A/n: Hello. Sorry for the long wait. I had summer camp, then baby-sitting right after, and then my internet was down for a week so we had to get a new provider. And sadly, school is starting on Tuesday. This sucks! Anyway, the story is almost coming to an end. I feel so sad. Well enjoy the story!

Last Time:

" I'm not her keeper so I don't care what the hell happens to her. I have my celestial goddess and that is all that matters to me."

Onigumo smiled and vanished.

" Sesshomuru...?" Inuyasha looked at his brother's face and was terrified at his look. He never saw him this furious at anyone. His eyes were glowing blood red and he was growling. His sword was pulsing the same color as his eyes.

" Sesshomuru. Calm down." Inuyasha said to his brother.

' I will get you back.' He thought in fury as he finally calmed down.

Chapter 26: Preparation

Inuyasha was still hesitant about going near his brother. Hell, everyone was. The aura surrounding him was all but friendly. He was out to kill.

" Don't worry Sesshomuru. We'll get Denise back. You can count on it." Inuyasha said as he patted him. He received a death glare and he instantly backed up.

" I'm going. Call if anything happens. If not, I'll tell you when we are departing." With that, he turned and left them.

" Why is this happening to us?" Miroku whispered. " First Sango and then Denise. Why is he only stealing the girls?"

" Why would he steal us?" Inuyasha scoffed and rolled his eyes at Miroku for implying such a thing.

" Does that mean that Naraku is trying to get me as well?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and shook his head.

" I won't let him take you away from me. Not again."

" But it is most likely that Naraku is after her for the soul purpose that she possess the Shikon no Tama.."

" That won't happen." Inuyasha said defiantly.

Castle in the mountains

Onigumo had just reappeared with Denise when he was summoned by Naraku.

" I wonder what the little prick wants?" He questioned as he caressed the mirror once more before placing it down.

" I'll be back for you soon." He closed the door and began following the little boy dressed in a slayers' suit.

' My don't you seem familiar. He looks like someone I've seen before. Ah screw it. Not like I care.'

" Onigumo." He looked up to see that he was standing in front of his other half.

" What?"

" I take it that you had completed your part of the mission?"

" Yes I did. What? You thought I was gonna fail? That's stupid cause I am you and you don't fail at anything."

" If you are me, you need to actually act like me."

" Then I'll be a clone. You're my other half. That means that I only have half of the personality. Remember that."

" I don't need a lecture from you. I'm well aware of this matter." Onigumo just smirked at him.

" Of course you don't need a lecture; you're Naraku." He just loved getting on his nerves like this. It makes living with him more bearable. But he really should cut the conversation short so he can be near his loving Denise.

" Well then it's time to initiate the last phase of the plan. Are you ready?"

" Always."

" We shall start tomorrow."

" Perfect." Onigumo left the room and went back to his own.

' Time to wake up my celestial goddess.'

Denise POV

W-where am I? Why is it so dark? I tried opening my eyes, but when I do, I still see nothing. I can vaguely remember what happened.

Koibito

That's right. He called me that. Sesshomuru... He called me beloved. Does that mean what I think it does? I won't think about it now. I should find a way out. I try to move my hands, but I can't even tell where they're at. So I just walk.

Don't know how long it has been as I continue to walk. I start to panic but I must keep calm about this. If I don't then it's all over. Hey! I see a light. I try to chase it but it doesn't seem like I'm going anywhere. I can see my hands! I can see the path.

End POV

When Denise opened her eyes the first thing she saw scared her greatly. Kneeling in front of her was the one she feared the most.

" Onigumo..."

" I see you're finally up. I was extremely lonely without you."

" Leave me alone! Get away from me!" Denise yelled as she tried to back away from him.

" You are mine since I claimed your body. You shouldn't run away from me." He walked towards her and grabbed her and embraced her.

" Let me go." She cried as her eyes began to water.

" I know you miss my touch. I haven't held you in a year and I believe that I should reclaim what is mine." Denise froze and her tears started to fall.

" No... please not again! Please don't!" She sobbed. Onigumo just smirked. As he showed her his claws.

" First time was just a game. This time, I really plan on making you mine." He released her from his embrace and she tried to run. He laughed as he tackled her to the ground and straddled her.

" No!"

" You are mine. NO one else can have you." He whispered in her ears and licked her cheek.

" No!" She screamed as loud as she could, hoping someone comes to help her, anyone.

" Sesshomuru... help me!"

" No one can hear you my celestial goddess." She screamed again as he began to rip off her clothes.

Sesshomuru's House

Sesshomuru was in house in his training room. He was beyond pissed. He wanted to see his blood. He wanted to kill him in the most painful way. Denise is his mate not that bastard who dared to defile her body.

" I will get you back." He sent out a melting wave of energy from his sword effectively destroying part of his room.

" I need a stronger sword." He whispered as he studied his current sword: Toijkin.

"Milord!" Sesshomuru sighed as he turned around and stared at his servant Jaken.

" What is it?"

" Preparations are ready for you milord."

" Good."

" Though Sesshomuru-sama, I wonder why you need to go to Mount Hakurei." Jaken gulped as his lord stared at him.

" To save someone."

" Who?"

"..."

" Milord?" Jaken asked nervously. He took one step back as he continued to stare at his lord.

" My mate." Jaken stared at him incredulously while he absorbed this news.

"Just like your father." He whispered but it didn't go un noticed by Sesshomuru.

' Father... That's it!' Sesshomuru quickly sheathed his sword and walk out of the room to his car.

" W-where are you going?" Jaken squealed out.

" Out." With that, he speeded off towards his birth house."

Sango's House

Inuyasha and Kagome was sitting in the livingroom waiting for Miroku who was on the computer searching for the location of Mount Hakurei.

" I'm so tired." Kagome whispered as he clutched onto the front of Inuyasha's shirt as she yawned.

" Then go to sleep. I promise we'll be here when you wake up." He whispered as he kissed her forehead.

" But that's the thing. I can't sleep knowing that my friends are missing and I might be taken too."

" I told you before. He isn't going to get you. I'll make sure off it." An image of his previous vision flashed in his mind and he shuddered.

' What did I do wrong? How did I let her get taken away from me?'

You know that if you were to try to prevent what you saw, it is actually going to cause it to happen.

' I already know that. What do you want anyway?'

Just checking on you. I see that your friends are missing. What happened?

' Naraku happened.'

I see that's a shame. You know, I could probably give you a hint.

' A hint?'

Go back to your roots. There, you shall find the knowledge to defeat your enemy.

' My roots?'

Yup. Have fun, I'll see you soon.

While Inuyasha was having that chat with the spirit, Kagome was watching him. He eyes were glazed over and was slightly glowing.

" Baby? What's wrong?" Kagome asked worriedly. She shook him and he blinked and stared at her.

" Huh? What's wrong Kagome?"

" I should be asking you that! You just zoned out and your eyes were glazed over and glowing! It was just like the last time in the café and before when we were in class. Are you okay?"

' Shit... what can I say?'

" Don't worry. That's part of my demon heritage." He mentally gave himself a pat on the back. She scowled and looked away.

" Kagome? You don't believe me?"

" ... I guess I can't say anything. You are a half demon." Kagome closed her eyes and he wrapped his arms around her.

' My roots...? Time to see if what it said was true.' He let go of Kagome and stood up.

" Come on guys. I know a place where we can find the answers to this shit." Miroku walked in the room and nodded.

" I tried looking up information about Mount Hakurei but it says that it doesn't exist. I even looked at the current map."

" So come on let's go." They all left the house; oblivious to the gleam of two sets of eyes.

Inuyasha's Old House

Sesshomuru stepped out of the car and began walking to the entrance. The once splendor of the house was destroyed thanks to the years of negligence, but that didn't matter to him. He came for one thing only: his father's forbidden treasure.

" I know you are in there." He opened the doors and walked up the stairs to his parents' old room. When he arrived, the place was covered in dust and spider webs. He muttered an incantation and summoned his most hated possession, the Tenseiga. It pulsed at his side and he unsheathed it.

" Lead me to the location of it, Tenseiga." He whispered to the sword. It pulsed once and began to vibrate. He waited a few moments before something happened. The large bed pulsed and then shifted to the left, revealing a trap door.

" Interesting..." He opened the door and walked down the stairs. He walked down for what seems like hours but finally reached the bottom. It was pitch black, but with his eyes he could see fine.

" Where is it?" He asked himself as he followed the path. He thought that he finally had found what he was searching for, to only be disappointed that all that was there was a wall with words inscribed into it.

' Leave it to father to make things more difficult than it should.' He groaned and began reading.

" Well here we are." Inuyasha announced as he parked his car in front of the house.

" Where exactly is here?" Miroku asked.

" My house."

" Correction: This is your mansion. This place is fucking huge!" Kagome exclaimed as she stared wide eyes at the mansion.

" I wonder who else is here?" Miroku asked.

" No one would be here."

" Then why is there a car parked here also?" He questioned Inuyasha. He looked and stared at the car.

" No clue. And since I'm in my human form, I can't smell. Well come on, we are gonna search the house."

" What exactly are we searching for?" Kagome asked as she interlocked her fingers with his.

" I have a vague idea of where to start, so let's go." He lead them in the house and up the stairs to his parents' bedroom.

" Who's room is this, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. He smiled sadly as he looked around.

' It still holds their presence. I miss them so much.'

" My old man's room." He looked around and his eyes caught the trapdoor.

" Shit!" He ran to the door and ran down the steps.

" Wait Inuyasha!" Miroku yelled as he and Kagome followed.

Sesshomuru eyes' twitched in irritation as he read the words over again.

If you are searching for my treasure... You can't have it. Only if you have the keys, can you open the doors to achieve my most dangerous weapon: Sounga. Have fun with the search.

" Always have to make things more difficult than it should be!" He growled as he slammed his fist into a nearby pillar.

" I don't have time for this!" He punched again and again, until he heard something in the back of his mind.

Sesshomuru... where are you? Please help me!

' Denise?' He didn't hear anymore. But the pain and fear was in her voice and it angered him. He punched the pillar and it crumbledas his eyes bled over.

" Sesshomuru?" He turned around to see Inuyasha standing there. And then it clicked. His eyes returned to its' natural color and stared at Inuyasha.

" Get over here." Inuyasha complied and stood next to his brother who faced the wall. He held the Tenseiga in front of him.

" Call forth your Tetseiga." Inuyasha nodded and did what he was told. By the time Miroku and Kagome arrived, the two swords was pulsating and the wall was crumbling. It fell to reveal a statue of a man holding a sword that radiated evil.

" What the hell is that?" Inuyasha asked as he stared at the sword.

" It is father's sword. The sword from hell." Sesshomuru approached the sword and whispered the name of it.

" Sounga."

A/n: Well that's the end of the chapter. I have so much ideas for this story and I can't wait to post the rest. But to sadly state, this story is almost over. I had fun while it lasted though. Well review please!
