Gee, this has really become quite an epic saga...lol. Should I apologize? All of my writings tend to be kinda long.

All these 'extra' names really have no meaning, I just made them up. Except Naoko. It means Owl in Japanese.

Scene 45 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Nearing Naraku's Castle

* Naoko notices a squad of soldiers approaching. He scans them quickly to be sure there are no cat types in the squad that are taking Miroku and Shippo back to Inubia. The leader of the squad recognizes Naoko and pulls up as he swoops down to land.

Corydas- Naoko?
Naoko- Is Lord Sesshomaru near?
Luryu- He's still at the scum's castle..
Corydas- Why are you here? You seem upset.
Naoko- There's been trouble... Some cat demons from their village attempted to kill our new heirs.
Sashryu- What?!

* Now Myoga hops onto Naoko's shoulder.

Naoko- Lord Inuyasha showed up in time to save the puppies...
Myoga- Is he alright?!
Naoko- One of the cats attacked and cursed him, Master Myoga...

* Like a shot, Myoga zips away toward the castle impulsively. Naoko looks back at the others.

Naoko- Corydas, you take charge of security at Inubia until I return.

* Corydas salutes with an arm across his chest. Naoko watches the squad take off again. He takes back to the air and quickly finds the gathering of troops. Naoko circles overhead until he spots Sesshomaru. He then swoops to the ground and lands in a low crouch before his Lord.

Naoko- M'Lord.

* Sesshomaru recognizes the new arrival and steps forward, sensing trouble.

Sesshomaru- General Naoko.
Naoko- Forgive the intrusion, M'Lord... But I have grave news from Inubia.

* Kouga comes over closer hearing the report. Sesshomaru glances at him.

Sesshomaru- Tell me, Naoko.
Naoko- There was an uprising.. Some cats from the village... They attempted to kill your heirs, M'Lord...

* Sesshomaru growls and turns to look toward the squadron of cats. In the next moment a burst of energy flies toward him. Sesshomaru whips Tokijin out, but it is a second burst from Naoko that counters the attack. Sesshomaru and Kouga move back as Naoko orders the cats to be restrained.

Sesshomaru- Just eliminate these traitors!!

* The cats begin to fight back against their fellow soldiers, but they are clearly no match against the dragons and other varied types of demons. When Sesshomaru sees that his enemies are subdued he sheathes Tokijin and looks back at the general.

Sesshomaru- Inuyasha was on his way there...
Naoko- He arrived in time to save his pups but...

* Sesshomaru stops from moving away.

Sesshomaru- But..?
Naoko- Lord Inuyasha was injured.. and cursed by the leader of...

* Sesshomaru cuts Naoko off again when he turns to look at Kouga.

Sesshomaru- You know what needs to be done here.
Kouga- Yeah...
Sesshomaru- Just bring me Naraku's head and heart.

* In the next instant Kouga and Naoko are blown backwards some as Sesshomaru's energy ball blasts off toward Inubia. Naoko gathers himself, glances toward the wolf, then takes to the air to follow as quickly as he can.
