DISCLAIMER: *walks out holding a big ass piece of poster board and a billboard which is in the back of her the poster board says "I DON'T OWN INUYASHA!!!!" and the billboard says "QUIT RIDICULING ME!!!" *cries* Ya happy now!?

A/N: um...if I explained what the story was about I'd be giving the plot away...Kagome mysteriously comes down with an illness or so everybody thinks that's what is only is. Enjoy!







Chapter 1







Sango and Kagome looked around to see if Miroku was trying to look at them while they took a dip in the hot spring, seeing the coast was clear they hung their clothes up on some nearby branches and got into the spring.

Kagome leaned her back against a large rock closing her eyes and getting lost in her thoughts.

'Naraku is sure to come after us, we've got most of the jewel shards.' She sighed as she looked at the jewel shard around her neck and wondered what would happen once they defeat Naraku and the sacred jewel is finally completed.

Sango looked over at her friend and by the she had been acting the last few days something was obviously bothering her. She seemed too depressed and not acting her usual happy self. Sango walked over to where Kagome was and stood beside her hoping she could get her to talk to her about whatever's been bothering her although she probably already knew what was bothering her, but Kagome seemed too lost in her train of thought that she didn't notice Sango stand next to her.

'And what, if any, kind of feelings does Inuyasha have for me? Or does he not even like me at all, as much as I don't want to admit it I cant ignore my feelings for him but I cant change his decision if he wants to be with Kikyo all I can do is wish him my best...' Kagome looked over at Sango, finally snapping out of her daze.

"Kagome is everything okay? You seem depressed about something and I have an idea what it is" Sango asked.

"No, I'm fine really just thinking that's all. Don't worry about me" she replied, Sango only nodded knowing when she was ready she could always talk to her.

From the bushes a lecherous monk was trying to spy on the girls while they bathed, he didn't get to see anything when Inuyasha whacked him on the head.

"Don't you have any self-control whatsoever?" he asked giving him another whack on the head for still trying to look.

"I guess not" the monk replied, with two fairly big bumps on his head.

"Trying to watch us? You peeping tom!" Sango yelled as she threw a medium sized rock at Miroku giving him a third giant bump on his head. Shippo couldn't help but start to laugh.

"Serves you right!" he said in between his laughing fit.

Satisfied that she had hit her target she walked over to Kagome just as she was finished dressing and put her clothes back on as well.

"You know you like him" Kagome said with a slight smirk.

"Who could ever like that lecherous monk?" Sango replied giving Kagome a defiant stare but then couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face. Kagome smiled too but it quickly faded as she froze and looked behind her into the forest. She sensed some jewel shards, maybe four or five. Whoever or whatever was guarding the fragments was extremely powerful and evil. The feeling was making her dizzy and nauseous.

"Kagome? What's wrong? Kagome!? Uh...Inuyasha! Come here quick!" Sango yelled.

Kagome put a hand to her head, as the sickening feeling of the evil power grew stronger. Her head started to feel like it was going to explode. Finally her legs gave out and she fell backwards but was caught by two strong arms.

"Kagome! What happened?" Inuyasha asked then looked at Sango as he laid Kagome in his arms. Sango only shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know we were joking around when she looked into the forest but she didn't say anything...whatever she sensed I don't think she could handle it..." she replied.

"There's four, maybe five shards in the forest...but their scattered in different places...someone or something is guarding them somehow...something extremely powerful and evil" Kagome stated as her eyes fluttered open but it looked like she was trying hard to keep them open. Inuyasha didn't like seeing Kagome like this, he had to get her away from this area. He snapped back into reality when Kagome tried to stand back up, but was too dizzy to and collapsed again into Inuyasha's arms, this time she had lost consciousness. Without hesitation Inuyasha placed Kagome on his back and jumped into the trees head back towards kaede's hut. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo all followed him on Kirara's back.

'Kagome whatever demon did this to you is gonna pay!' Inuyasha thought to himself as he leaped from one tree to the next.
