Kagome was in her and Inuyasha's room packing so supplies. Things her family can sell to help the shrine. She knew they didn't have much.

"'Yasha, do you think she can do it? Can she really open the well?"

"Keh. We will find out in a few weeks won't we?"

The group had decided to walk back to the well. Sesshomaru needed to look into a matter that was happening in a village about a few days travel from the well on his side of the boarder.

"I guess. I really am hoping to see them again."

And tell the family that I'm pregnant...

Kagome turned back to her packing, a happy smile on her face.

Sakura was in her quarters, having been allowed back in there to pack the few belongings that she wasn't allowed to bring into Sesshomaru's room. But instead she paced the length of the room, her mind in a panic.

Can I do this? Can I really do this?

She paused mid-stride as the door slid open revealing her brother.

"Ready?"

She turned looking at Inuyasha. Sighed, then nodded her head. She was back to not talking. Well she did talk when she wanted or needed something, but other than that she didn't contribute to the conversations.

She took one last look around the room and followed Inuyasha to the front gates. The entire party was there when they arrived. Sango was in her pink and white kimono with her slayer's outfit underneath.

Miroku had his traditional priest's robes. Shippo was in his blue and white hamakas and hori. Kagome was dressed in her miko outfit. Sesshomaru and Rin were in their normal clothes. Ah-Un was packed with supplies for the trip. Everyone was ready.

Sakura looked down at herself. She wore the same outfit she had received from Toga 2.0. She didn't feel ready, but it was now or never.

Sesshomaru noticed his sister's hesitation. He decided to ignore it and turned, walking out the gates in the direction of the well.

It was nearly a week since they set out and they were coming upon the village that required Sesshomaru attention. They decided to set up camp about a day from the village. The boys went hunting so it was just Kagome, Sango, Rin, and Sakura sitting around the fire having tea.

"When are you gonna tell him?"

Kagome looked up from the fire to see Sakura staring at her with a look that would make Sesshomaru think twice of lying to her.

"Uhhh..."

"Kagome, I know your pregnant. I can smell it."

Sango and Rin gasped.

"Your pregnant and didn't tell Inuyasha or me?"

Sango was distraught. She knew the couple were trying to conceive, they had been mated for a few years now.

"Why didn't you tell him?"

Kagome gave Sakura a glare and wishing she could sit her sister-in-law. She sighed and turned to Sango to address her question.

"I want it to be a surprise..."

"It'll be a surprise alright..."

Kagome cut another glare to Sakura at the interruption.

"As I was saying. I wanted it to be a surprise. I was actually planning on telling him before this trip came up. Then I decided that I could not only tell him but my family when we get there. If I had told him before then he would not have let me come."

"Exactly! You shouldn't be here. Its bad enough that you are pregnant but being out here is dangerous! Besides, the well may not accept you if I'm even able to get it to work that is."

Kagome's features softened. She realized that Sakura's intentions were not to exclude her but that she was worried about her. Kagome got up from her seat and went over to her, enveloping her in a hug.

"I'll be okay, and so will the baby. I have complete confidence in you."

Sakura hugged her back. She was so enveloped in her own emotions that she failed to hear the approaching footsteps.

Inuyasha hoisted the deer Sesshomaru brought down. They already had 2 rabbits and a boar so they would eat well tonight and have leftovers for the rest of the journey.

"Lets get to the stream and clean these up for the girls. Kagome's squeamish at the sight of a fresh kill."

Sesshomaru nodded and led the way. He needed to clean the blood off his hands anyway.

Just then they heard a bone chilling scream. They turned to each other, eyes wide in panic.

"KAGOME!"

Inuyasha dropped the deer and sprinted back to the campsite. Sesshomaru, Miroku, and Shippo close behind.

When they arrived the campsite was in chaos. Several dozen bodies littered the ground, blood everywhere. Ah-Un and Sango were each fighting several youki and were slowly being over ran.

Kagome and Rin were encased in her barrier, Kagome shooting arrows when she was able to get a clean shot.

Inuyasha transformed Tessaiga.

"Get down girls! WIND SCAR!"

The girls moving out of the way just in time, Ah-Un launching himself into the air to avoid the attack.

Once the dust cleared, all the youki were gone. Kagome let down her barrier, only to be blinded by Inuyasha's fire rat robe.

"I thought I was gonna lose you."

"Can't...breathe..."

"Sorry"

Inuyasha released his hold just enough for her peek over his arm. Sango and Miroku were nearby. He was helping her with a few wounds. Rin was being assisted by Sesshomaru; she had gotten a few nasty wounds before being dragged to Kagome's barrier. Shippo and Jackan were sorting through the remains of their camp, picking up anything that was still salvageable. There was only on person she didn't see.

"Where's Sakura?"

Everyone turned to look at her, then started scanning the area looking for her. When she couldn't be found visually, fear started to creep in.

"I saw her fighting over there, then I lost her in the fight."

Rin was pointing to where the soldiers had entered the camp. Inuyasha walked over and started sniffing, only to sneeze violently.

"I think they knocked her out with the same stuff Sango has to disorient demons. I think they took her."

"Well then, lets go find our sister and bring her back. Monk, stay and protect the women."

Sesshomaru took off after the trail of the kidnappers, Inuyasha following close behind.

"Ugh... my head..."

"Do not move too much, little one, you will harm yourself."

At that Sakura bolted straight up from the cushion she had been lain on. She gasped then hissed at the pain the came full force at the movement. She closed her eyes and gripped her temples in an attempt to relive it.

"See? I told you."

Slowly the pain receded and she slowly reopened her eyes, looking at the one who had spoken to her.

She was beautiful; golden-red hair fell down her back to what would be the back of her knees if she were standing, fiery green eyes, smooth sun-kissed skin with swirling rose-colored patterns gracing her fore arms, and long limbs. She was definitely a demon.

"Where am I?"

"In hell, little one."

"What's your name? How did you get here? Is there a way out?"

The she-demon blinked at the onslaught of questions from the girl in front of her.

"Names have no meanings here. I was lured by false promises of treaties. No there is no way out."

Sakura's face fell. She looked down at herself. Her clothes had been removed and was replaced by sheer gold tinted hamakas, the top was nothing more than a scrap of the same fabric that appeared to be molded to her breasts and looped over her arms, her mid-drift bare. Every inch of her skin was visible through the fabric. She never felt more exposed. She looked about the room then, determined to find a way out. She was in a large cavern, large cushions and beautiful women everywhere. It reminded her of a harem. The only thing out of place were the silver chains warped around each of their ankles. She put her hand on the chain in an attempt to find a way to remove it only to have it zap her.

"Ow!"

She quickly moved her hand back.

"I told you there was no way out."

The beautiful Sable* demon looked at her in sadness.

Just then the door open and in walked a man. All the woman started whimpering and trying to avoid him as best the could. Sakura looked around at them then turned her attention back to the man. She understood this guy was something to be afraid about but he didn't frighten her. His gaze cam to rest on her; locking eyes with her, he strode over towards her.

"Well, well well. Look at what my soldiers found for me. I have been awaiting your arrival dear."

He stopped in front of her, smiled, then quick as lightning snatched her up by her hair dragging her up to meet him at face level. She hissed at the pain and latched onto his wrist to help keep her weight off her hair.

His smile widened at her struggle. Then his lips can crashing down on hers. She renewed her struggle to free herself from him. The Chain on her ankle merely became taunt and pulled her body straight to the point her spine would be severed if she moved. The kiss continued and he forced her mouth open and plundered her cavern with his tongue. She bit him, drawing blood. He pulled back, lips stained with his own blood, and laughed. She pat what blood had flowed into her mouth when she bit him.

"You will make the perfect queen when I take over this pathetic plane."

With that the chain removed itself from her and he began dragging her to the other side of the room. The entire way she struggled to be free of him.

"Don't worry, my pet. We are going to be united in a few minuets and then no one will be able to take you from me."

She redoubled her efforts to free herself. He only laughed at her.

"She's down this way!"

Inuyasha ran to keep up with his brother, following his voice as he shouted directions.

They had followed the trail to a cave system half a day's travel from their campsite. Without prompting He had used the Wind Scar and obliterated the guards there. They worked in perfect sync as they slaughtered the youki holding their sister hostage. They heard a woman scream as they passed a large room.

"That sounds like Sakura."

They doubled back to the room. It was decorated like the harems rumored to be used by the desert kings on the mainland. The women looked so frightened to see them there.

"Have any of you seen a girl? She looks like us but with silver-blue markings and a gold crescent on her forehead."

Inuyasha said between pants, he was not gonna to keep up with his brother for much longer. One woman pointed to the door on the far side of the room. Nodding his thanks Sesshomaru bolted for the door.

"I hope she is in one piece when you get to her."

The woman who pointed the way spoke to Inuyasha as he turned to follow his brother.

The words stopped him.

"What do you mean?"

She said no more and he decided she wasn't worth his time, sprinting to catch up with the ice bastard.

When he did, the site that meet his eyes was one that would sicken him for life.

Once he entered the room he saw his brother facing down another man. He had an evil smile on his face and was chuckling. While his brother had not a scratch on him, the other man was covered in small cuts and claw marks that ran up his arms and across his bare chest.

Glancing around the room he spotted hundreds of different blades, blunt cylindrical objects that looked phallic in nature, a cat 'o nine tails, chains, gags, and a few things he didn't even want to know about. But in the center of the room was a large table and on that table was his sister.

"Sakura!"

"Mmmph, hmm hm hmm!"

Her ankles were strapped down to the table and her wrists were bound above her head attached to a chain on the far wall and there was a gag in her mouth. Shredded fabric was also on the table surrounding her bare body. She had tears flowing down her face.

"Inuyasha, get her out of here!"

Inuyasha nodded and moved to unbind his sister but was stopped when the bare chested man started to laugh hard.

"You think you can have her back?"

"I know we will get her back. No one messes with my pack and lives."

Sesshomaru swung Bakusaiga but before he landed the hit, the man disappeared. Then silently reappeared behind him, knocking Sesshomaru off balance.

While the two were engaged in battle, Inuyasha crept closer to Sakura. He removed the shackles and the gag. Keeping his eyes on the battle he took off his hori and helped Sakura put it on. It barely covered her butt.

"Here, this will help protect you."

He pulled her from the table and set her on her feet. He grabbed her hand and made to move out the room but was topped by her pulling back.

"Wait. We have to help the other women. They're prisoners too."

"We don't have time!"

Inuyasha growled turning to face her again. But seeing the stubborn look on her face, even with tears still streaming down, he knew he would end up saving them.

Damn women are making me soft...

"Fine, but how are we to do that?"

"By defeating him."

Sakura turned looking towards the fight.

"He has them locked in enchanted chains. Only he can remove them. If we kill him, I think we can free them."

"Well in that case, Sesshomaru will be saving them."

"He's a Kami."

"He's a what?"

"A Kami."

"Shit. How do we defeat a Kami."

"You don't."

Inuyasha looked at her about to ream into her about helping but not actually helping., but she cut him off.

"I defeat him. Those chains bound my powers while I was in them, making me no more powerful than a human. I'm half Kami, I can defeat him."

She started walking toward the fight, building her power under her skin. It was at this point that both fighters realized she was was a) free, b) still in the room, and c) was pulling her power to kick ass.

Sesshomaru understood what was about to happen and darted away by Inuyasha's side. The Kami, on the other hand, was frozen in fear.

How can she have so much power? She's only half Kami.

"Why did you not get her out of here?"

Sesshomaru snapped at his idiot brother.

"I didn't want to be purified."

She stood in front of her would-be rapist, held her hands in front of her palms facing each other and centered her power there.

"You will never touch another woman ever again."

She stated in a voice cold enough to freeze Hell itself as she pushed the built up ball of power towards him. He turned to run just making it to the door as the power ball slammed into his back. He screamed as he slowly disintegrated. Cries of relief came from the other room, as the chains disappeared and the women became free.

Sakura smiled, glad she was able to do some good. Then she fainted.

Someone was touching her. A male was touching her. She started to fight trying to get out of his arms.

"Let me go!"

The arms tightened around her and trapped her against a broad chest. She moved to kick her lags only to have his wrap around hers, effectively pinning her to him.

"Calm yourself, woman."

She recognized that voice and the command of the Alpha behind it.

"Sesshomaru?'

She stopped squirming. Opening her eyes, she saw she was back in camp. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself.

"I am better now. You can let me go."

His grip only loosened. He looked down at her. He couldn't see her face, but her sent told him she was still upset.

"I will not release you until you are completely yourself."

She nodded turning swiftly in his arms to bury her face in his chest and cry. She was still clad in Inuyasha's hori, and it rose up as she turned. Kagome brought over a blanket to cover her until she was ready to clothe herself.

She cried for herself, the women in the cavern, and the women who had lost their innocence and lives in the room that her brother's rescued her from. She had smelled all the fluids from the sex, and the blood; she felt the pain and the sorrow that was embedded in that room, that table. She would have been the next to be raped, her innocence stolen. She may have freed the other women and killed their tormenter, but that didn't free or give back the innocence of the ones that were already taken and killed in there. She cried for hours and hours, until her body gave itself over to sleep.

Sesshomaru didn't know how to comfort the crying girl, so he just kept his arms around her and let her cry herself to sleep. By the time she was done, his own hori was drenched.

"I'll take her. You go clean up."

He nodded and transferring their sister and the blanket to his lap as Inuyasha took his place against the tree. He went to the nearby stream to clean up.

"What happened to her?"

Inuyasha looked at his mate and their friends. His ears drooping at the memory of what was in that room and what he smelled. He pulled Sakura tighter to his chest.

"Something no female should ever have to endure."

Kagome covered her mouth in shock. Sango's eyes started misting over, Miroku pulled his wife close. Rin's expression blanked, her eyes going distant. Seeing the pain written on his face for his sister, Kagome walked over and curled up next to Inuyasha. In turn he wrapped on arm around her, holding her close. Shippo jumped into Kagome's lap and nestled himself between the girls, right on Inuyasha's hip.

After washing his clothes and bathing, Sesshomaru walked back to the campsite. He had decided to run to the village and take care of their issue tonight. Inuyasha was more than capable of protecting their pack.

As he entered the clearing where they were, he noticed that everyone, save Rin and Inuyasha, were asleep. He walked over to his brother and knelt down.

"I am going to the village. Stay and protect our pack. I will be back before sunrise."

Inuyasha nodded as Sesshomaru stood and left again.

It was a few hours before sunrise when he came back.

"All done?"

"It seems that the youki nest we cleaned out yesterday was plaguing the village for women and sake."

Sesshomaru sat down near him, looking down at Sakura.

"How is she?"

"She hasn't moved at all. I think she exhausted herself using so much power to kill that Kami, then crying for so long. She'll probably sleep till noon."

"Rest, little brother, I'll keep watch."

Inuyasha grind at him and closed his eyes, fully trusting his brother to care for him. Tomorrow was going to be a big day.
