With a 'thud' the large demon fell to the ground. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had been fighting it together for the past ten minutes. The demon possessed two of the last sacred jewel shards and had skin made of steel. It was taken down with the backlash wave by Inuyasha and with the help of Sesshomaru's sword Tokijin.
The hanyou, Inuyasha, was bleeding from a deep gash in his gut and bit his older full demon brother a gruff thank you.
"Hey! I'm only saying thanks because you helped me defeat the demon and get its jewel shards so don't get all happy about it!" Inuyasha spat out while avoiding his brothers eyes.
"Trust me Inuyasha; I will never get 'happy' over anything you say. And don't you think that I'm starting to acknowledge you as a brother just because I didn't come here to kill you," Sesshomaru responded in a low tone.
A few yards away, Shippo was atop Kagome's shoulder, rolling his eyes. "Sheesh they're in denial! Why don't they just admit that they don't mind that their brothers already?" he whispered but the two dog demon brothers heard perfectly well and shot the little fox a sharp glare.
Sesshomaru abruptly turned around and strode away in annoyance. Who the hell does that little twerp think he is, saying that to me, the Great Dog Demon of the Western Lands?!... Well…I have to admit that Inuyasha isn't as annoying as he used to be but I'll be damned if I ever say that out loud.
The dog demon arm was slightly nicked from the battle and the blood was trailing down his hands.
He was on his way back to the meadow he left Rin, his future mate, and A-Un when he smelt blood…blood.
Rin's blood…
He had never felt a fear like this before and he shot off towards the meadow with his demonic speed, leaving the imp Jaken behind in the dust. Who the hell sheds my Rin's blood?! I'll kill them for committing such a crime!
As he drew closer to his love's location, he smelt another scent…the scent of Naraku's reincarnations; Kanna and Kagura.

Kagura sat on a nearby tree stump impatiently.
"Kanna, when do you think he'll be here?" she grumbled.
The albino reincarnation tilted her head to look to her right, "He's already here."
Kagura shot up and dusted off her kimono, making herself presentable.
There he was. He stood under the shade of the tall trees, making it difficult to see him completely.
"Sesshomaru, you finally arrive. You do not need to worry, I finally took care of that human wench. We will be free of that burden and shall rule the Western Lands, me as your mate," she smiled at him.
The dog demon emerged from the shadows but kept his head bowed, shielding his eyes from the wind sorceress. He walked up to the woman and place a gentle hand on her cheek and bent down to her ear.
"Kagura…"
She expected words of love and gratitude but…she was met with a low growl and a harsh whisper, "How dare you touch her." His hand went down from her neck to her throat and squeezed it tightly. "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY RIN?!"
He lifted his head and revealed his glowing red eyes, full of hate.
Kagura tried to struggle out of his grasp but the loss of air started taking effect; black spots started clouding her vision and she let her hands fall limply to her sides in weak defeat. This wasn't how it was supposed to turn out…he was supposed to love me for doing this favor for him.
Kanna snapped out of her temporary shock and pointed her mirror towards the InuYukai, trying to suck out his soul.
Sesshomaru let Kagura drop to the ground and turned his red eyes towards the void. "Fool," he growled, "Do you really think such a lowly reincarnation such as yourself can take this Sesshomaru's soul?...DIE!"
He snapped his poison whip in Kanna's direction. From Kagura's position on the meadow's floor, she could only see a splash of blood and a mirror crack as it hit the ground.
Something inside the wind sorceress snapped and she stood up shakily. "You…You BASTARD! You killed my sister!" she yelled and swung her fan in the dog demons direction.
The white haired demon easily dodged the sorceress' attack and with a lightning-fast speed he reappeared mere inches in front of her and held his claws to her throat. When he was about to deliver the final blow the woman laughed weakly.
"Sesshomaru, I misjudged you…who would have known that such a high and mighty demon lord like you, who despised humans, would end up falling in love with one? But let me tell you this; you can't save her this time. Tenseiga can no longer save that pathetic human anymore."
She didn't miss the shock that spread through his eyes and she laughed again, "So it's true…you do love he-" she was unable to finish her sentence due to the fact that the dog demon had heard enough from her and delivered the final blow. She fell, lifeless, next to her dead sister…now all signs of Naraku were erased from the world, never to be seen or heard of again.
Sesshomaru glared down at them for a few seconds; his red eyes turning back into their deep amber hue.
Rin! he remembered and was over by the girl's side in a flash.
She didn't move; her always cheerful face was stuck in one of pain and sorrow. There were still damp tearstains on the beauty's face. What did Kagura say to you that made you cry, my love?
Sesshomaru's hand shakily rubbed the tears away, blood from his wound mixed in with the salty water. He slowly pulled the girl into a tight embrace…she wasn't breathing…she was cold…she was dead.
The dark clouds above finally let the rain fall to the earth, washing the blood and tears from the girl's face.
He let a loud mourning howl escape his lips. The pain in his chest hurt so badly. That wind sorceress was right; Tenseiga can no longer save this human. He was unable to bring her back when the hell hound killed her when she was still young; the only way she was able to return to him was by a magical necklace his mother gave the child…a necklace that could only be used once.
"WHY?!" he howled into the crisp air. "HOW DARE YOU TAKE MY RIN AWAY FROM ME AGAIN!"
He could hear the sound of Jaken entering the meadow and he could hear the imp's gasp.
"Milord! A-Un…Rin…what happened to them?!" Jaken sobbed.
Sesshomaru paid no attention to the short green toad-like creature and only held Rin closer as if trying to give her his body warmth and revive her.
The blood continued to trail down his arm and a few drops landed on Tenseiga. The sword shook violently and emitted a blue glow.
The dog demon's eyes left the face of his love's and down to his sword.
"Tenseiga?" he muttered and placed the lifeless girl on the ground. His right hand drew the sword from it's sheath, "You can save her?"
He stood and closed his eyes for a brief second. When he opened them he could see the death demons still trying to take Rin's soul from her body.
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed in anger, "I won't let you take her," he growled and swept his sword across the demons, slaying them in one sweep.
He stared down at Rin for a few minutes…his eyes grew wide in shock…
