"Sesshouma-who?!" Hakisuma and Hikari asked together at the nervous Kagome.

"Sesshoumaru...he is Inu Yasha's older brother. And not to mention evil. He is dangerous and has injured Inu Yasha quite seriously in past battles between them. He is after Inu Yasha's sword, the Tetsusaiga. He'll do anything to see Inu Yasha dead. Sesshoumaru had even formed a pact with Naraku!" Kagome explained wildly.

Hikari face was a downcast, 'Naraku...that demon...killed my parents and made the villagers hate me. He is the one that caused me to be exiled out of my own home...' Hikari looked up at Kagome, "Hmm...so this Sesshoumaru is Inu Yasha's brother..." She grinned slightly, "This is going to be interesting..."

Hakisuma sweatdropped, "Uh, Hikari weren't you paying attention to what Kagome said? This could be dangerous! We should go find Inu Yasha." Hakisuma stared at Hikari but got no response. "Hikari?" Hikari threw a glance at her and walked away. 'Wonder what's wrong with her? She seemed so deep in thought.'

Hikari came up to Kagome, "He is coming nearer, but the human scent is fading."

"We must find Inu Yasha!" Miroku exclaimed waving his staff in the air.

"Hmm...he may also be after the Shikon jewel. Kagome, you and Shippo go find Inu Yasha! I and the others will hold the Sesshoumaru off till then!" Sango held her boomerang firmly in her hands.

"Okay! Come on Shippo!" Kagome walked off with Shippo.

Hikari growled, "H-he's here..." As soon as she finished those words there was a loud crash as a tree fell down dangerously close to the group. A shadowed figure emerged from the dust. Hikari quickly transformed and the others got their weapons ready.

"Inu Yasha is not here." A soft and cold voice came from the figure. "Nor are the Shikon shards, yet the two Naraku told me of are..." a small smirk played on his face. Sesshoumaru flexed his claws, "Hakisuma and Hikari; mixed breed and werewolf..."

Hakisuma and Hikari gasped, 'what!? How did he know?!?!'

Hikari growled, "So you'd go low enough to work with Naraku!?"

Sesshoumaru chuckled, "I do as I please to get what I desire. And I want your sword, Hikari"

Hakisuma glared at him, "Kii!" Kii transformed to his large form. Hakisuma leaped onto his back. Sango did the same with Kirara.

Hikari snarled, "I don't care what you want or who you are! I just want you gone! Come forward Divine Blade!!!" She slashed at Sesshoumaru. "Now die or leave!!!" Sesshoumaru grinned and moved away. "GRAH! Fast aren't ya!?"

Sesshoumaru revealed his silver left arm, "Naraku said you were strong. Maybe these will help. Special amour claws made of demon silver. Quite poisonous to werewolves...Hikari's eyes widened. She jumped out of the way but not fast enough. The claws cut her leg.

"GAH!" She clutched her now bleeding leg.

"Hikari!" Sango, riding on Kirara swooped down and released her boomerang. Sesshoumaru slashed it back at her. "AHH!" Kirara was knocked out from underneath her. They both fell to the ground.

"I will suck him in! Wind Tunnel!!" Miroku revealed his hell hole and a powerful gust of wind began to blow everything in. Large insects appeared from among the trees. "Damn it! Those poison insects!" Miroku closed his wind tunnel.

"Lord Sesshoumaru! Splendid splendid!!" the small imp, Jaken laughed, "Kill them!"

"Why you little imp!" Hakisuma cut Jaken in half with her katana. "Serves you right!"

Out of the corner of her eye she saw Sesshoumaru headed towards her. "AHH!!" Hakisuma cried out as she attempted to leap away from his deadly claws. Sesshoumaru swung out his right fist, hitting Hakisuma in the back. "Argh...!" She fell to the ground with a small thud.

"Heh, here you will die here, slowly and painfully, mixed breed." Sesshoumaru was about to cut Hakisuma when a sudden blur appeared in front of him. He slashed out tearing Hikari's arm.

"ARGRAH!" Hikari howled in pain. Her vision blurred and she changed back to her human form. "Ugh...Don't even think about it...." She struggled to remain standing.

Hakisuma looked up, "H-hikari...?" her back was sore and it hurt when she moved. She noticed the puddle of thick blood beginning to form on the ground. Hakisuma gasped, 'Hikari is bleeding!' Hikari fell forward, unconscious. Sesshoumaru then reach for the hilt of the Divine Blade.

"This will prove to be helpful. I will soon be able to get the Tetsusaiga, thanks to you." He then turned to leave.

"Oh no you don't!" Hakisuma flunged forward and kicked Sesshoumaru's head.

"Insolent mixed breed..." he growled dangerously. Using his whip, he wrapped it around her neck and pulled down. Hakisuma gasped for breath and the grip tightened around her neck. Sesshoumaru then grabbed her leg with his right hand. He sunk his poison claws deep into it and gave her a kick in the stomach.

"AHH!" Hakisuma cried out. Sesshoumaru then left carrying Jaken's carcass over his shoulder. A red blur came to her line of vision. "Inu Yasha....Sesshoumaru...Hikari's sword..." Hakisuma managed to gasp out. A bit of blood trickled out of her mouth and then everything went black.
