Chapter 5

The demons swooped down with so much speed that Sesshomaru was even shocked, but only for a minute.

"Wind Tunnel" Miroku yelled as he opened the void the sucked in anything with in reach into where those objects were destroyed never to be seen again.

"Miroku what are you thinking if you suck in those poison insects you could be killed." Sango yelled as she watched in utter terror when the poison insects flew into the wind tunnel.

"Don't worry Sango, I take a bit more and when I do you and your boomerang bone should be able to handle the rest of these pesky demons." Miroku said as he tried to give her a pained smile in order to offer her a little reassurance.

"Don't worry Sango I have some antidote that I can give her as soon as all the demons are taken care of." Kagome said just as Miroku was forced to cover the wind tunnel for the poison was starting to affect him. When Sango saw that Miroku had covered up his wind tunnel she threw the boomerang bone with all the might she could possibly muster. With the first toss the boomerang bone was able to take out maybe ten demons and when it got back to Sango Kagome released an arrow the instantly disintegrated fourteen demons. She readied another arrow as once again Sango threw the boomerang bone with more might than any one had seen it surprised every one even the transformed Kirara.

Sango released the boomerang bone, Kagome shot an arrow. Those poor demons never stood a chance. Well at least that was the thought that passed through the minds of the companions of the two battling women. It should have been an easily won battle if Kagura would have stayed out of it to allow the demons to fight it out.

"Dance of the Dragon!" Kagura yelled as she blasted the two women with her powerful wind. Luckily for Kagome and Sango they were only rendered unconscious with a few cuts and bruises. Demons swarmed over to finish the helpless women.

"Foxfire" Shippo yelled when he saw that Kagome and Sango were in trouble. Sango and Kagome where so special to him, the only family he had left if you didn't count Miroku, who could forget about him the minute a beautiful woman walked by, and then there was Inu Yasha who was intolerant and outright abusive to him after all he is only a little guy. He would defend Kagome and Sango with his last breath if he had to, it was time for him to be brave like is dad had been before the thunder brothers killed him. Unfortunately for fury little friend Shippo his foxfire did little else other than stun the demons and through them off course.

"Wind Scar" Inu Yasha's voice rang out as Sesshomaru used the Tetsusaiga to finish off the last of the demons with one sweep, but as always Kagura avoids the wind scar and starts to flee.

"Stop right there Kagura." Sesshomaru's voice rang out as Inu Yasha used Sesshomaru's amazing strength to jump and attack the nervous incarnation. Inu Yasha as he neared Kagura felt a warm sensation in is right arm. He looked down and realized that he was about to use the deadly poison claw on Kagura so he drew all of his fingers together, just as Sesshomaru always seems to. 'There must be a reason for everything.' Inu Yasha thought. The poison gathered in his fingers than it filled the air around his fingers. As he neared Kagura he thrust his arm at full length. The poison neared her then came in contact with the cloth that providing minimal cover till fingers pierced through the left side of her chest, his hand entered at an angle so that fingers remerged through the right side of her back the poison flowed through and around so that Kagura was so more. She was no truly as free as the wind; no one would ever be able to control her again.

Naraku used his power to summon Kagura's heart. When he looked at it, he saw that it no longer had a beat.

'Kagura is dead then' Naraku thought he had no idea what so ever on how any one of the group could have defeated her. Naraku knew that chances were she was not about to kill any of the group for she wanted the group to destroy Naraku, something she never would have been able to do. He had sent her as a test to see if you had found the place in which she should have placed her loyalty. If she had failed the test Naraku would have added her to his body once again for he truly had no need of an incarnation that didn't know its place but the fact that either Inu Yasha, Sesshomaru, Kikyo or the reincarnation of Kikyo Kagome killed Kagura. No one else could have managed he would not allow them to get away with it.

He realized that Kikyo could not have killed Kagura she was to far away but she was still a threat that must me dealt with. If Kikyo was killed it would make it easier to kill all the others due to events that could be put in place. It would however be smarter to attack the weakest of the group now traveling together for that would rip at their hearts.

Which plan would work? For once in his existence Naraku didn't have a plan that he found fool proof. That really bothered him; he needed to make a decision. So he then decided he knew what had to be done next. It would actually kill two birds with one rock. He was going to kill them all then dance in their blood while reeked havoc upon all his enemies and well a few innocent bystanders just to make life interesting. Every thing always worked out in the end, for him at least. The world was to be his to do with what ever he willed.

"Ryuo come here I have a very important job for you to do and you are going to take Kohaku with you." Naraku said as his plan laid out in front of him.
