The Help of a Thief

Creativity in mind and convenience in location that's what it is. And I don't own them.

Chapter 5

"Kaitou there's a shard in Kohaku's back," whispered Kyo. "Use your daggers to pull it out, and do as little damage to him as possible."

"Got it," responded Kaitou.

"If Kagura is here I can't use my wind tunnel," said Miroku.

As if on cue poisonous insects came flying from the sky.

"Oh, I see you have a friend," said Kagura to Inuyasha, "Why don't we see what he's made of."

"You're going to regret it," said Kyo bringing up his walking stick. "Facing me is like facing Naraku and Tetsusaiga's full power."

"We'll see," said Kagura. She used her fan and attacked with wind blades.

Kyo spun his walking-stick to take care of the blades. He then slammed it into like a club.

With the sudden shake Kagura lost her balance. "Who is this guy."

Distraction in hand Kyo attacked, and knocked the wind out of Kagura. (Pun not intended)

Inuyasha then walked up and held his sword at her throat. "Now this ends."

Kyo put his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder and said, "Let her go, she's not doing this because she wants to." Kyo then called, "Kaitou would you please hand me the shard."

Kaitou's shadow form crept up and he went to his human form. He then handed the shard he removed from Kohaku's back to Kyo.

"Give this back to Naraku and tell him he has an even bigger threat than before," said Kyo handing her the shard.

Kagura pulled out her feather and got on, "Come on Kohaku."

Everyone then realized Kohaku was still there. They all turned around and saw a dieing Kohaku behind them.

Sango rushed to his side, tears in her eyes.

"As you can see the shard you are holding was the one in Kohaku's back," said Kyo calmly. "And if you think I or any of us is going to let Naraku use him as a mind slave anymore you're sadly mistaken."

"Very well," said Kagura, "But Kohaku is doomed without this shard." She then flew off on her feather.

The rest of Inuyasha's group just glared at him except Sango who was too busy crying.

"I believe what Kagura said is not true," said Kyo.

"What do you mean?" asked Kaitou.

"Sesshoumaru," said Kyo, "Perhaps you should pay off you debt to me. Use the Tenseiga to revive Kohaku."

"So be it," responded Sesshoumaru. He then walked over to the corpse, drew the Tenseiga, and slashed Kohaku with it.

Inuyasha sniffed and then said, "Kohaku is definitely alive now."

"Wha," said Kohaku, "Where am I? Sango?"

"Kohaku!" shouted Sango, hugging him, crying, this time, out of joy.

"Well it appears that meeting you was a blessing," said Miroku. "Kohaku is now out of Naraku's control and we now have Kagome's fragment back."

"I will be taking my leave now," said Sesshoumaru.

"Why not become an ally of this group," said Kyo. "Everyone here more or less has a grudge against Naraku."

"Will your offer still stand in a few days?" asked Sesshoumaru. "If so, grant me that much time to think it through." And so he went with Jaken and Rin following.
