AN. I am so sorry it has been so long. I really intended to get my chapters out faster than this. I don't think the next chapter will be too long in coming...in fact...I may have one up by Monday. But I am not promising that because last time it didn't work out so well. I am so sorry. Oh, this chapter is a bit more serious but the next one should have some more light hearted fun in it. Hopefully. Then things will get a little more serious for a little while then lighten up again. At least that is the plan. So is everybody clear on that? No? Oh well please enjoy it anyway.

Ok so I don't own Inuyasha or Fruits Basket. Yadda yadda yadda.

Miroku Sango and Shippou rode Kirara in the direction they heard the screaming coming from.

"Over there!" Shippou cried out hopping up and down on Sangos' shoulder.

"That snake demon is carrying off a young girl." Sango stated wishing that she had her hiraikotsu. The weapon she did have was deadly it's self but she wasn't used to it. It also didn't have the range she was used to. It was the very tip of a dragons bulbous tail. Sango had separated it from the rest of the tail and mounted it on a long chain that she could use to swing it and bring it back to her hand by snapping the chain back. The bulb was larger than Jinenji's head and covered with bladed spines. The spines were quite strong and could pierce just about anything if enough pressure were applied. The weapon reminded her of a picture Kagome had shown her once of some knights' weapon she called a morning star only a much bigger.

Mirokus' serious voice snapped her attention back to the moment. "That isn't just any snake demon. Take a closer look at the pattern on its' back."

Sango hissed when she noticed the spider mark on the snake demon's back. "That means that it..."

"Yes, It is an incarnation of Narakus'. The young woman...she dresses a lot like Kagome."

"She must be from Kagome chans' time." Sango stated even as she urged Kirara to close the distance between them and the Snake. "But, I thought that only Kagome and Inuyasha could go through the well."

"Yes, it is a mystery. I suspect that snake think's that it has captured Kagome for Naraku. Inuyasha was concerned about something like that happening. That was why he was taking Kagome home. What will happen I wonder when the snake finds out that it kidnaped the wrong girl?"

"I don't intend to wait to find out. If only I had my hiraikotsu I could kill the snake from here."

"Yes but without Inuyasha here to catch her the girl would fall to her death."

"Hold it snake!" Sango shouted out in challenge. Trying to buy them more time to catch up to the creature.

For an instant the snake turned to see who was behind it. Instantly the girl in his arms started crying out for help while kicking and waving her arms frantically.

"Ssstop it! I Sssaid or I will drop you." The snake told a frantic Tohru. At first it didn't seem like she understood what it said to her over her cries for help. But when he started to let go of her she instantly started screaming louder. Wrapping her arms around him she dug her nails into his neck and shoulders clinging to him for dear life.

The snake was really angry now and couldn't stop hissing at her. "Hisss. Let go Ssstupid girl or I will kill you myssself. Hisss. All I have to do issss bite you and my venom will ssslowly kill you. Hiss."

Tohru was crying wildly and buried her head in his chest and let her tears flow freely. She still clung to him but was very careful not to scratch him again.

"Got him." Sango whispered under her breath. As she threw her weapon at the snake who was still struggling with the girl. It flew true to target killing him and allowing Kirara to swoop down and catch the young girl. Or at least it would have. Another weapon flew out from nowhere and knocked Sango's weapon aside. It was Kohaku's.

Instantly the sky between Sanngo's group and the snake and girl was filled with demon's of every kind imaginable. There in the middle was Sango's brainwashed brother, Kohaku and the wind sorceress, Kagura. They were flying on a giant pure white swans feather.

"Kohaku!" Sango cried out. Seeing him sitting there with that lifeless look in his eye was almost more than she could take.

The wind sorceress smirked. "Haven't you learned by now that your precious Kohaku is nothing more than a puppet for Narakus' bidding? He is an empty shell. Good for nothing but obeying orders. Would you force his memories back on him? Such terrible memories. The boy just couldn't handle it."

"What do you want Kagura?" Miroku interrupted not wanting Sango to rise to the baiting tone of Kaguras' voice.

"What I want is of little significance to why I am here. Which I believe is your true question. I was ordered here. In case the snake managed to complete it's task. I recommend that you withdraw. Naraku would not be pleased if I had to kill you now. I understand that he has a different death in mind for our young demon hunter here. You as well monk."

I'm next. Shippou thought in total fear. But she didn't even bother to even look at the little Kitsune cub.

"What does Naraku want with Kagome?" Miroku asked. "He must realize that her powers are too strong for him to control. Others have tried and failed to possess Kagomes' mind. Her powers are a threat to him that I would think he would want to keep away from him. What does Naraku think to gain by abducting her?"

The monk has a point. Kagura thought to herself. What does Naraku want with her? "I don't know and I don't care. Hmpf you people are boring without the mutt around." She stated as she and Kohaku flew away leaving the demons behind who instantly started to attack them.

"Stay back." Miroku shouted to his companions. Together they had all landed so Sango could fight on Kirara better. Loosening his prayer beads Miroku unleashed his ultimate weapon the Kazanna. "Wind Tunnel!" He shouted as he thrust his hand out toward the demon army before them.

Miroku could feel the now familiar racing of his heart. Every time he used this weapon, he looked upon his own death. He could see it in the faces of the creatures he sucked into oblivion. The same death as his father and his father before him. Miroku could feel the tiny hole in his hand was slowly expanding. He had very little time left before his fathers fate would befall him too.

For a moment he didn't realize the poisonous bees were flying into his wind tunnel. He was too distracted thinking about how much time he had left to defeat Naraku.

"Miroku!" Sango shouted. Bringing him back into the moment. Instantly shutting off his wind tunnel he stepped back exhausted, tired and sweaty. Using the windtunnel always took something out of him but overusing it really left him tired. Not to mention the poison he had absorbed from the bees. Miroku fell to his knees. Utterly spent.

Instantly Sango took over swinging her weapon about with a crazed and wild intensity that indicated her anger regarding the situation. She could see, even as she fought, that a barrier had been created. One of Narakus' strong impenetrable barriers that even the Red Tetsusaiga couldn't break. They had failed to rescue the girl.
