Chapter Twenty-Eight
Saige's body started to weaken due to the fact that she doesn't have her demonic power to heal herself.
"Saige, help me!" a familiar voice cried out to her.
"No, it can't be," she thought, trying to tell herself that it isn't real.
A demon appears floating from a far holding someone hostage in his hand. Saige immediately recognize who it was.
"So what's it's going to be Saige, are you going to get the antidote or saved this girl life?" the demon asked.
"Please help me, Saige," the little girl cried.
Saige gritted her teeth "Kiyomi?"
The demon laughs "So what is it going to be?"
"Kiyomi, how can she be here, unless," Saige eyes widen for a second "this all a trap and that is illusion," She thoughts.
"Well, what is it going to be," the demon asked again, getting impatient.
Saige smirks "Hn, nice try, but your trick doesn't easily fool me," she remarked.
The demon growls "So you figure it out it's a trap," he said, shock that Saige has figure it out it was a trap. The little girl vanishes from the demon's hand "But that doesn't mean you will be able to survive," He replied and swing his claws at Saige.
"Saige, open the bag now!" Inukimi echoes in her head.
With one hand hanging on to the rock sticking out from the wall of the high rock, Saige grabbed the small brown bag around her waist and until the rope from it. A light came out from it and envelop Saige, blocking the demon claws from attacking her.
The demon retrieves his claws back and stares at Saige with a shock expression. The light envelopes Saige evaporates and went into her body.
"What going on?" the demon asked.
Saige's body pulsating and a smirk sudden appears on her face
"What?" the demon blinks his eyes confused.
Saige looked at the demon as she cracks her claws. Before demon can figure out what's going on, she lunged at the demon in a blink of an eye, driving her poison claws into the demon's stomach. Then she pulled away watching the demon roars in pain and fell into the lava pit.
Saige then flew toward the top of the high rock and grabbed the antidote. She finally accomplished what she came here for and quickly she flew away.

Inuyasha swings his Tessaiga violently at the demons as Kagome shot her arrow.
Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were starting to worn out.
"There too many of them,' Shippo exclaimed.
"We need to figure which demon is real," Sango said, as block the demons attack with her Hiraikotsu.
Ella was still trying to figure out which demon is real when she got an idea. She reaches the flute that in her waist and pulled out in front of her. Then she starts playing creating a blue light that appears from her flute.
"Huh?" Inuyasha turned and look at Ella.
"That flute," Kagome blinks her eyes as she stares at Ella "Is she the woman that was working for Cobramaru".
"Can she be that same woman who played that flute," Sango asked.
All demons vanish except one demon who grabbed his head in pain.
Miroku blinks his eyes confused "Wait, how come Inuyasha and Sesshomaru aren't in pain from the flute sound?"
Kagome was wondering the same thing when she realizes something "It's a different sound from the one we heard".
"What do you mean?" Sango asked.
"There are different types of sound that can cause demons in pain and does not cause demons in pain. Basically she playing a sound that doesn't affect Inuyasha and Sesshomaru or even Shippo and Kirara," Kagome explained.
"I see," Miroku replied with understanding.
Inuyasha smirked "Thanks to that flute, we know which demon is the real one".
"Now we can destroy it," Sango shouted.
"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha swings his swords and Kagome shot her arrow.
The demon roars and explodes into bits.
"They did it!" Miroku exclaimed.
"Huh?" Kagome notices a blur object zoom pass her heading toward Inuyasha and Sesshomaru "Inuyasha! Watch out!"
Inuyasha turns around and the blur object strikes him in the chest. He fell to the ground in pain.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome ran over to him.
"What was that?" Kohaku asked.
Ella stopped playing her flute "That blur object, I recognizes it. It belongs to Cobramaru" Her eyes widen and turn and looked at Sesshomaru "It's targeting him".
"Lord Sesshomaru, look out!" she shouted.
Sesshomaru turns around, but it was too late to do anything. The blur object was almost near him when a storm of blue lightning bolts blasts down from the sky at the blur object, shattering it into pieces.
Sesshomaru recognizes the scent up in the sky and small smile forms on his face.
Kohaku, Ella, Inuyasha, and his companions looked up at sky, noticing a large figure coming down from the sky.
"Wait, isn't that," Shippo being to recognizes the large figure.
"A-Un," Kohaku recognizes the large figure as it got closer.
"Lord Sesshomaru," a squeaking voice called out.
A-Un landed in front of Sesshomaru. Jaken got off of A-Un and bow his head down in front of Sesshomaru "Mi Lord, I came here to give you the antidote".
Sesshomaru slowly step forward "The antidote you say".
"Yes Mi Lord,' Jaken got up "Here is the antidote," He shows the antidote in his hands to his master.
Sesshomaru was surprised A-Un and Jaken came with the antidote which mean that Saige succeed. However, something was not right and it was bothering Sesshomaru. If Saige succeed in getting the antidote then why didn't she bring the antidote to him instead? Knowing Jaken, he would never come here if he wasn't given any order. Saige must have ordered Jaken to come here?
"Did something happen to Saige?" Sesshomaru wondered "I can smell Saige's blood scent of Jaken".
"Jaken," the dog demon spokes. "Where is Saige?"
Jaken uneasily looked at Sesshomaru "Um Saige... she...uh...well".
Sesshomaru furrowed his brows, glaring at his servant.
"Jaken." He growled impatiently.
"Master Jaken," Kohaku walked over to Jaken "Did something happen with Saige?" he asked.
Inuyasha notices Jaken was hesitated to answer and knew something was wrong. During the battle, Inuyasha felt Saige was in trouble. He wanted to go save her, but the demons were in his way. Getting impatient, he grabs Jaken by the collar of the kimono "Where is Saige, tell me know or I will pound you!" he retorted with a threatening look.
"She went to go saved Rin," Jaken answered rather quickly.
"Is that all you know," Inuyasha asked.
"Yes," Jaken replied
Inuyasha released Jaken who scurry over to his master side
"Jaken, I believe you know more. Answer me or suffer." Sesshomaru said in a low, threatening voice. The imp gasps and flinches, meeting the angered gaze from his master. Jaken quickly bows his head down "Lord Sesshomaru, please forgive me. I didn't want to defy you, but Saige made me promise not to tell," he explained.
"Tell me," Sesshomaru demanded.
"Sesshomaru," Inuyasha spokes "You should drink the antidote and then go save Rin and Saige. After that you can hear what Jaken has to say".
Usually Sesshomaru would argue back, but knowing Inuyasha is right, he drank the antidote.

The huge demon shriek when he felt the pain from his arm. Rin has slash off one of the huge demon's arm using the sword, Baksaiga. She felt the blood rushing through her body wanting to kill.
The little girl notices that Rin was injury and blooding was dripping from her arm and from the side of the stomach. She senses that the sword was clouding Rin's mind making Rin forget about the pain.
The huge demon angry lunged at Rin, knocking Baksaiga out of her hand and slashes her in the neck. Rin fell to the ground in pain. Her eyes are back to normal with confusion. Rin looked at the little girl who now was standing behind her "Stay back!" she told the little girl.
Rin looked around for the sword, Baksaiga, but it was out of her reach. The huge demon swing his arm again and was about to strike Rin and the little girl. Suddenly a blur light knock the huge demon off his feet. Rin eyes widen when she saw the blur light in front her fading away revealing Saige standing there.
"Saige?" she muttered.
"Saige!" The little girl cried out and ran over, hugging Saige's leg.
The huge demon got up and glares at Saige "YOU!" he growls "You will pay for this!"
Saige pulled out her sword and aims it at the huge demon.
The huge demon laughs "Do you actually think you can destroy me with that pathetic sword?"
"Hn," Saige smirks.
A pink energy suddenly appears and encircles Saige's sword. The huge demon eyes widen "No, impossible," he retorted.
Saige tightens her grip on the handle of her sword and the pink energy blast out at the huge demon, obliterating him.
"That was the same a pink energy of light that saved Ella, Kohaku, and me," Rin thoughts when she recognize the pink energy that destroyed the huge demon.
Saige placed her back in the sash at her waist. Then she turns and kneels down in front of the little girl "Are you okay?" she asked.
"Saige!" the little girl cried and threw her arms around Saige's neck.
Saige rubs the little girl's back "its okay Kiyomi, I'm here," she comfort the little girl.
Saige notices Rin was staring at her with confusion and also the wound on Rin's stomach and arm.
Kiyomi turns and looked at Rin. She slowly walked toward Rin and placed her small hands on Rin. A light appears from Kiyomi's hand and heal Rin injury. Then Kiyomi lets go and back away.
"Thank you," said Rin who was grateful that Kiyomi heal.
Suddenly a rustles sound was heard and Saige was quickly alert. Kiymoi hide behind Saige, trembling.
Saige touches Kiyomi on the head "It's okay, we are not in danger" she reassured.
Sesshomaru appears with A-Un, Jaken, Ella, and Kohaku following behind him. Rin got up and was surprised to see him "Lord Sesshomaru," she muttered.
He walked up to Saige "Are you okay?" he asked; receive a surprise look from Rin, Jaken, Ella, and Kohaku.
Saige nodded "I'm fine," she told him.
Few minute later Inuyasha appears with his companion. Kagome and Sango notices Kiyomi and walked over to her. Inuyasha walked up to Saige "Saige, are you alright?"
"I'm okay, it was nothing that I couldn't handle," she simply replied.
Sesshomaru looked at Saige condition and notices she was injury badly at her stomach and arm "You're hurt".
"This wound is nothing, it will heal," she told him if she doesn't feel pain at all, but Sesshomaru knew she was lying and decides not question her more.
Rin walked over to Sesshomaru. Are you..." she started to ask.
"I'm fine Rin, my vision is okay now," Sesshomaru replied.
Tears were forming in Rin eyes "I'm glad you're alright," she told him.
Without thinking, she hugs him. It took Sesshomaru by surprised, but then he wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm glad you are okay too,' he told her.
Rin realizes what she did and quickly back away from him "I'm sorry Lord Sesshomaru".
Kagome and Sango was staring at Kiyomi who eyes were watery as if she was about to cry.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked.
Before Kagome knew, Kiyomi rushes over to Kagome, hugging her and cried.
Kagome rubbed Kiyomi's back "its okay, you're safe now," she assured.
Miroku walked over to Sesshomaru "I saw an empty hut not far from here, you, Saige, Rin, and others can stay there," he suggested.
"Let's go," Sesshomaru told Jaken and Rin.
Jaken and Rin follow Sesshomaru with Kohaku and Ella right behind them.
Rin was next to Sesshomaru while Saige was behind them. Rin felt someone was touching her hand. She looked down at her hand and saw Sesshomaru was holding it. A light blush appears on her face, but she didn't pull her hand back. Instead she let Sesshomaru hold her hand.
Inuyasha walked over to Sango and Kagome "We need to follow them. I want to make sure Saige is okay".
Kagome nodded "Okay".
Sango got up and went over to Miroku.
Inuyasha notices Kiyomi was suddenly looking at him with her gold eyes "Hey! Why are you looking at me?" he asked.
Instead replying, Kiyomi ran over to him and hugs one of his legs.
"Hey, what are you doing?" He was shock by the little girl reaction.
