I do not own Inuyasha

I am sorry I haven't updated in a while, I have been REALLY sick and bed ridden and it didn't help my writing to put it gently. I am still sick, but I'm getting better, so, I finished this chapter and am half way done the next one. Once more, I apologize for being a little late with this chapter.

I hope you enjoy this chapter, as for a while, it will be a half in the major action.

***Chapter 11***

Sesshoumaru walked back into his fortress and saw Enfer carrying Kaze over his shoulders. Sesshoumaru just nodded and continued forward.

He went straight to his room and looked over a certain cabinet. He drew out something and then turned around and walked out immediately, his pace was fairly quick.

Kagura sat with her fan open as she saw demons avoiding her, she smirked, most of them knew of her, so the guards generally knew that it was best to avoid her.

For the second time Sesshoumaru had saved her from the clutches of death, she was thinking about that, he had displayed interest with his little 'courting' and, she had to admit was very attractive. Of course, now she was wondering what to do, as a detachment of Naraku, she hadn't really expect anything like this to happen, nor had she been informed about most things involving mating in almost any sense, what she did pick up was from demons who worked from Naraku once or twice, and of course Jaken, Kaze and Enfer, or from humans. But none of them could explain much, as it was supposed to be the parents in youkai society that taught there children of such things, and it was improper to do otherwise.

She sat there continuing to contemplate when she felt a presence behind her. She turned to see Sesshoumaru. "What?" She asked. "I have evaluated the situation, based on what I know now, my previous attraction, and future events I have in mind, you will become my mate," He said. Kagura lurched forward with a cough as he said that, he was incredibly blunt.

"You're a little straight forward aren't you?" She asked. Then the scary part happened, he smiled. She looked at him not knowing what to think. "Yes, I suppose I am, but I think I have picked well in who I will spend my life with, of course this is still up to you," Sesshoumaru said. 'Nor is he very flattering.' Kagura thought. "You have some. err. social contact issues don't you?" She asked. His smile disappeared. "So that is a no?" He asked. "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't," She said with a sharp grin appearing on her face.

"As it stands, I do not have patience with such serious matters," Sesshoumaru said. He reached into his armor and pulled out a long silver chain with a crescent shaped amber jewel that was edged with gold. She gasped. "You may accept this, or you may not, I would like to get this over with," Sesshoumaru said.

She looked at him a moment, not the jewel and walked in front of him, taking it without looking. "You didn't need to bring that," She said smiling. He smiled back and his head moved down and his lips met hers in a passionate kiss, she of course had not too much of an idea how to react to it, so just let it happen. "I will take that as a yes?" He asked as he broke the kiss. She blushed furiously and nodded.

Sesshoumaru lifted her up in a bridal style hold and starting walking down the hall. "Wh-What are you doing?" She asked. "I'm carrying you," He said simply. "Where?" She asked, a slight bit of fear was in her scent. "My room," He said. She felt her heart stop a moment and then speed up. 'She very frightened,' He thought. "Do not worry," He said calmly as he made it to his room, and went inside, shutting the door.

Meanwhile-

Kaze sat on a futon, a dismal expression on his face. "Damn Snake. when I get my legs and arm back, I'll gut him. no wait, I'll cut his throat, and then shove my arm down the wound, and tear out his heart. yes. that's a good enough revenge," Kaze said.

"Excuse me?" Rin asked walking into the room. "What do you want brat?" Kaze asked. "Rin is sorry you're hurt," She said frowning. "Don't sweat it kid, remember I can heal myself right?" Kaze said putting on a fake smile. 'Damn kid,' He thought.

"You look a lot like Sesshoumaru now," She said. "I do, do I?" Kaze said. "Yes, you have the same funny markings he does," Rin stated. Kaze laughed slightly. "Don't worry about that, its nothing," Kaze said.

"Rin wanted to thank you too. Rin forgot to thank you for saving her from the two nasty things and the funny speaking blue man," She said. "He's French Rin," Kaze explained. "French? What's French?" She asked. Kaze internally sighed. "I can't tell you that, it's a type of something," He said. "Does it mean blue?" She asked. "Err, no,"

"Then what is it?" She asked. "Ask him, he'll tell you, trust me," Kaze said smiling and rubbed her head. "Now go on, I'm gonna try to sleep, but you can do me a favor if you want," Kaze said. "What?" She asked. "Wake me up if it starts raining," He said. "Yes Mr. Kaze!" She said smiling and left. "Damn kid," He muttered shutting his eyes.

The next morning-

Sesshoumaru woke up, Kagura's arms wrapped around his waist. He looked down at her a moment and carefully pried her arms off as she continued to sleep. He got out of the bed and quickly god dressed, then walked over to Kagura and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

He left the room and headed directly for where he knew Kaze was.

Kaze was fast asleep, the hour still being early in the morning. He woke up as soon as Sesshoumaru entered the room.

He groaned as he sat up using his good arm. "What is it?" He asked. "Where is Snake going to attack next," Sesshoumaru said. Still groggy Kaze yawned. "I dunno. damn, what do I look like to you, his travel agent?" Kaze asked. "Travel agent?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Ugh, never mind," Kaze said.

"You will tell me," Sesshoumaru then said stepping forward. "Or your injuries will grow in number," He added. "You think you can beat him? Are you crazed," Kaze said looking serious. "I have no choice at this point, I have much to defend," Sesshoumaru said. Kaze looked at him and the new scent hit his strong senses. "Holy shit," He muttered.

Sesshoumaru just looked down at him. "Lord Sesshoumaru, if I could go with you, I would, I mean that." Kaze said looking away. "He will most likely try to retrieve Sango, and he will kill everyone there this time," Kaze continued. "Where?" Sesshoumaru asked. "The village that the miko Kikyo comes from," Kaze said.

"It is near a magical well, that is where he will most likely find them, find Inuyasha, and hide yourself, then when Snake arrives, you can do battle, he will in a few days, as soon as his injuries are healed," Kaze admitted.

Sesshoumaru nodded and turned his head to him. "Take care of yourself," He then said and left. Kaze looked down feeling guilt for telling Sesshoumaru, because he had no doubt that Snake was going to kill everyone.

Sesshoumaru moved past Jaken who began to follow his master. "Where is Enfer?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Err. Lord Sesshoumaru, I don't think Enfer wants to be bothered at this current." Jaken was cut off. "WHERE," Sesshoumaru insisted. "Follow me my lord," Jaken said.

Sesshoumaru came to the guest room and opened the door, he was greeted by quite the sight, Enfer, lying in bed with a fairly attractive female dog youkai, though she looked to be most likely half wolf youkai, he couldn't tell with her eyes shut. 'A mongrel,' He thought. "Enfer!" He shouted. Enfer shot up and the woman next to him slowly got up rubbing her eyes.

"Where am I?" She asked. "Who are you?" Enfer asked looking at her, disgust began to rise in Sesshoumaru. Enfer rubbed his neck and pulled away showing blood. "Fucking hell," He muttered in French. She looked at him with fear filled eyes and put her hand on her neck and also revealed a similar situation to him. "ENFER!" Sesshoumaru shouted. "Yes my lord!" Enfer said turning to him. "Get dressed, we are leaving," Sesshoumaru said, even his emotionless mask couldn't hide the disgust on his face. "Of course my lord," Enfer said. Sesshoumaru left the room and shut the door.

"Y-you work for Lord Sesshoumaru?" The female asked. "Y-yes," Enfer replied. Her face brightened. "My parents are going to be SO proud! I am mated to someone who works PERSONALLY with Lord Sesshoumaru!" She said with a bright smile on her face. "Now hold on." He was cut off. "I can't wait to tell them, oh my sister is gonna be SO jealous, and your not half bad looking either, well, you do talk kinda funny, but that's the only down side I can see! I can't believe my luck!" She said smiling.

Enfer was really starting to wish he hadn't gotten so drunk the night before with the guards of the fortress. He looked on the bright side, at least she was attractive, then he looked on the down side, they didn't even know one another's names, yet they where supposed to live the rest of there lives together. and for youkai, that's normally until you are murdered.

Enfer rushed out the door 6 minutes later breathing heavily; he was now in his armor though. "I-I apologize my lord," Enfer said looking flushed. "You haven't even been here a week and you've taken a mate?" Sesshoumaru said with disgust. "S-sire, it's not what you think, the guards must have spiked my drink last night, I swear," Enfer said stepping back. "Indeed," Sesshoumaru said.

"Come, we are leaving," Sesshoumaru said. "Where?" Enfer asked. "Just follow," Sesshoumaru ordered. "Jaken, take care of Rin, and do whatever Kagura says," Sesshoumaru said. "Yes Lord Sesshoumaru!" Jaken squawked, and with that, both Enfer and Sesshoumaru where gone. "Kagura?" Then Jaken asked himself.

Jaken immediately went to see where Kagura was. He looked in her room and found she was not there. Jaken decided to use his sensitive sense of smell to sniff Kagura out.

He stopped in front of his Lord's room. 'No. anything but this,' Jaken thought. He opened the door to see Kagura sleeping, most certainly naked, under the covers of his bed of course, but Jaken knew she wasn't wearing anything. Jaken shut the door. "Why is my life so bad? I try to be a good servant to my lord." He muttered to himself in self pity.

Kagura's eyes slowly slid open, 'Naturally he wouldn't be here,' She thought, immediately noting the lack of warmth. She rolled over and immediately felt the aches in her body. 'Oh well, I've been through worse,' She thought and rolled off of the bed, and couldn't get her foot. and fell straight to the floor.

She chuckled slightly over the event. With a groan she stood up as fast as she could, which wasn't all that fast. She was about to get dressed when she found her cloths have been torn beyond wear. 'Damn it Sesshoumaru,' She thought bitterly.

Kagura heard a knock on the door and got into the bed and covered herself. "Lady Kagura?" Jaken squawked. She blinked, he knew she was here? "What?" She asked. "Do you need anything at all my lady?" Jaken asked.

Kagura looked a bit stunned, not many asked that. "I'd like a bath and some new cloths," She said silently. "What?" Jaken asked through the door. "I would like a bad and some new cloths," She repeated with more force. "Very well my lady!" Jaken said in his annoying voice.

Kagura sat back against the headboard and felt a slight bit awkward, but she could definitely get used to being served on for once.

Rin ran over to the relaxing Kaze. "Will you play with Rin?" She asked. "Kid, I only have one able body limb, how the hell am I supposed to play with you?" Kaze asked. Rin looked sad at his harsh answer and tears began to well in her eyes.

"No. NO! Don't cry, Damnit kid, you'll get me killed, don't cry!" Kaze demanded. A few salty tears fell from Rin's eyes. "Stop crying, do whatever you want, I'll play with you as best I can, just don't cry," Kaze offered. Immediately the tears disappeared and Rin's broad smile was apparent with her happy eyes. "Thank you Kaze!" She said smiling. 'Manipulative little shit,' Kaze thought.

Kaede's village-

Snake watched Inuyasha come back with Kagome. 'Excellent,' Snake thought.

Inuyasha knew something was up and had his senses ready.

Miroku sat in a meditative stance in front of the village road, just looking ahead. Kirara was with Sango as she cleaned her new sword and Shippou was helping her, Sango had yet to remake her more potent weapon.

Snake grinned as Kagome and Inuyasha walked past Miroku. 'Now,' He thought.

Miroku jumped to his feet and his demon hand pointed out, firing a red beam of power from each finger. Snake jumped from his hiding place as it exploded behind him. He growled as he landed on the grass in front of the village near the stream.

Inuyasha sniffed the air, he immediately recognized it to the one that had been on Sango when they where reunited with her.

"So, the leader finally shows himself," Inuyasha spat. Snake just gave a sly smirk and put the back of his left hand on the side of his hip.

"I guess when you run out of men, even the cowards have to come out and fight," Miroku shot. Kagome was already preparing her bow and Sango walked up behind her, ready for battle with Kirara and Shippou, though Shippou was hiding.

Kaede watched from the back of the village with the village warriors, they where just watching at this point.

"Sango, as beautiful as ever I see," Snake said. "Are we going to do this or not?" Inuyasha snapped. Snake drew his sword and got to his battle position. "Come on Uncle Inuyasha, try and cut me with that worthless piece of steel you have," Snake said.

Inuyasha drew and transformed Tetsusaiga. 'No way!' Snake's mind roared. "I'll take my birthright from your body I suppose," Snake said. "Feh, just try it," Inuyasha spat.

Inuyasha swung his blade forward creating an energy rift that shot towards Snake, with amazing speed Snake dodged and rushed at the group.

Kagome fired a purity arrow but Snake seemed to faze out of view with speed as soon as it launched, before Inuyasha could properly guard himself Snake's own fang sliced down at Inuyasha. The hanyou barely blocked but it still cut his shoulder slightly. Snake attacked twice more, sparks of raw power coming off the two blades as they hit. Miroku turned quickly to attack with his staff but Snake had already jumped back.

Miroku pointed his hand forward and a line of power along the ground tore towards Snake. Sune-Ku easily moved aside and swiped his blade down, creating an energy rift.

The group scattered and Snake appeared next to Miroku and attacked, Miroku brought his staff up just in time. Snake snarled and headbutted Miroku, sending him back and falling into the village stream.

Inuyasha roared as he attacked from the side with Sango, putting Snake on the defensive.

Snake blocked the swords that where slashing at him with a smirk and then cut Sango's in half, following by tripping Inuyasha and slashing him across the chest, blood poured from the wound.

Snake forcefully grabbed Sango's arm with his free hand and brought her into a deep kiss. He then pushed her back. "I've missed that taste," He said with a seductive smirk. Sango cried out in a rage and punched at him, but he was already rolling back to a safe distance.

"HIT!" He heard from the side, another arrow from Kagome fired away. He slashed it away with Tetsrigia. It was too close, the sword barely deflected her arrow, and he didn't like that. "You BITCH," He snarled and pointed his blade at her. A huge energy beam of raw red power blasted towards the now frightened Kagome. "KAGOME!" Inuyasha cried getting to his feet but it seemed too late already.

The smoke cleared from where the huge crater now was from the blast and Snake looked disbelieving. "Wh-Where is the body?" He asked himself. "She couldn't be that fast. no one is faster then me!" Snake shouted.

He then heard something south of him and turned, still stunned. "YOU BASTARD!" He heard from the trees as he heard what sounded like a tornado, trees falling down in the path of the sound. Finally a blur blasted through the woods and in a blur of movement and a flash of pink energy a painful drop kick landed on the side of Snake's cheek.

Snake's entire face warped with the hit and he was send fifty feet into the air and traveled a good seventy until he landed in the distance with a sudden *BANG* as he hit a tree in some woods north of them.

Inuyasha was shocked. "Kouga," He growled out. Miroku was back up and Sango didn't know what to do yet with no weapon.

"That dog shit tried to hurt my woman, I'll kill him!" Kouga shouted. Kagome came out of the trees that where in Kouga's path of destruction and looked puzzled. "Thank you Kouga!" She shouted and got her bow ready. Kouga had a grin on his face to Inuyasha that said 'I got her affection, nener nener neeeener'

Kouga and Inuyasha turned to where Snake had landed as they saw a massive explosion blast into the sky. "AGGGH!!! WOLF!!! I'M GOING TO TEAR YOUR HEART OUT OF YOUR ASS!" Snake shouted at the top of his lungs.

Snake was rushing forward at blinding speed when he froze, two arms where locked around his waist, Kouken. "What?!" He snapped, now extremely angry. He turned his hand to Kouken. "I'm going to stop you, even if it's only for a few moments," Kouken declared and pulled back into a devastating German Suplex, landing Snake right on his head with it.

Kouken got up first and rushed to the others, turning around to face Snake as he got up rubbing his head. "Why you little shit," Snake hissed.

"You think you can win? We're not done yet. You haven't seen anything!" Sune-Ku shouted. "I defeated Sesshoumaru, Kagura and Kaze, what chance do you think you have against me?!" Snake declared, he was obviously outraged that these people had hurt him.

"Sesshoumaru, Kagura and Kaze?" Sango said with a shocked face. Inuyasha and the others also looked rather stunned by the news.

"This Sesshoumaru will not be defeated so easily," Was announced behind Snake. Snake's head dropped slightly, this just wasn't his day.

A blue beam of power was shot at him from behind and Snake phased away. He turned around to see Enfer pointing his sword where he had been before. Sesshoumaru drew Toukijin and turned to Enfer. "You will not leave this place alive," He stated.

"None of you have any idea who you're up against," Snake said with a low chuckle.

"Well? Are you all going to stand there or are you going to fight? Show me which one of you cowards is the bravest!" Snake shouted.

Enfer and Inuyasha stood opposite of Snake and at the same moment charged, the three began to slash and parry each other's blows. Snake in one swift movement disarmed both Enfer and Inuyasha, and then ran Enfer through and back slashed Inuyasha across the face with his clawed fingers.

Inuyasha flew back from the powerful slap like hit while Enfer went back holding his wound.

Kagome fired another ill fated purity arrow and Miroku slashed his hand at Snake, creating five small rippling energy waves. Snake was slashed by one of the cutting fields but dodged Kagome's arrow.

Sesshoumaru was now on the attack, with elegance in his strikes, slashing down on Snake who struggled to parry his father. Snake then did the same he did to Inuyasha and Enfer and that is he disarmed Sesshoumaru, everyone watched in shock as the cursed sword was knocked from the Western Lord's hand.

Snake was about to strike but Sesshoumaru dodged the blow and landed beside Tetsusaiga. Immediately Miroku, Sango and Kagome knew what was to happen and flew.

"Well, what now old man?" Snake asked. Inuyasha got up and saw Sesshoumaru standing next to his sword. 'SHIT!' He thought and ran from the area, Enfer had already moved away as quickly as he could and Kouken didn't understand, but followed Kagome, Sango and Miroku.

Sesshoumaru grabbed the sword as it burned his hand with crackling electricity. 'Help me Tetsusaiga as you have done before, I need your strength,' Sesshoumaru thought. He drew the sword from the ground and it transformed.

"Hah, how do you intend to kill me with that? I had no idea it had a barrier, you'll lose you hand before you kill me," Snake said. Sesshoumaru waved the sword forward and a massive wave of power shot out. "NO WAY!" Snake shouted.

He pulled up Tetsrigia and an energy field formed around him. A massive explosion that nearly blinded everyone in a flash happened and Kagome was the first to look up.

Snake stood there smirking. "Hah, so, my sword is far better then anything that mongrel Inuyasha uses, even if it is my grandfather's," Snake declared and was about to strike back with his own blade, when Tetsrigia turned to dust.

"NO!" He shouted. Sesshoumaru dropped Tetsusaiga and looked at his burnt hand. "DAMN YOU!" Snake shouted.

He was about to charge when an arrow hit his armor, it slowly burned into the armor and Snake's armor shattered. He jumped away and looked down at his now bare chest, showing his snake tattoo. "How can that girl be so strong?" He asked himself. He then looked at Sango. 'I won't lose. I have to win,' He thought.

"This has been fun. but its time for you all to die," Snake stated. Everyone looked spectacle.

Snake flew into the air and put his hand above his head, a small orb of black energy formed and he started to chant. Sesshoumaru looked shocked as the very sky started to darken.

Inuyasha rushed over and grabbed Tetsusaiga off the ground. "What are we going to do? I can feel his aura, it's insanely huge," Miroku said. "We have to try, I'm not about to give up!" Kagome said.

"This time you lose," Snake said with a grin and tossed the now massive energy ball down. Inuyasha looked at Kagome who nodded.

He rushed forward and swung with all his might. "BAKURYUHA!" Inuyasha shouted and swung his father's fang. The swirl of golden wind like energy shot out and clashed into the huge black orb of power.

Kagome then fired an arrow that combined with Inuyasha's attack, but it wasn't enough. "WHAT?!" Everyone cried, save Sesshoumaru. "Now then, you'll all die!" Snake shouted.

Everyone watched in horror as the combined attack began to lose as Snake laughed. The sound of a purity arrow was heard and everyone looked up to see Snake's abdomen with a large hole in it. Snake coughed up blood a moment and turned his head. "Who?" He rasped. Kikyo stood at the edge of the trees holding her bow. He turned his head to see her, taking his concentration off his attack. "You bitch," He said, his voice strained.

The orb of power was shattered with Snake's loss of power and concentration and he turned down to see his fate, he looked like a deer in front of the headlights.

The Bakuryuha surrounded him completely and Snake cried out in pain. Then Kagome's arrow shot through his chest above Kikyo's wound.

Snake fought as long as he could but he finally cried out and a massive explosion blasted through the air. As the light dimmed the charred body hit the ground, dead.

I also would like to dedicate this chapter to my friend Austin, who was in a very unfortunate car accident, which will most likely land him in jail, or paying 10 grand, of money he does not have.
