Disclaimer: I was recently made God, and so I took InuYasha for my own. But then people claimed I was abusing my power, and they kicked me out. So Rumiko Takahashi still owns InuYasha.

This chapter is dedicated to Kathryn J. Blair, who was undutifully wronged by my bitch of a sister who sent a very nasty and undeserved e-mail to her in my name. She deserves this chapter, as it is the only thing I can think of to make up for giving my sister my password. I can only hope that she will forgive me.

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECIEVE

Once again, Kagome found herself in Tokyo Conservational Park, sitting on a park bench beside Ao. Christmas had come and gone, and they were now in the middle of January. And she now sat beside Ao, watching one of her friend's grandchildren played in the largest playground in Tokyo Conservational Park. And contrary to what one would expect, Kagome was having more fun than she'd had in a while, thanks to the little girl that was driving Ao up a wall.

"Miyoko, if you take one more step, you're grounded!" Ao shouted. Kagome nearly laughed out loud when the little girl Ao had called to just giggled and turned away from her grandmother. "Don't you ignore me, Miyoko!"

The little girl stepped forward, and ran directly into a very familiar old man in a black suit. "Miyoko."

"Yes, grandpa!" Miyoko shouted before running back into the playground. Kin let out a rare smile, and crossed the playground to both his wife and Kagome. He took his usual place beside his wife and greeted her with a small peck on the cheek.

"I'm not talking to you." Ao announced.

Kin raised an eyebrow in question, and Kagome laughed. "I think she's miffed about the fact that she's been trying to get Miyoko to calm down all this time. You come in and say her name, and she goes right back to where she belongs."

"It is a simple matter of respect." Kin answered.

Ao glared, and Kagome laughed out loud at her. "Aw, poor Ao. Nobody appreciates you."

"Only you understand me!" Ao cried. The two women embraced for a moment, until Ao broke away suddenly. "Miyoko, don't you dare eat that!" She glared at Kin. "Do something!"

Kin smirked. "Are you sure? You were angry the last time I interfered." Ao gave a very convincing imitation of a growl, and Kin sighed. Slowly, pulled himself off the park bench and went over to speak to their granddaughter.

Ao crossed her arms. "I swear, that child just likes to see me yell." She leaned back against the bench and sighed. "I hope my granddaughter is not bothering you."

"Not at all." Kagome assured her. "She's just too cute." Seeing the exasperated, yet loving, look on Ao's face, she let out another laugh. "But then again, I guess I don't need to live with her, do I?"

"Neither do I really." Ao answered with a sigh. "And I really do adore her. But so help me, sometimes I just want to strangle her. She's exactly like her mother was at her age." She turned back to her granddaughter, then grinned. "Miyoko! Don't you want grandpa to carry you on his shoulders?"

"Won't that be too much for him?" Kagome asked.

"If it is, he won't do it." Ao answered. "If not, then he'll have a very happy granddaughter on his hands. Either way, he wins."

Kagome watched, and to her surprise, Kin did indeed lift the delighted girl off the ground and deposited her on his shoulders. "You know, I'm just realizing this now." Kagome said, blinking at the thought. "But he always does whatever you ask him to."

Ao laughed, a small smile crossing his face. "Oh, not all the time, believe me. But yes, most of the time if I ask him to do something, he'll do it."

"I don't mean to sound rude, but I was wondering how you got him to do that." Kagome commented. If Ao could share the secret to getting Kin to listen, maybe she could put it to work with InuYasha. To be perfectly honest, she was getting tired of her half demon love. Kikyo had tried to kill her, again, and once again, InuYasha had refused to listen to her for even a moment. Sometimes she wanted to beat him over the head until he lay at her feet whimpering in submission. But she just didn't have it in her to try it.

Ao thought about it for a moment, then turned to Kagome. "You know, I really have no idea. It's just something he started. He's been doing it for years, and I never really figured out why. I thought, if he wanted to listen to me, then that was his prerogative." Ao thought about it for a moment longer, then shook her head. "Kin! It's getting a little late! Kamiya is expecting Miyoko home in an hour!"

"I don't wanna go!" Miyoko screamed. Kin carefully lifted Miyoko off his shoulders, and said something to her softly. Miyoko lowered her head and nodded before running over to her grandmother. "Sorry." The little girl whispered.

Ao smiled, an almost glowing sight. She gently lifted her granddaughter from the ground and hugged her. "I know, sweetheart." A familiar twinkle entered her eyes as she stood, placing her granddaughter on her hip. "How about we get some ice cream before we go back, okay?"

"Okay!" Ao laughed as she carted away her granddaughter, forgetting about the girl beside her on the bench. Luckily for Kagome, Kin was not so inattentive.

"I apologize for my wife." Kin said. "She is a bit too attached to her grandchildren."

"I can understand it." Kagome assured him. "I'm not offended in the least. Miyoko is too adorable not to get caught up in." Kagome eyed Kin for a moment, but was jolted out of it when Kin caught her stared at him.

"Does something about me interest you, Kagome?" He asked.

Kagome blushed. "Oh, it's nothing really. Ignore me."

Kin shook his head. "What is wrong?"

"Well-" Kagome started, but was interrupted by Kin's cell phone.

"Please excuse me." Kin apologized. He opened the phone and brought it to his ear. "Yes?" He listened a moment, then frowned slightly. "Really? Ten crates of hot chocolate? I'm sure Miyoko wants it." He listened a moment longer, then shook his head. "Perhaps if you were being honest, I would listen." Another pause, and Kin sighed. "Alright. You can tell 'Miyoko' that we may pick up hot chocolate before we bring her home." He hung up the phone with a shake of his head, then turned back to Kagome. "You were saying."

"Actually, that was kind of what I was curious about." Kagome said. "Every time Ao asks you to do something, you do it. Even if you do have a few comments, you always do what she asks. And I hope you'll forgive me saying so, but you really don't seem the type to just roll over and let people walk all over you."

Kin nodded. "You would be correct in that assessment, Kagome. And the answer is not elaborate as you would think. I listen to her because she is my wife."

"Oh." Kagome said. She was kind of disappointed, actually. Normally, when she broached these kinds of subjects with one of the couple, they had some deep philosophical thing to say. To be honest, it was a bit of a letdown. "Well, that's good to know."

Kin stared at her for a moment longer, then sighed. "Ao is. . . important to me. There is nothing, nowhere, and no one that I treasure more than her. In the beginning, she was the first person to show me kindness in a very long time. Then when we were joined, she was forced to face a lot of opposition to our union, and all of it because of fools who did not believe her worthy of me. Not only has she far surpassed any expectations anyone might have had, but she has never once blamed me for her troubles. She has stayed with me where others would have given up. For that, there is nothing I will ever be able to do to even the scales. For me to give her what she wants when I can is all I am capable of doing to repay her for that kindness."

Kagome looked at Kin for a moment, then lunged forward to embrace the older man. For a moment, she was confused by the feel of muscles under his suit, but then she remembered why she was hugging him. "I don't think Ao shares your view." She whispered softly.

"I do not expect her to." Kin answered as he tentatively wrapped an arm around the hormonal young woman. "Which is why she will never know." He glared at her as she released him, making sure to impress the seriousness of the situation upon her.

"My lips are sealed." Kagome announced. "I will never tell!"

Kin looked at her, almost doubtfully, as Ao and Miyoko returned. "Ms. Kagome!" Miyoko shouted. She ran up to Kagome, who laughingly picked her up and swung her around.

"Did you have fun with your grandmother?" Kagome asked.

"Yup!" Miyoko shouted. "We gots hot chocolate!"

Kagome looked over at Ao, who laughed unashamedly and held up a small box. "We are going to share it before she goes home. Would you like to join us, Kagome?"

Kagome smiled sadly. "Unfortunately, I'm meeting a friend of mine pretty soon. He gets crabby when I don't show up on time."

"Did you say he?" Ao asked excitedly. "This wouldn't happen to be your boyfriend, would he?"

Kagome sighed. "I wish. He's too hung up over his ex." She was silent for a moment, then looked up at her two friends with a smile. "Who knows. Maybe one day, I'll be able to make him see past our resemblance and see me instead of Kikyo."

Ao looked at her sadly before reaching over and pulling the younger woman into a bone-crushing hug. "It will work itself out." Ao whispered. "I promise."

Kagome just hugged her back before releasing her. "I really do have to go. I'll see you soon." On impulse, she reached over and pulled Kin into a hug as well. "Ao is lucky to have you." She whispered quickly. Then she turned to Miyoko before Kin could respond. "It was very nice to meet you, young lady. I hope I meet you again very soon."

"Bye-bye grandma!" Miyoko shouted before tackling Kagome's legs. Kagome just laughed, missing the way that Kin and Ao tensed.

"I'm not sure whether to be insulted or not." Kagome said as she returned the hug. "But I'll miss you too."

A few minutes later, Kagome and Sesshoumaru of the future were alone with their granddaughter. Kagome squatted so that she was at the same height as Miyoko. "Miyoko, why did you call Kagome your grandmother?" She asked carefully. None of their family knew of their meetings with Kagome, or even of the girl's existence.

"Because she's like you grandma!" Miyoko announced. "She's really nice, and she's bright, just like you!"

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened as his granddaughter spoke. "She is. . . bright?"

Miyoko nodded. "She glows, just like grandma." She looked up at Kagome with a smile. "Can I have hot chocolate now?"

Kagome shook herself. "Of course, dear." Kagome handed the little her cup of hot chocolate, and then watched the little girl returned to the park with the cup. "From the mouth of babes." She murmured.

"It would appear that Miyoko has more demon in her than we had at first believed." Sesshoumaru answered. "We will have to watch her carefully."

Kagome looked over at Sesshoumaru, then looped her hand with his. "So, did you and I have a good talk?"

Sesshoumaru smiled slightly. "It was. . . interesting."

Kagome glared at him. "You're not going to give me any details, are you?"

Sesshoumaru chuckled and pulled his wife into his side before nuzzling the crook of her neck. "Not at all."

Kagome stared in shock at the demon in front of them. Why would so many demons be surrounding that hut? Why did she sense Kohaku's jewel shard emanating from the hut? As she thought about this the demons began to move. Kagome grabbed Shippou and held him close, though she knew her embrace would do little to help if Miroku and Sango failed. Where the heck is InuYasha!

"Here comes the demons." Miroku said, as he settled into a fighting pose.

Sango growled and jumped forward. "Hiraikotsu!" She flung forward hiraikotsu, destroying several demons in one throw.

Miroku expertly swung his staff, taking out a demon at a time as they sprang at him. He noticed how though several came forward, even more stayed close by the hut. "Now I understand. They don't want us to get near that house." Another demon attacked, and Miroku was pulled back into fighting.

Kagome stayed towards the back and out of harm's way with Shippou. Because of this, it was easy for her to notice one particular demon that was rising up from behind the hut with two children on its back: Kohaku and Rin. Over there. It is Kohaku. And he's with Rin.

"Kohaku!" Kagome turned to see that Sango had noticed Kohaku's departure. Kirara came to her side, and Sango quickly happed on. But as they went after Kohaku, the pair was swarmed by demons. "Damn you! Out of my way!" She swung the hiraikotsu once again, taking care of the demons in immediate vicinity of her and Kirara.

Kagome stood. "Let's follow her!" She knew that Kohaku's state as an unknowing pawn of Naraku hurt Sango deeply. She didn't know what her adoptive sister would do if she met up with Kohaku alone.

"Kagome, look!" Shippou shouted suddenly. Kagome looked to where Shippou pointed and started to see two demons rushing at her. She gasped and closed her eyes, sending up a silent prayer. Please. . .

"Iron Reaper Soul Stealer!"

Kagome could have wept as she watched InuYasha easily tear the two demons apart with his attack. "InuYasha." She breathed as she fell to the ground in relief. His name was the mantra that often kept her safe, and it had apparently worked once again.

"Kagome." She looked up from where she sat on the ground. "Kohaku was here, wasn't he?"

Since he already knew, she didn't waste time affirming it. "You can probably catch up to him. I can sense the sacred jewel shard nearby."

"InuYasha!" The two of them turned to see Sango still battling. Her voice was pleading, and the look in her eyes spoke for her.

InuYasha nodded and pulled Kagome up onto his back. "I'm going ahead. We don't have any time to lose." He started running. Please, kami. Kagome thought. Keep them safe. Please.

InuYasha kept running, and so Kagome decided to update him on what was going on. "Kohaku's mind is being controlled by Narkau."

"Yeah." InuYasha answered. "And he's probably planted a suggestion in his head. To kill the hostage."

"He's going to kill Rin!" Kagome shrieked.

"Is that who Naraku took!" InuYasha shouted. "Shit, we have to move it. No wonder Sesshoumaru was pissed!"

"Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked. She was completely and utterly confused now. "InuYasha, what are you talking about?"

"Naraku had the girl abducted so he could buy himself some time to escape from Sesshoumaru." InuYasha answered. "And there's no way he's going to let Kohaku live. Not after what Naraku did. Sesshoumaru will kill the kid for sure." InuYasha growled. "It's going to be a lousy finish, no matter how this ends."

Kagome could feel the panic welling up in her. She knew that InuYasha spoke the absolute truth. He cared for Rin, despite his views on mortals. "We have to get to Kohaku before Sesshoumaru finds him."

"Yeah." InuYasha answered. "And the only one who can stop Sesshoumaru is me."

Sesshoumaru ran as fast as he could, tracking Rin's scent. He growled. He was foolish for leaving her alone. He was foolish for allowing his anger to get the best of him instead of going after Rin. He was foolish for placing the extermination of Narkau above Rin's she died because of his foolishness. . .

Sesshoumaru ran past the outline of trees, and froze in shock. A young boy stood over his Rin, a sickle raised above him. He brought it down, only to stop as he recognized Sesshoumaru's presence behind him. Sesshoumaru barely held back a growl. While he knew Rin was neither dead nor bleeding, she had been hurt. The psychotic child would pay for daring to harm his ward.

The boy slowly turned, lowering his weapon slightly as he did so. Then he stood and turned to face him completely, taking a battle stance that Sesshoumaru recognized. It was one passed down in a slayer clan that lay to the East. How interesting. Sesshoumaru thought. A slayer aiding a hanyou. What is the world coming to?

The boy took a step forward, and Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed. He raised a hand, two fingers raised in preparation for his poison whip. "You turn your blade towards me?"

The boy's only response was to raise his weapon, now completely in a fighting position. Sesshoumaru waited for the boy to strike so that he could adequately judge the boy's skill. He would die that night, of that there was no doubt.

"Kohaku!" A familiar red figure suddenly shot forward and plowed a fist into the boy's face. The boy flew a few feet then landed with an oomph and a bit of moaning. A bit to Sesshoumaru's surprise, InuYasha began to lecture the boy. "What are you doing, you fool?"

Sesshoumaru heard someone panting, and he turned slightly, expecting another enemy. Instead, Kagome raced towards Rin. Sesshoumaru could smell the panic in her scent as she knelt down next to his ward. Ignoring everyone else, the miko gently lifted Rin off the ground, carefully supporting her neck and head. A brief moment later, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked up with a smile. "She's alright. She's just unconscious, that's all."

Sesshoumaru let no outward signs of his relief show. But he did loosen a miniscule amount from his previously tense anger. He was surprised, however, to hear InuYasha breathe a sigh of relief. "We made it in time." The hanyou turned to Sesshoumaru, his voice louder now. "You heard her, the girl's not hurt. So let the boy go free."

Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. Surely the hanyou was not that stupid. He would not allow Naraku's minion to get away with damaging his ward, no matter how miniscule the damage. "Stay out of this, InuYasha. It's useless to try and interfere." Sesshoumaru watched as the boy rose from behind InuYasha. "This boy seems compelled to die by my hands."

InuYasha turned to stare at the boy, unknowingly releasing a growl. This must be a part of Naraku's plan. He's using Kohaku to attack Sesshoumaru so that Kohaku will die, and Naraku can take his jewel shard.

Kohaku threw his sickle, aiming for Sesshoumaru. InuYasha dashed forward and pulled out Tetsusaiga. He quickly used it to knock the blade aside, disarming Kohaku. He thought that would be the end of it, but he had underestimated Sesshoumaru's desire for revenge. In the blink of an eye, Kohaku was lifted off the ground by a white clad figure in his favorite hold. Sesshoumaru kept his hold on the boy's throat just loose enough to allow for breath, but not much else.

Sesshoumaru smirked, and couldn't resist a slight taunt towards his brother. "How generous of you, disarming the boy for me. I had no idea you held such strong feelings for me, InuYasha."

InuYasha reacted predictably, raising the transformed Tetsusaiga. "Let's get one thing straight, Sesshoumaru. I'll kill you if you don't let him go." As he spoke, he leveled Tetsusaiga at Sesshoumaru's brat. One wrong move, and InuYasha would gladly spear his brother on his blade.

Not liking the threat, Sesshoumaru casually tightened his grip. The boy's head tilted back as he struggled to breath, and Sesshoumaru continued to tighten his hold on Kohaku. "Set the boy down!" InuYasha ordered.

"Don't do it Sesshoumaru!" Sesshoumaru froze as he heard the miko's voice. "Please!"

Sesshoumaru stared at the boy. So the miko knew him as well, and did not want his death. Who was the boy to her? Her scent was nowhere on the boy, so there had been no recent contact with him. So why did she care so much?

It was then that he realized that even though his grip was tight enough to cut off all air, and was almost enough to draw blood, the boy remained limp in his arms. His eyes were glazed over, and he did not struggle as his victims usually did. Even the most calm broke when faced with their own deaths. And yet he showed no signs of suffering. It suddenly became clear why the miko cared so much. The boy had no will, whether it be to die or to live. He would not have hurt Rin of his own volition.

Slowly, Sesshoumaru loosened his grip and dropped Kohaku to the ground. He heard the gasps of shock around him, but ignored them. The sound he did pay attention to was the soft mumblings coming from his ward. He turned to see the girl rubbing her eyes, confusion written on her face.

"Oh, you're awake." Kagome exclaimed.

But Rin wasn't paying attention to the miko. She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was him. "Lord Sesshoumaru!" She shouted. The joy was obvious in her voice. But then she saw Kohaku at Sesshoumaru's feet, and a sad expression crossed her face. "What happened, Kohaku?"

Sesshoumaru supposed he shouldn't have been surprised. Rin had a way of warming up to anyone if she was shown even the smallest bit of kindness. He could show himself as evidence of that. What did surprise him was the flash of emotion he saw in the boy's eyes. Kohaku quickly grabbed his weapon before he stood and ran in the opposite direction of Rin. Sesshoumaru could smell Kagura's scent from that direction, and presumed the boy was rushing to her.

Rin sighed softly, before looking to see who was holding her. She let out a cry of joy when she recognized Kagome and quickly hugged her. The two sparked a conversation, and became lost to the world around them. Sesshoumaru would have rolled his eyes were he anyone else.

"Aren't you going after him?" InuYasha asked.

"I thought you did not wish the boy to die, half breed." Sesshoumaru taunted.

A moment later, they saw Kagura's feather rising up from behind the tree line, Kohaku just behind Kagura. "Kagura." InuYasha breathed. He understood his brother's actions now. Why go after him when he would just be taken beyond his grasp?

"Thank you." Sesshoumaru remained turned away, though he tensed at the miko's voice. "I know that you don't like to be thanked, but I really don't know what else to say. Thank you, Sesshoumaru. Thank you for letting Kohaku go."

Sesshoumaru felt something warm bubbling up in his chest. What was going on with him? Surely he was not happy that the miko had thanked him? He mentally growled at himself, and nodded at her thank you.

The action did not go unnoticed by InuYasha, who openly growled. "What are you playing at Sesshoumaru?"

"InuYasha." Kagome warned.

"What!" InuYasha protested. "You can't tell me you're not curious!"

"Yes, I am." Kagome answered, her eyes narrowing. "But Sesshoumaru is not held accountable to us. He doesn't need to validate his actions to us."

Sesshoumaru was once again surprised at the miko's intelligence. Looking at her, he saw the burning curiosity in her eyes. He almost chuckled at her, but instead answered her unasked question. "The boy was trying to die at my hands."

His answered made the bickering couple start. "You mean, you knew that?" InuYasha's shock was evident in his voice, and Sesshoumaru was mildly insulted.

Sesshoumaru turned slightly, intending to make some insult, but then he caught sight of the miko. The comment left him as he sighed. "It was Naraku's doing, and I refuse to play by his rules."

He was going to call Rin, but then he saw that she was still held in Kagome's arms. The sight looked. . . right. As if the two of them were made to fit together so well. He turned away, and felt a bit sad. If Rin wished to stay with the miko, he would not stop her. He began to walk, intending to leave the girl behind.

But then he heard a few soft good-byes and a giggle, which was soon followed by running footsteps. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Rin run up to stand beside him. She turned and waved to InuYasha. "Good-bye!"

InuYasha waited until the two of them were out of sight before he rounded on Kagome. "What's going on between you two?"

Kagome looked over at InuYasha, confusion decorating her face. "What, you mean Rin and me? She's a sweet girl, and I don't see the problem-"

"Not you and the girl." InuYasha growled. "You and Sesshoumaru." Kagome stared at him for a moment, then burst out laughing. InuYasha growled as his face heated. He hated being laughed at. "What the hell are you laughing at?"

Kagome shook her head. "You can't be serious. Me and Sesshoumaru? Don't be ridiculous."

InuYasha growled. "I am not being ridiculous. Now answer the question."

Kagome sighed. "I don't know, InuYasha. You've been right there every time I've seen him. He's just. . . Sesshoumaru."

InuYasha eyed her suspiciously. "You asked him to release Kohaku, and he listened."

Kagome blinked. "Well, yeah, I asked. But I doubt he listened to me."

"He answered why he let him go after you asked." InuYasha growled.

"I didn't ask him to tell us." Kagome countered. "I even told you not to."

"But you said you wanted to know." InuYasha growled. "And I know he was dying to make a comment about me when I asked about his answer. But the second he turned around, he stopped."

"You're reading way too much into this." Kagome answered dismissively. "We are, at the most, casual acquaintances."

"Damn it, I know what I saw, Kagome!" InuYasha shouted, grabbing her arm roughly.

"I know you know what you saw!" Kagome shouted back. "But you're misinterpreting it. What the hell do you think is between us?"

"Are you sneaking around with him?" InuYasha demanded.

"Oh kami, InuYasha!" Kagome jerked her arm out of InuYasha's. "If I was with Sesshoumaru, I wouldn't sneak behind your back!"

"I know what-"

"I'm not you, InuYasha!" Kagome shouted.

For a moment, InuYasha stared at Kagome in shock. "What are you saying?" InuYasha's voice had become dark, and Kagome nearly shivered from the coldness of it. His hand shot out and grabbed her arm in a painful grip. The intelligent part of her brain was warning her that she was dealing with a very angry hanyou and that it might be wise to back off a bit. But unfortunately, this part of her brain was overridden by the emotions she couldn't let go of.

"You know exactly what I'm saying, InuYasha." Kagome answered. "Now let go of me."

"Tell me the truth!" InuYasha demanded.

"I am telling me the truth!"

"Kikyo would have-"

"I AM NOT KIKYO!" Kagome screamed. With a hard jerk, Kagome pulled her arm away again. "I am not Kikyo." She repeated. "I have never been Kikyo. I will never be Kikyo. And gods help me, I never want to be Kikyo. So if you ever, and I mean ever, compare me to Kikyo again, you'll never get the chance to use that damn jewel."

"You're right. You're not Kikyo." InuYasha growled. "Kikyo was ten times the woman you could ever be. And she was kinder too!"

"Yes. So kamis' damned kind that she sealed you to a tree for fifty years and now wants to drag you to he-" Kagome didn't get to finish the statement. Before she could, something that very closely resembled InuYasha's hand slammed into her cheek. Then she was too busy falling to the ground, then gently touching her cheek. InuYasha's hand was still held out, and he stared at it in shock.

"Kagome, I. . . I mean. . . I didn't. . ."

Kagome slowly stood, blinking tears from her eyes. "Don't even try." She whispered. "You cannot make up for what you just did."

She wasn't even sure where she was running to. All she knew was that she had to go home, and quickly.
