Author's Notes: Oh goodness but I think that the end of my story is coming to an end. I do know for sure that is not this chapter though. I just want to thank all the readers and the reviewers for their support.

Chapter Twenty-One
They're Our Saviors
Kenshin and the others arrived near the castle grounds so Kenshin gave orders to stop.
"Alright everyone, we're going to rest here." Kenshin said. The warriors began to settle down and they started to sleep. Inuyasha went to Kenshin and Kenshin bowed.
"You don't have to do that Kenshin." Inuyasha said. "We don't want anyone to suspect I'm here."
"Yes sir I'm sorry." Kenshin said.
"Don't worry about it." Inuyasha said. "I'll stand out for the look out."
"There is no need for that Inuyasha." Kenshin said. "Lady Kanade is already in position for that and she will reveal Naraku's worst fear before battle."
"Oh okay and what fear is that?" Inuyasha asked. Kenshin nodded his head side to side not knowing the answer.
"Young prince, we have something for you." Kenshin said. Kenshin started looking through his things and he took out a helmet. "This will protect your identity until you want to reveal yourself. The metal is light so it will not be hard on your ears."
"Who commissioned this?" Inuyasha asked.
"Sotaru did." Kenshin answered.
"I must personally thank him." Inuyasha said. "Thank you, Kenshin."
"You're welcome sir." Kenshin said. Inuyasha started walking away and Kenshin went to sleep. Inuyasha went to where his things were and he sat down. He rested his body on the ground and he sighed deeply.
"I will fight until the end." Inuyasha thought. "I will not loose even if it costs me my life at end making sure he is gone in the process."
In the castle, the sun was rising so morning was coming. The rays of the sun were hitting Kagome's eyes so she began to stir.
"It's morning already." Kagome said groggy. There was a knock on Kagome's door and she wondered who it was. "Come in."
The door opened and it was her parents with a tray full of food. Miroku put down the tray of food and it contained the amount for four people.
"What's this all about?" Kagome asked curiously.
"It's nothing dear." Sango answered. Kagome discreetly felt her mother's aura and her eyes went wide open.
"Congratulations mother!" Kagome said excited.
"I told you we couldn't keep it off for a long time." Miroku said grinning.
"You wanted to keep this a secret from me." Kagome said hurt. "Why?"
"I didn't know how you would feel having a little brother or little sister so much later in life." Sango answered.
"Oh mother you worry about the smallest things." Kagome said smiling. Kagome grabbed a piece of toast and she took a bite.
"I told you we have an understanding daughter." Miroku said. "She's grown so beautifully and maturely."
"Thank you, father." Kagome said. "Please come join me for breakfast."
"We will gladly join you." Sango said smiling. Miroku and Sango began eating breakfast with Kagome and Kagome was feeling her mate very near with her mark.
"I know he is baby girl." Kagome thought. "We can't make a scene just yet."
In the castle garden, Kaede was speaking with Izayoi and Jiro on her lap and they were speaking of the events that have gone ever since the king and the prince "past on".
"The only thing that we have beautiful in these lands is the castle garden." Izayoi said. "This is only place where I feel at peace."
"I understand what you mean milady." Kaede said.
"There have been no animals for us to hunt." Izayoi said. "I'm glad that we stock up food everyone."
"Even some of our people moved away because of this." Kaede said.
"Sometimes I wish I could do the same." Izayoi said. "I have a duty to my family and my people here."
"Yes milady." Kaede said. "How did she do it?"
"What are you talking about, Lady Kaede?" Izayoi asked confused.
"You know what I mean milady." Kaede answered. "How did Jiro come to be?"
Izayoi finally understood what she meant but she didn't want to be rude about it either.
"We can speak about when everything is back to normal Lady Kaede." Izayoi said.
"So that means what I think it means?" Kaede asked.
"Yes it does and this must not be repeated." Izayoi answered.
"Everything will be fine milady." Kaede said. "Milady, Jiro and you must go with Kagome."
"Is everything okay with her?" Izayoi asked worried.
"Everything is fine." Kaede answered. "There is a battle that will happen in a few hours."
"Okay Kaede." Izayoi said. "Who are these people?"
"They are our saviors." Kaede said. "I must go and prepare beds, herbs, and bandages for the wounded."
Kaede and Izayoi walked to the castle with Jiro following. Kaede went to get some help so Izayoi went to Kagome's room.
In Naraku's study, Naraku was very pensive and he was grinning.
"You see what I have accomplished with my ruling father!" Naraku said. "A greater kingdom than what my pathetic little brother could ever create! Everyone kneels down to me when I pass by and they fear me just by hearing my name! I know you wouldn't be proud; however, I don't give a damn about that!"
Naraku began to laugh an evil cackle and he was proud of his accomplishments. The windows of the study opened wildly and a gust of wind entered the room. The spirit of a demon male resembling Inutaisho was right in front of him. The only difference between the spirit and Inutaisho was their markings. The spirit had purple marking across his cheeks, his wrists, and his ankles.
"You are one foolish child, Naraku." The spirit said with a deep voice. "I raised you better than this."
Naraku turned around and he was shocked to see his father's spirit standing before him.
"Father, what are you doing here?" Naraku asked in anger. "Shouldn't you be with your dead son and grandson?"
Naraku's father took out his hand and a gust of wind made him sit glued on a chair.
"You will listen to me and you will listen well, insolent brat!" Naraku's father said. "I was devastated when I saw them in the after life and I knew why they were there!"
"Your jealousy of him was always visible and I knew the day that I would mention Inutaisho as the new king you would despise us." Naraku's father said. "That didn't give you the right to kill him or his son!"
"You must be blind you old fool!" Naraku yelled in anger. "Inuyasha killed his own father and he committed suicide after he realized what he had done!"
"You and I both know that is not true!" Naraku's father yelled in fury. "You were the one that was controlling him and made him kill his father! You even made the general of your army finish Inuyasha! You're a coward making others do your dirty work! You're a disgrace to his family and I have never acknowledged you as my son! I disowned you the day you attempted on my life the first time!"
"I really don't give a damn you old fool!" Naraku yelled. "Your approval was never needed or asked for!"
"Naraku, I will help the gods as much as necessary to see you fall!" Naraku's father said. "People of Shikon didn't deserve what you have put them through! You would've made a great king if your heart was as pure as Inutaisho's heart. Your demise will come sooner than you think."
A light began to shine bright as Naraku covered his eyes. Once he uncovered his eyes, he saw that his father's spirit was gone.
"I have to go easy on the sake next time." Naraku said holding his head. Naraku walked out of his study and he went to walk around the castle. Lady Kanade peeped in at the edge of the window and she was very surprised at Naraku's worst fear.
Outside the castle grounds, the warriors were waking up from their nap and the sun was almost in position for them to attack. Lady Kanade arrived to where they were so Kenshin and Inuyasha went to her.
"Everything is calm at the castle so you can attack when you like." Lady Kanade said.
"Thank you." Kenshin said.
"Can I ask you something, Lady Kanade?" Inuyasha asked.
"Sure you can." Lady Kanade answered.
"What was Naraku's greatest fear?" Inuyasha asked.
"Not having his deceased father's approval, his praise, and his support." Lady Kanade answered.
"How did you know?" Inuyasha asked.
"I didn't know." Lady Kanade answered. "All I did was place a spell and once the person that I've placed the spell upon sees the gust of wind, it will transform into the spirit you have feared the most. The spirit will reveal your fear without telling you. That's all my powers do. This spell mostly works with your conscious."
"So Naraku created this on his own?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yes he did." Lady Kanade answered. Ichiro went up to the trio and they turned to him.
"It's time to head out." Ichiro said. Everyone got into position and Kenshin was in front of the army. The army was prepared to battle and Inuyasha was placing his helmet over his head.
"Onward men!" Kenshin commanded. Kenshin started walking and his army followed him.
In Kagome's room at the castle, her parents and herself were finished eating breakfast. Kagome and Sango ate most of it.
"Mother… father we must prepare for battle." Kagome said.
"When Kagome?" Sango asked.
"Now, the troops are headed this way." Kagome answered. There was a knock on Kagome's door so Miroku opened the door.
"Milady come in." Miroku said. Izayoi went in with Jiro and she sat down next to Kagome.
"Go get ready." Kagome said. "I'll be here with Mother Izayoi."
"Okay but Sango cannot fight." Miroku said. "You must stay here."
Kagome kissed her middle finger and her index finger together and she placed on Sango's forehead. She closed her eyes and she said a short silent prayer.
"She's ready to fight." Kagome said. "Please do not go rough on them. They're not our enemy."
Sango and Miroku went out the bedroom without questions so Kagome, Izayoi, and Jiro stayed behind. Kagome got up and she took a quick shower. She got dressed in her priestess clothing and got her bow and quiver full of arrows from the closet.
"We must not be unarmed just in case Naraku has a plan for us." Kagome said.
"We will be fine Kagome." Izayoi said. "They are our saviors."
