Chapter Thirty Nine
It was sunrise when Sesshomaru, Rin, Saige, Inuyasha, and Kenzou arrive back to the hut. Inside, everyone was awake when they walked in.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken exclaimed, happy to see his master return. He immediately rushes over to Sesshomaru.
"Inuyasha," Kagome looked up. "Where have you been and what have you..." she paused when her eyes landed on the person next to Inuyasha. The first thing she notices was the dog ears and the sliver hair. "Inuyasha, what's going on?" she confusedly asked.
"Kenzou!" Kiyomi exclaims. "You're here!" She rushes up and hugs him.
"Kiyomi, how do you feel?" Kenzou asked, relieves to see Kiyomi all better.
"I'm all better," she beamed.
"Kenzou?" Sango, Kohaku, Shippo and Miroku asked in unison. They were both surprised to see Inuyasha return back with a hanyou that looks like him.
"Inuyasha, is there something you like to tell us?" Miroku asked.
Inuyasha scoffs and folds his arms. "It's not what you think..."
"Don't tell me that boy is your son from the future," Kagome said, sounding a little bit upset and confused.
"Yes, I'm his son," Kenzou confirms it. "And before you try to figure out who my mother is, I might as well let you know before this becomes a misunderstanding".
A hand touches his shoulder and he turns to see it was Saige. "Oh, you don't have to tell them, let it be a misunderstanding. I want to see how it turns out," she taunted, earning a glare from Inuyasha and Kenzou.
Kenzou scoffs. "Not funny Saige". He said as Rin chuckles while Sesshomaru smirks at Saige. "Now if you don't mind, I want to talk to them". He turns back to facing Kagome and the others. "I'm Kenzou, the son of Inuyasha and Kagome".
Shippo, Miroku, Sango eyes widen in shock.
"Hn, I knew it," Sesshomaru thought as he watches the reaction of everyone in the room.
"You're my son?" Kagome asked again as she approaches up to the young hanyou.
Kenzou nods. He was expecting that she was freak out and back away from him, but to his surprise, she pulled him in her embrace.
"Wow, he looks like Inuyasha," Sango whispers to Miroku.
"He does," Miroku agreed.
Kenzou was shock that his mother was hugging. The last thing, he remembers hugging his mother was when she has leave into battle with father and left him to protect Kiyomi. Without thinking, he hugged her back and buried his face in her chest. Soon, Kiyomi was hugging Kagome's leg.
Saige, who was watching, turns away. It reminded her of her mother even though her mother in the past was still alive. It was just not the same because her mother was already gone in the future. She was about to leave when felt someone was watching her. She turns to see her father staring at her giving her "We need to talk outside" look. She responds back with a nod and then left outside with him following right behind her.
Inuyasha, who was watching Kagome and their future kids, can't help but wonder if he and Kagome survive or even the others. Judging from what Kenzou said to earlier, the others didn't make it. He hates to know about it and has to decide if he should tell the others about it.

Outside the Hut, Sesshomaru and Saige was standing near the forest away from the hut.
"You're hiding something," Sesshomaru said out in the opening. Saige turns around and looked at him.
"And you want me to tell you about, am I right?"
"Exactly," Sesshomaru replied.
Knowing that there no way she can lie to her own father, she decides to tell him.
"I made my decision, I'm going to save Kiyomi whether you and mo... Rin agree or not," she confessed. "Another one is this," she extends her arm out, showing the wrist without the bracelet. "My demonic power is release".
Sesshomaru stares at Saige's wrist and then at Saige. "Do you think you can control that much power being release?" he questioned.
Saige pull her arm back and sneer. "Hn," she turns her back on him. "I can control my demonic power," she told him as if she has no problem with her demonic power being release.

Cobramaru was at the castle. Now, he was in room sitting, with a jar in front. He mutters something when the jar glows and disappears. Right in it place, a demon was standing.
"Welcome back," Cobramaru smirked. "Rena".
Rena looked up at Cobramaru showing her gold eyes. She was wearing a violet red kimono with black tight pant. Around her waist were her sword and a harmonica. Her long white hair was tied up into a ponytail. There four red strips on her cheeks. Her expression was angry and full of hatred.
"So, what are you planning to do now that I revive you back?" Cobramaru questioned.
Rena swiftly yank her sword out from it sheath, aiming near at Cobramaru.
"Listen, you bastard!" she snarls. "I don't obey no one including you, got that!"
"Hm, angry are we?" asked Cobramaru who show no fear on face. He still remains where he was. "If though you don't tell me, I already know you are going after Saige because she was the one that killed you, am I right?"
Rena growls. "Shut up! Say it again and I'm going to slit your throat!" She threats.
"I see that I hit your ego," Cobramaru grins, lift his hand up and move the sword away from him. He got up and walked up to Rena. "I tell you what, I want stopped you from go after Saige, but I would like you help me". He held his hand up when he notice Rena glares at him. "That wasn't an order; it's more like a favor".
"I'm listening," said Rena who put her sword away in it sheath.
"When you do run into Saige, I want you to kidnap someone and bring it to me".
"Let me guess," Rena folds her arms. "Kiyomi"
"Exactly," Cobramaru walked around Rena. "What do you say?"
"We'll see," Rena turns and walked away. As she was leaving out the door, she spokes. "By the way, I don't like to do any favor for anyone at all".
With that being said, Rena left without turning back. A solider enters and walked over to Cobramaru.
"Are you going let Rena leaves just like that?" he asked.
"Of course not," Cobramaru smirks. "Get some of your men to keep an eye on her. She is one tough and stubborn demon".
"Yes sir," The solider nods and left out the room.

After few minutes of hugging, Kenzou pulled away from his mother and turn to everyone in the room. "I know everyone is wondering why I'm here". Inuyasha gestures him to continue as Rin quietly left outside. "I came here to help Saige killed Cobramaru." He explained. "He's planning to resurrect himself in this time sooner than you think. He has already located his resting place. All he need is power enough to resurrect him".
"Meaning that he would go after Kiyomi, especially when he figures out that he got the fake Kiyomi". Inuyasha assumed.
"We need to stop him," Kagome says as she pulled Kiyomi close to her side. "I can't risk letting Kiyomi get capture by Cobramaru.
"That was what she said before I came here," Kenzou said, remembering what his mother told him before he traveled her.
"What did I say?" Kagome asked.
"Well, you and da... I mean Inuyasha were badly injury and were hiding in cave with a protect barrier, which was created by you". Kenzou explained. "You told me before I go to protect Kiyomi and don't let her get into Cobramaru's hand".
"That does sound like what I would say," Kagome nods.
Inuyasha glances at Kenzou and senses that he was hiding something that he didn't said. He decides to question about later because he didn't want Kagome to hear it because he haven't told her that Kiyomi might not survive.

"You know I won't let you go through with this," Sesshomaru said, referring to Saige saving Kiyomi.
"Its mine decision, not yours," Saige turns around and looked at Sesshomaru.
"You do realize that Cobramaru is after Kiyomi and having her alive is probably what he wants".
"No, having Kiyomi dead is what Cobramaru want in order to gain her power for his own," Saige corrects Sesshomaru. "And that is something that I won't allow".
Sesshomaru angry grabs her wrist. "I'm telling not to go through with this and that is an order from me as your father".
Saige yanks her wrist out of Sesshomaru's grip causing it to bleed. "You can't tell me what to do because you're not my father even though you are him in the past". She spats.
Sesshomaru was angry and hurt at Saige words that he turns around and walked toward the hut. Knowing what her father was up to, she zoom fast and appears in front of him, blocking his way.
"I won't let you," She glares at him for a few second before vanish and replaces with a calm expression. "It you really care for me then let me make my decision and trust me on this. I really need you to trust me".
Saige saw Sesshomaru's hand went up. She assumes that he would push her out of way when surprisingly he pulled her against his chest, embracing her. Saige was surprise by her father action and without thinking she hugs him back.
"As much I dislike your decision, I won't stop you from doing it," He finally said after a minute of silent.
"Thank you," she muttered. Normally, when a father hugs his child who has been through a lot, that child would cry. For Saige it was difficult because she was unable to shed tears, but does feel pain inside. She has missed her father comfort and hug.

Rin who just came out from hut saw the scene of Sesshomaru hugging Saige. Seeing that bring a smile to her face. She never saw Sesshomaru care so much about Saige. It actually shows him as father caring for his daughter. She remains standing where she was, not wanting to interrupt their father and daughter moment.

Outside the castle, Viper was walking away from the castle after couple minute of deciding that he will not return to the castle when he saw Rena walked passed without even glancing at him.
"Rena? She's alive?" He thought "She must be after Saige, which mean Cobramaru must have asked her to kidnap Inuyasha and Kagome's daughter".
TBC: Uh Oh Saige is trouble especially when her rival is back for revenge. Just to be clear, Rena indeed was killed by Saige. Look likes Viper is changing side.
I have to say I love Sesshomaru and Saige, father and daughter moment. I admit that Sesshomaru angry was out of concern for Saige. I'm not entirely making Sesshomaru into softly. I want to show his caring for Saige because Saige need it.
For Rena, as you can see, she doesn't like to obey anyone. So I'm sure she doesn't like Cobramaru. That's was for sure. Right now on her mind is her revenge on Saige.
Question: Do you actually think Rena would kidnap Kiyomi.
Enough of me talking, please review and tell me what you think.
