Sorry about the pact cliffhanger time constraints I will clarify next chapter promise. Also thanks for the reviews

Sesshomaru continued to walk in the darkness. It was strange in his youth he was always alone living in silence but the silence never seemed to bother him now it seemed to make his skin crawl as his thoughts raced to back to one thing. "Kagura where are you?" he whispered as he looked ahead in the endless darkness a continued to walk. Sesshomaru sighed as the continued to walk in the endless darkness as he moved forward he saw a faint silvery flicker on the horizon. Sesshomaru did not hesitate as he took off at a full dash as the flicker finally started to twinkle and grow bigger as one flicker now resembled six pillars of light.

Sesshomaru slowed his pace as he reached what appeared to six doors. Sesshomaru hesitated as he scanned his surroundings if this was a trap he could at least be prepared. When nothing happened he inspected each of the doors five of them seemed to be normal sliding doors. While the sixth seemed more like a castle gate wrapped in chains and sealed by some type of lock but it lacked a keyhole. Sesshomaru slowly walked towards the castle gate as he inspected the locking device it quickly opened up to reveal a violet eye that stared right back at him.

"What kind of lock is this?" Sesshomaru asked as the looked into the eye. Sesshomaru slowly extended his hand towards the door as he rubbed his fingers together. His ears twitched.

"Help me."

"Why should I?" Sesshomaru mouthed as quickly spun around looking at the remaining five sliding doors as he waiting for a response. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and waited for what seemed like an eternity. His patience was rewarded with another faint cry.

"I can show you the way back to Kagura as well as how to hone the Tensiaga."

"You better not be wasting my time" Sesshomaru called as his eyes snapped open as he raced towards the middle door and with out a moments hesitation he flung it open as a bright blinding light pieced the darkness. Sesshomaru quickly brought his hand up in front of his eyes to blocking out the light right as he took the first step through the doorway into the light. Sesshomaru's first step did not connect with solid ground as Sesshomaru fell forward into the light. As the light receded around Sesshomaru, he was falling down head first, towards what looked like boulder-riddled plains Sesshomaru reflexively rolled forward as he reversed his direction to land on his feet as a slow gentle breeze whipped around the field as the deep green grass on the plain moved like a wave at sea.

"Please set me free."

Sesshomaru ran towards the voice as he looked around the large boulders he noticed a spire that had a seal planted on it. "Where are you?" Sesshomaru asked, as he looked at sealed metallic spire "I'm in the spire remove the seal and set me free."

"First tell me how to get back to Kagura and how to hone the Tensiaga if the information is of value I may if not that spire will be your tomb." Sesshomaru slowly turned his back on the spire as he continued to survey the field.

"I can help you protect your mother legacy and defeat Sasori." The feminine voice replied.

"If you're strong enough to defeat Sasori how could you be imprisoned in that Spire?" Sesshomaru asked as he evaluated the information.

"I cannot beat Sasori but with my help there is a slim chance you can." The voice replied.

"I will protect my mother legacy and defeat Sasori on my own I have no need for you." Sesshomaru slowly turned away from the spire and started to walk away.

"You will be back Sesshomaru. Next time I we will make a pact it will not just be free me." The feminine voice replied.

"I sincerely doubt that." Sesshomaru chided as he waded in to the taller grass. As he continued to advance into the unknown grass he halted as the grass suddenly came to an end as he thrust he hands through the grass and made an opening to stepping through he noticed that this field existed on the edge of nothing. There was no ground beyond that last row of grass only darkness above what looked like vortex. This was an island on the edge of the abyss. Sesshomaru felt the ground underneath start to give way as he quickly jumped back the ground were he once stood crumbled an was pulled into the vortex. The edged the grassland quickly started to give way and was begin to be pulled into the vortex. Sesshomaru scanned the coast as the corruption started to spread. Damn as he came to the realization at this rate there won't be any island left. Sesshomaru quickly raced back to the spire.

"Oh your back so soon I though your forage into the wilderness would have lasted a lot longer. O did I fail to mention the darkness devouring this island my mistake." The voice chided

Sesshomaru suppressed his urge to growl as he looked as looked back over his shoulder the stones had not fallen in yet but at the rate this island is being pulled it they don't much time he realized "how do I err we get out of here?" Sesshomaru asked as an edge of anger slipped into his voice.

"It's not going to be that easy this time first we make a pact." The voice whispered with just as much ire.

"A pact? No in a few minutes this island in going to be sucked in to that vortex. I don't have time for this." Sesshomaru called out, as his voice was full of anger.

"Well then I hope your ready to see what a waits us on the other side of the abyss at least I have some company" She replied and then hesitated before continued "Bad company but company none the less." She snickered as she waited for the encroaching end.

Sesshomaru eyes turned red as he let out a howl of pure rage. "What are your terms?" He asked.

"Sasori have you decided what we are going to report to Tenkai" Sakura asked as she the raced along the mountain path.

"At this point I don't suppose it matters in time we will have key and the legacy Sesshomaru still doesn't know who his mothers people were if he did things could become complicated especially if his mother left him any clues to his name sake." Sasori replied as he deceased his speed so that his movements were parallel to Sakura. "Why do you ask?"

"Maybe we should ask for backup I had a sense of uneasiness ever since we left Sesshomaru." Sakura replied.

"Uneasiness Sesshomaru will open the door and join us or I will use Kagura a means of controlling him and make him give us what we want. I will not fail this is our chance." Sasori murmured as his speed up again before he called back "Death."

"Are you sure his mother was a descendent of" Sakura formed her mouth to say Sesshomaru's mothers house name.

Sasori hand were a blur in motion as he backhanded Sakura the sheer force of the blow was enough to make her collide with the mountainside. "Enough Sakura I do not wish to discuss this any further. Tenkai has eyes and ears everywhere if he thinks we know too much we may be considered threat and try to have us eliminated. Once we have the amulets we may move more openly but until then we follow Tenkai he is current lord of the Dark Dragon clan for good reason his strength is unmatched and but soon that may very well change." Sasori interjected. As he slowly helped Sakura to her feet.
