The morning Sun peaked out from the trees on the outskirts of the village, prompting her inhabitants to wake and begin their daily chores. This was no different for the once-Shikon warriors; all but one that is. It was not unusual for InuYasha to be away from the village in the early morning hours, as he preferred to scout the forests surrounding the village for any threats over the mundane tasks of food preparation and animal husbandry the humans generally took part in during these early hours. Once the general tasks were completed and the group had finished preparing their meal however, they began to worry over the hanyo's tardiness.
Kagome gave out a humph, shaking her head as her arms crossed, "what do you think is taking him so long this time Miroku. I swear, If he keeps us so long that breakfast gets cold again, I'm going to sit him so hard..."
Miroku smiled gently as he stood from his spot on the floor, placing his hand on the girls shoulder reassuringly "Don't let your frustration over him taking his time to ask for your hand ruin your morning, our friend is likely waiting for the right time. I will go see what is taking him so long."
Kagome looked away blushing at being seen through as the monk stood. "Well, I wish he would stop pussyfooting around and just ask already."
Sango spoke up from her seat by the hearth as Miroku exited. "To be fair, Kagome, I'm pretty sure InuYasha thinks more deeply about things than he lets on. Give him some time to work through whatever is bothering him. I am certain it will make your marriage a stronger one."
The young girl sighed as she looked down dejectedly "Fine, I'll take your word for it, But if he takes forever on this" at this she looked up with a spark of agitation in her eyes as she shook her fist.
The other woman simply chuckled "I know, I know. I'm sure you won't have to wait to long Kagome, he clearly cares deeply for you, even if he can be suborn."

It did not take long for the monk to find his half demon friend, though it did leave him slightly worried. He had expected to find InuYasha gallivanting around the forest or scenting out some possible threat. Instead he found the hanyo up in his tree, sun at his back staring off into the distance as if troubled by something.
"You are late for breakfast my friend so I came to look for you. The girls seem a bit worried by your absence."
InuYasha snorted, barely shifting in his spot. " Don't worry Hoshi, I'm just keeping an eye out for any more of the demons I saw last night."
The monk shifted uncomfortably, bringing his free hand up to sit on his staff. "I don't sense any demons near by InuYasha."
"Nah, You probably wouldn't, they didn't seem to be the type you'd find wandering around in the daylight. probably found some holes or cracks to disappear into... whatever their kind do when you lose track of em."
"I see... is it something we should be worried about?"
"Nah, It's nothing for you to worry about hoshi. They aren't the kind who willingly get close to human settlements, let alone the kind who would attack."
The Monk visibly relaxed in his spot, "In that case, what would bring them this close to The Village?"
InuYasha nods off in the direction he is facing. "Something's got them riled up and is forcing them out of their own territories, so they're coming this way."

His eyes followed the direction intently "So that is the thing we should be Concerned with?"
"Like I said Hoshi, it's not for you to worry about."
"Well, if they are not something to worry about, perhaps you would like to come eat before breakfast gets cold."
InuYasha jumped down in one swift motion, his face unknowingly belying a bit of worry. "Yah, yah. I'm commin."

Upon entering Miroku's home, Kagome turned to look at the hanyo, smiling sweetly as she clasped her hands together. "InuYasha! We were so worried about you. when you didn't show up on time! What happened?"
The monk took his seat next to his wife, looking to Sango before beginning to fill bowls for everyone. "It would seem that a group of demons had passed by close to the village In the night. InuYasha was simply keeping a look out for anything else out of the ordinary."
At this, the Taja shifted in her seat, giving more attention to her husbands words, but it was the girl from the future who spoke up "That sounds bad, what if they are scouting the area?"
InuYasha snorted audibly, clearly annoyed by the conversation as a whole, but the hoshi continued "from our conversation, it would seem they are no threat. It's highly possible that it and the greater number of yoki attacks are linked however."
The group fell in to a relative silence as they ate, clearly contemplating the situation as it stands. Slowly, Sango looked to her husband in all seriousness "We may have to postpone starting our family."
Miroku opened his mouth to say something, but it was InuYasha who cut in first;" Look, it's not going to come to that okay. Whatever it is, it's not your problem, and I'll be damned if you get dragged into it."
There was a moment of silence before InuYasha slapped his face harshly, removing it to reveal the flattened form of the flea Mioga. "Damn it Gigi, What are you doing here?" agitation clearly lacing his voice.
"Oh Master InuYasha it's terrible!" the diminutive flea spoke as he wrung his tiny hands together. "Just terrible!"
"What is it Mioga what's goin on!?"
"A civil war has broken out in the Western Lands InuYasha. Several of the lesser houses have risen against your brother and seem to be gaining allies from other lands!"
InuYasha's face contorted with the news as he bit on his thumb "Damn it!"
"To make matters worse InuYasha, it is likely that they are planing on sending assassins here to kill you during the commotion."
"The Hell they are!" He stands abruptly, fire burning in his golden eyes as he turned to the door; "If they think I'm just gonna sit here and wait for them to try and kill me as they tear the west apart, they have another thing coming." The look he gives to flea as he jumps onto his shoulder giving away a hint of sadness at the news. "Whether the bastards want's my help or not, I'm not setting this out."
Kagome stood, calling out to InuYasha "wait!, why would they be trying to kill you?"
InuYasha looked over his shoulder to the girl, an odd look of displeasure in his eyes "Because I'm the heir to the Western Lands if Sesshomaru dies."

So, It took me a bit, but I finally got the next chapter out. I would really appreciate constructive criticism. This is a slower paced, more plot oriented story than my others and frankly, I don't feel as confident in it. As I have stated at another time on AFF, I mostly write fan-fiction to try and improve my fictional writing as a whole.

With that out of the way; yes, I am aware that I am having trouble with my tents. Simply put, I didn't want to sit on this chapter any longer. I hope it's it's not to grating on anyone's sensibilities.

Lastly, for anyone worried, this is DEFINITELY an Inucest story. I have always hated the dynamics of Kagome's relationship with InuYasha. The girl can be an absolute bitch to him.
