This is going to be the chapter where the fighting happens, where everyone comes together, where... where... where... am I? Who are you people? Who am I? Oh crap, I've finally lost my mind! Ahhh!

Chapter 11: Preparation

"Kaminari, I assume?" Sesshomaru stood before the beautiful woman, waiting for her to make a move.

"Lord Sesshomaru. My sister's mate, so this is what you look like. You are quite cute." Kaminari said as she walked up to him and pressed herself against him.

"Kaminari!" Kagura screamed at her as she pulled her away from Sesshomaru. "I will allow you to stay here, but if you come near him again, I will be by far worse than Naraku ever could be." Kagura warned her.

"It will not happen again." Kaminari said as she turned to leave.

"Mother?" a young girl walked in, followed by another young girl and boy.

"Yes, Tsuta?" Kagura asked the girl. She had long, shiny silver hair and red eyes. In the center of her forehead was a purple moon.

"Kaze and Kage were outside playing. I told them to come inside, but they refused to listen. I cannot find Rin anywhere." Tsuta told her mother.

"Rin is missing? She was to stay with the twins, where could she have run off too?" Kagura wondered.

"Father? Where are you going?" Tsuta asked Sesshomaru as he turned to leave.

"I want you to come with me to find Rin, Tsuta." he told her.

"Yes father." Tsuta said as she followed Sesshomaru out of the castle. Kagura rubbed her belly and wished that they would return. Then she noticed Kaminari was heading for the doors.

"Where are you going?" she asked her.

"They are going to run into Naraku, and I will be the one to take his life." Kaminari told her.

"I am going with you." Kagura said as she picked up her fan.

"What of your children?" Kaminari asked.

"Mother, Kagura is here!" Ketsuzen yelled at her as he ran towards the hut.

"Kagura, What do you want?" Kagome asked as she walked out of her hut, carrying Inochi. Sango, Yume, and Ivory were right behind her.

"I have a favor to ask. Rin has gone missing and Lord Sesshomaru and our eldest daughter have gone to look for her. I am worried that they will meet with Naraku and I want to go look for them. But I cannot take my two children with me. Can you keep them with you?" Kagura asked Kagome as Kaze and Kage stepped forward.

"Kagura, what are you doing here?" Kibou yelled as he ran up to the hut. He had just returned from a hunt and was surprised to see her there.

"Kibou, Stop it!" Sango yelled at her son.

"I will watch them for you." Kagome agreed. Kagura thanked her and then bent down to say goodbye to her twins.

"Mother... I wish to go with her." Yume told Sango.

"You want to go and helped Kagura?" Sango asked. Yume nodded.

"Kagura, may I accompany you?" Yume asked.

"Do as you wish." she said.

"Then I am going too." Kibou said as he ran after the woman.

Elsewhere Iyasu was looking for her mate. "I wonder where Kyou is?" she asked herself. Kyou had been silent and distant ever since his mother was killed. Just after her death, Kyou came back. He never told anyone where he was, but Iyasu had her suspicions. "Kyou?" Iyasu pushed some branches out of her way as she walked towards the lake.

"Iyasu, what are you doing out here? It's late, you should be in bed." Kyou ran to her and helped her sit down. Months had past and Iyasu was not seven months pregnant.

"I'm fine. What are you doing out here?" she asked him.

"I was just thinking. Come on, I'll take you back to the castle." Kyou said as she helped her up.

"Megami, there is a message for you." a wolf youkai ran into the great hall and handed her the message.

"It is from Naraku." Megami said as she opened it and read it.

"Naraku, what does he want?" Kouga asked her.

"It is private." Megami said as she grabbed her katana and headed for the door.

"Sumire, follow her and let me know if anything happens." Kouga told his daughter.

"Yes father." Sumire said as she ran after Megami. As Sumire ran out the door, Iyasu and Kyou were coming in.

"Iyasu, Kyou, where have the two of you been?" Kouga asked.

"Sorry father. Iyasu, I have to leave you here. Please don't leave. Stay here, where it's safe." Kyou kissed her softly, then turned and ran out of the castle.

"Kyou, wait!" Iyasu began to run after him, but Kouga stopped her.

"Kyou needs to do this alone. You must stay here." Kouga told her. Iyasu's eyes began to tear up as she got the feeling that something horrible was going to happen.

Inu-Yasha was trying his best to free himself from the chains, but it was no use. "We have to get out of here, before Naraku kills everyone we care about." Miroku said. Upon these words, Inu-Yasha used his all his strength, but it was no use. "Pull, Inu-Yasha! You have to pull using all your strength! We have to get out of here! You have to get out of here! You have to save our families!" Miroku encouraged him.

"Ahhh!" Inu-Yasha screamed as he pulled the chains from the wall.

"Good, now hurry, Inu-Yasha. You have to save our families." Miroku told him.

"What... about... you?" Inu-Yasha said as he gasped for air.

"Don't worry about me, just go." Miroku said. Inu-Yasha nodded as he stood up and headed out the cell door, leaving Miroku behind to his fate.

"Please save my family." Miroku said as he closed his eyes. Death was creeping up on him, but he didn't care. All Miroku cared about anymore was Sango and his children.

Inu-Yasha ran through the halls, trying to find a way out. The castle was big, and Inu-Yasha had never been there before. "Inu-Yasha..." a quiet voice called from behind. Inu-Yasha turned around and was surprised to see Kanna standing before him.

"What do you want?" he asked her.

"I was sent here to stop you from getting away." Kanna told him. Inu-Yasha didn't have time for this, but what else was he suppose to do?
