Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha, the show would be called Sesshomaru. From here on out, the plot will be 85 percent mine. Ill let you guys know when I bring my entire plot back ok?
Here are my fan-tab-u-lous reviewers!
Night's Awakening- Thanks, yay no one is mad!
black and white Kirara- Lol, I felt kind of perverted adding that Inuyasha part in there lol. Lol now I feel dirty...
Taeniaea- Thanks, glad ya like it!
Strawberry-Ringo- Hell yea I did and that's awesome! Lol I thought that Se-chan (Sesshomaru) laughing would be weird but funny, I try to put some humor in my fic.
Sesshylovr- You've been reading all this time...? Yay! Lol I sound 5...
Half-Demon-Cali- Maybe it has, lol, it took me a while to realize that his fluff was his tail. Ah how I want to pet it so much. Damn me for making Kagome live my dream...I should kill her...Nah...That'd be mean. Btw, I'd do the same thing your doing. No way in hell I'm washing any of my brother's boxers. Thumbs up to you!
RomanceRighter- Lol, I loved that part SO much! And I just wrote it today when I was re-editing it. Yeah, when I first read fics I always said yes to SesshomaruKagura and no way in hell to SesshomaruKagome. But I love SesshomaruKagome right now and I may even write a fic about it. I have so many one shots in mind.
BoredGirl17- I really did? I had no idea that's what you expected...this story is a lot longe than I thought. I expected it to be 20 chapters but it might be 30-40. Ugh, I never thought I'd write so much...
kadee- Well here it is!
Enjiru- Aww, I thought you guys liked the long chapters but ok, I'll try. Btw, awesome story
Shin Wal-New Moon-- OMG hell yes he would!! Too bad reality is to cruel to make such things happen...especially in real life...
sesshi's-gurl- Lol, yup, you're right. SessXKagu will be the couple. Hope it doesn't offend you. I like SessKag but this story is InuKag because they were the first couple I liked and I still do.
Blasian- Thanks but um, you may be disappointed because I'm kind of going to follow the manga 85 percent and ever since I started this story I wanted Kagura's last scene in there so...Kagura will face some...challenges.
Inuyasha05- Thanks!
FeudalPriestess18- lol wow, thanks so much but is Kagome OOC? It''s kinda hard keeping people in character.
kagome1312- Thanks but a little tip, with what I have in planned, you readers have to make a choice between Kohaku and Kagura. Being evil rox!
Nightshroud- Lol, glad you liked it. I like SessKagu too but I also like SessKago.
DepressedxSoulxWaiting- Thanks, she's a bit better.
Bloomer123- Thanks, sorry for the wait.
Mrs-N-Uzumaki- It's realy hard to keep people in character. In the manga/anime, Sesshomaru never went through things like these so you have to predict how they will act. I try to keep them in character as much as possible. Btw, love ur name. If only it was Mrs-I-Uchiha.
Sayakagome929- Hey, its ok, as long as you still review. I'm kind of scared I'll mess it up, first story and all. I've never wrote ANYTHING before. I completed lol-ed at the last part of ur review. If you want to write the lemon, feel free. I'd love for a volunteer.
Diamond369- OMG seriously?!?!??! Yay People love my story! I still have to learn how to accept that fact.
KatEyes21- I know!!! I want to pet the tail so bad, it's so fluffy!!! Lol, I love it.
Sorry for the people I may have missed, these are responses to the reviews from chapter 23. Chapter 24 was really an author's note not really a chapter. Sorry if I missed the people out from chapter 24; review this chap and I'll respond.

"Yo." She said as she placed her fan in her kimono. Everyone stared at her, some in fear, slight happiness, and confusion.
"Kagura..." Sesshomaru said as she looked at him. Her eyes widened momentarily as something like happiness flickered in them but she quickly regained her composure. Inuyasha looked at Kagura in disgust, she killed Kagome before and he'd kill her before she could try again. Kagome just stared at Kagura as she felt the urge to break down and cry.
'Naraku...he really is back...'
Now- Ignore the spelling and grammar errors please
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Inuyasha snarled at Kagura
"I assume you guys are aware that Naraku is back now." She said nonchalantly.
"Long before you freakin' came here! Don't tell me you're still against him, you almost friggin' killed Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled, trying to hold himself back from losing his self-control.
"I couldn't let Naraku find out that I'm against him, I had to keep convincing him." Kagura scoffed. She subtly scanned over the area, taking a note of the new members added to the crew.
"It's pathetic, you are still playing this charade with Naraku. How can you be so sure he hasn't found out already?" Sesshomaru said coldly.
"If he did, he wouldn't have brought me back to life. He would have killed me long ago." Kagura replied
"Hn." Was all Sesshomaru said.
"There's nothing more for me to say, I'll be taking my leave now." Kagura said as she removed a feather from her hair as it enlarged.
"Now you won't!" Inuyasha yelled, charging after her. Sesshomaru held his hand out against Inuyasha, preventing him from going any farther. "What the hell are you doing?"
"Let her go." Sesshomaru ordered. Kagura smirked and flew off into sky.
"Why did you let her go? Are you some kind of idiot?" Inuyasha barked at his brother. Sesshomaru sent him a death glare and before he knew it, Inuyasha was pinned to a tree, being held by his throat.
"She is the only lead we have to Naraku, as long as she is against him, we can find him before he finds us." Sesshomaru said.
"I don't give a damn! She's not gonna get away with what she did to Kagome!" Inuyasha said, trying his best to pry his brother's hand off his throat. He wasn't applying enough pressure to choke him, just to keep him there.
"For once in your pathetic life, think before you act." Sesshomaru warned. "If it wasn't for your foolishness we wouldn't be in this predicament, Naraku would already be dead." He released his hold on Inuyasha as he fell to the ground.
"Who the hell do you think you are to look down at me?!" Inuyasha snarled. Kagome was getting even more worried by the minute.
"May I remind you that you are a hanyou while this Sesshomaru is a full blooded youkai and the Taiyoukai of the West. I am more powerful and the firstborn of your father, thus, making this Sesshomaru your superior." Sesshomaru said. "You are merely a filthy, low hanyou, unworthy of my recognition. If it were not for Kagome, I would have already decapitated you."
"I'd like to see you try!" Inuyasha yelled as he began running towards Sesshomaru, Tetsaiga in hand. He was ready to cut Sesshomaru as he merely looked at him emotionlessly.
"Inuyasha stop!" Kagome yelled, running in front of Sesshomaru and spreading her arms and legs. Inuyasha quickly stopped and looked at her in shock. His sword stopped mere centimeters from her forehead. Yet, she looked at him without fear and just as determined as ever. 'She truly trusts him with her life...' Sesshomaru thought to himself. Inuyasha sheathed his Tetsaiga obediently. 'That's the second time she's done that for him!' Inuyasha thought angrily. "Why do you two fight so much; it's ridiculous!"
"Feh, he started it." Inuyasha scoffed as he crossed his arms.
"Inuyasha,GROW UP!!" Kagome yelled. Everyone stared at Kagome; she had never told Inuyasha that, she was truly mad. (A/N: OOC I know, I didn't get into the manga yet so this is still my plot) "If he started it then at least try to be the bigger person and end it, without using your claws or your sword!" Sesshomaru snarled, 'Is she trying to assume that this Sesshomaru is more childish than that hanyou?'
"Don't you dare start." Kagome threatened darkly. Sesshomaru's snarling grew into a feral growl as he bared his fangs at Kagome. "I said SHUT UP!!" Kagome surprisingly growled back at Sesshomaru. He now knew that she was beyond infuriated, he would deal with her later; his pride would not make her say that to him without teaching her a lesson.
"Naraku is your problem; he is none of my concern. I was only here because Kagome requested it but unfortunately, I do not know how much longer I can keep my promise to Kagome that I would not put you in your place." Sesshomaru said coldly to Inuyasha as he walked off into the forest.
"Keh, about time you left." Inuyasha scoffed. Kagome had a defeated look on her face as she saw Sesshomaru leave. She fell to her knees and looked at the ground in front of her. Inuyasha gave a look to Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Midoriko, signaling for them to leave. Midoriko left for Kagome's sake, surprised that she dealt with all of this for who knows how long.
"I'm sorry Kagome..." Inuyasha said, crouching down to be eye level with her.
"Have you forgotten?" Kagome asked in a whisper as he lifted her head to look at him. Her eyes were glazed with tears she wouldn't allow to fall.
"What?" Inuyasha asked.
"Of all days, why did you choose today to make him mad? Today is the night of the newl moon, he would have helped." Kagome said. (A/N: I need the new moon to come in order for the manga to enter-this is still my plot right now, this isn't in the manga.)
"I don't need his help; I can take care of myself." Inuyasha scoffed.
"For once, swallow your pride Inuyasha. You know you can't do much in that form. I don't even think Sesshomaru would care if he saw you as a human; he couldn't possibly despise you any less. Don't you trust me enough just to let down your pride in front of me?" Kagome asked.
"It's not that easy Kagome!" Inuyasha snapped.
"Why not?" Kagome snapped back.
"Because you look like her!" Inuyasha yelled as her eyes widened. "She betrayed me when I opened up to her...you might too..." He whispered. A brief moment of silence followed after he caught the words he said. His eyes widened as he looked at Kagome, she was staring at him in shock and he saw her unshed tears.
"Will I always be in Kikyo's shadow, Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered.
"Kagome, I didn't-"
"Iie (no)..." Kagome cut him off, "I don't want to hear it. If you expect me to be so much like Kikyo then fine, don't trust me." Kagome stood up and walked away from him. 'I won'tcry in front of him, I did too many times already, he won't bring me down anymore.' She thought to herself. Inuyasha sat there, watching as she left. Should he chase after her? Could he swallow his pride and get her back? He knew she was in no way like Kikyo, she had warmth, any fool could see that. Inuyasha angrily slammed his fist into the ground, angry that he was being such an idiot.

Kagura was flying on her feather until she stopped and landed on the grass below her. She walked a few feet before standing still. A barrier opened up for her, exposing the lush green landscape as a mere facade. Kagura smirked and entered. As usual, Naraku's castle was dark and gloomy. Finding her way around the castle easily, she entered Naraku's room, dressed in his new armor with the spikes and eyes around it with his back to her.
"What news do you have for me Kagura?" Naraku asked in his creepy voice, turning his head halfway to look at her from the corner of his eye.
"It seems that Inuyasha and his group already knew of your presence. However there seems to be new additions to their group..." Kagura trailed off. Naraku glared at her, telling her to stop her games and continue. "Lord Sesshomaru and an unknown priestess seem to be with them." Naraku's face twisted into a scowl.
"Lord Sesshomaru? Kuso (Damn)..." He cursed "What of the sacred jewel?"
"That I do not know, I did not see it with them, however the priestess seemed to have strong holy powers radiating off of her..." Kagura told.
"Interesting..." Naraku said as he stood. "Kagura...I have an important job for you to do..." 'An important job?' Kagura echoed Naraku's words in her mind. (OFFICIAL START OF MANGA) She began to follow Naraku as he led her somewhere in the caste. They began walking down the stairs to the dungeon in his castle.
"Naraku...what is this 'important job'...?" Kagura asked
"Kagura..." Naraku started as he turned his head sideways to look at her,"Lately you've been poking around too much. What are you looking for?" Naraku asked with a smirk. Kagura's eyes narrowed. 'Has he noticed..?! That I've been searching for his heart?' Kagura thought. Naraku and Kagura continued walking down the long stairs as Naraku returned his gaze to what was in front of him.
"You want to find things out because you don't know anything...which is why, Kagura...once in a while I will make you do some important work." Naraku said. They had finally reached the room in the dungeon of Naraku's castle. There was a chamber with bars, looking like a prison. There were statues on the sides of the chamber. 'That's...the Rakan statues that were at Goryoumaru's temple!' Kagura thought to herself. Kagura walked up to the chamber to look inside. She gasped as she saw Goryoumaru lying inside. 'Goryoumaru?! I'm sure his head had been cut off...' Kagura thought to herself as the image played in her mind of Hakudoshi decapitating Goryoumaru. (A/N: If you watched all of Inuyasha, you should know this because I remember that near the last episodes, Goryoumaru appeared.)
"Kagura...you will guard this prison, even if it cost you your life." Naraku warned. Kagura looked at Naraku as she remained silent. She and Naraku turned to peer inside the chamber.
"What is the meaning of this Naraku? That Goryoumaru...who on earth is he?!" Kagura asked.
"Kagura...you just have to shut up and watch him." Naraku said. Goryoumaru's eyes opened as he glared at Naraku. His deformed right shoulder opened, shooting a large beam of light at Naraku. Kagura's eyes widened as it made contact with Naraku's stomach, dislocating his torso and only leaving his shoulders and up as the remains of his upper body. Naraku seemed unfazed as he smirked. "Kukukuku (A/N: I HATE that...) I don't die..." Naraku chuckled as he began regenerating as Goryoumaru glared at him. 'Goryoumaru...is Naraku's enemy then...?' Kagura thought to herself.
"Kagura, you be careful too. Don't ever let him get away..." Naraku said as he began to leave.
"...And this...will be your final job..."
(END MANGA)

The gang was traveling with the exception of Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. In her rage, Kagome left him but a pang of guilt was always tugging at her side.
"Kagome are you sure we should just leave him?" Sango asked.
"He says he can protect himself." Kagome said coldly.
"But you know that is just Inuyasha being himself." Miroku told her
"We already left, it's done." Kagome said.
"Maybe we can go back, Sango is eight months pregnant, she shouldn't be traveling so maybe she can stay with Inuyasha." Miroku pleaded.
"You know that Inuyasha is stronger than any of us and he has protected us countless times, it's our job to protect him during the new moon." Sango said.
"The hanyou should have swallowed his pride then." Midoriko scoffed
"Inuyasha is just being a baka like always Kagome. Onegai (please) forgive him?" Shippo pleaded, he cared somewhat for Inuyasha's safety. Kagome looked down at the ground while continuing to walk, thinking over her actions. 'Inuyashais always like that...should I have just left him there?' Kagome thought.

(START MANGA)-idk about Kagura sitting in the dungeon but w/e)
Kagura sat in the dungeon as she felt the presence of weaker youkais. They passed through the bars of Goryuomaru's chamber as he killed them using the unknown light in his deformed arm. As the dead flesh of the youkais fell to the floor of the chamber, strings of light emerged from the gourd thingy (A/N: I really don't know what it is. Can anyone tell me?) in Goryoumaru's shoulder and began to lift the pieces of dead youkai flesh into the gourd. Kagura watched silently. 'He's taking in the damn youkai...' Kagura thought to herself.
"Hey Goryoumaru, just what the hell are you?" Kagura asked. "Why did Naraku lock you up?" 'And also release the youkai he hunted into the prison, and Goryoumaru takes in those youkai, then it repeats again...' Kagura finished the rest of her question in her head.
"If you want to know...then release Goryoumaru from the prison, Kagura..." A familiar voice said. Kagura turned around the owner of the voice. 'Hakudoshi...' A small child with pale lavender colored hair with pale lavender eyes appeared into the dungeon. (A/N: You guys know who he is right? I don't have to explain, if you don't, PM me and I'll send you a pic.)
"Let Goryoumaru out from the prison?" Kagura repeated.
"You want to know...just who Goryoumaru is, don't you Kagura...?" Hakudoshi asked.
"Naraku said not to let him out." Kagura stated. 'That brat Hakudoshi...what the hell is he plotting?' Kagura asked herself.
"Heh, so when it comes down to it, she's afraid to cross Naraku huh...?" Hakudoshi mocked, "I'll tell you one thing. Even if you follow Naraku's orders...and protect Goryoumaru, it won't benefit you." Hakudoshi turned to leave. "Think carefully...about what I just said." Hakudoshi walked up the stairs, leaving the dungeon.
"Hmph." Kagura scoffed. 'That brat Hakudoshi...it's like he was telling me to betray Naraku the whole time.' Kagura thought. 'Why did Naraku lock up Goryoumaru...?' She turned back to look at Goryoumaru in the chamber. 'Does it benefit Naraku somehow?' Kagura's eyes widened as Hakudoshi's words replayed in her mind. 'Even if you follow Naraku's order's and protect Goryoumaru, it don't benefit you.I'm...protecting Goryoumaru?!' Kagura thought back to the time when she saw Hakudoshi decapitate Goryoumaru and Kanna escape with the baby in her arms. 'At that time...at the same place...Naraku's heart...the baby was there!'
"Kagura..." Goryoumaru called. Kagura was knocked from her stupor and looked to him. "Choose...Will you die serving under Naraku of your own will or... will you break free of this prison with me and live a longer life?" He asked. 'Damn him...' Kagura thought to herself.
"What do you want me to do?" Kagura asked.
"The rakan statues...Naraku left them to seal him in..." Goryoumaru said.
"Break them huh?" Kagura asked as she took out her fan and made a gust of wind break the statues apart. A light began to shine from Goryoumaru as his shoulder opened up, beams of light that seemed like tentacles emerging from them. Kagura gasped as Goryoumaru began to undergo a change. (END OF MANGA)

Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Midoriko, Kirara, and Shippo were relaxing in a hut in the outskirts of a village they had come by. The village has been attacked by bandits frequently so the group decided to stay there to help them. It was night and Kagome was worried about Inuyasha. (START OF MANGA-Only change is that there is a pregnant Sango, Midoriko, and no Inuyasha)
"Wake up everyone! Bandits have come!" The village men yelled.
"Heheheh." The bandits chuckled. One of the bandits who had a gourd shot a blast of light towards the unfortunate villagers, killing a few of them in the process.
"Can you hear that?" Sango asked. Sango, Miroku, Kagome, and Midoriko stood up and exited the hut to look outside. They saw a blinding light in front of them but it seemed to be yards away.
"It's from the village!" Miroku said.
"The bandits have attacked it, haven't they?" Sango more like stated.
"Sango, you stay here with Kagome and Shippo." Miroku instructed. He boarded a transformed Kirara with Midoriko.
"Hey wait!" Sango called.
"Us two is enough. You cannot fight Sango, we won't allow it." Midoriko said. Sango reluctantly returned to the hut with Kagome. 'Why didn't they bring me...?' Kagome pouted.
"Hehehe, this is such fun. " One of the bandits on a horse chuckled as he approached the frightened villagers that were huddled in a corner. (A/N: You guys have NO idea how hard it is to do this without having Sango in it as originally in the manga.) Suddenly he was knocked off the horse when a staff harshly collided with his head. Kirara landed on the ground as Miroku got off and Midoriko stayed on.
"It'll be ok now." Miroku reassured the villagers.
"Who the hell are you?" One of the bandits asked.
"Hey, erase these guys first." The captain of the bandits ordered. One of the bandits chuckled as he obediently obeyed. He pulled a gourd from his back as he stared at them menacingly.
"That's...Goryoumaru's goryou pot!" Miroku said in a shocked tone.
"You will inform me of everything later?" Midoriko asked. Miroku nodded
(Back with Sango-chan and Kagome-chan)
"Aren't Miroku and Midoriko late?" Sango whined.
"They only just left you know." Kagome reminded. 'Damn I'm so irritated. I can't stand it, just waiting here. Now I know how Inuyasha feels on nights like this.' Sango whined in her head.
"I'm gone." Sango said as she stood up.
"Sango you can't! Just look at you." Kagome said. There was no way Sango could wear her demon slayers outfit, her stomach was way too big to fit into something that tight.
"Onegai...Kagome?" Sango pleaded. Despite her conscience, Kagome relented and gave Sango her wish, leaving her alone with Shippo. After a while, she decided to speak.
"It seems...that it's gotten quieter from the village..." Kagome commented.
"Maybe, Miroku, Sango, and Midoriko have finished off the bandits." Shippo said happily. 'Are they normal bandits though...? We were told they were carrying strange weapons but...' Kagome let her thought trail off in her head. A dark figure walked up to the hut they were in with a smirk on its face. There was a scar across it's right eye and it had a deformed right arm. (A/N: Pretty obvious) The deformed part of his shoulder opened up and stretched, seeming like tentacles, as they charged toward the hut.
"What was that sound?" Shippo asked.
"I don't'-" Kagome was cut off when the tentacles ripped through the hut, heading straight for her. As part of the hut fell, the culprit could be seen.
"That's...Goryoumaru..." Another lurker in the shadows whispered.
"Kagome!" Shippo yelled as the tentacles grabbed Kagome and wrapped around her, trapping her in its hold.
"Kuso..." The lurker cursed as it rushed to free her from Goryoumaru's grasp. 'Hold on Kagome...' It thought to itself.

Sorry if the chapter sucked. I feel like that was barely even a cliffie, I feel like I just cut off in the middle the chapter. LEAVE REVIEWS ON IF I SHOULD STOP OR CONTINUE PLEASE!
I just took the time to read back my most loved chapter, Chapter 19-when Kagome was revealed and I read all 53 of your reviews...but after that...you guys stopped reviewing so much and I think it's because the climax already came, you're thinking "what's the point in reviewing". If that's the way you feel, fine. It just makes me think this story has no worth after that part happened but thank you guys for reviewing. I wanted to quit this story but by re-reading the reviews for chapter 19, I think I'll to continue...
VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO KNOW: Should I stop putting up the things that say 'start of manga' and 'end of manga'? It's going to get confusing in the next chapters but I put them up to let you guys know.
