" What do you want to be when you grow up, Onii-sama?"

" I'm going to be a powerful taiyoukai just like father."

" Can I be just like you, Onii-sama?"

" Of course you can and you better be a strong one. A powerful taiyoukai should have a strong little brother by his side."

" Hai! I won't let you down Onii-sama. I'll become a strong youkai and serve my Onii-sama."

" That's right otouto because I'm planing to keep you forever by my side. You belong to me, my little yasha..."

June 5th full moon

Feudal era

Dear Journal:

Good evening, my friend, it had been a while since I last wrote to you. Many things happened during those time and I just can't get the time to write anymore. We were all tired after four days of travelling so this evening we decided to camp out at the clearing. Thank God that I don't have to sleep around the corpses any more.

Well things are pretty normal around me except that Naraku managed to steal the near completed Shikon no Tama from me. Inu yasha was really angry at him and it made him moody lately. Naraku took the shard that was keeping Kohaku alive away. We lost him. Sango-chan had buried his remain along with her family's graves. Miroku-sama tired to lift her spirit but it seemed that he fail miserably. But seeing an angry Sango-chan was way better than a depressed one. I'll guess in some way Miroku-sama did help Sanngo-chan get over her grief of losing her only brother.

I've sensed a shikon no kakera near the northern mountain and we're already half way there after almost four days of non-stop travelling. Inuyasha finally found a pretty safe spot for us to rest. He said that there was a small clan of snake youkai inhabited on the mountain but other than that there was no other youkai around.

I think that the shard that we're going after this time was the last piece beside the shards that Kouga had on his legs. We need that shard. I hope that we can get the Shikon no kakera before Naraku does. Or else our hope of defeating him will be even slimmer.

Okay off with the serious stuff. My friend, I've noticed that I forgot something. I still haven't given you a name yet. Hmmm. what is the best name for you, my dear Journal? Well, the night is getting dark and I think I should get some rest or else Inuyasha will get mad if I dozed off during the day. I'll think of a name that suits you. Maybe I can name you next time I wrote to you but now I think I really need to sleep.

Good night my friend.

Kagome Higurashi

"Inuyasha the shard is in her heart!" Kagome yelled when she saw the glowing Shikon no kakera that was inside the snake youkai's heart. Inuyasha swung Tessaiga trying to cut the youkai apart. The youkai hissed at him and charged forward. She swung her poisonous claws, which had made Inu-yasha back off a little. But Inuyasha once again charged with Tessaiga.

They reached the northern mountain in the morning. And Inuyasha easily spotted the large female snake youkai that lied on a flat surfaced rock enjoying the morning sunlight. After Kagome had confirmed that the female snake youkai was carrying a shard. Inuyasha immediately drawn Tessaiga out and attack her.

Sango used her large boomerang to attack her from behind. The snake youkai dodged. Inuyasha used the opportunity and sliced the youkai in half and then cutting it into smaller pieces.

" Where is the shard now?" He turned to Kagome who was running toward him. Kagome look around the bloody mess on the ground and pointed at the heart that was glowing. " There."

Inuyasha snatched the shard and handed to her. Sango and Miroku join them as they walk toward the stream near by.

" That wasn't so hard." Miroku commented while watching Inuyasha wash off the youkai blood on his hand.

Kagome took out the only shard they have on their hand and study it. She was ready to hand it over to Sango's out reached hand when a blinding wind blow right at their face. The wind dead down as fast as it came. A white furred figure stand in front of them.

" Naraku." Inuyasha growled and launch toward him. But Naraku just stared at the shard that was in Kagome's hand.

" It seem that I'm late this time.kukuku.doesn't matter, I'll have it in time." Naraku chuckled as he evade Inuyasha's attack.

" We'll meet again soon.kukukuku."

" Come back here, you coward!" Inuyasha yelled at the retreating figure.

" Inuyasha! Don't!" Kagome try to stopped the hanyou from chasing after Naraku but Inuyasha already caught up with him. Inuyasha raised his sword and slice him to half.

" It's a puppet." Miroku stated flatly, as a little wooden doll was all it left on the ground.

" Damn you Naraku!" Inuyasha cursed.

* * *

Naraku chuckled as he stared at the broken wooden doll on the table. Everything was according to plan.

Time to move to the second stage.

" Rin, don't go there! There's a cliff behind the bushes." Jaken yelled the human girl that was recently went under his care. He sighed. Why would he, a youkai would bother with this little human brat. Jaken hopped toward the girl and drag her away from the cliff.

" But.Jaken-sama, there's a really pretty flower there. Rin want that flower!" Rin wiggled as if trying to free herself from Jaken's grip. The flower field had many pretty wild flowers. But she had spotted the most beautiful flower she ever saw in her life. The purple stem holding a white flower with crimson lines marked along the petals hang dangerously on the edge of the cliff. She wanted that flower. She turned her head and saw her guardian sitting under the cherry blossom meditating. Sesshoumaru-sama.that flower reminded her of Sesshoumaru-sama. Beautiful and dangerous at the same time.she wanted to give the flower to him. She must have that flower!

Sesshoumaru tried to meditate. Yes, tried to meditate but it seem that was not going to happen. His servant and the girl were making a hell of noises. How could anyone meditate when there were two noisy creatures shouting around you! Sesshoumaru sighed mentally.

The wind was getting stronger.

* sniff * sniff *

That smell.

" Rin! Jaken! Come. We need to go!" Sesshoumaru rose from his seating position and shout.

" Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin and Jaken said simultaneously. Totally forgot about their argument moments ago and race toward the taiyoukai.

They're half way across the field when a white furred figure appeared and stop them.

" Naraku!" Jaken yelped in surprise. Naraku swung his clawed hand and the toad youkai fly backward with a huge wound in his chest.

Sesshoumaru charged toward him but Naraku grab the little girl and jump on his flying feather.

" Sesshoumaru-sama, if you want the girl back you must kill Inuyasha." With that he was gone.

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at the direction where Naraku had disappeared. With a snort he turned back at where the toad youkai was lying and swung Tenseiga. Slicing those ugly soul snatchers to pieces. Without lying a second eye on the little toad he walk over to his dragon oni and he was in the air in matter of seconds.

" Sesshoumaru-sama! Wait for me!" Leaving the just revived-back-to-life Jaken hopping after him on the ground.

Sesshoumaru concentrating on finding Inuyasha's smell in the air. He pulled the halter and leading the oni toward the direction where he had caught a faint smell of his little brother.

" It seem like I'm going to see you soon Inuyasha." He muttered under his breath.

" I sense shikon no kakera nearby." Kagome turned away from the campfire and facing where she was sure there was shards coming in her direction.

" Hello there, Kagome. How are you?" Kouga grabbed both of her hand and ask sweetly.

" Kouga." Kagome sighed and sweatdrops.

" Prepare to die baka wolf!" Inuyasha drew his sword and ready to attack.

" Still alive dog turd?" Kouga let go of her hand and got into defence stance.

Kagome sighed again and prepare her sleeping bag and getting ready to rest. Totally ignoring the two that were ready to rip each other's throat out.

The day went not as well as they've planed it. Well, they did manage to get the shard but with the encounter with Naraku everything went down the hill. Especially, their mood. And the arrival of Kouga only make things worst. Kagome sighed the third time and try to ignore the two that was arguing over her again.

" Baka! Why are here? Shouldn't you be with that group of idiots of yours?" Inuyasha smirked as he saw the fuming expression on the wolf youkai's face.

" Shut the fuck up dog turd! I'm here to retrieve Kagome. She's mine after all." Kouga sneer at the half-breed.

" Why you." Inuyasha was fuming now.

" I always kept what's mine by my side. And she'll be in danger if she's around you!" Kouga ignored Inuyasha's anger and shout at his face. Strangely Inuyasha didn't say anything back. Sango and Miroku who were listening to the argument the whole time were surprised by the hanyou's lack of responds toward the subject. Sango tugged one of Kagome's uniform sleeves and whisper.

" Is something wrong with him?" Kagome shook her head. She too was surprised that Inuyasha didn't yell back at the wolf youkai. Shippou, who was sitting on Miroku's shoulder, ask the houshi.

" What's wrong with Inuyasha?" The monk narrowed his eyes a bit but say nothing.

" Yo! Dog turd are you there?" Kouga waved his hand in front of the dog hanyou's face couple of times. But it looked like something had immobilised the hanyou completely that he seemed to zoom out all of a sudden.

" Inuyasha? Are you alright?" Kagome asked the hanyou with concern. But Inuyasha couldn't careless right now. He was keep on hearing someone talk in his head.a voice he couldn't make out who.but it had the same tone as Kouga.

' I won't let you go.' * thump *

' You belong to Me.' * thump * thump *

' I always kept what's mine by my side.' * thump * thump * thump *

The voice.it was hammering his heart.he could felt his heart jump as his listen to it.some one said these to him.but.who?

' You're mine.my little Yasha.' who.are you? Why I can't control my heart beat when I heard your voice.who.are.

" Snap out of it! Inuyasha!" Miroku grabbed the hanyou's shoulder and began to shake him hard.

Inuyasha's mind snapped and once again focused on his surrounding. He saw the little fox youkai clutching his kimono; a frown on Miroku's usually smiling face, a blank look on Kouga and concern in both Kagome and Sango's eyes.

" What happened Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha ignored her and threw Shippou toward her. The kitsune steady himself on Kagome's shoulder and glared at the hanyou who dare to throw him around like a toy.

" Nothing happened wench." He leaped onto a tree branch and lay down. Ignoring those that was on the ground wondering what the hell just happened.

Inuyasha looked up on the moonless sky that was covered in a thick layer of dark cloud.

What's wrong with me?

* * *

" Watch her." Naraku dumped the unconscious little human girl on the ground. Kagura nodded at the command.

" Where's Kanna?" Naraku asked his older daughter.

" In her room." Naraku nodded and walked to the hall but he turned his head back when he reached the door.

" Don't let the girl get away." He walked down the hall toward his older daughter's room.

" Kanna, get ready to leave." He mentioned to the child to walk to his side. She tilted her head a little as if to ask why.

" I need you to capture Inuyasha's soul." He pointed at the mirror in her hand and smirked.

* * *

Sesshoumaru kicked his dragon oni a little, telling it to speed up as the smell of his little brother was getting stronger every minute.

" I found you.Inuyasha.brother."

* * *

Somewhere in a cave located deep within the mountain of western land a lone mirror bond up against the far wall by heavy chains. Its' blacken surface show nothing except a almost invisible outline of a sleeping figure. Trapped inside the mirror.

Numerous crystal balls flowing with in the cave as it gave out an eerie green glow lighting up the darken place.as if they were guarding the only object in this isolated cave.

.Remember.it was time.

Remember.remember.

.Please remember.

A low hum ring through the cave as the silent message was carried far away by the strong wind.
