Ch.4 Sesshomaru's Problem

A/N: Hey minna! I'm back! So sorry fo taking so long to update! I've been just too busy. Well anyways, here is the chappie you've all been waiting for! Now I'll leave to let you read it. Enjoy!

Sesshomaru ran through the forest, not really caring if Rin and Jaken were way behind. Jaken could protect Rin so he wasn't worried. Fuyuko's scent was getting stronger and Sesshomaru picked up his pace.

Fuyuko. You really have returned. But how? And why? His thoughts were cut short when someone jumped right in his path, causing the great dog demon to halt.

"Naraku." Sesshomaru growled and the other demon smirked.

"Sesshomaru. Its been a while." he replied. Silence came between them and minutes passed making Sesshomaru grow impatient. He placed his hand on the hilt of Tokijin and narrowed his eyes at Naraku. He had no time for this!

"Move! Or I'll move you myself!" Naraku's smirk widened.

"There is no need to worry. Fuyuko's with Inuyasha. So she's safe . . . for now."

So she is alive! This must be his doing. thought Sesshomaru.

"Why did you bring her back?" he questioned.

"To destroy Inuyasha and get the rest of the Shikon shards of course." said Naraku and Seshomaru slightly raised an eyebrow. Naraku chuckled at his response.

"Fuyuko is so young and innocent, no one would never suspect her. Also, she is Inuyasha's sister. Soon that mutt will accept it and open his heart to her, accepting her. And when he does, that's when I'll strike! And the way I plan to do it is by destroying all his little companions. Doing so will make him weak and so vunerable. I can kill him more easily that way. I'll have the Shikon no Tama, and I'll be rid of all my enemies! Including you." he laughed evily. Sesshomaru withdrew his sword and pointed it at Naraku.

"You brought her back just so she can be a tool to you!" he hissed angerily.

"So. What's wrong with that?" he said. His reply really pissed Sesshomaru off. He was about to slash at Naraku when he held out something that made him stop suddenly.

"Beautiful isn't it. I found it around Fuyuko's neck. I believe it was you who gave it to her." he said evily as he watch Sesshomaru stare at the beautiful, silver locket. Indeed it was him that gave her that locket, it was so long ago. But he remembered it as if it was yesterday.

"For me?" asked young Fuyuko as she looked up at him with large, innocent eyes. Sesshomaru nodded and she squealed with delight. She opened the silver locket and gasped. Inside was a jewel, white and shaped like a snowflake. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever saw! She looked at her older brother again and smiled.

"Arigatoo Sessho-niichan!" and she hugged him. He was a bit startled when she did that. But he smiled and hugged her back.

"Now lower your sword Sesshomaru or Fuyuko dies." warned Naraku. Sesshomaru looked at him with a questioning glare but didn't lower his sword.

"What do you mean?"

"Sure she has her body and soul back, but I have what keeps her alive." he explained.

"You don't mean-" Sesshomaru started.

"That's right. I have her heart right here in this locket. So if you try anything funny, all I have to do is crush this and she'll be gone completly. We wouldn't want that now do we?" Naraku teased. Sesshomaru wanted to crush him! But Fuyuko's life was on the line, one wrong move from him and she'll be dead. He didn't want her gone now that she was brought back. That would be a waste.

"And what I meant by anything funny is that you using your Tenseiga on our little Fuyuko. I don't need you breaking my control over her. I need her."

So there is a way to break Naraku's hold on Fuyuko! But he'll probably be watching my every move, so I wouldn't be able to do it anyways! Damn! I should have used the Tenseiga long time ago, but I was too damn stubborn to even touch my father's sword he had left me. said Sesshomaru in his head.

"I'll be watching you Sesshomaru. Remember, one false move, she's gone forever. I'll leave you with that one warning. So I suggest you turn around and leave. There's no way you can save her with your Tenseiga. I'm watching your every move." and with that Naraku left with a poof of smoke. Sesshomaru knew he was right. He couldn't save her, again. Even if he told Inuyasha, Naraku would learn of it and Fuyuko would die. He slashed a nearby tree, letting out his anger (A/N: Poor tree!). Naraku had planned it all out, leaving no opening for mistakes.

"Sesshomaru-sama!" cried Jaken and Rin, running up to their master. They were out of breath from trying to catch up with him.

"Sesshomaru-sama? Daijoubu ka?" asked Rin. Jaken and Rin's eyes trailed over to the tree that he had slashed, then at Tokijin that was still in his hands. Jaken felt his master's anger and gulped.

He's really angry! I hope he's not angry at me or Rin. Eeep! What if he is?

Sesshomaru resheathed his sword and turned around. He didn't even bother to look at them.

"Jaken, Rin. Let's go." he said coldly. The two followed, not knowing what had gotten their lord so angry about.

Fuyuko. I'll save you . . . Somehow.
