------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Shikon no Tama now complete, the Inu gang now travels around the country helping those in need, mostly slaying demons. Naraku is destroyed, and though Miroku's Wind Tunnel will not get any bigger, he still has it in his right hand, which comes in useful cleaning up dead demon bodies. Most of the time though, they are walking aimlessly from village to village, asking if the people need help with anything, after convincing the villagers that Inuyasha is not an evil demon, and unless they get on his nerves, he will not harm them.

Right now, the gang is walking through a thick forest, which supposedly hid a village from view. For some reason or another, Inuyasha keeps muttering about time-wasters, and how the village probably doesn't exist. And keeps hitting Shippo on the head for no apparent reason. Kagome had to "sit" him twice in the forest already.

Kagome, who not only finished her miko training at home, has mastered the art of archery, and is never seen without a bow in her hand and a quiver of arrows strapped to her back. Shippo, who had just complained to Inuyasha about his constant muttering, has ended up with two big bumps on his head. "Inuyasha!" yells Kagome now, "Osuwari! Osuwari! Osuwari! Osuwari!"

"OW!!! What didya do that for???" Inuyasha grumbles. "I'll tell you what I did that for! I did that as punishment for harassing Shippo!" Kagome yells back. It took a bump from Miroku's staff and Sango pulling Kagome away from Inuyasha to shut them both up. "Would you both just be quiet and get along with each other for once?! Geez!" Sango said. But Kagome and Inuyasha had no time to reply, because two huge demons had just appeared. One of them was a three legged dog demon, and the other was a giant dragon. The dog demon looked strangely familiar though....

"Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha growled, "Come to have another arm chopped off?" He pulled out the Testaiga, and got ready to slay his older brother, when Sesshoumaru turned back to his human form and spoke. "Actually, I'm here for you AND the girl," and he indicated to Kagome. "Leave Kagome out of this!" Inuyasha snarled. "Aren't we touchy. Is it true that you have feelings for this weak human?" Sesshoumaru said coolly. Both Inuyasha and Kagome blushed, and Miroku and Sango smirked, while Shippo looked at them, confused. It was true though, and the only people here who doesn't know would be Kagome and Inuyasha themselves.

"So, little brother, it's true, and you're taking a lesson from our dear father, aren't you, worthless hanyou!" Sesshoumaru laughed. Apperently, he didn't notice the two red streaks across Inuyasha's face. When the Shikon no Tama was complete, Kagome used it to turn Inuyasha into a youkai, but since he wasn't born a youkai, he still had one drop of human blood left in him, which he used to keep his mind and heart, or else he would have destroyed Kagome and the others already.

"I'll show you how worthless I am." Inuyasha growled. (He didn't bother to tell Sesshoumaru he was a youkai now) "Like I said, I'm not here to kill you, only to knock you and the girl out then bring you back to the castle I inherited from Father, where you will meet your downfall, and I will claim what's rightfully mine ---- the Tetsaiga!" Sesshoumaru yelled out the last part. Then he commanded the dragon to destroy the other three, while he takes care of Inuyasha and his little friend.

Inuyasha lashed out at Sesshoumaru with Tetsaiga, which Sesshoumaru easily dodged. Then, skilfully, he leaped over Inuyasha and landed behind him before he knew what happened. "Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed, "Get up!" But Sesshoumaru was too fast for him. He then kicked Inuyasha in the head, knocking him unconscious. Then he turned to Kagome. "Your turn, pathetic human." Kagome fired off an arrow and missed by several feet because she was shaking so hard. Then she backed up, and Sesshoumaru knocked her unconscious too. Sango, Miroku and Shippo had just managed to finish the dragon off, and just saw Inuyasha and Kagome being kidnapped by Sesshoumaru. "No! Kagome! Inuyasha!" Sango yelled. But they were already too far for them to hear them.

A/N: Well, what do you think? This is my first fanfic, so please, no flames. Oh and if you don't review, I won't put up the next chapter. If no one reviews, how will I know if anyone read it? I don't like putting up things no one reads.
