Sato: I got to see Inuyasha 2 last night. I'm so happy. (Keeps cheering in background)

Nagi: I guess I'm dealing with all this junk today

She doesn't own anything except…ahem… Kio, Kane, Yuki, Mai, and Shiro if he matters.

Sato: I STILL NEED A BETA READ. VOLUNTEERS WOULD BE APPRECIETED.

I'm glad you agree with me about Kagome being a half demon. And about Kikyo. As for what Naraku's gonna do to Kags. You'll have to wait and read. Sorry but no spoilers. I'm sorry to say Kikyo isn't gone for good. She's out of the way for now though. Dammit that was a spoiler.

Well here's your update Becca enjoy.

Becca:You forgetting some thing

Sato: Oh yeah. Here's your cookie.


What I do for You
The Great Escape
Chapter 8

Kio grimaced as another thorn pierced her skin. It didn't hurt, it was just annoying as hell. "Explain to me how the hell, all this crap," She motioned to the mass of thorns around them "got down here, in the bottom of a ravine." her voice rising at the last phrase. Yuki shrugged "Hell if I know."

They had been in this mess for two hours at least. They were all getting royally pissed. "Probably Shiro, he's got a thing for plants. He's a nut to say it kindly." Mai spoke up. Yuki growled at the thought of the leader of the over gorwn rodents and what he almost did to Mai.

Kio sighed 'And I thought Kane and I were pathetic, these two take the cake.' she thought 'I wonder if he's looking for me.' Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud crash ahead of them. They rushed forward and finally got out of the forest of vines. Kio's jaw dropped. "You're kidding me." She said.

"We wish" Yuki and Mai said in unison. Before them was a squirming mass of moles. They were all ready to puke at the sight, not to mention smell. The mole demons were well, giant, slimy, disgusting… moles. Not many other ways to put it.

Yuki drew two Kodachi's and Mai pulled out her Naginata. Kiori rested her hand on her Katana. She'd dropped the other one when she had been shot. It didn't matter though this katana was all she needed. As she held it over her head the moles began to rush them. "Torssiega" she breathed closing her eyes.

After a moment she popped her eyes open and pulled her katana down. "Wind Scar" she shouted. Five blades of light flew from her weapon traveling along the ground obliterating every demon they so much as came near.

'I hadn't realized she had gotten that strong.' Yuki thought as he assessed the damage done. He and Mai gathered their weapons and began slicing through the enemy.

&&&&&&&&&&&&- three days ago -&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagome stood in Naraku's chambers. He slapped her. She just looked at him both their eyes burning with fury and hatred. "You disobeyed me!" Naraku raged. "That bitch got less than what she deserved." Kagome shouted back.

Naraku slapped her again, this time hard enough to send her to the floor. "And your little partner." He roared, wanting to vent some of his fury on the full dog as well. Kagome spit out a tooth that Naraku had knocked out when he hit her.

"If you weren't such a dumb ass you would know the reason I went after that god damn clay pot is because she shot Kiori. She fell to her death in the ravine." Naraku lifted her up and pinned her to the wall with his hand.

He pressed his body against her and moved his mouth to her ear. "Disobey me again, and you'll lose more than just a tooth when I get a hold of you." He threatened drawing his claw down her side and resting it on her thigh.

Kagome pushed him away in disgust. "Get the hell away from me you sick bastard." She yelled. He allowed himself to be pushed away. She rushed to the door.

Just as she began to pull the shoji away he grabbed a hold of her wrist and pulled her to where her back was against his chest. "The threat still stands, girl, it always stands." He whispered to her. She jerked away in revulsion and hastily left the room.

The feminine voice again floated from the shoji screen behind Naraku. "You truly are disgusting." Naraku chuckled "Glad to hear you think so. When they get here, she will be sure to kill them, if only out of fear. With your help there is no chance of us losing."

He smirked until the mysterious woman spoke again. "And what makes you think I'm still going to help you. You've lost my most prized." She said. Naraku looked pissed, "Don't tell me you've suddenly decided to care about your own."

"No, I only care because I had my own plans for her." He could practically here her irritation. "Now that she's dead, when you kill Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha no one will be in line for the throne. Now I can't use her to take control, you overgrown ape." her voice becoming vicious.

Naraku finally realized what her plans were. She had originally come and said she was willing to help him. She told him how to get Kiori, with the promise that the girl would be returned to her when he was done.

Never revealing her purpose for helping him kill the dog lord and the prince. The truth was he didn't even know her name. She began to speak again "You're going to die in this coming battle and I'll be in the shadows watching you be blown to bits." She said.

"Then I'll take care of my business by myself. See you in hell Naraku." (a/n foreshadowing)Then she vanished. 'How the hell does she do that. And how does she get past Kiori, Kane, and Kagome's noses.' He lay down on his mat and fell into restless sleep.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&- same time (as right above) -&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagome sat at the edge of the pool trying to figure out what to do. Finally she got up and walked to Kagura's room. She knocked on the door. Kagome heard Kagura get up and walk towards the door.

The wind sorceress slowly slid it open and led Kagome in as soon as she could see her face. Kagome walked in only to see Kohaku and Kanna there as well. Kagura moved next to Kagome and spotted the bruise where Naraku had hit her.

Kagura stiffened. "Did he do anything else to you." Kagome shook her "Just smacked me around a little, and threatened to do a lot worse if I ever disobeyed him again." Kagura blinked. "Is that all?" she asked in disbelief.

Kagome looked around one more time and noticed some one was missing. "Where's Kane?" Kagome asked. Kagura sighed but Kohaku answered for her. "Out looking for Kio." He said.

"She is alive." Kanna said. Everyone turned to her. Kanna turned her mirror to face the others. The mirror seemed to shimmer before settling down into a picture of Kio with two other demons.

"She has found new allies." Kanna said softly. The image faded away and revealed Kane. Running through he forest. "Should we find him and tell him?" Kagome asked. "No, he'll find her on his own." Kagura responded without looking at her. Kagome nodded, still unsure.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The Inu-gumi sat around the fire. Sango finally got sick of the silence. "What the hell, happened back there?" She asked and waited for someone to answer. Yumi the white female leader of the wolves responded

"The dead miko who feeds off the souls of dead women shot princess Kiori, and she fell into the ravine." "Do you think there is a chance that she survived?" Miroku asked. Sumi nodded "I still sense her life force, she is alive and well."

Inuyasha audibly sighed in relief, Sesshoumaru tried to keep up his stoic façade but they could all tell he was less tense after Yumi presented this news. "What are we going to do now?" Shippou asked.

"We're going into the mountains, that's where Naraku is." Inuyasha answered. They all nodded in agreement and the wolves headed out to make their own camp. All of them except Ayame and Kouga who both stayed behind with the Inu-gumi. They quickly went to sleep and headed out in the morning.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&- Back to the fight against the mole demons -&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

They had wiped out most of the mole demons by the third hour; the problem was they were getting worn down. Kiori felt like screaming in frustration when the largest of the demons moved forward to face them.

"Return my woman." The mole rumbled. "And who the hell do you think you are?" Kiori asked her eyebrow raised. "I am Shiro the leader of the mole demons of the canyon Yotico. (a/n random name)" He rumbled.

As a blob of slime fell from Shiro's body Kiori shivered in revulsion. "You are afraid." Shiro stated. Kiori looked up at him and laughed. "Are you kidding me? Yuki's form is bigger than yours, my fathers definitely was, not to mention my brother."

She laughed again. "I'm just absolutely revolted. Ever hear of a bath?" She taunted slightly. Shiro roared and lunged towards her. Yuki stepped in the way before she could attack "Hey Shito" he called.

"She's right about my true form ya know. I didn't transform before because there was never space for it." He looked around, "But this cavern is plenty big enough." Mai looked confused.

The caves that they had fought the other demons in were pretty damn big. How big was his true form anyway? Her question was answered soon enough. Yuki's eyes turned red and he began to glow.

He grew larger and larger. When the light faded there stood a huge dog towering over the giant mole. "Kio, isn't he a wolf?" Mai asked. Kio winced, "Guess he never got around to that. He's a wolf dog. Half and half."

Kiori was surprised at Mai's reaction. She looked surprised but not at all angry that he hadn't told her or revolted at the fact that that made him a half-breed. "Wow," she said. She looked at Yuki who was having fun tormenting the Shiro leader of the big rodents. "Cool" she said.

Kiori laughed at her reaction. She had been worried about what she would do when she found out. They heard Yuki growl. The sound reverberating off the wall of the cavern, the girls looked to where the wolf dog had Shiro cornered.

Yuki was looking at his paw where they could see a bite mark. "That didn't hurt him did it?" Mai asked. "Nope" Kio answered, "Just ticked him off further. And drastically shortened Shiro's life span."

Kio finished in an all-knowing voice. The demonic Yuki glared at the pathetic mole in front of him. He swiped down at him, thus quickly ending the reign of Shiro the mole demon of Canyon Yotico. Behind where Shiro had been cowering there was a stair case, a really long staircase.

Yuki shrunk down to his human like form. He stretched "You girls ready to go?" he asked. Mai giggled and Kiori nodded. And they were off. As they reached the exit of the canyon Mai got an idea.

"Kio," she said getting her attention. "Take this." Mai took off a pendant she had around her neck and held it out to her. "With this your brothers won't realize you have your memory back." Kiori put it on.

"Why wouldn't she want Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha to know she has her memory back?" Yuki asked. "Well according to what she said, Naraku finds out about everything that they do our talk about using that girls mirror." Both Yuki and Kiori nodded in understanding.

When they stepped out they were in a large clearing. The exit hidden by a tree and other plants. They sensed something nearby, all three of them tensed. A figure dropped down out of the trees. "Kio" it called.

Her eyes widened in realization and she ran to him "Kane!" she yelled as she latched onto him, her arms around his neck. Kane picked her up and swung her around a few times. When he set her down he held her close.

"Dammit Kio, you scared the hell outta me." He whispered to her. She looked up and kissed him lightly. She couldn't have cared less that Mai and Yuki were there. "Well they make a cute couple" Mai stated.

"We'll see." Yuki said skeptically. Mai rolled her eyes "Yuki, she's a big girl, she doesn't need protection from everything." Yuki looked at her and smiled. "You're probably right, they'll get enough crap from Sessh and Yasha anyway."

Mai laughed. "Umm, Yuki?" she asked when she calmed down. Kio's radar definitely picked this one up. "He he, umm, Kane," "Yeah" he answered "I think its time to bow out gracefully." She said nervously.

He gave her an odd look. "I'll tell you when we get out of here. Promise." Kane shrugged and he followed her out. Meanwhile Mai asked him a question that had been bugging her since Yuki's transformation.

"Why didn't you tell me you were a wolf dog?" she asked her voice displaying her confusion. Yuki looked surprised "How did you…" "Kio" Before he could yell at said dog demon Mai put a finger to his lips, silencing him.

"Did you think I would hate you for it?" she asked quietly. Yuki's eyes gained a pained look. Mai moved closer to him. "Not all women are critics you know" she said. Before he could respond she moved forward and pressed her lips to his.

He quickly deepened the kiss. Neither ever wanted to pull away, but had to give way for oxygen. "Mai, I'm sorry." Yuki said still trying to catch his breath. Mai gave him another peck on the lips "Forgiven"

she said and began to walk into the forest, "So where are we off to now?" she asked. Yuki smirked "Well, I get the feeling that their lordships could use a little help." Mai laughed but headed deeper into the mountains. Yuki in tow.
