Chapter 24,
They had all gone in for lunch and when they got there the servant's immediately served the food and left. Kagome looked down at the food and practically drooled at the smell of it.
Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome and smirked, she was eyeing the food and he knew that she was going to scarf down a lot of food really fast. When they got read Kagome quickly piled food on her plate and started eating.
Sesshomaru then slowly ate his food and watched as everybody else scarfed his or her food down as well. Because everybody ate so quickly lunch was finished extremely fast. Sesshomaru looked at Kagome and smiled at her.
"Lets go get the children and take a walk in the garden." He said softly and she nodded. They walked upstairs and gathered the children and then they headed out to the garden. They walked and found a bench and they both sat down. Sesshomaru sat a laughing Aiden on his lap and he grabbed Kagome's hand and looked down at her.
"I have a request that I'd like to make." He said and Kagome nodded for him to continue. Sesshomaru sighed and smiled down at her. "I would like you to stay away from the final battle with Naraku and Takai." Kagome gasped and gave a slight glare at him. "I DON'T think so Sesshomaru, I am helping in that battle weather you like it or not." She said, voice full of determination.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened when her heard her protest and he looked down at her. "Please, I don't want you hurt or worse." He pleaded and Kagome shook her head. "No, I will not wait here or in my time waiting for the news that you had been killed when I could have been there to prevent it." She said boldly and Sesshomaru just had to nod, there was no arguing with Kagome when she was determined to win.
"Okay, fine you do not have to stay away, but I ask that you do not participate in the fight unless necessary." He said and Kagome smiled, nodding. She then looked at the children. "I would like to take the children to my world though, that way Naraku won't be able to get them if we fail." She said and Sesshomaru nodded.
Kagome then looked up and noticed that her friends were coming and she smiled at them, waving for them to come over. When they got there Kagome smiled. "Sesshomaru and I are going back to my time to take the children there." She said but Sesshomaru put a hand up. "Only I will be going, that way in case Naraku is waiting for you at the well he will not find you." He said and Kagome sighed and corrected herself.
Kagome handed the children to Sesshomaru and he quickly took off towards the well. Kagome watched him leave and she smiled, he was so sensitive when he wanted to be.
She then turned towards everyone else. "We should prepare if anything happens." She said and they all nodded. They all walked to the dining hall and talked about what they could do. They all knew that the new moon was in a couple of days and if Sesshomaru did not make it back when Naraku attacked they would be in a world of trouble.

Naraku looked at the mirror he had from when he absorbed Kanna. He smirked when he saw that Sesshomaru left the castle with the children. He then looked at the door in front of him.
"Takani, you may come in now." He said and then a man that looked sort of like Takai walked in. It was Naraku's new incarnation. Takani bowed and looked up at Naraku.
"Master, when are you planning on attacking you enemies group?" He asked and Naraku smirked again. "There is a new moon in a two days and that is when I will attack." Takani smiled, nodded, and left the room, waiting to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Sesshomaru ran for a whole day strait to the well and when the got there the sun was just starting to set. He looked down at the children and smiled when he heard their soft snores.
He quickly jumped down in the well and smiled when the saw the bright blue light surround him. When the light was gone he jumped back out of the well and into Kagome's time.
He started walking towards the house when he heard three unfamiliar voices. He walked around to the front door and stopped when he saw two unfamiliar females and one male.
Sesshomaru walked towards them and he realized that Kagome's mom was also standing outside with them. Akira, Kagome's mom, looked at him and smiled at him.
"Sesshomaru, what are you doing back, plus with the children no less?" She asked and Sesshomaru smiled at her. "There is a problem on the other side and I told Kagome that I would bring the children here for protection." He said and she nodded. Suddenly the two girls ran over to him.
"Who are you!? Are you Inuyasha!?" They both asked in unison and Sesshomaru quickly scowled and shook his head. "Please don't ever think that I am my half-brother. He could never be me." He said and the girls just looked at him. Hojo walked over and glared at Sesshomaru. "Where is Kagome?" He asked and Sesshomaru stared at him. "Why do you ask about MY mate boy?" He said and Hojo was slightly taken back.
Hojo looked at Sesshomaru and smirked. "What exactly are you?" He asked mockingly and Sesshomaru's eyes bleed red and everybody but Akira and Hojo backed up. "Do not question this Sesshomaru. I am more than you ever could be. If you ever lay a hand on Kagome, MY mate then you shall pay a price worse than death." He said bluntly and Hojo smirked and left. The two girls smiled at Sesshomaru and Akira and they left as well. Sesshomaru watched them leave and then he looked back to Akira.
"I will leave the children with you. Please protect them." He said and Akira nodded. Akira took the children and she watched as Sesshomaru headed back to the well. "Sesshomaru, please protect my daughter." She asked and Sesshomaru turned around to her and nodded with a soft smiled. "I will protect her with my life." Then he turned around and jumped into the well, quickly vanishing like Kagome always did.
When Sesshomaru got back on the other side of the well he looked up and noticed that it was a new moon. He sighed and then realized that this would be the perfect chance to attack his castle. Sesshomaru gave a small growl and he started running towards the castle in hope that he would make it there in time.

Naraku looked up to the sky and smiled. He then turned around and looked at Takani. "It is time. Let's go." He said and Takani nodded and they both took off towards the castle and towards their enemies demise.
