Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha

Chapter 10- Kagura's End

"Where are we going exactly?"

"We'll be there by nightfall."

"I didn't ask you that idiot. I said where is this place we're going to?"

"Oh, it's a hidden place. You have to know where it is or you could never find it."

"That makes plenty of since."

"Why would it be hidden?"

"Lady Morshio likes her privacy I guess."

"How do you know where it is Bankotsu?"

"A family member showed it to me when I was little. But its a place you never forget."

"Shouldn't this lady be dead then?"

"She's not human. She's a youkai."

"If you ask another question Shippou I'll strangle you."

"You asked a question."

"Yeah but mine had a point."

"Would you guys just come on?"

"Feh, I'll come when I'm good and ready...which just happens to be now."

'With his shard detector gone, Inuyasha will be getting desperate. I must act quickly.'

"Did you call for me Naraku?"

"Yes, Kagura I did. I want you to get rid of Inuyasha and Bankotsu."

"But I didn't think they'd matter with Kafgome gone."

"Are you questioning me?"

"No, I'm not. What of the mink and slayer?"

"Leave them for now."

"Fine."

Kagura gave a small bow and left Naraku.

Inuyasha suddenly stopped. Bankotsu kept running a few feet and then realized he was alone. Inuyasha caught up but grabbed Bankotsu's arm when he tried to run again.

"Why are you stopping?"

"I think I can answer that for you."

Bankotsu looked up. Fiery and hate filled his eyes as Kagura landed in front of them.

"What the hell do you want?"

"I didn't come here to talk about what I want. I came here to kill you both."

Inuyasha and Bankotsu got ready to fight.

"Wait, if both of you die how will we bring Kagome back?"

"I can explain the way to you Inuyasha and you two can go."

"No way you go. You already know the way. Take Shippou with you."

"How cute, you two trying to save each other."

"Shut up wench."

"You'll eat your words."

Bankotsu picked Shippou up and began running leaving Inuyasha behind.

"Do you think we really should have left him?"

"Shh, we're almost there."

Bankotsu ran as fast as he could for five more minutes and then he stopped. He put Shippou down on the rocky ground.

"There's nothing but a huge mountain here. I can't smell anything."

Bankotsu grabbed the bone and with a sharp point on it cut his own hand. He walked up to a flat part of the mountain and smeared his blood on it. He waited a moment and then the wall moved revealing a small opening.

"Stay here and wait for Inuyasha." He then walked in and disappeared into the wall which closed behind him.

Kagura and Inuyasha were locked in battle. Both dodging the others attack.

"Maybe you are not as weak as I thought. But you are still too weak to defeat me."

"Keep telling yourself that."

They flew at each other again. Inuyasha aimed himself wrong and Kagura cut deep into his stomach. He fell to the ground on his feet gripping his stomach.

"I don't have to tell myself the obvious."

Inuyasha knew the wound was bad but he also knew he could use it to his advantage. He fell flat to his face.

Kagura walked over to him and saw that he wasn't breathing. She kicked him and there was no movement. She kneeled down and front of him.

Inuyasha moved fast. He sliced her head from her shoulders.

"Maybe you should really make sure I'm dead first wench."

He got slowly to his feet. The wound was already healing but he still walked with a slight limp. He caught Shippou's scent and began following it.

The passageway was small and dark. He could see the fire up ahead. Bankotsu sat down a few inches from it and waited.

He heard footsteps and then saw a woman sit down on the opposite side of the fire.

"Do you have what I need Bankotsu?"

"Yes I do."

He handed over the bone.

"Good we can get started then."

Shippou could smell blood in the air. He recognized it as Inuyasha's and Kagura's. He could smell them both coming his way.

'I hope it's Inuyasha and not Kagura with Inuyasha's blood all over her.'

It was traveling at a slow pace.

'Must be injured.'

The pace quickened when it got closer. Shippou closed his eyes.

'At least Bankotsu is out of harms way. I'll never tell Kagura how to get in.'

He opened his eyes and turned around. Standing there holding his stomach was Inuyasha.

"Where the hell is Bankotsu? Did he just abandon you?"

"No, he's inside there."

"What?"

"He'll be out soon. I'm glad your you and not Kagura."

"Yeah because your scared."

"No, I'm not."

"Feh." Inuyasha sat down and leaned against a tree. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

"My Lord do you smell that?"

"Yes, I smell the blood of my half breed brother."

"Will we go to it?"

"Yes, I think we will."
