Chapter 9: Battle begins
"I know and there is no way we could possibly escape this fight even if we tried." Inuyasha drew his sword and placed it in a defensive stance.
Yuki stole a glance at her father. Things were not going to end well for any one here tonight. She was feeling really confused right now at this very moment in time. Her mate even though he showed no expression on his face he stood slightly defensively in front of her. Anxiety started to form in the pit of her stomach.
"This is not good. Miroku, Inuyasha, the only way we even stand a chance is if . . ." Sesshomaru cut Sango off with his monotone voice.
"Inuyasha, tonight we will put aside our differences and we shall work together." His face never left Kagura's. Behind her fan she was smirking. Her red eyes held amusement.
"Fine!" Inuyasha growled. "It's not as if I have a choice in the matter." He kept his eyes on his brother. He knew he would need his help if he were going to have even the slightest chance of surviving. He needed all the help he could get to protect his mate and his unborn child.
"Gegin, Kai! Help us fight them!" Yuki hollered over her shoulder. She saw her two faithful servants nodded their heads in agreement. She turned her attention back to the wind witch named Kagura. All of them stood there at a stalemate waiting for the other to make the first move.
Kagura was beginning to grow impatient. She was waiting for Naraku and that crazy demon woman with her other daughter to show up. 'I'm tried of waiting for them to show up. So, I will take matters into my own hands.' She thought. She raised her red and white fan above her head, "Dance of the Dragons!" she yelled as she swung down her fan in an arch. Mini wind tunnels burst forth and attacked them.
Sesshomaru drew Tokijin and sliced the mini wind tunnels in half with little to no effort on his part. The wind tunnels dispersed from which they had come. He took a side ways glance at his brother whose back was turned against him in a feeble attempt to shield his mate from the petty attack. 'Pointless move.' He thought.
As if on cue the demon puppets attacked. Their tentacles sprouted forth from under the monkey like cloaks. Panic began to fill the group of humans. Sango threw giant boomerang. She was able to slice off one of the puppets heads. She raised her hand in the air to catch to returning weapon.
"Father! You and your mate go to my castle! You're to weak to fight this battle!" Yuki yelled as she used her claws to slice off another puppets head. Miroku was whacking off tentacles and blocking them at the same time like a mad man.
"I agree with her Inuyasha, take Kagome and get going we will hold them off as long as we can so you both can get to safety. You're useless to us till morning! You can help us when you get your demon powers back." Miroku whacked off another tentacle.
"Right! Come on Kagome lets go!" he wrapped his arm around Kagome's waist and started head for the castle. Kagome nodded her head in agreement and allowed Inuyasha to lead her away with Shippo shaking uncontrollably in her arms.
"Gegin, Kai, go with them and protect them!" Yuki didn't even turn her attention away from the puppets. Either way she knew that they bowed and followed after her father.
"No you don't, Dance of Blades!" Kagura waved her fan sending out blades of wind towards Inuyasha and Kagome. Sesshomaru simply stepped in the way and blocked the attack.

Kouga raced forward faster and faster. The feeling of urgency was getting stronger and stronger. He soon left his whirlwind behind in his dust. He raced to the village from which his chosen mate loved to be. He hoped that by the gods she was all right. He hadn't seen her in months.
He smirked. 'Mutt face better not have hurt my woman or allowed her to be hurt. If she is . . . he will regret the day his worthless life was ever born into this world.' He growled at the thought. Still he felt something wasn't right. He was nearing the village and the feeling was only getting stronger. The jewel shards in his legs glowed with all the effort he was using. He had to find Kagome and he had to find her fast.

"Naraku, are we almost there?" Keiko looked at the self-made half breed. She smirked slightly, 'My he looks a lot like a woman in man's clothing.' She chuckled earning her a strange look from him.
"Your really eager to get this over with are you not?" She stared at him blankly before nodding her head. "We will arrive there in a few moments." He looked away from her to amuse himself with his own thoughts of the slaughter of the human group and all of the pain that will be on Inuyasha's face.

Kohaku attacked his sister relentlessly. The jewel shard on his back glowed pink as it was controlling him. Sango fought her brother, but was trying as hard as she could not to hurt her little brother.
"Kohaku! Please! Don't you remember me? Please Kohaku stop this!" she cried. She hated seeing her brother like this. She dodged another swing of her brother's weapon. Miroku all the while killed the last puppet with the swing of his staff and exorcism sutras. Inuyasha and Kagome almost made it to the castle when "they" had arrived.
Naraku descended from the sky with Keiko, Sakura, and Kanna not to mention other unimportant demons. Before anyone could react Naraku shot out his tentacles and wrapped them around Inuyasha's throat, hands, wrists, across his chest, and abdomen. He dragged Inuyasha closer.
"INUYASHAAAAA!" Kagome screamed as the warmth of her mate was removed from her side. To her horror Naraku held the struggling Inuyasha within his tentacles. She tried to run after him, but Gegin and Kai grabbed her and drug her to the safety of the castle. "NOO!"
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha made a feeble attempt to reach out for her. Yuki turned around to see her father held tightly in Naraku's grasp. She stopped fighting. The others stopped fighting as Naraku's evil laughter surrounded them like a warm suffocating blanket.
"Good now I have all of your attention." Naraku snaked his hand around to his captive's neck almost in a way a person would touch their lover. He then grasped Inuyasha's neck in his grip tightly to cut off his air supply so he would stop struggling. Once stillness was taking in affect he whispered in to Inuyasha's ear, "The more you struggle the more I will squeeze and if you die there will be no one to protect your mate and unborn child." Inuyasha stopped struggling as Naraku loosened his grip.
"Keiko, I believe you wanted to tell them something." He looked at the woman in an almost loving manner. Keiko nodded her head and stepped forward.
"Hello Yuki, my child." She spat. She began to scan the faces of the people who were there. "Lord Sesshomaru, nice to see you again." Keiko put on a fake smile.
"Enough of the pleasantries and tell me why you finally decided to come out of hiding." He watched her as she began to squirm under his death glare.
"Mother! Why did you lie to me about father? What really happened that night of the fire? Tell me the truth, mother! You set the house on fire and tried to kill dad!" anger radiated off of Yuki.
"So you found out that is was all a set up. Not that it matters any it won't make a difference." She paused to gain her thoughts.
"Stop farting around Mother, and tell me the truth!" Yuki snapped. She saw her mother's eyes narrow.
"Alright you want the truth? I will tell you from the beginning, then. Lord Sesshomaru sold off his little brother to me to gain more power. It was funny now that I think of it. That was all a set up as well just so I could get my hands on your father." Keiko mentally chuckled as she saw the great Lord Sesshomaru furrow his eyebrows. "Your father was at that time still some what of a child. I believe eleven human years. He was dirty and unconscious in Lord Sesshomaru's arms. I could tell that he put up a fight." She smirked she wanted to see the expressions play across their faces. She also knew that Naraku was enjoying it as well.

Kouga found the village Kagome loved to be. Her scent was old. Really old and she hasn't been there for a while. 'Someone must know what is going on here.' He looked into the hut closest to him. The humans inside screamed alerting the others.
Kouga jumped out of the hut plugging his ears from the shrill noise. He growled as the men of the village came at him with their farming tools and any thing else that they could grab.
"Make way for priestess Keade!" one of the human males yelled. The mob parted and an old feeble woman stepped forward holding some bows and arrows.
