Thank you for being patient for me to update, I've been so busy and had nothing but bad luck. I was finally able to write these last few chapters, but I totally didn't back them up and my computer crashed so I had to rewrite these chapters again! I've also been busy with school, work, and helping out with my Girl Scout troop, soo much fun. Thanks

Chapter 25

The Fight

Ryu and Sesshomaru were talking about what to do about Tatsu when a knock sounded on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and Bankotsu and Jakotsu walked in. The both bowed before taking a seat across from the two of them.

"What is going on and where is Kagome? We were looking for her," Jakotsu questioned.

"Naraku's brother attacked Kagome," Ryu answered.

"Do we know his name yet?" Bankotsu quarried.

"It's Tatsu."

All four heads snapped to where the voice came from. Standing there was Kagome being held up by Cyrus and Kurama while Inuyasha was watching the hallways.

"Will you let go of me! I said I was fine and I walked here by myself, so let go!"

"This is true, but you almost fell three times on the way here," Cyrus shot back.

"Well I have Sesshomaru and my father here so let me go!"

Kurama let go of Kagome while Cyrus just tightened his hold. She turned her head to him and glared. She waited another minute before drawing back her free hand and punched him in the face successfully making him release her.

"Inuyasha, go check the rooms around my room and if there is someone in them then bring them here please," Kagome requested before turning back to Cyrus. "I'm sorry for punching you, but you didn't listen and you should know by now that I hate when people don't listen."

She smiled sweetly, a bit too sweetly if you asked Ryu, Sesshomaru, Bankotsu, and Jakotsu, at Cyrus.

"What now?!" Cyrus exclaimed hearing the pounding of running feet.

"Well if I'm right in my suspicion you'll find out soon enough, right Tatsu?" Kagome answered pulling out a dagger and placing it against Cyrus' throat.

"Kagome that isn't…never mind you know," Inuyasha sighed as he came in with Cyrus.

The fake Cyrus sighed and transformed back into Tatsu. He smirked at Kagome before biting down on her wrist. She winced in pain before turning the blade and slicing his neck. They both jumped apart and glared.

"You freakin bit me! I hope you don't have rabies," she commented.

Tatsu just cocked his head to the side in confusion. He then shook it off before looking around the room. He was surrounded by Kagome's allies with no chance of escape. He returned his gaze to Kagome and glared.

"If I'm going to be killed, I'm taking you with me!" Tatsu screamed as he charged toward Kagome.

Kagome easily dodged the attack and ran out of the room, towards the gardens. Tatsu followed her out the door before anyone could stop him. Sesshomaru sighed and followed along with everyone else. When they reached the gardens, Kagome and Tatsu were locked in a hand to hand combat. Kagome took a swipe at Tatsu with her claws and caught him in the chest as he tried to dodge. He growled in response before charging her. She easily dodged it however, she was caught off guard as he turned and placed his hand around her neck, slamming her into a tree.

"Oh dear, what are you going to do now love?" he questioned.

"I'm not going to do anything baka," she replied as her hand came up to wrap itself around Tatsu's hand.

"Really, so you're actually gonna give in finally?"

"No, because they are going to beat your ass thoroughly."

Tatsu turned his head only to meet with golden eyes. He looked a little to the right to see Cyrus, Kurama, Inuyasha, Ryu, Bankotsu, and Jakotsu glaring at him. He turned back to Kagome and smirked.

"They won't do anything as long as my hand is around your throat," he answered confidently.

"Then you know nothing of Sesshomaru-sama. Sesshomaru wasn't happy when you called me love, so he will beat you sensless."

"If he beats me senseless, then he'll end up injuring you now wouldn't he? So again, they won't touch me."

At this point, Kagome was finding it increasingly difficult to breath as Tatsu cut off her air supply. She looked up at Sesshomaru and nodded her head. She began purifying Tatsu's hand as Sesshomaru wrapped his hand around his throat.

"As I said, he will beat you senseless while I slowly purify your sorrow ass!" Kagome growled as she snapped his arm off.

The others watched in astonishment as they did exactly what Kagome said they would do.

"Fucking bastard, now what do you have to say!" Kagome yelled at the pile of ash that was Tatsu before turning to everyone else. "So, shall we go inside and prepare Sesshomaru's and I mating ceremony before some other crazy demon shows up and wants revenge or something."

"Of course Kagome, but I want you to know that as soon as the ceremony is over, I will be stepping down as Lord to go live with your mother," Ryu replied.

"But, but you can't! I'm not ready to take over the lands! I have no idea what to do or how to do anything! You still need to teach me everything!" she screamed.

"Kagome don't forget that you can still visit your mother and I and you also have Sesshomaru to help you. He is after all your mate-to-be and Lord of the Western Lands."

"That's right, I have my Sesshou to help me!"

"So are we going to plan the mating ceremony or what?" Inuyasha questioned.

"Yes, I need to go find Sango and you can do whatever you men do," Kagome replied before speeding off.

"Well this is going to be interesting."

They all nodded their heads in agreement before heading to Ryu's study.

Please R&R. Thanks again!
