Kiyomi had her eyes closed as she listened to the flute. Sara was sitting in the crevice of the trees large roots as she played her flute. It was the same sound she played when she had confronted Lord Sesshomaru yesterday. It was the same beautiful song that sounded so sad.

The wind blew through her, her brown hair billowing around her. Sara and Lord Sesshomaru conversed with one another. Kiyomi was deep in thought before she suddenly felt a demonic aura gravely close to them. She turned to Sara and noticed it the moment her brown eyes led eyes on her.

Lord Sesshomaru stared at Sara which meant he had seen it too.

"There you are, wench!" Kiyomi turned to where the voice was coming from and turned to see Inuyasha.

"Iron Reaver, Soul Stealer!"

Lord Sesshomaru drew Toukijin and aimed to cut Inuyasha with it. Inuyasha quickly dodged it and landed on his feet. Although Inuyasha seemed fast Lord Sesshomaru was faster. Lord Sesshomaru had succeeded in cutting Inuyasha's left shoulder.

"It figures," Inuyasha spat, "you're gonna get in the way, are ya Sesshomaru!"

"Don't lay a finger on her," Lord Sesshomaru warned dangerously, "she is none of your concern, Inuyasha."

"Oh yeah," Inuyasha growled, "that's what you think! I'm gonna get my Tetsusaiga back, Blades Of Blood!"

Kiyomi watched Inuyasha send what seemed like endless red blades toward Lord Sesshomaru. Lord Sesshomaru easily deflected it but one was sent flying toward Sara and cut off her arm. Another came toward Kiyomi but Lord Sesshomaru jumped in front of her and reflected off his blade once again. He frowned and a growl escaped his lips, he seemed..angry. Not just that, Kiyomi was surprised that he had saved her.

He hadn't given a thought to Sara when she was attacked but when Kiyomi was in danger he reacted immediately. Suddenly demons emerged from Sara's arm and headed toward Inuyasha and encircled him, wrapping around his body and tightening.

"Curse you, Inuyasha," Sara said, "I will send you to your death!"

Kiyomi watched Lord Sesshomaru move to block her view of Inuyasha. Sara was surprised by his actions.

"I've seen more than enough of your disgusting, wretched form, woman."

"Lord Sesshomaru…" Sara said in disbelief. Kiyomi felt more presences coming from above and then her eyes met another pair of brown ones. It was Inuyasha's companion, Kagome, and a few others.

Suddenly Lord Sesshomaru brought his sword down and sliced through Sara quickly. She let out a scream that was filled with pain and then hundreds of demons were flying from her body.

"Damn you, Sesshomaru," a distorted voice called. Kiyomi wasn't surprised when horns were suddenly sticking out of Sara's forehead and the face a demon replaced Sara's.

"You've exposed us!" the demon shouted. Kiyomi let her hand press on to the face, side, or back of any demon that had approached her. The demons became purified as she continued to destroy one by one and swiftly dodged any demon that tried to attack her. Lord Sesshomaru was also cutting and destroying demons with his Toukijin that dared to go near him.

"Your disguise didn't fool me," Lord Sesshomaru said.

"Good for you Sesshomaru," he chuckled evilly, "you found us out."

"It was never Inuyasha we were after," the demon said, "it was you!"

Kiyomi sighed and made her way over to Lord Sesshomaru's side.

"We knew if we stole his sword you would come without fail," the demon chuckled, "it seemed our plan was right on target."

Kiyomi ignored the ruckus that was going on behind them as she watched the demon in front of them.

"This woman's spiritual energy has become our power," he said, "and once we absorb your demonic powers we will become the most powerful demon of all!"

Kiyomi chuckled and looked up at Lord Sesshomaru.

"My, what a compliment," Kiyomi said with a smirk, "but you should have thought such a plan through. My Lord will never succumb to such a weak group of demons such as yourselves."

"Precisely," Lord Sesshomaru said with a scoff, "nothing but trash."

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Kiyomi heard the voice of Sara who was speaking but not seen.

"Please forgive me, I beg of you!"

Kiyomi gasped when more demons suddenly charged at her. She quickly summoned more of her power and purified the demons. They continued to attack her, almost endlessly. Kiyomi felt sharp claws pierce the skin of her arm and she let out a cy.

Her blood dripped from arm and Lord Sesshomaru turned to her as he continued to cut demons in half. He frowned before he turned to the demon.

"If you are able too please destroy me!" Lord Sesshomaru, without hesitation, cut through the demons body but the demon only laughed. The sword did no damage to his body.

Suddenly an arrow enveloped in purple light flew past them and pierced the demon in the chest but it only seemed to cause the demon pain more than destroy it. Suddenly the sword the demon was holding flew out of his hand and landed a few feet next to them.

"A sword built with hatred only fuels us!" The demon seemed to be almost indestructible.

"If I can not use my Toukijin," Lord Sesshomaru said as he replaced his sword back in his pelt, "then there is only this."

Kiyomi watched Lord Sesshomaru slowly move toward the sword, Tetsusaiga, and grab the hilt of it. Suddenly a bright light scattered around Her Lord. It was a protective barrier. The barrier seemed to be rejecting him with amazing power. Kiyomi watched Lord Sesshomaru pull the sword from the hilt even though the barrier rejected him so harshly.

He swiftly swung the sword, sending a wave a power from the sword that killed over a hundred demons. Kiyomi shielded her eyes from the blast. When the aftermath of his attack died away all that was left of the demon that took control of Sara's body was gone and a small part of the forest was destroyed horribly. Kiyomi wasn't sure if the power was coming from Lord Sesshomaru or the sword, but either way it was quite fearsome.

Kiyomi was stared at Lord Sesshomaru who was staring at his hand. Although, she didn't know why. Slowly his gaze fell on a pile of ashes and the head of Sara who was laying where the demon had been not long ago. Lord Sesshomaru slowly walked toward her and picked up the flute that she owned. He slowly placed it in the ashes and began to walk away without a word.

Kiyomi sighed and slowly followed after him. That woman was possibly the only person who had expressed a love so openly to Lord Sesshomaru. Kiyomi wasn't sure if he accepted her feelings or not but at least someone besides Rin, Jaken, and A-Un felt loyalty and love for him.

Kiyomi smiled to herself as she followed behind him. And she swore she heard him say something but she wasn't sure what he had said.
