Darkness.

That was all he saw. All around. It choked him to the point where he could feel himself gagging for air. Where was everything, everyone? Why could he not even yell out, what was going on? That's when he saw it. The flicker of light, the hope he reached for. But every time he got a little close, it would push farther away. Why couldn't he reach the light? That's when he noticed that the light was forming into something, or more like someone. That smile and those eyes, he knew them from somewhere. They warmed his heart and helped him breath easier in the darkness, but who did they belong to?

Kagome.

Kagome? Was she the owner of that face that seemed to glow. The light in his darkness? He reached out again, only to see that he had a chance to get closer. He was just about to touch her outstretched hand when he saw her cringe in pain. Her hair covered her face so he couldn't see the real amount of pain she was in, but he could see that the light that glowed around her was slowly fading. Finally she looked up and the face that he saw made his heart cringe in pain also. Her beloved face was marred with two slash marks on each cheek of her once lovely face. Her tears were of blood and some spilled from her rosy lips. He tried to grab her again, to help her make the pain go away, but all he got was nothing.

Nothing.

Again he was left in the dark.

Inuyasha woke with start. His nightmare of a dream shaking him roughly to the core. What an odd dream to have, what could it have meant? Was Kagome in some kind of danger...not that he cared much, but her sisters were still here and he knew that they would be on him if he didn't tell them of their sisters conditions. Then again, it was just a nightmare...right?

He sighed loudly and picked himself up from the soft comforts of his mother's bed. He took one more glance around the room before walking out, making sure the door closed. He quickly raked a his clawed hand through his hair. Whatever the dream meant he really hoped that it would never come true. He never wanted to see Kagome in that pain again.

He would make sure of it.

The trek back to the vampire lands was easy enough for Kagome. Grandma Suki, (she insisted to be called that), had shown her the same path her mother took, it had been a somewhat calm feeling she got while walking the old dirt road. Knowing the truth about her mother was shocking enough and it changed everything she had planned to tell her older brother. A lot of things were becoming unclear and some others more obivious. If what she thought at the moment was correct, then not only were the demon race at stake, but also her own race and family's.

After about another couple hours or so, Kagome finally made it the vampire lands. Her heart swelled at seeing her home after so long. Although shrouded in darkness, The Kingdom of Lore was really a beautiful place. The main city mirrored that of the human cities, yet with more of a dark side to it, that all vampires loved. Quickly walking to the outskirts, she could see that guards lined up every wall into the grand city. More so then usual to be more correct. Oddly enough that could only mean so many things that Kagome was sure to find out.

She fixed her self up and quickly protruded a small pendant from her pocket. It was the family crest and royals were basically forbidden to ever take it off or leave it somewhere. Without it you were just another face, no matter how much you looked like the royal family. She walked down to the main gates and looked up to the guard who's face she didn't recognize. So her brother had put out new troops, fresh meat were never that good.

"Open the gate for your princess, guard." She said in a voice that demanded respect and authority. The guard looked down to her, his eyebrow quirked upward. He then noticed the pendant glimmering from the fire light next to his post and quickly bowed.

"Your highness." He said and turned to the others. "Open the gates for Her Lady!" He boomed to the others. The gates loudly opened to reveal the road to the great city. Kagome was about to walk forth when she was stopped by the guard's voice. "Will need you an escort my Lady?" Kagome looked up to him and shook her head.

"No thank you, but I will be sure to comment on your behavior to my brother, the king." She said and winked his way. The guard blushed and looked down. He could hear the snickers from the other vampires stationed at the post and his blush deepened. "Well I must be off." Kagome finally said and walked off into the darkness. With the speed only a vampire could posses, she made it into the city in record time. Looking about, she noticed that most of the people on the streets were dressed up and looking their best, meaning only one thing...her brother was out clubbing tonight.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"So what do you think we should do?"

"We should have faith in our sister, and just wait for her, like she would have wanted us to do." Kiyko sighed to her sister. What were they supposed to? She didn't really know why her sister left. The only thing she did know and wanted to know was what was up with that surprise attack from the her kingdom? Was her brother suspecting something or becoming impatient with them, that he needed to send his own forces? Before she could think more on that, the door to the kitchen they were in opened and in stepped two of the royal princes.

"So did you find him?" Asked Sango as she looked over to them.

"He slept all night in our mother's room. Whatever happened between him and Kagome must have been big for him to sleep in that room." Miroku said, sitting himself down next to Sango. Naraku poked his head out from behind the refrigerator door.

"Do you guys think it was safe to let Kagome go like that?" Everyone looked at him questionally. He sighed and took out the gallon of milk he was holding and some cereal. "What I mean is, your brother attacked us knowing full well that you three were still here. Why would he risk your lives, or even try that, when he was the one who agreed to this mating?" The girls faces paled for a quick second, their eyes searching the other out on what to say. Miroku and Naraku noticed this and looked at each other.

"Is there something you guys are keeping from us?" Sango looked up to Miroku, guilt filling up her light brown eyes. She shifted uncomfortably in her chair.

"Um, well, there's something we need to tell you."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The music's strong bass thumped through Kagomes toes up to her head. She could see as bodies grinded against each other to the fast and sensual beats. As she passed, many of the vampires bowed in respect, their red eyes full of lust and hunger. They knew better then to touch her, so they settled for what was in front of them instead.

Kagome quickly made her way to the VIP room, where she knew her brother would be. Not having the decency or care to knock on the door first, she forcefully opened it and was disgusted to see female vampires having their way with her brother.

"Out." She calmly yet forcefully said. The females head's lazily looked up to her, she could see their eyes had turned to a bright red.

"We only listen to our master." One of the females slurred. Kagome narrowed her eyes into slits and just a tint of red could be seen.

"I said, get out!" The vampires smirked at her, as if waiting for someone else to tell them on what to do. That wasn't very long as the king himself struck his hand through one of the girl's stomachs. The other vampire screamed in horror as she saw her friend's blood and guts clenched in Onigumo's hands.

"When your princess orders you, you listen bitch." He said in a cold voice. She quickly scurried out of the room, bowing as she passed Kagome. Onigumo sneared in disgust at the blood and guts all over his arm and hand. He shook his hand in the air, and within seconds the blood and body were gone. "What a waste. So to what do I owe this grand surprise, sister?"

"What was that attack about, brother?" Kagome said her patients wearing thin. Onigumo smiled lightly and motioned for his sister to sit. She did.

"Sadly to say, you and your sisters were just taking to long for me. I told you to kill them, not fall for them." He said his own eyes starting to become dark. The fact of the matter was, Onigumo knew what was happening and he knew from the start that he would lose his sisters. It didn't matter anymore, they were either with him or against him, and he knew that right now, they were very much against him. "So tell me Kagome, what have you come here for? Other then knowing why attacked your new...family." He sneered the last part. "Or is there something more you wanted?" His brow lifted to her. Kagome growled lowly to herself, whatever her brother was up to was surely getting on her nerves.

"You knew, didn't you? You knew the whole time. I wonder, was this all part of the plan Onigumo, were we just mere pawns in your sick little game?" Onigumo chuckled loudly with malice.

"So, finally figured it out. Found out about our corrupted mother did you? Who told you, those flea ridden demons?" His voice only held disgust as he moved from his chair to stand next to Kagome. "You know nothing little girl. I'd suggest that you step off that high horse your on and learn your place. You think that you and your sister's can stop me? Think again. I am King, I have a whole race behind me. What do you have?" He smirked as an uncomfortable look passed over Kagome's face, revealing only what he only speculated. "Ah, so you don't have anyone? What happened Kagome, did the little demons see the real you? Have a little lover's spat with your mate?" His smirk turned into a twisted grin as he walked across the room to stand next a desk that he had. "Such a shame, now with what I'm going to do, I wonder...who will save you?"

Before Kagome could fully grasp what he meant, two huge demon guards walked in and quickly took hold of her arms. Kagome looked to both of them before settling her darkened gaze upon the one she called brother.

"You won't get away with this bastard." Onigumo smirked again and waved his hands for the guards to leave.

"I already have."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"So the plan was to become mates in order so that we could kill you." The young princes looked at each other, something passing between them that for now only they knew.

"We have something to tell you also." Miroku started his eyes resting upon the island top. What he had just heard Sango and Kikyo confess was not far from what they had planned either, he wondered if maybe this was some weird conencedence or if it was all planned? He looked up and was met Sango's concerned eyes. Never had a he met a woman who made him feel the way that Sango could. In just such a short time, she had captured his heart and soul. And what really made this all so unbelievable was they were sent to kill each other, not fall for the other. Fate, destiny, life, whatever you called it, sure had a way with screwing you over. "We were supposed to do the same. The plan was to get you here and by nightfall be done with you."

"Obiviously, that plan was dusted." Naraku said, trying to lighten the mood a bit. Kikyo looked to him, her eyes held with such understanding. Just as the girls were going to respond the door to the kitchen busted open and in ran a distressed Inuyasha. The guys quickly got up, ready for whatever their brother had to say.

"Inuyasha what's the matter?" Inuyasha took a second before lifting his head to the princesses. Their eyes locked and they knew exactly what the matter was.

"Kagome, s-she's in danger."

"How do you know?" Asked a frantic Sango. Inuyasha growled loudly.

"She's my mate, I feel what she feels, and right now, she's in pain. We need to help her!" The girls looked at each other before sprinting out of the room, leaving the princes to themselves.

"We'll do all we can to help." Inuyasha nodded over to his brothers.

"She'll need it."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Rin was in a quiet panic as she bemused herself with cleaning. She could feel that something just wasn't right in the air and she couldn't understand why? She hadn't heard from the girls in a while, and hoped that they were alright. But with that thought just came more of a nauseous feeling that whatever it was, they were in the middle of it.

As Rin's mind was occupied, she didn't notice opening the door to Sesshomaru's bedroom. Although he never really forbade her from coming into the room, she never really dared to go in. Knowing that, this was the all time room and it would be almost like a mission impossible to get in. Of course it wasn't, only a simple turn of the nob and boom. Her mind finally registered she was there and she quickly took in her surroundings. A plush maroon carpet met her feet. The walls a medium gold color, mostly warm and pastelish. The bed was a large king size with mahogany wood bed post, very clean and polished. She could tell just by this room, that Sesshomaru was a perfectionist. She quickly inhaled the fine scent that clung to the air, sighing dreamily as his very essence hugged her. It was a fine room and she felt very comforted by it.

"I don't recall paying you to stand around." Came the very deep, very masculine voice behind her. The hairs on her arms and neck stood up straight as she slowly turned to see the very being of her thoughts. He stood regally before her, a simple brow raised in question at her actions.

"Eh-hehe. Yea, I was just leaving." She said in a squeaky voice and nearly cursed herself out loud for sounding like a wimp. She was almost out the door, when a strong and warm hand grabbed her, pulling her back to stand in front of the king.

"When you are ready to...further our...relationship, come to me. I have a few things I would like to discuss with you." Rin looked at him with complete shock, not so much as to what he said, but because if you looked closely (which she was) you see a tint of pink brush over his cheeks. Never in wildest of dreams did she think that the demon king was able to blush.

"As you wish." She said with a small smirk, and with that was gone.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Kagome tugged hard on her chains. Even attempted to make her weapons appear, but it seemed that Onigumo put a block on her powers. Her head sank as she couldn't do anything more for herself. She wondered if anyone would notice, or if the girls were safe? Did her older brother have any more plans for them? Was this just the beginning or maybe the climax, so many questions, yet no way to answer.

"You were raised better then that, you know."

Kagome's head shot up at the voice and what she saw made her blood run cold.
