I jumped in beside Inuyasha,

"Hello pup, missed me?" We were cutting through wasps but there were too many.

"So where's my idiot brother?" Out of the corner of my eye I saw Kaugra ready to strike. I turned to block her attack but something, or rather someone, was in my way,

"About time you got here." He growled at me and continued to fight her. After a long grueling battle she finally pulled back and the wasps followed. I turned toward Sesshomaru who glared at me,

"If it were anybody else they would've been dead by now. Don't do it again." He was close and I got closer,

"But I'm not just anyone, now am I pup." I faced Inuyasha and saw the scowl on his face and the hate in his eyes. The same could be said for Seshomaru though. I let out an angry sigh and stood between the two, "Listen all I ask for is you two to stop fighting for a few minutes so I can at least talk to you two."

I could see their muscles un-tense as we all sat down. Inuyasha and his group on the left and Sesshomaru and his on the right. I sat in the middle.

"Look I want to defeat Naraku just as much if not more than you two," I looked at both boys who were STILL in a dead eye lock with each other, "WILL YOU STOP!" My eyes began to glow as did my nails,

"Unless you two want to become wet dogs I suggest you stop focusing on each other and on the task at hand." They looked down and I calmed down.

"Now I can't do this alone and neither can you two. But together, the three of us should defeat him no problem," I lowered my head and in a quiet voice, "Please…I don't want to go back. Not to him." I could feel the boys' gazes on me,

"I was Naraku's slave. He had captured me while I was healing after a grueling battle and…and I was so weak… I had to be his slave. For three years I served him. If you only knew the horrors I've seen. He's looking for me, this I know. He will never stop looking for me. Those wasps and Kaugra are proof of it. All I ask for is your help, but I do understand if you don't want too"

Inuyasha looked angry and Sesshomaru, unresponsive.

"You've got my help." I smiled and hugged Inuyasha,

"Thanks pup."

I looked towards Sesshomaru who nodded. I smiled and even hugged him and I much lower voice,

"Thank you." His arms wrapped around me and held me tight and I buried my face in his neck. Afraid that the tears that had swelled in my eyes might become something more. But I wouldn't cry. Demons didn't cry.

But then again….

…I'm not all demon…
