The Feudal Fairy Tale Begins Again...

Chapter Fourteen: Inuyasha's Guide to Surviving in the Sengoku Jidai.
**********************************************************
Much, much later that day. About 7:00 P.M...
View of Inuyasha and Kawayou running side by side as Miroku looks down at them. "Do you think we're traveling in the right direction?"
"I don't really know. Kouga just sort of pops up whenever he feels like it." Kagome replied. "And I'm not exactly sure where to even begin looking for Toutousai."
Sango looked back at her. "Are you sure you want them to help then?"
"If I can find them, I want them there." Kagome said firmly. She looked at Sango gently. "The more experience we have on our side, the better I'll feel about Kawayou."
Sango looked back at her and shared her gentle look. 'Kagome. It must be hard to involve your son into this. I know if I were a mother I'd probably react the same way with my own child.'
Miroku didn't miss the look that crossed Sango's eyes. "Sango, motherhood seems to be calling to you. If you would like-"
But he didn't get to finish as he felt something hit him on the back of his head.
Sango grimaced. "Don't even think about finishing that sentence you-"
"KAGOME!!"
Everyone looked straight ahead at the blurring tornado coming toward them. Kirara landed on the ground next to Kawayou and Inuyasha.
Inuyasha glanced down at Kawayou. "Remember what I said."
Kawayou shook his head yes.
Kagome stepped off Kirara and before she knew it she had been grabbed by Kouga.
"Hey!" Kawayou barked. "You wimpy wolf, let go of my mom!"
Kouga looked back at the strange statement and saw Kawayou standing next to Inuyasha. He set Kagome down. "Kagome, what is going on?"
Kagome smiled at him causing his heart to start to flutter. "Let me start from the beginning...."
After Kagome had explained what had been happening to Kawayou, you could slowly see the different expressions on his face. Everything from happiness, dissapointment, anger and even confusement.
"...and so I really want you to come back with us to help defeat Naraku." 'and protect my son.' Kagome added to herself.
Kouga looked at her with an expression she couldn't quite pin down. "Of course, Kagome...we are still...friends...after all..."
Kagome smiled at him and then glanced back at Inuyasha. "Kouga's running beside you two-"
"Like hell he will!" Inuyasha barked as he suddenly grabbed Kawayou.
"Hey! Let go of me ya moron!" Kawayou yelled. He wanted to sit his dad, but it wouldn't do any good to get smashed along with him.
Kouga huffed. "What, you think I'll try to eliminate your claim on Kagome?"
Inuyasha growled instinctively. "You touch Kagome or my pup ever, and I'll kill you."
Kouga looked on in surprise at Inuyasha. 'The look in his eyes...dog turd's not bluffing, he'd really do it...'
"Fine then, dog turd, tell me where this 'well' is supposed to be and I'll wait there for you." Kouga said, with just a sting of jealousy in his voice.
After Kouga had been told about the well, the gang all left looking for Toutousai. The last person they needed, but had no clue where to find.
About mid day the next day, everyone had started to head back towards the well. They couldn't find the wise old youkai no matter where they thought to look.
"I'm sorry we couldn't find him Kagome." Sango said with a pinch of sadness in her voice. "Perhaps nothing will happen to the Tetsusaiga and we won't need his assistance."
Kagome shrugged, but really wasn't paying attention. Instead, she focused in on two dog demons that we're talking to each other down below. She smiled. 'Are they actually bonding? I wonder what they are talking about?'
"...and then you sneak up on him." Inuyasha instructed as he glanced quickly at Kawayou who was still running beside him.
The two continued to talk while keeping an eye out for where they were going.
"Okay, and if the little brat tries to act funny, I don't give him a chance and I immediately chase him down and beat the shit out of him?" Kawayou asked his dad for clarification.
"That's right. The brat uses dirty magic tricks to keep you down, so don't give him a chance and you should be able to wear him down." Inuyasha replied. "And you remember about Miroku?"
Kawayou growled. "Yeah, and the wimpy wolf. No way neither are going to get to my mom."
Inuyasha smiled smugly. He had been teaching his pup all the basics he could about his time. After all, it would only be a matter of time before he had to come here...
Inuyasha shook his head. 'Nope. Don't think about that. So what if Kagome's not a half-youkai? That's the future and this is now. Right now were both alive and we're going to raise this pup.'
Inuyasha stopped and started to think back on his own childhood, long long ago. 'Mother had always given me a feeling of security that no one else could.' he glanced at Kawayou quickly. 'Does Kawayou feel the same way for Kagome? How will he deal with her...'
Kawayou looked quickly at Inuyasha. "What's bugging you?"
Inuyasha quickly shook his head. "Nothing pup, don't worry about it." He changed his forlorn expression to a smirk. "So, ready to try out your new training?" he asked as they saw the well approaching.
Kirara landed softly next to the well and Kagome, Shippou, and Sango were put down.
Kagome sat Shippou on the lip of the well. She looked over to the right and saw Kouga walking towards them. "Kouga, you remembered! Thank you!"
"Of course I remembered Kagome, I'd-"
"Aahhh!"
Kagome looked next to her and realized Shippou was missing. "Where'd he go?" She looked around and realized everyone was still there except Kawayou...and Inuyasha was starting to take interest in the tree beside him.
"Inuyasha! Where's our son?!" she shouted.
Inuyasha still didn't look at her, but a thin smile could be seen unhidden on his face.
"Caught him!" they heard through the trees. Kagome frowned as she saw Kawayou come out into their clearing. He was grinning from ear to ear and was holding a confused Shippou.
Kagome was about to scold her son when he ran over to Inuyasha and held Shippou up. "Told you I could do it, no sweat!"
Now, everyone started to frown deeply at Inuyasha.
"What?" the hanyou replied. "I was teaching him to hunt, and Shippou made a good assistant!" He looked down at the pup and whispered so softly that only the pup could hear. "But you we're supposed to beat the shit out of him."
"I didn't want to do that!" Kawayou barked. "I just wanted to pet him!" He pet Shippou's tail again while Shippou continued to be confused. "'Cause he's cute and furry!"
Miroku, Sango and Kagome couldn't help but smile as Inuyasha put his hands over his face.
Kouga laughed whole-heartedly. "Well, that's some pup you got there dog turd! He'd rather pet his food than hunt it!"
A tinge of pink hit Inuyasha's cheeks. He pointed accusingly at Kagome. "Hey, what kind of fucked up blood line did you give my pup?!"
Kagome frowned. "Inuyasha . Your language."
"Indeed. Not very nice language to use in front of the young."
Everyone turned around and saw Toutousai sitting on his three-eyed ox. He slowly got off and walked toward them. "Now, I hear you have been looking for me. What is this all about?"
After everyone explained yet again the situation, Toutousai listened.
"So you want me to babysit the hanyou and make sure he doesn't lose control if he loses Tetsusaiga?" Toutousai replied. "I can't really do anything if he does."
"I know, but it would help just to have you near just in case something unforeseen happens." Kagome replied.
"Then what am I, chopped liver?"
Everyone looked at Toutousai's shoulder.
"Ugh. Myouga, what are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked in distain.
"What?! Lord Inuyasha, surely you jest! Why wouldn't I be here?" Myouga responded.
Kagome smiled. 'If Myouga actually plans on coming, then I guess things we'll be alright after all.' She looked down at Kawayou who was still petting Shippou. "Ready to go?"
Kawayou nodded and got on the lip of the well.
Kagome looked at everyone carefully. 'I'm definitely not jumping into a dark well with Miroku.' "Sango and Kirara will go with me and Inuyasha can take Miroku." She pointed at Kawayou. "You take Shippou and Kouga." She pointed to Inuyasha. "Then you come back and grab Toutousai." She smiled as Sango and the untransformed Kirara came up beside her. "Ready? Let's go!"
