Never Again chapter 7

Author's Note: Well I got hyper and got some more ideas for this so I decided to update! I might even update again today but I'm sure. All I know is we're pretty close to the end of this and I wanna finish it so that I can start some new fics! Don't worry though, I won't make up some kinda crappy half-assed ending just because I want to be done with this fic. And I do have fun writing it, but I've got so many ideas for new fics but I won't start any new fics until I at least have this one done and I want to have my other one done before I start anything new. But do you care? Pssh nah. Here's the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or InuYasha.

Last Time:

"Yusuke, we've managed to track down Naraku." Came Botan's cheerful voice.
"Well where is he?" Yusuke asked.
"It turns out he's in a village near where you are. The demon wielding the Tensaiga is near there as well"
"Thanks Botan!" Yusuke said brightly and broke off the communication. "Ok guys, we rest tonight and then track down Naraku in the morning"
"Hn, your lucky Botan's news put me in a good enough mood not to kill you." Hiei said coldly. Kagome was watching from under the tree.
"C'mon guys, we should get some rest so that we're ready for the morning." Kagome called to them. Miroku and Sango had already fallen asleep.
"Yeah that sounds like a good idea" Kuwabara agreed and with that they all found a place to sleep and despite their excitement for the next morning they managed to fall asleep almost instantly.

Now:

Everyone woke up almost as soon as the sun rose. All of them were excited and nerverous about today. Was Sesshomaru really going to revive Kurama? What if he wouldn't agree to it? If he didn't, what then? Everyone munched on their breakfast of fish silently. They all sat in a circle around the fire pit except for Hiei who was sitting in his tree as usual. You could've cut the tension in the air like butter. Sango looked deep in thought while Miroku watched her with a concerned expression on his face. Yusuke and Kuwabara had solemn expressions on their faces and hardly ate anything. Shippo just sat with his arms folded across his chest and looked at everyone with an annoyed expression.

"Ugh I can't take all this suspense!" Shippo exclaimed flailing his arms. No one responded to this but Kagome stood up. Everyone was so lost in their own thoughts they hardly noticed. Kagome was feeling like Shippo. She couldn't take the tension. She needed to talk to someone to get her mind of this whole thing. She remembered her talk with Hiei last night. It had reminded her so much of when she used to talk to InuYasha before he had hurt her. She decided it was time to have another talk. Kagome walked over to Hiei's tree.

"What do you want?" Hiei asked coldly while munching on his fish. (A/N: I can picture this and it would be sooooo kawaii!) Kagome just ignored his cold attitude and climbed up into the tree next to him.

"I'm nervous about today. What if Sesshomaru won't do it? What if he won't even listen to me? What if he just attacks me because he assumes I'm helping InuYasha still?" Kagome asked.

"Hn, you shouldn't worry about such foolish things. If your going to do something, don't sit there and worry about if it's going to work or not. Just do it." Hiei said shoving the last of the fish into his mouth.

"I guess." Kagome responded. The two of them just sat there in silence for a few minutes, but Kagome was grateful to be away from the tense atmosphere down below. She watched as everyone finished eating and then climbed down from the tree.

"Ready?" She asked everyone.

"Sure." Yusuke responded.

"We're good to go." Said Miroku.

"Alright. Let's get moving then." Kagome said as she hopped onto her pink bike. Everyone else piled onto Kirara except for Hiei who ran along side everyone and Shippo who rode in the basket of Kagome's bike. It seemed like forever until they reached the village.

"Sesshomaru should be somewhere nearby, right?" Miroku asked.

"Yeah." Kagome answered.

"How will we know when he's here?" Kuwabara asked.

"Well, it's not exactly hard to miss a tall, white dog demon with an imp demon that follows him around, a little girl, and a two headed dragon." Kagome answered with a sweat drop.

"Oh..." Was Kuwabara's response. He paled slightly.

"Don't worry, Sesshomaru's not that bad. He might not even attack us since InuYasha isn't with us." Sango said. Kuwabara still didn't look convinced but everyone continued on to the village anyway. They had almost reached the front gates when Yusuke noticed something. A little ways away there was a stream, and by the stream there was a small brown-haired girl playing with an imp demon who looked extremely annoyed. At the moment the girl was trying to put a flower necklace around the imp demon's neck.

"Hey, are that kid and that demon over there the ones who travel with Sesshomaru?" Yusuke asked nodding in the direction of the stream.

"Rin!" Kagome exclaimed running over to the kawaii little girl.

"Kagome-chan! Will you wear this pretty flower necklace I made? Jaken won't wear it." Rin asked.

"Sure Rin, but I need you to tell me where Sesshomaru is." Kagome said bending down so that Rin could put the flower's around her neck.

"You shouldn't be bothering m'lord, you stupid human wench!" Jaken said in that annoying voice of his.

"Lord Sesshomaru went into the village. Kagura told him that Naraku was here and he told us to stay here while he went in with her." Rin answered.

"Rin! You shouldn't have said that! Now m'lord is going to blame me for this and I'll be in so much trouble!" Jaken exclaimed.

"Don't worry master Jaken, it'll be ok." Rin said optimistically.

"Thanks Rin!" Kagome said turning to leave.

"Rin, have you seen Kohaku around this village?" Sango asked suddenly.

"No, I haven't seen Kohaku, but I haven't been inside the village either." Rin answered. Everyone started to walk into the village again when Yusuke asked,
"Who's Kohaku?"

"He's my younger brother. Naraku took over his mind." Sango asnwered quietly.

"Oh." Yusuke said quietly. They walked in silence all the way through the village when they heard shouting.

"You shall not pass to the castle, dog demon!" Shouted one villager.

"I'm pretty sure they mean Sesshomaru! Which means he's not to far away! Let's get going so we can catch up to him before he kills all the villagers!" Kagome said and started to run. The others follwed her lead, Kuwabara bringing up the rear because it was hard to run while carrying a body. (A/N: Not that I would know or anything...lol) When they reached where they had heard the villagers angry shouts and cries coming from they saw Sesshomaru fending them off with his whip and Kagura watching from above on her feather.

"Sesshomaru, wait! We want to make a deal with you!" Kagome shouted getting right to the point to get the dog demon's attention. She knew if she didn't that he would just consider them a waste of time and run off to get Naraku. Sesshomaru stopped attacking the villagers and looked at Kagome.

"And why would I want to make a deal with you?" He asked coldly.

"Because if you do a favor for us I'll use my miko powers to give you your left arm back!" Kagome shouted quickly.

"Oh, Sesshomaru said raising his eyebrows slightly, and what is this favor?"

"We need you to use your Tensaiga to revive one of our friends." Kagome responded.

"Is that all?" The lord of the western lands asked.

"Yes." Kagome said hoping desperately that he would agree to it. Kagome's heart was pumping loudly. "Please say you'll do it. You have to. Otherwise there's no hope for Kurama!" She thought desperately. It seemed like ages before Sesshomaru finally answered.

"Fine." He said. Kuwabara gently laid Kurama's corpse on the ground in front of Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru cut it with his sword. A bright light flashed and everyone had to cover their eyes so that they wouldn't be blinded. When the light went out, Kurama's eyes fluttered open and he stood up.

"Kurama!" Yusuke shouted running over to him. "Glad your back, buddy!"

"I'm glad to be back." Kurama said with a smile.

"Now you must restore my left arm, Kagome." Sesshomaru said walking over to Kagome. Kagome placed her hands on where his arm should be and they started to glow. Suddenly his arm started to form. Kagome kept using her power until it was completely restored. Sesshomaru walked away without a word and Kagura followed after him on her flying leaf.

"Why is Kagura with Sesshomaru?" Sango asked.

"Who cares?" Kuwabara answered.

"Maybe there's something going on between those two." Shippo said.

"Ha maybe, but she probably made some sort of deal with him or something." Miroku said.

"Well should we get going and find Naraku then?" Kurama asked.

"Are you sure you can handle fighting after being dead?" Kagome asked.

"I'm a little weak but it's nothing to worry about." Kurama replied.

"Maybe we should stay at one of the inns until tomorrow. We could all use a good rest." Sango said in a concerned tone.

"Well what about that Sesshomaru guy? We can't let him get to Naraku first!" Kuwabara exclaimed.

"I wouldn't worry about that. I doubt Sesshomaru will be able to kill Naraku, even with Kagura's help." Kagome answered. "Let's just take the day to rest." Sango and Miroku nodded in agreement and Yusuke turned to his fellow spirit detectives.

"Well guys, you wanna rest up a bit before we take on Naraku?" He asked.

"I would appreciate the rest."

"I'm ok with it."

"Hn."

"I'll take that as a yes." Yusuke said reffering to the last answer.

"Hold it right there!" A voice behind them shouted. They turned around to see-
