Naraku's POV

Well done Kohaku. I looked out to the others who were breathing hard and covered in scratches all except Sesshomaru. "Done already?"

Inuyasha growled. "Not even close. I told you already, I'm not leaving without her!" He glanced back at his still unconsious friends.

"Agreed." Koga stepped up beside him glaring at me with red eyes.

My gaze flickered to Sesshomaru who had yet to move a muscle to help them. He was rooted to the spot staring into my castle.

"Do you see something amusing to you Sesshomaru?"

He glanced at me and just glared.

"Hey!" I looked back to Inuyasha and Koga. "You're battle is with us! Don't pay attention to him!"

I chuckled at them. "Battle? What battle? You haven't even broken my barrier!"

"He's stalling." Sesshomaru's voice drifted across the courtyard freezing his brother and the wolf in place.

"Stalling?" Inuyasha spat on the ground. "For what?"

Sesshomaru shook his head. "I do not know."

"You're useless!" Koga spat in his direction. "At least help us out instead of spitting nonsense at us!"

I chuckled, they had no idea how right sesshomaru was. I felt her coming closer, I lowered my barrier shocking them all. "Fine, let's end this."

Inuyasha smriked and raised his sword. "That's fine by me."

They both charged at me. I let them hit me over and over battering my body.

"Stop!" Sesshomaru's voice cut through everything. "Can't you see he's letting you beat him?"

I growled. Damn him! if they even pause at anything he says everything is ruined.

"I don't care." Inuyasha glared at me. "I'll kill him, right here."

Sesshomaru's POV

After that demonic shockwave I kept my eyes glued to the castle only half paying attention to the others. This is all a trap and those idoits can't even realize it. I could feel the center of the aura moving in the castle, making it's way towards us.

"No, You won't Inuyasha." They all looked at me again. Naraku's gaze was full of hatred. He knew that if they even half listened to me his plan would fail. I could feel it coming closer. "You need to get out of here." I could feel it. This aura, it's as strong as mine, maybe even stronger. If we stay here people will definatly die.

"Like hell I'm gonna leave now! I came for Kagome! I'm not leaving without her!"

"Got that right. He dies today."

"I don't think so." Everyone froze. I glanced at Naraku and saw a evil sneer spread across his face, Inuyasha and koga stepped away from him. I looked back at the castle and realized that we were to late. A woman with long wavy black hair, beautiful black eyes and a stunning body stood in the doorway standing next to her was the young demon slayer Kohaku. She wore a short Blue kimono that didn't even reach her knees. It was cut low in the front and had long sleeves. around her neck was non other then the jewel. The shikon no tama.

Inuyasha and koga eyed the girl closely. "K-kagome?"

I blinked in surprise. it was Inuyasha's ward.

I watched as Kohaku ran to Naraku with tears running down his face. "I'm sorry Master! I told her to run but she refused!" Naraku looked back at the woman with a mask of surprise and fear on his face.

"Kagome! You should have run!" He reached out to her his arms covered in his own blood."

Inuyasha and Koga were staring at her intensly. "You're alive!" Inuyasha started slowly towards her.

She glared at him and backed away a step. "No thanks to you." I heard warning bells going off in my head. Something was not right. She wore the face of Inuyasha's ward but this woman was no priestess she was a full blooded demon.

"Inuyasha!" She looked over at me her eyes mesmorizing.

"Inuyasha?" She looked around the clearing looking at each face. "Which of you is Inuyasha?"

I kept my eyes locked on to her. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Inuyasha's ears flatten to his head.

"Y-you don't remember me?"

She glared at him her eyes turning red. "Inuyasha run!" I flung my arm out to distract her.

He glared over at me. "From Kagome..?"
