(Inuko POV - Bottom of the canyon - A few minutes later)

"The should be the last of them." I growled out as I sheathed Tessaiga as I looked at the soul leaving the smashed remains of a shibito. One of a number that survived falling down the canyon once that old hag sliced the bridge in half.

I managed to avoid the fate of a majority of the shibito by jumping on a low hanging branch and than onto a pile of debris and broken shibito without even a scratch.

Only to be landed on by Kaede and Shippō by a giant leaf. Honestly I was reprieved that they were alright, but also annoyed that they landed on me.

That and a good number of shibito survived the crash although thankfully a number of them were cracked or damaged. They were easy enough to deal with, but still quite a lot of them. I'd dealt with a majority of them when Y/N and Yura descended down by her hairs.

I was relieved for a moment that they where okay, less so when I heard that Kagome was captured by Urasue.

Especially less so when I heard the yokai that was behind what happened that accursed day was here as well!

I was thankful for some more shibito that I could rip apart!

Either we go after Kagome to prevent that old hag to bring back Kikyō's soul or I go after the yokai that was behind everything that happened and lead to her death and being strung in that kami forsaken tree for decades! Along with encountering Ryūma again if he went after it!

Damned if I do, damned if I don't!

As much as I wish to go after the yokai, it survived 50 years without me sinking my claws into it. I was just going to postpone it by a few weeks at most!

Preventing Kikyō from coming back fully and getting Kagome back comes first. If I had time later and got lucky I can rip that yokai apart later! We just needed to hurry.

Speaking of which.

"You done yet Y/N?" I asked as I turned to face him and Yura.

The both of them on the riverbank, surrounded by debris and a recently broken pair of shibito nearby Yura as she sheathed Benigasumi while Y/N pulled an ice sphere filled with water before freezing it close and placing it in his gi.

For the past minute or two since explaining everything he's been doing that, repeating what he did against Hiten. Probably to conserve his yoki as I don't know how much he has left. If he has to face Ryūma again or worse if Urasue does bring Kikyō under her control he is going to need it.

"Yes I'm already, though it looks like Kaede is more than ready than everyone else." Y/N said, pointing to Kaede.

Who was trying to scale the cliff face despite the broken arm and her age with Shippō by her side.

She certainly is determined, I will give her that.

"There is no time to waste." Kaede said as she tried to climb a large before I sighed and jumped towards her.

"Come on, it'll be faster this way." I said, picking her up and placing her on my back before looking down at Shippō. "You climbing on?"

Shippō looked at the cliff and me before shaking his head.

"Not this time." Shippō said with a determined look before he started to jump up from rock to rock rather quickly, getting me to smirk before I began to jump after him.

Kit's starting to come a long way.

Shaking my head clear of those thoughts as we hurriedly along the cliff face with Y/N being carried by Yura.
