Inuyasha growled in frustration as he slammed his fist into the ground. "Damn that Naraku!" The muscles tensed in his arm as his hand clenched earth but eventually his elbow bent and he lower his head until his chin almost touched his chest.

"Blast these spiritual barriers." The monk gave the invisible wall one more, high-quality whack with his staff for good measure. "It's already been four days."

"Inuyasha perhaps you should try one more time," Sango encouraged.

"It's no use Tetsusaiga can't break it, Naraku had already found away to get around the sword's new power."

"But there has to be a way inside, Kagome needs us." Shippo whined.

"Don't you think I know all that?! Quit stating the obvious and help us figure out a way to get inside. I swear some times you are completely useless."

"Lay off! I'm not the one who let his woman get kidnapped by his worst enemy!" Shippo's eyes went wide in fear; he backed away and clamped his tiny hands over his mouth. Inuyasha's untamed bangs fell over his eyes.

"Can't trust you with anything."

"Speaking of things that are useless," grumbled the half-breed.

"You going to cry little brother or get up and fight?"

"Sesshomaru's here too?!" Shippo looked from one dog demon to the next then at the wolf.

"Naraku sent a messenger," Koga informed. Everyone froze as a door opened in the spirit barrier. "I guess this is our invite."

"How kind of him," Miroku came to stand next to the exterminator. They surveyed the area and slowly made their way inside. Part way into the courtyard the demons stopped and the mortals' eyes darted around.

"What-what is it?" the slayer asked gripping her choice weapon until her knuckled turned white.

"I think this is going to be the battle ground," Koga answered, slowly turning around like a surveillance camera.

"How right you are!" Blades of energy came out of nowhere and the group scattered then it seemed they were coming from all directions.

"Kanna must be close." Miroku tried searching out the entity that was reflecting Kagura's attacks but had no such luck in finding her.

"What about Hakudoushi? He's got to be here too." The fox gripped Inuyasha's shoulder tightly as the semi demon dodged the white blades of light.

"I don't care about the lackeys, I just want Naraku's head," he growled in response and unsheathed his inheritance. "Come on Tetsusaiga we've got to save Kagome." Energy pulsed from the transformed fang, "Shippo you're in the wa - " The little demon was already heading for the fire cat when the wielder looked at his shoulder.

"Knock 'em dead Inuyasha!" he cheered from the back of Kirara.

"Hmph," he raised his sword but stopped when the scent of blood assaulted his nose. Kagome?!
