Chapter 17: Alliances Taken Up

"Well, it's been five days. That means the battle will happen in two days." Kagome said. "We better find Sesshoumaru and Kouga. I know you don't want to Inuyasha, but we have to. It's the only way."

"I guess your right. No matter how much I hate we have to. Come on, we're finding Kouga first. He's easiest." Inuyasha told them. Inuyasha and Kagome got ready to rum. Kirara transformed; let Miroku, Sango, and Shippo on her back and they took off.

In an hour they reached the Eastern lands and Inuyasha caught Kouga's scent. He found the wolf den not long after. Kouga heard a bunch of ruckus and came out of the den.

"Mutt, Kagome! What are you doing here?"

"We need to ask you a favor Kouga." Kagome said.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Kouga, I went back to my time five days ago and I met Inuyasha's older self. He said the battle was going to be in two days. He said Naraku was going to be stronger than ever! But I read a story too. It said Inuyasha will almost die and turn into a youkai because of it. That's my worst fear, his youkai side. And it said that he will try to calm me but I accidentally hurt him; then he tries to kill me, thinking I've turned on him. I need your help Kouga. I need you to team up with Sesshoumaru and us to defeat him." Kagome told him

He just stared at her.

"Kouga please!" She begged.

He snapped back to reality after figuring out what she had said. "Of course Kagome. I'll help you. But how are you going to get Sesshoumaru's help?"

"My help for what wolf?" Came a voice from behind them. Inuyasha growled an stopped when Kagome looked at him.

"Sesshoumaru, they say there's going to be a HUGE battle with Naraku in two days."

"Yes. And he's harder then ever. He's even going to bring on Inuyasha's youkai at the end. And many are going to die. But not us. The most I know is that at least you, Kouga, me, Inuyasha, Shippo are alive."

Miroku and Sango cringed when didn't hear their names. Kagome felt them tense up and turned to them. "Hey. He only mentioned who was living then. But I have a pretty good feeling your included."

"Who told you girl?" Sesshoumaru asked in his mono tone voice.

"I met up with Inuyasha's older self and he told me about this. He said also that we will all be under my human spell, because demon slayers will defeat all demons in about a few centuries. He said we were all good, nothing to worry about."

She told them.

"Anyway, we need your help Sesshoumaru. I know you don't like it as much as I do, but we need as much help as we can get. He's going to turn me into a youkai and make me hurt Kagome, almost kill her. That's how powerful he is. Please Sesshoumaru. This is the only thing I've ever asked from you." Inuyasha asked.

Sesshoumaru chuckled. "Well little brother, you are right, I don't like it. But I will do it this once." He told them. "This was the reason I came anyway. Naraku's aura is 10x stronger than it has ever been. He will be more difficult to defeat than before."

"Thank you Sesshoumaru. Thank you."

"Kagome? Since we're going into battle soon, do you want to stay here?" Kouga asked her.

She looked at Inuyasha who had his 'I don't care face' on.

"Yes. We would love to." She told him

"You better keep your hands off her though wolf. She's mine."

"I know. And I have Ayame here anyway, so were both happy."
