Hello, everyone I am writing this chapter for the second time. Last time my
'friend', which I am now reconsidering, showed up and my parents said I had

take a long time to update, for I am having major computer troubles.
However, they could clear up tomorrow so does not look at this story for
weeks on end. Anyway, I hope I can remember everything I wrote. Grr and I

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ recap ~~~~~
Kikyo has snuck in the building, the group is now entering the mansion and the girls are ready to do the killing.
(Yeah I know sucky recap but give me a break I cannot remember what I wrote!)
~~~~~~~~ U~V ~~~~~~~
Chapter 3 - Shot, yet loved.
~~~~ U~V ~~~
Kikyo watched the girls walk into the house and smiled.
'They don't suspect a thing.' Kikyo thought jumping in an open window near the tree.
Kagome stopped an inch from the door and looked up.
"Hey Kag is something wrong?" Rin said, walking over to her friend.
"I thought I sensed something." Kagome said, still looking up at the window.
"Kagome you have been over work for a while, remember the roof, you are probably just imagining things." Sango said, walking over to her friend.
"Maybe you right." Kagome said, and then walked with her friends into the house.
~~~~ Kikyo ~~~~~
"I thought there was a reason she was the leader, so I am going to have to hide my powers, and Kagura and Kanna that goes for you to." Kikyo said, looking at her accomplices.
"There is a power in her that we are not aware of, we should be careful and take her out first." Kagura said, closing her fan.
"We shouldn't attack them all at once, they will over power us." Kanna said, they all nodded and then disappeared.
~~~~ Kagome ~~~~
"So what country are you girls doing?" Kagome asked, smiling at her friends.
"Well Fluffy and I are do Japan and a stir fry." Rin said a huge smile on her face.
"Fluffy is that a nick name!" Ayame said, blocking Rin's path.
"Well..."Rin said, taking a step back.
"Doesn't sound like a nick name, sounds like a pet name!" Kagome said, joining Ayame.
"Rin you were the last one I would have suspected to fall in love with her target, you know the rules." Sango said, pulling Kagome and Ayame away from Rin so they could keep walking.
"Are you thinking of the story of Mikoni?" Kagome said, looking over at her friend.
"Who is Mikoni?" Rin said.
"Oh yeah, you came in to late to hear the legend about her." Ayame said, seeming to be in a different world.
"How do you know that it is a legend?" Kagome said, looking over at Ayame.
"Well someone tell me what the legend is!" Rin said, standing in front of all of them.
"Sango you are the best at telling it." Ayame said.
"Ok, Mikoni was the best mercenary in the sisterhood of JM, (Japanese Mercenary's) she worked alone and looked down on everyone," Sango said, closing her eyes.
"Until one day when she was given a mission to get an ordinary business man." Kagome said, helping the story.
"Hey I am telling the story! Now leaving from where Kagome left off, she infiltrated as one of his business guest, and they met every day for a week." Sango said, giving Kagome the evil eye.
"She was supposing to kill him on the first night but something stopped her, but she couldn't bring herself to kill him no matter how much she tried." Ayame said, receiving a death glare from Sango.
"On the seventh day of the week, she resigned from the job; she was the first mercenary ever to do so." Kagome said, and then was chased by Sango.
"She resigned to be with the man, but it wasn't for long, for on the next day she was killed by the very man who hired her." Ayame said, and joined Kagome being chased.
"The man wasn't killed for they wanted him to suffer by living a life without his love; he eventually went crazy and killed himself." Sango said, tripping Kagome and Ayame.
"Right after that there was the new law that no mercenary can resign from a job, for the worry that others would follow Mikoni path." Kagome said, holding her head.
"What a terrible story." Rin said, looking down at the ground.
The girls continued walking.
"Yes, but that is the life of a mercenary." Kagome said a sad look on her face.
"Let's just forget about that and do our job, we have procrastinated long enough, Naraku is going to be mad if we exceeded our amount of time." Ayame said.
"Yes, it has already been three days since we took the job." Rin said, looking worried.
(Ok it has been like a weekend thing.)
~~~~ The Ya4 ~~~~
"Do you think it was such a good idea to invite them to our house?" Inuyasha said, looking over at his brothers.
"Well it wouldn't have been the first time our money would have gotten us in trouble." Koga said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Yes, but they don't pose that much of a threat, they are just four teenaged girls!" Miroku said a smile on his face.
Inuyasha picked up a coaster and threw it at Miroku hitting him square in the face.
"Yes but if there is more to them then what they seem, we are in trouble." Sesshomaru said.
"Well lets just be on our guard, don't let any of them get to you." Koga said.
"Oh, yeah, well, I didn't know hand holding and hugging were part of today's gym class." Inuyasha said, trying to hold back a laugh as his brothers face turns red.
"Well I um, what about you and Kagome you were looking pretty friendly with your hand around her shoulder under the sakura tree!" Koga said, trying to get the spotlight off him.
Inuyasha blushed, "What about Miroku and Sango sharing a soda at lunch." Inuyasha said, with an evil smirk on his face.
Miroku was unprepared for this and gulped.
"I can't believe my own brothers would sink as low as to actually show feelings for people they just met." Sesshomaru said a dignified look on his face.
"HEY FLUFFY!" Rin said, coming up behind him hugging his neck.
Sesshomaru looked like someone had just shot him in the foot.
"Fluffy has some explaining to do!" Inuyasha said, rolling up his sleeve.
Sesshomaru looked at all three of his brothers who looked like they were going to hurt him.
"Rin I think it is time we leave!" Sesshomaru said, scooping up Rin bridal style and running out the open window upstairs.
"Did we miss something?" Kagome said, looking at the three brothers who now had sweat drops.
"Well Inuyasha you still have something to explain." Miroku said, breaking the silence.
"Yeah." Koga said, and then looked at where Inuyasha had been.
"Where did he go?" Miroku said, looking around.
"Where is Kagome?" Sango said, looking at the spot Kagome used to be.
"She left her note book." Ayame said, holding up a blue note book, with little hearts, with Inuyasha name in it.
Sango and Ayame looked at the notebook with wide eyes.
"What is on the notebook?" Miroku said, walking over to Sango.
"Nothing!" Ayame said, grabbing the notebook and throwing it out the window and into the convertible.
"But.." Miroku said, but Sango grabbed him and gave a warning look.
"Why don't we get going on that science project!" Miroku said, and then ran out the door with Sango close behind.
"ok that was random." Ayame said, looking at the spot Sango and Miroku had just been.
"We come on lets go, I have some things ready for our country." Koga said, offering Ayame his arm
"Great, let's go!" Ayame said, accepting his arm with a smile on her face.
~~~~ Fluffy and Rin ~~~~ (this one is for you MintlovesSR)
Fluffy jumped up a couple floors till they arrived at a room with gold walls, a computer and desk, mirror, love seat (couch), coffee table, tree, balcony, fire place, a grandfather clock, and a huge picture of a beautiful woman.
"Wow this is a beautiful room." Rin said, walking around and then stopped to look at the picture.
"Thanks, do you like that picture?" Sesshomaru said, waking up next to Rin.
"Yes, she is beautiful, who is she?" Rin said, looking at her face.
The woman in the picture had long black hair flowing down to the ground, she had blue eyeliner and brown eyes, and she had many layers in her kimono, which was a beautiful red. She had very little color in her skin but only added to the beauty, she had what looked like a very small smile on her face.
"She was my mother." Sesshomaru said, his hair covering his eyes.
"Oh I am sorry." Rin said, looking away.
"No don't feel bad it happened along time ago." Sesshomaru said hugging Rin from the back.
"Thanks, I thought I hurt you." Rin said, turning around, looking up into his golden eyes.
Her eyes enchanted Sesshomaru they held each other close.
Sesshomaru leaned in closer.
"Sesshomaru..." Rin said, but then was silenced by his lips.
Rin closed her eyes and kissed him back.
Suddenly the clock chimed seven.
They separated immediately a blush on their faces.
"I guess we should get that project done." Rin said, trying to hide the blush on her face.
"Yeah!" Sesshomaru said, walking over to the computer.
'Oh boy the girls are going to kill me. However, for some reason I do not really care, I seem... Oh, no I am becoming like Mikoni! I have to go threw with the killing though, if I do not only will Sesshomaru and I be killed but also all my sisters will, I cannot do that to them. My bond to my sisters is supposed to be the strongest thing in the entire world to a mercenary. I could never live with myself know that I caused the death of my sisters. I have to go threw with the mission. I just hope I can.' Rin thought, touching her lips and walking over to Sesshomaru with tears in her eyes.
~~~~ Sango and Miroku ~~~~
Sango and Miroku walked down the many hallways to a room identical to Sesshomaru's room except that the main colors were black and purple.
"So Sango, what country do you want to do?" Miroku said, trying to get a hand behind
"I don't know, haven't thought about it." Sango said, staring out the window.
"How about France it is the country of Love." Miroku said, hooking an arm around Sango's shoulder.
Sango blushed.
"Ok what kind of food?" Sango said, leaning in and putting her head on Miroku's shoulder.
"Um how about bread, we have a cook here that can make the best bread you ever tasted." Miroku said, looking into her eyes.
"Sounds good." Sango said, putting her face just a little closer to his.
"You have the best eyes." Miroku said, leaning his face to meet Sango.
Miroku and Sango closed their eyes and put their arms around each other.
"Sir I have the, oh my, I am sorry!" The house cleaner said, and then ran out the door.
Miroku and Sango pulled apart and had huge blushes along with smiles on their faces.
'The first time I get to kiss a girl and she doesn't slap me, and a house keeper walks in! I AM CURSED!' Miroku thought.
"Time to get to work on the history of the bread." Sango said, walking over to the computer.
Miroku got a laptop from couch.
'I can't believe I got my first kiss, from my target none the less. I am going to be in so much trouble, it is forbidden to have a relationship with a target! My sisters and I will be in grate danger.' Sango thought as she looked around the room and the forest to see if there was any sign of another mercenary or spy. Once satisfied her began to type, but all that was going in her mind was Miroku.
'I never thought I would ever find another mercenary like Mikoni, let alone that is would be me. What am I going do?' Sango said, looking over at Miroku will a frown, and tear coming out her eyes.
~~~ Ayame and Koga ~~~ (There is a little bit of history of their group in here!)
Ayame and Koga slowly walked down the mansion.
"So what country do you want to do?" Ayame said, walking hand and hand with Koga.
"Um how about Poland, that would be something no one has done. Koga said, putting a hand on the back of his neck.
"Sounds good, then how about we make Pirogues !" Ayame said.
(ok for though of you who don't know what Pirogues are they are potatoes in noodles with a little bit of cheese in the potatoes, served normally with onions. I am polish so I have these when my grandmother makes them. One word YUM! That is my opinion! Sorry about the spelling of them I could not find the right way to spell them so I just let spell checker decide.)
"I take it you like them." Koga said, laughing a little.
"Yeah my mom used to make them." Ayame said, a tear falling from her eyes.
"Hey it's ok, my mom died a long time ago to but now I have my brothers. I see them every day at school and dinner, so it isn't like I am totally alone and you have your friends Kagome, Rin, Sango and now you have me." Koga said, pulling her into a hug.
"You mean that you only see your brothers at school and dinner, don't you ever get lonely?" Ayame said, propping herself up a little to look into his eyes.
"I couldn't live like that, being alone, again." Ayame said, saying the last part very, very softly.
Koga took Ayame and kissed her softly and Ayame depend the kiss, remember some afoul memory's, she needed him right now.
Flash Back – (This is how Ayame became a mercenary and met her sister.)
A ten-year-old Ayame was in an ordinary looking house, on a couch watching television.
"Ayame time for lunch!" A young woman called from what was the kitchen of the house.
"Coming haha!" Ayame said, happily.
Ayame turned off the television and ran to the door, only to trip on the control.
She heard a door being knocked down in the kitchen.
"Who are you, what do you want." Her mother said.
Ayame ran to the door quietly and then looked threw a crack to the kitchen.
What she was three men cornering her mother.
"You really thought that you could escape, you owe us your first born child, which was the agreement. Now instead of taking your child we shall kill you then it." The man said, with long dark hair and red eyes. He brought out a gun and shot her mother in her head.
"AYAME RUN!" The mother got out before she was killed.
Ayame backed away from the door and ran out an open window.
"There she is get her!" The man said, as his two sidekicks ran after her.
Ayame ran behind the house to the woods.
"Get her!" She kept hearing behind her.
Ayame just kept running, getting scratched and hurt from all the moku.
She came to a river, the currant very fast.
She heard the men just a little bit behind her and she turned to the river again.
She gulped and dove in.
Ten seconds later the men arrived.
"She is gone, she must have jumped in." One of the men said.
"she will die that river currant is to strong for a little girl." The other man said.
"Look if anyone asked, we killed her." The headman said, and they turned around and walked out of the woods.
About five miles down the river Ayame crawled up the bank, gasping badly.
~~~ 3 weeks later ~~~
Ayame was barley surviving on berries and ect..., which she found in the woods.
"Don't let him get away!" She heard a young girl scream.
Ayame ran over to be she heard it and hid behind a tree.
She saw two young girls her age, one with a bow, one with a boomerang.
"I got him!" The girl with the bow said, and hit the man in the collar with her arrow.
The girl with the pink shields came up and knocked him out.
He fell to the ground.
"Sango we have company." The girl with blue shields said, looking around.
"Where is it Kagome?" Sango said, getting her sword out.
Ayame tried to back away.
"There!" Kagome screamed and Sango jumped in front of Ayame.
"Who are you!" Sango said, holding out her sword to Ayame.
Ayame put her arms in front of her head.
"Sango down, looks like she is hurt." Kagome said, running over to her friend.
"Hi, I am Kagome who are you?" Kagome said, holding out her hand.
Ayame cautiously put out her hand.
"I am Ayame." She said, in a scared tone.
"What are you doing here." Sango said, her hand still on her sword hilt.
"My mother was killed and three men chased me down here, I have been here for three weeks. I am really lost." Ayame said, tears starting to come out of her eyes.
"It is ok, why don't you come with us?" Kagome said, helping Ayame up.
Ayame nodded and looked at Sango.
Sango had walked over and picked up the knocked out man.
"Sango is nice once you earn her trust." Kagome said, closing her eyes in a friendly manner.
~~~ after they dropped off the guy and are at the mansion ~~~
"Ayame do you have any experience in fighting?" Kagome said, sitting on the couch.
"I have a little bit of experience in karate." Ayame said, shyly.
"Perfect, Ayame would you like to join our group?" Sango said, extending a hand to her.
"Yes, I don't have anyone's on earth, I really need some family." Ayame said, a smile on her face and extended her hand.
"Then welcome sister." Kagome said, hugging Ayame and Sango.
"Yes welcome sister Ayame." Sango said, a smile on her face.
End flashback –
'Yes that is how I became a mercenary and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love my sisters more than anything does. No, matter what I refuse to put them in danger. However, Koga is so sweet, how can I possibly betray him? No, I must kill him, for the safety of my sisters and me. I just hope I can.' Ayame thought ending the kiss.
Koga wiped the tears from her eyes and hugs her tight.
~~~ Kagome and Inuyasha ~~~
Kagome and Inuyasha had arrived at the room identical to Miroku and Sesshomaru's.
They were all done with their project and gave the recipe to housekeeper to give to the cook.
"So now what do you want to do?" Kagome said, her head on Inuyasha's should, him rubbing her back slowly.
"I am quiet content here." Inuyasha said, looking at Kagome.
Kagome raised her eyes to meet Inuyasha's.
"You have beautiful eyes." Inuyasha said, leaning down to Kagome.
Kagome blushed, but could not get away form his eyes.
'I am suppose to be the leader of our group and here I am falling in love with my target. However, I cannot help it he treats me like a real person instead of what a usual man would treat a woman. He treats me like someone he has know for his whole life,' Kagome thought and leaned up to meet his lips and she closed her eyes.
(Ok I watched a program on how Japanese men with geisha's and they said it was a great honor to have an affair with a geisha! I do not get that, and I do not want to get it! That is what I am getting that part out of.)
'No I have to kill him, if I don't our whole family will be killed, I can't do that to my sisters.' Kagome thought touching the knife but backed away like It was made of hot coal.
'I cant, I do not want to!' Kagome thought as she now put the hand on Inuyasha's back.
Kagomes eyes suddenly shot open, she sensed it.
'There is a great evil power here.' Kagome thought and reluctantly pulled away from Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha I have to get my notebook! The girls could black mail me for a year with what is in there." Kagome said, giving Inuyasha a quick kiss and then running out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Note~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok all groups have finished there projects and now are just relaxing in the rooms on opposite ends of the mansion. The room she is running to is in the middle of the castle on the top floor, which is four floors up. These girls all have super senses but Kagomes is the sharpest.
~~~~~~~~~Back to Kagome~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome ran down the halls, closing her eyes trying to sense where the power was coming from.
She ran stairway after stairway going up and down left and right.
"They are just toying with me, I need to know where the real power is coming from." Kagome said, stopping and concentrating on where the grates power was coming from.
"There!" Kagome said, running down a hallway grabbing her knife and kicking down the door.
The room was a circle shape with stained glass windows with angles in them. It was dark the only light coming from the moon which made the room look half-colorful half dark.
(Ok for though of you who know Sailor Moon, that is where I am getting the designs it is in the final battle of the Neptune-Uranus series)
Kagome walked into the room and tried to sense where the power is coming from.
"Welcome Kagome Higurashi," A creepy voice said, seeming to come from everywhere.
Kagome got in fighting stance and tried to find where the power was coming from.
'This power seems to come from everywhere, how can I defend when I am angst an enemy that is everywhere.' Kagome thought, dodging a blow from a co nor of the room.
"Who are you?" Kagome said, attacking the Connor only to find that it was empty.
"The leader of the great Crimson doesn't even know that, your reputation is too high." The voice said, hitting Kagomes arm with a bullet.
"Ah!" Kagome screamed, she grasped her shoulder in pain, but got up to fight.
'that voice sounded different from the first one, does that mean there is more than one fighter in this room?' Kagome though, dodging a round of bullets shot at her.
~~~~~ Everyone else ~~~~
Sango, Rin and Ayame heads shot up when they heard the scream.
"Kagome is in trouble." They all said, and ran out the door.
The men followed them but were being left behind.
~~~~ Kagome ~~~~~
Kagome had been hit on her arm and could no longer hold the knife.
'How am I going to get out of this one?' Kagome thought, as she jumped and kept being scratched by the bullets.
Kagome landed on one knee holding one arm.
"The leader of the great Crimson killers, down on one knee in front of her enemy." The voice said, laughingly.
"No, we are not killers, we just hurt them so they will not put up a fight." Kagome said, trying not to be fooled by the voice.
"That may be what you think, but do you really think that is true." The voice said, coming up behind her.
Kagome jumped out of the way of the bullet.
"You shall die for all the lives you have taken." The voice said, aiming from three different directions and aimed at Kagomes head.
"Oh no you don't!" three voices came.
Kagome looked up to see her sisters protecting her.
"Well if it isn't the whole family?" The voices said, circling them,
"Kagome what is going on?" Rin asked, holding her knife up to defend against bullets.
"I sensed a great power and followed it to here, girls these people know everything about us, and are trying to kill us." Kagome said, holding her arm and standing in the middle of the girls.
"We have to fight them." Rin said, attacking a place where the bullets were coming from.
"Ah!" Rin screamed, she had been shot in her leg.
~~~~~~~~ Ya4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Koga, and Miroku had met up looking for the girls.
"Kagome said that she had to go get a notebook, but had a very weird look on her face, so I followed her." Inuyasha said, following Kagomes scent down the hallways.
"Yeah well Sango just ran out of the room after saying 'Kagome is in danger'." Miroku said, trying to keep up with the rest.
"I smell blood." Inuyasha said, running on all fours now.
The rest joined him and ran faster.
The came to a door.
"It won't come down!" Sesshomaru said, pounding against the door with his shoulder.
"Sesshomaru get out of the way!" Inuyasha said, and brought out the Tetsusaiga.
"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha said, as the door disincarnated.
What they came upon was Rin blocking bullets with a knife, while blood coming out of her leg.
Ayame had her knife holding up a gun trying to fight back but almost being shot in the head. She was bleeding from her shoulder but was still fighting.
Kagome was holding her arm and jumping away from the bullets being shot.
Sango was without a weapon and was down on one leg, she was knocked out and being protected by Rin.
"What is going on?" Inuyasha said, everyone looked at him.
"Inuyasha, help." Kagome said, falling down on one leg.
"We shall meet again." The figure said, and flew out the open window on a feather with Sango in tow.
"Sango, no!" Kagome said, trying to jump to get her, but only getting an inch before falling down on her back.
Ayame fell to the ground.
"Sango, no." Ayame screamed, tears coming out of her eyes,
Ayame fell unconscious.
Rin fell to the ground, but Sesshomaru caught her before she hit the ground.
"Kagome, Kagome, what is going on." Inuyasha asked trying to comfort her.
"Inuyasha, take us home, we can't go to a hospital, we need to get ready and you guys need to get to a safe location." Kagome said, handing Inuyasha a cell phone.
"Dial the first number; tell him it is a complete emergency from rain." Kagome said, and then fell unconscious.
Inuyasha looked at his brothers, "What should we do?" Inuyasha said, tears coming from his eyes as he held Kagome tight.
"Do you trust her?" Sesshomaru asked, no expression except for sadness over Rin, who was now resting in his arms.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome.
"Yes, she wouldn't trust me like this, unless she trusted me, so I shall trust her." Inuyasha said sureness in his voice.
Inuyasha open the cell phone and pressed one.
"Hello, Lady Kagome?" A voice said from the other end.
"This is Inuyasha Yayon; Kagome is badly hurt and told me to call you." Inuyasha said, moving a piece of hair from her face.
"What about the other three Crimson?" The voice said, worry in his voice.
"Ayame and Rin are in the same condition and Sango was kidnapped." Inuyasha told him, looking over at Miroku who was looking at the spot where she was taken.
"Someone will be over momentarily, come with them." The voice said, and then hung up.
"I wonder if they live close." Koga said, sitting down with Ayame in his arms.
"I don't know, but why wouldn't they want us to take them to a hospital." Sesshomaru said.
"What did those three people want with the girls?" Koga said, tears in his blue eyes.
They heard a helicopter land outside and ran out with the girls.
"Get in now!" a voice said, waving them in.
The Ya4 went inside the helicopter and the girls rested in their arms.
"It's my entire fault." Inuyasha heard Kagome whisper repeatedly.
"Kagome, what was all that about." Inuyasha said, sitting Kagome up so that her shoulder would not pain her as much.
"I have let my sisters down; Sango will die because of me." Kagome said, in a dead tone.
"I think I can explain." A man said, appearing in a butler's suit.
"Who are you?" Inuyasha said, bringing Kagome back into a protective holding.
"I am James, a friend of the girls; I can see Kagome is in no form to tell you anything." James said no expression on his face.
"Who were though people attacking us, why were they after the girls, where was Sango taken!" Miroku said a sad look on his face.
"I will answer you questions to the best of my ability, we still don't know who the people were, but they were obviously skilled. The girls haven't lost a battle for as long as I have known them." James said, looking like he was in deep thought.
"What do you mean they haven't lost a battle?" Sesshomaru said, looking down at Rin's face.
"Well, Kagome must have a good reason for intrusting you, for she hasn't done that with anyone but her sisters. So I shall tell you their secret which you must never utter again." James said, he could feel them descending.
"They are mercenaries, not by choice, but under force." James said, sadness infiltrating his eyes.
"Mercenaries?" Koga said, looking at Ayame with disbelief.
"Come we must get the girls into the medical room." James said, opening the door.
Inuyasha and the others were still in a state of shock.
James led them to a secure room, threw many hallways down into a safe door open room.
There Kagome, Ayame and Rin where taken away into the light of the room.
"Wait, where are they going?" Inuyasha said, trying to run after them but, being stopped by two of the nurses.
"You shall see them after surgery and then you may see them." James said, leading them upstairs.
"I shall tell you the story of the Crimson sisters." James said.
~~~~~~~~Japanese Translation ~~~~~~~
haha – mother
moku – tree/wood
~~~~~~~~Preview~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha and the others learn about the girls past. Kagome is convinced that Sango being kidnapped is her fault. Now she is trying to go out of battle, it is up to Inuyasha to stop her before she kills herself. Miroku has gone into a state of depression. What he has gone to find Sango by himself? Can they save him before he kills himself? Sesshomaru is helping Rin with her past. Ayame is still unconscious. The girls are attacked again; can the boys save the girls before it is too late?
~~~~~~Final Note ~~~~~~
I am so sorry this was so late, but I have been busy and it would have been posted on Saturday if Ashley had not showed up and deleted it! I have been working on this chapter and there is a big battle coming up. I do not know weather it will be next chapter or the one after that. Probably chapter 4, because the next is going to be dealing with Miroku/Sango situation, the people finding out and helping the girls. However, I could use suggestions, because I do not know what you want! So I am guessing her, I will put extra romance scenes in the next chapter if you ask, but be specific. Oh, I want some happy birthdays! My birthday is May 3rd! I WANT HAPPY BIRTHDAYS OR I WILL NOT UPDATE! Thanks a lot!
Love,
Sakurascent

MintlovesSR – I made a special Sesshy Rin thing in here, which I rather made for the rest but you help me think of doing it for the eight characters.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ recap ~~~~~
Kikyo has snuck in the building, the group is now entering the mansion and the girls are ready to do the killing.
(Yeah I know sucky recap but give me a break I cannot remember what I wrote!)
~~~~~~~~ U~V ~~~~~~~
Chapter 3 - Shot, yet loved.
~~~~ U~V ~~~
Kikyo watched the girls walk into the house and smiled.
'They don't suspect a thing.' Kikyo thought jumping in an open window near the tree.
Kagome stopped an inch from the door and looked up.
"Hey Kag is something wrong?" Rin said, walking over to her friend.
"I thought I sensed something." Kagome said, still looking up at the window.
"Kagome you have been over work for a while, remember the roof, you are probably just imagining things." Sango said, walking over to her friend.
"Maybe you right." Kagome said, and then walked with her friends into the house.
~~~~ Kikyo ~~~~~
"I thought there was a reason she was the leader, so I am going to have to hide my powers, and Kagura and Kanna that goes for you to." Kikyo said, looking at her accomplices.
"There is a power in her that we are not aware of, we should be careful and take her out first." Kagura said, closing her fan.
"We shouldn't attack them all at once, they will over power us." Kanna said, they all nodded and then disappeared.
~~~~ Kagome ~~~~
"So what country are you girls doing?" Kagome asked, smiling at her friends.
"Well Fluffy and I are do Japan and a stir fry." Rin said a huge smile on her face.
"Fluffy is that a nick name!" Ayame said, blocking Rin's path.
"Well..."Rin said, taking a step back.
"Doesn't sound like a nick name, sounds like a pet name!" Kagome said, joining Ayame.
"Rin you were the last one I would have suspected to fall in love with her target, you know the rules." Sango said, pulling Kagome and Ayame away from Rin so they could keep walking.
"Are you thinking of the story of Mikoni?" Kagome said, looking over at her friend.
"Who is Mikoni?" Rin said.
"Oh yeah, you came in to late to hear the legend about her." Ayame said, seeming to be in a different world.
"How do you know that it is a legend?" Kagome said, looking over at Ayame.
"Well someone tell me what the legend is!" Rin said, standing in front of all of them.
"Sango you are the best at telling it." Ayame said.
"Ok, Mikoni was the best mercenary in the sisterhood of JM, (Japanese Mercenary's) she worked alone and looked down on everyone," Sango said, closing her eyes.
"Until one day when she was given a mission to get an ordinary business man." Kagome said, helping the story.
"Hey I am telling the story! Now leaving from where Kagome left off, she infiltrated as one of his business guest, and they met every day for a week." Sango said, giving Kagome the evil eye.
"She was supposing to kill him on the first night but something stopped her, but she couldn't bring herself to kill him no matter how much she tried." Ayame said, receiving a death glare from Sango.
"On the seventh day of the week, she resigned from the job; she was the first mercenary ever to do so." Kagome said, and then was chased by Sango.
"She resigned to be with the man, but it wasn't for long, for on the next day she was killed by the very man who hired her." Ayame said, and joined Kagome being chased.
"The man wasn't killed for they wanted him to suffer by living a life without his love; he eventually went crazy and killed himself." Sango said, tripping Kagome and Ayame.
"Right after that there was the new law that no mercenary can resign from a job, for the worry that others would follow Mikoni path." Kagome said, holding her head.
"What a terrible story." Rin said, looking down at the ground.
The girls continued walking.
"Yes, but that is the life of a mercenary." Kagome said a sad look on her face.
"Let's just forget about that and do our job, we have procrastinated long enough, Naraku is going to be mad if we exceeded our amount of time." Ayame said.
"Yes, it has already been three days since we took the job." Rin said, looking worried.
(Ok it has been like a weekend thing.)
~~~~ The Ya4 ~~~~
"Do you think it was such a good idea to invite them to our house?" Inuyasha said, looking over at his brothers.
"Well it wouldn't have been the first time our money would have gotten us in trouble." Koga said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Yes, but they don't pose that much of a threat, they are just four teenaged girls!" Miroku said a smile on his face.
Inuyasha picked up a coaster and threw it at Miroku hitting him square in the face.
"Yes but if there is more to them then what they seem, we are in trouble." Sesshomaru said.
"Well lets just be on our guard, don't let any of them get to you." Koga said.
"Oh, yeah, well, I didn't know hand holding and hugging were part of today's gym class." Inuyasha said, trying to hold back a laugh as his brothers face turns red.
"Well I um, what about you and Kagome you were looking pretty friendly with your hand around her shoulder under the sakura tree!" Koga said, trying to get the spotlight off him.
Inuyasha blushed, "What about Miroku and Sango sharing a soda at lunch." Inuyasha said, with an evil smirk on his face.
Miroku was unprepared for this and gulped.
"I can't believe my own brothers would sink as low as to actually show feelings for people they just met." Sesshomaru said a dignified look on his face.
"HEY FLUFFY!" Rin said, coming up behind him hugging his neck.
Sesshomaru looked like someone had just shot him in the foot.
"Fluffy has some explaining to do!" Inuyasha said, rolling up his sleeve.
Sesshomaru looked at all three of his brothers who looked like they were going to hurt him.
"Rin I think it is time we leave!" Sesshomaru said, scooping up Rin bridal style and running out the open window upstairs.
"Did we miss something?" Kagome said, looking at the three brothers who now had sweat drops.
"Well Inuyasha you still have something to explain." Miroku said, breaking the silence.
"Yeah." Koga said, and then looked at where Inuyasha had been.
"Where did he go?" Miroku said, looking around.
"Where is Kagome?" Sango said, looking at the spot Kagome used to be.
"She left her note book." Ayame said, holding up a blue note book, with little hearts, with Inuyasha name in it.
Sango and Ayame looked at the notebook with wide eyes.
"What is on the notebook?" Miroku said, walking over to Sango.
"Nothing!" Ayame said, grabbing the notebook and throwing it out the window and into the convertible.
"But.." Miroku said, but Sango grabbed him and gave a warning look.
"Why don't we get going on that science project!" Miroku said, and then ran out the door with Sango close behind.
"ok that was random." Ayame said, looking at the spot Sango and Miroku had just been.
"We come on lets go, I have some things ready for our country." Koga said, offering Ayame his arm
"Great, let's go!" Ayame said, accepting his arm with a smile on her face.
~~~~ Fluffy and Rin ~~~~ (this one is for you MintlovesSR)
Fluffy jumped up a couple floors till they arrived at a room with gold walls, a computer and desk, mirror, love seat (couch), coffee table, tree, balcony, fire place, a grandfather clock, and a huge picture of a beautiful woman.
"Wow this is a beautiful room." Rin said, walking around and then stopped to look at the picture.
"Thanks, do you like that picture?" Sesshomaru said, waking up next to Rin.
"Yes, she is beautiful, who is she?" Rin said, looking at her face.
The woman in the picture had long black hair flowing down to the ground, she had blue eyeliner and brown eyes, and she had many layers in her kimono, which was a beautiful red. She had very little color in her skin but only added to the beauty, she had what looked like a very small smile on her face.
"She was my mother." Sesshomaru said, his hair covering his eyes.
"Oh I am sorry." Rin said, looking away.
"No don't feel bad it happened along time ago." Sesshomaru said hugging Rin from the back.
"Thanks, I thought I hurt you." Rin said, turning around, looking up into his golden eyes.
Her eyes enchanted Sesshomaru they held each other close.
Sesshomaru leaned in closer.
"Sesshomaru..." Rin said, but then was silenced by his lips.
Rin closed her eyes and kissed him back.
Suddenly the clock chimed seven.
They separated immediately a blush on their faces.
"I guess we should get that project done." Rin said, trying to hide the blush on her face.
"Yeah!" Sesshomaru said, walking over to the computer.
'Oh boy the girls are going to kill me. However, for some reason I do not really care, I seem... Oh, no I am becoming like Mikoni! I have to go threw with the killing though, if I do not only will Sesshomaru and I be killed but also all my sisters will, I cannot do that to them. My bond to my sisters is supposed to be the strongest thing in the entire world to a mercenary. I could never live with myself know that I caused the death of my sisters. I have to go threw with the mission. I just hope I can.' Rin thought, touching her lips and walking over to Sesshomaru with tears in her eyes.
~~~~ Sango and Miroku ~~~~
Sango and Miroku walked down the many hallways to a room identical to Sesshomaru's room except that the main colors were black and purple.
"So Sango, what country do you want to do?" Miroku said, trying to get a hand behind
"I don't know, haven't thought about it." Sango said, staring out the window.
"How about France it is the country of Love." Miroku said, hooking an arm around Sango's shoulder.
Sango blushed.
"Ok what kind of food?" Sango said, leaning in and putting her head on Miroku's shoulder.
"Um how about bread, we have a cook here that can make the best bread you ever tasted." Miroku said, looking into her eyes.
"Sounds good." Sango said, putting her face just a little closer to his.
"You have the best eyes." Miroku said, leaning his face to meet Sango.
Miroku and Sango closed their eyes and put their arms around each other.
"Sir I have the, oh my, I am sorry!" The house cleaner said, and then ran out the door.
Miroku and Sango pulled apart and had huge blushes along with smiles on their faces.
'The first time I get to kiss a girl and she doesn't slap me, and a house keeper walks in! I AM CURSED!' Miroku thought.
"Time to get to work on the history of the bread." Sango said, walking over to the computer.
Miroku got a laptop from couch.
'I can't believe I got my first kiss, from my target none the less. I am going to be in so much trouble, it is forbidden to have a relationship with a target! My sisters and I will be in grate danger.' Sango thought as she looked around the room and the forest to see if there was any sign of another mercenary or spy. Once satisfied her began to type, but all that was going in her mind was Miroku.
'I never thought I would ever find another mercenary like Mikoni, let alone that is would be me. What am I going do?' Sango said, looking over at Miroku will a frown, and tear coming out her eyes.
~~~ Ayame and Koga ~~~ (There is a little bit of history of their group in here!)
Ayame and Koga slowly walked down the mansion.
"So what country do you want to do?" Ayame said, walking hand and hand with Koga.
"Um how about Poland, that would be something no one has done. Koga said, putting a hand on the back of his neck.
"Sounds good, then how about we make Pirogues !" Ayame said.
(ok for though of you who don't know what Pirogues are they are potatoes in noodles with a little bit of cheese in the potatoes, served normally with onions. I am polish so I have these when my grandmother makes them. One word YUM! That is my opinion! Sorry about the spelling of them I could not find the right way to spell them so I just let spell checker decide.)
"I take it you like them." Koga said, laughing a little.
"Yeah my mom used to make them." Ayame said, a tear falling from her eyes.
"Hey it's ok, my mom died a long time ago to but now I have my brothers. I see them every day at school and dinner, so it isn't like I am totally alone and you have your friends Kagome, Rin, Sango and now you have me." Koga said, pulling her into a hug.
"You mean that you only see your brothers at school and dinner, don't you ever get lonely?" Ayame said, propping herself up a little to look into his eyes.
"I couldn't live like that, being alone, again." Ayame said, saying the last part very, very softly.
Koga took Ayame and kissed her softly and Ayame depend the kiss, remember some afoul memory's, she needed him right now.
Flash Back – (This is how Ayame became a mercenary and met her sister.)
A ten-year-old Ayame was in an ordinary looking house, on a couch watching television.
"Ayame time for lunch!" A young woman called from what was the kitchen of the house.
"Coming haha!" Ayame said, happily.
Ayame turned off the television and ran to the door, only to trip on the control.
She heard a door being knocked down in the kitchen.
"Who are you, what do you want." Her mother said.
Ayame ran to the door quietly and then looked threw a crack to the kitchen.
What she was three men cornering her mother.
"You really thought that you could escape, you owe us your first born child, which was the agreement. Now instead of taking your child we shall kill you then it." The man said, with long dark hair and red eyes. He brought out a gun and shot her mother in her head.
"AYAME RUN!" The mother got out before she was killed.
Ayame backed away from the door and ran out an open window.
"There she is get her!" The man said, as his two sidekicks ran after her.
Ayame ran behind the house to the woods.
"Get her!" She kept hearing behind her.
Ayame just kept running, getting scratched and hurt from all the moku.
She came to a river, the currant very fast.
She heard the men just a little bit behind her and she turned to the river again.
She gulped and dove in.
Ten seconds later the men arrived.
"She is gone, she must have jumped in." One of the men said.
"she will die that river currant is to strong for a little girl." The other man said.
"Look if anyone asked, we killed her." The headman said, and they turned around and walked out of the woods.
About five miles down the river Ayame crawled up the bank, gasping badly.
~~~ 3 weeks later ~~~
Ayame was barley surviving on berries and ect..., which she found in the woods.
"Don't let him get away!" She heard a young girl scream.
Ayame ran over to be she heard it and hid behind a tree.
She saw two young girls her age, one with a bow, one with a boomerang.
"I got him!" The girl with the bow said, and hit the man in the collar with her arrow.
The girl with the pink shields came up and knocked him out.
He fell to the ground.
"Sango we have company." The girl with blue shields said, looking around.
"Where is it Kagome?" Sango said, getting her sword out.
Ayame tried to back away.
"There!" Kagome screamed and Sango jumped in front of Ayame.
"Who are you!" Sango said, holding out her sword to Ayame.
Ayame put her arms in front of her head.
"Sango down, looks like she is hurt." Kagome said, running over to her friend.
"Hi, I am Kagome who are you?" Kagome said, holding out her hand.
Ayame cautiously put out her hand.
"I am Ayame." She said, in a scared tone.
"What are you doing here." Sango said, her hand still on her sword hilt.
"My mother was killed and three men chased me down here, I have been here for three weeks. I am really lost." Ayame said, tears starting to come out of her eyes.
"It is ok, why don't you come with us?" Kagome said, helping Ayame up.
Ayame nodded and looked at Sango.
Sango had walked over and picked up the knocked out man.
"Sango is nice once you earn her trust." Kagome said, closing her eyes in a friendly manner.
~~~ after they dropped off the guy and are at the mansion ~~~
"Ayame do you have any experience in fighting?" Kagome said, sitting on the couch.
"I have a little bit of experience in karate." Ayame said, shyly.
"Perfect, Ayame would you like to join our group?" Sango said, extending a hand to her.
"Yes, I don't have anyone's on earth, I really need some family." Ayame said, a smile on her face and extended her hand.
"Then welcome sister." Kagome said, hugging Ayame and Sango.
"Yes welcome sister Ayame." Sango said, a smile on her face.
End flashback –
'Yes that is how I became a mercenary and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love my sisters more than anything does. No, matter what I refuse to put them in danger. However, Koga is so sweet, how can I possibly betray him? No, I must kill him, for the safety of my sisters and me. I just hope I can.' Ayame thought ending the kiss.
Koga wiped the tears from her eyes and hugs her tight.
~~~ Kagome and Inuyasha ~~~
Kagome and Inuyasha had arrived at the room identical to Miroku and Sesshomaru's.
They were all done with their project and gave the recipe to housekeeper to give to the cook.
"So now what do you want to do?" Kagome said, her head on Inuyasha's should, him rubbing her back slowly.
"I am quiet content here." Inuyasha said, looking at Kagome.
Kagome raised her eyes to meet Inuyasha's.
"You have beautiful eyes." Inuyasha said, leaning down to Kagome.
Kagome blushed, but could not get away form his eyes.
'I am suppose to be the leader of our group and here I am falling in love with my target. However, I cannot help it he treats me like a real person instead of what a usual man would treat a woman. He treats me like someone he has know for his whole life,' Kagome thought and leaned up to meet his lips and she closed her eyes.
(Ok I watched a program on how Japanese men with geisha's and they said it was a great honor to have an affair with a geisha! I do not get that, and I do not want to get it! That is what I am getting that part out of.)
'No I have to kill him, if I don't our whole family will be killed, I can't do that to my sisters.' Kagome thought touching the knife but backed away like It was made of hot coal.
'I cant, I do not want to!' Kagome thought as she now put the hand on Inuyasha's back.
Kagomes eyes suddenly shot open, she sensed it.
'There is a great evil power here.' Kagome thought and reluctantly pulled away from Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha I have to get my notebook! The girls could black mail me for a year with what is in there." Kagome said, giving Inuyasha a quick kiss and then running out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Note~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok all groups have finished there projects and now are just relaxing in the rooms on opposite ends of the mansion. The room she is running to is in the middle of the castle on the top floor, which is four floors up. These girls all have super senses but Kagomes is the sharpest.
~~~~~~~~~Back to Kagome~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome ran down the halls, closing her eyes trying to sense where the power was coming from.
She ran stairway after stairway going up and down left and right.
"They are just toying with me, I need to know where the real power is coming from." Kagome said, stopping and concentrating on where the grates power was coming from.
"There!" Kagome said, running down a hallway grabbing her knife and kicking down the door.
The room was a circle shape with stained glass windows with angles in them. It was dark the only light coming from the moon which made the room look half-colorful half dark.
(Ok for though of you who know Sailor Moon, that is where I am getting the designs it is in the final battle of the Neptune-Uranus series)
Kagome walked into the room and tried to sense where the power is coming from.
"Welcome Kagome Higurashi," A creepy voice said, seeming to come from everywhere.
Kagome got in fighting stance and tried to find where the power was coming from.
'This power seems to come from everywhere, how can I defend when I am angst an enemy that is everywhere.' Kagome thought, dodging a blow from a co nor of the room.
"Who are you?" Kagome said, attacking the Connor only to find that it was empty.
"The leader of the great Crimson doesn't even know that, your reputation is too high." The voice said, hitting Kagomes arm with a bullet.
"Ah!" Kagome screamed, she grasped her shoulder in pain, but got up to fight.
'that voice sounded different from the first one, does that mean there is more than one fighter in this room?' Kagome though, dodging a round of bullets shot at her.
~~~~~ Everyone else ~~~~
Sango, Rin and Ayame heads shot up when they heard the scream.
"Kagome is in trouble." They all said, and ran out the door.
The men followed them but were being left behind.
~~~~ Kagome ~~~~~
Kagome had been hit on her arm and could no longer hold the knife.
'How am I going to get out of this one?' Kagome thought, as she jumped and kept being scratched by the bullets.
Kagome landed on one knee holding one arm.
"The leader of the great Crimson killers, down on one knee in front of her enemy." The voice said, laughingly.
"No, we are not killers, we just hurt them so they will not put up a fight." Kagome said, trying not to be fooled by the voice.
"That may be what you think, but do you really think that is true." The voice said, coming up behind her.
Kagome jumped out of the way of the bullet.
"You shall die for all the lives you have taken." The voice said, aiming from three different directions and aimed at Kagomes head.
"Oh no you don't!" three voices came.
Kagome looked up to see her sisters protecting her.
"Well if it isn't the whole family?" The voices said, circling them,
"Kagome what is going on?" Rin asked, holding her knife up to defend against bullets.
"I sensed a great power and followed it to here, girls these people know everything about us, and are trying to kill us." Kagome said, holding her arm and standing in the middle of the girls.
"We have to fight them." Rin said, attacking a place where the bullets were coming from.
"Ah!" Rin screamed, she had been shot in her leg.
~~~~~~~~ Ya4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Koga, and Miroku had met up looking for the girls.
"Kagome said that she had to go get a notebook, but had a very weird look on her face, so I followed her." Inuyasha said, following Kagomes scent down the hallways.
"Yeah well Sango just ran out of the room after saying 'Kagome is in danger'." Miroku said, trying to keep up with the rest.
"I smell blood." Inuyasha said, running on all fours now.
The rest joined him and ran faster.
The came to a door.
"It won't come down!" Sesshomaru said, pounding against the door with his shoulder.
"Sesshomaru get out of the way!" Inuyasha said, and brought out the Tetsusaiga.
"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha said, as the door disincarnated.
What they came upon was Rin blocking bullets with a knife, while blood coming out of her leg.
Ayame had her knife holding up a gun trying to fight back but almost being shot in the head. She was bleeding from her shoulder but was still fighting.
Kagome was holding her arm and jumping away from the bullets being shot.
Sango was without a weapon and was down on one leg, she was knocked out and being protected by Rin.
"What is going on?" Inuyasha said, everyone looked at him.
"Inuyasha, help." Kagome said, falling down on one leg.
"We shall meet again." The figure said, and flew out the open window on a feather with Sango in tow.
"Sango, no!" Kagome said, trying to jump to get her, but only getting an inch before falling down on her back.
Ayame fell to the ground.
"Sango, no." Ayame screamed, tears coming out of her eyes,
Ayame fell unconscious.
Rin fell to the ground, but Sesshomaru caught her before she hit the ground.
"Kagome, Kagome, what is going on." Inuyasha asked trying to comfort her.
"Inuyasha, take us home, we can't go to a hospital, we need to get ready and you guys need to get to a safe location." Kagome said, handing Inuyasha a cell phone.
"Dial the first number; tell him it is a complete emergency from rain." Kagome said, and then fell unconscious.
Inuyasha looked at his brothers, "What should we do?" Inuyasha said, tears coming from his eyes as he held Kagome tight.
"Do you trust her?" Sesshomaru asked, no expression except for sadness over Rin, who was now resting in his arms.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome.
"Yes, she wouldn't trust me like this, unless she trusted me, so I shall trust her." Inuyasha said sureness in his voice.
Inuyasha open the cell phone and pressed one.
"Hello, Lady Kagome?" A voice said from the other end.
"This is Inuyasha Yayon; Kagome is badly hurt and told me to call you." Inuyasha said, moving a piece of hair from her face.
"What about the other three Crimson?" The voice said, worry in his voice.
"Ayame and Rin are in the same condition and Sango was kidnapped." Inuyasha told him, looking over at Miroku who was looking at the spot where she was taken.
"Someone will be over momentarily, come with them." The voice said, and then hung up.
"I wonder if they live close." Koga said, sitting down with Ayame in his arms.
"I don't know, but why wouldn't they want us to take them to a hospital." Sesshomaru said.
"What did those three people want with the girls?" Koga said, tears in his blue eyes.
They heard a helicopter land outside and ran out with the girls.
"Get in now!" a voice said, waving them in.
The Ya4 went inside the helicopter and the girls rested in their arms.
"It's my entire fault." Inuyasha heard Kagome whisper repeatedly.
"Kagome, what was all that about." Inuyasha said, sitting Kagome up so that her shoulder would not pain her as much.
"I have let my sisters down; Sango will die because of me." Kagome said, in a dead tone.
"I think I can explain." A man said, appearing in a butler's suit.
"Who are you?" Inuyasha said, bringing Kagome back into a protective holding.
"I am James, a friend of the girls; I can see Kagome is in no form to tell you anything." James said no expression on his face.
"Who were though people attacking us, why were they after the girls, where was Sango taken!" Miroku said a sad look on his face.
"I will answer you questions to the best of my ability, we still don't know who the people were, but they were obviously skilled. The girls haven't lost a battle for as long as I have known them." James said, looking like he was in deep thought.
"What do you mean they haven't lost a battle?" Sesshomaru said, looking down at Rin's face.
"Well, Kagome must have a good reason for intrusting you, for she hasn't done that with anyone but her sisters. So I shall tell you their secret which you must never utter again." James said, he could feel them descending.
"They are mercenaries, not by choice, but under force." James said, sadness infiltrating his eyes.
"Mercenaries?" Koga said, looking at Ayame with disbelief.
"Come we must get the girls into the medical room." James said, opening the door.
Inuyasha and the others were still in a state of shock.
James led them to a secure room, threw many hallways down into a safe door open room.
There Kagome, Ayame and Rin where taken away into the light of the room.
"Wait, where are they going?" Inuyasha said, trying to run after them but, being stopped by two of the nurses.
"You shall see them after surgery and then you may see them." James said, leading them upstairs.
"I shall tell you the story of the Crimson sisters." James said.
~~~~~~~~Japanese Translation ~~~~~~~
haha – mother
moku – tree/wood
~~~~~~~~Preview~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha and the others learn about the girls past. Kagome is convinced that Sango being kidnapped is her fault. Now she is trying to go out of battle, it is up to Inuyasha to stop her before she kills herself. Miroku has gone into a state of depression. What he has gone to find Sango by himself? Can they save him before he kills himself? Sesshomaru is helping Rin with her past. Ayame is still unconscious. The girls are attacked again; can the boys save the girls before it is too late?
~~~~~~Final Note ~~~~~~
I am so sorry this was so late, but I have been busy and it would have been posted on Saturday if Ashley had not showed up and deleted it! I have been working on this chapter and there is a big battle coming up. I do not know weather it will be next chapter or the one after that. Probably chapter 4, because the next is going to be dealing with Miroku/Sango situation, the people finding out and helping the girls. However, I could use suggestions, because I do not know what you want! So I am guessing her, I will put extra romance scenes in the next chapter if you ask, but be specific. Oh, I want some happy birthdays! My birthday is May 3rd! I WANT HAPPY BIRTHDAYS OR I WILL NOT UPDATE! Thanks a lot!
Love,
Sakurascent
