Rated R-

This story contains violence, cursing and adult situations, reader discretion advised.

A/N: Okay, for all you people that like this story and my others I guess you people should know that I need a lemon/lime writer, and until that happens my story "Why do you even bother Trying?" is on hold. I shall tell every one once again that I only get a little time to write as my 'rents think it's a waste of time and that I have no talent, but whatever, I like doing it so I will. This also means that I have to do it when they're not home and I am which is once a week and I usually have a lot of homework so deal.

Flames are perfectly acceptable as long as they have a point. I'm used to having what I've done called bad, shitty, etc. That and it helps heat my coffee. ;p

Disclaimer: I will own InuYasha and co. when monkeys in pink penguin suits doing the cha-cha while they take over the world. Mind you even then I probably wouldn't own it until I became one of those monkeys. Off of that topic I own all my own characters.

Chapter 2-I WHAT!#$

Kari stepped over Naraku and waved her hand at him, he started to heal slowly.

"Once I'm safely away from this hell hole you'll fully heal." Kari grabbed the little girl and walked out, the others following closely.

"Shall we actually trust who she says she is Sesshoumaru? It could be a fake." Kagome asked a bit nervous.

"I only met the ruler of Light City once but she has a distinct way of doing things, it can't be copied. I am positive that this is her." Sesshoumaru walked out quickly after Kari having to run to catch up.

Kari quickly walked right out of that hellhole hoping to leave as soon as possible, knowing that Naraku would not live up to his word.

"Kari-sama where is Rin going?" Rin asked as she continued on absent-mindedly.

"Kari-sama could you at least place Rin down?" Kari, hearing the last bit gently placed Rin down and glanced back at the other that were running to keep up.

"Hn. You people are going to get us thrown back in the place if you don't hurry up.

Sesshoumaru glared at her slightly, "Excuse us for being tired and starving, we are actually treated like slaves."

Not saying a word Kari turned away from them and kept walking. Shippo watched her tears coming to his eyes. Upset at Sesshoumaru's words he jumped from his arms and ran up to Kari jumping at her, being young he misjudged the direction and veered off to the left.

Kari sensing the approaching kit knew that he was about to hit a wall, and she caught him by the scruff of his neck an inch before and held him there, looking at the wall,

" Shippo what have I told you?"

"To eat my vegetables?" He said quietly.

"Shippo," Kari warned,

"That over estimating or under estimating something may be the last thing I ever do because you won't always be here for me?"

"Continue…"

"That you fight your own battles," Shippo said his voice dropping even more,

"And…" Kari stressed

'Crying is for the weak, peoples words don't change anything and that I'm supposed to learn to control myself."

"Yes Shippo, that's right."

Kari sighed slightly and pulled Shippo to her and placed him on her shoulder.

Kagome watched as Kari gave the small kitsune a brief lesson on life's teachings. The words struck Kagome as something on who has been treated badly and always seemed to be told that she wouldn't understand things that other people went threw and in reality has been threw it and worse. She tilted her head in that distinctly canine way that let you know they were curious.

"Not to be rude or anything but when was your last meal Konoko-sama?"

Kari stopped once again and silently thought about it,

"Three months ago I believe, Shippo was blamed for something he didn't do and his rations were cut to three times a week, he needed the food so I told him not bother saving any until he got full rations again."

Sesshoumaru turned his head away; he had just insulted her by basically saying that she was treated better because she was acting instead of actually fighting off Naraku and that the whole thing was for show. He thought she actually was Naraku's whore. Now that he thought about it, he had never once smelt the scent of arousal coming from her just the filthy hanyou.

Kari knowing she wasn't about to get an apology started walking again and they finally made it out side to see an enormous army waiting for them.

"I knew he was too dishonourable to keep his word." Kari muttered slightly peeved.

Naraku stood with them smirking evilly in his dishevelled state. He was still suffering from the poison that Kari had injected him with and as soon as Kari realized that he wasn't about to keep his word she released the poison back into his body from the place it had been gathering, near his heart. Naraku fell to the ground once again…
