Chapter 33 ~ Yanna vs. Sesshoumaru
When Kagura left Naraku’s room, she was pleased that she didn’t have to watch over Yanna for once. In a way, she was happy that she was leaving the castle because she had felt something eerie in the castle. Once she was back outside, she took to the skies to see if anyone was looking for the inu-hanyou.
Kagura continued looking for any sign of someone looking for Yanna. Kagura was in no hurry to get back to the castle so she decided to continue her search. As Kagura continued her search, she suddenly came across Sesshoumaru.
When Kagura spotted Sesshoumaru, she immediately landed a good five feet away from him. She eyed Sesshoumaru with an evil glint in her eyes.
“Lord Sesshoumaru,” Kagura said vehemently.
When Sesshoumaru left the clearing where Yanna was taken from, he followed her scent back into the forest. He knew that he couldn’t waste any time in getting Yanna away from Naraku.
Sesshoumaru continued walking through the forest when he caught Naraku’s scent in the air. He stopped walking when he spotted Kagura flying through the sky. He knew that Kagura had seen him because she had landed a few feet from him. Just as he saw her land, he heard Kagura say his name.
“What do you want, Kagura?” Sesshoumaru growled at the wind sorceress.
Kagura just eyed the inu-Taiyoukai with fire in her eyes.
“I was sent to look for anyone that would be coming after InuYanna,” Kagura said to Sesshoumaru.
“So, what do you want with me then?” Sesshoumaru seethed back at Kagura.
Kagura was taken aback by his question. She knew that Sesshoumaru was looking for Yanna. Kagura then looked away from the dog demon lord in front of her before she answered him.
“I know that you are looking for your sister, InuYanna. I can tell you that she is not safe where she is at,” Kagura said while she looked back up at Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru took a step towards Kagura. He noticed that she didn’t move an inch when he stepped closer to her. He stopped in front of Kagura when he was mere inches from her face.
“If you know that I am looking for her, then why don’t you tell me where InuYanna is at,” Sesshoumaru stated coldly to her.
Kagura then pulled a feather from her hair and took back to the skies as she said, “You already know where she is at.”
Sesshoumaru growled to himself as he watched Kagura fly off. She was right about him knowing where Yanna was at. With that in mind, Sesshoumaru once again took off towards Naraku’s castle.
**Meanwhile**
Naraku opened Yanna’s door and saw the huge demon dog standing in the middle of the room. He was pleased to see what the jewel had turned Yanna into. Naraku went to step into the room when the dog demon turned and growled at menacingly at him. Naraku didn’t let the growling stop him from entering the room. Once in the room, he shut the door behind him.
“Now, now, my dear. I will not hurt you,” Naraku said as he moved closer to the demon dog.
When Yanna had heard the door to her room being opened, she turned her head and looked to see who was bothering her. She didn’t recognize the person who had entered her room. Yanna started to growl when she saw the person coming towards her.
When she saw him shut the door, Yanna growled even louder. She noticed that her growling had had no effect on him. She had calmed down slightly when he had said that he wouldn’t hurt her. Yanna didn’t know what to do so she backed off and bowed her head as she submitted to Naraku.
Naraku saw that Yanna was accepting the fact that he was being trustworthy. He was also happy that she was being submissive to him since a part of him was still flowing through her veins. Naraku also knew that since she was being submissive to him that she would be easier to control. Then Naraku walked up to her and placed his hand on the top of her head as he felt the miasma flowing through her.
“Come, my dear InuYanna. We need to get you prepared,” Naraku said as he turned and walked out of the room.
‘Prepare. Prepare for what?’ Yanna thought to herself since she could no longer speak out loud.
With that thought running through her mind, Yanna obeyed Naraku and followed him out of the room. She was worried that something bad was going to happen not only to her but to someone she really cares about.
**Back with InuYasha**
While InuYasha was sitting on the roof of the hut, he was thinking about how he was going to get Yanna away from Naraku. He was so deep in thought that he didn’t hear Kagome calling his name.
After Miroku had told everyone that InuYasha was on the roof of the hut, Kagome stood once more and walked outside. Once she was outside, Kagome looked up and saw InuYasha right where Miroku said he would be. She smiled when she saw that he was deep in thought about something.
‘He has to be thinking about InuYanna,’ Kagome thought to herself.
Kagome continued to smile up at InuYasha as she said, “InuYasha…”
InuYasha looked around when he heard his name being called. He looked down and saw Kagome standing there looking back at him. He smiled back down at her as he stood up on the roof and jumped down to the ground. He landed in front of her without making a sound.
“What’s up, Kagome?” InuYasha asked, still smiling at her.
Kagome just continued to smile at InuYasha. Then all of a sudden, she looked away from InuYasha and then to the ground.
“I was just wondering what you were thinking about, InuYasha,” she said still looking at the ground.
“I was just thinking about InuYanna and how I am going to get her away from Naraku,” he said quietly.
Kagome stepped closer to InuYasha. When she reached him, Kagome then pulled him into a hug. At first, she felt him go stiff but then he relaxed and returned her hug.
InuYasha then pulled away from Kagome as he looked down at her. She could tell that there was more that he was thinking about. Just then, Kagome stepped back from InuYasha with a concerned look on her face.
“You’re going after InuYanna, aren’t you?” Kagome asked while she was still looking at InuYasha.
InuYasha couldn’t find his voice so he could answer her. So, he did the next best thing. He nodded his head as he looked away from Kagome. He knew that Kagome would want to go with him but he didn’t want her to get hurt.
Kagome continued looking at InuYasha. She knew that he had to get Yanna back before something bad happened to her. So, she decided to let him go without a fight.
“Then go, InuYasha, and get her back before she is killed once again,” Kagome said as tears started falling down her face.
When InuYasha had caught the scent of Kagome’s tears, he looked back at her. He could tell that she was just as worried about Yanna as he was. He smiled sadly at what she had said but he still pulled her into a tight embrace.
“I promise, Kagome, I will bring InuYanna back safe,” InuYasha whispered in her ear as he lightly kissed it.
InuYasha then pulled away from Kagome as he turned and started walking into the forest. He wanted to put as much distance between himself and Kagome as he possibly could because he didn’t want her to see him crying. InuYasha knew deep down that he and Yanna may not make it back in one piece but he would make sure that one of them will make it back to the others when this is said and done with.
When InuYasha had pulled away form her, Kagome then watched him walk into the forest. She could tell that he was crying. Once InuYasha had completely disappeared into the forest, Kagome wiped away her tears and then walked back into the hut to be with the others. Kagome also knew deep down as well that she may never see InuYasha or Yanna again if Naraku had his way.
**Back at Naraku’s**
When Naraku and Yanna left the room, they walked down the hallway towards the door. Naraku was pleased that Yanna couldn’t talk back to him. He was going to enjoy turning her against InuYasha without her knowing it.
They continued walking down the hallway until they reached the doors that would lead them outside. Naraku pushed the doors open so they could walk outside. As they walked out the doors, Kagura landed in front of them.
When Kagura left Sesshoumaru, she headed right back to Naraku as fast as she could. She had to let him know that Sesshoumaru was on his way to the castle to retrieve Yanna. Once Kagura reached the castle, she saw Naraku and a large white demon dog walk into the courtyard. She then landed in front of Naraku and Yanna.
Yanna growled when Kagura landed in front of them. She then positioned herself between Naraku and Kagura while she continued growling. Naraku was pleased to see Yanna’s reaction to Kagura. He also smiled to himself as he saw Yanna defend him against Kagura, who was of no threat to them.
‘This is going to be easier than I thought. If she reacts this way to Kagura, then she will have no problems killing InuYasha or anyone else,’ Naraku thought to himself.
Kagura couldn’t believe that the demon dog blocked her path in front of Naraku. Kagura immediately raised her fan to attack the dog demon in front of her. Just then, Kagura looked from Naraku to the demon dog in front of her when she saw Naraku smiling.
“Don’t do it, Kagura,’ Naraku said from behind Yanna.
Kagura looked at Naraku, who was still standing behind Yanna. She wanted to know why he had stopped her from attacking the demon dog in front of her. Just then, Kagura looked from Naraku to the demon dog in front of her.
“If I am not allowed to attack this demon, then tell ‘it’ to back down so I can tell you what I have found out,” Kagura said to Naraku as she kept her eyes on Yanna.
Naraku just laughed as he eyed Kagura. He slowly stepped out from behind the growling demon dog as he made his way towards Kagura. When he had reached her, Naraku stopped just inches away from her face.
“InuYanna is only protecting her master,” Naraku said as he pulled back from Kagura.
Kagura couldn’t believe what she had just heard. She looked from Naraku to Yanna and then back to Naraku. She felt a small smile pull at her lips.
“So, this monstrosity is the pathetic inu-hanyou. She is going to be the one to destroy InuYasha,” Kagura said as she pointed up at Yanna.
Naraku never erased his smile form his face. He knew that Kagura had found someone that was looking for Yanna. He had to know who it was that was willing to try and take Yanna away from him this time. Just then, Naraku put his hand on Yanna’s leg as he spoke to Kagura.
“So, Kagura, who is looking for my new pet?” Naraku asked the wind sorceress as he gently stroked Yanna’s fur.
“It is not InuYasha or Kouga but it is none other than Lord Sesshoumaru,” Kagura said as she continued glaring at Naraku.
Naraku was a little displeased to hear that it was Sesshoumaru and not InuYasha that was coming after Yanna. Naraku then furrowed his eyebrows as he returned Kagura’s glare.
“Well, it looks like we are going to have to get started on the preparations sooner than we thought. Come, InuYanna,” Naraku said as he removed his hand from Yanna’s leg.
‘Sesshoumaru, but I can’t fight him. He’s family,’ Yanna thought to herself.
Once Naraku had removed his hand from Yanna’s leg, Naraku turned and started walking towards another part of the castle’s courtyard. Yanna had no choice but to follow Naraku. Just then, Naraku stopped and turned to face Kagura one more time. Yanna also stopped.
“Kagura, I want you to go and find Sesshoumaru. I want you to make sure that he gets here in one piece. Also Kagura, do not tell him what InuYanna had turned into,” he said with a hint of anger in his voice.
Once he said that, Naraku turned back around and continued walking with Yanna hot on his heels towards the area that he had set up for his plan. He knew that he had to turn Yanna against everyone that she loved.
When Naraku and Yanna had disappeared from sight, Kagura pulled the feather from her hair and took to the skies once more. Once she was flying through the skies, Kagura started her search for Sesshoumaru.
**Back with Sesshoumaru**
When he had parted ways with Kagura, Sesshoumaru continued heading towards Naraku’s castle. He could feel that something was wrong with Yanna. Sesshoumaru didn’t want to admit it but he had always had a close connection with Yanna ever since she was younger. He despised their father for hiding her away from everything she had ever known and loved. Sesshoumaru couldn’t help but remember the day that Yanna was taken form him.
~~Begin Flashback~~
Sesshoumaru was sitting in the garden, watching InuYasha and Yanna playing a few feet away from him. He watched as InuYasha had thrown Yanna to the ground really hard. Sesshoumaru got up from his spot and walked over to the two young inu-hanyou twins. He then picked InuYasha up by his neck and tossed him to the side.
Once Sesshoumaru had tossed InuYasha to the side, he then leaned down and picked Yanna up in his arms. Sesshoumaru cradled Yanna in his arms as he growled at InuYasha.
“You could have seriously injured her, InuYasha,” Sesshoumaru yelled at the inu-hanyou lying on the ground.
“She’s okay. I didn’t hurt her too badly. And besides, InuYanna needs to learn how to defend herself,” InuYasha growled back at his older brother.
Meanwhile neither brother knew that InuTaishou was watching then just a few feet away. He suddenly walked over to his sons and saw an unconscious Yanna in Sesshoumaru’s arms. InuTaishou looked at both of his sons before he spoke.
“What has happened here?” InuTaishou asked them both.
Sesshoumaru glared at InuYasha as he said, “They were horse playing around until InuYasha threw InuYanna to the ground, Father.”
When InuTaishou heard this, he looked very sternly at InuYasha.
“Is this true, InuYasha?” he asked his youngest son.
InuYasha looked away form his father. He knew that he was in trouble for hurting Yanna. When he felt that he was ready to feel his father’s wrath, InuYasha looked back up at InuTaishou.
“Yes, Father, it is. I didn’t mean to hurt her though,” InuYasha said with sorrow in his voice.
InuTaishou continued to glare at InuYasha as he said, “Sesshoumaru, take InuYanna to her room.”
Sesshoumaru nodded to InuTaishou as he turned and started walking back into the castle with Yanna. He knew that InuYasha was going to be in some serious trouble this time for hurting Yanna. Once he was inside the castle, Sesshoumaru then carried Yanna up to her room.
When InuTaishou was sure that Sesshoumaru was completely inside the castle with Yanna, he turned all his attention back to InuYasha. He knew that InuYasha didn’t mean to hurt Yanna but his youngest son needed to learn to be careful with her.
“InuYasha, I want you to go to your room and stay there until I come for you. Is that clear?” InuTaishou stated to InuYasha.
“Yes, Father,” InuYasha said as his ears drooped to his head.
InuTaishou watched as InuYasha turned and walked back into the castle. He couldn’t help but be rough on InuYasha because Yanna wasn’t as strong as InuYasha was. Once InuYasha disappeared through the castle doors, InuTaishou followed him inside.
Once Sesshoumaru had reached Yanna’s room, he opened the door and walked over to her bed. When he reached the bed, Sesshoumaru laid the now sleeping Yanna down on it. He then heard a noise outside Yanna’s door. When Sesshoumaru looked up to see what had caused the noise, he saw InuYasha standing there. InuYasha saw Sesshoumaru and ran to his room.
InuYasha had entered the castle and was heading towards his room when he saw Yanna’s door slightly ajar. InuYasha stopped and looked inside. He saw Sesshoumaru watching over Yanna. Then he pushed on the door and it made a scratching noise on the floor. He then saw Sesshoumaru look over at him. InuYasha didn’t stick around to see what Sesshoumaru would do to him so he took off towards his room at lightning speed.
InuTaishou saw InuYasha run from Yanna’s room. He smiled to himself knowing that Sesshoumaru must have scared InuYasha almost to death. Once InuYasha was gone from Yanna’s door, InuTaishou approached it. When he reached the door, InuTaishou pushed it open the rest of the way so he could enter the room. InuTaishou knew that Sesshoumaru had a soft spot for Yanna ever since she was born. He then sensed Sesshoumaru’s irritation so he spoke up before he was attacked by his oldest son.
“It’s only me, Sesshoumaru. How is she?” InuTaishou asked as he walked over to Yanna’s bed.
Sesshoumaru didn’t look at his father as he answered, “She is doing okay. She is sleeping now.”
InuTaishou was pleased to hear that. With her being asleep, it would make his plan easier to work. He didn’t know if he could put his daughter through the name-calling and the other things that could happen to her since female half-demons are very rare. InuTaishou was about to implement his plan when Sesshoumaru stopped him.
“What are you doing to her?” Sesshoumaru asked his father angrily.
“I am concealing her demon attributes and then I am going to have her hidden away until the time is right for her to come back,” InuTaishou said as he continued what he was doing before Sesshoumaru stopped him again.
Sesshoumaru just looked at his father as InuTaishou finished what he had started. Sesshoumaru was having a hard time understanding what his father was saying to him. InuTaishou looked up at his son before he finished with Yanna. He could tell that Sesshoumaru was having a hard time understanding what was said.
“Let me explain, Sesshoumaru. There will be a demon in the near future that only InuYanna will be able to destroy and this demon will know all this as well,” InuTaishou said as he finished concealing Yanna’s demon side.
Once InuTaishou had finished, both him and Sesshoumaru looked down at the now human Yanna. Sesshoumaru almost didn’t recognize her. He knew that Yanna and InuYasha turned human once a month but Sesshoumaru never really paid attention to it even though Yanna spent those nights in his room for safety. Then Sesshoumaru looked back up at his father with questions running through his head.
“Father, you said that InuYanna will be the only one to destroy a demon in the near future. Can you tell me the name of this demon so I can keep him away from her?” Sesshoumaru asked.
InuTaishou just looked at his eldest son as he slowly answered, “The demon’s name will be Naraku. Promise me, Sesshoumaru, that you will not let this demon hurt InuYanna in any way.”
“I promise,” Sesshoumaru said to his father.
With that said, both Sesshoumaru and InuTaishou walked out of Yanna’s room. Once they were out of Yanna’s room, Sesshoumaru turned and walked off towards his own room. InuTaishou watched as Sesshoumaru had disappeared around the corner.
Once Sesshoumaru had totally disappeared around the corner from sight, InuTaishou signaled for one of the servants to follow him back into Yanna’s room. When InuTaishou and the servant had entered the room, InuTaishou walked over to Yanna’s bed.
“What is your wish, my lord?” the servant asked, bowing slightly.
“I want you to take InuYanna somewhere safe, Anise,” InuTaishou said as he picked the sleeping Yanna up.
“Yes, my lord,” Anise said as she bowed once again.
When InuTaishou had Yanna in his arms, he then walked over to Anise. He waited until Anise held out her arms before he put Yanna in them. Once Yanna was safely in Anise’s arms, InuTaishou turned and started gathering up some things that Yanna was going to need when she was able to return to her one and true home.
“Anise, I want you to take these things with you and give them to whoever will be taking care of my little girl,” InuTaishou said as he handed the pack to Anise.
“Yes, my lord,” Anise said as she turned and walked out of the room.
InuTaishou then walked over to the window and watched as Anise left with his one and only daughter. InuTaishou didn’t turn around when a figure walked into the room.
“So, she is gone then,” the figure said.
“Yes, Izayoi, she is. Are you sure we did the right thing by sending her away?” InuTaishou asked as he turned around and faced his mate.
“Yes, my love, we did. We had to make sure InuYanna would survive so she could face her destiny in the future,” Izayoi said as she walked up to InuTaishou’s side.
When they were satisfied that Yanna was going to be safe, InuTaishou and Izayoi walked out of their daughter’s now empty room.
It wasn’t too long after that that InuTaishou lost his life while battling Ryukotsusei.
~~End Flashback~~
Sesshoumaru had never forgiven his father for sending Yanna away even to this day. Sesshoumaru stepped up his pace even more. He knew that Naraku would have found a way to turn Yanna against everyone that she loved by now.
Sesshoumaru was continuing his journey towards Naraku’s castle when he had caught Kagura’s scent as she landed in front of him.
Kagura glared at Naraku’s back as she pulled the feather from her hair and took to the skies in search of her prey.
‘One of these days I will be totally free of Naraku,’ Kagura thought to herself as she flew through the sky.
Kagura continued to fly around while looking for Sesshoumaru. She was surprised when she found the inu-youkai lord not far from the castle. She tried to sneak up on Sesshoumaru but she got caught. Kagura saw Sesshoumaru stop and look up at her.
Kagura landed in front of Sesshoumaru when she realized that he had seen her. Once Kagura was standing in front of Sesshoumaru, she smiled at him evilly.
“What do you want, Kagura?” Sesshoumaru growled at the wind sorceress.
Kagura’s smile never faded from her face as she answered, “You are almost there. By the way, you are going to love Naraku’s surprise that he has for you.”
“What surprise?” Sesshoumaru growled even louder.
“You are just going to have to come to the castle in order to find out,” Kagura said as she took to the skies once more.
Sesshoumaru was reaching his limits with Kagura’s little games. Now Sesshoumaru had to get to the castle even more. He knew that Kagura was trying to tell him that something bad had happened to Yanna. Sesshoumaru could feel his eyes start to bleed red as his anger started to rise and overtake him. It took all of his power to keep himself from transforming.
**Back with InuYasha**
Once InuYasha was far enough away from Kagome, he let his tears fall freely down his cheeks. He just wished that Yanna was okay for the time being. He continued walking through the forest towards Naraku’s castle.
‘I wonder what Naraku is going to do to ‘Yanna now,’ he thought to himself.
With that thought running through his mind, InuYasha started running through the forest at a fast rate of speed.
**Back at Naraku’s**
When Naraku and Yanna had walked away from Kagura, they headed towards the back of the castle. As they were walking, Yanna looked over at Naraku and noticed that he was smiling. She really wished that she could talk so she could find out what was going to happen to her.
‘I wonder what is going through his mind right about now,’ Yanna thought to herself.
Naraku must have sensed the turmoil in Yanna’s mind because he looked over at her. He didn’t say anything to her as he went over his plan in his mind. Naraku’s smile got even bigger when he realized that there was no way that his plan could go wrong.
Before Yanna knew it, they had reached the back of the castle. She couldn’t believe what she saw when they got there. As Yanna looked around the courtyard, she saw a mock battlefield in front of her.
‘So, this is what Naraku meant about preparations,’ Yanna thought to herself as she continued to look around.
Naraku continued looking at Yanna as he placed his hand on her left front paw and called out to the miasma in Yanna’s veins. He could feel Yanna trying to fight the miasma but she soon realized that she couldn’t win so she gave in. Naraku was pleased when he saw Yanna give into him.
Now, my dear InuYanna, we have to get started since Sesshoumaru will be here soon,” Naraku said as he started walking towards the battlefield.
Yanna refused to follow Naraku towards the battlefield. She couldn’t believe that Naraku was going to have her fight Sesshoumaru.
‘I won’t fight Sesshoumaru. I will not let Naraku’s plan to have me fight Sesshoumaru happen,’ Yanna thought to herself as she once again started to fight the miasma in her system.
Naraku stopped walking when he realized that Yanna wasn’t following him towards the mock battlefield. Once Naraku stopped walking, he turned and looked at the white demon dog standing just five feet away from him. He saw the perplexed look on Yanna’s face.
“You can’t fight it, my dear. Your older brother is coming to destroy you,” Naraku said as he tried to put a sad look on his face.
Yanna just looked at Naraku. She couldn’t believe what he had just said to her. She knew that Sesshoumaru wouldn’t hurt her.
Naraku watched as Yanna digested what he had told her. He knew that he hit a nerve with what he had just said. He gave Yanna a few more minutes before he decided to walk up to Yanna.
When Naraku decided that Yanna had pondered long enough, he started walking up to her. He cautiously made his way up to Yanna. He didn’t want her to attack him.
“I know that it all comes as a blow, InuYanna, but it is the truth. He will also destroy me after he is done with you. You have to kill Sesshoumaru if we are to survive,” Naraku said as he reached out and started stroking the fur on her leg.
Yanna looked at Naraku as he said all that to her. She growled slightly as Naraku stroked her fur in a loving manner. The more that Naraku stroked her fur, the calmer Yanna became.
‘There is no way that Sesshoumaru is going to hurt me or Naraku. I will kill Sesshoumaru first,’ Yanna thought to herself as she nudged Naraku with her head.
Naraku knew that Yanna had believed everything he had said. He had a smile on his face when he felt Yanna nudge him with her head. He knew that no one will be able to take her away form him now.
‘I now have complete control over InuYanna. No one will ever be able to take her from me, not even InuYasha or Kouga,’ Naraku thought as he continued to stroke Yanna’s fur.
Just then, Yanna started growling fiercely. She turned around and faced the way they had come from earlier. Yanna didn’t like the scent that was coming towards them. Yanna immediately put herself between Naraku and the intruder that was coming towards them.
Naraku couldn’t believe what he was seeing again. Yanna was once again protecting him from whomever it was that dared to enter the castle grounds. Naraku then removed his hand from Yanna’s fur as he saw Kagura walking towards them.
When Kagura left Sesshoumaru in the forest, she immediately flew back to the castle. She had to tell Naraku about Sesshoumaru. She flew as fast as she could back to the castle.
Once Kagura had reached the castle, she noticed that Naraku and Yanna weren’t in the front courtyard. She then smiled to herself as she remembered them walking towards the back courtyard as she left to go after Sesshoumaru. So, Kagura began her trek towards the back courtyard of the castle.
Kagura knew deep down that Sesshoumaru had figured out what had happened to Yanna and that will be enough to force him to quicken his pace towards the castle. Kagura continued to smile as she made her way to the back courtyard.
When Kagura had reached the back courtyard, she stopped as she saw Naraku talking to Yanna. Kagura couldn’t believe that the giant dog demon was believing everything that Naraku was saying. Just then, Kagura heard Yanna growling as she turned and faced the wind sorceress. The smile faded from Kagura’s face as Yanna once again put herself between Kagura and Naraku.
“What do you want, Kagura?” Naraku asked as he stepped in front of Yanna.
Yanna continued growling as she eyed Kagura. All Yanna knew was that she had to protect Naraku from anyone that would hurt him. Yanna could sense that Kagura wanted to hurt Naraku. Yanna then felt Naraku lightly touch her paw in order to calm her down.
“Now, now, InuYanna. Just calm down because Kagura can’t hurt me,” Naraku said without looking back at Yanna.
Naraku felt Yanna start to calm down as he kept his eyes on Kagura. He knew that if Kagura didn’t want to be reabsorbed back into him, then she wouldn’t hurt him.
“Now, Kagura, I will only ask you one more time. What do you want?” Naraku asked once again.
“I just wanted to let you know that Sesshoumaru is almost here,” Kagura spat out at Naraku as she turned and walked into the castle.
Kagura didn’t wait around to see Naraku’s reaction to just finding out that Sesshoumaru was almost there. She also knew that Sesshoumaru would be the one to free her from Naraku.
When Kagura had finally disappeared into the castle, Naraku then turned back around and faced Yanna. He could tell that she had calmed down somewhat. Naraku wanted Yanna to save all her anger and energy for when Sesshoumaru got there.
“Come on, InuYanna. We will go inside and wait for Sesshoumaru to show up,” Naraku said as he started walking towards the castle.
Yanna followed closely behind Naraku like a loyal puppy dog. She knew that she had a hard battle ahead of her. She also knew that Sesshoumaru would pay with his life if he hurt Naraku in any way.
Naraku and Yanna entered the castle from being outside. Naraku then looked back at Yanna and noticed that she was tired. So, he and Yanna walked down the hall towards Yanna’s room. When they reached her room, Naraku opened the door and Yanna walked into the room. Once Yanna was in her room, she laid down on the floor and fell asleep right away.
Once Naraku was positive that Yanna was completely asleep, he walked up to her. He wanted to see what was going on in her head. So, he reached out to her so he could enter her dreams. Naraku felt Yanna resist him at first but she eventually had let him enter her mind. When Naraku had finally entered Yanna’s mind, he was pleased to see her dreaming about her childhood.
~~Begin Yanna’s Dream~~
A four-year-old hanyou girl was running around the garden while her older half-brother was watching her. She was content to be outside playing in the sunshine.
“Be careful, InuYanna,” the older demon, Sesshoumaru, yelled to his little sister.
The young Yanna stopped what she was doing and looked at the demon that was watching over her. She flashed a smile to her older brother as she continued going about what she was doing previously.
“I will be careful, aniki,” Yanna called back to him as she continued running around.
Sesshoumaru continued to watch Yanna run around the garden. He couldn’t believe that she almost didn’t survive when she was born because she was so small. Sesshoumaru constantly got on InuYasha’s case about being rough with Yanna since she weaker than he was. He also couldn’t believe how much energy Yanna had. Sesshoumaru couldn’t help but smile at her since he rarely smiled for anyone or anything. He had promised himself that when Yanna was born that he would protect her no matter what came after her as she grew up.
“Come here, InuYanna,” Sesshoumaru called to Yanna.
Yanna turned and faced Sesshoumaru. She knew that he wasn’t mad at her so she wondered what he wanted. It didn’t take her long to make her way over to Sesshoumaru. Once she reached Sesshoumaru, Yanna bounded into his open arms and he hugged her close to him.
“What do you want, Sesshoumaru?” Yanna asked her older brother.
Sesshoumaru hugged Yanna even closer to him when he answered, “I just wanted to let you know that I will always protect you, ‘Yanna.”
~~End Yanna’s Dream~~
When Yanna’s dream had ended, Naraku left Yanna’s mind. He smiled to himself as he figured out how he was going to use that bit of information to his advantage. He slowly leaned down to Yanna’s ear.
“My dear InuYanna, Sesshoumaru has broken his promise to protect you. I am the only one that you can trust now,” he whispered sadistically in her ear.
Naraku pulled back from Yanna as she whimpered in her sleep. Naraku was pleased with how she reacted to what he had just said. He then turned and walked out of Yanna’s room.
Naraku was walking down the hallway towards his room when he was met by Kagura. He stopped walking when the wind sorceress came up to him.
“What is it< Kagura?” Naraku growled out.
“It’s Sessh… Sesshoumaru. He’s here,” Kagura mumbled as she looked at Naraku.
“Where is he?” Naraku asked with a sadistic smile on his face.
Kagura had to take a couple of steps back. She had never seen her master smile like that before. Kagura quickly composed herself as she prepared to answer Naraku.
“He’s in the courtyard, Naraku,” Kagura said as she stepped aside to let Naraku pass.
Just before he walked past Kagura, Naraku turned to her and said, “Go and wake InuYanna. It is time for her to show her big brother her new form.”
Kagura bowed slightly to Naraku and said, “As you wish.”
Kagura then walked off towards Yanna’s room while Naraku continued walking towards the courtyard.
Once Kagura had left towards Yanna’s room, Naraku continued walking towards the courtyard. He was surprised that Sesshoumaru was there already. Naraku’s smile got even bigger when he stepped out into the courtyard and saw Sesshoumaru standing there.
“Lord Sesshoumaru, what brings you to my castle?” Naraku asked innocently.
Sesshoumaru was pleased when he finally reached Naraku’s castle. He was one step closer to getting Yanna away from Naraku. As he walked into the courtyard, he saw Kagura look over at him from the other side of courtyard. He glared right back at her as he watched her go back inside the castle. He knew that Kagura was going to get Naraku.
And sure enough out came Naraku. Sesshoumaru wanted to growl at the vile hanyou but refrained from doing so. He had to remain calm if he was going to get Yanna back. Just then, Sesshoumaru heard Naraku call out to him.
“Lord Sesshoumaru, what brings you to my castle?” Naraku asked.
Sesshoumaru just glared at Naraku. He could tell that Naraku was overly happy about something and he knew that it included Yanna in some way.
“I am here to take back my sister, Naraku,” Sesshoumaru growled out.
Naraku couldn’t help but laugh at what Sesshoumaru had said.
“We’ll let her decide who she wants to go with,” Naraku said as he felt Yanna come up behind him.
Kagura walked away from Naraku and went to get Yanna. ‘Why am I always getting the damn dog.’ She continued to grumble to herself as she reached Yanna’s door. Kagura reached Yanna’s door. Kagura reached for the doorknob but stopped when she heard growling on the other side of the door.
Kagura slowly opened the door to Yanna’s room. When she looked into the room, she was greeted with a menacing pair of blood red eyes staring back at her.
“Come, InuYanna. Naraku wants you out in the courtyard,” Kagura sneered at Yanna.
Yanna continued to growl in order to get her point across. She knew that Kagura didn’t like her all that much anyways. So, Yanna decided to follow Kagura to wherever Naraku was at.
Kagura and Yanna walked down the hallway and out into the courtyard where Naraku and Sesshoumaru were at. Yanna nearly froze when she saw Sesshoumaru glaring at Naraku. Yanna immediately went and stood behind Naraku.
Sesshoumaru looked up at the giant demon dog standing behind Naraku. He took a closer look and realized who it was.
“InuYanna?!?” Sesshoumaru said with no emotion whatsoever on his face.
Yanna just growled at her older brother. She remembered Naraku saying something about Sesshoumaru breaking a promise to her.
“Yes, Sesshoumaru. This is what InuYanna had become. Don’t you like it?” Naraku asked.
Sesshoumaru could no longer contain his growl. He looked back at Naraku with a disappointed look on his face.
“What have you done to her?” Sesshoumaru yelled at Naraku as he stepped forward.
When Yanna saw Sesshoumaru step towards Naraku, she immediately got in front of Naraku to protect him from Sesshoumaru. She then started to growl fiercely at her advancing brother.
Sesshoumaru stopped dead in his tracks when he heard Yanna growling at him from in front of Naraku.
Naraku peered around Yanna’s huge paw to look at Sesshoumaru.
“You see, Sesshoumaru, the power of the jewel can do many things and this is one of them,” Naraku said, gesturing to Yanna.
“The jewel did that to her,” Sesshoumaru said to no one in particular.
Kagura, meanwhile, was staying out of the way. There was no way that she was going to get in the middle of this fight.
Naraku smiled at Sesshoumaru, who had a look of utter disbelief on his face. He had had enough of this conversation with Sesshoumaru. He looked up at Yanna and spoke.
“Destroy him, InuYanna,” Naraku said as he turned and walked away from her.
Yanna bowed her head slightly as Naraku walked away from her and Sesshoumaru. When Naraku had disappeared back into the castle, Yanna looked back up at Sesshoumaru. She growled as she slowly approached Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru stood his ground as Yanna slowly made her way to him. He could tell that Yanna didn’t want to fight him. But then again, every time they have fought so far, Yanna had always won. This was going to be a hard fight since she was in her true demon form.
“Stop this, InuYanna. Naraku is just using you. I am here to help you,” Sesshoumaru said as he took a step back from Yanna.
Yanna didn’t hear a word Sesshoumaru had said as she lunged at him. Her right paw made contact with is chest and sent him flying to the ground. Once Yanna attacked Sesshoumaru, she landed on the ground, on all fours, on the other side of Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru smiled as he brought his hand to his chest. He felt a wet spot on his haori. He then pulled his hand away from his chest and noticed the blood on it. Sesshoumaru snickered to himself.
“So, that is how you want to play, eh InuYanna?” Sesshoumaru asked as he got to his feet.
Yanna just growled at Sesshoumaru as he stood up. She watched him very carefully as he started to growl at her. Yanna knew that Sesshoumaru’s growling couldn’t be good. She watched as Sesshoumaru stepped back from her.
Sesshoumaru could feel the demon inside him wanting out so he obliged it. He could feel his eyes bleed red as he started turning into his true demon form. Once his transformation was complete, Sesshoumaru looked Yanna dead in her eyes.
~*You know it doesn’t have to come to this.*~ Sesshoumaru barked at Yanna.
Yanna looked at Sesshoumaru, stupefied. He couldn’t believe that she was able to understand him. So, she decided to try and talk just like he did.
~*Say what you may, but you will die.*~ Yanna barked back at him.
~*We will see, little sister.*~ Sesshoumaru said as he lunged at Yanna.
Yanna saw Sesshoumaru lunge at her so she went on the defensive. She sidestepped a little too late when Sesshoumaru’s paw hit her on the side of the head.
Yanna shook her head in order to get rid of the stars that were circling around it. She then looked up at Sesshoumaru as she growled.
~*Why do you want to hurt Naraku so badly, Sesshoumaru?*~ Yanna asked.
~*He is dangerous, InuYanna.*~ Sesshoumaru said back to her.
Yanna didn’t like the answer she was given. She growled loudly as she started to attack Sesshoumaru. Yanna got in a few good blows before Sesshoumaru started to retaliate against her.
The fight between Yanna and Sesshoumaru went on well into the night. Yanna finally called it quits when she couldn’t get off the ground. Just then, Naraku appeared at the entrance to the main building.
“I am very disappointed in you, InuYanna. You are going to pay dearly for your insolence,” Naraku said as he stormed over to Yanna.
By now Sesshoumaru had changed back to his normal self. He saw Naraku move towards Yanna. He wasn’t about to allow Naraku to kill Yanna a second time. Sesshoumaru immediately got between Yanna and Naraku.
“Stay away from her, Naraku,” Sesshoumaru growled out protectively.
Naraku smiled as he called out to the miasma and the jewel in Yanna’s body. He then walked past Sesshoumaru in order to get to Yanna. Once Naraku reached Yanna, he leaned down and put his hand on Yanna. He felt the miasma leave her body and return to his. Then Naraku stood up and had the jewel in his hand. Once that was done, Naraku turned and walked back into the castle.
Sesshoumaru watched all of this with wide eyes. He saw Naraku walk away from Yanna’s body and disappear back into the castle. Sesshoumaru slowly approached Yanna’s shaking body.
Once the jewel was removed from Yanna’s body, she transformed back to her normal self. But there was one thing that was wrong with her.
When Sesshoumaru reached Yanna’s body, he leaned down closer to her. He pulled off his haori and covered Yanna’s naked body before he picked her up in his arms. He took one whiff of her scent and noticed that the smell of her scent was that of a full demon. Sesshoumaru then looked at Yanna’s face and noticed that her demon markings hadn’t disappeared yet. Sesshoumaru immediately walked out of the castle courtyard. He then called forth his cloud of mist and flew off towards the Western Lands.

Chapter 33 ~ Yanna vs. Sesshoumaru
When Kagura left Naraku’s room, she was pleased that she didn’t have to watch over Yanna for once. In a way, she was happy that she was leaving the castle because she had felt something eerie in the castle. Once she was back outside, she took to the skies to see if anyone was looking for the inu-hanyou.
Kagura continued looking for any sign of someone looking for Yanna. Kagura was in no hurry to get back to the castle so she decided to continue her search. As Kagura continued her search, she suddenly came across Sesshoumaru.
When Kagura spotted Sesshoumaru, she immediately landed a good five feet away from him. She eyed Sesshoumaru with an evil glint in her eyes.
“Lord Sesshoumaru,” Kagura said vehemently.
When Sesshoumaru left the clearing where Yanna was taken from, he followed her scent back into the forest. He knew that he couldn’t waste any time in getting Yanna away from Naraku.
Sesshoumaru continued walking through the forest when he caught Naraku’s scent in the air. He stopped walking when he spotted Kagura flying through the sky. He knew that Kagura had seen him because she had landed a few feet from him. Just as he saw her land, he heard Kagura say his name.
“What do you want, Kagura?” Sesshoumaru growled at the wind sorceress.
Kagura just eyed the inu-Taiyoukai with fire in her eyes.
“I was sent to look for anyone that would be coming after InuYanna,” Kagura said to Sesshoumaru.
“So, what do you want with me then?” Sesshoumaru seethed back at Kagura.
Kagura was taken aback by his question. She knew that Sesshoumaru was looking for Yanna. Kagura then looked away from the dog demon lord in front of her before she answered him.
“I know that you are looking for your sister, InuYanna. I can tell you that she is not safe where she is at,” Kagura said while she looked back up at Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru took a step towards Kagura. He noticed that she didn’t move an inch when he stepped closer to her. He stopped in front of Kagura when he was mere inches from her face.
“If you know that I am looking for her, then why don’t you tell me where InuYanna is at,” Sesshoumaru stated coldly to her.
Kagura then pulled a feather from her hair and took back to the skies as she said, “You already know where she is at.”
Sesshoumaru growled to himself as he watched Kagura fly off. She was right about him knowing where Yanna was at. With that in mind, Sesshoumaru once again took off towards Naraku’s castle.
**Meanwhile**
Naraku opened Yanna’s door and saw the huge demon dog standing in the middle of the room. He was pleased to see what the jewel had turned Yanna into. Naraku went to step into the room when the dog demon turned and growled at menacingly at him. Naraku didn’t let the growling stop him from entering the room. Once in the room, he shut the door behind him.
“Now, now, my dear. I will not hurt you,” Naraku said as he moved closer to the demon dog.
When Yanna had heard the door to her room being opened, she turned her head and looked to see who was bothering her. She didn’t recognize the person who had entered her room. Yanna started to growl when she saw the person coming towards her.
When she saw him shut the door, Yanna growled even louder. She noticed that her growling had had no effect on him. She had calmed down slightly when he had said that he wouldn’t hurt her. Yanna didn’t know what to do so she backed off and bowed her head as she submitted to Naraku.
Naraku saw that Yanna was accepting the fact that he was being trustworthy. He was also happy that she was being submissive to him since a part of him was still flowing through her veins. Naraku also knew that since she was being submissive to him that she would be easier to control. Then Naraku walked up to her and placed his hand on the top of her head as he felt the miasma flowing through her.
“Come, my dear InuYanna. We need to get you prepared,” Naraku said as he turned and walked out of the room.
‘Prepare. Prepare for what?’ Yanna thought to herself since she could no longer speak out loud.
With that thought running through her mind, Yanna obeyed Naraku and followed him out of the room. She was worried that something bad was going to happen not only to her but to someone she really cares about.
**Back with InuYasha**
While InuYasha was sitting on the roof of the hut, he was thinking about how he was going to get Yanna away from Naraku. He was so deep in thought that he didn’t hear Kagome calling his name.
After Miroku had told everyone that InuYasha was on the roof of the hut, Kagome stood once more and walked outside. Once she was outside, Kagome looked up and saw InuYasha right where Miroku said he would be. She smiled when she saw that he was deep in thought about something.
‘He has to be thinking about InuYanna,’ Kagome thought to herself.
Kagome continued to smile up at InuYasha as she said, “InuYasha…”
InuYasha looked around when he heard his name being called. He looked down and saw Kagome standing there looking back at him. He smiled back down at her as he stood up on the roof and jumped down to the ground. He landed in front of her without making a sound.
“What’s up, Kagome?” InuYasha asked, still smiling at her.
Kagome just continued to smile at InuYasha. Then all of a sudden, she looked away from InuYasha and then to the ground.
“I was just wondering what you were thinking about, InuYasha,” she said still looking at the ground.
“I was just thinking about InuYanna and how I am going to get her away from Naraku,” he said quietly.
Kagome stepped closer to InuYasha. When she reached him, Kagome then pulled him into a hug. At first, she felt him go stiff but then he relaxed and returned her hug.
InuYasha then pulled away from Kagome as he looked down at her. She could tell that there was more that he was thinking about. Just then, Kagome stepped back from InuYasha with a concerned look on her face.
“You’re going after InuYanna, aren’t you?” Kagome asked while she was still looking at InuYasha.
InuYasha couldn’t find his voice so he could answer her. So, he did the next best thing. He nodded his head as he looked away from Kagome. He knew that Kagome would want to go with him but he didn’t want her to get hurt.
Kagome continued looking at InuYasha. She knew that he had to get Yanna back before something bad happened to her. So, she decided to let him go without a fight.
“Then go, InuYasha, and get her back before she is killed once again,” Kagome said as tears started falling down her face.
When InuYasha had caught the scent of Kagome’s tears, he looked back at her. He could tell that she was just as worried about Yanna as he was. He smiled sadly at what she had said but he still pulled her into a tight embrace.
“I promise, Kagome, I will bring InuYanna back safe,” InuYasha whispered in her ear as he lightly kissed it.
InuYasha then pulled away from Kagome as he turned and started walking into the forest. He wanted to put as much distance between himself and Kagome as he possibly could because he didn’t want her to see him crying. InuYasha knew deep down that he and Yanna may not make it back in one piece but he would make sure that one of them will make it back to the others when this is said and done with.
When InuYasha had pulled away form her, Kagome then watched him walk into the forest. She could tell that he was crying. Once InuYasha had completely disappeared into the forest, Kagome wiped away her tears and then walked back into the hut to be with the others. Kagome also knew deep down as well that she may never see InuYasha or Yanna again if Naraku had his way.
**Back at Naraku’s**
When Naraku and Yanna left the room, they walked down the hallway towards the door. Naraku was pleased that Yanna couldn’t talk back to him. He was going to enjoy turning her against InuYasha without her knowing it.
They continued walking down the hallway until they reached the doors that would lead them outside. Naraku pushed the doors open so they could walk outside. As they walked out the doors, Kagura landed in front of them.
When Kagura left Sesshoumaru, she headed right back to Naraku as fast as she could. She had to let him know that Sesshoumaru was on his way to the castle to retrieve Yanna. Once Kagura reached the castle, she saw Naraku and a large white demon dog walk into the courtyard. She then landed in front of Naraku and Yanna.
Yanna growled when Kagura landed in front of them. She then positioned herself between Naraku and Kagura while she continued growling. Naraku was pleased to see Yanna’s reaction to Kagura. He also smiled to himself as he saw Yanna defend him against Kagura, who was of no threat to them.
‘This is going to be easier than I thought. If she reacts this way to Kagura, then she will have no problems killing InuYasha or anyone else,’ Naraku thought to himself.
Kagura couldn’t believe that the demon dog blocked her path in front of Naraku. Kagura immediately raised her fan to attack the dog demon in front of her. Just then, Kagura looked from Naraku to the demon dog in front of her when she saw Naraku smiling.
“Don’t do it, Kagura,’ Naraku said from behind Yanna.
Kagura looked at Naraku, who was still standing behind Yanna. She wanted to know why he had stopped her from attacking the demon dog in front of her. Just then, Kagura looked from Naraku to the demon dog in front of her.
“If I am not allowed to attack this demon, then tell ‘it’ to back down so I can tell you what I have found out,” Kagura said to Naraku as she kept her eyes on Yanna.
Naraku just laughed as he eyed Kagura. He slowly stepped out from behind the growling demon dog as he made his way towards Kagura. When he had reached her, Naraku stopped just inches away from her face.
“InuYanna is only protecting her master,” Naraku said as he pulled back from Kagura.
Kagura couldn’t believe what she had just heard. She looked from Naraku to Yanna and then back to Naraku. She felt a small smile pull at her lips.
“So, this monstrosity is the pathetic inu-hanyou. She is going to be the one to destroy InuYasha,” Kagura said as she pointed up at Yanna.
Naraku never erased his smile form his face. He knew that Kagura had found someone that was looking for Yanna. He had to know who it was that was willing to try and take Yanna away from him this time. Just then, Naraku put his hand on Yanna’s leg as he spoke to Kagura.
“So, Kagura, who is looking for my new pet?” Naraku asked the wind sorceress as he gently stroked Yanna’s fur.
“It is not InuYasha or Kouga but it is none other than Lord Sesshoumaru,” Kagura said as she continued glaring at Naraku.
Naraku was a little displeased to hear that it was Sesshoumaru and not InuYasha that was coming after Yanna. Naraku then furrowed his eyebrows as he returned Kagura’s glare.
“Well, it looks like we are going to have to get started on the preparations sooner than we thought. Come, InuYanna,” Naraku said as he removed his hand from Yanna’s leg.
‘Sesshoumaru, but I can’t fight him. He’s family,’ Yanna thought to herself.
Once Naraku had removed his hand from Yanna’s leg, Naraku turned and started walking towards another part of the castle’s courtyard. Yanna had no choice but to follow Naraku. Just then, Naraku stopped and turned to face Kagura one more time. Yanna also stopped.
“Kagura, I want you to go and find Sesshoumaru. I want you to make sure that he gets here in one piece. Also Kagura, do not tell him what InuYanna had turned into,” he said with a hint of anger in his voice.
Once he said that, Naraku turned back around and continued walking with Yanna hot on his heels towards the area that he had set up for his plan. He knew that he had to turn Yanna against everyone that she loved.
When Naraku and Yanna had disappeared from sight, Kagura pulled the feather from her hair and took to the skies once more. Once she was flying through the skies, Kagura started her search for Sesshoumaru.
**Back with Sesshoumaru**
When he had parted ways with Kagura, Sesshoumaru continued heading towards Naraku’s castle. He could feel that something was wrong with Yanna. Sesshoumaru didn’t want to admit it but he had always had a close connection with Yanna ever since she was younger. He despised their father for hiding her away from everything she had ever known and loved. Sesshoumaru couldn’t help but remember the day that Yanna was taken form him.
~~Begin Flashback~~
Sesshoumaru was sitting in the garden, watching InuYasha and Yanna playing a few feet away from him. He watched as InuYasha had thrown Yanna to the ground really hard. Sesshoumaru got up from his spot and walked over to the two young inu-hanyou twins. He then picked InuYasha up by his neck and tossed him to the side.
Once Sesshoumaru had tossed InuYasha to the side, he then leaned down and picked Yanna up in his arms. Sesshoumaru cradled Yanna in his arms as he growled at InuYasha.
“You could have seriously injured her, InuYasha,” Sesshoumaru yelled at the inu-hanyou lying on the ground.
“She’s okay. I didn’t hurt her too badly. And besides, InuYanna needs to learn how to defend herself,” InuYasha growled back at his older brother.
Meanwhile neither brother knew that InuTaishou was watching then just a few feet away. He suddenly walked over to his sons and saw an unconscious Yanna in Sesshoumaru’s arms. InuTaishou looked at both of his sons before he spoke.
“What has happened here?” InuTaishou asked them both.
Sesshoumaru glared at InuYasha as he said, “They were horse playing around until InuYasha threw InuYanna to the ground, Father.”
When InuTaishou heard this, he looked very sternly at InuYasha.
“Is this true, InuYasha?” he asked his youngest son.
InuYasha looked away form his father. He knew that he was in trouble for hurting Yanna. When he felt that he was ready to feel his father’s wrath, InuYasha looked back up at InuTaishou.
“Yes, Father, it is. I didn’t mean to hurt her though,” InuYasha said with sorrow in his voice.
InuTaishou continued to glare at InuYasha as he said, “Sesshoumaru, take InuYanna to her room.”
Sesshoumaru nodded to InuTaishou as he turned and started walking back into the castle with Yanna. He knew that InuYasha was going to be in some serious trouble this time for hurting Yanna. Once he was inside the castle, Sesshoumaru then carried Yanna up to her room.
When InuTaishou was sure that Sesshoumaru was completely inside the castle with Yanna, he turned all his attention back to InuYasha. He knew that InuYasha didn’t mean to hurt Yanna but his youngest son needed to learn to be careful with her.
“InuYasha, I want you to go to your room and stay there until I come for you. Is that clear?” InuTaishou stated to InuYasha.
“Yes, Father,” InuYasha said as his ears drooped to his head.
InuTaishou watched as InuYasha turned and walked back into the castle. He couldn’t help but be rough on InuYasha because Yanna wasn’t as strong as InuYasha was. Once InuYasha disappeared through the castle doors, InuTaishou followed him inside.
Once Sesshoumaru had reached Yanna’s room, he opened the door and walked over to her bed. When he reached the bed, Sesshoumaru laid the now sleeping Yanna down on it. He then heard a noise outside Yanna’s door. When Sesshoumaru looked up to see what had caused the noise, he saw InuYasha standing there. InuYasha saw Sesshoumaru and ran to his room.
InuYasha had entered the castle and was heading towards his room when he saw Yanna’s door slightly ajar. InuYasha stopped and looked inside. He saw Sesshoumaru watching over Yanna. Then he pushed on the door and it made a scratching noise on the floor. He then saw Sesshoumaru look over at him. InuYasha didn’t stick around to see what Sesshoumaru would do to him so he took off towards his room at lightning speed.
InuTaishou saw InuYasha run from Yanna’s room. He smiled to himself knowing that Sesshoumaru must have scared InuYasha almost to death. Once InuYasha was gone from Yanna’s door, InuTaishou approached it. When he reached the door, InuTaishou pushed it open the rest of the way so he could enter the room. InuTaishou knew that Sesshoumaru had a soft spot for Yanna ever since she was born. He then sensed Sesshoumaru’s irritation so he spoke up before he was attacked by his oldest son.
“It’s only me, Sesshoumaru. How is she?” InuTaishou asked as he walked over to Yanna’s bed.
Sesshoumaru didn’t look at his father as he answered, “She is doing okay. She is sleeping now.”
InuTaishou was pleased to hear that. With her being asleep, it would make his plan easier to work. He didn’t know if he could put his daughter through the name-calling and the other things that could happen to her since female half-demons are very rare. InuTaishou was about to implement his plan when Sesshoumaru stopped him.
“What are you doing to her?” Sesshoumaru asked his father angrily.
“I am concealing her demon attributes and then I am going to have her hidden away until the time is right for her to come back,” InuTaishou said as he continued what he was doing before Sesshoumaru stopped him again.
Sesshoumaru just looked at his father as InuTaishou finished what he had started. Sesshoumaru was having a hard time understanding what his father was saying to him. InuTaishou looked up at his son before he finished with Yanna. He could tell that Sesshoumaru was having a hard time understanding what was said.
“Let me explain, Sesshoumaru. There will be a demon in the near future that only InuYanna will be able to destroy and this demon will know all this as well,” InuTaishou said as he finished concealing Yanna’s demon side.
Once InuTaishou had finished, both him and Sesshoumaru looked down at the now human Yanna. Sesshoumaru almost didn’t recognize her. He knew that Yanna and InuYasha turned human once a month but Sesshoumaru never really paid attention to it even though Yanna spent those nights in his room for safety. Then Sesshoumaru looked back up at his father with questions running through his head.
“Father, you said that InuYanna will be the only one to destroy a demon in the near future. Can you tell me the name of this demon so I can keep him away from her?” Sesshoumaru asked.
InuTaishou just looked at his eldest son as he slowly answered, “The demon’s name will be Naraku. Promise me, Sesshoumaru, that you will not let this demon hurt InuYanna in any way.”
“I promise,” Sesshoumaru said to his father.
With that said, both Sesshoumaru and InuTaishou walked out of Yanna’s room. Once they were out of Yanna’s room, Sesshoumaru turned and walked off towards his own room. InuTaishou watched as Sesshoumaru had disappeared around the corner.
Once Sesshoumaru had totally disappeared around the corner from sight, InuTaishou signaled for one of the servants to follow him back into Yanna’s room. When InuTaishou and the servant had entered the room, InuTaishou walked over to Yanna’s bed.
“What is your wish, my lord?” the servant asked, bowing slightly.
“I want you to take InuYanna somewhere safe, Anise,” InuTaishou said as he picked the sleeping Yanna up.
“Yes, my lord,” Anise said as she bowed once again.
When InuTaishou had Yanna in his arms, he then walked over to Anise. He waited until Anise held out her arms before he put Yanna in them. Once Yanna was safely in Anise’s arms, InuTaishou turned and started gathering up some things that Yanna was going to need when she was able to return to her one and true home.
“Anise, I want you to take these things with you and give them to whoever will be taking care of my little girl,” InuTaishou said as he handed the pack to Anise.
“Yes, my lord,” Anise said as she turned and walked out of the room.
InuTaishou then walked over to the window and watched as Anise left with his one and only daughter. InuTaishou didn’t turn around when a figure walked into the room.
“So, she is gone then,” the figure said.
“Yes, Izayoi, she is. Are you sure we did the right thing by sending her away?” InuTaishou asked as he turned around and faced his mate.
“Yes, my love, we did. We had to make sure InuYanna would survive so she could face her destiny in the future,” Izayoi said as she walked up to InuTaishou’s side.
When they were satisfied that Yanna was going to be safe, InuTaishou and Izayoi walked out of their daughter’s now empty room.
It wasn’t too long after that that InuTaishou lost his life while battling Ryukotsusei.
~~End Flashback~~
Sesshoumaru had never forgiven his father for sending Yanna away even to this day. Sesshoumaru stepped up his pace even more. He knew that Naraku would have found a way to turn Yanna against everyone that she loved by now.
Sesshoumaru was continuing his journey towards Naraku’s castle when he had caught Kagura’s scent as she landed in front of him.
Kagura glared at Naraku’s back as she pulled the feather from her hair and took to the skies in search of her prey.
‘One of these days I will be totally free of Naraku,’ Kagura thought to herself as she flew through the sky.
Kagura continued to fly around while looking for Sesshoumaru. She was surprised when she found the inu-youkai lord not far from the castle. She tried to sneak up on Sesshoumaru but she got caught. Kagura saw Sesshoumaru stop and look up at her.
Kagura landed in front of Sesshoumaru when she realized that he had seen her. Once Kagura was standing in front of Sesshoumaru, she smiled at him evilly.
“What do you want, Kagura?” Sesshoumaru growled at the wind sorceress.
Kagura’s smile never faded from her face as she answered, “You are almost there. By the way, you are going to love Naraku’s surprise that he has for you.”
“What surprise?” Sesshoumaru growled even louder.
“You are just going to have to come to the castle in order to find out,” Kagura said as she took to the skies once more.
Sesshoumaru was reaching his limits with Kagura’s little games. Now Sesshoumaru had to get to the castle even more. He knew that Kagura was trying to tell him that something bad had happened to Yanna. Sesshoumaru could feel his eyes start to bleed red as his anger started to rise and overtake him. It took all of his power to keep himself from transforming.
**Back with InuYasha**
Once InuYasha was far enough away from Kagome, he let his tears fall freely down his cheeks. He just wished that Yanna was okay for the time being. He continued walking through the forest towards Naraku’s castle.
‘I wonder what Naraku is going to do to ‘Yanna now,’ he thought to himself.
With that thought running through his mind, InuYasha started running through the forest at a fast rate of speed.
**Back at Naraku’s**
When Naraku and Yanna had walked away from Kagura, they headed towards the back of the castle. As they were walking, Yanna looked over at Naraku and noticed that he was smiling. She really wished that she could talk so she could find out what was going to happen to her.
‘I wonder what is going through his mind right about now,’ Yanna thought to herself.
Naraku must have sensed the turmoil in Yanna’s mind because he looked over at her. He didn’t say anything to her as he went over his plan in his mind. Naraku’s smile got even bigger when he realized that there was no way that his plan could go wrong.
Before Yanna knew it, they had reached the back of the castle. She couldn’t believe what she saw when they got there. As Yanna looked around the courtyard, she saw a mock battlefield in front of her.
‘So, this is what Naraku meant about preparations,’ Yanna thought to herself as she continued to look around.
Naraku continued looking at Yanna as he placed his hand on her left front paw and called out to the miasma in Yanna’s veins. He could feel Yanna trying to fight the miasma but she soon realized that she couldn’t win so she gave in. Naraku was pleased when he saw Yanna give into him.
Now, my dear InuYanna, we have to get started since Sesshoumaru will be here soon,” Naraku said as he started walking towards the battlefield.
Yanna refused to follow Naraku towards the battlefield. She couldn’t believe that Naraku was going to have her fight Sesshoumaru.
‘I won’t fight Sesshoumaru. I will not let Naraku’s plan to have me fight Sesshoumaru happen,’ Yanna thought to herself as she once again started to fight the miasma in her system.
Naraku stopped walking when he realized that Yanna wasn’t following him towards the mock battlefield. Once Naraku stopped walking, he turned and looked at the white demon dog standing just five feet away from him. He saw the perplexed look on Yanna’s face.
“You can’t fight it, my dear. Your older brother is coming to destroy you,” Naraku said as he tried to put a sad look on his face.
Yanna just looked at Naraku. She couldn’t believe what he had just said to her. She knew that Sesshoumaru wouldn’t hurt her.
Naraku watched as Yanna digested what he had told her. He knew that he hit a nerve with what he had just said. He gave Yanna a few more minutes before he decided to walk up to Yanna.
When Naraku decided that Yanna had pondered long enough, he started walking up to her. He cautiously made his way up to Yanna. He didn’t want her to attack him.
“I know that it all comes as a blow, InuYanna, but it is the truth. He will also destroy me after he is done with you. You have to kill Sesshoumaru if we are to survive,” Naraku said as he reached out and started stroking the fur on her leg.
Yanna looked at Naraku as he said all that to her. She growled slightly as Naraku stroked her fur in a loving manner. The more that Naraku stroked her fur, the calmer Yanna became.
‘There is no way that Sesshoumaru is going to hurt me or Naraku. I will kill Sesshoumaru first,’ Yanna thought to herself as she nudged Naraku with her head.
Naraku knew that Yanna had believed everything he had said. He had a smile on his face when he felt Yanna nudge him with her head. He knew that no one will be able to take her away form him now.
‘I now have complete control over InuYanna. No one will ever be able to take her from me, not even InuYasha or Kouga,’ Naraku thought as he continued to stroke Yanna’s fur.
Just then, Yanna started growling fiercely. She turned around and faced the way they had come from earlier. Yanna didn’t like the scent that was coming towards them. Yanna immediately put herself between Naraku and the intruder that was coming towards them.
Naraku couldn’t believe what he was seeing again. Yanna was once again protecting him from whomever it was that dared to enter the castle grounds. Naraku then removed his hand from Yanna’s fur as he saw Kagura walking towards them.
When Kagura left Sesshoumaru in the forest, she immediately flew back to the castle. She had to tell Naraku about Sesshoumaru. She flew as fast as she could back to the castle.
Once Kagura had reached the castle, she noticed that Naraku and Yanna weren’t in the front courtyard. She then smiled to herself as she remembered them walking towards the back courtyard as she left to go after Sesshoumaru. So, Kagura began her trek towards the back courtyard of the castle.
Kagura knew deep down that Sesshoumaru had figured out what had happened to Yanna and that will be enough to force him to quicken his pace towards the castle. Kagura continued to smile as she made her way to the back courtyard.
When Kagura had reached the back courtyard, she stopped as she saw Naraku talking to Yanna. Kagura couldn’t believe that the giant dog demon was believing everything that Naraku was saying. Just then, Kagura heard Yanna growling as she turned and faced the wind sorceress. The smile faded from Kagura’s face as Yanna once again put herself between Kagura and Naraku.
“What do you want, Kagura?” Naraku asked as he stepped in front of Yanna.
Yanna continued growling as she eyed Kagura. All Yanna knew was that she had to protect Naraku from anyone that would hurt him. Yanna could sense that Kagura wanted to hurt Naraku. Yanna then felt Naraku lightly touch her paw in order to calm her down.
“Now, now, InuYanna. Just calm down because Kagura can’t hurt me,” Naraku said without looking back at Yanna.
Naraku felt Yanna start to calm down as he kept his eyes on Kagura. He knew that if Kagura didn’t want to be reabsorbed back into him, then she wouldn’t hurt him.
“Now, Kagura, I will only ask you one more time. What do you want?” Naraku asked once again.
“I just wanted to let you know that Sesshoumaru is almost here,” Kagura spat out at Naraku as she turned and walked into the castle.
Kagura didn’t wait around to see Naraku’s reaction to just finding out that Sesshoumaru was almost there. She also knew that Sesshoumaru would be the one to free her from Naraku.
When Kagura had finally disappeared into the castle, Naraku then turned back around and faced Yanna. He could tell that she had calmed down somewhat. Naraku wanted Yanna to save all her anger and energy for when Sesshoumaru got there.
“Come on, InuYanna. We will go inside and wait for Sesshoumaru to show up,” Naraku said as he started walking towards the castle.
Yanna followed closely behind Naraku like a loyal puppy dog. She knew that she had a hard battle ahead of her. She also knew that Sesshoumaru would pay with his life if he hurt Naraku in any way.
Naraku and Yanna entered the castle from being outside. Naraku then looked back at Yanna and noticed that she was tired. So, he and Yanna walked down the hall towards Yanna’s room. When they reached her room, Naraku opened the door and Yanna walked into the room. Once Yanna was in her room, she laid down on the floor and fell asleep right away.
Once Naraku was positive that Yanna was completely asleep, he walked up to her. He wanted to see what was going on in her head. So, he reached out to her so he could enter her dreams. Naraku felt Yanna resist him at first but she eventually had let him enter her mind. When Naraku had finally entered Yanna’s mind, he was pleased to see her dreaming about her childhood.
~~Begin Yanna’s Dream~~
A four-year-old hanyou girl was running around the garden while her older half-brother was watching her. She was content to be outside playing in the sunshine.
“Be careful, InuYanna,” the older demon, Sesshoumaru, yelled to his little sister.
The young Yanna stopped what she was doing and looked at the demon that was watching over her. She flashed a smile to her older brother as she continued going about what she was doing previously.
“I will be careful, aniki,” Yanna called back to him as she continued running around.
Sesshoumaru continued to watch Yanna run around the garden. He couldn’t believe that she almost didn’t survive when she was born because she was so small. Sesshoumaru constantly got on InuYasha’s case about being rough with Yanna since she weaker than he was. He also couldn’t believe how much energy Yanna had. Sesshoumaru couldn’t help but smile at her since he rarely smiled for anyone or anything. He had promised himself that when Yanna was born that he would protect her no matter what came after her as she grew up.
“Come here, InuYanna,” Sesshoumaru called to Yanna.
Yanna turned and faced Sesshoumaru. She knew that he wasn’t mad at her so she wondered what he wanted. It didn’t take her long to make her way over to Sesshoumaru. Once she reached Sesshoumaru, Yanna bounded into his open arms and he hugged her close to him.
“What do you want, Sesshoumaru?” Yanna asked her older brother.
Sesshoumaru hugged Yanna even closer to him when he answered, “I just wanted to let you know that I will always protect you, ‘Yanna.”
~~End Yanna’s Dream~~
When Yanna’s dream had ended, Naraku left Yanna’s mind. He smiled to himself as he figured out how he was going to use that bit of information to his advantage. He slowly leaned down to Yanna’s ear.
“My dear InuYanna, Sesshoumaru has broken his promise to protect you. I am the only one that you can trust now,” he whispered sadistically in her ear.
Naraku pulled back from Yanna as she whimpered in her sleep. Naraku was pleased with how she reacted to what he had just said. He then turned and walked out of Yanna’s room.
Naraku was walking down the hallway towards his room when he was met by Kagura. He stopped walking when the wind sorceress came up to him.
“What is it< Kagura?” Naraku growled out.
“It’s Sessh… Sesshoumaru. He’s here,” Kagura mumbled as she looked at Naraku.
“Where is he?” Naraku asked with a sadistic smile on his face.
Kagura had to take a couple of steps back. She had never seen her master smile like that before. Kagura quickly composed herself as she prepared to answer Naraku.
“He’s in the courtyard, Naraku,” Kagura said as she stepped aside to let Naraku pass.
Just before he walked past Kagura, Naraku turned to her and said, “Go and wake InuYanna. It is time for her to show her big brother her new form.”
Kagura bowed slightly to Naraku and said, “As you wish.”
Kagura then walked off towards Yanna’s room while Naraku continued walking towards the courtyard.
Once Kagura had left towards Yanna’s room, Naraku continued walking towards the courtyard. He was surprised that Sesshoumaru was there already. Naraku’s smile got even bigger when he stepped out into the courtyard and saw Sesshoumaru standing there.
“Lord Sesshoumaru, what brings you to my castle?” Naraku asked innocently.
Sesshoumaru was pleased when he finally reached Naraku’s castle. He was one step closer to getting Yanna away from Naraku. As he walked into the courtyard, he saw Kagura look over at him from the other side of courtyard. He glared right back at her as he watched her go back inside the castle. He knew that Kagura was going to get Naraku.
And sure enough out came Naraku. Sesshoumaru wanted to growl at the vile hanyou but refrained from doing so. He had to remain calm if he was going to get Yanna back. Just then, Sesshoumaru heard Naraku call out to him.
“Lord Sesshoumaru, what brings you to my castle?” Naraku asked.
Sesshoumaru just glared at Naraku. He could tell that Naraku was overly happy about something and he knew that it included Yanna in some way.
“I am here to take back my sister, Naraku,” Sesshoumaru growled out.
Naraku couldn’t help but laugh at what Sesshoumaru had said.
“We’ll let her decide who she wants to go with,” Naraku said as he felt Yanna come up behind him.
Kagura walked away from Naraku and went to get Yanna. ‘Why am I always getting the damn dog.’ She continued to grumble to herself as she reached Yanna’s door. Kagura reached Yanna’s door. Kagura reached for the doorknob but stopped when she heard growling on the other side of the door.
Kagura slowly opened the door to Yanna’s room. When she looked into the room, she was greeted with a menacing pair of blood red eyes staring back at her.
“Come, InuYanna. Naraku wants you out in the courtyard,” Kagura sneered at Yanna.
Yanna continued to growl in order to get her point across. She knew that Kagura didn’t like her all that much anyways. So, Yanna decided to follow Kagura to wherever Naraku was at.
Kagura and Yanna walked down the hallway and out into the courtyard where Naraku and Sesshoumaru were at. Yanna nearly froze when she saw Sesshoumaru glaring at Naraku. Yanna immediately went and stood behind Naraku.
Sesshoumaru looked up at the giant demon dog standing behind Naraku. He took a closer look and realized who it was.
“InuYanna?!?” Sesshoumaru said with no emotion whatsoever on his face.
Yanna just growled at her older brother. She remembered Naraku saying something about Sesshoumaru breaking a promise to her.
“Yes, Sesshoumaru. This is what InuYanna had become. Don’t you like it?” Naraku asked.
Sesshoumaru could no longer contain his growl. He looked back at Naraku with a disappointed look on his face.
“What have you done to her?” Sesshoumaru yelled at Naraku as he stepped forward.
When Yanna saw Sesshoumaru step towards Naraku, she immediately got in front of Naraku to protect him from Sesshoumaru. She then started to growl fiercely at her advancing brother.
Sesshoumaru stopped dead in his tracks when he heard Yanna growling at him from in front of Naraku.
Naraku peered around Yanna’s huge paw to look at Sesshoumaru.
“You see, Sesshoumaru, the power of the jewel can do many things and this is one of them,” Naraku said, gesturing to Yanna.
“The jewel did that to her,” Sesshoumaru said to no one in particular.
Kagura, meanwhile, was staying out of the way. There was no way that she was going to get in the middle of this fight.
Naraku smiled at Sesshoumaru, who had a look of utter disbelief on his face. He had had enough of this conversation with Sesshoumaru. He looked up at Yanna and spoke.
“Destroy him, InuYanna,” Naraku said as he turned and walked away from her.
Yanna bowed her head slightly as Naraku walked away from her and Sesshoumaru. When Naraku had disappeared back into the castle, Yanna looked back up at Sesshoumaru. She growled as she slowly approached Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru stood his ground as Yanna slowly made her way to him. He could tell that Yanna didn’t want to fight him. But then again, every time they have fought so far, Yanna had always won. This was going to be a hard fight since she was in her true demon form.
“Stop this, InuYanna. Naraku is just using you. I am here to help you,” Sesshoumaru said as he took a step back from Yanna.
Yanna didn’t hear a word Sesshoumaru had said as she lunged at him. Her right paw made contact with is chest and sent him flying to the ground. Once Yanna attacked Sesshoumaru, she landed on the ground, on all fours, on the other side of Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru smiled as he brought his hand to his chest. He felt a wet spot on his haori. He then pulled his hand away from his chest and noticed the blood on it. Sesshoumaru snickered to himself.
“So, that is how you want to play, eh InuYanna?” Sesshoumaru asked as he got to his feet.
Yanna just growled at Sesshoumaru as he stood up. She watched him very carefully as he started to growl at her. Yanna knew that Sesshoumaru’s growling couldn’t be good. She watched as Sesshoumaru stepped back from her.
Sesshoumaru could feel the demon inside him wanting out so he obliged it. He could feel his eyes bleed red as he started turning into his true demon form. Once his transformation was complete, Sesshoumaru looked Yanna dead in her eyes.
~*You know it doesn’t have to come to this.*~ Sesshoumaru barked at Yanna.
Yanna looked at Sesshoumaru, stupefied. He couldn’t believe that she was able to understand him. So, she decided to try and talk just like he did.
~*Say what you may, but you will die.*~ Yanna barked back at him.
~*We will see, little sister.*~ Sesshoumaru said as he lunged at Yanna.
Yanna saw Sesshoumaru lunge at her so she went on the defensive. She sidestepped a little too late when Sesshoumaru’s paw hit her on the side of the head.
Yanna shook her head in order to get rid of the stars that were circling around it. She then looked up at Sesshoumaru as she growled.
~*Why do you want to hurt Naraku so badly, Sesshoumaru?*~ Yanna asked.
~*He is dangerous, InuYanna.*~ Sesshoumaru said back to her.
Yanna didn’t like the answer she was given. She growled loudly as she started to attack Sesshoumaru. Yanna got in a few good blows before Sesshoumaru started to retaliate against her.
The fight between Yanna and Sesshoumaru went on well into the night. Yanna finally called it quits when she couldn’t get off the ground. Just then, Naraku appeared at the entrance to the main building.
“I am very disappointed in you, InuYanna. You are going to pay dearly for your insolence,” Naraku said as he stormed over to Yanna.
By now Sesshoumaru had changed back to his normal self. He saw Naraku move towards Yanna. He wasn’t about to allow Naraku to kill Yanna a second time. Sesshoumaru immediately got between Yanna and Naraku.
“Stay away from her, Naraku,” Sesshoumaru growled out protectively.
Naraku smiled as he called out to the miasma and the jewel in Yanna’s body. He then walked past Sesshoumaru in order to get to Yanna. Once Naraku reached Yanna, he leaned down and put his hand on Yanna. He felt the miasma leave her body and return to his. Then Naraku stood up and had the jewel in his hand. Once that was done, Naraku turned and walked back into the castle.
Sesshoumaru watched all of this with wide eyes. He saw Naraku walk away from Yanna’s body and disappear back into the castle. Sesshoumaru slowly approached Yanna’s shaking body.
Once the jewel was removed from Yanna’s body, she transformed back to her normal self. But there was one thing that was wrong with her.
When Sesshoumaru reached Yanna’s body, he leaned down closer to her. He pulled off his haori and covered Yanna’s naked body before he picked her up in his arms. He took one whiff of her scent and noticed that the smell of her scent was that of a full demon. Sesshoumaru then looked at Yanna’s face and noticed that her demon markings hadn’t disappeared yet. Sesshoumaru immediately walked out of the castle courtyard. He then called forth his cloud of mist and flew off towards the Western Lands.
