"Gah, you bastard!" Inuyasha cursed and jumped back, holding his tensaiga by the hilt with one hand. His other arm dangled to his side with the sleeve torn and purple coloring tainting his skin. Yogu with his strict features and his odd golden eyes had spiders all over the left side of his body. His katana which was directed at Inuyasha, glimmered with red and blood dripped off the tip. Inu got poisoned during his fight with Hanai and his one arm became useless. The hall was just covered in spiders, everywhere he'd step, a crunch would sound off. "What do you want with L/N, huh?!" Angrily shouting, all he received was silence...until.

"I'm afraid... I cannot say. By now, Rei Nago should have already made it out alive with her. So... I bid you farewell, Inuyasha," With that said from Yogu, Inuyasha growled and lifted his blade, preparing to use his wind scar. Just before he even could, Hanai had dispersed into dark violet venom and seeped through the cracks on the floor. All the spiders covered up the spot where he left and allowed Yogu a safe escape... Inu was furious.

"Damn you! Where'd you go, you coward?!" he furiously yelled and waved his tensaiga about, the only thing that shut him up was Kagome. The spiders crawled back into their crevices and cleared out from the hall, it now being safe to step foot in there.

"Inuyasha, your arm!" Kagome sprinted up to her husband and lightly gripped his arm, examining it with a focused expression. Inu just blushed and looked away, grumbled at the attention he was getting from his beloved. "We need to extract the poison! Myoga, can you please?" she questioned pleadingly and saw him poke his head out from Inu's white hair.

"Of course, anything for the young master,~" Apparently the little flee himself climbed into Inuyasha's hair right after the fight ended. So, he made his way down Inu's arm and poked him, sucking out the poison that got mixed in with his blood. The more he drank, the fatter he got and he eventually fell off. "So... Delicious..." he moaned at the taste and laid on his tummy, he was rather satisfied now.

"Thanks!" Kagome said happily and smiled from relief, before looking back at his arm again. "How's it feel?" she questioned her hubby and knitted her brows, obvious concern on her face.

"Better..." he faintly smiled and blushed, until a familiar voice sounded off behind him.

"Yogu Hanai fled, didn't he...? I don't see his corpse anywhere..." Sesshi spoke as he sauntered up behind the two, still butt naked. All heads turned to face the lordship and Kagome's features turned ten shades of red. Sure she was used to seeing that by now, but coming from someone other than her own husband was a bit unsightly.

"Damn it Sesshomaru, get some clothes on! What're you trying to do, scare off the guests?!" Inu exclaimed with a sound of disgust and shielded his and Kagome's eyes from the sight. "Yeah, he ran away! Happy now?!" he added, growled in a low breath, and kept his one arm risen to remain shielded. "That man said that his partner already ran off with her by now, so he made a break for it!" Adding to his speech, not once did he dare peek at his brother...

Y/N blinked confusedly behind a blindfold that she magically wrapped around her head. She had assistance with walking, having her hand on Obsidian's shoulder and staying close beside him so she wouldn't run into anything. "You can try convincing him, he won't do it. I guess going commando is his style now," she sweatdropped and frowned, still blushing madly from the image printed in her innocent mind. I'm forever doomed to see that in my head now, aren't I...? her mental thoughts sounded and she groaned, with a tight clench of her fist. Everyone grew confused at her going commando comment, only Kagome knew what she meant.~

"So I take it, you killed him without that man knowing? Haha, he's going to be upset once he finds out that you killed him!" Inuyasha laughed and grinned up at his brother, still not removing his hand from Kagome's eyes. "I can smell the blood all over you, you reak!" he added and saw Kagome turn around, soon he plugged his nose with that very hand that shielded her eyes.

"Wait, where was Asashi the entire time you guys were fighting?" Y/N asked, unaware of the curious and confused faces around her. As if on cue, her very sensei himself appeared before them all with the head of Yogu held up in the air.

"I believe...you forgot him..." Asashi bluntly stated and expressed no signs of care that Sesshomaru was naked. He dropped the head to the floor, which only rolled near Y/N's feet by accident. "Letting enemies escape when the situation involves Y/N could be fatal... Let's not risk any casualties or enemy plans to further themselves... I saw him retreating from the palace when I went out searching for Rei Nago a moment ago. It's good to know that he's been...taken care of..." he said, peeked over at Y/N, then darted his orange eyes between her and Sesshi.

A faint smirk grew on his lips out of amusement, he could tell just by looking at her red face and blindfolded eyes, that her mind was still innocent. She obviously did that to avoid any kind of scaring or to have her virgin eyes to be ruined any further, he could tell.

"Oh my... Sesshomaru, I had no idea you were that kind of man,~" Inukimi chirped up and walked around the group, smirking. Onyx came running around with some new clothes in hand, apparently, his mother called for some assistance regarding the matter and Onyx seemed to be the same size as Sesshi. So he brought over clothes from his personal wardrobe.

That was like the second time already that someone had mentioned that... He wanted so badly to sigh, but thanks to his awesome ability to show no emotion at all aside from anger, he only closed his eyes. "Mother, you know well, why I am naked..." he mumbled and took the clothes from Onyx, who only chuckled at his words.

"Yes, I'm well aware," Inukimi replied teasingly and watched her son dress in the temporary clothing. Kagome managed to sneak out of the hall and grabbed a drink off her and Inuyasha's table then soon came right after, with it in her hand. "I asked for some spare clothing, so you wouldn't have to walk around naked in front of your future wife.~" Now those words, made Kagome spit out the drink, Inuyasha to slip on the substance and fall on the floor, Onyx widening his eyes, Obsidian to scowl, and caused Y/N to exclaim.

"WHAT?!" Y/N shouted in surprise and whipped the blindfold off all at the same time. Luckily Sesshi got dressed in time... Even the lordship himself, a foot or so ahead of her, stood wide-eyed at his mother. "What do you mean, future wife?!" she exclaimed once more and had a heated face.

"Simple. I decided, since my son here is taking awfully a long time to find a woman, I chose to find one for him. I can clearly tell that he favors you, L/N." With closed eyes, Kimi tilted her head to one side and smiled. "I am aging by the day, a grandchild would be lovely right about now,~" she teased, chuckled, and caused her own son to squint his yellow eyes at her.

Suddenly, it felt like her soul just left her body. She fell limp onto Obsidian's shoulder with a red face and fainted right there with an overly-dramatic sigh of disbelief. Everyone just stood there staring at her out-cold frame, then back over at Kimi. "I can't possibly let Queen Suji have her way, can I? What better way than to beat her at her own game?" she added, chuckled, and left the hall.

Asashi's orange eyes followed her form as she left, then sighed with closing eyes. "It appears not only does Queen Suji wish to marry Y/N with one of her sons, but Inukimi desires the same. However... I won't defend Y/N this time..." he smirked, walked out of the hall, and left a dumbfounded Inuyasha, Obsidian, Onyx, Kagome, and a wide-eyed Sesshomaru there. Myoga seemed out of it, asleep to even care about the conversation.

"My, it seems my mother and lady Inukimi are rivaling now," Onyx chuckled lightly and scratched the back of his head nervously. "I guarantee, my lord, I have no interest in her. I've tried talking my mother out of it, but she wouldn't listen. I'm sorry..." he said with honesty, bowed then fast-walked out of the hall.

Sesshomaru just stood frozen in place. Never in his entire life has he known his mother to act in such a way, nor was he ever told that she wanted a grandchild at some point. She never talked about those things... "Hmhmhm, well, at least I won't have... Much...competition.~ My brother is out of the picture,~" Obi stated quietly and held Y/N closer to his side, letting her lay unconsciously on him a bit more. As if on cue, what Inuyasha and his wife never expected to happen, was to witness Sesshomaru's behavior.

The lordship himself whirled around, grasped her from Obi's side, and picked her up bridal style. Quickly he vanished from sight, leaving the rest of the group in utter, awkward silence.

What made the silence break was when Inuyasha busted out laughing at his brother's unexpected antics. "Lord Sesshomaru!" Little Rin shouted in unison with Jaken and came around the corner, but halted in their step when he was nowhere in sight. Her innocent face scrunched up in worry and Jaken fumed angrily, assuming he was still out fighting that man.

"Hey, Rin! Sorry... He left just before you got here... I... Don't know where he went," Kagome knelt down with hidden sympathy and patted little Rin's head reassuringly with a soft smile. Rin only pouted and whined, she hoped Sesshomaru and Y/N were okay; if the young woman was there and conscious, she would've had a heart attack...

"I'll go look for him. He is, after all, my old friend.~" Obi playfully stated and he too vanished out of sight. That surprised everyone, well, more of Rin and Jaken.

Everyone else never really knew the batman to begin with. Rin and Jaken have never seen him move with such speed before, at least, not from how long they've known him so far. Nothing but a man of mystery is what Obsidian was to them...

Y/N's eyes fluttered open groggily, groaned all the while, and saw the moon just above her head. Instantly she sat up, frantically looked around with wide eyes and a frown. "What happened, where am I?!" Her head moved around aimlessly to try and figure out her surroundings. Right next to her sat Sesshomaru, they were just outside of the partially torn down palace, sitting in the purple flower garden that almost got destroyed from the clone fight.

She was nearly confused, she thought for a second that someone had kidnapped her again. So with quick reflexes, she stood up and did comical karate moves with her hands with wide, round, white hysterical eyes. "Oh, it's just you..." she sighed in relief at Sesshomaru and sat back down next to him. He wasn't fazed by her antics, which was why he hardly moved when she reacted that way. "Why am I here?" she asked, blinked, and looked at the beautiful flowers that danced with the soft breeze.

"I have questions..." Sesshi said in his monotonous voice, then closed his golden eyes. She blinked curiously at him and lifted a brow, finding it odd that he would want to talk privately during a ball... Or what's left of it. "Why... Do I find myself wanting to protect you, as much as I do towards Rin...? What kind of Ketix magic are you using, to blind me with such unwanted enchantment...?" his questions left Y/N speechless. Not once did he peek over at her, he kept his golden eyes shut the entire time.

Mouth agape and eyes wide, she never expected HIM to want answers for questions like that. THE lord Sesshomaru, asked her for some answers... Answers, that not even she knew how to give. All had fallen silent and they remained there awkwardly, her beautiful alien eyes glimmered from under the moonlight as she looked back up at the sky. "Magic...? If I had that, I would've used it on something else instead of enchanting someone with it," she muttered, thankful that the night sky hid her heavily blushing face.

"So... Not even you know...? If not magic, then what is it...?" He asked, more like stated to himself than to her, and opened his golden eyes. He peeked over at her frame, saw her gazing upon the many stars above, and could smell her scent that was mere inches from him. His hand got placed behind her on the ground then leaned in and smelled her neck. She went stiff at the close quarters, feeling his warm breath lightly graze her skin and his soft hair brushing her shoulders.

"I'm gonna g-go check on Rin!" With that said she hysterically bolted up, ran back into the palace, and left an awkward silence in the air. He remained in that position even after she bolted from her spot, as stiff as a board he was. He sighed, faint flushes on his cheeks and his golden eyes peered up to view the moon.

Now only the moon was in the scene and his voice soon filled the air. "She is indeed...innocent..." His words were barely spoken, it was merely a faint mumble but loud enough to be heard.
