Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha…Sorry for making Midoriko evil. She wasn't really evil just not ready for kids…see!

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Hojo laughed evilly as he reached the bottom of the cave.

“After years of putting up with bull, I can finally have what I've…”

“You sicken me.”

Hojo looked around to find where the voice had come from. It wasn't that of Inuyasha's but of Kagome and he had made sure he killed her.

 

“Do you truly think that I can't reach you even through death itself?”

Hojo began to shake.

“This is all a joke…just a simple little joke.”
“Yeah, it's me Kagome. The girl you just murdered, oh say, three minutes and 42 seconds ago.”

 

The man lifted from the ground by some unknown force and thrown into a wall. Inuyasha stood in front of him in his demon form.

“Lest I forget you murdered two of my children and my mate…” The demon began to laugh cynically.

“I believe that means you should die as well.”

 

“Inuyasha Solo Maffiano, if you so much as lay a hand on that man you will have you ears boxed.” The do demon looked to the corridor of the cave and saw the one woman who would stop hi revenge from being exacted.

 

“Mama?”

The Italian woman took a good look at Hojo.

“So you're the man who took my grandchild away.”

Dumbly Hojo nodded. Maria began to kick rant and rave in Italian. Getting the man in family jewels a good hundred times; she brushed a sweaty strand of black hair from her face.

 

“You are lucky my child had not torn you to pieces!”

Taking Inuyasha by the hand, she led him to Kagome.

“Darling she is not well. You must get her to a medical facility at once.”

The hanyou nodded and gathered his unconscious lover to go to the hospital.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Inuyasha trotted impatiently around the outside of the ICU waiting for the doctors to come back with their reviews on Kagome. Maria grasped her son's shaking hands.

“She will be alright, she is a fighter. Just like you.”

Inuyasha nodded half-heartedly and sighed.

 

“I hope your right.”

Inuyasha soon found his right ear dragged down to the floor. Hissing at the pain, he swatted at his mother's hand.

“Lemme go!”

“I said stop worrying. She isn't going to get better while you're out here running around with a head with a chicken cut off!”

 

Inuyasha had to snicker at his mother's bad usage of the American philosophy. She looked at him with a mad stare.

“What are you laughing at?”

Inuyasha shook his head. Emilo, an old friend of Inuyasha's, stepped out from the cold metal doors of the ICU.

“She had a lacerated tracheae but nothing that we couldn't fix. It will be hard for her to talk for a while. She be awake in a couple of hours I suggest you get some type of speech to tell her, she won't be happy when she sees that scar.”

 

Inuyasha shook his friend's hand.

“What about the baby?”

Emilio's head hung low.

“We couldn't save the baby.”

Inuyasha was stuck in a twilight episode. This couldn't have happened again. He wanted this baby. He could have had it all…Hojo messed it up again.

 

Inuyasha sniffed and looked Emilio in the eye.

“Okay my friend. Thank you for all you've done.”

Inuyasha headed for the exit of the hospital.

Maria ran to catch her son.

“Watch over Kagome till I get back.”

Maria was no miko but she felt the dark aura that surrounded her son and choked him like a vice.

 

She agreed and watched her son walk out the hospital to where ever.

Hojo held the ice pack to his sore groin. The old chick had got him good. Prison bars were harder to break through and he was still waiting for his money for bail to be wired through from his bank account. Sighing he lay back on the small cot that he was given at his entrance of Rail County prison. He had only been there for about two days and no one dare make a move on a person who rendered a demon and his two witches and his kids.

 

That's what he told them of course. In real life he'd pissed of a hanyou, got his ass handed to him by a middle aged Latino woman and sliced up a pregnant chick. Some rap.

The warden opened his cell and told him the four words he'd been waiting for the past 48 hours; “You're free to go.”

 

Strutting out the cell he went to the lock down point and retrieved his things. Once he did, he was a free man. Or so he thought before he saw who bailed him out.

“I… Inuyasha…I…umm how are ya?”

Inuyasha nodded at the guards who left Hojo in his care and threw him into his black limo.

 

Lighting his first cigar in the past year, Inuyasha looked at Hojo.

“You know I stopped smoking these in light of the fact that I was going to be a father. Twice that has happened and you know what screws it up?”

Hojo scooted towards the car door.

“You have. The baby died Hojo. Juniper and now this unborn child I will never get the chance to meet. I wondered day by day what in gods name could I do to you to make this even. You had no kids, or so I was told, until I found out where you had be hiding them.”

 

The limo pulled up to a cemetery. Next to an old grave were two very frightened young girls.

“Inuyasha, please let them go…”
“Shut up.”

 

The car pulled to a stop and Hojo ran out to hold the two little girls.

“Karena, Yasuka, are you alright?” The little girls nodded.

“Mr. Dog-man was gonna go get you. He said to watch his daughter but I don't see her.”

Inuyasha came up behind the cowering family.

 

“Girls meet Juniper. She'd be your age by now had she not been killed by your father.”

He pointed to the angel-stoned grave that the family stood by. Karena, the old of the two black haired kindergartners, looked at her father with shame.

“You killed her? Daddy why?”

Her little green eyes welled up with tears.

“You a bad man daddy.” Yasuka babbled.

“Why you kill the baby?” She cried wiping her wet eyes on the sleeve of her coat.

Hojo looked back and forth between the two girls and then to Inuyasha.

 

“I'm so sorry…”
“No you're not. You can hold, kiss, and spend time with your daughters. I cannot. Mine lay beneath the earth. Never to see their first day of school, to graduate or even to get married. Both of them are dead because of you.”

 

Inuyasha reached into his coat pocket and threw an envelope of money to Hojo.

“Do what you want with it. It used to be Juniper's college fund.”

Picking up the dirty money, Hojo looked at his daughters who were overcome with tears.

 

“Mr. Dog-man, please forgive daddy. He's really sorry.” Inuyasha knelt and hugged Karena.

“Thank you but I don't know if I ever can sweetheart.”

Tears rolled down his face and he wiped them away.

“Don't cry. She's probably in heaven with Grammy. When Grammy died, she went to heaven with the angels. She's probably looking out for Juniper.”

 

Inuyasha nodded at the little girl's kind words. Yasuka came up to him and gave him a hug. He will miss this. Hojo thought as he rose. The love the laughter and the smiles. He will miss all of this. And for what? Because I wanted some damned treasure.

 

“I hope you can live with yourself.” With that, Inuyasha left him and his daughters standing next to Juniper's grave.
