Summary: Inuyasha goes to the Hojo seeking protection for Kagome and Kibou.
"How could he go there? I do not care if they call themselves the Go-Hojo instead of the Hojo,
they are still the same. If he needs protection for Kagome and Kibou, I would be more than
willing to protect them "
Sesshoumaru was amused. He had insisted on delivering this news personally to his mother. It
was fun to watch her squirm.
" He went to them seeking protection for his wife and child. He does not know what you did to
the Hojo. What would your "little one" think if he knew that you personally financed the
Emperor's campaign to destroy the family who took in their granddaughter because you wanted
revenge against the woman who had taken your mate from you and led him to his death? Do you
think that he would forgive the woman who caused so much pain to himself and his mother?
Maybe I should tell him and wait for his reaction."
She paled. She loved Inuyasha as a son and more. Would their two hundred years together
survive such a revelation? Somehow she would have to tell him. She could not let Sesshoumaru
use this against her. The blackmail would never end. She would have to go to him and tell him
the truth and try to pick up the pieces of whatever relationship was left.
Inuyasha was ushered into the presence of Hojo Ujiyashu at his court at Oduwara. He had never
seen such splendor among humans.
"Well-met cousin. It is my honor to greet you. What can I do for you?"
" You know me?"
"Everyone knows the hanyou that conquered Naraku. You are famous from Hokkaido to Kyushu.
You saved Japan from a brutal monster. We are proud that you are a Hojo."
Inuyasha was taken aback. It had never occurred to him that anyone knew about Naraku outside
of his circle of friends. He was not interested in fame. The original purpose of his quest had been
becoming a great demon. Only later did it become about personal revenge against Naraku for
what he had done to Kikyou. The ultimate purpose t had been the destruction off the Jewel
" Bandits have been raiding the villages around Edo castle. I have come to see if I could obtain
protection for those villages. My wife and child live there. I need to do something to protect them
from harm.
"What did you have in mind?"
"Could you extend the patrols out from Edo castles to cover those villages and allow my wife
and child to stay in Edo castles when I am gone?"
"And what you offer in return for this favor?"
" I would keep the lands around Edo castle free of youkai."
"Why could you not be our Champion? The Hojo would be invincible with you leading us."
" My sword is for the protection of humanity. It would not permit itself to be used to kill
humans."
The daiymo seemed to be considering his offer. An advisor leaned over and whispered
something in his ear. He blanched. His face became grim as he stared at Inuyasha.
" We refuse all of your requests. Never come before us again. We made a mistake in protecting
you once. We will not repeat that mistake."
Inuyasha was shocked. These were his blood. His mother had told him that they would take him
in if he went to them.
"May I ask why?"
"Ask the Lady of the West."
He sat in Goshinboku with Kagome Kibou was with Sango. They needed to talk.
"Where were you today?"
" I went to see the Hojo about extending their patrols out from Edo castle to protect the village.
I ask them if you and Kibou could stay there during times when I was not here."
" Why would you do that?"
"Because I do not want to risk you being injured again. When I saw you collapse I knew that I
never wanted to risk your safety or Kibou's safety again. Mother always told me that the Hojo
would help me if I really needed help. Apparently she was wrong."
" What did they say?"
" They refused."
"Did they tell you why?"
" They told me to ask the Lady of the West.":
Kagome leaned against him. " I could always go to the Western Shiro."
Inuyasha bristled at that suggestion " I want you by my side. Your promise to stay by my side has
been what has kept me going for the past eight years. I do not know what I would do without
you."
" I did not say that I was going to leave you. I just suggested that we go there while you are
gone."
" Sesshoumaru is very jealous of you. Every time you go there I am afraid that he will never let
you go. I could not live with that "
" I promised that I would stay by your side and I am never going to break that promise."
Inuyasha held her close. He would never let her go. Not now not ever. He had to find a way to
keep her from harm without handing her over to Sesshoumaru.
The Lady of the West drifted down to Goshinboku. It was the moment of truth.
"Inuyasha, I need to talk to you."
