Chapter 5- Kaite's fate...

Naraku's castle... Kikyo was in Naraku's castle. The soul-dragons were swarming around the castle. But, to InuYasha, something didn't smell right. The entire place reeked of fraud, no not literally.

"Something is wrong, Kikyo isn't here, yet she is. It doesn't smell right. It smells vile." InuYasha complained.

"You're right InuYasha, I smell her here, but she also seems to be far from here." Sesshomaru said.

"I cannot feel her presence." The houshi said.

"I too do not detect her." Sango said unhappily.

"Mew?" Kirara purred nudging Sango.

"Hmm.... What is it Kirara?" Sango said to the fire cat.

Kirara just looked back toward their houses. Then Shippou spoke up, "Muhahaa, foolish InuYasha. You fell into my trap, this poor kitsune is my mind slave, after I deliver this message, you can have him back, and he's useless to me now. By the time you get this message I will be very close to your home and closer to Kaite. You will never make it back in time; this is what you get InuYasha for choosing that stupid miko over the smart one. You can blame yourself for the loss of you son. Maybe the loss of you wife as well...." The voice droned away leaving InuYasha stricken. He looked as if someone slapped him across the face, how could he have been so stupid.

"Brother, breath. I can't hear you breathing." Sesshomaru said leaning closer to his brother. InuYasha gasped for air, he just realized he had been holding his breath. He muttered Kagome and went through flashbacks, about all the old times, it was like in his mind Kagome was already gone.

Flashback....

"No, Kagome don't get closer." Miroku shouted.

Kagome just crept closer toward InuYasha; InuYasha stared at her in amazement ready to strike her in his demon form. She crept closer and InuYasha got frightened. "InuYasha," Kagome whispered, "InuYasha, sit." CLUNK!

InuYasha fell face first into the ground, he looked up into Kagome's eyes and he saw relief. Kagome fell on her knees and hugged InuYasha, "Oh, thank goodness you're okay."

End Flashback...

((Sorry for the really short flashback, but it is only a summary))

InuYasha stared blankly ahead not responding to anything.

"Little brother, maybe we can at least try to get them. Rin and Kagome could hold her off for a short time, so lets hurry, please brother move." Sesshomaru said urgently his voice dripping with worry. He shoved his brother lightly urging him to move his movements becoming panicky. Sesshomaru couldn't bear it anymore; he pulled the Tensaiga from its hilt and struck InuYasha in the face with all his force. ((As you all should no, the Tensaiga cant hurt anything, it only heals, so don't worry, Sesshomaru didn't try to murder his brother. If you didn't know this, shame on you, and you call yourself an InuYasha fan, hmpf!))

InuYasha shook his head wildly and ran off toward the houses. Everyone else hopped on Kirara, Sango carrying the now-sleeping kitsune, they sped behind InuYasha, soon catching up with him. Sango held out her hand to him, he grabbed on. Sesshomaru helped his brother up and they were off.

Meanwhile, back at the houses...

"Mama, are you okay?" Kenji and Kari asked their mother. Rin just nodded smiling, in her heart she grimaced at the thought of Kikyo coming here.

"Aunt Rin? Where's mama?" Mai asked politely.

"She's sleeping upstairs..." Rin said her voice trailing.

"Am I?" Kagome asked.

"MAMA!" Kaite and Mai screamed. The two children ran and hugged Kagome, Kagome hugged back. To Kagome, in her mind, she thought if she let go, her children would disappear. She held them for a few minutes, and then Rin coughed. Rin held out a cup of tea to Kagome. Kagome took it sat down next to her children and drank. The children sat silent for a bit, then Kagome spoke, "Kaite, Mai, children, all of you. Kikyo is coming here and I want to all to hide upstairs, do you understand?" The children nodded and Kagome pulled Kaite close to her, "Mai, take very good care of your brother, watch him." Mai nodded and picked up her brother and she ran upstairs with the other children to hide. Rin was about to speak but Kagome spoke again first, "I need a stronger barrier, give me your hand and your energy, let it flow through your hand into mine." The miko chanted spells and grabbed Rins hand; Rin was concentrating very hard. Suddenly the miko fell down like she got punched, hard. Rin held her hand and pulled her, up the miko kept chanting. More blows, more chanting.

"You can't keep me out forever pitiful miko, you have not enough strength." Kikyo taunted.

Kagome didn't reply, she just kept chanting. What seemed like hours was actually only 5 minutes. Kagome didn't take anymore blows, Rin had run out of energy, and the could hear Kikyo cursing outside, "Damn that miko, how could she alone have enough power to create this barrier?"

"Alone? I think not!" Shouted Rin angrily.

Kikyo taken aback said, "Wench! You were supposed to go with the others."

"Was I? Did I foil your plans? I'm sorry." Rin said sarcastically.

"Rotten bitch." Kikyo muttered.

"What was that?" Rin asked coldly.

"Enough, Rin just be quiet, the stupid miko will go soon. I hope." Kagome whispered.

"Eh? Not a chance miko, SOUL DRAGONS!" Kikyo commanded.

There was a flash of light, Rin picked up her sword and Kagome became a youkai. Kikyo became a ball of light and teleported into the house, "Oh, I hate that, it's such a waste of power." She turned to Rin and Kagome, "Since you got in my way wench you will die first, then you miko, then all your children." She laughed evilly.

"Milady Kikyo!" One of the dragons said dropping a soul into Kikyo's hand.

"Thank you my dragon, Kagome do you know what this is? A soul. It's Naraku's soul, this is what has become of my love."

"Your love?" Kagome asked stunned. Kikyo didn't answer, slowly the soul gained shape, not solid, but a shape, the shape of a white baboon. It glowered at Rin and Kagome.

"Thank you, Kikyo. Now, Kagome, when all of you are dead I'll have enough life energy to come back. Won't that be nice?" Naraku asked smiling.

Kagome shivered with disgust, "InuYasha will come, I know he will."

"Just keep thinking that miko, it'll make your death easier." Kikyo said calmly. "In the mean time lets have a little fun, eh?" Rin said laughing.

"Yes, Rin lets." Kagome added.

"Fine." Naraku and Kikyo said loudly.

Pfwip! An arrow shot at Kikyo before anyone blinked an eye. Rin had picked up Kagome's arrow set. Naraku went through it and Kikyo caught it, the blood dripping down her hands. Another arrow was shot and Kikyo caught it with her other hand. She dropped both arrows, licked her hands clean, and smiled and Rin, her mouth dripping with blood.

While this was going on, Kagome had grabbed the soul dragon and forced it to pick up Naraku's soul again. She took the soul and used her youkai powers and her miko powers to send it to oblivion, but before she could accomplish it, the soul dragon took the soul and dropped it into Kikyo's open hands. Her mouth still dripping with blood she said, "Foolish wench, thinking you could send my love to oblivion. How wrong you were and now you p..." She never finished; Rin had shot an arrow in her back and sliced off her arm. Kikyo fell to the floor wincing in pain, "Damn you bitch, damn you."

I hope you all didn't forget about InuYasha and the gang, cause as this was going on they sped faster toward the houses.

"Kirara, we are almost there good job." Sango soothed.

Kirara mewed softly. "Look, the barrier is still up, do you think she..." Miroku said but trailed off as he heard a loud scream.

"It didn't sound like Rin." Sesshomaru said.

"It didn't sound like Kikyo." Miroku commented.

"KAGOME!!!" InuYasha yelled jumping of Kirara and running toward his house frantically.

((Hey on the brighter side of things, this chapter was longer and the cliffie wasn't so bad. Hehe, I love hearing your reviews. Lolabel.))
