Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. I do own any characters that I made up.

Me: Okay, as you have seen, I have changed my name to Shiroi Hikari

Sesshoumaru: She did it because she wanted something original

Me: Yeah. Well, my friend Fukai Tsumi was really the one who suggested it.

Inuyasha: Feh. 'Animechick8' was a stupid name and 'Shiroi Hikari' is too.

Me: Kagome!

Kagome: SIT!!!

Inuyasha: Oomph!

Sesshoumaru: Stupid half-breed.

Me: Now, some of you are probably very confused. You're not alone. I'm totally confused and this is my fic!O_o I'll try to explain some things in this chapter. Er, yeah.

Kiniro Sakura
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Things Explained

~Last Time~

"If you value your life, you will follow us. I know who is attacking us better than any of you do." She snarled and ran to catch up with the rest of the group. Sesshoumaru just glanced at his gaping brother before running after Sakura. Inuyasha shook his head and, against his better judgment, ran after them.

~This Time~

Sakura sighed in relief when she saw Sesshoumaru's lair in the distance. The group had been running for about an hour, with short breaks in between. Miroku had to be peeled off the ground several times for groping Sango while riding Kirara in the air. Keshi had given Kagome and Shippo to Asagao because he was getting tired. Suzuran and Kouga had stayed toward the back of the group, their guards up. Inuyasha had been running along the trees and half way through their 'trip' Suzuran had lost his scent but caught the scent of dead earth and bones. I bet Inuyasha is going to meet that corpse slut. Sakura thought angrily as she looked at the sky moodily. She was quickly brought out of her musings when she ran headlong into Sesshoumaru, who had stopped.

"What's wrong?" She mumbled as she steadied herself. Suzuran clapped her on the head, causing her to lose her balance once again.

"We're at Sesshoumaru's castle stupid! Quit thinking so hard!" She growled playfully. Sakura stuck her tongue out at Suzuran who went to hide behind Kouga. Sakura shook her head and smiled as small arms embraced one of her legs.

"Sakura-sama! Rin is very happy to see you!" Sakura looked down to a smiling Rin who was now holding her hand.

"Did you say hi to Sesshoumaru-sama?" Sakura asked as she picked the child up. Rin nodded.

"Yep. Rin said hi while Suzuran-sama was hitting you." Rin said and giggled. Sakura smiled and shook her head. She noticed Shippo staring at Rin out of the corner of her eye and sat Rin on the ground. Seconds later Shippo and Rin were running around the adults and chattering happily. Sakura sighed and smiled as she saw Umi and Oshika, plus Jaken, standing at the front of the castle's gates. Umi hugged Sakura and then went on to the other females. Jaken was immediately taken hostage by Shippo and Rin and was pulled away screaming for his life when Rin decided that she wanted to play dress-up with Jaken. Sakura laughed and several minutes later the group entered the castle.

************************************************************************

I am VERY sorry for the short chapter but I have no inspiration right now. And I guess this chapter really didn't explain anything. *shrugs* Oh well. Maybe next chapter will. And the reason that Suzuran knows of Sakura's family is:

A: Sakura told her lots of stories about her family, including things about how powerful they were.

B. Hakari (Suzuran's mom) told her stories of Sakura's family, including things about their power.

C. Suzuran was alive when the mini-battle occurred and could feel Sakura's family's power before they died.

I hope that explains some stuff about how Suzuran knew what Sakura was talking about in the last chapter. Ja ne and please review! Shiroi Hikari
