"There. There's the castle I last saw him. He was talking to the young Lord." Sango said, pointing through the trees.

"Strange..." Said Sheumaru, thoughtfully, speaking more to herself than any of the others.

"What?" Kagome whispered next to her.

"Nothing... just the scent in the air, reminds me of someone I knew before I was trapped on the mountain.. but they should be dead by now..." She trailed off.

"That is weird." Kogome agreed. Shippo nodded on her shoulder.

"I see you have found me.." A deep voice chuckled from the clearing, a man in white ape fur was there, crouching.

"Naraku!" Miroku yelled, frustrated and angry.

"Sango.. you failed." Naraku ignored him, facing the young girl he had manipulated.

"You will die for what you did!" Sango shouted, reaching up to her boomerang.

"Pity really.. I was looking forward to having you on my side.." Naraku cooed.

"Is it really you Onigumo?" Sheumaru asked stepping in front of all the others.

"How do you know his real name?" Sango asked.

"Kikyo was healing him in a cave, and his name back then was Onigumo but how do you-" InuYasha was cut across by his sister.

"Haven't you ever wondered where he got those burn marks and broken legs, brother?" Her voice was low and menacing.

"Onigumo is dead! He foolishly let demons control his body, and thus I was born, the demon Naraku." He said angrily.

"And yet, Onigumo's heart still beats wildly inside your chest. He is scared." Sheumaru pointed out. Her voice sickly sweet.

"You said earlier you had no blood lust for humans.. What do you classify this as?" InuYasha had joined her, pointing Tetsusiga in Naraku's direction.

"Would you like to explain Naraku?" She cooed.

"I did nothing I regret." He said simply.

Sheumaru held up her claws, cracking them the tips burst into flames, "it's like staring into a burning sun isn't it?" She chuckled darkly.

He remained silent.

"If you choose not to tell, then I will. Friends, brother, meet my mother's killer." She lunged at him, not waiting. She couldn't anymore. Seeing him alive and well made her sick. Made her foam at the mouth.

He dodged, but the ape outfit caught the flames on her claws, it singed, and turned a dark brown in the flame.

"Sheumaru!" InuYasha yelled, running to catch up with them, "get out of the way!"

She ducked in time to see Tetsusiga cut a few silver hairs from the top of her head.

"If I can burn you alive at eleven Naraku, imagine what I could do now!" She roared, she got him across his ape mask, It singed just like the arm did.

An arrow that glowed bright purple came wizzing past her ear, it stuck Naraku in the arm.

The ground began to shake and below the ape clothing burst free oak-like tentacles.

"You're only fueling the fire!" She shrieked, clawing at the wood, indeed the wood began to burst into flames, the colors danced in her golden eyes as she glared up at Naraku.

"When you go to hell, say hi to mother for me won't you?!" She growled, jumping high in the air and grabbing her sword from its sheath, sliced his head clean off his shoulders.

"You think that can kill me?!" Naraku laughed evilly.

"It's a puppet, Kagome, shoot him in his heart." Sheumaru heard Sango whisper.

"Okay," she said grunting slightly, she was notching another arrow.

"InuYasha, duck!" Sheumaru grabbed her brother's arm pulling him down mid jump. As she did so a second shimmering purple arrow shot next to her ears.

The arrow hit his heart and Naraku fell, but what hit the ground wasn't a body, but a small wooden doll. Sheumaru picked up the hair wrapped around the doll.

"We could have fun with him," she laughed darkly, "Kagome, may I see one of those see through things you possess?"

"Uh-sure." She said, they had all reached the siblings after she shot the arrow.

"The castle.. it's gone." Sango said, surprised.

"Like the puppet, it was an illusion." Sheumaru growled, placing the hair in the bag and tucking it away in her kimono.

"What do you plan on doing with that?" Asked Miroku.

"Like I said, something fun." She walked ahead of them, needing time to think about all that went down.
