In the last chapter: Sesshomaru discovers a riddle from his mother, and the chapter goes further in to the thoughts and actions of certain characters. Also Sesshomaru decides to go on a hunt for his Lady's kit, and friends.


Chapter Title: Finding Havoc, and the Maiden's Friends


Sesshomaru had left Kagome and everyone back at the castle. It was time to go fetch the orange fur ball. When Sesshomaru arrived at Inuyasha's village he found havoc instead peace. The village was burning, bodies littered the ground. "What have you done Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru whispered to the ashes in the wind.

He had to find Kagome's friends. He ran looking everywhere even in the burning houses. Sesshomaru eventually found Kaede and Shippo, both unconscious, and badly wounded, he picked them up and ran to the forest.

He finally came to a stop and set them down on the grass.

Suddenly a giant boomerang came flying out of nowhere. Immediately followed by a death cry. "DIE, INUYASHA!". Sesshomaru dodged to the left, " I'm not that little bastard of a brother!" Sesshomaru raged. Sango came running out of hiding, and grabbed her boomerang, "Sesshomaru! But what are you doing here? Where is Inuyasha?"

She demanded. "I came here to gather Kagome's kit, and her friends." "You are a friend to Kagome yes, human?" he asked. "What do you know of Kagome's where abouts?! Where is she and what's going on?!" she asked confused.

"I can not explain that right now, at the moment I must find the monk, where is your demon companion?" he asked with urgency. "She is protecting Miroku, I'll go get them!"

Sango then ran off in the opposite direction, only to come back with the monk on her cat.

"Quick we must get them to my castle!" and with that said he picked up Shippo and Kaede in his arms, and flew up into the air with Sango following in haste.


Meanwhile back at the castle...

Kagome had been playing with Rin, when she suddenly felt a feeling of dread come a upon her, and then only to have it washed a way with relief. "Kagome, what's wrong, Kagome-chan?" Rin asked scared at why Kagome had just frozen and gained a glazed look. "I'm sorry Rin I don't know...why don't we go get something to eat, ok?" Kagome suggested, feeling guilty for worrying the child, that she had grown so fond of.They headed into the castle, and went to eat with Momiji.


Author Note: I'm sorry that this chapter wasn't as long as I had hoped. Sorry I haven't updated in a long time! I'm just starting to find free time from school!
