Setsuko got up and left "I will not fail you Sachi. I will make sure you and I will have a family… please watch over us in heaven." As he walked away he looked at the garden for what felt like the last time as he smiled "All these horrible memories of the pass will soon be gone. You'll see…" He got up and walked down a few hallways before seeing his guard Haruzaki "Please let the generals and soldiers know we are preparing to leave now. I want everyone ready in the next five minutes understand? And also tie up any lose ends I leave behind."

"Yes, My lord."

With that he walked to the courtyard and out to the entrance of the gate where he didn't wait too long for his people. He smirked seeing all the men who he has trained to be as cruel and heartless as himself stand in perfect rows with swords on their waists and armor covering them ready to serve and ready to die.

They saw Setsuko take his first step and they all started to march out of the palace. Inuyasha woke to the noise and looked down at his mate before getting out of the bed hoping not to wake her. His son and daughter were in the next room over and were no doubt sleeping soundly. He rose and walked to the window he was shirtless and only had on the briefs that his mate instated he wears under his pants. Him and her had a nice time together last night, he walked over window and stared as he saw the troops leave. It pissed him off that he wasn't invited to come along for the sake of saving his daughter.

But Setsuko insisted on doing it on his own to prove himself…

'Heh no one will ever be good enough.' He stood there and watched them all leave before he himself returned to bed and he did just that before feeling something on his shoulder. He turned and saw his mate with a understanding gaze she always seemed to have in her eyes and a smile on her face "It'll be fine he'll bring her back to us."

Setsuko before long was walking through the huge forest before a mountain from where they would attack. He had to meet up with Ungai to get the vial and his men to help him, they each would have vials of the vapor so it would spread like while fire in no time and soon they would trap every demon. They waited as they made a small camp to rest waiting for the old monk and his men. They waited for nearly an hour before seeing the old monk walk out of the forest with a stern look on his face as always.

Sesshomaru was sleeping in his room with is mate in his arms, his nose in the crook of her neck and her body curled to his. Rin smiled happily in her sleep as Sesshomaru kissed her neck and listened to the sweet beat of her heart and his as it matched the same pace.

The beautiful moon's graceful light filled the room, all was peaceful. Sesshomaru even in his sleep could smell the scent of the child growing in his mate it was a mix of their scents. He was enchanted by the sweet and delicate scent that filled the room, he loved these moments. Just the two of them only them in their little world that would soon be filled with another.

A sound made Rin move in his grasp making him wake instantly when he felt his mate stiffen the sound was like cries or yelling. She looked up at him as he let go of her and rose to his feet he was in his night yukata it was pure white silk, her's matched his. He could take her breath away in anything he wore, especially if he wore nothing. The thought made her smile but now was not a careless moment now there was a noise that she was sure wasn't good, she looked over to see him on the edge of the bed and stood on his feet walking to the door. He turned to his mate who was lying in bed in fresh purple silk sheets.

He looked at her as his words were soft and held much of a command "Stay here I will check it out." He walked over to the door seeing his mate nod telling him she will stay put, he opened the door and shut it quickly. Sesshomaru saw servants running past him down stairs with water in bucket and weapons in hands, he followed them down stairs and saw many servants running to put out a fire in the corner and the smoke seems to have something else in it.

The scent didn't smell like normal smoke it seemed to be laced with another form of vapor or gas something that changed the scent. He saw his servants some were caught in the fire, and some ran outside he looked around and saw Jaken running barking orders "Jaken!"

The toad turned around and looked at him before bowing "My Lord!" Sesshomaru looked at him sternly and raised his voice looking at him "What is going on here." The toad shivered and coughed "My lord a fire broke out we are being attacked, something has happened I sent out the army and all of the soldiers seemed to just have disappeared it is as if they turned to air or dust."

Sesshomaru felt a weird feeling as if he needed to leave or at least get Rin out of here "I will deal with this myself, just as soon as I see Rin to a safe place." Jaken nodded and they ran up two flights of stairs down two hallways and into their bedroom where he saw Rin.

She laid on the bed curled up blocking her head as something had crashed through the window a vile that landed on the bed beside her. Sesshomaru ran to her and picked her up in his arms as another thing was thrown through the window. Rin screamed when she saw five arrows that were lit with fire fly through the window and into the room, hitting the walls the bed and the floor.

Sesshomaru held her tight in his arms as he ran out of the room with Jaken on his heels he looked in the hall to see the stair case had a smoky fog slowly flow from the hall. Sesshomaru knew the only exits in the palace were ones on the floor levels not on the higher floors. He looked at the hall to see a vapor that was in the smoke become more active and decided to run the other way he would go up if he had to, but if the palace is under attack they would be a higher target being easily spotted.

He knew he had to get to the ground but how he would figure something out he just needed time. He turned around and saw Jaken having trouble keep up, he waited for the toad to catch up "Jaken don't fall behind."

He nodded as his master sped away to the east of the hall and stopped when a breaking sound stopped him he saw two vials smash threw the window and break on the ground the looked at the vapor and took a few steps back he was trapped in the hall. Jasken's eyes were close when he ran past his lord screaming "My lord I can't see I can't see! Wait wait for me wai-" He ran straight into the vapor and started to shake before falling on his hands and knees "My Lord where ever you are run!" The toad fell his limbs giving way as his body touched the ground it turned to dust and mixed with the air, Rin's eyes widened with tears as she screamed "JAKEN!" Sesshomaru felt fear rush through him the vapor did that to his ward and he couldn't hear any screams from the people on the ground level it was quiet everywhere, all but Rin…

This vapor… whatever it was, was killing all demons and people of his palace. He looked down at Rin and hugged her close as she cried "Rin, be silent for me." She nodded being mute as she clung to his night yukata burying her face into it as tears fell quickly. He ran into their room and held her head against his body "Rin, trust me…" She went stiff as she felt him run; she couldn't help but wonder where too. He threw his body into the window breaking out of his own palace.

Arrows filled the sky as he balanced Rin safely in one had using the other to use his acidic whip to slice through the oncoming arrows some lit with arrows others tipped with poison of the vapor but in liquid form they smelt the same.

He suddenly saw a white floating snake like creature with red eyes with blue irises stop all on coming arrows and surround Rin and him, the demon did circles around them and formed some sort of barrier and then…

Back at the northern palace Haruzaki walked with two servants behind him "You are ready?" They both nodded and he did as well "Good." He took his finger and pointed at the palace "Burn it to the ground!" The two servants with hair the color of red the eyes of orange and the tanned skin they looked like the sun or fire itself. The smirked they were fire demons and were hired to live in the north here far from their southern homes but the pay was more than well.

Haruzaki watched as the demons held their swords pointed at the palace as they ran and jumped into the air, they sliced their swords throw the air with such power. Flames emitted from the white hot blades it came forth and it the side of the palace, with such force. One went the the ground and looked at Haruzaki "I would suggest moving sir."

"I will be ending here as well."

The demon nodded and stabbed his sword in the ground making the earth break up and lava rush to the surface. Inuyasha jumped out of his bed feeling the hit against the place, he ran to the window and saw a most fearsome sight the lava surrounded everything and fire was on the sides of the palace just inches from the window.

"Kagome get the pups now!" She jumped out of bed and rushed to the door, she tried opening it but screamed and looked at her hand that was red with blistering flesh on it. Inuyasha looked at his mate on the ground and grabbed her hand that she was clutching to her body with tears freely flowing "Inuyasha… It hurts."

"Damn that bastard!"

They heard screaming making them both jolt to the wall and yelled "Ami! Akio!" Soon their voices were heard "Mommy! Daddy! Help us!" Akio screamed on the top of his lungs. Ami screamed high for them to hear "Please it's hot in here! The walls are on fire!"

Inuyasha jumped and grabbed his sword and looked at the wall "Stand back!" Suddenly there was a crash and just Inuyasha swung his sword making the wall in his children's room fall only to reveal a female fire demon holding both her son and daughter as the kicked and screamed in her arms.

Inuyasha ran at them only to see her stomp her foot on the floor as lava slowly spread on the floor, Kagome screamed as tears fell "Let them go! They are just kids!" The demoness laughed and flew out the broken window and floated just out of the parent's reach "Why should I? I have orders."

Inuyasha's eyes widened as she screamed "I don't give a fuck about your orders! Let my pups go they have no part of whatever the hell is going on here! And neither do we." She smiled and shook her head as she floated and saw Kagome run behind her mate as the lava was maturing into a bigger mass "Your Rin's father are you not?"

"I am." Inuyasha spat out.

"Well then that's it you have a part in this, I was ordered to tie up loose ends. You and your family is a major one for Setsuko." Kagome felt her blood run from her body hearing this as Inuyasha was in shock and ran to the window and raised his sword "I'm telling you let them go!" She her frown went into a sad smiled and she slowly nodded "I have a child and I understand this is hard…but I will let your children go. So you can be reunited together."

Kagome smiled as a wave of relief hit her "Thank yo-" But her sentence wasn't finished as she watched the demon let go of her pups over a huge pit of lava outside. Her children screamed as Kagome found herself running to the window and jumping out screaming as she held out her hand trying to reach her children. Inuyasha jumped shortly after trying to reach his family that was until as he was falling two white serpents caught his eyes as they swirled around him and his mate.

Miroku and Sango looked in the sky to see both in the west and in the north there was a huge mass of smoke spreading itself over the lands. He looked at his wife and sensed something about this smoke something felt wrong, odd spiritual and yet tainted impure almost evil and pure at the same time.

"Sango we evacuating the village now, please round everyone up."

She looked at him as if he were crazy with a smiled "Miroku it is in the middle of the night most are asleep only we are awake due to you wanted to read the stars…" She said as she rolled her eyes she didn't believe in fortune, destiny and fate and all that stuff. How could she after all that happened like losing her home, her family, her mother and father was that all fate? Or was her brother being a murder and dying simply fate? She couldn't believe that.

Sango hated thinking it was all of those peoples fate to be killed and tricked by Naraku to die in horrible ways was just their destiny. Miroku felt a pain in his hand and fell to his knees, and he looked down at it only to see a black mark appearing his eyes widened "Naraku?"

Sango's eyes went wide and all of a sudden say the mist or vapor float over their village, Kirara rushed outside and turned into her big form growling loudly as the vapor began to settle and reach lower on the ground Sango's eyes followed Kirara as she hissed and growled at the sky.

Miroku looked at Kirara and screamed "Kirara!" Soon she laid low to the ground and then screamed in pain as the vapor slowly lowered more and more she transformed to her smallest form and cried in pain. Sango ran for her companion and held her in her arms close to her body when Kirara screamed making everyone's ears hurt as Sango closed her eyes she felt her arms were light and looked down hearing no more sound to see a dust pile in her arms as the wind whisked it away.

Miroku grabbed his hand as he heard his children run out of the house and the fell to the ground not long after leaving the house and grabbed their stomachs and cried in pain, Sango felt into a crying heap her last part of her old life gone. She turned around to see her children begin to get up as their eyes looked void of all things.

Sango cried and looked at them "Children… come here we need to get people out of the village." Her eldest daughter glared at her and pointed a finger "Who are you? Why are you talking to us like you know us?" Sango felt pain in her heart as she ran to her children something scared her more they screamed and ran from her into the village.

She looked at Miroku who grabbed his head in pain and then his stomach she did the same falling onto the ground until she saw a glimpse of something white wrap around her. Something felt odd as if they were floating, Miroku tried to open his eyes but it wasn't for long before they shut again. Before he could see anything.

Koga had Ayame holding his hand as he cut his way past soldiers in his way, she covered those on their tail as she threw her leaves at them they were sharp as any knife or sword. Ayame saw something and torn her hand from Koga two pull her sword and block an attack, the distracted Koga long enough for a solider to land a sweep of his sword to his chest cutting off his armor.

He grabbed Ayame and jumped out of the way of oncoming spears just in time. When he did he saw something white coming from the air his eyes locked on them and remembered what they were only to hear a scream in his arms, he looked at the source to see a chain wrapped around Ayame's foot and dragged her from his grasp. He charged after her the white soul collector got in his way and dragged him away as another went for Ayame but was sliced but a poison tipped arrow and it dissolved.

"NO!"

He opened his eyes to see nothing but darkness.
