Sesshomaru dreaded calling the shadows demon.

he stood, leaving Kao in Galahad's care.

"Yukara" Sesshomaru called, entering their bedroom.

Yukara was dressed in her shadow uniform.

"Sesshomaru, honey, you know we have to. He is the only hope we have, now." She said, pulling the daggar from her hair to place in it's sheath.

"i know." he said, dressing himself in similar garb.

The cloak was black fur, kimono was skin tight leather, english style.

Then they were in the room with Kao again.

this had to work.

----------------

Kenji flew into a rage, slamming his sword into a wall, he raced off into the night, disappearing with his speed.

Yahiko tried to race off after him, but Sanouske stopped him with a hand on his shoulder.

"No." Sano said, staring after the retreating shape.

"I know." Yahiko said, turning back toward the devastation of the dojo.

"Do you think that was the thing she saw?" Sano asked, later.

"No. i don't think it was trying to hurt her. Somehow i...I just know he's friend." Megumi butted in, recalling the clinic.

"Yeah, he was there too wasn't he?" Sano said.

Suddenly Inyo walked through the door and into the light.

He held an unconsious Kenji in his arms.

"Kenji?" Yahiko asked, rising.

"He's fine, I just knocked him out. he was trying to get drunk when i found him." Inyo said.

-------

Megumi stripped back down into her yukata, sighing at the day's troubles.

Something was like the old days.

There were new friends hanging around the dojo.

Albeit they were all magical in some way, but it was almost like a long time ago.

When she would antagonize kaoru by flirting with Kenshin.

When Kaoru would help everyone she met, she had until she died.

So had kenshin. Even those that tried to kill him.

It had been such a long time.

So long.

After kaoru died, kenji and Yahiko took over the dojo, teaching the new students as they came. the ways of the Kamiya and the hiten Mitsurugi ryus.

They still had students.

Magumi had welcomed the distraction, but it was time kenji had a girlfriend. Even though it was a bad time.

She went to sleep thinking of the past.

When she woke, she was hit with a hard reality of the present.

"Kenji's gone!" Came yahiko's yell.
