Info: During the Grande Ball InuYasha had 49 days (7 weeks) until he becomes male. In this chapter it is two weeks later which leaves him 5 more weeks.

During the Grande Ball his pregnancy test proves positive so since that day he is due for delivery in 9 weeks. Well since in this chapter it is two weeks later he is two weeks pregnant and has 7 weeks till the baby comes. Clears that up?

In this chapter the days are:

Male Time: 5 weeks

Baby Due: 7 weeks (2 weeks pregnant)

Two weeks later....

"InuYasha!" Rashi said, "You need to get your ass off the couch! You've been on it for two weeks! You've missed school! You've missed the dances! You've missed life and you're two weeks pregnant!" (he looks two months pregnant)

He grunted, not saying a word, not taking his dark eyes from the light show on the television.

Rashi sighed as she turned away and entered in the kitchen. This household was turning into a house of arguments, rage and anger. During the two weeks InuYasha had never left that couch except to go to the bathroom.

Rin came in, humming. "Rashi-chan, I'm going to go see Kagome-chan, is that okay?"

"Of course it is," Rashi patted her head. "Be back by dinner time okay?"

Rin nodded and then skipped out of the house. Rin was the only one keeping her spirits up. Rin was the only keeping them all sane.

She washed the dishes and threw the pizza boxes away. She wondered how her house was doing. Rashi had stayed here to take care of InuYasha. He was so depressed. She glanced out the window and smiled when she saw Sesshoumaru's Jaguar park in the driveway.

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

InuYasha never took his eyes from the TV. He could feel his brain sizzling and melting. He had no emotion. He felt so empty and torn. He felt so useless and restless, but he had nothing. Nothing to do. Nothing to live for. He had tried committing suicide but Sesshoumaru stopped him. It wasn't like the toaster and bathtub trick was going to work anyway.

He shifted on the couch as Sesshoumaru entered the house. He could feel Sesshoumaru's harsh gaze on InuYasha's back, but paid no mind.

"Where's Rashi?"

He grunted twice.

"What is she doing?"

InuYasha shrugged.

"Pathetic."

InuYasha growled.

Sesshoumaru left to the kitchen to see Rashi drying the dishes. He went up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him.

"Not now Sesshoumaru," she shrugged him off, showing him that she was in a bitter mood. "I'm doing the dishes."

"No progress with InuYasha?" Sesshoumaru asked as he leaned on the counter, upset that she had pushed him away. "Where's Rin?"

"At Kagome's house," Rashi replied. "InuYasha left the couch twice to the bathroom.

"I see," Sesshoumaru said and strode off towards the living room. "InuYasha!" Sesshoumaru had snapped. He couldn't put up with his brother wallowing in self pity, Rashi giving him the cold shoulder because InuYasha wasn't doing anything and Rin always at Kagome's. "Get your ass off that fucking couch now!"

InuYasha pulled his eyes from the screen and made eye contact with Sesshoumaru for once in two weeks. "'The hell's wrong with you?"

"You are what's wrong! You and your self-pity and bitterness are spreading around this household! Rin's been away more just to get the feeling of depression out of her mind! Rashi has been taking care of you for two weeks and she hasn't even kissed me in the past weeks! I want your ass off of that couch now!"

"Not my fault Rashi won't sleep with you," InuYasha turned back to the screen and felt a blow to the back of his head. InuYasha was thrown off of the couch and onto the table. Sesshoumaru had hold of InuYasha's throat and with his free hand he made a fist.

"Don't you say that!" Sesshoumaru said, "This is your fault! I don't care what Kagome did to you but you can't take your anger out on Rashi, Rin or me! Understand? You want to take your anger somewhere, take it to a boxing ring!"

InuYasha didn't say anything. Sesshoumaru was right. This was his fault. He didn't know he was being so bitter to Rashi that she wasn't being her usual self. He hadn't noticed the changes at all or the absence of Rin. All he noticed was how bad he felt.

"The world stops revolving around you now!" Sesshoumaru said as he shoved InuYasha into the table and released him. Sesshoumaru then went upstairs without so much as a glance towards the kitchen.

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

"Today we will strike," Naraku said coldly.

"Yes," Kikyou nodded in agreement. "Our strongest woman is down. For some reason Higurashi hasn't been the same since the ball."

"I am aware of her low energy level," Naraku said. "Shall we begin." He removed a black sheet from a mirror. In the mirror gray smoke swirled, forming the neighborhood.

Kikyou stared coldly at it as Naraku babbled on. "No love. No kindness. No mercy."

'No love. No kindness. No mercy. No love...No love...not in this world...none...' Kikyou erased the pain that came with the words 'no love'. She choked as she said her words, "Go Soul Stealers and steal innocence."

The Soul Stealers emerged from the mirror, ghastly white and red eyes. They went through Kikyou and Naraku and through the walls, out into the neighborhood.

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

Kagome played on the piano as Rin smiled happily at her. Rin listened to the sorrowful tune and when Kagome finished Rin asked, "Kagome-chan, why does your music sound so sad...?"

Kagome looked surprised at the little girl and a soft, sad smile. "Does it sound sad?"

Rin nodded. "Yeah."

"How's Rashi?" Kagome changed the subject as she rose from the piano.

"Rashi-chan...is sad and harsh," Rin said thoughtfully. "All she does is nag and clean."

"..." Kagome didn't want to hear anymore.

"Sango-chan is coming over with Miroku!" Rin said happily. "I hope Sango can talk to Rashi-chan and make Rashi feel better. Maybe Miroku can talk to InuYasha."

"...How is...he?"

"InuYasha is watching TV all the time," Rin said as they walked into the kitchen. "He doesn't move or talk to anyone. He won't play games with me or talk to Rashi. He...he is like a shell."

"A shell..." she repeated the words as she handed Rin some cookies and milk.

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

"Sango, it's good to see a bright face," Rashi smiled as she hugged Sango and then hugged Miroku. "Please come in and have a seat."

"Thanks," Sango and Miroku said.

"How are the wedding plans?"

"Good, good," Sango said. "I wanted to ask you if you would mind being on of the bride's maids."

"I'd be honored," Rashi said as she sat on the couch, noticing that InuYasha wasn't on the couch anymore. His imprint was still there though.

"Where's InuYasha? I want him to be my best man," Miroku said.

"I don't know," Rashi said, "He was here a few minutes ago."

Sesshoumaru came down the stairs. "He's in the shower."

"Oh!" Rashi exclaimed. "About time."

"Yeah I called him and all he would do was grunt on the phone," Miroku laughed. "Is he that depressed?"

"He was in such a bad state," Rashi said. "His boobs were sagging and he didn't wear a bra. His legs got all hairy and I think he gained weight or it might just be the baby."

"InuYasha?!" Sango exclaimed. "Is here?"

"Oi? You didn't know?" Miroku turned to her. "Oh right, you didn't know. Taka is InuYasha."

"What?!?!? You were dating InuYasha?" Sango exclaimed.

"No!" Miroku protested. So he went on to explain everything of what happened over the few weeks of InuYasha being Taka.

"Shippo won't believe this," Sango said. "Should I tell him?"

"No," Rashi said. "I don't think you should. Let Shippo believe that InuYasha is away on a trip."

Sango nodded, still not believing that Taka was InuYasha and InuYasha was Taka.

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

Kagome was on the phone, chattering with her friend. "I'm fine. Really. Yumi I'll be fine, relax. I am fine. No. No. I'm sure. Yes."

"Aggggghhhhhh!" Rin's sharp scream made Kagome drop the cordless phone.

"Rin?" Kagome raced to the foot up the stairs and waited for Rin's response. "Rin?" She walked up the stairs. "Rin! Rin! Answer me! Where are you!?" Fear spread through her veins as she quickened her pace towards the guest room where all the toys were kept.

She opened the door and screamed. "Rin! Rin!" She raced over to the lifeless figure. Rin's skin was pale and cold to the touch. "Rin?" She picked up Rin and shook her gently in her arms. "Rin! Rin!" She looked around. What happened? There was nothing around that could have caused this.

She grabbed a blanket and wrapped Rin in it as she raced down the stairs and out the door. She spotted silver snakes in the sky. "What the hell?!" She didn't stop and then rushed to Taka's door and knocked rapidly on it.

Sango opened the door and blinked. "Kagome?" She saw Rin in her arms, "What happened?" Sango ushered her in quickly.

Kagome spotted Sesshoumaru. "Sesshoumaru! Something's wrong with Rin!"

Sesshoumaru turned around and a shocked expression came on his face. He went over to Kagome and took Rin in his arms. "What happened?" he demanded.

"I don't know!" she said. "I was in the kitchen on the phone and Rin was upstairs playing. I heard her scream and I ran up and she was lying on the floor. But when I went outside..."

"What?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"I saw silver snakes in the air! Floating around!" Kagome's breath caught in her throat as she spotted Taka coming down, fully dressed. Her hair looked damp from a shower.

"It's the Soul Stealers," Rashi stated. She turned, "InuYasha, you're familiar with these things aren't you?"

"They're Kikyou's..." he answered.

"That bitch!" Miroku yelled, "She was planning on stealing women's souls ever since she built this area."

"Naraku is helping!" Sango said.

Sesshoumaru handed Rin to Rashi. "Stay here." He opened the door and spotted the Soul Stealers. "InuYasha, Miroku come with me. We're destroying them. We're men and they're only stealing female souls. They already have a lot."

"Right," Miroku said, putting his hand over his left gloved hand. "I'm ready."

"We can't help?" Sango asked. "I know I can. I'm trained to exterminate demons."

"No," Miroku stated. "Stay inside."

"No one is safe anywhere!" InuYasha barked. "They stole Rin's soul while she was inside. You think these women are safe in here? They're better off fighting with us where we can watch them."

"You're right," Sesshoumaru agreed. "Let us all go outside."

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

"That's it," Kikyou smirked, "Bring me souls. Lots of souls." The Soul Stealers came, dropping souls into Kikyou's body. "Now...get me Kagome's soul!"

They all flew out again, through the walls as Naraku smirked.

"Soon my Flesh Stealers will be born," Naraku said as he cut off his arm skin, into a boiling pot. "Just a few more souls and my Flesh Stealers will be born."

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

Sesshoumaru withdrew the Toukijin and got in his stance as the Stealers came out again. They entered houses, emerging with white souls.

InuYasha pulled out the Tetsusaiga. "It's on now!"

Rashi set Rin down in the bushes as she ran back in the house. She ran up the steps and into her room and opened the closet. "Hmmm what shall I use." She scanned over the small daggers, snipers, guns and swords. "A sword is fine with me." She grabbed a few swords and ran back outside.

Sesshoumaru was now on the roof and he spotted Rashi, coming out from the house with a sword in hand.

"Let's get homicidal!" Rashi cackled evilly.

"Oh yeah!" InuYasha smirked as he jumped near Sesshoumaru.

"Rashi!" Sesshoumaru yelled. "Stay back! I don't want them stealing your soul."

"Don't worry," Rashi assured, "if they steal my soul I know you'll get it back and if you don't InuYasha better."

"What!?" InuYasha acted surprised, "No I won't, bitch."

"You better you asshole!" Rashi replied, knowing he was joking.

"Kirara!" Sango shouted as Kirara landed in her large form near Sango. "Good kitty. You knew." She patted Kirara and then got on her back as she was dressed in her fighting uniform, her Hiraikutso strapped on her back.

Miroku got on behind her and the two took off towards the skies.

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

"We have intruders! Two men!" Kikyou announced. "The Monk and the Prime Minister. It seems as though Sango, Rashi and Taka are fighting."

"And Kagome?" Naraku questioned.

"Is just standing there, like a stupid deer," Kikyou smirked.

"Excellent. Send your strongest Stealer after her I shall free my insects."

"Very well." And so the largest Soul Stealer emerged from the mirror.

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

Miroku sucked up half of the stealers and then he spotted the Poisonous Insects. "Sango! The Poisonous Insects are here! I am of no use now!" He looked around. "Head towards Rashi."

"Right," Sango said as she caught her Hiraikutso. Kirara went down near Rashi.

"Rashi! I need your sword," Miroku said.

"Here ya go," she handed it to him as she revealed another sword.

"How many do you have?" Miroku asked.

"Five," she replied simply. Her eyes darted over to Kagome. "Kagome-chan! Don't stand there! Fight!"

"Fight...?" Kagome blinked. 'But how. I don't know how to use a sword or anything...wait!' She rushed over to her house.

InuYasha watched and then noticed a large Soul Stealer headed towards Kagome's house. "Damn!" he cursed and ran over to the house to fight it off.

"No you don't!" InuYasha shouted as he sliced through the Soul Stealer. "No way in hell are you getting her soul!"

Kagome opened her closet and grabbed her bow and arrows. She strapped the arrows to her back and put some arrows in another pack and strapped it around her waist. A hundred arrows. That's how many she had.

She ran back outside to see Taka fighting with the large Soul Stealer. "Why...?" she asked herself. "But...she..."

"Gahhh!" Rashi screamed as a Soul Stealer came at her. "Noo!" she yelled as she stabbed it, but it healed quickly. "The fuck?" she said as she felt the energy drain from her body. "...Shit..." and then she passed out.

"Rashi!" Sesshoumaru shouted as he noticed her fall to the ground, her face pale. He looked after the Soul Stealer that had her soul and leaped after it. "Give it back to her!" he shouted as he sliced it in half. The soul broke away and started to zip towards Rashi's body, but another captured it. The soul struggled and struggled.

"Rashi!" Sesshoumaru called after the soul as he caught up with that Soul Stealer. The Soul Stealer cried out and another came, heading maliciously towards Sesshoumaru.

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

InuYasha struggled as Soul Stealers pressed him against the roof. "Kagome!" he shouted. "Look out!" He watched as the large Soul Stealer wrapped Kagome in its embrace.

He saw the blue energy flowing from her. Blue. It was blue. Her energy was low. Why? He struggled as the Soul Stealers began to suck his soul. They were confused. His soul wasn't coming out. He smirked. 'It's because I'm not female!'

Kagome struggled to keep awake. She felt so groggy. "...Sleep...I need to...sleep."

"Kagome! Don't give in!"

Soon Kagome fell to the ground. Her face pale. Her lips white as snow. Her hair gray. "Nooo! Kagome!" InuYasha shouted as he watched the Soul Stealer fly away. As soon as that Soul Stealer was away the others let go of him, only to meet their death.

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

Sango gasped as she felt her energy escaping her body. "Miroku...!" she stated as the silver snake wrapped itself around Sango's neck.

"Sango!" Miroku yelled and tried to pry it off. "Sango! Hold still! Keep fighting it!"

Sango soon closed her eyes. "I...can't..." she said and then slipped off Kirara, plummeting to the ground. Kirara was just as weak. (She is female). The Soul Stealers were hovering around Kirara as Kirara's energy escaped her body.

"Sango!" Miroku screamed as he watched her fall. He jumped off Kirara into the air as he fell towards Sango. 'The best I can do is break your fall!' he thought as he forced his body to speed up.

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

Rashi's soul broke away once more and flew towards Sango's body. Rashi dodged the Soul Stealers. The soul flew underneath Sango's body and entered Sango's body.

Rashi woke up in Sango's body. "What the...?" she gasped, remembering what her soul had done. "Damn it!" She closed her eyes and the soul escaped Sango's body and charged after Kirara's.

It entered the cat demon and once again Rashi woke up in Kirara's body. "Perfect! Let's save their asses!" Rashi sped down towards Sango and Sango fell onto her back as Miroku fell on her back as well.

"Thanks Kirara," Miroku said as he pulled Sango's body to rest in his lap.

"I'm not Kirara," Rashi said as she went to the ground. Once landed Rashi's soul left Kirara's body only to get two Soul Stealers clinging to her soul. Rashi's soul struggled again; she was only a few feet away from her body.

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

Sesshoumaru fought against the dozens of Soul Stealers surrounding him. He cleared a layer of them, greeted by another. "They're like damn ants!"

InuYasha bounded off, following the large Soul Stealer until they came upon the large mansion. "Kikyou! Naraku!" he yelled as he broke through the ceiling.

He came face to face with Naraku. "Give the souls back!"

"No!" Naraku smirked. "You see. I am afraid we cannot do that. For my Flesh Stealers are born." Red snake like things emerged from the pot and flew towards the walls, going through them. He laughed. "Soon every girl's body will just be bones!"

"No!" InuYasha protested as he swung his sword, only to clash with a black shield encircling Naraku.

"You see, InuYasha, we know where the last piece of the puzzle is. The Shikon No Tama, an object so powerful, so pure, that it must reveal itself in true love. We know where it is," he smirked and then his hand shot out and dug into InuYasha's stomach.

InuYasha screamed in pain as he struggled to break free.

"The Shikon No Tama lies in your stomach! Your baby! It all fits! I knew! I knew who Anamori Taka was all along and now I know where the jewel is located, thanks to your kiss to Kagome."

Kikyou watched in horror as InuYasha stomach glowed.

"Your baby is slowing dying. Your baby is using its energy to make the jewel's formation speed up. You see, InuYasha, if the baby had been born it would've have lived with the jewel formed in its mouth, but now the baby cannot takes it time to give energy to the jewel and keep some to itself. It must now reveal the jewel for I demand it!"

"Bastard!" InuYasha winced.

"True love shall die! Love shall no longer exist!" Naraku cackled madly.

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

Sesshoumaru finally tore the Soul Stealers away from his body and he noticed red snakes in the sky, glowing madly. "Flesh Stealers!" He growled. His golden amber eyes flickered over to Rin's body in the bushes, then to Rashi's body near Rin's.

Miroku was standing near Sango, sword in hand, ready to protect her body.

Sesshoumaru dove towards Kagome's body. "I need to save my brother's bitch as well." He scooped her up and then placed her with Rashi and Rin. He jumped up on the roof to watch them.

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

Kikyou felt her energy rising as Sango and Rashi's souls entered her body. She could feel there souls protest, sending out angry signals. She heard their voices in her head.

'Kikyou! You're going to let that bastard take love away!'

'You can't let him! Love is so precious!'

'I'll never become a part of you, Kikyou!'

'Love. No love. No kindness. No mercy. No love...No love...' Kikyou's pupils shrank as she felt Kagome's soul enter hers. She felt extreme pain. Extreme sadness. Extreme regret. "Naraku!" both Kikyou's and Kagome's voice boomed out and Naraku turned as he slowly pulled out his hand.

"Die!" Kagome's voice came out more vibrant as red encircled her and rose her up in the air. Kikyou's hand lifted and came down as a slash. Red blasted out at Naraku, making him wrench free from InuYasha, his hand possessing nothing.

InuYasha fell to the floor, clinging to his stomach.

Naraku fell onto the ground as Kikyou flew forward. Kikyou grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up so that he came face to face with her. Kikyou's voice overpowered Kagome's. "You cannot destroy love! I won't allow it!" Kikyou threw him against the wall. "I won't allow it!" Kagome's voice yelled as tears formed in Kikyou's eyes.

"You can't! You won't!" Kagome's voice became stronger. "I won't let you!"

"Girls need love!" Kikyou's voice said, dominating Kagome. "They base their soul purpose on love! We need love to survive! Love is what makes us strong!"

"Love is a dream! A dream that can become a reality!" Kagome and Kikyou's voice were even. "We won't let you take that away! We will let love happen! We need love!"

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

The Flesh Stealers came towards Sesshoumaru and Miroku. Then the Flesh Eaters turned into demons with swords.

"Lord Sesshoumaru," one greeted as Sesshoumaru's sword clashed with his opponent's.

"Flesh Stealer Naito," Sesshoumaru said, familiar with this figure. His sword drew back and struck metal once more. The both jumped into the air as they clashed again.

Miroku fought with the other one, swords against swords. Metal against metal. Purpose against Purpose.

Sesshoumaru reared back and landed on the grass. His eyes became red. His pupils slit and the winds encircled him as his face formed a muzzle and he grew larger. He was now in his true form. Sesshoumaru, the dog, grabbed Naito's sword in his fangs as Rashi's voice echoed in his head.

'I still think it's a portable pillow...'

He shook his head with such viciousness that Naito released his grasp from the sword handle and dropped to the ground. Naito transformed into a large monster.

'Hmm well I don't know anyone else besides...me.'

He had to protect the one he loved. He had to protect Rashi. He had to protect Rin. He had to protect his family. He clawed the large monster as the monster fought back.

'I truly do love you.'

He pressed his claws against the monster's chest and forced the monster down as it crashed into the street. His fangs greeted the monster's shoulder as he bit savagely. He tasted Naito's blood on his tongue, which drove him towards insanity. He had to control himself, but theses emotions of wanting to protect Rashi and Rin took over.

'You can't block love.'

He couldn't block love. No matter how hard he tried to deny he loved Rashi he still couldn't help but love her cheerfulness. 'InuYasha you better be kicking Naraku's ass or I'll kick yours!' He ripped the monster's throat open, killing it. He ripped its neck to shreds, taking his rage and sadness on this corpse. "Rashi is dead! Rin is dead! Sango is dead! Kagome is dead!" Sesshoumaru spat.

Miroku had stabbed the other imposter in his heart. Tears were flowing down his cheeks. "Sesshoumaru, will InuYasha defeat Naraku?"

'I love you Sesshoumaru.'

"Of course he will. He can kick Naraku's ass," Sesshoumaru said definitely, wanting his tone to trick even himself.

Sesshoumaru walked over to Rashi's body and gently stroked her hair out of her face. He looked at Rin and used his hand to close her eyes. He stroked Rashi's velvet cheek with the back off his hand and then scooped her into his arms, willing her to wake up. "I order you to wake up, Rashi! I won't allow you to die! I won't let you die! You WILL wake up! I demand it!"

Miroku kneeled beside Sango. "Sango...live...for me..." Miroku picked Sango's body up. "We should take them into the house. Lay them on the beds."

Sesshoumaru nodded and picked Rashi, Rin and Kagome up all at once. He gently set them on InuYasha's large bed that could hold all four of the bodies. "Come back to me Rashi. Come back to me Rin." He kissed both their forehead. "Kagome...just come back for InuYasha's sake."

Miroku stayed up in the bedroom to watch over them while Sesshoumaru went downstairs and outside to watch out for any other monsters.

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

Naraku stood up. "How dare you turn your back on me Kikyou? I knew I couldn't trust you! You still have no idea where your loyalties lie! You never will!"

"How dare you say that to me!" Kikyou barked. "How dare you! I told you we needed love! But you wouldn't listen to me!"

"Naraku!" InuYasha struggled to get up. "How did you know who I was!?"

Naraku smirked weakly. "My mirror told me. I asked it where true love could be found. It gave me three options. Sango and Miroku. Sesshoumaru and Rashi. InuYasha and Kagome, or Taka and Kagome. So I then asked which true love would reveal itself and it answered Taka and Kagome."

"I asked how could that be and it showed me Taka turning into InuYasha and I finally got it. You were masquerading as a woman and fell in love with Kagome, who secretly returned the love." He noticed InuYasha's shocked face and chuckled, "Don't look so surprised. Then I asked how would it be formed and it showed me the inside of you stomach. Funny, how a male could get pregnant, but the mirror explained it all to me."

"Bastard!" InuYasha shouted. He powered up his sword. "You will pay for trying to kill my baby, take away love and killing my friends!"

InuYasha charged after him and struck again, but once again the shield came up, weaker than before, but still strong enough to push away his sword. Why didn't it block Kikyou's attacks?

"Move InuYasha!" Kagome's voice demanded. "Only Kikyou and I can kill him! His shield believes Kikyou is still on his side!"

InuYasha stepped aside reluctantly. "As long as I get to shred him to bits when he's dead."

Kikyou smiled. It was more of a Kagome smile and he smiled back, but she frowned. "I still don't forgive you."

InuYasha's heart fell.

Kikyou turned her attention back to Naraku, who was smirking. She floated towards him and raised him once more as a red, glowing dagger appeared in her hand. "Get ready to die," Kagome and Kikyou's voice became as one. She raised the dagger and brought it down. It pierced his head and she heard the crack of his skull. Blood splattered out at her, landing on her red and white business suit and on her face. It clotted in her hair, as she pressed harder.

The dagger deepened in his skull and soon disappeared. The blood not stopping. The blood soon turned black and spilled across his face.

Naraku's eyes bugged out as he screamed in pain. Soon blackness rose from his head. Demons shot out in all directions, leaving an empty skin. A lifeless body.

The demons smashed out of the house and into the sky where they were greeted by Miroku and Sesshoumaru.

All the demons were destroyed. Naraku was destroyed. But...the bodies of the women still did not move.

Kikyou fainted, dropping to the floor. The souls soon escaped out into the night.

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

"The souls..." Sesshoumaru observed as the souls circled the skies. "They are lost..."

"How can we help them return to their bodies?" Miroku asked, his eyes scanning the souls, hoping to see Sango's.

"They can't remember their bodes. They can't remember their lives..." Sesshoumaru stepped forward. "Come. We must get some incense and torches and light up the night. We must fill the night with calming incense. Help calm their souls."

"Of course," Miroku said. "And we must...sing..."

"Sing?" Sesshoumaru arched a brow.

"You forgot the singing. Singing lifts the spirits," Miroku said.

"...I don't know how to sing..."

"Just sing..."

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

Soon the neighborhood was filled with lights and smelled strongly of incense. Miroku and Sesshoumaru's voice filled the night as the wind spread their voices.

The souls soon began to float into the houses and lights flicked on in the homes as women and small girls stepped out, admiring the scene with happy faces.

Sesshoumaru averted his eyes to InuYasha's house as he saw InuYasha's bedroom window light up. He nodded, relieved that they were alive.

Rashi came out, holding Rin in her arms. She saw Sesshoumaru by Miroku and smiled. "Sesshy!" she yelled out joyfully and ran towards him as Sesshoumaru turned to take her smile in his mind.

He soon felt her body snuggled against his and Rin's tiny arms wrapped around his neck, while Rashi's arms were around his waist. He hugged them both, kissing the both of them softly. He set Rin down and then wrapped his arms around Rashi's small torso. He brought her close to him and they kissed. He kissed her hungrily and never wanted to stop.

Miroku was kissing Sango ravenously and Sango was running her hands through his sea of darkness.

Kagome was alone in the doorway, smiling softly.

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

InuYasha kneeled beside Kikyou and shook her gently. "Kikyou...Kikyou..." he whispered softly.

Kikyou opened her almond brown eyes and gave a surprised look to see InuYasha still near her. "What?" she sat up right and groaned as a headache pierced her head. "I'm fine."

"I want to thank you," he said. "Thank you for saving Kagome and everyone else."

"Don't get used to it," she muttered as she stood up. She looked around. "My house is ruined...great..."

"Why did you do it?"

"Because. We need love. Women can't live without it," she smiled at him. "I love you InuYasha."

"Kikyou..." he was about to protest but she pressed her finger on his lips.

"Don't say it. I know already you don't love me," she said. "You love Kagome. A girl who can't forgive you. You can't forgive me for hurting you and she can't forgive you from hurting her. But...once Kagome sees that you truly are worth it. She will forgive you."

"..." InuYasha didn't know how to respond, but Kikyou pressed her lips against his.

She released him. "Do what you must."

He nodded. "I know."

"How much to want to sell it for?"

"45,000," he replied.

"Sold," she replied. "Pack your things. I want to move in immediately."

He nodded. He was leaving Tama neighborhood.
