A couple of weeks have passed, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha would go out to have a meeting with the clans trying to make out a plan for the rest of the Band of Seven and for Onigumo and his army. Prince Hikaru howled for Sesshomaru and Inuyasha to meet with him. Prince Hikaru had told them that Mukotsu has been defeated, that no one has to worry about him and his poisonous gases. Then Princess Asuna showed up with her tribe with a triumphed smile. She said that Kyokotsu was too easy to kill, that it wasn't even a challenge. Then Lord Yui showed up explaining that Onigumo's army is growing stronger and more powerful each and every day. Sesshomaru gave a firm nod and told them to gather the rest of the clans to discuss certain matters. Plans had to be made and soon everyone would take action especially since Onigumo's army is growing more powerful. But all that will change, cause Sesshomaru is having everyone train for battle as well. They are gaining each step ahead of Onigumo and he will be the one surprised by their fine army.
"Just you wait Onigumo, our army will defeat yours as ours grow even more stronger. This will be your last battle, your last breath." Sesshomaru stated as he smirked with a fire of Hell in his eyes. The rest of the clans showed up in front of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha awaiting their next order.
"Alright you guys, time to get training. We are going to work even harder to build up our strengths and cover each others weaknesses. Onigumo's army is growing stronger and more powerful. We need to be ready to throw his army off guard and take them down." Sesshomaru said as he slowly paced back and forth talking to the other clans.
"We will be the ones to take them by surprise. You guys are the strongest clans out there, everyone looks up to you to protect Tokyo. We are not about to let the people of Tokyo down. We will show them just how strong we really are, that Tokyo will once again be safe. Onigumo will fall as we rise as the protectors of Tokyo." Inuyasha stated. Everyone cheered for the two brother's.
Sesshomaru placed a hand on his brother's shoulder with a prideful grin. He was very proud of his little brother for becoming a great leader like him and their father. Sesshomaru knew how badly Inuyasha wanted to take down Onigumo, but they needed to be ready first. He also knew that Onigumo is after Kagome, which has triggered Inuyasha to become more protective and to take extra precautions. He didn't think Inuyasha would take leadership seriously, but seeing how he's been handling things with the other clans, Sesshomaru admitted to being wrong.
"We'll train hard and work hard to overthrow Onigumo. We will take back Tokyo as our home. No longer will people suffer, no longer will we serve under his laws, no longer will we give him more than what he's already took." Inuyasha finished. Everyone cheered some more. Sesshomaru crossed his arms with a grin. 'Father would've been proud of you little brother.' He thought as he looked at the sky. He looked back to the clans and walked towards them.
"Let's get started then. We'll begin with pairs and start sparring with one another. We need to know what each other's strengths and weaknesses are so that we can defend each other. We'll be watching all of you and learn each of your skills. Our strongest fighters will be in front, our defenders will be in the back so that they can help defend those without weapons, our spell casters/magic users will be in the middle, our archers will be on each side in the back with our defenders. You all are very special in your own way, and we will see to it that we defeat Onigumo and his army. We will show him the meaning of strength, we will show him that he can't control our lives, we will show him who the best really is." Sesshomaru stated. Everyone cheered.
Everyone began pairing up with different people to spar with, they all got their weapons ready. Those who didn't have weapons got in a fighting stance to ready themselves for hand to hand combat. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru watched as everyone got ready. Sesshomaru raised his hand high in the air.
"Begin!" He shouted as he brought his hand down. Everyone began training together while Inuyasha and Sesshomaru watched.
Onigumo was in his office and he was not happy about what has been going on. He found out that Bree was killed and that two of the Band of Seven were defeated. He was more pissed that his mate was killed and the worst thing was, he didn't even know who was strong enough to defeat her. A thought had came to him as he thought about the Higurashi and Takahashi siblings.
"No, no, no. They couldn't possibly be the ones that did it. There is no way that they are strong enough to even fight." He began. Then he thought some more.
"Unless... they have been training since they were pups. They are the children of powerful beings, powerful beings that were defeated by me that is." Onigumo smirked. He stood up from his chair and went to his closet. He placed his hand on the door of the closet and chanted a spell. Red light began to glow from inside the closet, then he opened the closet showing a TV screen. He turned it on and it showed his army training for battle.
"Hiro, how is my army coming along?" He asked the captain. Captain Hiro turned to face Onigumo and saluted him.
"Getting stronger and more powerful Master Onigumo. You'll be surprised what this army can do. Tokyo will be yours with an army like this. There's no way we can lose." Captain Hiro stated with a smirk. Onigumo nodded firmly.
"We better not." Onigumo growled even more as he thought about Bree. 'Somehow I think I'm in for a big upcoming battle.' He thought to himself.
Meanwhile in the Higurashi household, Kagome and Kikyo were talking to Sango, Rin, and Ayame about the battle between them and Bree. The girls were amazed by the strength that Kagome and Kikyo have showed lately.
"So what are we going to do about Onigumo and the rest of the Band of Seven?" Ayame asked. Kagome and Kikyo looked at each other and shrugged.
"Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are in a meeting right now to discuss those matters. Rin and I wanted to go with them, but they asked us to stay this time because they were going to have them train." Kagome stated.
"We could've helped whip them into shape." Rin stated with a cute little pout. Kagome chuckled.
"Oh like you whipped Sesshomaru into shape?" Sango stated with a wink. Rin blushed bright red. Ayame, Kagome, and Kikyo gasped in shock.
"Seriously Rin!?" They asked.
"Sango, you promised that you wouldn't bring it up." Rin whined in embarrassment.
"Oh, now you have got to tell us." Ayame said as she got closer. Rin rubbed her arm with a bright red face and a shy smile.
"Come on Rin give us the details and don't leave anything out." Kikyo said with a lecherous smile.
"Oh geez sis, you're starting to sound like Miroku when he has a lecherous thought." Kagome lightly nudged her sister. Everyone started laughing.
"Well, I guess the cat is out of the bag now." Rin began saying. Everyone leaned in close to listen to her story. She chuckled shyly and held out her hands.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. Just give me a little space would ya." She stated. Everyone backed away some sitting in a circle.
"Well, it happened just a few days ago..." Rin began to say. Just then, the power of the house went out and the girls gasped.
"What the...?" Kagome stated as she began looking around.
"What's going on?" Ayame stated as she stood up with a growl. The girls stood up and stayed together.
"Stay close and stay behind me." Kagome stated as she began to move forward carefully. As they moved forward a loud noise caught everyones' attention which made them scatter. Kagome gasped.
"Guys wa-" A hand covered her mouth and she was pulled in close. She began to struggle, trying to get herself free from her captor. She felt a hand on her head and a males voice began to chant a spell. Kagome felt her demon powers weaken. 'No!' She thought with fear.
"Don't worry my dear, I'll take good care of you." A male's voice stated seductively. 'No! Inuyasha, help!' She thought as she felt the guy jump out a window and run off with her.
The lights came back on and everyone was silent for a bit. Kikyo gasped seeing a broken window.
"Kagome?" She asked but got no reply. Everyone looked around and saw no sign of her.
"Kagome!" Kikyo called out as she broke down in tears.
Meanwhile, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were getting everyone ready for battle and placing them where they are needed. Inuyasha's ears twitched as he heard a familiar voice. 'Inuyasha, help!'
"Kagome?" Inuyasha looked back thinking that she was behind him but she was not. He had a worried expression on his face. He closed his eyes and reached out to her using their bond.
"Kagome? Where are you?" Inuyasha asked in a worried tone.
"I don't know, I'm blindfolded. Someone broke into my house and kidnapped me, I wouldn't be able to tell you who. All I know is that the one who kidnapped me is a male and he was able to take my demon powers away." Kagome cried. Inuyasha's eyes widened. 'No!' He thought with a hint of fear. He had a pretty good idea who took her.
"Dammit! You're with the Band of Seven and I'm pretty sure the one who took you was Bankotsu." Inuyasha stated with a growl. His eyes began to glow red. He heard Kagome gasp with fear.
"I'm scared Inuyasha, please help me." Kagome pleaded as more tears fell.
"Don't worry Kagome, you know I'd always come for you. They are going to regret messing with me." Inuyasha growled. Kagome gave a small smile knowing that he always keeps his promises. He's always saved her from harms way.
"I know you will. I know you'll come for me." Kagome said softly.
"I'd fight for you Kagome." He told her softly.
"Thank you Inuyasha. Now please, hurry." Kagome pleaded. Inuyasha nodded with a stern look.
"I will." He promised. Inuyasha went to his brother.
"I've got to cut it short today brother." He stated. Sesshomaru widened his eyes in surprise.
"What?" Sesshomaru asked. Inuyasha glared at his brother.
"You are a better leader than I am anyway Sesshomaru. You'll be able to whip them into shape better than I can. I have to go after Kagome." He told him. Sesshomaru frowned worriedly.
"Is everything alright?" Sesshomaru asked. Inuyasha shook his head.
"Bankotsu broke into the Higurashi household and kidnapped Kagome." Inuyasha growled. Sesshomaru glared.
"Inuyasha you better hurry and track her down. Bankotsu loves to have his way with women." Sesshomaru warned. Inuyasha growled, his eyes glowing red.
"Believe me, I know." He growled as he began to leave. 'Don't worry Kagome, I'll save you.'
