Kouga stepped into the room he now shared with Inuyasha, the hanyou was still lying face down ont he bed, his tight and lightly tanned rear still showing a slight tinge of pink. Sniffing, Kouga determine by the relaxed scent that Inuyasha was asleep.

He gently shook him, "Inuyasha?"

"Mm? Whatta ya want? To beat me again?" Inuyasha pulled away slightly, yanking up his jeans as he sat.

"I didn't beat you. I spanked you and theres a difference, koi. Don't tell me your father hasn't taken you over his knee a few times in your life?" He scoffed at the idea of that never having happened.

"Yeah, he did." Inuyasha blushed crimson at the answer. "What's that got to do with you doing it?"

"Cause, it's my job as the dominant one in this relationship to make sure you don't get off on the wrong foot." he explained as gently as he could, pulling Inuyasha closer to him. He was suprised that Inuyasha was not resistant and accepted the embrace. "I still love you."

"I know." Inuyasha sighed, no longer willing to hide it. "I -- think I can learn to love you too."

"I can accept that," Kouga said with a grin. "But you will learn to obey me because I do these things for your own good."

Inuyasha only sighed in defeat, he had thought having a mate would buy him some freedom. Instead, it had chained him down even more. Suddenly, his face was being lifted and Kouga's lips were over his. The wolf's tongue pressed it's way through his lips and caressed Inuyasha's softly.

It was Inuyasha who attempted to deepn the kiss, only to have it pulled away. Kouga shook his head, "No, not right now. I have to find your father and Naraku. You stay here and out of trouble."

"He's my father and--"

"And your staying here!" Kouga said firmly, his eyes narrowed slightly. The moon's pull on his youkai blood drew him to hurry.

Leaving Inuyasha behind, he was able to pick up Inutashio and Sesshoumaru's scent with very little trouble. It was mixed with the stench of blood and foul aura-- Naraku.

On the other side of the now opened well, Naraku smirked, his tentacle waving tauntingly behind him as he stood inside the pink barrier, Sounga in his hands. "What will you do now, Inutashio? I have your precious Sounga, and Tenseiga will not defeat it. Not even the Tetsaiga that you hold in your hand will defeat the power of the demon sword, Sounga."

"What is it that you want, Naraku?" Inutashio growled, his fangs starting to grow. "What is it that you want from my family?"

"I want revenge! I want to rule this land and with you alive I cannot. Do not flatter yourself, Lord Inutashio. You are not the only demon's I wish to erradicate, only the first." Naraku's tone was cool and forced. Inutashio knew he had no hope of reasoning with this power-mad demon.

"Where is my mother and Kagura?" Sesshomaru snapped, eyes hard as amber stone. He felt his father stiffen beside him, Inutashio half ashamed that he had not worried about Tsubaki sooner. His concern had been for his son's mate and his sword since tsunade was out of town. This angered Sesshoumaru but this was not the time for his anger to take over his good sense.

Naraku grinned evilly, then turned to the craggy mountain behind him, nodding for the male demon at the cave door to bring out the hostages. Tsubaki was dead, Inutashio and Sesshoumaru smelled the thick cloud of death around her as soon as her body touched the open air. Sesshoumaru crouched and dove for Naraku, his father helpless to stop him. But even Sesshoumaru could not break the barrier and bounced off like a rubber ball.

Snarling, he looked at Inutashio. "What the Hell is with that barrier-- it's almost like yours.."

"That's because it is mine." Inutashio sighed in defeat. "Many years ago we had this same battle-- I traded him my barrier for Sounga's return-- I had no idea that when we went back in time that he would retain it."

"Went back in time? What the Hell are you talking about?" Sesshoumaru yelled.

"Sesshoumaru--" Inutashio didn't know how to explain about a misspoken wish and the jewel-- he wasn't sure where to start.

The younger demon stared at his father in utter disbelief. Inutashio waved him still, "This is not the time to discuss this."

Out of the blue a bolt of green light plowed into Naraku's bubble, nearly knocking him out of it. When the dust from the mountain subsided, an eight-foot tall wolf stood glaring at the spider demon, his fangs glistening. Naraku shot a tentacle towards the ookami only to have it violently ripped off, blood and miasma spread quickly around him. But in this form, Kouga was unphased by the miasma. Seeing that his wrath had turned on Kouga, Inutashio and Sesshoumaru took the chance to race into the cave, Sesshoumaru slaying the gaurd with one swipe of his poisionous claws.

Kagura was crouched by the back of the cave with Rai-len who whined slightly when he saw more demons coming towards him. Sesshoumaru spoke in a tone far gentler than Inutashio had ever heard him use, he called Kagura's name slightly.

"Sessh-" She rose, pushing Rai off her and jumped into his arms, burying her face into his silk shirt. "You came-- I was afraid you wouldn't make it. He killed Tsubaki--"

"Yeah-- it's okay..come on lets get you out of here." Sesshoumaru looked to his father for direction, his clawed hand going protectivly to Kagura's slightly swollen belly.

Inutashio looked at the ookami who regarded him with scared eyes. "And you would be?"

"Rai-len, sir. I am Kouga's nephew," he replied softly. "Is he here?"

"Yeah, come on." Inutashio grabbed the ookami cub without further adue and headed for the door of the cave.

Gypsy let herself into the Akimira mansion. Ginta and Hakaku had returned reeking of blood and telling fantastic storis about the leader of a rogue street gang along with several dozen members killed at Kouga's hand and left in a puddle of their own blood. In their panic they had lost his scent, and so alarmed, Gypsy went on the prowl.

She found Kouga's scent with little trouble, and followed it to the Akimira house. Inside she found Inuyasha heading out the back patio door. "Where the Hell is everyone?"

He shrugged, "Who let you in?"

"I let myself in. Where's Kouga?" She demanded, eyeing the mark that was exposed through the ripped out collar of the tank top Inuyasha wore.

"I don't know. I'm going to find out."

"You're his mate now." Gypsy smiled, winking at the hanyou. "He made a good choice."

"Aren't you his cousin?" Inuyasha paused and turned to face her, slightly intrigued by her deep blue eyes.

"Well not really. It's only cause my mother mated someone related to him-- far to complicated to explain. Still, I think of him as a brother and if he's in danger I wanna know." Gypsy's voice held a no nonsense air that made Inuyasha think of his mother.

"He went after Naraku. Naraku took my brother's mother, and his own daughter hostage. I think he may have Kouga's nephew with him as well." Inuyasha turned to jump up on the patio railing, looking back at Gypsy as he balanced. "Coming?"

She winked, jumping over in front of him and heading in the direction of the scent...

Naraku smiled at kouga, "You are mated to Inutashio's son-- therefore you are related to the family. Kukukuku, that means you cannot break through this barrier. It is impeneatrable to anyone related to Inutashio."

"Damn you," Kouga said in a low droning growl that seemed tog row as he grew angrier. Suddenly a flash of light caught his attention, "Damn you, Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha had fallen quite literally from the sky, slashing his claws across the barrier, "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!"

Naraku merely turned to look up at him, "Fool! You cannot penetrate your father's own barrier!"

"My father's-- what the--" He looked at Kouga for answers.

Kouga had shifted shapes just as Inuyasha appeared, mostly to tongue lash him. "Anyone related to your father cannot break through the barrier. And so now-- we're stuck."

"You're not related to me!" Inuyasha stared at Kouga with a 'well duh' look on his face.

"I'm mated to you dumbass!" Kouga threw his hands up in the air.

"Stand back!" Gypsy was starting to glow a bright neon blue. Kouga grabbed his mate and pulled him to the left in his haste nearly falling over.

Inutashio and Sesshoumaru, not knowing what was coming but unwilling to risk it, dove into the cave for saftey. Inuyasha looked up from his seat on the ground at Kouga for answers, but Kouga's eyes were locked on the lovely ookami bitch who was now enclosed in her own glowing ball of blue light. Lightning bolts traced the outer edge of the orb that surrounded her, her hair moved inside the ball as if there was wind inside it. Gypsy raised her hands, a tiny pink ball appearing in her palms.

"What are you doing?" Naraku's eyes began to widen in shock, yet he couldn't tear his eyes away from the sight before him.

Gypsy looked up, smiling sweetly at the spider hanyou before raising the ball to her lips and blowing. Pink light shot from the ball and through the blue orb around her, making a blinding purple flash that roared like wind and thunder when it tore its way through the space between she and Naraku. Lightning in blue and aqua ravaged the air around her, bouncing off the pink barrier that surrounded Naraku until there was a sound like shattering glass-- and the barrier shattered...
