The cave erupted in supernatural chaos.

Sesshomaru moved first - a blur of white and poison, his whip lashing out with deadly precision. Hiten barely managed to dodge, dragging Heather as a shield.

"Coward!" Inuyasha roared, his Tessaiga transforming, glowing with demonic energy. "Half-breed or not, I'll tear you apart!"

Heather, caught in the middle, wasn't exactly helpless. "Seriously?" she muttered. "Another kidnapping?"

Sesshomaru's cold voice cut through the tension. "The half-breed fights well."

Inuyasha's ears perked up at the rare praise, his determination burning even brighter.

Manten, still holding his ridiculous hair-growth potion, looked terrified. "This wasn't part of the plan!"

Inuyasha's half-demon blood surged with power. "WIND SCAR!"

The devastating attack split the ground, forcing Hiten to jump back. He lost his grip on Heather for just a moment.

"NOW!" Heather shouted, her own magical energy erupting.

Jaken, watching from a safe distance, screamed, "LORD SESSHOMARU AND THE HALF-BREED ARE DESTROYING THEM!"

Hiten realized too late that kidnapping a mate of two powerful demon lords - one full demon, one half-demon - was the worst mistake of his immortal life.

Sesshomaru's poison claws met Hiten's thunderbolt. Inuyasha's wind scar tore through the cave's structure. Heather's magic crackled, adding another layer of destruction.

"MINE," both demon lords growled simultaneously - one full, one half, both equally deadly.

Manten dropped the hair-growth potion and tried to run.

He didn't get far.

Heather looked at her mates, covered in demon blood and cave dust. "We're going to need a bath."

Inuyasha's ears twitched, a mix of pride and lingering insecurity. "Worth it."

Sesshomaru simply nodded. "The half-breed performed... adequately."

Inuyasha: "Hey!"

Jaken fainted.

Another day in the Inu family's life had come to a chaotic close.
