Chapter 35

He walked through the school knowing that the moment he could find Kohaku was the moment he would be able to organize something a lot bigger then what she had been able to think of. Not only that but he had a bad feeling that Rin had not seen everything or at least had not seen what she explained to Koga and Ayame for what it truly was. Just as he had found the right building, Sesshomaru pulled out his cell phone and said, "Not now, I'm in the middle of something."

"Yeah, well if you don't hurry up and get back to the office dad is going to eat you for diner, he isn't happy with you." Inuyasha's growl was heard.

"I have something to do and once I'm done I'll go, tell father that it was very important." Sesshomaru growled back.

"What the hell is so important that you blew off that meeting?" Inuyasha asked.

"The life of your cousin." Sesshomaru answered before hanging up.

Just as he had hung up the phone, Sesshomaru walked as Kohaku walked out of class with a frown on his face. Not caring if the boy and another class to get to, Sesshomaru walked up to him, grabbed his arm and began to drag him off toward his car. Once they were in the car, Kohaku turned to Sesshomaru and asked, "What the hell is your problem? Whatever you got going with Rin I have nothing to do with it."

"It has nothing to do with that, I need your help with something." Sesshomaru answered.

"What could I do that would you need me for to help the lord of the west." Kohaku mocked. He knew that there was some history between him and Rin. He liked Rin so if this was just to hurt her he would have to find someone else.

"I need you to come with me." Sesshomaru growled. "This isn't some short of plan to hurt Rin; it's actually to save her."

"What are you talking about?" Kohaku asked in a worried voice.

"I'm talking about saving the girl from herself." Sesshomaru answered before speeding off.

As he sat in silence and waited to arriver where ever it was that Sesshomaru was taking him, Kohaku couldn't help but worry about Rin. If she was hurt he knew that he wouldn't be able to deal with hit. He knew that he would probably go in a rage and kill the demon or hanyou that hurt her. It wasn't until they had parked that Kohaku turned to Sesshomaru to ask, "Who are we going to see that will help us save Rin from herself?"

"We are going to go and have a chat with the Lady of the Higurashi house." Sesshomaru answered as he got out of the car.

"What do you want now demon?" a cold voice was heard.

"I, Lord Sesshomaru, Heir of the west, am here to speak with your lady. I do believe she is expecting me."

"And the boy?" another asked.

"Enough, just let them in, I'll be down in a minute." Kikiyo's enraged voice was heard from the balcony above.

"As you wish Lady Higurashi." The two were heard before they began to lead the two into the castle house.

"Are you sure about this?" Kohaku asked in an unsure voice.

"I'm sure; just make sure you do what I tell you to do and when I tell you to do it." Sesshomaru growled as he walked in.

Once they were in the house, they were seat. While Kohaku continued to look around, Sesshomaru stood up and faced the stairs as he heard Kikiyo's pissed off voice say, "You didn't even call before hand, and you expected me to foresee this just for you. This better be important otherwise I will not hold back." as she was surrounded by water.

"You'll see how important it really is once you have held his boys hand. I also suggest that you keep this from my brother's mate." Sesshomaru growled as he pointed to Kohaku. "If she sees what you see she will only put herself in danger."

"Sesshomaru did you really just bring me just so that you could see what Rin and I have?" a pissed off Kohaku was heard as he stood up to leave.

"That is not the case I assure you young man, it would seem that my cousin h as placed a spell on you." Kikiyo stated as she began to realize that this was important if her cousin was hiding things from them through this boy.

"Do you see what I saw?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Yes but first I would like to know how you were able to see my cousin's spell." Kikiyo replied as she approached Sesshomaru with her hands held out.

"We don't have time for this; see what it is that she is keeping from us." Sesshomaru growled as he took a step back from Kikiyo's open hands.

"Kohaku…would you come here please?" Kikiyo called with a grin as she turned away from the pissed off inu demon and to the boy that was going to help them get some answers.

"Alright, but if it really is a trick I'm going to tell my father about this." Kohaku stated knowing that he could and probably would start a fight between the three houses if he really wanted to. Not that he would because he wouldn't want to upset his sister or Rin for that matter, he just didn't want to be used against Rin.

"Alright, just hold out your hands and close your eyes." Kikiyo instructed.

"Hurry up." Sesshomaru growled.

As soon as Kikiyo took hold of Kohaku's hands the two fell to the floor. While Kikiyo began to see what Kohaku had found out and what her cousin had seen, Kohaku began to remember what Rin had took from him. The memories of finding out that Naraku had found her and that he was using the ones she cared for to keep himself hidden from everyone. However it wasn't until Kikiyo let go of him and turned to the side and threw up that Sesshomaru realized how serious this was. Just as Kohaku was about to say something, he was stopped when he heard Kikiyo's voice say, "She messed up…she messed up and now she is going to pay for it…we got to hurry."

"What did you see?" Sesshomaru growled in worry as his inner demon began to fight for control.

"I saw…I saw how he killed her before leaving the country." Kikiyo whispered as she turned to her maids.

"Did Kagome see any of it?" Kohaku asked in a worried voice.

She allowed herself to be slammed against the wall for she knew that if she even tried to fight back she would have to see those she loved get hurt. He had caught her with John in the gym before her class; she had seen the look of hate and anger in his eyes as he told her to lore him to the back of the building where he would be able to knock him out. Just as they had reached the house, Rin had done what she was told while Naraku tied up John and made sure that he would be unable to move. Just as he allowed her to breath once more she heard him say, "I knew I couldn't trust you, you're just like her…a lying bitch like the rest of them."

"I…I didn't know he was here…I swear I didn't know he was coming." Rin coughed as she tried to get her breathing to steady.

"Do you really think I'm going to believe anything you say now you bitch!" Naraku roared as he slapped her across her face while making sure that his claws were out.

"Leave her alone! She's telling the truth!" John was heard as he began to struggle through the ropes that were holding him down.

"Shut up!" Naraku roared as he turned to the police officer from America only to claw him across the chest.

"John! Please just stop it…stop it!" Rin cried out as she could feel her miko energy building up so that she could heal him.

"Go ahead and heal him, it will only prolong his death." Naraku growled as he turned enraged eyes to Rin. "Heal him physically but you won't be able to purify the poison that is in him."

"Just watch me." Rin hissed as she pushed pass him with her miko aura before walking up to John. As he began to pass out, she smiled sadly at him and said, "I'm sorry that I didn't see you coming, I'm sorry that you got into all of this…but I can help, and I will make sure he doesn't kill you."

"Damn it Rin…just run." John stated as he tried to stay awake.

"I'm tired of running, I'm going to fight." Rin stated as she used her flames to keep Naraku back while completely healing and purifying John's wounds.

"You bitch! I'll kill you!" Naraku roared as he tried to get through her flames.

"I'll be the one killing you, you bastard." Rin hissed as she tried to keep her focus. 'I'm going to have to lower the flames just to finish healing him before I can really fight…if I do that then he'll be able to attack…here goes nothing.'

"You really think you can, you stupid child, I'll take you one more time before I kill you with my bare hands." Naraku growled as he charged at her the moment her flames had weakened.

Just as he was about to reach her, Rin moved out of the way while placing a barrier around her friend. Once she was safely out of the way, she turned around to face him only to find that he was out of sight. As she kept her guard up, Rin tried to think of a way to get to her weapons without him catching her. Just as she was about to make her way toward her friend, Rin was clawed from behind before she was thrown across the room. As her wounds slowly began to heal, she heard Naraku's cold voice say, "I will make you pay for what you did to me you little bitch."

"Please, you can't really be telling me that you really did fall for me. What a joke." Rin hissed as her eyes changed to show those of the dragon of ice that lay within her.

"So I was right, it looks like I did choose the right Higurashi after all." Naraku growled as he showed his true self.

"You choose the wrong one; this little girl will kill you." Rin hissed as she blasted him back before flipping over him to get her weapons.

"Oh, and just how do you think you can do that?" Naraku growled as he tried to grab her only to pull back once her flames returned at full force.

"Wrong move baby." Naraku growled as he moved to attack John only to be thrown back by the a wall of ice.

With a grin on her face, Rin pulled her katana out of its sheath and said, "Sorry baby, but it's not that easy." in a mocking tone.

"So, you really do have two elements, this is going to be fun." Naraku growled as he charged at her with his own sword made out of miasma.

"It sure it." Rin hissed.

She slammed herself against the door for the hundredth time knowing that she would still be thrown back. She had to get to her, she had to go and help her cousin no matter what but she was being caged inside like a trapped bird. While the servants had tried to stop her, some of the maids quickly got a hold of Inuyasha and Kikiyo to try to stop her before she hurt herself or her un born children. 'Damn it Rin…let me help!' Kagome thought angrily as she released her dragon and charged at the door only to be pulled back by her very own dragon as she heard her mates upset voice say, "Stop her."

"Damn it let me go! I have to help her!" Kagome stated as she began to cry.

"She doesn't want your help." Kikiyo's cold voice was heard as he and Sesshomaru came in through the front door.

"I don't care so either let me out or I'll break through!" Kagome yelled as tears began to ran down the side of her face.

"Kagome." Inuyasha called.

"No! No! Don't you dare tell me that to! Don't!" Kagome cried out in fear as she fell to the floor in tears.

"I'll go and help Rin in your place so do not worry." Sesshomaru spoke up as he turned to leave.

Before Kagome could even keep him from leaving to do something that she wanted to do, Kagome closed her eyes as she cried out in heartbroken sobs as she heard Rin's sad voice say, 'I'm not letting you die, I'm not letting you do this…for your sake I will try to do this on my own. I will kill Naraku if not I will die and take him with me. I'll see you again soon.'

Realizing that this was their only chance to go without being stopped, Sesshomaru and Kikiyo ran out of the house knowing that Inuyasha would be able to take care of Kagome as she was. Just as they had reached the car, Sesshomaru let out a low growl as Kikiyo pulled out her sword. Before either one of them could say, the demon with a feather in her hair took in a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry if this looks wrong but really all I want to do is help."

"Kagura…what are you doing here?" Sesshomaru growled low in his throat.
