A/N: My apologies for the lack of updates, I haven't had much time that I could use on this. I also had severe writers block…. Please don't kill me…. I haven't eaten my pie yet

Sango went back to the tent set up around the strange individual discovered in the bushes after Inuyasha had slaughtered the demon incarnate (which had its attention focused on said individual) with a single well placed Backlash Wave. Once again Sango made the observation that the person was strangely clad (in an unnecessarily revealing warrior garb.) They discovered upon checking the woman's wounds that she likely had a mild concussion which had rendered her unconscious.

After tending to her patient's injuries, Sango noticed a slight murmuring. She's waking up! she thought to herself, I may be able to get more information about her.

"Hey, Sango! Kagome and Inuyasha are back!"

Well, I guess I'll have to wait on that one. Sango rushed to where she heard Shippo's voice, and sure enough, the half-demon and the reincarnation of Kikyo had returned.

Later...

As Rachel awoke, she noticed that she was in a dark, yet comfortable tent. After her eyes had adjusted to the darkness, she quickly noticed her gear lying on the ground. Rachel slowly stood up to retrieve her belongings, when she gravitated towards her war hammer. She felt drawn to it due to a strange aura it was giving off. As Rachel picked up her weapon, she slid her hand to the large jewel at the end. As soon as her fingers had touched it, the jewel let out what felt like an electric shock, which nearly knocked Rachel head over heels to the floor. She put down the weapon, not wanting to get shocked again. Suddenly, however, she felt her right arm go numb. She also had extreme difficulty using her fingers. She could still use them, but it was as if they were partially paralyzed. The Fiend Hunter gasped, as she was short of breath. The only thing Rachael could hear, along the perimeter of her senses, was a slow, slithering, scuttling, making its way over her wrist.

Naraku sat at a small table with sake in hand, smiling at a newcomer which promised him a great reward even to him. The said individual sat across the table from him, a mask covering most of his "face" if it could be called that it was a strange blue flame, contained inside a suit of samurai armor. Naraku also noted two powerful demonic swords at the individual's side, but his current payment would sate him for now.

"It is done." Naraku said. "Though unfortunately, this task seems to have ended in the death of that incarnate, he was weak, but I assumed from your information that she would be less able to resist."

"She likely had assistance from someone, it is not my fault if you have… unpopular opinion in this world." The stranger replied.

"Yes, there is one group in particular, one which has plagued me for awhile."

"Perhaps in the future we can make another arrangement to deal with this as well." The strange warrior suggested.

"Perhaps," Naraku chuckled (or ku ku ku, whatever it's called) "Doku."

Again, big thanks to drunkenwerewolf for helping with dialog. Neither of us own Inuyasha or Ninja Gaiden. If we did, we'd be rich.
