InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Loving You ❯ Facing the Truth ( Chapter 5 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

A/N: Sorry to change something, but I thought about it and I decided to give Inuyasha and Sesshomaru another demonic power from Charmed: energy balls. It's pretty self explanitory. It's a ball made out of energy. Can't think of any thing else to describe it. You can watch the show to find out more. I just thought that them having this power would be very useful.

Sile nce. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Kagome didn't know what was worse: Inuyasha yelling or him not saying anything at all. But what she did know was that the silence was killing her. Someone needed to say something soon or she was going to burst.

"What?" Inuyasha growled.

"I said-"

Inuyasha held his hand up. "How the hell could you keep this from me?"

Kagome couldn't keep the tears from falling. "I didn't know how to tell you.""So you fuckin' thought that you wouldn't tell me at all?"
"I thought that it would be best-"

"Best for who?!"

"For everyone."

"I can't be here right now." Inuyasha turned around and walked back down the hall.

"Inuyasha," Kagome called. "Inuyasha!" She watched him walk down the stairs. "I'm sorry," she whispered. She shut her bedroom door, knowing that he wasn't coming back, and sat down on her bed next to Wyatt. Trying her best to keep herself from crying, she apologized to her son. "Wyatt, honey, I'm so sorry."

Wyatt scooted over and put his small arms around her. "It's okay, Mommy. Don't cry."

Hearing her son try to console her, she couldn't help but cry. She pulled him into her arms and laid down on the bed, holding onto him and crying quietly. Crying for her son, because of what he just had to witness. Crying for Inuyasha, because of what he must be going through. But most of all, crying because she hated herself for doing what she did. She had told herself for years that she was doing the right thing. But now that she was back, she couldn't help but think that she might have screwed up something that could have ended up great.



Not bothering to say anything to Miroku, Sango and Rin, Inuyasha stormed out of the house. He got in his red 1968 Dodge Charger and slammed the door. "Fuck!" He said, hitting the steering wheel. He sat there for a minute to calm himself before starting up his car and speeding off. Driving madly through the streets, a memory popped into his head out of nowhere. He didn't even know why he thought of it, but he did.

"Guys, get this," Inuyasha, who was turning sixteen in a week, said to Kagome and Miroku. "My dad said that he would get me any car that I wanted for my birthday."

"Really?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah, and I already know what I want." Kagome and Miroku looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to tell them. "A red '68 Charger."

"Dude, are you serious?" Miroku asked.

"Yeah, why not?" Inuyasha said, flipping through a car magazine.

"Do they even have those in Japan?"

"No."

"Then how are you gonna get one?" Kagome asked.

"I could have it shipped over."

"And your dad's all for it?" Miroku asked.

"Well, I haven't told him what kind of car I wanted yet. But he did say any car."

"Don't you think he meant any car that you could drive home from the dealer?" Kagome asked.

"He didn't say anything about where I had to get it from, he just told me to pick one."

"Inuyasha!" They heard Mr. Tashio yell.

They all went downstairs and followed Inuyasha into the living room.

"Ten bucks says that Tai is going to flip," Kagome whispered

"Your on. I think that he'll at least try to reason with him."

Not even a minute later a voice was heard through out the mansion. "What!"

Kagome stuck out her hand. "Fork it over."

"Aww, man."

"Haha," she said, pocketing the money.

"C'mon, Dad. You said any car," Inuyasha begged.

"That was when I thought that you would pick a car that was in the same country as us," said the oldest Tashio.

"But, Dad, it's a 1968 Charger," Inuyasha emphasized.

"Oh, Tai, let him get the car," Izayoi said.

Tai glared at his wife, then looked back at Inuyasha. "Son, I know that you want this car, but I think that you should get a more reasonable vehicle, like a SUV or something. Not a hot rod."

"Dad, do I look like someone who would drive a reasonable car?"

Tai looked hard at Inuyasha before sighing. "IF I get you this car, do you promise to be careful and not speed around all the time?"

"Promise."

"I'll think about it." With that said, Tai walked away, leaving Inuyasha with a huge grin on his face.

The next week, on the morning of his birthday, Inuyasha found his dream car sitting in the driveway.

Inuyasha speed through the gate and slammed on his breaks in front of the mansion. He stormed up the steps and into the house, slamming the door behind him. Striding toward the stairs, he planed on going to his room to think about what happened, when his mom stopped him.

"Inuyasha, honey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, Mom," Inuyasha said continuing to walk up the stairs.

"Inuyasha, stop."

He did, but didn't bother to turn around. "What?"

"I know that something's wrong. Why won't you tell me?"

"Mom, for once, just leave me alone."

"How can you ask me that, when I know that something is wrong?"

"I don't want to talk about it," Inuyasha growled at her.

"What's going on?" Tai asked, walking in from the kitchen.

Inuyasha dropped his chin to his chest, sighing angrily.

"Something's wrong with him and he won't tell me what it is," Izayoi explained.

"Inuyasha?" Tai said.

'Why does my family have to be so damn nosy,' he thought. Why couldn't they just leave him alone. "Dad, I really don't want to talk about it."

"Inuyasha," Izayoi started. "Why are you shutting us out? You always tell us everything."

"I just don't want to talk about it right now." He started to walk upstairs, when his mother's next question stopped him.

"Does it have anything to do with Kagome being back?"

Inuyasha whirled around. "How did you know that she was back?"

"Sesshomaru told us."

"Told you what?" Sesshomaru asked, walking through the front door.

Inuyasha bounded down the steps. He stormed over to his brother. "You knew that Kagome was coming back and you didn't tell me?"

"I didn't think it would be a big deal, seeing as you two are broken up. And you already have a girlfriend," Sesshomaru explained.

"That's beside the point," Inuyasha said.

"How do you know that she was back?" Sesshomaru asked, taking the spotlight off of him and onto his little brother.

"I saw her today when I went to see how Sango was."

"You saw her? Did you see Wy-" Sesshomaru clamped his mouth shut.

"Yeah, I...Wait? See who?" Inuyasha asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Kagome. Did you see Kagome?" Sesshomaru looked anywhere but at Inuyasha.

"You knew didn't you?"

"Knew what?"

"Don't playing fucking games with me, Sesshomaru! You knew that I had a kid!"

Izayoi gasped. "What?"

"How long have you known, Sesshomaru?"Sesshomaru sighed, knowing that his brother won't leave him alone until he gets an answer. "Rin told me after Kagome left."

Inuyasha growled. "What?! You knew for five damn years that I had a kid? How could you not fuckin' tell me?!"

"It wasn't my place to tell you, it was Kagome's."

"That's bullshit, and you know it."

Tai had heard enough of the yelling and decided to intervene. "Enough! Now, one of you is going to tell me what you're fighting about." He turned to his youngest son. "Inuyasha? Why don't you tell me what happened with Kagome today."
Inuyasha didn't say anything. He just stood there, looking past his parents.

"Inuyasha?" Izayoi said.

Inuyasha sighed. "When I went to see Sango, I saw the Kagome was back. And before I could get over the shock that she was back, I found out that she has a kid. My kid!"

"You have a child?" Tai asked

"Yeah. She lied to me for five years. How could she not tell me?"

After the news about him being a grandfather sunk in, Tai then realized how old Kagome was when she was pregnant. "How could you have sex with a sixteen year old?! Inuyasha, you were eighteen! Do you know how much trouble you could have gotten into? Her parents could have put you in jail."

"I know. We didn't do it more than once. Trust me, I didn't want to go to jail."

"How could she do this? She was such a nice girl," Izayoi said. "I'm going to call her right now." She was about to march into the living room to get the phone when Tai stopped her.

"Izayoi, maybe you should let Inuyasha handle this.""But, she didn't just keep this from Inuyasha, she kept it from all of us. She kept my grandchild away from me, away from us," she said, as she tears came to her eyes. "I can't believe that she took away his...son? Daughter?" She turned to Inuyasha, seeking an answer.

"Son." Inuyasha sighed and sat on the stairs.

"What's his name?" Izayoi asked, taking a seat next to Inuyasha.

"I...don't know. She didn't tell me," he said.

"She didn't tell you what your son's name is?" she asked incredulously.

"Well, I didn't really give her a chance. We were yelling the whole time. Then after she told me about him, I left." He sighed again, rubbing his hand over his face. "What the hell am I gonna do?"

Sesshomaru, staying quiet through out this conversation, decided to step in. "His name is Wyatt. Wyatt Christopher Higurashi."

"Wyatt?" Inuyasha thought for a moment. "I like it."

"Higurashi?" Izayoi asked. "She gave him her last name? Why she just cut you out of everything, didn't she?"

Inuyasha groaned at what his mom just said.

"Izzy," Tai said. "I don't think that your making Inuyasha feel any better about this. Why don't you go lay down and I'll bring you some lunch."

"But-"

"Izzy," Tai warned.

"Fine," she said harshly.

After she went upstairs, Tai turned to Inuyasha. "You need to talk to Kagome. Now that you know that you have a son, you need to get to know him."

"I know," Inuyasha said quietly. "What am I going to say?"

"Nothing," Sesshomaru said. "You don't have anything to explain, she does. Just hear her out, okay?"
"Fine. I'll talk to her first thing tomorrow," he said, standing up.

"Don't you think that the sooner you talk to her, the better?" Tai asked.

"I need time to cool off. We both do." With that said, Inuyasha went upstairs to his room and slammed the door.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*

"What's going on? What's this?" Kagome asked the lawyer who stood with an envelope at the door.

"It's a court notice. For a custody hearing for a Wyatt Christopher Higurashi."

"What?" She hastily ripped open the envelope. She read it quickly and when she looked up, she saw she wasn't in her house anymore, instead she was in a court room in front of a judge.

"I, hereby, grant Inuyasha Tashio full custody of Wyatt Higurashi," the judge said.

"What?! No!" Kagome turned to the right and saw Inuyasha holding Wyatt. "Inuyasha, how could you do this to me?!"

"Me? How could you? You took him away from me, Kagome. Now, I'm doing the same to you," he said, walking down the aisle between the seats in the court room.

Kagome ran after him and tried to take Wyatt away. "No. You can't take away my baby!" Two uniformed officers grabbed her arms and pulled her away from Inuyasha. "You can't do this to me! Inuyasha! Give me back my son!" She started to thrash about, trying to get the officers to let go of her. "Wyatt! Get off of me!" She screamed at the officers. "WYATT!"

"No! Wyatt!" Kagome jerked awake and sat up rigidly. She looked to where her son was laying, but all she saw was a vacant spot. She quickly looked around the room. "Wyatt?!"

Rin and Sango ran into the room.

"Kagome, what's wrong?" Rin asked.

Kagome jumped off of the bed. "Where's Wyatt?"

"He's downstairs, eating dinner with Miroku."

"Oh, thank god." Kagome sank down to the floor, tears rolling down her face. She put her hands to her mouth, trying to stop the sobs.

Rin knelt down next to Kagome. "Honey, what's the matter?"

Sango sat down on the other side of Kagome. "You can tell us, Kagome."

"I had a horrible nightmare," Kagome sobbed. "Inuyasha took Wyatt away from me."

"What?" Rin put her arms around Kagome. "He would never do that."

"Wouldn't he?"

"Look, Kagome," Sango said, taking one of Kagome's hands into her own. "I know that Inuyasha has a very bad temper, but he would never take Wyatt away from you."

"Just because he's very angry with you, doesn't mean he would-" Rin started.

"I know. But I can't help but think it," Kagome interrupted. She stood up and left the room, going downstairs.

"I can't believe that she thinks Yash would take Wyatt from her," Sango said, straightening up.

"Well, Kagome has always been a bit of a dramatic," Rin said, also standing.

"A bit?" Sango asked with a smirk.

"Sango," Rin warned.

"I know. I was just kidding...kinda."

"Uh-huh. Let's just get downstairs and eat dinner. We'll worry about Kagome later."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*

Kagome was halfway down the stairs when she saw Miroku fly through the air into the foyer. "Miroku!" She ran down the last steps to Miroku's side.

"Wyatt," Miroku mumbled.

Kagome whipped around and terror filled her when she saw what was in the dining room. A demon stood behind her son with an energy ball formed in his hand. She lifted her hand to use her telekinesis but stopped when the demon talked.

"Tsk, tsk. I wouldn't do that if I were you. You don't want your son dead, do you?"

Kagome balled her hands into fists, getting ready to fight if she had to. "What do you want?"

"Him," he said, glancing at Wyatt, who was scared but didn't cry.

"Why?"

"Why?" The demon repeated. "Because he's powerful, that's why. He's the only being born of witch and demon. Which makes him very wanted."

"You will never have my son," Kagome said.

"Kagome!" Rin yelled as she ran down the stairs, Sango right behind her.

Kagome turned towards them. "Stay away!"

When she got distracted, the demon shimmered away, taking Wyatt with him.

Kagome turned back to the dining room only to see that the demon was gone and so was her son. "No!" Kagome ran into the room. "Oh my god!" Running her hands through her hair, she started hyperventilating.

"What happened?" Rin asked, walking up to her sister's side, while Sango went to Miroku.

"A-a-a demon t-took W-wyatt," Kagome cried.

"Oh my god," Rin whispered and pulled Kagome into a hug. "What are we gonna do?"

"I'm gonna find him." Kagome sobered up quickly and wiped her eyes. She started for the stairs, determined to find her son.

"Kagome, shouldn't we let the police handle this?" Sango asked.

"Not when your son is half witch, half demon and was taken by a demon," Kagome said before running up the stairs.

"Wait for me," Rin yelled following her.

Miroku stood up. "I'll call the station and let them know what happened."

"Okay. What if Inuyasha hears about this?" Sango asked.

"Then we'll let Kagome deal with it if he does. But for now, we need to help Kagome."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*

"Kagome, what are you doing?" Rin asked, watching Kagome rummage through her drawers.

"Looking for a map," Kagome said as she opened another drawer.

"A map? Why do you need a map?"

"Ah-ha," Kagome said triumphantly. "Found one. I'm gonna scry for Wyatt." She spread out the map on her bed and grabbed the scrying crystal off of her dresser.

"Scry?" Rin thought for a second. "Oh, right. Isn't that like a magical lojack?"

"Yeah," Kagome answered as she held the crystal over the map. She watched it as it circled the map but didn't drop. "Come on."

"What's wrong?" Rin asked from on the other side of the bed.

"I can't find him."

"What do you mean you can't find him?"

Kagome sighed in frustration. "I mean that either someone or something is blocking him.""Like a force field or something?" Rin asked.

"Something like that." The sisters both watched as the crystal kept circling the map, but never dropped. Frustrated, Kagome threw the crystal down. "Damn it!"

Rin jumped when her little sister yelled. "Kagome?"

"I'm going to find him," Kagome said, pacing the floor next to her bed.

"How? What else can you do?"

"Give me a minute. I'll think of something."

Rin watched as Kagome paced the floor. Suddenly Rin thought of something. "Kagome, why don't we ask Inuya-"

Kagome stopped pacing and whipped around to face her sister. "No."

"Kagome, come on. He could probably find him," Rin tried to reason with her younger sister. She walked around to the other side of the bed and put grabbed Kagome's arms. "Look, Sesshomaru told me about a magical connection, or something like that, that his dad has. It's like Tai can sense where his sons are. So if Tai has it, doesn't that mean that Inuyasha has it, too?"

"Even if he did, it's not like it could help us now. He doesn't know what it feels like, or what to sense for," Kagome said.

"It's worth a shot," Rin said. "Come on, Kagome. He could be our only hope."

Kagome eyes betrayed the fight that was going on inside. On one hand, Kagome jumped at the idea. She wanted her son back to badly, that she would do anything. But, on the other hand, she would have to see Inuyasha again. And she knew that the circumstances that she had to see him under weren't very good. "I don't know, Rin."

Rin understood what her sister was feeling. She wasn't the middle sister for nothing. "Kagome, you're worried about what Inuyasha would think of you if he found out that Wyatt was taken, aren't you?"

Kagome nodded. "Yeah. What happens if my dream does come true and he uses this against me to take Wyatt? It would make me look like I'm a bad mother."

"Oh, sweetie," Rin said, giving Kagome a hug. "I know that I haven't spent hardly any time with you since you became a mother. But of the time that I have spent with you, I can tell that you're a wonderful mother. And I can also tell because of how badly you want to find him." Rin gave her one last squeeze, before leaning back. "So, do you want to call Inuyasha, or shall I?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*

Inuyasha was in his room watching tv, but wasn't really paying any attention to it. All he could think about was Kagome and Wyatt. He still couldn't believe that he had a son or that Kagome lied to him. She had never lied to him before. Well, except that time about her dad. He sighed and turned off the tv. How could she do this to me? He rubbed his hand over his face and started to pace his room. A second later, he heard his cell phone ring. Finding on his dresser, he answered it.

"Inuyasha?"

He stopped pacing. He felt like he couldn't breath. "Kagome?"

"Could you come over? I really need-"

Inuyasha shimmered over there before Kagome could finish her sentence.

"-to talk to you," Kagome finished, not knowing that he was already there.

"What is it?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome jumped when she heard Inuyasha's voice behind her instead of on the phone. She whirled around to face him. "Don't do that! You scared me half to death." She shut her phone and threw it on her bed.

Inuyasha could tell how frantic she was. Her eyes were red, her hair messy from her constantly running her hands through it. He could also sense how upset she was. And it scared him. Especially since she called him and asked him to come over. "What's wrong, Kagome? Is it one of your sisters?"

Kagome shook her head. "No, it's Wyatt." She then realized that Inuyasha probably didn't know his name. "Uh, Wyatt is my, uh, our son's name," she hastily told him.

"I know," Inuyasha told her. "Sess told me."

Kagome sighed. "Look, Inuyasha, I know that I shouldn't have taken Wyatt from you and I'm sorry, but I need your help."

"With what?"

"Why is this so hard to tell you?" Kagome asked herself.

"Tell me what?" Inuyasha asked, getting confused.

After a few deep breaths, Kagome started talking. "About twenty minutes ago, Wyatt was taken by a demon."
"What?" Inuyasha grew angry. Even though he didn't know his son, he was still furious that someone took him. He was looking forward to spending time with him, to get to know him. "How?"

Kagome explained what happened. "And I tried to scry for him, but something's shielding him."

"What can I do?"

"Well, Rin said that your dad can sense where you and your brother are and she thinks that you must have it, too."

"Kagome, how can I sense him if I don't know what to feel for? I never had to do it," Inuyasha told her.

"But, your dad-"

"We grew up with our dad, Kagome," Inuyasha snapped. "He felt us all the time."

"Please, Inuyasha, could you just try?" Kagome begged. She fought back the tears that threatened to fall. "I know that you don't know him, but I can't lose my son. He's all I have. Please?"

Inuyasha felt like she slapped him across the face, when she said that. "Even though I don't know him," he said, anger evident in his words, "doesn't mean that I wouldn't try to help find him. He's my son."

"I know, Inuyasha, and I'm sorry. I just don't know what to do," Kagome said desperately. "I didn't mean to imply that you wouldn't help, it's just that I'm not thinking clearly. So, will you try?" She asked hopefully.

"Yeah," Inuyasha answered. "Now, how do I do this?"

"It's probably like your shimmering power. With shimmering, you concentrate on the place you want to go. So, maybe try concentrating on Wyatt," Kagome said. "Close your eyes and picture him. You saw him today, so concentrate on his face. Close your eyes and think of Wyatt." She watched as Inuyasha closed his eyes. "Breathe and think only of Wyatt. See him in your mind as if he were here with you."

Inuyasha breathed slowly and concentrated hard on Wyatt. Suddenly, he opened his eyes. "I know where he is." He grabbed Kagome's arm and shimmered them out of the manor.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*

In a dark warehouse across the city, there was a cage that held the magical son of a witch and demon. Wyatt wasn't crying, just staring at the ground, waiting for his mom to save him.

There were two demons standing in front of the cage, guarding what was inside, like their boss told them to.

"What do you think he's going to do with him?" One of the demons asked, referring to their boss.

The other demon shrugged. "Don't know. Probably kill him."

"Why would he go through all the trouble of kidnapping him and putting him in this damn cage and make us guard him if he's only going to kill him?" He shook his head. "No, I think he's got something big planned."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*

There was a ripple in the air in a dark corner of the warehouse. The ripple quickly became two figures.

"There he is! Yash, you did it!" One of the figures whispered excitedly.

"Kags, keep it down," he told her, eyeing the cage and guards, trying to figure out how to get Wyatt out safely. "Okay, this is what we'll do," he said, turning to Kagome, only to find her creeping in the shadows toward one of the guards. "Kagome!" he whispered harshly.

She turned and motioned for him to follow. Once she was close enough to one of the guards, Kagome flicked her hands towards him and watched him scream in agony for a second then combust. His screaming immediately alerted the other guard. Kagome looked up at the other guard just as he threw an energy ball at her. Suddenly she was pushed sideways and the energy ball flew past her and hit Inuyasha, who had pushed her. He retaliated by throwing an energy ball of his own and killed the guard.

"Mommy!" Wyatt yelled.

Kagome ran to the cage. "Sweetie, are you alright?"

"Uh-huh."

"We're gonna get you out of there, okay?" She walked to the door of the cage and grabbed the handle. The second she touched it, the cage glowed and a force field threw her back several feet.

"Kagome!"

"Mommy!"

Inuyasha ran to her side and helped her up. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine," she grumbled. Kagome walked slowly to the cage, holding her lower back, as if she were in pain.

Inuyasha watched her and sighed. Same old Kagome. Never admitting to when she's hurt or can't handle something. "No, your not."

Kagome turned to look at him, confusion written on her face. "What?"

"Look, it's obvious that your hurt," Inuyasha said.

"Yeah, so are you, look at your arm," Kagome pointed out.

Inuyasha looked at his arm, which was already starting to heal because of his demon blood, and shrugged. "It's nothing. But you should-"

Kagome interjected before he could say anything further. "Thanks for your concern, but lets just focus on trying to get Wyatt out of this damn-darn! Darn cage."

"Ooo, Mommy said a bad word," Wyatt said in a sing-song voice.

"Sorry, Wyatt, it slipped."

Inuyasha smiled at his son. His son. He liked the sound of that. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. "How about I try to open it," he suggested. "I'm half demon, so maybe it won't repel me."

"You could give it a try," she said, hiding a smile and taking a step back.

Inuyasha stepped forward and hesitated for only a moment before taking a hold of the handle. But right when he did, he was thrown back, just like Kagome was, but not as far. He was thrown back a couple feet and landed on his butt.

Kagome watched him fly back and started to chuckle. Inuyasha's head shot up and he glared at her. Kagome stopped laughing and just smiled. "Sorry."

He got up and walked over to her. "You think it's funny that I got hurt?" Turning to Wyatt, he asked the same question.

Wyatt nodded and giggled.

Kagome watched as Wyatt interacted with his dad and smiled. Not an amused smile like before, but a genuine, happy, contented smile. Maybe this could work out between us. Maybe me and Yash could- She stopped that train of thought before she could even finish it. She shook her head slightly. No, don't think about that. Only one problem at a time. Wait...when did I start calling him Yash? Clearing her throat, she said, "Okay, now that you had to try, even though I knew it wouldn't work." She mumbled the last part under her breath, forgetting all about Inuyasha's hearing.

"What do you mean, you knew it wouldn't work?" Inuyasha snapped.

"Well, when we first shimmered here and I saw that Wyatt was still in the cage, I knew that something must be keeping him in or else he would have shimmered out. But I thought that that was it. It wasn't until I was thrown back, that I realized that it was keeping someone from getting in as well.

"You knew this, but let me try it anyway?"

"Well, I know how prideful you can get, so, yeah, I let you try."

Inuyasha shook his head. "You haven't changed a bit."

"And apparently, neither have you," she told him. Turning her attention back to the cage, she said, "We need to hurry up so we don't get caught." Kagome stared thoughtfully at the cage for a second, then flicked her wrists to blast the door. A little spark happened, then nothing. She tried again, but with more power. More sparks than the first try, but still ended with nothing happening. "Maybe you could help me out," she said to Inuyasha. "On the count of three, throw an energy ball at the handle, okay?"

"Yeah."

"One, two, three." Kagome blasted the door just as the energy ball hit. The door swung open.

"Oh, thank god!" Kagome exclaimed as Wyatt ran out. She picked him up and hugged him tight. "I'm so sorry that I let this happen to you." She walked over to Inuyasha. "Let's get out of here."

"Gladly." Inuyasha smiled and put his arms around them and shimmered back to the manor.
