The samurai lined up against the outer edges of the palace, all was silent, and no one was insight. The Commander made his way through his warriors to view the battle field. His red hair gleamed against the setting sun making his eyes seem possessed. Grabbing two jewel shards from his black Gi he raised it up and stared through them.

"This is the night, I can feel it my troops, and with these shards I cant be defeated!"

"heheh, please, two shards cannot suffice."

Startled the commander looked around to find the voice

"Assume battle position men!"

At that time a woman appeared from the shadows, she was equipped with a set of samurai swords and scars from battle, which led the commander to believe she was a challenge. Staring right at him the women placed her left hand at the tip of the sheath and went into position to attack.

"A man ready to battle, cannot be here to serve my lord. You death has been demanded."

"How dare you, we are here to fight alongside the lord incase of war"

The commander silenced his disrupting guard and drew his sword from his brown Hakama pants.

"We'll see what you can do, line one attack!"

Swiftly the line ran towards the samurai but one by one they were slashed and killed. The samurai's turning and spinning left a wave of blood along the ground, the dead men lay, eyes open, and peaceful like. As she resheathed her newly stained sword the women watched closely as the blood lifted from the ground and men. The blood evaporated into a thin red mist.

"What matter of sorcery is this!" the commander demanded.

"Sorcery, no, this is a demon forged sword, it has great abilities. I am the only master of it."

The commander's eyes went to mere slits and he was engulfed in power. When the dark power dissipated a large snake demon stood at its wake.

The samurai sneered at the sight of the dark green scales, there was nothing human about him now, he was full of the need to kill and his eyes now shown red with power.

"It would figure I didn't get a normal enemy." The samurai said but smiled.

Lord Kiosu stood behind a Sakura tree shocked. He would have allowed a demon into his castle and his life would be lost by now, but this women, whom showed from no where was defending him with a marvelous sword. Did he want the woman or the sword…?

The demon lunged at Ketsueki, scraping her arm with its scales when she dodged. Instead of stopping the demon went for another attack and before Kiosu realized it he was in the direct path of it.

"Lord Kiosu! Get out of the way!" Ketsueki hollered but the demon slammed hard against him and dust from the earth's floor filled the air. Was it over? The demon surely killed the lord with that attack.

The smoke settled and to Ketsueki's surprise the lord stood dumbfounded at the side of another demon. His white hair blown against the wind along with his red kimono and four more people appeared from behind him with a small demon like cat.

"How dare you s-steal my prey half demon"

"He has a shard Inuyasha!"

"Right, I'm on it Kagome, puh, listen demon, I may be a half breed but I can definitely defeat you and get another jewel shard!"

Inuyasha drew his sword ready for battle but the demon turned his back on him and went for Ketsueki again.

"what do ya think your doin, I'm not finished yet!"

At that time Ketsueki drew her sword once more and slashed the demon along the stomach, leaving the Inuyasha group shocked at the sight of the dissipating blood. The previous red mist and the new merged. Ketsueki then sealed it within a small vile.

"Who the hell are you? Why do you rink of Naraku's scent!" Inuyasha hollered.

Before she could answer a monk appeared in front of her taking her hands.

"Will you be so honored as to bear my child Miss?

She was shocked and nonetheless annoyed now, this half man Naraku had wanted to kill had almost ruined her plans and now this perverted monk had the nerve to ask such a thing.

"What would you do if I said I already had?" she said grinning evilly.

"wha?" Miroku stared shocked and Sango approached.

Ketsueki chuckled a bit and jutted the monk with her sword hilt to make him back off.

Laughing that had upraised died down quickly as a large swarm of Naraku's poisonous insects appeared. Inuyasha and the others gave her a peculiar look. Why was the saimyoshu coming to her?

She raised the Vile and one slowly flew down and grabbed it, taking off. Naraku's voice was heard in the air.

"heheheheh, Well done Ketsueki, its enough blood for me to become full demon…"
