Kagome yawns. "I barely got any sleep last night." Yume yawns form the bicycle basket Kagome was pushing groggily.

"Hurry up, Kagome or we'll leave you behind."

"Shut up, InuYasha. I'm going as fast as I can."

The bake bumped over a rock and the basket cracked open. Yume gasped in surprise and dropped to the ground. "Ooow! Stupid bike!"

Kagome sighed unhappily. "Now I have to get a new basket."

Miroku stopped suddenly and Kirara was hissing at something only she and Miroku could see. Yume helped herself up and sniffed the air. Kagome watched uncomfortably. "What's up with you?"

Yume looked around in disgust. "Kagura."

Kagome kept her self from saying anything. Kouga sniffs the air uncertainly. "Hey she's right."

One again, the wind picked up and the sky darkened and Kagura appeared before them.

"I see, you're obeying my orders."

Kagome steps beside Yume and grabs her bow. "What do you want now?"

"You've made it to the castle. Very good."

The others look at Kagura like she's nuts. Sango raises her Hiraikotsu. "What do you mean?"

"Heh. Dense you are. Beyond me is the barrier. InuYasha, I'll leave you to break it." With that Kagura disappeared.

InuYasha unsheathed the Tetsusaiga. "Alrihgt, stand back, this barrier is going down."

Kagome kicked her bike aside and took Yume a few steps back. Sango and Miroku took Kirara and Shippo and moved to the side. Kouga remained where he was next to InuYasha. "This I have to see for myself."

"Your funeral Kouga. Stay where you are, I'll bring you down along with this barrier." Kouga took the hint and took half a step back. Yume watched quietly from the safety of behind Kagome.

Demonic air circled around the Tetsusaiga and it glowed red. Kouga took another step back. "Good idea Kouga because this is coming down!"

InuYasha took a quick swift swing of the blade. The demonic air of the Wind Scar burst into the barrier making it glow a shocking light blue. InuYasha is surprised at his own power—or how the Baklauhal is backfiring. In seconds Kirara transformed picking up Miroku and Sango and Shippo. InuYasha quickly sheathed the Tetsusaiga, turned around and grabbed Kagome and Yume and jumped out of the way. Kouga followed. In seconds a huge explosion sounded throughout the area. Sango and Miroku ducked behind Kirara and InuYasha wielded the Tetsusaiga and used it as a barrier to protect him, Kagome and Yume, and (unwillingly) Kouga. When the dust cleared the barrier had penetrated and there stood a huge mountain with a speck at the top; Naraku's Castle.

"We'll meet you at the top." Sango called down from Kirara and flew off.

Kouga stood there utterly confused. "'Meet them up there'? What are they talking about, they think that we'll just run up there." Kouga waits for a response but no one says anything. "Hm?"

"Hey Kouga!" Kouga turns his attention to the speaker. "What?" "WHAT?!"

InuYasha is already about to start up the cliff with Kagome on his back. "Stop talking to your self Kouga and let's go." InuYasha takes a huge jump and starts up the cliff.

"InuYasha, you bastard! Get back here!"

"Ahem."

Kouga looks down. Yume is standing there with her arms crossed and tapping her foot. Kouga sighs. Fine. Let's go." Kouga picks up Yume and runs p the cliff using the power of the two jewel shards in his legs. In seconds he and the girl were with the rest fo them standing on front of Naraku's Castle. Yume wiggled out of Kouga's arms and ran to Kagome. "Mommy? You look upset."

"Hmm. Naraku's gonna pay."

Deep within the castle, Naraku was watching the groups every move by the use of Kanna's mirror. "So they made it. I didn't think they find the barrier this quickly." Naraku hisses angrily. Kagura smiles to herself but turns into a smirk as soon as Naraku looks at her. "How, Kagura?"

Kagura shrugs.

"Ghrr…This leaves me unprepared."

"Now what?" Miroku looks around, horrified at the strong demonic aura.

"We need to find Kanna. Or else Yume will be killed by Naraku if we don't get her to her original time." Kagome explained.

InuYasha nods. "She's right. Look, Kagome, you and Kouga go find Kagura, Sango and Miroku can take care of Naraku and stall him and I'll bring Yume to find Naraku."

Sango and Miroku nod. "Sounds good."

A worried Kagome questions, "Why can't I go find Kanna?"

InuYasha shakes his head sympathetically. "Go get your revenge on Kagura."

Kagome didn't take too well to this but knew InuYasha was right. "Kay. Let's go Kouga."

Both of them headed off to the larger hallway. Kagome stopped suddenly and yells back. "Don't do anything without me, InuYasha." She turned around and ran to catch up with Kouga.

"You're letting Kouga go with Kagome?" Miroku asked, surprised.

"Yep. It might not matter if Kagome is there or not. When that chance comes, we have to get her back, no matter what."

Sango thinks about this and agrees. "Right."

"Good luck InuYasha." Shippo said before Sango and Miroku headed off towards the strongest demonic aura.

"Alright, Yume, let's go." InuYasha head of fin the opposite direction with Yume right behind him.

"What did you mean 'when the chance comes'?" Yume asked. InuYasha tried to ignore that but he couldn't shake it off. "When we have to send you back to your time, we have to no matter who's there or who's not there, Yume."

"But I don't want to go back!"

InuYasha stopped and Yume bumped into him. "Hey why did you stop?"

"What do you mean you don't want to back?"

"I like it here. I don't have many friends back there. And—well I just like it here."

"As much as I would like you to stay too, you can't. Naraku will kill you eventually."

"Not if you kill him first!" Yume sank to her knees clutching her head, her temples throbbing. "Ow! I remembered."

InuYasha knelt down beside her. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"I remembered something! Something big! Ow!"

"Yume. Yume!"

Yume continued to be in pain as InuYasha looked on helplessly.

"InuYasha! Help!"

"I-I don't know what to do…"

The pain got to Yume and hit her hard. She started to cry, still in pain. Yume was close to giving up and trying to choke herself so the pain would go away, until she felt someone holding her. The pain slowly relaxed and so did she but the tears kept coming. Yume opened her eyes and looked up. "I-I-InuYasha?"

InuYasha let go, breathing heavily. "You alright now, kid?"

Yume nodded tearfully.

"Good." InuYasha stood up. "'Cause Kagome would kill me if something happened to you."

Yume looked up. Yume thought about saying something, but she was still in too much pain. A white light started toward them. InuYasha ripped out the Tetsusaiga form it's sheath. "Stay behind me Yume."

"Kay." Without hesitation Yume stood behind InuYasha.

"Oh, It's you, Kanna."

Kanna walked slowly up to them but didn't say a word.

Yume recognized her. "It's her."

Kanna stopped and spoke in a cold ghost voice echoing throughout the hall. "Yume, Naraku wants to get rid of you, he's finished with you."

"No! I'm not going anywhere!"

"If you don't he will kill your friends. All of them were unsuccessful."

Yume gasped.

"Maybe so, but Kagome and Kouga will waste your sister, Kanna." InuYasha said confidently.

Kanna smirked. "I'm glad you think that. Her death will go more smoothly."

InuYasha froze. Yume raced up to Kanna and tried to deliver a blow.

"Yume! Get back here!"

Kanna reflected her power and Yume flew backwards and hit the floor. She got right back up. "If you hurt my mommy, I'll kill you!"

"Oh, I won't hurt her, Naraku is already doing that."

Yume tried once more to hit Kanna ut she disappeared. Yume stopped and froze in place. Before she could turn around InuYasha grabbed her and ran off. Yume hung onto his cursed prayer beads. "Now what?"

"I'll tell you what. You're gonna ride on my back 'cause right now, you're choking me!"
