Thankyou to those that reviewed, you guys are awesome!

Hope you enjoy this chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Recap:

"You are Inuyasha I presume?" he stated rather than questioned willing the hanyou to move.

Inuyasha growled low in his throat, his hands flexing in preparation to battle "What's it to ya?" he snarled watching the youkai's every move.

The youkai smirked darkly at the hanyou, his foot pivoting slightly and his body tensing as he places his hands by his sides having an itch to fight himself.

"I want the girl..."

With that statement there was a clang of metal.

End of Recap:

Chapter 23

"Lord Sesshoumaru, I want to thank you for seeing me on such short notice" Hiro gave a nod of his head to the younger lord of the Western lands. Sesshoumaru returned the greeting and gestured to a seat behind Hiro.

"You wanted to see me, Hiro?" Sesshoumaru asked as he seated himself.

"Yes, I have just gotten word that there is a Black Inu, living outside of my Kingdoms walls, a young Hanyou one at that". Hiro explained as he leant back in his chair a small frown on his face.

Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at the odd news, having never heard of a Black Inu raised outside of the Northwest Kingdoms walls, "I see, though I am unsure as to what this has to do with me Hiro".

Hiro leant forward and threaded his fingers, leaning his chin on them "I have been informed that the young Hanyou is travelling in a group, one that has another Hanyou, Inuyasha".

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes in remembrance of the young child, throwing the herbs in his face. "I have encountered Inuyasha and his pack on a few occasions, I do recall there being another Hanyou". Sesshoumaru glowered at the memory "Though she seems to be a new addition to the group or something else, I am unsure of the details".

"Something else?" Hiro asked with a raised eyebrow and frowned slightly, Sesshoumaru was acting quite different to what he remembered.

Sesshoumaru nodded, "Within the group there used to be a Miko travelling with them, though she was not there the last time I visited, but the young Hanyou pup, smelt like her slightly, yet completely different".

Hiro back stiffened, which didn't go unnoticed by Sesshoumaru, but he didn't comment about it.

"Miko?" Hiro asked, somewhat hesitantly, he was not informed of there being a Miko within the group, only a Taijiya, Houshi, Kitsune kit and Nekomatta.

Sesshoumaru gave a nod of his head and leaned back in his chair slightly "Yes, she seems to welcome Youkai rather than kill them. She is…odd for her kind" Sesshoumaru begrudgingly admitted with a sneer.

Hiro looked at Sesshoumaru sharply and narrowed his eyes in thought 'Could it be…' he thought to himself. "What is her name?" Hiro asked slowly, he was eager yet afraid of the answer.

Sesshoumaru's eyebrow raised as he looked at the Lord across from him in a somewhat suspicious manner. "Hn…I believe she goes by the name of Kagome".

Hiro's eyes widened exceedingly 'It must be? Kagome…'

Jiro laughed darkly as he pushed the Hanyou back once again, smirking down at him, while quite strong for a Hanyou he was no match for him.

Inuyasha growled low in his throat and picked himself up and held Tetsuaiga out in front of him in a threatening manner, ready to wipe that smirk right off.

Inuyasha gave a shout and ran to the Youkai and swung Tetsuaiga at him "Wind Scar!" Jiro dodged easily with a flip and landed gracefully on his feet as soo as his feet toushed the ground he sped at Inuyasha and punched his in the stomach.

Inuyasha gasped feeling the air leave him as blood trickled down the side of his mouth, all the blows finally taking a toll on him. Kagome cried out and ran to Inuyasha holding on to his Hakama's as she glared defiantly at the Youkai.

Jiro looked surprised at the brave young Hanyou and studied her curiously. She looked familiar to him and she smelled like Hiro somewhat….'How?' he narrowed his eyes at her, the only way she could smell so much like Hiro is if this was his…Jiro eyes, widened once more in shock 'His child!'

Jiro eyed Inuyasha wearily and with fast reflexes grabbed Kagome from the back of her top and sped to the other side of the clearing and brought her up to his face.

Kagome gave a yelp and bared her fangs at the strange Youkai, her hands twitching, ready to claw him when she got the chance.

"Child, you will tell me if you have you heard of Hiro-sama?" Jiro demanded and growled in warning for her to calm down and submit, expanding his Youki.

Kagome whimpered at the feeling of his Youki, her Miko powers rising to the surface in retaliation in her defence.

He snarled and threw her away from him and into a tree, Inuyasha growled loudly causing Jiro to look at him in anger and confusion at the growing amount of Youki that Inuyasha was giving off and readied himself.

Inuyasha felt anger course through him as his blood boiled and felt his control slipping.

Kagome looked on in fear as Inuyasha's youki pulsed, not understanding what was happening. Her eyes watched Inuyasha slumped yet tense form as he gave a continuous long guttural growl.

Sango cursed and readied her Hiraikotsu and kept her eyes on her Hanyou friend, 'How is this happening? He has the Tetsuaiga!' she thought desperately.

Miroku readied his staff with a deep frown and gave a nod to Kirara who quickly transformed and grabbed Shippo by the back of his shirt, who was desperately trying to control his fear for his two Hanyou friends.

Everyone watched in an odd fascination as Inuyasha claws grew and buried themselves within the dirt besides his thighs. His fangs elongated, giving him a feral look as his appearance grew darker and more feral at each pulse of Youki.

Jiro shifted his feet into a better position, clenching his teeth. His Youki was so strong, what was happening? He had heard rumours that Hanyou could utilise their full Youkai blood in certain situations.

Kagome stood on shaking knees as she watched Inuyasha, worried and gasped in fear when he suddenly snapped his head up to meet her eyes with crimson, blood red eyes with aqua pupils. Kagome whimpered and backed up against the tree, causing the once Hanyou to give a sadistic grin.

Wanting to close her eyes to the horrifying sight, yet knowing she shouldn't take her eyes off, she felt her eyes water once again.

Inuyasha grin grew wider as he launched himself up onto his feet suddenly, his head bowed and bangs once again covering his eyes.

Jiro tensed and glanced at the younger Hanyou, he'd have to get her to safety somehow, he couldn't let her die, she was one his own kind, albeit half, plus she needed to be taken to his brother.

Sano sneered at the sight of the Youkai and Hanyou fighting and clutched his sword at his side tightly.

His leader would not approve of this, now the Black Inu clan knew of the disgusting Hanyou child, which would make things a bit more complicated o be rid of it.

Sano clutched the small pouch that hung around his neck through his garb, thankful that the herb hid his scent so well, blending it with that of nature, so as to not arouse suspicion of any Youkai.

He watched as the ensued watching critically at their fighting patterns the Black Inu, he sneered in disgust, was quite graceful in fighting compared to the brash Hanyou who was only going by brute strength rather than any skill or strategy.

He watched as the black Inu, picked up the young Halfling and flung her into a tree in shock, Sano narrowed his eyes, unsure as to what had happened. Surely the older Black Inu would be able to take down a puny Hanyou and a young one at that.

Feeling a spike his head snapped over towards the older silver Hanyou, he tightened his hand on his sword further, sensing the large amount of killing intent coming from his slumped posture.

He clutched the pouch tighter having never felt this instinct to run so strong before, he grimaced at the feeling watching as the Hanyou's head snapped up revealing cold, insane eyes, that made him feel as if a bolt lightning struck through. He felt paralysed.

Jiro manoeuvred himself slightly to keep the young Hanyou out of the Inuyasha sight Inuyasha sensing the movement snapped his head up once again and tilted his head curiously, the sadistic grin still lit up upon his twisted visage, he raised a clawed hand and mockingly shook his finger at Jiro, as one would do to a naughty child "Ah ah ah" Inuyasha smirked, his voice dark.

Jiro snarled at the gesture, holding his spot, knowing that he couldn't rush. One minute Jiro was watching the Hanyou wearily the next he was looking at the sky, he coughed sharply feeling blood slide down the side of his mouth. He back flipped to once again stand upright and wiped the blood away.

'He moved so fast, his a lot faster now than when he was earlier' Jiro thought with calculating eyes. Without mush thought Inuyasha striked again, Jiro barely managing to pivot on his feet and quickly sidestep from the swipe of claws that nearly teared his chest open.

Inuyasha once again quickly sped up the attacks, causing Jiro to have to keep dodging as to not b injured. He swung a punch at Inuyasha's back when he saw an opening, when Inuyasha had swung to far.

Inuyasha gave a deadly smirk, having planned it and grabbed Jiro's arm that he punched out with and swung him over his shoulder and onto the ground. He placed a clawed foot on the small of Jiro's back and pulled at his arms sharply. There was a sickening crack, as the shoulder broke.

Jiro gave a yell of pain, trying to wretch himself free, he twisted himself out of the hold Inuyasha had on him, tugging his arm out from his hold, and he leapt back and snarled at the Hanyou, trying to ignore the horrid pain from his right shoulder.

Sango sidled up beside Miroku carefully so as to not get Inuyasha's attention. "Houshi, what are we going to do? How has he turned, he has Tetsuaiga!" She whispered to him, straining her voice to keep it as low as possible.

Miroku glanced at her at the corner of his eye but quickly went back to watching the Hanyou turned Youkai, as he taunted the injured Youkai. "I'm unsure, we'll have to work that out later, we can't have this happening again" he stated with determination, wanting to bring his friend back to his senses.

Inuyasha cackled darklyand swung his head to the duo, giving them a piercing stare, making them tense and stiffen.

He smirked at them and turned as if he was going to attack them, before launching himself once again at Jiro unexpectedly. Jiro swiftly moved past him and kicked Inuyasha in the back making the Hanyou stumble, Jiro seeing this continued a frenzy of kicks at Inuyasha, smirking when he hear a crunch of bone at one particularly hard kick.

Inuyasha snarled and grabbed Jiro leg and swung him away, Jiro flipped in the air and landing on his feet, holding his shoulder with a slight almost unnoticeable wince. Simultaneously they attacked each other again, the scuffle getting closer to Kagome, who yelped and hid herself behind the tree.

Inuyasha giggled maniacally seeing this and kicked Jiro in the head, with an unexpected swift high kick and made his way to the tree, when Jiro soured across the clearing "Hmmm" he hummed darkly.

"Don't you dare!" Inuyasha's back smacked painfully into the tree, causing Kagome to yelp and back away from it.

"Leave her be" said a deep baritone voice, Kagome inched her way around the tree that was blocking her view and gave a small gasp at the large male that was standing in front of the fallen Inuyasha and felt familiarity wash over her.

The Youkai was pretty and for some reason, it was an odd feeling. He seemed to stare at her in wonder until Inuyasha made a move to get up. He sneered at the fallen Hanyou and got a hold of Inuyasha's neck and slammed him against the tree once more, something inside of her snapped "No!" she ran to the tree and made her way around it and stood in front of dazed Inuyasha and looked into the eyes of the male before her. who had backed away.

"Don't hurt him!" she cried out as she glared determinately up at the Youkai, who looked shocked and confused.

She quickly turned around and looked at Inuyasha and hugged him tightly around his shoulders and laid her chin on his shoulder.

"Chichioya, you're not like this! Be normal again okay?" She asked quietly, tears falling down her cheeks as she felt Inuyasha tightly grab her shoulders and growl darkly at her. Her Miko ki rose within her and poured into Inuyasha who growled savagely, before once again pulsing.

Kagome leant back slightly to look at his face as his, fangs and feral look receded and his golden eyes shone through the red haze that was his eyes.

"Kagome..." he strained out, his voice soft, tugging her back into his chest and hugged her for all he was worth, as she cried into his Haori.

Inuyasha rubbed soothing circles on her back and slowly looked up to see what damage was done, and widened his eyes at the sight of a very angry and hostile Youkai in front of him.

"You have some explaining to do boy..."

Sano grinned darkly, the Black Inu Youkai Lord, away from the fortified walls.

'Perfect'.

"Now is the time..." he whispered to himself.

Sweat beaded down his forehead as he shakily made his escape so that no one would notice him, not seeing the narrowed eyes that followed him.

Hiro felt shock flood his system, it was his pup. There was no doubt about it, that scent was a mix of his and her lovely mother.

'How?' was all that was going though his mind as he stared into her lovely blues eyes, so alike his own.

Seeing the Hanyou move, he felt all his instincts rise at the threat to his pup and went to and grabbed his neck and slammed his head into the tree, hearing a nice crack as he did.

"Don't hurt him!"

He looked at his pup confused and backed up slightly not understanding, feeling slightly surprised when she glared up at him.

He felt anger course through him when she hugged the hanyou and almost ripped her away if it wasn't for Jiro who had limped over to him and laid a hand on his shoulder. "You may hurt her if you take her away, wait and see what happens".

Hiro gave a sharp nod and paid close attention to the two Hanyou's, narrowing his eyes when Inuyasha growled.

"Chichioya, you're not like this! Be normal again okay?"

His eyes widened ' Chichioya? But I am her sire...' Feeling slightly hurt, he narrowed his lips into a thin line and tensed painfully.

Jiro looked sharply at his brother, feeling him tense, his hand still being on his shoulder, before snapping his head back once again and movigng backs lightly along with Hiro, when Kagome used her Miko Ki, seeming to purify the Youkai which had taken over Inuyasha causing him to revert back to his Hanyou self.

Hiro felt a growl rumble darkly in his chest and strode forward intending to get answers and his pup.

He watched as the boy looked up confused "You have some explaining to do boy..." he snarled darkly.

Inuyasha: I'm shocked, I thought we'd have to wait another 3 or so years for another chapter.

Me: *Glares at Inuyasha* Oi, I said I wanted to finish this story and I will!

Inuyasha" *Smirks" To bad you're so slow at it!

Me: *growls* Kagome!

Inuyasha:*gulp*

Kagome: *pops her head into the room* Yes?

Me: Inuyasha is being rude!

Kagome: *Gives Inuyasha a sceptical look*

Inuyasha *feels some hope lift within him*

Sesshoumaru: *Walks into the room* I believe he hit that fox kit of yours Miko

Kagome: INUYASHA! Leave Shippo alone! SITSITSITSITSITSIT!

Inuyasha: *currently in a crater*

Me: *mouth wide open* Sesshoumaru...you helped me?

Sesshoumaru: *scoffs* You put me in the chapter, that is my thanks.

Me: Thankyou Sess!

Sesshoumaru: *thumps author on the head* Do not call me that...

Me: Fine...(dejected)

Author and Sesshoumaru leave room.

Inuyasha: HEY!

Bye-bye
