~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jou sat outside watching as the young children played, Miroku glanced up at the sky, his head in Jou's lap, Jou stroked the black hair absently, keeping a watchful eye on the children. Chelle was chasing a young Necromancer around, the two giggling, Deriven, a young Kitsune was sparring with another Kitsune, the two practicing their magic, Deriven rolled forwards, a serious look of concentration on his face as he swiped at the other, "Fox Fire!" Malka rolled to the side, she hopped up, away from the blast, bouncing on the balls of her feet lightly as she moved to attack, Miroku sat up, Jou smiled,

"going inside?" Miroku shook his head,

"no, but, I was falling asleep." Jou nodded,

"oh, Kitsunes sure are different, they rely on magic instead of muscle." A voice came from behind Jou,

"and you think there's something wrong with that?" Jou stood, whirling around a smile on his face,

"Shippo!" He hugged the male, then pulled back, he looked him over, then smiled, "you got your fourth tail, that's amazing, good for you." The male smiled,

"thanks Jou, you're looking good too, is InuYasha around, I'm actually here on a messenger trip." Jou nodded, then let out a shrill whistle, a few moments later InuYasha emerged from the orphanage and tackled the fox demon,

"Shippo! What a surprise, with the third and fourth tails, last time I saw you you only had two, what's up?"

"oh, Shippo, you remember Miroku, his mine and 'Yasha's mate." Shippo blinked,

"your's and Yasha, what, who, when, how, what?!" InuYasha chuckled,

"almost a week ago, yep, speaking of mate's where's yours?" Shippo rolled his eyes,

"probably pick-pocketing again, right, message, oh, what was it." He frowned, looking down, he placed a hand on his chin, thinking, Jou chuckled,

"you think know?" Shippo whapped him on the arm, but smiled, his green eyes lighting, he brushed his nearly shoulder length fire red hair behind his ear and sighed,

"there...you...are." A male slowed, he bent down, his hands on his knees he gasped in air, his hair was black and cut in a way to rival Miroku's style, was dressed in a blueish-purple kimono, it had pink and white Sakuras on it and he straightened after a moment, still gathering air, "you run too fast."

"No, you take your time to look around too often." A mix of blue, green and grey eyes met emerald green, Shippo smiled, ruffling up the black hair, "now, what was the message?" It was whispered to him, he nodded, "right, Inu, I'm only doing this because I was told to and paid to." Shippo shut his eyes, a ripple ran over his form as it shifted, his hair elongated and bled into black, his black almost leather like pants shifted to a baggy red to match InuYasha's own, his red shirt vanished for a white one and when his head was lifted it was that of a female, black eyes stared at InuYasha. The Hanyou growled softly,

"Kikyou!" His hand fisted, Shippo/Kikyou spoke,

"InuYasha, we must speak, meet me, you know where, I'll be there tomorrow, don't avoid me or I will seek you out." Shippo once again regained his form, shaking his head slightly, "I'm sorry, but, under threat of death and with a lot of mon-"

"I understand Shippo, you don't have to explain or justify it, it's your job." Mai, Otogi and Ryou ran out of the orphanage, each one with a pen and a pad of paper, Mai reached the five first,

"you're Nobunaga, can I have your autograph." Jou surpressed a chuckle,

"uh, Mai, he's-" She cut him off with a glare and the black haired male shrugged then took the pen and paper, Jou, InuYasha and Miroku, shared a look and a smile, with a big smile she took the paper and glanced at it, then blinked, her mouth dropping open and her eyes going wide,

"Nobunaga Omari....you're not Obi!" She faced him accusingly, the boy scowled,

"who, my brother, he's no one special." She wacked him on the shoulder,

"Nobunaga Obi was one of the greatest leaders Japan has ever seen and you say he's no one special, ooohhh!" Each word was emphasised with a wack on the arm, "ONE OF THE GREATEST LEADERS!"

Shippo shoved her back,

"back off!" She faced the Kitsune,

"who're you to stop me?" He growled softly,

"I'm Omari's mate, now, I've asked nicely, you try that again, I'll kill you." She sighed,

"sorry, just, bye." The three walked off and Omari straightened his clothes,

"great leader, really?" The three who'd been in the future nodded, he raised a brow,

"huh, interesting." Malka tugged on Shippo's arm, he turned, then smiled,

"how can I help you young pup?"

"How long'd it take for you to get your four tails?" Shippo smiled,

"I worked really hard, trained with my sensei everyday, I had two when I really started cracking down, I just finished my training a month ago and I started nearly ten years ago." Her eyes widened,

"wow, that's a long time, I only have one, but, I'm old, no one believes me." Shippo nodded,

"I know, you don't start getting bigger until you get your tails, you get stronger too, did your mom and dad ever tell you that?"

"Uh-huh, how old were you before you started getting you tails?" Shippo paused,

"When I finally got my second I was nearly fourty, why?" She pouted,

"I'm nineteen." Shippo crouched down,

"well, the younger the better, you learn faster, you'll get your tails faster." She nodded, plopping onto the grass,

"uh-huh, can you do anything different?"

"Well, what can you do?"

"I can do Fox Fire, I can shape shift, I can warn and I can seal." Shippo nodded,

"well, I can do all that, I can also do Earth Shaker, Vanish and Mirror."

"Wow, my dad showed me Mirror once, it was cool, when there was five of him." Shippo nodded, she stood, "well, I need to go, bye!" She ran off and Shippo stood,

"cute." InuYasha nodded, Miroku was whispering to Jou, the Hanyou was giggling, nodding, Miroku pulled back with a smirk and Jou smirked as well, InuYasha faced them,

"what?" Jou shook his head,

"nothing." Miroku giggled and InuYasha raised a brow and sighed,

"uh-huh, Shippo, come on in, dinner's almost ready."

~~~

InuYasha sat eating silently, Jou placed a hand on his shoulder, the white haired male looked at him, Jou sat down, "it's about Kikyou isn't it." InuYasha sighed,

"it makes no sense, why now, how'd she know I was back, but, why now, I think it might be a trap." Jou nodded eating his stew,

"want me to come with you?"

"Miroku too." Jou nodded,

"of course, we should tell Kyami." InuYasha nodded,

"we will."

~~~

InuYasha stood in the middle of the forest, Jou and Miroku were hiding in a tree, he was armed with his Tetseugia, as well as two knives. Wind rustled the leaves and finally she stepped into the small clearing, stopping at the tree she, herself had sealed InuYasha to. Her eyes narrowed, "so, you decided to come, a wise choice." He crossed his arms,

"I came, now, why did you ask me to come here?" She laughed, the sound chilling InuYasha to the bone,

"such a foolish question, can you not figure it out, or do I need to help you along?" InuYasha growled, but a scent on the wind made him recoil,

"Naraku, you carry his scent, why?!" She smiled,

"he has provided me with the souls I seek for my life, he has renewed me in ways that no one could have, for that I am eternally in his debt and in repayment I give him what he yearns." InuYasha took a step back,

"your body, you let him use you so, Kikyou, why?"

"I have told you, I am also his messenger, he wished me to tell you that you cannot protect the others, it is useless, you will all die, you cannot escape the clutches of Naraku-sama. That is all, be prepared, and look for me, I will see you again soon."

Without another word her soul collectors snaked about her and she vanished, InuYasha lowered his head in defeat, then collapsed to his knees, Jou and Miroku ran to him, moving beside him to embrace him. They said nothing, knowing that words wouldn't help, the three just remained embraced, allowing InuYasha to pour out all of his bottled pain and sorrow, tears flowing freely down his cheeks as he sobbed hopelessly into his hands.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There we go, yes, I made InuYasha cry, yes it was ove Kikyou who I said would not be in this story, I know, I know. Just, I needed someone who was close to InuYasha to work with Naraku, so, Kikyou came up, yep, Shippo's lover is Nobunaga, great ain't it? Uh, the tail = aging thing I heard somewhere, so I put it in, also the Earth Shaker, Mirror and Vanish, made up, yup yup, not real, I needed more majicks, so, I gave him those, by the way, it's not spelt wrong, it's spelt properly, in the Olde English way
