"Ahhhhh!" Thud! Inuyasha flew back wards, hitting a tree." Inuyasha!!" kagome screamed. He struggled, but stood up. "It'll take more than that, naraku!" "Hahaha, you fool, this is my strongest reincarnation yet." "We'll see about that!" he concentrated and swung his sword, attempting to use the windscar. "Take this!!" The beast sprang up, dogging the windscar. "Ah!" shippo cried. "That's impossible!" Said sango. Inuyasha just stared. "I told you it was no use. Now, you will die!" naraku signaled to the beast to attack. It obliged by charging forward at inuyasha. Kagome and the others could not do anything, as they were immobilized by fear and astonishment. Inuyasha braced himself and gripped his sword. "I have one more chance; I just have to hit its throat." He told himself. He trembled, 'But, what if it doesn't work? What will happen to kagome?'

As he was worrying, a figure leapt through the trees. As it looked at the scene below, its eyes widened. It immediately took action.

********************** Inuyasha's intuition kicked in, he had to get out of there. He leapt to the side, and not a moment too soon. A figure came across where he was standing. As he watched the figure, he remembered, "kagome!" he ran towards her. She and the others were being shielded by kirara. "Inuyasha? Inuyasha!" she cried. She ran to him and hugged him. "Your ok!" "Wait, if you're here, than who's fighting the beast?" miroku asked. "I don't know." He answered. Just then his sensitive nose picked up something. "Huh?" "What is it inuyasha?" kagome asked. "That smell, it's so...familiar." "What do you mean?" "Forget that! Look!" sango pointed to naraku, who was trying to escape. "Get him!" Yelled shippo. Miroku and inuyasha sprinted towards naraku. "We'll get him this time!" miroku said confidently. "Heh, just try." Naraku said. "Don't worry, I will!!" inuyasha leapt at him, only to get caught in a cloud of miasma. Naraku laughed. Don't be a fool, I'm unstoppable. "I don't think so." Naraku turned to face miroku. "Ah, the fearless monk has come to destroy me. Am I right?" "Don't tease me naraku!" "Oh? And why not?" "Grr, you've said you last!" miroku started to remove his prayer beads. "Are you that forgetful, monk?" Poison insects started to fill the sky. "I don't care about them anymore." "Oh? So you wish to die then?" "As long as you die along with me!!" he unleashed his wind tunnel.

******************** "Garug!!" the beast howled as a blade stabbed his eye. Sango and kagome heard the beast's cry and ran to help the figure. "Kagome! Attack from the left flank!" sango said. "Alright!" she answered. As she rounded the beast she looked at the figure. 'Oh my god...' she was astonished by what she saw. The figure turned to see kagome staring at her and then panicked. She looked around rapidly, trying to get away, and hoping that the human hadn't seen too much. "Kagome! I need you!" cried sango. Kagome snapped out of her trance. "I'm coming sango!" she took one last glance at the figure and ran to sango's aid. The figure watched them for a few minutes and thought that the humans had it under control and could finish the beast off. She looked around the castle grounds until she spotted inuyasha and miroku. She quickly started towards them but stopped when she saw miroku's wind tunnel. She looked around and assessed the situation. She sprinted and started to attack the insects. Inuyasha crawled out of the miasma and saw miroku. "Miroku! What are you doing!?!" he flinched as a shadow leaped past him. 'What the...' he realized that it was that same figure. "Who..." he started to ask, but stopped when he saw miroku collapse. "Miroku!" He struggled to stand but fell again. "Muhaha, he couldn't last, how sad." "Damn you, naraku!!" Naraku just smirked and then disappeared with a puff of smoke.

********************

"Hirakous!" sango threw her boomerang as kagome fired an arrow. The beast made a terrible screeching noise and then fell to the ground. Its flesh disappeared and six jewel fragments fell to the ground. Kagome picked them up. 'Who was that figure?' "Kagome! We have to help inuyasha and miroku!" "Right!" She and sango ran towards where they had been fighting naraku. "Inuyasha!" she ran to him. "What happened?" "He got away." "Naraku?" he nodded. "Are you hurt?" "I'll be fine. But miroku is really hurt." "Oh!" she went to miroku. 'Inuyasha was right, he is hurt badly.' "We have to get him to keiade right away!" "right" said inuyasha and sango.
