I'M BACK! Sorry it took so long to post everyone. Been business with work, working at a winery, writing a book and taking care of a new dog. Plus i've been getting so many hours at work that i haven't been able to focus on any of my Inuyasha stories, my Trinity Blood story and this DNAngel story that i'm still working on. All in all, i'm back to continue the story of Sesshomaru and Kira. And i'll be posting three chapters tonight too to make up for the delay. and then it'll be a while until have more up. i've only got 31 chapters and i'm still working on 32. i'm also going to go through this fic and change InuKimi's name to just Kimi. Also InuTaisho will only be called Taisho by Kimi as a lovingly nickname.

And so without further delay, here's the continuation of New Dawn on Life.


Chapter 29: The Great Dog Demon Comes.

It was around sunset and Inuyasha groaned, frustrated as his right eye started hurting again. Even more painful then before, like someone was stabbing his in the eye with a dagger.

"Is everything okay Inuyasha?" Kimi asked as she looked at him concerned.

"No. Everything is not okay." He said as he kept his hand over her eye. "My eye is hurting again. And it's hurting like hell!"

"Maybe we should stop for the night then." Sango said as she looked at the half demon.

Inuyasha growled as he looked at the group.

"She's right Inuyasha." Miroku said as he looked at him. "Kira has fallen asleep. Rin is getting tired. And we've been traveling all day. We are in no condition to fight at this time."

The half demon just growled at and then nodded. "Fine. Let's find a river and stop there for the night."

Sesshomaru, who was carrying the sleeping Kira in his arms, sniffed the air. "I think there's a stream not to far from where we are. In that direction." He said as he turned to his right.

Everyone nodded and went in the direction that the demon lord had indicated. But no one noticed the flying serpent in the air above them and following them.

It was around midnight and everyone was asleep. Kira was snuggled close to Sesshomaru as he sat against a tree. Miroku and Jaken were asleep sitting up by the fire. Sango and Rin were laying against the saber cat form of Kilala. Kimi was curled up against Ah Un. The only one who wasn't asleep was Inuyasha.

He was rubbing his eye again as he sat up in a tree. His eye hadn't stopped hurting for about an hour now and it was really starting to worry him.

"Damnit. Stop hurting." He mumbled as he rubbed his eye. It was really bothering more then usual because it hadn't stopped hurting since they had found the stream.

He then froze when he saw something in the air.

A soul collector flew over head, holding a glowing soul in it's claws. It was followed by two more serpents also carrying souls.

Kikyo....He silently jumped out of the tree and followed after them. Been wondering when she was going to show up. I've been wanting to tell her that it's over between us for the past few years now.

Sesshomaru opened one eye and he sensed his brother had left. "Miroku. He's gone."

The monk opened his eyes and looked up into the tree. He was faking being asleep after being told by the demon lord what Kira had foreseen. "Indeed he is."

"Who's gone?" Kimi asked as she soon woke up.

"Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said as he got up with Kira in his arms. "He's left to see a dead priestess."

"The one named Kikyo correct?" She asked as she stood as well.

He nodded. "Yes Mother." He then went over to Sango and Rin and lay Kira next to them.

Sango and Kilala woke up feeling movement and noticed Sesshomaru. "He's left hasn't he?" She asked as she looked at him.

"Yes he has. Please watch over Kira." He said as he made sure his mate was comfortable.

The demon slayer nodded. "I will."

Kilala let out a soft growl and moved her tail to cover Kira.

Sesshomaru nodded his thanks to the demon cat and then looked at his mother and the monk. "Let's go then. Inuyasha is going to need over help."

The two nodded and soon ran off after Inuyasha.

Inuyasha ran until he found were the soul collectors were heading. He stopped on the edge of a small clearing with a single tree in the middle.

Sitting at the base of the trunk, allowing the collected souls to enter her body, was the dead priestess, Kikyo.

She looked up at Inuyasha and smiled softly. "Inuyasha. You've come. It's been so long."

"Yeah i know." He said as he stepped closer to her. She hasn't aged at all. That figures. "Four years too long."

The dead priestess stood and went over to him. "I've missed you Inuyasha." She said as she opened her arms to him.

Inuyasha froze before her and didn't do anything. "Kikyo. I can't."

She looked confused. "Can't what beloved?"

"That's just it." He said as he looked at her seriously. "I'm not your beloved anymore."

"What are you talking about?" She still looked confused.

"Kikyo. I'm in love with Kagome." He said as he pulled out the golden locket. "I have been for the past four years. And she's currently 6 and a half months pregnant with my daughter."

"You choose my reincarnation over me?" Kikyo was now furious at him. "But you swore to come to hell with me!"

"I know i did. But now i have a reason to live." He explained as he noticed the soul collectors looked at agitated as she did. "I'm with Kagome, I'm about to be a father and an uncle to twins from my brother. I'm happy like this. I just hope you can understand."

"I understand perfectly." She said as she stepped away from him. "I understand that you are breaking your promise to be with my reincarnation! What does she have that i don't Inuyasha?!"

"She's alive Kikyo! You're not!" He said he yelled at her. "She has a pulse, a beating heart, and her skin is warm! You don't have these things Kikyo! You're nothing but a....a.....a living clay doll!"

Kikyo glared at him and then pointed her figure at him. "You will regret saying that Inuyasha!" With a silent command, the flying serpents came down at him. "And you will regret breaking your promise!"

Inuyasha used his claws on the serpents to kill them. "It doesn't matter what you do Kikyo. I'll always love Kagome!"

Kikyo screamed and picked up her bow from where she left it leaning against the tree along with her quiver. "How can she love you when you are dead?" She said as she readied an arrow and aimed it at him.

For a moment, he thought he was gonna be shot with her purified arrow. But the moment she released that arrow, half way there, a energy whip came flying out of no where and sliced it in half. "I think not Kikyo." Sesshomaru said as he, Miroku, and Kimi came out from behind the trees.

Inuyasha was stunned as his brother and the other two stood between him and the dead priestess. "You followed me?"

"Yes Inuyasha." Miroku said as he held his staff in front of him, defensively. "Kira had an urgent premonition that this was going to happen tonight. She told Sesshomaru who then told us while you were off fishing."

Inuyasha nodded and then looked at Kikyo. "Leave Kikyo. I have nothing more to do with you."

She glared at him and then noticed how different his right eye looked. She smirked a bit and then waved her hand and the serpents gather around her, lifting her into the air. "I'll leave for now Inuyasha. But i will return for you and take you to hell with me." She said as she took off into the air, disappearing into the night.

They all relaxed as the priestess disappeared.

"Are you alright Inuyasha?" Kimi asked as she turned to look at him.

He nodded "Yeah. But i could have handle her guys."

"We know but Kira said something else was to happen during your meeting with the priestess." Sesshomaru said as he looked at his brother.

"What?"

Suddenly, a glowing blue light flashed in the sky and an arrow shot down out of the sky, right toward Inuyasha.

"Look out!" Miroku said as he noticed the arrow.

Sesshomaru moved quickly to get his mother out of the clearing. He wasn't sure what the arrow was going to do.

Inuyasha didn't have time to move. The moment he look up, the arrow struck him in his right eye, causing blue light to erupt and for him to scream in pain.

Once the light faded, the monk and the demon lord noticed Inuyasha was on the ground holding his head and screaming in terrible pain.

"Inuyasha!" Miroku ran over to him. "Inuyasha what's happening?"

"My eye! That bitch did something to my eye!" His said as he held the right side of his face.

Sesshomaru quickly appear by his brother and removed his hands. "Let me see Inuyasha."

Inuyasha struggled to keep his hands over his face but the demon lord managed to remove them. His eyes went wide as he looked at his half brother's face.

Inuyasha's right eye hand turned demonic, blood red with a blue iris. But the blue was completely gone as the pupil was over taking his eye.

"Sesshomaru! Get it out!" Inuyasha demanded as he closed his left eye in pain. "It hurts like hell! Get it out NOW!"

Sesshomaru nodded and looked at his mother, who had appeared beside him. "Hold him."

She nodded and went behind Inuyasha. She held him tightly in her arms, pinning his arms down so he wouldn't try to cover his eye again.

Sesshomaru gripped Inuyasha's head with one hand and then readied his clawed hand right over the eye. "Ready?"

"JUST DO IT ALREADY!"

The demon lord nodded and pricked the surface of the eye, making tiny lightning bolts connect his claw to the eye.

Inuyasha screamed out in more pain as he felt the pearl begin to surface and lift out of his eye. He tried to struggle but Kimi had a tight hold on him and Sesshomaru held his face firmly in place.

Once he was sure the connection was strong, Sesshomaru slowly pulled his finger up, lifting the pearl out of his half brother's eye and causing him to scream more.

Meanwhile, InuTaisho was staring at the oddity in the sky. "Hosenki? What is that?" He asked as he pointed at a swirling purple and black lightning cloud.

"I believe that might be the way out for you master." He said as he stared at it two.

"But i thought you said that i wasn't to be released until tomorrow?" He asked as he looked at the demon confused.

"You are right master. But something must have happened to Lord Inuyasha to cause the portal to open sooner." He then looked at his master. "And i suggest that you take this oppertunity while it's presented to you."

InuTaisho nodded. "Well. I guess this means good bye Hosenki."

Hosenki nodded. "Farewell master."

InuTaisho smirked and then whistled for one of the skeletal birds to come. He jumped on it's back and then made it go to the cloud.

"It's almost out." Sesshomaru said as he continued to slowly pull out the pearl.

"JUST GET IT OUT DAMMIT!" Inuyasha yelled as he continued to struggle.

Everyone had joined them in the clearing after being woken up by the half demons screaming. Kira was on Ah Un with Rin and Haku. Sango was holding onto Miroku and Jaken was just holding onto the reins of the twin headed dragon.

Once the pearl was half way out, Sesshomaru ripped it out of Inuyasha's eye. Kimi released her step son and he placed a hand over his eye. "It's gone. The pain. It's finally gone!" He exclaimed as he rubbed his eye.

"Jaken." Sesshomaru looked over at where the pearl fell. It was letting off high pulses of demonic energy. "Now."

"Yes my lord!" The toad threw up the reins to Kira and then ran over to the pearl.

Everyone was silent as Jaken raised the Staff of Two Heads and struck the pearl with the tip.

Immediately, a black and purple swirling portal opened up before them. Kimi was standing close to her son as everyone waited for something to happen.

Soon, a tall figure appeared in the portal and was flung out of the portal. The man landed on the ground and the portal returned to a pearl. The pearl then flew into the air and returned painlessly to Inuyasha's eye, making it return to it's golden color.

Everyone was silent as the man in golden robes groaned.
