______________________________

Bankotsu hurriedly tried to
pry Ryoko off Rin�s leg but she didn�t budge. A proximity alarm sounded from
their detecting device. �Grab them both,� he told Jakotsu. The dark-haired man
nodded before grabbing his burden and running towards the edge of the park.
Bankostu out curiosity waited for �daddy.� A blur of red came barreling towards
him followed by holy energy. �Interesting.�
Once he got his reading, he threw a smoke bomb and disappeared leaving Inu
Yasha sputtering and cursing. He was pissed and Sesshomaru was going to kill
him.

Twenty Minutes Ago�

Kaede stepped off her train
and looked around carefully. She just could not shake the dream she had last
night. Even a fire reading did little to calm her in fact it made it worse.
Something monumental was about to happen and she had to stop it. The vision of
her daughter and granddaughter�s broken bodies flashed in her mind again. She
walked much too fast for old woman she supposed, but it could not be helped.

Once she stepped onto the
busy sidewalk her worried increased. She had to get to Genjuro. Fingers found
their way to her rosary in nervousness as she started in the direction of the safe
house Kagome mentioned. She arrived minutes later; the sight of two burly
demons guarding the door did little to deter her.

�You�re in the wrong place
human,� one of the guards warned.

�I�m here to give the one you
are protecting spiritual advice,� Kaede motioned towards her garments.

�Lady Kagome will take care
of that so be on your way.�

The old woman frowned as she
reached into her haori. She had not intended on killing but she would have to
do what was necessary to protect Kagome and Ryoko. �Then I��

�Is there a problem?� Kenji walked
up to the guards who bowed.

�Nothing, Lord Kenji, we were
sending this woman on her way.�

�I doubt that,� he smirked.
�She was preparing to kill you.� He gestured towards her hands and the guards�
eyes widened. They moved forward.

�That is not necessary,� he
replied. �She must have a valid reason for not killing you immediately.�

�You are still as clever as
always,� she observed.

He smiled in pride then
leaned closer. �Do I know you?� Cobalt eyes washed over the old woman trying to
place her. �The eye patch�no...she
wouldn�t have aged this much��

�Yes and no. I am Kagome�s
foster mother.�

�Ah, you�re the one who found
Genjuro.�

�Yes, I must speak with you
in private.� Kenji looked at her curiously. He led the older woman to the
elevator. Once the doors slid shut, Kaede turned to him. �I had a vision that
demon hunters found Genjuro. That can not happen."

He frowned shaking off the
sense of de ja vu. �I�ll look into it,� Kenji replied. The doors opened they
bother stepped off the car. �Would you like to see him?� Kaede nodded and he led
her down the hall. �You remind me of someone.�

�Is this your famous flirting?�
she asked. �On an old woman?�

Ken smiled but it did not
reach his eyes. �No someone lost to me centuries ago when I was younger and
stupid.� Kaede�s eye widened at touching the unexpected sore spot. �But I have
to admit I think the eye patch is sexy. You must have been quite a dish in your
day.�

�Idiot,� she flushed and
pushed past him. A pulse passed through the two of them for a second as they
made brief contact. �I need to warn him��

Kenji pulled her close and
snarled. Someone was here, the scents were not right. The only scent he detect
was his and the miko, which was strange as well. �They�re here.�

�What?� she pulled away and
got into her own defensive posture. �Barrier.� Kenji nodded.

�As a miko, you should be
able to get through with no problem,� he motioned toward the door.

�So you would send an old
woman first?�

�Why not? You seem more than
capable, Miss Miko. My nose may be deceived but my eyes are not and you are
more than up to the task. Plus it will surprise them.�

�You always have an angle,�
Kaede readied her dagger ignoring the strange look he gave her. She blessed the
blade herself there were few barriers it could not get through.

�I hope to be right behind
you.�

Kaede looked at him
skeptically then touched the barrier with her blade. For a brief second she saw
white then her body was on fire. An invisible weight around her forced to her knees
then exploded around her in the form of pain. Blackness threatened as her very
bones nearly crushed themselves and before she knew it she was on her back. �What
happened?� she asked breathing hard as the pain slowly subsided. Now she could detect
a weight on top of her, Kenji must have pushed her away.

�The barrier tried to purify
you�Kae,� he said lowly looking at the dark haired woman under him. He wanted
nothing more than to hold her but hurt gave him pause.

A dark eye widened as her
hand flew to her rosary. It had been destroyed. �The truth has been revealed.�

�Later,� he said tightly as
the door opened. Kenji stood looking the figures in the eyes. He pushed Kaede
behind instantly. �I hope you do not think I will let you leave here alive.�

�Wouldn�t dream of it demon,�
Eiji sneered tucking his sack away. He looked towards Kaede. �You hold a human
hostage?�

�My mate is none of your
concern,� Kenji growled pushing Kaede back further.

�I do not need your
protection, Kenji. I�ve been alone for five hundred years without your
assistance,� Kaede spat. She stepped out from behind Kenji.

A blip came from the silent
man next to Eiji. �She�s part demon,� he commented.

�Give them hell, Rinkotsu,� Eiji
replied turning away.

Kenji rushed forward then
jumped back as a wall of fire rushed them. He covered Kaede�s body as the blaze
sprung around them and did not move until the sprinkler system activated. No
doubt those hunters got away. If they got by the guards once they would do it
again.

�Lord Kenji,� the rushed
towards him.

�I take it you didn�t see the
hunters on the way up?� he asked pushing wet blue locks out of cobalt eyes.

�Hunters?�

Kenji picked up Kaede and
started down the hall. He underestimated them completely, compound that with
the knowledge that his mate was not dead but hiding from him for the last five
hundred years and the perfect condition for his ugly temper was created. He was
not a happy camper.� �Check on Genjuro.
He�s lost entirely too much blood to be alive, but you never know.�

�You can put me down.�

Kenji gave her stern look. �When
we get there?�

Her eye widened. She had only
seen him like this once. It had slipped her mind how much of a temper he had.
For as much passion for joy and humor he had, his temper was strong. A gift
from his mother if she remembered correctly. �If you�re going to kill me so it
now. I refuse to become some love slave amongst your harem.�

The vein in Kenji�s head
started to pulse and he was half tempted to oblige her. He loved her and she
meant everything to him yet she was behaving this way. He could break
something. �Don�t say another word until we both calm down,� he growled. She
wisely held her tongue and looked away. This was going to be bad.

Amber eyes flew open in
confusion. For the first time in centuries he had a nightmare. The last time�. Sesshomaru
sat up seeking Rin�s scent. It was fairly fresh but it was obvious she was not
there. His logical mind assumed she went to the office to get some work done,
but is youkai was more suspicious. She should not be out of sight with Kagura
and other possible evils afoot. He would find her now. He quickly dressed.

�Something is wrong.� He walked over to the balcony and inhaled. There were
too many people to track her from this height and he refused to sniff the
ground like some common dog. He just could not shake the feeling of dread.

He jumped from the balcony,
ran, then jumped to the next roof going towards the
club. Flying would draw too much attention. He was not in the mood to go
through the paperwork that type of exposure would cause with the government. In
the middle of a jump he felt excruciating pain that nearly caused him miss his
landing. His eyes bled crimson as he felt his blood pulse. The pain was leading
him in the opposite direction.

�Inu Yasha,� he growled as he
landed in the park. His brother was riled up and his mate was crying.

�Sesshomaru, they took Rin
and Ryoko,� Kagome cried.

�What?� he asked closing the
gap between them. A clawed hand closed around Inu
Yasha�s neck.

�Sesshomaru!� Kagome yelled pulling at Sesshomaru�s arm. �Let him
go. We have to find them.�

�Who?� he growled.

Kagome looked downward
judging by her brother in law�s behavior he was too far gone to be reasonable. �The
hunters,� she replied pulling.

�Inu Yasha,� Sesshomaru
growled squeezing tighter. His brother was in proximity and should have
protected them. Instead both his mate and niece had been taken most likely
right under the hanyou�s nose. His half brother had
not been this incompetent in centuries. Inu Yasha�s
claws dug into Sesshomaru�s arms as he tried to pry himself free.

�Kill me later. Right now I
just want to get those bastards,� he struggled out. All of his training and Sesshomaru
still caught him off guard and he could not protect his family.

Sesshomaru�s vision blurred as
he threw Inu Yasha. �Genjuro,� he growled. The human�s defection had to have
been a ploy. He would tear the human to shreds. An aura surrounded him as he
turned into ball of light and shot away from the park.

�I see we are too late,�
Kenji replied settling down onto the ground. A young woman jumped out of his
arms and moved towards Kagome. �The hunters killed Genjuro and obviously have been
here.�

�Kagome are you alright?�

�Kaede? What�?�

�My rosary, we�ll talk of
this later. Where is Ryoko?�

�They took her�and Rin,� she
sighed

�I figured,� Kenji replied
thinking of Sesshomaru�s rash exit from the area. �As long as she remains
conscious, he should be able to track her.�

�You and I both know that Rin
is too feisty to be moved around conscious,� Inu Yasha commented rubbing his
neck. �And those bastards are using some kind of barrier to block scents.�

�It�s a good thing that Rin
is pupped then. The Pup can lead him to Rin,� Kenji replied. �It looks like
we�re going hunting.

19-19-19

Eiji looked up from his communication
and motioned to Rinkotsu as someone approached their barrier. They were waiting
for the other half of their party to arrive. Suikotsu had been the first and
reported his information gathering. Apparently he found someone willing to
spill everything she knew. A demon willing to sell out her own kind. So far she
seemed to be telling the truth and what she had to say had been troubling. After
gathering information Suikotsu attempted to kill her but she managed to get
away. They would deal with her on their return trip.

Eiji pulled out his weapon.
�It�s us,� Bankotsu replied settling his package down.

�What is that?� Eiji asked.

�O-Rin,� Jakotsu grumbled.
�She cut my face.�

�Well we were warned that she
may put up a fight.�

�Yeah well we�ve got another
problem,� Bankotsu replied. He pulled the covering back to reveal Ryoko latched
on for dear life.

�Is that�?� Eiji sentence
trailed as both Bankostu and Jakotsu nodded. �Get it off of her.� He moved to
pull Ryoko when Rin sat up growling and swiping in semi-conscious state. Out of
instinct he pulled back and Rin calmed down, never once opening her eyes. �Is
she possessed?�

Bankostu shrugged. He had his
own theories and knew Eiji would not want to hear it. Jakotsu pointed out
scratches on her waist and the bite mark on her neck while they were traveling.
Apparently she did what the Romans did. �I wasn�t able to check it out since
her daddy,� pointing to Ryoko,� a class A demon, was coming.�

�And he didn�t look happy
either,� Jakotsu assed. �He was quite cute though. Such a waste.�

�Let�s stay focused,� Eiji
replied. �We need to get O-Rin back to the village and we�ll just have to bring
the demon with us. Pater will handle it.�

�She�s as good as dead,�
Bankotsu wrapped Rin back into the cover.

�Shut the hell up,� Eiji
snapped. �O-Rin is your commanding officer.�

�Exactly. Not you,� Bankotsu replied. �It would be better if we killed her and burned her now. She
would not hesitate to do otherwise if it was going to disgrace one of us.�

An eyebrow twitched. �Our
orders,� he grabbed Bankotsu by the collar, �were to bring her back� alive.�
The others watched curiously with their hands on their weapons.

Bankotsu smirked. He wanted
to see where this would end up and he was in dire need for a little excitement.
�Whatever you say, Eiji,� he grinned.

Eiji sighed and released him knowing
full well the others were prepared to kill him if he had any funny ideas. The
threat of Pater�s wrath was all that protected him and kept them listening. He
did raise O-Rin after all. �Let�s go. The demon will sniff us out with their
child held hostage.�

�And consort. She may have
gone willing�� Eiji jumped towards Jakotsu. �Touchy I see.�

Eiji struggled against
Bankotsu and Suikotsu as they held him back. �O-Rin would never consort with a
demon.�

Jakotsu laughed. If whatever
demon she gave it up to looked even half as good as the one that came after
them, then he could hardly blame her. �keeping thinking that,� he smirked
before leaving. �Let�s go. I don�t want to be here when daddy shows.�
