Naraku flew over a forest and past a village, completely unseen, but not unfelt. He flew, clutching the limp form of Kagome all the while, past a few mountains to his castle. Naraku descended and landed with a soft "thump". He then tossed Kagome aside as if she were a piece of trash. As he looked around he decided he should find Kagura to congratulate her on her affective spell. He turned around not to see Kagura, but Sesshoumaru.
"And what are you doing here?" Naraku asked teasingly.
"I still have not gotten my revenge." Sesshoumaru said as he slowly made his way out of the shadows. His white hair swayed in the wind as he drew Tenseiga.
"All mutts are the same," Naraku said coldly. "They both think they can destroy me, how wrong they are," he said with a slight laugh.
"How wrong you are," Sesshoumaru said as he raised his sword in preparation to attack.
Another laugh pierced the air and Naraku smiled. "You fool! No one can pierce my body…"
There was a large flash of light, and Naraku looked around shocked. While he was talking, Sesshoumaru had fired an attack at him. It barely damaged his barrio and once again Naraku smiled, but before he had a chance to say anything, Sesshoumaru sent another attack while the barrio was still weak.
Another large flash of light shone through the entire area. Sesshoumaru's attack came crashing sown on the barrier and shattered it to pieces.
Sesshoumaru smiled and said, "I knew you were only talk." He raised his sword and brought it down a third time with a jolt of red light. It headed straight at Naraku who smiled and disappeared into a cloud of smoke just as the blast of red light rushed through him. The dark cloud floated up and over the mountains.
Sesshoumaru slowly put Tenseiga back in the scabbard, while cursing under his breath. He turned around and began walking away when he heard a slight breathing. He turned back around and looked over to the spot where Kagome was lying. He walked over to her and knelt down. Kagome's breath came to her in short, quick breaths. Sesshoumaru lowered his head and sniffed her.
"It's that wench that travels with InuYasha," he murmured quietly to himself.
"Lord Sesshoumaru!" a voice called from behind him. Sesshoumaru turned around to see Rin and Jaken, and Ah-Un coming towards him.
Rin ran up to Sesshoumaru and wrapped her tiny arms around his neck embracing him. She pulled back with a smile on her face, and a glint in her eyes and said, "I've missed you."
"I've only been gone for a few hours," Sesshoumaru replied, "besides, you weren't supposed to follow me." He added as he looked at Jaken.
"Pl…please master. Rin wanted to make sure you were alright." Jaken said in and attempt to cover up for himself.
"It's alright," Sesshoumaru replied. Jaken relieved slid to the ground and wipe his forehead.
Sesshoumaru turned back to Rin who was staring at Kagome. "Who is she? She looks familiar," she said.
"Her name is Kagome," Sesshoumaru said. "She's going to be joining us for a while," he added.
Rin smiled and then ran over to tell Jaken the good news. Her long black hair swayed in the wind and Sesshoumaru smiled. He then turned his attention back to Kagome, wondering what he should do. He slowly slid his arms under Kagome's limp figure and gently lifted her up into his arms. He turned around to face Rin and Jaken and said, "let's go."
"But Master," Jaken cut in, "do you think it is wise to keep her with us? Surly your brother…"
"Jaken, she's coming with us. End of discussion." Sesshoumaru said as he began to walk away. "Rin, Jaken, let's go," he said once again.
Rin grabbed the beasts' reins and silently followed Jaken who was already behind Sesshoumaru. They followed him silently as he led the way out of the mountains.
