Sesshoumaru sat by the campfire looking at the night sky. "I wonder what sango is doing right now." Standing up he brushed off some leaves that had stuck on his pants when he had sat down. "Time for a walk." Turning around he walked into the woods behind him and started to look around. Nothing was around that he could see that was just the way he wanted it to be. No surprises, no attacks, and no naraku. He had followed many leads since he had left the castle, yet none of them had led him anywhere near naraku. He was beginning to think it was a wild goose chase after all, maybe naraku had given up and went back to his territory. No that was not how naraku worked, he would continue to be chased for the rest of his life. Hearing a sound he jumped around and grasped the hilt of his sword. "Who's there?" He yelled into the woods. Kirarra came out and growled softly at him. "Oh hey Kirarra, I just needed to take a walk to clear my head. All of this traveling has started to take a toll on me." He sighed into his hand and walked over to Kirarra. "Let's go and cook some dinner." He got a slow purr from her and he took that as a yes. He took some of the meat that they had gotten earlier that day out of his pack and set it on the pickets above the fire. "That will take a while to cook. Then its time to eat." Getting another purr he put his head back and looked at the stars once more.

Sango stood up from the table and grabbed her plate. "That was a good dinner. Are we all ready to go?" She looked around the wall to look at Taya. Lifting her head Taya looked at sango and smiled. "Just about done, just need to pack a few girls like essentials and we are done." She got a smile and a giggle from sango and started to go back to packing. Sango went back to the table and started to clean up the remains of their dinner. After 3 months they were finally going to go after Sesshoumaru. After he left so suddenly they had to work on trying to find him and since both of them were injured they couldn't leave immediately like they wanted to. She allowed herself a smile and took the plates back into the kitchen. "I am going to get our clothes and be right back down." Setting the dishes into the bucket she turned and partly skipped into the grand entranceway. The entranceway doors burst open and sango stood there trying to adjust her eyes to the blinding light that filled the hall. "I have finally found you, sango the demon slayer. I expected you would be hiding away from us for as long as you could. I am here to kill you my wonderful angel, I am miroku your dead lover. I am here to kill you and wreak havoc upon sesshoumaru's castle"

Sesshoumaru woke to the smell of burnt meat and shook his head quick to get the sleep out of his eyes. "What's that? What's burning?" he looked around and saw the source. The meat he had set on the fire was way overcooked and some parts were even on fire. Grabbing what he could he threw the burnt parts onto the ground and sighed. "you were supposed to wake me up Kirarra. "he smiled and turned to where he last saw her, yet she wasn't there. "Kirarra...sango's gonna kill me if you've gotten lost. Wait...she's gonna kill me anyways for leaving anyways." He looked around to make sure she wasn't there and started to worry. "Without her I cant get off this plateau." A sound echoed through the woods causing his hand to go to the hilt of his sword. "Kirarra, don't be messing with me this time." The sound ripped through the woods again causing him to grin. "About time someone came to challenge me, its been a while since vie fought someone." he drew tokijin and raced off towards the sound. He saw a small glimmer of a sword in the moonlight and he smiled even more. "Prepare to die you filthy hanyou. The swords clashed and the two opponents pushed as hard as they could to make the other back off. Sesshoumaru broke the clinch and swung his leg under his opponents, expecting to trip him, but as his leg swung around it hit nothing. He did his best to hide his surprise but was forced to roll away as a sword was brought down near his head. "you sure are good, whoever you are." he saw the flash of teeth and heard a snarl making him whip around. "Two hanyous...no this is a trick. It has to be." he swung tokijin to the left and unleashed a blue wave of demon aura and devastating the trees and underbrush that was in its way. "You are making me extremely angry and believe me...that's not something you want to do. A figure jumped into a tree to his right and smiled. "Come now Sesshoumaru, you cannot be that mad at me. After all I am your brother." The remark caused a chuckle to come out of sesshoumaru's mouth. "My brother is dead. He was killed in the attack that leveled my entire castle." the figure jumped out of the tree and came into the moonlight, his silver hair and red kimono was a dead give away as to who he was. "Do you believe me now brother?" Sesshoumaru grinned and chuckled. "You are a reincarnation aren't you?" Inuyasha shrugged. "How should I know? Im here and that's all that counts right?" without waiting for a response inuyasha lunged at Sesshoumaru with speed that matched the lord himself. Sesshoumaru was caught completely off guard as the sword made its way completely through his stomach and out his back. The last things he saw before he blacked out was inuyasha kneeling down above him and whispering into his ear. "Im sorry I had to do that, but lay low till you heal. Goodbye till another time brother."
