            "Sesshomaru," Naraku sneered, "Surely you've come for another reason other than to see me select from these women."

            "Pathetic..." Sesshomaru said under his breath.

            Naraku looked at him with a questioning look.

            "Choosing a human as a bride when you yourself are a hanyou."

            "As I remember, you mate was to human."

            Sesshomaru choose to stay quiet with this statement.

            "And as I also remember, she was killed by me."

            Sesshomaru's glare became colder. Rin gulped and jumped behind Jaken. The two watched in horror as Sesshomaru drew the Toukijin.

            "And now you shall be killed by me."

            Silently, Kurama, Inuyasha, Kuwabara, and Shippo hurried down the corridor. Shippo was on all fours trying to keep up with the others, while Kurama and Inuyasha were using their demon qualities to glide swiftly through the halls. Kuwabara was ahead of Shippo, but wasn't running as fast as Inuyasha or Kurama.

            "Stop." Inuyasha said.

            Kurama and Shippo, with their youkai instincts obeyed, but Kuwabara ran head first into a dark invisible force.

            "Itai!" He yelled.

            The force materialized. Shippo's eyes widened till they could widen no longer. "Oh, shit!" Shippo wailed.

            "I am Denji, demon four of the youkai quintet." He smirked.

            "And the ugliest so far." Inuyasha muttered.

            True, the demon looked more oni then youkai. But the aura radiating off this thing was really putrid to the older demons noses, and Shippo had already passed out.

            Denji laughed as he saw the three warriors before him take out their weapons, "You idiots," He said, "You shall fight me not by strength but by mental capabilities."

            Shippo chose this time to arise, "Then we're doomed!! Inuyasha has no brain at all!!!!!!!"

            "WANNA SAY THAT AGAIN YOU STUPID FOX!!!!!?"

            "Kurama! Help meeee!!!!"

            "Inuyasha, we have more important things, like the life of Kagome."

            Inuyasha frowned knowing he was right, but he still whacked Shippo over the head anyway.

            "Hehehe..." Denji smirked, "Let's go."

            The was a bright green light, and the next thing they knew, the three fighters, plus a kitsune, were brought to a world filled with candy. Shippo's eyes lit up.

            "Candy..."

            "Stop." Kurama warned him, "It's a trap."

            Shippo stopped and sniffed the candy, still not touching it. "It smells like—like..." His eyes were filled with pure terror, "Hiten and Manten!!" He wailed, jumping into the arms of the nearest person, who was Kurama.

            "But I killed them!" Inuyasha said.

            "Just don't touch the---" Kuwabara stopped in mid sentence as the candy turned into billions and billions of beautiful women.

            "No..." Sango whispered, "You BI---"

            "Now, now, taijiya, I might be able to help you, if you help me." Kagura said.

            "What?" Sango spat.

            "Well, I'll release you from the cell and help you defeat the Y5 quintet, but you must free me from Naraku." She said.

            "Free you from—Oh.."

            Botan stirred from unconsciousness. "Kagura!?" She yelled as soon as she was back.

            "Yo."

            Botan stood up, "I remember you especially."

            "Me?" Kagura asked, "You've never even seen me."

            "You forget, I'm the 'grim reaper.'" She said, "Your soul was especially hard to find a place for. Number thirty thousand and four, died of betrayal. And your still seeking freedom."

            Kagura nodded slightly. "Who doesn't?"

            Yukina slowly sat up, her head was spinning. Silently she came to Botan's side and put her hand over the lock. It froze. Then slowly she melted it, ice and metal alike. "We will help you, but you must help us."

            "You've already freed yourselves..."

            "Where is you heart being kept?" Yukina asked.

            "In a room next to the slave chambers."

            "Make sure Kanna doesn't go near Naraku, and protect the girls." Sango said.

            Kagura nodded and set off. The five girls walked out of the dungeon and down the corridors. There, in the middle of a hallway, was a large tentacle like arm shooting towards Miroku's heart.

            "HOUSHI-SAMA!!!!!" Sango yelled.
