Chapter 7:

Hiei was running, running fast. He was heading towards Tyomaru's castle, the others not far behind. Well that's at least where he said he was going, they weren't quite sure, but for some reason Hiei new exactly where he was going.

Yukina and Botan had volunteered to come as well, they were worried about Sango and wanted to help as much as they could. Even the boy's protests didn't stop them, and soon enough they caved in and allowed them to come.

They had to travel by foot because Botan couldn't use her portal because some magical force field was in the way.

Now they were on their way to rescue Sango. Hiei had been very worried and upset about Sango being kidnapped, to everyone's surprise. And slowly the realization began to sink in and Hiei's emotions slowly began to play freely.

Hiei made a hault and when the others caught up with him, their faces became astonished. Ahead of them was a huge a castle on the mountainside. It's towers as high as the clouds and vines climbed up the walls, giving it an enchanting look.

They all moved forward in one slow motion. They were expecting some kind of barrier to keep them out, but to their surprise there was none. Taking the opportunity at hand, Hiei burst through the doors and ran down the hall.

The others had trouble keeping up with him at first but Kurama, who had changed into Yoko, caught up with him, leaving the others behind to catch up on their own.

"Where is she Hiei? Do you know?" Yoko questioned.

"Hn!" Hiei replied softly, "she's…there…" Hiei pointed in the direction of his left before running down the hall again.

They approached a huge golden door, and not wasting anymore time, they burst through it, not even bothering to open in properly.

What they saw made them gasp, or in Hiei's case infuriated. There in front of them laid Sango on the cold ground, blood running down her arm and into a puddle on the floor. She lay there motionless, a slow rise in her chest telling them she was still alive, but barely.

Hiei's temper rose higher and higher at the sight. Until he couldn't contain his fury, and he ran towards her, destined to reach her. He would of succeeded too if it weren't for the invisible barrier that showed up. He was deflected back into a wall, leaving an imprint of his back.

"Damn that must of hurt," Yusuke muttered to himself, but everyone else heard it nonetheless.

They all rushed to Hiei's side to help him to his feet but he just pushed them away, saying he was fine and could get up on his own.

"Kukukuku…you're hatred for me is blinding you Hiei," Tyomaru teased.

The spirit detectives look in every direction for Tyomaru, and finally they found him standing next to Sango's body.

"She really did this to herself. Trying to escape frm me, what a waste of energy."

"Shut up and lets get his over with!" Kuwabara yelled.

Tyomaru gave a look of disgust at Kuwabara. He wasn't actually going to fight against a weak human, or those two other demons. He was going to leave them for his little army of youkai. He would rather face Hiei in a battle, taking amusement in it.

"So…" Yusuke yelled, bored ness evident in his voice.

Tyomaru simply snapped his fingers and a bunch of demons surrounded them, not allowing any to escape. "Kill them all, but leave the fire demon for me!"

Knowing what Tyomaru was planning, Hiei made his way through the demons, killing a few on his way.

"So it's me you want to fight with? Fair enough I have no problem with that," Hiei spoke in a deep dangerous tone.

"Still mad at me? You'll be even madder when I kill you," Tyomaru shot back.

"Enough talk, lets get this over with!" Hiei snapped.

Tyomaru smirked, he was already getting on Hiei's nerves, and he didn't even do anything really. "Kukuku, anting to die that quickly?"

Hiei wanted to shut him up so badly. So he attacked first. Hiei unsheathed his sword and broke into a run. He ran at his full speed, moving from left to right, making it hard for Tyomaru to see him.

Damnit! Tyomaru cursed mentally. In the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of something. He brought his own sword up and almost wasn't able to deflect Hiei's attack.

Hiei was on the offense as he continued to attack Tyomaru with full force. But Hiei left his stomach wide open when he brought his kanata up, and it didn't go unnoticed either.

Tyomaru saw the chance he had and he took it. Before Hiei could bring his sword down, another slashed across his stomach, and he gasped. He was forced to his knees as he clutched his stomach with his right hand, his left hand supporting him up.

Tyomaru kicked him in the stomach while he was down, making him fly half way across the room till he skidded to a stop. Hiei winced and brought his hand up again to clutch his side once more; as he watched his enemy kick his sword a far distance away.

The sound of fighting filled her ears and she was forced to open her eyes. But as soon as she did that, she wanted to close them again and say it was just a dream, but she knew it was real.

She watched as Hiei struggled to get up, using the wall for support. Tyomaru continuously began to beat him. Hiei was being thrown across the room helplessly.

And when Sango looked away in a different direction, she saw the others fighting demons. They were pretty beat up as well, but they were at least able to stand up and fight back.

"Argh! Why do we always get stuck fighting these demons?" Yusuke growled out, as a demon was once again able to hit him. He was tiring out pretty fast and so were the others as well. Soon they won't be able to fight anymore.

But it looks like Hiei isn't doing any better; he thought as he glanced at Hiei and Tyomaru and then directed his attention back to the demons in front of him.

"Yoko watch out!" Botan yelled.

"Yoko turned his head but it was too late, he was knocked down by a giant centipede. Its poison was slowly seeping through clothes and into his skin. Yoko cried in pain as he changes back to Kurama, not being able to withstand the pain.

Kurama dropped his rose whip that he was holding up to defend himself and laid there with little jolts of pain shooting from his wound.

Botan and Yukina made their way over to his side. Yukina brought her hands up and started to heal Kurama's wounds. It was taking a long time but slowly he began to heal.

Botan joined in after a while to help the healing process faster. She wasn't wasn't as talented as Yukina was at healing people but at least it would help heal his wounds.

Yusuke and Kuwabara turned back around after watching the scene play before them, each taking a fighting stance. They were ready for the demons to attack, and they would do anything to protect their friends.

The first row of demons launched themselves at the two fighters. But they didn't get to far, when Yusuke's spirit gun and Kuwabara's spirit sword sliced through them.

"Yes!" Kuwabara yelled in triumphant.

"Don't celebrate just yet, there are more coming," Yusuke growled, but quickly added, "get ready! We'll attack together like me and Sango did the first time!"

Kuwabara stared at Yusuke dumbfounded for a while but nodded his head when he remembered last time they did that and got ready for yet another attack.

But what surprised them was that there was no attack. In fact the demons didn't even move from their spot, and soon they knew why…

Sango looked on at all her friends who were fighting, fighting for her? Did they actually come to get her back? To come and rescue her? These questions began to race through her mind, and they puzzled her for some reason.

But quickly Sango pushed them back. This was no time to ask questions that certainly didn't matter, what mattered was her friends were here now. Even if they came to get her or not, they came. And they were losing.

Sango couldn't stand to see them like this! Wounds all over them as blood, mixed with sweet dripped to the ground. And their deep breaths they took came out in gasps for air as they cried out in pain or fell to the ground with a 'thud'.

She was watching them fight helplessly! No! She wasn't helpless and she wasn't weak either! She was one of the most strongest demon slayers in all of Japan and she will do anything it takes to help her friends…even if it means risking her own life in the process.

Sango new what she had to do, she stood up from the ground, closed her eyes and began to concentrate on all her power.

Images of her family being killed, her brother being controlled by Naraku and then killed, Kagome shooting her with her arrow, her friends getting hurt while fighting for her, Hiei dieing within every second, all these images raced through her mind. Each one giving her more and more strength and power.

Sango rose in the air, her hair swirling around as she glowed a bright pink. The jewel's power started to grow stronger as it mixed with Sango's taiji blood and it rose in strength. Sango could feel the power run through her veins, and she became thirsty for more.

Tyomaru stopped attacking Hiei and turned around to face Sango. His eyes widened as he watched the slayer grow in power and strength, a pink light illuminating from her beautiful body, making her glow bright with power. He slowly began to tremble, fear written all over his face.

Hiei fell the tremendous amount of power and looked on in surprise at Sango. She's alive!?! She's ok! That's all that went through Hiei's mind. Sango was alive and ok, and that's all that was important to him right now.

Yusuke and Kuwabara ran over to Hiei's side to see his conditions. And behind them Botan and Yukina made their way over there as well, as they supported Kurama.

"Hiei are you ok?" Yukina asked concerned.

"I'm fine," he whispered softly, not even meaning to.

"Sango must finally be tapping into the jewel's ultimate power," Kurama conjured.

Tyomaru didn't move from his spot, he couldn't it was fear that kept him in place. The fear of how powerful the slayer was getting. Probably even too powerful for him.

The remaining demons that Yusuke and Kuwabara didn't destroy finally snapped out of their daze and tried to flee hastily. Sango's eyes immediately snapped open and she turned in the direction of the fleeing demons.

She slowly brought her hand up, facing it towards the demons. A radiant ball of energy formed in her hand and she released it, letting it fly past the demons. The rest all happened so fast. One minute the demons were trying to escape, the next they were all on the floor, dead.

Tyomaru couldn't believe it, his whole army of demons died from one single little blow. But his surprised face soon turned into one of pure evil.

He dealt with people or demons with the same kind of power and he defeated every single one of them. He had seen this power before and had diminished a long time ago! Why should this be any different?

He smirked and brought his sword up and threw it at her. She moved to the side, but not before it sliced through her arm first.

She frowned at his stupidity to attack someone with this amount of power. She gave him a chance to back down; by showing him how powerful she truly can be when she destroyed his army. But it was too late now, he had his chance and blew it by trying to hit her with his sword.

This time both hands started to glow and a whole bunch of energy balls flew out form her hands and towards Tyomaru. He tried dodging most of them but was hit a couple of times as well, burning his skin till it bled.

A ball of energy was heading towards Hiei and the others too. They all brought their hands up to protect themselves, waiting for the impact. But it never came and when they looked up, a barrier dissipated from sight. But where did the barrier come from?

Sango gave Hiei a smile, and for the first time ever, Hiei's lips curved in a small, tiny smile as well. As his lips curved a while bunch of emotions that he had for so long suppressed, ran across his face all at once.

Sango redirected her attention toward Tyomaru again, "you can't win against me! I won't allow it!"

"Oh but I will my little Sango, I always do," he trailed off.

Sango was getting annoyed by him, he always says he's going to win, but this time she won't allow that to happen one bit. No, now the tables have turned.

In one swift moment Sango raced towards him, her hand pulled back; ready to strike as a powerful energy ball was ready to be thrown his way.

Sango stopped as a tentacle made it's way through Sango's stomach. Blood oozed out and rolled down her body and onto the tentacle. Tentacle? How could that be? She only knew one person who had tentacles, and that was…

Sango's eyes went wide and she stared at Tyomaru. He pulled his tentacle out and let her fall to the ground. As soon as she landed, another tentacle came and wrapped around her stomach and lifted her back into the air.

Tyomaru's form began to change, till Naraku was now the person who stood directly in front of her, "Naraku!" She hissed.

Hiei and the others heard her and their eyes too went large. This was Naraku? The bastard who tortured Sango and made her life a living hell?

Hiei gritted his teeth and balled his hands into fists. The damn bastard! He screamed in his mind. He got angrier when he watched the blood from Sango's wound drop to the floor. How could that bastard!?!

"Kukuku…took you long enough, didn't it? You can't defeat me Sango! Not when I know all you weaknesses…" he laughed and tightened his hold on Sango, making her wince in pain. "Your life is now in my hands…"

"No Sango!" screamed Yukina. She turned her head not being able to look and watch the scene play before them.

Sango smiled at Naraku, and he became furious at her, "I don't see anything funny! Especially with the position you're in right now!"

Sango's smile didn't leave her face. Then she spoke, "Naraku, you may know my weaknesses, but you sure as hell don't know my source of power," Sango took one quick glance at Hiei before she turned her attention back at Naraku.

Sorry Hiei… she spoke to him telepathically.

"No," he whispered, "No! Sango don't do it!" he yelled more louder.

Naraku's eyes widened but it was already to late, Sango released her full power, and a huge explosion consumed them both.

Everyone covered their eyes from the dust and debris. When everything settled down a bit, only a crater was left in their spot.

Everyone looked up and saw Sango slowly descend to the ground. That's when Hiei took action! Ignoring the huge amount of pain, he ran as fast as he could towards Sango and caught her before she hit the ground.

Hiei kneeled down, Sango on his lap, close to his chest. He squeezed her shoulders and brushed some hair out of her eyes.

She opened them slowly and smiled when she saw Hiei, "h-he's…finally gone…" she began wince at the pain that shot through her body.

"Yeah, because of you," he replied in the most softest tone he had. By then the rest had caught up with Hiei, and were listening as tears formed in the corner of their eyes.

"No…I-it was…because o-of you guys. Y-you guys…were my source…of power. O-our friendship g-gave me strength…especially y-you Hiei…and together we defeated h-him," Sango gritted her teeth when once again the pain returned.

"Shhhh, Sango save your strength, we'll get help soon," Botan whispered.

"I-I'm sorry, but I won't be able to continue on…I-I love y-you Hiei…" were Sango's last words as she pushed her body up and softly kissed his lips. Hiei leaned down and her responded to her soft kiss, until she went limb in Hiei's arms, her breath slowly dieing down to a stop.

"No!" Hiei yelled fiercely, and he tightened his, "you can't leave me damnit! You're too damn stubborn to let the bastard Naraku kill you!"

Hiei couldn't believe it, he wouldn't believe it, he refused to! He began to shake uncontrollably as tears ran down his cheeks for the first time, and splashed on Sango's pale face.

Yukina turned around and began crying in Kuwabara's chest. "N-no, I can't believe s-she's gone…" Kuwabara wrapped his arms around Yukina, watching her tears fall to the ground as crystals, soon followed by his own.

Botan couldn't suppress her own sadness, and before she new it, she too began cry. She put her face in her hands, shaking her head in disbelief.

Kurama and Yusuke both watched and cried as well for the loss of their friend. They took pity in Hiei for losing the first person he had ever fallen in love with someone. The first time he actually showed his feelings towards another person.

"You can't leave me now Sango. Not after I finally realized my true feelings towards you…how am I supposed to live without you?" Hiei whispered softly, then quickly added, "I love you too…"

And as if the gods had heard his painful cry, another burst of light erupted from Sango's body and a huge gust of wind surrounded the two. The force of the wind was very strong, but now matter what, Hiei refused to let her go, and they both disappeared into thin air.

Kagome was in a hut crying in Inuyasha's chest, saying things like, "It was my fault she's gone, I shot her with my arrow!"

"Shhhh, it wasn't your fault, it was nobody's fault," he said in a soothing manner as he rubbed her back with his clawed hand.

"Thanks," she replied, but her voice cracked as she said it and she broke down into a fountain of tears again. Having been in the hut for two days crying, she kinda got used to the hanyou's comfort and sometimes it really helped, but usually she just kept on crying like she did now.

Everyone was in a saddened or depressed mood lately. Kagome kept on her crying and Inuyasha tried to comfort her pain, even though he too was just as sad from loosing a close friend.

Shippo would stay in the same hut as Kagome, crying as well. He even cried just as much as Kagome had and would end up falling asleep after a while.

Miroku was sad as well but he didn't cry at all. Actually after awhile he got over it quickly, almost too quickly. And now he returned to the village Koharu is and decided to live with her. (What a bastard! Whoops gotta watch me language, hehehe!"

Kirara was the worst at of all of them. She would mope around Kaede's village. Silently crying and mourning for her mistress. And whenever a demon crossed her path, she took all her anger out on it.

Inuyasha sighed and looked at Shippo and Kirara who were silently in the corner. His head suddenly snapped up when an all too familiar presence entered the village. A shiver went up his spine and he stood up to go meet his brother Sesshoumaru.

When he exited the hut, his brother was standing in front of him, waiting for Inuyasha. What the hell does he want!?! Inuyasha questioned himself.

Then, just like Sesshoumaru had read his mind, he spoke, "dear brother, I am not here to fight you. But I had felt a familiar power in the direction of Naraku's battlefield! I believe your friend has now returned."

"What!?!" Inuyasha had a look of confusion on his face.

"Inuyasha I sense the jewel!" Kagome said as she ran out of the hut and made her way towards Inuyasha, but stopped when she took in the sight of Sesshoumaru.

"Kagome what direction is it in?" Inuyasha demanded and when he didn't get an answer, he yelled again, " Kagome answer me, what direction is it in?"

"U-uh I-its in that direction," Kagome pointed towards the north, where Naraku's battle had taken place, where he, along with Sango had disappeared. Kirara and Shippo ran out of the hut. Kirara transformed immediately and growled at the inu lord.

"I'm not here to fight you neko!" Sesshoumaru replied.

Kagome let out a breath she never new she had and smiled at the two inu brothers. "Kagome there's not time to diddy doddle, so get one now!" He turned around so Kagome could climb on his back. And once Kagome did, he ran to the north.

Sesshoumaru and Kirara, with Shippo on her back, followed close behind him, in hopes to get there before something else happened.

When they reached the clearing, the came to a halt, taking in the sight before them. A small but yet powerful demon was crouched down low to the ground. They surveyed him closely. He had black spiky hair. He also wore a whit bandana on his forehead, obviously hiding something. His clothes were also completely black, and he seemed short, but then again he was crouched down to the ground.

And as they squinted their eyes and looked closely, they saw a limb body in his arms. His arms tightened around her body almost protectively, and he glared daggers at them. When he adjusted the weight in his arms they caught a glimpse of the face, and they all gasped.

It was Sango! Sango is back! Kagome thought happily, but her face quickly turned into one of horror and despondency. Sango was here all right, but she was dead. She wasn't breathing and her chest was still. Her face was exceedingly pale, and her lips were a dark purplish blue.

"No! S-she c-can't be…" Kagome turned away, not being able to look at her friend's dead body anymore. Shippo jumped on Kagome's shoulder and clutched her shirt, trying desperately not to let go, hoping he was just dreaming about this, and none of it was happening.

"I-is s-she dead?" Shippo tried to say between little bits of cries.

"I-I'm afraid so Shippo."

Kirara growled and moved to be in front of Kagome and Shippo. She was feeling incensed. Just watching that demon hold her mistress like that! Did he not kill her? If he was the one who killed her then why would he hold Sango like that, almost…well…possessively. This was all that went through each of their minds.

Inuyasha took once step ahead and brought out Tetsusaiga, and it transformed from its rusty state it an enormous fang. "What the hell did you do to her demon? I'm going to kick your sorry ass-!"

"Hn!" Hiei responded coldly. He did not like these new strangers, didn't like them one bit! And the fact that they accused him of killing Sango, was just infuriating! Even though he would never in a lifetime admit it, he would never harm Sango, let alone kill her!

"Demon, we know you killed her!" Sesshoumaru stated simply, his stoic mask still place on his face like always.

"I did not kill her," he replied in an icy tone. Then later added, "I would never harm her." He mostly meant to say it to himself but the demons heard him as well.

Everyone gave each other confused looks and then directed their attention back to Sango and Hiei.

Sesshoumaru didn't trust this demon at all, and by the looks of it neither did the others. But for some reason Sesshoumaru new he was speaking the truth, so he pulled out Tensiaga (sp?) and walked swiftly towards the two.

Hiei watched the confusion between the group of demons and the human. Who are they? The question formed in his mind and it was bothering him beyond anything. Then it hit him like a ton of bricks. These were her friends from the past! He remembered seeing pictures of them in her head when she told her story to them. They looked exactly the same and they fit her description perfect.

He was brought out of his thoughts when he noticed the tall inu lord pull out his sword and walk towards them. Hiei just looked hard at him, glaring daggers at him as he still advanced towards them. But Hiei soon relaxed once he read his mind. He was, if it was even possible, going to revive Sango.

Hiei could only hope the inu lord new what he was doing. He didn't trust him very much, but just the thought of having Sango brought back made Hiei somewhat happy. As weird as it sounds, it was the complete truth. Now that he understood his own feelings and emotions, he wasn't going to deny it anymore, well maybe not to himself, but he did love her, and he always will.

Sesshoumaru now stood in front of the two and he looked from Hiei to Sango, then back again. "Move," was his only reply. Hiei hesitated for a moment, clutching tighter to Sango's body, but after a while of contemplating, he finally set her safely down on the ground. He stood up from his position and made one step backwards, not wanting to go any further away from her.

Sesshoumaru nodded towards Hiei, and all he did was glare right back at him. Sesshoumaru diverted his gaze from Hiei, and once again looked towards Sango. He raised his sword above Sango's body and brought it down, slicing through her.

By now the rest of the gang moved closer and were watching as Sesshoumaru used Tensiaga to revive Sango. They could only hope that the power of the sword alone would be able to bring back their friend.

Tension filled the air as everyone just stared. Kagome was clutching to Inuyasha's arm for emotional support as Shippo clutched to Kagome. Kirara moved in front of Sango's body to stare at Hiei, to make sure he wouldn't be able to do something, and was still be able to glance at her mistress in the corner of her eye.

Hiei just kept his gaze on Sango, ignoring the fire neko in front of him. He new why they were so protective of their friend, and he didn't want to get on their bad side. 3 demons against one isn't exactly fair, and not exactly smart to start a fight with them.

Hiei smirked at remembering Kuwabara and Yusuke. They would most likely pick a fight between these demons, and would surely get their asses kicked for their stupidity.

Silence filled the air, and as they waited…and waited…and waited, nothing happened. They dropped their heads down in shame and sadness. Sesshoumaru just stood there looking at his sword, the sword that was supposed to be able to bring back life. Pathetic sword, it couldn't even do one simple task!

Hiei Stared at Sango's body, not believing any of it. It should of work, right? The sword should have been able to bring her back to life, then why wasn't she awake? Hiei walked towards Sango. Slowly her kneeled down by her body, picking her up in his arms.

Inuyasha and the others snapped out of their thoughts and watched cautiously towards Hiei. Watching as he picked up Sango in his arms and embraced her like there was not tomorrow.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Inuyasha yelled.

"Inuyasha stop it! I don't think he is here to hurt any of us," Kagome replied, trying to calm Inuyasha down as much as she could.

"What are you talking about! He's a demon, we don't know what he'll do next! He was probably the one who killed her!"

"Brother stop your indecent yelling!" Sesshoumaru said coldly, making Inuyasha cross his arms over his chest and huff in response.

Hiei ignored the fighting going on behind him. All his attention was on the woman in his arms. The woman he loved and lost. Life just seemed so cruel to him. He brushed his thumb across her pale cheek and smiled at her face. Slowly he leaned down and brushed his lips against her cold ones, whispering something on the lines of 'I love you'.

For the first time in years, tears began to form in his eyes and they fell freely across his face, making small wet streaks on both sides. Just as he was about to pull away, he heard a soft and sweet voice.

"Hiei…"
