Inuyasha, not owned by me. Owned by Rumiko Takahashi.

They were on the go again and Seresute was now a member of Sesshomaru's party. Although she didn't want to, Rin had insisted. So now she joined them, for a short time anyway.

Sesshomaru was being his usual self, staring out among the valley from a hill at nighttiime when Jaken came running. Seresute, who had been taking Sora out for a stroll, came back and heard what Jaken said. Rin had been kidnapped by Kagura, the Wind Sorceress. She didn't like Kagura one bit. She saw Sesshomaru just staring at Jaken like he was some voracious parasite.
"Let me reassure you Lord Sesshomaru," a voice came out of nowhere and before her very eyes, Naraku appeared, clad in his baboon pelt.
"If you heed my request, I shall return Rin in good health."
"Ahh, it's Naraku!" Jaken yelled running around, but then Seresute's fist came out of nowhere and punched him on the head.
"We meet again. So, what do you have up your sleeve this time?" Sesshomaru asked coolly.
"Nothing special. I simply want you to kill Inuyasha," Naraku replied.
"Heh," Sesshomaru said, a grin appearing on his face, "Why are you going through all this trouble for something so trivial?"
He then ran at Naraku and sliced his head off. The pelt disappeared and all there was was a doll.
"Does Naraku honestly believe that he could threaten me into action by endangering the life of a mere mortal?" Sesshomaru said, his voice holding doubt.
"Are you going to turn your back on Rin?" Seresute asked.
His golden eyes met her blue ones. He did not say anything, but he turned and began walking away.
'I take that as a yes. You cold hearted bastard!' she thought.
"Wait Lord Sesshomaru! Where are you headed, my Lord!" Jaken said, running to keep up.
Seresute ran up to them and walked by Sesshomaru's side. He spared a glance her way and turned back to the road.

Sesshomaru stopped at a place in a valley. "Naraku's castle is here."
"Huh," Jaken looked around and saw nothing, "I don't see a castle, My Lord."
"Can you see it?" Sesshomaru suddenly asked her.
"Yes, I can," Seresute said, her eyes fixed upon a large castle. It had a very powerful barrier around it and if her senses were right, miasma.
Just then, the barrier opened up, allowing the trio to pass through. They approached the castle and Sesshomaru said something that Seresute could not hear. Suddenly the torches lit up with blue flames and Naraku's voice floated out of the darkness. "Would you have come otherwise?"
Naraku appeared out of thin air in his pelt again.
"I must inform you that the mortal girl you seek is not here at my castle. She would not be able to survive the airless atmosphere of this poisonous miasma. The girl is under my protection outside the castle walls. I assure you she is unharmed...for now."
"Naraku," Sesshomaru said, "Do me the honor of at least recognizing that I am not here simply to save Rin."
Seresute and Jaken both looked at him with bewildered expressions on their faces.
"Of course. You of all people seem to despise taking orders from others. You will not kill Inuyasha when told to do so, nor did you come to look for the girl. I realize that you are here to kill me."
Sesshomaru smiled. "You sound as if you believe you've led me into your trap. Perhaps later I'll have you explain yourself," he said as he raised his hand, "If you should survive the night, that is." He cracked his fingers loudly to make his intentions known.
Naraku laughed. "Lord Sesshomaru, I'm honored by your visit. So in return, I will gladly accept your challenge." His body began to transform into a monstrous mass.
Sesshomaru was clearly not taken aback. "Heh, a collection of rejected demons. This is your true form Naraku?"
"True form? No, my body is far from being complete."
A single claw came at Sesshomaru and Seresute, but Sesshomaru jumped, gathering Seresute in one arm and bringing her with him. Jaken was unfortunate. He managed to escape and hide. Sesshomaru came back down with Seresute and released her. She brushed herself off before turning to him.
"I can get out of the way myself. I don't need your help," she said angrily, turning away and reaching for her Moon Bow.
"Heh, you'll destroy me for not doing as you wish?" Sesshomaru asked Naraku. He unsheathed his Tokijin.
Naraku grinned. Tentacles came at Sesshomaru from both sides, but he slashed at them, causing them to disintegrate.
"Naraku, you're such a lowly demon. You will never have the power nor resources to harm me," he said.
Naraku laughed. "How about if I aim for the woman instead?" he said, nodding towards Seresute. Her eyes widened as tentacles came at her and surrounded her. But as soon as they touched her, they were immediately destroyed. A light blue aura surrounded her, protecting her from harm.
"You can't harm me as well," she said, her voice deadly calm.
The tentacles around Sesshomaru began moving again and came back together. It coiled around Sesshomaru's leg and he turned to look. Naraku found this as his chance and came at him. He sent more tentacles, but he destroyed them yet again. Jumping into the air, he struck at many more tentacles before landing on the ground, the pieces falling everywhere, one landing on his shoulder armor.
"How long do you intend to keep up this ludacrous farce?" he said.
The tentacles began moving again.
Suddenly Naraku said, "After him Kagura!"
Kagura, who had been watching, nodded and went off.
"An unexpected guest Naraku? How very unfortunate for you. I assure you his journey here would have been vain," Sesshomaru said.
He lifted Tokijin. "By the time he arrives, you'll be dead!" He slashed Tokijin and the sword released a large amount of energy right toward Naraku. It cut through Naraku's flesh and left him torn. Naraku began laughing maniacally. Seresute wanted nothing more than to kill him with a Star Arrow. One arrow could kill him, but what if it didn't? She didn't do it and waited for Sesshomaru to make a move.
"Naraku, you seemed preoccupied with what's outside these walls."
"Lord Sesshomaru, I'm afraid that I'll have to cut our visit short. I'll have your power...every last bit of your demonic power."
The tentacles became whole and surrounded Sesshomaru's body. He did nothing to stop it.
"I shall have it all for myself."
"Sesshomaru!" Seresute yelled, running at him. His gaze averted to hers, but only for a second as the tentacles overcame him and he disappeared. "SESSHOMARU!" She approached the mass and stared at it for a bit. Tears began flowing down her fair cheeks and anger boiled within her. She turned to Naraku.
"Na...ra...ku..., I'm going to kill you for what you have done to Sesshomaru. I'll never forgive you!" she yelled as she unsheathed Ryukotsusei and ran at him. Tentacles grabbed her leg and she fell, losing her grip on her sword. Just then, she sensed Inuyasha coming, moving fast.
"Naraku! No wonder you've been hiding your true form," Inuyasha said as he swung his red Tetsusaiga, "You're dead!"
"Inuyasha..." Naraku murmured.
"WIND SCAR!"
"I think not!" Naraku said as his barrier surrounded him, but the Wind Scar broke it and it hit him.
"I've found you Naraku and today I'm going to destroy you," he said.
"Hah, don't make me laugh. Do you really think you can slay me?"
"Inuyasha!" Seresute yelled as she broke free of the tentacle's grasp and ran to his side, "Thank goodness you're here. Naraku has absorbed Sesshomaru!"
"Huh? Sesshomaru's here? That bastard, how dare he come and interfere in my battle!"
"Inuyasha, he was here before you," she said, an anime sweatdrop appearing on her head.
Naraku laughed. "Inuyasha, you've grown strong enough to break through my barrier."
The half-demon raised his sword.
"Naraku, you bastard. You won't escape this time. Prepare to die!" he said, running at Naraku.
"Hm, you may have grown more powerful, but you are certainly no match for me. Now perish!" Tentacles came at Inuyasha, but he avoided them.
"Not this time!" He swung the sword and they fell to the ground in pieces. More of them came.
"I'm not done with you yet," Naraku said.
"Oh yeah?" Inuyasha said as he slashed them, "Naraku!"
Tentacles came around and surrounded Inuyasha's body, holding him tightly in their grip.
"What? What's happening?" Inuyasha yelled as they tightened their grip.
"Inuyasha!" Seresute shouted as she fitted an arrow into her bow and fired, hitting Inuyasha's constraints. They disintegrated and Inuyasha was freed.
"This is the end Naraku, you're going down this time," Inuyasha yelled as he ran at him yet again, "Now die!" He used the Wind Scar and Naraku watched as he used Sesshomaru to take the blow. When it cleared away, the tentacles surrounding Sesshomaru were destroyed from the inside and Sesshomaru stood there, unharmed.
"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha said bewildered.
"Sesshomaru! You're okay!" Seresute said happily, her heart jumping for joy.
"Heh. Naraku. Ironic, isn't it? To think that the flesh that bound me to you would be your shield against Inuyasha's Wind Scar."
"Move it! I'm taking Naraku down!" Inuyasha yelled, getting in his way.
"No, Naraku belongs to me," Sesshomaru said calmly.
"Not likely. This time you won't interfere."
"I shall absorb all three of you while you bicker!" Naraku said.
"What's that?" Inuyasha hollered up at him.
Seresute stepped forth. "Step aside you two. Naraku's mine," she said.
Both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru looked at her surprised. She had no weapon in her hand, how was she going to defeat Naraku? A bright white aura surrounded her and before Naraku's eyes, her blue eyes flashed a vivid red. Her face elongated into that of a wolf's and in only a few seconds, a huge brown wolf stood before him, looking at him with predatory eyes.
"I'm going to kill you for what you did to my parents. You killed them and brought down my wrath. Prepare to die!" she said as she swiped at him with her mighty paw.
He laughed. "Die!" Tentacles came at her and surrounded her, constricting her tightly. A whine escaped her and she tried swiping, but couldn't. She changed back to her normal self, still being constricted. Sesshomaru came at her and slashed the tentacles around her, releasing her. She fell into the youkai's arms. Looking up at him, she pulled out of his arms, brushing herself off.
'Okay, give up on the wolf form. But what Sesshomaru did, what kind of feelings were those that went through me?' she thought, blushing.
Suddenly, Inuyasha used his Wind Scar and Naraku's torso was separated from his body.
"One more should do it!" Inuyasha said. Just then Sesshomaru appeared next to him. "I told you to let me take him," he said.
"Back down!" Inuyasha retorted.
"I'll get him!" Seresute said, a Star Arrow fitted in her bow. She fired and it came at Naraku, but he disappeared in a cloud of miasma. The brothers got out of the way of the cloud, but Seresute dashed into it, fitting another arrow into her bow and firing. It hit him square on and he groaned, but he didn't die.
"What! You're supposed to die immediately! These arrows kill instantly!" she said with horror in her voice.
"Heh, it did damage me considerably. You have great power girl. Who are you?" Naraku asked with wonder in his voice.
"I am the goddess Seresute. You killed my mother and father 50 years ago and I searched for you all over these lands," she said.
"Heh. They were weak and so are you!" he said.
She got angry. Another arrow came at him, but he deflected it.
"Lord Sesshomaru, I shall withdraw for now," he said.
A red aura surrounded Sesshomaru and his golden eyes turned red. "You fool, don't ever think that you can escape my grasp," he said angrily, his fangs bared.
"Heh heh. Lord Sesshomaru, rather than transforming and hunting me down, shouldn't you be rushing to the side of that young mortal girl?"
Sesshomaru's eyes returned to normal and his face grew calm.
"Your companion Rin is with the boy known as Kohaku. Inuyasha, even you should realize the implications," Naraku said before he disappeared.
Seresute unfolded the wings that she kept hidden on her back and flew into the air in search of Rin, having detected her presence. Sesshomaru followed close behind, using the fluffy thing on his shoulder.

Seresute had been flying for about ten minutes before looking down and seeing Rin and Kohaku. Rin was unconscious and Kohaku looked like he was about to cut her throat.
"Rin!" Her wings folded up and she fell to the ground from fifty feet. Sesshomaru landed beside her and simply stood there staring at Kohaku, whose attention was diverted to the youkai. The boy stood and faced Sesshomaru, his weapon raised. He took a step towards the man.
"Oh, you turn your blade toward me," he said, raising his clawed hand.
"Kohaku!" Inuyasha's voice broke the silence as he punched the boy in the face.
"Inuyasha!" Seresute yelled, "Was that necessary?"
"What're you doing, you fool?" Inuyasha yelled at the boy.
Kagome came running. She ran to Rin's side and picked her up.
"She's alright. She's just unconscious, that's all," she announced.
Inuyasha turned to Sesshomaru. "You heard her. The girl's not hurt, so let the boy go free."
"Stay out of this Inuyasha. It's useless to try to interfere. This boy seems compelled beyond reason to die by my hands."
Kohaku swung his weapon at Sesshomaru, but Inuyasha blocked it, disarming the boy in the process. Sesshomaru came at him, grabbing Kohaku by the neck.
"How generous of you, disarming the boy for me. I had no idea you held such strong feelings for me Inuyasha," the youkai said.
"Let's get one thing straight Sesshomaru," the hanyou said, raising his sword, "I'll kill you if you don't let him go."
The hand around Kohaku's neck tightened. "Don't do it Sesshomaru!" Kagome said.
"Set the boy down!" Inuyasha added.
"Please Sesshomaru. Don't harm him," Seresute said in a pleading voice.
A minute or two passed and Sesshomaru released Kohaku. Inuyasha was bewildered by what his brother had done. Then Rin regained consciousness.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Seresute!" she yelled happily. She then looked at Kohaku. "What happened Kohaku?"
Kohaku didn't say a word. He picked up his weapon and ran for it.
"Aren't you going after him?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagura appeared with Kohaku on her giant feather, flying away.
"Kagura..." Seresute murmured.
"Thank you Sesshomaru. Thanks for letting Kohaku go," Kagome said.
"The boy was trying to die at my hands."
"You mean, you knew that?" Inuyasha asked.
Sesshomaru turned to the hanyou. "It was Naraku's doing. And I refuse to play by his rules." He began walking away. Rin got up and began following. "Goodbye," she said.
Before she left, Seresute met with Kagome.
"I'm sorry Kagome, but I have to go. I'm with Sesshomaru's party now. But before I go, take these." She took her quiver of Star Arrows and gave them to her sister. "They're Star Arrows. Very powerful. Make sure you don't scratch yourself with one or you'll die. With your spiritual energy and the power of the arrows combined, you'll be unstoppable."
Kagome took them and gave Seresute a sisterly hug.
"Seresute! Are you coming?" Rin shouted.
"Coming!" Seresute broke the embrace and ran off to Rin.
