Kitsune'sangelofflames: I'm sure it did hurt! I wouldn't like that to happen to me…That's what I thought about Kirara though. I wasn't sure, though, and I didn't want any tomatoes thrown at me…lols. Thank you for the wonderful, long review! You get an extra cyber-cookie!
Red Skyies: Thank you as well for the long review(s):P Extra cyber-cookie for you, too. Thank you for the soda, cookies, cupcakes, and chocolate! Oh, how that appeals to my sweet tooth…
Phalon22: You get an extra cyber-cookie too, just for the heck of it and cause I loved your review! Yes, little hentai is good…at least I hope so, since I, myself, am entitled to a hentai moment here and there
Inuyashalover014: I really appreciate your long review (as I enjoy replying to them) I assure you, I am not really trying to make Inuyasha seem like the bad guy, as I have a bit of a crush on him too…(gotta luv the ears) I have to be a little mean because it goes toward the plot. I promise that Kag and Inu will make up in the end (as friends since this is a sess/kag) but they'll be okay. Kikyou dies next chapter. There it's out:P Too bad three gazillion people don't even read anybody else's replies. Oh, well. Too bad for them cause I'm not saying it anywhere else. See if they all notice. If by new character you mean Kiseki then…umm…well…since in the end it's going to be a Sesshy/Kag, that's kinda who I planned on pairing Inuyasha with…(No tomatoes please) I didn't want to leave him all alone. Sorry…If you have any other ideas for his pairing or what happens to him, feel free to let me know because I do accept input. I am flattered that you liked my story enough to take the time to type out such an awesome review!
If you have suggestions, feel free to send them in!
LB: Today is HAPPY DAY! We've hit the fifty mark! I think that I am scaring anyone within seeing distance with all my bouncing around in the swivelly chair!
Disclaimer: (loud, peppy voice) I don't own Inuyasha…what are you talking about? (whispers) Okay, I think the lawyers are gone now…whew.
Chapter Twelve. We Meet Again.
"Once again you have stolen from me, Naraku. Now you will perish."
"Kukuku. You have not yet defeated me. I am too powerful."
"This time, I will regain what is mine, and defeat you. I allowed you to live the last time, but I will not commit such an error again." Naraku chuckled. "When did you become so protective of common humans, taiyoukai?" Sesshoumaru lashed out his whip at Naraku, but the hanyou had set up a barrier around himself. Kagome winced. 'How are we going to defeat him if even Sesshoumaru cannot penetrate this barrier?'
'You forget so easily what you are capable of. Use Awaiseikou.'
'Oh, yeah.' She directed the Awaiseikou at Naraku's barrier. "Tetsuka, it's not working…" (A/N: There is a long, uncomfortable pause here where Kagome realizes that she said that out loud.) 'Channel your energy into it.'
'I am…'
'Why isn't your energy moving, then?'
'WHAT?'
'It's like you're paralyzed…mentally, of course.'
"Kukuku…you have realized, then have you? This barrier makes it impossible for anyone within two miles to exercise miko energy." Kagome felt numb. Naraku strode calmly out. She raced after him. "You…bastard!" she shrieked, slicing Awaiseikou into his barrier. The barrier was unaffected, and her focus collapsed. She could barely hear Tetsuka calling to her as she fell dizzily to the floor, avoiding injury only by Sesshoumaru's arms. 'Kagome! You must wake up! Kagome!'
:-
Inuyasha unsheathed the tetsusaiga. "NARAKU, YOU BASTARD! COME OUT AND FIGHT!"
"Kukuku, I am here." (A/N: Sorry...can't get enough of the demented laugh)
"Where's Kagome?" Naraku laughed icily. "There is no need to shout. Your miko friend is unconscious…in your brother's arms. How sentimental." Inuyasha glared at him. "Prepare to die." Naraku stared straight at him. "How like the taiyoukai you are." Inuyasha gripped the tetsusaiga. It turned blood red, and he slashed it through Naraku's barrier.
:-
'The barrier is broken. You will awaken momentarily.' Kagome snapped awake. "S-Sesshoumaru?" He nodded. "Are you strong enough to stand?" She nodded, and did so. "Let's go get him."
:-
"DIE, NARAKU!"
"Inuyasha, wait!" He paused, and stared at Kagome. "Kagome! What are you talking about?" She concentrated. "Just…wait." Tetsuka was explaining what they had to do. '...This should not fail, Kagome. Now, call the kitsune while you explain to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. Afterwards, you must think up a new distraction so as to kill Naraku. You must succeed. This is the determining moment between victory and failure. The shikon jewel must be put together.' "Shippou!" Inuyasha stared at her. "Huh?"
"Shippou! Come here!" The kitsune cautiously raced toward her. She whispered in his ear, only loud enough for he and Sesshoumaru to hear, "Distract him. Distract Naraku. Trust me." The kitsune nodded, and pulled out his top, tossing it toward Naraku. Naraku sidestepped it. "You expect me to be deterred by fox-magic? A simple illusion?" Even at that moment, Kagome was explaining her plan to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. "We have to do this. I don't know what's going to happen after, but we have to try. This could be our only chance."

Kohaku paused, and his eyes glazed over as Sango approached him. He grasped his katana, listening to the silent command in his mind: Kill her.
Sango stepped closer. Miroku called out to her, "Sango! It is a trap! Don't go. He is still in Naraku's control." Tears welled in Sango's eyes. "Kohaku. I know that you're in there. You know what you are doing. Please. Come back." Kohaku raised his katana, turning to face Sango. "Naraku commands that you die." He was so confused. He could not remember who she was, but he had battled her before, and it was always painful to fight with her, but he had almost no control over himself. He stepped toward her to slash his katana into her.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
LB: Cliffy. Oooh. Aah. Next chapter I promise there'll be some Mir/San fluffies. Looking forward to 'Chapter Thirteen. No Matter What.' ? I know I am! And, next chapter, someone is going to die. You will not expect it at all unless I have told you or you have seen me tell someone else...evil hints. And it isn't Naraku. And after that…whoops. I'm getting too wrapped up in this. Can't tell you! That would ruin it. This chappie didn't turn out exactly like I wanted, but it's good enough, I guess. Now, onto business. At the bottom of your computer screen, you should see a section of text with an arrow attached. Do not click the arrow. Click that beautiful lavender colored button next to it that says 'Go'. Then make me happy and type:P lols. Couldn't resist.
