Summary Inuyasha leave Odawara behind
I
nuyasha looked at the castle through different eyes. Kagome had told him that the Hojo would be gone in less than forty years. It might be the largest castle in the world, but it would surrender with out being breached.
He remembered Kamakura, the last outpost of the Hojo. The clan had died and burned that day. This Hojo clan would be gone in less than forty years Yet the castle they built still stood today An edifice to the uselessness of castles when faced with a determined besieger
He sighed. Kagome took his hand and looked at him. "eve are not your people. Their fate is not your fate. History may condemn them,but it does not condemn you. You are not alone. Even if Sesshoumaru is not much of a brother he is family. Most of all you have me"
Inuyasha nodded. Intellectually he understood. Somehow he hoped that some of his relatives the Hojo had escaped the mass suicide of Kamakura. He understood why he had wanted Sesshoumaru to recognize him as family. Kagome and her family were more of a family than he ever would be
They thanked Akitoki Hojo and headed back to Sunset Village knowing that they would not be able to communicate with Hojo authorities about stopping the raids on their village They would have to come up with their own plan of dealing with the Hojo since dealing with them as family would not work
Eventually the wave of history would wash over Odwara wiping out the Hojo but leaving the castle standing as a monument to the stupidity of those who trusted in such things. Instead he would put his trust in himself ,Kagome and the friends he had made while searching for the Jewel
