XOXOXO

Kiyoraka was in his room asleep when all of a sudden he was awakened by a strong gust of wind. He looked around and saw that it was Kagura who had awakened him from his pleasant slumber.

"Kagura, what do you want?" Kiyoraka asked confused sitting up in his bed.

"Naraku sent me to tell you that he needs you to meet him at Komori's old house now Akuen." Kagura said with a smirk.

"I'm surprised he didn't send his precious Kanna to tell me he needed to see me." Akuen said with annoyance and a hint of jealousy in his voice. He got up out of bed went into the bathroom changed into his princely attire and walked back out into his bedroom and toward the door. "Come on Kagura let's go."

"I'm not going Naraku wants me to stay here." Kagura said half telling him the truth.

Akuen stared at her suspiciously for a minute then he shrugged his shoulders and said. "Well see you around!"

He left.

Kagura making sure the cost was clear went over to the bookcase in Kiyoraka's room and she pulled a red book slightly and a secret door revealed itself in the wall beside Kagura. Kagura smirked and said. "Kohaku come on and bring Rin and Ayame with you."

Kohaku walked into the room with a tied up and gagged Rin and Ayame. He dragged a squirming and screaming Ayame since she was too heavy for him to carry, and he carried a squirming and crying Rin over his shoulder like a sack. He turned to Kagura and said in a monotone. "What is the point of this Kagura, kidnapping a little girl and a feisty red haired wolf demon, and taking them down here to the old part of the castle?"

Kagura shrugged and said. "How should I know he doesn't tell me anything you'd be better off asking Kanna? I mean he tells her everything. Come on Kohaku we got a job to do for that bastard." Kagura said angrily as she and Kohaku went down the steps and disappeared into the darkness along with Rin and Ayame. The secret passage closing behind them as they went deeper into the dark abyss.

Outside the door…

"Alright ladies this is it this is Kiyoraka's room?" Inuyasha said stating the obvious.

"Well Inuyasha you'd think we know since all of us have been in his room before." Sango said sarcastically rolling her eyes.

"You just like to bring me down with sarcasm don't you?" Inuyasha asked in a deadpan voice.

"Yep and it's fun too." Sango said with a gleeful smile on her face.

"You're evil Sango, but back to the subject at hand Kikyo you said you found a secret room in Kiyoraka's room correct." Inuyasha said turning to Kikyo.

"Yes, and I'm afraid I no longer know how to access the entrance to the room it was by pure chance that I found it the first time, but I do know that you have to pull a book in his bookcase to be capable of entering this room?" Kikyo said no emotion in her voice as she stared ahead.

"Well we'll go in and pull books at random until the entrance reveals itself." Sango said with a shrug as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Now you're thinking like a true warrior." Inuyasha said about to march into the room when Kikyo stopped him.

"In case you forgot its midnight and the guy is probably asleep, so quietly go into the room before trying to do anything." Kikyo said still with no emotion in her voice.

"Well Sango I say you go in first to see if he's awake." Inuyasha said as he pushed a reluctant Sango toward the wooden door.

"What! Why me!" Sango asked Inuyasha confused.

"He…likes you a lot, and he won't say anything if you go into his room." Inuyasha said putting emphasis on the word likes, and Kikyo noticed this.

"Okay I'll let you know if he's in there or not." Sango said sneaking into Kiyoraka's room with the stealth of a demon exterminator.

Kikyo turned to Inuyasha with a smirk on her face and asked. "Do you love that girl Inuyasha?"

"Who Sango...No way we're just friends and nothing more okay." Inuyasha said avoiding eye contact with a blush on his face.

"You know you're a horrible liar Inuyasha, and I know you like the back of my hand you love Sango and don't deny it trust me you'll always end up hurt in the end if you do it." Kikyo said with a knowing smirk on her face.

Inuyasha said nothing as Sango walked out of the door and said. "You guys come on he's not even in his room and I see the bookcase you were talking about Kikyo."

Kikyo and Inuyasha walked into the room after Sango.

Inside Kiyoraka's Room…

"Okay so let's start pulling books at random people; there is a book in here and it's our ticket to finding out the truth about Kiyoraka if that is his real name?" Inuyasha said beginning to pull books off of the bookcase.

Kikyo and Sango following suit.

Five minutes later…

Kikyo was doing her part of pulling the books off the shelf as well, but she did it in a refined and dignified manner. That was the way she was taught to do all things, it was part of the strict training she went through to become something she didn't want to become a priestess. Sango and Inuyasha were pulling books at random with the patience of a warrior; which they rightfully were. Kikyo supposed it was because they had a reason to find out the truth. She really didn't though she just wanted to see if he was in cahoots with Naraku, and if so she would kill him when the time was right just as she planned to kill Naraku. She came across a green book with the name Sango written on it. Curious she opened it up, but quickly shut it with a rare an uncommon blush appearing on her face. She turned to a frustrated Inuyasha who was beside her said. "Inuyasha I believe you should have a look at this."

Inuyasha curious stopped his snatching of books to take the green book from Kikyo's hand and he opened it when he saw what was inside he blushed for a little while at what he was seeing and then he suddenly turned angry and he yelled. "That sick bastard! I'll kill him when I see him!"

Inside the book was pictures of Sango. Some were of her as a kid, some were of her battling, and some were of her in her rarely happy mood but the one that made him blush and the one that made him angry and want to kill Kiyoraka was the picture of an obvious Sango coming out of a hot spring naked. How Kiyoraka managed to sneak up on Sango and get this picture he couldn't figure out, but he knew for sure Sango didn't want that picture taken.

"You should tell her what you found Inuyasha that would be wise." Kikyo said an angry expression on her face the nerve of men to do such a thing. She wasn't saying all men were perverts, but this guy was rather he was created by Naraku or not.

"I found the book guys and the passage come on!" Sango said happily running down the steps with a bounce in her step disappearing in the darkness.

Kikyo followed after her letting the subject drop she knew Inuyasha would do the right thing. He may have hidden behind a tough guy façade, but he was a sweet guy at heart.

Inuyasha watched Kikyo disappear into the darkness after Sango. He picked up the book as he went after the girls.

I will tell her Kikyo. Right now.

He went after them the passage closing behind them much like it did Kagura, Kohaku, Rin, and Ayame.

With Kiyoraka…

Kiyoraka walked into the small house and he saw Naraku sitting in a chair talking to Kanna who was beside him emotionless as ever. Naraku had yet to notice his appearance surprisingly. He stood as he listened to the conversation.

"So, Kanna tell me do you think I'm too evil?" Naraku asked with a smirk on his face as he awaited his first incarnations answer.

"Master Naraku it is not my place to speak against you." Kanna said looking up at him with dull listless eyes.

Naraku sighed and he patted Kanna's head and smirked. "You know Kanna you're my favorite and by far the best incarnation I created, but sometimes I wish you weren't emotionless."

"Sorry, to disappoint you Master Naraku." Kanna said quietly as she continued to look at him unfazed.

"No, it's just that it gets boring with you not talking and all." Naraku said with a shrug then he looked at Kanna and for second he thought he saw a flicker of emotion on her face, but he dismissed it as his imagination. "Look Kanna you didn't disappointment me okay."

God when did I become so nice I'm turning into that idiot Sesshomaru softening my heart out for a little girl…well a little girl incarnation in this case.

She nodded her head and continued to be emotionless.

"Aww how sweet." Kiyoraka mocked with a smirk on his face as Naraku turned around. If Naraku was embarrassed he didn't show it.

"Akuen how long have you been here?" Naraku asked casually as he played with a strand of his curly obsidian tresses.

"Long enough to see the little episode who'd have thought you could have a conversation not concerning something evil." Akuen said with a smirk as he saw Naraku cringe only slightly.

"You are to tell no one what you saw." Naraku said in a cold and malicious voice and then he smiled that smile that would make a chill run up your spine and said. "Because if you do I'll reabsorb you."

Akuen nodded his head at the smirking man that he hated so much and said. "Kagura said you wanted to see me Naraku."

"Ahh, yes I want to see your report book." Naraku asked turning toward him an ever present smirk on his face.

Akuen took the book from his pocket and threw the book to Naraku he caught it with ease. "Its all yours Naraku."

Naraku opened the book and nodded his head at every correct thing in the book, but that stopped and he turned to Akuen and said angrily. "I asked you to do one simple task and that was to get information on my targets I wanted to destroy. I told you not to worry about Kikyo because I know all I need to know about her. Now I see Inuyasha, Sango, and hell I even see Koga, but you know who I don't see…." Naraku asked dangerously low.

"W-who?" Akuen asked getting afraid now he got everyone he said to get in that book. Then realization donned upon him.

Oh damn except for…

"SESSHOMARU?" Naraku angrily yelled finishing his thoughts for him he continued. "I don't see Sesshomaru in here at all what happened.

"I never ran into him Master on my short journey with Inuyasha." Akuen said still frightened.

"Well Akuen you still have tonight and part of tomorrow to get my information because tomorrow night at your big party my plan goes into action. All you little incarnations have to do is play your roles right. Now go and don't come back without my information!" Naraku said angrily, but he controlled himself.

Akuen left to go look for Sesshomaru.

Naraku turned to Kanna and said. "I take it back Kanna. I'm glad you're emotionless and a little girl because those ungrateful bastards Kagura and Akuen have no respect for me whatsoever."

"What about Kohaku and that other incarnation you created?" Kanna asked looking up at him as he stood up from out the chair and walked over to the window.

"Kohaku I never worry about he's under my control and Akufu I needn't worry she's just as wicked and twisted as I am if not more. She is enthused about my plan." Naraku said with a smirk he turned to Kanna and said. "Tomorrow I set my plan to action."

Secret room: Kagura, Kohaku, Rin, and Ayame…

Kohaku threw Rin and Ayame on the dusty ground and turned to Kagura.

"Kagura what are we to do now?" Kohaku asked Kagura in a monotonous voice.

"We have visitors coming Kohaku." Kagura said with a smirk as she looked over to Ayame and Rin. "It's Inuyasha, Sango, and Kikyo.

Ayame and Rin's faces lit up at the chance of help.

"Don't get too happy girls I'll kill them shortly it'll only take a minute or two." Kagura said smirking all of the way.

Ayame said something but it was muffled by the gag.

"Untie their gags Kohaku." Kagura demanded as Kohaku did what he was told. "Now what did you say Ayame?"

"I said you can't kill them they're too powerful." Ayame said with a glare toward Kagura.

Kagura smirked at Ayame and squatted down low on her knees so that she was eye level with Ayame and said. "Heh it'd be wise not to talk back to me girl ask your fiancé Koga. I ripped his skin apart piece by piece, but sadly Inuyasha came and saved him for reasons beyond my knowledge. I mean I always thought he hated him, but hey Inuyasha is a great specimen to study. Anyway I cut his legs and I got the jewel shards from him and I was about to give them to Sess…it doesn't matter who I was about to give them to, but Koga got them back in the end regardless. My point being girl you shouldn't underestimate me because I can kill you in the blink of an eye."

"You're an evil bitch Kagura you know that." Ayame said glaring into the red eyes of Kagura.

Kagura stood up and she looked away from her and said quietly. "It's not by choice but rather by…force."

Ayame looked at her with sympathy for only a second before she snapped out of it and reminded herself that Kagura was evil. She turned to the little girl beside her when she heard her yelling.

"Kohaku why are you doing this let us go!" Rin pleaded with him tears in her eyes.

"I'm afraid child that this Kohaku isn't the one you got to know, but rather the one I know." Kagura said an evil chuckle producing itself deep in her throat.

Rin ignored her and continued to try and get Kohaku to snap out of the trance Naraku put him under. "I know this isn't really you Kohaku. This isn't the sweet boy I talked to in that hut and I shared my melon with. Snap out of it Kohaku don't you remember me…Rin!" Rin was getting desperate now and she started to cry and she said in a weaker voice. "Please snap out of it Kohaku."

Kohaku shook his head as he looked at Rin struggling with his words. "Rin…what…are…you…doing…here? Get…away…now?"

"Its really you I'm so glad help us get out of this!" Rin said with a happy smile on her face.

Kohaku's back glowed a faint pink and his eyes went back to being blank and he turned to Kagura.

"Are you back to normal Kohaku!" Kagura asked him quietly.

"Yes, Kagura I am." Kohaku said in a monotone once again the blank look in his eyes.

"Good, let's go we're going to go fight a half-demon, demon exterminator, and dead priestess in two minutes flat I guarantee it." Kagura said with a smirk on her face leaving the room.

Kohaku followed her, but he couldn't help but look back at the crying ebony haired girl.

That girl seems so familiar much like that woman I constantly see in my mind (Sango).

Kohaku shook his head as if clearing the thoughts from his mind and followed Kagura down the dark dank hall.

Sesshomaru…

The white haired demon lord was going at a very swift pace through the dark forest, and he was doing it all for a little girl that he brought back to life. While running through the forest he was thinking about what he was doing.

Why am I doing this going to rescue a little girl, and a human girl at that? I mean I'm supposed to hate humans yet here I am going to rescue one, and I brought her back to life for reasons even I can't comprehend. I don't know I guess I did it out of dare I say it…gratitude! No, it can't be I've never thanked a demon, and here I thank a human girl that tried to save me with human food. I know why I'm doing this it's because I care for the constantly talking little girl.

Sesshomaru stopped to look around and he said. "Show yourself demon."

Kagura came from the bushes with a smirk on her face and said. "Well hello Lord Sesshomaru I want you to help me destroy Naraku I tried myself but I was over powered."

Sesshomaru smirked and said. "You're not Kagura who are you."

The fake Kagura sighed and then she was covered in a black fog and then it turned into a male demon he pouted in a Jakotsu like manner and asked. "How did you see through my disguise?"

"Kagura never calls me Lord Sesshomaru and she would never try and fight Naraku on her own that's what she wants me too do, and Kagura would never hide from me in some bushes." Sesshomaru said with a look toward the demon and asked. "Who are you you're obviously an incarnate of Naraku what is you're name?"

"Well Sesshomaru I am Akuen and I have the power to shape shift into any form that I please." Akuen said with a smirk as he drew a sword from the hilt on his side. "Draw your weapon and fight me."

Sesshomaru stared at him with his eyes glowing red and he said. "I have no time for this I have things to do."

He then ran but he was surprised to find a clone of himself in front of him before it changed back into Akuen.

"You need not worry Rin is in safe hands with Kagura…" Akuen said he saw Sesshomaru reach for Tokijin at his side. "Oh and Kohaku too."

"Let's fight it won't take me long to finish you off." Sesshomaru said with a smirk.

Akuen smirked as well as they ran toward each other swords raised.

Two minutes later…

Sesshomaru sheathed Tokijin and looked down at the bloody and dead Akuen and smirked.

I said it wouldn't take me long.

He took off in a sprint toward Tsuyoi Kingdom.

The thought to be dead Akuen rose up off of the ground smirking as he wrote down something in his report book, and his cuts were healed instantly. "I guess I forgot to tell Sesshomaru I can regenerate."

He headed back to Tsuyoi Kingdom and to give Naraku his information.

Secret room: Sango, Inuyasha, and Kikyo…

"Sango I have something to show you." Inuyasha said while rubbing his arm nervously handing her the green book.

"Oh what's this I…OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WHO TOOK THIS PICTURE!" Sango asked turning an angry shade of red.

"Kiyoraka took it I found on his bookcase. I'm sorry Sango." Kikyo said with a sad look in her eyes.

"No, need to be sorry Kikyo because when I see that perverted bastard I'm going to make sure he can never have kids." Sango said cracking her knuckles with a smirk on her face.

"Come on guys let's explore this place further." Inuyasha said with a smirk on his face picturing Sango beating the shit out of Kiyoraka.

"I'm afraid I can't allow that." Kagura said with a smirk sitting on an old pipe; Kohaku standing next to her.

"Kohaku…" Sango barely above a whisper as she stared at him with a pained expression on her face.

Kohaku simply stared at her emotionlessly.

"Why the hell can't we go any farther than this!" Inuyasha asked angrily and suspiciously.

"Orders from Naraku and I don't know why he's doing this he doesn't tell me anything the bastard doesn't trust me." Kagura said with a smirk as she shrugged her shoulders. "I don't care I'll be free someday from that sick bastard." Kagura looked at the three people she disliked so much yet she could never bring herself to hate them. They were strong, brave, and fearless but most of all they were free. She could never hate them because they too were tricked by Naraku and in someway hate him just as much as she does. Kikyo for being deceived, Inuyasha for much of the same reasons as Kikyo, but he was also in it for revenge and the jewel shards, and Sango for the mass slaughtering of her comrades and family, and the only one that survived besides her was under his control. She barely dodged the arrow Kikyo shot at her. She glared at the dead priestess and said. "You should watch where you're shooting those Kikyo you could have shot me."

"It was for you and the next one won't miss." Kikyo warned with a glare.

"Heh you won't be shooting another arrow I'm afraid." Kagura said with a smirk directed at Kikyo. She turned to Kohaku and nodded, and he moved with such swiftness that no one registered it until it was too late.

Kohaku had gotten behind Kikyo and took both of her arms and held them behind her back he took out a rope and tied her hands together. He took his sickle-like weapon and put it to her neck.

"Kikyo hold on I'm coming!" Inuyasha yelled running toward her, but Kagura was two steps ahead of him as she threw some type of smoke bomb at him and when the smoked cleared a struggling and cursing Inuyasha was seen trying to move but he couldn't.

"What the hell why can't I move Kagura!" Inuyasha asked still struggling as his eyes followed Kagura as she jumped of the pipe landing with ease and grace as she walked over to Inuyasha and got in his face smirking. If Inuyasha didn't hate the wind sorceress so much he would have blushed, but like I said this wasn't the case and instead he felt like ripping her to shreds with his claws if he could only move.

"You like it? It's a paralyzing bomb I had Kohaku make it for me just for you. You won't be moving for quite awhile I'm afraid." Kagura said with a sick smirk as she got out of his face.

"Look Kagura if you're going to kill me and Kikyo leave her alone and kill me instead." Inuyasha said as he looked in front of him at Kikyo who was still looking strong and unfazed. Inuyasha couldn't help but smirk at that.

Strong 'til the end huh Kikyo just like you've always been.

"I'm afraid Inuyasha I want neither you nor Kikyo, but the one you neglected to mention in your little heroism speech…Sango." Kagura said with a smirk as she walked over to overwhelmed and dazed Sango and raised her fan over Sango's head when……………..

Kagome…

It was very late at night and Kagome could be found tossing and turning from a nightmare and suddenly she woke up in a cold sweat. She looked around in a crazed manner then she got out of bed in a hurry waking a sleepy Shippo who she told to go back to sleep, and left the room and headed straight for Inuyasha's and sure enough just like in her nightmare Inuyasha wasn't in his room so she did the only thing she could do…SHE SCREAMED! This woke up everyone on the entire hall and that included: Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, Sukida, Enjeru, and finally a very pissed off Saseko.

"What's wrong Kagome are you alright!" Miroku asked the hysterical girl as she continued to scream, and realizing she wouldn't stop he slapped her causing her to calm down. "Now Kagome tell me-us what's wrong."

"Inuyasha isn't in his room he's gone, and I bet you Sango and Kiyoraka are gone too. I just didn't check there rooms." Kagome said voice shaky as Enjeru checked Sango's room and Sukida checked Kiyoraka's room.

"Oh my goodness she's right and it looks like someone's broken into Kiyoraka's room there's books everywhere!" Sukida said as everyone joined her in looking around the room.

Saseko looked suspicious as she observed the room silently, and she nodded her head.

Looks like I'm going to have to go for a visit.

"Uhm guys I have to go, and don't worry you're friends are going to be okay." Saseko said as she headed for the exit of the castle.

"How do you know Saseko?" Kagome asked the woman suspiciously.

"Trust me…" Saseko said as she walked out the door and closed it and then she smirked and said to herself. "I know more than you think."

She walked away with a smirk that looked so familiar on her face.

Secret room…

……………A barrier surrounded Sango just as the blades of wind were about to end her life. The attack was absorbed into the barrier before diminishing. The one who created the barrier was none other than Kanna. Sango had snapped out of her shock when the barrier had surrounded her and now she was looking around alarmed, and she saw the Inuyasha and Kikyo, Inuyasha could move most of his body, but his legs were still paralyzed, and Kikyo no longer had the blade placed to her neck by Kohaku, because he went to go stand next to Kanna when she entered the room. Sango asked them. "Are you guys alright!"

Inuyasha turned his head toward Sango with an annoyed scowl on his face and said with a voice full of sarcasm. "Oh yeah Sango we're just fine. I'm paralyzed from the waist down, and Kikyo get's a blade put to her neck all of the time. Of course we're not fine!"

"You don't have to yell damnit I just asked were you guys alright!" Sango said with an angry scowl on her face as she walked over to Kikyo and untied the rope on her wrist and said with her head down. "I'm sorry about this Kikyo, really I am."

Kikyo turned around and placed a cold hand on her shoulder, and this caused Sango to look up and she found something she thought she'd never see on Kikyo's face a smile of understanding, and Kikyo said. "It's alright Sango I know your brother is not himself, but is under the control of Naraku, and you needn't worry about him Sango because he'll be free someday."

"Thanks I really needed that." Sango said returning the smile half heartedly.

Inuyasha was no longer paralyzed and his first order of business was to kill Kagura for causing his temporary paralysis. He ran toward the now scared Kagura with Tetsaiga raised, and just as he was about to release the windscar Kanna put up a barrier around her causing Inuyasha to halt his attack. Kagura took this opportunity to run over to Kanna and Kohaku. When Kanna was sure Kagura was with her and Kohaku she turned to Sango, Inuyasha, and Kikyo and said in an eerily calm voice. "You three cannot go forward so I have been ordered to stop you by master Naraku, and I will not let him down." Suddenly an eerie blue light surrounded Kanna and she surrounded raised he soul mirror toward Inuyasha and the others and they two were engulfed in the strange blue light as they disappeared.

Kagura turned to Kanna and asked. "What happened to them, and how did you learn to do that trick?"

"They are going to return to Kiyoraka's room, and will have no memory of this ever happening just as Naraku requested, but Kikyo will still think that Akuen or Kiyoraka is suspicious and tell Sango and Inuyasha they just won't know how to get to this secret room like they once did, and this is a trick Master Naraku taught me to do. Now no more questions Kagura we must take our leave.

Kagura, Kohaku, and Kanna left through a portal.

Sango, Inuyasha, & Kikyo…

Sango, Inuyasha, and Kikyo reappeared in Kiyoraka's room and they all looked confused for a second, but Kikyo smirked soon after, and Sango turned to Kikyo and asked. "You used your spirit powers to block off Kanna's spell didn't you?"

"That was a spell us priestesses use to get people and demons away from us, and it is followed by an amnesia spell, but since I knew the spell she was using I used the counter spell therefore we reappeared out here so Kanna wouldn't get suspicious, but we didn't lose our memories of what happened and all we have to do is go over to the bookcase and pull that book down." Kikyo said walking over to the bookcase and she raised her hand over a book but stopped.

"What's the matter Kikyo?" Inuyasha asked her confused.

"I don't remember which book it was…do you?" Kikyo asked them.

Sango and Inuyasha shook their heads with a huge sweat drop.

"I guess we'll have to do what we did las…" Inuyasha was cut off by the door opening and in walked Kagome with the others minus Saseko and Kiyoraka.

"Inuyasha!...Sango! There you are I sensed some jewel shards, but you two couldn't have had them so who does?" Kagome asked running up to both of them and hugging them.

"I have them…" Kikyo said from the corner of the room as all eyes turned to her minus Sango and Inuyasha.

"K-Kikyo?..." Kagome asked hiding behind Inuyasha shaking.

Komori's old house…

"Very good Akuen you may take your…" Naraku was interrupted by a blaze of fire appearing in front of him and when the fire diminished Akufu stood in front of him smirking, and as if that wasn't enough Kanna, Kohaku, and a VERY angry Kagura appeared as well. Naraku smirked at this and said. "Well if it isn't my children, come to pay your dear ol' dad a visit."

"You bastard you could have let me kill her. Why'd you have Kanna save her if you hate her so much!" Kagura asked him angrily getting huffy as she fanned herself with her fan.

"Ah Kagura still hate me I see well I have my reason's for what I did, but I won't tell them to you." Naraku said letting out an evil chuckle as Kagura stomped out of the room, with a concerned Akuen following after her. "Why did I create those two they're rebellious and they hate my guts. I could just kill them but hey there's plenty of time for that." Naraku turned to Kohaku and Kanna and said. "Leave me and Akufu we have business to attend to."

Kohaku and Kanna left silently with no protest.

"Now see why can't I have minions like that Akufu emotionless one's that follow my every command without protest. Instead I have Kagura and Akuen as minions." Naraku said as he looked at his last incarnation to stay alive.

"Ahem aren't you forgetting someone!" Akufu asked stamping her foot impatiently.

"No, dear see you don't count you're like a female me which is why I have to tell you why I saved Sango." Naraku said as Akufu went over to a chair and sat next to him.

"Well why did you?" Akufu asked angry at the fact that he let Sango live the very woman that she hated so much.

Naraku explained his actions to Akufu.

Kagura and Akuen…

Kagura and Akuen were soaring through the air on Kagura's cloud having a talk.

"Look Kagura you can't let that bastard get to you like this!" Akuen said in a stern voice as he saw Kagura turn to look back at him with angry red eyes.

"What do you care, and why did you get on I didn't want any company." Kagura asked him glaring.

"You know Kagura I care about you okay we both hate that bastard Naraku and you shouldn't want to be alone all of the time it's not healthy!" Akuen said getting fed up with Kagura's bitchy attitude.

Kagura sighed and smiled as sad smile as tears ran from her eyes and she hugged Akuen tightly and he returned her hug just as tightly. Kagura then said. "You really are the only one that cares for me, and I thank you for that really but why I know you care, but there has to be another reason tell me."

"Kagura you don't take too lightly to kindness do you?" Akuen asked her with a smirk.

Kagura looked up at him and gave another sad smile as an image of Sesshomaru appeared in her mind and she said. "No, I suppose not I've been hurt by the one man I really loved."

"Oh and who would this man be…Inuyasha perhaps!" Akuen asked her with a taunting smile on his face.

"Ugh no don't even play like that Inuyasha's an idiot a pure idiot if I've ever seen one…and you don't need to know who that man was that I loved."

"You said was so is he must be dead now correct!" Akuen asked Kagura.

"You could say that he is to me as far as I'm concerned." Kagura said coldly as she glared at the invisible Sesshomaru.

"Kagura you have to learn to let go of the past and look forward to the future…who knows you may have some that really cares about you maybe even…love you." Akuen said with a smile as Kagura turned back around and turned the feather back toward Tsuyoi Kingdom.

"You maybe right Akuen, but as for now I can spend time now finding ways to be free and destroy Naraku and you can help Akuen." Kagura said with a real smile on her face.

"Yeah I'll help you Kagura." Akuen said with a smile on his face. "Oh and Kagura?"

"Yeah?" Kagura asked in a good mood.

"Could you drop me off a little ways away from the castle!" Akuen asked nervously; afraid Kagura would snap on him.

"No, problem Akuen we'll be there in a flash!" Kagura said with a bright smile her good mood could not be broken.

Akuen just looked at her with a smile on his face glad that his friend was okay and no longer angry, but actually happy for the first time in her life.

Kiyoraka's room…

Kagome was still quivering behind Inuyasha, and looking at Kikyo with contempt. Kikyo saw this and smirked.

"Are you afraid of me girl…there's no need I won't harm you." Kikyo said with a smirk as she watched Kagome come from behind Inuyasha now angry at being ridiculed.

"What are you doing here anyway coming to try and kill Inuyasha again?…" Kagome asked angrily.

Inuyasha's fist clenched.

"Coming to suck up some more souls you dead dried up clay pot?..." Kagome continued her list angrily.

Inuyasha bared his fangs and began to growl and Sango who was beside him heard this and tried to warn her friend. "Kagome I think you should stop I mean really stop."

Kagome didn't listen and she continued. "Or are you here to steal the jewel shards and give them to Naraku since you already work for him."

That was it Inuyasha leapt at Kagome in a blind rage and he was about to attack Kagome when Sango tackled him to the ground and jumped on top of him and veered him off course. She now sat on top of a crazy Inuyasha. She observed him closer now and he looked like he was going into his demon mode but his face was still the same, but his eyes were red with blood red anger. Sango decided it was time to snap him out of it, and she said in a calm and sweet voice. "Inuyasha listen you have to calm down. I know you're angry, but killing the answer in this situation."

Inuyasha looked up at Sango and glared at her and said. "You woman let me go now…must kill that girl."

"Woman?...You mean you don't remember me I'm Sango!" Sango said getting desperate she wanted her old friend back.

"You are beginning to anger me woman you must die…" Inuyasha yelled angrily as he raised his clawed hand up toward Sango's heart but she saw it coming and using her hidden dagger to block his attack. Inuyasha smirked at this. "You're good woman."

Sango smirked as well and said. "So are you."

"Though I must say you're still very weak, but you women usually are." Inuyasha finished with a taunting smirk.

Sango's eye twitched and she yelled and said. "You son of a bitch! You're demon Inuyasha aren't you!"

Demon Inuyasha smirked and said. "Very perceptive of you Sango. I've always wanted to fight you in demon mode so let's go!"

"Oh gee I would but you're going to be out for quite awhile so…" Sango swung her fist at Inuyasha wanting to hit him on the head so that he would fall unconscious, but he caught it. "You're really beginning to piss me off."

"Good fight me then no weapons hand to hand combat you are good at that right?" Demon Inuyasha taunted Sango as he got into a fighting stance.

Sango sighed and got into her own stance and said. "Fine I'll fight you if it'll make you feel any better."

Inuyasha's claws glowed.

"No demon attacks I saw that." Sango said with a suspicious glare on her face.

"Damn!" Demon Inuyasha mumbled under his breath as they ran toward each other ready to fight with the others watching in anticipation and fright.

Sango could only think: To think this all started because of Kagome.
