A/N: Sorry these are a little short I think but I'm writing what I can. I hope you're still enjoying them anyway!

I stood staring at a giant blank rock fast; I had been standing there staring at it for hours now.

"Kaori no matter how long you stare it's always going to be a cliff face." Sesshoumaru said as he watched me.

"This isn't supposed to be here." I repeated I wasn't sure how many times I've said it now.

Sesshoumaru walked up to me and stared at the wall with me. "Do you think you're going to melt it by glaring at it?"

"No… But I am going to find a way past this thing."

Then it hit me.

"Hand me you sword." I said as I held out my hand to him.

He blinked and started to slide Toukijin from his belt.

"No, no, no. Not that one. Hand me Tenseiga."

"Tenseiga…?"

"Yes, yes. I want Tenseiga for a minute."

Sesshoumaru stared at me as if I had grown a second head but slowly slide Tenseiga from its sheath and handed it to me.

I held Tenseiga with both hands and slid my feet apart while closing my eyes.

"What are you doing?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Shhh…" I whispered as I focused my energy into his sword.

You're a sword of life Tenseiga. I need that life saving part right now. I know that before you is a barrier of a man who only takes life from this world. Please… Help me…

I knew the sword only worked for Sesshoumaru but I hoped with his son being on the other side, and a little push from my own power, it would be able to cut through Naraku's barrier.

When I could feel the heat surging down the blade I opened my eyes and swung Sesshoumaru's Tenseiga at the fake rock wall.

For a moment I didn't think it worked and I was about to throw another tantrum the rock shivered and then disappeared.

"Here you go." I said in the most nonchalant voice I could muster while I handed Sesshoumaru his sword back.

"You had no idea if that would work." He answered as he slid his sword back into the sheath.

"Of course I did." I answered. "Come on let's go get our son back."

Sesshoumaru shook his head as he followed me into Naraku's hidden lair.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

I stopped and looked around; my breathing was getting labored.

If I'm having trouble breathing… I stopped myself. I wouldn't think about that, I couldn't. He was alive; he had to be.

"Are you alright?" Sesshoumaru looked over at me from where he had continued walking ahead.

"Mmhmm…" I mumbled. "Look out!" I dove at Sesshoumaru, knocking him to the ground, just as a blade of wind sliced across his path.

"You have good reflexes…" It was Kagura. "Dodge this one!"

Several more blades flew at Sesshoumaru and me. We spilt in two directions before they could hit us.

"Sesshoumaru!" I called as I drew my blade.

"Don't pay attention to me, pay attention to her!" He called back.

"Dance of the Dragon!!"

The large spirals flew out of her fan again and came towards us.

"I hate this one!" I cried as I ran around trying to not get caught up in the wind tunnel.

Damn it… I can't get stuck here fighting this stupid woman. I need to find my son!!

"Sesshoumaru!!" I called as dodged around another vortex.

Sesshoumaru glanced over at me and our eyes met. In the one second he was thinking the exact same thing as I was; he nodded.

Don't die… was all I could think as we both charged Kagura at the same time.

I hit the steps and pushed off flipping over her as I tried to reach further into the castle, while Sesshoumaru aimed straight for her.

I landed on the roof of the building and began running along it towards the center. I slipped and stuck my sword through the roof to keep me from falling.

"What the…" I looked up to see what I had slipped on only to realize that it was; "Blood… Lovely…"

Hoisting myself back up onto the roof I began to quickly look myself over. "Looks like she hit my arm." I murmured as I tore the sleeve off and shredded it to cover the wound. After I made sure the cut was covered I pulled my sword free and continue down the roof.

To kill Naraku first I have to kill his heart… I thought as I jumped down into a small opening. The heart is the baby…

Quietly I reached out to feel the power of all his incarnations and Naraku himself.

"Kaemon…" I hissed as brushed up against the wave pattern that I knew was my son's. "I'm coming honey…"

The heart… I thought as I felt another signature down to my left. That first then Naraku…

I ran off in the direction of his 'heart'.
