Chapter Twenty-Eight




Inuyasha stayed within the shadows outside of the small storage building. He had told Kagome he would get her son back and he damn well would. An unpleasant look filtered over his strong features as he remembered their conversation from earlier.


“We can’t leave this kind of thing up to them Inuyasha! We can’t. They’re going to let that asshole walk away. When he does we have to follow him.”

Inuyasha cringed at that.

“Oi! Woman you’re gonna go home and wait until I get back with news. I don’t want you anywhere near him. I’ll follow him and come straight back home.”

Kagome sputtered at his first declaration and completely ignored the home comment. She was too worried and exhausted to fight him on it. She only hoped he would slowly remember her. Maybe slowly he could remember their life together.

“Leave me?! NO! I will not be left while you go man hunting! What if you need help? What if you find Takeru?”

“Kagome…” He grabbed her and pulled her against his chest. He couldn’t stand to see the tears in her eyes. It broke another piece of him with each tear.

“I’m just going to check things out. I’m not going into a fight. I just have to go get information. Go home and be safe so I don’t have to worry about you. It will make my job easier ok?”


He had left her at the mansion with Aiso and Sesshomaru. So now he sat and waited. So far he had been out here waiting on this jackass to come back out for an hour. He was getting a little curious.

Inuyasha crawled a little closer to the building and listened. He thought he heard something but wasn’t sure. The container walls were so thick it was almost sound proof. He was turning away to leave when he heard the door open with a quiet click. He turned and stared in horror as a small bloody little body carefully stepped down the steps. The little boy was completely naked and carrying a tightly wrapped bundle over his shoulder.

Inuyasha stepped towards him before he even thought and stopped short again when the small child growled deep in his throat. He carefully laid the bundle down before stepping threateningly towards him. Inuyasha was stunned as he stared into the destroyed face of his son. Takeru was shaking and obviously having trouble moving his arms and legs around. His feet were spread on either sides of the bundle and Inuyasha could see tufts of black hair popping out of the top.

“Takeru? What are you doing?”  He was careful to use as steady a voice as he could muster as he slowly moved closer to the emaciated boy. Takeru lifted his hands to ward him off and Inuyasha could see from yards away that all his fingers were missing their claws. His face was bloody and covered in gore. His head was a stubbled mess and his ears were nowhere to be seen.

“Home. Mama.” His small voice was gravely and loud in the quiet of the area. He maneuvered his arms underneath the bundle and started back towards the road.

Inuyasha loped towards him so that Takeru could hear him coming and not get startled.

“Son? Where’s Shinju? Where’s the people that took you?” Takeru stopped again and his small shoulders slumped.

“Bastard is in the freezer. He can stay there. Shinju needs a doctor an im gonna get her one.” He gestured with the bundle and Inuyasha realized that the bundle was the little girl. He couldn’t see her face. He was terrified of what that meant and why Takeru was so very calm about it all.

“Let me pick you up and I’ll run us to the hospital. Can you keep a good hold on her?”

“I’ve got her.”

Inuyasha ignored the deep breath as his hands came in contact with the bruises on Takeru. His small body trembled as he kept the pain in check. He wouldn’t show his pain to Inuyasha.

He’d felt far worse.


*****

Kagome curled her hand around Inuyashas neck and sobbed until she couldn’t breathe. He had called her immediately upon making it to the hospital. He’d tried to warn her, tried to protect her from what she couldn’t handle. It still hadn’t prepared her for the damage, all the pain and suffering the injuries had to have caused. Takeru was getting x-rays done to check for any more broken bones. He had broken ribs and a broken arm. His internal injuries were minimal but he didn’t seem to care. He kept asking about Shinju. He had not let anyone take care of him until she was being seen. The nurses had figured out very quickly that the only way to get him to do anything was to bribe him with visits in Shinju’s room.

Her injuries were far more severe. Frostbite had set in and caused damage to her extremities. The doctors still weren’t sure if she would ever have feeling in them at all. They were keeping her in a forced coma to insure time for her body to heal.

Sango was dividing her time between Shinju and Mirokus rooms. Rin was helping her and keeping her updated at all times on both of them.

Kagome had held her emotions in until she was alone with Inuyasha before she broke. Her baby boy had been tortured and was scarred for the rest of his life. She knew there was no way to fix it, no way to turn back time and give both of them their childhood back.

For now she hoped that they made it through this. Tomorrow they could worry about what step to take next.

For now she would let Inuyasha hold her.

For now he could be her safe place.
