Gwg: Yes, and now on to chapter fourteen since I got enough reviews. As last time I will ask for atleast near 10 reviews before I add another chapter. I'm already failing one of my classes and so while trying hard to make up for that one I am also trying hard to keep this story up so please read and review!

Only love can sail straight from the harbor
And only love will lead us to the other shore
And out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone
Only love- Only Love by Wynonna Judd

Sakura Blossoms and Kisses: Chapter 14

The final stages had been set into motion. Soon, an all out war would occur in the Fuedal Era. Sesshomaru had rallied his forces from all four lands, and now he would go up against Naraku and his horde of demons. Another demon had joined Sesshomaru and Kagome up front, her name was Yuki Kinowata, and she was a hanyou herself. Her eyes were amber with silver flecks in them while her hair was black with silver and amber streaks through it.

She was part of Sesshomaru's Army, a very surprising fact to anyone who knew how much he used to hate humans and halfbreeds alike. Yuki was abandoned by her human father when she was young, her mother being a demon that lived in the Western Lands. As such, Sesshomaru had let her into his army when she was just 10 in human years. She had to be his most trusted companion and warrior, besides Jaken of course.

"We're almost there, Sesshomaru-sama."

The taiyoukai nodded his head at Yuki's words. Said hanyou jumped from the carriage, landing on her feet with amazing agility before she took off running towards the front of the group. The array of humans and demons going into battle was astounding, even to a warrior such as herself. 'Demons who have defied Lord Sesshomaru are now fighting for him...Humans that he called discrases are giving their lives for him....Whether it be for Lord Sesshomaru or Master Inuyasha, we will overcome Naraku....that discrase of a hanyou will pay.' Yuki thought angrily to herself as she jumped over the last set of demons, placing herself at the front of the army.

Amber eyes looked on in surprise as she took in Naraku's forces. His army was much bigger than the one Sesshomaru had been able to round up on short notice, and it was then that it hit her. 'He set up a trap....that bastard....', she growled in thought as Koga landed beside her.

"It seems we are outnumbered."

The wolf youkai spoke as he looked over their enemy and then back at Yuki. The hanyou just nodded her head as she stepped forward, a hand resting lightly on her shoulder.

"You have been faithful to me, Yuki. I trust you won't fail me now."

Sesshomaru's voice was soft as his amber orbs gazed down at the hanyou. Yuki nodded, returning his gaze for a moment before she looked away.

"The battle will start soon, Sesshomaru-sama....You better check on the miko and her companions."

They fell into a comforting silence as the taiyoukai watched her out of the corner of his eye. Something was bothering her, and it became apparent to him as he followed her line of sight. He reconized the youkai she was looking at immediatly, it was Ryusenkan, the one she was in love with.

"Do not let him deceive you, Yuki."

"I know, Sesshomaru-sama...We are on different sides and if it comes to it, I will kill him."

From on the other side of the battlefield, Ryusenkan stood silently beside Naraku. He had watched as Kagura and Kanna had escaped with the help of Kikyo before the opposing forces arrived. He needed to follow Naraku so he could be free, but his heart called out against all of his protests to Yuki. She had always been a part of him, and now that part was gone.

"You don't belong here Yuki, go home!"

Ryusenkan yelled at Yuki. She was stubborn, but he hoped that she would listen to him and just go.

"You're right! I don't belong with a bastard like you Ryusenkan! Sesshomaru-sama was right about you!"

She growled out before she ran off. The anger in his eyes faded to be replaced by sadness as he put his hand to his cheek, pulling it back to see it stained with blood. She had landed her attack without him noticing until know. And so, as his wound bled, his heart did as well.

Naraku watched Ryusenkan closely, a smirk appearing on his face. He had torn the lovers apart, like he had done to so many before. Now, they hated eachother and they were fighting on opposite sides; each willing to give their life for the one they were fighting for. 'Lord Sesshomaru will always remember the day he crossed paths with me. I've made his life a living hell and I will continue to do so..That brother of his should've been mine, just like Kikyo...' The demented half demon thought to himself, letting loose a bone chilling chuckle((ya know the one..."Kukukukuku....")).

This would be the battle that would end it all...The Shikon No Tama could be his, all he had to do was win.Yet, he wasn't just after the Jewel Of Four Souls anymore..He also wanted Tenseiga, Tetsusaiga, and Toukijin....but what he wanted most of all was the hanyou prince, and his former miko lover. 'Everything will fall into place, and the Fires of Hell will consume this land when I win..'

Gwg: Yes, I know...a short chapter with a long time coming...mom wouldn't let me really do anything until I brought up my Algebra 1, Physical Science, and World Geography grades...but anywho, I finally got this chapter out and I hope you like it. Yuki and Ryusenkan belong to me...although they were based upon two friends of mine in a way. Anyways, I want atleast 5 reviews, 10 at the most before I post the next chapter in which the battle will start (hopefully). I would also like to thank all my lovely reviewers, they do mean the world to me and they help me get ideas. So, until next time, ja ne!
