Sakura is standing alone in the same spot, where she and Sesshomaru were.
"Sesshomaru-san! Sesshomaru-san… where are you?" She saw someone just ahead. Is that Sesshomaru-san, she thought to herself. The person started to walk towards her. To her surprise it was a young man, with a very pale completion, with long raven hair, in traveling clothes.
"Otokooya?" She called to him, but he couldn't hear her.
"Sakura-chan… Sakura-chan wake up," Sesshomaru said has he was holding, the now limp, Sakura in his arm. He looks as if he is worried.
Sakura ran over to where her chichi is. "Otokooya… I thought you were dead…." He didn't respond to her. He was staring to the north. A woman, in a beautiful kimono, appears out of nowhere.
"Damn you, Naraku." He glares at the woman. What is he talking about, this is not Naraku; Sakura thought, as she looked from her chichi to the woman.
"Now Mitsukai-maru, you should calm down. I would like to absorb your powers without all of that negative energy, it will mess up your powers more than you think."
"Naraku, your demise will be 50 years to this day. A powerful hanyou and the rightful heir to my powers will defeat you and your followers." Mitsukai-maru takes out his most powerful sword and whispers something Sakura didn't understand.
"No… don't do that…." The sword disappears. Sakura wakes up, with a jolt, on the ground. Sesshomaru was sitting next to her.
"What happened?" She sits up holding her head.
"You passed out, for no good reason at all." Sesshomaru sounds pissed. She wraps her arms around his neck and buries her face into his hair.
"I… I saw my chichi…. Just now… I have found where he hid most of his powers…."
"What are you talking about?" Sakura stands up in front of him. She puts her hands together and repeats the words her chichi whispered, to the best of her ability. A sword materialized in her hands. The long slender sword had an inscription engraved on it. Sesshomaru didn't recognize any of the characters that were written. Sakura brings the sword up to get a better look at the engraving.
"The cat and dog will put away their differences to help the greater good." She bursts into laughter, holding the weapon close to herself.
"Stop laughing! How could you read it?" She calms down and wipes away the tears that came out, due to her laughing hysterically.
"This same inscription was on my and Kaze's door, when we were younger. Our chichi told me what it meant. I can't believe I remembered it." She puts the sword on the ground, tares the sleeves off of her kimono, and makes a temporary sheath for it.
"Mitsukai-maru, your prediction was wrong. I have the rightful heir to your powers and I'll force him to be one of my followers, or he and his dear sister will be killed." Naraku was sitting in his chambers. Kana quietly enters the room.
"My lord, Sakura is with Sesshomaru, and they have found the sword."
"Good Kana, go tell your brother and sister to retrieve it before Sakura meets up with Inuyasha, again."
"Yes, my lord." She quietly exits the room. She goes down the hall to the room where Kohoku is guarding Kaze. He was chained to the wall of the room.
"Our lord needs you to protect this child a bit longer. We need him alive for his sister."
"What do you know of my sister?" Kaze pulled at his chains, trying to break them. Kana ignores him, as she leaves the room to tell her siblings Naraku's orders.
"Sesshomaru-san, I want to show you something." Sakura takes his hand and leads him south.
"Onna, where are you taking me?"
"To a place where I knew as home for a long time." She smiles, as they trut through the heavy brush.
Onna - Woman
Otokooya - Father
Mitsukai - Angel
