Naraku Intervenes

"InuYasha, where exactly are we going?" Miroku asked for Sango whom didn't want to talk to InuYasha after he invited Kikyo to travel with them to find the remainder jewel shards.

"We are going to the West." Kikyo replied answering for InuYasha as they walked their way through the thick forest.

"Why the West? Are we going to see Kagome?" Miroku asked hopefully as Sango looked up to see InuYasha's response along with Kilala whom was lying on Sango's shoulder.

"Feh, a mere coincidence." InuYasha replied as his face turned a bit pink when Kikyo turned to look at him.

"I believe that Naraku and Kagome have the last reminder jewel shards with them and when both halves are put together they will be jointed again." Kikyo exclaimed as Miroku looked thoughtful at this aspect.

"And how would 'you' know this?" Sango said with a bit of hatred in her words as Kikyo turned to look at her emotionless.

"I've noticed Naraku's behavior as of lately. He's becoming reckless; I think he knows that Kagome has the last reminder jewel shards along with the wolf demon. He hasn't had any luck on finding any more jewel shards." Kikyo finished as Sango looked at her suspiciously.

"Course." Sango muttered so that only Miroku heard, InuYasha probably heard also.

The group continued to walk onward silently not talking amongst each other, the trees around them giving everything an ominous feeling. Sango couldn't help but think about Kagome and how she would feel when she saw them with Kikyo. She hated InuYasha at that moment. What was he thinking? That sum bag! She knew he was doing it out of pure spite, she just knew it!

"Sango, calm down, everybody can feel your hatred that you're flaring out. Just let things be for now." Miroku whispered to Sango as she just glared at the back of Kikyo's back and didn't comment at Miroku's words. Kilala had jumped on Miroku's shoulders rather than staying on Sango's.

Kikyo just smirked out at Sango's displeasure as Miroku tried to comfort Sango by holding her hand as they walked abnormally closely together while Sango kept her glare at Kikyo's and InuYasha's backs.

'So long since I have felt the warmth of another...it will be heaven to get my soul back from Kagome.' Kikyo thought angrily turning towards InuYasha.

"Why are you here?" Darien asked him, coldly.

"Why are you?" Naraku said back in the same tone.

Kagome knew they were in 'very' big trouble and it seemed like Darien knew it to by trying to buy them some time till Sesshomaru showed up which they both could feel his presence coming near them along with Kouga's. Kagome found that weird, what was Kouga doing here? Maybe she didn't sense who it really was right.

Naraku turned away from Darien in a sneer and looked at Kagome as if contemplating her. He was looking at her up and down making Darien growl heatedly as his eyes went back and forth to golden and of red.

"Nice to see you in kimono's Kagome, but I must say I would still rather prefer your other outfit that showed your skin more, wouldn't you agree?" Naraku asked Darien as he was seething, his eyes turned fully red now.

"Damn…" Kagome whispered still trying to get through the barrier that Naraku put up as Darien extended his claws charging at Naraku as he laughed in glee backing away from Darien.

Kagome turned back to Darien trying claw at Naraku and Naraku sending his poisonous bees at both Darien and Kagome.

"Kagome!" Kagome jumped and turned around to see Kouga and Sesshomaru on the other side of the barrier. Kagome turned back around as she felt the bees nearing her and ducked as it came charging at her and hit the barrier instead. Where Darien was, Kagome had no idea.

Kouga had jumped back but the bees didn't go beyond the barrier. Sesshomaru growled at this not having the slightest clue how Naraku could have done this without him knowing. The purple poisonous fog was growing around Kagome and she couldn't see Sesshomaru or Kouga anymore but she could still feel their presence. Kagome not knowing what else to do decided to just try to run through the fog and trying to find Darien through the mist.

"Kagome, 'no'. Don't move." Sesshomaru growled trying not to bring out his fear in his voice but Kagome had not heard his words as she raced though the fog coughing a little along the way as the poison was getting to her.

"Sesshomaru, what… can you break the barrier?" Kouga asked panicking.

"Naraku shouldn't have been able to place a barrier on my lands. Only somebody from within my home could have given permission to Naraku to do so." Sesshomaru said frowning extending his poisonous claws.

"So one of your allies have betrayed you! That's just wonderful! Any idea's who?" Kouga asked furiously as Sesshomaru slashed the barrier only cracking it.

"This Sesshomaru has an idea." Sesshomaru growled bringing out Tokijin.

The earth shucked, as there was a great explosion from afar in the deep dark mysterious forest. InuYasha tensed up.

"What was that?" Sango asked out loud as Kikyo looked up at the clouds to see Naraku's poisonous bees flying around.

"Naraku is near." Miroku exclaimed as InuYasha left the others behind and raced through the forest.

"InuYasha! We need to stick together!" Miroku called after him, but InuYasha was too far ahead to take in Miroku's words.

"Kilala!" Sango said as Kilala immediately jumped from Mirkou's shoulders and turned into a great youkai cat. Sango got onto Kilala's back grabbing Miroku's hand, helping him onto Kilala as she rose up into the air and chased after InuYasha. Kikyo looked after them frowning but made her way slowly into the woods without a care.

'Kagome… I'm coming.' Was all InuYasha could think of as he smelt Kagome's blood in the air.

InuYasha was so observed on trying to find Kagome through the thick forest that he didn't even realize that he had raced through a barrier in the process knocking somebody down through the muddled purple poisonous fog.

"Dammit! WINDSCAR!" InuYasha shouted.

Darien coughed thankfully as InuYasha cleared up the air around them. Darien tried to get back up after InuYasha knocked him over but found that he could not, he wanted to find Kagome, but the poison was far into him and he past out on the forest ground out of exhaustion.

InuYasha looked down at whom he thought was Sesshomaru, but at closer inspection noticed that he was two inches shorter, had no markings on his face, and he had a heart locket around his neck and knew it couldn't have been Sesshomaru but of Darien. InuYasha was at an inner conflict, what should he do? Should he leave Darien to try to find Kagome? This wasn't his cold-hearted brother though so he couldn't muster the heart to leave Darien, yet he needed to find Kagome.

'I can't see… or breath, where's my bow and arrow when I need it?' Kagome thought to herself as she stopped running blindly into the fog out of breath just as somebody touched her shoulder.

Kagome let out a high pitched scream punching whoever it was in their stomach with her elbow and twisting around lowering down by knocking the person over with her feet. When Kagome heard the person fall with a 'thud' she tried to make another blind run for it but just as she was about to somebody grabbed her around the waist placing there hand over her mouth and pushing her closer to their chest.

"Silence, Kagome." Sesshomaru whispered in her ear as Kagome relaxed somewhat a bit relived just as Sesshomaru released his hand from Kagome's mouth.

"Arigato, Kouga!" Kagome exclaimed happily as Kouga handed Kagome's bow and arrows smirking sheepishly as Sesshomaru reluctantly released Kagome of his hold.

"Sorry about that." Kagome said as Kouga rubbed his bruised stomach.

"It's nothing."

"I have no idea where Darien or Naraku is." Kagome said arching her bow up to the sky then releasing her arrow as is glowed pink clearing the air a little.

"This Sesshomaru will get Darien. Get inside the castle." Sesshomaru ordered as Kagome frowned.

"Sesshomaru broke the barrier that the damned Naraku put up." Kouga seethed.

"So that was the explosion I heard?" Kagome asked impressed.

Just then Bankotsu and Jakotsu appeared before them, but that was impossible, they were dead!

"Naraku's puppets." Kouga growled as Jakotsu's retractable sword Jakotsutō swung towards Kouga and Bankotsu's wield his giant halberd Banryū at Sesshomaru.

"Naraku's poisonous insects!" Kagome cried as a whole wave of them came straight towards them as Kagome notched another arrow, drew the string back to her cheek and let the arrow fly towards its targets. Kagome's aim was true and the blast of her purification energy turned the wave of insects nothing but dust.

"Ahhh!" Kagome screamed as Naraku came up towards her and aimed his tentacles through Kagome's stomach, Kagome's blood spilling everywhere.

"Kagome!" Kouga cried punching Naraku's puppet in the face.

Sesshomaru sliced Bankotsu in half without a thought and used teleportation with Tōkijin converting Sesshomaru into pure red energy, while slicing through Naraku in his pathway, but it seem that it was also a puppet. While Kouga was still fighting the puppet Jakotsu Sesshomaru kneeled down towards Kagome as she was breathing heavily eyes glazed over. Sesshomaru genteelly picked up Kagome and put her in his arms bridal style.

"Kouga, stopping playing around and kill the annoying thing." Sesshomaru growled as Kouga glared at him half annoyed.

"I'm trying you prick!" Kouga snapped at him as Kouga finally ripped Jakotsu's head off as it turned into dust before his feet.

"Milord!" Haruto and Haruki came running towards them.

"Haruki put the barriers back up and make sure Naraku nor his minions can break through again."

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru."

"Haruto, lead InuYasha and Darien back into the castle, I will deal with them shortly."

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru." Haruto bowed and went into the forest to retrieve InuYasha and Darien.

"InuYasha? What's he doing here?" Kouga asked confused.

"Take Kagome inside and keep guard of her." Sesshomaru ordered handing Kagome over to Kouga as Sesshomaru went deeper inside the forest.

"Where are you going?" Kouga shouted after him but Sesshomaru was gone.

A/N this is short huh?
