The rest of the group was still not certain exactly what it was that Jaken was so mad about. But the only one who seemed overly concerned was Rin.

"Sesshoumaru sama, what is it that you think Master Jaken is so upset over?" The girl asked from atop Ah and Un.

"I suppose he is concerned that my attention is a bit too distracted." He answered, glancing over at Kanai.

The semi peacefulness was abruptly ended when they saw Jaken running toward them as fast as his short legs could carry him, screaming "Lord Sesshoumaru! Lord Sesshoumaru!" and trying to use his staph to fry the hoard of Hell Wasps perusing him.
Once again Sesshoumaru was caught completely off guard, as was Kanai.

"This wind bitch is getting really annoying!" She yelled.

"What do you mean?" Sesshoumaru asked as he motioned for the beast to take Rin to safety.

"Normally one of us would have smelt those damn insects, which if I am correct are Naraku's Hell Wasps."

"Kagura must be near with that powder of hers" he finished for her.

The two of them made short work of the wasps, but there was something else amiss...

Jaken had gone with Ah, Rin, and Un. His panic was beginning to subside when he noticed something. Actually, Rin pointed it out. The forest was on fire, probably doe to Jaken's torching of everything. At this point the actual cause of the fire was irrelevant though. What was relevant was the fact that they were surrounded by flames, and they were closing in fast.

Kanai and Sesshoumaru were also surrounded by flames at this point, but Sesshoumaru, using his strange mist was able to float above them.

"I am going to search for Rin and Jaken." Sesshoumaru said.

He was gone before she could respond, and there was something unfamiliar in his tone, it almost sounded like urgency. And what was even more peculiar was that Sesshoumaru had left Toukijin jammed in a stone.

"I never even saw him draw it" Kanai thought.

The flames were closing in fast and Jaken was frantic. "Dammit all!" He shouted. He was using his staph to spout water and extinguish the fires nearest him. Rin all of a sudden got an idea.

"Master Jaken" she yelled, her voice indicating she was on the brink of tears. "We can escape on Ah and Un."

"Of course!" The toadish thought.

The two of them climbed on the beast.

Kanai was now alone, surrounded by flames, and wielding Sesshoumaru's sword Toukijin. She was still confused as to how she had acquired it, but found she could extinguish the flames by swinging the sword through them. The hanyou wasn't too greatly concerned with the fire. What was bothering her was the fact that she was alone, and that she could feel in her bones that this had all been planned, thus was being monitored. Then she saw it, a tall orkish demon with long gnarly clawed fingers, and equally long pointed ears that were pierced many times. Flames exited its nostrils as it exhaled.

"That must be what caused the fire." She thought.

As this demon stepped toward her, it left glass footprints, where the earth beneath it would melt upon contact with the demon's skin. The last thing Kanai noticed about this fiery demon was a spider-shaped burn scar on its back. By now it was about four yards from her, and she decided that swiping at it would accomplish nothing but getting her burnt. So she raised Toukijin and violently swung it at the demon, but to no avail. The one time she actually did come close to striking the lightning fast demon, a wave of flames was let loose that actually forced the sword backswords.
Kanai was certain of it now. This whole thing had been set up, and she was now alone to fight this creature. Something else was bothering the hanyou. Why would a demon that emits fire, and seems imperviable to extreme heat have a burn scar on it's back?
The demon suddenly went on the offensive. Not only could it manipulate the flames in its surroundings, but it could also call forth more from the air. It was all Kanai could do to bring Toukijin up and extinguish them before she was incinerated. She maintained a defensive stance as she dodged the flames and blows being thrown at her.

The forest was still in flames, but the hanyou was now standing on a rock in the middle of the river. The demon was on the bank staring at her with an evil grin, exposing it's long pointed k-9s. Now Kanai was calm. She was analyzing the tactics of the demon. She thought she had figured out a way to defeat it. If Kanai could lure it into the water, than perhaps its control over the flames would diminish. She recalled Jaken's tale of how the smith Kaijinbou was destroyed by Toukijin's evil ora. Her hope was that this flame demon would be drawn to this evil.
Sure enough, the demon of flames took a step into the water toward Toukijin, which was now jammed into the stone Kanai was standing upon. The moment the demon's foot touched the water, an explosion of steam erupted into air and the moisture solidified the demon's flesh. Kanai took the first opportunity to utterly destroy it.
The moment the Toukijin struck the demon's body, the whole thing collapsed into ashes and all the flames around Kanai simply ceased to burn. She could smell Sesshoumaru and the others approaching, and she was dying to question him on why he had left his sword behind.

But she instead asked "Sesshoumaru, did you find Kagura?"

"Yes." He answered as Ah and Un landed "we had a few words, and she fled like a coward.

"I see... may I inquire as to what words you had?"

"No, I am in no mood for an interrogation, and we must be going, quickly" was the only answer he gave.

Kanai tried to get a description of what was going on from Jaken, but all she got was an insult and a cold shoulder.
