Inuyasha woke up in the middle of the night to a familiar scent.
"Naraku." he said quietly to himself so he wouldn't wake the others.
He silently leaped down from his perch on a tree growling softly to himself.
He made a quick head count to make sure all were accounted for and safe. Miroku and Sango with Kirara in a ball at her head where on one side of the fire but plenty of distance away from each other in case the letch tried anything, and on the other side was Kagome with Shippo curled to her side for warmth. If it wasn't for the looming threat of Naraku he might have simled at the site.
"Okay" he thought to himself, " Sango, Kirara and Miroku are still weak from the last battle for a shard, Shippo is to small and Kagome...Kagome could get hurt."
The last thing he wanted was for Kagome to get hurt.He couldn't stand to see her in pain. He had no idea when it happened all he knew was that at some point in the three years that he had known her he had grown to like her. Maybe even love her.
Deciding it was best to go alone he gave one last glance at the slumbering group and sniffed the air. Once had latched on to Naraku's stench he began to track it.
He was hopping from tree top to tree top so fast that to the untrained eye all there was to see was a blur of red. To Inuyasha all he saw was a blur of green that was the forest he passed through. He was lost in thought while his body ran on automatic, tracking down Naraku.
" His sent is so strong, he must be close by or he's slipping up. After all it could be like that other time I found him easily. It was his weak night. He is only a hanyou. That bastard."
Inuyasha soon came to a clearing. It was a dark and dismal place and only a small cottage occupied the large empty area. " This doesn't seem like something Naraku would do. He might have passed through here or something because I dont sense anything. Gah! What a waste of time." Inuyasha thought to himself as he unsheathed his tetsusaiga.
There may not have been any sign of Naraku, or life for that matter, but he wasn't on to take big chances, escpecially when it came down to Naraku. Naraku was deceitful and down right unpredictable. He chopped right through the front door making a quick entrance. He had no idea who or what was waiting for him. Little did he know he had walked right into naraku's trap.
