Previously on "What was lost":

All of the sudden her hands began to glow with a pinkish, whitish color. Memories of standing up to Lucisherkon invaded her mind. She turned to Kagura and said

"Its coming."

Just then Nirania came busting through the door, claws glowing green and eyes glowing red. Knife in hand, and a bag for Rin's head.

Chapter 8: Protecting what is theirs

Rin took in Nirania, studying her, waiting for her move to attack. Nirania lunged herself at Rin, not noticing that she was wide open for a critical blow. She then summoned her poison whip and lashed it at Rin with all of her might. 'I really don't want to have to do this…' Nirania thought bitterly to herself.

"Nirania! Why are you attacking me?" Rin said as she dodged another of Nirania's attacks

"SHUT UP!" she growled fiercely. She knew if she didn't kill the human child her mother will think her weak, and her father will continue to ignore her.

"How have I wronged you? Please tell me!" Rin pleaded. She would not attack Nirania for she saw that the girl was not really attacking her on her own accord. She was conned into assassinating her, plus she was Sesshomaru-sama's first and foremost daughter.

"You took him from me!" she said not shooting poison at her and going at her with a whip, the knife long forgotten and just near Kagura's reach. Kagura moved toward it but then she felt a vibe go through her that shook her whole body. She cried out in agony as pain pulsed her body. She clutched her hands to her head where the main source of pain was, kicking her feet and screaming, the pain was just too maddening. Jufang went over to her immediately and tried to calm to kicking and screaming wind sorceress.

"Who Nir, who did I take from you!" Rin said with tears welling up in her eyes

"You took my father from me!" Nirania said stopping mid-stride

"No Nir! I didn't take him from you! Please you have to believe me! I don't want to hurt you!"

"Oh no sweet little Rin, you will be the one suffering from pain…just like that witch over there!" Rin looked over to see Kagura shaking in pain.

"STOP!" Rin said and then she let out a minor blast at Nirania, causing he to go flying backwards.

"You shouldn't have done that human! Now you will know pain!" Nirania said. She stood and her face was twisting up, her eyes were going blood red, and she was baring her fangs. Rin gulped and thought mentally 'Even if she kills me, I will not strike her, at least for my Sesshomaru-sama's sake'

Sesshomaru couldn't breathe. He looked wide-eyed at Inuyasha and then to Naraku. He tried to make his lungs move but they just wouldn't cooperate with him. Too much pain, suffering, heartache, and agony was overwhelming him. He felt his connection with Nirania come back but it was tainted which meant that she was in her natural youkai state, however she couldn't even transform because she was still so little. However Rin had come to a conclusion about something and even though she wasn't too pleased for the idea, she felt it was the right thing to do. Now Kagura's…his connection with her was laced and intertwined with excruciating pain and agony. He knew the reason why she was in so much pain…for once the same thing happened to him until he showed Arugak who exactly was boss. Arugak was able to cause people actual mental pain, he knew exactly what she was going through.

Naraku had sweat beaded on his forehead. He too looked back at Sesshomaru and didn't like how his face was completely blank. He had forgotten one minor thing…that he feels Kagura's pain mentally, that's why he always knew when she was depressed or anything like that. Now it felt as though her mind was being torn apart. He opened his mouth to Sesshomaru

"Lord Sesshomaru…what is going on! I know if I feel it your feeling it just as bad!"

"Feeling what!" Poor Inuyasha looked so confused

"Arugak is attacking Kagura mentally while she sends Nir after Rin…she's killing two birds with one stone."

"How can you be so darn calm saying that! Sesshomaru both of them could die any minute." Inuyasha said to Sesshomaru

"I have faith in both of them…for some reason I'm not too worried…" he said with eyes kind of distant but he still had his mask up, showing no emotion.

"What do you have planned?" Naraku said now rubbing his temples as another wave of pain came coursing through his skull.

"Naraku think peaceful and calming thoughts…I know its hard but just try…I'm going to use whatever power I can to prevent this again…" and with that he sat on the nearest rock and closed his eyes and began to soothe Kagura's thoughts and at the same time counterattack Arugak's.

"It stopped!" Naraku exclaimed. All of the sudden Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and he had a vision again of a beautiful female dogyoukia clutching her head falling to the ground and began to cough up blood. Inuyasha turned toward Sesshomaru and looked kind of pale.

"Who was that?" he asked in a small voice

"Inuyasha…" Naraku tried to warn him but was cut off by Sesshomaru's reply

"Inuyasha that was Arugak my first wife…" he said and then continued on walking in the direction where Nirania's despair was coming from the most

"She was beautiful…" Inuyasha said in admiration

Kagome and the others didn't catch the whole conversation but continued to walk after Sesshomaru. Kagome though did catch Inuyasha saying that some certain female was beautiful. Even though she wouldn't admit it she was thoroughly jealous.

Rin ducked out of the way of another attack. If Nirania kept up this pace Rin was surely going to run out of energy before her. Jump to the left. Tumble to the right. Turn around and block a fist. She felt her self begin to tire of this quarrel. She excepted the fact that she was going to die by Nirania's hand…however she wasn't going down without a fight. Even though she knew if she summoned up her new powers that she could easily purify Nir.

She was actually holding up a lot more than what she thought she was capable of. That was until she tripped…she looked up and saw Nirania's blade come hurl down towards her, she closed her eyes…all you could hear in the room was the sickening sound of metal going into flesh…however the blow never touched Rin. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Kagura huddling over her with a look of pain on her fair face. Rin could also see that she had the knife sticking out of her back. Her vision went blurry.

She could feel it. She could feel the power coursing through her veins. She reached for the dagger in Kagura's back, genteelly took it out, and threw it across the room. She then looked sharply at Nirania who had a look of pure shock on her porcelain face. Rin then gathered up the energy she still had and hurled it at Nirania in blind rage. Once again you could hear the sickening sound of something entering the flesh that was not supposed to be there. Rin looked up and saw Arugak huddling over Nirania, she too now had a gaping hole in her back.

Arugak whirled around and then outstretched her hand and was going to swipe her claws at Rin…that was until she locked fingers with Kagura……

A/N: Hehe, another cliffy! Sorry this chapter was so darn shorter than the rest! I'm not evil people really I'm not! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!
