Chapter 1
Enemy In The Shadows
Inuyasha sat by the camp fire thinking of all that had happened recently while his companions slept. Naraku was becoming harder and harder to find. Every time they did find him he would use one of his puppets to distract them long enough so that he could escape. It was as if Naraku was trying to stall them for some reason. But what reason would Narku have to stall them Inuyasha wondered. His thoughts then turned to Kagome. He loved her more than she could ever know and hated hurting her when he went to see Kikyo but he felt that if he didn't go see Kikyo he would be breaking his vow to protect her.
Sighing Inuyasha looked up from the fire and froze. He felt a strong demonic presence coming from the windows. Not wanting to disturb his fellow companions he got up and headed in the direction of the presence. As he followed the presence he noticed that it was unusually dark in the particular area he was in. Shrugging it off as him just being tired he continued to follow the presence. Eventually it led him to a clearing. The presence ended there. Inuyasha frowned. There was no way a presence could just end like that. As he pondered where the presence could have gone he was surprised to see his brother Sesshomaru walk into the clearing.
" So you felt it as well half breed," Sesshomaru stated looking directly at Inuyahsa.
"And if I did what are you gonna do about it bastard," Inuyasha replied
" Nothing but give you this warning, that presence gave off a very powerful wave of darkness it would be wise to avoid this presence because whatever this is more dangerous than even Naraku," Seshomaru said.
" More powerful than Naraku, Seshhomaru that thing isn't stronger than Naraku your just tryin to make me worry so much that I become vulnerable," Inuyasha replied
" No half breed I am not tryin to make you vulnerable, this Sesshomaru does not need to make you vulnerable to be able to fight you. If I wanted to fight you, I would have already drawn my sword," Sesshomaru told his brother. And with that Sesshomaru left his brother in the clearing pondering his words. Inuyasha headed back towards camp wondering the whole time about what Sesshomaru had said. What if there was a greater threat than Naraku lurking out there, how were they supposed to defeat Naraku and that. Not wanting to think about it anymore Inuyasha jumped into a tree overlooking his camp and slept while a figure watched him from the shadows. The figured smiled knowing that soon his plan would be put into action and that the world would be his to rule.
A week had passed since that night and Inuyasha felt the presence every night. On this particular night though the presence was especially strong and his companions noticed he was quieter than normal.
" Is everything alright Inuyasha you seem quieter than normal," Kagome asked him. He smile at her and replied, " Jus thinking about what's going to happen after we defeat Naraku." He knew what he told her was a lie but he didn't want to worry them about a threat he didn't know anything about other than the fact it was a stronger than Naraku. For now he would keep that to himself.
" Inuyasha after we defeat Naraku are you going to stay here or go to hell with Kikyo," Miroku asked.
" No, I won't be going to hell with her Miroku, After we dfeat Naraku I will have fulfilled my promise to protect her," Inuyasha said making sure to word it right so that Kagome would be happy. Miroku nodded slightly and was to ask something else when a loud slap was heard. Everyone shook their heads. Would Miroku ever learn to keep his hands of Sango's ass. As Inuyasha looked around the camp he knew that no matter what enemy they faced or how strong it was they would find a way to defeat it together
