Kaida watched as Magatsuhi's presence disappeared completely. A purple light started to glow around Kagome. "Kagome." Inuyasha said as the light swirled into Kagome.

"My sealed spiritual power is returning!" Kagome called. Kaida tensed as the ground started to shake. Kaida flinched as she landed on her bad arm. She looked up and watched in horror as Kagome fell.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled and jumped up to catch her. He landed on a branch.

"Kaida." She looked up to see Sesshomaru looking down at her.

"I'm okay." She whispered weakly and slowly got up. Her arm throbbed, but she did her best to ignore it.

Sesshomaru looked at her and then froze and sniffed the air. Kaida copied his move and froze as she recognized Rin's smell. "Rin…" She whispered.

Sesshomaru held out his hand and Kaida took it. Sesshomaru pulled her onto his back and took off, flying. Kaida kept her arm pressed up against his tail, enjoying the cushion it gave her.

"Kaida…." Sesshomaru whispered.

"I'm okay…" She smiled gently. "Go ahead and speed up."

Sesshomaru nodded and his pace increased a little. Vines shot towards them and Kaida watched as Sesshomaru easily sliced through them. Kaida clung tightly and wished she could help, but her good arm was focusing on hanging onto him. Sesshomaru suddenly landed. "Sesshomaru?" Kaida whispered.

"Well hello." Kaida froze as she recognized Naraku's voice. She poked her head up over his shoulder and shivered. A fake Naraku was watching them.

Kaida heard a deep throat growl from coming from Sesshomaru and she froze. She had never heard anything like that from him. "Stay away from her Naraku."

"Upset that I touched her?" Naraku chuckled darkly. "That I kissed her… That I bite her?" Sesshomaru growled in response. "When this is all over… I will have her… and I will make sure she suffers with me."

Kaida shivered and buried her head in Sesshomaru's tail. "I won't let you touch her!" Sesshomaru growled. "She is mine and I refuse to let you harm her anymore." Sesshomaru shot forward and sliced through the fake Naraku.

"Did you really thing that would do anything? I control this whole place." Naraku's voice laughed. "I control this whole place. And I will have her in the end."

"I will protect her." Sesshomaru growled.

"Sesshomaru?" Kaida whispered weakly.

Sesshomaru started running and Kaida clung tightly. "I won't let him touch you Kaida…" Sesshomaru growled. "He won't hurt you while I'm alive."

Sesshomaru. Kaida snuggled closed and hugged his body. "I love you…." She whispered.

"Kaida…" Sesshomaru said nothing more; he just continued to fly up through the pathways. Kaida closed her eyes. Sesshomaru… I'm so glad I found you…

Kaida opened her eyes as she heard a voice. She looked up and sniffed the air. She recognized Rin and Sango's scent. "Rin? Sango?!" Kaida whispered.

Kaida froze as she heard something. "You tried to kill Rin, along with the illusion of Naraku I showed you. You were willing to let Rin die if it meant saving the monk's life, right?" An unfamiliar voice was talking.

"Who is that?" Kaida whispered.

"Byakuya of the illusions." Sesshomaru growled.

"It doesn't matter how you spin it. You were weighing human's lives against one another. Demon slayer Sango, you have just slain yourself." Kaida could see Sango now and watched as Sesshomaru caught the demon's boomerang. In a fluid movement Sesshomaru threw the boomerang back towards Byakuya.

Kaida watched as he dodged it slightly. He must be another of Naraku's incarnations… Kaida shivered. She glanced over and noticed Kohaku on Ah-Un, holding Rin. Sango was on Kirara and staring at Sesshomaru.

"Whoa." Byakuya blinked glancing over as well.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Kohaku called.

"If you're after me, you've got the wrong person, Sesshomaru." Byakuya said. "You were probably listening to our conversation. I'll let you settle this yourself." The miasma around him started to leak out of the walls and then he flew off. "So long."

"Sesshomaru, I don't care if you intend to tear me apart!" Sango called.

"Sango!" Kaida called at the same time as Kohaku.

"Sister! What are you saying?! Lord Sesshomaru, Rin is safe! So please…!"

Sango interrupted her brother. "I tried to kill Rin." Sango looked so serious, and almost looked like she wanted Sesshomaru to kill her.

"My sister was deceived by an illusion!" Kohaku called.

"That doesn't change the fact that I tried to sacrifice Rin!" Sango yelled. "I just wanted to defeat Naraku!"

"Sango." Kaida whispered.

"Sister!"

"I won't try to justify it or beg for my life, but I want you to wait until Naraku's been defeated and the wind tunnel's curse on the good monk has been lifted!"

Kaida glanced at Sesshomaru and watched as he watched Sango silently. "Sister…" Kohaku was just as stunned. A purple light shone through the roof. "The light!" Kohaku gasped.

Kaida sniffed the air. Naraku….

"Hurry!" Sesshomaru started to fly towards the light.

"Huh?" Sango gasped. Kaida looked back towards Sango.

"You will also find the monk there." Kaida looked back towards Sesshomaru shocked. He just flew up higher.

"Sesshomaru…"

Kaida glanced back as the two demon slayer siblings flew after them. "Sango!" Kaida called.

"Kaida?" Sango stared at her shocked. "You-."

"Yes I was here." Kaida smiled.

Sango looked down. "I-."

"You were trying to save the man you loved." Kaida smiled gently. "I understand and I don't blame you. I blame Naraku."

Kaida turned her attention away as she heard Rin moan slightly. "Are you awake, Rin?" Kohaku asked.

"Kohaku?" Rin said.

"Rin." Kaida smiled gently.

"It's okay now." Kohaku whispered.

"Lord Sesshomaru! Kaida!" Rin called, she sounded so happy.

"We're okay." Kaida called out. "Everything is going to be okay!" Kaida froze as the walls broke slightly and miasma started to fill the air. "Wha-? Miasma!" Kohaku gasped.

"DON'T BREATHE IT IN!" Kaida called out and shivered as she felt some enter her system. It wouldn't kill her, but it made her weaker. She glanced up and froze seeing Sango putting her demon slayer mask on Rin's face. It would block the miasma from Rin's lungs.

"Sister!" Kohaku gasped.

"Rin, I'm sorry." Sango whispered. "I'm going on ahead!" She and Kirara started flying up further.

"Sister!" Kohaku gasped. "Without your protective mask?!"

Kaida gripped Sesshomaru's sleeve. "You have to protect her!" Kaida whispered. "Sango is my friend… and she is trying to save Rin's life…"

Sesshomaru didn't say anything; he just started flying faster after Sango
