Chapter36
As she pulled away from the car, Kagura took in a deep breath and tried to stay calm. She knew that if she didn't use the right words to explain what she was doing here and how she knew how to find Naraku the fastest why, she would be seen as an enemy. If anything, she did not want the man she had fallen in love with to think of her as an enemy, she just wanted to help him while getting herself out of the curse he had left on her. Once she began to hear his warning growl, Kagura bared her neck and said, "I'm here to help you. I know I can track down Naraku without a second thought. However you have to trust me."
"If you have to say that then there is more to your story so explain yourself." Kikiyo hissed.
Once she was sure that Sesshomaru was not going to add to what Kikiyo had said she added, "I was cursed by that bastard a long time ago, he has my heart, so no matter how many time I will get attacked I will not die."
"So you are his little pet, I have no use for you." Sesshomaru growled as he turned to leave.
"Where are you going? You don't even know where to find them." Kikiyo hissed out as she noticed that he was not going to use the car but his own power.
"I am going to go and full fill what I have promised to my sister." Sesshomaru growled before his disappeared in a ball of light.
"Lead the way; you are all I have now." Kikiyo ordered as the car doors were opened.
"I know he loves her…but he will be my mate. I know that he will me mine." Kagura whispered as she got into the car and began to tell Kikiyo which way to go.
"Wait a minute…this is…this is the way to her house." Kikiyo stated as she began to press on the gas so that they could go faster.
Rin jumped over her wounded friend while healing his wound once more. Once she had done sure, she protected him in a bubble of water and ice while she continued her fight with Naraku. Just as she had blocked his attack, Rin used her flames to blast him back so that she could catch her breath. She had no idea how long this fight had gone on but it was going on long enough. 'I have to do it, I have take him with me to the pits of hell…but if I do that then there will be no one to get John out of here.' Rin thought as she raised her sword and pointed at Naraku as she heard him growl out, "I see someone started her training again when she got back."
"Continued and mastered it." Rin hissed.
"Is that so?" Naraku growled as he slightly relaxed so that he could truly take notice of her stance and the way she held her sword. "I only see a little girl that was trained by a weak dog."
"I don't see that at all." A growl was heard before Naraku was thrown through the back wall and into her backyard.
"I never said you could come in, what are you doing here." Rin hissed as she walked over to her wall of weapons and got her fan weapons.
"I have a promise to take." Sesshomaru growled as he turned to face her friend that was in a barrier and currently tied up. "And who is he?"
"He is a friend, now would you mind, I have some unfinished business to take care of." Rin hissed as she ran toward the back yard while placing a barrier so that the fight would not go over to the next house.
"Foolish girl, I'm here to help." Sesshomaru growled as he caught up with her.
"Oh, but she doesn't need your help. You'll be the one needing her help." Naraku growled as he appeared unharmed by Sesshomaru's attack.
"What do you car anyway." Rin whispered, "You should be with that claimed of yours."
"Indeed, where is that claimed of yours lord Sesshomaru I'd just love to see you again." Naraku growled as he licked his lips.
"Bastard!" Rin yelled as she opened her weapons and charged.
"Damn it Rin." Sesshomaru growled as he followed after her to block whatever attack she would not notice.
"I'm fine on my own!" Rin yelled out as she easily cut Naraku only to use her flames to get under his skin so that he would burn from the inside out.
"You bitch!" Naraku roared in pain as he jumped back while putting out the flames with his miasma.
"I'll take that as a complement." Rin hissed as she landed next to Sesshomaru while adding, "I told you I'd be fine, just get John out of here for me."
"I can't do that, I have promise to full fill to my sister." Sesshomaru growled before he charged at Naraku.
"You idiot!" Rin yelled out in anger before charging at Naraku as well.
"Kanna…why don't you calm my little pet for me?" Naraku called before a girl dressed in all white appeared.
She had a whit button up shirt, a whit skirt that showed of her pale skin and no shoes. As she appeared before Rin, she locked eyes with Rin and said, "Play with me…mother."
"Mother? I'm not your mother." Rin said as she got ready to attack only to find herself putting her weapons down.
"Mother…play with me." Kanna whispered once more.
"Rin!" Sesshomaru growled as he jumped back only to jump further away from her as Naraku attacked.
"You attacked me so finish me off before you even try getting to my pet." Naraku growled as he charged at Sesshomaru.
"No…let…go…Dante…burn…"Rin whispered as she tried to keep control and the grip on her weapons.
"Kanna stop before you're killed!" a familiar voice was heard before Rin was pulled back and behind a woman.
"Rin…Rin are you alright?" Kikiyo's worried voice was heard.
"I'm fine…uh…what happened." Rin asked as she could feel herself getting control over her body once more.
"You have got to be more careful." Kikiyo stated.
"Well if it isn't my dear cousin…how are you these days?" Naraku asked in a mocking tone as he threw Sesshomaru away from him.
"I'm fine, just get my friend out of here." Rin answered as she pushed her away while trying to get herself off the ground. 'She should have been able to read my soul…which means that she would know what I want to do…this is my only chance.'
"What are you talking about?" Kikiyo hissed. "I came to help you not your friend."
"If you help my friend I promise to run and let Sesshomaru handle things here…just please help him out of here." Rin stated.
"Uh…just wait right here. Kagura watch out for her." Kikiyo ordered before she ran off to go and put her cousin's friend in the back of her car.
"Right." Kagura growled as she kept her eyes on her sister, "Kanna, please you have got to fight him."
"She can't." Rin stated as she stood up as if nothing.
"Damn it Rin that was just an act!" Sesshomaru growled as he blocked Naraku's attack.
"You know nothing of my sister." Kagura growled as she kept Rin from Kanna's mirror.
"I know lots more than you do…" Rin hissed back as she drew her dragon like eyes back out to be used. 'Now is my only chance.'
"Sesshomaru!" Kagura called for as she was blasted back by Rin power over water.
Once she was out of the way, Rin turned to Kanna and allowed her to use her mirror on her. It was the only way she could get close to Naraku without him thinking that she was up to something. Just as was forced to drop her weapons, she turned to Sesshomaru and said, "Run…"
"Kanna please stop this!" Kagura yelled out as she tried to get to her sister only to be pulled back by Sesshomaru.
"I will not allowed my claimed to get hurt." Sesshomaru growled as he did what Rin told him to do only he ran just to get Kagura away from Kanna.
"Well done Kanna, once I have what I want you are free to go with your sister." Naraku growled as Rin regrettably made her way to his side.
"Bastard." Rin hissed as she found herself able to speak but unable to move her body freely.
"Now, now my precious wife, that is no way to talk to your husband." Naraku growled as he used one of his claws to draw blood from her neck.
"Don't touch her!" Sesshomaru growled as he placed Kagura behind him.
"I need to get to my sister." Kagura hissed.
"No, you need to stay still." Sesshomaru growled as he withdrew his sword once more.
"Now, now, you have your claimed and I have my wife, how about I hand over your claims sister ad you'll leave us be…right my pet?" Naraku growled as he wrapped a hand around her throat.
"Let me go." Rin said as she tried to control her breathing so that she was able to stay conscious.
"Not by a long shot bitch." Naraku growled.
"Kanna stop this!" Kagura cried as she was held back by Sesshomaru.
As Naraku continued to tighten his hold on her, Rin turned to look at Sesshomaru with a sad smile on her face before closing her eyes. Before he could even charge forward, he heard her voice say, 'Take them, get the out of here, these flames will burn friends and foe…I the phoniex of ice and fire will be reborn once more…protect those I fought for until I return…be happy…I love you…'
As he felt her aura flaring up, Sesshomaru looked away as Rin turned into Naraku's arms in order to take Kanna and Kagura so that they would not get hurt. As he did so, Rin easily got control over Naraku's motive and began to use it against him. Once she had gotten free from him, Rin kept her hold on Naraku as she hissed out, "Come on my precious husband, let's see if you can with stand Dante's flames."
"You crazy girl!" Naraku yelled as he tried to break free. "Even you will burn to ashes!"
"Don't you know?" Rin asked before leaning in and kissing Naraku as they were both surrounded in blazing flames. "A phoenix is born from its ashes…I will leave again."
Just as the entire house went up in flames, Sesshomaru managed to pull Kikiyo back and hold her down as it went up in flames. He knew what she had meant at that time, he knew that she would come back; he would just have to wait to prove to his sister that he had kept his word, she was safe and would return to them once she was ready to do so. 'Rin…do not make me wait…if you do not hurry…I will not be able to claim what is rightfully mine.' Sesshomaru thought as he put a grieving Kikiyo, a happy Kagura and a confused girl into the car before driving to the hospital.
After they had been checked, Sesshomaru made his way to his brother's house knowing that what awaited him would be a beating he would never forget by his sister; which he would gladly take for failing his sister. After helping his brother convince Kagome that she would come back to everyone, Sesshomaru had realized it was time for him to live on his own. He and Kagura had put their engagement on hold since Kagura still had to help her sadden sister and he had to fix thing between his father and his own life.
After everything had been settled and done with, Sesshomaru began his new life, free from his father's control, Kagome moved on and realized that she still had her children to care for, to raise until the day her cousin would return to them. Kikiyo made the families realize how stupid all of this and held a meeting so that all of the power of the families would be given back to the rightful owner, the lord of the west, Inutaisho. Kagura was not going to give up, she would make sure Sesshomaru would become her mate, she would convince him to keep their engagement.
