Plushie: Get on with it you stupid obsessed fangurl!
(tear)
Inu Yasha, you're smaller than me right now, you know that?
Plushie: Don't hurt me!!!!

Well, then. On with the story...
Fourteen: Deep Thoughts...
it was just like old times, having Sango and Miroku at their sides and sleeping in the woods, a battle waiting for them the next day. Kagome put the most thought into what was going to happen. She didn't want anyone to get hurt, she meerly wanted her son back and to be able to go back to her time, but would Inu Yasha allow that? Now that he had seen his son, wouldn't he want to be part of his life? Well, she still wanted her son, Inu Yasha's son to have a good education, but she wanted to stay in the feudal era where no one would have a problem adjusting to Inu Yasha's ears. She decided to get some sleep and get her son back before she planned on his future like this.
morning of the fight was eventful. It began when she felt someone licking her neck and opened her eyes. Upon turning around, she noticed Inu Yasha looking sort of like a lost puppy. At first, she thought it was a romantic moment and that Inu Yasha was trying to make her feel better about what they were going to do that day. She kissed him tenderly on the lips, him pausing a moment before he joined in and put more pressure on her lips.
moment that ruined it all... Inu Yasha's stomach growled.
so that's what you wanted Inu Yasha. Kagome broke off the kiss just as Inu Yasha was getting into it. He wined a bit, but as she got out of his grasp, he noticed that food was on the way. Was it what he thought it was? Yes!!! But wait?
did you get Ramen, Kagome? I thought you didn't bring any with you when you followed Hojo..." Kagome noticed that he was a little anxious to get his Ramen, since he was deprived of it for a few years.
went back and packed a few things before you noticed that I was gone, and I got some Ramen and a few pairs of clothes. You have noticed that I have been wearing different clothes everyday haven't you?" Kagome questioned. She figured that if he saw her in different clothes, he would assume that she had gone back and gotten a few 'needables'. But obviously, Inu Yasha was a bit oblivious to these kinds of things.
think that he was more interested in what was under the clothing than the fact that you changed clothes." A familiar smack was heard as Sango and Miroku got up. Sango had thankfully left the baby back in the village with Kaede and the other mothers. Miroku was of course being as perverted as ever. He still hadn't changed after all this time; this made Kagome smile.
do you have to be so perverted all the time?" Sango asked her husband.
because I love you. And because I have to make up for all those years that Kagome was away. I bet no one has grabbed her in forever..." The trademark cheesy smile appeared on his face.
well let's keep it that way..." Kagome scooted away from where Miroku was sitting and continued cooking the food. "Here you go, Inu Yasha. Sango, here's yours, and I am not sure if I want to give you any, monk. But here," She handed the bowl to Sango who passed it to Miroku.
silence wasn't all that bad. It is said that if you are truly confortable with those around you, then you can enjoy each other's company rather that sitting there trying to figure out something to say.
Yasha was the first to finish and of course, he asked for more. After a few bowls, he finally let up and looked at the others, who had been done for a while. "Wow, you don't know how good that was, I love you Kagome..."
you just love me bringing the Ramen, don't you Inu Yasha?" Kagome asked.
you are in the top few..." Kagome eyed him evily. "Ok, I love you more." Inu Yasha was surprised though. He never thought that he could have such a conversation with Kagome and the others. It was true, nothing really had changed, but at the same time, everything had.
going to go clean up a bit. I am still a little sticky from cooking. Be right back." Kagome pointed out that there was a stream a little whiles from where they'd set up camp, she would wash and then fill up a few bottles of water.
at the stream, Kagome dipped her hands in the cold water and let it just wash away all the dirt on them. Kagome like washing her hands in the streams again and being in nature. Running water was something that she loved, but being gone from the Feudal Era for so long did make you homesick for a little 'ruffing it'.
So nice to see you again. I knew that you would come to me. You want me, and you want your son. Soon, we can be together. Just come with me." Kagome didn't need to lift her head to know who that was, she would never forget that voice again. It had once been kind, but now all it was, was Naraku's incarnate. Hojo sounded like Naraku did when they actually did encounter him in person.
give me back my son, and I will go easy on you. You don't want this; this isn't you! What happened to the person that I knew, the boy that I went to school with and once cared for?"Kagome wanted so much for him to just give up and give her her son back. It shouldn't have to be like this. Naraku was dead, so where was the gang's happy ending?
there ever going to be a happy ending?
this is the real me. I put on that facade for you to actually like me, then we could be together and have a family. I was surprised when I found out that you were able to travel back and forth between these worlds, but that is even better. We can live here and have everything peaceful. It would be great..." He still held his hand out for her to take it. "You can be here, with me, and have your son. What's not to like?"
I don't think that you are this kind of person. Hojo, please, give him back. Kioshi... Kioshi!!" Kagome began to try. Hojo withdrew his hand and stood up straight.
I didn't want to have to resort to force, but you just won't understand. I hope that you see that I am doing this for your own good and the good of Kioshi." He floated up above the ground about a foot and snapped his fingers.
Mommy!" Kagome turned at the sound of Kioshi's voice. "Mommy, I miss you! Please, let's go home!"
where is home...?' Kagome thought in her head. She shook her head and proceeded to run over to where Kioshi was standing. But she didn't make it in time.
was suddenly surrounded by black ropes, they were see throgh as if they did not exist, but htey were enough to keep hold on Kioshi. "Ow! Mommy, they hurt!"
stop hurting him, he is too young to have to go through this! You are a horrible person, or whatever you are!" Kagome started to cry even more, but what would that do? What would anything do now?
Yasha? Is that screaming?" Sango asked.
and it's Kagome! Let's move. I knew this would happen. I'm going to get that bastard for everything that he has put us through!" Inu Yasha was up and running before the first words came out of his mouth.
too had been wondering how they were going to go about this attack. How were they supposed to get Kioshi back? He could do what he always did and barge in, sword drawn, and threaten to cut him into pieces if he didn't give his son back. But that could get Kioshi killed. So, what?
that time, they had reached the clearing and stream where Kioshi and Kagome were located, along with that bastard, Hojo.
let him go! I swear I will kill you!" Inu Yasha landed and left his hand on the hilt of tetsaiga for good measure, and not to mention safety. "I said let him go!" Inu Yasha repeated when Kioshi made no move for his request, nor did he even acknowledge Inu Yasha's presance. Hojo kept his eyes glued to Kagome.
gonna be your decision, Kagome? Come with me, and keep your son with you and alive, or leave him with me. You know, there's no telling what I could do with a child like this. He has demon power, that's good. Naraku would be pleased that I am wrecking havoc on you all like this. And I think he'd find it even more amusing that I am blackmailing you Kagome, the person that Naraku wanted to rid of most, into being my mate and bearing my children. Not to mention the fact that I would raise Inu Yash's child as my own. Now, would you like to be powerful Kagome? Would you like to take this jewel and be my mate. We could rule? We could be more powerful than anyone who would ever oppose us!"
don't know about anyone else, but I have had enough of your voice! You need to think realistic, you bastard! Kagome would never be with you! She knows that we will win and get Kioshi back. You on the other hand, are very expendable!" At that he, drew his sword and jumped up to run Hojo through. But he wasn't able to because of the barrier that had been erected around Hojo and Kioshi who was now floating close to him.
Yasha fell back to the ground and slid back on his feet. 'So, he has a nice barrier that he thinks will keep my attacks out? Well, I'll show him that no barriers are a match for my Red Tetsaiga!' Inu Yasha concentrated and felt the energy building up in his sword. The color changed to a beautiful, blood red. Hojo, who had never seen this sort of energy emenating from a sword before, was very interested in what this stupid, annoying half-breed was planning.
Yasha jumped up, just as he had done before, and attacked the barrier once more. Hojo saw that the Tetsaiga was able to break the barrier, but he wouldn't go down that easily. Just because this guy had a little talent didn't mean that he'd go with out a fight. Doding the attack, Hojo had spun around and went for a kick in the back towards Inu Yasha. But Inu Yasha saw this coming and he swung at Hojo, barely missing because Hojo landed on the ground. He near towards Kagome, but she ran and was planning on getting her arrows, but Hojo knew all of her powers, and he wasn't planning on letting her out of his sight.
where are you going, surely you wouldn't abandon your own child now would you. If you leave my sight, I leave and he comes with me. Now would you like to be blamed and guilty for the rest of you life because you were a coward. I am going to kill Inu Yasha, and I want you to watch it..." He let out a little laugh at the last line.
could do nothing but observe the fight between the men while she stood there, helpless and without any weapons. Damn it! Why hadn't she thought to bring anything with her? She was going out into the woods, while someone was out to claim her, and she just thought that she would be left alone as she stood out there like a sitting duck? Stupid! Stupid. Stupid...
there were other things that she could do, though if she did, and she lived through, Inu Yasha would be very angry. Not to mention that it would be putting Kioshi's and Inu Yasha's lives on the line.
as Kagome was thinking, Inu Yasha was still trying to attack Hojo. But whenever he pushed, Hojo pulled enough that he wouldn't be affected by it. And whenever he tried to hit here, or there, Hojo was just a little bit faster than him. It wasn't quite the time to be thinking this, but Inu Yasha noticed that this fight was strangely like the one that he had with Naraku not too long ago. It was the battle where Inu Yasha had gotten his revenge for Kikyo, where he'd gotten most of the missing jewel shards that he lacked, and most of all, Inu Yasha found that after fighting and winning against Naraku, he had the courage to see Kagome again and tell her everything despite the fact that it could mess up the life that she had made after leaving him for three years.
this another battle like the one before? Was this supposed to give him the courage to be a father to Kioshi? To be the person that Kagome knew he could be? Whatever it was, he had to win, not for himself, but only for the sake of Kagome and Kioshi.
new determination, he thrust the sword swiftly at Hojo and wounded his arm. It wasn't much, but hey, it was a start comparing to what he hadn't done to him before. Hojo was pissed now. Before, he had thought that Inu Yasha was fun to mess around with. He was a little of a challenge to him, so he would get a good workout. But now, he had ripped his skin. His arm was wounded, and it was all Inu Yasha's fault!
held out his arm, and much to the amazement of Inu Yasha, he formed a whip out of it. The energy that formed the whip made it long and it would definately burn the skin very badly if it hit Inu Yasha anywhere. "Now you shall suffer my wrath!" (A/N: I know, that's a little cliche isn't it?) Hojo ran towards Inu Yasha with his whip in hand and jumped towards Inu Yasha.
first, Inu Yasha thought that he dodged the attack, but he was concentrating on Hojo's movements and not those of the whip. It sped towards Inu Yasha and grabbed his wrist, yanking him so that his back hit a tree very painfully. Inu Yasha groaned and looked up with blurry eyes. He saw Kagome looking at him, her face twisted a bit. She looked as if she was deciding something. Inu Yasha knew from experience that this look could only mean one thing. Kagome was planning on doing something drastic.
for her safety, Inu Yasha warned her, "Kagome! You stay out of this! You hear me? Don't interfere. We both know what could happen if you do something drastic!" He struggled to his feet and looked at Hojo. Hojo was once again looking at Kagome with those hungry eyes of his. He wouldn't walk away from this fight with those eyes intact. He wasn't concentrating on the battle, that was a mistake for anyone to make. Once again lifting up the Tetsaiga, Inu Yasha jumped high in the air, as he began most of his attacks.
Hojo wasn't as oblivious as Inu Yasha thought he was. With the whip, Hojo had an extra advantage. He had a long reach. This way, slamming Inu Yasha back into the tree that he had become so friendly with wasn't much of a task. As Inu Yasha once again lay against the tree, Tetsaiga laying on the ground beside him, he flet a little dizzy. The blows to the back of the head could do that to you. And the few places, including his right wrist, that were burnt weren't helping this fight very much.
held the whip back, it was time to deal the finishing blow. Using the energy, he straightened the whip and gave it a point on the end, much like a steak or sharp stick. This would be fun. Ramming this through Inu Yasha's heart. He chucked at the thought.
the sharp point speeding through the air towards Inu Yasha, Hojo felt he had won. He'd taken Kioshi, most likely killed Inu Yasha, and he would have Kagome. Yes, it worked.
his plan wasn't meant to go through. Kagome ran towards Inu Yasha. He sat there, looking somewhat helpless. He looked towards her as she came over to his, racing the sharp whip. "Kagome... No! Stay Away!" Inu Yasha told her.
Inu Yasha. You can still fight, you can win. And if anything happens, Kioshi will have you! He needs to know his father, just as he knows me!" She dove towards Inu Yasha, pleading to the gods that she would beat the whip.
Who's blood. Inu Yasha lay in front of her, where she had pushed him. And he wasn't hurt. So that had to meant that it worked. Everything went according to plann. As the whip had raced towards Inu Yasha, Kagome had made a decision. She wanted Kisohi to know his father. He knew his mother, so if she wasn't there, he could still have someone to take... care of... him... . . . . .
went BLACK.
think that this is the first real cliffy that I have had. The other 'cliffys' weren't the sitting on the edge of your seat cliffys like this one is (if you would consider this one of those) But I will update as soon as I can.

first, Inu Yasha thought that he dodged the attack, but he was concentrating on Hojo's movements and not those of the whip. It sped towards Inu Yasha and grabbed his wrist, yanking him so that his back hit a tree very painfully. Inu Yasha groaned and looked up with blurry eyes. He saw Kagome looking at him, her face twisted a bit. She looked as if she was deciding something. Inu Yasha knew from experience that this look could only mean one thing. Kagome was planning on doing something drastic.
for her safety, Inu Yasha warned her, "Kagome! You stay out of this! You hear me? Don't interfere. We both know what could happen if you do something drastic!" He struggled to his feet and looked at Hojo. Hojo was once again looking at Kagome with those hungry eyes of his. He wouldn't walk away from this fight with those eyes intact. He wasn't concentrating on the battle, that was a mistake for anyone to make. Once again lifting up the Tetsaiga, Inu Yasha jumped high in the air, as he began most of his attacks.
Hojo wasn't as oblivious as Inu Yasha thought he was. With the whip, Hojo had an extra advantage. He had a long reach. This way, slamming Inu Yasha back into the tree that he had become so friendly with wasn't much of a task. As Inu Yasha once again lay against the tree, Tetsaiga laying on the ground beside him, he flet a little dizzy. The blows to the back of the head could do that to you. And the few places, including his right wrist, that were burnt weren't helping this fight very much.
held the whip back, it was time to deal the finishing blow. Using the energy, he straightened the whip and gave it a point on the end, much like a steak or sharp stick. This would be fun. Ramming this through Inu Yasha's heart. He chucked at the thought.
the sharp point speeding through the air towards Inu Yasha, Hojo felt he had won. He'd taken Kioshi, most likely killed Inu Yasha, and he would have Kagome. Yes, it worked.
his plan wasn't meant to go through. Kagome ran towards Inu Yasha. He sat there, looking somewhat helpless. He looked towards her as she came over to his, racing the sharp whip. "Kagome... No! Stay Away!" Inu Yasha told her.
Inu Yasha. You can still fight, you can win. And if anything happens, Kioshi will have you! He needs to know his father, just as he knows me!" She dove towards Inu Yasha, pleading to the gods that she would beat the whip.
Who's blood. Inu Yasha lay in front of her, where she had pushed him. And he wasn't hurt. So that had to meant that it worked. Everything went according to plann. As the whip had raced towards Inu Yasha, Kagome had made a decision. She wanted Kisohi to know his father. He knew his mother, so if she wasn't there, he could still have someone to take... care of... him... . . . . .
went BLACK.

The other 'cliffys' weren't the sitting on the edge of your seat cliffys like this one is (if you would consider this one of those) But I will update as soon as I can. But as always, I will need a little push. Please, review and stay tuned for the nect few chapters will be cool! THX -Tsuyoku-
