Kiyomi could hardly control her breathing. Kiyomi knew she had emotions. She had every emotion any other person had. She could feel scared, happy, and sadness. Right now she felt only nervous. She stared at the back of the demon that had tried to steal her life for a long time.

As they approached them Kiyomi felt something else. She felt hatred and anger. The demon that had been trying to kill her for so long was in front of her. She could kill him. She had regained her powers and had become fully healed.

Although she felt caught off guard when they both saw him kill the woman who had saved her and Rin just days ago. She hadn't known she was dead already until Naraku had killed. A living corpse was something she didn't see everyday.

"I must say," Lord Sesshomaru said, "you took extraordinary steps to kill a mere woman, Naraku."

Slowly he turned to face Lord Sesshomaru and a smirk appeared on his face.

"Sesshomaru, huh?" Kiyomi watched his smirk disappear the moment it was shown on his face. Naraku's red eyes fell on her and he frowned.

"So," he said, "you've hidden behind the scent of a dog?"

Kiyomi's brown eyes met with his red eyes. He was almost electrifying. He stared at her before he chuckled.

"You cannot kill me as easily as before, wench." Kiyomi said nothing as she watched him. She had nothing to say to him.

"Listen to me," Kiyomi turned up to her Lord when he suddenly spoke to her,"stay back, do you understand?"

Kiyomi nodded. She took some steps back until she was far enough from the reach of Naraku.

"I never expected you to be following me as well, Sesshomaru," he said, "and you brought me lovely gift as well, how kind of you."

Lord Sesshomaru said nothing. He knew just as well as she did what he meant by what he had said. Naraku was either planning on leaving with her or killing her once and for all. But not now.

"Since you've emerged from your barrier," Lord Sesshomaru said, "I assume you're capable of producing a significant amount of power."

Naraku turned to him with his smirk replaced on to his lips. He seemed a little to smug at a time like this. Did he not realize who Lord Sesshomaru was and how powerful he could be? Kiyomi twitched when she realized she sounded a bit like Jaken.

That wasn't something she preferred to admit out loud.

"Why don't you see for yourself," he said. To this Lord Sesshomaru placed his hand on his Toukijin, prepared to defeat the demon in front of him. With amazing speed Lord Sesshomaru withdrew Toukijin and blasted his attack at Naraku, hitting him directly. Naraku grunted and then smirked to himself.

Suddenly he was in a large barrier and his upper torso was floating inside. At the bottom of the barrier was a large mass of his body, scrambled into tiny pieces. Kiyomi gasped when the attack that had sliced Naraku was drawn into his barrier. He chuckled at them.

"Sesshomaru, I shall now reverse the power of your sword and fire it back at you!"

Suddenly a circular blue light emerged from the barrier and grew larger. The attack was blown at him and dispersed into the shape of thunder. Lord Sesshomaru blocked the attack with Toukijin but it was powerful. It was powerful enough to begin to slowly push him back.

Suddenly Lord Sesshomaru jumped into the air and sliced through Naraku's head. Although he still lived. His head, as well as his body began to regenerate, creating his body once more.

"It's useless," he chuckled, "I will not die!" Suddenly a dark winded tornado formed around him, lifting him into the air.

"Don't worry Kiyomi," he said, "I'll be back for you later." He laughed evilly as he floated away, disappearing into the sky. They stared into the sky as he left. They could do no more.

Lord Sesshomaru slowly replaced Toukijin as he stared up into the sky. Then he appeared. Inuyasha, Lord Sesshomaru's younger brother. Kiyomi moved over to Lord Sesshomaru's side.

"Sesshomaru..." He didn't seem too happy to see him.

"Inuyasha," he said, "still alive are you?"

"What are you doing here?" Lord Sesshomaru's eyes met his dully before he spoke.

"It seems Naraku's main interest was not you," he said, "but rather his real objective was to kill that woman." Inuyasha looked at him with a surprised expression when he said that.

Their gazes were now on the broken bow that was on the ground behind them. A slow breeze flew through them as Inuyasha picked up the bow with sorrow and disbelief in his eyes.

Lord Sesshomaru began to walk away from the sad scene and Kiyomi followed.

"Hold on, Sesshomaru!" Kiyomi watched him stop and turned to Inuyasha.

"Did you just watch her get killed?" he asked, "didn't you do anything to help?" His voice and eyes were filled with rage with a hint of sadness. Kiyomi watched him continue to walk away without a word and then she noticed Inuyasha grab the hilt of his sword.

"I told you to wait!"

"I don't care to know what your connection to that woman was," he said before he turned back to glance at him, "the person responsible for killing Kikyo his Naraku."

"And you were the one who didn't save her" he said, "you should be blaming yourself. Rather than taking your anger out on me I suggest you go after Naraku."

With that he walked away from him and Kiyomi followed him as they disappeared into the darkness.
