"Kanna." A voice called into the darkness.
A lone white figure stepped from the darkened brush. She wore a brilliant kimono with long sleeves going down to her knees. In her left hand she held a small hand held mirror, engraved with blossoming sakura flowers.
"Yes master." She said coldly in a whisper.
"Show me the whereabouts of Inuyasha and his little followers." Naraku stated turning as Kanna brought up the mirror in front of her.
Closing her eyes a white glow started from her feet wrapping around her legs like a mist. The glow continued until her whole body was caressed in white when finally a light flashed from the mirror and all was dark again, except for the mirror which now showed a picture of the silver-haired hanyou vampire.
"Hm." Naraku breathed as he looked into the mirror. After a few moments of silence, Naraku straightened. "Mirror. Take me to Inuyasha."
With that command the white mirror flew out of Kanna's hand into the night sky while Kanna and Naraku chased after it.

"Inuyasha?"
The silver-haired hanyou turned to see Kagome walking down the stone path to where he was standing in the darkness of the trees. Turning back to his stargazing, he jumped slightly when Kagome's hand touched his shoulder.
"Inuyasha? Is something wrong?" Kagome asked in a whisper to him with caring etching every line of her face.
Inuyasha stared into her chocolate brown eyes and couldn't bring himself to worry her.
"It's nothing." Inuyasha replied blandly.
Kagome's hand slipped from his shoulder as she turned to take a seat on a gray stone bench not far away.
Feeling an air of dissapointment, Inuyasha turned and walked to where Kagome sat. Kneeling in front of her he lifted her chin to stare into his eyes.
"Nothing is going to happen Kagome. Do not be worried." Inuyasha breathed to her.
The chocolate brown eyes teared at the edges, letting a drop silently roll down her porcelin cheek.
Brushing it away, Inuyasha caressed her face, tracing the outlines of her jaw and down to her chin. Draggin her chin closer, he laid a gentle kiss on her lips, earning a satisfied breath from Kagome.
"KAGOME!" A scream screeched as an exhausted looking Rin sprinted from the mansion.
"KAGOME! They're attacking the house! Sesshoumaru was holding them off in the front hallway.
Just then Sesshoumaru also came running out at top speed in his battle hamaka and swords drawn.
"Inuyasha. Wield. Naraku approaches." Sesshoumaru called as he skidded to a stop a few yards from them to turn towards the mansion.
Overhead, hundreds of miasma wasps glew over the mansion heading straight for the small group. A red gulf of light enfolded Inuyasha leaving him transformed in his battle gear. Unsheathing his sword, he made ready to attack.
"WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha shouted as he held his blade high above his head, bringing it down with a crash.
About 300 of the wasps were turned to dust, but the remaining hundreds continued their attack, lunging for Rin and Kagome who were huddled together helpless.
Quickly, Sesshoumaru brought them down with tokajin, killing the ones swarming about the girls.
Suddenly about 300 hundred or so flew over the mansion roof to join the others.
"They just keep coming goddamit!" Inuyasha shouted as he took down another bunch while the newcomers were flying towards him.
"WIND TUNNEL!" Were the words that everyone heard yelled from the mansion. There stood Miroku untying his right hands from the dark threads of dark magic that surrounded it. A fire blast erupted from his hand as well as a whirl of wind, sending half of the population into his palm. Enclosing it once more, Miroku looked up in time to save Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, look out behind!"
Inuyasha ducked as Naraku's sword stabbed into the oak of a tree.
"Die, hanyou!" He barked as he swung again, the miasma on his sword dripping.
Jumping from in front of Naraku he led him into the larger part of the garden area. Bringing down his sword, Inuyasha once again unleashed his windscar.
A ball of miasma swirled in front of Naraku backfiring the hit to Inuyasha who slammed into the ground.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed seeing him hurt.
Sesshoumaru quickly left Miroku to finish off the last of the wasps so he could help his brother.
"You will die today Inuyasha." Naraku told him as his sword hovered over Inuyasha's heart.
"Naraku!" He turned as his name waas shouted to come face to face with his larger opponent, Sesshoumaru. Naraku quickly turned back to finish the job, but Inuyasha had flipped the sword out of his hands with his feet. Inuyasha stoof quickly throwing the maisma filled sword hundreds of feet away.
"Hm." Naraku commented as the two brothers surrounded him. A swirl of miasma encircled Naraku, as Inuyasha covered his sensitive nose. Sesshoumaru tried to lunge at Naraku, but failed to see the hidden dagger within the miasma.
The dagger plunged into his abdomen bringing him to a knee.
"Sesshoumaru!" Rin screamed as she saw the man fall.
Sesshoumaru's head turned quickly to search for her. "Rin," he whispered as she came running to help. "Stay back."
Not hearing Sesshoumaru's warning, Rin continued on while Sesshoumaru tried to stand and keep Naraku away. Sesshoumaru lunged towards Naraku with tokajin aimed towards his neck. Naraku onmly moved in time to get a deep gash in the side of his neck which bled down his shirt.
Quickly Naraku turned on his heel and flicked the dagger across Rin's throat as she stepped up to Sesshoumaru.
Her eyes widened as she saw the blade and her hands encircled her neck finding crimson blood creeping from the wound. She fell face forward onto the soft grass as Sesshoumaru's anger heightened.
"Naraku." Sesshoumaur stated deadly. Once again Sesshoumaru lunged at Naraku, bringing in Tokajin for the kill. Naraku was about to jump up again to avoid the hit when he found a sword stabbed into his back. Turning he saw Inuyasha with a smirk. Sesshoumaru's blow hit him in the abdomen as he gushed blood from his mouth.
"KANNA!" He yelled clutching his wounds.
A girl flew down on a farmiliar white feather, Naraku grabbing onto it as it swooped.
"This is not over dog-demons!" Naraku cackled as he flew out of sight in his miasma cloud.
"Rin." Sesshoumaru gasped as he knelt beside the girl. Blood flowed from her wound. Checking for a pulse, Sesshoumaru found a slight irregular one.
Picking up Rin quickly as if she were comparable to a piece of paper, Sesshoumaru turned to Inuyasha.
"Check the others, I must get Rin to the hospital." He yelled as he took off in flight on his cloud of black and white.
Inuyasha stared after Sesshoumaru, seeing him change into his regular street clothes on the flight.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as he saw the black haired woman standing from her place on the ground near the stone bench.
Inuyasha ran quickly and embraced his love.
"Kagome, thank cami you're safe." He whispered as he kissed the top of her head with light pecks.
Tears flowed freely from Kagome's eyes now as she felt the blood in his clothing on her hands.
"Inuyasha." Kagome sobbed.
