How's everybody doing? I finally finished ch.7 so I hope you all like it. I thought I'd be able to update on Monday but my little sister wasn't having it. But I finally updated so here it is. Review and let me know what you think.

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha, but I do own this plot.

Miroku, Sango, and Shippo stare in disbelief as they see a lifeless Sesshomaru lying under a tree. Sango then points out that he doesn't have Tenseiga on his waist.

"Your right Sango, he doesn't seem to have it with him."

"Here it is!"

Shippo ran with Tenseiga in hand to Sango and Miroku. Miroku reached out to touch it but a barrier pushed him back.

"I guess only demons can hold it, seeing as Shippo can touch it, though I doubt he can actually use it."

The Tenseiga began to rattle in Shippo's hand. He threw it on the ground only to have it raise, floating in mid-air, covering Sesshomaru with its aura. Sesshomaru's wounds began to heal and his eyes slowly opened. Before his legs could be healed, Sango ordered Shippo to try and pull the Tenseiga away. He didn't know why she wanted him to do it but he went ahead and did what he was told. Sesshomaru was now awake but was screaming in pain from his not fully recovered body.

"Give me back my sword you stupid son of a…"

"Ahhhh, Sango help!"

Shippo ran behind Sango with the Tenseiga in hand. Sango stepped forward and stared into Sesshomaru's eyes as they turned completely red with anger. Sango moved even closer to show she wasn't afraid.

"I'll give back your sword, but you have to do something for me first."

"Bite me you weak filthy disgusting human! Now give me back my sword."

Sesshomaru groaned in pain again as Sango looked on in disbelief at what she just heard. She, and probably the rest of her companions have never heard him fly off the handle like that. But even so, she couldn't back down from him. She had to show no fear if she was going to get what she wanted out of him.

"I want you to…I want you to revive my brother Kohaku and Koga. They didn't deserve to die; and my brother didn't deserve to become Naraku's slave, and he damn sure didn't deserve to be slaughtered by InuYasha! So please, promise me you'll revive them."

Sesshomaru still looked at her with rage in his eyes. He looked on as she almost came to tears.

"Fine, you have my word, now give me my sword!"

Sango motioned Shippo to give him the sword. The Tenseiga once again floated in mid-air as it began to restore the rest of Sesshomaru's body. After the blue light faded from his body, Sesshomaru put the Tenseiga back into his sheath as he walked up to Sango, and grabbed her face as if to examine her. Miroku readied his staff.

"I admire you for your bravery and courage, for this I will keep my word. Now take me to them."

Sango smiled with joy as she, Miroku, and Shippo took Sesshomaru to Kohaku and Koga. Sesshomaru wasn't doing this just for Sango, but he also did it for Rin who seemed to be quite fond of Kohaku. Wait, RIN!

"We have to make this quick, Rin is in danger!"

"The hut is right there. But I must ask Sesshomaru; do you intend to go after InuYasha again?"

"Yes monk, I do."

"But he's way stronger than any of us now! It would be suicide…unless you have a plan?"

Sesshomaru entered the hut and pulled out his Tenseiga as Miroku wondered about his intentions.

(Miroku thinking) "He must have some sort of plan if he is going after InuYasha again so soon. But how can he possibly stop him now that he has the jewel? How could Sesshomaru discover a way to stop InuYasha with only one fight?"

Miroku looked on as Kohaku was brought back to life with the Tenseiga along with Koga. Sango ran over to Kohaku as swift as lightning as she hugged her brother for the first time in a long time.

"Oh Kohaku, I'm so glad you're alive."

"Sister, how did I get here? And what is Sesshomaru doing her? Sister…did I die?"

"I'll tell you about it later, but for now lets just be glad you're alive."

"I've fulfilled my promise."

"Wait Sesshomaru, I will come and help you."

"I'm coming to Miroku, we have to stop InuYasha."

"And from what I can recollect, it was that mutt that attacked me, so I need to repay him the favor."

"I don't need help from humans! And I don't need any help from some weak wolf demon. I will take care of this on my own."

Koga walked up to Sesshomaru with a look of confidence in his eyes.

"You still don't trust me do you mutt face? It's because of that girl you travel with."

"Koga, I don't think it's wise too…"

Before Miroku could finish his sentence, Sesshomaru drove his claws into Koga's neck.

"I never have, and I never will trust you wolf! And I would appreciate it if you wouldn't bite the hand that just fed you you pitiful excuse of a demon!"

Sesshomaru let go of Koga's neck and turned into a blue ball of light flying off into the direction of his castle. Sango called for Kilala and she, along with Miroku, Shippo, and Kohaku claimed on her back and followed Sesshomaru while Koga followed them on foot.

"Kohaku, I don't want you to fight. You were just revived; I don't want to lose you again."

"Don't worry about me sister, I'll be fine."

With Koga

Koga followed the group on foot while trying to figure out just how he could have been defeated and killed so easily. He decided to ask the humans for answers.

"Hey Miroku! Just how did that mutt become so powerful? I mean, he was strong before but to take me down that fast isn't something just anybody could do!"

"To put a long story short, InuYasha has the sacred jewel."

(Humph) "So that's what it is. So if we take the jewel from him, he'll turn back to normal."

"It's not as simple as that, if he swallowed it. And even if we take back the jewel, if he doesn't revert back to his half-demon form, he'll still be a handful."

"Yeah whatever. Just leave it to me."

(Shippo whispering) "Says the guy who just got carved up by InuYasha."

"I heard that fox!"

With Sesshomaru

"I will defeat you InuYasha. That last encounter we had showed me what was inside of you. When I was about to die, I saw it…I saw Midoriko's soul. And with my Tenseiga, I will stop you."

With InuYasha and Kagome

The servant woman walked up to the master bedroom and knocked on the door. She heard the moaning coming from the room stop as her master opened the door. He grabbed her by the throat and looked at her in annoyance as she looked from InuYasha to a naked Kagome and back to InuYasha.

"What the hell do you want? Can't you tell I'm in the middle of something?"

"Yes but, I… thought you might… want to know that Sess…homaru is outside along with…a few others."

InuYasha threw the servant down and she scurried away as fast as she could. InuYasha went back into his room so he could get his Tetsuaige and fire rat armor. Kagome rose from the bed and walked over to InuYasha wrapping her arms around his waist.

"What's wrong baby?"

"Put some clothes on, we have guests."

And there you have it. Please review and tell me what you think. Peace-
