Bathump…bathump…bathump….bathump…̷ 0;

Aowin woke with a start and placed her hand over her heart. My heartbeat…it's slowing down. She frowned. I don't have much time left…I've been procrastinating too much. It's now or never.

Reaching over, she gently shook Sesshomaru. “Hmm…?” He mumbled sleepily. Aowin smiled slightly.

“Sesshomaru, it's time. We need to act now.” Sesshomaru immediately sat up, a look of worry on his face.

“Did something happen?”

“Not anything too serious, but my heartbeat is slowing down. That signals that I don't have much time left.” She sighed. “I need to complete the rest of this rhyme, but I don't know where to look.” If only Inuyasha and the others were here…Oh, how I miss them.

Sensing her train of thought, Sesshomaru sighed. “Look like we'll have to find them then.”

“What did you say?!” Aowin looked up in surprise.

“As much as I hate them, Aowin, you don't. I'm not going to keep you from your friends.”

Smiling brightly, she dove at him and hugged him tightly. “Thank you, Sesshomaru.” Now I know why I love him so much.

“I've sensed them in the area recently, so we should be able to find them easily.”

“Suddenly, a thought struck Aowin. “But…what about Mizu? It could be dangerous, and I won't be able to bear it if she is harmed!”

Sesshomaru paused to think. An idea came quickly to him. “Leave her with Serya; she will take good care of Mizu.”

Aowin smiled. “Ok then. We'll drop her off on the way.” They both rolled out of bed and got dressed, Sesshomaru wearing his normal attire and Aowin wearing simple jeans and a t-shirt.

Picking up the still sleeping Mizu, she pecked her on the forehead. “Ok, let's go.”

 

 

Serya had been happy to watch over Mizu, and after both Aowin and Sesshomaru kissed their daughter goodbye, they took off. “Do you know where they are?” She asked.

He nodded. “Yes, they are just up-” He stopped suddenly and his face darkened.

She looked at him curiously. “What is it, Sesshomaru?”

He growled. “Naraku. His smell is mixed with theirs.” Aowin's heart stopped.

“Oh no, they're fighting with him!? Come on, we have to hurry!”

A few minutes later, they burst through the trees to see Naraku and Inuyasha heatedly engaged in battle, with Miroku and Sango by his side. Kagome and Shippou were off to the side where it was safer. Seeing her friends again filled Aowin with joy, and all she wanted to do was hug them. But she knew that now was not the time for this.

When everyone finally recognized her aura, they all glanced over. “Aowin!” Kagome cried, rushing over to her with Shippou in her arms.

“It's Aowin!” Miroku and Sango shouted happily.

Naraku smirked. “So the little wench has finally come. Thinks are going to be interesting.”

“A-Aowin?” Inuyasha stuttered. He had a look in his eyes that looked like…shame? He must feel bad about our fight…I don't blame him, I do too, she thought. The look of shame quickly turned to anger however when he switched his gaze to Sesshomaru.

When Kagome reached her they embraced each other happily. “Aowin, I missed you so much!” She exclaimed.

“I know me too!” Aowin agreed. “So, did I miss anything?”

Kagome shook her head. “No, not much. But this battle is going to be big, nothing like ever before!”

Aowin nodded gravely. “I know, because this is going to end today! We're going to make sure that this is the final battle!”
