Previously:
Kikyou's eyes fell to the mirror the girl was holding before she began to feel empty. She lay down and stayed there with her eyes wide open.

"Let's go." Kagome shouted.
She grabbed the tied up arrows and the bow. Her charms and dagger were safely in her pocket. Sango's weapon was tight on her back and they ran to the wall, in the darkness.
Now:
Sesshomaru followed Airi to a beautiful hut. The front had many flowers of the light pink and blue colors. The hut was larger than the ones the humans usually had for their families. "This is the guest house. We made this for guests like yourself." Airi explained. A woman then came out with a blue and white yukata. She gave him a deep bow and Airi introduced her.
"She is the house keeper. She cleans, cooks and will look after your, um, companions." Sesshomaru nodded.
"See to it they are washed and well fed before bringing them back to me." Rin glowed when she heard that. Shippo had suspected Lord Sesshomaru was just going to leave them there, apparently he was wrong. The woman looked down at the children, still bowed, "Immediately." Sesshomaru told her when he realized she wasn't moving.
She flinched but beckoned the kids to follow her. Airi stood there as Lord Sesshomaru slipped off his shoes and entered. She bowed at his back and began to follow the woman to the baths.
Sesshomaru gave a look around; it was clean in the hut and was rid of any previous scents with herbs hanging to decorate on the walls. He gave himself a tour of the hut. He took notice of where the private bath was and the living quarters. He walked into one room with a raised futon and a stream running through it against the wall.
Two little gaps at both sides of the room where water was coming in and leaving the room, following the man made path engraved into the ground. White and gray stones bordered the stream and fig leaves danced around the holes in the walls. He kneeled down mentally admiring the idea and the craftsmanship. He dipped his hand in a realized it was extremely warm. Any human would have surly burned their hands if they would try that. He stood up and thought on why the stream was so warm, and then it occurred to him, it was a heater.
As the wall was made of stone the room would surely be cold during the night, for humans, and the stream's heat made the room warmer. He mentally complimented the person who had thought of it. Then he stopped, he was wasting time.
He then headed out of the hut searching for the girl's scent. It took him into town, near a crystal clean stream then to a hut which smelt strongly of Airi. He froze when he realized where the scent headed next.
The woman Kagome snuck out right under his nose. He gave out a loud menacing growl. Slowly a green liquid began to drip out of his fingers. With a roar and a single strike, Airi's home was blown into bits. Airi, who was watching him trace a scent, walked up to him. "Lord Sesshomaru, you have just destroyed my home."
He didn't say a word. Instead Airi watched him try to cope with what he should have been feeling at the moment. At this moment the village's purity mechanism should be attacking the Youkai Lord. She stood and watched as he stood rigidly without letting a single emotion come to his face.
The pain was excruciating. The moment the hut was shattered, Sesshomaru had begun to feel a sort of electric spark from beneath his heel, nothing really special. Airi spoke and when he didn't bother to reply, the sparks turned to lightning blowing from his feet to every corner of his body, until it hit his mind. The pain multiplied throughout his body once it attacked his head leaving him paralyzed. Finally the pain was too much and he dropped to a knee.
"The selfish act of letting go of your anger on someone's home began it, not apologizing for your actions intensified it, not feeling guilt for wrecking someone's home made it to what it is now. I am sorry for speaking rudely to you however, I felt you should know why the land w as punishing you." Airi walked up to him and placed a timid hand upon his shoulder. "I forgive you."
The words were spoken and the pain ceased. The palm disappeared from its seat on Sesshomaru's shoulder and he looked up to Airi. He nodded and stood up. "The girl, where did she go?" he asked Airi. She frowned at him but answered truthfully.
"I do not know, but it seems she left with Sango."
He nodded, "This Sesshomaru and the two others will leave by day break."
"Would you like Ah Un as well?" She asked, and Sesshomaru raised a slim eyebrow to question her. "Your father told us, long ago, that the dragon demon will stay here until you came to pick it up."
Sesshomaru seemed to think about it first. Upon realizing the traveling demon would quicken the pace by carrying the two children, he decided to bring it along. "Prepare it with whatever you please. Make sure it is ready to depart by dawn."
"Of course Lord Sesshomaru," he turned and headed to the guest house. Airi starred at her destroyed home and sighed.

"Kagura bring our guest to me." Kagura left Naraku to retrieve Kikyou. In the shadows the girl of void stepped out.
"Did you receive it Kanna?"
"Yes, her soul and memories are now in here." The mirror she was holding glistened.
"So with her memories, now you can see how her twin looks like?"
Kanna replied "Yes."
"Good, so now you can watch her in the mirror." Kanna nodded.
"But she seems to have a companion." Naraku growled out.
"Who."
The mirror shined and gave out an image of a forest and two girls running in it. "The last of the Taijiya Clan. Perfect, we can kill two bugs with one shoe.."
Kagura entered with his new corpse, "Leave me, I have some business to attend to." Kanna bowed and followed Kagura out of the room.
"Come, Kikyou." She came to him and they stood before the window staring at each other under the light of the moon. "You truly are beautiful." He took her chin and looked at her face. "Too bad you're not the only one who looks like this." His hand slid to her cheek and another took hold of her hair, "But until she is here, I'll make do with only you." And he pressed his lips against hers.

Inuyasha sat there for awhile. Kouga had run off somewhere, the warriors were leaving and it was getting late. He would need to stay somewhere soon; he didn't want to look all night so he headed back to the castle planning on telling the two lords there, that Kouga was joining the hunt.
It's still a bit short but it's longer then the last one. Also the update came quicker than the last two… right? Any ways thanks to those how gave me the names of the weapons.
