Inuyasha and Kagome had been walking for hour. They had left the others at Kaede's village. They had heard of a small rumor of two demons that had teamed up and had at least three jewel shards.
They had to check it out, but they didn't have the others only for the fact they were just seeing what kind of demons they were. Besides they had heard another rumor on how the demons found the jewel shards, it was sad really. Everyone said that the two demons were just walking and three jewel shards had just fallen in front of them. One of the demons had a thing for shiny objects obviously.
When Inuyasha had heard this he just shook his head and muttered something about stupid kitsunes and shiny things, and now here they where walking. Neither one talking, after all they were sneaking weren't they? When Inuyasha suddenly stopped and started sniffing the air.
"Well they aren't kitsunes, but they smell elemental." He said in a hushed tone.
"What do you mean by elemental Inuyasha?" Kagome asked in the same hushed tone.
"I mean one smells like flame and the other more like smoke." He said as if she should have known that already.
"Are you sure your not just smelling a fire or something?" She asked not really believing him.
"No the smell of fire is different ya know. Plus their separate, not just one thing that causes the other." He explained.
"Well ya wanna go check it out? I don't sense the jewel anywhere though." Kagome asked him.
"Well ya I've never seen this kind of demon, their very rare." And so the couple started walking. Following Inuyasha nose, if only they knew how much trouble it would get them into.
