I own nothing.


Sango was walking in the garden. The servants would not let her see Kagome. But at the same time the servants were trying to stop the bleeding. Sango looked to Kilala who was on her shoulder.

Hiraikotsu was over her shoulder. Apparently, Kohaku trained with Inutaisho on his fighting skills.

"What are we gonna do Kilala? I'm so worried about Kagome." Sango said. Kilala meowed.

Kilala hopped off Sango's shoulder. Sango turned to see where Kilala was going. She was running to Sesshomaru. She meowed as she sat. Sesshomaru nodded.

Kilala then hopped on his shoulder. It was as if Kilala asked to do so.

Sesshomaru walked up to Sango. "My servants have told me that Kagome is sleeping and they have stopped the bleeding. But she must rest." Sesshomaru said.

Sango smiled then bowed. "Thank you Lord Sesshomaru." She said.

"Hn. My father has told you that my name is only Sesshomaru. You and Kagome both will use the only name I require." Sesshomaru said.

Sango nodded with a smile.

"I hear the monk Miroku has taken an interest in you." Sesshomaru said.

Sango blushed.

"First time I met him,he was just being a pervert. If he comes around me again. I'll kick his ass." Sango said.

Sesshomaru smirked.

"The blush across your face says otherwise. Also h-" Sesshomaru stopped talking mid sentence. He looked to the East.

Naraku's servant, the wind witch is dangerously close to the Western border. but she is going East.

He looked at Sango.

"Follow me if you so choose." Sesshomaru said as he flew off on his cloud.

"Kilala!" Sango yelled.

Kilala hopped of Sesshomaru's shoulder just before he flew off. She changed into her larger form. Sango got on as they flew after Sesshomaru.

When they caught up Sesshomaru slowed down just enough so Kilala could keep up.

"The wind witch that belongs to Naraku is close to the Western border." Sesshomaru said.

"I assume your going to find out why she's so close to the border?" Sango asked.

"Indeed." Sesshomaru said.

Sango nodded.

They flew for a few minutes, when they saw Kagura coming in their direction. She was on her feather. The two stopped flying so did Kagura.

"Move both of you. I am going East.

Sesshomaru looked to Sango.

"The one with the wind witch smells like the miko. Is he familiar to you?" Sesshomaru asked. Sango looked at Kagura.

Kilala flew to the side a little bit. Sango saw his face.

"S-Souta," Sango said with a gasp. Souta looked up.

"Sango? Where's Kagome? Why are you with Lord Sesshomaru?" Souta asked.

"It's a long story but Kagome isn't in the East. She's in the West." Sango paused.

Sango looked at Kagura. "Let him go!" Sango yelled as she got ready to throw Hiraikotsu.

"Sango stop! Let us come with you! Me and Kagura were both running from Naraku please!" Souta said. Sango looked to Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru nodded at Souta.

So this was the male the miko had spoke of?

Both Sango and Sesshomaru landed on the ground. Kagura and Souta followed. Kagura's feather shrunk back down as she placed it back in her hair. Kilala got Back in her smaller form. She hopped on Sango's shoulder.

Sango hugged Souta. "Kagome will be so happy to see you." She said. Souta smiled.

Sesshomaru stepped forward. "Allow me to melt the chains away." He said. Souta nodded. The chains were created by Naraku. To seal away Souta's power as long as he was bound by them.

Sesshomaru melted away Souta's chains. Not one drop of acid harmed Souta.

They started walking towards the West.


They had been walking for an hour when they were surrounded by thirty ogre demon bandits.

Sesshomaru, Souta, Sango, and Kagura all had their backs to each other. They were willing to fight together.

"Be prepared to die." The leader of the ogre bandits said.

Sesshomaru and Souta both smirked. Sesshomaru ran at an ogre. The others followed suit.

Souta and Sango we're fighting beside each other, Kilala was still on Sango's shoulder. She knew Sango could handle this.

Souta formed his spiritual energy in his hands. He shocked one ogre after the other. They were purified at one touch.

Souta faced another ogre demon. Souta straightened out his hand and a blade of spiritual energy formed like a knife. It extended four inches passed the tip of his fingers.

Sango swung Hiraikotsu but didn't throw it. It cut the closest ogre demon in half at the waist. Her grip was still tight on Hiraikotsu.

Souta spun on his toe. He gained momentum as he cut the ogre in it's chest. It was deep enough to kill it.

Sesshomaru was using his acid whip. He didn't think that the ogre demons were worth being on the other end of his blade. They were slaughtered easily.

Kagura was fighting those around her.

"Dance of the dead!" Kagura yelled as she swung her fan. The ogres that were dead rose from the ground. Their bodies being controlled by Kagura. Kagura made the dead fight their own kind.

Soon after they all stood with the ogres dead at their feet. They started walking towards the west. Not one had a scratch on them.


Inutaisho was walking down the hall in his castle. He was heading towards the healers. He was done training Kohaku for the day. He knew the boy was a servant. But since his family was killed Inutaisho figured he could train the boy.

Inuyasha ran down the hall to catch up with his father. Inutaisho stopped when he sensed Inuyasha behind him.

"Father is the Eastern princess really here?" Inuyasha asked. Inutaisho nodded.

"Go to my study. We'll speak more there. I must speak to her." Inutaisho said.

"Yeah." Inuyasha said as he walked off.

Inutaisho walked to the healers. He knocked on the door then stepped foot in the room. He looked at the servants around him. He then nodded towards the door. They bowed and left the room. Inutaisho looked at Kagome. She was laying down while looking at him.

He walked over to the chair beside her bed. He sat. She tried to set up.

"There's no need." Inutaisho said. Kagome nodded as she laid back down.

"I can't hide you here forever." Inutaisho said.

Kagome nodded as her head was against the pillow.

"But I will train you to defend yourself against your father. But the battle is your own. Also, you are Midoriko's reincarnation are you not?" Inutaisho asked.

Kagome looked at him with widened eyes. "How did you know?" She asked him.

Inutaisho smiled. "I fought by her side in a battle a century and a half ago. I knew someone in the Eastern family was her reincarnation. But you have her personality. I knew it was you when I first met you." Inutaisho paused.

"You will be able to control your power soon enough. I have two holy humans that live in the castle. You will train with both. When your fully healed " Inutaisho said. Kagome smiled. But then her smile faded.

"What about my curse?" Kagome asked.

Inutaisho stood. He reached for her left wrist. He had it in his hand. He was gentle as he looked at it.

"I will have to try to drain out as much acid that I can after every session. But it is only if you are willing to train with your power." He said. Kagome nodded.

"I would like to see my mother first." Kagome said. Inutaisho nodded.
