Chapter 1

She felt arms. Arms trying to take her. She opened her eyes, only to look into the eyes of a dark man. He had a comrade that was trying to take her as well. She struggled. She even screamed. No one came to her rescue. Why can't they hear me? She thought frantically. They're right near me! A hand covered her mouth as she was pulled out of her sleeping bag. She managed a glance to her left. Another man was standing over Sango! He put a mask to her mouth. She looked behind her and noticed three more men had the same thing over Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara! And Inuyasha? She glanced at the tree where he was sleeping in. Inuyasha was on the ground, bleeding! At that sight, she bit the hand that covered her mouth. The man let out a yell and released her mouth.

"Inuyasha!" she yelled.

He didn't move. Not even a stir.

The hand covered her mouth again and he put his arm around her waist holding her so she couldn't escape. Her screams were muffled. She tried to kick the man but he was apparently too tough.

"Stop struggling, Kikyo", the man commanded.

What? I'm not Kikyo! Let me go!

"Come on!" the man called to his comrades.

"Help me with her! Give her the miasma!"

At that she tried much harder to escape but the man had his arm tight around her. One man stepped up to her and put a mask to her mouth that released a poisonous gas. The man who held her removed his arm away from her mouth. When she tried to move her head away, the same man grabbed her head and held it straight. The man that was holding the mask pressed it to her mouth and pinched her nose. She tried to hold her breath as best as she could but she was getting very dizzy, very fast. The man still had both arms around her so she could not escape. She needed air now. She gasped out the gas that was in the mask, which filled her mouth. The miasma started to take effect. Her vision grew fuzzy, yet she still remained conscious.

Surprisingly, she thought of something she hadn't thought before. She kicked the man holding her right between his legs with all her might. He grunted with pain and fell, releasing her. Still very dazed, vision fuzzy and no idea where she was going, she ran. She heard distant yells and she felt someone almost grab her, but she kicked him with all the strength she could muster. She ran deeper into the forest that she was in. Deeper and deeper she ran. Soon she heard nothing, but kept running. She could not see where she was going. Branches clung on to her clothes, ripping it, giving her uniform small tears.

In her fazed vision, she saw something square-shaped and appeared wooden. Not thinking, she ran to it. She could barely see. She stumbled. She saw purple light. Saw darkness. More darkness…nothing…

The sun shone in her eyes. She sat up.

"What happened?" she said to her left when saw Miroku and Shippo. They were still asleep. She glanced to her right expecting to see Kagome, but her sleeping bag was empty. Maybe she went to wash up…she thought.

She looked at the tree where Inuyasha had slept in. she saw him on the ground.

She gasped and got up and quickly went to him.

"Inuyasha!"

She saw his head was covered in dry blood, and his eyes were shut.

She went to Miroku.

"Miroku, wake up!"

Miroku moaned and turned in his sleep.

"Baka monk! Wake up!" she yelled.

Miroku woke with a start.

"Ah! Sango!"

"Miroku, Inuyasha has been hurt!"

"What?" Miroku quickly got up and went over to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha was in a crumpled form.

Miroku placed him in a more relaxing position. He then checked his head. It had a bump that had been bleeding.

"It seems that Inuyasha had been hit hard on the head that it knocked him out, but why would someone do it?"

"And why didn't we wake?" Sango added.

"Go get Kagome." he said.

"Umm…she's not here."

"What? Not here? What happened?"

"I don't know. When I first saw her sleeping bag empty, I thought she went to wash up. But she hasn't come back yet."

"We'll have to find her."

Sango nodded.

"Quickly Sango, get Kagome's bag. The ningen healing kit."

Sango went over to Kagome's yellow backpack and pulled out her first aid kit. Then she hurried over to Miroku.

Miroku opened it and took out about 3 feet of bandages. Miroku then turned to Inuyasha.

"All I can do is bandage it." Miroku said.

"I can clean the blood." Sango said.

She went back to Kagome's backpack and took out a water bottle.

Using some of the water, she wet the bandage and cleaned the blood off Inuyasha. Then Miroku bandaged him. They set him on Kagome's sleeping bag until he woke.

It was an hour later when Inuyasha opened his eyes. His head throbbed. He moaned.

"Inuyasha, you're up! Sango, Miroku, he's up!" Inuyasha saw Shippo run towards two figures a couple of yards away.

The two figures, Sango and Miroku, and Shippo were with Inuyasha in less than a second. Inuyasha then sat up.

"Hey Inuyasha, you feeling better?" Sango asked.

"You had quite a bump there." Miroku said.

Inuyasha just looked at them.

"What? What are you talking about?" after he glanced around, he said," Where's Kagome?"

Silence.

"Where is she?" he asked again, more furious.

"We…" Sango started," We don't know…"

"What!"

"She wasn't in her sleeping bag this morning." Miroku said.

"We thought she'd be back by the time you woke." Sango said.

"But she hasn't." Shippo added.

Inuyasha stood, ignoring everything. His throbbing head, his friend's protests, (you know the 'you should rest first' thing) and he ran deeper into the forest looking for Kagome.

Sango, Miroku, and Shippo got on Kirara and took off after him.

FreeMoment♪- Hi. I bet you're why I'm here when I'm not the author who posted this. SaSuKe'sGaL and me made this fic together. I did this chapter and I'm doing chapter 2. I'm actually quite proud of this chapter even if it's my first time making an Inuyasha one. Oh, and I'm sorry if another fanfiction is similar to this one. I'm relatively new to the Inuyasha section of I have only read 10-15 of them and the ones I have read were nothing similar to his one. I also must say that I had to modify it. Sorry SaSuKe'sGal!Well, c'ya!

SaSuKe'sGaL- Hi. Ok, so I really didn't write this fic. FreeMoment♪, my best friend, does get much credit for writing her first Inuyasha fic though. Well, we're starting the next chapter and it will be on soon. Ja ne!
