Sesshomaru.
Miroku's eyebrow twitched, why oh why did HE have to come, right now?! Could things get any worse? Now even if Inuyasha showed up, Sesshomaru would beat him into a pulp again, but if Inuyasha didn't show up, Kouga would leave with Kagome.
Why did it have to be THAT youkai? Any other would have been completely fine, but no, they had to have another little "reunion" all over again.
He sighed, but suddenly felt a sharp tug on his arm. Miroku winced. After all, Kouga had just finished beating him up pretty well.
"Well?! Are we just going to stand here while that evil brother of Inuyasha makes matters even worse? We have to do something, houshi-sama!"
Sango insisted as Kirara behind them jumped from Shippo's arms to transform and stand by her master.
"What do you suggest we do, Lady Sango? There is no way we could stand up to both Sesshomaru AND Kouga without Inuyasha here. Also, I believe Kouga will be faster and stronger than normal because he believes he is fighting for Kagome. Kirara and I are both still wounded from our fight with Kouga."
Miroku replied back, knowing that his answer would seem like cowardice to Sango, but it was the truth; the demon huntress was just too blinded with concern for Kagome to see it.
"No! Kouga wants to kidnap Kagome, but Sesshomaru only cares about Inuyasha. I don't think Sesshomaru would really care about our fight with Kouga! We have to fight, or else Kagome..."
Sango stopped, not finishing her sentence, and climbed onto Kirara.
"I'm going to go rescue Kagome. By myself, if necessary."
Sango's voice was hard when she said this and she simply gazed at the stopped dot of Kouga as he saw Sesshomaru.
"Alright, I'll come. Inuyasha would kill me if I didn't do this for him." Miroku surrendered, and climbed onto Kirara, sitting behind Sango.
Sango whispered a warning before telling Kirara to go,
"If you try anything, I'll tell Kirara to throw you off and let you fall to the ground."
Miroku's hand suddenly stopped sliding and he decided it was safer to just rest them at his sides, but he was disappointed. He had hoped Sango would forget her usual threat because of the events at the moment.
In a few long jumps, Kirara had brought them to Kouga and Sesshomaru.
They were fighting.
Kouga still had Kagome and that meant his arms were full so he couldn't attack Sesshomaru. The only thing he could do was dodge the claws, and that took all his concentration so he didn't even notice the others that had come up to witness their fight.
"Hand over the reincarnation of Kikyo, wolf, if you know what's good for you. Or else you shall taste the toxins of my claws."
Sesshomaru threatened calmly, not bothering to let up his attacks as he talked.
Sango and Miroku were equally puzzled, well, Sango was a bit more puzzled.
She wondered why Sesshomaru would be fighting Kouga at all. But even more surprising was the fact that Sesshomaru wanted Kagome. The dog-youkai hated humans and he tried to kill Kagome more than once, but did he just want to kidnap her this time?
Miroku was very confused too, but his first thought was that Sesshomaru had finally seen past his foolish hate of humans and realized what a very lovely creature Kagome was. Lucky guy, Miroku himself was never brave enough to risk Inuyasha's wrath and did not try for Kagome after they had started to travel together as friends. Plus, he already had Sango.
Miroku grinned.
Sango saw the familiar hentai grin and knew the houshi was back to thinking his dirty thoughts again, so she gave him a solid whack with her boomerang. How could he be like that at such a crucial time?
On the ground, Miroku sat up and rubbed the new bump on the back of his head,
"Nani?! I was not doing anything this time!" He said, trying to defend himself. He hadn't even realized he started grinning when he was thinking of Sango and...
"Yes, you were and now you're doing it again!!" Sango's shout woke him up from yet another daydream.
"You were thinking something hentai about me again, you...hentai!"
Although it was true, Miroku was not going to give up so easily this time. Getting up, he crossed his arms and said smugly,
"What makes you think I was thinking about you?" he asked her innocently.
"I...I.." Sango stuttered, her face turning red. She didn't know what to say to that. Why had she even something like that in the first place. Searching her mind for some sort of explanation, she couldn't find any, so she simply took the logical, and easier way out.
She knocked him over the head again.
~*~
When Sesshomaru heard Sango's shout, he stopped his assault and looked over. When had they showed up? This might prove to be a bit more difficult than he had thought.
The monk, he could deal with easily. But the demon huntress and her boomerang might prove a bit harder, but the kitsune would not be a problem at all.
Who knows, they might even prove useful.
Smirking, he stopped, then made eye contact with Kouga before sliding his eyes off in the direction of the noisy group so Kouga looked over also.
"It seems your little friends have caught up with you. I wonder what you shall do with all of us attacking you at once?"
His smirk turned into a full, evil grin.
Kouga glanced over to where Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were. He swore under his breath, not wanting Sesshomaru to think he was troubled, and decided to bluff for a while so he could figure out how to escape.
"Those idiots, my friends? No, they're friends of your brother." Kouga used the word, knowing it would infuriate the proud demon-lord, who hated his association to his hanyou sibling. But to his surprise, Sesshomaru did not seem to notice.
Kouga finally decided that although his pride would take a blow, it was the only way out.
He turned around and ran away with Kagome as fast as his Shikon-enhanced legs would carry him.
It wasn't fast enough.
Sesshomaru's claws had started glowing and suddenly his long whip of glowing energy appeared and lashed out to wrap around Kouga's legs, successfully tripping him and making him accidentally throw Kagome into the air.
Jumping into the air himself, Sesshomaru sailed over the fallen Kouga and caught Kagome perfectly.
By now, the bickering Miroku and Sango had stopped and turned to see Kouga fallen face-down on the ground and Sesshomaru bounding off with Kagome.
"No!"
"Kagome!"
~*~
Easily leaving them far behind with his long leaps, Sesshomaru held the still-unconscious girl carefully and looked over to setting sun.
The stars were just beginning to come out and the sky had started to darken.
Although the fading light cast shadows on everything, it seemed to darken Sesshomaru's hair a lot and when the sky was completely dark except for the tiny pinpricks of light from the stars, the demon's eyes appeared to be glow red.
Not as if he were returning to his true demon form, but a different kind of red...
