Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha

The Silver Hanyou sat in his escape boat in the middle of the ocean. He sighed a sigh of relief as he stopped rowing his boat. He glanced towards the rising sun and smirked. "Sorry, but you didn't get me this time." He turned to look back towards Koga's ship. He could still smell the smell of Kagome on the clothes he wore. He frowned. He didn't know what to think. She was his enemy, as well as something more. He shook his head. 'No, there's no time to think of her as anything other than the enemy.' He thought. He started to row his boat once more when he heard a cannon fire. The Silver Hanyou turned around to see a massive ship pull up beside Koga's. Koga's ship had smoke coming from it.

"Shit!" He growled. "Sesshomaru!" He could not believe that Sesshomaru was attacking the ship. Inu Yasha smirked. No doubt Sesshomaru was searching for him. Then his face fell. " Kagome…" He shook his head. 'No, she can take care of herself.' He turned to look as people abandoned the ship. Could she really defend herself from Sesshomaru?

Kago grabbed her bow and arrow and rushed to the highest location on Koga's ship. She glared down at the massacre below her. Sesshomaru's forces had shot a cannon ball into the side of their ship, which was causing the ship to sink rapidly. Kago aimed her arrow at a man attacking Ginta who was loosing the battle. Pink lights flew from the arrow as it impacted the attacker's back. He released a scream as he fell over. Ginta looked up at Kago and gave her a thumbs up. Kago returned the gesture. She glanced around to see where else she could hit. There were so many attackers on the ship. She pulled out another arrow and placed it against her bow. Her eyes fell upon Sesshomaru who walked onto the ship as if he owned it. His narrow eyes scanned the scene before him.

"Where is that InuYasha?" He grumbled. He pulled out a sword with a glowing blue blade and swung it aimlessly before him. Lightning shot out from the blade, electrifying Koga's crew. Kago gasped at the sight.

"That's a yokai sword!" Kago breathed. She knew all about those mystical weapons. Even before she had become a pirate. Her mother told her and Sango all about them, and how to stop them. She aimed her arrow at the sword, and released it. The arrow bursted out in pink flames as it flew towards the sword. Sesshomaru glanced sideways at her arrow and quickly moved his sword to block the arrow. The arrow collided with the sword, causing a pink explosion. Kago grinned with satisfaction as Sesshomaru tried to protect his eyes from the amazingly bright light. Once the light dimmed, Sesshomaru looked at his sword. The arrow fell to the ground beside his foot. Sesshomaru's sword no longer glowed; it looked like a normal useless sword. Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he swung his sword. His eyes quickly looked over to see Kago as she lowered her bow.

"What do we have here?" He cooed as he bent over to grab the arrow. His eyes scanned the arrow, and then he broke it in his hand with no effort. "This arrow has no powers, and yet… I know the purifying arrow. Only one other woman had this arrow… no… weapon. This woman was one who enchanted my father… a human woman with powers that could bring down the most powerful demon." Sesshomaru looked up at Kago. "You look a lot like her, don't you?"

Kago glared at him. "Leave this ship at once unless you wish to be purified as well!"

Sesshomaru chuckled. "This power still exists." He glanced over at his soldiers. "Seize her!"

Kago pulled out more arrows and placed them against her bow. She fired the arrows all at once, hitting the men in their chests dead on target. The men fell over simultaneously. Sesshomaru watched with amusement. "I see, you not only have the purity abilities, but the accuracy of your own father."

Kago remained quiet and alert. She could feel everyone's eyes on her. Koga was only a few feet from her, and his was the worst. She could feel the admiration pouring from him. "Leave this ship, Sesshomaru! Or I will purify you as well!"

Sesshomaru shook his head. "Now, why would I leave such a deadly weapon to us yōkai on this ship, roaming free? Hmmm?" He grinned as he tossed the sword onto the ground. He lifted his arm up as a green fog appeared around it. With out further words, Sesshomaru leaped towards Kago. His nails grew as he got closer to her. "Die!"

Kago braced herself for the impact. A pink light emitted from her entire body, ready to counteract Sesshomaru's poison.

"Kagome!" Koga yelled as he leaped towards Sesshomaru.

Kago's eyes snapped open. "NO! Don't!" She screamed, but it was too late. Koga's body slammed into Sesshomaru. Blood splattered Kago as Koga fell onto the ground in agony. He clutched his stomach as blood mixed with poison spewed from it. Kago shook her head frantically. "Baka!" tears welded up in her eyes as she gazed down at Koga's fallen form.

"Baka! Now you will die a slow painful death!" A soldier of Sesshomaru's said.

Kago glared at Sesshomaru. "You… you… monster!"

Sesshomaru leaped towards her once again. Kago's body once again emitted the pink glow. However, once again, Sesshomaru did not make it to her. Kago stared wide eyed at the impossible sight.

The Silver Hanyou glared at Sesshomaru as his sword caught Sesshomaru's claw. His golden eyes glared into Sesshomaru's golden eyes. "What are you doing? Picking on defenseless little girls? This isn't like you, Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru grinned as he leaped backwards. "You finally show yourself, InuYasha."

The Silver Hanyou felt dread seep up his back bone. However, he did not have the time to care. His rival was the toughest rival he had ever fought. His own half brother, Sesshomaru. "Keh, I was not hiding, if that is what you're implying."

Sesshomaru smirked as he leaped towards InuYasha once again. He swung his claw towards InuYasha. InuYasha leaped to the side as the poison sprayed out from Sesshomaru's claw and onto the deck. It instantly melted the deck. Kago turned from the shocking battle to run over to Koga's side. She took his head and placed it on her lap. Koga looked up at her and grinned.

"See, I knew you were special." Koga whispered as he closed his eyes and took a deep swallow. "Kago, I want you to know that I was very serious about us. I never joked about it."

Kago shook her head as she tried to hush him. "Shh… everything is going to be fine."

Koga pressed his lips together as Sango made it to their side. She fell to her knees and examined the wound. She could see that most of his stomach was actually eaten by the acid. She looked over to Kago and shook her head slowly. With this kind of injury, he would never survive.

"Kagome… I love you so much." Koga groaned as he closed his eyes.

Kago looked over at Sango. "I need the bandages!"

Sango gave Kago a questionable look, but ran off. Kago leaned down and placed her lips beside Koga's ear. "I will not allow you to die here, not today. Not on my watch." She glanced over at the two men battling. She knew that if she did this, she would be unconscious for several hours. However, what was the sense in having these abilities if she never used them? Kago watched as Sango rushed back with tons of bandages. Kago smiled at her older sister. "Sango, once I'm done, I need you to bandages him up for me. Okay?"

Sango shook her head. "NO! I can not allow you to use that!"

Kago glared at her. "I can not allow him to die!"

"Kagome! You can die if you do this!" Sango yelled.

Kago shook her head. "I will not die. I never use this unless it's a matter of life and death!"

Sango shook her head frantically. "The last time you used it, you almost died!"

Kago smiled at her. "I would die any day for my sister."

Sango felt her tears fall down her cheeks. "No!"

Kago placed her hands onto Koga's stomach and a pink light emitted from her entire body. The light then shot onto her hands, then into Koga. Kago closed her eyes and focused on Koga's life force. She had to use this ability to purify his body, and her own heart to stop him from thinking of dying.

Sango watched in awe as the green glow vanished from Koga's abdomen. Then, his flesh slowly was reformed. Sango looked up at Kago. Kago released her hold on Koga as she fell over. Koga's wound was not fully healed, but the poisons and the worst part was gone. Sango check Kago's pulse. It was still there, but weak. Sango quickly placed the bandages around Koga's waist. She then glued them in place before she cradled Kago in her arms.

InuYasha exposed his own claw as Sesshomaru flew towards him. InuYasha clided his claw with Sesshomaru's. The two glared at each other intensely. "Why did you interfere?" Sesshomaru mused.

InuYasha glared at him. "I did not interfere."

"I was going to kill your betrothed." Sesshomaru snickered. "A meaningless human girl with the ability to destroy us all." Sesshomaru swung his other claw into InuYasha's stomach. "Now I know why he chose you to marry her, you hanyou."

InuYasha gagged as Sesshomaru's claw dug into him. He didn't let it get to him as he sliced at Sesshomaru with his other claw. "It's not like you to talk so much, Sesshomaru." He growled.

"She has the ability to turn any of us into a human. Especially, you." Sesshomaru informed InuYasha as he pulled his arm from InuYasha' gut. "Just like her mother."

InuYasha broke away from Sesshomaru and he shook his sword. "Shut up!"

Sesshomaru grinned. Now was the time to strike. Instantly, Sesshomaru took on his true form. He roared out loud as his claws dug into the deck of the ship. He then looked down at InuYasha. This was the opportunity he needed to take out as many humans as possible, along with this hanyou who's blood tainted their bloodline. He jumped into the sky and quickly flew down towards the ship. InuYasha leaped up towards Sesshomaru and swung his sword towards Sesshomaru's left arm. The blade sliced through Sesshomaru's arm like butter. Sesshomaru released a holler of agony as he plumaged into the ocean waters. His arm fell onto the ship. InuYasha landed by the steer and replaced his sword into his hoister.

Sango looked up at him through her teary eyes. InuYasha watched as Sesshomaru's crew rushed off their ship, defeated. He released a chuckle as he looked towards Sango. He frowned at the sight of Kago on the ground, unconscious. "She's a miko as well then, right?" He asked Sango.

Sango looked down at her sister. "Yes. She is the one who was supposed to carry on the miko blood and duties. She used to hold the honor with pride, however, as time went on, she no longer held it so dearly. She hated having everything in her life planned out for her. Even her fate after marriage. They taught her how to be a lady, and a warrior so that she could fulfill her miko duties."

InuYasha looked away. "Why did they want her to marry…" InuYasha looked at Sango. "Do you know if she was to turn me into a human as well?" He held up his sword at Sango's throat.

"Turn you into a human?" Sango choked. "How would I know? You should be grateful to her though, she wanted nothing to do with it. She escaped, just like you did. I can't believe you are the one she is betrothed to." Sango shook her head. "You're just as much of a monster as that Sesshomaru."

InuYasha placed his sword into his holster. "You better believe that! I will never become a human. Ever. Now that I know this about her, I will never get near her again, unless to kill her with my own hands!"

Sango looked at him with anger. "You will never touch her!"

InuYasha looked down at her. "You're right, I won't. My blade will do all of the work." He quickly withdrew his sword and aimed it at Kago's throat. "When she wakes up, tell her that the Silver Hanyou will not rest until she is dead."

Sango glared at him as the sun gleamed off his blade. "I will tell her that InuYasha is an asshole."

InuYasha moved the blade to Sango's throat. "Mention my name to her, and I'll kill you as well."

Sango opened her eyes widely. "You don't want her to know that you are both InuYasha and the Silver Hanyou?"

InuYasha glared at her even more as he pressed his blade against her throat. "InuYasha is dead."

Sango pressed her lips together as she watched InuYasha leap from the ship. She couldn't help but to wonder if the other InuYasha was in fact really him as well? Were those two completely different men the same?
