I do not own Inuyasha or anything else mentioned in this Fic.

Finally, the outlines came into full view.
Kagome's vision was blurred, her heart was thumping in her chest like a hammer, and her mind only told her one thing, and that was; no.
There, lying on the floor, was Sesshomaru, bloody, battered, and bruised, unconscious, or worst; dead.
Standing next to him was Naraku, an evil grin placed on his face, not a mark on his body. And then beside him, was Kagura, holding a chuckling Hakudoshi to her hip.
They all looked so happy, staring at the bloody body of Sesshomaru. If you looked up the definition of: Evil, diabolical, malicious, family, in the dictionary, a picture of them is what you would find.
Kagome came out of her temporary shock to, slowly crawl over to Sesshomaru's body.
She picked his head up and laid it in her lap. Her weak arms cradled it as best as she could, still not being able to move well.
"Wha-what did you do to him you evil murderers!!"
Naraku, watched with great excitement as her tears ran down her face.
"Why, my dear Kagome, I didn't do anything to him. It was you who killed him. don't you remember??"
Kagome let her jaw drop as she stared at their faces. Kagura was shaking her head, up and down while the baby mimicked her.
"That cant be. I would never, ever, even think about killing him. Or anyone else I loved for that matter!! You liars!!"
Naraku gave her an eerie smile and then knelt down to her. Placing two fingers on her chin. She pushed them away, staring at the ground.
"Oh yes Kagome, you did too kill him. It was when Hakudoshi was holding you. He came up to the top of the building after fighting me off. I didn't injure him, but you, well you did him in."
"NO I WOULDN'T HAVE!! I-I LOVE HIM!"
"Kagome, you can keep telling yourself those pitiful lies, but they wont make what happened disappear. You killed him. When Hakudoshi went to kill you, Sesshomaru came to your aid. But just as he reached the both of you, your purification powers burnt him to heck and back."
"It really is a shame I wasn't there to see it. Hakudoshi here told me about it. Now you will work for us. And then we will ultimately rule the world, no one, not even the half breed Inuyasha, or that stupid wolf, Kouga, will be able to stop us. Even if they joined forces."
Kagome pulled Sesshomaru's head to her body with what strength she had and sobbed. She heaved in breaths at the time, just to let them out in almost screams.
Screams of her sorrow and agony.
"I wont!!"
Hakudoshi's head snapped from Naraku's eyes to hers.
"What did you say girl?"
Kagome looked up with a tear soaked face, but determined eyes.
"I wont help you. You killed Sesshomaru, not me. He knows I wouldn't do that. You made him die just because of your own greed and power craves. You are the one who put me here. You caused so much pain, and suffering, and all in one night. And on my BIRTHDAY!! You are the one who will pay!"
Kagura stepped forward holding the baby out.
"Come any closer and I'll kill you."
Naraku jumped back.
"Kagome you wont, you don't have the guts."
Kagura took another step forward, holding the baby out more.
"Yes I will."
Naraku narrowed his eyes glaring straight into Kagome's.
"Kagome, Sesshomaru is dead, you killed him, he isn't coming back. Now come before I kill you!"
"No, he isn't dead."
Naraku took another step forward.
"No."
Naraku took another step, and then another, and then another. Until finally, he was right next to Kagome. He reached down and pulled her up by her arm.
She was still to weak. To weak to keep a hold of Sesshomaru's body.
"Now you will come with me. Kagura dispose of the body, we have no further use for it."
"No, don't!"
Kagome reached to Sesshomaru's hand, but it just slipped through her fingers. It was so cold, so unfeeling. Like he was ice.
'But he wasn't ice. No he had a fire burning inside of him. Like the grass waiting for the snow to melt. The grass just needed spring to come, and I was his spring. I wont let it end this way. Sesshomaru.'
Kagura nodded and pulled a fan from her bra. (Great place to put it! NOT!)
In a flick of her wrist, a series of mini tornado's flew to Sesshomaru, slicing his body to almost nothing.
"Dance of the Dragon."
Kagome pushed against Naraku's chest, wanting to get away so badly, but not succeeding.
And then she saw what Kagura did. Her body froze, and her heart skipped a beat.
"No, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Kagome's tears ran from her cheeks, and then the whole room filled with blue/purple light. The three others had to shield their eyes, until finally they were obliterated to nothing but mere dust and some fine, fine, almost grated looking pieces of cloth.
(Okay so that was in Kagome's little dream. This next part is in the real world, not la-la land.)
Hakudoshi's grip on Kagome's hair released and he let her fall.
"Dang, she broke free of my mind melt."
Sesshomaru, who was currently attempting to break through the barrier for the umpteenth time, stopped and watched as Kagome's body fell from inside the floating bubble, to the ground. (Just to let ya know, the bubble barrier thing was like 7 feet off the ground. I know I make it sound like it was a super long drop, but in Sesshomaru's point of view, it seemed like it, plus it was kinda playing in slow motion for him.)
And with a thud, that echoed in his ears, her body hit the cement.
"Kagome."
Sesshomaru ran to her body and cupped a cheek. Her face was filthy, and she was sweating almost like she was having a bad dream. But what was strange part is that she didn't have a scratch on her, not one, even though she felt, and had gotten attacked by Hakudoshi.
'Her powers, they must be kicking in. whatever is happening to her is causing a great deal of damage.'
Her body tingled under Sesshomaru's touch. Like her spiritual powers were unleashing themselves more, and more.
"What did you do with her, infant."
"If that was meant to be a question, then ask me. He isn't old enough to answer for himself ya know. The parent is the one who answers then. And that happens to be me, Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru took his shirt off, and wiped Kagome's face gently, and then squatted in front of her, facing the enemy.
"Kagura, tell me what he did to her know."
"Hmph, all he did was toy with her heart. Is the big bad dog demon getting mad about his little girlfriends accident?? Well then get over it!!"
Sesshomaru, glared daggers at her.
"Leave now, I don't have time to fight you. Go, before she awakes. I must take her to get looked at, plus I don't think she would like waking up to the sight of me killing you. Now get as far away from here as you can."
Naraku raised an eyebrow.
"And if we don't?"
"Then-"
"Then I will handle you, personally. And then I promise you wont be back."
Everyone turned around to find InuTashio standing right behind Naraku, holding up a clawed hand.
"Father."
He looked past Naraku and Kagura, to the floating Hakudoshi, and then finally to his son.
"Sesshomaru, where is Kagome? Is she hurt?"
Sesshomaru's eyes showed a bit or worriment, but then he moved so his father could see her, lying behind him.
"I see, get her to your room, I will be there soon. Get a maid to bring her a new pair of cloths as well. She need to be more, comfortable, I think, is the word for it."
Sesshomaru nodded and then gathered Kagome in his arms.
"Father…thank you. This is the one thing that I truly am grateful for. I must say that I didn't think that would ever happen."
"I know son, I haven't been much of a father to you really. I- well never mind, right now go. I'll take care of these nasty vermin."
Sesshomaru gave one last look over his shoulder, and then he leaped from the roof. Form there he ran to the front of the hotel, seeing that the fire escape wasn't accessible.
Plus walking in to the ball room, with Kagome unconscious, in his arms, would just cause drama.
'Something I don't need right now. Stupid humans, always causing trouble. Like Kagome, she's so stupid, so hard headed, such a trouble maker. And yet I cant help but rule her as my favorite. She's kind, and brave, and smells delicious. I don't know what the emotion is, but it feels like what I felt when I was with my mother. When I was happy. Kagome be okay, if not for your own sake, then for mine.'
Sesshomaru entered the hotel and then ran to an elevator. After a short ride, he arrived in his room, opening the door and then running to his bed.
***
InuTashio stood on the roof, his open jacket swaying in the summer breeze.
"So Naraku, I see you now try to plague my son, and an innocent girl. How low have you gotten? You should be a worm, crawling on the ground, not a person, walking like you're so awesome. What is it you actually wanted to do?? What was your real motive for all of this?"
Naraku gave a ghostly smile, and then started to disappear, into a cloud of miasma, Kagura, and Hakudoshi going along with him.
But just as him mouth was covered he spoke, in his creepy deep voice.
"To avenge my father, Hakushin. But, I think I did enough damage for now. Your son and that girl have seen enough for now. MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
Then there was nothing, he was completely gone. Not a scent trail left.
"Hakushin, the evil 'living Buddhist' as he called himself. His son is headed for the same road as he was, an early death. Well so be it then. He is just like him, rotten to the core and selfless. He will die, by my sons hand, if he is to die then. That is certain. Now Sesshomaru is thinking revenge for Kagome. And once he sets his mind to something it gets done."
InuTashio turned his gaze from the moon above, and then jumped from the roof top. He walked down the ally, thinking of his son, and what happened when he wasn't there.
'What do have happened if I want there at all?? Would Sesshomaru have died?? Or would they have fled anyway?? Sesshomaru really is strong, stronger than me, I must admit. But all three of them, all by his self. I don't know if he could've taken them.'
