ONCE UPON A DECEMBER…

There it was holding Sango, in his monstrous claws. Everyone was there, Inuyasha, kagome, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara. The Shichinintai were there to see the demon that they brought do its work. 'That stupid demon, he wasn't supposed to get her! He was supposed to get that weak woman!' Bankotsu thought.

"Wind Scar!!" Inuyasha yelled. Hitting the demon hoping not to get Sango in the process.

'Inuyasha has been very protective of Sango in battle as of late. Could it be that he loves her and not the miko?' Bankotsu thought to himself.

"Damn!" Inuyasha said. "He moved I didn't even hit him!" he said to the group. Just ten kagome shot one of her sacred arrows at the demons arm that was holding an unconscious Sango. She hit her mark, earning a smile across her face but it soon faded away when she saw what happened next.

The demon did in fact lose his arm, but before he did, he threw Sango fast and hard, across from him. Sango went flying across the ground skidding it and landed in a heap of rocks hitting her head hard.

"SANGO!!!!" Miroku called out to her, running some what of the way to get to her, but was stopped by the demon. The demon attacked the monk, but Miroku easily dodged it.

"Miroku, we have to defeat it first!" kagome called out to him.

"Yeah it looks that way!" he called back to her. 'Hold on Sango im gonna get you' he thought.

"Now is our chance to get the weak miko, Bankotsu." Suikotsu said, getting ready to kidnap kagome.

"No, we're not getting her, were going after the slayer." Bankotsu said pointing in the direction of the fallen slayer.

"What, but why Aniki?" Jakotsu asked

"Inuyasha has been very protective of her as of late. Look see?" Bankotsu said pointing toward the battle. "He's leaving the miko, unprotected."

"Yeah I see isn't that why we should get her? And not the slayer?" Jakotsu asked

"No, its not. Maybe he has fallen in love with the slayer, and not the miko." Bankotsu said pointing it out.

"Ok so we're after the slayer now not the miko?" Renkotsu asked

"Yes, but I will get her, Suikotsu you going to pretend to try and kidnap the miko. Renkotsu go after the monk and Jakotsu-" Bankotsu was cut off.

"That leaves Inuyasha for me!!!" Jakotsu said getting all giddy like a school girl.

"Yes, but don't kill them not yet at least. We're gonna have some fun with them." Bankotsu said.

"Ok got 'cha boss." Renkotsu said. Everyone went to execute their assignments. Suikotsu snuck up on kagome and made her scream. Inuyasha and Miroku instantly turn around looking in her direction. The demon had stop attacking at Bankotsu demand, Inuyasha and Miroku began to run toward her when Renkotsu and Jakotsu attacked them.

Bankotsu was going towards Sango; she was laid out among the rocks and dirt. 'If this was any other human they for sure would have died but she is stubborn.' Bankotsu thought.

Once he grabbed Sango and put her over his shoulder. She made a grunting nose but was silent again. Bankotsu signaled for Suikotsu to let a struggling kagome go.

Suikotsu saw Bankotsu signaled and let her go. Renkotsu and Jakotsu saw the signaled as well and retreated. Kagome had a dumb found expression on her face.

"They let me go?" kagome said to her self. Then she shouted "Hey why'd you let me go?" she said

"Kagome shut up the let you go, who cares." Inuyasha said

"You wanna know?" Jakotsu said stopping while everyone else had time to escape.

"Yeah." Kagome said

"We weren't after you, you were just bait." Jakotsu said, kagomes' face grew hard. "You didn't think that we wanted your weak ass did you?" Jakotsu said "Beside why get your weak ass, when we could have some one way stronger!" Jakotsu said running into the woods.

"Stronger? Wait he was talking about Sango!" Inuyasha called out, and looked at were she was suppose to be but wasn't. "Damn you! Bring her back!" Inuyasha said running towards them.

"Inuyasha stop! We cant go! Miroku is badly wounded, and kagome is in shock!" Myoga called out to him. "We have to get Sango later, right now we focus on the people we still have!"

"No they are gonna get away then we might never find her! And what good will that do us?" Inuyasha yelled running again, but Kirara jumped in front of him. She too wanted to save her mistress but couldn't she and the others were to badly injured. Inuyasha fell to the ground pounding hard on it. "I can't leave her, I promised her that I would be there! I promised!" Inuyasha said hitting the ground even harder.
