Naraku and Kanna were soaring through the air on a cloud of miasma toward a cave in the deepest part of a forest near Tsuyoi Kingdom. They had some business to attend to before they made their big entrance at the party. He looked to his side at Kanna who was staring straight ahead he smirked at her and patted her head oh how he loved that incarnation. She then turned to him and said. "Master Naraku we will reach our destination in five minutes."

Naraku smirked and said. "Very well Kanna prepare the mirror and the souls for our friend."

"Very well Master Naraku but I must ask what will we do with their bodies. They are after all useless and will be permanently useless when they are used as sacrifices to awaken Yokunen?"

"They shall be put with others to be devoured by Yokunen." Naraku simply answered as his cloud of miasma descended onto the ground below disappearing as he and Kanna stood in front of a dimly lit cave with a barrier over the mouth to conceal the demon inside. Naraku walked to the mouth of the cave and said. "Yokunen, the demon granter of wishes and the devourer of souls and flesh of both humans and demons, show yourself to me."

A loud roar was heard from the cave and then a face appeared. The demon's face was red and he had black eyes that seemed to be filled with darkness. He had long sharp fangs and jagged pointy teeth. He had no nose and black horns that came over his head forming a "U" shape. Naraku couldn't fully see his body but he knew he was huge. The demon then opened his mouth and a deep gravely voice asked. "Who is it that dare summon me and awaken me from my slumber?"

"I am Naraku and I came here to free you from this imprisonment you have been forced to live in for 500 years. I have brought you two souls from the village that has done this to you as a…gift you could say they are the acting king and queen of the kingdom, Kachiki and Saseko." Naraku said calmly as he motioned for Kanna to come closer with her mirror.

The demon seemed interested now and asked. "I suppose Naraku that you want a wish out of this perhaps and how can I be so sure that I can trust you and you can free me from my imprisonment and where are the two souls you promised me I am famished from not eating for so many years?"

Naraku smirked and said calmly. "Kanna show him I do not play and I keep my word."

Kanna pulled some sutras from inside her white kimono and chanted a few words the sutras glowed a bright white and she then threw them on the barrier and the barrier soon vanished. She then raised her mirror and closed her eyes and two bluish white orbs came out of the mirror and stayed suspended in mid air.

Yokunen stepped out of the cave and looked at the souls with hunger in his eyes he then opened his mouth and ate the souls in a matter of seconds he then turned to stare at Kanna in amazement and asked Naraku. "How can she hold those sacred sutras I thought only holy humans like monks, priests, and priestesses could hold those? What is she Naraku!"

Naraku smirked and said. "She's nothingness or void if you will and she's my incarnation and the reason why she can carry sutras is because she neither human nor demon nor is she evil or good." He then turned to Yokunen and observed him fully. He was red all over and he wore a brown loincloth around his waist with no shirt. He had long black hair and was no taller if not a little bit shorter than Naraku himself. He then said confused. "I would have thought you were a lot taller and bigger."

"This is not my true form I have weakened over the years from the barrier and the inability to receive the need sustenance I required for 500 years." Yokunen answered his question for him.

Naraku nodded and asked. "So Yokunen will you join me and together we can both get what we want; I get my wish and you can get revenge on Tsuyoi Kingdom in the form of a meal that you so desperately need and deserve."

Yokunen studied him for a second and then he said with a smirk. "Alright Naraku you got a deal I'll work with you although I must warn you I can only grant wishes at midnight."

Naraku thought for a minute and then said. "Very well be at Tsuyoi Kingdom at midnight your meal will be waiting." Naraku then summoned his cloud of miasma and he and Kanna flew into the distance until they were high in the sky and heading for Tsuyoi Kingdom.

"Master Naraku may I ask a question?" Kanna asked quietly as she looked at him.

Naraku nodded.

"What do you plan to do with Yokunen when he has served his purpose and no longer of use to you?" Kanna asked him no longer looking at him but straight ahead once again.

Naraku smirked and said. "I don't quite know but it will be gruesome."

Naraku laughed evilly to himself and thought. Kanna my dear I'll absorb him into my body. I can't do it now because he's not at full power but when he is I'll make him apart of my body…permanently.

Both of them flew in the air not making a sound one naturally that way and one plotting an evil scheme in his head.

XOXOXO

Meanwhile at Tsuyoi Kingdom Castle the party was underway and everyone was there well everyone but Sango, Inuyasha, and Kikyo who were god knows where. The others were having a good time what with Kiyoraka who is really Akuen going around talking to people along with his little sister, Enjeru, Saseko who is really Akufu was flirting with the men, Sukida was talking to a few random villagers about her designs and talent, and finally Kagome, Miroku, and Shippo were standing by the food table in their usual attire but they didn't look that out of place what with the poor villagers wearing their everyday clothes. Near the food table Kagome and Miroku were engaged in a conversation while Shippo was at the food table stuffing his little face.

"Miroku have you noticed how strange Sango and Inuyasha have been acting?" Kagome asked Miroku as she gazed at the large crowd of happy people.

"Yes I have Lady Kagome and I must say that I find it suspicious, and what is it with the two of them befriending Lady Kikyo all of a sudden?" Miroku said as he too gazed at the crowd of jovial people.

"Miroku you don't think they love each other do you?" Kagome asked Miroku uneasily as she turned to look at him.

"I don't know Lady Kagome but I do believe that they do, I mean look at the signs: they sneak away all of the time without us and they know things we don't know in other words their keeping secrets." Miroku said solemnly as he turned to look down at Kagome.

Kagome looked up and said angrily. "Miroku we have to stop this they cannot be together Sango belongs with you and Inuyasha to me so are you with me Miroku!"

Miroku thought about it and shook his head saying. "No Lady Kagome I am not if they love each other then we should not stand in their way because if you truly love someone you want to see them happy no matter what. So Lady Kagome don't do this."

Miroku walked off disappearing into the crowd leaving behind a seething girl.

Kagome watched him walk off angrily until she couldn't see him anymore and glared so that her eyes were tiny slits and thought. I thought you understood Miroku but it looks like I was wrong you don't. So I'll have to do it by myself they cannot be together she will not take Inuyasha away from me neither her nor that dead clay pot Kikyo! Kagome then put on a fake smile and went to go find Shippo.

Miroku…

Miroku was sitting down on a bench by a fountain in the garden he was alone and he felt that it was good for him to be that way for the first time in his life. He wasn't alone in the garden though someone had beat him their after hearing the conversation he had with Kagome, and that person decided to come sit next to him. Miroku looked up when he felt someone sit beside him and was surprised to see who it was.

"Lady Kikyo what are you doing here!" Miroku asked her shocked he thought he was all alone.

Kikyo smirked and said. "I wanted piece and quiet Miroku I believe that is your name, and I heard the conversation you and my reincarnate had."

"Oh did you now?" Miroku asked her calmly although he was terrified of her. Kikyo was the only female he did not try to hit on and it wasn't because she was dead either. It was because she was scary and for some reason that woman demanded respect.

Kikyo sensing he was afraid of her frowned and said sternly. "Monk Miroku, do not be afraid of me for I will not harm you in anyway, and I liked the way you talked to my reincarnation and it was true what you said."

Miroku seemed less tense now and he smiled and said. "Well it is true I do love Sango so much but she deserves so much better than me all I do is flirt with other women, and like I said if you truly love someone then you want them to be happy no matter what even if it means letting them go and you feel heartbroken afterwards." Miroku turned to look at the dead woman who had a sad sort of smile on her face and continued. "I have a feeling you did the same thing Kikyo with Inuyasha did you not?"

Kikyo looked up startled but then sighed and looked at the monk smiling sadly said. "You're very perceptive Miroku you caught me I did let Inuyasha go it was hard but he loves Sango and I can't stand between that."

Miroku nodded in understanding and said. "They really are much happier when they're together they understand each other you know what I mean?"

"Yeah and you know what Miroku it's nice talking to you you're a very good listener although I must ask I've heard from Sango that you are a womanizer and if that's true why haven't you tried anything on me?" Kikyo asked him mildly curious.

Miroku smiled slightly and said. "I find you more respectable Lady Kikyo than most women and therefore I do not grope you, but if you want me to this monk will gladly do it!"

Kikyo laughed slightly and it wasn't a bitter, mean, or bitchy laugh that she used quite often but a nice sweet one that Miroku found he loved and she said. "No thank you Miroku I'll pass but really what kind of a monk are you to do these sort of things, but then again I'm not one to talk I after all fell in love with a half demon and I've done many things that a priestess shouldn't do. In a way Miroku we're two of a kind."

"I guess we are Kikyo, I guess we are." Miroku said calmly with a smile on his face.

There was a comfortable silence after that until Kikyo decided to break it.

"Come Miroku I think it's time we get back to the party." Kikyo said as she stood up she wanted to be there when Naraku attacked she was so sure he was going to.

Miroku only nodded as he stood up and followed her as they left the garden and headed to the courtyard he was deep in thought. For some reason I feel differently for Kikyo than I do other women. I don't feel like I want to grope her and I get this funny feeling in my chest when I'm around her. I feel differently for her could I love Kikyo…NO THAT IS PREPOSTEROUS I DON'T LOVE HER AND THAT'S THAT!

They continued to walk in silence until they made it to the courtyard when they ran into two familiar people well demons in this case.

Sesshomaru and Koga…

Sesshomaru and Koga were walking around the party and they were receiving weird glances but they didn't care they were trying to sniff out the two people they came looking for in the first place Rin and Ayame, and besides the way they saw it if they don't mess with us we won't mess with them. Koga was sniffing around like the wolf that he was while Sesshomaru just stood there looking around for any signs of something suspicious or helpful.

After awhile Koga stopped sniffing when he couldn't pick up a scent because of the large amount of people around them and looked at Sesshomaru who was glaring at something or someone he didn't know which. He followed his eyes to where he was glaring and saw the monk that traveled with Inuyasha and…was that Kagome…no that wasn't Kagome this woman was taller, looked sterner, and her aura was different. He turned to the side to ask Sesshomaru who she was but he was already way up ahead of him. He caught up with him and pretty soon they were right in front of the two.

"Hello Koga…" Miroku greeted with a smile and then he turned to Sesshomaru who was staring at Kikyo intently and said in a quivering voice. "Hello S-S-Sesshomaru."

Koga greeted Miroku but Sesshomaru simply ignored him and continued to glare at Kikyo who glared back just as intently then Kikyo said coldly. "Hello Sesshomaru what are you doing here?"

Sesshomaru answered coldly as he kept glaring. "I'm here looking for someone you wench and I suppose you came here to kill Inuyasha because if so I will kill you because as I've told you before when we met Inuyasha is mine to kill and only mine."

Kikyo smirked and laughed bitterly and said. "Sesshomaru you fool I do not wish to end Inuyasha's life anymore, but you will not kill him because I will stop you one way or another."

It was Sesshomaru's turn to smirk as he laughed coldly and said. "Oh you do not wish to kill him anymore but you want to protect him now. You humans are so fickle you change your emotions rapidly; so be it I'll just kill you and I my idiotic brother together, but not now for you see there are too many humans and that will cause a mass pandemonium in which humans get confused and try to attack the problem in this case me, and it's not like I can't kill them or anything it's just that well I don't want to get my clothes dirty with blood and I don't feel like slaughtering a lot of humans today."

"Sesshomaru you foolish demon don't you see I'm not your enemy it's Naraku he's brought you and that wolf demon here for his sick plan and you and I can argue all day but it won't get us anywhere, so when this all blows over we can settle this animosity we seem to have for each other once and for all, but for now we focus on Naraku and only him." Kikyo said emotionlessly as she stared at Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru grunted angry at the fact that she was right and said. "Deal woman but when this is all over we will settle this once and for all."

Kikyo smirked and nodded and said. "I'm looking forward to it Sesshomaru."

Koga kept staring at the woman that had enough courage to dare talk back to Sesshomaru he wanted to know who she was, why she looked so much like Kagome, and why she smelled like graveyard soil.

Kikyo walked over to Koga and said in an emotionless voice much like Sesshomaru's. "Hello, my name is Kikyo and who are you."

Koga gulped she was definitely not Kagome and said. "My name is K-K-Koga."

Kikyo frowned when she realized he was afraid of her and said. "Why are you afraid of me Koga I will not harm you at all…unless of course you cross me?" She then said to herself so no one could hear her. "Why is it that people are afraid of me."

Sesshomaru who heard what she said with his superb hearing smirked and said. "Well it's no wonder there afraid of you it's because of your nauseating face."

Kikyo was about to respond when Koga interrupted by asking. "I hope I'm not being rude but may I ask why do you look so much like Kagome and smell of graveyard soil?"

Kikyo frowned and said in a deadly voice. "I do not look like that girl but rather she looks like me and the reason I smell like graveyard soil is because I'm dead and I'm constructed of graveyard soil and my ashes I am nothing but a living clay doll."

Koga seemed to gain an understanding and said. "Ohhh I see you're that woman that Inuyasha fell in love with fifty years ago aren't you?"

"Yes, I am Koga now let us drop the subject and go find that girl and the others." Kikyo said as she walked off.

Soon the other three men followed after her.

Kagome, Shippo, Sukida, and Saseko…

Kagome had found Shippo and walked around looking for Miroku to try and coax him into joining her and this time she wasn't going to let him escape, but she didn't find him instead she ran into Sukida and Saseko who got bored with talking to the guest and flirting with the men and they decided to walk around and just chat.

"So Kagome where's Miroku last I checked he was with you?" Sukida asked her as she smiled politely at a nearby guy that she passed on her walk that took an interest in her but she didn't feel the same way.

"I don't know he saw some girl and ran off." Kagome lied as she pretended to frown in disapproval.

"Oh and has anyone seen Sango and Inuyasha they haven't been out all night." Saseko asked them as she looked around for them.

"I saw Sango earlier when I went to give her the kimono but that was an hour ago." Sukida said.

"I was teasing Inuyasha earlier too but that was before the party I didn't see him after that because I left with Kagome." Shippo said as he hopped into Kagome's arms tired of walking.

"Lady Kagome hey over here!" Miroku yelled her name as he ran threw the crowd toward the ladies with Kikyo, Koga, and…was that SESSHOMARU!

"Hi guys what are you two doing here?" Kagome said as she greeted them well she greeted Koga anyway.

"We're here to rescue Ayame and Rin they were kidnapped and taken as hostages by Naraku and we had two days to get here or we would never see them again." Koga answered as he continued. "You haven't seen them around have you?"

"I haven't seen Ayame and I don't know who this Rin is to actually know if I've seen her, so who is she?" Kagome said as she turned to Koga and Sesshomaru for an answer.

"It's none of your business who Rin is Inuyasha's wench, and wolf if you so much as elaborate on what I just said I will kill you in cold blood." Sesshomaru said coldly as he glared at a frightened Koga and a surprisingly happy Kagome.

"You really think I'm Inuyasha's wench Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked him happily. Now normally she would be mad at a comment like that, but this time she was happy that someone said she was Inuyasha's even if it came from his cold hearted, full-demon half brother named Sesshomaru in a not-to-be-taken-as-a-compliment kind of way.

Sesshomaru didn't show it of course but he found the way the girl was acting quite confusing and said. "Wench, you are a strange one but then again all of you humans are."

Everyone frowned but Koga, Shippo, and a still happy Kagome who hadn't heard his comment.

Sukida smiled when she realized just how beautiful Sesshomaru was and walked over to him and said seductively. "Hello Sesshomaru how are you my name is Saseko and I was wondering if you and I could get to know each other better if you know what I mean."

Sesshomaru looked down at her with so much revulsion on his face and said coldly. "You despicable human wench I would never have sex with you because 1) I don't want a one night stand but I want a mate preferably a powerful female demon, but you are a human and I want no half demon child like my brother but a full blooded one and 2) You're a slut and this Sesshomaru will not waste his time on you. So get out of my face, you disgust me, you reek of many men, and with my sensitive nose it is quite unbearable to be near you."

Saseko went from shocked to hurt to embarrassed to sad and then angry and she said. "Why the nerve of you you'll pay for this Sesshomaru no one turns me down!" She then stomped off in an indignant manner cursing in a very un-lady like.

"That was harsh Sesshomaru." Kagome said quietly as she watched the woman leave angrily.

Sesshomaru looked at her emotionlessly and said. "I do not care I want no human slut around me I have standards unlike some demons who are so hungry for sex that they…its pathetic and I hate it."

The other's decided to keep quiet apparently he didn't want to talk about it and they decided to keep quiet for their safety and their lives.

Then all of a sudden the sky became a dark shade of purple almost black and out from the sky there was a cloud of miasma and on that cloud was Naraku and Kanna. When the people saw they were in danger they tried to escape but the exits were blocked by Naraku's demon puppets. When Naraku rounded everyone up in one place with some other puppets he had. He encased them in a huge barrier trapping them inside. The only ones he didn't encase were Kikyo, Koga, and Sesshomaru. He got Kagome and Miroku when they went to attack his demon puppets to protect the people and well Shippo followed after Kagome suffering the same fate she did. Naraku and Kanna who were watching the seen from up above descended to the ground below stopping in front of the lone trio.

"Hello Kikyo…Sesshomaru…Koga." Naraku said greeting each of them in chronological order with his signature smirk.

They simply glared at him and he smirked at their hate for him amused.

"Naraku you bastard where are Rin and Ayame?" Koga asked him angrily.

"Oh I sent Kohaku to fetch them you see my incarnation Kagura never was the obedient type she's a free spirit and because of this reason she went down to the old ruins of the castle and tried to free them by now Kohaku should be coming back in three…two…one!" Naraku said and just as he finished his sentence there was a rumble underground and then a whole was opened up and out of it came Kohaku with Rin over his shoulder and he dragged Ayame. He walked over to Naraku and stopped in front of him dropping the two girls at his feet Naraku smirked and patted Kohaku on the head before saying. "Ah good job my boy now what happened to Kagura?"

"She's dead Master Naraku she jumped in front of my blade when I was attacking the red headed girl and she died instantly Master Naraku." Kohaku said in a monotone as he stood like a statue beside Naraku.

"Naraku how can Kagura be dead when she never had a heart to begin with figuratively speaking of course?" Kikyo asked him coldly as she glared at him.

"I gave her, her heart back just before she left I poisoned it anyway and she would have died slowly and painfully but she did my job for me. I was going to destroy her anyway when she wasn't of use to me." Naraku said with a sick smile on his face.

Sesshomaru although he remained as stoic as ever was angry on the inside and thought to himself. Damnit you should have know it was a trap Kagura and you had to pay for your carelessness with your very own life.

Naraku looked over at Sesshomaru and smirked and said. "Sesshomaru you haven't said a word at all are you grieving over your lost love. Don't think I don't know how Kagura tried to get you to kill me for her freedom, because as you read in my note I know everything and Kagura knew I kept her under lock and key."

"I never loved her Naraku and you know as well as I do that Kagura could have destroyed you if you didn't control her life she just didn't see her own strength, and that was the reason she wanted me to do it. Naraku do you honestly believe you are stronger than I am I could kill you if I wanted to single handedly it's just that you always run away when you know you're about to die. You're a coward Naraku and I hate cowards kidnapping a human girl and a wolf demon just to bring us here and to probably use them as shields for your own benefit. You will die Naraku I will see to that." said Sesshomaru angrily as he glared at Naraku coldly.

"That's the most I have ever heard from you Sesshomaru and what you say has some truth to it Kagura could have destroyed me but because of the leverage I had over her and her blindness to her strength she didn't do it, however you are not stronger than I am and you will never destroy me, and I, Naraku, am no coward." Naraku said with a smirk as he laughed cruelly Sesshomaru. He then looked them over and realized something and he asked. "Where are Sango and Inuyasha they should have been the first ones here?"

No one answered Naraku's question because they didn't know the answer themselves.

Sango and Inuyasha…

Sango and Inuyasha had got ready for the party a little earlier than the others and decided to head to the secret room to check out something before leaving to go join the others. It was easy getting in when Sango remembered which book she used to open the passage and they walked inside. They continued and got further than they did before, and when they got near the end they ran into a bloody and dead Kagura just missing a fleeting Kohaku with Rin and Ayame in his grasp jumping through a whole he created. Sango and Inuyasha went over to Kagura and talked about how this could have happened.

"Inuyasha how on earth could this have happened to Kagura she never had a heart so she couldn't die yet she is. I just can't believe it." Sango said quietly as she stared down at the pale demon.

"Probably Naraku he probably gave her, her heart and poisoned it or something knowing him." Inuyasha guessed not knowing how right he was.

Just as Sango and Inuyasha turned around getting ready to leave a hand wrapped around Sango's ankle making her turn around and gasp in shock and she said. "Kagura you're not dead!"

Kagura looked up at the two shocked people standing over her and said weakly. "No, I'm not dead but I will be soon, but before I go I have some things I want to say." Kagura coughed up some blood and she continued. "I'm sorry for all of the trouble I've caused the two of you and your friends. I never wanted to do it was all Naraku's orders and I had to do it to stay alive. I know you may not accept my apology but I just wanted you to know the truth and that I'm not evil." Kagura coughed up some more blood and her head lolled over to the side and she said albeit a little bit strained. "I want you to do one more thing for me tell Sesshomaru that I love him and I always have." Kagura then closed her eyes and she was soon no longer apart of this world.

Sango and Inuyasha were silent and had grim looks on their faces. Then Inuyasha sighed and said. "For some reason I thought I would always be happy when Kagura died, but now I'm not."

"I know what you mean she always came off as a real bitch but she really wasn't like that and the fact that she loved Sesshomaru…" Sango trailed shivering just thinking about it.

"I know and can you believe she wants us to tell him that she loved him I can't do it." Inuyasha said disgusted as he frowned but then he sighed and said. "I'll do it though because its someone's dying wish and I'll fulfill it."

Sango nodded and said. "Come on let's go through that whole in the ceiling I wonder where it leads?"

Inuyasha shrugged and said. "Well there's only one way to find out hop on my back so we can go."

Sango blushed and said. "I don't need to get on your back I can get up there just fine."

"Sango it's impossible for a human to jump that high up. Now stop being so damn stubborn and get on my back so we can see where that damn hole leads so we can get the hell out of here and to that party." Inuyasha said in a disgruntled fashion as he glared at Sango.

"Fine Inuyasha you win." Sango said as she climbed on his hunched back and they began to jump toward the hole. Then Sango asked. "What about Kagura Inuyasha?"

"We'll leave her there now and we'll come back and get her and give her a proper burial but right now we don't have the time." Inuyasha answered as he and Sango jumped threw the whole.

Naraku, Sesshomaru, Kikyo, and Koga…

"Where are Sango and Inuyasha, and this is time I want an answer?" Naraku asked them surprisingly calm.

"We don't know Naraku and even if we did we wouldn't tell you." Kikyo said coldly as she glared at him.

Naraku frowned at her but then he smirked and said. "I'm sure the monk and the strange girl that looks like you does." Naraku then turned to them and was about to ask them the same question he asked earlier when the two people in question came jumping out of the hole Kohaku had made and exited from.

Sango and Inuyasha…

Sango and Inuyasha had jumped out of the hole and were now standing in the courtyard where Naraku and everyone else were. They looked around to see where they were, and then they saw all of the people in a barrier and Kikyo, Koga, and Sesshomaru standing in front of Naraku with Kanna and Kohaku on either side of him. Inuyasha looked over his shoulder at Sango and walked over to the others.

Shippo spotted them first and blurted out while pointing at them. "Hey look guys there go Sango and Inuyasha."

The other's turned around to see Sango (who was not on Inuyasha's back) and Inuyasha running toward them. When Inuyasha and Sango got close enough Naraku smirked and said. "Sango, Inuyasha where have you two been your late for the party. I mean I've heard of being fashionably late but this is ridiculous."

Sango and Inuyasha only stared opened mouth at the scene before them and Inuyasha asked. "What the hell is this Naraku!"

"Oh it's a barrier with…" Naraku started but Inuyasha stopped him.

"I know what the hell it is Naraku I mean why do you have all of those people in the barrier?" Inuyasha asked Naraku a little angrier now.

Naraku shrugged carelessly and said. "This is part of my plan because other wise these people would have been dead by now they're weaklings."

"Naraku you bastard what did you do to her!" Sango asked Naraku angrily as she glared at him.

Naraku turned to look at her and smirked and said. "Ah, Sango, still as beautiful and feisty as ever I see, but I must ask what are you talking about."

"I'm talking about Kagura you bastard how could you let your own incarnation die, and how could she die without a heart in the first place!" Sango yelled angrily as she was about to attack Naraku, but Inuyasha held her back for some strange reason. Sango turned around to Inuyasha and said in a deadly tone. "Inu-ya-sha…let…me…go."

Inuyasha's answer was only to hold on tighter.

Naraku smirked at the furious Sango and said mockingly. "Oh come now Sango, you can't take me we've fought already you don't stand a chance. I mean you're good but not good enough, and to answer your question I gave Kagura her heart back, but poisoned it so she would have died anyway, but your brother ended her life for me. I'm quite glad actually I never did trust her or like her she was always plotting against me, and as far as I'm concerned, she never existed in the first place."

Sango was about to respond again when Inuyasha decided to speak. "Heh and just when I thought you couldn't go any lower Naraku you surprise me and go and kill one of your own incarnations."

"Heh well I am evil Inuyasha in fact I'm beyond evil, and Kagura had disobeyed me on numerous occasions and she was bound to betray me one day so I planned to kill her, but it went differently than I planned." Naraku said with smirk on his face.

"YOU BASTARD I'LL KILL YOU!" Sango yelled angrily as she tried to attack Naraku, but with the firm grip Inuyasha had on her it was futile. She opted to ask him a question that she had wanted to ask him since she came to the castle and found out that Naraku was planning something. "Naraku why the hell did you choose this Kingdom to carry out your plans?"

Naraku smirked at Sango and said. "Ah but don't you see, beneath this castle are the ruins of the old one from the attack that this Kingdom had six years ago and because you see Sango I caused the attack. It was all part of my plan."

Sango stared at him in complete shock and asked him in a voice that was just barely above a whisper. "But how could you have known that all of this would happen if you attacked and destroyed the village. Are you psychic?"

"I had a little help from a friend I can't tell you my secrets however and besides Sango dear you can't really be angry with me because well I saved your life as well as that damn prince and his sister." Naraku said as he smirked at Sango.

Sango continued to look at him confused and asked him. "Yes, why would you save Kiyoraka, Enjeru, and I if you knew we were going to cause you this trouble."

Naraku laughed coldly and said. "As I said earlier I got help from a friend. I knew I would be using Kiyoraka in the future and well his little sister wasn't really needed but she did prove to be quite the help, and well Sango you are important for my plan." He then turned and looked at his two incarnations in disguise and smirked and said. "Kiyoraka and Saseko come or should I say Akuen and Akufu." The two of them changed back into their normal selves and walked over to stand beside Naraku as well. Naraku smirked and said. "These are my two latest incarnations and they were the one's helping me in my scheme."

Sango grew angry and asked Naraku angrily. "Naraku you twisted bastard where are the real Kiyoraka and Saseko?"

Naraku smiled maliciously and said. "Well Kiyoraka is in Kanna's mirror and Saseko and her husband Kachiki are both dead."

"That's it Naraku you die today!" Sango yelled angrily but then she remembered Inuyasha and said. "I'm sorry about this Inuyasha."

"Sorry about wha…AHH SHIT SANGO WHAT THE HELL!" Inuyasha yelled in pain. You see Sango had used her hidden dagger to cut Inuyasha's stomach which soon formed a wide bleeding gash. Inuyasha, who had fell on his knees from the pain, stood up on wobbly legs and ran over to Sango, who was caught in one of Naraku's tentacles, as best as he could.

Naraku noticing Inuyasha coming toward him smirked and said. "Inuyasha I wouldn't come any closer if I were you unless of course you want everyone to find out your little secret."

Inuyasha stopped in mid air and landed softly on the ground with an angry and slightly confused look on his face and he asked him. "What secret are you talking about you bastard?"

"Oh the one that you and Kikyo know about and no one else does." Naraku answered with a sick smirk on his face.

Kikyo and Inuyasha shared a look of confusion until it both donned on them and they turned to glare at Naraku coldly and Inuyasha said. "You wouldn't dare Naraku."

"Shows how much you know me…hahahahahahaha!" Naraku said coldly as he glared at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha sighed and stayed where he was.

"I knew you'd see it my way Inuyasha." Naraku said. He then turned his attention to the heated and angry Sango and said. "Sango I have something to tell you that may sound out of character and completely not me but it must be said."

Sango stopped struggling and glared at him and asked in a lazy drawl. "What the hell do you have to say to me Naraku?"

"Sango I love you." Naraku said simply as he stared at her with a smile on his face which really scared everyone that knew Naraku.

"WHAT!" Everyone that knew Naraku yelled in shock.

"Master Naraku how can you love her when I love you!" Akufu asked him hurt and slightly angry.

Naraku whipped his neck around so fast he almost got whiplash and said. "What the hell…Akufu me loving you is like…god forbid Sesshomaru falling in love with that human girl when she gets older in other words…god that's sick even for me and I'm as sick as they come. Now I'm willing to forget this ever happened if you never bring it up again."

Akufu frowned and glared at Sango but nodded her head and said nothing.

Rin who had overheard what Naraku said turned to Sesshomaru and asked. "Lord Sesshomaru what is the evil man talking about when he said you falling in love with me when I get older?"

Sesshomaru made a coughing sound and turned his attention to Rin and said. "It was nothing Rin just let it go okay."

Rin for the first time in her life didn't follow orders and was persistent and she said. "But Lord Sesshomaru I really…"

Sesshomaru becoming increasingly frustrated with her question said in a threatening manner. "Look Rin let it go like I said don't disobey me or I become irritated and you don't like it when I get irritated do you?" Rin shook her head no and he continued. "Then I suggest you do as I say and let the subject go."

Rin nodded and said. "It's already forgotten Lord Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru nodded and said. "Good girl."

"Naraku you bastard how could you tell Sango you love her when you know I've loved her since I first laid eyes on her." Akuen asked his master angrily as he glared at him coldly.

Naraku smirked and said. "Akuen I would never willingly help a soul unless it leads to suffering or I want something in return and in your case it lead to suffering and now she's mine."

Sango having finally snapped out of her shock frowned at Naraku and Akuen and said. "Wait just a minute I am no one's but my own and I most definitely do not belong to the likes of you two especially you Naraku, and how the hell can you love me if you did all of this shit me and put me through this living hell."

Before Naraku could answer however Inuyasha decided to but in. "Why the hell do you even care Sango I mean you know you don't love him so just get the hell away from him so I can kill him!"

Sango turned to look at Inuyasha and glared at him and said. "Um I would be happy to get away from him, but incase you haven't noticed I'm a little tied up at the moment and you have my damn weapon's Inuyasha."

"Well use that damn hidden dagger of yours to cut his damn tentacle like you so graciously cut my damn stomach…I'm not the damn enemy Sango that bastard that's holding you is!" Inuyasha yelled angrily.

"I would but it broke when I cut your hard stomach what is it made out of anyway steel or something!" Sango asked him angrily.

"Well if you never cut my stomach and ran away from me and toward that bastard you never would have been in this situation in the first damn place woman!" Inuyasha yelled crossly.

"Oh so it's back to calling me woman now huh well I see how you want to be mutt." Sango said coldly with a smirk on her face.

"Why the hell do you have to be so damn stubborn I was only holding you back so you wouldn't get out of control and do something stupid out of anger." Inuyasha yelled at her with a permanent frown etched on his face.

"Stubborn oh you're the king of stubbornness Inuyasha so don't you dare call me that and you do the same thing that I did just now all of the time so you can learn from what you just told me, and what the hell is you're problem anyway because you're really acting strange." Sango said angrily as she too frowned at Inuyasha.

"Goddamit it's because I care about you Sango and I don't want you to get hurt!" Inuyasha yelled getting frustrated with Sango.

Sango's frown disappeared and it was replaced with a look of shock and she asked. "Do you…really mean that Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha blushed slightly and he said. "…Yes I do Sango it's just that you're really important to me you're my best friend."

Sango blushed from his kind words and she smiled tenderly and said. "Oh that means so much to me Inu and I'm sorry for what I said earlier and for cutting your stomach."

"No it was my fault I shouldn't have said what I said either." Inuyasha told her as he apologized.

Kikyo realizing Sango was still in Naraku's grasp and no one could get close enough to rescue prepared her bow and arrow and launched it at Naraku's tentacle successfully freeing Sango from his grasp.

Sango fell to the ground but she landed on her feet like a cat and ran over to Inuyasha and Kikyo and said. "Inuyasha give me my weapons."

Inuyasha complied and gave her, her sword and he took the huge boomerang off of his back and handed it to her as well. He then proceeded to pop his back and he said. "Damn that felt good how the hell can you carry that thing all day it has to put your back out?"

Before Sango could reply to his answer however a fireball came hurling Sango's way and it would have burned Sango had she not seen it coming and moved out of the way in time.

All eyes turned to Akufu and that included a very furious Naraku and he said. "Akufu what the hell is wrong with you, you could have killed her, and I would have been extremely pissed off!"

Akufu ignored Naraku her focuses entirely on Sango and she said in a cold voice. "Sango you bitch I'll kill you!"

Sango frowned at her puzzled and said. "This'll be the first and last time that I ever agree with Naraku but he's right. What the hell is wrong with you? I've never done anything to you, in fact I don't even know you?"

"You bitch you took Naraku away from me and for that you'll pay…WITH YOUR LIFE!" Akufu yelled as she ran over to Sango and hit her so hard that Sango flew into the air and over the castle headed in the direction of the town square.

"SANGO!" Inuyasha yelled as he tried to run out of the castle and find her, but Akuen stood in his way. Inuyasha grew angry and said. "Get out of my way you bastard!"

Akuen smirked and said. "I don't think so I have score to settle with you Inuyasha."

"What about Sango I thought you cared about her!" Inuyasha asked him angrily.

"Oh I do…it's just that you're more important to me now than her." Akuen said with a smirk.

Inuyasha sighed in frustration and pulled out Tetsaiga as it transformed and he said. "Come on then you bastard let's fight, but before then I need to take care of something first." Inuyasha then turned to Sesshomaru and called his name.

Sesshomaru turned to him and asked him emotionlessly. "What little brother?"

"I need you to go and find Sango for me." Inuyasha told him.

Everyone gawked at Inuyasha like he was crazy because they all thought Sesshomaru wasn't much of a difference from Akufu.

"Inuyasha what are you…" Kikyo said but she was cut off by the raising of Inuyasha's hand in her direction.

"I know what I'm doing Kikyo trust me." Inuyasha told Kikyo with a smirk on his face.

"Brother I refuse to go look for that human wench." Sesshomaru said coldly as he glared at his brother.

Inuyasha smirked and said. "Oh but you don't have a choice Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru quickly disappeared and reappeared in front of Inuyasha before he lifted him up in the air by the throat and said in a cold voice. "Who are you to tell me if I have a choice in a matter you half-breed mongrel!"

Inuyasha, unfazed by his brothers actions, only grinned sadistically and said. "Oh you don't have a choice because you owe Sango for saving Rin from that demon, and besides it would make Rin sad to see the woman that saved her, dead because the person that she idolizes so much neglected to save her in time. Oh and you killing me in cold blood in front of Rin would definitely traumatize the girl and she will be forever frightened by you. Who knows she may run away from you in fear that you may do the same thing to her."

Sesshomaru stared at him in shock before it quickly disappeared and was replaced by a smirk as he unleashed Inuyasha's throat from his grip and he said. "Well I'll be damned little brother that was something…god I can't believe I'm saying this…I would do. I'm…proud of you."

Inuyasha's mouth opened wide and he asked. "Did-did you just say you were proud of…me! As in Inuyasha the person that you hate the most in your life!"

Sesshomaru looked down at him and said coldly. "You ruined the moment little brother."

"I'll take that as a yes." Inuyasha said and then he turned to his brother and asked. "So are you going to go get her…Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru nodded forcefully before he disappeared into a glowing white orb and zoomed away in the direction Sango and Akufu went.

Inuyasha smirked he used to didn't trust his brother, but now he was glad that he was going to go and protect Sango which meant that Inuyasha didn't have to worry about her and he could focus on this fight against the person that he hated the most next to Naraku, his incarnation, Akuen. He thought it was the prince he hated but in all actuality it was nothing but a trick of Naraku's, but if he's masquerading as the prince then where the hell is the real one. Inuyasha decided not to dwell on that any longer as he focused his attention on the smirking abomination and smirked right back and said. "Now let's get this fight over with you bastard because I have a bone to pick with you as well."

Akuen laughed coldly and said. "Well let's began, but I don't think I want to fight you in this form but I have just the perfect one." Akuen was then engulfed in green smoke and then it soon disappeared and Sango stood in his place weapons and all. Akuen then said in a voice that was exactly like Sango's and said. "Are you ready Inuyasha to fight me."

Inuyasha, who was shocked to see Sango standing there in front of him, snapped out of it when he realized it wasn't actually her and he smirked and said. "You better believe it you twisted bastard!"

Inuyasha and Akuen then drew their swords and ran toward each other and soon the sound of metal against metal was heard.

The battle had begun…
