"Bankotsu…" Yuki asked as she walked beside him.

"Nani?"

"Do you still plan on killing Inuyasha?"

"I don't know… I mean, I owe him- he saved your life; but I am also

bound to Naraku."

"No you're not! If we join the gang our joined power will be invincible!"

"You mean… be one of the good guys?"

"Well, yes."

"That's just too wired… I've been on the bad side since I can remember,

I've killed countless innocent…"

"It's never too late for redemption." She looked deep into his eyes.

'Such beautiful eyes…' she thought and suddenly kissed him.

"What was that for?"

"I dunno…" she smiled joyfully.

He put an arm around her shoulder and they walked into the sunset.

Bankotsu got nailed in the gut by Inuyasha.

The two were now close and Bankotsu whispered:

"Play along, will ya?"

"Huh?" Was Inuyashas' confused response.

Bankotsu gripped Inuyasha from behind and said:

"I'm on your side now, but we need to deceive Naraku."

The two men kept the fighting charade.

Unfortunately kisama no Naraku knew what was going on.

"This is taking way too long…" Yuki said to no one in particular

"Maybe I should go and check it out…" She was about to enter the cave when

the walls collapsed, sealing the entrance.

"Bankotsu…" tears streamed down her face.

"What the…"

Yuki saw a little girl running away from something, frightened out of her wits.

"What's wrong little girl?" She asked in a soft voice.

From behind the girl came a nasty looking spider demon.

"Evil hiding in plain sight
I use this spell with all my might
To stop your changing form and shape
This vanquish seals your fate. "

She looked to check on the girl and saw she was injured and had lost consciousness.

"Oh… you poor thing… I have just the spell for you, I just need to get that herb…"

She found the herb she was missing, pollen from a rare flower that she had in her bag.

"Power of the ancient rise
Course unseen across the skies
Come to us who call you near
Come to us and settle here.
Blood to Blood, I summon thee
Blood to Blood, return to me."

"Omae majo?" A deep calm voice said.

Yuki looked up and saw a tall man with long silver hair and golden eyes accompanied by a toad like demon.

"Hai…" she said not with fear, but piety. There was something very royal like about this demon.

The little girl awoke.

"Sesshomaru sama!" she smiled when she saw the youkai.

'Sesshomaru…sama? Is this…'

her thoughts were cut of by the girl.

"I'm Rin, thank you for saving me." She smiled and hugged Yuki.

"You're very welcome sweetie."

"Come along, Rin." The girl named Rin ran to the two demons.

"Sayonara!" she waved, "Arigato!"

and as they faded into the distance Yuki heard a raspy voice say:

"Don't ever do that again! Baka ningen onna…"
