Chapter 19

Final Battle Part II

Hiding away from the kappa-youkai, the young ward giggled softly as she hid in the gardens of her lord while peeking out through the side of the bush she hid behind as her caretaker passed by her hiding place, screeching, 'Rin! You meddle-some brat! Get out here before milord beheads me!'

Once the kappa was out of sight and hearing distance, Rin silently sneaked out of the bush and made a run for it.

Tired of running and positive that Jaken wouldn't be able to catch up to her; Rin slowed down her running to a skip as she looked around for her favorite playmate.

Hoshi sometimes brought Rin to the village with her when she needed to buy items or food. There Rin would then be able to play with her befriended twins, Onaji and Niteiru, with Hoshi watching of course.

But today, Rin wouldn't be able to see the twins since Hoshi wasn't in need of anything at the village today, so they couldn't go. Therefore Rin had to settle with running from a lousy caretaker and in place, helping Hoshi with her chores to pass the time.

Coming to the front of the castle, Rin then noticed a group of guards at the gate dealing with two youkai that seem to be arguing to get passed through by the way the guards were blocking the entrance and the outside men were trying to get in. She tilted her head and swore she saw something red in one of the men's arms. She then decided to take a look as she skipped toward the arguing group. She skipped into a slower pace when the silence grew to an audible hearing of things like 'We come from the east' and '-sent us'

Once she was close to the point the screaming was echoing in her ears, she looked past the tall guard's legs and spotted the kitsune playmate that traveled with Kagome. She gasped in happiness and glee and exclaimed.

"Shippou-chan!"

The group of men turned to the ignored ward, who sidestepped the guards to get to the kit. The said kitsune acknowledged her by jumping down and giving Rin a hug.

"Rin, you know these people?" asked one of the guards.

Rin released Shippou from her hug and turned to the men.

"Rin knows Shippou-chan! He travels with Kagome-chan and her group!" she chirped in reply.

"And what of the other youkai," he gestured to the eastern tribe men.

Rin looked back to the two ookami and tapped her chin thinking where she had seen them before, before shrugging and said, "Rin does not remember," she said with a shrug, before turning to Shippou and grinned, "Let's play with Hoshi-chan!"

Shippou was then pulled with Rin and the two sought out the maid, as Hakakku and Ginta returned to their protests of knowing Sesshomaru and Kagome.

XOXOXO

The inu-youkai scowled as she turned away from Jaken as she recently has been informed that he once again lost track of the young ward.

"You'd think that kappa-grow another head like that staff of his, so he'll have twice the brain," she muttered angrily as she sought out for Rin. "Honestly, a mere child he can not handle-where was milord's sense in him watching over her!-"

"You know…it's not common for youkai to talk to their-selves."

Hoshi irritably turned to the voice and snapped.

"But it's common for youkai to beat the crap of others that can't mind their own businesses."

The said voice, held his hands in front of him saying he meant no harm as he quirked an eyebrow at the inu. Hoshi bit her lip as she stared into the face of the kamereon, who she was venting her anger at. She shook her head and bowed in apology.

"Gomen ne Tsukai-kun, Jaken-sama has gotten me quite rattled today."

"Lost Rin again?"

"What else can he lose?" she scoffed.

"Other than his brain?" he grinned.

Hoshi chuckled and shook her head at the youkai. She turned away from him as she began to walk once more, with him walking by her side.

"Since when has it become your concern on what happens to the young ward?" Tsukai asked curiously.

She rolled her amber eyes as she grumbled, "Since Jaken-sama can't be trusted in the hands of her with milord away."

Tsukai chuckled. For a few minutes of awkward silence, it was soon broken when a loud shout and laughter erupted into the halls. Hoshi looked up and caught the sight of Rin running ahead with a red and green fluff running behind her.

Hoshi felt Tsukai tense at the sight of the kit and immediately started to lowly growl. Hoshi rolled her eyes at the youkai beside and reassured him.

"Relax Tsukai, he's one of the companions of Kagome-sama's. A mere kit, nothing he can do to Rin."

Loosening up, they waited where they stood as the two approached them. Well, Rin latched herself into Hoshi's legs while Shippou jumped and cling to her shoulder.

"Hoshi-chan, look! Shippou-chan is here! Have you met Shippou-chan?" the girl said energetically at her as she looked up at her.

Hoshi smiled warmly down at the ward, and turned to see Shippou grinning, "I've seen him before."

"Great! So we play now?" Rin insisted.

Tsukai, who had been quiet for the whole time, glared at Shippou as he then spoke up.

"Kitsune," Shippou turned his attention to Tsukai, "If you are here, where are your guardians?"

Hoshi too turned her attention to Shippou. If he was here, then Kagome-sama and Sesshomaru-sama should return as well, right? Yet, looking at his proudly determined face, it made her wonder otherwise.

"Okaa-san and the others went to fight against Naraku!"

"Nani?" the two older youkai said in shock.

"Okaa-san and the others went to-"

"Never mind that kid, how did you get here then, and why aren't you with the others?"

"Rin is confused."

"Ginta and Hakakku brought me here; okaa said I was to protect Rin."

"Can we go play now?"

"Not now Rin, sweetie."

"Okay, so can we go see Sesshomaru-sama? It's been so long."

"Hai, hai. But for now Rin, I need to talk to Tsukai for a bit; you and Shippou-chan go play, ne?"

"Hai!" the two replied in unison.

The two released their-self from Hoshi and went out to the gardens to play. Hoshi watched them leave, before turning to Tsukai.

"Milord's in battle."

"And your point is? He's in a lot of battles."

"The point is baka, from what Kagome-sama has told me about him, Naraku can be tricky and deceiving-therefore, we must watch Rin at all cost, so as she doesn't get taken by him."

"I don't understand why that has to do with me."

"You're going to help me that's what it's got to do with you."

"Dooshite." He whined.

"Because for one thing, I'm not watching two kids by myself, and for another you like me enough to make sure Naraku doesn't do any harm to me." She coyly grinned.

Tsukai contemplated this thought for a minute, before slowly replying, "Wellll….not that much." He teased.

Hoshi scowled as she punched Tskuai in the arm.

"Ittai onna!" he pouted as he rubbed his arm.

"Say you'll do it!"

"Hai, hai I'll do it." He rolled his eyes and slyly grinned at her.

Hoshi gritted her teeth at the double meaning of his words and proceeded to hit him over and over as she exclaimed, "You perverted son-of-a-"

"RIN!"

In the midst of holding her fist and giving Tsukai another bump to his head, the two watched as the kappa youkai ran through the gardens, waving his staff and fist at the air as he set his eyes on something in the sky.

The two turned to each other and shrugged as they continued their banter, until Jaken squawked.

"Where do you think, you're taking Ah Un you miserable child?"

The two gaped at each other and then outside, as the words Rin had mentioned earlier came to mind. 'Okay, so can we go see Sesshomaru-sama? It's been so long'

"She wouldn't."

"She would."

"Demo…"

"You said yes."

"I didn't mean it intentionally!"

"What can you expect? She's a child!"

"This is your entire fault!" she screamed as she headed out the castle.

"Mine! You said yes!" Tsukai bellowed behind her as he followed in suit.

XOXOXO

The two had been playing in the garden for some time now. Now resting, they sighed in boredom of nothing to do. They could hear Tsukai and Hoshi still arguing, so it wasn't a good time to ask for them to play with them.

Rin sat on the ground with her legs pulled up to her chest with her arms around them as she sat back with her head leaned forward. Shippou lay on his back staring at the sky.

"Shippou-chan…Rin misses Sesshomaru-sama." She said sadly.

Shippou turned away from the sky to her, understanding how she felt. He missed his okaa too.

"Don't worry! They'll be okay. They'll come back." He tried to assure her.

Rin sighed, "Rin understands this but, Rin wishes to see milord."

Shippou sat up and went over to Rin as he patted her shoulder to make her feel better. But seeing her not cheering up or seeing the smile she had minutes ago, made him feel the pain she was feeling. She wanted to see Sesshomaru, he wanted to see Kagome. Both of them were sitting here, and those two were facing off Naraku. What could he do?

An idea then flashed through his head as he then exclaimed.

"We'll go to them then!"

Rin looked up to him who was grinning, "Huh?"

"We'll go to them!"

"But didn't you say Kagome-chan sent you to protect me?"

"Hai! And I can when we both go together to see okaa and Sesshomaru! Then we won't miss them!"

Rin began to think this over and started to smile, until it went away, "What of, Hoshi-chan and Tsukai-san?"

"They have it each other; we'll just be away for a bit. They won't miss us at all."

Rin then smiled and laughed happily once more and nodded in agreement at the great idea. She then jumped to her feet and started humming the song she made for Sesshomaru. She smiled and turned to Shippou, who was now in deep thought.

"Daijoubu desu ka? Shippou-chan?"

Shippou snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head at Rin, "Iie, iie, just thinking how we're going to get there is all."

Rin grinned and took Shippou's hand as then started to run.

"Rin-"

"Rin knows someone who can take us there!"

Hearing this, he then started to follow Rin on his accord instead of letting her drag him. Shippou followed Rin out of the garden, and around the castle, until they came to a certain part where it was a big shed. The shed was apart from the castle, but near enough where, when needed it was there. Rin ran up to the doors and slid the entrance doors aside. When the doors were at a decent sized open enough for them to fit through, she turned to Shippou and waved at him.

"Come on Shippou-chan!"

Rin then entered the shed and disappeared inside, followed by Shippou hesitantly. He entered the dark room and looked around. It was big, not as big as the castle, but big enough to for several youkai to stay in. He stopped looking around when he saw Rin standing by the two-headed dragon he always saw with her and Sesshomaru when they were traveling.

"Ah- Un, this is Shippou-chan. He's my new friend!" Rin introduced the two-headed dragon as they looked up and stared at the shy kit. "Come say hi Shippou-chan!"

Shippou slowly walked over to the dragon and stood there to see the big dragons stare down at him. They then lowered their head, causing Shippou to cower a bit, as they began to sniff him.

"Don't worry! They don't hurt."

Shippou gulped as he swallowed his pride and looked straight at the two. The two stared back, before pulling away and snorting their approval.

Rin then giggled, "They like you," as she started to pat Ah's head. "Ah, we need you and Un to take us to Sesshomaru-sama and Kagome-chan. It's very important, okay?"

The two dragons turned to each other, thinking over, if this was a good idea. Before snorting and lowered their-selves on the ground for the two to climb on their back.

"Arigato Ah-Un!"

Rin jumped onto the back of Ah-Un and waited for Shippou to climb aboard.

"They can take us to okaa-san?" he asked as he jumped aboard next to Rin.

"Mm! They can just track Sesshomaru-sama's scent! Right?"

The two dragons snorted again as they sat up and headed to the door. They turned slightly for their tail to open the door wide enough for them to get through, before walking outside and started to ascend the sky. Rin sat comfortably on Ah-Un since she was used to it, while Shippou held on for dear life, not being used to anyone but Kirara's back.

The two headed dragon sniffed the air for their master; sniffing for different directions because of the faint smell, until they caught on. The two then flew higher and started to head off, passing over Jaken who was still searching for Rin. Jaken, noticing the shadow above him, caused him to look up and see Ah-Un and Rin head off.

Jaken then squawked and turned from the way he came from and followed the dragon as he kept his eyes on them and not where he was going, while screaming.

"Rin! Where do you think you're taking Ah-Un, you miserable child!"

Rin hearing Jaken's voice turned and waved good-bye to him, "Ja ne Jaken-sama! We're off to see Sesshomaru-sama!"

The last thing she saw was Jaken tripping over his feet and falling face-first on the ground, before turning around, awaiting to see her milord for the first time in weeks.

XOXOXO

Hoshi and Tsukai arrived just in time to see Jaken fall down. They stared up as they watched Ah- Un take Rin and Shippou away in the sky. Hoshi scowled as she turned to Tsukai.

"Great! Just great! Now what are we going to do!"

Tsukai raised his eyebrow at her, "Why you taking your anger out on me?"

"Cause this is YOUR fault! And that dumb-ass kappa is out!" she screeched at him as she pointed to the knocked out Jaken.

"My fault? You're the one who taking care of her."

"You said you'd help! So take your share of the blame!"

"No, I said I'd do it." He winked.

She flushed a light red, "We will NOT go back to that again. Just shut up and help me find a way to get them back." She growled as she turned around, leaving Jaken where he is.

Tsukai opened his mouth to say something, but closed it, deciding to do as she says this time. As he followed her, he watched as she grumbled things to herself as she looked around, thinking of how to get two youjis and a dragon back.

"Ah-Un's taken and we don't have any way catching up to them since they're up in the sky. Now what?" she bit her lip, while she talked out loud.

Tsukai looked to his right, then his left, and then shrugged as she began pacing.

"How about…no that's not good…maybe if I…no that's not good either!" Hoshi then stopped her pacing and turned to Tsukai with menacing eyes. "Talk! I can't do this by myself!"

Tsukai grinned at her and shook his head.

"What do you mean no?" Tsukai pointed to her, "Me?" he moved his lips. "What the fuck? This isn't any time for charades! Just talk dammit or I'll make you!"

Tsukai sighed as he began to talk again, "You told me to shut up so I did."

"Since when did you start listening to me?"

"I have no idea."

"Whatever, just do whatever to find a way to get them back, I need to get something."

"Which would be…"

"Don't worry about it, something is just telling me that he's going to need it." She muttered as she turned and headed in the other direction, leaving Tsukai confused.

XOXOXO

Sango fought off against Yuwukusha with her katana for offense and her boomerang as an offense and defense against her attacks. Yuwukusha wasn't much of offensive youkai, considering all she was made to do, was seduce men. But she was up against a female and it seems Miroku had fended off her spells on controlling him.

Snarling at Naraku for making her weak, she put muttered a spell and soon pink surrounded Sango and Yuwukusha. Sango placed her gas mask on so she didn't inhale the gas and continued to fight the seductress with fury. Yet suddenly, Sango started to see things and tried to shake them off. Images of Miroku naked in all his glory and touching him kept popping into her mind. She scowled as she glanced at the houshi that was fighting against Sakkaku with Serina. Not paying attention, Yuwukusha took this advantage and jumped to attack, if weren't for Kirara for intervening. Yuwukusha could've gotten a hit. Sango turned back to her battle to see Kirara standing in front of her and Yuwukusha feet away from her in a crouch position.

"Arigato Kirara."

Kirara whined as if asking if she was ok. Sango smiled at the neko and nodded as she then turned to the onna who was smirking now.

"What's so funny bitch?" Sango cleared her throat after having seeing another image of Miroku in her mind.

Ignoring the comment she said, Yuwukusha smirked knowing that her spell was taking effect, it was a matter of time when the full effect took place. It didn't matter if the wench didn't inhale the gas, the gas was merely a distraction while she performed the spell and indeed it worked.

"Nothing, just thinking about how fun it would be to take that man of yours to bed once this is over." She grinned.

That only succeeded in fueling Sango's hate and fury as she gave a battle cry and went for the attack.

--

Miroku stood in the left while Serina stood at the right of Sakkaku.

"Why don't you make this easy for us and just stand still and take death like a man." Serina yelled as ran and clawed at Sakkaku, only to have her hand faze through.

Serina's eyes widened as she stared at her hand and then shuddered as she felt him behind her.

"Now where's the fun in that my dear? Mmm…you smell good." He whispered into her ear.

Serina cringed and growled as she swiftly turned and went to kick him, only to miss as he dodged the attack. Miroku threw sutras at Sakkaku trying to immobilize him, but failed as Sakkaku disappeared once more.

"How do we defeat him?" Serina growled as she searched for his presences around her, looking quickly around her.

"You can't!" he laughed as he then come behind her and kicked her forward at Miroku, knocking the two down.

Sakkaku grinned as he stood watching the two stand up. "And here I thought you'd at least put the effort into giving me one hit."

Serina growled as she pushed Miroku away from her and went on the attack, "Oh I'll give you a hit!" she jumped high up in the air.

Miroku kneeled down on the ground and began muttering a chant as he closed his eyes in concentration, while Serina was trying to give some hits in.

"Teme…hold…still!" she grounded out as he grinned at her.

Sakkaku came around and grabbed Serina by the waist in mid-air. She struggled in his grip to get free, but his tight was steel as he then leaned forward once more and whispered.

"You know…you're feisty and I like girls that feisty. How about you end this now, and I might show you a trick or two in bed." He teased.

Serina felt her control snap as she grabbed hold of his arms and used her head to lean forward and then slam back into his face. Feeling his grip loosen a bit, she took this opportunity and flipped the two of them, so she was the one in behind, with her arms around him and him facing her.

Sakkaku looked at her vicious face as she evilly smirked and turned to Miroku who finished up his spell. She then hissed at him.

"Oh I'll end this now…"

As they were descending fast to the ground, she turned them so Sakkaku would land on the ground first and on his back than on his feet, before releasing her hold on him. Propping her feet to her chest, she then forcefully released her feet from her chest so they hit Sakkaku square on the chest since she was above him, so he would hit the ground quicker.

Sakkaku hit the ground hard as inspected. But when he tried to get up, he was held back from Miroku's cast on the ground that bound him there. Serina then flipped and landed next to Miroku as she grinned at Sakkaku, gathering her control back.

"Maybe it's you who needs to learn a trick or two." Serina grinned and then turned to see how Sango was doing only to see, her in a daze. "What the f- finish her off Sango!"

Yuwukusha, who was leaning back against a tree, grinned at the hanyou as her spell finally kicked in. From the looks of it, Sakkaku wasn't doing a great job against a simple hanyou and houshi.

"Whore! What did you do to her!" Serina snarled as she back-flipped over Miroku's head and headed over to Yuwukusha.

Yuwukusha scoffed, "What's with all these name callings? I did nothing…yet." She crooned.

Yukuwusha watched as Sango shuddered and turned to Miroku. Miroku stared at her with concern written on his face as she began to advance on him.

"Mirrokkuuu" she said husky.

Serina gaped at the strong taijiya that dropped her katana and boomerang and was now loosening her gas mask and hair. She continued to head toward Miroku and began to unloosen her warrior clothing.

Miroku stared in awe, not knowing whether to be scared or happy; scared that Sango was finally advancing on him, or happy that she is actually getting naked and advancing on him.

Sakkaku could feel the wavering power of the houshi's weaken and he grinned at this, silently thanking Yuwukusha.

"Oh Miroku-koi, it's so hot in here…don't you agree." Sango shook her hair out and stood in front of Miroku.

"I-I-I" Miroku's jaw was down on the floor as his reasonable side was shutting down.

"You baka houshi! Do something!" Serina yelled at him.

"I-I-I"

Sango grabbed Miroku's hand and brought it to her face. "I'm so sorry Miroku, for not taking up on your offer. Please let me make it up for you." Her hand with Miroku's began to caress her face and slowly descending her neck.

"I-I-I'm in heaven"

"Argh! You damn perv!"

Serina knew this wasn't the work of Sango; it would take a lot of work to make her into a slut. So, to make a slut, you had to be a slut. Serina looked at Yuwukusha from the corner of her eye and could see she was making hand gestures, clearly controlling her. I knew it! …that ho!

Serina looked to Miroku to see his hold on Sakkaku was weakening; therefore he was going to get loose if she didn't do anything. Time to kill a slut.

Serina growled as she reflexes her claws and swiftly ran to Yuwukusha. So, quick she was holding her by the neck against the tree as she was gasping for air. Yuwukusha was turning as blue as her hair as she then grinned at Serina and brought her free hand slowly to her chest. Serina's eyes widened as she turned her head to see Miroku's hand land on Sango's bosom, and from there Miroku's control over Sakkuku broke.

Serina growled loudly as she turned to Yukuwusha angrily and took her other claw and pierced it through her heart. She watched Yukuwusha gasp and her eyes widened to the fullest before her breaths came slowly and her eyes drooped. She gave one last smile as she then muttered.

"Free at last…" and died.

Serina hissed as she retracted her hand from Yukuwusha's chest and her hand came out in black blood.

"Disgusting."

Serina then let the body slump down to the floor after wiping her blooded hand on the dead body's clothes. She then heard a loud shriek and a loud slap after that, followed by the word hentai, to finish it off. Serina looked down to the neko youkai that transformed back to smaller version and shook her head at her while smiling.

"Never changes, does it Kirara?"

Kirara mewled as they turned to Miroku who bared a fresh red handprint on his face, while Sango stood blushing madly while backing away from Miroku.

"Wh-what happened?"

"You were controlled by Yuwukusha."

"Nani!"

"She controlled you to seduce Miroku."

"And you didn't do anything, ya damn perv!" she slapped him once again.

"Gomen nasai." He sighed heavenly.

Sango glared angrily at the seductress wishing she was the one to kill her and watch her die. Then she realized something else.

"And Sakkaku?"

"Apparently got away, as soon as Miroku's hold on him loosened." She sighed, running her hand through her golden locks.

"We got to find the others."

"Right." Sango placed her clothes correctly, placed her hair up in its regular high ponytail, and gathered her weapons before having Kirara transform once more. "Let's go perv." Serina rolled her eyes as he dragged Miroku's distracted state as he stared at his hand.

Sango and Miroku were on Kirara and Serina followed along side as they searched for the others.

XOXOXO

Kouga tried to hold down his weight so he could stay on gravity than being propelled in the air like a mere puppet. He could've whooped Kagura's wind ass already by getting out of this tornado, but he no longer had the possession of the jewel shards in his legs. During the resting time with the group, Kagome thought it would be safe if she had the jewel shards with her. Kouga was reluctant of giving it to her, but obeyed anyway since she probably knew what was best. He growled as stared at Kagura, clearly bored as she kept turning her fan around and around, just for amusement. He was starting to regret giving them to her. Just watching the fan, turn around and around, gave him an idea. Slowly, he started to walk around and around, trying to get used to the wind, until he caught on the winds movement and started picking up his pace.

Kagura sighed as she watched him just stand there like a confused idiot. That was, until she caught him making slow movements. What the-

She watched him go around and around, moving a bit faster each pace, until he was practically running.

"What does that fool think he's doing?" Kagura hissed.

"I think he's found away out of your trap Kagura." Kanna whispered.

Kouga ran around and around the tornado, until he was running up the wind. When he reached the top of the tornado, he ran quickly and twirled into the air, releasing himself from the tornado winds, and bringing him back to his battle. He swiftly ran as he dodged Kagura's wind blades, grinning at the sight of her scowling in annoyance.

Once he was near enough he threw out kicks and punches at her, only to be avoided when she used her call of the dead and had the monsters take the hit for her. Kagura scowled as she glanced at Kanna.

"Not yet."

Kouga growled as he kicked and punched the pestering dead youkai that came at him. But to his annoyance, Kagura called for even more, giving him an army of dead youkai to fight against.

Kouga could feel the wounds forming on his body from the claws and fangs of the youkai that attacked him. This wasn't fair, army against one, where's the fairness in that?

Just when he was wearing down, Kanna felt her mirror jiggle. She looked down at her mirror and then to Kagura who was looking down at her.

"Now."

A flash of golden ran past and around Kouga, along with a boomerang.

Kouga fell back when he was knocked down by a bear youkai and was about to get clawed, when the dead youkai became ash once more. Kouga stared up at Serina who was grinning down at him.

"Still don't want me around?"

Kouga huffed as he stared at the hand laid out for him to grab on, he slapped it away and stood up on his own, "I could've destroyed him, without your help."

Serina rolled her eyes as Kouga looked for Kagura.

"Apparently they're smart enough to know when to quit and run away." Serina snickered as she watched the large feather with the two reincarnates on it, disappear, followed by Naraku's poison insects.

"Damn! If you hadn't shown up-"

"You would've been youkai soup for them." Serina snarled.

"I had everything under control!"

"And when was that! Before or after that bear youkai was about to pound you?"

"Stop it you two there's no time for that! We still need to find Kagome-chan and Inuyasha." Sango scolded them, still on Kirara's back. "Ikou, Kirara."

Kirara then ascended the air once more. Kouga and Serina stared after them. Serina then turned and turned her head at Kouga who was still standing.

"Ya coming or what?"

"Yea…but what's with them?" he indicated to the couple on Kirara's back.

"Long story, come on."

XOXOXO

"Sesshomaru! SESSHOMARU! He's my enemy too!" came the hanyou running after the transformed Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru had released his beast and was now fully transformed. He sniffed the air trying to find the fiend's scent all the while crushing everything in his path. He cared not if he destroyed some stupid scenery, as long as his Kagome was missing and in the clutches of the damn hanyou, he could careless about trees and grass.

He could feel the wind whipping his mane and the crushed ground that rumbled under his feet every time he landed. It quaked and all living habitants around the area had taken shelter, away from the furious taiyoukai.

His crimson red eyes looked around his surroundings for any traces, hoping it was Naraku so he could take his urge to kill out on him. But since he wasn't around, he just killed any surging youkai that was running away from him.

His ears twitched as the audible screams of his brother behind him reached his ears, telling him to slow down. Sesshomaru snarled and shook his head at the thought of slowing down. He needed every second he had, because each second he wasted brought Kagome closer to the clutches of death. He will not let that happen, he'd be damned if Naraku succeeded his plan.

Each time his name ringed in his head Sesshomaru felt more of his control loosening. He had to put a stop to the hanyou before he truly lost control and can not control his beast anymore.

As if the gods were reading his mind, Sesshomaru's ears then heard the loud shrilling, ear-splitting, scream of Kagome's. Many possible sequences of what Naraku could be doing to her that made her scream like that entered his mind. His canines bit down hard on his jaw that it pierced through the fur and skin, producing blood. He then quickly turned his direction where he had heard her scream and followed from there. Ready to pounce and kill Naraku the moment he saw him, for even touching his mate.

Inuyasha's ears were ringing and had the same idea as Sesshomaru as he followed him. He clenched his fists as he quickened his pace. Hold on Kagome…we're coming.

XOXOXO

She screamed until her throat gone sore, that it turned squeaky and hoarse. She stopped screaming, but her body was still reacting to the thing in front of her. Fear was clear on her face as she began to bit her lip, close her eyes, and struggle in her confinements. She stopped struggling when she heard it speak.

"It's useless struggling, my dear."

When its voice registered in her mind, she quickly lost her fear in it, only to be replaced by hate, resentment, and anger. She opened her flaming blue eyes and stared at the red eyes of Naraku.

"You fucking vile, piece of shit!" she spat at his face.

Naraku's 8 crimson eyes stared at her in amusement. He found it amusing at how quick the miko turned from a scared and whimpering child, to a spit-fire, courageous onna in less than 30 seconds.

"No need for dirty language miko, and you're supposed to be the pure one." He teased.

"What do you want with me?" she ignored his comment.

Even if he wasn't in his ningen form, she could see through his kumo form to see the same damn smirk, mischief eyes, and persona the teme always had.

"You know me too well Kagome…" he crooned, "But you see…since you were out like an obedient bait you are, I already have what I need, so I have no use for you. I can just kill you whenever I want." He sneered.

Kagome's eyes widened as she tried to look down at her neck for her half of the jewel, but couldn't with the thread around her, binding her from doing so. So she just looked up at him and tried feeling for the power of the jewel. When she did, for the first time since she found out the spider was really Naraku, she felt scared and helpless. He was right. The jewel was now fully complete, shrouded in darkness and evil, and in power to do as he wished…wish…he now has the power to make himself powerful to the point even Sesshomaru and Inuyasha can't defeat him.

She swallowed hard as she tried hard to keep her cool, but it was useless, by the looks on Naraku's face, she could tell her knew. He knew she was no more a match for him, that he could just kill her and the others and be over with it. He knew it and the damn teme was proud of it.

Naraku took one of his sharp pincers and brought it to Kagome's soft skin. He caressed her cheek in his hand before grinning at her and cutting a wound in her cheek with its sharp tips. Kagome hissed as she felt something acid hot enter her skin. She continued to look at Naraku in disdain as if the wound didn't matter. He just smirked back at her and said.

"Don't worry Kagome…I'm aware of my powers and I'm aware that I can just kill you. But what fun is it, if I just killed you before your mate and his meddlesome otouto and his friends could get here? I want the pleasure of seeing them witness your death, slowly…" he chuckled.

"You son-of- a-"

"Uh, uh, uh, I suggest you keep your energy while you still have it," He said with glee, "That poison that is now running within you, will slowly kill you each passing second. Your powers won't stand a chance against it, considering the power of the Shikon no Tama is in my hands…Think of it as…a cure that turns out to be a curse."

Kagome shuddered, not because of the thought, but because she knew Naraku was right. She felt her powers draining and her miko powers to heal against it as well. She lay quiet as she began to feel light-headed and was slowly being consumed into falling asleep. But before she could close her eyes, they heard the booming of a roar. Kagome felt a little spark of hope surging through her body, before it was washed away from the pain-stricken poison. One of Naraku's beaded eyes turned behind him as he cooed.

"Ah! And here's our entertainment!"

Naraku moved aside for the first time since she woken up, enabling her to see where she was. From the looks of it, the land was barren and wasted; and the sky and its clouds were as dark and evil as Naraku was since not even a shrub grew. Only the trees that connected to the very sticky thread she was in, was standing in such a land, which had to be probably 4 or 5 trees that were yards apart from each other, seeing as the web was made big. The spider web Kagome laid in, ascended feet up into the air. Any ideas of getting loose and jumping down was out of the question; unless she wanted to die from falling from a spider web, which didn't sound like a bad idea, better than her current situation in hand.

Kagome took the new appearance of Naraku, since before all she saw was his black hairy face and eight crimson eyes in her face. Talk about up in your face and in your business.

Naraku probably could be described as…the black widow spider but 100 times bigger, 50 times creepier, and 1000 times uglier. How he was able to fit in this web, she didn't know. All she knew was that Naraku was stronger now and in a form that he could to his advantage.

Kagome's energy slowly dissipated, yet she tried hard to not think of it, trying to keep strong and alive as long as she could. She blocked all that was happening through her eyes and focused her powers into trying to heal from the poison. Naraku claims she couldn't heal because of the enhanced powers he received, but she might as well try. He's not the only one who's gotten stronger.

Naraku watched as Sesshomaru's inu form came into sight and rushed to his current location. He grinned as the normally controlled taiyoukai, walked into his trap.

5…4…3…2…1-

Sesshomaru roared as he was thrown back from the invisible barrier he just came impacted to. The youkai slid on the ground yards away from the barrier. He growled loudly as he stood up once more and tackled the barrier, again and again, trying to get it open.

Naraku rolled his eyes and sighed as he shook his head.

"You'd think he learn his lesson." He mused himself.

Naraku suddenly noticed the late entrance of the other pain-in-the-ass brother. Inuyasha came running with Tessaiga sheathed and fully transformed. He held up the sword and the blade turned red. He saw the fool grin as he used Red Tessaiga on the barrier. Naraku laughed as the red energy dissipate as soon as it reached the barrier.

"And you! I didn't forget you!"

"Fuck you Naraku!" Inuyasha bellowed as he tried Red Tessaiga on the barrier over and over.

Sesshomaru snarled as the fact he wasn't getting in sank into his head. He stood baring his canines at Naraku, the lust of his blood staining his teeth obviously clear in his eyes. He looked at the corner of his eyes to his hanyou otouto who was panting, crouching down with Red Tessaiga at his side. He must have the whole jewel if Red Tessaiga can't even penetrate through.

They needed more power. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes as he tried gaining back his control, so he could transform back to his humanoid form. Closing his eyes, Sesshomaru slowly took back his hold over his beast, silently promising he will get his share once he got through this obstacle. Letting his rational side take over, Sesshomaru felt himself changing. His white fur shed back to his smooth creamy skin, His long mane shrank back to its long beautiful silk hair. And his body parts returned, replacing the four legs to two arms and legs. Sesshomaru landed on the ground, turned his head up and opened his eyes.

"We need more power." He said.

Inuyasha turned to him and keh'ed.

"About time you got your head out of ya ass."

"Naraku has enhanced his power with the Shikon no Tama."

"Nani! He has all the shards! Then why doesn't he make his wish?"

"Yes Inuyasha, that's why he took Kagome," he fought the urge to roll his eyes at how dense he was, "Apparently he wants to play around first then kill us later."

"So why don't you use-…never-mind," Inuyasha made a sickening face as he looked away when he then noticed his aniki not only didn't have his swords, but clothes as well.

Sesshomaru's hair swayed as the most of it covered his bottom and back, while his long bangs and lingering hair barely covered his genitals in his front. (A/N: No drooling ladies xD) Because of his transformation, his remaining clothes he had, was shredded, and his swords were left behind with it. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes as he turned to see Naraku's nesting at a distance, with him and Kagome in it. Soon Naraku…soon.

XOXOXO

Rin and Shippou watched as the trees went by. Shippou had gotten used to Ah-Uh, so he had lost his fear back at the castle. Now as they waited for Ah Uh to take them to their master and adopted mother, they just talked a bit.

"Shippou-chan, when we find Sesshomaru-sama and Kagome-chan, what if they're facing Naraku?"

"Then we fight too!"

"But I don't know how to fight."

"Don't worry Rin-chan! I'll protect you. That's why kaa-san told me to!"

"Arigato…do you think we'll see Kohaku-kun too?"

"…Yea, I think so." Shippou assured, but not to see as a friend.

Shippou watched as Rin's face lightened up in glee, then turned around to look at everything up ahead. Shippou's mind them wondered off. He couldn't let Rin know about Kohaku. The Kohaku she knew that was taking care of her when she was kidnapped by Naraku, wouldn't be the same should they met up. It would hurt the little girl's heart. Suddenly, he felt the wind pick up. He came out of his thoughts and saw that they were descending the sky. Sesshomaru and Kagome should be here.

Shippou looked around for danger, hoping to see his friends and okaa-san instead. But actually he got neither. The place was deserted of any grass, plant, or life form around. The only thing around that showed Sesshomaru and Kagome were here, was the lingering scent of the said two, Inuyasha's, and disgustingly enough, Naraku's. He saw the damage done of the dead and broken trees. Sesshomaru must've lost control of his beast to leave tracks made from his youkai form, his tattered clothing, and swords.

"Those belong to Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin exclaimed as Ah-Un landed on the ground.

She jumped off the dragon youkai and ran to the discarded and forgotten swords. She picked up Tenseiga, but stood clear of Toukijin. The sword just gave off the feeling of evil to all that was around it.

"Why did Sesshomaru-sama leave his swords Shippou-chan?" the girl asked curiously.

"I don't know…something must've gotten him mad that I guess he forgot about it," he shrugged his little shoulders.

"We must take them to him! He might need it."

"Hai…but what about that one." He pointed to Toukijin.

Rin thought hard. She knew she mustn't touch that sword. Sesshomaru had told her and forbid her from doing so. Not because he was being mean or anything, but for protection. Just when she was going to suggest something, a voice called out to her.

"Rin! Get over here, now!"

XOXOXO

"Can't this fucking thing go any faster jii-chan!" Hoshi screamed, holding Tsukai for dear life.

"Iie."

"Make it go faster then!"

"Hoshi if this is as fast as it can go; this is as fast as it can go. We're lucky enough that Totosai-jii even came by to give us a ride."

"I don't give a Jaken's ass! Just make it go faster!"

When Hoshi met up with Tsukai with a wrapped bundle in her arms, she looked around for their transportation, only to hear that Tsukai couldn't find anything. After giving him an earful and strangling the life out of him, they started to walk, with Hoshi giving Tsukai a lecture, saying if Sesshomaru-sama cut her head off, that she would castrate him before Sesshomaru kills her. Tsukai gulped in fear and slowed down so Hoshi was in front so he could an eye on her and his balls.

After 20 minutes of walking, it was then Totosai flew by with Momo. Knowing Totosai through messages having being sent by Sesshomaru, he called out to him. He explained their situation to him and asked him a favor. Accepting, since he was going that way anyway, before they knew it, they were flying faster than they would've in walking.

"But anything could've happened to her by now!" Hoshi wailed. "She could be lost in a forest or being chased by youkai or-"

"Or be perfectly fine, standing with Ah-Uh and the kit."

"That or could be-"

"Standing with Shippou."

"Chikusho Tsukai! You said that already! Stop interrupting me-"

"No, I mean she's perfectly fine, look."

Hoshi turned to where Tsukai was pointing to see that Rin was indeed perfectly fine. She let out a relief sigh, before screaming to Totosai.

"Bring me down now!"

"You heard her Momo."

The cattle-like youkai turned slightly as it went down to descend. Before Momo could land, Hoshi jumped off it 10 feet off the ground, and landed with a big thud. She ignored the stinging of her feet as she then ran and screamed to Rin.

"Rin! Get over here, now!"

Rin turned away from the evil sword as the sound of Hoshi's voice rang. Her face brightened as she gave her toothy grin and ran to Hoshi while carrying Tenseiga in both hands.

"Hoshi-chan!" Rin grinned as she launched herself and hugged Hoshi's legs.

Hoshi was about to scold and reprimand her about going out on her own like that, but just looking at that joyful and innocent face of hers, she forgot why she was even mad at her in the first place. She then released a relief breath that she didn't know she had been holding and dropped to her knees as she then fully hugged the little girl. (A/N: Yea, yea, aw it up xD)

Tsukai then walked up to the two and ahem-ed as to bring the inu-youkai to her senses. She coughed a bit as she regained her emotions and posture; she pulled Rin away and softly said.

"Don't ever…ever, scare me like that, okay Rin-chan?"

Rin made her confuse face as she stared at Hoshi's pleading face, "Hoshi-chan was worried about Rin? Naze? …Shippou-chan and Rin were just looking for Sesshomaru-sama; you said we'd go see him."

"But I never said-"

Hoshi was about to retort that she never said such a thing when a flashback to earlier events popped into her mind. "Okay, so can we go see Sesshomaru-sama? It's been so long."

"Hai, hai. But for now Rin, I need to talk to Tsukai for a bit, you and Shippou-chan go play. "

Tsukai chuckled as he bent down and ruffled Rin's hair. Shippou, feeling lonely by himself, joined the two.

"Now who's fault is it?" he grinned.

Hoshi growled and removed one hand that was wrapped around Rin to punch him, "Urusai."

Tsukai playfully whined as he rubbed his abused shoulder, but then stopped whining when the scent of his lord, mistress, and the hanyou entered his nose. He looked away from the two girls and first saw the dumped of a land that they were in. He stood up with a serious face as he sniffed around.

"Sesshomaru-sama was here…"

"Yup! Ah-Un brought us here!" chirped Rin, not fully understanding what was wrong.

Hoshi sniffed the air as well. Her amber eyes flared as she growled.

"And so was his youkai side…someone has angered Sesshomaru-sama."

"But who-"

"Can't you smell it? It's Naraku, of course."

The two youkai turned around to see Totosai arriving with Momo. His old hands were crippled and wrinkled, but still could make the sharpest and swiftest swords there was in the land. His face was full of wisdom as he furrowed his wrinkled skin together. His eyes bulged as his hands were clasped together as he leaned forward in a slouch position.

"But …how-"

"Naraku is more powerful than ever…it seems he had captured Kagome and finally completed the jewel."

"Demo…not to give the teme any ideas, but why hasn't he used the jewel by now? Kagome-chan had said a mere fragment can power a small youkai 10 fold…but a whole jewel?"

"With that power…he could destroy all of Japan," Muttered Tsukai.

Rin looked back and forth as the grown adults discussed matters at hand. She didn't fully understand what was going on, but she knew well enough that it had to involve Sesshomaru-sama and Kagome-chan to be this serious.

Shippou's eyes widened as he heard his okaa-san had been captured by Naraku. Why hadn't someone rescued her yet? Where were Sesshomaru and Inuyasha? Why did he ever leave her side…he could've at least help her get away. Shippou's eyes began to tear.

Tsukai, Hoshi, and Totosai smelled salty fragrance in the air. They stopped talking and remembered there were still children in their presence. Hoshi looked to who was crying and saw it was Shippou who was doing it. She then remembered the tight relationship the kit had with the miko. Her eyes softened as she imagined herself hearing someone close to her was being captive by a horrid beast like Naraku. Hoshi, moved Rin so she was wrapped in her right arm, and pulled Shippou so he was in her left arm. She then pulled him tight as she assured him.

"It's going to be okay…we'll save your okaa-san"

"Hoshi, I'm not sure, you should be-"

"Hush!" she glared at Tsukai, who immediately became quiet.

"Promise?" Shippou looked up to her with his glassed emerald eyes.

"Hai. I promise."

"Pinky swear?" he held up his tiny paw.

"Eh?"

"Kaa-san showed me that when she makes promises, two pinkies, the person you're promising to and the person making the promise, make like a seal bond with their pinkies to assure that the promise is done."

"I see…"

Hoshi smiled as she took her arm that was around him and held it out to him. Rin, Tsukai, and Totosai, watched as the two clasped the two pinkies. Shippou sniffled as he shook the two pinkies before taking his away. Hoshi's eyes then softened once more as she took the two youji together once more and hugged them, while humming a soft tune. The two allowed the soft tune trance into a sleep state.

"Okaa-san…" Shippou whined, before falling asleep along with Rin.

Positive that they were both asleep by the easing and calm breaths they took, Hoshi picked the two up and carried them, each in an arm; Shippou cuddling closer to Hoshi for warmth and Rin holding Tenseiga with a tight grip. Tsukai offered to take one of them, but she shook her head in a motherly daze as she took them to Momo.

"I hope you know what you're doing." Tsukai warned.

"I don't…but I pinky sweared."

Just as she was about to follow her, Totosai held a cloth out to Tsukai to take. Tsukai looked down at the silk red ragged cloth, that looked liked it had been ripped from a nice clothing, that was held out to him, before looking back up at the old man.

"Nani?"

Totosai nudged his head to the forgotten katana, "So the evil doesn't consume you."

Understanding and a bit reluctant that a mere cloth would prevent the sword from swallowing him up and having him kill everyone in sight, Tsukai nodded as he took the cloth from the old youkai and walked over to the evil sword. Just near it, sent shivers down his spine. He spread the cloth out and carefully bent down as he went to wrap the katana. He could feel the momentarily urge for blood enter his system, but quickly shook it away as he grasped the sword and quickly wrapped the cloth around it. The sword then lowered its evil energy as if it recognized the cloth. Waiting for anything to happen, he then turned and carried the clothed katana to the group that was waiting for him. He then aboard Momo with Totosai while Hoshi aboard on Ah Un with the two youji. Just as they were going to ascend the air, Tsukai curiously asked.

"What is this cloth made of?"

"Nothing, just plain thread and Sesshomaru-sama's blood."

XOXOXO

A/N: Daaamnnnn: I need a pause for a minute….we all do. –phew- that's already 22 pages in Microsoft Word and I still need to put in the fighting scene with Naraku. Hopefully you guys that are still interested will bear this chapter for a bit longer. Because this is it, and the next chapter is the last for this story…errr until I get my sequel in, which wouldn't be for a while since I got other chapters to update. Yeaaa…well I said my thing and break time is over, continue on already! Stop reading this and get to the end ya peanuts! xD

XOXOXO

Sesshomaru scowled as he watched his otouto continue to hit his red katana over the barrier, over and over, again, only to be thrown back and up again to do the same thing. This was ridiculous, the fool couldn't accept the fact they weren't getting in that way. They needed more power than just Red Tessaiga. Damn…if only he didn't drop his swords back there…he would've blasted his shield away like it was nothing. But he didn't…so he had to deal with Inuyasha's constant cussing and failed attempts. Damn him for leaving his swords, damn Inuyasha's weak self, and Damn him! That damn hanyou who he could feel watching him and grinning like a Persian cat.

XOXOXO

Naraku curled one of his pincers around the completed dark jewel. He loved this feeling. The feeling of victory, success, and domination, all in one little jewel that laid in his possession. Those imbecile brothers were still trying to get into his barrier, and the miko seemed to be in a concentration of some sort, but that didn't matter; as long as she kept quiet and out of his hair, he'd be fine.

He saw his insects flying to him. He looked into their eyes and saw Inuyasha's little friends, the new hanyou he didn't expect, and the ookami prince coming his way.

So they defeated Kagura and Sakkuku…pity. Now they must pay. From the looks in one of the pair of eyes, Yuwukusha had already sealed her fate. Well, at least that's one least reincarnation to kill.

His face crooned as he grinned. He could sense help coming to the taiyoukai and hanyou's help. Let them come…he had been yearning for this moment for a long, long, long, time.

In the corner of his eyes, a knelt young man waited for his master's command. How nice was it for the miko to take the ookami's jewel shards for him, she made it easier for him than to just take it by force. Having those two shards, his big piece of it, and her other half, it was nearly completed, except for his little controlled minion, who held one that kept him alive. Naraku didn't feel the need to kill the boy, so he took the jewel shard from the boy; killing him instantly and hooked an invisible thread to the back of his neck, like he did before, when he had the young man kill the other taijiya. The completed jewel had given Naraku immense power and it felt good. He then transferred a bit of the energy to the boy to give him life and power over him.

Now he had a puppet that wouldn't betray him nor lose. He grinned that his poison fangs gleamed in the dark as it pierced his hair lip.

"I think…it's time for you to get reacquainted with your older sibling, don't you think so…Kohaku?"

The young man whose boyish short hair, was now long that it was siding down his back. He had to put it into a high ponytail to keep it from getting in his way. His muscled chest that showed in his taijiya warrior clothing, showed much growth and well training. He picked up his sickle-chain and threw it so fast that it cut off 1/5 of the web thread on the tree in seconds. He reeled in his chain and held it to him face. His dark black eyes narrowed as he stared at him master.

"Ikou…"

And he was off.

XOXOXO

Sesshomaru sniffed the air and stood up straight.

"Inuyasha, stop your feedless attempts."

"Shuddaup teme! At least I'm making an effort to save Kagome!"

Sesshomaru dashed and grabbed Inuyasha by the throat, rising him up so Sesshomaru could look at him. Sesshomaru looked into his similar golden hue irises and snarled.

"This Sesshomaru will do as much as to save his mate, but it should've gotten to your thick skull that throwing your sword however you wish isn't going to open the barrier."

Sesshomaru tightened his grip over Inuyasha's throat as Inuyasha was about to retort back. Sesshomaru remained hanging him in mid-air even though he knew they had an audience.

"Whoa there Sesshomaru-sama, as annoying as he is, we still need him." Serina jumped to the side of them.

Behind her, Kirara came into landing with Miroku and Sango jumping off and Kouga arriving as well. Sesshomaru narrowed dangerously at Inuyasha, and Inuyasha back, before dropping him like he was a bag of trash. Inuyasha fell on his bottom as he rubbed his sore and abused neck, a little hoarse growl emitted from it. Sesshomaru turned away from Inuyasha, which was a bad move in his condition. A light wind passed and blew his hair, and Serina was still standing beside him.

"Whoa! No disrespect to you and your…ahem…friend down there, Sesshomaru-sama, but Kagome isn't here so …you wanna put that…away." Serina looked away with a sly grin.

Sesshomaru's eyebrow rose, but paid no attention to her mindless rants. To him, it was Inuyasha without a dick but grew breasts. Miroku, Sango, and Kouga had the decency to look away and ignore the nude taiyoukai.

"Welch, this Sesshomaru has no shame in his body, but if you haven't the brains to notice, I lack my clothing."

Serina lightly blushed. She covered her embarrassment by changing the subject.

"By the way…where's Kagome?"

"She was taken by Naraku." Sesshomaru's beast rumbled.

"NANI? And you didn't try to save her!" Kouga ran and grabbed Inuyasha's red haori.

"That's what we've been trying to do!" Inuyasha jumped away and crossed his arms, "Red Tessaiga doesn't work on this barrier…Naraku has increased his power."

"How?"

"Isn't obvious," Miroku intervened, "Kagome-sama has the other half to the jewel and he needs it to complete it. And by judging by the looks of this barrier," Miroku's spiritual powers flared, "it's completed."

Sango's eyes widened as she joined in, "So now he's toying with us!"

"Apparently," Inuyasha grumbled.

As the group contemplated this resort, Sango's eye began to water. Miroku heard soft sniffles and turned to the strong taijiya. His serious face had then turned concern as he took Sango into his arms.

"Daijoubu?"

"Ko-kohaku…he's dead." She cried.

Miroku and Inuyasha exchange looks as Sango buried her hands into her face as she let out her sorrow. She was the last taijiya in her tribe left, she was alone now. If the jewel was complete, then that means the shard that kept Kohaku alive and Sango's hope of saving him from the clutches of Naraku was gone.

As everyone wallowed in their silence for the realization of the death of Kohaku, Sesshomaru could careless and was thinking on the matters at hand. He glared hard at the barrier on how to destroy it, when he saw something fast running their way. Sesshomaru snarled as he took his two claws and formed his green poison whip. Everyone then came out of their reverie and looked up to what Sesshomaru was preparing for. Sesshomaru sniffed the scent and it smelled like Naraku, but it was dead, yet powerful. When the figure came noticeable, it disappeared. Sesshomaru snarled.

"What the hell was-"

Before Inuyasha could finish anything, Sesshomaru threw his poison whip so it recoiled around a silver chain. The group turned to the caught sickle that was inches from Inuyasha's heart. Inuyasha's eyes grew 10 times its original size at how close he was to dying. Sesshomaru pulled the chain to get the weapon away from the attacker, but the attacker wouldn't let go as he pulled back like a tug-of-war.

Sango stared at the sickle chain and muttered, 'it can't be,' as she let her eyes travel to the owner of the weapon. She thought her eyes were deceiving her when the chain lead to nothing, like it was thrown out of thin air and was being pulled, but she recognized that weapon and knew better. She took her boomerang off her back and gave it two good spins before letting it go and having it knock at the attacker. But the attacker saw this and jumped away from the boomerang. It kept hold on his grip on the weapon, but its invisibility broke and his true self shown. Sango caught her boomerang as it returned to her and then fell to her knees as she saw who it was.

"You're…alive."

Break Skit
