Chapter 1: Demons

Inuyasha stood down quietly. He was thinking to himself again. He hadn't seen Kikyo in such a long time now. He had been dormant for such a long time now. It seemed like everything had disappeared. No Naraku, No Sesshoumaru, and… No Kikyo. He had wondered many times that if he had gotten that off track. Had Naraku succeeded in hiding from him? If he waited any longer, he couldn't imagine how strong Naraku would get. He hadn't had a descent fight in a while either.

Inuyasha sighed. It seemed like he was in another world now. Where was everyone? The only people he had seen in the last few months were his companians. Before he could think it over he heard Sango.

"INUYASHA! There are demons attacking the village!"

"They can't be any stronger than the last batch." Inuyasha said boredly.

"You'll be surprised this time." Miroku said. Inuyasha open the door to the room he had been in, and opened one eye. His eyes almost poped out of his head. Their were thousands and thousands of demons.

"Feh! Finally, I have been waiting for this for a long time now!" Inuyasha pulled out his Tetsaiga, jumping high into the air. He saw a distant figure behind the swarm of demons. "Kikyo?" His eyes widened. The demons took advantage of Inuyasha's sudden lack of concentration. One of them smacked Inuyasha to the ground.

"Ha ha Inuyasha, that was the lamest attempt I have ever seen from you." Shippo jumped on to Inuyasha's head. "I can do way better. Transform!" In a flash Shippo turned into a huge pink ball.

Inuyasha yelled angrily. "What are you going to do? Use your Fox Fire?" He strick Shippo on the head, forcing him to land.

"Stupid Inuyasha"

"Wind Scar!" A number of demons were destroyed, but more and more came. "Where are these things coming from? Naraku?" Suddenly an arrow shot through the demons creating a big hole in the group. It was Kikyo! Inuyasha ran through the hole reaching for her.

"Kikyo!" Inuyasha yelled.

"I'm glad your safe." Kikyo said sternly. They hadn't seen each other in a long time. The two ran attacking the great swarm of demons quickly.

"Hirakotsu!" Sango yelled, throwing her giant boomerang weapon at the demons. "Hey Miroku, look there. Its Kikyo."

"We haven't seen her in a long time." Miroku said. "But with Inuyasha complaining everyday, everything seems to be happening too slowly. Great teamwork as usual." Inuyasha and Kikyo seemed to read each other's minds. They attacked fluently-never losing balance or slowing down.

"Now!" Kikyo yelled. Inuyasha picked her up jumping to the tallest and biggest demon there was. Kikyo shot the demon on the forehead, obliterating it instantly. The demons retreated, having lost their leader. Inuyasha lowered Kikyo gently to the ground. He wanted to kiss her, but stopped himself.

"Inuyasha, I need a word with you."

Inuyasha sighed. He doubted Kikyo was planning to talk to him. She was going to talk to him about Naraku's plans. Kikyo started to walk to a nearby tree.

"Don't bother walking." Inuyasha said. He picked her up cradled in his arms, before Kikyo could object. "So what do you want to talk about?" Inuyasha said lightly.

"I-I" Kikyo shut her eyes tightly for a second.

"Are you okay?" Inuyasha said, worriedly.

"I'm fine its just…" Kikyo fainted.

"Kikyo wake UP!" Inuyasha exclaimed in shock. Sango and Miroku had gone to sleep. He jumped to his room with Kikyo cradled in his arms once more. He lay her on the ground. Kikyo opened her eyes.

"Inuyasha…I have been injected with poison…the demons…I don't have much strength-" Kikyo's eyes closed again, Inuyasha wasn't going to have much time to save her.…
