Diclaimer: Inuyasha is not mine, and he never will be. *sigh* the truth hurts...

Sesshomaru was sitting in an open room in the castle. His eyes were closed, and he remained still. a wooden door to his right was slid open, and The young girl from the modern era entered. She walked in, and following her was Rin, who slid the door shut behind them. "Any news upon their arrival, master?" Kagome asked, looking down at Sesshomaru.
His eyes opened, and didn't even bother glancing in the direction of the two. "My body joins them now. It will not be long." He paused for a moment, then spoke again. "It would be much easier to predict their arrival if we had Kanna's mirror. But now, she is worthless." He said, harshly. Rin spoke not a word, but glanced down at the floor in shame. Kagome paid no attention to this.
"Master..." she began, hesitantly. "Are you sure that your plan will work? That they will come here, and not figure out how to end this on their own? They do possess both your body and the sphere..." With that, Sesshomaru glared harshly at Kagome. "Fool... You assume that I would allow that to happen? Well, you are incorrect. They no longer posses my artifact. It was taken from them not that long ago." Kagome looked shocked. "Nani? What do you mean by that, master?" Sesshomaru chuckled evilly. "What I mean is none of your concern. Just know that they do not have it, and probably haven't even realized it's gone missing." Kagome bowed her head "Hai, hai. But there is still one other thing that concerns me."
Sesshomaru was obviously a bit annoyed by the tone of voice he responded with. "What is it now?" Kagome hesitated. "The shikon no tama. You don't have that fragment anymore!" Sesshomaru chuckled softly. "You are wrong again. I do have it. My body does." Kagura glared down at him. "You know what I mean! It is in the enemy's possession! How could you react so calmly about such a thing?" He remained motionless. "Calm down, Kagura. We have all of what is not fused with that fragment. All save three, and two have just arrived." Kagome was just about to ask what he meant by that, but he stood up and slid open a door leading outside.
He slowly stepped out, and Kagome and Rin followed him. Sesshomaru has his attention on a demon exterminator standing ahead of him. "Kikyou. I see you have arrived." He said, with a smirk on his face. "Do you have them?" Soundlessly, Sango held up two jewel shards and a dark green sphere. Sesshomaru's smirk widened. "Very good." He said, in a somewhat teasing way, as he held out his hand. Sango narrowed her eyes. "Our bargain?"
Sesshomaru chuckled evilly. "Of course. Kagura, go fetch Kohaku." He ordered, and Kagome nodded and backed away into the castle. Shortly after, she returned outside. Inuyasha had followed her out. Sesshomaru gave his a sideways glance and smirked. He then turned back to Sango. "Now, be a good little girl and hand them over." Sango glared at him with great dislike, but approached the demon slowly. When she was nearly right in front of him, she turned her wrist around, and the sphere along with the two shards dropped to the ground. Rin took a few steps foreword and leaned down to pick them up, trying in whatever way she could to be useful. After she had the three items, she returned to her position next to Kagura.
"Well?" Sango asked, expectantly. "Yes, of course." Sesshomaru said, looking over at Inuyasha. "Kohaku, for now you shall travel with her, to ensure that no harm comes to Inuyasha's body." Inuyasha nodded obediently. "Yes, Master Naraku." Sango seemed, at the very least, satisfied. ~Curse you, Naraku.~ She thought. She didn't want to steal from the real Inuyasha, but she didn't want him to die either. If Inuyasha's body died, then his spirit would have no place to return to if they managed to get back in their own bodies. In other words, if the body dies, the owner of that body would as well.
Sango turned her back on them to leave, and Inuyasha followed. They had only gotten a few yard away from them, however, when Inuyasha came to a stop. He heard a voice in his mind, and not a very comforting one at that. ~Kohaku, you know what I expect of you. Do it now.~ The voice was Sesshomaru's. Inuyasha's eyes darkened, and he resumed following Sango. "Kikyou.." Inuyasha said, tonelessly. Sango turned around to face him, but as soon as she had done that she felt a strong fist charging into her stomach. She gave out a small cry and clutched her wounded area, but soon enough passed out onto her back.
Sesshomaru smirked yet again. "Kohaku, take her in there." He said, gesturing towards one of the many small rooms in his castle. "You will be her guard; see to it that she does not escape." Inuyasha nodded. "Yes, Master Naraku." He did as he was commanded. Rin held the shards and the sphere up to Sesshomaru. He took them, and the three of them went back into the castle. Sesshomaru set the shards down with the others he's collected onto a small cloth. He kept the sphere in his palm, and held it up to observe it. ~I was suck a fool back then...~ He thought, narrowing his eyes. ~I created this item... In hopes of putting my enemy into a human body, and mine in that of a youkai. I never intended upon this happening...~
He tightened his grasp around the sphere, and Kagome noticed this. "Master?" She asked, though she detested calling him that. Sesshomaru relaxed, and glanced at Kagome. "When will they arrive?" He asked, and Kagome closed her eyes and concentrated on the large shard owned by Naraku's body. She opened her eyes again, and spoke to reveal their location. "They're here."
