Chapter 1
On Watch
Inuyasha watched silently, out in the distance, looking up at the starry sky. He took a deep breath through his nose of the air, trying to find a scent he recognized. Nothing. He hated when he had to stay up for watch, so no demons could attack them while everyone was sleeping. He leaned the Tetsusaiga against his shoulder, and looked back at the other. But mostly caught himself looking over to Kagome, watching her sleep peacefully in her sleeping bag, or whatever she called it. He somehow felt something towards her. Like he'd do anything for her, like he did with Kikyou. Kagome looked so much like her, but they act totally different. He turned his head away and smiled to himself, closing his eyes, once again sniffing the air for a demon scent that could be near. Nothing. "Can you please stop sniffing the air so loudly? You might wake everyone else up." Said a voice, Inuyasha was always annoyed to hear. He narrowed his eyes, and looked to his right to see Miroku, standing there after coming from patrolling the forest. He held onto his shakujou (monk staff) tightly, and slightly frowned, as he noticed how Inuyasha was looking at him. "Oh. Why are you glaring at me, Inuyasha? I was only saying-"
"Will you shut up. I'm only sniffing the air to pick up a demon sent to see if there are any near. So get those sick images out of your head why I would be sniffing the air. I'm not like you." Miroku blinked a few times before dropping his shakujou onto the ground and gawked at Inuyasha. "Oh yeah? Whats that suppose to mean, Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha couldn't help but smirk. "I've seen you. Every time we pass of meet a pretty girl, you take a big sniff of the air. So don't hand me any of that crap saying you were only going to sneeze." Miroku shut his eyes and looked away and grabbed the shakujou off the ground and headed for his sleeping bag. "Yes, sure Inuyasha. You must have been really watching me, to get all that down. I'm not to sure about you." Inuyasha frowned at Miroku's comment, a deep growl formed in his chest, as he watched Miroku slip into a sleeping bag between Sango and Kagome. He turned away quickly, as his ears peeked up something like the sound of running footsteps. He looked over to his right, to see a few bushes moving. A frown formed on his face, as he began to stand, his hand reaching slowly for the Tetsusaiga, his powerful hand gripping onto the handle tightly, then stood just a few feet infront of the bush. He watched as it moved again, and could hear the sound of a pounding heart. He drew the Tetsusaiga, sniffing the air, but could smell no demon scent. It could be a monster, like they had fought earlier. Inuyasha raised the sword higher slightly. The bush moved and suddenly jumped out. He swung the sword with such ease. The sword whistled through the air cutting the thing completely in half. Blood sprayed the ground, and the two halves fell to the ground. He brought the sword down and looked to see what it was. "Ahahahahaha! Now your killing rabbits Inuyasha! Whats your issue, Are you paranoid?" laughed Miroku who had happened to be watching. Inuyasha looked. "What? I'm not paranoid. This was a mon-" he had then looked down to the halved creature. And lay there in two pieces, was a rabbit. Inuyasha groaned and slapped his forehead, as Miroku laughed harder, causing to wake Kagome and Sango up. "What's so funny?" asked Sango as she took a deep breath. Kagome agreed with her, as she sat up rubbing her eyes. "Yes I agree. Why are you laughing in the middle of the night?"
Miroku laughed and pointed at Inuyasha. "He killed a defenseless rabbit, because he thought it was a monster! AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Kagome and Sango both looked at Miroku then over to Inuyasha. Kagome gasped seeing the halved rabbit on the ground. "Inuyasha! How could you!?"
Inuyasha's body heated alittle; his face began to redden. "Well! It wasn't like I meant too! The little fucker jumped up at him! What was I to expect! It's dark!!!!" Miroku laughed harder. Sango shook her head, and grabbed Miroku's pillow and slapped hi upside the head with it, before dropping it to the ground. "Will you shut up? I want to get some sleep before tomorrow." Kagome stretched out her arms and yawned. "Yeah. Me too." She said and laid down, cracking an eye; to look at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha? Your going to bed pretty soon rig-" she sat up, and gasped, seeing Inuyasha wasn't there anymore. "Where did he go?!"
Sango sighed and laid back down. "Oh he probably just went to take a walk and cool off." Miroku couldn't help but grin. "Or kill more defenseless rabbits." Sango shot a dark look at Miroku as he laughed, but soon shut up noticing the look and lay down to go to sleep. Sango smirked and laid down aswell. Kagome looked as the two laid down, and fell fast asleep, but she couldn't now knowing Inuyasha had gone out into the woods alone, in the dark. She got out of her sleeping back, and quickly threw on her school uniform, and grabbed her bow and arrow before running off into the woods after Inuyasha. She thought which scared her more was, that the moon wasn't out tonight, and if it isn't Inuyasha would soon become Human and wouldn't be able to use the Tetsusaiga, so if he got attacked by demons. She shook the thought out of her head and continued on her way after Inuyasha.
