In The Last Chapter

As the moon rose to its zenith and touched the bloodstained Earth, the ground shifted and broke away. From the gaping hole a lone figure looking haggard and his once luminous raven locks looked matted and caked with dirt and blood, climbed out and took his first breath of clean air. His once royal violet robes were in rags and the spider tattoo was red rimmed and burned. His crimson eyes were blackened from lack of sleep and his lips were parched.

"I….need a soul…that'll revitalize me…but who?" He looked at where he was and recognized the well. Of course… He thought as he crept closer to the well. Soon, I will be at full power again… As he removed a vial of blood from around his neck and allowed three drops of blood to fall onto the dirt. It shimmered into a pinkish purple light and he grinned. He was glad that he managed to save a sample of Kagome's blood when he apprehended her. Then the dogs had to come and get her. Inuyasha… He thought as he was ready to jump in. Due to that cursed ice demon I have inherited his lust and obsession for you. I will have you and Sesshomaru will fall…But first I will take out the people you hold dear…With a lingering wicked laugh he fell into the well and planned for his ultimate revenge…

Chapter 3: Return of the Wolves

Sesshomaru looked to where his mate was keeping watch over their pup. For the past two days, he had tried to get his mate to leave their pup to his slumber in order to grab some food but Inuyasha refused.

"I'm not leaving him." The younger Lord said, "He'll need me."

"Inuyasha," Sesshomaru pleaded. "You have to eat something and rest yourself. What good can you do for our son if you fall ill?"

"That is true but still," Inuyasha looked down at their baby and stroked the boy's cheek. "Who knows what will happen when he wakes?" Before he could say more, a pair of honey amber eyes looked at his parents.

"Mother? Father? What happened?"

"Oh Tashi, you gave me such a fright." Inuyasha sobbed as he hugged the little boy to him. Sesshomaru was more reserved but he was relieved that his son was well and awake. As a Seer, Tashi would pass out at first because he was young. However, as he would grow, he would become stronger and not pass out. He would become in tuned to his power and would be able to wield magic. Sesshomaru looked at his son and knew that he had to question his pup, although he hated to do so.

"Tashi," He began as his son looked at him. "Did you have another vision?"

"No but I have a bad feeling about this Father." The boy said as he ran a hand through his silver white locks. "I just remembered that the man went to some well and dove in." Both Lords looked at each other and gasped. They knew exactly where the man was going.

"I hope Kagome and Koga have the sense to hide or come here." Inuyasha said as he held their pup. Sesshomaru silently agreed. If his son's vision proved to be true, then their friends were in serious trouble.

Meanwhile in the Modern Era…

Kagome looked through the window in her kitchen and watched as her husband played with their children. Long ago, if anyone had told her that she was going with Koga, she would give them a backpack to the head. Since the 'defeat' of Naraku and after Inuyasha's wedding, she and Koga had returned to her time. She was shocked and yet, at the same time, was happy. Koga had given up his position as Prince of the Wolf clan just to be with her. When she asked him why, he simply said; "' I'd rather be where I'm loved for me.'" She blushed but happily accepted. When they had arrived in Kagome's world, Koga was fascinated. There were so many things to see that he had never seen before. To her amazement, the wolf prince's favorite food was pizza! He was almost as bad as Inuyasha was with the ramen. But unlike the silver haired inuhanyou, Koga adapted. He happily worked in the Shrine with Kagome's grandfather and brother. Her mother and her were chatting away about 'wedding plans' and by winter, they were married. Her two children, Mae and Miku were twin girls, half wolf demon girls to be exact! They had the black hair of their mother but had their father's blue eyes and roguish spirit. They looked like their mother but other than that, they were their father through and through. At first, Kagome thought that Koga would have been disappointed that he didn't have a son but again, he surprised her and they both knew that the cubs had Koga wrapped around their fingers!

She looked up into the sky and frowned. A few moments ago, the sky was clear and sunny, now it had dark evil looking clouds and there was an evil air. She felt her body tense and her heart raced. She hadn't felt this way since they had been in the Feudal Era and she and the group were hunting for Naraku. Abandoning her dishes she raced to their bedroom and grabbed her bow and arrows. She followed where she had felt the miasma was strongest and by the Shrine, not too far from where Koga and the children were, was Naraku. Koga was already taking a stance and growling. But where were the girls? Kagome thought frantically as she reached out to them. She sighed when felt them. They were hidden in the house under a protection talisman.

"What do you want?" He snarled, baring his fangs to the spider demon, which didn't even flinch. "And what are you doing here? I thought you were dead!"

"Even Hell can't hold me wolf prince." Naraku said with a chuckle. "Although, I need to kick start my power. And you and your mate are perfect for just that." With that he aimed a tentacle at Koga who leapt over it and swiped with his claws. Naraku chuckled as he dashed to the side, watching Koga stumble and falter. "It would seem that you have gone soft, wolf prince." He said with another chuckle. "Give yourself willingly and perhaps I'll spare your precious offspring." Koga blanched at that. Naraku knew of his daughters….He couldn't let them fall into Naraku's clutches. He bowed his head in defeat. As Naraku stepped forward, an arrow grazed his cheek, drawing a fine line of blood. Naraku looked up and smiled as he watched Kagome notched another arrow to her bow. He looked her over and smirked. Plans do change…

"I have changed my mind, wolf." He said with a sneer. "I will take your mate for my own in exchange for the lives of you and your offspring."

"Like hell you will!" Koga roared as he lunged at the other demon. Naraku snorted his annoyance and grabbed Koga by the throat and threw him as if he was a rag doll against the sacred tree. Koga was dazed but still managed to look defiant.

"Annoying cur!" He snarled. "I was willing to spare you but it seems to me that you would rather endure my wrath, very well then." He towered over Koga and before Kagome was able to speak, Naraku absorbed him! Kagome dropped to her knees, shocked and heart breaking as she realized that her mate was gone so quickly. Scalding tears ran down her cheeks and her hands went slack, dropping the bow, arrows and quiver. Naraku looked at her and smiled. He knew that he had broken her. He ran a cold hand along her cheeks and licked her tears perversely.

"Come my dear or suffer the same fate." He purred. Kagome looked at him in disgust and went to wring his neck. However, once again, Naraku sidestepped and laughed as the woman fell. He grabbed her by the waist and licked her cheek while a tentacle began to feel her womanhood over the panties. Kagome felt sick to her stomach and was angered but knew that she couldn't risk her daughters to become Naraku's prey. The talisman was a temporary one and only lasted for a few hours. She looked at him resigned. Naraku smirked, threw her over his shoulder and dove back into the well. As his evil laughter died down, Mae and Miku had left the protection of the talisman and whimpered as they saw their mother's discarded weapons. Their father, was no where to be seen!

"Mae," Miku sobbed as she looked at her older sister. "What do we do now?" Mae didn't answer her. Instead she picked up their mother's weapons and looked at her sister sternly. Out of the two of them, Mae was more like their mother while Miku was more of their father. Even when it came to combat, Mae loved archery while Miku loved martial arts!

"Grab your gear." She said sternly. "We're going after them." Miku nodded and dashed off; only to come back dressed in black and red gear with black combat boots, guards for her hands and her hair in a high ponytail with her bangs in a headband. Mae nodded her approval and after leaving a note for their grandmother, the twins held hands and jumped into the well, determined to get their mother back and avenge their father!

Back at the Palace

"Someone is coming," Inutaisho stated during his lessons, his brush in mid-stroke. His tutor looked at him and knew what to do. Wordlessly, he went to the two Lords of the West, who were in the family room.

"My Lords," He said. "Come quickly, it's the young master." The two Lords followed the frantic teacher and sat on either side of Inutaisho. They have learned the hard way that while a Seer has a vision that he/she was not to be touched. So patiently, they waited. When they saw that their pup's eyes focused back and no longer looked glassy, they hugged him.

"Father, Mother, someone is coming." Inutaisho said. Sesshomaru looked at his son and nodded for him to continue. "Twin girls, one with a bow and one with gauntlets and they want revenge. They are also on a quest…"

"What did they look like son?"

"Their hair are as black as night and their eyes, as blue as the sky." The young boy said. Inuyasha's eyes widened but Sesshomaru held up a hand for silence.

"Where are they now?" He asked. Inutaisho looked at his sire and sighed.

"At the well that the man dove into, they are setting up camp there." The two parents looked at each other and nodded. Sesshomaru walked and went outside into the gardens with Inuyasha and his son following. He knew what had to be done and it had to be done quickly. The girls were just too young to be on such a quest and both men knew that. Without a second thought, Sesshomaru transformed into the demon dog and took to the air. Inuyasha sighed and stayed with their son. Hurry Sessho. Inuyasha thought as the demon dog left from his line of sight. There is no telling what's out there.

Sesshomaru went as fast as the wind allowed him to. For some unknown reason, a storm had begun to rage. This is no ordinary storm. Sesshomaru thought. It reeks of pure evil. That son of a spider bitch is back. Those girls are no where ready for what this disgrace is capable of. He looked down and surveyed the area. It was the bone eater's well and Sesshomaru landed as easily and soundlessly as he could. The harsh winds were a terror and he prayed to whoever was listening that it would be over soon. The cold winds were not kind to his joints and he was beginning to suffer. He transformed into his human form and stopped at the small colorful dwelling in wonder. What is this? He cleared his throat and to his amazement, two girls, looking no older than his son gazed at him. He smiled and knelt down to meet their gazes.

"It is not safe here for young ones such as yourselves," He stated. The older girl looked at him and smiled.

"I know you. Mommy and Daddy spoke of you. You're Sesshomaru!" The man's eyes widened. The parents had spoke of him? That was a surprise in itself. He looked at them again and nodded.

"I am and you two are…"

"I'm Mae and this is my twin sister Miku. We're looking for the bad man who took our mother. His scent is here so we're waiting for him here so we can take him down."

"My dear children, he will not come back here." Sesshomaru said. "At least not tonight, there are also many other demons here and some like to prey on little girls such as you."

"Mae, we should go with Sesshomaru." Miku said meekly as she held onto her stuffed bear. "I don't want to be demon food."

"This is why Daddy never wanted you to see a horror movie!" Mae said. Miku blushed and hugged her bear. Sesshomaru sighed as his 'father mode' kicked in.

"Now girls, we don't have time to bicker." He stated sternly. "Pack up your dwelling and let us go. You two must be hungry and tired." The girls nodded and obeyed his order. They had heard from their parents that Sesshomaru was not one to be disobeyed. Their father said that he had a very short fuse and had no patience. So far, to the girls, Sesshomaru seemed nice but they both didn't want to test the waters with the man. So without a second thought they had gathered their things and hopped onto the demon dog's back. They rode the demon dog and looked at the stars and then down. The landscape was remarkable and Mae knew that her sister was itching to grab her sketchpad and pencils. She had to admit that their father's homeland was lovely but it was nothing to the palace that came into view. The palace was beautiful, in mahogany and had lush green lands. They yipped excitedly when they saw the gardens and the people waiting for them. One was dressed in a white and red kimono with his hair in an elegant braid that reached his calves and a little boy in white and blue with loose silver hair and a blue crescent moon on his forehead. Sesshomaru actually chuckled as he landed and allowed the girls to scamper off of him. The girls ran to the man in red and white, who had his arms open for them and cried out as one.

"Inuyasha!"
