Hey peeps. Been awhile, I know, but I've been busy. And I'm gunna be busy over spring break too. So on with da chapter!!!
Chapter 13---
((A/N; I did a small time skip so quick recap; Mitsuki is stuck inside of Mt. Hakurei with Inuyasha and his peeps, plus Sin. And San is with Sesshomaru outside of the mountain. We'll start inside, with Mitsuki, Sin, and the Inu-peeps.))
"Naraku you bastard!!" Inuyasha screamed.
Naraku's bodiless head laughed, as one of his tentacles lifted the motionless body of Bankotsu up. Mitsuki became frantic struggling to break free of Naraku's tentacles.
"Bankotsu!!"
No answer.
"Bankotsu…!!" but still his body lay motionless; unresponsive. Then Naraku reached down to Bankotsu, and dug into his arm, removing the jewel shards. And Bankotsu's body dissolved, and his bones fell into the pit of blackness below them.
"B…Ban…kotsu…" Mitsuki stared in horror. "Bankotsu…Bankotsu…" she kept repeating. The yelling of Inuyasha and the others around her became meaningless noise.
"Mitsuki…" Sin said, with a warning tone, standing ontop of one of the fleshy wall's leges.
Suddenly the tentacles around Mitsuki exploded, but she still floated in the same spot; her head was bent down, and her hair fell in front of her eyes.
"What the…" Naraku stared at the girl. How had she broken free?
"Naraku…"
"Damn… she's pissed." Sin said, taking a small step back.
"Naraku!!" Mitsuki screamed in a fit of rage. She put out her hand; open palmed, towards Naraku, and a shield formed around his head. He choked and coughed.
"Wh-what the hell?!" he said surprised. "I can't b-breath!" he gasped.
Mitsuki looked at Naraku with such hatred it made him truly scared, even with the tears running down her cheeks.
Inuyasha and the peeps stared, also slightly afraid of Mitsuki.
"What the h-hell?" Inuyasha said.
"I-if she keeps that up—"
"She'll kill him!" Sango finished Miroku's sentence.
They all stared as Naraku slowly suffocated; slowly died. Something they couldn't manage to do together, a single person was doing it so easily, seemingly without effort.
Naraku's air ran out, and his eyes rolled into the back of his head, his gasps of air going un answered. Then one person's yell made everyone stop and look.
"Mitsuki!" Sin yelled in a strong voice. "That is enough. It is not yet time for him to die," she said calmly.
Mitsuki glanced back at Naraku and sighed, reluctantly releasing him. He gasped at the sudden supply of air. She floated down to the ledge in front of an entrance.
Sin threw a small piece of Bankotsu's bone at Mitsuki. She caught it easily.
"Don't worry. Karada is close by." Sin said. Mitsuki looked with semi-wide eyes, then nodded, and turned and walked out of the passage behind her, leaving the others to whatever fate they faced.
Inuyasha snapped back to reality. "Why the hell didn't you let her kill him?!" he barked at his sister (no pun intended). "No matter how much I want to be the one to kill Naraku… Why?!"
"Because it's not time yet," she said, expressionless. "Good bye little brother," and with that she faded into thin air.

A few minutes later;
Sesshomaru, Jaken, and San made their way towards Mt. Hakurei, when the ground shook. San stumbled, but before she fell Sesshomaru caught her. She looked up at his face. It was rather close. She blushed and stood back up. "Th-thank you…" The ground shook again and they all looked towards the mountain.
The three watched as Mt. Hakurei collapsed, and a large orb of light exploded out of the top, then landed somewhere near the foot of the deceased mountain.
Sesshomaru began to float up into the air. It took San and Jaken a fraction of a second to realize he was about to fly off, and jumped onto him; Jaken holding firmly to Sesshy's fluff, and San holding onto his armor, careful not to stab herself on the spikes.
"You could warn us before you fly off!" San said, slightly pissed off. Sesshomaru made no response.
As they flew to the spot where the orb had landed, two figures came into view. One was strange, with spikes and tentacles sticking out of its back. The other was in a priestess outfit. San realized that one of the people was Kikyo. The other took longer to recognize.
It wasn't until they were about twenty feet away that she realized it was Naraku. Then, he stabbed through Kikyo's chest with a tentacle, sending her flying into a river of miasthma far below.
"Lady Kikyo..!" San said, starring in horror.
As soon as Sesshomaru set down, San ran over and looked over the edge into the river, trying to see Kikyo's body. Nothing.
San hadn't realized Naraku had left until Inuyasha had come up behind her and picked up Kikyo's broken bow.
"Inuyasha…" she looked at him, seeing that he was in pain.
Inuyasha turned to Sesshomaru and accused him of not saving Kikyo. But of course, Sesshomaru, being the butt we all know he can be, said that it was Inuyasha's fault. San was horrified at how heartless he was being. And as he turned away, San couldn't help it. She marched up to him. He turned just in time to see her hand.
Her hand struck his face, causing it to turn and a large reddened spot was on the right side of his face.
"How can you be so cruel?!" she yelled at him. "Inuyasha just lost someone dear to him! You could be at least a little less of an ass hole!" tears were building in her eyes.
Jaken stared, his jaw dropped. She just hit Lord Sesshomaru!!
Sesshomaru also looked with wide eyes. But the expression soon left his face and the bored look he always wore took its' place.
But before he could say anything, San was walking off.
"Where are you going you insolent little girl?! Apologize to Lord Sesshomaru!!" Jaken screeched.
She stopped, but didn't turn around. "Tell Rin… that I'm sorry." And she continued walking.
Sesshomaru 'humph'-ed, and started walking the opposite direction. Who cared if she left? Just one less worry for him to have tag along.
But Rin hadn't taken it so easily. When she found out, she'd started to cry. And didn't stop crying. She started blaming Jaken, then screamed for Sesshomaru to bring her back. After a couple of hours, Sesshy experienced his first migraine.

San sat on the edge of a river staring into the water. A crack in the bushes behind her, made her jump. She was surprised to see Sesshomaru trudge through the brush. But the weirdest thing was, he wasn't wearing his armor.
"What do you want?" she asked angrily turning back to the water.
"I wanted to apologize…" he said leaning down next to her, his voice soft by her ear.
Strange… he said more that one word…
San turned to look at him. "You are?" she asked in disbelief.
He put his hand on her shoulder. "Yes, I am."
She stood up and walked a couple feet away. "Are you feeling okay…?"
Sesshomaru stood up as well. "Yeah, why do you ask…?" he said walking closer.
"Y-you just seem, different," she said backing up into the tree.
He put his hand on the tree near her head and leaned closer. "You still haven't accepted my apology…" his voice a seductive purr.
San swallowed hard. Something didn't seem… "Why should I?"
"Why are you so defensive…? Well, if you wont accept an apology, then…" he leaned even closer, their faces only inches away.
Her heart was beating a million miles an hour.
"What's with that frightened look..?" he asked, with a small smirk crossing his face. "I'm just showing you how I feel…" he whispered. Then his lips forced themselves on hers.
She squeeked, attempted to push away but… This wasn't right, she knew it, and yet, it was Sesshomaru. At least it looked like him… Why was he acting this way?
All these questions rushed through her mind, but she relaxed just a little. Sesshomaru removed his had from the tree and put it on her shoulder. Then started pulling her top off.
Okay. Now she knew something was wrong.
San attempted to push him away, but then he wrapped his other arm around her to keep her from struggling.
…
Wait…
His other arm?!
There wasn't a single doubt in her mind now. This person was not Sesshomaru. So she pushed as hard as she could, but the man didn't budge. So she tried to kick him. But the sudden pull from the right jolted her, throwing the kick off.
A dark laugh came from above her as the pressure on her lips was released; she gasped for breath.
"So you came, eh, Sesshomaru..?"
"Naraku you despicable vermin, what are you doing?"
Naraku?! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwww!!!!! San felt like throwing up. She opened her eyes.
"Sessh—" Naraku slapped her.
"You don't need to talk, wench."
Sesshomaru almost seemed to growl.
"Well, I'm sorry I cant stay and chat but, we must take our leave," Naraku said. Then jumped into the air to fly away.
"Sesshomaru!!" San screamed.
