Chapter 25: Kikyou abducted and Tenseiga stolen!

Authors Note: Sorry yes I know it's been taking so long! Gomene

Inuyasha stared forward opening the door allowing Kikyou to come out. He couldn't help but shiver by the cold breeze that suddenly appeared almost out of no where. Sesshomaru opened the door slowly crunching up the traffic ticket in his hand. Rin stared towards him a bit confused looking towards where Tenseiga…was?

"Sesshomaru-sama…" She said softly as he turned towards her blinking a bit.

"What"

"That girl…she has your sword" She said simply her hand trailing up and pointing towards a girl similar towards Kikyou she noted mentally. Was it Kikyou? She didn't think so.

Sesshomaru's head snapped up as the girl stared towards him a smile breaking across her face. "As suspected Sesshomaru-sama Naraku is no where near done with you, and sadly I need to borrow your sword"

His teeth gritted and he stared towards her. "Kagome"

Inuyasha began to grow lowly too staring back of his shoulder to look at Kikyou…but Kikyou wasn't there. He snapped his head forward staring towards Kagome.

"What did you do with her you bitch?" Inuyasha barked his eyes flickering red. Sesshomaru turned his attention to the hanyou a bit in alarm. Kagome had taken her sister? But for what purpose?

"I don't know where Kikyou is!" Kagome said looking a bit hurt. "Naraku will have his way and his interest isn't in me any longer"

"Are you saying that filthy bastard took Kikyou?" Inuyasha screamed jumping towards her, his hands firm on her shoulders. "Talk you bitch"

"If you keep talking to me like that, no matter how much Kikyou dislikes me, she'll disown you" Kagome said coldy looking a bit hard. "She'll send you away like a puppy! The sister bond can NEVER be broken!"

Sesshomaru's eyes snapped as he jumped forwards pushing Kagome to the side, Tenseiga landing swiftly inside his hands once more. "Well neither can the brother bond" Sesshomaru said bluntly, any other person it would have sounded kinky coming from but not with Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha stared towards him, his eyes softening as the brothers eyes locked for a few seconds. Kagome stared up in awe, her knee skinned from where she had been pushed down. Her brown eyes looked a bit clouded with tears of confusion and hurt and she sobbed gently upon the ground. Kagome wasn't a bad girl, she was just misled, she wanted too much and had to little. Something along the way had messed her up, something more then they even knew.

Sesshomaru stared down towards her for a few seconds, and paused. "You wanted to resurrect that man didn't you?"

She nodded glumly. "I know that you need to resurrect Sango-chan by sundown and my love still has an extra day…."

"What?" Sesshomaru snapped. "There's a time limit!"

"God damn it Kagome! You don't tell us anything! Where's Kikyou?"

"With Naraku in the forest preserve" She responded quickly. "And Naraku had just told me about the time limit today!"

"I'll never find Kikyou it's gotta be a million square feet!" Inuyasha growled turning in the direction, preparing to run. Sesshomaru's eyes softened as he stared towards his little brother, he looked like his heart had just been torn from him. What could be so wrong?

"Lets go Inuyasha"

"But Sango…"

"There's no other choice" Sesshomaru said quietly, his head cast down. "You'll never find Kikyou alone…Kikyou's alive Inuyasha we can't risk losing another. Sango's already dead."

"But with Tenseiga! You can't I wont let you!"

"Every second you waste your putting your mate in danger! Don't be as reckless as I was" His eyes were lit with red staring towards Inuyasha, but Inuyasha could see the helplessness that truly rose beneath them. He wasn't angry, he was hurting, he wanted Sango and if they didn't save Kikyou quickly. She'd be lost as Sango was; perhaps it was the cruel stream of fate that ended things this way. Maybe Tenseiga was only supposed to be a touchable dream…Sango had been dead for weeks.

"I'll go" Kagome said quietly. "She's my sister and I should be able to find Naraku's shouki fastest. I've been with him for a while. I can betray the bastard too."

"Kagome" The words rolled off Sesshomaru's lips easily, the sun was low. He didn't have time to thank her or do anything else. He had to be at the grave before sun down. Or Sango would be lost to him; no…Sango would be lost to the world. Because that's what Sango was the world. His world.

Inuyasha looked towards the empty card jumping in the front seat, Kagome crawling into the passengers, and Rin jumping into the back. She didn't have time to think what was going on, but she wasn't going to be left alone because she was to slow.

'To easy' Sesshomaru thought hurriedly. 'Totousai was right, it was too easy'

He'd never expect his father to have limits, or anything he had ever wielded. But his father was the least of his concerns. It was Sango. Sango. Sango. Sango. She was in every breath he breathed he couldn't help it. He was close and each second each step took him closer…and the sun lower. It was going to be close, to close.

Sesshomaru jumped over the black metal gate, he felt his pant legs tear and blood begin to ooze down his freshly ripped skin. He was limping but not much running faster then before, it didn't matter. He couldn't feel everything was numb.

Before he could do anything else he was on her grave on his knees. His clawed hand trembling digging into the moist soil, his arm was gone (earlier chapters) and digging with one was useless. He dug, sweat pouring down her face.

I'll free her. I'll free her if no one else. I'll free her or die here with her. He could see her now. Her pail face, her trembling frame, her clothes were tattered, dirt in her hair as he swiffed his sword over her body. Holding her against his knee, her eyes slowly opening.

"Sango"

Her brown eyes stared up to him and he threw Tetsusaiga to the ground, he berried his head in her shoulder and cried. His voice was choked grave soil surrounding them painting the two black with ash. It was like the day of the fire, Sango in his arms and now it was dark. The only thing Sesshomaru could think in the depths of his heart was if he was a moment later…Sango would have died and never been able to come back. Never again would Sango be able to laugh and spread the love he did. Perhaps his father had lost out on this but thanks to someone he had not.

His only regret was that he couldn't smell his pup at all. He guessed his pup must have died and it killed him and he wondered if Sango knew. He had barely saved his mate of course his pup wouldn't be alive. The only thing he felt was relief and sadness, the pup didn't even get to see life and it was his entire fault. If he had only stayed by her side, been a bit faster.

Thinking about it in the end, it didn't matter. None of it mattered; it didn't have to right now. He wouldn't tell Sango now right now all he wanted was to feel and breathe in every ounce of her. The night would hide them and he felt comfortable, he could sense her smile and he was fine. Every ounce of him was whole again, but there was a new smell in Sango's body.

"It can't be" He whispered pushing his nose to her stomach. She raised a brow a bit confused, her voice cracking a bit from being sealed shut for days on end. "What are you doing?" She whispered a bit hoarsely.

"Sango your still…"

Kagome had been knocked unconscious and Rin still hiding in the car, wondering what was lurching inside that building in the dark forest, and what had made the Kagome girl scream such a terrible sound? Rin wasn't sure but she could see her black hair and her body limp and slumped to the side. Inuyasha's sword was flung across the room and there was nothing but blood across the room, she knew because the blood was so strong in the air that even she as a human could smell it. She twitched closing her eyes wanting them to come out soon.

Inuyasha came out then blood spurring from his chest, his vision blurry with poison.

"I got her" He said smiling limply and unconscious Kikyou in his arms. There were arrows in his body, it was clear. The Naraku fellow had put some sort of control on Kikyou and Inuyasha not being able to fight her was gravely injured. But the blood on Inuyasha's claws showed it wasn't just his own. He had killed Naraku; it wasn't Kagome's hair she had seen. It was Naraku's HEAD.

Rin turned and coughed feeling sick, Kagome helping Inuyasha leave Kikyou into the back seat. The child wondered how they would get Inuyasha to the hospital without getting him in trouble. He had killed a person. He had killed a man; there'd be no way he could get out of it…No matter what he did. Kagome took the wheel and Inuyasha lay down in the back, there didn't seem like much choice. Kagome pulled into the hospital that morning, the sun still no where in sight, Inuyasha was taken into emergency room at 3am.
