[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

The small group sat around the kitchen table, deep in conversation on what had been going on in the hanyou’s absence and how the hanyou had managed to be in the future; well it was his present as well after all.

“It’s really quite simple actually,” InuYasha began to explain as Mrs. Higurashi gave him a blank look, still in shock at seeing the young man.

The two entered the house, the hanyou having his arms tightly wrapped around the young miko’s waist as she led him inside.

“Mom!” Kagome called to the young to the woman somewhere in the house, “I’m home!”

“And brought some friends I see,” The older woman added, eyes wide, staring at the hanyou who now held her tightly in his embrace and the not-so-small kitsune who now stood before her.

“Mom,” Kagome began, “This is Shippo, he’s my History teacher.”

“I see,” Mrs. Higurashi said, turning her deep brown gaze to the man whom held her daughter, “it’s good to see you InuYasha, or is it Commander these days?

The hanyou smiled, “Just InuYasha.”

The hanyou had to pause for a moment, releasing the young woman as something small collided with his back.

“InuYasha!” the boy shouted, reverting to his younger self, jumping on the older man’s back and gripping him tightly.

“Hey!” the hanyou yelled, reaching his arms around and getting a hold of the boy gripping him so tightly, “What do you think you’re doing?”

“I’m so glad you’re back!” The boy shouted in the hanyou’s ear.

“Oi, watch it kid,” InuYasha ordered.

“Sota, calm down and let go of InuYasha,” The boy’s mother told the young man.

The boy let go of his idle, standing off to the side he asked, “Where have you been?”

“I suppose we better explain from the start InuYasha,” Shippo offered.

“Might as well,” InuYasha agreed, moving to take a seat at the table he’d sat at so many times before.

The hanyou pondered for a moment, trying to figure out the right way to put this, “Well, after I sent Kagome home, I went to the tree of ages,” InuYasha began, “After that, I thought I smelled Naraku’s sent. I went to investigate when he appeared. The only thing I could think to do to get rid of that bastard for good was to wish him away.”

“I take it that didn’t go as planed,” Mrs. Higurashi commented.

“Not quite,” The hanyou agreed, a puzzled expression crossing his face, “How did you know?”

“Kagome told me little of what went on during your adventures, for good reason I imagine,” Mrs. Higurashi told the young man, “But when she told me of the Shikon Jewel’s origin I could understand better, having grown up on this shrine myself. The main and basic fact behind the myth of the jewel was that nothing good can ever come from it.”

“Exactly,” Shippo said, “Which is why InuYasha and I are in the military.”

“But what I don’t understand is why you two are in the military,” Kagome admitted, “I figured you wished Naraku away.”

“I did,” InuYasha said, his head down and tone serious, “I unknowingly wished him to this time.”

The humans in the room gasped, staring wide eyed at the hanyou.

“What do you mean?” Kagome questioned.

“I wished that no one in my world would ever be affected by Naraku’s influence again,” InuYasha explained, “And once my wish was made, Midoriko appeared and told me that I had sent Naraku to this time.”

“It was an accident, you had no clue Naraku was going to be sent here,” Kagome reasoned.

“She asked me if that is what I truly wanted,” InuYasha replied, his gaze locking with the young woman’s, “Now, when I look back on it I realize that she was warning me. She couldn’t interfere because of free will or something like that, but now I know she was trying to warn me not to use it.”

The older woman noticed the hanyou’s apparent turmoil and said, “Sota why don’t you go and do your homework and Kagome can take InuYasha upstairs to rest. Shippo why don’t you help me down here.”

“But mom,” Sota whined, wanting more than anything to spend time with his hero.

“I must agree,” Shippo replied, looking towards the younger boy, “I can help you if you want.”

“Okay,” Sota said, “Thanks.”

“Not a problem,” The kitsune answered, following the young boy into the next room.

“I’ll stay down here and start dinner,” Mrs. Higurashi said, turning from the group and began to pull ingredients from the refrigerator, “Kagome, you and InuYasha can go up to your room until dinner.”

“Okay mom,” Kagome replied, nodding her head. Taking the young man’s hand, the miko lead InuYasha upstairs and into her room.

“Shippo sure has grown hasn’t he?” Kagome questioned, trying to lighten the mood as she closed the door behind the two, entering the room.

“He has, hasn’t he,” InuYasha replied, the sullen look never leaving his amber eyes.

“It’s not your fault you know,” Kagome stated, crossing the room and sat on her bed, patting the spot next to her, offering it to the young man.

“It is Kagome,” InuYasha answered, taking the spot next to the young woman, “Had I not made that wish none of this would have happened.”

“If you hadn’t, would you have truly wanted to live up to this time?” The young woman asked, her gaze lowered to the floor, “Can you honestly say you wouldn’t have gone with Kikyou after you forced me to leave?”

“Is that what you thought I did?” InuYasha gasped, turning his head to face the young woman.

“What was I suppose to think?” Kagome admitted, “You left me for four years! No word from you, of course I figured you went with Kikyou.”


“The well wouldn’t open, I tried to get to you,” InuYasha said, “I would never go to Kikyou, you know that.”

“No InuYasha, I didn’t,” Kagome replied, her tone taking on a slight edge, “You’ve given me no reason to believe that you no longer wanted to go to Kikyou.”

Memories flooding the young woman’s mind, begging her to believe the young man beside her.

.:.:. Flash Back .:.:.

“I’m sorry about this Kagome, I truly am.” InuYasha apologized, stepping closer towards the miko, “I just don’t know what else to do.”

“What do you mean?” Kagome questioned, watching apprehensively as the hanyou closed what little space was between them.

“I want you to be safe.” He said, looking regretfully into the young woman’s face, “And I will do what I think is necessary to keep you out of harms way, even if I need to do it by force.”

Tears now began to pour down the young woman’s face, how could he do this?

“I will ask you once more, for your own good.” InuYasha said, “Will you give me the jewel and return home?”

“If you make me a promise.” Kagome said, her voice choked with sobs.

“What?” InuYasha asked, curious as to what the young woman would have him promise.

“Promise me that once you’re sure it’s safe, you’ll come back for me.” Kagome said, her body wracked with the sobs she freely showed, and those which she tried to contain.

The hanyou smiled, it wasn’t a smirk like he normally would give you, it was an honest to goodness smile. He leaned down so his face was barely touching the young woman’s. hesitating for the briefest of moments, the hanyou pressed his lips gently against hers, wrapping his protective arms securely around the woman’s small frame.

Kagome closed her eyes, melting into the man’s warm embrace. It was simply too welcoming for her to resist.

“I promise you Kagome.” InuYasha whispered in the woman’s ear, “That I will come for you once I’m sure everything’s safe. I will die before I brake that promise.”

.:.:. End of Flash Back .:.:.

On some level, she already knew the hanyou loved her, he’d shown it to her countless times. However, she needed him to tell her, tell her that it was her he wanted, not the undead priestess.

“I promised that I’d be back for you Kagome,” InuYasha explained, his amber eyes expressing how hurt he truly felt, “I fulfilled my promise to Kikyou. She now rests in peace and I will soon be able to avenge her. I cared about her yes, but love was something I no longer felt towards her.”

The miko listened to the hanyou, trying to detect any hint of a lie in his words.

“I believe you InuYasha,” She replied, “Though you can’t expect me to have trusted you completely.”

The hanyou nodded, “I can understand.”

The room was engulfed with an uncomfortable silence.

“So, what does your military organization do exactly?” Kagome questioned, trying to break the awkwardness between them.

“It’s the remaining demons from all over the world working together to defeat Naraku,” InuYasha explained, “That’s pretty much the gist of it.”

Kagome’s eyes lit up at his statement, “So does that mean that Ko…”

“Yes,” InuYasha interrupted, “The wolf works there too.”

“That’s good to hear,” Kagome said.

The hanyou eyed the woman, “How so?”

“He’s a friend InuYasha,” Kagome replied, “How would you think I’d feel if you told me he’d died.”

“If you were like me,” InuYasha answered, “You’d probably be happy.”

“InuYasha,” Kagome warned, punching his arm, though being a hanyou it did little damage.

“What?” The hanyou questioned, “You asked.”

“I can’t believe you,” Kagome sighed, falling back on to her bed.

“You’re strange,” InuYasha commented.

“I’m strange?” The miko inquired, her voice full of sarcasm, “Am I the one with fuzzy dog ears on the top of my head?”

“No..” InuYasha replied.

“Then I’m not strange then,” Kagome stated, sitting up and raised a hand towards the furry appendages, rubbing them gently, “Though they are so adorable.”

“They are not adorable,” The hanyou snapped.

“Sure they are,” Kagome argued, laughing at how defensive the hanyou had become, “You don’t have to be so sensitive.”

“Feh,” was the hanyou’s reply as he turned from the young woman slightly, allowing her to continue to rub the silver triangles atop his head.

“Konichiwa! Konichiwa!” Came the cartoon voice from the object in the Hanyou’s pocket, the small item vibrating slightly along with the voice.

“Who in the world?” InuYasha questioned, pulling the item from his back pocket, “Hello?”

“Brother,” Came the placid voice on the other end.

“What do you want?” InuYasha asked, noticing the puzzled look he was getting from the miko he mouthed, “Sesshomaru.”

“Oh,” Kagome replied and waited for the man to finish.

“I think you might want to come down to the base,” Sesshomaru continued, “We’ve found some people you might be interested in meeting, they seem to know you quite well.”

“Okay, I’ll be right there,” InuYasha answered, closing the phone and looked towards Kagome, “I got to go see who this is.”

“Can I come?” Kagome questioned excitedly.

“I suppose,” InuYasha answered, heading towards the bedroom door and opening it, the two heading down the stairs.

“Shippo we’re going to leave for a little bit,” Kagome informed as they neared the side door in the kitchen.

“Where are you two off to?” The kitsune questioned.

“Sesshomaru wanted to see me about something,” InuYasha answered, shrugging his shoulders, “Don’t know what about though.”

“All right,” Shippo replied, “Let me know when you get back though.”

“Will do,” the hanyou answered, the two leaving the house and headed towards the military base located at the edge of town.

----------------------------------------------

“Stop!” The young man shouted, he and his partner chasing after one of their suspects.

“Back off,” The young woman said, her hazel eyes narrowing as she pulled out her gun, aiming it at the man’s leg, she fired.

The bullet hit it’s mark, the man crumpling to the ground, pain shooting through his body due to the injury in his leg.

“Why the hell did you do that bitch?” The man seethed as the couple came closer.

“Because you refused to obey to police orders,” The woman replied, pulling out a pair of silver hand cuffs and placing them around the man’s wrists, “And besides, running makes you look guilty.”

“Are you going to call this one in or let him bleed to death?” The woman questioned, her hazel eyes locking with the man’s violet ones.

“Oh, yes of course,” The man replied, pulling the walkie talkie from his belt, pressing the side button he spoke into the small device, “This is officer 354, we have a suspect in custody. Force was required and an ambulance is needed.”

“Thank you officer 354,” Came the female voice of the dispatcher, “is there anything else?”

“Yes,” the officer replied, “Would you have my children?”

“No that is all thank you,” the young woman detaining the suspect answered, having pulled her own walkie talkie free.

“I don’t believe you Miroku,” The young woman said, shaking her head.

“Now Sango,” the man replied, “What ever could you mean? I’ve done nothing wrong.”
Sirens blared not too far off in the distance as the ambulance followed by a police car pulled up.

“We’ll finish this later,” Sango whispered, pulling the man up off the ground and dragged him to the ambulance, pulling him inside they got him on a stretcher and the officer shut the door. She hit the back and the white vehicle sped off to the nearest hospital.

“Good job you two,” Came the rough voice of the officer from the second car.

“Thank you Koga,” Sango replied.

“You’re needed at the military base,” The wolf added, “Seems the head of department wishes to speak with you.”

The two nodded and got back into their car, traveling to the base a few blocks away.

------------------------------------------------

The couple climbed out of their squad car, making sure to lock it up before closing the doors.

“What do you think we’re needed for?” Miroku asked his partner as they waked into the main office building.

“I have no clue,” The young woman replied, crossing the large room and entering the elevator, “Though he said Sesshomaru needed to see us.”

“And that in it self doesn’t trouble you?” Miroku inquired, “I mean how did he, and now that I think about it Koga, live so long?”

“Their demon’s Miroku,” Sango reasoned, “Their life spans are longer than ours.”

“This is true,” Miroku said, “Though, I still don’t understand how we know all this.”

“We just do,” Sango sighed, the metal doors opening, allowing them to leave, “Just leave it at that.”

The man nodded and followed the young woman as she made her way down the hall to the young lord’s office.

Knocking she said, “Sesshomaru, we’ve come to see you.”

“Come in,” The demon answered.

“You needed to see us?” Miroku questioned, walking into the room and stood next to his companion.

“Yes, as you both know Naraku has become more active,” Sesshomaru began, “And I think it’s time you joined the team.”

“I don’t quite understand,” Miroku said, his eyes narrowed towards the young lord.

“You are to join up with one of my teams on this case,” Sesshomaru clarified, “and work with them in order to bring this demon down.”

“Who are we going to work with?” Sango questioned.

Suddenly, a knock came to the heavy door, a voice questioned, “Sesshomaru?”

“Come in,” The demon said, once again.

The door opened and a young man entered, is amber eyes wide with shock. The young woman behind him in much the same state.

---------------------------------------------------

The two walked down the streets of Tokyo for the second time that day.

“Do you drive yet?” The hanyou questioned, trying to start a friendly conversation.

“I can,” Kagome replied, “But do I have a car, no.”

“That’s what I meant,” InuYasha said, “I have a motorcycle my self, well besides the planes.”

“I still don’t see how anyone would allow you to pilot a plane.” Kagome said as they rounded another corner, the base coming into sight.

“It took me about a year to learn and go through all the training I needed in order to fly one,” InuYasha stated, “Graduated top in the class.”

“You in school?” Kagome asked, eyeing the man walking beside her, “I don’t believe it.”

“Well you better because it’s true,” The hanyou stated, a grin on his face.

The two rounded yet another corner and came in front of the bases’ large front gates.

“Commander,” One of the guards greeted, “We didn’t think we would be seeing you so soon.”

“Some urgent business came up,” InuYasha replied with a wave of his hand, walking through the now opened gate.

“Is she with you sir?” The other guard questioned, pointing towards Kagome.

“Yes, let her through,” The hanyou answered, motioning for Kagome to follow as he lead her to the main office building.

The couple walked to the large front doors, pushing the glass barriers open and walked inside. The hanyou lead the way to the elevator and the two got in, InuYasha pushing the respective button that would take them to the floor Sesshomaru’s office was located on.

“Where are we going?” Kagome asked, curious as to where the hanyou was taking her, or rather who they were going to see.

“Sesshomaru said he found some people I’d be interested in seeing,” InuYasha explained, “So we’re going to his office.”

“Oh,” The miko answered as the elevator stopped and the two got out.

The young man showed the miko the way to his brother’s office and knocked on the door.

“Sesshomaru?” He asked and awaited his brother’s answer.

“Come in,” Sesshomaru replied.

Turning the knob, InuYasha opened the door and was met with two pairs of curious eyes, one hazel and one violet.

“I don’t believe it,” InuYasha gasped, eyeing the two before him.

“Miroku?” Kagome questioned, unsure if the two before her were truly her friends or not, “Sango?”

The four just stood there, silent for a few moments. Just eyeing each other, trying to figure out if they were truly who the person thought they were. At last, the group had been reunited and was whole once more.
