Enter Malhavoc

"Well what do you think, Sango?"

Miroku looked up at the demon hunter. "Does that house look like it needs an exorcism?"

At this, the monk winked at Sango. "Miroku, you're terrible. You know we shouldn't take advantage of random people like this."

"Come on Sango, I'm just looking for someplace... comfortable" As he said this, his hand reached out and gave Sango's rump a good squeeze.

"Ahh!" She thwapped him with her Hiraikotsu. "Hentai... can't you think about anything else!" Sango was blushing slightly, and Miroku laughed from his spot on the ground. "You know I can't help it! My hand has a mind of its own!" He slowly got to his feet.

"Yeah, I know" The huntress smiled softly.

"Let's get rid of some 'Demons', shall we?" The monk grinned as he said this. Sango chuckled. "Oh yes, Miroku. Those 'Demons' won't know what hit 'em!"

Somewhere else

"Now, this may come as a suprise, but I'm not a Human" Our mysterious cloaked stranger ad encountered Sesshoumaru deep in the woods. The two eyed eachother warily. "Yes... I could tell this. However, you do not smell like a demon, either. Tell me... what are you?" The stranger laughed at this. "Very perceptive of you, Sesshoumaru." At this, Sesshoumaru looked briefly surprised, if only for a fleeting instant. Then his normal imperturbible mask settled back on his face. "Yes, I know about you... I have ways of finding things out about people... such as information concerning your half-brother, Inuyasha. Very well... My name is Malhavoc" with these words, the stranger smiled, his mouth visible under the shadows cast by the hood. "and I am not of this world..."

'What's with this guy?' Sesshoumaru thought. 'I can sense that this man has incredible power... Why would he come here...'

"I sense that you could be a powerful ally... and i think I could find some use of you" Malhavoc grinned. "Why would I ally myself with you?" Sessy sneered. "Because I can help you, and you know it... I know what you want. The thing you desire... The Tetsusaiga!" Mal was busily probing through the Dog Demon's mind, picking out bits of information concerning him, and ways he could manipulate this to his advantage.

Sesshoumaru was suprised at this newcomers steady flow of information. "WHat did you have in mind?" Malhavoc smiled coldly.

"All in good time, my good demon. All in good time. We shall meet again, and speak of this further" With this, he melted into the shadows, disappearing from view, leaving Sesshoumaru to consider what had just occured.

What is Malhavoc planning? Will this alliance last? Find out in episode 4!

Commercial break! (lol)

The Dark One's Plan

"Hmph" Sesshoumaru was deep in thought.

'Malhavoc was quite powerful, I could sense it... but whats is he up to? He knew so much about me, but is apparantly from another world...He even knows about the Tetsusaiga! This thing he asks me to do...'

With that, The dog demon flashed back to his most recent encounter with Malhavoc.

"I have... a proposition to make, demon." Malhavoc said with a smile. "Your brother travels with a girl... a girl with an incredible ability to sense the Shards, they say... This interests me... but from what I hear, Inuyasha would defend her with his life... apparantly the shards mean a lot to him."

With this the Shadowy figure smiles at Sessy.

"and this is where you come in. You distract your idiot brother. I don't care how..."

Sesshoumaru eyed him warily... "Go on..."

Mal nodded "Meanwhile, I will take the girl... Inuyasha will come to save her, fool that he is. I will crush him, and you will get the Tetsusaiga."

"Lord Sesshoumaru!" Jaken's outburst brought the dog demon out of his reverie. "lord Sesshoumaru!"

"Yes Jaken?" Sessy sighed softly to himself

"Is something wrong, Lord Sesshoumaru?"

"No... Never mind Jaken..."

"Sesshoumaru... whatcha doin?" Rin walked up, bouncing happily.

"Just thinking, Rin..." He smiled at the young girl, for a brief instant letting the paternal feelings he had developed for her show, before he reverted to his typical implacable mask.

"Jaken... Watch over Rin for me. I have some... business to attend to with my brother."

"But Lord Sess- oh! I Hate it when he does that..."

Back with Kagome and Inuyasha

"Inuyasha... why have we stopped?" Kagome looked down from her place on inu's back at the dog demons face, which had a look of concern on it. He scanned the forest with his sharp hanyou eyes. "Shhh... i couldve sworn I heard- look out!" Inu dropped kagome to her feet, drawing the Tetsusaiga in one fluid motion. The sword aimed at his head stopped its deadly arc, and Inu found himself looking into the face of his half-brother.

"Quick as ever, I see"

"What do you want!"

Sesshoumaru sneered at his younger brother... "You know what I want... the Tetsusaiga!"

Inu sneered at this. "No way... but youre welcome to try to take it... I'd love the chance to sharpen my claws on you"

Kagome watched with bated breath as the two brothers suddenly leapt at eachother, blades flashing. She had trouble keeping up with the battle, but from what she could see, it seemed fairly even. She was so intent on following the battle that she didnt notice a sudden disturbance in the shadows of the forest behind her. They seemed to come to life, moving swifty up to her... before she had a chance to cry out, a shadowy hand reached out and grabbed her, and she was gone in an instant, as the figure melted with her in its grasp, back into the shadows from whence it came...

'WHoa! How could he have gotten faster? I can hardly keep up with him! STupid Sesshoumaru' "I'll show YOU! KAZE NO KIZU!" Inuyasha swung his mighty blade, sending several lines of energy at his brother. Sesshoumaru was forced to narrowly dodge, and the elder demon, who had thus far been mostly on the attack, was suddenly blocking a ferocious barrage of attacks... He noticed that Kagome was gone, and that his job was done... he leapt into a nearby tree. "Enough! I grow bored of this!" Inu leapt at his brother, slashing at the tree "Well then let me ENTERTAIN YOU!" The elder brother was too swift... he was gone...

"Come back you COWARD!" Inuyasha screamed after his fleeing brother... "wait... something feels wrong... Kagome?" There was no answer... "No! KAGOME!" But it was no use... she was long gone "KA-GO-MEEEEEEEEEEE! Damn you sesshoumaru...DAMN YOU!

Kagome's been kidnapped, but who would do such a thing? Will Inu find her? FInd out in the Next episode!
