Chapter 4

"M-my demise?" Kagome took a step back. "Wha– Wha– Who are you?"

"The youkai looked shocked. "Oh! How rude of me. Gomen nasai. I guess my victims should at least know my name before I kill them, ne?"

'Why does she do that? Wench.' Sesshomaru looked at the youkai. 'She babbles. It's quite annoying.'

"I'm Kasaki! I'm a poison-claw inu-youkai from the Northern Lands." Kasaki drew her sword. The blade curved like Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga, but it was the size of Sesshomaru's Tenseiga. "Prepare yourself Kagome. Prepare yourself for death."

"What business do you have with the human. What grudge do you have with Kagome?"

"What do you care? Who the hell are you, anyway?" Kasaki snapped back, muttering, "He said nothing about her being protected by an inu-youkai."

Sesshomaru heard this. "He? Then, you are working for someone? Who?"

Kasaki chuckled. "Why the hell would I tell you? Why would a youkai like you be hanging around humans anyway?"

"This, Sesshomaru, does not have time to answer your questions."

That ticked her off. All you could see was a blur, but before she could reach Kagome, Sesshomaru pulled out Tokijin and blocked the attack.

"Nande yo ne! Why do you insisted on helping her?" Kasaki spun and tried to attack, the only thing heard in response was the clash of metal. 'Wait a minute? What's his name?'

Suddenly, Kasaki jumped back, away from the two. Kagome frowned, "Now what." she said under her breath.

Kasaki pointed her sword at Sesshomaru. "You, what's your name?" her eye's narrowed.

"My name is none of your concern." Sesshomaru replied coldly.

"Tell me shimatta!"

Sesshomaru smirked. She was filled with anger, frustration, and a hint of depression. Depression? Why would she be depressed?

"Is it Sesshomaru?" Kasaki asked impatiently. "Sesshomaru, as in Sesshomaru Lord of the Western Lands?"

No response.

"ANSWER ME! TEMEE!"

"You have yet to tell me why you are after Kagome."

Kasaki had completely forgotten about the mortal. "If you are the Lord of the West, why are you protecting humans!" Sword in hand, she came at him.

Sesshomaru easily blocked the attack. He pushed her away, she fell back a couple steps and fell to the ground. He pointed Tokijin at her. "Answer my question, fool."

Kasaki sighed, she would not be defeated to easily, but... "Kuso. Alright! Fine!" Sesshomaru sheathed Tokijin, as Kasaki got to her knees. "Have you heard of the hanyou Naraku?"

That temee had gone back to Japan. He to would head back. Maybe he would make it back alive. If he had the strength. He had fought with some powerful youkai, with nothing but his claws. He started west towards the sea . 'Temee. I know where you are now. I won't let you harm her.'

"Naraku?" Kagome gasped. Her voice dripping with venom, she replied, "Of course, we've heard of him. Now I understand. He hired you didn't he?"

"'Hired' isn't the right word." Kasaki mumbled.

"You would have to be low to accept a job from him."

"I didn't accept it!" Kasaki screamed. "Why would I take a job from filth!"

"Then he forced you into this?" Sesshomaru questioned. Seems like Naraku was up to his no good tricks again.

Kasaki nodded. "He... he took my sister..."

Kasaki's Flashback

"Momo!" Kasaki raced towards the room where her sister, Momo, was being held. Before she could reach the door, a cloud of miasma appeared. Strong enough to hold even the most powerful demon back.

"Kasaki." a dark voice chuckled.

"You must thinks this is really funny, don't you, Naraku? Let her go."

"I require a favour of you," A figure appeared from the miasma. A white baboon(A/N: Naraku deserves to be a monkey... I hate him). "Do this and I will let your precious twin sister go."

"And if I deny this request?"

A tentacle shot from Naraku's back and through the door, there was a scream. Naraku showed Kasaki. Wrapped in his tentacle was an unconscious youkai.

Kasaki gasped. "Nee-chan."

"If you deny my request I will kill your sister here and now."

Kasaki clenched her teeth, she knew she that she could do anything without Momo to help her.

"What do I do?"

End of Flashback.

"I AM going to get my sister back. Nothing you do, is going to change that!" Kasaki jumped to her feet. She had gone to far, to damn far to turn back now.

With amazing speed she passed Sesshomaru, and held Kagome up in the air, Kasaki chuckled.

Kagome struggled to breath. Was this how she was to die? No. She would not die, until she saw Inuyasha. Then, Kagome was on the ground.

Sesshomaru had knocked the younger inu-youkai unconscious. Kagome held her throat. Gasping.

"Sesshomaru."

He turned towards the miko. The look in her eyes said it all. Yet, another fell victim to Naraku. And, she wanted to help. He picked Kasaki up and her over his shoulder.

Kagome smiled. Sesshomaru wasn't as bad as Inuyasha had always said he was. They continued there journey east.

'It won't be long now...' then...

... she collapsed...
