I do not own Inuyasha or anything related to it.

Inuyasha held onto Kairi's hand tightly as he led her through the metallic hallways of Sublevel Three. The first two Sublevels held no proof of the girls being there, or anyone for that matter, except for the fact that computers were still running programs from earlier in the night. Kairi looked around at the room, her hands shaking in Inuyasha's. Although there had been few guards in the first two Sublevels, Inuyasha refused to wander carelessly through the remaining floors.
"Come on, there's gotta be something of use here." Inuyasha throughly searched the room, but found nothing that would help him in anyway. "Kairi, I want you to stay here. I'll come back for you once I find Mitsuki." She began to shake her head, but Inuyasha stopped her. "I'll come back sweetheart. Lock the door when I leave. And if anyone comes in here besides me, run. Just run and I'll find you." He kissed her cheek softly then darted from the room. He shut the door and waited for Kairi to lock the door. Hearing the bolt of the door slam shut, he treaded down the hall slowly. His shoes clicked against the metallic walkway, shouldering the AR-15 as he rounded a corner. A soldier stood against the wall with his back to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha had two choices, fire at the soldier or try to sneak up on him, although firing at him seemed very appealing. Inuyasha took aim at the man and fired a single round hitting the soldier in the neck. Inuyasha charged forward blindly, as the shot attracted the attention of nearby soldiers. Inuyasha opened fire on them as soon as they came into view, dropping the soldiers before they could realize they were getting shot. He had to duck behind a cart of chemicals as a barrage of bullets came thundering from behind him. "Damnit, these bastards never end. Where the hell could they be keeping Mitsuki?" He slammed a new clip into the AR-15, then dashed ahead, keeping his head low and into a new room. He slammed the door shut and took a deep breath, resting his head against the door.
"Glad you could join us, Inuyasha." A voice rang out from behind him. Inuyasha turned quickly, holding the AR-15 at his shoulder. He was met with a dozen AR-15s aimed directly at him, and behind the group of soldiers was General Simmons. "We've been waiting for you, Inuyasha."
"Oh yeah? Took you long enough." Inuyasha growled in response, "Where are my friends?"
"They're here somewhere. Why do you seek to destroy everything I've worked for Inuyasha."
"What're you talking about?"
"I know you came here to destroy all my work and take the virus for yourself." General Simmons stepped forward, he towered over everyone else in the room, but even that didn't itimidate Inuyasha.
"So you made all this crap happen? What kind of sick fuck are you?"
"It's for the good of the world, Inuyasha. I must purge the world of all its sins so it can be born anew." General Simmons started at Inuyasha with evil eyes.
"How is killing everyone for the good of the world? And who are you to decide the fate of every person on the planet!?"
"I will be the God of the new world. The sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood, and Japan was only the beginning. It's a shame you won't live long enough to see any of it." Simmons motioned for the guards to take aim. Inuyasha gulped loudly.
"Just answer me one question, General."
"And what would that be?"
"What'd you do with my friends?"
"Your friends were brought down here for testing. Matsu's blood proved useless to me, but Mitsuki, oh sweet Mitsuki, her blood was a treasure. You see, Mitsuki is immune to the virus, which made her a very rare specimen."
"She's immune?" Inuyasha whispered to himself, "Of all the people, it had to be her."
"Are you ready to die Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha nodded slowly. There was no way out for him, it was the end of the line for him. Immediately, his mind filled with thoughts and images of Kagome and their unborn child. Inuyasha dropped to his knees, and for the first time in years, Inuyasha cried. "I'm sorry Kagome..."
"Ready."
Inuyasha clenched his fist tightly, "I love you, Kagome."
"Aim."
Inuyasha shut his eyes and waited to be killed in this evil and desolate place. Then, the shots came, but they weren't directed at him. Inuyasha opened his eyes and saw a figure standing in the catwalks above them firing down at the soldiers. With their attention off of him, Inuyasha grabbed his AR-15 and ducked behind some kind of machine. He began to fire upon the soldiers blindly, sticking only the rifle out from behind his cover.
"Kill them!" Simmons yelled at the soldiers being decimated by the two lanes of gunfire. Inuyasha reloaded the clip of the AR-15, and spotted Simmons but as he fired at him a shot hit him in the shoulder, causing his fire to go wide. Inuyasha yelled out in pain as blood trickled down his arm and hand. The person on the catwalk was still firing down at the soldiers when an explosion rocked the room. A canister of flammable liquid burst causing extreme damage to anything that was within 30 feet of it.
"Run! Get out of here!" It was a man's voice and it was coming from the person on the catwalk. Inuyasha looked up at the man on the catwalk, who still fired at the remaining soldiers. "Quit gawking and get moving!"
Inuyasha nodded, grabbing his AR-15 with his uninjured arm and darted from the room quickly. He dashed frantically down the halls back to the room where he had left Kairi. As he approached it, he realized the door had been shot open.
"Inuyasha!" It was Kairi and it was coming from further down the hall. Inuyasha ran with everything he had. Her screams grew louder as he got further down the hall, as he neared a junction of hallways, he saw her run by.
"Kairi!" Inuyasha charged forward and ran into a man that had been chasing her. Inuyasha tackled him against the wall, punching the man's gut with everything he had. The man elbowed him in the back, dropping Inuyasha to a knee, but Inuyasha kept hitting the man even as he rose. Inuyasha scored two blind uppercuts to the man's chin, before getting a hook across the jaw. The man grunted and pushed Inuyasha away. Inuyasha rolled forward bringing his AR-15 up to the man, who was holding a weapon of his own.
"Inuyasha?"
It took awhile for the daze to where off, but when it did, he came face to face with his brother, "Sesshomaru?" The two stared at each other for a moment, unable to believe the other was alive. "What're you doing here?"
"I came here looking for help, but when I arrived I realized I wasn't going to get any, but I heard Mitsuki over one of the guard's radios so I came here to find her." Sesshomaru lowered his glock, and Inuyasha lowered his AR-15.
"Where are the the others?"
"I sent them to City Hall. There's an extraction for the guards there in exactly-"Sesshomaru looked at his watch, "Four hours. We need to get out of here."
"I can't leave without Mitsuki and Matsu." Inuyasha ran his hand through his hair.
"Inuyasha..." Sesshomaru's voice became soft, "Matsu is dead. I'm sorry. There was nothing I could do."
Inuyasha lowered his head but nodded. "I still need to find Mitsuki."
"I heard she was taken to Sublevel Four, but with both of us wandering around, I doubt they kept her there."
"Inuyasha?" The soft voice of Kairi came from behind Inuyasha, who immediately ducked back behind the wall when she spotted Sesshomaru.
"It's okay, Kairi. Come here." Inuyasha beckoned her towards him. She left the cover of the wall, keeping an eye on Sesshomaru.
"You know this girl?" Sesshomaru asked staring at the small child hiding behind his brother.
"I met her after I left the city with the girls. She was alone so I brought her with us." Inuyasha turned to Kairi, "Kairi, I'd like you to meet my brother Sesshomaru." Kairi stepped out from behind Inuyasha and looked up at Sesshomaru. His stone expression instantly faded away as a smile crept across his face.
"Hi, Kairi. Sorry for scaring you back there. I was only chasing you so I could help." Sesshomaru apologized to the girl.
"It's okay." Her soft voice warmed Sesshomaru's heart.
"We need to go. We still have to find Mitsuki and get to City Hall. Who knows what kind of sh-" Sesshomaru cut himself short and looked at Kairi, "Things the others are going through."
"Well, let's get a move on then." Inuyasha said, taking Kairi's hand. He led Kairi towards the elevator with Sesshomaru beside them. With only, four hours left until evac, things were coming down to the wire, and Inuyasha was beginning to doubt they would actually escape the city.
Miroku held his shotgun against his shoulder as he led the others through the destroyed city streets to City Hall. It had been two hours since Sesshomaru had left them to head to the Police Station. Sango was beside him, followed by Kagome and Rin with Kohaku and Kusano bringing up the rear. They hadn't encountered much trouble since leaving Sesshomaru, only a few carriers had crossed their paths and they were easily disposed of.
"How much further, Miroku?" Rin asked, holding onto Kagome's arm.
"I'm not sure. I've only been to this city once before, but I'm pretty positive it'll be obvious once we get close." Miroku stated lowering his shotgun as they neared an intersection.
"Hey, quiet." Kohaku whispered looking behind him at three carriers that stumbled into the street. They gazed at the carriers as they dumbly staggered through the street. "I think we're ok-" But Kohaku stopped when one of the carriers, turned and looked directly at them. To everyone's surprise, the carrier began running at them.
"What the fuck!?" Miroku stepped forward and fired his shotgun at the carrier, knocking it off it's feet. "Go!" Miroku pushed the others forward, breaking into a sprint as the other carriers spotted them.
"Why the fuck are they running? They've never done that before!" Kohaku yelled as they ran down the street, with City hall coming into view. It was about another 15 blocks away. City Hall was a towering skyscraper in the center of the city, almost the entire building was made of glass, and at the very top were large spotlights.
"Just keep running!" Miroku yelled back, turning to fire another slug quickly. Sango darted around another corner and through a buidling, hoping it would slow down those things. As they exited the building, Miroku ran behind a dumpster and waited for the monsters to appear. He took aim at the door and fired a slug as the first carrier appeared in the doorway, taking it's head clean off its shoulders. Miroku killed the following two rather quickly, letting out a sigh of relief as he joined the others.
"Well, that was new." Miroku stated calmly. Kohaku just stared at him.
"Are you fucking kidding me? Those things can fucking run and all you have to fucking say is 'that was new'?" Kohaku growled at him through clenched teeth. Anger rose up in Miroku then he pushed Kohaku against the brick wall, holding him by his collar with one hand.
"Don't fucking get mad at me. I didn't do anything of this shit. I understand you're stressed, but we're all fucking stressed! You're not the only one that's had to deal with this bullshit!" Miroku pushed Kohaku away from him and stared at him angrily, he huffed then marched ahead of the group without looking back to see if they would follow. Sango looked at her brother and shook her head.
"What was that about Kohaku?"
"I-I don't know. I just kinda lost it. This world is fucking me up." Kohaku dropped his head as they followed Miroku.
Kagome jogged to Miroku's side, placing a hand on his shoulder, "Are you okay, Roku?"
"Yeah, I'm just irritated. I want to get out of here already." Miroku turned his head away. It was obvious to Kagome that there was something bothering him, but she refused to bring it up until a better time.
"We'll get out of here. We just have to make it up City Hall before dawn. We still have time." Kagome smiled at him cheerfully.
"Yeah, you're right. We should get a move on though. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can get ready for Sesshomaru to return." Kagome nodded and the group began to jog towards the enormous City Hall tower.
Sesshomaru peeked around the corner as they exited the elevator onto Sublever Four. Everything seemed calm, but they knew better. They had a war waiting for them somewhere. Inuyasha brought up the rear with Kairi ahead of him, just behind Sesshomaru. For now, all was quiet in the facility just under the police station, but Inuyasha still held the AR-15 to his shoulder.
"Any idea where she would be Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked turning around to make sure they weren't being followed.
"I saw a camera showing her on this level, but they've probably moved her already. We'll do a quick sweep of this floor then get out of here. We still have to get to City Hall." Sesshomaru waited for his agruement but it never came. Inuyasha only nodded in agreement.
"I've been meaning to ask you. Is Kagome still-"
"Alive? Yes, she is."
A feeling of relief washed over Inuyasha, "That's good."
"She thought you were dead, we all did." Sesshomaru stated as he pushed open the door to a small room. Immediately, he recognized the room as the one Mitsuki was in earlier, but she was gone.
"I'm surprised I'm not dead, to be honest." Inuyasha gazed around the room. It looked like an operating room, various equipment lay around, dirty with dried blood stains on them.
"Mitsuki was in this room earlier. We can't keep looking, Yash we have to go now."
Inuyasha nodded and trudged back into the hall, but was instantly greeted by gunfire. Quickly, Inuyasha dove back inside the small room, clutching at his right leg that had been grazed by a bullet. He growled and stuck his AR-15 out, and fired blindly. Kairi screamed and covered her ears, while Sesshomaru looked around for something that could possibly get them out of this situation.
Kairi stumbled towards one of the lockers and popped it open. There was what looked like a gun to her, but it was really big and heavy. Below it were small cylinder rounds the size of her hand. "Sesshomaru?"
"Yes, sweetheart?" He hadn't turned to look at her as he fired out the door while Inuyasha reloaded his rifle.
She pointed inside the locked, "Could this possibly help?" Sesshomaru turned to look at her, and saw the grenade launched she had discovered.
"Oh, babygirl. You're a lifesaver." He smiled and ruffled her hair as he walked by. He took the grenade launcher into his hands and quickly popped in one of the rounds into the tube. Sesshomaru grinned to himself, then walked over to the door. Inuyasha saw what he was holding and immediately moved away from the door as he fired the grenade. The room shook as the grenade exploded at the end of the hall, chunks of the wall shot down the hall nearly hitting Sesshomaru as he ducked back inside the room.
"I think we're good to go now." Sesshomaru said with a wide smile. Inuyasha nodded with agreement. They moved from the room quickly back towards the elevator. They had to get out of the police and get to City Hall in the next two hours. Time was now their enemy along with every soldier still in the police station and the stumbling abominations out in the city streets. Although, everything seemed grim, they refused to give up, and with Sesshomaru at his side, Inuyasha has a new found confidence that was ready to obliterate everything in his path to get back to Kagome.
I'm coming, Kagome. Just hold on. Inuyasha thought to himself as they entered the elevator and pushed the Basement level button. I'm coming.

"Oh yeah? Took you long enough." Inuyasha growled in response, "Where are my friends?"
"They're here somewhere. Why do you seek to destroy everything I've worked for Inuyasha."
"What're you talking about?"
"I know you came here to destroy all my work and take the virus for yourself." General Simmons stepped forward, he towered over everyone else in the room, but even that didn't itimidate Inuyasha.
