A/n: Thanks so much for all the reviews of the story so far. It is much appreciated.

Chapter 5

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hitari quickly set the plates back down on the table after she heard the glass shattering. Miroku, on alert, jumped over the dining room table and out the door. He went to see what was going on.

Caty and Sango were just finishing settling in Sesshomaru and Inuyasha when they heard the glass shattering and soon a piercing scream filled the air.

"CATY! SANGO! HELP!" It was Kagome from outside.

The two slayers lept into action as they raced from the guest rooms and down the stairs to see what was going on outside their always, but now not peaceful home.

Kagome was sweeping the shrine grounds when she heard the flapping of wings in the distance. What's that? A flock of birds? She looked up to see almost a dozen different winged demons flying toward the shrine. I hope they are apart of Lord Inutaisho's army! But to her thoughts, it was dead, for the demons that flew were apart of another land and not of the army of the Western Lands.

"Oh no!" She cried as she ducked when a Dove demon swooped down trying to pick her up with its clawed feet. "CATY! SANGO! HELP!" She shouted into the sky hoping they would race to the rescue. And they did. She saw Caty jump through an open window next to the door and the door opened suddenly to reveal Sango with Hiraikotsu.

"HIRAIKOTSU!" Sango shouted as she flung the bone boomerang into the sky splitting a couple demons in half.

The remains fell to the ground in front of Kagome who screeched and ran toward Caty who pushed Kagome behind her.

"What the hell is going on here? Are they from the West Army, Kagome?"

The priestess shook her head. "No! They're from a different land! They have to be! Why would they attack here if they were from our army?"

The auburn haired slayer sighed and shook her head. "I don't know, but we better deal with them right away." Caty blew a shrill whistle as did Sango. The roar of two nekos in the sky could be heard coming from behind the house. "Razico!" Caty shouted and flung a quiver and a bow in Kagome's hands. "Here! I grabbed these on the way out just in case!"

"Thanks, Caty." Kagome smiled.

"No problem. You take Razico into the sky and fire those arrows! Sango and I will deal with this from the ground!"

"I'll lend a hand!" Miroku shouted running out of the house with a besento, a battle-type axe, in hand.

"Right! But where are Inuyasha and Sesshomaru?"

"Right here!" Inuyasha shouted as he jumped from the second story window to the ground flexing his claws and holding a sword in his hand.

"We were disturbed from the beginning of our rest because of these pathetic excuses for demons. And now they shall perish." The cool, first son of the Western Lands declared.

Inuyasha seconded that. "Let's kick some ass!" And that said, he leaped into the air swinging the sword, dispatching of a nearby Owl Demon. "These demons are lame! They kill too easily!"

"They must be after the Shikon Jewel!" Kagome shouted as Razico landed next to her and she climbed on. "Razico, we have to protect the jewel!"

The green neko nodded and took flight heading toward the house and staying guard. Kagome was readying her arrows at that point.

Inutaisho sat at his desk, hand under his chin deciphering the wandering thoguhts plaguing his mind. I wonder how my sons are handling the living arrangements with the slayers and priestess. I have not heard word of them in days.

"My lord!" A voice shouted.

Inutaisho looked up seeing Seiyu in front of him.
"What is the matter, Seiyu? Is it my sons?"

"They are part of it!"

"What is wrong?"

"Demons from the Southern Lands have come, my Lord Inutaisho! And they are attacking the shrine that guards the Shikon no Tama!"

"Dammit!" He shouted and leaped over his desk. "Come on, Seiyu! We must help them!"
"Right!"

And off the two demons went.

Caty was in hand-to-hand combat with a Crow demon who lashed at her with his claws. She ducked a swing he made and grabbed one of the claws, thrusting her palm hard into the demon's stomach. The demon was pushed back and clutched his stomach.

"Damn slayer! I'll kill you!"

"I've heard that line before." She pretended to yawn as he charged for her yet again. But before he could, something clawed it to shreds. "What the hell?" She could not believe her eyes. "Seiyu! Thank kami you're here!"

"You're welcome, Caty! Now what is going on?"

"As if you didn't know."

"Actually I do." He smirked at her. "But I need to know what is going on now! Is the jewel safe?"

She nodded. "Yeah, totally safe. Kagome and Razico are guarding it."

"Good. We can't afford to lose it otherwise we'll all perish!"

Another Owl demon was heading for the both of them, screeching and coming at a very high speed.

"Oh damn!" Caty shouted and jumped back along with Seiyu just in time as the demon smashed headfirst into the ground. "Seiyu, I'll deal with this stupid ass demon! You help the others!"

"Okay!" He jumped into the air landing under Razico and Kagome. "Kagome!"

"Seiyu! You're here! Thank kami!"

"Yeah, already heard that! I'm going to help you protect the jewel!"

"Good! We need the help!"

Sesshomaru slashed yet another demon and it turned into a liquid as it burned with the acid from Sesshomaru's claws.

"Stupid, insolent demons."

"As are all demons not you, right, Sesshomaru?"

The demon turned to see his father standing there. "Father! What are you doing here?"

"I heard from Seiyu that demons were attacking the shrine! I had to come help!"

"We're fine! We do need your help, father."

Inutaisho flexed his claws as he jumped, clawing a demon to shreds. "I would say you do!" He replied while coming down from the sky, landing smoothly on his feet.

Soon, the demons were all dispatched and peace found itself yet again at home within the shrine gates. Everybody moved toward each other.

"Is everybody all right?" Kagome asked coming down with Razico who transformed back into his tiny cat form. He leaped into Caty's arms and she cuddled him against her chest, her cheek nuzzling the top of his head.

"Thank you for helping again, Razico. You are just the cutest kitty in all the world!" She cooed to the neko who mewled and seemed to smile, closing his eyes happily.

Sango smiled. "Good work, Kirara." She patted her neko on the head. "So, Lord Inutaisho, what brings you here?" Caty asked the demon who was leaning against a pole cemented into the shrine ground.

"Seiyu contacted me right away with the situation you were having here at the Sunset Shrine. I thought about taking a look. And helping of course." He smirked at the auburn demon slayer who nodded.

"Thank you, Seiyu, and you, Lord Inutaisho, for your help in defeating these weak demons. There was just too many for us to handle on our own."

He bowed and she bowed back. "It was a pleasure to help, Miss Kiys." His gaze turned then to an unfamiliar face in the bunch. Who is she? She's absolutely beautiful.

"Is everybody all right now?" Hitari asked as she ran outside. The commotion had died down so she thought everything was clear.

"We're fine, Hitari. Thanks for asking." Miroku smiled at her and winked. She blushed and smiled back.

"Who is this young lady here?" Inutaisho asked the unknown girl.

"Who? Me?" Kagome pointed to herself and the demon lord nodded his head. "Oh, I'm Kagome Higurashi. I'm the priestess of this shrine."

His eyes widened slightly. So this is the priestess that has been guarding the Shikon no Tama the entire time? She's gorgeous.

He bowed to her. "I thank you, Priestess Kagome, for your guardianship of the Shikon no Tama."

"Arigatou, my lord." She bowed. Wow. Now I see where Inuyasha and Sesshomaru get their looks from. Damn.

"You're welcome, Priestess."

"Please, call me Kagome."

"All right...Kagome." Kagome...that name has a sweet ring to my ears.

"Seiyu, who were those demons?" Sango asked as she petted Kirara on the head who was now shrinked down and snuggled in her arms.

Seiyu just shook his head. "Those demons were from the Southern army of Lord Mahan Kito, the Dragon demon."

"Why would he send them here? He does not have an interest in the jewel, right?" Kagome wondered.

"No, he doesn't. But it seems we have rogue demons from the North and rogue demons from the South coming here to the Western Lands for the jewel. We cannot rule demons from the East next since the others failed."

"Could all the lords be in league for the jewel?"

"No. We have a Peace Treaty between all four lands. If there was a conspiracy, they would be held in violation of the law for breaking the amendments and laws of the Peace Treaty." Seiyu had soon had to explain the entire treaty to them all, but none could understand it for he used too many big words, a few of which they knew but the rest, no.

"Seiyu, I don't understand what is going on."

He shook his head as well. "Me neither. I think we'll need to call a gathering of the four Lords together."

"I cannot agree more, Seiyu. Please arrange it immediately."

"Yes, My Lord." He bowed and left the shrine.

The rest were left.

"So, what do we do now?" Caty asked.

TBC...
