The next night Sayuri and Naraku were discussing what was to be done for the monks.

"Inuyasha and his group may interfere so i will keep them busy" Naraku said. Sayuri nodded "while I infiltrate the village the monks reside in and find them. But I don't want to kill the villagers" she said. Naraku nodded "...unless unnecessary" she added. Naraku chuckled and stood, he helped her up "what about Kara?"she asks

"Kohaku can watch her while we're gone. It's too dangerous for her to go up against the monks." he said. Little did he or Sayuri know, that the little element demon had been listning to their conversation behind the wall. She didn't want either of them to go after the monks. She was afraid of loosing her new father figuire and Sayuri who may be put back in the mirror and tortured once again. She ran quickly and quietly back to her room and jumped in her bed pretending to be asleep.

She heard the door slide open and a hand rest on her head. It was small and soft so it was Sayuri's hand.

"She's so small. I still can't believe she spent half her life wandering the woods" Naraku whispered

"She's a strong little girl. And one day she'll make a great demon" Sayuri whispered back.

"Maybe we can bear some of our own hmm?" Naraku asked huskily. Sayuri smiled "Maybe but not now. Not until those monks are dealt with" she said standing up.

They left Kara's room and went to their own. Kara got up out of her bed and changed into her kimono and snuck out the window. She would take care of the monks herself.

`I won't loose them!` she thought with determination as she ran fast in the dark forest. The village was quite far so she had a while to go yet.

Morning had arrived and Kara made it to the village. She didn't bother transforming into her disguise. She was anxious to find the ruthless monks soon.

She infiltrated the village quietly and with stealth. She passed the houses with speed and ease without any humans noticing her. She despised humans with all her heart. It was them who were responsible for her family's death in the first place.

She entered the village temple quietly and spotted her targets sitting praying. She drew up a small fire ball and got ready to run. She threw it, hitting one of the monks on the back.

He screamed in terror and pain and the others attempted to put the fire out but it ws no use. The human was burned to ashes. The head monk spotted Kara and held an angry face "You vile demon! You'll pay!" he yelled running towards her. Kara sped off into the forest so she wouldn't attract attention to the other villagers. She led them out into the forest and held her battle stance.

Five monks plus the elder monk surrounded her.

`oh boy` she thought

00o0oo0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o

Sayuri opened her eyes slowly. The sun greeting her face. She tried to get up but the arm around her tightned a bit and she felt her lovers face nuzzle her neck "Do we have to get up?" he whined enjoying the position. Sayuri was laying on top of his chest and her legs were tangled with Naraku's. She laughed "Yes. We have to my love." she said rolling off him and on to the floor. She stretched like a tiger as he sat up rubbing his eyes. Sayuri left the room after dressing to check on Kara. As Naraku dressed he heard Sayuri's running footsteps coming to their room. She rushed in "She's gone!" she yelled

Naraku sharply turned "what?"

Sayuri ran a hand threw her hair "Kara's gone, I can't find her anywhere" she whispered in panic. Naraku looked out the window and silently gasped "Sayuri, you don't think..." he began. Sayuri's eyes widened "Oh no" she whispered running out the room with Naraku gaining on her. They both rushed out the castle and into the forest.

"Sayuri! Inuyasha and his friends are near! I'll keep them busy for now!" Naraku yelled. Sayuri nodded and ran on ahead as Naraku changed direction.

o000oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Not to far from the small village Inuyasha and the group were walking along the side road in search of shikon jewls. Kagome's head snapped up "I sense some jewel shards! and their coming fast!" she panically said.

"It must be Naraku!" Miroku realised. He was correct as Naraku appeared out of no where and attacked them.

`I have to keep them busy. At least until Sayuri kills the monks` Naraku thought.

oo0o00oo00oooo0oo00o0o0o

Mean while Sayuri ran quickly and quietly past the village and into the other side of the forest where she smelt Kara. She landed on a tree and gasped. Kara was stained with blood and she was held hostage by one of the monks. He had her by the hair snickering. Sayuri growled and jumped landing in front of the head monk. He gasped "You! how did you?..."

Sayuri glared at him "how dare you...how dare you let your filthy humans hurt my child?"

She sent a glare that could kill "You've crossed the line this time!" she yelled rushing to attack him but a few of the monks had appeared and struck her with their staffs. She was still quite weak due to the bruises on her legs, stopping her from moving fast. She punched one in the mouth and kicked the other in the stomach but before she knew it, a searing pain rose up in her legs. She fell on the ground in pain.

The head monk chuckled "Heh heh your still quite weak after the last time i saw you" he said

He hit her with his staff "your a vile, disgusting demon! you are the one who burned down our village many years ago! ADMIT IT!" he yelled repeatingly kicking her. Sayuri chuckled "are we really going over that again" she said smirking "I didn't do it, end of story" she whispered. The monk growled in rage and kicked her repeatingly. The others joined in too.

The lead Monk struck Sayuri across the stomach and knocked her to the ground. Kara could only watch fearfully as Sayuri was beaten badly. Where was Naraku? only he could help her.

`If only i could talk. I could have called to him`she thought. She felt tears spring in her eyes as the monk kept beating Sayuri in her weak form. She flinched as she heard her cries of pain.

Kara gripped the ground in pain, ignoring the monk who was pulling on her hair to keep her in place. Her tiara was taken away from her so she was powerless (her tiara helps her control her powers. without it she is powerless so it means that she cant use her elements properly)

"Aww is the little girl scared about her mommy being beaten." the monk sneered. He shook her head "Patience though. Your next kid"

Kara sniffed. She had to at least try to call out to him. "Na..."

She squeaked and tried again "Nara..." she growled `PLEASE VOICE WORK!`

She took in a deep breath "PAPA!" She cried

0o0o0oo0o0o0o

Naraku whipped his head in the direction of a childs scream. He felt the frightned aura of Kara.

"Kara..." he whispered. He turned back to the inu gang and smirked "Pardon me but I have other business to attend to" he said

He released some miasma on Inuyasha's group and got away. "Kara, Sayuri...I'm coming!"

He rushed towards Kara's cries.
