Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the original characters.

A/N: Alright the in the last story Naraku came back to life, but he is actually a zombie. With the whole Inuyasha and Sesshomaru thing to kill Naraku I shall clarify stuff. What Naraku meant was that Sesshomaru has to use the Tensaiga, while Inuyasha is supposed to use the Tetsusaiga; like what they did with Sounga from Swords of an Honorable Ruler. Alright now on with the story!

Chapter 1: The hunt begins

"So Kagome Inuyasha is dead now?" Miroku asked Kagome.

"Yes. Naraku pushed him down a cliff just like he did with Kikyo. I grabbed the Tetsusaiga, which was on the ground." Kagome was once again on the verge of tears. One thing she was happy for was the fact that when she found the Tetsusaiga, Naraku made the one mistake of staying at the cliff. She shot him with her arrows. He won't be causing trouble for awhile, hopefully.

"So Kagome your saying Inuyasha is not dead then?" Miroku's face was completely serious.

"What do you mean Miroku?" Sango and the others looked at him in confusion.

"Well she said just like Kikyo. If I remember correctly Kagome, when Naraku tried to take care of Kikyo he failed. You saved her on her last day. You purified the miasma that was spreading throughout her entire body. So Inuyasha may or may not be dead." Hope then flickered in Kagome heart. 'Inuyasha please be alright. If you are still alive, stay safe and do not let the demon inside of you to overcome you without the Tetsusaiga.'

Inutaisho walked over by Izayoi. She was holding herself, and pacing back and forth. He put his left hand on her right shoulder.

"Izayoi, he is going to be ok, alright?"

"Inutaisho I know he is but, I finally see him all grown up and then I find out he is going to die. What's worse is the fact that it's his brother who ends his life!" Izayoi was now crying on Inutaisho's right shoulder. He rubbed her back, calming her down with his gentle voice.

"It's going to be okay, Izayoi. We will find him, Kagome will purify the miasma. He is not going to die on you alright. I promise you." Izayoi managed a smile.

"There you go again making those promises that you don't know if you can keep."

"I can keep this one. The swords will keep me updated right?" That's when Tetsusaiga, who was placed under Inutaisho's care, spoke loud and clear.



'That's right my lord! Tensaiga, Sounga, and I shall always keep you updated. Well probably not Sounga, but Tensaiga and I will.' Izayoi smiled. The swords were always the same even after all those years since Inutaisho had Toutosai forge them.

'My head hurts. What happened? Where am I? What was I doing? Ugh! My head is killing me! I think I lost my voice though, and I can tell there is miasma spreading throughout my body. Wait! I remember now! I was fighting Naraku, and then he pushed me down that cliff. I was in the miasma for some time, and then a barrier went around me and teleported me somewhere else. I wonder just where am I though? There's no scent of Naraku anywhere, so it is not his castle. I sure hope Kagome is safe and everyone else. Sesshomaru didn't come in time or I didn't yell in time. Probably was me. Any ways I yelled as I was plummeting down towards the miasma, so I yelled too late. I wonder can I walk? Only one way to try! Yes! I can walk! Kagome hang on! I'm coming! Naraku can't keep me hidden forever!'

"Kagome are you sure this is a bright idea? I mean come on. We don't know for sure if Inutaisho can wield Tetsusaiga, and we don't even know where Inuyasha is. That's IF he is still alive." Sango and Kagome were both in the hot spring talking about their journey ahead of them.

"Sango it is the only way for us to find him. I mean come on, Sango we have how many dog demons with us now? There is Sesshomaru, Inutaisho, Belladonna, Rose, Sahara, Alesandro, and Sinnoch. Five dog demons and two half dog demons or at least with some dog demon in them. I'm sure Sesshomaru could find his scent easily cause he has known Inuyasha the longest. I'm sure now that Inuyasha IS alive." Sango sighed. Once they were done bathing, the group set out for their main goal: Inuyasha. Which they didn't know right now, but he was in the opposite direction the entire time.

Ok I'm sorry it is short, probably going to be the shortest chapter of all. I am going to give a hint though for chapter two. Kikyo is the one who first finds Inuyasha but decides not to say anything, she only helps him. Kaede also has a better part in chapter two. Alright Review! As you can see Inuyasha is not dead, he is just merely dying very, very, very, very slowly. Alright enough hints! Review!
