Turtlequeen2: Hey we’re back. And I mean “we,” I mean it. Vbollman is back as well!
Vbollman: Yea, sorry, my computer completely crashed…*growls*
Turtlequeen2: Anyways…
Turtlequeen2 & vbollman: We would like to give thanks to the reviewer: Stephanie2981!
Turtlequeen2: Perhaps Sesshoumaru is interested in using Tenseiga to help out your computer problem…
Sesshoumaru: Humph. This Sesshoumaru will not waste his energy on such trivial matters such as this “computer” you speak of.
Vbollman: *sighs* It was worth a try…
Turtlequeen2: *whispers* He probably has no idea what a computer is…
*Sesshoumaru glances towards Turtlequeen2 and vbollman*
Turtlequeen2: Ack! He caught us! O.O We do not own Inuyasha and no matter how many times vbollman says she owns Sesshoumaru, she doesn’t. Rumiko Takahashi owns both of them…

Chapter 6
Hakudoushi Vs. Sesshoumaru and Kagura’s Idea
Sesshoumaru stood his ground, staring coldly at Hakudoushi. Wind whipped through the area, making their hair and kimonos flap lightly in the breeze, being the only movement in the vicinity. The incarnation smirked lightly and was prepared for his attack. With quick precision, the stoic lord zipped and appeared in front of the boy within a blink of an eye, swinging Toukijin at his head. Hakudoushi easily hit his spear against the blade, energy sparks flying from the two weapons. The incarnation back-flipped out of Sesshoumaru’s reach and landed a few feet away.
“Hmm…this isn’t like you at all Sesshoumaru-sama,” Hakudoushi remarked, in a taunting manner. “I sense conflicting in your mind. So do you care for Kagura or not?”
“Lowly youkai such as yourself cannot begin to fathom the mind of This Sesshoumaru,” the lord growled out.
“I beg to differ.” He blocked off another strike from Toukijin. “Your heart is slowly conforming to affections from Kagura. I never knew it was possible.”
Sesshoumaru did not respond to that, not letting Hakudoushi know the affect his words were having on him. “You’re a nuisance,” he only stated. With his next attack, he put forth most of his energy and managed to slice the incarnation apart.
Hakudoushi smirked, with only his head floating in the sky. His barrier quickly surrounded him. Sesshoumaru was smart enough to know that any further attacks would be for naught.
“Sesshoumaru, know that I shall withdraw for now. Be aware that I really am disappointed. To think that the Great Sesshoumaru would be brought down by an incarnation of Naraku,” Hakudoushi laughed and with that, disappeared in a cloud of miasma.
Sesshoumaru slid Toukijin back into his sash and turned his back on the path, with no emotion showing on his face. “That fool. Kagura is only another annoying wench to me,” he muttered. However, in his mind, he knew that it was not true. ‘Was Hakudoushi right? Am I really softening for that woman? That notion is truly ludicrous.’
His thoughts were put to halt when he heard the familiar calls of his ward and servant.
“Sesshoumaru-sama,” both Jaken and Rin called out at the sight of their lord. The young girl was riding on Au-Un and Jaken was pulling on their reigns.
“Are you alright milord,” Jaken croaked. Sesshoumaru did not answer, but instead kept walking forward.
“Milord,” Jaken called again.
Rin tapped him on the shoulder. “Perhaps it’s not best to bother Sesshoumaru-sama,” she suggested in a whisper, forgetting that Sesshoumaru could clearly hear both of them.
“Of course I know that, you insufferable child,” Jaken yelled, agitated.
Their lord kept walking on in silence, letting his combating thoughts take over his attention.
******With Kagura******
Sesshoumaru was not the only one with conflicting thoughts. Kagura was currently flying on her giant feather, heading towards Inuyasha’s group. She knew that Sesshoumaru didn’t tell Inuyasha about their discussion from the previous night.
‘Dammit, Naraku is watching my every move,’ she cursed in her mind, catching the glimpse of Saimyoushou beside her. ’Was I wrong about him being gullible? Unless Hakudoushi has something to do this!’ Her eyes widened at that. ’Damn it all! I forgot about that brat! With his mind reading skills, he probably already knows about me and Kanna’s plans.’
“I’ll just get this over with…” she sighed. ’Then perhaps I’ll pay Sesshoumaru another visit, after I get rid of these bastards.’ She glared at the pestering insects around her.
She spotted the group from below and placed a smirk on her face. She jumped off her feather.
******With Inuyasha’s Group******
The Inu-Tachi were rushing to the location that Kagura indicated. Inuyasha showed no sign of stopping until he suddenly came to a halt. He growled, catching a familiar scent. Miroku and Sango hopped off of Kirara in confusion.
“Inuyasha? Why did you stop,” Kagome asked.
“Keh! I smell Naraku,” he responded, his hand on the hilt of Tessaiga. Kirara let out a growl, still in her big form.
Then out of nowhere, the wind witch drops out of the sky and lands. The hanyou jumped back in surprise, but stood his ground.
“Yo,” Kagura simply said.
“Now, what do you want, bitch,” the hanyou snarled.
“Thanks for the greeting,” she said with sarcasm. She tapped her newly acquired fan to her chin as if in thought. Instead of the usual magenta design on it, it had blue stripes. “I have more news for you.”
“What the hell is it now,” Inuyasha demanded.
“It seems that Naraku wants me to stop you here.”
“What--?” Her wind blades cut him off and he jumped back from the impact of them. “Damn you,” he cursed. He brought out Tessaiga.
“Keh! Did you forget that you’re no match for me anymore?!”
“I don’t know. I got a new fan and I want to try it out. What better than on a hanyou such as yourself,” she smirked. In her mind, she was worried as hell. ‘Ok, I gotta make this look convincing.’
“KAZE NO KIZU,” Inuyasha shouted, bringing down the transformed fang. The yellow sparks of energy whipped out and flowed out from the sword, towards her. She easily jumped out of the way with the help of the wind.
Kagura quickly looked around to see if there was some way to get her message across. Noticing that Inuyasha was not as close to Kagome as he usually was, she decided to see if she could grab hold of the miko without getting killed.
The wind witch threw her feather in the air and made it transform into its giant form. She quickly made a grab for Kagome and succeeded with little effort. Sango and Miroku were too slow in stopping her with the wind on her side. She hopped onto her feather.
Inuyasha glared up at Kagura and snarled,” What the fuck are you trying to do?” He held up Tessaiga in a threatening manner, but knew that using the Kaze no Kizu again, would hit Kagome too. The miko screamed in protest, but Kagura gripped onto her tightly.
She whispered in the woman’s ear,” Stop struggling or I’ll really kill you. I have something I need you to tell the others.”
Kagome immediately shut up at that. “W…what do you want to tell me?”
“You need to convince Inuyasha to join forces with Sesshoumaru.” Kagome’s eyes popped wide open.
“WHAT,” she shouted.
“Quiet bitch,” she growled. “We’re being watched.” Kagome nodded her head dumbly. “Kagome you must believe me. I’m only trying to protect Inuyasha’s secret. The only one who is going to be strong enough to protect him at the moment is Sesshoumaru. Now I need to make this convincing to Naraku…”
“Alright,” Kagome agreed.
Taking a quick look around, she pretended to gloat at the look of utter frustration on Inuyasha’s face. Deciding to take advantage of it, she began to taunt Inuyasha a little.
“What’s the matter hanyou? Afraid you’re going to hurt your little human mate,” she spoke loudly to Inuyasha, trying to convince the Saimyoushou, hiding about. Inuyasha, in turn, growled loudly at her.
“Me and Houshi-sama will go after Kagura,” Sango said, getting on Kirara with Miroku. The hanyou nodded. The trio took to the sky and Sango held up her boomerang bone. “HIRAIKOTSU,” she shouted, throwing her weapon. Kagome let out a little “eep” as Kagura’s feather dodged the attack. Sango threw her friend an apologetic glance, before catching Hiraikotsu.
“Sango what the hell are you trying to do? We want her intact ya know,” Inuyasha shouts from the ground. The taijiya sighed heavily.
“I’m trying to do that best I can. It’s sort of hard with Kagura’s wind powers,” Sango defended, looking down at the hanyou.
“Kagura, what are you intending to do with Kagome-sama,” Miroku demands, about to use his staff as defense.
“Annoying humans,” Kagura shouted, sending weak wind blades toward them. They weren’t at her full power, but they were still dangerous to get hit by. Kirara was quick to dodge them. “Listen, before I make Inuyasha really mad, Naraku is planning to trap you all, he wants you to stay away from Sesshoumaru. You need to get to him fast, otherwise Naraku will win,” Kagura whispered to Kagome again.
“I’ll try to convince him, but it’s not gonna be easy,” Kagome admitted honestly. Kagura nodded and prepared to pull off the finishing touch. To make it believable, the wind witch smirked at Kagome. The poor miko was unsuspecting to the next thing that happened to her.
Kagura pushed her off of her feather rather roughly. Kagome screamed as she went down, squeezing her eyes shut as she fell. Inuyasha dropped Tessaiga and rushed to catch her. She landed in his arms at the perfect timing and Kagura’s smirk almost turned into a smile. “Sorry I can’t stay for anymore playtime, but Naraku’s calling me.” At the mention of her master’s name, she scowled. She turned her feather in the opposite direction and sped off, ignoring the hanyou screaming obscenities at her.
Kirara landed with her two companions on her. They were all confused, Kagome especially. ‘So she really wants Naraku dead? I wouldn’t blame her though…’ She was brought out of her reverie by Inuyasha’s words.
“What the fuck was that bitch trying to do?”
Kagome gave him a glazed look. “She wants to protect your secret,” she said without really thinking.
“WHAT,” everyone demanded except her.
Shippou came out of hiding and jumped onto Kagome’s shoulder. “I was really worried about you Kagome!”
“Shippou-chan,” she exclaimed in delight. “I’m fine.”
“Wait a fucking minute,” Inuyasha yelled, extremely irate from the interruptions. “What do you mean, ‘protect my secret’?”
“You know, about your human night.”
“And how would throwing you off her feather do that,” he asked stupidly.
“Honestly Inuyasha,” Miroku broke in, “Didn’t you notice the Saimyoushou? Naraku was watching her every movement.”
Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippou’s eyes widened at that. “So that’s what she meant, that ‘we were being watched,’” Kagome murmured.
“Me and Houshi-sama caught sight of them when we were in the air,” Sango said, coming to the aid of the monk. “Kagome-chan, what exactly did Kagura say to you,” she asked, turning her attention to the miko.
Kagome’s eyes got a distant look as she thought back and tried to remember exactly what the wind witch had said. “Um…she said that Naraku was planning a trap for the New Moon. He wants to keep Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru apart but she didn’t tell me why. Only that I had to believe her and that we needed to get to Sesshoumaru because he was the only one who would be strong enough to protect Inuyasha.” Taking a deep breath, Kagome looked at the hanyou and gave him a small smile. “I believe she was telling the truth and that we need to find your brother,” she said and then took a step back as she waited for the explosion she knew would come.
There was a sudden silence, but she stood her ground. “WHAT?! ME WORK THAT BASTARD!? Are you out of your mind Kagome,” Inuyasha exclaimed, glaring at the frustrated miko.
She glared back at the stubborn hanyou. “But what if she’s right?”
“Even if she’s right - which I doubt - there’s no way in the seven hells that I’ll EVER work with him!”
“Calm down Inuyasha. If you thought it over, together, you’re strong enough to defeat Naraku,” Miroku tried to reason.
“I refuse! It’s not like he’s easily jump for joy for that idea either. He’d rather kill me and ask questions later!”
“No, that sounds like you,” Shippou muttered. Inuyasha hadn’t missed that comment and turned his glare at the kitsune.
“Say that again you brat,” Inuyasha yelled.
Shippou hid behind Kagome and the girl narrowed her eyes at him as a warning. “Don’t you even think about it,” she growled out. He huffed and crossed his arms in his haori.
“Sesshoumaru’s the only other person that knows about your human nights. Unless you’d rather want Kouga to work with us…” Sango trailed off.
“Don’t even bring him into the conversation,” Inuyasha shouted.
Sango pulled Hiraikotsu closer to her side, as she glared at the hanyou. “I was only trying to help. If you would like to continue yelling at me for being worried about my friends, I’m sure Hiraikotsu would love to help convince you,” she growled at Inuyasha. The hanyou mentally cringed, but still stubbornly scowled back.
“If Naraku is planning on something for the New Moon you need to be some where safe,” Kagome explained.
“And you think my brother’s care would be safe?! Are you out of your mind,” Inuyasha demanded.
“O-SU-WA--” Kagome warned.
“Keh,” he said stubbornly.
“OSUWARI!” And down the persistent hanyou went.
He growled out,” Baka wench,” into the ground, earning him another sit. He got up after a few minutes, responding,” I don’t care if you have to send me to hell with those incantations! I am not allying with Sesshoumaru!”
She smirked. “I think I can try! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI!” After Inuyasha was dizzy in a crater, she leaned down and whispered,” You either go to your brother or I’ll go to Kouga-kun.”
Inuyasha groaned out (what sounded like),” Alright dammit! Stop!”
Smiling sweetly, Kagome reached out and gently stroked one of Inuyasha’s ears. “Thank you,” she whispered softly.
Shippou, who jumped onto Miroku’s shoulder during Inuyasha’s ordeal, shuddered at the carnage. “Kagome is scary.”
“Indeed,” Miroku gulped, his eyes wide. Sango smirked, enjoying the sight before her.
******With Kagura******
Finally getting rid of the pesky insects, convincing them with her show earlier, she turned directions and sailed towards Sesshoumaru’s location. She smirked, congratulating herself on a job well done. Then out of nowhere, a scent carried in the wind that stopped her instantly. Her red eyes widened in horror. ‘Kuso! It’s Naraku’s scent!’
“Well, well Kagura. It seems that I’ve caught you in your own game,” came a voice. A barrier formed in the air in front of her and within it, stood Hakudoushi in all his glory. The incarnation smirked at his elder sister.
“What the hell do you want,” Kagura demanded, hiding the fear from her speech.
