Bankotsu was currently traveling with some of the royal guards to find the prince, the former Queen and her sisters, he was told to find them and bring then send word where they were. Bankotsu was on the horse as were the other guards.
Sesshoumaru walked to the garden where he saw Naraku and Shiori talking in the garden, he walked over to them. "Naraku, Shiori lunch is almost ready, would you like to eat out here?" Sesshoumaru asks him.
Naraku turned his head to look at him. "Out here will be fine." Naraku says to him.
"Will Karou be joining us as well?" Naraku asks him.
"I'll see if he wants to." Sesshoumaru says to him and walks away to tell the cook to bring lunch outside, he then went up to the bedroom and knocked on the door before walking in to see Karou sitting on the bed with Kamden in his lap. He smiled as he walked over to him. "Hey." Sesshoumaru said and bent down and kissed Karou on his soft lips.. Karou kissed back and then pulled away and looked down at their son who was looking at his dad.
Sesshoumaru smiled at Kamden. "I was wondering if you would like to join Naraku and his sister in the garden for lunch?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"I'd like that very much." Karou says with a smile.
"Good well come on, I'll take Kamden." Sesshoumaru says to him.
"You're not going to join us?" Karou asked Sesshoumaru.

"Would you like me to?" Sesshoumaru asks him as he picks up Kamden and places him over his shoulder.
"Yes I like that very much." Karou says as he stands up and fixes his clothes.
"Okay then let's go." Sesshoumaru says to him as he places his arm around Karou's waist and they walk out the bedroom. On the way down the hall, Sesshoumaru passes Rin's door. Rin opened the door to her and stepped out, she stopped when she saw her dad and Karou.
"Hi Rin." Karou said with a smile on his face.
"Hi Karou, father." She says as she closes the door behind her.
"Rin I was not happy to hear that you have been missing your lessons." Sesshoumaru says to her.
"Why should I bother, it's not like I'll ever rule." Rin says to him.
Sesshoumaru stepped forward, he handed Kamden over to Karou. "Leave us." He says to Karou.
Karou looked at Rin before walking down the hall.
Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at Rin "You may not be the next in line but you're still of royal blood!" he tells her.
Rin looked at her father but didn't respond to him
Sesshoumaru sighed, Rin was too much like her mother. "I am going to make it easy for you Rin, either you continue your lessons or you will join those humans down in the dungeon."Sesshoumaru says to her.
Rin's eyes widen when he said this. "I'll go to my lessons." She says.
"Good girl." Sesshomaru says with a smile on his face. "Now would you like to join us for lunch in the garden?" Sesshoumaru asks her.
"Can Seira join us?" Rin asks.
"Yes, go down to the garden where the others are."Sesshoumaru tells her.
Rin smiled at him and went down the steps and out to the garden. Sesshoumaru then walked down to his bedroom and opened the door and walked in. "Seira." Sesshoumaru said softly to her.
"Lord Sesshoumaru!" Seira says and hops off the bed and runs over to him.
"I hope you have been well." He says to Seira.
"Yes I've been a good girl." She tells him.
"That's always good to hear, now how about you join us for lunch." Sesshoumaru says to her.
"Yes." Seira says and takes Sesshoumaru's hand, Sesshoumaru walked out the bedroom with her and down the steps and out to the garden, the servants were bringing the food out, Sesshoumaru let Seira's hand go and watched as she ran over to Rin and hugged her.


Bankotsu was in the eastern part still looking for Inuyasha, and the others. "When we find them if we cannot get word to the King, then we will bring them back alive." Bankotsu tells them
"Yes Captain!" the guards tell him.

Kikyo, Saya, Kagome and Inuyasha were in the village now it had been two weeks since Shiori left to find Naraku. "I guess we better buy some supplies and head back to the Western lands." Inuyasha says to the girls.
"Yes I just hope that Shiori is okay."Kagome says to him as they begin to buy food for the trip back, after all the supplies were brought the group began walking out the village. Kikyo walked beside Inuyasha, while Saya and Kagome walked next to each other.

One of the western guards had spotted Kagome with her two sisters and the prince, he backed up quickly and ran to find Bankotsu. "Captain I found them. They're heading back toward the west."He tells Bankotsu.

"Let's go!" Bankotsu says to them as they mount the horses and go to head them off, while a messenger was sent back to the palace to tell Sesshoumaru.

"Do you think Naraku had the baby yet?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.
"It's hard to say, I just hope we can get there in time." Inuyasha says to them.


Sesshoumaru was drinking sake when the messenger came in wearing a white kimono with the mark of the crescent moon on the front of his kimono. He bowed to Sesshoumaru. "My King I need to speak to you." He says as he stands back up.
Sesshoumaru put his glass down and walked with the messenger out of the others hearing range. "Well what is it?" Sesshoumaru asks him
"We found them, they're on their way back here what do you want us to do?" he asks Sesshoumaru.

"I am coming with you, ready Mystique." Sesshoumaru says to him and walks back to where Naraku was. "Hey Naraku, Karou, I have some papers to sign and villagers to see. I'll be back by dinnertime." He says to them

Naraku swallowed the food in his mouth. "Oh, okay we'll see you when you get back." Naraku says to him. Sesshoumaru smiled and bent down and kissed Naraku on his lips, and then Karou, Sesshoumaru then picked Kamden up and kissed him on his forehead before giving him back to Karou.

Sesshoumaru looked at Rin before leaving to meet the messenger where he got on Mystique and the two headed back to confront Inuyasha and the others.

"Halt!" Bankotsu said as he and the other guards surrounded, Kagome, Saya, Kikyo and Inuyasha.
Inuyasha growled at them and bared his fangs. "So he sent you to kill us?"

"No, just to keep you here, he'll be ending your lives himself." Bankotsu tells them and looks at Kagome.
"Naraku will have your heads!" Kagome yells.
"I think Naraku is a little busy getting ready to have a baby." Bankotsu tells her
Inuyasha lost it and charged at Bankotsu and knocked him off his horse. Bankotsu punched Inuyasha in the face.
"How can you go along with what he does?!" Inuyasha asked him as he dodged the next blow.
"He is my King I obey what he wants!" Bank says to him

Kagome saw a large stick and picked it up and ran over to hit Bankotsu on the head when her hand was pulled back and the stick was taken out her hand. Saya gasped when she saw whom it was.
"Sesshoumaru!" She screams.

Kagome's whole face went pale when she heard his name, Sesshoumaru threw Kagome to the ground, he kicked her in the stomach, Kagome screamed when she was kicked in the stomach. Sesshoumaru bent down and picked Kagome up by her collar, she placed her hand on his wrist trying to get him to let her go. Inuyasha kicked Bankotsu off of him. "Sesshoumaru let her go, it's me you really want dead!" Inuyasha growls.
Sesshoumaru dropped Kagome back on the ground. Kikyo and Saya ran over to Kagome.
"Kagome just stay still." Kikyo says to her. Kagome had tears in her eyes as she tried to ignore the pain.

"You want to fight me. You don't even have a sword." Sesshoumaru tells him with a smirk on his face.
Inuyasha growled at him and grabbed the sword from Bankotsu's hilt and stood in a fighting stance Sesshoumaru took his own sword out and got in a fighting stance as well.

The two came at each other the swords hitting. "This ends today Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha tells him and jumps back. "You're right!" Sesshoumaru says to him and runs at his brother and knocks him down on the ground. Inuyasha grunted as he hits the ground landing on his back. Sesshoumaru took the moment to stab, Inuyasha in his leg.
"You bastard!" Inuyasha growled as Sesshoumaru pulled his sword out his leg.
Inuyasha got up and blood pouring out his leg, "I'm not dead yet!" Inuyasha says as he grips his sword, the wind blowing in his hair.

He ran at Sesshoumaru and blocked his attack, "You're losing blood." Sesshoumaru says to him. Inuyasha was breathing hard but he wasn't going to give up without a fight, he managed to cut Sesshoumaru on his face.

After many blows both brothers were injured, Kagome looked over at Inuyasha she hoped he could defeat Sesshoumaru, so this could all be over. Inuyasha blocked the attack and stabbed Sesshoumaru in his stomach. Sesshoumaru's golden eyes went wide in disbelief, as Inuyasha pulled the sword out. Bankotsu and the other guards looked on as Sesshoumaru fell to his knees his hand went to the wound in his stomach. Inuyasha dropped the sword on the ground and walked over to Kagome.

"It's over." Inuyasha says to her
Sesshoumaru growled. "This is far from over you filthy half breed!" Sesshoumaru says to Inuyasha as a pink light surrounds Sesshoumaru, when it vanishes there was Sesshoumaru in his true form.

"He changed!" Bankotsu said and stepped back

Inuyasha rolled over and grabbed the sword off the ground as Sesshoumaru jumped up into the air as he was coming down, Inuyasha raised the sword and the sword went through Sesshoumaru's stomach. Sesshoumaru changed back, the sword was impaled in his stomach. Inuyasha took his hand off the handle of the sword. He stepped back as he watched Sesshoumaru collapse onto the ground blood pouring out of him

Bankotsu went over to Sesshoumaru. "Your highness." He says.

"It's okay, I knew the day would come, tell Rin I love her, and I want Naraku and my unborn child to live there he or she will be the future, they're to rule along with Kamden." Sesshoumaru tells him. Kagome stood up with the help from Kikyo and Saya. She was sad, knowing that Sesshoumaru's children would grow up without a father, Rin had already lost her mother.
"We have to go now."Inuyasha says to them he picks Kagome up and puts her on his back and begins running to the castle.

When Inuyasha made it to the castle they ran into the garden and saw Naraku sitting there alone, Kagome slid off of Inuyasha's back "Naraku?" Kagome says as she walks over to him. Naraku turned his head and saw Kagome he stood up. "He's dead, isn't he?" Naraku asks them.

Kagome nodded her head. "Yes but he wants you to live here with the baby."Kagome tells him.
Naraku walked over to Kagome and kissed her on her lips. "I love you, I am glad it's finally over he says once he breaks the kiss

Three months later

Naraku had his and Sesshoumaru's pup it was a girl she was the splitting image of Sesshoumaru, from her eyes to her hair, Naraku named her Asami, Kamden was now crawling and getting into things, Karou missed Sesshoumaru, he had fallen in love with the King but knew things were for the best, Inuyasha didn't want to rule so Naraku took over along with Rin until the babies were of age, As for Naraku and Kagome they married, as did Kikyo and Inuyasha

Sesshoumaru's body was buried in the family crypt by his mother and father, Naraku banished the law of using humans for food anyone that did was put to death
The Western Kingdom was how it was when Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's father was alive there was once again peace.
