'thoughts'

...

Tea ran blindly towards the village, hoping that Sesshomaru wouldn't follow her. She still couldn't believe he had acted like that. The image of his eyes flashed in her mind. His eyes held nothing more then lust and hunger. If she hadn't run away, he could have raped her. The animosity in his eyes told her he would have killed her. Tears stormed from her eyes. She had trusted him and that's what she received in return.

The gang sat outside the hut, talking among themselves. Suddenly, they heard sounds of running steps and crying. They turned to look in the direction the sound was coming from and were shocked to see Tea. When she saw them, she increased her speed. Joey moved forward and grabbed her. She fell into his arms and buried her face in his chest, crying. He held her while the other gathered around. Yugi was the first one to speak.

"Tea, what happened? Why are you crying?" She only cried more.

"Did someone try to hurt you?" Seto Kaiba said, trying to keep his voice normal. Upon hearing his voice, Tea looked up.

"He…. He…" She sobbed.

"Who is "he" Tea?" Yugi asked.

"Is it Sesshomaru?" Kaiba said. Tea's answer was more crying.

"I knew it. That bastard couldn't be trusted." Inuyasha said holding his tetsaiga tightly.

"What did he do to ya Tea?" joey growled.

"I went… to see him… and he… he tried to… he said that… he…" Tea couldn't finish it. She started crying again. How could she tell them that he had tried to rape her, hurt her, torture her and kill her?

"Did he try to hurt you?" Joey said. Tea nodded and tried to cover herself. The way Sesshomaru had looked at her made her feel exposed and naked. She suddenly pulled away from Joey and wrapped her arms over her breasts as if trying to cover them. Kaiba noticed this and took his trench coat off. He placed it over her shoulders and she quickly wrapped it around herself tightly. There was no doubt left in Kaiba's mind. That bastard had tried to rape her. She had managed to escape somehow but was still scared.

"Let's go inside." Kagome suggested and they all nodded. Tea walked between Yugi and Kaiba. She kept looking over her shoulder, as if to make sure Sesshomaru wasn't there. Once inside the hut, Kagome and Sango inspected Tea for any injuries but found none except a few bite marks on her neck. She was physically okay but mentally scared.

"I swear I'm gonna kill that bastard." Joey yelled loudly.

"How could he try to hurt the only person who cared for him?" Kagome said sadly.

"Lord Sesshomaru didn't hurt Tea." Rin said and everyone turned to look at her. She sat in a corner with Mokuba and Shippo. She hadn't spoken with the gang much but now she seemed ready to defend Sesshomaru.

"Oh yeah? Then who did?" Tristan asked.

"I don't know." Rin honestly replied.

"It was he. He was the one." Inuyasha said.

"No, lord Sesshomaru would never hurt Tea or me. He told me so." Rin said.

"News flash kid. He did hurt Tea and you could be next." Kaiba said.

"No." Rin screamed, distressed that no one was believing her. "Lord Sesshomaru would never hurt me or Tea. He promised. He would never break a promise." Rin whispered it to herself.

"He's a demon. He has no values. Breaking a promise is easy for him, just like breaking a neck." Sango said.

"You can never trust a demon." Miroku said and Inuyasha frowned.

"Hey, I'm a demon too you know." He said.

"Half demon Inuyasha." Miroku corrected him and inuyasha grumbled.

"I don't care who or what he is. I'm gonna kick his ass." Joey said.

"You might get your chance sooner than you think. I sense a powerful demonic aura approaching." Sango said.

"It's Sesshomaru." Inuyasha said drawing his sword. Tea whimpered in fear as the guys got up to face Sesshomaru.

"No, don't leave me. Please." She begged them to stay.

"Don't worry Tea. We will protect you." Yugi assured her.

"But we have to go out and kick that demon's sorry ass. We'll bring you his head." Joey said, hoping to make Tea smile. He failed. All he received was a fearful stare.

"Kaiba, please you stay." Tea said holding his pants. He had saved her before from Kaugra. She felt that he could save her from anything. Kaiba bent down at level with her.

"As long as I am here, he can't touch you. I give you my word." Kaiba said. His assuring eyes gave Tea the courage she so desperately needed, and she let go of him.

"Kagome, you stay here with Tea. You too Shippo, protect them." Miroku said. The duo nodded.

"Mokuba, stay with them." Kaiba said to his little brother who nodded.

"Lets go kick some demon butt." Joey said and Inuyasha grumbled something.

The guys and Sango waited for Sesshomaru to approach. He appeared with Kaken following closely behind. They got ready for the worst.

Sesshomaru was surprised at his reception. Jaken was surprised as well. When they approached the group, sesshomaru noticed they all looked bloodthirsty. And Tea was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is Tea?" He said in an emotionless voice, which caused the group to get even angrier.

"You bastard." Joey yelled.

"How dare you even think about her after what you did to her?" Tristan said with as much anger as joey.

"What did I do to her?" Sesshomaru asked, still displaying no emotion.

"Beside trying to rape her and scare her to death, I guess nothing." Kaiba said sarcastically. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow.

"I never did any of that." He said. "I haven't seen her all day."

"Sure you haven't. And what Tea saw was an illusion." Duke said.

"I should have known you would show your true colors sooner or later Sesshomaru. You are a despicable creature." Inuyasha said charging at him. Sesshomaru easily dodged it.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I want to see Tea. Where is she?" Sesshomaru said and tried to walk towards the hut, but Kaiba and Yugi stood in his way.

"You are not going anywhere near her." Yugi said determinedly. The millennium puzzle around his neck glowed and Yami appeared.

"Get out of my way." Sesshomaru warned in a deadly calm tone. But everyone stood in front of him, blocking his way.

"If you wanna hurt her again, you'll have to go through us." Sango said.

"I have no intentions of hurting her." Sesshomaru stated. Just then, hundreds of demons emerged from the forest. They were armed, ready to fight. Everyone turned his or her attention to him or her.

"We are here to assist you lord Sesshomaru, just liked you ordered." One demon said, holding his weapon.

"So you planned to kill all of us too. I should have known." Yami said. "If it's a battle you want, it's a battle you'll get." He said shuffling his cards. The others followed.

"Are these the humans you want killed my lord?" The leader of the demon army said. Sesshomaru turned to glare at him. He moved back in fear.

"What am I saying? Of course these are. Everyone, charge forward and kill these filth." All the demons moved forward to attack. The gang summoned monsters to defend themselves. Inuyasha got ready with his tetsaiga. Sango held her weapon Hiraikotsu, and Miroku held his palm, ready to unleash the wind tunnel. But Sesshomaru stepped before the demons. They stopped, afraid to touch him.

"Why are you here?" He asked them.

"What are you saying my lord? You asked us to kill some humans who were a nuisance to you. You told us that they may prove to be troublesome since they posses some strange powers. So we are here to kill them my lord." The demon said.

"I knew it. You did want to kill us." Joey said. Sesshomaru glared at him and turned to the demon again.

"I never asked you anything. I didn't even meet you today." Sesshomaru stated.

"We saw you my lord. You came to us." The demon said. Sesshomaru grabbed his neck.

"Are you saying that I'm lying?" The demon went pale.

"N… no my lord." He chocked out.

"I suggest you leave with that army of yours. Besides, if I do need to kill these humans, I wouldn't need any help." Sesshomaru said. The demons gulped and quickly flew or ran away from there.

"Is this some act to fool us into a false sense of security? Do you think we will believe you and let you go to Tea?" Sango said, clearly not convinced.

"What are you planning Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha said.

"I'm not planning anything. I didn't call them." Sesshomaru said.

"As if we would believe that. First you said that you didn't hurt Tea and she told us otherwise. Now you say that you didn't call those demons and they said they saw you and came at your order. Who are you trying to fool here?" Bakura said. Just then, hundreds of demons emerged from the sky again.

"You bastard, you only pretended to send them away." Duke yelled. The demons attacked them, but they also attacked Sesshomaru. This confused the rest of the group.

"I didn't call any demons." Sesshomaru said as he killed the demons that came near him. The guys seemed convinced as most of the demons were attacking Sesshomaru. They also summoned their monsters and destroyed those who attacked them. But no matter how many they destroyed, more appeared from the sky. They continued to fight. After an intense and long battle, the demons stopped appearing. Everyone sighed in relief and from tiredness.

"Finally. I thought they were never going to stop." Joey said.

"Me too." Bakura admitted.

"I hope they didn't attack the hut where the girls are." Miroku said.

"Let's go check up on them." Tristen said. They ran towards the hut. Sesshomaru followed. No one tried to stop him this time.

"I see smoke coming from there." Yami said worriedly.

"It's been attacked." Inuyasha said as he ran towards it. The others followed him. They approached just in time to see it collapse. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru jumped inside and dragged the people outside before it collapsed on them.

After they put them on the ground, the others gathered to see who was hurt. Kagome and Shippo were hurt badly. Rin and Mokuba were unconscious and Tea was missing.

"What happened Kagome?" Inuyasha said kneeling before her.

"Sesshomaru… attacked." Kagome said. This shocked the guys.

(Flashback)

"What happened out there Tea?" Kagome asked her, too curious to let it go.

"I went to see him…. and he said he hated me. He said he wanted to extract payment of some kind from me." Tea said shaking at the memory. "His eyes… they were glowing red. He was... he was going to kill me. I have never been so scared in my life."

"Don't worry Tea. Inuyasha will take care of him now." Kagome assured her.

"Seto promised he won't let him hurt you so he won't let him enter the house." Mokuba said. "And if Sesshomaru somehow runs fro them and comes here, I will handle him." Mokuba said holding his deck.

Just as he finished speaking, Sesshomaru emerged at the door. His eyes were fixed on Tea, who whimpered in fear and tried to hide herself behind Kagome. Mokuba and Shippo stood in front of him, blocking his way.

"What do you want Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked, holing her bow tightly.

"I want Tea." Sesshomaru said in a deadly tone.

"She doesn't want to go." Mokuba said.

"I don't need to listen to you pathetic mortals." Sesshomaru said and attacked them. Kagome tried to hit him with her arrow but he dodged it easily, hitting her on the side of her head and knocking her unconscious. Mokuba tried to draw a card but Sesshomaru was faster. He sharpened his claws and attacked him, sending him and Shippo flying through the air and hitting a wall, rendering them unconscious as well. He then advanced towards Tea with a devilish look on his face. Rin ran towards him.

"No lord Sesshomaru. What are you doing?" She said tugging at his clothes. He glared at her and hit her face. She fell on the floor, unconscious.

"Come on Tea. We have much to do." Sesshomaru said as he took a struggling Tea in his arms. She screamed and tried to hit him but it was no use. He smirked and squeezed the side of her neck. She immediately fell unconscious. He then flew out through the roof of the house and out of sight.

(End flashback)

"That's impossible. Sesshomaru was with us." Yami said in disbelief.

"Then who could that Sesshomaru be?" Duke wondered.

"Whoever it was surely wanted a rift between Sesshomaru and Tea to separate them." Bakura concluded.

"This is all too familiar." Inuyasha said with a frown.

"Of course it is Inuyasha. The same thing happened with you and Kikyo." Sango said.

"What happened with them?" Yami asked.

"Naraku disguised himself as Inuyasha and hurt Kikyo. She, believing it was Inuyasha, sealed Inuyasha to a tree." Miroku said.

"Do you think it was Naraku who attacked Tea?" Inuyasha suddenly said.

"It seems like the best explanation." Sango said. By that time, Sesshomaru and Kaiba joined them. Kaiba had been treating Mokuba and speaking with him to make sure he was okay. Sesshomaru had been tending to Rin, making sure that the unconscious child wasn't terribly hurt. As he heard their conversation, his eyes went red with anger. His demonic energy sprang out of him and his hair flew in air. The ground started shaking violently and everyone ran to get as far away from him as possible. Then there was a huge explosion where Sesshomaru stood which blinded the rest. They covered their eyes and when the smoke cleared, there was a giant hole there, as if a bomb had dropped where Sesshomaru had been standing. He, however, was missing.

"Holy shit. What the hell was that?" Joey said with wide eyes, dusting his clothes.

"The demon lord is very angry." Miroku said.

"Of course he is." A voice from behind them spoke. It was Jaken. "Rin is hurt and Tea has been taken away by Naraku. This is unacceptable for Lord Sesshomaru."

"What is he going to do now?" Tristan asked Jaken.

"There will be bloodshed, a lot of it. I have seen Lord Sesshomaru angry before and it's never good for any living creature that comes across him when he is in that state. But even I have never seen Lord Sesshomaru this angry before. I am not sure what kind of vengeance he will unleash." Jaken explained.

"What was all the blast about?" Duke asked.

"That was his energy. Lord Sesshomaru is one of the most powerful demons in the world, even more powerful then Naraku. But he also possesses the strength to control that great power. What you just experienced is a slight loss of control." Jaken said.

"Slight? Then what is complete?" Joey asked.

"All life forms for kilometers may be erased if that happens." Jaken stated.

"Holy shit, I knew that guy was strong, but this is unbelievable." Tristan said in amazement.

"Are we going to keep talking or are we going to rescue Gardner?" Kaiba said, irritated by the conversation.

"We do, but we don't know where Naraku is." Inuyasha said.

"Seemed like Sesshomaru knew it pretty well." Bakura said.

"Then we should follow him." Joey said.

"We can't. He is too fast even for me to follow." Inuyasha admitted sourly.

"We could always follow the trail of destruction he left behind." Yami said, pointing at the trail of burnt trees and destroyed land.

"Good idea." Miroku said. "Let's go."

"Wait, we have to do something about these injured people." Duke said pointing to an barely conscious Kagome and Mokuba and unconscious Rin and Shippo.

"Take them inside the house and call Kaede. She will take care of them." Inuyasha suggested and the rest agreed. The picked up the people and carried them inside.

"Mokuba, I want you to stay here, in this hut." Kaiba sternly said to Mokuba.

"But I want to go with you Seto." Mokuba whined.

"It is dangerous out there Mokuba. Listen to your brother." Yami said.

"But I'd be safer with you guys." Mokuba reasoned.

"No you won't. You will stay here." Kaiba said in a final tone. "And I'll make sure you're safe." When they all stepped outside the house, Seto drew a card and summoned it.

"Blue Eyes White Dragon, come forth." He commanded. Through the flashing white light appeared the magnificent beast, amazing everyone. "Blue Eyes, guard this house and my brother at all costs." Seto commanded and the beast roared in obedience.

"Tristen and Duke, I think you should stay back as well, to take care of these people in case Naraku comes back or sends any of his demons." Yami said and they nodded.

"Okay guys, let's go kick Naraku's ass." Joey said.

"Well Sango, this is what we've been waiting for." Inuyasha said to Sango.

"Yes." She replied thoughtfully. "But I can't help but think that the worst is yet to come."
