Kaida yawned as she woke up from some noise. "How long do you plan staying here?!" Jaken was yelling. "Scram!"

"What?" Inuyasha yelled. Kaida looked up to see Inuyasha hitting Jaken on the head. "We're here because a bunch of squirts can't fend for themselves!"

"Who are you calling a squirt?!" Jaken yelled angrily.

"Want me to stretch you out?" Inuyasha asked picking Jaken up.

"I'm not a squirt or weak." Kaida muttered.

"Inuyasha, you're such a bully." Shippo said, but paused seeing Kaida awake. "Kaida! You're awake!"

"Yeah." Kaida stood up and stretched. "Good morning."

Inuyasha was too focused on messing around with Jaken to pay any attention to Shippo and Kaida. "Whoa, I think you grew a few inches." Inuyasha chuckled.

"Stop that, Inuyasha." Kagome called. "Sit boy." Inuyasha gasped as he fell on top of Jaken.

"Am I a frog?" Jaken asked dizzily.

Kaida chuckled and stood up. "It's morning huh…. Good morning Rin." She smiled and waved over to the small girl.

"Good morning!" Rin yelled as she ran over to Kaida and wrapped her arms around her. "Did you sleep well?"

"I'm slept fine." She smiled and patted her head. She glanced over. "How are you Kohaku-?" Kaida paused as the wind brought her a familiar smell.

Rin suddenly jumped up. "Lord Sesshomaru!" She looked off and everyone turned to see Sesshomaru walking up calmly.

"Sesshomaru!" Kaida smiled as she looked towards him. "You're here!" She took a step towards him.

Inuyasha got up seeing Sesshomaru. Everyone else looked over from the fire they were sitting by.

"Draw, Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said as he drew his sword walking towards his half-brother.

"Sesshomaru?" Kaida blinked.

Inuyasha blinked confused. "Sesshomaru, have you lost your mind?" Jaken stood by Inuyasha and looked at his master confused.

"I said 'draw.'" Sesshomaru frowned.

"Bah, stupid!" Inuyasha grumbled. "You're still hung up about this sword?!"

Sesshomaru shot forward and sliced with his Tenseiga. At the right moment Inuyasha jumped back, grabbing Jaken.

"Sesshomaru?!" Kaida gasped shocked.

"Looks like you're serious!" Inuyasha smirked and threw Jaken away as he drew his sword. "Then I won't hold back!"

Jaken gasped and scrambled away from the battle zone as he landed.

"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha yelled, swinging his sword but nothing happened. "What?"

"Huh?!" Kagome gasped shocked.

"Wind Scar isn't working!" Shippo gasped scared.

"Why?" Kaida whispered.

Everyone watched as Tensiega started to glow and pulsed before turning into the same form as Tetsaiga. "Wind Scar!" Sesshomaru said, sending a wind scar at Inuyasha.

"What's going on, Sesshomaru?!" Inyuasha yelled jumping back. "I can smell Naraku's scent on your sword!"

Kaida froze as she caught the scent as well. What is going on?!

"Sorry, that'd be my scent." A voice said. A man on a floating paper crane sat in the sky. He had long black hair tied back. And he smelt similar to Naraku.

"Byakuya of the Dreams!" Sango gasped.

"Byakuya?" Kaida blinked.

"I passed Kanna's memento, a fragment of the Mirror Demon, to Lord Sesshomaru." Byakuya said from the sky.

"That's how Sesshoamru's sword was able to copy Tetsusaiga's abilities!" Shippo gasped.

"Lord Sesshomaru! Why?!" Rin yelled. "Naraku tried to kill Kohaku He hurt Kaida! Please don't listen to what Naraku says!"

"Sheesh, noisy peanut gallery." Byakuya muttered. "Allow me to take you to a place where you can fight without interruptions." Byakuya pulled out a small gorge. He opened it and spread out a wind around the two brothers, creating a ring.

"SESSHOMARU!" Kaida yelled out, worried for her love.

The ring of air turned into a sphere and then the moon. It slowly raised up into the sky.

"The moon?" Kagome blinked shocked.

"It's disappearing!" Jaken gasped right before the moon faded.

"Where did they go?!" Shippo gasped.

"No idea." Byakuya shrugged.

"Curse you! Hiraikotus!" Sango yelled, throwing her boomerang at him. Byakuya disappeared as the boomerang flew through him. It flew back and Sango caught it. "He got away?"

Everyone turned to look at the big hole in the ground where the brothers had been.

"Unbelievable…" Kohaku gasped. "Lord Sesshomaru is borrowing Naraku's power…"

"Sesshomaru…" Kaida whispered weakly. "Why? What are you doing?" Kaida shivered. Why are you working with Naraku again… and where are you? Tears came to her eyes.

"Kaida?" Shippo whispered looking over at her.

"Sesshomaru…"

Kagome looked over. "You really love him don't you…" Kagome whispered.

Kaida nodded and stared at the hole. "Where is he? Sesshomaru…. Please be safe…."

After a few Kagome spoke. "I wonder if Inuyasha's okay." She looked down at the hole in the ground. Kaida could tell that Kagome was as worried about Inuyasha as she was about Sesshomaru.

"Lord Sesshomaru…" Rin whispered.

"I'm sure he'll be fine…" Kaida said, not voicing any of her own worries. Suddenly the sky started to get dark.

"The Sky's getting dark." Shippo gasped.

Thunder suddenly hit the ground directly behind Kagome and reviled Totosai on his three eyed cow.

"Master Totosai!" Sango gasped in shock.

"What are you doing here?" Kaida asked, wondering if he might know where Sesshomaru was.

"It seems they've already begun." Totosai said calmly.

"You can tell what's happening?!" Kagome asked.

"You want to see?" Totosai asked looking over at them.

"Yes, please." Miroku spoke for all of them.

"There." Totosai said as he hit the cow on the head with his long hammer and the cow's eyes glowed, creating a screen in the air. They could all see Sesshomaru standing on a piece of ground floating in the air. The dimension they were in was full of floating pieces of ground and there were some long fish like demons flying around the area.

Kaida jerked as she watched on of the demons jump up at Sesshomaru. She watched as he easily cut the demon in half. But at the end of the demon was Inuyasha, aiming to slice through Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru jumped up and the ground piece he had been standing on was destroyed. Sesshomaru landed on another land piece calmly, while Inuyasha landed on one of the flying demons.

Everyone froze seeing that Inuyasha had red glowing eyes and purple marks on his checks. "He turned into a full demon." Shippo whispered.

"You turned into a demon out of desperation?" Sesshomaru's voice said from the screen and Kaida smiled gently, glad to hear his voice.

Inuyasha jumped and landed on another land piece and his sword pulsed.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled at the screen.

"But his face…" Sango whispered.

"Yes, his demon blood is taking control." Miroku said calmly.

"What does that mean?" Kaida whispered and watched as both swords pulsed.

"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled and jumped up. Sesshomaru jumped as well and the two met with their swords clashing together. Thunder sparked between the two blades. Both brothers jumped back after a moment and landed. Inuyasha landed on a small foothold in the purple water. He smirked. "I can do this!"

Sesshomaru landed on demons and jumped along them backwards until he landed on a piece of ground. "Just crossing blades allowed the demonic energy to escape, huh?"

Inuyasha smirked. "Wind Scar!" He yelled, his sword swirling with wind again. It aimed right for Sesshomaru and Kaida held her breath.

"Backlash Wave!" Sesshomaru said calmly and sliced at Inuyasha's attack, overtaking it and sending it back to Inuyasha.

"If that's all you've got… Let's do it, Tetsusaiga!" He raised his sword. "Backlash Wave!" The two attacks met and then Sesshomaru's attack got pushed back.

"He used Backlash Wave to repel Backlash Wave!" Miroku gasped shocked. He wasn't the only one, they were all shocked by Inuyasha's attack.

They all watched as the purple water got picked up in the crossfire of the attacks and created their own little water twisters. Kaida watched as Sesshomaru's hair fluttered around in the intense wind. He stood above Inuyasha.

"Next, I'll take Adamant Barrage!" Inuyasha said before jumping along floating ground pieces and heading towards Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru raised his sword. "Meido Zangetsuha!" He sliced at Inuyasha. A large purple slash created a big orb leading to the underworld behind Inuyasha. The demons started to get sucked in along the rocks. Inuyasha himself was starting to get sucked in as well. Sesshomaru stared after Inuyasha as the half demon floated through the path to the underworld. Sesshomaru suddenly threw his sword in after Inuyasha.

"What?!" Kaida gasped shocked. "Sesshomaru what are you doing?!"

Everyone watched as Inuyasha suddenly had a red cloud of demonic energy behind him.

"Well now, will Inuyasha be able to understand Tetsusaiga's desire?" Totosai said calmly.

Everyone turned and looked at the older demon. "Tetsusaiga's desire?" Miroku asked..

"Inuyasha won't be able to escape this perilous situation unless he understands Tetsusaiga's will."

"He can do it!" Kagome said supportively. "Inuyasha and Tetsusaiga have been fighting together this whole time. I'm sure that he'll be able to understand Tetsusaiga's will!"

"But will he be able to execute that will?" Totosai narrowed his eyes.

"It'll be fine!" Kagome turned back to watch.

"Yes, Inuyasha can handle it!" Sango smiled.

"I agree." Kohaku smiled.

"Yeah." Rin nodded.

"Inuyasha can get him and his brother out." Kaida closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Please Inuyasha…"

"But Inuyasha is stupid and thickheaded." Shippo frowned.

"And he's got an awful personality." Jaken muttered.

Kaida frowned and looked over, she hit Jaken on the head. "Have more faith in Sesshomaru's brother!" Kaida turned back to watch Inuyasha floating in the screen.

Suddenly Inuyasha gripped Tetsusaiga. "C'mon, Tetsusaiga! I believe in you!" He suddenly swung the sword. The red energy started to grow.

"Earlier than I expected." Totosai said shocked.

"Huh?" Everyone blinked and turned to look at Totosai.

"Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga… The two swords are attempting to join as one." Everyone turned to look back at Inuyasha.

"Okay. That's good, Tetsusaiga! Keep this up and we'll be free of the Path to the Underworld."

Inuyasha jerked as an Adamant barrage suddenly came out of nowhere and hit Inuyasha in the back. Everyone gasped and turned to look off. Two crystal shards were sticking out of Inuyasha's back. The Tenseiga was floating in the air by itself. Sesshomaru was still standing on the rock piece outside the Meido. Naraku's voice suddenly came from the sword. "A fragment of Kaana's Mirror Demon is on the sword."

"Naraku!" Inuyasha growled at the sword.

Kaida flinched. "Naraku!" She hissed.

"Which would make this sword part of me. I can control it effortlessly!" The sword swung and sent more crystals at Inuyasha. Inuyasha blocked them, but suddenly miasma began to leak from the crystals in his back.

Kaida watched as Sesshomaru suddenly jumped towards Inuyasha in the Meido. The sword swung again, sending more crystals. Inuyasha sliced at them trying to block, but he got pushed back slightly. Another wave shot forward.

"DARN YOU!" Inuyasha attacked at the sword, but it moved away. "Above?!" Inuyasha growled looking up.

Sesshomaru stood in the air above the sword. Tenseiga slowly moved back towards Sesshomaru's hand. Sesshomaru caught the sword in his hand and slowly floated down to Inuyasha's level.

"Very well, Sesshomaru." Naraku's voice came from the sword. "Finish him yourself."

"Sesshomaru don't!" Kaida yelled at the screen.

Sesshomaru didn't hear, he just looked at the sword and then at Inuyasha. "Raise your sword, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha smirked and raised his sword. "I don't need you to tell me!"

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha jumped at each other and their swords clashed again. The two continued to fight and their swords clashed over and over again. There was a sudden large clash and Tenseiga glowed and turned back to normal. Inuyasha suddenly cut through it.

"Tenseiga!" Kaida gasped.

The blade part of the sword floated off, yet Sesshomaru seemed calm and untroubled. Inuyasha's sword and Inuyasha began to glow gold and suddenly his sword glowed like a Meido.

"They have become one." Totosai said calmly. "So then…"

"It looked as though Sesshomaru broke Tenseiga on purpose." Kagome commented.

"Why?" Kaida blinked. "Sesshomaru?"

"Darn… Naraku's miasma…" Inuyasha groaned as the red spiral of energy disappeared and the two brothers were back in just the Path to the Underworld. Miasma gas spread out of Inuyasha's back.

Sesshomaru watched as Inuyasha fell backwards and the two were slowly being drawn towards the red outlined black ball that led to the Underworld.

"It's over." Naraku's voice chuckled. "Now that Inuyasha's demonic energy has vanished, you brothers can never return to this world."

Sesshomaru frowned and looked at Inuyasha. "Succumbing to Naraku's poison… After all, you are merely a half-demon." Sesshomaru jumped towards Inuyasha and pulled the crystal spikes out of Inuyasha's back. Then he punched Inuyasha in the face. It was gentle, compared to how hard Sesshomaru could usually hit.

"Hey! How can they escape the Path to the Underworld?!" Kagome grabbed Totosai's collar and shook him.

"There's no way." Totosai said calmly.

"No way!" Jaken gasped and turned to look at Totosai.

"That can't be!" Rin gasped horrified.

"Sesshomaru…" Kaida whispered and turned back, to see Inuyasha waking up.

"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha looked up to see his brother. "You still wanna fight?" Inuyasha rubbed his check where Sesshomaru had hit him.

"The Path to the Underworld has been closed." Sesshomaru said calmly.

"Huh?" Inuyasha gasped shocked.

"Will we be swallowed by the Path to the Underworld, or will we live to return to our former world?" Both were floating towards the big ball, hair flying towards it. "Inuyasha, that depends on you."

"On me? Are you telling me to use this new Tetsusaiga? This Black Tetsusaiga?!" His sword pulsed in his hands.

"We don't have time to waste talking." Sesshomaru said calmly. Kaida jerked as their feet started to disappear.

"My body…" Inuyasha gasped.

Kaida shivered. "Sesshomaru!"

"Don't disappear on me, Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled after looking at his sword and then his brother. "I won't be able to sleep if you die on me! It's bad enough having your sword!" The two started getting sucked in faster. Up to their knees had been replaced with darkness. The Tetsusaiga pulsed and Inuyasha looked towards the darkness. "Over there?!" The sword glowed and he swung it forward towards the black ball. "Go!" A purple slice shot into the middle of the black ball and it swayed. Suddenly there was a bright light.

Kaida and the others looked over and the screen disappeared as another Meido appeared in the middle of the air.

"The Path to the Underworld!" Shippo gasped seeing the full moon sized Meido.

Kaida heard Totosai gasp in shock. "That's…" But Kaida's eyes feel on Sesshomaru and Inuyasha in the Meido. Inuyasha fell forward, out of the Meido. Sesshomaru jumped out.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome rushed forward towards Inuyasha's side.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin and Jaken yelled together as they rushed after Kagome. Kaida shivered and smiled before running towards Sesshomaru. He glanced over at them.

"Sesshomaru!" Kaida wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru happily. "I'm so glad you're okay!"

"Sesshomaru, can you accept what has happened?" Totosai asked walking up.

"Lord Sesshomaru, I am very distressed!" Jaken said crying. "For Tenseiga to be absorbed into Tetsusaiga…"

"I don't not care." Sesshomaru said calmly. "We're leaving, Jaken."

"Uh, okay." Jaken looked up.

Sesshomaru turned to leave. "Wait, Sesshomaru." Totosai called. Kaida paused and looked back as Sesshomaru stopped and looked over at Totosai. Kaida still had her arms wrapped around Sesshomaru. "You might not be satisfied, but take that with you." Totosai looked over, Kaida followed his gaze and saw Tenseiga, no longer broken, stuck in the ground. "It fell from the Underworld."

"That sword was supposed to have been broken." Kagome's voice came.

"I see…" Inuyasha whispered. "The light I saw in the Path to the Underworld came from Tenseiga."

Totosai pulled Tenseiga up. "Although, this is the sword that cannot cut… The Tenseiga, which heals."

"Tenseiga…" Kaida whispered. She sent a silent thanks to the sword for bringing Sesshomaru back to her.

"And? Are you telling me to take it and travel around helping others?" Sesshomaru asked calmly, and then turned away. "Don't be ridiculous." He started walking and Kaida let him go to look back at the sword.

"-P-Please wait, Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken ran past Kaida, after Sesshomaru.

"Hey." Totosai sighed.

"Um…" Rin had walked up to Totosai.

"Huh?" Totosai blinked.

Rin smiled and took the sword from him. Kaida smiled and watched Rin come running forward, Kohaku at her side. "I'll give it to him when he's in a better mood!"

"Sister, take care!" Kohaku called to Sango.

"Kohaku!" Sango gasped.

"Thank you." Kaida nodded to Totosai. "Goodbye everyone." She waved and then rushed off after Sesshomaru.

After a few minutes Sesshomaru stopped as they arrived in a clearing. "Kaida…"

"Yes?" Kaida blinked and walked up behind him.

"Are you alright?" He asked calmly, turning to look at her.

"I'm fine." She smiled. "I was just worried about you." She hugged him again, hearing Jaken grumble. "I'm just happy you're alive and well."

"What was that about Naraku hurting you?" Sesshomaru frowned.

Kaida smiled slightly. "It doesn't matter, you're fine and safe…. But I'm sorry about your sword." She looked at Rin, who still had the sword. "After all that training."

"It's alright." Sesshomaru said calmly. "I did not want the left overs of Tetsusaiga."

Kaida blinked and looked at him. She smiled. "So you gave it to Inuyasha…. Even if you don't act like you care for your brother, you do." She rested her head in his chest. "I'm glad that you helped your brother…. I love you."

Sesshomaru rested his hand on her head. "Do not be fooled, I do not care for Inuyasha."

"You say that, but you do care for him." Kaida chuckled. "You two are brothers, even if you are just half-brothers."

"You stupid girl!" Jaken yelled angrily. "How dare you speak like that to Lord Sesshomaru!"

"Be quiet Jaken." Sesshomaru glared down at Jaken and wrapped his arm around Kaida's waist pulling her close. "I do not need that sword or Inuyasha's help to slay Naraku."

Kaida smiled. "If you say so…. But I think that your father would be happy if the two of you would get along and fight together for once."

Sesshomaru looked down at her and then let her go. He started to walk. "Let us go."

Kaida smiled and looked over at Rin. "Hey Rin, let me hold Tenseiga for Sesshomaru for now. It's a little too big for you to carry while we walk."

"Alright." Rin handed the sword over.

Kaida looked after Sesshomaru. I think you two brothers just don't want to admit your feelings towards each other. You both care about each other as brothers, which is why you are always drawn to each other and can never kill each other. Kaida jogged up and grabbed Sesshomaru's arm. "I wish I could have meet your father… I think he would be proud of you." She jogged forward.

Sesshomaru looked after her, thinking about his father and what he would think of Kaida. Father… You would have liked her, and would have laughed at my feelings towards her. Sesshomaru followed Kaida and eyed the Tenseiga.
