I don't own Inuyasha!

"So, how are we supposed to find Kagura?" Takato frowned at Rita.

          "I kinda figured that she would find us, we'd fight and talk at the same time so that Naraku won't get suspicious," Rita shrugged.

          "You're serious?!" Takato repeatedly slammed the palm of his hand to his forehead. "Why did I get stuck with the hyper-reincarnation of Midoriko?!"

          "Stupid ningen," Sesshomaru chuckled.

          "Yeah! Stupid…" Rin paused. "Sesshomaru-sama! Rin wants to know what is a ningen? Jaken calls Rin a stupid ningen all the time!"

          "Ningen means human, Rin," Sesshomaru sighed.

          "Does that mean that Sesshomaru-sama thinks that Rin is stupid, Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin pouted.

          "No, Rin…" Sesshomaru unconsciously growled at the thought of the toad.

          "Rin, Sesshomaru-sama thinks that you are a very pretty little girl, and he thinks that you are one of the smartest and prettiest little girls in the whole world," Rita soothed the child and Sesshomaru gave her a nod for his gratitude.

          "Really?! Sesshomaru-sama thinks Rin is pretty and smart?!" Rin looked up to Sesshomaru and watched him affirm what Rita had told her, "Yeah! Rin pretty and smart! What's smart mean Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin cocked her head.

          "It means that you know more than many other ningens," Sesshomaru sighed at his ward's endless questioning.

          "So, Rin is smart like Rita-chan!" Rin grinned as she looked up at Sesshomaru.

          "Hai," Sesshomaru chuckled as Rin danced around him happily.

          "I just realized that we never found Shippo," Inuyasha groaned.

          "The fox left after you were pinned to the tree, little brother," Sesshomaru frowned. "Someone is nearby."

          "Kagura…" Inuyasha growled, as he stepped protectively in front of Rita.

          "Inuyasha, I thought your last bitch planted you to a tree. Yet, it appears you still have not learned your lesson from the first two and sworn off humans all together!" Kagura sneered.

          "Hey, Kagura! Naraku holds your heart, right?" Rita's mind went into negotiations mode.

          "How do you know this, stupid ningen?" Kagura growled.

          "It's not important HOW I know, but what deal we'd like to make with you," Rita smirked. "Really, Naraku holds Onigumo's heart, and he infused it into you so that he would never have to worry about a human heart. Kanna will turn, if he is killed and she will always stay by your side, as your sister."

          "She would?" Kagura frowned, as she tensed and leapt to cross swords with Inuyasha, "So, what are you offering me?"

          "We'll kill Naraku, but we need your help in getting us to the castle and pointing out the real Naraku," Rita kept her face devoid of all emotion, to help insure Kagura that she was serious. Inuyasha and Kagura's blades crossed and they both jumped away.

          "And I get my freedom, one way or another? I don't believe you, ningen," Kagura smirked and chuckled. "Is the demon Lord too weak to attack me or has he just gone soft?"

          "You will eat your words, woman," Sesshomaru growled as he left Rin in Rita, Kirara's, and Takato's capable hands.

          Though it may have been no noticeable change, Kagura was giving a lot of ground while both brothers' were fighting together, and she was sneakily showing them the way to Naraku. Sesshomaru and Takato were next to notice, and then Inuyasha caught on to Kagura's plan. Kirara forced the three humans on her back and took off into the sky, following the three fighting demons from above.
