Hey everyone sorry for the delay. I'll try to update more. Merry Christmas to you all.

Kagome and Rin sat at the head table. Kagome was fuming with her arms crossed tightly over her chest. Rin was staring at all the different kinds of food on the tables and opening and closing her mouth. Hakuzo sidled over from where he was standing and speaking to some demon and stood over them.

"Why the expression of fury. This is supposed to be a celebration." Hakuzo said with a shark-like grin.

"It won't be a celebration when Lord Sesshomaru comes" Rin piped up. Hakuzo turned a smile on her.

"of course, you must still be hoping that he will come." Hakuzo said

"He is coming" Rin said stubbornly glancing over Hakuzo's shoulder.

"Pray tell , what makes you believe that?" He questioned.

"I can see him." Rin answered back. Kagome looked at where Rin had looked at gasped. Sesshomaru was standing at the front of the hall, sword drawn. Hakuzo turned.

"My lord Sesshomaru!" Hakuzo said, not looking worried in the least "Have you come to join the celebrations?"

"You took something that belongs to me" Sesshomaru stated coldly gliding forward slowly.

"Not yours anymore" Hakuzo said cheerfully. He unsheathed his own weapon. A beautiful naginata the colors of black and gold. (A naginata is a japanese halberd)

The center of the hall cleared as demons ran to escape and some went to edge to watch. The battle was about to begin.
