Chapter 25

Back At The Castle

Sesshoumaru's POV

I glare, I am in the worst mode since I woke up this morning to find Kagome gone. I checked all the places where she might be, only to not find her anywhere in the castle.

Momeko just came up to me a few moments ago and informed me that Kagome left with a horse at midnight heading East. I can also feel that Inuyasha is not here, why the hell would Kagome leave without telling me.

"Lord Sesshoumaru."

I break out of my thoughts and look at my good friend.

"What?" I say in a ice cold voice.

"There is something else you should know. Naraku has been spotted just inside of the Western Lands. My guess Sesshoumaru that is where Kagome and Inuyasha are heading." He says.

I use my senses to try and catch either Naraku's scent or aura and sure enough I feel his aura in the East. I also feel Kagome's and Inuyasha's aura's reaching there. I look at Momeko and I see a smirk appearing on his face.

"Momeko, inform my parents, I am going to retrieve Sango and Miroku." I say.

"Yes Sesshoumaru." Momeko replies.

With that we both walk into the castle and make our way through the stairs and corridors up to the Western wing. Momeko goes one direction and I go the other.

Before going to Sango and Miroku's room I walk into my room, I go into the closet. I pick my armour up and tie it to me, I grab Tensiga and Tokijin and tie them to my side.

I leave our room, walk down our hall and up one of the other many halls where Sango and Miroku's room is. I knock on the door and I hear foot steps heading to the door. The door opens to reveal Miroku looking sleepy.

"Hello Sesshoumaru, what do you need? He asks.

"Tell Sango that you both need to get ready. Kagome and Inuyasha have left to go after Naraku and we need to catch up with them." I say in a stern voice.

The monk's eyes go wide." Of course, we will be ready shortly."

"Hn."

I walk away as the monk shuts his door. My parents are not going to be thrilled that I want them to stay behind, but someone needs to stay behind to take care of Rin and Sippo.

I head down to the main hall and out to the courtyard. Along the way I can hear the servants whispering while I pass about Kagome leaving with Inuyasha. I shall deal with the servants once we return, right now I just want to get out of here and get to my mate.

Within 10 minutes Sango, Miroku and the two tail cat come out with their weapons. The two tail transforms and Sango and Miroku climb on. Sango looks at me with a determined look on her face.

"Lead the way Sesshoumaru." She says.

"Hn."

My demonic cloud forms under my feet and I take to the sky followed by the others. I pick up Kagome's scent easily, something bout her scent is different but with the scent fading I can not quit tell.

I can easily pick up Naraku's scent from here, something is telling me that we might not get to Kagome and Inuyasha before Narauku does. We speed up, we all want to get there before something happens.

I never got to tell Kagome but with the matting mark on her and the matting ceremony complete I will be able to feel when she is in pain or in trouble. I do know Inuyasha made a promise to protect her no matter what and Inuyasha may be a lot of things but he doesn't take back a promise.

We are getting closer and closer as the day slowly progresses, we are not taking as long because of our speed. I look out the corner of my eye at them, they look happy together, in love.

With Kagome and Inuyasha

Kagome's POV

I look beside me at Inuyasha, I haven't told him yet but I can feel Sesshoumaru's aura nearing us. I didn't think he would be able to catch up this fast but I seem to forget that this is Sesshoumaru ' the killing perfection' that I am mated to.

All at once I feel Naraku's aura along with the tainted jewel shards he has with him.

"Inuyasha can you smell it." I say sternly.

"Ya, this time that son of a bitch isn't going to get away." He says gruffly, hand on Tessiga's hilt.

Within minutes we enter into a huge field, there in front of us stands Naraku, Kagura, Kanna, Hakudoshi and Kohaku.

"Well isin't this a pleasent surprise." He says.

"Shut the hell up Naraku and prepare to die." Inuyasha yells.

He unsheathes Tessiga, raises it and sends the ' wind scare' straight at them. I grab my bow and a arrow, I aim my arrow straight at Kanna's mirror and fire. My arrow shatters the mirror with ease.

I grab midnights reins and move her to the left as Kohaku throws his weapon towards me. There is no way I can harm poor little Kohaku, it would break Sango's heart if I did.

I summon a small amount of miko powers into my hand, I send it at him, successfully knocking him out cold. Kagura takes to the air while Hakudoshi stays on the ground. 2 of Naraku's 4 fighters have been taken out of this fight with ease, but taking Kagura and Hakudoshi down is a whole other matter.

I use midnight to dodge Hakudoshi's attacks by ground while using my arrows to attack Kagura in the sky. I use some of my energy and make a small barrier around myself and midnight.

Kagura and Hakudoshi send attacks at me but they just hit the barrier. I send a arrow at each of them. All at once a attack is sent at Kagura, I snap my head to the way the attack came and there stands Sesshoumaru. I let my barrier drop as Kirrara lands beside me with Sango and Miroku on her back.

"Hey guys." I say.

"Kagome why did you take off like that with Inuyasha." Sango says.

"I'll explain it all later."

"Ok."

I turn my head, I find a strong attack from Hakudoshi heading straight towards us. Without thinking a barrier comes up around us just before the attack gets to us. As soon as the attack dissipates my barrier goes down and the three of us goes after Hakudoshi. Sesshoumaru goes over to help Inuyasha fight against Naraku while Sango and Miroku continue to fight Hakudoshi.

I back away, watching Kagura, with a arrow ready as she starts to recover from Sesshoumaru's attack, she glares at me.

"Naraku is not going to let any of you walk away." Kagura says.

"We will see about that, at the time there are more of us then you." I say, keeping my voice in line.

"Hn."

She opens her fan, she sends a attack at me which I easily black with a barrier, I gather a small amount of my miko powers into my hands, once my barrier goes down I send the ball straight at her. It sends her the whole way across the clearing and straight into the tree.

I smirk, I look down at midnight and see just how calm she is and think about how calm she's been through out this whole battle. It makes me suspicious of what kind of a horse she really is. I look over at Kagura and find her out cold against the tree.

I get midnight to ride over to where Kohaku is, I dismount her and kneel down beside him. I know from previous in counters that Kohauku has all of his memory's back about the life he had before Naraku, he will not tell anyone but Sango.,

I really wish that there way a way for Kohaku to live without the jewel shard in his back, for as long as he has the jewel shard in him.

I pick him up and throw him over midnights saddle and mount her. If I keep Kohaku with me Naraku can not get him and use him.
