Chapter 3

Kagome sat down in a grassy field enjoying the fresh air as the time passed while Inuyasha remained close by practicing with his Tetsuaiga.

"Mou Inuyasha! Come over here and sit with me." Kagome called to her hanyou.

"Ha…no one will be able to stop me." Inuyasha smirked as he sheathed his Tetsuaiga and sat down next to Kagome.

"You look like your more then ready to take on Naraku now Inuyasha!"

"Heh…with the Wind Scar, the Backlash Wave and you and the gang by my side I should be more then ready to defeat Naraku!" Inuyasha announced proudly.

Kagome smiled and rubbed his ears. "Good boy!"

"Ehhh…! What did I say about that?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow upon the question.

"Sorry!" She blushed with a smile. "…It's just…I'm so proud."

"Huh?"

"Not just of you…but me…and everyone else." She admitted. "We've come so far...and after all we've been through…I know we will be able to defeat Naraku and restore the Shikon Jewel to perfection."

"Right, we will succeed in defeating Naraku."

"…And then…we can…I mean I…" She stammered. "The Jewel…the wish…"

"Kagome?" Inuyasha questioned in a concerned voice as he sensed her sudden feelings of despair.

"Inuyasha…!" Her eyes widening; surveying the area from atop their high top grassy field.

"What's wrong Kagome?"

"I sense it…the Shikon Jewel!" She yelled excitedly as she searched the wide land with her brown eyes.

"I can smell Naraku as well…" Inuyasha growled as he got into a defensive position.

"Really?"

"It's faint…but I can smell him…" Inuyasha replied in a stern tone of voice.

"Inuyasha!" Sango yelled from above. Sitting atop Kilala with Miroku by her side.

"Let's go after him before he gets away!" Inuyasha replied as he lifted Kagome up on his back and readied to take off.

"Right! Let's go Inuyasha! I sense the jewel's powers increasing!"

"Naraku…sore wa yarou…!" Inuyasha growled as he took to the skies.

"Hmph…Naraku replied; gripping the nearly formed Shikon Jewel in his hand. "You are nothing…not until you are completely restored."

"I sense the jewel in the forest over there!" Kagome yelled; pointing into the shadows of the deep, dark forest.

"But…I will make use of you…" Naraku muttered as he began placing a spell on the jewel in Yume's hand.

"The Fukai Mori…!"

"What's wrong? Hey? Where's Shippou!"

"Lady Kaede had sent Shippou into the Fukai Mori to get food."

"Poor Shippou…" Kagome muttered in a concerned tone of voice.

"Great…the little moron is probably running around scared now…" Inuyasha replied in an uncaring tone of voice.

"Oh great…!" Shippou thought as he hid behind a tree in the Fukai Mori. "Kaede said no demons would come out at this hour…but right there near the lake of the Fukai Mori is this huge dragon demon…and Sesshoumaru is there fighting it!"

"Naraku too?" Shippou thought fearfully as he saw the evil demon perched above the trees surveying the battle.

Shippou cringed in fear as he watched how deadly close each demon's attacks came towards him and his hiding spot.

"Please Kagome…Inuyasha…everybody get here fast!" He thought anxiously.

"We're almost there Inuyasha!" Miroku yelled; seeing the many trees aligning the Fukai Mori.

"Yeah I know…Naraku's scent is even stronger then…!" Inuyasha began, trailing off as he realized that it wasn't just Naraku in the Fukai Mori.

As Inuyasha and the gang entered the Fukai Mori they were greeted by not just an unrelenting demon with a Shikon Jewel planted within it's tail but a mysterious demon and Inuyasha's older brother Sesshoumaru.

"They're here!" Rin replied excitedly as she recognized the group entering the Fukai Mori.

"Where's Naraku! It's as if his scent had just vanished."

"He's gone Inuyasha…as you shall be too if you get in my way." Sesshoumaru growled.

"Damn it…Sesshoumaru…" Inuyasha growled in return; seeing his brother in battle ready mode as always.

"You belong to me little one…" Yume muttered as he placed the Shikon jewel down on the branch he stood on. "You will be the one to make my plan a success."

"Inuyasha and his friends are here…great" Jaken sighed. "…They'll help to even up things a bit." Jaken muttered as he watched the confrontation.

"You too!" Inuyasha asked; enraged as he saw his brother standing in between the confrontation.

"Stay out of this half breed…" Sesshoumaru replied in his usually cold tone of voice; blasting Inuyasha with his sword. Inuyasha only narrowly escaping the blast of Sesshoumaru's incredible sword.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried as she came to his aid.

"That bastard…" Inuyasha growled as he got to his feet. "Sesshoumaru!"

"Ah…hahahah…isn't this quaint?" Yume asked rhetorically.

"Don't worry wench I have enough power to kill you and your demon snake!" Inuyasha yelled triumphantly as he leapt into the air and unsheathed his Tetsuaiga.

"Inuyasha…!" Kagome screamed as she watched the hanyou begin to attack.

"This ends now! Kaze no Kisu!" He yelled; a torrent of wind being hurled at the evil demon only to have it dispelled.

"Shimatta…!" Inuyasha muttered in surprise; forgetting that the enemy's barrier would automatically go up.

"You think you can kill me THAT easily?" She smiled; her staff planted lightly into the thick branch she stood on.

"Just what exactly is your purpose here, huh? I've never seen you here before!" Inuyasha asked.

"Not to worry Inuyasha and friends…you'll all find out soon enough." She replied as she placed the Shikon Jewel onto the branch she stood on.

"That's the!" Kagome began.

"Priestess? You want this don't you? If you can defeat my pet you may take it as your own." She smiled; her voice echoing in the shadows as she placed a barrier upon the jewel and flew up into air back to watch the battle.

"Nice going little brother…" Sesshoumaru teased as he lifted up his sword and prepared to fight.

"I'll kill you!" Inuyasha roared as he gripped Tetsuagia and aimed it at Sesshoumaru.

Yume smiled as she caught a glimpse of Rin hiding behind the bushes with Jaken. "Now to make things even more interesting."

"Wait! Sesshoumaru? Inuyasha!" Kagome called; getting in between the two demons. "We're not here to fight!" Kagome cried.

From her hiding place in the castle the beautiful female demon smiled at the fiery dragon youkai.

"Your so wonderful …" She replied in a sensual voice as she watched the creature attack it's opponents.

"Wait a minute…the creature? IT belongs to?" Kagura questioned.

"Yes…it belongs to Yume…the dark priestess of dreams and nightmares."

"Kill the priestess first Murasaki…then go after Sesshoumaru's human child." Yume commanded.

"Kagome is right Inuyasha! We have more important things to worry about then your petty squabbles with your older brother!" Shippou yelled as he reminded the hanyou and the youkai brothers of their dilemma with the Shikon shard possessed demon.

"Kanna…Kagura…distract the others while Yume completes part one of my plan." Naraku ordered.

The two demonic sisters obeyed they're master as they disappeared from his castle and appeared inside the Fukai Mori.

"Hmph…you fool…Inuyasha…your human seems much wiser then you are…choosing to put things aside in order to deal with the real dilemma first." Sesshoumaru replied in a sarcastic voice.

"Kisama…!" Inuyasha growled as he caught sight of his older brother.

"Inuyasha! You and Kagome go and assist your brother with the flame demon….Sango and I can handle Kagura!" Miroku ordered as he took to the skies with Sango and Kilala.

"Assist! You want me to help Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha asked in shock. "Are you nuts! I'd rather let the demon kill me before I EVER help that ungrateful son of…"- "Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as she went along with the plan; only to be caught in between the beast's attack.

"Stay away from her!" Inuyasha roared as he jumped towards the beast. "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" Inuyasha yelled as he swiped at the demon's face; an act that only forced it into a fit of rage.

"Reckless half breed…" Sesshoumaru growled as he dodged the Snake Youkai's tail.

"Where is she?" His eyes scanning the area; sensing his human girl hiding behind the bushes with his toad youkai sidekick.

As it swings it's tail wildly; destroying anything in it's way it soon destroys all the bushes and trees that were once planted in the ground.

"Oh no!" Jaken yelped. "Our hiding spot!"

As the demon's tail slams Sesshoumaru down into the ground Rin decides to take off running in his direction. "Lord Sesshoumaru!"

"Rin! NO!" Jaken yells, trying to recapture the girl only to be swiped by the beast's tail and tossed to the side.

"Dance of Blades!" Kagura yells; her sharp wind currents attacking Kilala, Sango, and Miroku as they try to counter against her.

"What can I do? Lord Sesshoumaru…! I…!" As she tried to think of a way to help Sesshoumaru; she is taken off guard by a girl dressed in white with a small mirror.

"Who…who are you?"

The white haired girl says nothing.

"You mustn't…" Rin began as her eyes met with the strange girl.

She says nothing; she just continues to block her path.

"Please! You can't be here! You must go!" Rin pleads.-"Why are you here?" Kanna asks.

In the middle of aiding Inuyasha in the battle against Murasaki; Kagome notices the younger sister of Kagura using her powers on Rin.

"Kisama…" Kagome grips her bow, grabs one of her purity arrows and takes aim at Kanna. Kanna doesn't say a word, wearing her cold facial expression she only holds out the mirror and uses her powers to hypnotize the girl into doing her bidding.

"She's so pretty…" Rin thought to herself as she stared into her eyes; slowly loosing her conscious.

"This is it." Yume began; focusing so she could temporarily bond with Kanna. "Now's my chance…" Her green eyes glowing violently as she entrusted her soul partially to Kanna's body.

"Come to me…" The girl all dressed in white begged softly as she began to use her demon powers.

"…I…" Rin stammers. "I must help Lord Sesshoumaru…"

"I won't let you take another innocent person's soul…" She focuses her attack on Kanna as she aims for the center of the mirror.

"Show me…" Kanna begs, holding the mirror out at Rin.

"Not again…!" Kagome yells; the purity arrow glowing with her miko powers as she readies to launch it.

"That girl…" Sesshoumaru mutters as he sees Kagome aiming for Kanna; a frown forming as he notices Rin in the middle of the oncoming attack.

"Dance of the Wind!" Kagura's silvery blades of wind scatter across the battle field hitting anything and everything in it's path.

"Hiraikotsu!" Sango yells as she tosses her big boomerang at Kagura for a distraction.

"Kudasai…" Kagrua scoffs as she sends more wind blades at Miroku and Sango.

"Inexperienced priestess…" Sesshoumaru growled as he sent another shock wave towards the beast to paralyze it and then charge after Rin.

"I gotta send it at her now…if I don't…Rin will…" She thought; releasing the grip on the feathery tip of her purity arrow; watching as the arrow's aura glows intensely.

"What's…!" Rin wondered; frightened as she felt her body becoming weak.

"Ike!" Kagome yells as her arrow is sent flying towards Kanna.

"Show me you soul…" A blue aura rising off of young Rin as Kanna's mirror works to obtain her soul.

"RIN!" Sesshoumaru charges in her direction.

"You must give it to me." Kanna continues.

"That's it Kanna…put her under my control…" He smiled as he watched Kanna's magic working wonders on Rin.

"Once she is under your control Master Naraku…I will be able to put my part of the plan into full force." Yume smiled; her eerie green eyes shinning in the darkness.

"…Help me to realize my plans for the Shikon Jewel…" Naraku smiled as he watched the battle continue on.

"The Shikon Jewel…"

All thoughts of Sesshoumaru suddenly disappear as the only voice Rin hears in her head is Kanna's.

In seconds Rin feels herself being lifted into the air by Sesshoumaru.

"Sou ka…" She muttered sarcastically as she broke her bond with Kanna."

As Kagome's arrow pierces Kanna's mirror the temporary spell placed upon little Rin is broken.

"Rin…" Sesshoumaru mutters in his nonchalant tone of voice; noticing the pupils in Rin's eyes suddenly taking form within the middle of her iris'. As Rin's eyes return to they're normal brown color and she begins to stir Sesshoumaru returns to his usual stern persona.

"Now for you Kanna!" Kagome yelled as she sent another purity arrow at the child youkai

"Kanna…" Naraku growled. "Return to me now."

As the Arrow came in contact with the child Youkai; Kagome watches in shock as Kanna disappears into the shadows of the Fukai Mori.

"Darn it! I had her!" She replies in annoyance as she holds her bow and arrow down. "Gotta help Inuyasha…" She mutters; taking off in the direction of the on going battle between the serpent demon and her friends.
