Abbey: It's that time again! Yup, time for an interview! Today I'll be interviewing Kagome-chan!

Kagome: Hey, everyone!

Abbey: So, Kagome, do you consider Battousi a friend?

Kagome: (Blushes) Well…I…I thought you were going to ask me about InuYasha!

Abbey: Yeah, well, everyone knows about that. You're engaged to him, and so on. Oh and, you're sure to like this chapter!

Kagome: Why's that?

Abbey: Oh, you'll see. Anyways, answer my question.

Kagome: Well of course he's my friend!

Abbey: Do you consider him a potential "friend with…BENEFITS?"

Kagome: (Major blush) I -why would I? Sure he's attractive and everything…but…

Abbey: Can't come up with a good reason?

Kagome: IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!

Abbey: (smirks) Just as I thought. Anyways, I do not own InuYasha.

Kagome: No wait!

Sesshomaru's Red Eyes

Chapter 21:

Deception of a Priestess

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

3 months later…

Shippou sat by himself on a lone boulder in the garden…

OXOXOX Shippou's POV XOXOXO

It seems that no one really has time for me anymore. I know I should be happy for everyone, but I just can't help it. Everyone is busy looking after the babies. Sango and Miroku have their own family now. Sure they still talk to me a lot, but not like they used to. And Kagome seems like she's off in her own world somewhere. Almost like she's dreaming all of the time. InuYasha's being himself, so he likes to either stick close to Kagome or be by himself. Rin plays with me, but still. There's only so much of tea party and flower picking that I can stand. I'm starting to get older but I feel like I'm going nowhere. In fact, a deep secret of mine is…Well, Kagome and InuYasha are in love, Sango and Miroku are in love…I kinda wish that I could feel that too… Who am I kidding? I'm way too little for that!

OXOXOXO End Shippou's POV OXOXOXO

"Shipppoooouuu-chhhhaaannn!" Rin said as she waved a hand in front of the kitsune's face.

Shippou snapped to it, "Oh, sorry, Rin."

"Rin picked these especially for Shippou-chan!" she said joyously, handing him a few daisies.

"Uh, thanks."

"What is it, Shippou-chan? Why so sad? Is Shippou-chan sick?"

"Nope, not sick, just thinking," he answered her.

"Does Shippou-chan want to know Rin's biggest secret?"

He looked at her, "What is it?"

Rin giggled and blushed, "Rin thinks that Shippou-chan is very cute! Will you please give Rin a kiss?" She puckered up her lips.

"A…a kiss?"

"Hai, a kiss, Shippou-chan. Can Rin have one?"

Shippou thought for a moment. This was his big chance to have a girlfriend. He looked down and frowned a bit, "Sorry, Rin…I just can't. I don't like you like that. You're my friend, okay?"

"But-but-" Rin stammered as her eyes filled with tears. "Why doesn't Shippou-chan like Rin!"

"I…I just don't know."

"BAKA!" she yelled, stomping a foot on the ground, before she ran back into the castle, crying. Rin's head made contact with something hard, and she fell down on her butt. She looked up to see none other than the lord of the Western lands. "Sesshomaru-sama!" she cried, latching onto his leg.

"What is it, Rin?" Sesshomaru asked, trying not to show much concern. He had never seen Rin cry like that.

Rin just sniffled into his pants, wetting them with her salty tears. "Rin," Sesshomaru repeated, "Will you tell me what's wrong?"

Rin whimpered slightly, and then said, "Rin will tell Sesshomaru-sama."

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

InuYasha and Kagome were in InuYasha's room, playing a card game.

"Damn it! I always lose these stupid games to you!"

"Temper, InuYasha, you don't want me to use the "S" word, do you?"

"Hmph, I could care less."

"Aw, come on, InuYasha, besides it's just a game, it's not like it really counts or anything."

InuYasha looked down pensively, as though he were torn between saying something that was on his mind or not.

"What is it, InuYasha? If you feel that bad about losing, I can always let you win the next game!" Kagome said with a wink. The hanyou continued to stare down so Kagome put a hand on his shoulder, the worry noticeable in her voice, "InuYasha? You can tell me, what's wrong?"

He looked up suddenly, causing her to gasp. "InuYash-"

He stopped her by putting a clawed finger to her lips, "Something's been bothering me, Kagome."

The miko looked down, "Yeah I figured."

"You mean, you've known that something was wrong for awhile?"

"Well, of course, you usually never fail to get your two cents in, lately, though, you've seemed to not have much to say at all."

"It's just that, it's been awhile since I proposed to you. I was wondering…when do you want me to mark you?"

Kagome went pale, and then three shades of red, "InuYasha, the thing is, I don't really want to be marked until we're married. Why?"

"Just that it's been a long time. I just kind of…wanted to make you mine, so others would know that you belong to me."

"So territorial, InuYasha. No one can get through the barrier, who on earth would try to take me away from you?"

The hanyou growled furiously, "MAYBE BATTOUSI!"

Kagome gasped, "No, InuYasha, it's not like that," she said in a small voice.

"I know he's getting to you somehow, Kagome. All you're ever doing anymore is walking around like you're dreaming all the time!"

"You're wrong, I'm thinking of you!"

"Yeah right! You never acted like that before when it came to me, and you're not about to do it now! It's different, you're all calm and dreamy! I never made you like that!"

"Oh, InuYasha," Kagome said. Her eyes began to fill up with tears.

"Do you want to be with me, Kagome?" InuYasha said, a little more gently.

"Yes, of course I do, you know that I love you, InuYasha. Battousi is just my friend."

"I believe you, Kagome. And…I'm sorry."

"What?" Kagome uttered in surprise. That was all she got the chance to say, because before she knew it, InuYasha's fangs were in her neck. She let out a startled cry. He completely caught her off guard. "InuYash-ah!"

He removed his fangs, "I'm sorry that it hurt you, Kagome. I had to do it. I had to mark you." He lightly kissed the mark, and it began to heal.

"Amazing," the miko said.

"Are you mad at me?" he asked, looking deep in her eyes.

"Mad at you? No," she said with a smile. "I'm not mad. Not at all."

Little red patches appeared on his cheeks, "But…it's not really final until…"

"Until what?"

"…Until…we consecrate it."

"Consecrate it?" she repeated. Then she blushed immensely.

"Is that okay with you?" he asked with a blush.

"It is," she said with a face the exact color of a cherry.

InuYasha smiled, and pulled Kagome into a deep kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too."

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Miroku and Sango heard a knock at their door. The babies were taking their afternoon nap. Sango stood silently bending over their crib, humming softly. Miroku went to the door and opened it.

Sesshomaru nodded in aknowledement, "Monk," he said with narrowed eyes.

"Sesshomaru," Miroku nodded back determinedly.

When Sango heard the name Sesshomaru, she stopped humming and turned her head in his direction, "What is it?"

"You must look after Rin for a moment. She is highly distressed."

"I'd be happy to do it. But what will you be doing?"

"I shall go speak with InuYasha."

"What business do you have with him?" Miroku asked.

"That is no business of yours," the taiyoukai answered back swiftly, "Sango, Rin will fill you in, I'm sure."

"Alright then, I'm coming." She kissed Sakura and Toshiro's foreheads.

"I shall watch them, go talk to Rin, she needs you," Miroku told her.

"Arigatou, Miroku." She gave him a peck on the lips. "I'll be back soon."

"Are you coming?" Sesshomaru asked impatiently.

She shot a death glare at him, "Yes, I'm coming now." Sango walked out, and Sesshomaru smirked at Miroku while the monk glared at him as he closed the door.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

InuYasha and Kagome were sleeping peacefully when Sesshomaru barged in. InuYasha woke up instantly. He growled at his older brother angrily, "Damn it, Sesshomaru!"

Sesshomaru glared at him, and then turned his head in the opposite direction, narrowing his eyes heatedly at the opposite wall.

InuYasha's yells woke up and startled Kagome. She blushed slightly, "Sesshomaru-" she began, quite aware of how bad this would look to the Lord of the Western lands.

The taiyoukai cut her off, "-Make yourselves presentable and then come down to the meating room, I have something to disscuss with the both of you." He slammed the door.

"SON OF A BITCH!" InuYasha swore.

"INUYASHA! Come on, let's see what he wants."

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

"You are presentable I presume?" Sesshomaru said coldly.

The meeting room was a circular room that had a four-tiered pit in the middle that sunk down into the floor. Each tier was padded down with a deep blue fabric, and had many blue with silver trim pillows. Transparent blue and silver drapery hung from the walls elegantly. The drapery circled the pit, making it more private. Right now the sun was shining through the drapery merrily. InuYasha and Kagome, however, were dreading whatever Sesshomaru had to talk to them about. They ploped down upon two large circular pillows and prepared themselves.

Sesshomaru's face was covered in shadow, "When did you last see the kitsune?"

"Oh you mean Shippou!" Kagome exclaimed, "Not since this morning, he went out to play with Rin."

"Are they alright!" InuYasha asked quickly.

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, "The kit is fine, but Rin is worse for the wear."

"Did something attack them!" Kagome said with worry, "Where's Shippou! I want to see him!"

InuYasha stood up, "If you don't give us some answers, pardon our rudness, your lordship, but we have to find Shippou!"

Sesshomaru gave his brother a very dirty look, "Sit down, half-breed. No one is nor was in any physical harm."

"That's a relief," Kagome said.

"Then what the hell is it!"

"Use a proper tongue, InuYasha. Especially when you are in the presence of your mate."

"I don't have to do jack shit! You can't tell me what to do!"

"INUYASHA! What is it, Sesshomaru?"

"You are the kit's guardians, are you not?"

"Yeah, that's us, why? Did Shippou do something?" Kagome asked.

"Rin is unhappy…because of him."

"Oh! I understand, Sesshomaru!" Kagome said.

"Understand what?" InuYasha said as he scratched his head.

"I trust that you shall speak with him."

"Sure thing, Sesshomaru, I'd be happy to. But…where is Rin anyways?" Kagome asked politely.

"She is with Sango."

"Oh," was the miko's response.

InuYasha looked back and forth between the two, "What? What's going on?"

Kagome sighed exasperatedly, "Nothing, InuYasha, I'll take care of it now.

"Fine. If you need me, I'll be eating." InuYasha got up and went started to leave, "Kagome, you coming?"

"Uh-huh. Sesshomaru," she began, "Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Glad you care so much for Rin."

Sesshomaru got up and also began to leave, "It matters not. Perhaps you shall learn next time." With that, he left.

"Why that cocky-"

"It's alright, InuYasha. Go eat, Shippou and I will join you soon."

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Kagome found Shippou on a boulder that he seemed to be sitting on very often lately.

"Hey, Shippou," Kagome began, "What's up? You've been acting really depressed lately." Then she gasped, "We haven't been paying that much attention to you have we?"

The kitsune shook his head, "It's not just that."

"Tell me what's on your mind, Shippou."

"I know it sounds stupid, but, I feel like something's coming and I don't know what. I'm just sort of…waiting for it."

"That's all very fine, Shippou, but you can't just shut yourself out all the time! Everyone is really starting to worry about you!"

"You could tell?"

"Oh, please, it was completely obvious. You haven't moved from that spot since this morning, have you?"

Shippou dipped a hand into the cool pond that was next to the boulder, "Nope."

"I heard about Rin," Kagome said darkly.

"Yeah, I figured."

"Why did you reject her, Shippou?"

"I don't know…I just know one thing, she's not the person I'm supposed to be with."

"Oh, Shippou, it's not like you're going to end up marrying her or anything!"

"I didn't want her to be disappointed later, so I ended it right away."

"One thing's for sure, you sure don't get your wisdom from InuYasha!" Kagome said with a laugh.

"Yeah right, not that dummy," Shippou stated as he rolled his eyes.

"Look, you must be starving, you didn't even have breakfast. Why don't you come with me now, and we'll meet InuYasha and eat. How's that, Shippou?"

"Okay," the kit replied. He slid off the boulder and preceeded to follow Kagome into the castle.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

There was a knock at the door, "Miroku, come meet me in the dining room, Kagome's on her way to watch the children."

"That's fine, Sango," Miroku called without ever opening the door, "I'll be down as soon as Kagome gets here."

"She told me to tell you to go ahead, she just wanted to get something from her bag, and then she'd come. They're sleeping, right?"

"Yes, they're still asleep, but…" he said uneasily.

"I have something very important to talk to you about, please come now?"

Miroku nodded, "Hai, I'm coming."

"I shall meet you down there."

OXOXOXOXO Battousi's POV OXOXOXOXO

That was too simple. He chuckled as he turned back from Sango to his original form. Thank you, Sesshomaru. I have every power that you have ever yearned for. And now…"Kikyou…you must do your part. If this works out according to plan, you will get what you want. You may drag InuYasha to hell, and I may have him out of the way so that I may get…what I want." He pictured Kagome in his mind. She was laughing blissfully. "Foolish…" He walked away down the dark hall, readying himself for phase two of his plan.

OXOXOXOXOX End Battousi's POV XOXOXOXO

Kikyou appeared in the room where the children were. She carefully picked them up, and her soul collectors wrapped around her. They sent her to the edge of the woods. All she had to do in order to escape with the babies was to pass through the barrier. Toshiro and Sakura woke up, and they began to cry. Silently, Kikyou waited…

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Miroku was on his way to the dining room when he heard a voice in his head, "If you want your family to see the light of day again, I suggest you hurry to the woods on the northern end of the castle, houshi."

"No! Sango, Toshiro, Sakura!" Miroku yelled as he ran, in what seemed like slow motion, out of the nearest exit.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Rin cried herself to sleep, and she was lightly snoring, her head in Sango's lap. Sango picked at her hair affectionately.

"Come, Sango, watch the dimise of your precious monk and the kidnapping of your only children. Come, to the woods to the north."

Sango's eyes went wide. "I'm sorry, Rin," she whispered. Then she got up, and ran as fast as she could out of the castle.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

InuYasha, Kagome, and Shippou were just about to stuff their faces when…

"Good evening to all of you."

"Battousi!" Kagome said instantly.

"What! How can you tell!" InuYasha asked angrily.

"Sesshomaru doesn't sound that cocky!" the miko explained.

"If you wish to witness the demise of your dear friends, go to the woods at the northern end of the castle."

"DAMN YOU, BATTOUSI! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE NOW!"

"Temper, temper. Come if you wish to see the taijiya, houshi, and their children alive one last time."

Without another word between them, InuYasha, Kagome and Shippou headed outside.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Sango got outside just in time to see Miroku heading into the forest, "MIROKU!" she called. The monk didn't seem to hear her, but disappeared in the trees. Sango kept running, but no matter how fast she ran, it didn't seem like enough. Kikyou rose up above the trees. Sango saw that she was holding her children, and her heart burned with an unspeakable anger. "So you did this all together, did you?" Sango panted as she ran, "Battousi, Naraku, and Kikyou…I swear…" She stopped talking in order to hold onto her breath. When Sango reached the edge of the trees, a barrier was put up, preventing her from entering the forest, "NOOOO, MIROKU! TOSHIRO! SAKURA! DAMN YOU! DAMN ALL THREE OF YOU! LET ME IN!" she hopelessly threw herself against the barrier, and was thrown back.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Naraku sent about twenty demons to the space in between the barriers. Usually, it was something Miroku would have no problem taking care of with his newly reaquired wind tunnel, but, of course, there were poisonous insects there too. He was fighting quite well so far, he already killed at least a fourth of them. He didn't see Sango or the children yet, which made him very uneasy. All of a sudden, he felt it- "There's something he-AH!"

Battousi removed the sword he used to stab Miroku out of the monk's back. "Worry not, monk, I shall revive you. I just need your blood." Battousi said as Miroku coughed out a mouthful of it.

Miroku fell to his knees. He was covered with his own blood… "Sango…" He said before he fell, dead, to the ground.

"How touching." Battousi took the dark purple sash that Miroku wore and ripped it to bits. The monk's blood stained the grass crimson. Battousi destroyed the remaining demons and took tenseigua out. "I believe that I am able to use your sword, Sesshomaru." He brought the sword down on the messengers from the underworld…

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

"SANGO, STOP IT!" Kagome shouted. Sango was repeatedly throwing herself into the barrier, and getting thrown back, again and again.

"IT'S NOT GOING TO OPEN THE BARRIER!" InuYasha yelled at her, "LET ME TAKE CARE OF IT!"

Sango was thrown to the ground again. "Go ahead, InuYasha," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. She had a terrible feeling that it was too late. Just as the tetsusigia turned red, the barrier disappeared.

"Let's go," InuYasha said. The worry in his voice was obvious.

"MIROKU!" Sango yelled through the trees. The silence was not a good sign. She began to run. Faster and faster, in one contiuous, excruciating beat. Her heart stopped. Dead demons, everywhere. Blood? This blood…it had to be demon blood, it just had to be. Miroku's staff lay on the ground, abandoned by its master. And pieces of his clothing…tattered, ripped, torn… and Miroku…

Miroku was dead.

She realized, it was Miroku's blood that she saw, splattered on the ground. She immediately bent down, and picked up a piece of his clothing. She ran her thumb over it gently before smelling it, taking in the scent of her beloved husband. She would never smell him again. She would never look up to see his kind face, never hear his voice. The voice that made her weak inside. So calm, so loving. She would never feel the warmth of his arms around her again. She would never again get the feeling she would have when he kissed her. Never! Sango kissed the cloth, and held it to her cheek, wishing like nothing else that Miroku would just pop out of the trees and do something. Anything. Hell, she wouldn't even mind if he groped her. But Miroku wasn't coming. He was really gone…forever. And her children were in enemy hands. She could almost hear them, crying out feebly for their mother and father. Their eyes, beautiful violet and honey colored, filled with tears. Surely Kikyou would not care well for her children? A mix between a strangled yell of fury and cry of anguish escaped the mouth of the taijiya. That was it; she could hold her tears no longer. Her pain brought her to the ground, where she layed in Miroku's blood, absolutely shaking with torment.

Kagome held InuYasha back, "Let's leave her alone, InuYasha."

"Will she be alright?"

"I don't know. But I'm sure it's what she wants." Silent tears ran down Kagome's cheeks as InuYasha lead her away. He was having a hard time himself not to cry at least a little. He would do it later, when no one was around. He wouldn't even let Kagome see him cry.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Sango was still lying in the pool of Miroku's blood. It stained her clothes, and tears stained her cheeks as though they would never come out. In all honesty, Sango didn't care. She didn't care about anything anymore. She was numb. Losing Miroku broke her more than being raped ever could. Somehow though, it seemed like he never really left. That thought was just foolishness…

"Sango…"

She rose her head. Now she finally felt another emotion, hatred. "You-you traitor!" She glared at him with an angry look that Sesshomaru had never seen, nor hoped he would ever see again. "BASTERD!" She quickly stood up, and punched him, hard, in the face.

Sesshomaru actually staggered a few steps back. "Sango," he said again, "I swear on our son that I had no part in this. I didn't know of it, and I didn't participate in it. Believe me when I say…I am sorry for your loss."

"You'll be even more sorry, after I kill you!" She didn't care if it sounded so stupid to him, the idea of a human killing such a high rank demon, and she not even armed with a weapon nonetheless. She began pounding her fists on his chest as hard as she could. She hit him in between words, "You-don't-care-in the-slightest-about-me-You-just wanted-me for-yourself-because-of-Toshiro!"

"That's not true."

"How-does-it feel-to get-what-you-want!" She couldn't take anymore, she crumpled, and Sesshomaru grabbed her before she hit the floor. Sango shook in sobs, and Sesshomaru held her close to him.

"Please, Sango, don't cry. You are too strong to cry."

"No I'm not! I'm not!"

Sesshomaru was quiet. And then, though he hated saying it, he felt he had to, "You are not weak, and this is why…Miroku would not fall in love with a weakling-"

Sango gasped, "You said his name. In over a year, you never once used Miroku's name, until now."

"…And neither would I fall in love with a weakling."

Her eyes became wide, "What did you say?"

"…You heard what I said. I love you."

"I-" she stumbled on her words. Why? Why did it have to be her! She didn't deserve any kind of love. She let Miroku die, and Sakura and Toshiro get taken away. All her fault!

"I'm not asking you to say anything. I only thought that you should know. Now," he said, "The servents have everything ready for you. You may clean up. And do not lose faith, Sango. Do not give up. Keep going. Push yourself, for the sake of your children, your husband, your friends, and for myself."

"Arigatou, Sesshomaru," she choked out.

"Allow me to accompany you back."

She nodded, "Yes, you may. And…I'm sorry that I did that before."

"I understand. Do not apoligize."

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

"You did this, did you not, Battousi?"

"Who else could be capable of such a vile act? Now you may do as you wish with the huntress. Just remember the payment, Sesshomaru. Give me my own body, that I may do what I myself wish."

"Sango is unhappy. It is your fault. You will never get the chance to do as you wish. I shall kill you first."

'Fool, he has no intimation as to how powerful I truly am.' Battousi thought. He chuckled softly, "Of course, in order to get something you want, something else has to be taken away."

A low growl escaped Sesshomaru's mouth, "Tell me where he is. Tell me where Toshiro may be found. This is your chance. Tell me, or-"

"It is very unwise to threaten me when I have the information you need, is it not?" Battousi said nonchalantly.

"You must believe that you are quite powerful, Battousi. I one of the most powerful demons in the known world. And you are nothing more than a mind spirit."

"No, I am no longer just that. You are second best, Sesshomaru. You are second, behind me, the man slayer."

"Death shall be yours, Battousi. By my hand alone. I can find out on my own where my son is hidden."

"Since you insist so on being beaten, I shall expect my body in no longer than a month from now."

"I do not have to follow your orders. I am-" Sesshomaru then realized that he was wasting his time. Battousi wasn't listening anymore.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Grrr. InuYasha was supposed to be on Cartoon Network last night. But no, they had to have the movie on when I already have it. Oh well…Oh, but I found out something last night, they put R. Kenshin back on! It's on at 9:30 central for me. Whelp, I supose that's it. Oops, forgot. Please review if you want, thanks! Toodles!

Liebe,

Sesshomaru is Mine

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

InuYasha: Hey! What the hell is all of this bullshit about Kagome being friends with benefits with Battousi?

Abbey: oh, InuYasha. Even YOU weren't that dense in this chapter! You know she kind of likes him, don't you?

InuYasha: SHE DOES NOT!

Abbey: Does.

InuYasha: DOES NOT!

Abbey: BAKA INU, SHE DOES!

InuYasha: (growl) I brought someone to see you.

Abbey: (tilts head to the side) Who's that?

(Sesshomaru steps out into the open)

Abbey: Oh, crap, you can't be serious!

Sesshomaru: It's been a long time. I truly missed strangling you in the last chapter.

Abbey: Yeah, instead, you gave Battousi the honors.

Sesshomaru: Let us go to the enjoyable part. (grabs SIM around throat)

Abbey: Not again.

InuYasha: Maybe you are good for something afterall, Sesshomaru!

Sesshomaru: Pardon?

Abbey: Okay, guys. No fights breaking out when I'm here!…Please! Crap. Toodles, everyone!

Preview of the next chapter:

"INUYASHA, NO!" Kagome yelled, "DON'T LEAVE ME!"

The hanyou was unconscious.

"He cannot hear you," Kikyou told her, "He will never hear you again."

"INUYASHA, WAKE UP! PLEASE WAKE UP NOW!"

"InuYasha, come. Come with me…to the deepest depths of hell."

"NO! INUYASHA!"

An enormous hole formed in the ground, and Kikyou slowly began to sink down into it, taking InuYasha with her.

"INUYASHA…SIT!"

But it had no effect.

"You're waisting your time. Whatever hold you have on InuYasha will not work as of now." Kikyou smiled lightly as she thought, 'Thank you, Naraku, thank you, Battousi.'
