Hey guys~! Thanks for the feedback last chapter! i see a lot of people really excited for Kaname's and Kagome's reunion, along with Kaname's reunion with the rest of the family.

But i never said anything about her being able to use the well. I haven't decided about that yet, Because most female Oc's are able to use it and i don't understand how they could since it clearly stated in the manga/anime that only Inuyasha and Kagome could use it.

But i think i found a loop hole to that.

Also, I forgot about the amount of cussing that was in the manga! Like, holy Jamallama, they cuss a lot. Even sesshomaru does, and it's weird to think of sesshomaru cussing...

Just...No...I can't...Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that he fucking Cusses?

Hm~? Hm~?

AND HOORAY! SAKURA-CON TOMORROW! WOOOOT! I CAN'T WAIT! GIHIHIHIHIHI! (GAJEEL?!)

Anyway, enough with the rambling, go and read!

Because...A Baboon?

"GIVE ME THE SACRED JE-GWUUUUUUUUAAAAAGH!"

I sighed as I stared down at the spot the spider looking demon had been, being dissolved by the small barrier I made, it's been stalking me as I bathed. I honesty didn't understand why people and demons shout before they attack. If they'd just shut up, then they'd be doing the sneak attack properly. Idiot's. I thought as I lowered my naginata and sunk back into the natural hot-spring we had found as we traveled, it felt good to soak all the rubbish away from my skin. I closed my eyes while laying against a heated bolder that felt really good, giving out a content sigh of bliss while running my fingers through my hair. The small red bag that held the jewels was hanging around my neck, so I would always have it near me so nothing could get to it easily.

Speaking of jewel, I finally remembered where it was that I had heard of it before, It was from grandfather and Father. I remember them telling me and Kagome, who didn't bother to listen at the time, all about the jewel of four souls. How a powerful priestess called Midoriko had fought a thousand or so demons, and at one point had been cornered by them when they combined their power. In response to this the priestess combined both their souls into herself before ejecting it out in the form of a beautiful jewel. The jewel was so powerful that it could grant wishes and power to those who possessed it, thus, resulting in both demons and mortals fighting over it. It had gotten so bad that innocent villagers and settlements had gotten caught in the cross fire. For generations the jewel was protected by a village of demon slayers, knowing the consequences of what would happen should the jewel fall into the wrong hands. But it started to become too much, the demons were growing more and more, as were bandit attacks and lords who sought out the jewel. So, the village leader at the time decided that they could no longer protect the jewel, sacrificing generations of their own.

The solution? The jewel was handed over to a young priestess, who was also powerful in her own right, to guard it. She had defeated all who had come for the jewel, both demon and mortal, and kept it pure.

Until one demon had tricked the priestess into a lull of comfort by pretending to be a friend. The demon struck when the priestess's guard was down, slashing open her shoulder and taking the jewel. Before the demon could escape, the priestess followed it and pinned the demon to a tree with a sacred arrow. She had sealed him for all eternity to the tree and prevented the demon from reeking havoc, her final wish was to have the jewel burned with her body before she died from the wounds the demon had given her.

"...Thus the Shikon no Tama was lost to all who sought it, and some peace returned to Japan." I muttered, resting my head on one of my arms as I examined the fragment from the fabled 'Lost' Shikon no Tama. I hummed as I watched it shine, before narrowing my eyes at it, "What a load of bullshit that was, It's still here..." I snorted, making me purse my lips in thought. "...If it was 'lost', then how is it still here?" I questioned to myself, trying to figure out how the jewel was still here. I shrugged, putting away the shard, before standing up and getting dressed. I think I had spent quite some time in the hot-spring. I thought, amused at how Jaken was sure to squawk about it. "Maybe I can burn it again?" I mused, thinking of a way I could get rid of the jewel. "But first...I would have to collect all the shard, it together, keep it away from mortals and demons long enough then somehow burn a jewel."

…

…

Yeah, I think that's too much of a hassle to do. Then again, why should I care? It's not like the jewel effects me in anyway. I decided as I walked out into the meadow Sesshomaru was waiting in along with the frog. It's not like it endangers my family in anyway.

Kagome sneezed as she followed the wealthy man towards the room she and the rest would be using.

"Hm? You okay kagome?" shippo asked as kagome frowned.

"Yeah, I think I'm good." she replied with a smile before stepping into the room.

Sota sneezed, making him hit his head on his desk as he did his homework. "Hm? Wonder if I'm getting sick?" he muttered. His mind then wandered to the time Inuyasha had come over from the well, Souta really wanted to see what the other side was like. Ah, but what if they have more scary demons like that mask over there? he wondered.

Maybe he was just find where he was at the moment.

"I am sorry for the wait, my lord." I called out, getting his attention for a brief moment before he hummed and started to walk again. It was his sign that we were leaving, and that Jaken had better hurry up and get A-Un up. I smiled, passing the frog that was trying to get A-Un up, and went towards the dragon. Un lifted his head up, giving a small noise of content as I scratched his scales, before slapping Jaken away with his tail. "Oh Jaken, when will you learn that A-Un does not appreciate being yelled at by a frog?"

"HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TELL YOU?!" He yelled in response, getting up with a red mark on his face from the hit, "I AM NOT A FROG!" he insisted while waving his staff around.

"As long as you look like one." I responded with a smirk, putting my foot into the stirrup, and swinging my leg over before getting comfortable. "Come, A-Un, Lord Sesshomaru is being kind enough to wait for us to catch up." I said, pulling the reins slightly to get the dragon up. He grunted a bit, but got up and started to walk towards Sesshomaru, who had waited a bit before moving again.

"W-WAIT FOR ME MY LOOOOORD~!"

I rolled my eyes at the toad. Oh Jaken, if you talked less and worked more, maybe Sesshomaru will notice you. I thought, before a saying from the future came into my head. I contemplated if I should say it. Since It's the past, wouldn't that mean I would be the inventor to the joke? I mused before grinning as I looked towards Jaken. "Jaken." I called, gaining the frog's gaze.

"What?" he answered with a grumble and a glare in my direction.

I stared at him, "Senpai will never notice you." I deadpaned, trying to resist the urge to laugh at the bewildered face he was making. I urged A-Un forward, mentally laughing as I came up besides Sesshomaru. He gave me a curious look, no doubt wondering what that saying meant. "...It is a joke from the future." I explained. He still looked like he didn't get it, but decided not to question me.

It was a few day's later that I found myself examining Sesshomaru's new arm, Jaken had found a blue demon that was able to withstand my presence near it. Sadly the things arm didn't really compliment Sesshomaru's figure nor aura, it was a great contrast of skin texture. Not to mention it looked out of place with him.

"Hmm..." I hummed, holding the three digit hand in my own, observing how he stretched and curled the fingers and letting me see how much he could use this arm. "...It seems good enough until we find an arm that is more powerful." I decided.

He hummed in response, his own amber eye's studying the appendage. "You do not think it will last then?"

"Well, I am not sure if it can withstand your poison yet." I commented, taking a step forward as I looked for permission to undo some of his kimono so I could check on where the arm attached. He gave a nod, thus allowing me to slip it down until I saw where the blue arm connected with his fair skin. I ignored the defined chest, not that I wasn't interested, but I did not think Sesshomaru would appreciate it. "It seems to still be intact, your blood hasn't corroded the bond yet." I noted, since it has happened before with some of the arm's. With Sesshomaru's acidic blood he had to be conscious and careful about their melting property, he could control it of course, but he's never had to have done so before now. So he grew frustrated and annoyed when his blood would practically burn the wound completely closed, thus forcing him to reopen it himself so it could properly bond. He had to let the arm sit for a certain amount of time- that time depending on the arm- for it to bond with him before he could attempt to push his poison through it. Thus, the reason he had to be careful, or the arm is a lost cause before he could even test it out.

"Hn." he lifted his arm somewhat to see the bond itself, bending his arm at the elbow to test it. "Then all that is left is to test it."

"mhm, it seems stable enough to do so." I said with a nod while stepping back, not before fixing his kimono, and crossing my arms. "Now, all we need is to find something to test it out on." I decided, only turn my head when I heard the stamped of horse's. "Oh, what luck, there are a group of mortals heading our way."

He spared them a glance, only turning around when the now identified bandits pulled out their swords and started to yell. Sesshomaru did not look impressed, in fact he looked a little peeved at what ever it was that the bandit's shouted, instead he turned around and raised his new arm, cracking it lightly and sending his poison through it's veins. Faster then the mortals could see, Sesshomaru had launched himself at them, decapitating both the men and horses, before landing.

"Oh," I muttered, picking my way through the gore left behind, pausing at one of the still alive bandits that seemed to be in agony. "I guess that arm wasn't up to par after all."

"P-Please...L-Lady priestess..." The male gasped, one of his arms were torn off and his horse had fallen on his legs, his only arm reaching out towards me. "H-Help me!...Please...B-Before the demon c-comes back!" he begged, looking pathetic as he laid in the pool of blood.

I stared at him for a moment, stepping back from his reaching hand before he dirtied my hakama, and looked towards lord Sesshomaru who had thrown his already rotting arm at Jaken. "My lord Sesshomaru-" I could see the bandit's eye's widen at my address towards Sesshomaru, he must have realized that I was with the demon he feared. "It seems you have missed one. I guess you could not fully use the arm." and without hesitation, I grabbed one of the katanas that stuck from the ground and embedded it into the bandits head.

"Hn...Jaken."

"Y-Yes my lord?"

"Go and look for a youkai with a stronger arm. Otherwise, I will have to kill you." he ordered as he started to walk back towards me, his nose scrunching up at the blood from the filthy bandits, before he looked at me. "Kaname, step out of their before their stench clings to you. I will not tolerate you smelling of filth."

I raised a brow at what he said, but complied non the less. I glanced up at the setting sun, marveling at the colors of the sky, "...It's beautiful." I mumbled, causing Sesshomaru to stop walking and look at me. "The sky, it's beautiful, is it not? How the colors change and compliment each other." I explained. He stared a bit more, then looked at the setting sun himself.

Something seeming to flash through his eyes. "I do not see what has you so entranced."

"...it's simple beauty." Responded softly, knowing he heard me. "I like simple things, the occasional extravagant thing once in a while, but others seem to find me weird for it." I said with a small shrug, "Why? Do you find it weird as well?"

"It is simply not what I would consider beautiful."

"Oh? Then what would you consider beautiful? If I may be so bold that is." I asked. My only response was Sesshomaru's gaze on me, his eyes seeming to hone in on me. I was suddenly very aware of how close we were standing next to each other, making my cheeks heat up slightly.

It was silent for after that, the two of us going back to watching the sun, before a different voice piped in.

"You seem to be in a bit of a fix." a deep smooth voice said, making Sesshomaru and I turn to face the speaker. We were met with a demon wearing a white baboon pelt kneeling in the foliage near us. Jaken scurried behind Sesshomaru, wary of the new male, while I simply cocked a brow at the demon. "Elder brother of that accursed Inuyasha, Sesshomaru-sama, are you not?" the baboon questioned.

Sesshomaru just regarded him with disinterest. "What do you want?"

"I am, like yourself, one who hates Inuyasha." the baboon simply replied, making me narrow my eyes at it. There was something about the baboon I did not like. He then held out an arm towards Sesshomaru, a human arm...a human arm that has a shard in it. "This arm, please make use of it."

"Hnn?! Cut the jokes, Asshole! Isn't that a human arm!?" Jaken yelled, offended by the idea of Sesshomaru using such a thing.

"Baboon," I called cutting of what was going to be said next. "Is that not a Shikon fragment embedded in it?"

"A shikon fragment you say?" Jaken asked, as Sesshomaru looked slightly interested in where this was going.

The baboon seemed to stare at me, before nodding his head. "You are correct lady miko, it is a fragment of the famed shikon no tama. If you use a human arm, you'll even be able to use the demon blade Tetsusaiga that Inuyasha carries." he explained, looking from me to Sesshomaru.

I looked at Sesshomaru to see his expression turned surprised, before a thoughtful look came across his features. The baboon had certainly caught his attention, and now I know how Sesshomaru had lost that arm.

"I have heard of the Tetsusaiga, the 'sword which protects humans'. Normally, it is a sword that a perfect youkai like you wouldn't be able to handle..." he trailed off, hinting that the arm would allow Sesshomaru to wield the sword he wanted.

"Heh, bastard...you said that you hate Inuyasha didn't you." he mused, "For the sake of killing Inuyasha, you're saying you'll make use of me?" he stated more then asked. I was intrigued by this statement, wondering if the baboon will try and make an excuse or not.

"Quite right."

Jaken spluttered at the demons bluntness. Sesshomaru just seemed amused at the answer.

"Interesting...Then I'll make use of this arm." Sesshomaru agreed as I stepped up and took the arm from the demon, pulsing some of my power through the arm to shock him as he still had hold of it. He let go quickly, his hands steaming, as I stepped back with a glare.

"...And another thing..." he then rummaged through his pelt, before presenting us with a round looking hive. "This nest should prove helpful to you. There is a troublsome companion that travels with Inuyasha." Sesshomaru took it, pocketing it.

"Will you give me your name?"

"Naraku...Is what I'm called."

"Naraku, you have yourself a deal."

And with that, the baboon vanished from our sight.

"Kaname, stay here with A-Un." Sesshomaru said when we had arrived at the campsite we had left the dragon. I stared at him questionably, I had just helped him attach the arm and was surprised by the speed the bond took to hold. It was probably because of the fragment.

"...May I asked as to why I shall be staying here?" I said when he just stared at me.

"This fight is between demons, I do not want you possibly hindering me when Inuyasha has had the possibility of unlocking Tetsusaiga's power." was what he said. I hummed, accepting that answer, and sighed in disappointment at being left behind with naught to do.

I didn't even have sayuri here to torture.

Alas.

"Hm, alright, if I cannot be there physically, then I shall be there figuratively." I said with a nod, reaching up and taking off the pouch from around my neck and holding it up to Sesshomaru. "If I may, I would like for you to wear this so I may be there in a spiritual sense. And, maybe, it could help." I said, only to giggle at the narrow eyes pointed at me. "No, no, no. it's not that I do not have faith in you Sesshomaru, because I do, I just thought that maybe having so many shards near one another could strengthen them. Maybe my shards will resonate with the shard in the arm, strengthening the arm enough for you to use your poison? It may help you in your battle."

He seemed to think on this for a moment, before giving me a small nod. "Very well." he then tilted his head down, and I slipped the small bag around his neck, running my hands through his hair so the string was underneath it. He then tucked it into his kimono and stood up straight.

"Sesshomaru," I called as he started to walk away, he paused and looked at me. I bit my bottom lip, "I do not trust that baboon, please be cautious about that arm." and with one final nod he left, leaving me and A-Un to entertain ourselves.

Sesshomaru was fiddling with the necklace that held the fragment as he waited for the ogre to arrive at their destination. The reason he didn't want Kaname to come, was the fact that her sister was most likely going to be there with his half brother again, and if she was there then Kagome would more then likely try and interfere again. Which, would lead to Sesshomaru himself almost killing her again, and he didn't want Kaname to be there to witness that. "Hopefully she doesn't do anything foolish this time." he muttered at the thought of Kagome butting in.

"My lord Sesshomaru, we're almost there!" Jaken said, pointing with his staff at the small village they had found out Inuyasha was staying at. Sesshomaru hummed in acknowledgment, putting away the necklace and propping his new arm on his knee, right under his chin. The ogre had destroyed a tall building, but he didn't care for the mortals that were just killed inside. no. what he cared for was the Tetsusaiga that he could see from Inuyasha's waist.

"Sesshomaru...!" Inuyasha exclaimed, apparently surprised to see him. The elder brother only raised a brow, actually wondering if Inuyasha seriously thought he could kill him off so easily.

Foolish pup. He thought as he stood up, and leap down and landed a few inches from Inuyasha. His eyes roamed over Inuyasha's newest additions to the small pack. A monk and a small fox child were now around the two. He was slightly peeved at the fact that Kagome was, in fact, still here. Again she runs from the mere sight of me. He noted with slight scorn, how on earth was she Kaname's sister? "Hmp. Your moves are as slow as ever, Inuyasha." he drawled.

Inuyasha scowled at him, "Sesshomaru! What the fuck are you here for!?" he snarled.

"Enough with the pathetic questions. My business is with the Tetsusaiga you carry." he sighed, because honestly, why else would he even be here? He thought his brother would have been smarter then that at least. I guess not. He thought.

"Tch, bastard, still haven't learned your lesson huh?"

Sesshomaru did not look amused at Inuyasha's taunt. "Draw, Inuyasha. I'll allow you, at least, a mockery of resistance."

"BULLSHIT!" Inuyasha retorted, darting to run at Sesshomaru while drawing the Tetsusaiga, "THIS TIME YOU'LL GET MORE THAN JUST YOUR ARM LOPPED OFF!" he then swung, but Sesshomaru only needed to take a step aside for him to avoid the sword. And seeing the lack of anything else happen, made some of Sesshomaru's thoughts earlier be confirmed.

"Hmp. As I thought, Inuyasha you haven't mastered the Tetsusaiga, have you?" now he just felt somewhat a little more foolish for thinking that Inuyasha- of all people- could have even unlocked Tetsusaiga's power, let alone master it. So I do not have to worry if the oaf will accidentally send an attack her way then. He thought, a little satisfied by this turn of events.

Not that he was worried or anything...

Inuyasha looked even more angry then usual, "WHA..?! WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Sesshomaru was considering that his brother had somehow gone deaf. "DON'T MOCK ME, BASTARD!" Inuyasha yelled, again charging at Sesshomaru with no skill.

Had he not even bothered to take up swordsmanship after he had obtained the Tetsusaiga? Sesshomaru wonder as he caught Inuyasha's wrist with his right hand, stopping it fairly easily. Truly a disappointment to fathers blood. Sesshomaru mentally sighed. And he had thought only Kaname had an idiotic sibling when it came to logic. He observed Inuyasha's surprised face, Sesshomaru had to wonder if Inuyasha actually thought any of this through.

"Ugh...!" Inuyasha grunted, trying to move his arm.

Sesshomaru, on the other hand, merely cocked an eyebrow at his brothers stupidity. His brother had another arm, right there, not in use, so why didn't he use it?

Why the hell did he have to have such a stupid little brother when it came to fighting?

"your sword form is completely open, the sword is throwing you around..." Sesshomaru drawled in distaste, clenching his hand around Inuyasha's wrist and hearing the crunch of bones. He then dug his poisonous claws into the hanyou's flesh, watching it start to rot and melt away.

"H-His arm is being dissolved!?" the new male said from next to Kagome.

"It's his poison claw." Kagome informed the male.

"If you don't release the sword, I'll melt your arm off." Sesshomaru pointed out, only to be slightly amazed that his brother had figured out to use his other hand and start to pushed the sword.

"Before that happens..." Inuyasha grunted, then pushed his weight forward to push Sesshomaru back. "I'LL SLICE YOU IN TWO!"

Sesshomaru huffed, "Annoying..." he then just jumped back a bit away, but as he was in the air Sesshomaru used his Mokomoko to dislodged Tetsusaiga from Inuyasha's grip. He appeared right where the sword had landed, cutting Inuyasha from being able to get it himself, before grabbing it with his new arm. He smirked when the barrier didn't act up and allowed him to lift up the sword. The jewel in his arm felt warm, and he could feel the same feeling around his neck, where the pouch was located.

"It may help you in your battle." Kaname said, a small smile playing at her lips as she waited for his answer.

He hummed in thought, Maybe they did help... he thought as he glanced down at where the bag was located, the warm hum of the fragments energy seeping through the bag into him. Sesshomaru then swung the sword at Inuyasha, releasing some of it's power at the pup. "Let me show you, Inuyasha, the true power of the Tetsusaiga." he then turned his head and called up to Jaken, "Jaken!"

"Certainly, Sesshomaru-sama!" Jaken called back tapping the oger's shoulder and directing it towards the mountain. "In a moment, a mountain of youkai spirits will be driven out." the oger then lifted it's giant hand, and slammed it into the mountain side.

It was silent for a moment, before hundreds of demons flew out of the forest, seeking shelter elsewhere.

"Look now, Inuyasha. One swing..." Sesshomaru said, gaining the hanyous attention. He then swung the sword, releasing three long rows of demonic energy, "Destroying a hundred youkai in one swing!"

They all watched as the demons were ripped to shreds. But it did not stop there as the mountain side was also destroyed.

Sesshomaru was satisfied at this outcome, he had finally gotten what was rightfully his, and all he had to do was plunder the arm of a mortal and use a shard to do it.

Kaname sighed, resting her head against A-Un, the latter of the two (Three?) was grazing. Kaname didn't have much to do, Sesshomaru was gone to probably destroy his brother so she had no one to talk to, and he had taken the frog with him so she couldn't torture anyone in her boredom.

"...Oh A-Un, how do you stand having to wait?" she asked the dragon, to which it replied with a snort. She huffed, "Well, at least you can eat and sleep with no problem. I, on the other hand, feel like I'm going to go mad with nothing to do." she replied. A-Un only shook his head, telling her he could do nothing about it, only serving to make Kaname purse her lips in thought.

…

…

…

"Well, I could catch up on my torturing skills..." she mused after a few minutes of nothing coming to mind. Yes, Sesshomaru did say that she probably didn't need the skill so much right now, but it was a handy thing to have. Just in case. So, with a nod to her head, Kaname stood up and dusted herself off. "Right then. A-Un, will you help me in finding some demon so I can practice on? You may eat it afterward if you like." she bribed. The dragon looked at her, looking a bit cuter without it's muzzles on, then at each other seeming to discuss something. Both head's looked at her and nodded, making Kaname grin. "Excellent! I'll just leave a quick message to Sesshomaru in case he comes back earlier then expected," she said, digging into her bag and writing her quick note. "The barrier will let me find this place since you probably cannot smell anything because of said barrier." she explained to the dragons look.

Once mounted, A-Un took to the sky.

"Now then, who will be the lucky demon or mortal that will be the one to help me in my skill~?" she hummed with a sadistic grin.
