Destiny Meets Death

Sesshoumaru's POV

We walked back to the hut and saw Totosai waiting there for us. Inuyasha was the first to complain. " Aw, damn. Not you again. What do you want?"

" I came to speak with Sesshoumaru. I was told that I would find him with you."

" And you were correct. Do you have Tenseiga?" He nodded and pulled out the sword. He handed it back to me. I grabbed the sword by the hilt and placed it back into my sash. " Is that all, Totosai?"

" Yes and have you two agreed on working together?"

Inuyasha answered this time. " If we didn't agree, then would we be standing here together? Geez, your so slow sometimes old man. Hmph."

" Inuyasha, be nice. Thanks for the visit Totosai. We hope to see you again." Kagome smiled. Totosai nodded and flew off on his three-eyed cow.

We entered the hut and Inuyasha then questioned me. " So when are you going to tell us how to kill Naraku? You have Tenseiga back."

" Naraku can't die-"

" Damnit. That's not explaining how to kill Naraku."

" Inuyasha let him finish." Kagome yelled at the hanyou. Then everyone looked back towards me.

" Naraku can't die because his heart is in a separate place. His heart is now in Mt. Haki in the North. The only way to destroy his heart is by letting Tenseiga and Tetsusaiga work together. That means that Inuyasha and I have to travel there and destroy Naraku's heart, but that will be difficult if Naraku is in the area."

" Then we better start training." Inuyasha stood up. " Naraku's gotten a lot stronger since he obtained the last shard. We all could have been killed if Naraku had decided to fight us. We have to be ready next time just in case of anything."

Kagome stood up and followed Inuyasha. " Come on guys. Training would be a good idea."

Everyone else, including me, followed Inuyasha to the lake. We pulled our weapons and prepared for our training. " Ok. So maybe we should pair off. Um, Kagome and Miroku can practice together. Kohaku and Sango. And that just leaves me with Sesshoumaru."

"Should we all separate so we don't get in each other's way?" Sango asked.

" If we do that then there is no way I'm going to go with Miroku by myself."

" Kagome's right maybe Kohaku and Miroku and me and Kagome. That way Miroku can't like rape Kagome."

Miroku sighed. " I wouldn't do that. But fine I'll take on Kohaku." Everyone was then settled. Inuyasha and I stayed by the lake and the others left.

" Ok, Sesshoumaru. Do you want to test out Tenseiga's new attack?"

I looked at Tenseiga. " Yes. Let me do that before we get into battle." Inuyasha moved behind me and out of the way of attack. I swung the sword down and used the attack.

A dark black light shot straight out and destroyed a, what seemed to be, never ending line of trees. I was amazed at how much power Tenseiga now held. It seemed Inuyasha felt the same way. " Whoa. That was…. cool. Hey you wanna trade Tenseiga for Tetsusaiga?"

" Not anymore. I think I'll stay with Tenseiga." I looked at the sword and smirked. Totosai actually made Tenseiga useful than it was before.

" I don't want to practice with you anymore. You might kill me."

" Who said I wasn't planning to kill you anyway."

" Whatever. Let's go get the others. That should be enough practice to kill Naraku. I hope that wolf is ready because I'm not going to wait for him to be ready." We walked to get the others. Once we were all together, we headed back to the hut for dinner. Kagome had given us some weird food from her era, but I didn't eat any of it. It was human food after all. Besides I wasn't hungry anyway. I got up and went for a walk.

Kagura has been quiet for a while. I was beginning to worry about her, even though I knew she was dead. It was hard having her around as just the spirit in the winds because I knew that I would never have the chance to see her again or to touch her. I hated myself for falling in love with her, but I couldn't help it anymore. She was important to me. Probably more important than I wanted her to be.

I smirked. Tomorrow will be the day we go after Naraku. Tomorrow's going to be a long day.

Author's Note:

Hello all! I just decided to thank all of you who have reviewed my story. I never thought that this story would get that many reviews. So thanks. Um there's only a few more chapters left and the rest of the story is going to be mostly full of action instead of romance only because Kagura is dead and I wasn't planning on putting any other couples in it. Ok now for the preview.

Next time in Destiny meets Death:

The group goes to Koga's cave to make a plan to kill Naraku. Kagome comes up with a plan to trap him so Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru could go and destroy his heart. Will the group agree with the plan and will it really work to kill Naraku. Find out next time in Chapter 18: Kagome's Trap.
