Italics Thoughts


On a cliff not too far away a spectator observed the scene detachedly. His form bathed in moonlight as he watched it all with a cold amusement, the white fur that adorned him blowing softly in the night air. It was horridly pathetic, one of the reasons that made him glad to be a demon. He had no such time or need for that matter to have such silly attachments. "Humans" he spat distastefully, that word left a sour taste in his mouth. They were so weak, so easily corrupted, why just look at the boy, taken over completely by one tainted shard of the Shikon no Tama. As for that girl, the female demon slayer; she'd die, her pain and suffering would not end with the death of her brother; it'd continue. The demons of this world were not finished with her. And oddly enough, though he should not care he was compelled to stay and watch it play out.


Appearing beside Kohaku, Naraku stood above him gazing down at his puppet with what one who didn't know Naraku would perceive as pity, it was more like malice. "So Kohaku you'll not pass from this world without your sister." It was more of a statement than a question.

"Fine." A jewel shard shot from his fingers like a bullet piercing Kohaku in his neck. "Now, rise and slay the last of your kin."

Sango's mind was completely aware it was only that her body refused to listen. From the neck down she couldn't move, maybe Kagura was right in her assumption that she'd die tonight no longer could she protect herself or Kohaku. It'd be a wonderful time for Inuyasha and the gang to show up; but no the barrier would keep them out and there was no telling if Kagome could break through this barrier with her sacred arrows. It would no doubt be stronger than the last. Huh that's odd, Kagura's leaving, she wouldn't leave because of nothing, did another demon scare her off or did my friends able to get through the barrier. She could only hope.

It wasn't long before she began to hear footsteps and they were heading straight for her.

"Kohaku how are you?" Sango eyes were locked on his face; she recognized that blank stare he was being controlled again. How ironic that the thing she feared most would be the thing to eventually kill her. Once again her brother was out of her reach, and now he was poised and ready to strike her down. It was unlike her to accept death so willingly; however, unless she was planning on catching the sickle with her teeth, which only would've been a convenient way to get her mouth sliced open. There were no options left to her.

In what seemed to be her last moments the reality of what was happening hit her full force and silent tears, unbidden rolled down her cheeks. She lifted her head till she was staring straight into those blank eyes. "I love you little brother," were the last words uttered from her lips when she closed her eyes and his hand fell.

But the awaited blow was never received. She opened her eyes to find Kohaku struggling with himself; he was fighting it. "So Kohaku once again you choose to disobey me," Naraku appeared into Sango's line of vision annoyance written across his face "Well then I'll give you one last chance Kohaku or I'll send you both to hell together. Again his weapon rose high in the air this time he placed it against his own neck where the jewel shard resided. "So you'd rather take your own life than your sisters. Kohaku, you'd make your sister watch as you kill yourself?" Naraku asked.

This is where Kohaku hesitated right before deciding to attack Naraku with his weapon instead. "This is for everyone that was hurt because of me," were the last words he shouted. For he was quick, but Naraku was quicker and none could blink before Naraku had disabled his attack and brought down Kohaku and Sango: killing them both instantly.

The jewel shard could no longer help Kohaku; Naraku had broken his neck to retrieve it. He held the jewel shard now in his hand admiring it's taint. He mused briefly that humans were more willful than he first imagined, well that was an experiment for another day. As he prepared to leave he was shot with an arrow destroying him instantaneously, but no it wasn't the real Naraku, only another demon puppet.

A cold chill swept through the valley, the dead tree's swayed in the night breeze, the moon had risen high and the silhouette of a young female could be seen. Soft footsteps crushed the earth and a slender female hand picked up the tainted jewel shard purifying it under her touch.


The five friends surrounded the two deceased slayers kneeling by their sides. But no one spoke; no one had the voice to, all except Kilala who whined pitifully as she continued to nuzzle the dead siblings.

Poor Sango and Kohaku

We were too late

This can't be

Why'd this have to happen?

All this because of those jewel shards

Sango I'll avenge your death

How could we have let this happen?

We were too late

This can't be

This is Naraku's fault!

It's all Naraku's fault!

Naraku's fault!

Naraku's fault!

Naraku's fault!

Damn Naraku!

Damn him!

Damn him!

Damn him!

Damn You To Hell Naraku!

Shippo was the first to break the silence. "Poor Sango and Kohaku, this was all just a trap to get rid of them." Shippo choked out more tears rubbing his eyes fiercely before burying himself in Kagome's lap.

Inuyasha now stood head hanging low his gaze hidden; he was completely statuesque all except for his fists that shook violently. Suddenly, in all his fury he unsheathed the Tetsusaiga and unleashed Wind-Scar after Wind-Scar after Wind-Scar, not stopping till he had completely leveled the mountains.

Kagome's eyes were shut tight as the dirt finally settled, Shippo still in arms she turned to him. "Inuyasha..ahh," Kagome gasped, the look in his eyes were so pained. But he wasn't looking at her, he was looking at straight at Miroku. She finally regarded her monk friend and that is when her chest grew tight. Their kneeled Miroku, tightly grasping the open palm of Sango's pale and lifeless hand, putting Shippo down she gently placed two hands on his shoulders. "Oh Miroku," she cried softly. How could I've possibly forgotten, Sango was all our friends, but Miroku was in love with her this must be hurting him worst of all.

"Miroku we won't let Naraku get away with this; not this. Sango and her brother will be avenged." Inuyasha was practically yelling at Miroku trying to get him back to himself, he knew he was hurting, but even Inuyasha couldn't bear to see him like this.

Miroku let go of her hand and turned to face Inuyasha. "That's right he won't get away with this, but first we must say a prayer and lay their bodies to rest back at the demon slayers village." A new purpose was born in him in that moment, yet another reason to take down that vile demon known as Naraku. Likewise, a new level of understanding was shared between these men; a common bond. Now they had both lost someone they cared for deeply to Naraku, and Miroku had never known how that had felt; till now.

Kilala who remained next to the siblings whining softly, now tensed and growled at the new arrival that now approached. She transformed growling fiercely, standing protectively over the two siblings. This person was very familiar, and they were never welcome.

"Sesshomaru! What the hell are you doing here," Inuyasha yelled. Of all the things they needed right now he definitely wasn't one of them. "Your not exactly welcome you know."

"Inuyasha, did I come at a bad time?" He inquired casting a vaguely interested glance at his brother's fallen comrades.

"Anytime you come is a bad time, but if you came here looking for a fight, you found one!" He yelled unsheathing the Tetsusaiga. Sesshomaru had no business being there and he was going to make sure he left.

"What's wrong Inuyasha? Why so needlessly provoked?" He paused briefly answering his own question. "Ah yes, that's right you're all still mourning over your friends deaths, personally I think you were all foolish to be so attached to them. I'm actually surprised that you're shocked by their deaths. What did you think would happen to one who made a profession out of hunting a demon such as Naraku. Its amazing she lived as long as she did, but considering Naraku's tastes, playing with people, especially humans was his favorite thing to do."

Right about now Miroku was feeling the same way Inuyasha was; still it wasn't adding up to him. It made no sense for Sesshomaru to be there, he never came in contact with them unless it served a purpose; one that only he himself benefited from, and whatever it was it usually involved fighting Inuyasha. However, that's what was bothering him Sesshomaru didn't seem like he wanted to fight Inuyasha; which was a mystery in itself. No, Sesshomaru was intentionally beating around the bush and he never did that. Plus, why was he talking about Sango and Kohaku. Could it be? Did Sesshomaru actually see what happened to Sango and her brother? Even so, that still doesn't give him a reason to be here. What does he want?

Their anger amused him, which slightly took away from the fact that he'd rather not and shouldn't for that matter be there. Damn it, they were making him soft. It was time to get this over with, though any opportunity to play with Inuyasha's head was too good to pass up. "This is why you're all so pathetic, you should know by now that as easily as these humans are brought in this world, they're even more easily taken out. Much like the priestess Kikyo and your human mother, Inuyasha, both of their lives where short-lived.

In that second Inuyasha's grip on the Tetsusaiga got that much tighter. "How dare.. how dare you say something like that to me," he spat. Inuyasha's overconfident smirk had now found its way to his face again. "By the way to answer your previous question. Just looking at you provokes me!" Inuyasha yelled going straight into a jump-strike. In mid-air Inuyasha could see that Sesshomaru had taken out his sword, not until the very last second, which is when he recognized what sword it was did he back off.

Tensaiga.

He had taken out Tensaiga.

That was the second to last straw on the camels back because Inuyasha's pissed-off o meter was near borderline. That bastard! I can't believe he'd hold that over my head. As long as he has that sword I can never fatally wound him. Then out of nowhere a new thought popped into Inuyasha's head, one that he had difficulty excepting because it'd mean that Sesshomaru had some form of compassion. Wait! All he has to do is wear the Tensaiga and it would protect him. So.. so why did he unsheathe the sword?

Sesshomaru had also taken out his golden whip and lashed at Kilala, striking her out of the way. "There is no strength in friendship, everyone is alone in this world and there is no goodness in it." The blade that does not cut was struck at the siblings, bringing color and life back to their bodies. "There are only the powerful and the weak that they prey on." With that, Sesshomaru gave them his back and walked away.

Kagome who had been silent throughout the entire ordeal, finally said something to him. "Wait, Sesshomaru!"

He stopped mid-stride to listen to her. "Well? What is it?"

"I just wanted to say Th--"

"-Be silent," he said not even turning his head to acknowledge her. "Never speak to me of this again, I only wish to forget my momentary lapse in sanity, but if you must thank someone thank the girl, she spared your friends lives; not I." Instantly a cloud of crimson appeared beneath his feet and he strode off across the horizon, disappearing in the morning mists, daybreak fast approaching.


Everything was silent, everything excluding the voices that discussed quietly outside. Sango yawned softly, the pleasant sensation of the sun warming her face had awoken her. Taking in her surroundings she surprisingly found herself in Kaede's hut. How on earth did I get here? I remember Kohaku dying along with myself at the hands of Naraku, was it all just a dream? A loud crash could be heard outside; however, her curiosity wasn't aroused. Why would it be? After all, anyone who's known her friends as long as she has, would be able to recognize the sound of Inuyasha getting sat.

Direct sunlight now shined at her forcing her to cover her eyes as a person entered the hut. Eyes now refocused, she found tears like waterfalls were coming down her cheeks. There stood Kohaku, Kilala in arms mewling happily as she nuzzled him.

Kohaku fell to his knees in front of her. "I'm sorry, please don't cry. I'm better now Sango and the jewel shard is gone so I won't be under his control anymore." He said all this while looking towards the floor. "So please, please don't cry. I promise," he lifted his gaze until he was staring straight in her eyes. "I promise I won't ever turn my back on you again!" This only made her tears fall faster.

She lunged at her brother and held him tightly. "Oh, Kohaku," she cried. I don't know if this is a dream or not, all I know is I don't ever wanna wake up.


Author's Note: Well there it is the happier ending I hope you enjoyed it r/r please.

And yes I know once the Tensaiga's used on you you're supposed to immediately revive but hey that didn't exactly suit my purposes, so let's just say she took a needed rest.

Oh yeah and the "they" Sesshomaru was referring to was Rin-well obviously-and Tensaiga.

And I just have to ask. Could anyone tell that, that was Sesshomaru on that cliff? I mean not now, but since chapter one. Because I described the person with having white fur I think most people assumed it was Naraku. Actually that's the reason I put it there, though if you read the last sentence in that paragraph you should be able to tell that it wasn't Naraku.

Below is what I guess you'd call a "deleted scene" this is the part where Rin asks Sesshomaru to save them. Well I wasn't going to put it in the above part because it would've ruined my alternate ending. I didn't want you to know that Sesshomaru was there to save them. But smart as my reviewer's are I'm sure you saw straight through that.

Right?

Anyway here it is.


On a cliff not too far away a spectator observed the scene detachedly. His form bathed in moonlight as he watched it all with a cold amusement, the white fur that adorned him blowing softly in the night air. It was horridly pathetic, one of the reasons that made him glad to be a demon. He had no such time or need for that matter to have such silly attachments. "Humans" he spat distastefully, that word left a sour taste in his mouth. They were so weak, so easily corrupted, why just look at the boy, taken over completely by one tainted shard of the Shikon no Tama. As for that girl, the female demon slayer; she'd die, her pain and suffering would not end with the death of her brother; it'd continue. The demons of this world were not finished with her. And oddly enough, though he should not care he was compelled to stay and watch it play out. His attention turned beside him as he felt a small tug on his pants. "Yes, Rin?"

"Lord Sesshomaru," she looked up at him with those big innocent eyes. "Because of you I'm not lonely anymore. She needs her brother, please don't let her be lonely." Rin implored to Sesshomaru. "You can use your sword, the same one that saved me."

Sesshomaru just gave her his back. "I'm well aware of what my Tensaiga is capable of, Rin"

Now Rin eyes shimmered with admiration as she looked up at him. "Thank you my lord," she said smiling.

"I'd never said I was going to do anything, Rin."

Rin just shook her head. "But, you never said you weren't either and that means you will." She told him matter-of-factly.

"Humph," he looked back straight ahead. Turning to his right he regarded his vassal who was actually keeping his mouth closed. "Jaken, I commend you on being able to keep that mouth of yours shut for so long. Now make sure Rin gets back down safely. And Rin make sure you feed Ah and Un." He ordered.

They both bowed respectfully. "Yes, my lord."

"Come on let's go Rin," he looked only to see Rin going ahead without him. "Ahh get back here girl, how can I make sure you get down safely if you go ahead of me." Jaken let out a long- suffering sigh and shook his head. "I don't even know why I bother, that girl never listens to me anyway."


Ok, so that was the deleted scene.

I'm thinking about writing an Inu-Yasha fic that isn't a one-shot/alt end. But I'm too lazy to do a series. Regrettably one of my many faults, anyhow if or when I do right it will be Sess/Kag romance. I actually have one in mind for Shippo too but once again too lazy.
