Months passed as the relationship between Kagome and Seshoumaru expanded. Inuyasha had not been heard from since the incident, and was believed to be in hiding since a price of high reward was placed upon his head. Sango was impregnated by the monk, and Seshoumaru prayed along with Kagome that she too would be with child...

The sun was setting on the 13th day of spring, and Seshoumaru and Kagome were out by the lake, beneath a tree, holding each other as the little ones chased Jaken through the field of wild flowers not feet away. Sango, only being 3 months with child, still roamed around the forest areas, seeking challenges from those w ho dared go up against a demon slayer with a bad attitude. The monk, still unable to control himself, was soon on the ground, stars appearing in his eyes. Kagome sighed heavily, lifted herself from Seshoumaru's possessive grasp and dragged Miroku to the shelter of another tree. As soon as he was propped up against it's trunk, she left him, for the security and warmth of her lover's hold.

They watched soundlessly as deep colors of purples, pinks, and oranges spread themselves across the ever changing sky. The sun, ending the day, and inviting in the night. Stars sparkled against the darkening sky, and the children, followed by a daisyfied (ha-ha my new word!) Jaken, came to sleep in their mother's arms. Kagome sang them to sleep quietly as her eyes to began to give way to the sleep that threatened to over rule her. Upon seeing this, Seshoumaru lifted her up bridal style, the pups snuggled safely beneath her grasp. He proceeded into the house, the servants lifting the two children from Kagomes arms, and taking them off to the safety of their beds.

Caught up in the moment of sleep, Miroku was left beneath a tree, and the poor, now sick Sango, left hunting in the forest. Not hours later the monk awoke to the sounds of rustling with in the woods just meters away. He stood shakily, arms outstretched as he prayed to Kami he wouldn't fall over... again. Seeing his staff in the shallow end of the lake. He bent down, lifted it, and then proceeded on ward. The glittering of the stars on the lake blinded him to a degree, the water almost as diamonds in his peripheral vision.

As the trees began to close in around him, he heard a blood shattering scream of woman in pain.

"Sango!"

His heart raced, as he ran to save the one he was sure was hurt. The trees were a blur as he ran hoping that he was wrong, daring to dream that his Sango was still alive, and that the child that grew within her belly was safe.

He arrived upon a clearing, the trees dispersing and opening up to reveal before him the sight of a bleeding Sango. She was on her back, her legs spread apart and bent at odd angles, her head turned to the side, and her hair sprayed out around her. Her breathing was heavy, her chest moving up and down slowly. Her Hands were over her belly, and every once in awhile she cried out in utter pain, her face adorned with the wrinkles of hurt and worry.

Miroku came to her side as fast as he could, and he noticed the bleeding trailed from between her legs, that her belly had bruises and cuts all over it, and face and neck looked black and blue already. She was very pale. Scared to death he yelled out to her calling her name, she turned her face to see him, and smiled slightly.

"Who?" miroku asked through clenched teeth.

"Inu..." she blacked out right then. Miroku clenched his teeth, and shook slightly in anger and in sadness.

"KAGOME!" he yelled her name loud and clear, as well as Seshoumaru's, hoping that they could hear him and help him get his Sango home before it was to late.

Kagome was laying in her bed, snuggled against Seshoumaru's warm, firm chest. His hands were wrapped around her small belly where he was hoping for a child to grow soon. As he pulled his hand up to her head to stroke her soft hair an ear piercing scream sounded through out the western lands. Kagome shook awake from her dazed sleep and pushed herself up out of his arms as he too stood.

"sango!" With the strength of a crazed demon she pushed out of his arms and moved to the bedroom's balcony. Moving aside curtains she stepped out onto the railing and then, spotting the lake, turned back to her lover where he was met with blood red eyes. She nodded and growled as she sprung from the rail, her hair flying up above her, and her silk robe following it. as she came within twenty feet of the ground she threw her arms out, her aura lashing out around her. She landed with a loud crash, and the sand beneath her flew up and created a thick layer of smoke as she ran out of view of the guards.

"KAGOME!" she stopped in her tracks, sniffed, and then growled even louder as she was there within seconds.

Before her was a distraught Miroku, holding a very pale looking Sango...

Her eyes faded slightly and blurred with tears. She clenched her teeth and fists. "Who?"

"Inuyasha," Miroku whispered. She sniffed again and found that he was right.

"The bastard will die."

"I will take her Miroku." He turned, stunned to se a very uncomfortable looking Seshoumaru. "We must hurry or she shall die. Your pups are already endangered."

Frightened purple eyes met determined and calm gold ones. Miroku nodded and handed her to Seshoumaru. Miroku turned to join Kagome in the hunt, but found that she was already gone. Behind him, where the Inu-demon had once been standing, was nothing but a cloud of dust. He sighed and bent his head. And then followed after Seshoumaru, favoring to wait and comfort the sickly Sango.

With Kagome:

She sped off, bare feet burning in pain as her feet pounded hurriedly and sloppily in pursuit of the one person who had hurt her the most. She was tired of it. Hurting Sango was the worst mistake he had made. He would die tonight, and the blood sun would rise tomorrow to give proof to it.

She herself was bleeding from all the scrapes of stray branches, cutting flesh, and snagging on her robe and hair. Finally however, the scent of the guilty hanyou reached her and her eyes became crimson once again. With him she could sense the dead bitch he called Kikyou.

She came upon them making love in the forest, half naked and unaware of the enemy, he continued to kiss kikyou as she pushed his pants off of him. Moans and groans could be heard from both as his hands touched her bare flesh. Kagome heard this and she bared her fangs and allowed a throaty growl to interrupt the two lovers. Inuyasha spotted her and rose quickly to his feet, forgetting his nakedness as he took hold of his sword on the ground. He unsheathed it and held it before him.

"what do you want whore?" He asked demandingly.

"Your head, asshole!" She charged at him, pulling from nowhere a sword made completely of her aura. She swiped at him and cut through his flesh. He yelled out in pain as he realized she was moving to fast for him to see. He turned around, looking for her as she disappeared, her scent with it. And then he received et another gash on his back. Before long he was hissing from the pure aura emanating from her and the sword that she had constructed in her anger and hatred towards him.

Kikuyu was sprawled out on the grassy floor. She sat up to look and see Inuyasha fighting Kagome. She smiled. 'Perfect.' She reached into her mind and touched the spot of energy hat resided there. touching upon it three times she signaled Naraku, and then before she knew it a wave of red aura knocked her out. However, before her eyes shut and consciousness was lost she saw standing above her the flaming figure of her reincarnation.

Kagome, upon seeing Kikyou rising, made her way towards her, her head falling slightly in anger as her hair caressed her face and the demon markings upon her face grew jagged from utter hatred for the bitch that had caused her immense unhappiness. As she made her way INuyasha stepped in front of her, blood leaking down from his wounds, soaking his hair and pooling at his feet. She knocked him away easily and the knocked Kikyou with her aura and sword. blood splattered around her, and then her eyes grew wide as she saw the fuming Kagome above her.

Kagome turned back to Inuyasha as he dashed at her, trying to kill her with a swipe of his sword. She dodged, and then thrust her sword through his stomach.

"You bastard!" she whispered hatefully into his ear.

His eyes widened and he dropped to the floor with a thud. Crimson continued to spill forth and he soon joined the dead.

Seshoumaru, after having left the Monk with Sango, rushed to join his mate in battle. However as he neared the battle field he found Inuyasha already dead, the miko knocked senseless, and his beloved mate covered in blood from his brother. He walked to her, she spun around and held her sword in a defensive position as she once again prepared for battle. She obviously didn't recognize him while thrusting for blood. Her eyes were still dark with want for more. He came closer, stretching his arms out to her as realization struck home. She sobbed and fell into his arms. Red going back to icy blue.

"tell me she's ok."

"She is ok."

She hit him against the shoulder. "seriously Seshy!"

"She is fine little one! They are restoring her blood as we speak. The monk is currently looking over her. There is still the chance that they could loose the pup however.

"Miroku will only be to glad to produce another if in fact that sad end does befall the unborn pup. If he lives, he shall grow to hate Inuyasha's memory. We shall see to that." She spoke jokingly. "He is gone, and I am finally at peace with myself for having destroyed him. I can move on without worrying..." She reached up to take Seshy's lips in her own, but was stopped by a cold heartless chuckle.

"You are wrong young miko. Your problems have only just begun."

Behind them was a set of cold red eyes, gleaming from the darkness. Suddenly the light came in all to fast and their worst fears were realized.

"NARAKU!" they yelled at the same time.

"NARAKU!" he mimicked in a fearful tone. " oh now has the big bad Taiyoukai finally lost himself? Has he finally become acquainted with his father's idiotic weakness of female ningen?

"I am no longer human you ass! Or are you just so weak as a hanyou that your senses are dulled and can not tell the difference?"

He lashed out, a growl erupting from his throat as his face grew redden anger and his body lifted from the ground, and dashed towards her. "I shall kill you!" he cried, but was stopped by the movement of Seshoumaru.

"Take another step and I shall have to kill you."

"humph. Tsk, tsk. Seshoumaru! I cant believe you are defending her! She is a human. But then again you inu's have always had a very strong weakness for ningen..." And with a wave of his hand he lifted Kikyou from the ground. They turned their head s and watched as with a flick of the wrist her neck cracked and broke and blood spilt from her mouth. He tossed her against a tree, and her limp form landed on top of Inuyasha's.

"See? I kill even those who grace my bed... I am heartless, and power hungry! I shall let no one stand before me undefeated!"

"I'm sorry, but you will have to do so now!" Kagome yelled, and with in her hands appeared a bow and arrow. With swift movements that would make even the most incredibly fearless demon flinch, she hit Naraku in the chest with a purification arrow.

He screamed as his flesh began to rot away.

"It will take more than that little one."

'Seshoumaru!' Kagome screamed in her head for him.

'you've got a plan I assume?'

'Yes!' she answered. 'You know your sword of healing. Tensaiga of heaven? We are going to combine my attack of purification and your's together to make the ultimate purifying weapon.'

'I don't understand.'

'just attack when you see me move in'

And with that she ended the conversation, springing out of the way of two tentacles coming at her. She dodged them carefully, and then saw an opening before her as she moved in for the Kill. She looked at Seshy who nodded and he unsheathed his sword. He brought it before him, raised it above his head, and then allowed the attack to fly loose. As he did so, a tentacle came out and shot through his shoulder. Another went through his stomach. Kagome, unaware of the damage, saw Seshoumaru's attack and then unleashed her own. The attacks mated together to form a single stream that struck Naraku dead center. He began to fall apart, his many youkai parts converting into dust as the wind carried him away. A hollow scream was all that was heard.

Kagome turned to smile at her mate after having found the jewel shards on the floor and purifying them. But he was not there. She looked around, and found him wounded. She ran to him, tears streaming down her face as she saw the pain in his eyes. Upon seeing her tears he immediately made to comfort her.

"Kagome, I will...cough be fine." he coughed up some blood and spit it out to his side as her hands caressed his chest.

"Don't lie to me. Your in pain. I'm going to help you. I cant loose you now!"

Her tears landed upon the opening of the wound, and slowly her tears slid down his once flawless skin. Her tears grew and sobs shook her as Seshoumaru's breathing became even more labored.

"Seshoumaru!" She called out. his eyes flickered slowly. "Seshoumaru! I love you! Come on! Stay with me! Ses..." a hard sobb interrupted her and her body glowed a faint purply-pink as she cried out one more time... "I LOVE YOU!" his eyes closed, and a blinding white light shot forth from her and wrapped itself around him.

Darkness encompassed the both of them.
