I'm just going to skip the "I'm sorry"'s because I know your tired of hearing it. I got writers block and it took me a while to work this one out, but I got it. Here it goes.

Chapter 27: Confronting the Fears

Kagome sat silently on Inuyasha's couch as Sango bandaged her wounds. "It's been a while since First Aid class, but I think that should stop the bleeding and keep out infection. I really think you should go to a hospital." Sango told her as she finished.

"We don't have time for that. We need to get to Sesshomaru's quickly. He is the only one that can help." Kagome argued, pulling her shirt back on. Sango shook her head. "I don't even understand what you told me; Kana sucking out souls and Kagura being in charge of hell. It just sounds all too far fetched."

"I didn't think it would to you, but you just have to trust me when I say we need to get Sesshomaru and find Kikyou! Who knows what she is wanting to do with all this power."

Kikyou now stood outside of a rather large business building, Inuyasha stood still beside her and Naraku was glaring around. "What do you think about this place? Is it big enough?" She asked Inuyasha, linking her arm through his. "Whatever you say." Was his only response.

"You were always this way. Hiding your emotions and how you felt." Kikyou said with a sigh. But she shrugged her shoulders and led the way into the building. As they all walked in, a security guard walked in front of them with his hand outstretched to stop them. "I'm afraid you need a pass or appointment to be in here." He said to them. The man was rather portly and hadn't seen to much action on the force. A diet of coffee and doughnuts showed on the front of his shirt and in his scruffy beard.

"I'm afraid that we don't have an appointment, but I think you can squeeze us in." She said with a smile. The man looked at her with a strange and confused look. Naraku hen appeared behind the man with a transformed arm in the shape of a blade at the man's throat. Before the guard could do anything Naraku easily sliced his throat.

An eruption of screams quickly filled the lobby as the blob feel to the floor dead. "If you wish to live you will leave this building. For anyone else, you had your warning." Kikyou yelled to the people. As people ran to get out of the lobby, more security guards filed in, ready for action.

Naraku looked back to Kikyou, a bloodthirsty look in his eye. With a nod of her head, Naraku quickly transformed his arm into a sword like scythe and charged into the swarm of guards. Men's screams could be heard down the street.

Sesshomaru now sat on the couch, papers strewn everywhere. He had missed several days of work and had used all his connections to try and locate Kikyou, but no luck had yet befallen him. The TV in front him, which he had been watching to find any activity on Kikyou, was now silent. The migraine he now possessed was driving him insane and nothing worse could happen. Then the sound of knocking on his door brought him back to reality.

As he opened the door, his stomach turned. On his door stepped was a rather messed up Kagome, a disgruntled wolf demon he did not know, and an angry Sango. "What the hell do you want?" He asked, giving a glare that would make anyone cringe. But Kagome did not falter.

"I know how to save Rin." Was Kagome's only statement, but that was all that needed to be said. "What are you suggesting?" He asked, stepping aside to let them in. They walked in silence, only to come to a stop. The sight of the paper decorated room and days old coffee made her look at Sesshomaru questionably. "I never thought you to be a pig Sesshomaru."

"Tell me what you wanted to say or get the fuck out." He said grunting. Kagome took a step back from the anger in his voice before saying, " I need you to almost kill Rin's body…"

Sesshomaru looked at her like she had just lost her mind. "Get out of my house!" He yelled, throwing the door wide open. "But…" She started, but his venomous glare cut her off. "I will find a way to get Rin back without harming her. And if you even try to kill her, I will hunt you down and kill you slowly."

Kagome went to argue but the look on his face changed her mind. She walked out everyone, stopping before she walked out. "I don't think I can do it Sesshomaru. It's Yurokia…I killed her once…how can I do it again?" She asked, not looking at him. "I don't really care." And with that, he slammed the door behind her.

Kikyou laughed as she walked through the blood stained lobby. "Good job Naraku." She said, looking around. Naraku walked over, his blades transforming back. "You know what I want and I'm growing tired of waiting." He said.

Kikyou gave him a warning glare. "Give me the power you promised! I got you your damn hanyou and killed that pesky girl." He yelled. Kikyou stared then said bitterly, "I don't think so, and your job is not complete."

"What are you going to do if I just kill you and steal your power?" He asked, a blade forming from his arm and pointing it at her. She remained silent, which Naraku took the moment to attack. But as he went to bring down the blade, it was caught be an invisible wall and a blast of power sent him flying back.

"How dare you try to betray me Naraku! If I didn't still need you, you would be in a pool of your own blood, same as them." She yelled. Naraku sat up silently, glaring at her. She then walked to the center of the lobby and raised both arms into the air and the ground around them began to rumble.

Kagome walked silently along the street, Sango and Kouga following silently. "What are we going to do now Kagome?" Sango asked from behind. She went to answer when the ground around them began to shake. "Earthquake!" Kouga yelled, running over to Kagome to brace her. "No…" Kagome said, looking off in the distance. A rather tall business building was glowing dark purple and spikes were jutting out from it as a large gothic style gate came from the ground, surrounding the building. The sky also darkened and people were running away in terror.

Kagome broke free of Kouga's grip and ran to the building. Sango and Kouga quickly joined her, staring up, taking it all in. "Well, I guess we know were Kikyou is." Sango said, staring up. "Kouga, go find Miroku and bring him here. Also fill him in on what has happened." Kagome ordered. "What are you guys going to do?" Kouga asked, looking at her. "I'm going in after Inuyasha." She said, marching towards the building before they could argue.
