Disclaimer: I do not own anything Inuyasha, though I wish I did. *pouts* I do, in fact, own any of my own characters. I make absolutely no money from writing these stories. It is purely for enjoyment!
A/N: Welcome back, fellow Inuyasha lovers! I decided to post chapter 4 shortly after posting the previous one, considering I have some time in order to write between rehearsals and classes. This chapter ended up being really long, so I cut it down into two chapters. I also will be getting back surgery in about two months, so until then, I will post stories as quickly as I can, but while I’m in recovery, I will have about two months or so of free time to write, so chapters should be up more frequently. I’m super excited about this story! I’m hoping some big things will come of it. Also, reviews are welcomed!
Note: This story contains graphic language, violence, and sexual situations. No readers under 18, please!

Chapter 4 – Bad Ideas
“How long do you think you’ll be gone?” Sango asked.
“I’m not sure, just a few days,” the young miko responded. “These tests are very important. I need to pass them in order to graduate.”
“You need to go back to your time to study them?”
“Yeah, I won’t have a certain hanyou there to distract me. I miss my family, anyway. I haven’t seen them in about a month.”
“That’s understandable. I wouldn’t want to be away from my family long, either,” Sango said. She looked down at the ground, avoiding the Kagome’s gaze. She still missed her family, which would be expected when one loses them. She lost her mother at an early age, so she didn’t know her very well. But her father…she loved him. He could be a little stern at times when it came to her lessons and training, but she knew, deep inside, he loved her. The twinkle in his eyes whenever he saw her said exactly that. She missed him severely. She missed his rare hugs. They were warm and ever so loving. She missed the way he’d say, ‘That’s my girl. You’re doing great’ whenever she excelled in her training. Though he wasn’t the most affectionate, she could tell how much she meant to him, and knew how much he meant to her. Her brother, Kohaku, though…that was another story. They were very close, and whenever they had a problem, they’d come to each other. He was as close to a perfect brother as one could get, and she cherished him with all she had. When Naraku used Kohaku to kill their father and fellow taijiya, that day became her biggest nightmare. Once her brother tried to kill her, she almost welcomed death, but she needed to try to stop, and save, Kohaku. The worst part about it was, when Kohaku was resurrected, he was then in the hands of Naraku, a slave to the twisted Hanyou’s mind. When Naraku removed the jewel shard from his back the day of the final battle, Kohaku no longer was able to hold onto life. Sure, she had been upset, but after her hours and hours of crying, she accepted the fact that his soul was free from Naraku’s evil ways. He was free to be at peace. Yet, not a day goes by that she doesn’t think about her long lost family and village, but she had accepted that it had happened, and the only thing she could do is move forward with her life.
Kagome saw the look on her friend’s face and the little trace of water building up in her eyes. She pulled the taijiya into a strong embrace, resting her chin on her friend’s shoulder. “You know, losing people you love is never easy, but they’ve found peace. Their souls are happy, now. It’s sad being away from them, yes, but try to be happy knowing that they will always be with you. And besides,” she continued. “You still have family. A small, awkward dysfunctional family…” Sango giggled between sniffles. Kagome smiled. “…and we will always be here for you.”
Once they released from their embrace, Sango looked at Kagome with a small smile on her lips. “Thank you. I’ve always wanted a sister, anyway.”
“So have I,” Kagome grinned back. “I really do need to get going, though. Don’t worry, I won’t be gone too long.”
“Okay, just try to return as soon as you’re able. We all know how Inuyasha gets when you’re not around. He throws tantrums and lashes out at anyone who tries to say even a word to him.”
Kagome rolled her eyes. “He’s just being a drama queen.”
“Huh?” Sango asked, looking at her with a confused gaze.
“Nothing, it’s just an expression from my time. I’ll be back soon!” And with that, Kagome jumped into the well as a large light of blue, purple, and black emanated from inside.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Inuyasha sat with Miroku at the base of a tree in the forest, not too far from Kaede’s hut. The hanyou was having trouble paying attention to what Miroku was saying, as he was continually zoning in and out from his own thoughts.
“Don’t you agree, Inuyasha?” The monk asked, not realizing that he didn’t have the hanyou’s attention.
“Keh, sure.”
“So when are you going to do it?” Miroku questioned, turning his gaze from further into the forest to his friend.
“Do what?”
“Admit your feelings to Kagome. Will you be doing it once she comes back from her tests?”
Inuyasha froze. He wasn’t paying attention. He didn’t know what the monk had said, and most of the time, he just didn’t care. But this…this was a subject that got his attention, which he had tried to avoid for a very, very long time. His feelings for the girl-turned-woman had been held inside. Nothing was definite for his future, whether his fate be with Kagome in life or Kikyou in hell. Either way, he didn’t want to take the chance. Until Kikyou finds peace, he cannot vow his life and love for Kagome. Sure, he had promised, at least to himself, to protect Kagome for as long as she will let him. But, he had also promised Kikyou he would always protect her. He avenged her death by killing Naraku. What he wasn’t expecting was that after the battle, she was still determined to take him to hell with her. So, until she was finally peacefully put to rest, Inuyasha could make no commitment to the woman he so deeply loved. It was at this trail of thought that he realized he had openly admitted to himself that he loved her. ‘Love? What about Kikyou? When did I stop loving her?’ He was confused beyond belief, but his love for Kagome was undeniable, no matter how much he tried to shove that feeling so far back in his head in his desperate attempt to prevent him to admit such a thing. Yet, it was still there, growing every day that she was nearby.
“Not happening, monk,” he said.
“You just said you would finally tell her,” Miroku responded.
“Keh. I wasn’t actually paying attention.”
Miroku rolled his eyes. “Of course you weren’t. But, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it.”
“Feh. Not the right time, anyway.”
“What do you mean, ‘not the right time’?” The monk tilted his head slightly in a questioning manner.
“Keh. Forget it,” Inuyasha answered. He turned his head away to hide the slight blush that crept upon his cheeks.
“It is because of Kikyou, am I correct?”
Inuyasha turned back to face his friend. He got mere inches away from his face before he said, “None of your business, monk”, jumped into the trees and leapt away. Miroku sighed, knowing full well how he was lucky to even get that much out of the hanyou. His friend was always incredibly stubborn, as well as secretive about his emotions. Although he knew deep inside that Inuyasha considered them friends, maybe even brothers, on the inside, he would never, ever in a million years voice it. He smiled.
Standing up and heading back towards the village, he continued to wonder about the kidnapping. ‘Who was he?’ Miroku knew that this person, whoever they may be, had some sort of plan. Inuyasha mentioned that she smelled like a man, a scent that he couldn’t specifically place. Miroku’s main concern is what he wanted with Kagome and why he didn’t take the jewel. ‘There are only two logical explanations,’ he thought. ‘Either he wants to use the jewel at a later time, and use Kagome along with it. Or…,’ his eyes widened. ‘…he just wants Kagome’. The monk had come to think of her as a little sister over the years, even if he had peeked at her once or twice or ten times bathing with the love of his life. The thought of someone stealing her and ra…taking advantage of her…tore him from the inside, out. Hopefully, it was just a one-time capture with a plan by someone who had specific plans as to what he was going to do to the girl, and not a continual plan as he suspected. It was very common for women to be captured and raped in this era. They were either killed after, or left to perish from a broken soul. Luckily, Inuyasha had gotten there before anything had happened to the young miko. He was completely against all type of rape, but it did seem odd that this was a full youkai capturing a human woman, miko powers included or not. That was just rarely heard of. Also, Kagome, as well as the others, were fairly well-known, due to their defeat of Naraku. It would not be a surprise if this person was plotting something. He visibly cringed and hope to Kami he was wrong.
Once arriving at Kaede’s, Inuyasha was nowhere to be found. Miroku knew exactly where the hanyou was: perched up on one of the high branches of Goshinboku. Whenever Kagome left for her time, he would sit up in the tree, sulking for days without sleeping, waiting for her to return. He smirked, knowing how obvious it was that Inuyasha cared about her and just wanted her to be with him at all times of the day. He never liked to leave her side. Now, why can’t Kagome see it?
Miroku was pulled from his musings when he found himself in Kaede’s hut, not truly remembering walking in. Kaede had asked him where Sango was.
“She walked Kagome to the well,” he responded.
“Ah, yes. She mentioned having to take a test, did she not?”
“Yes. She needs to study.”
Kaede looked back at the bowl before her and began crushing herbs again. Ever since the first time that the group was brought back injured from a battle, she knew that keeping a stock of potions and herbal treatments was a smart idea. There have been numerous times when they have crashed into her hut, yelling for her assistance when one of them was injured. There were many times when the care they needed was immediate, so she would always have to rush to make a remedy to help. Now, she kept a stock of different varieties of treatments for the future.
Suddenly, a red and silver figure barged into the hut very inelegantly and plopped down beside the fire, next to Miroku.
“Got any food, old hag?” Inuyasha spat out.
“Watch your tongue, boy. The stew will be ready soon. Why don’t ye go and retrieve more water?”
“I ain’t your slave, woman.”
Shippou skipped into the hut with a giant smile on his face. He had been playing with the children of the village all afternoon, and he was exhausted. Although he was a youkai, running around for hours playing freeze tag and hide and seek could tire anyone out. He was hungry and his little legs needed a break.
“Hi, Kaede! Whatcha makin’?” Shippou asked.
“Hello, child. I am making rabbit stew. It is almost finished,” Kaede replied.
Shippou nodded and sat next to Kaede, across the fire from the hanyou and monk.
“Where did Kagome go?” Shippou asked everyone, but was internally directing it towards Inuyasha.
“She went back home. She should return in a few days,” Sango said, pushing the door mat aside and stepping into the hut.
“Can we stop fucking talk about her leaving?! She left, we get it. Now shut the fuck up!”
The group fell silent. Sango furrowed her brows and glared daggers at the hanyou. He hadn’t mean to burst out like that, but he knew, as did all of them, that he became very easily irritated when Kagome wasn’t around to put him in his place. Her calm aura soothed him, wrapping around him like a warm blanket in the middle of winter. It relaxed him and make him feel at peace. Being near her made his heart feel like it was melting, and that, he was perfectly okay with.
At that point, Inuyasha pushed away his thoughts to glare back at Sango. It was then that he and Shippou noticed the slight tinge of sadness in her aura, but wisely said nothing. While Inuyasha decided to not comment on it, knowing that it wasn’t any of his business, Shippou wasn’t as wise.
“Sango,” Shippou said, walking up to the now sitting taijiya and putting his hand on her knee, he continued, “are you okay?”
Sango looked down, plastering on a small, but genuine smile. “Yes, Shippou, I am fine.”
Miroku cleared his throat, drawing Sango’s attention. He saw her slightly red, puffy eyes and took a mental note to ask her about it later. He knew that now, around everyone, was not the time. Then, he turned back to Kaede, who began pouring the stew into separate bowls.
“Kaede, may I ask a question of you?”
“Yes, ye may.”
“When Inuyasha found Kagome, she still had the jewel around her neck. If someone wanted her to get to the jewel, would they not have taken it by then?”
Kaede raised an eyebrow and began serving the stew. “That is an interesting point,” she replied. The air was thick with tension.
Glancing quickly at the hanyou, then back at the old miko, Miroku continued, “I’m wondering…do you think he wasn’t after the jewel?”
This statement caught Inuyasha’s attention. His head shot up and stared at the monk, wide-eyed. “What are you saying, monk?”
“I’m merely wondering what he could be after,” Miroku replied. Truthfully, Miroku didn’t want to actually spell it out for Inuyasha. An idea such as this was sure to anger the hanyou, and Miroku didn’t feel like dealing with those repercussions. Turning back to Kaede he said, “I know that we are well-known around the land because of our defeat of Naraku. I am wondering if someone is targeting us. Maybe they were upset about Naraku’s demise, or they are trying to challenge us. I’m not sure about their motives. I was wondering if you had any ideas.”
“Inuyasha, will ye please exit for a few moments?”
“Hell, no. Whatever you gotta say in front of him, you can say in front of me.”
“Inuyasha, ye may not like this conversation.”
“Spit it out, old woman!”
She sighed. She had gotten used to handling Inuyasha’s anger over the years, but that didn’t mean she welcomed it. She turned back to Miroku in an attempt to avoid eye contact with Inuyasha.
“Kagome was found naked, am I right?” Miroku nodded, Inuyasha growled. She sighed, again. “I am not sure what his motive is. It is merely an idea. But I do believe there is a possibility that he wanted to…take advantage of her.”
Everyone understanding what exactly she meant, all that could be heard was a gasp from Sango, a low, intimidating growl from Inuyasha, a small wail from Shippou, while Miroku merely nodded.
“That is my fear,” he said. “I was also thinking this.”
“We should take turns keeping an eye on her. There should always been at least one of us with her,” Sango commented. The fear for her friend radiated in her voice. Then, she turned to Miroku, and with a slight glare, she said, “and I will be the ONLY one to accompany her to the hot springs, as usual.”
Miroku sighed. He was so misunderstood.
When Miroku turned to hear, frightfully, what Inuyasha had to say about this, he saw nothing except the side of the hut where Inuyasha had been leaning. Everyone else’s eyes followed, and saw him missing. It was no surprise to anyone that he had already left.
‘Stupid wench. You always get yourself into trouble, don’t you? Keh!’ Silently, in the depths of his mind, he admitted to himself that he loved protecting her. He sometimes even wished she remained untrained as a miko and oblivious to the power she had, so that she would continuously rely on him to protect her. Then, she’d have a reason to stay by his side. He shook off the thought. She deserved to train if she wanted, or leave if she wanted. It wasn’t his choice. His ears flattened onto his head. He didn’t deserve to have a woman like her remain with him.
He raced towards the well, determined to go and get her, or at least make sure she was safe. He didn’t like not knowing what she was doing or wondering if she was okay. He would go and get her, she’d be happy that he came, and she’d give him a kiss of appreciation. ‘Yeah, right.’
Without slowing down, he jumped inside the well and was surrounded by the warmth of the time portal.
