Chapter
12:� Back to the Office

Inu Yasha warily escorted Kagome down to
Sesshomaru�s car.� His brother had
called and demanded that she be ready to go in with him because of some special
client.� He was not sure why he would
need their mate with him for this.� Who
could the client be that would warrant this?�
He sighed and gave Kagome a smile when she glanced up at him to ease any
worries she had.� That was the last
thing he wanted was for her to stress out any more than she had been.

When his brother pulled up, they tucked
Kagome into the passenger seat.

�Get
in, Inu Yasha.� You will need to start
working now that you will be living in this time,� Sesshomaru said bluntly but
not unkindly.

�Uh�
Thanks,� Inu Yasha responded, not sure if this would be a good thing or not.

He climbed into the back seat after
checking the switches on the door.� He
would not be suckered a second time.� No
way!� It was humiliating and irritating
the first time; there would be no second time around on that one.� Damn child locks.� The inventor should be shot, or better yet, meet his Iron Reaver
Soul Stealer attack.

They rode to the office peacefully with
Kagome asking who was there.

�Come
on.� You can go ahead and tell me.� I just want to know who I will be staying
with at the office while you do whatever you have to do on this case.� What type of a case is it?� What does he need from you?��

Her questions and pleading were met with a
mere �Hn� from Sesshomaru and blank looks from Inu Yasha.

�� They finally pulled up to the
building that held Sesshomaru�s office.�
It was a stand alone building but still really close to main steam
traffic despite it slightly hidden front.�
Kagome admired the plants that made the front look very inviting and
quaint.� She had planted the climbing
rose vines that were on either side of the door.� They had only grown a few inches but were doing very well.� She felt the yellow buds, when they showed
themselves, would add a lot of character to the greenery and white azaleas planted
nearby as well as the other plants she was planting and planning to add.

�� They all stepped inside, and
immediately Inu Yasha was on guard.�
There was a very familiar scent in the air.� One that he was surprised to smell once again.

�� Kagome studied the demon that was
standing at the desk and looking around.�
He was rather on the short side of average height but with a finely
sculpted, slender build.� She knew he
was strong from the muscle tone she could see, and his demonic aura was
heightened.� She knew he was wearing a
concealment, but there was something familiar.

�� He turned around, and she knew who
it was immediately.

�Shippo!�
she nearly squealed and ran up to him, pulling him into a tight hug.

�� Her hug was returned with bone
crushing strength that was loosened a few seconds later.

�How
are you Kagome?� Wow.� I always knew you would be a pretty mama,
and you will be excellent at that.�
After all, you managed me and Inu Yasha for years.� May I?��
He spoke to her with a spark of happiness and relief that was
overshadowed by worry and sadness.

�I�m
fine.� Here, go ahead,� she said,
pulling his hand and placing it on her belly that was becoming obvious.

�� He grinned and stroked over the
mound with wonder that there was a baby in there, particularly one that Inu
Yasha had helped create.� They had
always fought, but it was their way they related and got along.� It was fun.�
It had also helped toughened him for life.� Inu Yasha had raised him along with the rest of the pack.

�� When he looked up, he almost
swallowed his tongue.� There, standing
in the doorway and watching him, was Inu Yasha.� He shook his head and closed his eyes, but he was still there.� He pinched himself again just to be
sure.� Yup, still there.

�How�
When� Who�� he stumbled over what questions to ask.� Inu Yasha had no trouble with that department though.

�Hi
squirt.� How much trouble have you been
in without me?�

�I�ve
mated and had 4 pups.� In fact, that�s
why I am here.� The next to youngest has
run away, again,� he responded, not sure what to do right now.� Inu Yasha�s next action caught him off
guard.� He walked up to him and noogied
his head.

�Hey!� Stop that!� Shippo yelled out.�

Kagome just laughed before fussing at them
sweet naturedly.� �Stop that, Inu Yasha,
or I will need to use the s** word.� You
remember.� Just like how I used to stop
your fights.�

�We
need to go, Inu Yasha.� You stay here
with Shippo, Kagome.� Shippo, watch
after her and make sure she rests.� She
hasn�t been out of the hospital for too long,� Sesshomaru ordered while heading
back out of the door and to his car.

�� Inu Yasha followed and got in the
passenger seat.� Not a word was said for
a few minutes until the silence was broken.

�We�re
looking for Shippo�s kid, huh?�

�Yes,
but we are going to take care of those ears first,� was his response.

�Huh?� I�m already wearing a hat,� Inu Yasha argued
futilely.

�� There was no response as Sesshomaru
pulled up to a store that was out of the way and hidden.� He parked and got out, going to the door without
another word.

�� Inu Yasha muttered to himself about
his brother then quickly jumped out of the car and followed his brother in.

�� Behind the counter was a lizard
demon with a snake demon walking around, looking over the goods for sale.� Sesshomaru walked over to the counter where
there were several rings, bracelets and necklaces.�

�Come.� You need to pick out something.�

�� Inu Yasha tentatively stepped to the
counter and began to look at what his brother was standing over.� He picked up a necklace that was similar to
the tooth and bone one that bound him and Kagome together for years.� It was made of wooden beads and stones.� There were four stones in the front and the rest
of the string had wooden beads.

�I
like this one,� he said uncertainly, handing it to Sesshomaru.� His brother paid the lizard demon silently
and headed out the door without barely another word other than the polite have
a good day.

�Put
it on, Inu Yasha,� he instructed.

�� Inu Yasha slipped it on and looked
in the mirror on the sun visor.� His
hair was still its silver color, but his ears looked like normal human ears,
his nails also looked like they did on his human nights.� He could definitely blend in except for the
color of his hair, but in this time, several people dyed their hair strange
colors.� He had seen that when he came
to this era with Kagome during their travels.

He grinned as he studied his reflections,
making the occasional odd face in it much to his brother�s amusement.

�You
still have all of your powers and senses as in your regular form; it is just
concealed.� Now, we have to start
tracking his movements.� He usually just
blends in around the city for a few days before trying to get out to give
police and myself time to stop watching them.�
We will start in room,� Sesshomaru said without even once taking his
eyes off of the road.

�� They rode in companionable
silence.� Sesshomaru was theorizing
about different possibilities and different places to search.� He made a mental checklist of each place to
check where he could blend in.� Parks
and shopping centers and other crowded places that several teenagers would be
at were at the top of his list.

Inu Yasha, on the other hand, was thinking
about the days that he, Kagome and the others quested to complete the jewel.� He always wanted to protect them and take
care of his pack.� He rushed into
battle, hoping to finish it before they had to join in.� It was hard accepting that he had to have
that help, but it was comforting and warming that he had loved ones there that would
always come for him, to help him.

�� He was still amazed that Shippo was
here although it made perfect sense that he would live this long.� It was hard not to look at him and see the
little kit that he had antagonized into adolescence.� He had been young himself, too young to know how to raise a
kit.� Kagome had been in the same
situation, but with her natural instinct and guidance, Shippo had made it to
maturity to pass along to his own kits.�
He had had no true purpose at the time for being so rough with him, but
he knew he had helped toughen him up and even given him a sense of humor and
the ability to have fun.� He had to
wonder why this kid kept running though.�
Surely Shippo, his pack�s little mischievous Shippo, hadn�t changed that
much over the years.� He would have to
settle his curiosity later when he had the boy in hand.

�� He sighed.� He couldn�t wait to hold his pup and raise it with Kagome.� He help back a grin.� He obviously would have help with that too from
a source he would have never thought about until much later.� Sesshomaru would be just as much of a dad as
he would in the stakes of raising this baby.

�� He knew that he and Sesshomaru had
this one chance to reform what should have been their pack with Kagome.� He and his brother had had a reconciliation
of sorts without really ever solving much as he was put under that spell.� Lots of lives and those of their decedents
of his loved ones had been devoted to trying to contain him.� It was a lot to swallow.� He knew that Kagome would tell him flat out
that he had two choices.� Wallow in that
knowledge, or make restitution for all that he had cost his pack members.� His only question was how to do the
latter.� It sounded like what he should
do and needed to do, but how to go about it was a real problem.� Right now, all he could do was to take care
and love his mate.� That was it.� He knew that would be what Sango would be
telling him to do with either her words or her harikotsu.� Miroku would be advising him to take care of
Kagome as well while making his head lumpy with his own weapon of choice.� Maybe he should talk to Shippo about it as
he was there and traveled with them.� He
might be able to advice him.

�� He sighed and set his thoughts aside
for the moment and noticed that Sesshomaru was parking at a house that was
surrounded by trees and as inconspicuous as possible.

�� They both got out and walked up to
the house before entering in the unlocked front door.� A female kitsune was sitting at the table, staring at a cordless
phone.

�� She started when she realized that
someone was in her house.

�Oh,
hi Sesshomaru and uh� ummm� I�m afraid I don�t know you.�

�I�m
Inu Yasha.�� At his name, her eyes took
over her face, and she jumped up.

�The
Inu Yasha?� she gasped.

�Um�
I guess so.�

�The
one that raised Shippo and defeated Naraku?�

�Yes.�

�I
can�t believe it.� My mate talks about
you quite a bit.� He mostly tells
stories about your pack from when you all were collecting jewel shards and tracking
Naraku.� He tells us about Sango and
Miroku and little tales about everything that happened.� Our kids grew up with those tales as their
bed time stories.�

�� Inu Yasha was surprised at this
information unlike Sesshomaru who already knew this.� He had been the one to tell tales about when Inu Yasha was
little.� They were always a hit and
enjoyed.� But, Shippo had a real flair
for telling stories that captivated any audience.

�We
are going up to Juji�s room for a minute, Minka.� Inu Yasha can help, but he needs to gather his scent.�

�� She nodded and returned to her
staring contest with the phone.�
Sesshomaru wanted to whack that insolent pup upside the head for doing
this to his own mother.� The kit was
loved and only had crappy reasons for leaving.�
He also believed that there was more to it than he ever found out.� He looked at his little brother.� Maybe he could find out more about this and
fix whatever it was that was broken.

�� The brothers looked around the room
and rooted for anything that would give them an idea of where to begin
looking.� Inu Yasha spied under the bed
and snooped into the art book that was tucked there.� Inside there were several drawings using colored pencils,
charcoal and other implements.� He flipped
through until he saw a charcoal drawing that shocked him with its perfectly
captured features.� It was a picture of
him embracing Kagome while she laid her head into his shoulder.� A scene that had happened a thousand times
and that he had believed nobody was a witness too.� She was so young in it.�
It was in the beginning of their adventures.� He knew then and there that Shippo had to help this kit draw
this.� That was the only way he could
have gotten every detail of not only their physical features but their
expressions as well.� He smiled when he
saw how blissfully happy Kagome�s face looked as she was nestled into his arms.

�� He quickly and carefully slid the
book back under the bed into its hiding place before racing out of the room,
following after Sesshomaru.

�I
know where to start,� was all he said as he jumped into his car and headed away
from the house.

~*~*~*~
Shippo and Kagome

�� Shippo watched this woman that sat
across from him.� He remembered her in
so many great details from his childhood.�
She had inadvertently shaped him into the adult he was today, effectively
changing how all demons and humans interacted.

�� He had done everything he could to
make demons see the worth of humans, and the inevitability that they would not
be able to keep their control and lordship over them.� He had used a lot of the tools and knowledge that Kagome had
given him to prove his point.

�� That really scared a lot of demons.

�� Some demons had not been worried
about a world ruled by humans, but most had feared it.� Only a few found it unbelievable.� As the years, decades and centuries passed,
Shippo�s claims were proven true.� The
whole reason why the demons concealed themselves were for their survival.� They knew humans would hunt them down.� Some believed that the demon race would be
hunted into extinction.� Slowly, they
concealed their identities and integrated themselves into the world and watched
as the human race began to over populate the demon race.

�� Kagome smiled at him when she
noticed he was deep in thought.� �I was
the one that released Inu Yasha,� she said simply, not really knowing his
thoughts.

�� When he didn�t really respond, she
continued to talk.� �I missed him so
much.� I can�t imagine how terrible it
was after I was gone.� I know there was
a lot of destruction and horror from his demon form, but you know he isn�t like
that.� I know it bothers him, but he
hasn�t said or done anything about it.��
She looked up at him.� There was
a tinge of sadness that broke her heart.�
�Don�t worry about your son too much.�
I am sure that they will find him safe and sound.� If he is anything like you, he will be just
fine and will be back.� What did you
name him?�

�Juji,�
Shippo responded.

�� Both occupants of the room jumped
when the phone rang.

�Hello?�

�Tell
Shippo to go home, and you stay at the office,� Sesshomaru ordered blandly.

�Did
you find him?�

�� There was a pause before he
answered.� �Yes.�

�� Kagome did as he told her to do and
got comfortable at the desk when Shippo left after locking the front door.�� She wasn�t going to sit there in an empty
building alone without some kind of protection.� She got up and paced before settling onto the couch in the office
room and turning on the TV.
