. "Idiot brother," he muttered as he left his study go meet his brother.

He found Kayou downstairs in the main hall. Apparently waiting. He joined her just as the front door opened to reveal his younger brother with Kagome in his arms. The young woman lifted her head, smiled weakly at Sesshomaru and fainted. Something bad had happened, and he'd find out what.

"Is Amiriya still safe?" Inuyasha asked as he approached them.

"Of course she is. We brought her here instead. I realized she'd be much safer here since very few people know about this house."

Inuyasha nodded. "Where can I take her?" he asked.

"East wing," Sesshomaru said. "Kayou, would you go with them?"

"Sure," she replied smiling.

Inuyasha noticed that his sister-in-law had died her hair bright red again. He didn't get why she did it, and frankly, he didn't care. It was her hair and she did what she pleased with it. Yet not once had he ever seen her die her hair like his or Sesshomaru's He knew there was die out there, but she refused to get it. The woman had gone through practically every single color. Including pink, blue, green and purple. She just never seemed happy with one color, but he supposed it didn't matter.

"So who took her?" Kayou asked suddenly as they walked.

"The people at Kagoyashi Industries."

"You're kidding!" she said looking at him.

"I wish I was. But it was them. And strangely, one of their guys helped me get her back even after only a day."

"Which one?"

"Bankotsu."

"You're kidding me! He really helped?"

"Yeah. He said it had something to do with what Kagome said or something I guess."

Kayou nodded. "As I understand it, she always had a way with words."

It was Inuyasha's turn to nod. "I remember when we were little she'd always get whatever she wanted by saying the simplest things. She has a gift for that. I think her daughter might get it from her."

"Trust me Inuyasha. She does. A few hours before you came, she and the boys came to me begging for a freshly baked cookies. I said no, but Amiriya said something and I gave in."

Inuyasha laughed. "A little clone of her mother. It's a good thing she doesn't look like that bastard though."

"I don't think the girl is actually his anyways," Kayou said.

Really?"

"Yeah. Haven't you ever really sat down with her and just talked? Usually children have traits of their parents in them, but she has nothing from him. Her personality, her looks. All different. I really don't think she's his."

"Oh wow," he said. "So why did you bring her here though?"

"Well for one, she's safer here. Not many people know about this place. And two, I thought she'd have a lot more fun having other children to play with. And I must say I was right. Since she got here she's been having the time of her life."

Inuyasha nodded. "That's good. What about my dogs and her cat?"

"Got them yesterday morning. I swear those two dogs of yours thought I was taking them to the damn vet they were so freaked."

Inuyasha laughed. "Well last time I took them somewhere it was to the vet."

Kayou grinned. "Ah! Here we are. You'll be staying in the room next to this one," she said opening a door. She stepped aside to allow Inuyasha to enter before her.

Inuyasha carefully set Kagome down on the bed and pulled the blankets up around her. He looked down at her sleeping face for a few moments before he turned away and left with Kayou. A young maid stood outside the door. She'd help the young lady when she awoke, Kayou had assured Inuyasha who nodded and followed her back to the main hall.

Amiriya, Shippo and Souta all running around a rather frustrated Sesshomaru. They apparently had something of his and wouldn't give it back. So he'd given up and glared at the wall as if it were its fault. They stopped Seeing Inuyasha and Kayou coming towards them. Smiling, Amiriya ran towards Inuyasha and leaped into his arms. Inuyasha smiled and hugged the girl. It was good to see her again. Her high spirits so reminded him of the Kagome he had loved as a child. She signaled she wanted down and Inuyasha set her down and they children went back to annoying the elder Takahashi.

Sesshomaru grabbed Shippo and lifted him. "See this is why I hate kids," he said teasing his son who laughed cheerfully at his father. Sesshomaru hugged the boy but refused to let him down. "One down two to go." Next he grabbed Souta and held the squirming child under his arm. "Two down. One to go. How will I pull this one off?" He shifted Souta to his other arm with Shippo and watched Amiriya before he reached down and grabbed the four year old who squealed and tried to break free. He smiled at the three children and turned to look at his wife and brother.

They were laughing. "See you don't hate kids!" Kayou said laughing as she moved to take her boys and Inuyasha took Amiriya.

"Yeah yeah yeah," Sesshomaru replied as he was handed back his stolen item from Amiriya. "Little brats," he teased.

Amiriya giggled. "Where's momma?" she asked Inuyasha.

"She's asleep," Kayou interrupted. "You can see her when she wakes up ok?"

The child nodded. Kayou set her boys down and Inuyasha set Amiriya down.

"Sesshomaru I need to talk to you about something," Kayou said to her husband. "Inuyasha would you watch them for awhile?"

Inuyasha nodded and Kayou and Sesshomaru went up to Sesshomaru's study.

Sesshomaru sat down behind his desk, and his wife sat across from him. "What is it?"

"It's about Kagome and Amiriya. You remember yesterday I took her to the hospital for check-up."

Sesshomaru nodded.

"Well I asked the doctor to do a DNA test on her. I've seen this strange look in Amiriya's eye sometimes, and I'm starting to think she isn't Hojo's. So in a few weeks we'll know for sure."

Sesshomaru nodded. "I understand Kayou. You're only doing what you think should be done.

Kayou nodded. "I just want to know for sure. Because if she isn't his, this can add something to the case."

Sesshomaru nodded it can ."We just have to make sure to tell no one about the test," he said.

"Of course," she said and left him to his work.


A.N. Yep there it is. Chapter 15. Oooh! Big secret. I wonder. If Hojo isn't her father like Kayou is suggesting, then who is? Guess you'll have to wait and see won't ya. :P Anyways. Please review. n-n

Ciao,
