~ In The Western Lands ~

InuYasha had gotten a large group of demons together they all banded together to finally end the evil reign of Naraku the hanyu. They headed North to help Inu no Taisho in rescuing his intended mate and his soon to be Mother. It took a few days for them to arrive at the Northern lands where Inu no Taisho was now it was time to figure out a strategy to find Naraku's exact location. His Father Inu no Taisho had done some searching of the area while waiting for reinforcements.

~ Meanwhile With Naraku ~

It had taken a few days for Sarah to wake up when she did finally wake up she picked up Sesshomaru and looked around confused as to where she was. She noticed the bars on the windows and shook them then tried the cell door only to find it locked. Naraku approached the bars saying, "You won't escape so easily, this time, my dear."

Sarah rolled her eyes replying, "At least your smart enough to learn from your mistakes. Now how do my son, and I get out of here, and why do you want us?" Sarah knew negotiating with this man wasn't the answer but she needed to buy herself and Sesshomaru some time to escape.

Naraku chuckled saying, "Well the easy way would for you to be my mate then I promise your son will be safe. If you don't agree I will just get your mate to kill all the demons now outside which will more than likely kill him in the process."

Sarah glared at Naraku asking, "Can I have a moment alone to talk to Kagura, and Kanna?" She prayed to the Kami's that this demon wasn't overly bright and would allow them to talk alone.

Naraku raised an eyebrow but finally said, "I see no reason not to I'm sure they will tell you it's better to do as I ask then to deny me." With that said Naraku glared at them long and hard before leaving. He wanted Kagura to know what was in store for her if she did anything to convince her to not cooperate with him.

Kagura said, "I'm not sure I can help as no matter whatever you choose he will twist, and pervert it so that you keep on having to do what he wants." She felt real bad for Sarah but didn't want to lie to her either she knew there was no winning with Naraku.

Sarah smiled saying, "I know that's why last time he caught me I took your heart. So would you help me escape in exchange for your heart?" She knew having the one thing Naraku held over Kagura would give her a good bargaining piece should Naraku ever capture her again and if not she hoped eventually Kagura would figure it out.

Kagura looked at her in disbelief Sarah sighed saying, "If you don't believe me ask Kanna. She can show you what happened in her mirror."

Kanna used her mirror only to find what Sarah had said was the truth. Kagura couldn't help but to laugh saying, "The idiot took the fake, and still thinks it's the real thing." Once she had gotten over her laughing fit Kagura added, "I'll help you, and your son escapes from here."

Sarah moves to Kagura, and said, "This isn't my son this is Lord Sesshomaru someone put a spell on him to make him an infant."

Kagura looked in disbelief at the pup, and until she saw the Western lands symbol on his forehead she was convinced she grinned saying, "I have a crush on him I'd help even without the heart."

Sarah nodded, and said, "Let's get going then bring Kanna too I wouldn't want to leave her here at his mercy."

Kagura smiled nodding her head she lead Sarah along with Kanna out of Naraku's castle she took her out the secret back way that only she, and Naraku knew about. Kagura led her carefully out of the maze of traps, and poison that surrounded the castle that Naraku built underground. Kagura turned to her, and said, "I know of a cave nearby that is hidden that Naraku doesn't know about. I often use it to take a break from him."

Sarah looked at it for a moment, and said, "It's a good place to stop a moment but I think it's better if we get as far away from the castle as possible besides I have a male to get back to before he agrees to Naraku's terms thinking he has me. I doubt he will admit to my escape not when he can use it against someone."

Kagura understood how Sarah felt she had the same feelings for Sesshomaru at least the grown up version of him although he was the cutest pup which only made her ache to have her own with him. After resting a few moments Kagura led her out the back of the cave they could see the large group of demons gathered. Kagura grabbed onto Sarah as she walked up to a large bear demon, and asked, "Where is the great dog General Inu no Taisho please?"

The large bear leaned down and sniffed for a moment. Before finally saying, "He's looking for you climb on I will take you to him." The bear knew the moment the General had his mate back it would cut the tension dramatically.

They all climbed onto the back of the large bear Kanna grabbed onto Kagura who held onto the bear's fur. Sarah held on and secured Sesshomaru before saying, "Go".

Once she did the bear took off at top speed moving past many demons all moving out of the bear's way as he worked his way to the front of the large mass of demons. He arrived at where Inu no Taisho, and his son were, letting Kagura, and Kanna of first then Sarah finally climbed down to the ground being careful of Sesshomaru.
