Disclamer: I do not own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho they both belong to they're original creators and that is not me

Last Time:

"Let's play, shall we?" Kanna said emotionlessly as ever.

"Let the games begin!" Kagura yelled as she raised her fan and charged towards Sesshomaru.

change of scenery: on a country trail with Kagome and others

The group had been walking for some time, and no one had spoken a word. Everything was quiet, a little too quiet, it was that eery quiet, that drove someone to insanity.

"GRRR!! That's enough! I can't stand it anymore!" Kuwabara screamed while pulling out his hair.

"What is it Kuwabara?" Botan questioned.

"The silence! It's unnatural in this place!" he said.

"We were enjoying the silence, Kuwa-chan." Botan said.

"Botan, Ixnay the ickname nay..."

"What? Are you ok Kuwabara, you're taking funny?" Kagome said as she placed her hand to his forehead, while walking backwards.

"All right this is taking far to long, isn't it?" Botan said calling the groups attention to fall on her. "Sango, Kirara can fly right?"

"Yes, there are to many people here for her to carry."

"Well, lets see what we can do....On Kirara....will be Sango, Miroku, and Kuwabara." Botan said.

"But what about Kagome?" Sango asked.

"Well she can fly on her own with Shippo." Botan said, then turned to Kagome with a grin on her face. "That is, of course, unless you want to fly with me again."

"No! That's alright....I'll fly by myself.' Kagome said remembering what had happened before.

"Haha, that's ok, I understand, And that leaves Kurama with me." Botan said as she materialized her oar.

"Aww, man, I'll miss ya'" Kuwabara said to Kurama, who was next to him.

"It was nice knowing you." Kagome said as is walked passed the now worried Kurama.

"Arrr! I don't fly that bad! And you know it!" Botan yelled.

"Botan...I would rather...just..."

"Let's go!" Botan said as she materialized her oar and shoved Kurama on.

The group few at a slow and steed pace and the flight could even be called relaxing. That is, until the group spotted a little dot below them jumping from tree to tree. At first everyone thought it just some random demon, but as the group looked on, one member of the party, looked shocked and call out the name "Kohaku!" before she dove towards the figure.

change of scenery: with Kohaku

They had been traveling for hours now, with no precise destination set and their energy fading quickly. The girl, Rin, had already fallen asleep on his back, and Kohaku, himself, was getting tired of carrying a little girl. But he couldn't stop, Naraku's insects we one his tail, making sure he took the girl to where he was supposed to, and he was running out of options to save her, they were almost at the drop point.

But as luck would have it he heard the one voice that he both wanted and didn't want to hear.

"Kohaku!" his sister cried.

He looked up. Although it pained him to see her distressed face he was happy, happy that at least he would be able to save one live from ending, the girl's life.

"Hey, Rin." he said in a whisper so that only she could hear.

"Huh?" she reasoned slowly awaking. "Are we there...." she asked with sleep in her voice.

"Yes, you see those people....they are going to take you to Sesshomaru." he said again keeping his voice low.

"They are?....But what about you? What will happen to Kohaku-kun if he does not take Rin with him?"

"That does not matter" he said still shocked that she cared for her abductor. He jumped out of the tree at the same time Sango swooped down.

"Kohaku..." she said as she got off Kirara.

"Who is that?" Kuwabara asked Miroku in a whisper.

"That is Sango's little brother, Kohaku." Miroku responded.

"Kohaku, do you still not remember who you are, who I am? Do you still work blind fully for Naraku....Please Kohaku...let me help you. Please come back to me." Sango said with tears in her eyes and trying very hard to keep her voice steady.

"Kohaku-kun, why does she cry?" Rin asked.

"Because....I am bad person..."

"Rin doesn't believe that." Rin said. "There's good in you, just like there is good in Sesshomaru-sama."

Kohaku looked back at the little girl, he didn't know why but he believed her words that there was still good in him, that there might still be hope. For some reason he trusted this girl, she was different for everyone else, and that made him trust her.

"I have to make this look believable, so hold on." he said in a even lower voice than before because the insects where not only a few paces behind him. With that said he charged at Sango, with his sickel.

Sango jumped back and for the first time noticed that Kohaku was carrying something. It was a little girl. "Miroku!" she called as she blocked another attack her brother threw. "Get the girl." Miroku notice what she was talking about and rushed into the battle only to have his sleeve cut by Kohaku's weapon.

Throughout all this Kuwabara was confused. Why was Sango fighting her kid brother, why is he attacking her, why is he carrying a girl on his back? But the time he had reached his 20th question the others had landed and were watching. Those in his group bore the same confused look, while Kagome and Shippo looked on with a sad expression.

"What the hell's going on here?!?!" Kuwabara yelled.

"That's Sango's brother, he's being controlled by Naraku." Kagome said sadly.

Kohaku was quickly losing this battle, 1. he didn't want to win and 2. he had to make sure Rin stayed on his back.

"Rin, I'm going to take a hit, then I'm going to leave you with that group." Kohaku said as he dodged Sango's weapon.

"But ho..." Rin started but never got to finish. Kohaku took a hit from hiraitotsu in his side and went flying threw Sango's group. He dismissed the pain and pried Rin's hands form around his neck. This caused her to go flying right into Kuwabara's stomach, making him fall to the ground with the wind knocked out of him.

Kohaku clucked his sided as he picked up his weapon and prepared to attack but Sango had already taking up her weapon and was standing over him. With her eyes hidden by her bangs and her voice filled with hurt she spoke. "Kohaku, leave...."

Kohaku didn't move and just fixed a blank stare on her.

"Leave! Before I change my mind!" Sango yelled with her eyes full of tears and her voice cracking.

'Aneue...I'm sorry.' Kohaku thought as he turned around and ran way with the poisonous insects behind him.

"Kohaku-kun" Rin whispered sadly as she sat up on, the now unconscious, Kuwabara's stomach.

With Kohaku gone Sango's knees gave way under her as she watched her brother leave through tear blurred vision. "Kohaku...I'll get you back." she said as Miroku came to help her up and walked her back to the group.

"Now who is this little girl that has joined our group!" Botan said cheerfully, hoping to lighten the groups atmosphere.

Rin turned her head from the last place she had seen Kohaku, and with the same courage she always spoke with, she said, "I am Rin."

To say that Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kagome were shocked would be an understatement.

change of scenery: With Kikyo and Sesshomaru

"What do you want?...." Kikyo said as she stared into Kanna's blank face. "Naraku must be after something if he sent his underlings out as a distraction." Still no response. "And I," Kikyo said as she drew an arrow and aimed. "Don't intend for him to get what he wants!" And with that she fired.

Her arrow in midair started to glow a bright white, but Kanna made no move. As the arrow approached she lifted her mirror to it's level and waited. When the arrow struck she was move back by the force a pace or two but when she looked up she was perfectly fine and the arrow was nowhere to be found.

"That will not work." she responded as she once again raised her mirror, but this time it started to glow. It appeared that Kanna was doing nothing but soon Kikyo felt the mirror effect.

'That girl....she's stealing my souls.' she thought. She tried to move by found it incredibly difficult, with her breath labored she drew an arrow to defend herself but her knees gave out under her weight and she fell to the floor. The last thing she saw before the world went black around her was Kanna stepping over her, towards her sister.

Kagura was having her own problems. As usually she was being used to test how strong Sesshomaru was, the problem with this was, that she had to put her life on the line to do this or risk greater punishment for disrespect Naraku's orders.

As Sesshomaru used his whip, she barley had time to avoid her death. She stood her ground, with a confident smirk, but her eyes showed that she was scared, this Sesshomaru saw, but did not stop. He would show her what it meant to challenge this Sesshomaru.

Both stood apart facing each other, waiting for the other to make a move. It was Kagura that moved first, she raised her fan, and began to call out her attack, but she never completed it, as Sesshomaru's hand captured her neck. His eyes narrowed at Kanna walked over, but made no intention of helping her sister.

Kagura gasped, the poison was taking its affect. She kept her face as indifferent as she could. "Would you really was time with me when your precious human girl is being taken to Naraku as we speak."

His eyes narrows but he spoke as if he had not heard her "Naraku, sent you" it was more of a statement than a question. She glared at him, and he continued, "...I see you are just his puppet. Tell him this, this Sesshomaru fears no one, and he will regret crossing my path." with that he dropped Kagura, whose hand immediately went to her throat. And without another word he left.

change of scenery: Inuyasha

With his early encounter with Hiei and Yusuke, Inuyasha had taken refuge in a near by tree watching and waiting for the others to come back. He'd never admit it, but he missed all of them Sango, Shippo, even Miroku. It wasn't just that, it was these new people, they seemed to be hiding things from them. Of course his group didn't spill out all of their own secrets but what they kept it was for a good reason.

Inuyasha sighed as he looked as the setting sun, it had been a long day and it appeared that it was going to be an even longer night. He shifted carefully on the tree branch as she looked down at his hand. He could fell it, his power, slowly receding, it would happen any time now. 'Of all the times I complained that I had told them, they where the ones that made thins night bearable.' he thought to himself. As if hearing his silent words, on the horizon, where small figures, but they where unmistakably his party.

He watched as they slowly landed. Both group got off what they where riding, and updated each other on what was new. But there was one more, a girl. She was talking animatedly with Shippo. Inuyasha, from his distance couldn't put his finger on who she was, but as they wind slowly changed directions, his quickly fading power picked it up. The smell of his brother was all around that girl, and there was no doubt in his mind that she was the human that traveled with Seeshomaru, Rin.

He jumped out of the tree and landed gracefully behind Shippo, "What the hell is she doing hear?!" he said pointing at her. Now with everyone's attention clearly on him, no one spoke.

"Hello, Inuyasha." Rin said in her most polite voice, with a sincere smile on her face.

"Inuyasha, she was being kidnaped when we found her." Sango said, with apparent sadness in her voice.

Weather Inuyasha noticed or not, was not apparent as he continued "I don't care, she can't stay!"

"Inuyasha! That's horrible of you!" Kagome said as she took a step towards him,

"She's just a little girl! You can expect her to wander out there by her self."

"Inuyasha...." Botan said. It was weird, everyone from her group was busy doing their own thing, and every one from Kagome's group was watching the fight, but no one noticed the change that was occurring.

"Feh, Her here is only going to bring problems. We don't need anymore problems." Inuyasha responded.

"She's staying. And that's it!"

"Inuyasha....." Botan said, she couldn't believe her eyes, he changed, he was completely different now. Slowly she walked up to him, and patted him on the head. This caught his attention, as well as everyone else's.

"What the hell do you think your doing?" he said as he pulled back.

"You're different. What happened to your ears?" she said as she pulled his now human ears.

Try to control his anger was a very hard thing and he was luck that Yusuke had pulled Botan away before he yelled at her for touching him.

"Wanna explain?" Yusuke said, from he had moved Botan to.

"Feh!"
