I know I'm way too obsessed with this story that I just couldn't seem to stop writing tonight! Hope you guys like it!

Disclaimer: guess what I'm a fan of LOTR and Inuyasha writing a fanfiction on Fanfiction; is it really that much of a stretch to suppose I don't own either? Yeah? Cause I don't.

Kagome POV

As my body arced out over the edge I formed a barrier along my skin, it was extremely weak though. As I fell towards the icy water I honestly hoped that Sesshomaru would continue to help them eradicate this world of it's evils. I'm so sorry Sessho, I wish it didn't have to be this way.

I could feel my body begin to fail me. You go do the rest. The last thing I heard before losing consciousness was a heart broken howl.

Sesshomaru POV

I saw the host of some ten thousand orcs easily from my vantage point above Helm's Deep. They were still miles away, they would likely arrive in the night. I went to inform the king, he was with Gandalf, Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn, along with a handful of his own men in his throne room. In my opinion this was a much more suitable castle for a king.

"King Theoden, son of Thengel, this Sesshomaru has a report."

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru?"

"A host is headed here to Helm's Deep. This Sesshomaru estimates it to be ten thousand strong at least."

"All of Isengard has been emptied." Aragorn said.

"Ten thousand?" Theoden said with a slight intake of breath.

"Worry not, this Sesshomaru will leave now and destroy them all if that is your wish."

"I cannot allow you to protect all of us, let them come and break against these walls."

"This Sesshomaru has only been here for a number of hours and this one can already see the fault in that plan. Your walls do have a weakness, if you are smart you will guard it."

"What weakness is that?"

"The drainage gate, this one has seen many ways a small weakness such as this is used to the utmost and the preconceived winner has fallen many a time. That is all this one wishes to speak on the matter, they will be here by nightfall, prepare yourselves instead of speaking." I walked away from him. Such a stupid King, he will not see his own faults. His lack of tact will kill everyone in this castle with the meager people he has of fighting age.

I returned to my place in the clouds, slowly letting myself fall into a sleep filled with nightmares; I would rest until the enemy arrived.

'Kagome, where are you!' I screamed into the emptiness that surrounded me. I fell to my knees broken. I no longer wished to live, without her, in this world, what was the point of living?

'Kagome!' I cried until my eyes no longer shed any tears. They had forever dried, I would never cry again. My Kagome had softened my heart of ice, but I would slowly refreeze it. It would be difficult but I was confident that I would be able to do it.

I watched as in my dream Kagome brushed her hand against my cheek, I closed my eyes and leaned into her soft touch. A small shriek made me open my eyes, every inch of Kagome's skin was pierced by arrows. She looked at me and tears streamed down her face, "Keep fighting for me Sessho."

I was suddenly awoken by a horn. I was on alert immediately, I looked down expecting the orcs to be apon us, but it was a different host that presented itself, walking straight up the bridge and the door was quickly opened for them to enter. I was slightly confused by this new turn of events. I decided to make things interesting. I positioned my cloud right above the top of the stairs then I allowed it to dissipate. I dropped like a rock onto the top step, landing in a lithe crouch with such force that a crack appeared beneath my feet and a cloud of dust rose around me.

I stared down the elves that watched me warily. I could feel my beast fight to get out, I shoved it away with such force that it cowered in a corner of my mind. I knew my eyes must have flashed red for a moment because the elves looked as if they had seen a ghost. "Lord Sesshomaru." I turned my head to see Aragorn calling out to me. "These elves are our allies. Please do not skirmish."

"Very well," I crossed my arms and watched as Aragorn continued down the steps and greeted the elf commander as if he had known him for a long time. If Aragorn trusts them I have no choice. I huffed in annoyance as the situation was shown for what it was.

Kagome would probably be disappointed with how rude I am being, I almost smirked at the realization. I would expect nothing less from her.

The elves were obviously prepared for battle, they were needed. Rohan was so desperate that it was arming its own pups and elderly.

I set my eyes on the horizon and watched for the coming army, I knew Aragorn and the elf were talking about me even if it was in a foreign tongue. I cared not; I only wished for this war to be over as soon as possible so I could fulfill my destiny and then rejoin my beloved in the afterlife.

The breeze was teasing me with Kagome's scent; it was so slight it was as if it were merely a memory of her scent, which it probably was.

I waited eagerly, anticipating the black blood that I was soon to spill. As the night got blacker my ears picked up on the heavy tread of their feet, my eyes could discern the small torch lights that were nearly a mile away. "They shall be here within the hour." My words were short, directed at the man standing beside me.

"We are as prepared as we can be." Aragorn replied.

I looked him in the eye for the first time. "Do not die."

"Don't die on us either."

"That is not what this one meant. Live a long life; honor my miko's sacrifice by living your life and giving your all towards everything you wish to achieve."

His eyebrows drew together for a moment, "I will do my best to live up to the gift she has given me."

"You will make a good king someday."

His eyes widened when I said that he began to say something but he was cut off before he could even start by an orc horn. Finally, they are here. I could feel my beast roil, ready to be released. It's not like I could blame him, I barely let him out, I preferred to think with my rational mind.

"Aragorn, allow me to unleash my wrath apon them. Allow me to punish them for Kagome's death, I am no good behind walls of stone."

"Very well, please wait for us to send a few volleys and allow the men to feel as though they had some part in it."

I nodded in agreement. Naturally one of the elderly messed up the first volley since he was too weak to continue to hold the string back. If Kagome were here, she could down a legion with a single quiver of arrows.

I allowed my sadness and ager to simmer under the surface, when the orcs began raising ladders I turned to Aragorn, "Now I go."

"I cannot stop you can I?"

"Indeed," I turned to jump over the wall but after a moment of thought I looked back at him, "This one meant his words, you will indeed make a good king someday; live on for her, and if needed for me as well." With that I jumped over the wall.

His cry of, "Wait!" Was far too late. I began to change into my true form as I hurtled to the ground. The weight of my body falling made a crater on impact and the resulting quake made the orcs lose their balance. I howled to the sky, I allowed myself to begin drooling all over them, my poison quickly melting every being it touched. I wiped out a legion with a swipe of my tail, this was mere child's play. I was expecting it to be much more difficult, I was almost disappointed.

I quickly dispatched nearly all of them but them one got the idea to use my one weakness against me, my missing foreleg. Soon the orcs had a new plan, I barked out a laugh as they surrounded me and began to throw ropes to bind me. The moment the ropes made contact they began to melt, even my sweat secreted poison in this form if I so wished it. I noticed my youki was beginning to run low so I changed back into my human form, my whip would be sufficient, and the cheers coming from the castle behind me were not so loud to my human ears.

Finally when my youki was nearly extinguished I retreated back into Helm's Deep. I jumped the wall where Aragorn was, "This one will allow you to finish the last of them." There was only a bit over two thousand left, they should be able to handle them. I leaned against a wall to rest, Is this what you wanted me to do Kagome?

Treebeard POV

We had finally defeated that foolish wizard that destroyed my friends. We had pulled down the dam he had created, but I was now receiving information of something strange. I stood over the glowing pink ball with the rest of the committee of trees as we tried to decide what it could be.

I hesitantly touched the ball with a finger, flowers began to sprout from my bark, "Great Eru…what is this." It definitely wasn't a creature of evil, it emitted purity with every pulse. "We…will… present this… to the… white wizard. He…will know."

Hey guys guess what since I got so many reviews within the first hour that posted it I thought why not so here's your next chapter already! And its pretty long for me so yay again! Three in a night, what am I thinking? Maybe another sooner than you think, I'm not sure what my schedule will be like at all the rest of the week. I love all you guys, don't forget to leave me a quick note if you don't mind (:

Until Next Time,
